Hello guys,
so here is my situation:
I installed Lollipop but, my recovery is gone. I don't have root, and the worst part is that my USB port in phone is not working properly, it can only be used to charge the device. Is there any way I can root my phone, install recovery or do something to regain flashing abilities?
Please help me, I'm totally lost...
By "USB port not working properly" do you mean the hardware is actually broken, or you couldn't enable the file browser, etc. in recovery (driver issue)?
Which method did you use to install Lollipop?
By USB port not working properly I mean that I think it's actually broken hardwarewise (there is not a single pop up or notification on my phone, and my computer doesn't make blop sound when cable is connected).
I used this zip to flash lollipop:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-t2931659
Sadly now as I said I have no recovery and no root... ?
I would try this
Power off your phone.
Hold volume down and power it on to get this screen

Copy them all into the same folder. Hold shift and right click on the folder, and click "open command window here"
In the command prompt type fastboot devices
If it says <random letters and numbers> fastboot then type the following
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-mako.img
You should then have TWRP recovery installed
Wow didn't know you could do that without a computer

Oh, I missed it if he said he didn't have a computer. I thought he meant the computer didn't recognise his Nexus, and sometimes mine doesn't recognise mine, but fastboot works.
So... Any ideas what I can do that do not require computer?

Have you tried with different data cable?.
1. Download recovery from http://nexus4root.com/cwmtwrp-recovery/
2. place it in the root of the internal storage. Rename it as update.zip
3. Boot into stock recovery and update the zip.
I did try a lot of different cables and a few computers. It really looks like the USB port in my Nexus 4 is broken.
When I try to enter the recovery all I see is a dead robot with red exclamation mark. I've never seen default recovery, how does it look like?
Thanks for trying to help me! ☺

1.Power off the Nexus 4.
2.Press and hold at the same time Volume Up, Volume Down and Power buttons.
3.When you’re at the Bootloader / Fastboot main screen press Volume Up until the Start text turns to Recovery mode.
4.Press Power to boot the Recovery Mode.
> shortly you will see a green Android laid on its back with a red exclamation mark.
5.Press and hold Power button and immediately press the Volume UP.
This will open the Stock Recovery mode of your Nexus 4.
Hope this helps you! Press thanks button if you think I have helped you!
Ok, do now i know how to get to stock recovery, next question is, how do I flash anything from there?

As root of the internal storage do you mean /sdcard/update.zip? If so nothing is happening when I enter the stock recovery...

Be careful to not flash anything so you go into bootloop, same thing happend to me. I bought a new nexus 4 :silly:
You'll definitely need to have a PC to get started. Your recovery may be hosed, but that's not the end of the world. You really just need to get the phone into bootloader mode, and get the PC to recognize it. Get the phone into bootloader mode by turning off the phone, then holding the down-volume button and the power button. You'll get a screen that looks like the post above with the supine android and the green arrow. If you can get that far, you should be golden as long as your USB doesnt actually have a hardware problem.
The reason you likely can't get the PC to recognize the Nexus 4 is that there are actually sever different drivers for the phone. A couple for when the phone is on and connected to the PC (one for ADB, another for media access to allow for file access), and another for when the phone is in the bootloader state. Hopefully, reading the previous post about getting your phone into bootloader mode makes sense and it actually works. If so, all is not lost.
The following forum post from efrant is an excellent guide to get your device with the proper image loaded using fastboot. It covers everything from getting the right drivers to the entire fastboot process. READ THROUGH IT CAREFULLY. There are some steps that will absolutely wipe your phone's SD card, though they *might* be optional, depending on the current state of your bootloader. I'm not sure if you care or not at this point about saving data on your SD card, but you might as well try to save what you can, ya? Again: READ THROUGH THE WHOLE POST CAREFULLY.
Here's the forum link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/how-to-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2010312
Set aside several hours. Start by reading through the forum post completely, until you have a pretty good idea what's involved. Also, make sure you've set up a workspace on the PC you're using to all the necessary files are within reach.
Good luck!

I'm assuming your phone is fully functional other than the broken usb. You can download and use TWRP manager from the playstore to install twrp on your device.

You need workclock recovery installed in your phone, you can find all the info and links in the forum or you can use youtube. With out that you can't install any rom.

Good luck and welcome.
you need to install the drivers too. If you previously had a Samsung Moment then you should uninstall those drivers first. The drivers you need should be in the clockwork post or the root post.
FYI- you dont need to root if you are going to flash a rom that is already rooted.

i tried searching usb tether and got pda net or extended controls, which do i do
I mean PDA Net,it will ask you to download app for windows,download it put it on ur pc,reboot windows hold F8 then disable driver signiture,install pda net on ur pc and it will install drivers for u,just hope u not using 64bit windows cuz then it might get more complicated
i hate to be a ****.. but everything needed is in the 1st stickied thread in this sub-forum... 32 and 64 bit drivers are there along with the one click root... install the drivers,enable debugging on phone download the one click root. 2.4.0 extract it then run the "run.bat" sit back and wait.. when its all done your phone will be rooted,have supersuser and clockwork recovery.
if that dont make sense you should give the wiki a read before just jumping in.

If you want more than just root (a custom rom) you need to install ClockworkMod Recovery first. Root allows you to theme and change fonts and over/underclock and other things like that, but you seem like you want to apply roms instead of developing them (like myself), so you will need ClockworkMod before anything else.
If the one-click exploit for root worked, the same thing for CWM should work too. Before you try to flash it, just make sure:
1. You have the USB drivers installed.
2. You have freshly rebooted your phone. (This is important and frequently overlooked.)
3. USB debugging is activated.
4. Stay awake is activated (my own safety check, lol).
Get the CWM one-click from here:
http://www.sdx-downloads.com/devs/noobnl/one.click.clockworkmod2.5.1.0-flasher-fixed.zip
Unzip it, go through the list above, and run the "run-try-last.bat". Your phone should auto-reboot (you should hear some device inserted and removed sounds on your Windows, give it a minute or two). Let your phone reboot, and then turn it off. Then hold down the volume-down and camera buttons, then hold the power button (during the samsung logo) until the recovery comes up.
If your text is green, it worked and you can start flashing roms/kernels/themes/apps/whatever. If the text is blue, restart. If it boots normally while you're holding the buttons, your recovery somehow got completely deleted and Odin is required.
now what do u mean as far as freshly rebooted....like reboot to factory , like empty phone or simply turn off and then back on?

Hello guys,
My brother bought this phone like 2 months ago. After he saw wat kind of extra functions you can have after rooting he wanted it too. So i rooted his phone which wasn't that hard as i also rooted my own phone.
This morning my brother got this message on his phone saying to update. Unfortunately he did not ask me whether he can or not. So after his phone didn't boot anymore, he woke me up saying is getting this weird kind of error. To show you what i mean i made a picture: see attached:

I have been trying things all morning, I also found that rooting is not the cause of this brick. Which i am not sure of.
So to be clear:
The phone can't be connected to the computer,
I can't acces recovery mode.
And i have no idea how to acces flash mode or fastboot made or this thing called emergency mode.
Thanks in advance,

i have also got a similar problem . i am stuck with cwm 6.0.2.8 and do not have any rom installed .
can u tell me what have u done to recover your phone?
Tried my best to search the forums for anyone else having this issue, couldn't find much.
My N7 isn't rooted at all. It worked fine until last night, the screen wouldn't turn on so I held the power button down to turn it off, booted it back up and it goes into a screen with a red triangle and says "No Command". It sits on this screen for a while and then reboots, and does the same over and over. I can get into fastboot (it also throws the "No Command" when trying to get into recovery), but I'm not sure what my options are. I'm hoping I don't have to resort to wiping the device, so any suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Use fastboot to flash a custom recovery, and then do a nandroid backup. From there, you can mess around without fear of losing your data. Perhaps you will need to re-flash the boot or system image, but I can't imagine what could have happened to it in the first place.

Woah, did you mean power and volume UP? Because that works... it brings up the recovery menu.....
Am I missing something? Is it normal to have to press power + volume up to see the recovery menu?
Okay, so I guess the real problem is that I'm stuck booting into recovery. Was there an OTA update?
I ended up fixing this. Once I realized what I was seeing was recovery mode, I tried clearing data + cache, but that didn't work. Still booted into recovery mode every time. I went through the mess of installing the right drivers (no idea if it's just me but I always have issues with my computer recognizing my devices), and I used the android SDK to unlock the bootloader and then flashed the factory image. Lost all my data but oh well, better than going through the RMA process.
Thanks again for the help. I seriously would have never realized that silly screen was recovery. Why can't it just show the menu by default...
edit: one other thing, the biggest hurdle I ran into was that I didn't have the drivers installed at all. but since I couldn't boot up I couldn't install the adb driver. I was able to install the fastboot one just fine, but the fastboot commands didn't work until I installed the adb driver. only way I was able to install the adb driver was to go into the 'sideload using adb' option in recovery, at that point windows prompted for the drivers. not sure if there's a manual way of installing the driver but yeah. hopefully that made some sense.

From efrants android 101 sticky:*I just flashed CWM, but every time I try to boot into CWM, I keep seeing the stock recovery. Why?If you updated your Android build using an OTA update file (either manually or over-the-air), the update placed two files on your device that re-flash the stock recovery every time you reboot your device. These two files are:/system/etc/install-recovery.sh <== this is the script that installs the patch file/system/recovery-from-boot.p <== this is the patchYou have to rename (or delete) one or both of them, then re-flash your custom recovery.

I ended up fixing this. Once I realized what I was seeing was recovery mode, I tried clearing data + cache, but that didn't work. Still booted into recovery mode every time. I went through the mess of installing the right drivers (no idea if it's just me but I always have issues with my computer recognizing my devices), and I used the android SDK to unlock the bootloader and then flashed the factory image. Lost all my data but oh well, better than going through the RMA process.
Thanks again for the help. I seriously would have never realized that silly screen was recovery. Why can't it just show the menu by default...
edit: one other thing, the biggest hurdle I ran into was that I didn't have the drivers installed at all. but since I couldn't boot up I couldn't install the adb driver.

FIX :
So this is after all of the help I've gotten.
To start this off I'm giving a huge Thank you to
"The Marionette"
I first doubted you and did not listen. But got me to a final functioning LG G2.
"NBreunig3"
Got me on the right path. At first i was just out 'n about, He got me to the right posts which then lead me to a final fix.
So enough with that,
If you first have an LG G2 thats just a black screen when you start it. No download mode, No recovery mode. Follow this video,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d5b_osUTug&feature=youtu.be
So this will make you be able to use Download Mode and Get into recovery mode. Recovery mode didn't do squat for me, TWRP didn't work and factory resetting doesn't work.
Download mode on the other hand, It got me back to stock firmware. Follow this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I had problems using the KDZ version, TOT Worked great.
This will get you back to stock lg g2, Which for me was 4.2.2 and this will remove everything, Apps and pictures will be GONE.
So now you're In 4.2.2, If you want to you can upgrade or stay, I choose to upgrade so i did via LG PC Suite. It will probably show the latest version avalible to upgrade but it will go through kitkat then lollipop.
That's all for my solution. Great thanks to everybody who helped me out. Give their posts a thanks if this worked for you. It's all because of them.
Hello, so I'm in the proccess of updating to lollipop, For me to do that i was going to backup my stuff in TWRP, whilst i did that it failed, it said that /data was not being mounted, So as usual i googled it and i found this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2683787
I followed sdbags reply
Code:
You'll need to manually format it using the terminal in TWRP
Make sure data is umounted then run this command. Make sure you have charged it as well or leave it plugged in.
It can take a number of hours to complete.
Code:
mke2fs -T ext4 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
And wrote the code, It didin't seem to work because it still said unable to mount data, So after that i gave up for today, I went out of TWRP and pressed reboot. Now that i rebooted i put my phone in my pocket taking a breath, when i pull it out again i see that It's all black, the screen, It's on but I'm unable to do anything, If i hold in the powerbutton it will give one flick then be all black again.
What I'm wondering is, Is this a hard brick, or is it supposed to do this as the code mke2fs -T order?
I really need help ASAP my phone is completely fu*ked and i need it.
Thank you for reading!

OK there is hope
First pull the battery
1. Then try booting
2. With device off, hold volume down for 3 seconds then power and keep holding until factory reset appears. Click it. This will take you to TWRP.
3. With device off, hold power up and at the same time plug into computer should enter download mode. Then restore using KDZ

You did a simple brick. I already helped an individual with the identical problem,step by step.
I had the same brick too.
So let me explain.
When you connect your phone,lots of drives should be recognised(more than 10). That is fastboot(a normal thing).
But lets try accessing the recovery first
What people dont know is that the G2 has many recovery access options(depending on which OS version/bootloader you were using:
1.Hold VOL-DOWN and the power button,release and press and hold them again when the LG logo appears.
2.Hold power button and then hold the VOL-UP button when the LG logo appears
In both cases,a white "Factory reset" screen will start. Follow the instructions as if you will do a reset(it WOULD do a reset if you didnt have TWRP installed),and it will boot into TWRP.
You probably have a d802 if you are sure that you didnt buy it in any carrier shop,and that you did buy it in Europe.

Hey, I've tried that, When i do either number 1 or 2 the screen is just black/blue ish, No logo anywhere. The only thing i see is when the screen is completely off.
I'm currently following NBreunig3's tip on using this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
I'll get back with the process-
I need to bump this thread. No solutions work. I've tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 and the linux doesn't even recognize my phone, It's impossible to get up all of the sdb's
I've tried going back to stock with kdz thing, It says that It doesn't detect my phone. There must be a problem there. I've tried different cables and different computers same issue.
Is it possible that all of this is caused by System being unmounted?? Or something else. My phone is encrypted? Could that be something.
Edit : No recovery or download mode show, The screen is either completely off or shows a black / blueish screen but It's on. LG logo never appears.
Did you try following this guide?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56000637
You could have a hard brick,but thus thread should be of help.
But please,follow it carefully,and do not try to rush things.

Hey, I've already tried the no recovery and no download post. Not working.
I'll look Into the hardware part.
Well, hardware stuff is to complicated for me. There is no way that It's going to work. Isn't there any other way via pc? It does show up as qhusb bulk which is a good thing?
You should try a warranty repair if you still have warranty otherwise there are services on sites like eBay that can help you. I have looked on there when my phone was bricked.

Please,check again in Device Manager and tell me the full name of the QHUSB BULK ,otherwise I do not have a f#*!ing clue about your problem.
The exact name and code of your connected QHUSB is crucial.
You can use Snipping Tool(a Windows application which can crop and make screenshots)

Excellent.
You do realise that I asked you if your drives were popping up,and that it would be extremely easy to fix the G2 if you did?
But you IGNORED that question,and went on to other threads...
So now,look at this thread,where I helped the member with the same problem like yours.
But,YOU MUST HAVE ALL THE DRIVERS INSTALLED!!!!!
LG USB DRIVERS( there are ones specific for the g2-"LG G2(All variants)" )
I do think you need the ADb/Fastboot drivers too,do look for them,but probably the LG USB drivers already install it.

Hi,
I've a Samsung A3 with a broken screen and I need to recover some files from it.
The device isn't rooted, have a default recover and ROM.
I'm trying to access via adb, but always shows unauthorized with the command adb devices -l.
Other idea is connect the device trough some cable, is possible with MLH?
Is the A3 compatible with MLH?
The files are accessible, dont worry. You will need TWRP on the device, and ADB configured on the PC/MAC. After that, you can "PULL" the files out of there.
OR JUST USE KIES.
PS, not sure about MHL cables, none worked for me.

To install TWRP I had read that the phone must be rooted.
My great dificulty is how I can root and install twrp on the phone without a screen to see each process stage...
Regarding KIES I never connected the phone to the PC, so I need to autorize KIES to acess phone... and with a broken screen I can't do it.
tks
You dont need root for TWRP.

I saw that is mentioned here http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...a3-sm-t3153682 .
The following procedure dont require root but it's needed a working screen ("Settings > Developer Options > USB Debugging").
http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-twrp/
Use KIES then.
Ok, I'll put this to bed right now for anyone else that happens to read that misinformation posted all over the net.
You DO NOT and never have had required to have root or enable USB debugging to install custom recovery.
Recovery is a mini OS that has absolutely no connection to the main system OS. USB debugging and root are only required for the main OS.
You dont even need an OS installed to use recovery.
Install TWRP with ODIN and then use the tool below. You can do all this without a screen. Odin will tell you what's happening.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2786395
IMPORTANT: You must disable auto reboot in Odin then when Odin says PASS after flashing you must IMMEDIATELY boot to recovery by holding POWER + HOME + VOL DOWN
as soon as you see REMOVED in Odins windows quickly change to POWER + HOME + VOL UP.
This may take you a few tries as the timing is critical.
Note: If your device still boots to the OS and you dont have a security locked screen then you should still be able to use MTP to transfer files. Just plug your usb cable in.
If worse comes to worse and you cannot do the above I will modify the boot.img to give you adb support without needing usb debugging enabled.

Hello guys. I have the same problem as the OP, I have no to little experience in android and anything around it, but I am pretty messed up and i could use some help here :<
I have Galaxy A3 (2016), with broken screen (totally black), stock rom, without usb debugging enabled and a lock pattern in use...
I tried everything I could comprehend from the replys here and many posts around, but I got nothing... I am not even sure that I could get into recovery mode to install TWRP with odin, as it failed (whenever it could pass the the "SetupConnection")...
Is there anything I can do, maybe someone can help me on something i am missing here? :F

Ensure you have the Samsung USB drivers installed.
You need to put your device in download mode.
Boot holding power + home + vol down.
Hold for around 5 seconds then after another 5 seconds press volume up.
Run odin then plug the usb cable in. You will see the 'added' message if you are in download mode.

Samsung A3 support OTG, but not compatible with MHL.
So does the screen switch on? Or is it completely black?
If can you see the screen display, buy an OTG cable to plug a mouse into your Samsung, and click on your phone to make a backup.
Evening. I have a relatives Galaxy A5 with a completely blank screen and no touch. USB debugging is OFF. Im not sure what version of Android is on the phone. I have installed Custom recovery as far as I can tell. I cannot get the phone into Recovery mode. I have been trying to get the phone to turn off by having it plugged into the charger and holding Volume- & Power (As the battery is non removable) then Power & Volume+ & Home but its a no go. I tried Kies but its saying the phone is locked and it needs a password but I cant type it in with a blank screen and no touch. Does the A5 2015 have OTG support? Theres some important info on the phone so he really needs it. Help Please
