[Q] Royally Screw... Stuck in Fastbook (VZW model) Please Help!

First off, I searched for someone with a similar problem and couldn't find anyone in the same situation.... Also, I'm very familiar with the root/flashy/etc. process coming from a GNex
So I rooted the G2, no problem at all (before OTA). Trouble came when I tried to flash recovery. I couldn't get it to do so, but I was following a guide that stated I needed to perform the OTA before flashing TWRP.
So I finally accepted the OTA and when I did, see first pic, it clearly asked if I wanted to perform a factory reset, I accepted. Then I get dumped into Fastboot, see second pic, and I cannot get out of Fastboot at all. In addition to that, when I plug it up via USB, it won't recognize the phone at all either.
Verizon of course said I was good to take the phone back and have it replaced, but thanks to the "tell tell" message on the Factory Reset option, check first pic - top left corner, they can clearly see it's rooted and will likely not replace it, and I'm out a ton of money.....
Are there any ideas out there as to how I can recover anything????
Thanks in advance!

You not the only one! I think the recovery partition may have got corrupted from a bad CWM flash file. I get the same black screen, fast boot bull****... phone still works at least lol.
You can always flash back to stock with the lg mobile suite, got me out of a bootloop. It should fix recovery partition I would hope

Where do I go to get that?
Or is there anyway I can actually make the phone connect to my computer via USB so that I can hopefully use the Verizon Upgrade Assistant?

I used the LG mobile support tool found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
follow the steps, after the top right of that program will have drop down with "recovery update" or something to do a full restore.
I hope you can get into download mode for this, power +volume up
Good Luck!

Thanks for the thought, however that thread is assuming you have ADB access which I cannot get my computer to recognize my phone while it's in fastboot through ADB....
Downer I have a day old phone and I may have to go ahead and make an insurance claim against because I'm not paying $549 for a new one...
Or is there a way I can completely bork this so it doesn't even get to the Factory Reset option, or at least so it won't show Rooted, so I can just take it back to VZW haha???

Hold the volume up and while holding, plug in USB. Should put it in download mode. If adb then can recognize, reinstall the recovery. If not, hold the power and volume down until it starts to reboot, when you see the LG logo, let go and immediately repress them and hold until it asks you to push the power button to reset phone. When you do reset, it will actually take you to the twrp recovery.
VZW LG G2

So if u can get into download mode use the lg moble softwear to restore it.adb is not required for that

OTA Bootloop Help

I have a Verizon LG G2 I tried to flash my backed up stock recovery with Flashify so I could flash the most recent OTA. After accepting the OTA update my phone restarted, tried to install the update, hung at a black screen but was still turned on. If I power it off and back on it shows the LG logo, some white text, then goes to the same black screen. What appears to be happening is that my backup recovery did not restore properly and it's hanging when it tries to go into recovery. It's almost like my recovery partition is blank.
I've tried to follow the instructions to flash back to stock, but I do not believe I'm actually able to get my phone into download mode. When it is plugged into my windows 7 computer with the LG drivers installed it shows up in device manager as QHSUSB_BULK.
Is there any way for me to push a stock recovery, or even a custom recovery to my phone so I can somehow salvage it, or am I permanently bricked?

I'm still trying to find a solution I will post here if i have any luck. I've dug through a lot of forum posts and I think what makes us unique is the fact that we have a corrupt or blank recovery partition.

Ive looked through a lot too. and its crazy how that would happen i made sure it was rebooting correctly before i took the ota and then when i did the ota bam! only screens i can get to come up are the hardware key control mode and the factory hard reset which both go to white screens after I do them both. every one else probably has not taken the ota.

One difference in what mine is doing and what your phone is doing. I go to a solid black screen not a white screen. It's very hard to tell my phone is even turned on. I'm having to look if the back-light to verify if it's on or not. I can hold my power button for 10 seconds through one LG logo cycle and then it turns off.

I hope someone helps us out. I really cant afford a new one because the warranty is void. I was going back to stock because of all of the little bugs that need to be ironed out in roms. cause kit kat is around the corner hopefully and my problem virtually is the same i might have had my brightness on auto or something prior to that.

Ignore all the message, unplug you phone get ready to type the command, plug it in and immediately press enter to run the command. it took some trial and error, and i had to use this other post to help me out. I actually got fastboot working first, then used this post to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595 to get download mode working, and to flash twrp recovery. After that i used this post to run the command line from with twrp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 . I didn't have to flash the factory tot to my phone, but i have that option now because download mode is working. This process will work, there is hope for you getting your phone back. I'm fully recovered. I decided 12B is not worth it in the mean time, but if you want 12B you need to flash the factory tot and then upgrade. There is a way to root 12B, but as of this time you are unable to get Custom Recovery on it.

MY LG G2 for verizon is bricked HELLLPPPPP PLEASE

sorry to bother you all. i bricked my device and it's only a few hours old. I rooted it using the io root method. that was painless.
anyway, it didn't brick then. i got a notification from verizon for the 4.4.2 update so I clicked download update it never installed and that's when the bricking started. Anytime I connect it to the computer it opens up like 40 disks and it says cannot be used unless it's formatted so I have to spend a while canceling those out. when I restart the phone it says the lg logo then the screen goes black . im stuck. i've been trying for hours. if i get the phone back i won't root it or do anything. ill deal with the bloatware, whatever. i've tried a lot of different things but to no avail. any help is appreciated. thank you for your time...and wont go into download mode....help please anyone....
i have no recovery installed....every time i try to cut the phone off it vibrates screen goes off and on showing the lg logo very quickly then goes black but remains on until battery drains

If you can't boot into stock recovery (vol down + power key) and can't get into download mode (this is where they detect root once FW update shows up and the bottom left corner says Bootloader: ROOTED) then you can rest assure as long as you are under warranty, send it in to LG directly.
Do not send it to Verizon as you may incur charges for replacement. There's insurance from Verizon, but the real "replace with no charge" warranty is sending it to LG directly. Make an account on their website, register your G2, and make a Repair request by online chat or phone.
I just got my T-mobile G2 back after 2 weeks with the same issues and while it took a while to get repaired, I didn't pay a penny and it works without T-Mobile ever knowing its different hardware (all they replace is the flash memory that is corrupted in the phone).
Only downside is that it came back with KitKat and unrooted which means I have to wait for a working root procedure for it unlike with JB (I'm not afraid to root it again since I know what messed it up before was custom recovery TWRP version 2.6.3.2 that doesn't support KitKat lol).

Not getting into download mode is odd especially for just accepting a OTA update. Remember since they accepted the OTA its gonna take a special way of getting into download mode as the phone will be constantly on in boot loop. not all of the time but most of the time when people say they cant get into bootloader they have to keep trying due to the phone has to be "Turned off" OR rebooted at the same time of holding down the key combo.

To get the phone to turn off, one has to reboot the phone (power key for 10 seconds) while holding volume up WITHOUT having the USB cable plugged in.
Recovery mode is a bit trickier by having to hold the power key for 10 seconds, then just as the phone reboots, hold PWR + VOL DWN and while holding VOL DWN, release PWR and press it again (gets to that factory reset screen where you press PWR 3 times).
Not trying to teach you this if you already know how, just stating it if the OP looks at this then he can try again with the above.
Also, Download mode is essentially the "bootloader" and it is locked meaning unless you have certified software (KDZ FW updater), you can't adb anything just in download mode unlike some LG phones that have emergency mode which is unlocked bootloader.

ive tried factory reset "vol down & power"...its just goes black and stays the same

I'm having about the exact same problem. I rooted my phone a while back, I left it stock and just used some modules (xposed). When I noticed the update I of course was stupid enough to hit the update... My phone is doing the same as his. I can get to the factory reset screen but even if I go through there I get the same black screen (though backlit). I can't boot into download. I'm downloading the .tot needed for stock, but I'm not sure if that'll be a lot of good without download mode. I have everything on my phone backed up from when I rooted it (I'm missing a few pictures but nothing major.) Any and all help would be appreciated. I've got a bunch of precalc homework and Prom in a couple days so I'm willing to sacrifice sleep tonight. Thanks! (Made this account just for this, though I've used the site a bit before.)

It's cuz you're not doing it correctly.
Yes, you're supposed to depress "vol down & power" but once you see LG logo, let go of both buttons and then immediately hold down only the "power" button.
After a few secs, a white factory reset screen will appear. Ignore the warning and press power button. I know, its kinda scary at first, but then phone will load into recovery.

I can get to the factory data reset screen but when i choose yes it just gives me the secure boot error. I am able to put my phone into download mode by pressing up volume and power when plugging to pc, but cant get pc to recognize it. I am sure I am missing something.

i am also bricked. i cant get into download mode or recovery. i have twrp installed, cant get to that either. i have tried every button combination and all i get is a black screen and vibrations, no lg logo. need help.

Has anyone made any progress or did all just send back to LG?
I am in similar shape, can get to the white factory reset screen - which does nothing once I accept.
I can also get into download mode, but the phone isn't recognized.
Wanted to confirm before I try to send it back that I can't fix myself.
Thanks!

Also, did anyone who was able to get back to the hard reset screen have luck sending to LG? Or did it have to be completely bricked?

Im also bricked. And there is no recovery mode. download mode is usable. but when i in twrp before brick i deleted efs because i have a back up after that recovery had corrupted and driver in the rom memory to talk to pc had also deleted with efs(i think). I have an idea to fix but im not sure
If I can change rom from mainboard and replace it other rom from other lg g2? Will it solve my and our problem??????

[Q] LG G2 D802 Bricked..help me please

Hi!
I managed to get my device totally bricked.
Phone is on bootloop and I only get LG logo and then "Security Error" message. I can't enter recovery mode or download mode. Only mode I'm able to go is the "Hardware key control mode" mode, where I can see my IMEI code. I can't get windows or linux to recognize my phone. I've tried several drivers, but no luck getting my laptop recognize my phone. I have also tried couple of tutorials to solve this problem, but the main problem seems to be that I can't get my laptop to recognize my phone.
Is there anything I could do or should I just buy a new phone?

Hi Jutei,
What led to this bricking? Were you trying to install a ROM? Which ROM was it? Was it a wrong variant? Please be specific as to what you did to brick it..
Also, some people have seen success by installing this driver. Are you familiar with ADB?

Hi deathbytalkshow!
I ended up to this stage by rooting with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448887) and trying to flash with this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/rom-xenonhd-d802-t3036576).
First I wiped data and cache. Then rooted and it went trough with no problems. I tried to flash with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager. It booted to recovery and started flashing. Soon it said that flashing failed and after reboot I found myself in this bootloop.
Hope this helps someone to help me.

Try this:
1. Turn phone off.
2. Press POWER+VOL DOWN
3. When LG Logo appears, immediately release POWER+VOL and press and hold VOL UP+VOL DOWN

Hi, I tried this and got to the factory reset window. It started to do reset, but pretty soon it booted and went back to bootloop. So this didn't help. I'll try those ADB drivers today.

Hi, tried adb drivers, but no luck. My laptop still doesn't recognize my phone. USB gives power, but beside that windows doesn't seems to notice that my device is plugged. Is there anything else I could try?

so you didnt make a backup before flashing? what recovery did you flash? i bricked my phone with rom manager before and will never use it again but i had a backup and was still able to get it to eventually boot into twrp to restore.

Yeah, I was stupid enough not to backup. The recovery was the stock one. Is that where I went wrong? Should I've had custom recovery installed?

I turned usb-debugging was on before phone got bricked. I think the phone should be found somehow on computer. For example this fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48765620#post48765620) needs Linux to recognize the phone, but I can't even do that. I guess the problem here is that my phone won't enter the download mode. I'm going to try with couple of different computers when I get back home from my holidays.
I also found another fix to try. I have to drain the battery and after a little re-charge I should be able to enter the download mode. I'm trying this next.

yes thats where you made your mistake. that also makes me think download mode wont work period, but im not positive. im surprised rom manager even tried to flash anything without a recovery. thats why i dont use apps like that anymore because you wouldnt of been able to **** it up that bad on your own. so you said you tried the key combo to take you to the factory restore? if you didnt flash a recovery then i would think you could get that to work. did you look into lg's flash tool? maybe that will somehow read it. i remember seeing a post in the general forum about a way to take the phone apart and short the chip out but ive never had to actually read it so i couldnt tell you whats all involved. sorry bout your phone.

Well, I just got myself in the same boat.
The phone will show the LG Logo then the security error and shut down. When plugged in with a USB to the PC it will just reboot.
Nothing is showing in Device Manager either. I done the same in the stock recovery and I tried to Side load CM12 it failed and straight into this loop.
I got nothing now. I just done see how shorting circuits will fix the issue when it's just software. Absolute nightmare as the 12 months warranty has gone.
I tried to do a hard reset and I get the android man saying its working then it shuts down and starts the error again. I'm unable to get in the Download Mode either and I'm stuck
I don't know what to do now. The flash and Support tool will not recognize the phone.

jfletch86, I tried LG Flash Tool, but the problem is that it just says no devices found. Same problem with fix I linked, I can't do anything to my phone if my laptop doesn't find it. I'm beginnig to loose hope

Oh man, I'm sorry to hear that you are in the same boat. Symptoms are the same. It seems that we have bricked our phones pretty badly. Hopefully someone comes up with fix that works. Problem is that anyone wise enough to fix this isn't stupid enough to end up this stage.

I'm hoping the same too. I just don't know why it wont allow me to do anything.
I have a nexus 4 and I've never had a problem.
I am getting nothing when plugged into my PC and its like the phone is turning on and off in the boot loop and the lg symbol.
I get the hard reset menu but the computer still doesn't recognise.
I just feel sick at the moment !!

Well, I just got myself in the same boat.
The phone will show the LG Logo then the security error and shut down. When plugged in with a USB to the PC it will just reboot.
Nothing is showing in Device Manager either. I done the same in the stock recovery and I tried to Side load CM12 it failed and straight into this loop.
I got nothing now. I just done see how shorting circuits will fix the issue when it's just software. Absolute nightmare as the 12 months warranty has gone.
I tried to do a hard reset and I get the android man saying its working then it shuts down and starts the error again. I'm unable to get in the Download Mode either and I'm stuck
I don't know what to do now. The flash and Support tool will not recognize the phone.

are you using the right bootloader for the rom you are flashing?

i have no idea. please guide me through it.

LG G2 Might be bricked, not sure.

Hello, cutting to the chase
Model: LG G2 D802
Story time: I tried to install ressurection remix rom through the sideload, after fully wiping my phone ( Wiped system, data, yada yada ) it showed some kind of an error about SU not installing properly, I thought well if I'll reboot TWRP will automaticly install SU for me, so when I tried to reboot it showed that No OS is installed, I thought it's a simple bug so I'll reboot to recovery again to check and bam. Nothing works.
+ Can't boot into recovery ( Tried volume down + power button ) LG Logo shows up and goes blank again ( Note that the screen doesn't turn off, just stays black, after holding it for a couple of seconds I can see screen going off completely but can't turn it on)
+ Can't turn it on normally.
+ Can't boot into download mode.
+After plugging it into an USB it mounts a D lettered drive with 63MB stuff in a folder called image with *.mdt files, modem files( I can screen it if it's important )
I'm clueless, never happened to me even though I flashed a lot of roms, I think I bricked it. Help?

UPDATE: I managed to quickly release Volume Down And Power buttons when LG appeared for half a second and hold it again, succesfully booted into TWRP. I haven't bricked it I think. Will tell how it goes <3

Hey man, how'd it go?
I'm in exactly the same situation as yours, can boot into twrp but nothing else works, i fear of the qhsusb_bulk brick but these people don't even seem to have recovery.
Any suggestions? Go back to stock? How?

How did it go!? I'm in a similar situation (but can boot into download-mode). Would love to get back to twrp, since I want to give it a try to flash another cm (stable). Thanks for sharing your experience...

If its picking up bulk mode normally its hard bricked there is a guide for restore nearly all g2s from hard brick having done it myself included 1st time took me a week to get back up but. Now i prob take about 45 min just cause i aint had one in a while

Hey there, can you specify what you did exactly or where to find!? Do you mean something like this? (can't post outside links, in XDA-forum, title is "LG G2 is UNBRICKABLE NOW! [FIX REAL HARD BRICK]") Thanks for help...

Yes thats it. Lol i still got the files on my pc for my g2 i keep the whe setup cause im on the g3 now i just check in the g2 forums cause i had mine for 2 years and modded the crap outa it but yea i keep all the files on hand so if anything ever happens i can fix it almost on the fly now

Well so what happened to me that I managed to get inside the TWRP. When it lighed it up for a second I quickly released and held again that got me inside magically. So then I just transfered new rom and tried to install again. Sadly I didin't see that the ROM Im trying to install requires bump TWRP and I bricked my phone again. Though I entered download mode and flashed the stock rom through LG G2 flasher.

heres a video i made, how to go into recovery. for those that cant get in to twrp.
