[AT&T HTC One (M8)] ryankrogh:
Hello, I am new as a poster on these forums, but not new as a visitor, but I thought I would have the best luck asking around here. So basically I was being stupid and on my HTC One M8, which has been rooted for some time, I wanted to put the 5.0.1 GPE Skydragon on. I had been trying to get S-off in the past, but it had failed. Today I tried again, but still wouldn't get past first bottle. Either way I was impatient and misinterpreted a tutorial someone had created, implying you already had S-Off. I though that would be a later step and this was a different method, so I tried to flash the ROM with S-On, and things went downhill from there. I could make my phone vibrate by using the volume buttons, but a dark screen that displayed nothing. I was able to access my boot loader and TWRP, so I know the screen isn't kill. When inside of TWRP, I clicked on system cache along with Davlik and other ones, so it screwed my system no also. Also, if I plug it into my computer the internal sd and external sd do appear, so that's good. But in recap I am stuck where I can only access TWRP and boot menu, and because my S is on, I cant seem to flash anything nor get past it. Please help, my phone is vital especially in Finals Week. :(

The best way to recover is to flash a RUU...I do not have links for you, but I have been here for a few months. I've heard when problems exist, the best thing to do is flash a RUU...I might be completely wrong, but give wonder_never_cease a pm. He's a very knowledgeable person.

couldn't find that user... he is on the forum, correct?

But in all seriousness this information is posted time and time again here. I'm sure wonders has better things to do than to do your searches for you. Not trying to be rude but its all right here.

You mean you wiped something, like system? What were you trying to accomplish by doing this, exactly?

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

This same situation gets asked several times a day.

Just restore the nandroid you made. If you didn't make one, than that is a mistake I suggest you never repeat ever again.

If no nandroid, you just need to flash a ROM (either by adb sideloader, adb push, mount memory in recovery, or put on removable SD). A ROM that matches you current firmware will avoid the long boot times and broken WiFi that are symptomatic of a firmware mismatch. You haven't posted enough info for us to know what firmware you are on (hboot and radio number).

BTW, what is with all the bad thread titles today? At least 4 threads in this forum titled "HELP", "[Q]" or something similar. This this is a Q&A and help forum, so

of course

you are asking for help and have a question. But please try to give your thread a specific title describing your issue, to help keep the forum organized.

The issue has been resolved after a stressful weekend, there was a droid news article that worked for me, so the RUU method worked in the end. Thanks anyway!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Happy Feet-:
Hello,

Something goes wrong at my ROM. I installed an app to fix the writepermission. It works, all things fine. But then I played with some apps to customize my ROM and suddenly an freeze and then an reboot. After this my es Explorer tells me "path not found". The sdcard symlink goes to /mnt/media_rw/sdcard1/. The other path to access the sdcard are /sdcard1/ /storage/sdcard1/

This works but not the symlink. I can also access the sdcard with Apps like Google+, picture Album or other. Only the Explorer won't work.

I try to change the /system/etc/permission/platform.xml but won't work. (I copied the stock file from the rom zip)

Can anyone help me to fix this? I don't want reflash the rom. I'm at Holiday and no wifi to update all the apps again. [emoji33]

Thanks

Greets Lars

Start your phone without sdcard, then put it back. See if this works. Try uninstalling the apps that messed your phone.

Nothing works. I make an Backup of my Apps and data and make an reinstall. Problem solved.

Might want to change the title to Drama Mode for Note 4 Camera.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uniquebarbee:
It has been combined with Shots and More Moving Subject MUST be in frame FIRST before you TAP ONCE. Do not HOLD or it will take burst shots and only offer "BEST SHOT" feature. When subject enters the frame, tap on the camera icon. Like you do when taking normal picture. Don't hold it.
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poopymonster:
Thanks for the reply. So I was able to do what you said. But after the shot and I go into the photo, my only option is "Best Photo" while all the other options are greyed out.

[LG G Watch R] inscythe:
This morning I noticed that my watch was restarting itself a few times while on charging dock, so I thought that there might be a new OTA. Then, when I'm about to leave, it just stay dead (it says disconnected on the phone too).

I tried long press (5, 8, almost a minute), nothing happens. When I placed it back onto the dock, it just show full battery icon and then nothing. I tried long-pressing the button while on the dock too, nothing...

I'm at loss here, if possible I'd like to avoid return (problematic, coz it is imported).
[LG G Watch R] siraltus:
1. Hold the button until it starts vibrating, then keep holding until it turns off.

2. Press the button to turn it back on and then QUICKLY (as SOON as the LG logo shows), swipe from 11 o-clock to 5 o'clock (diagonally) on the screen to enter the bootloader.

3. Once you see the bootloader, tap > until the red text says RECOVERY MODE, then tap O to boot into recovery.

4. Once you see the green droid robot, tap the screen to bring up the recovery menu.

5. Swipe down until the factory reset option is highlighted, then press the button.

6. Swipe down until Yes is highlighted, then press the button.

7. Wait for the factory reset to complete.

8. Swipe up to highlight "reboot system now" in the recovery menu if it's not already highlighted and press the button to reboot.

9. Wait until the watch boots into the setup screen - this will take about 3x-5x longer than a normal boot, so be patient.

10. Set up the watch with your phone.
[LG G Watch R] inscythe:
I would have done the following if the thing actually can boot in any way. It seemed that it was stuck at some point in the booting process and somehow went into a 'limbo' state?

Thanks for the complete description, but here's how it ended up to me: it seemed that the watch was in an ON state all the while this thing was happening. I waited about 12 hours, until it is seemingly out of juice completely. Then, putting it back to the charger turned it back on and boots properly. Hopefully it won't happen again to me, or I have to send it back to the seller, really...

LG R watch "not turning on"

I'm in the same situation let see if once my watch gets fully charge I will try to do the process, you are not the only one with this problem

---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

The last thing I remember was that I update my watch to the new lollipop android update.

Does it create the problem of in watch????

This process it's no working !!!!!!!

How can I do the 2 step if the screen don't show any lg logo or any light at all?

By the way my phone says the watch is connected.

Please help
[LG G Watch R] riteshgpt60:
I have the same problem with my LG G Watch, it doesn't show LG logo, just showing charging and blinking with big battery logo while connected with charging cradle.

I keep it for 2 week to wait for battery drain, and again when I connect charging cradle it shows the same thing.

I guess there's something problem with hardware.

Anyone can guide me, how can i fix this.

Need help.
[LG G Watch R] netke:
I just experienced the same issue. Leaving the watch to drain the battery does not help. Is there any other solution?
[LG G Watch R] BmoreBadBoy:
You're the man! Thanks for the step by step instructions! One thing I would add to your instructions would be to do all this while the watch is sitting on the charger. Seems like my watch didn't charge at all and when I tried to hold down on the button nothing happened until I did so with it sitting on the charger during the whole process. I just started to setup my watch and it's at 5% so that was definitely the case!

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 AM ----------

Do the whole process with the watch sitting on the charger. This worked for me like a charm. The reason it's not doing anything is because the watch can't charge until you reset to factory settings.

[LG G Watch R] wilsonliang777:
This happen to me once too. What is did was to just put the watch in the charger n long press the function button for about a min n it started up. For some reason the watch got stuck in a loop while it was charging over night. I have been experiencing a few strange bugs happen during the past few weeks. Such as watch zooming n not responding to touch control n watch not responding to turn wrist light up display.
[LG G Watch R] mobiemi:
My g watch also no stay "on" anymore, two days ago [battery was 57%] shuts down suddenly and since then I can not start this watch .

Tried everything, this anoying loop is killing me, if I put it for some time in the charger dock starts for a couple of seconds and shuts down [ sometimes shows starting 36 apps and after finish shuts down again]. Also for a couple of time I entered in recovery mode and reset and wipe, but from today I can not enter in bootloader anymore.

If stays on the charger not showing anything [ only if I kep the buton pressed for 30 sec start to blink the battery icon until I keep the button pressed.

Run out of methods, is something that I am not tried ? Keep all night on the charger , but the same litlle loop [ the watch is very hot on charger but I think is not charging].

Please some one can help me ?
[LG G Watch R] tristarwolf:
Same issue

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

It started after the 5.1.1 update and we are not the only ones having this issue. I am trying to charge it while in bootloader mode using a higher voltage charger. I will report back if it works
[LG G Watch R] tristarwolf:
OK,

Charging the LGR in bootloader mode worked but I am still having issues so now I am going to try to re-flash it.
[LG G Watch R] mobiemi:
If I leave the watch alone for a couple of hours and I put it in the charger, starts first time showing 36 apps and after it's shuts down. After that it starts for 2 or 3 times but only until those colored balls, then is dead again [ even if I leave it on the charger for all night ]. Also tried with 2.0 A and 1.0 A charger.

The worst is that I can not enter in bootloader mode anymore, when it starts on the LG icon I try in vain with my finger from 10.00 clock to 17.00 , the watch is not responding anymore to this command. Only when I put it on the charger and keep pressed the button for more then 30 seconds the battery icon is flashing, when I relese the button the battery icon disapears.

Very disapointed, I have to throw it in the garbage and I never will buy LG.
[LG G Watch R] tristarwolf:
LG R watch fixed

mobiemi,

I got my watch back to working. First, delete all android wear apps from your phone do the same for the Android wear app. Next, clean the screen off (since you are having issues) then let it charge for a few minutes to an hour (even if it looks like its not charging it is). Once charge it might come back on all on its own (let it do so). After it tries twice it will not do it power on again (still let it sit for awhile longer). Next, take it off the charger and power the watch on and try to access the bootloader by swiping downward from 11 to 5 and perform a factory reset, put the watch back on the charger. Once done do a reboot and it will attempt to reset but might power off, don't panic mine did the samething. Finally let it sit on the charger awhile later it will come back on in factory reset mode, ready to connect to your phone. Let the watch sit to recharge before downloading the android wear app and connecting it back to your phone. FYI I did three times heres why- once I added an app it went back to having the same issue as before with restarting and dying. So word of advice do not install any apps. Google is working on a new update to fix the issue so be patient. I hope this helps!
[LG G Watch R] mobiemi:
Thank you for your detailed explanations, tried your method but dosen't work because I can not enter bootloader mode [ I think my watch has not enough power to start the bootloader ].

The screen is very clean and the watch not react at my command. I remember last week I was able to resurect once the watch with similar method like you, but now has not enough juice to start proper. When I put it in the charger show 1 second the battery icon, then starts with LG icon [ in vain try to enter bootloader ], once from 10 times starts, goes until starting 36 apps and shuts down [ when I left it for a period of time and is not that warm like when is lifted from charger ], but mainly not goes far then colored balls.

I have not another explanation for not entering the bootloader and why not going further than a few seconds. Left it 1 minute, half hour and also all night on the charger [ the watch get warmer ], with multiple charger and also from laptop usb.
[LG G Watch R] mobiemi:
My watch is slowly dying, only when I put it in the charger start for maximum 5 seconds and shuts down, after that I try again to start without charger [on the charger not starts at all ] and again after 4 seconds is dead. When starts the screen with LG icon did not react at all to finger touch , could not enter bootloader anymore[ lack of power ? ] I think in a couple of days is dead . Courious when is in the charger for longer period it gets very warm but in vain. Unfortunatelly I have no warranty.

[LG G Watch R] kevzz01:
I'm having the same problem like mobiemi. I'm trying your method without deleting all android apps in my phone since I wiped data and cache from my watch's recovery mode. Since it cannot connect to my phone due to not being able to boot properly, I don't think it's necessary to uninstall the apps from my phone. But I've been resetting and wiping data&cache from my watch but it's still doing the same thing. It shuts down on its own after "starting apps xx of xx". Sometimes it will boot till the colored dots and after that it will go blank and shuts down.
[LG G Watch R] tristarwolf:
Yeah, I thought the same thing at first until I got it back up and running the first time and as soon as the old apps were sent back to the watch it started looping all over again. I was able to reinstall my apps after the latest android wear update. My LGR is currently working with apps and holding a charge longer than a day.
[LG G Watch R] mobiemi:
Hope is not true, unfortunately you are after me, after a while you can not enter either the bootloader . For two weeks I do nothing but I try to turn it on.

*If the button does not turn, I put in charger: starts 10 seconds goes out and turns back for another 30-40 seconds [colored balls], sometimes flashing until the 36 apps loaded, then goes off . I tried hundreds of times, placed in charger, power on from button, put back on charger, left and so on until going crazy.

**Because not enter bootloader I thought the touch it not works anymore, but by a miracle last week lit one minutes [came in white screen apps Starting 36] and went out, I powered by button and the screen shows the welcome screen, language, [responding to commands], unfortunately I was in another room and appeared on the screen put me in charge, until I got to the charger it faded again. From then I do not manage to get out of this deadly circle.

If someone manage to escape from this loop please help me with detailed steps.
[LG G Watch R] tehpie:
I've got the same problem with my LG G Watch R. I've had this problem for months now. Anyone know how to fix it? I can't even get into the bootloader because nothing happens when I swipe from 11 to 5, or 10 to 4.

LG won't even let me return it because I lost the receipt. :(
[LG G Watch R] furygreen:
So do you think there is hope for unbricking the watch R from that state ? (mine is the same) :(
[LG G Watch R] yos.sho:
Have faith my friends,

I had the same problem with my watch, and it came back to life.

I don't know if this is the best way to get it fixed but I did the following :

First, Uninstall all wear apps as recommended, then I started to factory reset via recovery a lot of times while the watch is in the charger, But got the same "shooting down" problem as usual.

I put the watch in the charger for 24 hours and took it off, leaving it to cool down for few hours (it was very hot when I took it out).

Then I turned it on out of the charger and it got into pairing mode, did the process as usual unchecking fit and location option at the beginning, and when it got into app update the watch reset after every app, but got back on by itself to update the next one (in this part i returned the watch back to the charger.

In the end, the watch got back to work properly, 5.1.1 version as well...

Hopefully this process will work for others.

I solved my issue by plugging my G Watch´s charging cradle to my LG G3´s charger...you might want to try another charger as well.

[LG G Watch R] furygreen:
Hello, try to keep it 5 minutes in the fridge (i keep it in a plastic bag although it's IP67 and should be ok with condensating... ) mine does boot correctly after that, also it enters fastboot (so touch works ok after all), i managed to flash some stock roms, i paired it with phone, changed some watch faces etc... BUT unfortunately after a few minutes (starts warming ???) it freezes.

If the "5 minutes in the fridge" works for you, maybe it's an overheating problem ?

maybe we'll consider moving to Antarctica :)
[LG G Watch R] ProfessorPickle:
Same problem no fix yet

Mine is doing exactly as described by some on this thread and others. On charger over the last three days with many cables and plugs in outlets, hubs, and on laptop (as per many other forum recommendations I've tried them all). 98% time LG icon, and will loop through that hundreds of times. 2% of the time spinning colored dots an circles, and 1% goes to installing apps X out of XX. If left there a long time will get very hot. Seems like the root cause is if it runs out of power while doing these installs/upgrades of apps, it is't booting up enough to charge and isn't charged enough to boot. Swiping 11-to-5 can get boot menu and stay there for even up to a minute without dying, but doing any of the menu options (reset, bootload, fast load) it will die at the LG logo. This happened to me one about 6 months ago exactly as described and at some point it just worked, I never knew how it solved itself. Might be trying to boot but needs more battery to boot... who knows.

Cant even get it to turn on.

The haptic vibe goes nuts when i hold the crown, and when i place it on the dock it gives me a little wiggle. But cannot get anything on the display at all. Even tried disconnecting the batter for 24 hrs and trying over. nothing. Is there anyway to force a DL mode? like a usb jig or something. Its basically a brick and i cant use it at all :\
[LG G Watch R] mongbat:
I have an even worse problem, i managed to start my watch up, set it up and everything. However, the moment I remove the watch off the charging cradle, the watch just shuts off immediately. I should think it's not exactly a battery issue as when it's off the cradle, I can turn it on, LG logo pops up, then the watch blacks out again. I booted my watch into bootloader mode, and could leave it there the whole day. Totally doesn't make sense at all!

I'm getting frustrated and totally want to just buy an old moto 360.

- fixed - apparently i need to charge past that 21% mark by alternate cooling and charging after flashing stock 5.11
