bricked phone, tried everything

Ok, I've put my flame suit on, but I swear I have tried everything. I am not a developer level guy by any means, but I've been installing custom roms since the OG droid. But this time I got distracted and clearly made a foolish mistake. I was installing XDABBEB's new rom and I totally flaked out and installed the bootstrap and the rom in the same flash. it obviously didn't work and even though I read the instructions, I tried to restore my rom from a backup. Now the only thing I can do is boot into fastboot.
I've tried a number of ways to get TWRP or CWM back onto my phone so I can sideload a rom onto it, but every time I try to fastboot a recovery file it says that "remote: image is not a boot image" or something. What I have gathered from my research is that I cant install a custom recovery unless I am rooted.
/
So, without a custom recovery and only fastboot at my disposal, where do I go from here?

Thanks for the reply.
I have a VS980S. I have tried the LG flash tool, but I can't get any of the numerous LG drivers to recognize my phone. I even tried dd commands in Ubuntu, but all it would do is try and mount volume after volume making it impossible to use the interface,

I'm in the same boat man. I tried flashing AOKP and it hung and I rebooted and everything but TWRP was gone. I'm in the process of trying the KDZ method right now.

I hope it works for you. I tried that and flashing TWRP with fastboot but it said that it wasn't a valid boot image. A little research said that happens when your device is not rooted. But how can I root my phone from fastboot alone?

I'll give a try and report back. But I have a feeling it won't work. I think I have the adb driver loaded but I can't get my computer to recognize any other of the drivers.

Sorry, what do you mean by "opening window in map"?

I was also in the same boat for 36 h, stuck on trwp recovery, no rom, no gaps in memory... I'm freely sailing now! I did this:
- press together power and lower button to get usb connecting screen, unplugged usb cable.
- LG tools installed and D-802 pilots {for me] installed, plug cable and check pilots again.
- launch in LG tools option for wrong install repair
- wait until the complete rom repair is installed, quite long, and then you win automatic reboot! You just loose root. Ioroot 25 again, that's all.
Hope it works for you chaps.

I had a similar issue. Follow this step by step. It even tells you when and how to install the drivers

Yeh try this ... what i meant was when opening windows in adb-map ... windows -explorer !
But try the llink provided ...it will wake up your phone ..! :good:

Believe me before doing any thing using your pc just try to change the usb port first, then let it install the driver automatically(if you're using w7/8)
if windows xp just dont plug your phone remove the old LG driver and then plug your phone to another usb port that the one you have used it before with your phone and install the driver, and then proceed....
Why i am telling you this?
because i had almost the same problem with my galaxy note 2..... it wasn't recognizing my phone until i changed my usb port in download
mode and let it istall the driver......
hope it'll help.......... :good:

Ok, when I try this the computer recognizes my phone as a "USB Modem Phone ADB port" in device manager. But when I follow the directions in the link above if fails at Step 24. It says the phone is not connected. It is asking for my phone to be in "Download mode" in step 17, but I can only get into Fastboot mode. Is that the issue?

Yeah it is. Have you tried getting it into download mode? I was able to when I was stuck with a fast boot

Ok, as i understand it you have to hold volume up and plug the device in while its off. The problem I am having is that the phone is always on. Regardless of what mode I have it in, I can always see the back light glowing. I've searched for ways of truly turning the phone off, but I can't find any info.
Suggestions?

Ok, hold power button until phone turn off, still holding until LG logo appear again, then the phone will turn off completly.
Turn off = Off
(First Off will take a long time, don't worry(about 40 seconds), don't forget: still holding the power button until LG logo appear and the phone Off)

ok, it seems like it goes off. the backlight appears to be off, but when I hold the volume up button and then plug it in, it immediately goes to fastboot. ugh.
can i use fastboot to send the phone to download mode? I'll start searching for that now.....

[Q] Please help! Boot loop and recovery error!

Hi. I have a Verizon LG G2 VS980, which I rooted a few days ago. I had some trouble flashing TWRP and that has caused some issues now. When my phone is turned on, it just recycles the Verizon animation. When I try to do a hard reset, I get a "secure booting error" and then the phone turns off. When I go into download mode to possibly download firmware updates it just sits at 0%. I'm completely lost and can't seem to find any help that is unique to my problem. If you can help, please leave very detailed instructions. Thank you.

I did the KDZ method, but the LG Mobile Support Tool stops and says "lost connection to server". Then I click retry and it stops at 2% and says "Upgrade stopped due to an error". I've retried many times. Also, I made sure to download the KDZ file under Verizon. I don't understand.

Kdz should be fine.
LG Mobile Support Tool?? You should be using LG FLASH TOOL mentioned in the post.
Did u download all the files and drivers needed?
To enter Download Mode press and holding vol up key insert the usb cable.
If Normal flash doesnt work try CSE flash located at the bottom of the tool.

During the process, the LG Flash Tool opens up the LG Mobile Support Tool. Yes, I downloaded the verizon kdz file and both drivers. I followed the guide but no luck.

Strange problem!!
Try uninstalling LG Mobile Support Tool and try again every step very carefully.
If that also fails, hope u got warranty, so take it to service center and i think its the best option as of now.

The same thing was happening to mine! All I did to fix it was....
1. Make sure its turned off by holding the power button until the lg logo stops popping up
2. Hold down Power button+Volume down at the same time
3. Let go of both when you see the lg logo come up and quickly hold down on the power button again
4. From here a white screen will come up saying something like (to factory reset press the power button)
5. After you press it TWRP or Clockwork revovery will come up depending on what you installed
6. Recover your backup
I really hope this helped you!

LG G2 Bricked, Need urgent assistance.

I need some serious help guys. Phone is stuck at boot logo and wont turn on. IT wont enter recovery mode. it wont hard reset. It wont enter download mode.
The phone was completely stock originally. So i rooted using towelroot and ran the 'AutoREC' program. That did its thing and restarted and got stuck in fastboot mode. couldnt get out of it. Eventually managed to reflash all the original stock ROM partitions and it started to boot again... only to get stuck at the LG logo. I need some serious help.
PC wont detect the phone at all and its as if there is no OS on the phone. I have the D802 variant 32gb.

which kdz variant did you flash.

I am in the same position. Except I tried to flashify stock recovery on d800 at&t variant. I wanted to install the stock update because I was still stock. Just root with twrp before...I had the sprint variant before the ls980 and it never screwed me over like this. I'll post if I figure anything out... I got to get ahold of shellnutt...

Have you tried both ways to enter recovery?
Push PWR + Vol Down till you see the LG Logo then release and press both again
Push PWR + Vol Down till you see the LG logo then release and press and hold the volume up and volume down buttons until reset screen appears.
If you can see the LG logo I think you are not Hard Bricked

I haven't tried that exactly. I'll give it a shot when I get a chance

You may want to check your internal hardware to be sure it's marked as a D802. Typically the feint white stamp in the lower center/left of the phone with rear cover removed is the true model number. It's also stamped on the board and on the ribbon cables going up eithe side. Your device is showing the signs of a false d802 which has become sadly common in recent months.

If it's legit d802 then flash aboot, boot, laf and power it off.
Then hold voume up and connect to pc while still holding volume up.
Make sure you have the drivers installed, fire up lg mobile support tool or the lg flash tool 2014 (you need your kdz file now - find it using your imei and lg-firmware site)

Okay so I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404 to get it to come up as a device in Windows and Linux. And this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 I'm sure you read this but you need to do it after following the first guide. I already have a Linux installed and I'm going to try today. I'll update with a guide for you only if you need it and if I succeed. I just need to remind you. You CANNOT mess up on the second guide... Well as far I can tell. But if the first guides label is actually true then maybe I'm wrong.

ok so ive ordered some tools to open up the phone and check the internals. Hopefully its a legit G2. Meanwhile every single possible combination of the power and volume keys does absolutely nothing. If all else fails ill try shorting the capacitors as ive seen on a guide from here and hopefully that will be the end of it. Thanks for all the input guys. Ill keep you posted!

Plug it into a windows machine, open device manager and look for Qualcomm qhsusb_bulk. If you get that, you're already in bulk and don't need to worry about shorting capacitors. If it's not being recognized in any way, you may be forced into that as a last resort.

All you really need to open it up is a guitar pick. It pries apart make sure you take the sim card out. After that it's going to take a little swipe around the edge and it'll pop open no problem.

I checked that already. Not going into bulk mode. Seems like the capacitors are my last resort

so ive poped the phone open and guess what... its not a D802.. its a D800.. the at&t version... wtf.. no wonder i bricked it. gonna see if i can use the unbrickable method

did you checked the IMEI?

nope its says on the speaker grille after you remove the back cover. "D800"

how is that possible? did phone information apps showed your device as 802 aswell? did kernel info and phone info in system settings lied too?

[Q] LG G2 F320L got bricked, almost give up here [PLEASE HELP]

Okay, this is must be my first thread since I join this lovely forum.
So here is the deal, this is my previous phone that I gave to my sister not so long ago, she has this not-so-bright wise *ss who try to fix her G2.
Sadly, he flashed the wrong rom, this is LG F320L and I think he flashed with F320K (based on error message that I got from the LG Flash Tool when I try to fix it)
This is the story so far :
1. the first time i got it on my hand (after get wrong-flashed that is ) :
- the phone is cannot boot, it stucked on black screen with fastboot command, try to go to recovery but not working, keep going to fastboot screen
- but i can still go to download mode (if I press vol UP while connect it to my PC) but somehow my PC will not recognize it
2. So I browse so many tutorial here and I end up erase and then reflash the stock recovery via cmd fastboot command, I'm 100% sure that I flashed the correct stock recovery file
- the process kinda work, the phone is able to go to recovery screen now although still cannot boot to system
- i still can go to download mode but the PC still didn't recognize it
- however, now the phone is being recognize by my PC if i plug the phone (without pressing anything on the phone), but gave me error code on the MTP driver
3. So next step I try to flash it via kdz method, didn't work of course, since my download mode won't be recognize, and then i also try to flash it via TOT method, also fail (again)
Note : on TOT method I try to flash it while NOT on download mode, since it will not recognized, it gave me error message that i try to cross flash or something. It says that I try to flash F320K to F320L (hence I assume that my sister's boyfriend flashed the wrong rom and got bricked)
also please note that while i'm did this i already make sure that i change the port setting to port 41
So now i stucked here, without the working download mode that can be recognized by my PC i think i'm start to running out of option to fix this phone
Please point me to the right direction good people of xda, please, thank you in advance

Okay, so at this moment does the device try to mount quite a lot of partitions? Also does it give any errors on the screen if you power on without trying to boot to download mode or recovery? Ideally we want to see something along the lines of security error.

thanks for your reply, i really appreciate it
well, you're right, it does give me errors when i power on (without trying to go to download mode or recovery mode)
so when i power it on, it shows LG logo then the image goes like corrupt, at first it kinda like shaking then it went blur and last it disappearing, leave the screen into just blank screen.
but my PC recognize it on this moment, just the MTP driver that wasn't
about your first question i'm afraid i can't catch what that means

Hmmm. okay, so what does the pc recognize it as exactly in device manager? Also if you connect the device do you get several pop ups stating that the mounted device needs to be fixed? It's just that if the partitions are being mounted we can reflash them manually using DD commands with ubuntu.

Right, you need to follow this guide i think. Ensure your read it fully before you attempt anything. Now, the lollipop update apparently changed some partitions so I would flash the bumped twrp from the development section instead of the 2.6.3.2 version recommended. Then once you can boot into recovery flash the rom recommended in this post

about the pop ups, no.. i don't think i got those, the only pop ups that appear was the small notification on the bottom right panel that the drivers is being installed, and keep failing on the MTP driver, maybe that's why my PC can't recognizes it under the download mode

if you open disk management what does it say about the g2? also did you install the universal adb driver at any point? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51265001&postcount=30 here it states that installing the universial driver will show your device as a samsung.

okay, i just checked on disk management and it appear that my PC doesn't recognized the G2, what makes it weird, at the same time it recognizes the G2 on device manager on ports (COM & LPT) on port 41, about the adb yes, i do believe i did that long time ago, though i forgot what was my intention of doing so

Hmmm. im stumped. I think its a bit of a catch 22 here. What i think has happened is that the rom flash that was done has changed some of the partition layout, but the methods of fixing that issue is either with DD commands from a custom recovery (which you dont have and cannot flash) or with DD commands using ubuntu when the device is auto-mounting all of your partitions. Its worth a look if you have an ubuntu disk around, if not download here, burn to disk or mount it to a bootable usb and see if ubuntu has any luck with it. Either that or try installing any drivers you can on the pc to get download mode working.
there is also this as a last resort but i've never had to do this so i cannot vouch for it :-/ Good luck pal.

Yeah, i do these.

XZ Premium Dead

Hey guys,
My XZ Premium updated to 9.0. Since then I started to have many problems.
Yesterday a messagage appeared: Your phone is corrupt, it may not work properly. It can't be trusted.
Hours later it frozed and turned off. Now it's not responding to anything. The led isn't working and the device manager shows it as SOMC Flash Device.
The comands pressing volume buttons while I connect the USB cable are not working either.
Can I save it? I bought it three months ago :crying:

First, try to repair it with Sony Companion and Newflasher. if those not work return it to your dealer or ask for a repair under warranty.

I alredy tried. It's not working. I bought in a different country that I live now. I can't use the local warranty.

first of all try a factory reset if the phone not modified.
If you have TWRP installed, wipe the phone out of TWRP.

Probably water in usb port then charging caused it

it cant hurt to try have you tried pressing volume up and power together until you get 3 vibrations?

It never get wet, and when it does I make sure that no water remains....

Can you see your phone in the Systemcontrol? If yes: does the device is valid or does the device has an Akklamation Mark "!" beside? Maybe you must install the fastboot driver?

on other hand:
try the Flash tool (Version 0.9.2.5.0) with a ftf file.
With this you can also change the version of country, remove a branding or viversa....
You will find links to the tool and ftf here in the forum

It only appears as SOMC Flash Device. The ADB or Flash Tools can't get access to the internal memory. I know there's a way to access the internal memory. Just don't know which one yet.

It looks like a coincidence. Hardware not be working may be the real issue.
If you find a knowledgeable repair shop, they can clear your flash and install the original Sony shipped OS for a little money. Most of the time this is done from the USB after a factory reset explained by others here. However, if the USB port is not working then accessing the flash needs opening the unit which will cost you.
And then if the hardware has failed, none of this would help anyway.

What's happen, if you press for 6 Sec or longer Power and Volume up together?
