[Q] Encryption failed, device bricked - AT&T LG Optimus G

Help!! I was attempting to encrypt my device when the process failed. Optimus G boots up and shows "Encryption unsuccessful". It gives me a button to tap to Reset phone and the button responds to tap but the device never resets. I've attempted to reset using Power and Vol down but as soon as I press power key and it shows confirmed, it seems to freeze the phone again. I have to press and hold power key to get it to reboot.
Any suggestions?

You should still be able to get to the Android recovery and do a factory reset.

I figured that's maybe what I've been missing. What are the steps to enter the stock recovery? I was only aware of PWR + Vol Down keys as an alt reset.

Turn it off then hold PWR + up to get to the bootloader then hit vol down twice (to select Recovery Mode since the menu is actually hidden) and hit the power button to select it.

I think I need to have bootloader unlocked or have run freegee, i haven't done either so i still can't access the recovery.

Right. Sorry, I assumed you had CWM (with bootloader unlocked) installed. You can always use LGNPST, though I'm not sure if you need to have an unlocked bootloader. I'm sure another forum member can better assist you.

Since you're stock, maybe you can get it replaced via warranty? It failed using a standard menu item, shouldn't be an issue.

Correct, call tech support or go into a store, worst case scenario its def a software iss covered under device warranty.

I had this issue as well. I used a different stock rom and it almost happened too. I just held the down and power button until I got the message to factory reset message. I did that and now i'm back to stock.

Forget what I said

If on stock, press Power+Vol Dwn, power, power yo accept. That does a stock reset.

Press Vol + once enter recovery
Press Vol - twice to select data/factory reset
Press power button to enter, then vol - to select yes to confirm reset.

What did you do before hand. Were you doing anything different or you just turn it off and on. And it did it on its own?

Flashing fastboot will restore to stock rom. Do this at your own risk, though I have flash fastboot files with no problems there's always some risk involved.
Charge your battery to full before flashing.

Hard to think that just a game would cause that to happen, but weirder things have happened...
I found this:
How to boot device into Safe Mode.
1. Press and hold the Volume - button and power button (while device is on).
2. When screen turns black release the power button, but remain holding the Volume - button.
Device should boot into safe mode.
If this works for you, then you should be able to boot the tablet with just the preinstalled apps available and then you should be able to uninstall the game in question and reboot normally.

Can you navigate to the Recovery option there? If so, your factory reset option should be there. I still think it would be able to boot into Safe Mode so you can just uninstall the offending app and not lose your data. But anyway, if those options don't work, you could try grabbing an update zip from Asus and see if applying that will get it going again.

What app did you install, by the way, so others might be warned against using it to avoid this situation...?

Typically, in stock recoveries, when you see the Android guy there's usually a button combo to get the commands for reboot, reset, update, etc to pop up. Usually this would be like hitting the Volume keys together or some combo of Volume and Power buttons. Unfortunately, there isn't that much info about this particular Asus tablet as the TF300 and TF700 that I am more familiar with, so can't tell you with absolutely certainy how to do it.

Mash volume up and down and power when in recovery.
The options are there (I know as I have the same tab) but I can't remember the combination
You can try and sideload the zip via recovery (I couldn't get ghat to work, got the same error)

Boot to twrp recovery from powerup?

Hi, I seen videos of people booting to custom recovery by powering up their phone, and then going to the reset data screen and pressing yes before going to the recovery. But for whatever reason this process doesn't work for me, and I never seen it done on a Verizon G3 model. I'm talking about booting to recovery by holding volume up and then letting go and pressing it once again.
When I try to boot to recovery by powering up my phone, I never get to the "reset data" screen, and instead I get to a LG themed recovery screen but it has no android recovery logo on it. The only way for me to get to TWRP recovery is by going to TiBu and from there choosing reboot to recovery, but that requires me to be able to boot onto Android.
Is there a way to boot to custom recovery on the LG G3 without doing it from Android?

Oops, I had that mixed up, it is indeed power+ volume down (I thought I knew what the method is so I didn't say power button earlier). However, I don't see the reset data screen, I go directly to a "system recovery" screen with the options to continue power up, safe mode, fectory reset, wipe cache, and power down. I'm not sure what to do to get to TWRP. Is this how all Verizon G3s work or is it just my phone?

You missed the part at the end of the op where he says he needs to do it at power up. My guess is he can't get into the os because of a bootloop.

Strange bootloop

I have a H900 and something weird happened. I've been rooted for a few months now with no real problems. Was listening to music the other day then my phone randomly restarted and got stuck in a bootloop. First thing I did was flash the root tot again but still stuck in a loop. Then I flashed the stock at&t tot and still the same problem. I'm not sure what to do.
Very strange
After flashing both .tot you have restored all partitions so should eliminate the issue
Try removing sdcard and sim, only things that stayed the same after flash
If this doesn't help (which is unlikely) then you may be toast... ?

Take out battery then put it in. Press POWER + VOL DOWN buttons. When you see LG logo release the POWER button (while still holding VOL DOWN) and press POWER button again.
You should see a screen which is asking you if you want to factory reset your phone.

LG G5 can't boot into recovery.

Hey everyone (Again),
So i managed to unlock the bootloader and everything went smoothly but I flashed my recovery i can't get into it now it comes up with an error message everytime i try to get into recovery it says ' Your software cannot be checked for corruption' any way to get rid of this or do i have to re- lock the bootloader just to fix it and get recovery working.
Thanks again.
Anyone?

That's not an error message, that's the message you'll see every bit if you unlock the bootloader. Do NOT relock your bootloader after installing custom recovery. Also to get into recovery (provided you installed it correctly and it wasn't erased after it booted info Android) is to turn your phone off (or pull battery) and then hold volume down & power button, one you see the LG logo let go of the power button only (still hold volume down) for about 1 second and then press the power button again and hope (never let go of volume down). It will ask you if you want to reset your phone, select yes two times and you will enter TWRP. If it actually resets your phone, TWRP isn't installed. Usually after installing TWRP you need to pull battery then use above method to boot into recovery, mount system partition and use TWRP file manner to delete come named "recovery from boot.p". You can also go ahead and install SuperSU or magisk (use magisk if you need to be able to pass safety net). Hopefully this helps you, also next time please include what model phone you have and what steps exactly you did as it's easier for others to attempt to help you.
Mines a H850 running nougat as well but thats the only thing it wont boot to recovery because when i hold down the volume down button and the power button the lg logo shows up but then after 4 seconds that google message will pop up and that gets in the way of doing the method to get onto recovery thats my problem

You have to follow exactly what I posted earlier. If you do that, it will show the factory reset screen which is you have TWRP installed, it will not into TWRP.
1) Power off phone
2) Press and hold volume down (do not let go until you see factory reset screen)
3) Press and hold power button, when you see LG logo, let go of power button for 1 second and then press and hold again.
If you do not follow step 3, you'll never be able to boot to recovery using button combo, it will just go to that message and then boot into Android.

Thanks for that! I got it working cheers
I'm actually having a similar issue too.
To clarify, I'm using a LG G5 (h830 variant) that is running resurrection remix.
I remember getting into recovery just to flash the updated modem and bootloader zips so I can fix the issue with powering off the device.
Now I noticed after doing that, I cannot get into recovery either with rebooting or with the button combo.
Thankfully I am rooted with magisk and this is probably the first time that I encountered this issue.
I don't want to further risk anything (because my phone is set up and don't want to lose any data) but would flashing twrp through the official app work just fine?

I know this is old,Just wanted to say thank it worked for me...
Been a while since I used LG and never with official bootloader unlock so I was thrown off by resetting to recovery as at first i never had the lg screen just the bootloader warning start
For those T-Mo G5 (H830) with unlocked bootloader, you will not see any LG logo. Once you see the lcd backlight comes on, immediately release the power button and press it again, all the while holding down the vol down button.
When you see the bootloader unlocked phone is unsafe msg by LG on the screen, it will already be too late and past the stage where you can boot to recovery. Simply power down and redo in that case.
(Needed to do the above as the latest Magisk 20.0 broke root and adb on H830, thus there was no way to get into recovery other than using the physical buttons. The Magisk Canary version of 20.1 works though.)
