[Q] Bricked Verizon G2 - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I made the mistake of wiping TWRP from my phone. I did a factory reset when I booted into TWRP. I tried installing the camera app mod. I am on 4.4.2. I am currently stuck on the LG screen and the phone will not power down. I cannot boot into download mode or recovery. I have tried to research as much as I can from other threads and I cannot find any that match my issue. Do I need JTAG service to fix this?

Hm. What exactly did you do ? How did you lose download mode ? (recovery I do understand).

While my phone is stuck on the LG screen (the phone will not power down) I hold the power button until it powers down, and it automatically reboots. When it reboots I hold the power button and the volume down button when the LG screen reappears and it just reboots again. Thanks for the quick reply. -Josh

Good news I just hit the right combo of keys at the right time and I got into TWRP. I will update this as I progress. I got it solved. I restored from the backup I made. Thanks again.

[Q] ?Bricked? LG G2 (D800) *Seriously Bad*

So I tried getting Cyanogenmod 10.2 for my LG G2 (D800). I did some stuff and ended up rebooting and getting this screen.
[650] Fastboot mode started
[700] udc_start()
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2403056&stc=1&d=1384904247
I used TWRP for backup, but can't even get into phone to do anything.
Also it won't come up on my computer when I plug it in with usb. I tried both my computers and they both had the drivers but the phone won't even connect to either pc. I could connect easily the day before though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2403058&stc=1&d=1384904247
I also got this while pushing Power and both Volume buttons at same time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2403059&stc=1&d=1384904390
What should I do? :crying: If you guys need more info or pictures just tell me, I'll do anything to fix my phone.
Hold power down for 15+ seconds. Then hold volume up and plug in USB. This should get you into download mode to kdz. May take a few attempts.

I see your using Utorrent you pirate! JK
It looks as if your phone has some life left, not really too familiar with D800. Have You tried the key combo to get into TWRP? Does the D800 have download mode?
Also did you by chance flash the wrong rom (different carrier)? Did you wipe the internal storage?
It looks like the incorrect ROM was flashed, it did not like your boot.img. You should be fine. Hold down the power button for +-15s as he said. During that time the screen should turn off, back on to the LG screen, then back off again. The phone should stay powered off. Then, hold the vol- & pwr buttons, releasing them when you see the LG screen. While still on the LG screen, press and hold the power button until you arrive at the LG factory reset menu. Press the power button to confirm a factory reset, which will actually boot you into TWRP so you can restore your backup.

I got it to work again! Thanks everyone for helping me, I'll try not to break my phone again :laugh:
Thank you for these threads

I have the lg g2 d800 as well and I also had a similiar issue. I wiped to clean for new rom and accidently before installing cm-10.2 I hit the reboot button. I just want to say thank you guys for all the knowledge base. Reading this thread fixed mine too.
I had similar issue couple weeks ago bad flash,no backups and unable to mount sd from custom recovery, the only way for me to fix this was to install rom via sideload, which was pain for two days.

you have to time it correctly. Turn on the phone holding power and volume down. Then when the logo shows. Quickly (not too quickly) release two buttons and press them again and hold them until recovery factory reset screen appears then press two times power button to get into recovery.

Your bootloope, can you get into download mode? Try vol up and power. Then vol down to recovery....
Got a reply from the other thread:
Use this method (scroll down to where it says Master Reset with Hardware Keys). I ran into this issue a few times, and this is how I can get back into TWRP (when you follow the instructions, instead of wiping everything it boots into TWRP)
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-7590 [start from "when LG Logo is displayed", since you can't power off]
(NB: It says T-mobile, but it works for all variants)
THIS WORKED!!!!!!!
Thanks again guys!

When you hold these two buttons and you see the LG logo, release and hold them again fast until you see factory reset screen. At this point press the power key three times and you will go to recovery. An press the thanks button here.

I think you have have to hold for 5 seconds to completely power down.
Hold vol- and power key and when logo pops up release power key and again hold power key then Reset screen should display. Press power until it starts factory reset which will dump you into Recovery.

Be sure to turn of the phone completly by holding the power button untill it starts to reboot. You will see the lg logo for a short while. After that do the volume down + power button. When you see the lg logo let go and press (and hold) volume down and power button again. Now you should be prompt to press the power button three times to reset the phone. This will take you to the recovery and let you restor your backup if you have made one.
Hope this will help you.
I ran into this same problem not too long ago. The best way to get your phone back working is trying to get into download mode and reflashing pure stock.
Just hold down the power button, even when it tries to boot up. Keep holding after the second vibration where it tries to boot up again. Then, if the screen stays black, your phone is fully off.
Then follow the instructions on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I had the exact problem and I installed LGMobile Support Tool. It will flash stock recovery + stock system. Once the program complete you'll need to hold the volume down + power button. When you see the lg logo let go and press (and hold) volume down and power button again. Now you should be prompt to press the power button three times to reset the phone. Then will start up CWM recovery and will return you to stock.

I saw that people who used the lg launcher to install recovery to their phone in download mode had the same issue. Have you expereinced this? Does it really mean i only have 11gb?

Most likely your phone has the D80010o firmware, downgrade to D80010d and you shouldn't have that issue you've described in the OP.

Weird Problem on TWRP. Boots up with Android, but not with key combination. HELP

Hi, I have a Galaxy S4 i9505 running TWRP 3.0.2-0 jfltexx. I am having a problem where TWRP won't boot up when using the key combination of Volume UP + Home + Power, it will show up with the Galaxy S4 screen then at the top left corner it will show kernel not seandroid enforcing, recovery booting. Then it will boot to a black screen and then after 3 seconds it will vibrate and boot into android like it normally does. However on Flashify (Android App for flashing) I click the 'Reboot to Recovery' Button it boots into TWRP and it runs like a charm.
Android is running completely fine, stock 5.0.1.
Help will be appreciated.
UPDATE : SOLVED, Thanks to @QueryVillain
Solution :
1) Volume up + Power button while device is off
2) As soon as you see something in upper left corner, release both buttons and you will be booted to recovery
Try TWRP 2.87 to see if you still have the same problem.

I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0 and i'm having the exact same issue, just a black screen then about 3 to 5 seconds in, it will vibrate and show Galaxy S4 screen and boot to android.
Similar behaviour started to happen to me after flashing new bootloader via ODIN, but instead of booting to Android, my phone just turns off. At first I thought recovery got overwritten, but I still could boot into it from Android restart menu
What works for me:
1) Volume up + Power button while device is off
2) As soon as you see something in upper left corner, release both buttons and you will be booted to recovery

Normally, while trying to get into recovery, you hold the buttons until it vibrates and then release.
If you don't release the buttons (the power button especially), the phone will turn off at some point.
