[Q] Bricked S4?

I seem to have bricked my S4.. Here's what I did... I was flashing the KT kernel, and accidentally downloaded the wrong version. After flashing, my phone will do nothing more than sit on a black screen and vibrate every 2 seconds. I used Odin to return to stock, and it completed successfully. It still does nothing more than sit on a black screen and vibrate. Can anyone help? Sorry for the new thread, but I'm desperate. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried using kies?

Pull your battery and wait a few seconds. Reinsert the battery and press the recovery combo (vol up + home + power. Release just the power button when the device vibrates and you see the blue script in the top left corner of the screen). If this gets you into stock recovery, wipe data, cache and reboot.

I've been having the same problem and have tried this method numerous times with no results. The phone simply will not boot into recovery, even after restoring to factory using Odin. It's incredibly frustrating. I'm at my wit's end.

Another person had a very similar problem last night. He was able to use kies to get the phone working. Give that a try.

It won't go into recovery at all. I'll be trying to restore with kies tonight, and I'll post results. Thanks guys.

So kies didn't go so well. It will not connect to my phone at all. I've tried in download mode, and it just will not connect. Any other ideas?

I had the same exact problem. Someone told me to rewrite the partition table and flash but I don't know what that means and the person who suggested this failed to elucidate. It's crazy that there's no info on this situation ANYWHERE.

I've been digging, and digging, AND DIGGING, and I haven't found a solution other than JTAG and RIFFBOX. I've read good and bad things. Looks like this phone is now a paperweight. Maybe one day there'll be a not-so-ridiculous solution.

LG G2 stuck at "Fastboot Mode started udc_started()"

Hi everyone. A friend of mine has got a problem with his G2:
I have an LG G2 D802 with rayglob flex 3.5 custom rom. Yesterday I tried to install a custom kernel (dorminax 2.1):
1) I downloaded the kernel for lg g2 802
2) entered in twrp recovery
3) Instal - Flash of kernel 2.1
4) after a few seconds a "Succesfull" message appeared
5) I rebooted
6) phone got stuck with: Fastboot Mode started
udc_started()
at the top left corner

He said that he can't enter the recovery anymore by pressing volume down + power, it doesn't work.
Have you guys any tips? He'd like to recover his data as well...

I guess u installed the wrong version of Dorimanx, download the correct version

How to flash it if the device doesn't boot even in recovery?

It'll boot into recovery, just hold and press power and vol down key and reboot.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'll tell him to keep trying, maybe i'ts just a timing issue. Thanks.

So, the suggestion is... boot into recovery, then...? Wipe everything and restore the backup (if there's one)?

Well he can push the correct kernel via adb and flash it

He's not too used to this kinda things (me neither). How can this be done?

It's easy, well Google it, u will find videos explaining the same

there is a thread to make your phone "back to stock", then you will be fine.

Thanks everyone! He successfully entered into recovery (just wrong timing I guess) and flashed the right kernel (located on an usb pen drive attached with otg cable).
He thank you very much.

My phone has done the same thing an when I hit the buttons to go to recovery mode, recovery mode just flashes up an it goes back to the fastboot screen again

I was having the same issue... Until I noticed that it was the power cable that was messing with my attempts to enter recovery!
So here I leave my tip! Do the power button combination without any connection! :good:

Can you enter download mode? If not you should also use fastboot to flash your partitions.

is your problem solved yet?

I have just flashed the wrong kernel due to my carelessness and complacency and managed to fix this issue thanks to this thread!
Make sure no power cables are plugged in as it will interfere the process to boot into recovery mode.
Hold power button down until the phone is completely off, keep holding it there for another 10 seconds.
Hold volume down and power button together now until LG screen comes out. let go of power button only
If all goes well you should see TWRP recovery and thank TWRP team for their great work!

There's a Dorimanx app in the store so this doesn't happen.

flashed the right kernel (located on an usb pen drive attached with otg cable) sorry how to do it ? any link ? thanks

LG G2 bricked

I made a mistake some wheres while formatting the phone in recovery mode. I used Advanced format instead of Factory Reset. So, now when I reboot the phone it's gets stuck at the LG logo screen and the led flashes different colors. I can't get back into recovery mode (hold both volume keys and power then let go and then do the same thing). How can I fix my phone? I can get into Download Mode though. PLEASE HELP!!!!! I have a Rogers LG G2.

To boot into recovery hold power and volume down button. Not both volume buttons... once the splash screen appears let them go and immediately hold them again... then at the factory reset screen hit power 3 times and you should enter your recovery.

awesome, 1 step closer! Now is there a way to get my rom transfered to the internal storage? ADB can't seem to see my phone.

Is there any ways of transfering a rom to the phone while in recovery mode?

So, in recovery mode. WIndows will detect my phone as "g2" in device manager but it has a exclamation mark. What drivers would i need for this? Can anyone help?

1. please visit this site " http://koush.com/post/universal-adb-driver "
2. Install it.
3. Go to Device Manager on the LG D802 search for the folder where you install the universal drivers.
4. This will make your LG to be recognize as Samsung (who cares as long as it works).
4a. Go to the SDK folder > Platform-tool ( https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html?hl=sk , for the SDK )
4b. Copy and paste the ROM zip that you want to flash (in this case mine will be CM)
5. Hold Shift and right click the mouse when you are still on the platform-tool folder , Run the command prompt.
6. In the Command Prompt
6a. enter adb devices ( this will now recognized your phone in recovery mode )
6b. enter adb sideload xxx.zip
7. NOW YOUR PHONE IS BACK ON TRACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can access TWRP recovery, you can shutdown your phone by going Reboot > Power Off.

Yes but you dont understand.the guidlines are very spacific that after all the fastboot flashing and final step says that after all flashing it says okay and to immediately power down either by removing battery or in my case with a rogers lg g2 where baterry removal is not an option it says type last command fastboot reboot and hold power while the phone powers down.but it will not power down while still plugged into usb port.well that cant happen as it loops itself.and same thing while i do button combo to get into twrp.i can do all the above no problem if the usb cord is not attached only when i unplug the usb it allows me to do combo and get recovery.i just cant get passed that point where all flashes okay and power down while still plugged in.omg this is frustrating.im gonna throw this damn phone out the window lol

I know that you're saying it won't enter recovery mode, but are you sure you're doing it correctly? *Power off, wait a sec, press power until LG logo, let go and immediately after the LG logo, when it goes black, hold volume down and power*

after the LG logo, the "Team Bliss" logo appears immediately. even if i hold volume down + power, the phone will eventually reboot and get back to the LG logo

Try this - Hold power and volume up, as soon as LG logo appears, let go of them both, press and hold them both again. You will be in recovery. Then do the full format. Did you install the correct bootstack before flashing your blisspop ROM? That could be the issue.

How to Enter Recovery Mode on LG G2 (quick easy steps)
Press the Volume Down and the Power Button at the same time, about 2-3 seconds until the LG Logo shows.
When the LG Logo shows, release the buttons and then press and hold them again.
Keep pressing the buttons until the Recovery Mode Menu displays.
