Stucked on boot because of Chainflare,cant even access recovery menu. - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need help!
Im using LG P715/P716
I have a rooted phone.I want to make tweaks so I can play games smoother so I installed ChainFlare 3d then installed the drive which it needed so I can use all of the options.It gave me a warning that if I continue I have the chance of bricking my phone.My phone restarted and realized my phone was stucked in a boot loop.The most annoying thing is that I cant go to the recovery menu which is needed to restore back my phone.I tried all possible combinations,the power+volume up/down+hone didnt actually work.I already knew my phone cant go to recovery menu before this happened.Because I remembered last week,I downloaded quickboot,it didnt work also.I really want to know how to bypass the boot loop without having to gain access to recovery menu,or a solution to the recovery menu problem.HELP! Any reply would be greatly appreciated!

Lol and how do you flash stock on bootloop ? Read OP then comment .....

If it is caused by chainfire bootloop, and can not enter the recovery is the only alternative, only come into download mode

Op is asking how to get out of bootloop and access any menu so he can install things like stock you mentioned
You basically told him what he wants to do anyway and not how to do it ...
One does not simply plug bootloop to PC and flash ....

Are you sure you cannot get into download mode? Hole power til you see the LG logo twice, then release so it powes off completely... Then hold only Volume up and plug the phone into your computer while holding it.

i got an update after i installed it it didnt boot to system , went to recovery and after i restart it this happened . .
try plugging it in and use the LG software...I never done it myself but if you search i think there is a way you can fix it using LG software.

I am not sure if you this will help 100% but what I did was installed the recovery in my phone then I updated my phone. Which made my phone go in recovery and if I restarted it gets stuck in recovery. I wasn't able to get in download mode as well.
If you can get in "recovery" then you can use this fix
to get in recovery hold the vol- and power button until your phone vibrate and you are in recovery.
then execute these commands through adb shell
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Edit--- after executing the commands flash the stock rom--- using LG flashing kit. Search the xda and you will be able to find a thread that details how to do it. yes you will be able to get in download mode, i got there in 2 tries.

What kind of update caused this? You mentioned you got an update and then it was stuck dead.
Rooted/Custom Rom?

Sorry, can't read the link, but by recovery, you mean TWRP, right?
So basically, after rooting we can still do an OTA update, and it's still safe, right? But once we installed TWRP, we should not do any kind of OTA updates?
For TWRP, is this method good enough:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTJI9ThY0mk
To Root, I will use this method:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y45SXPRb31o#t=149
Sorry if I am steering topic off-course but I just wanted to make sure others don't do the same mistakes and end up in same situation.
Your suggestion of not doing OTA update is really valuable, so I wanted to build on that.

The easiest and the way that really worked for me was to root it using "Vroot" http://www.mgyun.com/
but you should check which phone you have and which OTA version you have. As far as I know 11g and 11c for korean variant can only have cwm i am not sure if that is true for other phones as well. But be sure to check it. TWRP only works for 10x versions (where x is any alphabets) still dig deeper, I might be wrong.
But you should never update your phone after recovery.
and backup your IMEI number ... the thread i posted earlier try using google translate and download the apk to backup your IMEI by Hoang.

[Q] LG G2 D802 Bricked..help me please

Hi!
I managed to get my device totally bricked.
Phone is on bootloop and I only get LG logo and then "Security Error" message. I can't enter recovery mode or download mode. Only mode I'm able to go is the "Hardware key control mode" mode, where I can see my IMEI code. I can't get windows or linux to recognize my phone. I've tried several drivers, but no luck getting my laptop recognize my phone. I have also tried couple of tutorials to solve this problem, but the main problem seems to be that I can't get my laptop to recognize my phone.
Is there anything I could do or should I just buy a new phone?
Hi Jutei,
What led to this bricking? Were you trying to install a ROM? Which ROM was it? Was it a wrong variant? Please be specific as to what you did to brick it..
Also, some people have seen success by installing this driver. Are you familiar with ADB?

Hi deathbytalkshow!
I ended up to this stage by rooting with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887) and trying to flash with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/rom-xenonhd-d802-t3036576).
First I wiped data and cache. Then rooted and it went trough with no problems. I tried to flash with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager. It booted to recovery and started flashing. Soon it said that flashing failed and after reboot I found myself in this bootloop.
Hope this helps someone to help me.
Try this:
1. Turn phone off.
2. Press POWER+VOL DOWN
3. When LG Logo appears, immediately release POWER+VOL and press and hold VOL UP+VOL DOWN

Hi, I tried this and got to the factory reset window. It started to do reset, but pretty soon it booted and went back to bootloop. So this didn't help. I'll try those ADB drivers today.
Hi, tried adb drivers, but no luck. My laptop still doesn't recognize my phone. USB gives power, but beside that windows doesn't seems to notice that my device is plugged. Is there anything else I could try?
so you didnt make a backup before flashing? what recovery did you flash? i bricked my phone with rom manager before and will never use it again but i had a backup and was still able to get it to eventually boot into twrp to restore.

Yeah, I was stupid enough not to backup. The recovery was the stock one. Is that where I went wrong? Should I've had custom recovery installed?

I turned usb-debugging was on before phone got bricked. I think the phone should be found somehow on computer. For example this fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48765620#post48765620) needs Linux to recognize the phone, but I can't even do that. I guess the problem here is that my phone won't enter the download mode. I'm going to try with couple of different computers when I get back home from my holidays.
I also found another fix to try. I have to drain the battery and after a little re-charge I should be able to enter the download mode. I'm trying this next.
yes thats where you made your mistake. that also makes me think download mode wont work period, but im not positive. im surprised rom manager even tried to flash anything without a recovery. thats why i dont use apps like that anymore because you wouldnt of been able to **** it up that bad on your own. so you said you tried the key combo to take you to the factory restore? if you didnt flash a recovery then i would think you could get that to work. did you look into lg's flash tool? maybe that will somehow read it. i remember seeing a post in the general forum about a way to take the phone apart and short the chip out but ive never had to actually read it so i couldnt tell you whats all involved. sorry bout your phone.

Well, I just got myself in the same boat.
The phone will show the LG Logo then the security error and shut down. When plugged in with a USB to the PC it will just reboot.
Nothing is showing in Device Manager either. I done the same in the stock recovery and I tried to Side load CM12 it failed and straight into this loop.
I got nothing now. I just done see how shorting circuits will fix the issue when it's just software. Absolute nightmare as the 12 months warranty has gone.
I tried to do a hard reset and I get the android man saying its working then it shuts down and starts the error again. I'm unable to get in the Download Mode either and I'm stuck
I don't know what to do now. The flash and Support tool will not recognize the phone.
jfletch86, I tried LG Flash Tool, but the problem is that it just says no devices found. Same problem with fix I linked, I can't do anything to my phone if my laptop doesn't find it. I'm beginnig to loose hope

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that you are in the same boat. Symptoms are the same. It seems that we have bricked our phones pretty badly. Hopefully someone comes up with fix that works. Problem is that anyone wise enough to fix this isn't stupid enough to end up this stage.
I'm hoping the same too. I just don't know why it wont allow me to do anything.
I have a nexus 4 and I've never had a problem.
I am getting nothing when plugged into my PC and its like the phone is turning on and off in the boot loop and the lg symbol.
I get the hard reset menu but the computer still doesn't recognise.
I just feel sick at the moment !!

Download your stock system from sammobile.com and flash it through ODIN. Your files on the internal memory may disappear when doing this.
If it doesn't work afterwards, try the same again with an attached PIT file for the phone:

WARNING: Flashing with an attached .pit file will format your phone. Do it with caution!

Hey guys,
So recently I got a SM-G928X Live Demo Unit. I just read that flashing G928F firmware is completely fine and so I did aaaaand well, I am stuck in recover. Forgot to flash a custom recovery, also the phone has Factory Reset Protection so I am here with:
Android Recovery
MMB29K.G928FXXU2BPB6
samsung/zenbltexx/zenlte
6.0.1/MMB29K/G928FXXU2BPB6
user/release-keys
volume up/down and power
____________________
then goes normal recovery options
and at the bottom of the screen, there's
Supported API: 3
dm-verity verification failed...
Need to check DRK first...
Anyway I can't get to download mode, cant wipe data, cant flash from ADB/SD Card. When connected to PC no software recognises the device so yeah, that's a great situation to be in, right?
So if any of you have any idea how to make this thingy work again, I'm up for anything.
Thanks

Thing is there is this FRP thing and since I flashed a stock ROM it somehow blocks it from reseting the phone and even if I try to boot to download mode thru the button comb or thru the recovery, it just resets the phone and then boots to recovery immediately. Also this thing is preventing me from flashing anything from the SD card or ADB.

The guys were avoiding this issue by flashing the firmware. Since you can't boot into DL mode, that's odd. Maybe smart switch(or whatever it's name) helps. As far as i remember this lock is related with ''OEM Unlock'' in Settings » Developer options. Also there were some tricks around which you should research it at xda or youtube. Good luck.

I had no problem getting into DL mode but then I flashed the stock firmaware for G928F because I found here on XDA that it is completely fine flashing it onto G928X and since then it just boots to recovery and everything else just doesnt work. Pitty. Will try the USB JIG thing and will see..

SM-G950F won't boot, hard bricked?

I had to reboot my device due to problems with my speaker. Now i'm not able to boot anymore.
I'm only able to get into ODIN Mode, and flashing new FW or TWRP does nothing. It'll flash correctly, but as soon as it sends the reboot command the device powers off and does not boot, and no, it does not reach the "Galaxy s8, powered by android screen".
It does not want to power on, and only responds to the odin button combo, can't boot into recovery either since nothing works.
I was running the latest version of Renovate Ice if that matters.
I've searched trough some other threads, but it seems like i'm the only one that's having this problem.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Edit 1: I've tried flashing both AQK7 and AQG5. Both flash fine, but as soon as odin sends the reboot command to my phone, it turns off and does not turn on.
Auto Reboot is ticked. Same goes for any version of TWRP, it will flash, but when it has to reboot the device turns off and does not turn on. There's nothing on the screen, its completely black and the only thing that does work is Download Mode. I've also tried ereasing nand, and repartitioning storage. Both seem to have 0 effect. As stated in one of my replies, i was running the latest build of renovate-ice with magisk, no other mods, or themes installed.
Im a bit confused - you can only boot into download mode (not into twrp?) and the phone is in bootloop? Have you flashed anything (mod?) before or activated a substratum theme which could cause this?
The only thing I can think of is a) you delete in twrp file manager the corrupted file, if there is something like this or b) a twrp restore from a backup. Boot into download mode and then do not press vol up to go into odin mode but press vol down to reboot - then immediately press the combo for twrp and you will get to the recovery. This helped my s8 many times when I was in a bootloop and couldnt boot up twrp

Thanks for the reply! Other than using the Renovate-Ice rom, and running magisk the thing was pretty much stock. wasn't messing around in twrp either. Its not stuck in a bootloop either, it just refuses to do anything other than go in and out of DL mode. The phone does not respond to any button imputs other than DL mode. As stated in the OP it does not boot at all, just a black screen. i've already tried to reflash a stock FW and TWRP, but that does not seem to work...
try the method I did - this is the last thing I could think of, before reflash the whole phone with odin

Doesn't work sadly, but thanks for the help anyways!
but you havent installed Viper4Arise or anything like that?
Because of this my speaker also stopped working a few weeks ago
if you can get into download mode then get into download mode and leave phone, then download samsung smart switch for your pc (older version like 4.1.17022_20 from here http://www.filehorse.com/download-samsung-smart-switch/29268/ that allows phone based recovery), once installed open it, then click on more at top right, (do not update the software if you get a prompt) select emergency device recovery...., then click on right tab (device initialisation) and fill in your phone details etc., connect your phone (in download mode) and follow the process, maybe it works, you'll need to root and install TWRP again but thats no big issue.

I've tried this just now, and it still gives me the same result, it goes trough the process, but as soon as it has to reboot it doesn't boot anymore.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
