[LG V20 Questions & Answers] tbag112277:
My phone does the same thing after a battery pull or shutting it down completely and starting again. It says firmware update, now waiting for any connection. Funny thing is I didn't root or mod this phone in anyway.

I wanted to post this cause maybe it'll help someone get their phone up.

When it locks up with the firmware update screen I pull the battery, put it back in. Then I plug the phone into the charger, wait for the charging icon to come up with the percentage. Then press and hold the power button only like normal and then it starts up.

By the way I have the U.S. cellular version. Kinda makes swapping the battery useless if I have to run for a charger every time I pull the battery. I'm guessing I'm gonna have to contact lg on this one.

Hello, i´m from Argentina and i have an LG V20 h990ds model.

I'm having the same problem, could someone explain me step by step what should I do? I don t understand practically anything. I just want save my cell phone. I already tried to use the LG UP with the uppercut. Could it be that I have already finished with all my possibilities?

My v20 has been doing the dreaded firmware update loop for like a month i have tried everything to get past it. The only thing that helps is to completely drain the battery and wait till the charge battery symbol appears. But the battery has to be completely drained for this to work
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Kyusaku:
I have a stock T-Mobile version, and this happened to me recently when doing a battery swap. What seems to work for me is press power and volume up and hold volume up like a second after LG logo and it boots normally. The two instances I tried this while this was happening after a battery swap it was successful.

Phone bricked after battery died

My LG 910 is doing this s well, but I have never attempted rooting my phone or modifying the software in any way. Mine started doing this when my phone would die following the latest update. Every time, it got harder and harder to get out of, but it always managed to go boot normally eventually. Then, 3 days ago, my phone died while I was Updating my Facebook, and I have not been able to use it since then. I have found another list of options by the pressing multiple times the power button while it is on this screen, but it will only go into it if it’s not plugged in. If you press power or one of the volume buttons multiple times, it goes to a screen that the says SELECT MENU and the options here are “ma-usb (WiFi) dL

power off

Phone info

And back “

The first option scans for WiFi and brings up a list of WiFi networks but my phone won’t connect to any 0f them even if plugged into it.The power off is self explanatory. Phone info does nothing. however, I did notice that if you are trying to select the option by long pressing power key on the third time, it flashes “adb enabled.!” across the bottom in yellow.... I haven’t seen it make any changes to the phone except that when I select the back option after that, the number next to the 910k and B in the upper left hand corner of the white framed rectangle is different. on my h910 there is a;ways a 910K a space and then a B50 in the upper left hand of the box at the very bottom of my firmware update screen. That number following the B changes depending on key presses and options selected after I hit the back option. But if I take the battery out and replace it, it will revert back the To saying 910K B50 again... I have tried everything to get it back to normal.. has anyone here been successful with fixing this issue? I’m desperate. Also, my memory card is still in the phone and I did have developer options installed on my memory card along with an Sd card along with other apps. I just don’t know how to gain access into my phone the way it is now. Also, I did try factory resetting but after I selected yes to the final question and the phone shut off, it just rebooted back into the firmware update screen again. I have my media backed up so at this point, I just need my phone to work. I don’t care if I have to lose all of my data., I just need to be guided through to a solution that gets my phone up and running again.. Thanks in advance for any advice that anyone has to offer..

[MENTION=8691319]agrace21757[/MENTION] Can you you get into download mode: while the phone is off, hold vol up and plug in the USB cable.

If you can, you can use the H910 root method to fix your phone. You don't have to stay rooted, you can then use the back to stock procedure to put your phone back to the stock firmware.

Do you remember the exact number of times that you pressed power to get to that menu? That is the boot select menu, where you can choose what you want to boot from.

You have verified that booting from SD card isn't possible anymore since that option isn't in that list. However, and I really wondered up till now why there was a tftp client in the bootloader -- and now I know. It should be possible to boot from a tftp server if we know what files to send to the phone.

I need to get to that menu so I can sniff the network and see what file it is requesting when you choose ma-usb (wifi).

It goes into that screen every time I push the power button 5-6 times fast. But it will not do it if I have it plugged in to my computer. I actually got my phone up and running by trying the suggestion here of holding vol up and power releasing them for one second and then pressing them again. Unfortunately, lg decided to push an update to my phone and when it booted back up, back to the update screen. I think the only thing I did differently to get it to work when it hadn’t other times is that I was very careful in the way and timing of the button presses. I’m thinking that this phone is one where that perfect timing is a must.. so I’m gonna try being calm while I try this all over again.. lol This is my luck. I will also try root method to get it back up if I run into any issues. Thank you for your help. Update me on what you find out with that mode.. Thanks again and have a great day!

Hi, my phone is H990DS and is stuck in Firmware Update screen with error 910K B50.

I tried to flash the H990ds10c_00_OPEN_SG_DS_OP_1214.kdz firmware creating proper LG.dll file but my phone doesn't restart and it is stuck on Firmware Update screen.

How can I fix my phone?

Do you know what is my problem?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] wtd03:
I have the same issue.

Phone battery died yesterday. Charged it up and it immediatley goes to this "Firmware Update" screen. I can Hold down Power and the Volume Down. Tried to even factory reset but every single time the phone reboots to go into the reset process it goes straight back to this screen.

I never tried to install any root, any custom roms at all. Just stock all the way.

Would this be considered planned obsolescence?

Fixed LG V20 firmware locked screen

This fix is for LG V20 H990N (Dual Sim) , but I think it will work for all variants of V20 and maybe other LG similar variants.

I finally fixed by accident this issue after playing around with the phone. I love this phone and so far the best phone i have ever used. So i had to get it fixed.

Below are the steps to get your phone working again and booting normally.

Connect your phone charger USB OR connect with computer (USB), any will do.

1. In the stuck up screen ( Firmware update/H910 B50 / waiting for connection), press the "Power" OR "Volume Down" button 6 times or 7 times, this will open a menu with some options.

2. Select the "power off" option, the menu will ask for confirmation so press "Yes". This will switch off the phone and will restart again if your charger or usb computer is connected. At this point , "Don't press any buttons" and let the phone restart normally.

3. If it still boots to the firmware upgrade screen, then try steps 1 to 2 again. In my case i had to do it 3 times after removing the battery. And in case you need to replace your battery you can do that and then repeat steps 1 to 2 until the phone restarts properly.

5. I have tested this method more than 20 times and it seems to be the fix everyone is waiting for.

Did you ever fix this? Mine is doing the exact same thing!
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] matthews449:
I found a fix.

You have to connect your phone to a computer using LG Bridge. Then under Software Update, there is a blue hyperlink in the bottom right corner that says "update error recovery" click on that link and proceed through the update prompts and your phone will start downloading and updating the firmware update. Your stuck firmware update screen will start moving from 0% to 100% at this time. Your phone should re-start in complete working order.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] sabretooth_hamster:
Fixed - when nothing else worked!

My H910 on stock rom started booting only to the "Waiting for connection" firmware update screen.

I tried:

- Holding vol-up + power, releasing power briefly at LG logo, to get into download mode - no change (I actually believe that the screen I'm stuck at is in fact that "download mode" screen)

- Holding vol-down + power, releasing both briefly at LG logo, to get into factory reset - restting made no difference tho

- Mashing power 5 times fast on the "waiting for connection" screen to get into that special menu - nothing I did there had any effect

- LG Bridge - wouldn't connect. Very annoyingly, prompted me every single time to agree to privacy policy, grrr...

- Flashed several KDZs with LGUP - no effect

Here's what worked:

- Pulled battery and power cable

- Dipped the phone end of an unplugged cable in vodka and stuck it in the USB socket several times. Yes, really.

- Blew the excess vodka out of the socket

- Bam, booted into setup for the latest firmware I'd flashed (Puerto Rico H915 FWIW)

This did not look to me like a hardware issue, but it was. FWIW I had been somewhere very dusty recently. I think that was the cause.

I'm still early in testing this (as in I have only power cycled a few times since trying this approach) but I can confirm it indeed did the trick for me too.... what a whack solution. For the record I used 70% rubbing alcohol and canned air to dry it after
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] xexes:
Oh my god in heaven.... holy toledo!! That WORKED!! I have tried everything you listed as well, over and over. Cleaning the charging port with alcohol didnt work immediately, so I was bummed... BUT for the first time, the phone showed the battery level as 100% (I had even ordered a new battery thinking that my old battery didn't have enough charge for the firmware update... when that didn't work I ordered a battery charger thinking maybe the new battery didn't have sufficient charge and I thought perhaps the charger was broken on the phone... which seems to be fairly common. So I got the battery charger yesterday, made sure the new battery was charged... put it in... and NADA!! just immediately reverted to the Firmware Update screen waiting to connect. The weird thing was, when I attached the USB cable from my iMac to the V20, it would switch to something like "do not unplug USB until download is complete".... and then it would only show 0% :( )

So when finally I got a battery icon showing 100% by cleaning out the USB charging port, after nothing for 2 weeks... I thought it was fixed. But it then went again to the Updating Firmware screen. aaargh lol So I removed the battery, re-inserted... used the USB cable I had just cleaned with alcohol.... et voila!!! My phone came to life!!! Unbelievable... I doubt I would ever have thought to use alcohol on the charging port (altho I had blown it out with canned air at the very beginning). So grateful, thank you!!

---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:07 PM ----------

See my reply above.... your solution WORKED!!! I am so grateful because I had tried everything I could find to try (LG Bridge wouldn't work with my iMac since it doesn't have MTP file transfer (and I downloaded Android File Transfer and that wouldn't work either), so borrowing someone's PC was going to be my last thing to do).... then just happened to come upon this solution.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING IT!! :laugh:

The ultimate reason is that Documents UI app is not part of MIUI system. A lot of Wallpaper apps are relying on the Documents app as content provider (since that's the supposedly exposed folder browsing API). File browsing implementation of MIUI's Lockscreen is too proprieatry.

Hello everyone,

I am thinking of buying a oneplus 3t but I might have found a problem...

In the oneplus store, you can buy a normal Tempered Glass Screen Protector and a Curved Tempered Glass Screen Protector which will cover (almost) the whole screen.

My question is, will this curved screen protector cause any problems when combined with the protective cases of oneplus?

Thanks in advance

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BobJayJr:
There seems to be a number of threads regarding this issue but I haven't seen one that details a solution.

My HD 8.9 was acting sluggishly running Resurrection Remix (ver 5.7.3) so I decided to reboot (when in doubt . . .). The HD got hung up rebooting so I powered off. After powering on the HD got hung up on the blue logo. Powering up while holding the “volume up” button gets to the TWRP landing screen (Ver 3.0.2-1 with the red logo) hangs there for a while before returning to a white logo – red logo loop. Powering up while holding the “volume down” button gets to the fastboot screen. I power off open a cmd/terminal window and type (on a Mac thus the “./”):

./fastboot -i0x1949 getvar product

and get the response:

< waiting for device >

I then connect the USB and the HD responds:

product: Jem-PVT-Prod-04

finished. total time: 0.001s

I try to reboot out of Fastboot mode by typing:

./fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

and the HD responds:

rebooting...

and the HD hangs there.

I have tried powering off opening another cmd/terminal session to reflash the TWRP recovery with the same result (i.e., the HD doesn’t respond). Any thoughts/suggestions? Note: KFFirstAid not available on a Mac s probably not a viable solution (the cmd lines codes in the program don’t seem to bemuch different than those tried above).

Use fastboot to flash a fresh boot.img, doesn't matter which one, as the next rom you flash will overwrite it anyway.

I downloaded Hashcode’s original boot file - kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img

Put the HD back into Fastboot and entered

./fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img

the HD hangs at this point but if you pull the USB the HD responds

ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002ed

ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002ed

sending 'boot' (8173 KB)...

ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002d8

FAILED (command write failed (No such file or directory))

finished. total time: 0.085s

I reentered the command line to flash the boot

./fastboot -i 0x1949 flash boot kfhd8-freedom-boot-8.4.6.img

and the HD responds

target reported max download size of 1006632960 bytes

sending 'boot' (8173 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.451s]

writing 'boot'...

OKAY [ 1.558s]

finished. total time: 2.009s

I enter the command line to reboot

./fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

rebooting...

ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002ed

finished. total time: 14.021s

The HD hangs at this point I again you pull the USB the HD responds so I reenter the command line to reboot

./fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot

The HD responds

rebooting...

finished. total time: 0.000s

The HD now boot loops through Kindle Yellow Screen > Kindle Red Screen (TWRP 3.0.2-1 custom red kindle logo) > TWRP landing screen > Yellow Kindle screen > etc.

Any suggestions?
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pokeroo:
Did you check the md5 on the file? Tried a different USB cable? It's clearly communicating with the KFHD but it looks like there's some sort of problem with the data (and hopefully not something wrong with the storage system on the tablet).

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] spacezork:
Hey everyone, longtime lurker here finally going to try to get involved more since I just got a new Moto Z and I don't have much of a background with motorola hardware/software. I'm trying to flash recoveries through fastboot and I can't seem to get it working. I'm probably going to wait a while before I try again since there is not much support for the moto z yet. I am running MPL24.246-45 v6.0.1 XT1650-03, I have unlocked the bootloader through the instructions on the motorola website.

On the bootloader screen I can confirm it is now unlocked, but everytime I flash the TRWP recovery through fastboot I get the error message: "<bootloader> img not working or corrupt". I am trying to flash the most recent twrp recoveries for moto Z (twrp-3.0.2-0-griffin.img) but wasn't able to successfully flash it.

Coming from a samsung background, I might be skipping a step or doing something wrong. I am running the bell canadian firmware. Since I messed up my partitions on my last phone I want to be careful with this one, I mostly want to figure out why I am getting this error while trying to flash the recovery when

my bootloader is unlocked and when I check "adb devices" my moto is being read.

Thanks!!

[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] the ljubich:
didn't try it yet, but did you try renaming it to recovery.img (if on windows be sure extenstions are shown so it is not actually recovery.img.img) and run (didn't see which command you are using:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

but search around forums about encryption thing and similar ;)
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] spacezork:
I've tried both with the original twrp name and extension as well as with renaming it to recovery.img, didn't seem to make a difference. If I am connection to the device itself does that mean that adb/sideload is installed properly? I mean I was able to unlocked the bootloader so I would assume so. :eek:

szork
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] the ljubich:
i really don't know then.. if you successfully unlocked bootloader then fastboot should be ok. you can check in device manager. it should be bootloader iterface not adb interface there (you got me confused with mentioning adb so I am just writing to be sure).

also check if your device is shown when typing

fastboot devices

or try redownloading twrp.

otherwise I am out of ideas, sorry.
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] spacezork:
Sorry for my confusion with adb/sideload - from what I understand I need both to be able to connect to my device (correct me if im wrong). In the bootloader menu I see "flashing_unlocked" which I believe confirms my bootloader being unlocked, but then at the top of the text right under the dead android guy I see "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)" could that be an issue?

I can retry downloading the recovery from the TWRP site, but I know I'm downloading the official one already, just can't put my finger on why I'm getting that error message if others are doing it successfully.

thanks for helping :good:

You're at the bootloader, it says Flashing Unlock so yes your bootloader is unlocked and you should be able to flash TWRP no problem.

Did you recently install this .45 firmware? Are you sure that TWRP wasnt actually flashed? I see lots of errors like this from the bootloader and its usually just rubbish.

The twrp does not show the actual memory value of my cell phone and does not let me paste ROM backup, from insufficient memory? how to support it?
[Moto Z Guides, News, & Discussion] spacezork:
I updated my phone to .45 when I bought the phone I believe 1-2 weeks ago, it's definitely NOT flashed as the flashing process runs for 0.2 seconds and fails. I can even boot in the stock recovery afterwards confirming that nothing flashed. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong? possibility of drivers not installed properly?

Before I try and flash recovery I check USB debugging, OEM is unlocked, don't verify ADB files and accept Unknown sources. Is there anything I'm missing?
