[Q]Can I fix my soft-bricked LG Optimus Fuel - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was messing with my old tracfone and trying to install a custom ROM on it. I pressed wipe on TWRP and selected advance wipe and selected everything for factory defaults. After this, I restarted and my phone is stuck on the LG logo and won't go past it. I can't even get back into TWRP by spamming the volume up button. I also have a backup image, but what's the point if I can't access TWRP? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Wipe doesn't restore factory defaults, it removes everything. If you wiped system partition there's no Android on your phone, thus no system to boot. If that's the case, you can try to reflash twrp or install original firmware

I'm not sure how to reflash TWRP because I used android terminal to install it.

If so, you need a PC, if it's Windows then download this tool - it's a system-wide fastboot that lets you flash software on your phone. It should also download drivers.
If everything goes OK, boot your phone into bootloader (you need to find the right key combination to do that, could be (phone off) power button+ volume down held for about 5-10 seconds, but I don't really know how it's like with this particular phone).
Go to the folder where you've got your TWRP, hold shift and press right mouse button. From context menu choose "open command window here"
In command window enter:
Code:
fastboot devices
if it returns your phones serial number it's OK, if it doesn't - you probably don't have proper drivers so look for them
If everything is OK enter:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery your-twrp-image-name.img
If this step is OK you can reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
In the bootloader there should be an option to enter recovery mode which is now TWRP. From there you can flash some ROM.
Alternatively you can get ffactory firmware and flash it with fastboot (that's actually a better option to start with).
I hope that helps

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately, I think that the phone is junk. My phone can't get into boot-loader for whatever reason, and I heard some people post that the phone was designed to make the boot-loader non-accessible. I already tried to flash it with ADB while it starts up, but no device is detected (no USB debugging I guess). So unless I can flash the phone while It's on the LG logo, I can't do nothing.

So, I've unlocked my bootloader, and I just wanted to get rid of this bloatware. Do I just need to flash the recovery from adb then flash the superuser .zip from recovery?

Fastboot the recovery and then install a custom ROM. Since you've already wiped out your ability to recieve OTA you may as well go for something a bit better than ASUS stock + su.
This guide I prepared should be of assistance:
----
* Install ADB and Fastboot onto your system, as well as the universal USB naked driver which you can find on this forum.
* Search for DotTech install ADB and Fastboot - follow this guide, it's probably the easiest way to get a working fastboot and ADB environment up and running.
* Enable USB debugging on the tablet under developer options.
* Set up the universal driver, you'll need to reboot your TF201 and hold the POWER and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see some text in the top corner. Do NOT press volume up to go into Recovery Image mode or you'll just walk into a dead end.
* Shortly after you'll see three icons, press volume down ONCE and then volume UP once, the USB icon in the middle should be highlighted and you should see text saying "Entering Fastboot Protocol" or similar.
* Plug the USB cable into the tab and the PC, test whether you have a working fastboot install by typing fastboot -i 0x0b05 reboot, if your tablet reboots without you touching it, then you've got working fastboot access. Remove the cable, reboot to fastboot mode as described above.
* Meantime, download openrecovery-twrp-2.1.3-tf201.blob from the team win site, and stuff it in the same directory that you set up Fastboot/ADB, rename it to twrp.blob. Plug your tablet back in and then issue the command fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash recovery twrp.blob , if this goes to plan you'll see a couple of lines of text on the command window which will tell you that it's been successfully flashed in. YOU STILL DO NOT HAVE ROOT THOUGH, SO NO SILLY STUFF
* Finally, download the ROM of your choice, place it in the base /sdcard directory, then reboot the tab and hold POWER and VOLUME DOWN, when you see the text, this time hit VOLUME UP, and you'll be sent into the team win recovery suite, at this point you can wipe and flash the newly prepared ROM as per normal.

Hope this helps.

[GUIDE][FIX][L9 P760] Fix "Security Error"

Hello, first post and fisrst tutorial here.
So here I want to show you how you can restore completely died LG p760(or his brothers p765/p768/p769) showing nothing or just LG Logo and so well known "Security Error", or boot loop problems.
The goal is to flash stock recovery, x-loader and u-boot and to unlock the bootloader(u-boot), so it can boot Clockworkmod or TWRP recovery.
First of all you'll need a computer(preferably Win7/8), an died phone , some drivers on the computer and fastboot on the phone. Let's start.
I'm not responsible for any damage to your device made during this guide. You can continue at YOUR OWN RISK.
Please READ IT before taking any actions on your phone!
1. Get fastboot on the phone. How? You can see here and here, or search the internet. There is a driver package, install them following the instructions.
2. After you inserted phone, installed drivers, etc. start the fastboot loader script(I prefer Lelus's one, i'ts more option-rich), and select one option for ICS x-loader and u-boot for your phone. Follow the instructions, it may take 2 or 3 tries before the drivers are correctly installed. Start again if the drivers are not correctly installed.
3. Copy the bin folder that is inside the fastboot files folder in C:, press winkey+R, type cmd and press OK.
Then copy everything from v20c_00 folder inside the C:\bin\ folder, it's in attachments in the end.
Here is the time to say that this files are for p760 only, you can find x-loader, u-boot and stock recovery for you model from internet, or here in the forums. I flashed also the boot.img, but don't think it's necessary for the completion of the process. You can also extract the .img files from stock .KDZ rom with this tool here, thanks to user kuma82. In the archive is the tutorial how to make x-loader.img, it's easy.
Let's continue.
Type in:
Code:
cd C:\bin
Check if the phone is in fastboot mode with this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
It must show something like:
Code:
1234567890 fastboot
If not, check that you are in the correct folder(C:\bin\), go and check drivers(no yellow marks or unknown devices), read the instructions again.
Then after you copied the files from archive, or files that you extracted from your stock rom, type in, or copy and paste into the cmd window:
Code:
fastboot erase x-loader
fastboot erase u-boot
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot flash x-loader 0-x-loader.img
fastboot flash u-boot 1-u-boot.img
fastboot flash boot 2-boot.img
fastboot flash recovery 3-recovery.img
You must be fast, because after 30-60 seconds(don't know exactly) of inactivity, the phone will exit the service mode it is in and try to boot. Nothing bad happened, just load fastboot again and repeat the above fastboot commands.
After all the commands are completed without any errors, plug out usb, plug out battery, put the battery in, start the phone. The "Security Error" message MUST be gone. If it's not, probably your recovery is wrong, flash recovery again, if not, try with other recovery. This is working on P760, at least on mine. Here the S/W Update mode must also work like a charm, and you can try with some KDZ updaters, but that's not for this tutorial.
4. Now for step 4 we will need the phone in Recovery Mode. With phone turned off and battery inserted, press VOL_UP+HOME+POWER, when LG logo shows, release POWER and hold other two while the LG Recovery Mode show up. The phone must go straight into recovery, not bootlooping or showing "Security Error". If this happens, probably you recovery or u-boot is wrong.
Now put the usb into the phone and install the drivers from usb_drv_windows folder that is in the fastboot archive.
5. Type into cmd window:
Code:
adb devices
It must show something like:
Code:
1234567890 recovery
If not, you know..
Then we will unlock the bootloader with this command:
Code:
adb oem-unlock
The phone will restart, don't touch nothing. You'll see screen with info on what to do. Guess what..? We must press the VOL_UP button to confirm that we want to UNLOCK the bootloader, so it can load unsigned recoveries like CWM or TWRP and not to show the annoying "Security Error".
6. The phone will go into fastboot mode itself, you must install the drivers, again from the folder in the archive.
Now we'll flash CWM recovery with the help of fastboot. Copy the recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.9-p760 or recovery that is for your model to C:\bin\ folder.
Write:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.9-p760.img
fastboot reboot
The phone will reboot, and hopefully you will not see "Security Error" error message. Now try to boot into recovery - pull the battery out, the usb cable, put battery in, and hold down VOL_UP+HOME+POWER, you know..
7. If everything is successfull you phone will load the recovery and you will be able to load nandroid backup or stock update.zip or CyanogenMod on your phone. Don't forget to wipe cache/data and dalvik's cache. From here you can backup your data or do whatever you want.
If your phone is not totally bricked, and if you are lucky enough you can continue from step 4(if you have recovery in your phone and it's still loading).

Newly rooted Moto G4 cannot enter bootloader or recovery, please help!

I am very new to this, I rooted my Moto G4 and now I need to download SUHide in order to play Pokemon Go. When I try to enter recovery via my fastboot/abd folder I get a < waiting for any device > message. When I hold down the power + volume down button my phone just turns on as normal without entering bootloader even though my bootloader is unlocked. I tried downloading an app that loads recovery for me but when I tried that I got a "no command" screen with a little green robot.
From what I've read, it's possible I didn't flash my trwp properly? I don't know how this is possible since I just rooted my phone. I would appreciate some help, I'm afraid to take any random guesses at the risk of ruining my phone. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious or not giving enough info, I'm not very tech savvy.

Try power plus volume up button to go to fastboot mode.
If it not working then connect your android to pc and enable adb. Type "adb devices" enter then type "adb reboot bootloader" and enter. It boots your android in fastboot mode.
If adb commands not working then install adb and fastboot drivers and try again.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
In most devices, volume up + power boots up the recovery options, volume down + power boots the device into fastboot mode (volume buttons first plus power, pressing power button first would boot the device normally).

How did you install the custom recovery? Try flashing the recovery.img again (I'm guessing, since you have root, that you did not "flash" (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) TWRP but just "boot" (fastboot boot recovery.img) it and installed SuperSU).

Okay, so that did work, and I was able to enter fastboot mode. However, once I scrolled down to "recovery mode" and tried to enter, I got the same "no command" screen.

I used the official moto g4 root guide on this website to root my phone and I'm pretty sure I booted, not flashed, the recovery img (mine is named twrp-3.0.2-0-athene). So, I tried using the command you provided to flash the recovery img and I got a < waiting for any device > message in the command prompt. My phone is plugged in and my recovery img is in the adb / fastboot folder. Any idea what this means? Thank you for the help guys
edit: If it helps to know this, my phone has usb debugging enabled and it is recognized by my pc. I type adb devices and my moto g4 serial number does indeed show up.

If you are trying to flash twrp recovery on your android then rename your twrp to recovery.
Boot your android in fastboot mode,
Navigate to folder that you have recovery. Press shift and right click and click on open command here and type "fastboot devices" and enter
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
It flash your recovery to your android.

Did all that, getting:
(bootloader) slot-count: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) slot-suffixes: not found
(bootloader) has-slot:recovery: not found
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
Also, per the suggestion of other users on these forums, I tried to hold down power and press volume up during the "no command" screen after attempting to enter recovery. That sent me into Android Recovery but it's not the twrp platform I used when originally rooting my phone.
How did you unlock the bootloader? have you tried: fastboot oem unlock?
You need to "allow oem unlocking" on developer options (which I guess you already did). Then reboot in bootloader: (a) adb reboot bootloader. In fastboot, you need to unlock the bootloader first: (b) fastboot oem unlock (or unlock-go). Then you can try to flash that recovery.img: (c) fastboot flash recovery "name of the file.img"
edit: fastboot oem unlock restores the device to factory settings. You need to configure and enable again "usb debugging" and "oem unlocking" (which are disabled by default). You can then proceed to fastboot flash

Unrooting Swift 2x

Hi guys,
So I rooted my swift 2x but now I want to unroot it so I can use baking apps. Trouble is I'm having difficulty unrooting.
My method for root was
> Unlock bootloader
> Install TWRP
> Install Supersu
But now I can't unroot. I've tried unrooting via the supersu app but on one try it errored out and nothing changed and on another try when the phone rebooted it got stuck on the white wileyfox screen.
I've also tried to install the reocer image from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/swift-2/how-to/marmite-android-7-1-1-tos118c-fastboot-t3605101 via twrp but then once I reboot after installation from TWRP it gets stuck on the white wileyfox screen after seeing messages that the device is corrupt on a previous screen.
What can I do to unroot?
Thanks!
Return to stock via fastboot... it will fix everything. I had to leave LineageOS because nothing I tried would allow me to use my Banking app now they've really tightened security, thanks to Google's CTS. Shame.
(LOL on the "baking app")
EDIT: This Thread has all the files except the latest. Flash TOS319I and let the phone OTA to TOS373J.
Since you have already done this I thought maybe you might be able to help me with an issue I am having
From your thread I have used the first part of the following thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72827221&postcount=7 - to fastboot "Android_7.1.2_Wileyfox_Swift2_2017_09_07 TOS249H - Signed Fastboot" -
Everything went as it should have (or so it appeared) but when I went to reboot, the new Wiley Fox logo appeared and then looped system errors i.e. "Unfortunately, system UI has stopped" , Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped etc
Can you give any insight as to my next move please? Would appreciate a noob response

Sounds like a problem easily fixed by doing a factory reset, have you tried that?
Just went today to try and factory reset through adb but now there is an "error:no devices found" - exactly the same conditions as yesterday

Hmm, is USB debugging on?
USB debugging is needed for adb commands. This setting you find in developer settings and to find and access developer settings you need to tap the version/build number 7 times.
How to Enable USB Debugging Mode on Android <- Check the bottom one #4
Once you do an adb command your phone may prompt you with a connection to pc message to confirm, go ahead and confirm it and do the adb command again.
But.. you need only to get into recovery mode and from there you select and confirm "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition". You don't have to do an adb command.
https://www.hardreset.info/devices/wileyfox/wileyfox-swift-2-plus/recovery-mode/ <- I am actually not 100% sure if 5 and 6 are accurate but anyhow this should give you good enough idea on how to access the recovery mode. If in case you not already know this.
All your data will be wiped, make sure to do backup of things you don't want to lose.
May aswell also refer you to my post here, it's just an easy way of doing a fastboot flash.

I flashed stock via fastboot - But it got stuck on Wiley fox logo with process com.android.phone has stopped etc - hence it is not possible to go into the phone and turn on USB debugging, but it was on before I started the process - and I cant really do anything to the phone until I am able to get the PC to recognise the phone again

oh I see, and you've tried factory reset and cache wipe from recovery?
That guide I linked to says volume up + power button but I belive it actually is volume down + power button that needs to be pressed, like this. Try both ways, you don't need connection to pc for booting into recovery mode.
But this is different if you have bootloader unlocked, with bootloader unlocked you will be greeted with this (making use of warj04's pic) when you power on your device.
At this screen you press the volume buttons to change boot option from "Start" to "Recovery". Press power button to confirm boot into recovery and your device will reboot and boot into recovery.
This screen will appear a second time before booting into recovery but you need not do anything else, wait 5 seconds or press power button to start boot.

I have the bootloader unlocked and it behaves how you have described it but when I try and go into recovery from the options menu (power + volume down) it momentarily goes to a Wiley fox screen, then the loader (the image you added above), and then for a split second the green robot, then the screen blacks-out altogether. From the options menu I can also go to fastboot which also gives me the option to go into recovery but the same sequence starts as described before - recovery appears to be unavailable?

Yea by now I recommend you to redo the flash through fastboot again, In the thread post you linked to I only see 3 lines of fastboot flash cammands.
To fully fastboot flash a rom there needs to be a few other lines aswell, I'll list all the lines here.
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash dsp adspso.bin
fastboot flash devcfg devcfg.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash keymaster keymaster.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Lastly, "fastboot reboot" to reboot your device.

You were a great help, thanks - I didnt think this was going to end well. I was wondering if I re-lock the bootloder will that intermitent screen dissapear? If so, How do I re-lock it?

Yes that screen will go away if you re-lock bootloader and if there isn't a dm-verity issue present.
To fix dm-verity issue you need USB debugging on and this command:
Code:
adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing"
If there is no dm-verity issue, great. No need for this command then.
The unlock and lock bootloader commands you do in fastboot.
The unlock commands are:
Code:
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
So the re-lock commands are as simple as this:
Code:
fastboot flashing lock
fastboot flashing lock_critical
I am glad I could be of help

Fastboot/Bootloader mode inaccessible to root ZTE Blade a5

Hello i wanted to ask about this since i dont see any other thread related to my issue, im trying to install magisk root and im at the stage of accessing fastboot/bootloader, when i go to recovery mode and select "reboot to bootloader" it just restarts the phone, i have tried adb commands didnt work either, same result, just restarts. The "unlock oem" option under developer options is enabled, i could flash another firmware of the same phone with SPD upgrade tool and its still not letting me get into bootloader, (to do this i must press down vol down and connect the usb while the program is on, and it is detected, otherwise it just restarts adb and fastboot tools will not detect it as download mode) any idea or suggestions on how I could root the phone, been thinking about twrp but not sure it would let me install that, looked into many pages about rooting this device and none show anything related maybe its not possible, i saw there are phones with blocked bootloader. the phone is android 9
Have you tried to
- flash the boot.img from the stockfirmware;
- install a recovery (twrp, orangefox, etc.) and rebooted to fastboot from recovery?

TWRP and orangefox dont support my phone, there may be something unnoficial for twrp as i search and im not sure i can flash the phone with a specific boot file since to flash i use a single .pac file that contains the rom ill look into this
For now im not able to flash the phone with custom boot.img or recovery.img maybe i need to pack specific files i dont know about i give up for today
Sorry to hear that...
Have you tried the following command?
Apache config:
