FIX for Recovery LOOP (TWRP etc) - NO COMPUTER NEEDED

[inshadesofgrey]

If you get into a recovery boot loop (where the phone keeps booting into the recovery, and not the OS), this will fix it without losing any data. (NO FACTORY RESET NEEDED)

Go to TWRP recovery terminal commands, and enter the following:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

PRESS ENTER

THEN TYPE

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

THEN PRESS ENTER

REBOOT

This should boot up your phone without any changes.

At a quick glance it appears you put a space between the . and 1, try it without that space.

 

[geestarkid]

The difference that a little space makes, but still having another problem. It is now stuck on the boot up.

YOU
SO
MUCH

I've spent the last hour getting download fails with the LGFlashTool, this fixed it right away. You're a life saver man.

Think I wiped last night. Is that maybe the problem fml?

This worked for me first time go. Thank you

Thank you :highfive:

I figured the OTA this morning never took when I decided to hit ok on the update -- still no idea why I did that. I didn't want to flash back to stock and lose everything and this method worked perfectly.

Thanks again!

try entering recovery again, wipe dalvik, cache try again

I sure could have used this at 5am this morning. Had two G3's to fix using that tool. First one was easy. Second one failed about 10 times at downloading before it finally took. Good work. Hopefully this will work on the next OTA.

I have attempted this again with no luck. What should I attempt now? Again I think I wipe OS is there no backup in twrp?

Make sure you remove and re-insert battery before entering Download mode by pressing volume down button when plugging USB.

sucks that it doesn't work. I get thru to everything and when i go to reboot tells me i don't have an OS. Any last suggestions? Also the link you sent me has no option for a Mac User? I have no access to a PC.

So what worries me is what it says no space left on device. Also in the third pic no OS system.

I got the same "no space on device" and it worked. Can you sideload a rom and then do this?
