My V30 worked perfectly for years, Android 9 running, had it rooted using the sticky guide, and Magisk installed. I had just boarded a plane on Monday, sat down, and noticed the LG screen with the bootlaoder unlocked message warning you always see when rebooting. Then it just reboots again, I see the LG logo, the bootloader warning message, reboots again after about a minute.
I also could not turn it off because it would just turn itself right back on, and go back into the loop. Eventually the battery drained and it died. When I got home, I held the power button and the volume down then plugged in to go into I think it's recovery mode, which worked, but my only options were to flash or reboot (I think, my memory is fuzzy). Then I ran LGUP and it detected my phone, but said it can't load the model from C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\com.
Next I tried running adb commands against it which is working, however I"m getting back LGUS9983322eaa5 unauthorized which I don't understand because I clearly had debugging turned on (which I think is what causes that message?)
Any ideas on what to try next, or what could have happened? I had not installed anything new. This data recovery company called Drivesavers quoted me 900 to get my files off, but I have backups, and there's nothing on the internal memory I can't live without.
Thanks for your help!

My phone restarted one day and just wouldn't boot up. At first it was just stuck on the SAMSUNG logo, but after trying to boot into recovery, it now sits at the boot animation. When I try to boot into recovery, the CWM screen will come up, but no menu will show up, and then the phone will restart after a few minutes and go back to being stuck on the boot animation.
I can enter Download Mode, but USB Debugging must be disabled since ADB won't recognize the device and I can't send any commands (yes, drivers are installed).
First of all, is there any way I can recover the data on the phone? That is more important than getting the phone working, since I was just about ready to get a new phone anyway.
What can I do to get the phone working? Everything involving flashing a new kernel, or resetting the phone back to factory seem to require a working recovery or the ability to send commands through ADB, but I'm probably missing something, since there must something else that I can do.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
**Not sure if this is related or not, but the reason why the phone restarted before this issue occurred is because the power button on the phone is a bit faulty. Over the past couple months I've been having issues with the power button; it seems overly sensitive so when I push it sometimes the screen will turn on and off and other times the phone will just restart as if I held the button down for too long. This is the main reason why I was ready to get a new phone.
During normal use the phone just locked up and wouldn't respond so I took out the battery and put it back in expecting for it to just turn back on but it just stayed at the Lg logo and I realized what had happened, (I have had multiple issues with this phone in the past) I just shoved it in my pocket and went on business when I pull it out again and the screen is black I click the power button and it shows (Translated from polish)

Reset phone
I've had this happen once before so I sighed angrily and pressed the button to wipe my phone. Nothing again nothing, again and nothing. The button wouldn't do anything. So I reboot it and this time it just hangs I let it go for 3 days straight on the LG logo. I try various methods to reflash the phone back to a working state none of them work and the last one is what shattered it. This is the link for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748384 I try using that tool and it goes to 27 percent and fails so I try again and it the process won't start so I (apparently not learning my lesson about rebooting phones) take the battery out and try to get into s/w mode again. It won't go so I rush to my only computer with fast boot working and I couldn't get anything to flash onto the phone. The partitions are missing apparently. So how do I reset my partition table so I can reflash my phone. Note I did try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546571 but the LG software kept erroring about 25%.
Hi guys,
first of all thank you for taking your time and reading through this. I'm not completely new to android, nor using fastboot and recovery. I flashed a few phones over the past years I even resurrected bricked ones. However I have no idea what is happening to my Honor 8. One thing to mention, it's the latest Nougat update, and a STOCK ROM.
It all started this afternoon. The phone suddenly reboot while using it. After that, the android screen came on, then Honor animation and.. freeze. Completely. I had to reboot using the long press method since it was stuck between the bootloader and the rom itself. It started up ok after that.
An hour passed, and while I was typing a message, it froze again. I could go back to home but the phone was really slow. After opening up Messenger again, it froze completely. Had to restart again with the long-press reboot method. It started up ok, entered the sim pin and upon entering the screenlock code it froze again, completely. Long-press reboot, again.
Since then, the phone won't boot. It gets stuck every time on "Honor powered by Android" for about a minute, then it reboots itself. I even got some weird green screen with a blue and a red rectangle, but that just stopped after a few reboots.
I mentioned that I know how to recover and fix stuff when something acts weirdly, but that's not the case, I can't do ANYTHING. No fastboot, no recovery, no button combinations, I can't even turn off the phone. It just keeps rebooting on and on, and yes, the battery will eventually die, but I have no access to any recovery options. I even tried dload but no luck.
It's still under warranty so I can send it back but I just rather fix it at home (without taking it apart), because I don't want to wait 3 weeks to get fixed. But it seems like that is the only option right now, I have never ever seen anything like this happen.
Any help or comment is appreciated. Even if it's not possible to do it at home (hardware issues?), I am really curious what can be the cause of this issue (damaged rom, filesystem permission issues?).
Thanks.
Hi all,
To get right to the point, my phone doesn't switch on, and I cannot get into recovery/download mode.
The story:
After my apps kept on crashing for no reason, I restarted the phone. After the restart, when it asked my pin, the google app kept on crashing and the phone completely froze up.
Here is where I suspect I made a HUGE mistake. I Took out the battery and started up the phone again. It immediately told me that the system is corrupt and "cannot be trusted".
I continue the boot process, only to land in a boot loop. I take out the battery once again and restart the phone.
After displaying the LG logo, it just turned off. And that was the last time I could get it on.
I tried booting into recovery, but the phone won't even switch on to begin with.
Absolutely no response. Screen stays pitch black.
I tried doing it with the USB cable in, same result. Nothing.
I also read up on the different combinations to get into download mode to no avail.
Stock ROM and firmware installed, no mods whatsoever.
Android 8.0
Can anyone please suggest anything I can do to save my device?
I have a Verizon Ellipsis 7 tablet that is stuck in a boot loop. When I turn it on, I get the "Powered by Android" screen and then the screen goes blank but lit, and never gets to the next stage. I tried entering Factory Mode and cleared the eMMC, but after doing that I can't even get back into Factory Mode. (I spoke to a Verizon rep and he said clearing the eMMC likely cleared too much, and it now lacks the proper kernels to start up.)
I believe this whole fiasco may have started when I used the wrong charger after having not turned on the tablet for months. I stupidly ignored the warning, and the problems started soon after (although it worked perfectly normally for about a day first). I now have the correct charger and have fully charged the device overnight, but nothing's changed.
I am trying to flash the device and install TWRP, from my Mac computer. However, since I can't get the device into Factory Mode, I'm not sure how to access it from my Mac. Simply connecting the device doesn't seem to make it discoverable. Is there anything I can do, or am I SOL?
