A United Boeing 757-200, registration N57111 performing flight UA-1076 from Los Angeles,CA to Newark,NJ (USA) with 154 people on board, was climbing out of Los Angeles' runway 25R when the crew stopped the climb at about 10,500 feet, descended to 10,000 feet and entered a hold to troubleshoot a hydraulic problem and nose gear doors not closing. The crew subsequently decided to return to Los Angeles, performed an alternate gear extension and landed safely on runway 25L about 65 minutes after departure, stopped on the runway advising they were unable to vacate the runway. Attending emergency services reported everything looked normal around the aircraft except that all gear doors were open. The aircraft was towed off the runway.

The flight was cancelled.

A ground observer reported nose and main gear doors did not close after gear retraction while the aircraft was climbing out. After the aircraft returned and landed, a runway inspection was performed, subsequently crews were sweeping the runway using sand and brooms to clear debris and hydraulic fluid.
