I had been tinkering with some tools it was already rooted for days. I have a Galaxy that also was rooted and been messing with same said tools. No I didn’t foolishly make some change - I actually did not make any changes at all I was just looking around the options. One random time I rebooted and this happens. Now I cannot boot even into recovery mode :-(
So, I’ve managed to get it into downloading mode by holding both volume up and down while powering it on.
Problem number one is there’s a utility that most articles reference that starts with like “B2C…” something and it says it’s supposed to download a huge file and eventually prompt you to attach the device. But it never gets to that. I have let it sit for hours. My thought is that whatever was on the other end it’s supposed to get in touch with is not there anymore.
I’m wondering if I could flash like an AOSP version or something. LG doesn’t have the rom on their site anymore, nor do some of the sites that claim to. They just send you into loops of clicking.
So, still working on it.
Thank you! I’ll look into those.
I tried a thing I found online with some recovery program you run on Windows but it just hung there and did nothing. I’ll look at these in a while.
Clearly, you made some change.
Well, it would stand to reason that I erroneously did. I meant that I didn’t intentionally nor did I notice changing anything.
So… any ideas for a solution?
Start looking at XDA for ways to unbrick a soft brick.
Yikes. I’ll look around. That site is dreadful though.
