I recently bought a Verizon LG G2. I was letting my brother use it and he tried to put a new rom on it... But instead it ends up softbricked. He formatted system and data, thus has nothing on it. I've been able to get into clockwork recovery and download mode. Otherwise it is in an endless bootloader, I have attempted to sideload but my computer won't detect my G2. Any ideas on how to unbrick this? Things I have tried these so far (with no success):

Hi, I've got a HUGE problem.
Today I decided to root my G2 d802 (european free distribution) and flash a CM rom.
After cleaning dalvik and factory reset i tried to flash this rom but Status 7 showed up.
So, I tried to launch G2 and find a solution for it but it started to boot loop.
Okay.
Even worse, (don't ask how, but it wasn't me!) there PROBABLY was format /system,,
After that my G2 stucks on LG logo and nothing else happens. No loop no anything. I can only go into recovery while seeing white screen asking if I agree to do format. Everytime, but it never boots normally, it's always stuck.
So, what can I do?
I can't access the phone from my computer while beeing in the recovery (it appears as a device, but i cannot access it..).
I can only use recovery
LG G2 D802
CWM-based Recovery v6.0.4.4
Sorry for bad english, not my native language.
Help me, please! How can I unbrick my G2?!
So I tried to flash Stock rom, but when in download mode G2 isn't considered as plugged into a computer. LG Mobile Support Tool can't find the device... Any help?

There is a way to probably fix it but if you cant just put your phone in the water till it breaks and use your warranty to get another one thats what I did with my D801 when it bricked

Nevermind. It came back to boot loop, so it's not bricked.
But i've got some problems.
Mainly - i still can't access my phone through my computer.
When i try to flash Stock Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 this thread) i recive: http://i.imgur.com/ijSgtwp.png - screenshot from Device Manager when in download mode: http://i.imgur.com/kMLCW7t.png and when in recovery: http://i.imgur.com/wGU6qnz.png
So we're back into boot loop.
Any help? Please?
Can you attach an otg card reader or flash memory stick from recovery?
adb sideload helps you. or adb push
The problem is, because of a tutorial on my local Android site which tells how to unloop boot in G2 I've got TWRP now instead of CWM (it was about access to terminal something and writing a command, but it didn't do ****, but it seemed to work for few people), and it would be fine, but... now computer doesn't recognize my phone. Unidentified Devices: LG G2-D802, so I can't access sideload...

I've got OTG Cable (bought for my Nexus 7) somewhere, but none of above.
LOL NEVERMIND
Becouse I had nothing to lose i decided to try to flash CM and it worked.
CWM couldn't flash it for 5 times, TWRP did it immediatly.
Topic closed, thank you for your responses.
You need to first download the kdz and lg flash utility with drivers.
Install drivers
The factory reset deleting system, cache, internal sd.
Then shutdown your g2.
Start to downloaded mode connecting your g2
Flash kdz & voila... Done
I too bricked my phone before. My flashing stuck at 49%. Recovered using above method, all is well now
This works 1000%. I bet on it. Just remember to wipe the phone completely before flashing. You will return to stock with unrooted status in download mode. U will have your warranty back too

thats not even close to a hard brick it is in bootloader mode do not let it die keep it plugged in because if the battery dies then you have a real big problem im not sure what to do after this but i know you dont want the battery to die
well that's reassuring
Keeping phone plugged in. Now if I can get some tips as to why I cant get it to communicate with ubuntu in this bootloader mode to push the files I need. Any help anyone? Please. Where I go from here?

Just install lg drivers - if it doesn't work then download adb drivers..
+please see the device manager for new devices and "not installed drivers"
+ look here
I will try when I get home thanks for your help so far at work no computer access. Thanks again bender I will let you know how everything goes.

if you manage to install the driver the rest should go easy.
It's weird, on some systems it wont install the driver properly(adb) but google nexus driver installs fine.
i was hoping so

Ultra brick G2 vs980! T_T
Good night lords of XDA!
I come to you after exhausting all that I could find and try, hope you can enlighten me, you would save a new G2 that is about to become a gleaming brick:
Summary: I have in hand a Verizon LG G2 vs980, with the intention of using it in Spain. After a bad flash a ROM for a different model, you could not access recovery mode or download mode, only fastboot.
Thanks to this great tutorial, I could flash by ADB and fastboot files an official ROM for this G2, but after a correct process, the G2 restarted and only shows "Security error" before shutting ...
I still do not have access to recovery or download, and now not to fastboot. Only allows me to access the screen "Factory reset", but in doing nothing changes.
How could re-flash a recovery or something like that allows me relive my G2?
Thank you very much in advance. You are my salvation. XD
PS: I apologize for any clerical error or misused term. I do not usually write in English.

Sorry, wrong thread. XDD
Hello everyone,
So ive been lurking on these forums for some time now looking for a solution for the mess I just created, but its been so long now that I want to ask if anyone can help me out now.
The situation is I bought a LG G2 AT&T, and then proceeded to root, recovery and everything was flawless, but I tried to install another ROM and this is went everything went to hell (Im from Mexico). It went all black and with the "Fastboot mode activated" and stuff so I went an put it on download mode and tried by all possible ways, the LG Flash Tool and the LG Flash tool 2014, both ways do not seem to bring back my phone to life.
Whenever I try to install it like this, I get this error with the D800AT FW. I get this error.
And whenever I try to install with D802 FW. I get this one as well.
When I try with the Lg Flash Tool 2014 method. I cant get it to 100%, I always get stuck on 99% And then it crashes.
I am really running out of options here, the phone is recognized by the PC, but I cant get to install a normal working stock ROM.
Any pointers, or help, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
EDIT:
Apparently, I cant post images just yet to show you the exact error. But for the first 2 errors, I get something like this.
"DOWNLOAD FAIL! Check phone or DLL" both for D800 and D802
If you have twrp as your recovery you can adb sideload a rom onto your device from your computer. Google how to sideload adb with trwp installed and follow the instructions. If your phone is recognized it should be fine.

First of all, thank you for your response.
Now, it is still recognized, but I tried to flash it with some DLL a guy provided on this one thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369) and it didnt complete, it just froze on 94% and now I cant get to Download mode.
I saw about the adb sideload, but I cant seem to access to Recovery now. Tried to, but all I get is some kind of bootloop just showing the LG and android with the open belly and then back to LG.

So the three finger method only gets you the android with the belly up? Is your phone still recognized? I'm on Verizon but i think with other phones it's the same process. If you have no recovery you need to tot back to stock. I've only done it once but it did work. This is what i used to fix my problem when adb didn't work. Lots to read but it does work and people will answer if you have a problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190.. Good luck man.

If I try to enter Recovery I enter the stock one and just asks for a Factory Reset... I can not enter download mode now, I get fastboot mode only when I try download mode. Phone is recognized by computer when I connect it, but when I try to enter Download, it does show the device on device manager, but it sounds weird and I cant do anything.
Im really starting to lose it.

If you see hit enter for factory reset (white screen) hit yes. It will enter the recovery. Twrp in this case. If the above program doesn't work but you can get into twrp download a full stock att rom... Download koush's universal drivers (google it) and watch this video at 4:20 he explains in english perfectly how to side load a rom.

Hello XDA,
I stupidly put my G2 in bootloop. It is 802, 20h, stock rom/recovery and rooted with ioroot.
I managed to break it by removing the LGweather.apk and LGslideaside.apk from system app because I was tired of seeing them taking memory for no reason. After a reboot, it is blocked at LG logo.
I have made a nandroid backup some time ago through an app so I have those APK on my computer, I just need to put them back with adb.
I can get it to download mode (picture here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58181792&postcount=4), but I can't get adb to detect the device although I tried many drivers.
My question are: Am I losing my time by trying to have adb work or it is a driver problem and it will eventually be able to push the file if I can have the phone recognised by adb?
Should I try the hard reset offered through the keys combination? I am very much afraid it would make it worse as I changed many things in the phone through xposed.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Flash the SAME rom via lg flash tool (choose normal mode because it doesn't touch your files)

Well I would have prefered not to, but as I couldn't get adb to work and the hard reset only brought me back LG sound when bootlooping, I had to.
It worked wonderfully, thanks. I have to try to get root back now (even if it shows as rooted in download mode).
The rooted is more like cosmetic
