I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you could try flashing a system image. If someone could somehow extract one. You might have to wait for the KDZ

K7 wont turn on

okai so for a few days now my k7 wouldnt turn on like the screen is black here are some things i did if it goes dead u can press the power button and it will say battery needs charge, if u take out the battery and plug it in it lights up with a battery with a ? inside it, if i charge to battery and then try to turn it on with the power button or any other way it wont even light up????

rooted

i didnt use fastboot to unlock bootloader, i used the app on the internet called E-Z Unlock. and then it stopped working?

this was about a week and a half ago i already ordered a replacement but it has been bugging the **** out of me could someone explain why this happened and how i can reset to factory settings when the phone wont turn on?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
Guys please use fastboot from a computer to for the unlock. This is a relatively new device. We don't know how many of these GUI based root tools work with this phone. It has a factory OEM unlock so please stick to the instructions to avoid issues. As for recovering it via factory reset you can try power + volume down, release power (only) at the splash screen then immediately press it again. If its corrupted data it my revive your device...if the bootloader got borked you're in bad shape and will have to wait till we get a kdz, unless by some chance you can get into fastboot and flash the boot loader.

Can anyone make a System.img backup from TWRP ?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] xcaptaintjx:
So i just got my new K7 this time i followed the guides and managed to unlock the bootloader install kingroot and replace it with supersu, now i just need the recovery? Would anyone recommend using the beta1 recovery link or should i wait until it is out of beta and is a official recovery? I've kept up with the forms and it seems like all the features work on the current beta? So is it still in beta or is the more changes needed before it will be official?

Also, if i flash the beta how hard is it to upgrade when the official version is out?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:

LG K7 pro tip:

DONT reboot your phone on the charger....

...unless for some odd reason your apps need to be optimized for ten minutes to an hour.... :good:
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DeadlyFoez:
I did not get TWRP installed. I didn't know it was possible when I started deleting things.

I do have another K7 that is NOT bricked and the same thing happens when I plug it in while in download mode. It is obviously an issue with the current available drivers since I have seen others report the same problem.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
Update. My good buddy Earl Dodson has fixed OTG, along with proper device display when connected to PC via mtp in recovery. We're just looking into fixing the time stamp issue without using the post boot script and then this will be stable. [emoji106]

[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
As far as I know there isn't one. But we have twrp and an unlocked boot loader so we can pull system.img files...so we could build a kdz/cab file.

And how do we got about doing this im all ears
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
I've found some guides on converting cab files to kdz...just need to find more current guides on converting ROM zips, backups or system images to cab and or kdz. Or T-Mobile/Metro will finally just release an official one.

Bootloop

I'm stuck in a bootloop everytime I turn on my LGK7 MS330 It boots into twrp and I keep rebooting and it boots into twrp
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
You flashed closed and are in a boot loop?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Quinton_:
Apparently the problem is that their is no OS installed now so on my K7 it just boots into recovery
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
How is there no os installed? Did you wipe the system?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Quinton_:
one way or another yeah this is kinda my first time flashing a recovery and i guess I deleted my system partition . is there any way you or someone could post a compatible rom or something so that I could revert back to stock or even just a custom rom so i could make my device usable
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
Yeah I can post a system back up from twrp for you to restore when I get in tomorrow. You can download to to PC and transfer via sdcard.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bgbollin:
stuck as well

I am in a bootlooped as well..... Goes to custom boot logo I added after kingroot and flashed twrp beta but only goes to reset using buttons and gives the security error never resetting. Is there a way to force it to reboot to fastboot from boot logo or another way? It was never unlocked either and it is metro so I assume it cannot be unlocked until I can get to the metro unlock app in Android? Correct me if I'm wrong BC I am used to Nexus and fairly stock adb and fastboot.... LG and ZTE have messed me all up!!???
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Quinton_:

Just like nexus devices or any device its important to unlock your bootloader prior to doing any mods. I'm researching how to build a kdz.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] starkly_raving:
Unzip this and put the folder and put it in the twrp folder of the SD card. You should be able to recover your system from recovery

[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Billybobjoe13245:
Press the Volume Down and the Power Button at the same time, about 2-3 seconds until the LG Logo shows.

When the LG Logo shows, release the buttons and then press and hold them again.

Keep pressing the buttons until the it says something about factory reset. Use power buttons to select YES both times. It will factory reset the phone. That's the only way i know to get to Recovery.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] projectexonaut:
it isn't working it keeps running the open recovery script or whatever it is. do you know if you have to press a certain key combo in the reset menu thing?
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Billybobjoe13245:
I honestly don't know what it is. I don't think there is one. The only way to get to it is doing what I said. I just did it on my phone and all it does is use TWRP to factory reset the phone. (I had a backup)

hey just kinda throwing it out there . i don't have time to read the whole forum to see if questions already answered but its worth it to risk being redundant. i've been flashing, modding for like five years round about. the last dozen phones ive owned didn't need to have bootloader unlocked. this one does but is really simple to do. follow the tutorial on here. its like 2 fastboot commands. supersume does work with unlocked bootloader also.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goongydin:
So i got a k7 from metro wed night and used kingroot to root sucessfully. I then went to run the commands to unlockbootloader but it didnt work so i quit in fear of bricking. Also decided to skip twrp install since i had a problem w unlocking bootloader. Phone was fine and i then used supersume which did work correctly. Phone was fine at this point. Yesterday i installed link2sd and moved all my downloaded apps making sure not to move any preinstalled apps. Before i could get through moving the downloaded apps i started getting a bunch of error messages so i restarted the phone. Upon restarting it went to a secure boot error 9 screen. I was able to get a replacement from metro but am afraid to even root at this point because i dont know what exactly caused the boot error. Also is there any way to unbrick from the secure boot error 9 at this point of time just incase.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kw69747:
unlock your bootloader first. follow tutorial on here. it works same commands on couple devices i've owed. i never heard of bricking trying to unlock it. it just works or it doesn't. if you copy and paste the command lines it cuts out mistyping things.
[LG K7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Goongydin:

im in a very similar situation, i have realized it is from the play store.. i downloaded lucky patcher to try it out. but i got the unlock and root and install just fine, i do a lot of console programming on enterprise routers, so the adb is simple. i do have a nandroid recovery and a twrp recovery image of stock and working twrp on my phone. i tried doing a factory install (to the recovery i assume because it did it through twrp.) and if i could get through the damned setup wizard, i could delete my acct re-enable usb debugging and have it fixed in no time, any ideas yall. can i convert this zip or this win recovery to a format (not sure what i need) that i can load through download mode? thanks in advance.

Hey guys as of yet there's no kdz or brick recovery method(I stress yet, we're working on it.) As I've stated in above posts please follow the guide.
