Hello guys.
I have an LG L5 (E610) that is having a very strange behavior.
It started by throwing a lot of ANR with different applications (Google Play Store, Play Services, Facebook, and others).
So, seeing this, I decided to do a factory reset. After reboot, what is my surprise that I see everything as I had before. All the applications, all the data, everything.
With this, I tried almost everything at the moment. And by saying that, I mean:
- Tried to follow the key combination for the recovery, it goes to recovery, I see the Android and some progress bar moving, but after the reboot, the system remains with no change;
- When on the system, I uninstall applications, they seem to be uninstalled, but after a reboot all the applications are back.
- Tried to root the phone with more than one process, no success. I cannot install any application. Not via play store, not via adb install, there is no way;
- Tried to flash a recovery img, to try to clean cache partition from there, no luck. From Fastboot it says everything went well, but when I reboot, everything is the same;
- In fastboot, I tried to erase cache and userdate partitions, no luck. When I try, i have a message saying "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))". This happens with all the partitions. I even tried to erase the system partition, and I have the same response. Strange thing is that after this error, the phone reboots and goes directly to the system;
- Tried with KDZ images and tools to install different versions, I receive errors during the deployment and at the end the phone reboots. Again, the same system is installed as before. No changes.
As of now, I was trying to understand if there is any problem with the internal flash system. Maybe it is corrupted and is causing all these issues.
The thing is, as the phone is not rooted, I cannot launch a e2fsck to the maybe faulty mmcblk0pXX
The phone has a stock ROM based on Android 4.0.3 (build IML74K / LG-E610-V10e-JUN-30-2012)
I am out of ideas, I've looked around here at XDA, Google and I have no other ideas to try.
Does anyone have another suggestion?
Is there something else I can do to try to make the phone live again?
Any help someone can provide will be very much appreciated..
Now this is what I call a coincidence.
About 2 years ago, a friend of mine asked me for help with her E610. Almost all actions were giving us ANRs. Whatever you do, i.e. unsinstall, install, change, delete... after reboot/reset were all there, even notifications! Tried KDZ updater, and, while the update was OK without signs of errors or so, after reboot - nothing, everything was like before. After trying to find a solutions by hundreds of ways, with adb and fastboot commands (all partitions&folders were locked, no read, no write, and you can't see any file, tried root to no avail), L5 got bricked. She already got a new phone and this LG was laying there without any use.
Three days ago I decided to try again, with no hope tbh No screen, no vibration, nothing, apparently dead. But, I could install Qualcomm drivers and my Windows can see it in download mode. I think that the only way is to flash the phone with LGFlashTool and using COM port. I already extracted *.dz from *.kdz but I need the dll for FlashTool. Found 2 or 3 webs with this dll, but you need a 100 bucks subscription :crying: If anyone can upload that dll I'd be very happy to try to flash this phone I'm really big n00b in this, just a plain phone user, nothing more, so don't blame me if I said something wrong
Many thanks in advance.
same problem
Hello! Same problem...
My L5 is making me crazy... It has CyanogenMod 10 nighlty. A friend of mine was using it and he tried to install the GAPPS after he did a factory reset. I have no idea what guide he used but it got soft bricked... It's constantly showing a "stopped working" message and after a while reboots by itself.
I tried to do a factory reset but it always returns to the same point, same apps installed, everything like the reset never happened. I even used CWM to reset it and it allways goes back to the same recovery point.
After a while I decided to flash a stock room but here's the problem: I can't get into emergency mode.
After reading ALL post about it I found that there's at least three ways of entering EM, (1) down VOL and plug in usb cable without battery; (2) down+up VOL and plug in usb; (3) down+up VOL + power botton.
Conclusions:
(1) - gives me a screen full of code like a command line
(2) - White screen
(3) - White screen
I've read ALL the unbrinking post on the internet, including xda, and none of them helped.
The KDZ Updater never recognizes the phone. I installed all the drivers but everytime I plug in the phone it installes the same LGE MTP drive...
Can anyone help, please?!
How to enter Emergency mode? How to flash another rom?
Hello,
I am writing this thread for a friend of mine. He owns a Z1 - stock ROM, locked bootloader.
Today it started looping and I tried to fix it (telling him over a chat what to do). It goes through the bootanimation and then dies or while optimizing apps, or while starting them.
What we tried:
1) Wipe cache
2) Factory reset
3) adb sideload the current official CM onto it
Nothing helped, the error stays the same. We also tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64458076&postcount=4 but it never really recognised the phone (despite using the correct drivers and following the procedure) - it did not appear under ports (Windows 10?).
Is there any other way to unlock this goddamn phone? My Androids so far had an easily unlockable bootloader via fastboot. This would have, too, but in order to unlock the bootloader via fastboot you first have to allow this in the developer settings - which we can not reach due to the loop.
If you know some way to get a working ROM onto it, we would be very happy. In the end we will end up unlocking the bootloader and flashing another Recovery and ROM anyway. We only need some way to achieve this. I expect the way to do this will be the QPST thingy. Any ideas why it did not recognise the phone? He does not own a PC with another OS than Win10...
Thanks in advance for your help,
Moritz
EDIT: Looks like the sideload did work - after tens of reboots it finally succeeded and bootet straight into the ROM.
Took a lot of attempts, strangely.
Proceeding to unlock it
Mine does the same boot loop on CM13. After tons of different tries to fix it, i think it could have something to do with my fingerprint sensor which is not working anymore.
Maybe there is some kind of hardware malfunction and android crashes while initializing that piece of hardware.
Hi, I spotted a big problem today.
After getting installed my cloudy g2 with dorimanx kernel and some tweaks I decided to reflash those in cause of that I thought I regret installing one of the mods which I prepared to install before. I made factory reset and installed stuff, after this my phone boot loops, no entering recovery mode and also fast boot mode is starting with those white titles, not normally. I mean that is showing Fastboot mode started etc.
The biggest problem is that my computer is ain't recognizing my phone in device manager and also in disk manager I can't see this disk with many partitions. Because of that all two tutorials which were made for getting out of that brick, I mean no recovery, no download mode demanding to get device in disk manager or see this device in device manager as qualcomm or qhsusb_bulk I can't do nothing.
Also they want to get some of files included into stock firmware depending on that which version I had before brick, there is next problem because I had cloudy.
I would be grateful if someone can help me, thanks in advance.
I have tried searching, nothing has recovered it yet. In attempt to do this https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72501544&postcount=25
I got to step 11, but didn't check fc well, and didn't have TWRP installed! Any hope?
I get a Battery ? on battery out. It makes a device driver connection and loads drivers, but doesn't seem to get into download or recovery. No connection on ADB, or Fastboot with my drivers that I've tried. The LGMobile Support Tool gives a battery or download error, and I've used another Leon to check it's 100% charged. I made the backups as stated in the howto above, but can't connect to do a restore. I've got pretty far with the disconnect after 5 seconds to bypass the battery check, but still nothing flashed. I may have tried more options to flash and nothing has worked, please ask to check if I've tried it already. My main reason for this attempt was to free up size for apps, and to utilize the SD card memory more effectively. I have not seen a menu or screen image except what I've mentioned.
So, basically I will make this short as possible
Due to some problems I had to sell my G6 Plus (Brazilian -8 model) but it was on a custom rom, and did the most dumb thing that I could do: Reflashing pure stock and locking it, I've used the LMSA tool then relocked in Fastboot, the thing is some files were corrupt and when locked, it doesn't boot up anymore, as i still had hope for it, I tried to LSMA again, but it doesnt recognize anymore, as the lock flag is now "Flashing_Locked", flashing manually via Fastboot gives a error related to the lock flag (also LSMA resets the device, so using my unlock key asks to enable OEM Unlock at settings, a impossible thing when OS is broken) , then searched for some solutions, first it was booting a Boot.img file from the last stock, which was the flashed one, it bootloops, then tried something on the recovery that works, but is the stock one and pretty limited, so the logical thing to do is flashing a OTA file, but only works for old versions that requires one version before the target one, so its a no go. The last thing i tried to do is booting TWRP, but it gets stuck on a red warning that indicates that system is corrupt. Then the last hope was EDL Mode, and thats the point where i want to go, i've bought a EDL Cable that's basically a green and black wire thing used on most Qualcomm based Redmi/Xiaomi devices, but it automatically boots to fastboot, so I need help to get EDL Test Points for this device, im with access to the board, i just need the right Pads to short-circuit it and blankflash it, so i can finally get it to work like normal again.

Any help is important, I'm sorry for some typos, english isnt my main language considering i didnt use translate
and please don't come with instructions like "have you tried LSMA?, try booting up the device and select oem unlock" because its clear that it doesnt work.
