Hello everyone,
I was doing an antutu test, and the phone just shut off yesterday. The battery was about 60% and then impossible to restart it. I then let it cool down 10mn then tried again with no luck. I plugged to the wall with original cable and plug and then a red flashing light was lit. I went to read online about this behaviour to find out it was (to some people say) due to battery being dead and had to wait to recharge a bit. I let charge for about 2h but there was no icon of battery charging on the screen. No need to mention that i have tried everything (holding power button for 60sec, holding volume down + power button etc etc) nothing was working. Then i read somewhere on this forum i had to press volume down + power THEN plug it into wall. I gave a try then it worked it went to recovery mode.... BUT BUT BUT once i tried to go to each option (start, restart bootloader, recovery mode), the phone was shutting down right away after the google image and again red flashing light... Bummer... So since it was getting into recovery mode i plugged it to pc and then followed the thread on how to reinstall stock rom etc etc. I followed steps but since i was already with a custom rom and kernel (PA+TRINITY) i used the toolboxkit because the command fastboot was not working in the command window. I did flashed the stock bootloader following what was supposed to be flashed first.Result.. Now no red flashing light, but nothing else either, no light, no power, no charging, no recovery mode, nothing... ANY ideas would be highly apreciated before i call google for an exchange.
Thanks to all for help.
What exactly do you plan on telling Google?
How did you flash only the bootloader??
Did you try the toolkit to reflash stock???

Well since it does nothing else anymore i was going to tell them the truth besides the part it had another custom rom and kernel and i started the toolkit and i placed the 6 stock .img int he right folder then i started by flashing the bootloader and was waiting for reboot to flash the rest of the images like it is mentionned on the thread on this forum.
I used the toolkit to flash the bootloader but now the phone is dead completly. No light flashing, no battery icon, it is plugged on the wall and i get no power in it.. This is why im stuck before trying to flash stock rom and wipe all datas...
If you have any idea... i take it gladly!! but im not very used with toolkit so i dont seem to know how to wipe all datas besides flashing stok data image?? but the question is hos to get power back in phone now???
thank you for your precious help
anyone else???

Hello
Phone totally dead, not even charging anymore. Google sending replacement
So I have a Verizon LG G2. Today I wanted to try out the CM 10.2 nightly, so I download it and factory reset my phone via TWRP, followed by installing the CM10.2 nightly rom along with the gapps. Apparently something fails in the process, and now when I try to boot my phone, I see a fastboot mode log. I can no longer enter recovery mode, and I can no longer enter download mode. Attempting recovery mode will cause my phone to reboot. Attempting to enter download mode puts my phone in a Firmware Update screen where the progress bar stays locked at 0%.
I've tried downloading every LG application and flashing the stock .kdz files but it fails in each application for some reason or other (no clear error message).
What are some steps I can take to proceed in trying to fix my phone?
Hello,
Turn OFF your phone.
Start it by pressing vol- + power
When LG logo appear release both and re-press both.
You will have a white screen that say factory reset.
Press power and one more time power.
Recovery will start.

I tried this but after I confirm the factory reset, my screen just goes blank. When I reboot my phone later, I'm back at where I started earlier: at the fastboot mode started log.

Try going back to stock rom. But in able to enter in recovery mode without rebooting. First, you need to press volume - + and power button, when the phone turns off, quickly press again the volume UP key and plug the cable in. You need to be very fast because it will reboot fast.

Have you tried a recovery using LG support tool?
http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-LGD802
I've used this as rescue before
I've tried every way to enter recovery mode. It just leads to another reboot. And I know I'm doing this very very quickly, and its still not working. And I've also tried to use the LG support tool. It recognizes my phone as up to date. When I try to run upgrade recovery, it'll download a 2GB file and when it is supposedly copying it to the phone, nothing happens. and the progress bar finishes in like 8 seconds (way too fast to actually transfer 2GB). Then it says complete, when in reality nothing on my phone changed.

To turn your phone off, Hold the power button for 10 seconds, it will turn off and then reboot but continue to hold the button until it shuts off a second time. After that just follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960

I followed this but it says Device Model is Different. Check Phone or DLL. I'm using all of the files provided from that page.
Here's what I see:
Model: D802.
BIN: VS98010B_13.TOT
SWV: VS98011A_01
SWOV: VS98011A_01
Device Model is different!
Check Phone or DLL!
I think the part that surprises me is the model. D802 is the code for the UK LG G2. Does my phone think it's a UK LG G2? I was trying to install the CM10.2 ROM for the D802 when this happened.

I do have the Verizon model. There's an ugly Verizon logo on the front corner and on the back. I don't know why it says d802 for model. Is there any way I can have this returned to Verizon/LG to get it fixed if I've rooted it?
Well that's probably the problem, the Verizon and international models are different. You should never flash a ROM not meant for your phone.

Does your computer see it? Because if so you could try fastboot or adb to flash a new vs980 recovery. Otherwise, if you've done a good enough job bricking it that Verizon can't get it to boot to the screen that says that its rooted they'll probably blame it on faulty hardware and issue a replacement. (But keep in mind that that's fraud.) They may also be able to recover it in store. My friend managed to brick his Optimus G on sprint last year and they plugged it into some machine and unbricked it within 20 minutes.

HEY! I'm on the d801 as well and I've been where you're at a number of times, unfortunately. But I've always gotten out. Here's the conclusion I've reached. Trying to flash directly back to stock without wiping all the partitions first is what makes the RDTool get stuck. It's like the phone runs out of memory and can't host a full Gig+ of data since your last ROM is in the way. Sorry if I'm wrong but I'm only assuming you didn't wipe everything except the Internal storage. The good thing every time this has happened to me is that your recovery partition should be intact. Mine always is, and we're on the same variant. Another thing, booting back into recovery is not impossible. It's all in the timing it takes from the first time you see the LG logo while holding volume - and the power button, but don't let go. What worked for me was to let the phone cycle between off and boot power states twice until the phone is completely off again. You may even notice the LED indicator flash red. Release your keys if the phone stays off and immediately hold the combo down again until the phone tries to boot again just don't let go of the buttons. Once it powers down again, leave the phone alone for a few minutes. Come back and this time get ready to boot into recovery. The combo button press will initiate boot but don't let go until the next time you see the LG logo flash, then quickly release and depress the vol down power up combo and hold. May take a minute longer than usual but the reset menu should pop up thereafter. Tap power 2 more times and you should back into recovery. It's worked every time for me. Let me know if you're good and whether this helped!
Good Luck,

OK. So tell me, what ROM were you on, which recovery version and name are you using, why were you flashing back to stock, i.e. were you having problems, what kind. Explain as much as you can in detail. Need to retrace your exact steps to best get you fixed up!

i was using pa4.0 and wanted to go back to stock because i preffered the lg ui. i had twrp 2.6.3.5 i restored my back up of stock but when i rebooted i got into fastboot mode.
twrp wasnt working after i had restored my back up go straight to fastboot was stuck in fastboot until i found a thread explaining how to get out of fastboot and restore download mode.
managed to get download mode working and tried to flash stock with mobile support tool and got the 49 percent error,
my phone never really displayed any progress just says download mode with a white box and blue dots

K, now if you're only seeing the blue dots when you attach by USB your phone to PC, then you're not fully in DL mode to process the kdz. You should see a white wheel in the center of the screen when you connect and a viewing mirror near the base of your phone with ROOTED in red directly below that. And you're sure your PC is detecting your phone? You've the drivers installed? Because when RDT tells you to run the tool, you'll see some binary code in the viewing window I spoke of, the white wheel will turn and below it will be shown the COM port to which you're connected and a solid thin red bar will begin to fill a space in the viewer showing you the progress.
Also, be sure when attempting the first steps I gave you to boot into recovery that you are not USB connected. It won't work.
And, try to remember if your phone was well enough charged, should have been at least 80% full. It happened to me once that I couldn't boot recovery and my phone would go to fastboot like yours until I left it alone to charge and then I repeated the stepsvi laid out to get back into recovery. This part is paramount!
Please READ CAREFULLY
I used to be in your same situation. I thought I had bricked my phone for good. I finally figured it out. Here is my solution from my Thread.
Esteef said:
Okay, after 12+ hours of trying every method possible on XDA I finally resolved my issue. I will update the first post just incase any others care or fall into the same dilemma I was in.
The LG Mobile Support tool would not download the firmware and it would NOT ask me for my IMEI to download it either.
So my solution....
***
Installed LG Mobile Support Tool then Installed the LG Drivers. (FROM HERE http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370
BEFORE I connected the phone to the computer. I opened the LG Mobile support tool clicked (Options on the top right).
When the dropped down opened, I clicked the (Upgrade Recovery) option. THEN, is when the prompt opened to ask me what my IMEI is.
Before I entered my IMEI, I connected my phone to the computer in download mode, then proceeded to enter my IMEI and hit OK.
This is when the LG Mobile Support tool SUCCESSFULLY downloaded the latest official LG firmware and installed it.
*** BE AWARE, with the phone connected to the PC, the prompt NEVER appeared to enter my IMEI.
*** But with the phone disconnected, the prompt came up every time. This might be the trick for some people.
*** with the IMEI prompt opened, I then connected the phone , entered the IMEI, then hit OK. BOOM HERPES....
Well I'll polish this up more later. I hope this works for every LG G2 Variant and not just the T-Mobile one (D801)

Hi,
My brother is having trouble with his Nexus 4 and I was hoping I could get some help here.
The phone won't go past the boot animation, with the 4 floating balls.
It keeps showing that forever (left it for 20 minutes with charger, phone got really hot but did not get past the animation)
- Never rooted or changed firmware. Only updates from Google. (It was on 5.1.1/5.1/5.0.1)
- Sent to a shop, which claimed it can't be fixed (I do not know the reason they gave him).
My brother thinks it is because a weight was accidently dropped on the phone, but the problem only started 3 days after the incident.
No outer damage can be seen on the device, other then a small brake in the back glass.
Thanks in advance to anyone who will try to help
possibly?
Did you just update and it got stuck at the booting up????

Do you have data on it that you want to keep? If you don't you can try booting into the bootloader and unlock it. Then try flashing a factory image. This will wipe all the data on the phone though so that should probably be a last resort.

First we should check if you can boot into the bootloader at all. First turn the device off. Then hold down both the volume buttons and then press and hold the power key. Keep holding all the buttons until you see some different colored text. If that happens we should be able to install a factory image, if it still gets stuck on the Google logo I unfortunately don't have any more ideas.
Tried pressing both volume keys and power button. Google logo show for a second, then black for 2 second, thank flashing red notification light every 1/2 second until I let go of the buttons.
When I release the buttons, the phone goes back to charging battery screen.
I see people suggesting that the red light flashing means a battery problem, but the device keeps trying to boot up while it is not plugged to the charger, unlike what happened to them
Any Ideas why this is happening or what the red light means in this case?
You need to press volume down+power button to get into bootloader. Unplug the charger before doing this.

Oh it was just volume down, not both. Heh, sorry.
Use the Nexus Root Toolkit (NRT), it's the easiest way to unlock, root, flash and manage your SuperUser needs!
http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
Not sure, but maybe?
You can try using the nexus root kit & unlock your bootloader and see if a factory reset can work. If it does you can always relock it again ☺..Flashing a factory image can work too also ...
Tried volume down+ power button while unpluged from charger.
Google logo show up with vibration, then goes away after 2 seconds, like before, but then the screen goes blank. But red led not flashing.
What should I do now? Even just to use the Nexus Root Toolkit I have to allow Developer mode, which I can't as the phone will not boot up.

I'm you can't get into the bootloader then I am unfortunately not aware of any way to help you. If you can't even get into the bootloader I think it is a high probability that it is a hardware problem.

there is a big hope to revive but very long journey. You are lucky since N4 is very popular device.You can obtain required file like MPRG8064.hex and friends

First you have to ensure "The Situation" of your phone, diagnostic is very important to decide the kind of medicine or treat. Your N4 booting, stuck on google-logo with red blink, then black screen.

detected as Nexus 4 mean your device well alive. any respons from the phone if you check with adb command ? if the phone give respond to adb you can ask phone to turn to recovery $ adb reboot recovery ...

Tried volume down+ power button while unpluged from charger.
Google logo show up with vibration, then goes away after 2 seconds, like before, but then the screen goes blank. But red led not flashing.
What should I do now? Even just to use the Nexus Root Toolkit I have to allow Developer mode, which I can't as the phone will not boot up.

That sounds like the battery is completely empty. Put the device on charger over a night and try then to boot into the bootloader.
Once I had these symptoms (red light flashing) on my N4, it was enough to charge the battery for one hour. Then it booted properly. It's worth trying.

How do I do that?
The current state of my tablet is quite curious: Its stuck on Google logo and it will be this way until the battery completely drains.
What I've tried:
- Holding the Power button shuts it down for 1 second...then it boots right back up by itself.
- Recovery (POWER+VOL DOWN) doesnt work, it goes straight to Google screen.
- Connecting via USB to the computer, Windows doesnt recognize the device.
In fact, the only way I found to Turn the Tablet off is popping the back cover and unplugging the battery cable. I've left it unplugged at night, hoping it would clear some sort of Cache, didnt work. Also I've tried unplugging the battery cable, plugging it back and Turning it on with POWER+VOL DOWN in hopes of acessing recovery but it goes straight to Google screen.
Additional Info:
- This happened while I was trying to downgrade from 5.1 to 4.4.4.
- My device is the LTE version of N7 2012
- My device is currently rooted.
@RavenEffect hold down the power button for at least 20 seconds to turn it off, 1 second is not enough
How did you try to downgrade? Probably flashing went wrong? In worst cases the bootloader was erased during downgrade ... in that case ther will be no hope.

1 second is the ammount of time the tablet remains off, not the ammount of time i've pressed it. Yes, I've held it 20 seconds obviously.

Followed this guide right here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bz6x7k-VkpUJU09paVM5cmh2Xzg/view
All the steps worked until the fastboot flash boot .\boot.img command. Sometimes it would get stuck on the command prompt and the tablet was frozen in Recovery Mode. I had to close the command Prompt, reboot the tablet into recovery again and Flashing another thing first, like recovery and system and THEN i would flash the boot.img.
So theres no hope?
First of all which factory image package did you use?

The one indicated on the guide, named razorg-mob30x-factory-10b7ca08.zip, the link is in the guide link also.
I suppose you have flashed the Nexus 7(2013) images onto your Nexus 7(2012) device ... that's not a good idea.

Oh Crap, really? Is there a fix?
Yup, same deal here, not done by me. Now I am stuck in APX mode and I need to somehow flash bootloader back into the tablet. Please, don't tell me there isn't any way to do this...

Have you tried flashing the images google gives on their website? (they also give a helpful guide)

Yeah, of course, but there is one problem. I can't boot into recovery mode, the bootloader got destroyed. So the only thing I have is either google logo with padlock on the bottom or nothing with APX mode. So no ADB, no FASTBOOT.

I know for mediatek, there is smartphoneflashtool, which flashes to the device when it's turned off. I don't know if there is an equivalent that you can use.
I don't think NRT does it, so you might be screwed.
There is nvflash ... but only if you have backed up *your* individual device images before you need them. So if your device is already bricked there is no chance ...

Problem is that, when you plug the Tablet to the PC via USB, it doesnt recognize the device, like I've stated on the original post, so I cant even get to a step where I can flash any sort of file.
Well, if I think about it, only the bootloader got destroyed. The image is free on google sites. I just have to put the bootloader image into the tablet so I can get to the bootloader and flash everything else with fastboot. There has to be way to do that. I mean if the "BIOS" (screen with google logo) got destroyed, that is bad, but it is just matter of damage on free to share universal loader. There has to be way...
