Stuck during startup freeze on F460k olleh

Dear friends, I had been using LG g3 for almost an year finally the firmware upgrade make it startup freeze, I've tried factory reset but the menu is not showing up at all. only option I can see is stock factory firmware other than rooting. Found this link when I've tried to give an attempt http://www.usoftsmartphone.com/t291931.html

But I was stuck during LG flash tool to go ahead ... there model refers to 8974 though the firmware Tot file mentioned like F460k.

when I tried to search more about the 8974 it seems more related to processor 801- LG G3 D850 4G LTE SnapDragon 801 MSM8974AC Quad Core 2.45GHz . though my F460k has 805 processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 APQ8084)

like the figure shown in the Flashtool quide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2772199

I am looking for some solutions which can let me use my phone like normal - If I need to go though stock factory firmware then please guide me to correct file for LG g3 F460k -olleh

Pls help me out bender. I am trying to press and hold volume and power key, release it as soon as LG logo appears, press and hold them again but factory reset menu is not showing up
[G3 General] bender_007:
Try pulling battery out Then repeat the same, you have to be fast or just keep holding the volume down and release power for a "millisecond" and hold again.

[G3 General] snuffbox27:
I was able to enter recovery, I did not attempt to boot to system again since I was afraid that same thing might happen. I click fix permission and reboot after that. But it's still the same. Phone is still in boot loop.
[G3 General] bender_007:
Yes. As I said, install cloudyCat6 from which thread you also got the recovery. Or install any kernel for the cat6

[G3 General] BoredKender:
You can't have TWRP (or custom recovery at all) on stock FW with these it seems (maybe just if you are higher than 20C stock.) If you decide to flash a custom recovery you have to flash a rom or you will bootloop.
[G3 General] nqh2508:
Try to go to Download Mode. If it's OK, just KDZ your phone to stock :)
[G3 General] snuffbox27:
Thanks for all your help guys. I will flash cloudy cat 6 2.0 today.

---------- Post added at 09:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

Thanks for the info. The main reason I flashed a custom recovery is that I wanted to flash thermalmod.

---------- Post added at 10:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:44 AM ----------

What kernel would you recommend for me to try? I would like to try that and see If my phone wil boot. Will I lose the custom recovery if I only flash a kernel and not a custom rom?
[G3 General] bender_007:
You wont lose recovery in any case. As for kernel :/ your variant is almost unsupported so I really can't recommend anything. You could extract boot.img from cloudycat and flash it.

Hi Bender, I need help again. I downloaded the cloudycat6 but my stupid safari decompressed it. I recompressed it but I got error while installing it in recovery. its says there's no md5 file found.
[G3 General] Cullenator:
Wiki?

This is a question for the mods from somewhat of an xda noob.

I'm seeing a LOT of the same questions that have been answered pop up in this thread. There's nothing wrong with this, and I personally don't blame the people asking them because I can completely understand not wanting to click through 60+ pages of posts that may or may not have the answer or trying to come up with the correct search criteria to find the answer they're looking for. It would be really helpful if there was a place to keep answers to common questions and links to good ROMs and recoveries that we could easily find, refer back to, and update. Is there a way to start a "wiki" for this model (the F460L/S/K with the SnapDragon 805) by creating a community-maintained sticky post of FAQ's or something?
[G3 General] snuffbox27:
Alright. I won't ask anymore questions.. Sorry if i bothered you
[G3 General] Cullenator:
No! No! You didn't bother me! I'm sorry; that's not what I meant! Keep asking questions! That's what we're here for. :)

I'm just saying we need to find a way to organize our answers so it's easier for everyone to find.
[G3 General] nqh2508:
Never recompress .zip. You must download & flash stock file :)
[G3 General] totalz:
I totally agree, but as a developer myself, I can understand that everyone else should know what we know :p

Anyway, I just got my f460s yesterday. Somehow the rom is really old, 10H, I think. Which is not a bad thing. However, there's no OTA option in Update Center, I get only App Update, really strange. I've been collecting info all morning, but I still cannot determine the latest rom version, the one I found mentioned on xda is 20R. And no one seems to be able to root after 20C!?

I'm planning to use flashtool 2014 with the official kdz file, is that the best approach? Can f460s users post their successful root method with rom version?

---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:37 AM ----------

Cullenator, have u tried any latest official rom or still on CloudyCat?

Does TWRP G3 F400 works for F460?
[G3 General] BoredKender:
No, 400 and 460 twrp are not interchangeable sadly.
[G3 General] snuffbox27:
I managed to fix my phone. I was able to flash cloudycat and installed latest thermalmod. NBA 2K16 running better compared to stock rom. Thanks for all the help guys.
[G3 General] Cullenator:
I think the newest official rom I tried was 20l, but I have the F460L, so the Korean U+ bloatware make the stock roms almost useless to me, so I stick with CloudyCat. Before that, I was using Lam Hoang ROM, it wasn't too bad either.

No, the F400 TWRP won't work on your phone. But there are lots of autorec apps out there for the F460 (I think there's a link to one in the CloudyCat forum). Only flash stuff that's specifically for your model or you will get stuck in bootloop adventure land. :)
[G3 General] nqh2508:
CloudyCat6 2.0 + LG-f460-JZ-kernel-ver-2.3-15_11_25-mkpr = BEST of BEST :)
[G3 General] Cullenator:
That's been my experience. None of the root methods seem to work for any versions after 20c. Please share if you get one to work, of course! :highfive:
[G3 General] vinodh3:

[G3 General] snuffbox27:
Thanks! I'll try that later
[G3 General] NinjaCoool:
Mind sharing your kernel settings? :)
[G3 General] totalz:
Super bad news to me, I bought an unofficial refurbished f460, of course the seller claimed it's brand new. The worst part is I don't know what model it is exactly, the rom was F460S10K, but the imei is F460L :( Should had known there's sth wrong when there's no OTA option in update center. So I think that rom was a modded F460S10K and led me to believe that it's a F460S hardware!

Anyway, I first used PC Suite to try to update the rom, the update process wouldn't even start, the conflict was obvious! Then I used LG flash tool 2014, and tried to flash it with F460S20C (btw, I think SKT sucks on making good rom!). I'm not sure if it's the flash tool or win10, a pop up dialog says the flash tool sent a terminate signal to OS in a 'weird' way. The progress bar on the flash tool was 99%, and status in download mode seemed to be finished. So I thought the process was finished... now the phone is in boot loop, can't enter recovery mode, the android icon shows for 2 sec and back to the LG logo. Flash tool cannot connect to phone anymore, update always timeout...

Please give me some advice. :crying:

[G3 General] snuffbox27:
Did you modify this kernel? I used the original version of this. It's pretty fast but seems to me like there a lot of battery leaks.
[G3 General] nqh2508:
It's not mine. I share for you because i'm using it. Better performance with the same battery drains :)
[G3 General] NinjaCoool:
My bad! I already have that kernel installed, what I meant was if ever you have done any tweaks to your kernel settings (via Kernel Auditor/Synapse) :)

Hi Cullenator, I somehow save my phone with 460S20C. Can u recommend a CWM recovery? Is below the best choice?

http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/cwm-recovery-6-0-5-0-f460s-l-k-t2874916

What's the correct method to enter official Recovery mode?
[G3 General] Cullenator:
For rooting, I've always used LG One Click Root (http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951) without any problems. I've heard stumproot and towelroot also work, but I've never used them.

I would strongly recommend using TWRP instead of that recovery you linked to. If you look through that thread, you'll see a lot of the functions (including backup!) don't work. Here's a post that contains a link to the version of TWRP I'm using: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=58282466&postcount=2

Once rooted, the easiest way to get into recovery is using a root rebooter app like bootdroid or quickboot. The hard key method is very tricky to get right on this phone.
[G3 General] totalz:
Thanks Cullenator,

VERY Very good info, actually I found that once-click root page. There's also a new one that claims the one works on F460S20M, but how do I get 20M, from the official http://lg-firmware-rom.com , I can only get to 20C!! Also if I run OTA check from Update Center, it says 20C is latest.

Super info on the TWRP, can I use that to flash official kdz rom? Or do i have to stick to Flash Tool 2014?

Is there a way to verify the actual serial# of the phone? I'm pretty sure my phone isn't new, just a refurbished one, but I would still like to find out if it's refurbished by LG or some unknown 3rd party...

Hi guys. Been lurking in this thread for a while now.

Just a quick Q. I've been searching for a list of preinstalled apps on my stock f460k (5.0.1) that are safe to remove/freeze. If there's a list, would someone be nice enough to give me a link to it? If there isn't any, does anyone know which apps are safe to disable/uninstall?

Can't go the custom rom route as i have really bad internet, and i'm afraid of getting a bootloop for the same reason (without a working recovery for stock, it's scary to get soft bricks. Lol).

Thanks in advance for the info.
[G3 General] vinodh3:
You can freeze using titanium backup. But do not remove it. Leave the files which starts with com.android

You can install custom recovery if incase anything happens you can restore it from the backup.
[G3 General] cascabel:
Yup. Already did that. There are a few (2 or 3) apks that i haven't frozen yet. I'm just afraid of doing something that could make the phone bootloop since i don't have a recovery installed. [emoji2]

Hey everyone,

I just got around to updating to lollipop, did all the otas, was excited to root and set up my phone, but I'm finding out now that root only works up to 20c? Is that correct? I've tried all the methods I could find and none of them worked.

The main reason I don't want to flash back is that 20c was very laggy and the otas really helped. Phone is super smooth but if course no root.

Any help is appreciated!

Forgot to mention im on f460k20n

hi guys, I did something stupid and need help. After a wipe and fresh flash, I did my steps wrong and froze the LG Launcher before restoring my usual launcher. Now after a reboot it is stuck in the bootup animation (because it's trying to boot to a launcher that doesn't exist).

I can't get to recovery manually (holding pwr+volDown, then volUp+VolDown), and ADB doesn't recognize my device, despite that my PC does see it in the device manager.

Is there a third way to get to recovery? I need to get to recovery to flash the rom again... but I am stuck

thanks

edit for more info. I have JZ Schminer recovery, and flashed radeon maya 1.7.1. I can't understand why the physical buttons combination doesn't work to get to recovery....

download mode works, but I don't know what to do with it

when the phone is looping the boot animation, it reacts to connecting it to the usb cable. Android studio doesn't recognize it either.

EDIT: I fixed it. Somehow I managed to enter recovery in the 100th time. I wiped, flashed, and rebooted normally.
[G3 General] vinodh3:
To go to TWRP recovery Press and hold the power and volume down -> Once you see LG logo release both the buttons and press and hold the Volume up and down it will go to recovery.
[G3 General] TheKaser:
yes, thanks, that I knew (I wrote it in my message). However it didnt work until the 100th time I tried.

Seems like when releasing power and vol down, and then pressing vol up and down, you need to release both of them and then press and hold vol up right before pressing and holding vol down.

anyways, I managed to fix it. I am restoring my apps now.

Cheers
[G3 General] Cullenator:
Yikes! Sounds like a painful experience. Did you fix it by getting into recovery via HW keys? Because I don't think I've ever done that successfully...
[G3 General] TheKaser:
yes, it was pretty stressing :D

in order to get to recovery via HW keys, there is a trick. So, the procedure is:

Turn device off.

Hold volume down and power button.

As soon as the LG logo appears, release BOTH.

Quickly, hold volume up first and immediately volume down

.

In order to be quicker, I was keeping the volume down pressed all the time and just changing power to volume up. You really need to release all buttons and then, in my experience, hold volume up first and then volume down (keeping both pressed).

Maybe you want to try to make it work so that if time comes for you, you will be ready! :D
[G3 General] nqh2508:
Turn off you device and REMOVE BATTERY OVER 1 MINUTE before do anything :)

Update to Lollipop V20c root and install recovery and then flash any custom rom. If you flash custom rom directly from kitkat you sometimes face baseband issue where signal get drops you can fix it by flashing the baseband but still upgrade to lollipop and then install any custom rom.

i can say MM for korean variant is really stable, no signal dropping like international version but if you're live outside of korea ( like me ) you're doomed.. just please, never ever open Global Roaming in your setting! never touch it or say bye-bye to your data connection unless you know korean languange.
