[Q] Bricked after dirty flash? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can someone help me out? I just installed Clean Rom with a dirty flash over OSE Rom. ( I know I should have done it clean). After trying to reboot I got stuck on black screen with this: [810] Fastbootboot mode started
[860] udc_start()
I have TWRP 2.6.3.2 installed as my recovery. I tried pressing power/volume down at same time; takes me back to same screen. Any thing you guys suggest trying?

That happened to me once. I also could not get back into recovery mode. The only option I could think of is to put the phone in download mode and restore the phone to stock. There are threads posted on how to do this

Agree that this might be your best option...possibly only option

Agreed. Flash stock in download mode.

Let us know what happens. Good luck!

I found an easier way. When powered off hold volume down and power. When you see LG logo release buttons and press them again. when you are in the factory reset screen just press the power button 2 times and it should take you to recovery. This works for me in the T-mobile variant running TWRP.

If wipe data doesn't work, look for a stock rom compatible with your device and carrier, and flash it using odin.

Friend, I had the same problem like you. The difference is that my phone could connect through Odin. I revive it as showed in my post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41195930#post41195930
I dont know if that procedure could help you, but, if yes, I'll be happy to help you!!!
Good luck!

Try IOmonster's method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
It might just work.
EDIT: actually since you can't get into recovery try a different button combo. Some people say pressing all 3 keys at once works, some say just vol down + power.
Are you sure you had enough battery before flashing TWRP?

I don't have a G2, but could you use a Factory cable, which also supplies power and puts the device in Fastboot mode.
As I say, just passing through, so don't know if this is a real option.

I had an issue getting into download mode while bootlooping on an older recovery. U could try leaving phone plugged into computer, repower, then try getting into download mode. Worked for me.

This is a scarry thread!
Any updates?
when I plug the phone to the PC it recognize it as hard drives (more than 10 hard drives with small sizes from 32 meg to 10 meg ) most of them can not be accessed or protected .
than it all I got now
I did the same thing 2 nights ago. I used flashify to flash TWRP but flashed it as boot file causing it to boot loop into recovery. I had to power the phone off through the TWRP interface. Then, with the phone unplugged and off , I held the volume up button for about 3 seconds before inserting the micro usb cable. Keep holding the volume up button until the phone displays download mode. If your laptop still does not recognize your device, make sure you have the correct drivers installed and verify again. Once you are in download mode and your drivers are installed, you can follow the steps in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 post to get your phone back to stock. Worked for me and I thought my phone was donezo. Also, I installed cleanrom after I finished the above process and am loving it. Hope that helps you out mate!

That's weird. Can you install the Android SDK or ADT and get adb.
Then plug your S4 to the computer (I assume the drivers are installed?) and open up cmd. Set adb to your path variables or just browse over to the adb where you installed your SDK and run
Code:
adb devices
to see list of devices and check if yours is there. Then type
Code:
adb reboot download
Let me know if that works.

Well if CWM works, and you flashed a stock ROM using Odin, does the issue persist? If so, it could be a hardware issue then.
EDIT: Although the issue in the OP seems to be solved partially no? Can you boot normally to your ROM? Can you boot to recovery (vol-up + power)? Download mode (vol-down + power)? Anyone of them through adb?

Do you get a bootloop? Download a zip of a ROM and flash it through CWM.
Can you still access download mode through the hardware buttons or through adb?

You're supposed to press vol-down and power. Not menu. I guess that's a typo?
Anyway, if it doesn't work in those ways, I'm not sure what's left besides taking it to the shop and getting it replaced.
Does adb devices detect the phone as online? If so, you can try this toolkit and maybe that boots you to download mode?

No its not. You push in down volume, home(menu) and power button for ODIN and up volume, Home(menu) and power for recovery. Have NEVER got into download or recovery by holding volume up\down and power. Not since my Gtab 7" 1st edition....

What. That is totally weird. You are right but I can get into both recovery and download mode without touching the home button.
@spongerob500: Try what ultramag69 suggested with Menu button. Sorry about the wrong info in that regard, but on my phone I don't press the Menu/Home button.
EDIT: Sorry @ultramag69, it seems that both methods work. So no need to hold the Home button!

Sprint S4 Stuck at Yellow Splash/Bootloop

So I got this S4 shortly after it came out running 4.2. I flashed CM 10.2 shortly afterwards, and ran that until the first milestone of CM11 was released. I switched to that for about 2 months, but decided I wanted to return to stock this evening.
I followed Qbking77's guide on unrooting to MDC, and all seemed well until I got to the restart stage and the phone started hanging at the yellow Sprint logo until switching to a bootloop. I've since tried reflashing the image multiple times and no dice.
I have a nandroid backup from 1-18-14 that I took after installing CM11. At this point I'd take anything functional, CM or stock.
After flashing mdc in odin just turn off the phone. Boot into stock recovery and do a factory reset. Reboot. Profit.

So... I couldn't get recovery mode to work and I assumed that somehow I had erased it.
I went searching for tutorials on how to restore a stock recovery + rom and found an application that acts as an Odin All In One.
I'm not allowed to link yet, but something tells me that the author Rwilco12 is known around here because it's a pretty helpful piece of work he's done. I used the tool and suddenly I was able to boot into recovery per leaderbuilder's instructions.
The good news is: ITS ALIVE!
Thanks everyone for your help!
If you have an SD card and are stuck at the yellow sprint screen take it out and reboot the phone and it'll boot. After that first boot you shouldn't have a problem anymore

After holding down the volume up and power you can let go of power and hold the volume down. This will make sure it boots into recovery.

i can get into the hardware button control menu where it shows my imei and allows me to select answering calls by pressing both volume buttons and that.
i also am able to get into download mode. but i cant find the drivers and they wont auto install
