Use Substratum if the ROM supports.

You can install [Substratum] Galaxy Evolution theme or find another one

Install some custom launcher like Nova and apply icons that look like Samsung or use any one of these

This is the max you can do

Hello guys this is my first time posting in here, the thing is, I hardbricked my Moto G4 and I can't make it work, it reboots each 5-6 seconds endlessly... any help or advice? I'm beyond desperate :/

Thank you in advance.

Here's a video to show you guys:

https:// youtu.be/_v5FErFl4rk

Ps: In the video, the phone is (usb) plugged to my laptop

Ps1: Already replaced the battery and nothing happened :/

Ps2: I know this section it's about g4plus, but I didn't receive so much help :(

Ps4: I followed the thread about recover a hardbrick phone, but can't run the commands just because the phone reboots itself each 5 seconds so, the process can't be completed.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] ____Mdd:
It's rebooting like you have kept power key and vol- key pressed. It may be hardware failure..

But tell us,

What happens if USB is not plugged ?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] letitrrain:
The same thing, the phone reboot by itself each 6 seconds, plugged or not :/
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] ____Mdd:
For a test, flash any partition of more than 100MB,

Keep written command, when it comes to bootloader, enter command.

It will be FAILED, but i want to see what other error command prompt reflects. Post those lines..

If power and vol- keys are pressed, it will reflect "too many links" line somewhere.. just check for it.

I forgot to ask, how this happened ?

After flashing any ROM / firmware or before?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Sorry about the lack of reply to your other thread, I'll reply to you here.

As I recall, the battery on your device was a possible culprit - can you confirm that the connection being made to the motherboard is okay and not damaged? Might be a damaged or loose contact, which may be causing the reboots.

In your other thread, https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4/help/...inite-loop-t3742393/post75398422#post75398422 we were trying to flash a stock ROM, but you were seeing failed (invalid argument). Can you try to reflash the GPT and bootloader and see what response you get? I'm concerned though that because your device keeps rebooting, a firmware flash may not be a good idea (partial firmware flashes are another source of bricked devices).

If that doesn't work, we may have to consider that this is a hardware fault resolvable only by a service centre.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] letitrrain:
Yes, reflects "too many links" when a file/partition is bigger than 100mb

It keeps rebooting itself each 5-6 seconds (its usb/plugged to my laptop)

I already made a battery replacement and nothing's happened, some people says it's a battery thing, other firmware issues and others says it's a stick-button problem which it works well.
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Thanks for the info:

1)So you've replaced the battery, but the reboots still occur, is that correct? Do you know if you (or whoever replaced the battery) checked the battery contacts on the motherboard, check they're not damaged? I'm concerned that a damaged connector may be causing the reboots, which would require a motherboard replacement.

2)Can you confirm this reboot and 'data transfer failure' keeps happening if you change to another USB port (on your computer, not in a USB hub) and that you're using the original Motorola USB cable to flash and power your device? Or if you don't have the original USB cable, that you're using a high quality data+power USB cable?

3)I'll let ____Mdd verify this, but the 'data transfer failure (too many links) is possibly due to the volume and power keys pressed in?
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] ____Mdd:
I have faced that once,

i was experimenting and my bootloader hanged, so i restarted by pressing Power and Vol-, this show me that lines in cmd screen..

That's why i can say your device have hardware problem, something is keeping power/vol keys pressed.

(Searching on XDA show me that line also appears if there is Driver or other connection problem) but here possibilities are more of keys pressed, definitely hardware failure...

But still, you haven't answered how / when this happened ?

You tried to disassemble device ?

While flashing anything ??
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] letitrrain:
1) It was connected and everything was working "well", maybe it's not a battery issue :/

2) it's the original motorola usb, I tried with the original one and a cheap one and happens the same

3) I don't press any key because it reboot itself and leads automatically to the fastboot screen each 5 seconds.

Thank you for your reply, it means a lot to me
[Moto G4 Plus Questions & Answers] echo92:
Hmm, I'd try pressing each of the volume and power buttons whilst your device is off, checking that you feel a click when you push them and they retract properly.

Else, it's starting to look like a motherboard issue, hence why I was asking if the battery connector was possibly damaged or loosened at any point (from the teardown videos, it seems like a 2 pin plug). If you're in fastboot, you're at the base level of firmware that is accessible by us, so your system, recovery, kernel and other software shouldn't have loaded in at this point (bit like the BIOS or UEFI). The only other thing I can suggest would be to re-flash just the bootloader and GPT, but without a stable device, flashing either of them and getting interrupted would lead to a hard brick. I do not know if the hard brick would be fixable with this blankflash: https://xdaforums.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/moto-g4-plus-hardbrick-solved-guide-t3657761

Something strange is definitely happening remotely as I am able to update an app or two and then get the Error 404 again if I try to update a number of apps in a certain amount of short time, almost like it is being throttled/limited remotely to a certain number of downloads per certain amount of time.

Also, using the Stock ROM, is anything routed through China servers?

EDIT: This has been added to the steps above.

_______

Good write up, but please add the "don't check root" file. It would go into the section where you flash the no verity file.

LG-rctd-disabler-1.0.zip

https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/lg-rctd-disabler/

A lot of people are already using it when flashing TWRP with the phone.

_____

ANOTHER EDIT:

After installing TWRP, it's a good idea to download

TWRP Manager from the Play Store

.

From that app, you can easily reboot into TWRP without doing the power/volume button dance. In the app's settings, change app start up screen to be reboot options. That way, every time you open the app, that's the immediate option you can choose.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes. We're trying to get the V30 TWRP developer [MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION]to change the TWRP name and the description, but he's ignoring us right now. ;) It's compatible with US998. Been proven many times.

If the TWRP developer would edit the thread title, op, and even the file properties it would eliminate a lot of confusion. For instance, doesn't need show H930 when plugged into your PC in TWRP mode. I don't have an H930, I have US998. It could easily say "V30" or "JOAN" (the LG code name for this device).

It's just the H930/H930G was placed on LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list back in December. We're playing catch up to them.

Read paragraph #2 of the op:

Are you able to get bootloader unlock.bin from the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list website?

It's only for V30/V30+ that are eligible to do that.

I'm not being smart aleck. The US998 V30 is not officially listed as eligible (yet). But someone found a way to hack the dropdown list and still get US998 V30 unlock.bin. It works if you follow the right steps. The US998 V30+ SHOULD also work, but does not (yet).

So, the answer for you is probably no. But you'll have to try to get bootloader unlock.bin from the LG Developer Bootloader Unlock list website to know for sure.

Can't access TWRP

Hi guys,

I'm having a problem entering TWRP.

I unlocked my bootloader and "successfully" installed TWRP. But I can't get past step 5 (the tricky part). So after flashing TWRP I disconnect the phone from the PC and switch it off. Then as described in step 5 I access the part where I'm supposed to do the factory data reset. But once I hit yes for the second time the black-orange warning screen pops up immediately and after a few seconds the phone reboots to the normal software which is NOT completely reset.

So I just can't access the custom recovery TWRP no matter what I do or how often I try...

I would be very grateful for any help :)
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
See the answer IMMEDIATELY above your question. Do people not even read anymore? :)

Everyone, please

read post #16

instead of asking about EVERY SINGLE MODEL.

Unless you have H930, H930G, US9998U (and only V30 right now, not yet V30+), the answer is probably "no". But you won't know for sure until you go to the LG Developer website and try to get a bootloader unlock.bin file. From the op:

This whole thread -- right now -- is about what to do after obtaining that file. In the future, if there's some exploit found to unlock bootloader of other V30 variants (like the U.S. Cellular US998 especially) or add flash commands to the T-mobile H932, then these instructions could help there also.

But right now if you can't get bootloader unlock.bin file from LG, your phone can't have TWRP and be rooted.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Wotta:
Once you get to the normal phone software, my guess is you have to back up to reflashing TWRP via ADB/Fastboot. I don't know why this would be, but it seemed to me that it wasn't fully written until it was booted into. That extra step (ADB/Fastboot) only takes about two minutes anyhow.

You could double-check by starting ADB when in normal mode with USB debugging, and entering "adb reboot recovery". If TWRP is fully on, this will prevent you having to do the volume-control dance.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tt-bert:
Thank you for the quick response. But I didn't quite understand. Once I boot into the normal phone software, TWRP is errased again, right? So if I just go on and do the exact same thing again (flash TWRP through ADB/Fastboot), how does that change anything?

You mentioned, that I have to enter TWRP first, before it is fully flashed into my recovery. But that is the problem I'm having. I just don't know how to access the custom recovery in the first place.

When I type adb reboot recovery into the console the phone only boots into the black orange warning screen

My model is a European (German) LG V30 H930

I got the TWRP from: https://www.the***********.com/install-twrp-recovery-on-lg-v30-h930-h930g/

Update 1: I tried again and for some reason it deleted my phone, so I had to do the setup again. When I boot into recovery now (via adb reboot recovery) I see the green Android thingy with a red triangle and the screen says "no command"

Update 2: So I tried multiple times: whenever I go through the button dance to do the factory data reset after flashing the recovery, the phone shows the warning screen and boots normally into the operating system. Once I try to enter the recovery from there via "adb reboot recovery", my phone starts erasing everything. But only than, not before. After erasing I have to start setting everything up again... I still couldn't enter TWRP
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
This usually happens, at least from my experience with Nexus devices, when you don't boot recovery after flashing and flash root or when you don't call the recovery you are flashing, recovery.img. On the first boot when you don't boot recovery and flash root, the OS rewrites the original recovery or recovery just doesn't work. I believe the command to reboot recovery after you flash it is: fastboot reboot-recovery. I always rename the TWRP image when flashing to recovery.img before flashing. Once flashed, I rename it back with the version number so I know what one I have stored on my system.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tt-bert:
I named the recovery "recovery" so that can't be it.

From fastboot/bootloader mode I can't reboot into TWRP via a command.

fastboot reboot-recovery doesn't work either
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Andrew Hidd:
Hello , this what I have done for making TWRP sticky. In fact when you first flash TWRP and do a normal reboot after, then you lose it.

Two options for you :

1 - Doing the dance button (from what i understand you are having troubles doing it)

2 - More easy reboot recovery from ADB, how ?

I have flashed TWRP like this :

sudo ./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0.img

So if you want to boot recovery type this :

sudo ./fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0.img

You can check before with this one

./adb devices => You should read recovery for status

and voila :) Good luck
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tt-bert:
That's one thing I forgot to mention. Even trying to enter TWRP without flashing it doesn't work. All of the following commands just boot the black-orange warning screen, which is followed by a normal reboot into the OS:

From operating system: "adb reboot recovery.img"

From bootloader mode: "fastboot boot recovery.img"

First flashing the recovery and then immediately loading it from the bootloader screen via "fastboot boot recovery.img" doesn't change anything either.

"adb reboot recovery" reboots to the screen with the green android symbol with the red triangle and the text "no command"
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Andrew Hidd:
I m sorry (I maybe did not understand)

But it appears that you type adb for booting recovery (./adb reboot recovery.img) this is not ok.

You don't use adb when you want to boot recovery, you have to use fastboot.

In your example , you have to type :

sudo ./fastboot boot recovery.img

that should work (i am under Linux, I have better result when I got root with sudo, try to be admin also in your windows CMD shell)

Let me know
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tt-bert:
I tried both: 1) loading it from the normal connection to the PC via ADB

2) loading it from bootloader mode via Fastboot

Both didn't work.

Maybe I should just shoot a short Video so you guys see what I do incorrectly. The whole process just takes about 3 minutes...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Andrew Hidd:
Do a video, this is what I input from my shell when I install TWRP and reboot on it.

All those commands are entered in this order and I use the same shell. I do not turn off the device, nor exit the shell.

*) Check if my phone is detected

sudo ./adb devices

*) Boot into bootloader mode

sudo ./adb reboot bootloader

*) Flash the TWRP from PC

sudo ./fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.1.1-0.img

*) Reboot into recovery with fastboot

sudo ./fastboot boot twrp-3.1.1-0.img

PS : of course your bootloader is unlock ? ??
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tt-bert:
The bootloader should be unlocked. I always get the confirmation after flashing TWRP. Also, enable OEM unlock is unchanchable and set to yes.
