alright guys, so here's the story. just yesterday i bought a brand new lg v10, got it home and the first thing i did was root the device and used ADB to load TWRP following the instructions here on SDA to a T for the ROOT/RECOVERY setup. and it worked. all was fine and dandy, the first time i booted into TWRP via ADB after root i got in, flashed a debloated ROM + xposed and again, everything went fine.. loaded into the OS of the new ROM, went through setup, turned on USB debugging, clicked always allow this computer, installed xposed app yadayadayada. I then, using ADB again, loaded into TWRP. i created a backup there just in case something went wrong with the changes i was about to make and once the backup was complete i loaded back in to the OS. at this point i thought i had done everything right and was confident that if i made system changes that didn't work out i could just flash the phone with TWRP from the backup i made. right? WRONG! ...apparently... so anyways, i made my first change, which was to use a NONROOT app called texdroider or whatever to change my DPI (as i have done with a couple phones previously without much issue) but i didn't take into account that stupid second screen... making the DPI changes system wide, as i'm sure those of you that know this phone are aware, causes the systemUI to crash with an error.. making the OS unusable.. so i tried to load into TWRP by holding the volume down and power button.. but instead it just booted me to the factory recovery.. not TWRP... the phone is unusable within the OS, i can't get the phone to connect to adb to boot into twrp as i had previously, i can't seem to get the phone into download mode, and i can't boot to TWRP and the OS is junk at this point.. but it DOES say on the "LG" screen that the bootloader is unlocked so i'm really hoping i'm not completely out of luck.. but i am not sure what to do at this point. does anyone here know of anything i can try to get into a custom recovery at this point? if i could get into TWRP my SD card in the phone has a backup, the original image, not to mention i could pull the SD card and add anything i need via my pc and then boot back to twrp etc etc and i would have no issue fixing the phone... i really don't understand what i did wrong or why i can't boot to my custom recovery but i'm at a loss.. i'm just looking for a way to force the phone into a custom recovery... or restore the original factory image.. if you have any advice at all i would really appreciate it.
Thanks for reading
**UPDATE** this may or may not make things much easier... but I got download mode working!! so at least there's that, still no custom recovery and i'm currently looking for a KDZ or TOT file to flash via lg flash tool... hopefully that makes things easier..
When you say you got to the factory recovery, what was that, an Android on its side or something asking you to factory reset your device? If it was the factory reset screen, if you select yes and then yes, it will take you to TWRP if you have it installed. If you don't it will factory reset your device.

To boot into recovery from power off, you hold volume down & power. When you see the LG logo release and press power while continuing to hold volume down. Then as said above, it come up as a factory reset, select yes each time, and it should boot into twrp, providing you installed it correctly.

it was a screen asking me to do a factory reset, i click yes, it asks to confirm, i click yes again and then it "successfully" factory resets my phone... it shows the android factory reset symbol that its resetting, then says that its "optimizing apps" and goes through that whole process.. but when it finally loads the "welcome" screen (so i know for a fact that some sort reset has taken place) i get the same "systemui has crashed" error and the OS is unusable and won't connect to my computer.. idk why i can't access TWRP.. i booted to it 3 times before this happened, though never by the hardware buttons on the phone.. everytime i booted to TWRP i had used ADB to boot to TWRP.. what makes me the most sad is that i have a nandroid backup on my SD card... but i can't flash it without recovery.. which i can't install on the phone without getting into the OS..
is there any way to install TWRP or even boot to a temporary TWRP so that i can do so? if i can flash my nandroid i'm saved.. if i can get into a custom recovery i'm saved.. if i can find a .kdz file to flash, i'm saved... if i can get my phone to be recognized by my computer/adb i'm saved.... there simply has to be a way to unbrick this phone...

well i seem to have somehow NOT installed TWRP correctly because it just proceeds to factory reset my phone.. which for some odd reason doesn't reset the DPI... leaving me stranded... is there any way to get ADB to see my device in its present state? my computer makes the device recognition noise when i enter download mode and i can see it in device manager but not my computer or ADB
I've had this phone just over 2 months but I'm not positive, is download mode the same as the bootloader on this device? If so, fastboot commands should work, and you can flash TWRP again, or do 'fastboot boot TWRP_filename' and it will boot TWRP temporarily.
Oh, and the factory reset just wipes your data, but otherwise doesn't restore your system to factory state. That's why your dpi change remained.

dude.. then what good is a factory reset?!? like seriously... and yeah, i tried that but i can't get adb to connect in download mode.. the device doesn't show up when I type "adb devices" like it did when i first rooted it. ... and i thought i followed the instructions exactly as it was laid out from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/guide-how-to-root-lg-v10-easy-t3274699
i think somewhere in there i must have missed something and ended up only booting into twrp temporarily.. which is certainly possible since i never boot to twrp during that initial process from the hardware keys or soft keys.. always through adb.. the phone was already plugged in.. typing the command was a couple keys away..
is there anyway to get TWRP on to the phone now? or am i screwed :'(
Well, it is a factory restore for the average user, because the average person isn't modifying their system. But no, I'm sure you're not screwed. If you're in the bootloader you can't use adb, you're already past that step, so you can skip to the fastboot part. What happens when you type fastboot devices? If the phone shows up then you can either fastboot flash or boot TWRP..

from what screen should i be attempting this? hold volume up with phone off and plug in to computer to enter download mode? should i try it at the factory reset screen (volume down plus power)? those are the only two screens i seem to have access to.. in download mode my pc/adb just doesn't recognize the phone.. it doesn't show up as a proper device like it did before this whole thing and in that factory reset mode i get nothing.. the download mode seems like its built for LG and runs from different drivers because in device manager it shows up with an error code that it couldn't start the device (this was not the case when i was using adb to unlock the bootloader and then using the bootloader to boot to TWRP..) what am i missing?
and hey, thank you so very much for taking time out of your day to help me. I really do appreciate it.

No problem buddy, and sorry for the confusion. You want to be on the bootloader screen, so here is what you can do: turn the phone off(or remove the battery if you have to, and put it back in), plug the usb cable into the computer only(not phone), hold volume down on phone, plug the usb cable into the phone. That should get you into the bootloader, and then you should be able to fastboot flash or fastboot boot TWRP.
Waiting for a resolution to this thread!
I'm pulling for you from the cheering section. (otherwise known as afraid to do it myself section!)
I'm pretty sure others have come through this exact situation unharmed (I've pretty much read every thread here.) so it's only a matter of time before you get this figured out.
Here's hoping it's sooner than later.
Sorry I can't offer more besides encouragement!

@ngoblirsch Along with the information provided in these suggestions and what you have said, you need to reinstall your LG/fastboot drivers on your PC while in fastboot mode

OH DEAR GOD THANK YOU!!!!
I spent all damn day yesterday trying to figure out how to get to the bootloader on this phone.. everything i read online said to hold volume down PLUS power while plugging it in and it was NOT working lmao. dude, thank you so much. after i read that comment here it took me about 30 seconds to connect to adb and boot to TWRP. This thread can be listed as RESOLVED!
Thanks again!! can't wait to start tweaking this awesome phone!

Well I appreciate the encouragement, it sure seems to have helped! Issue has been resolved. ended up that i just didn't know the hardware key combination to get to the bootloader/fastboot mode without being already connected to adb. nothing that i could find online said to hold volume down while plugging it in to a computer. as soon as i was able to do so i connected to adb and it was a breeze from there; I am now back with an OS AND a customer recovery properly installed on the device!! I will be hanging around these forums for as long as i have this phone so i'm sure i'll bump into you guys! absolutely love the community here on XDA, you guys are freaking awesome!!

Ok, I just want to know if my phone is hard bricked, or if I still have a chance...
I tried to install an update (121 to 170 for plk-l01) on my rooted phone, with local update. It didn't worked, twrp show errors everywhere, and after turning off know i can't access the recovery. when I press on vol+/- and power for 10-15 second, it vibrate but nothing else.
Is there anything I can do ? my phone isn't recognized by my computer, by the way...
Why you did that? You can't update rooted phone

Try to boot into fastboot (phone turned off - connect with data usb to the computer - vol down + power on). Extract rom which is currently installed or higher (for your respective model) and flash from it:
fastboot.exe flash boot BOOT.img
fastboot.exe flash recovery RECOVERY.img
fastboot.exe flash cust CUST.img
fastboot.exe flash system SYSTEM.img
Reboot.

Thanks, but unfortunately, it just 'boot' as others reboots. it vibrates, doesn't get recognize and doesn't turn on...

That is what my phone is doing, I tried to upgrade to marshmallow though with no root!! I put the zip in the dload folder and went through the upgrade process everything went through the phone rebooted and now its dead. Blank screen and if you hold power after a few seconds it will vibrate but that is it. I presume its hard bricked? no matter what combo of buttons I press I cannot get it in to fastboot.

ok I'm looking for a solution for hours now... so I just lokked how works our phone and I think the trouble must be in the preloader, because I can't even make my phone being recognized by any computer and I can't access to recovery.
I found this :
http://www.droidgyan.com/soft-brick-vs-hard-bricked-vs-broken/
Which could help. I'll leave that topic on for some days (if it could help someone) and I'll open a new one to know if there is any easier solution ! thanks and good luck.
I sorted mine, it was only 2 days old so I got it replaced by the shop I bought it on. I would say it was something like a pre loader from what I saw. I have never bricked an Android phone and I must have had 15-20 of them since my first HTC Magic and before that Windows Mobile which again I messed with tons reloading with all sorts of ROM's!! These phones are wayyyy too sensitive to being messed with, I always remember though that you never mess with the boot loaders, but it looks like these updates do to get it bricked to that point.

I just hard bricked my Honor 7 the same way. Is there really no solution? Other China-Phones are pretty much unbrickable, since you can always fix it via the preloader. No such luck here? Back to the shop and hope they actually replace it? While I admit it was stupid to just hastily start the OTA while having twrp and not stock recovery (no root, though), this is a terrible design flaw on Huaweis side.
Anyway... any hope or no chance?
i just hard bricked my honor 7 PLK-L01
it the same thing it is doing . not recognized by the computer
tried all the combination of buttons. but no hope

Need urgent help please
@Idiocrate try to boot into bootloader mode just by pressing Vol DOWN button and simultaneously connecting it to a PC, don't press Power button, if it boots into it, then follow the method given by @piskr in third post.
I need help with booting into recovery mode on E5803 with 7.1.1 firmware. Phone is stock, not rooted, locked bootloader.
The problem is that "adb reboot recovery" simply reboots the phone to OS.
Turning it off, pressing Volume Down and connecting to computer while holding volume down has the same result.
Any advice would be appreciated.

there isn't a recovery for stock.. well.. there is.. but not like a normal ui recovery but it's only used as the OTA loader to upgrade for OEM

Thanks.
My reason for trying to get into recovery was to erase cache in the hope this could resolve some of the sluggish behavior that I noticed after 7.1.1 update. Is there an easy way to do that?
I also got worried that my inability to get into recovery could prevent me from flashing a different stock rom with xperifirm/flashtool. I guess, I should not have a problem.
(I am thinking of flashing a stock rom for a different country in the hope of getting fingerprint working though I did not see confirmations of this working on nougat.)

mmmm try vol up+power
clear the play caches and services
and then try another vol up+ power cycle
edit: the volume up + power button, needs to be done while the device is on... the device will vibrate 3 times and the display turns off to indicate it did it's clear
also - quickly check the app settings page and scan to look for any system apps that appear as 0.0KB / 0Bytes

Hi guys, any help would be much appreciated! I have studied all threads on XDA on bricked and boot loop'ed Honor 5X phones. I'm not a complete noob -- I have been flashing CM/LineageOS for years on Nexus 4, 5, 7, 9 and 6P, and this is the first time I have been stumped.
My KIW-L24 has an early version of LineageOS 14.1, and also TWRP 3.1.1-0 on it. I used the LineageOS updater to download a later LineageOS build, and initiated the update. As expected, the phone rebooted into TWRP, briefly showed the TWRP boot screen, but then after about 1 second, the phone reboots to the Honor boot screen for about 3 seconds, and then boots back to TWRP ... and so the cycle repeats endlessly between the two boot screens until the battery dies.
I cannot seem to get the device into bootloader/fastboot mode so that I can reflash TWRP and/or LineageOS or stock ROM. I have tried every combination of hardware keys to get the phone into fastboot (including Power+Vol Down). I tried initiating the download mode back to stock with the update.app placed in /dload/ on the sdcard (Power+Vol Down+Vol Up). I tried plugging in the PC-USB cable + Vol Down. While plugged into the PC via USB cable, I tried issuing "adb reboot bootloader" while the TWRP screen momentarily pops up (I literally have a less than a half-second when adb recognizes the phone). All without any success.
I am truly stuck! Any ideas? I have a practically brand new paperweight at the moment. :crying: Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions!
Are you sure battery isnt flat ?
You can use twrp as fas as i understand.. Correct me if i am wrong..
You can download stock rom twrp backup for your model from repository thread and try to restore backup with twrp..
Thanks, but I cannot 'use' TWRP! If I could, my problems would be easily solved, I have plenty of experience re-flashing ROMs, boot images, radios, etc.
Also, the battery is fine. At full charge, the phone powers up and immediately enters the endless boot cycle I previously described.
As soon as the phone shows the TWRP boot screen, the phone reboots again. I cannot do anything at all with TWRP. As I previously wrote, I have even tried using adb to force a reboot into fastboot while the TWRP boot screen shows for that split second (the PC momentarily recognizes the USB Android device). Unfortunately , TWRP reboots the phone too quickly.

Thanks, I just spent the another hour trying to enter Fastboot and eRecovery modes, and I must be missing something! At this point, no matter which button combination I press, I can't seem to affect the boot cycling of the phone (between TWRP and Honor boot screens).
Maybe relevant, but I am unable to even turn off the phone, it won't stop the alternating boot loop -- I don't believe in coincidences, but perhaps the power button just died? I had one Nexus 5 that started bootlooping because of the power button issue, but that was a very different behaviour than this -- the Honor deosn't get as far as booting to the OS.
GOOD LUCK !

Sound to me like you flash Non VOLTE firmware on a Volte enabled modem thats causing the boot loop, the best course of action is to restore using e-recovery, that uses a separate recovery partition so hopefully wont boot loop, remember it may take a few times to boot and you must use a usb lead that is connected to a computer, a usb charger WILL NOT DO IT !
When it boots to e-recovery select download latest firmware, you will need to connect to wifi, just follow instructions and let it restore

Erecovery should work, connect your USB to a computer and volume down + power
Another new user who posts when he has a problem and doesn't reply with an update as to what solution solved his problem, this constantly winds me up, new users who do this and dont update the thread should be kicked off
SOLVED!
Sorry for the delay of the update--I got busy and left my phone to collect dust for a while.
The ONLY solution that actually worked was to rip the phone apart and physically disconnect the battery ( !! ). Then, reconnecting the battery while holding down [Power] and [Vol -] got me into fastboot recovery, as per instructions in this thread (I had to avoid booting normally, or into recovery -- TWRP -- since either would put the phone back into the bootloop):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/how-to/guide-entering-fastboot-using-key-t3400869
After that, it was smooth sailing; I was able to kill TWRP by flashing RECOVERY.img that I extracted from stock B140 image (using Huawei extractor https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454), then force-update to stock B331, then latest TWRP and LineageOS. One hiccup: for whatever reason, I needed to do a factory reset/wipe in TWRP before it would flash LineageOS without giving error 7, despite the fact that I had just flashed the stock image.
Thank you all for your help and input!
also i found many TWRP recovery for the same SoC (https://unofficialtwrp.com/download-twrp-3-3-1-mediatek-mt6765/ (Mediatek Helio P35 (MT6765))), will it work if I flash it with it?
thanks

do you have the same phone as him if so yes it will work as it is the same chipset t your phone mine is unofficial more like ported twrp
I am newbie but flashed samsung j7 before, yes I have oppo A15S, however the chipset I am not sure since the phone is come with the maxis/hotlink package that addon a few RM get free phone.
if possible I want official but asked chat GPT and google sadly no result+dead link.

Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 (12nm) is the chipset of your phone and also if you want an official version youcan compile your own twrp for your self

Hi my experience flash 1 phone before and that phone at least can boot into (normal mode) > now my oppo can only boot into recovery mode. Is there any way to enable developer mode?

what do you mean that your phone is stuck at recovery mode? if not you can enable the developers option this is the steps
1.) Go to setting
2.) Go to About phone
3.) tap the build number 7 times
4.) now quit the setting then open it again
5.) scroll down then choose the developers option
thats how you open developers option
basically when I reboot turn off> it will "never" boot into normal mode. My phone is so broken that pressing power button only still boot into recovery mode, wipe data and reboot still into recovery mode.

your phone seems to be new which means that your volume keys are still new and good so thats not our problem here your phone didin't boot right? did you do something to your system phone like flashing or something? because if you do there is a big chance that you screw up something in your phone resulting it to be like that. now your phone can still be charge right there might be still a hope we just need to reflash your whole firmware ( if the problem is really a firmware) you said before you cant boot right then there must be a problem in the booting process, i tested this on my phone before i clean wipe my whole phone and that include system partition so when i tried to boot my phone it wont and when i charge it no logo would appear just like yours so im guessing that you phone partition is gone and like you said to its bricked now. if thats the case we need to flash the whole firmware

Thanks for reply>to avoid confusion no I did not do anything/flashing/even enable usb debugging to my OPPO A15S. I am total newbie that I flash Samsung J7 once only. The Oppo A15S yes it is 1-2 years only, volume key clicking works fine but after system update via setting>Official Oppo coloros things. My phone kinda messed up volume key not working<google results say because a lot of phone cannot boot up because of volume key. So should I pry open my phone to see the volume key? Or just wait until 1 day scheduled power up happens?
Logs:
Wednesday 5am my phone auto boot up in recovery mode.I press restart and the screen black nothing happens.
Thursday 5am no boot up
Friday no boot up too.
So I assume it is my phone power is low and somehow my auto scheduled power on force my phone to boot up? and that time system auto update causes my phone die in midway?

hmm i see you didnt do anything in your phone but you did say that you updated it right? while updating you phone did something happen? like rebooting? if so there might be a chance that it became corrupted because of ,that while in the case of your power button what kind of problem does it have? does it work correctly? or you cant click it like its stuck or something? or maybe the button is working correctly and your phone just doesnt boot up? if the button is really problem like google stated ----->
Why is my OPPO always in Recovery mode?
One of the most common causes is that [B]one of the buttons used to access android system recovery is defective or malfunctioning[/B]. Now, you should first check if the physical buttons are responding properly, especially the volume buttons, before trying to get rid of the Android Recovery Mode.
you should probably check you physical button because that might be a problem and i just remembered i have the same problem in my sisters phone vivo y53 its always stuck in recovery mode and we are confused why did it happen so we bring it to our technician friend and let him fix it and he really fix it he he told me that if something happen like this again check all the buttons correctly. Now there is really problem in you button and you cant just pry in you phone you might break something you should let the professional do it like technician after you fix your button try to boot up again and if its still black screen or recovery then the problem is in the phone system and you can comeback here so we can help you fix it.
