Lg g2 D805 - Root and TWPR functional.
I'll try to be as quick as possible.
I have spent around 15 hours trying to fix this, this is the problem:
-There's no IMEI (I did a backup, but I lost it because it was in my phone internal memory and the flash tools wipe everything)
-There's no Baseband
-I'm not sure if it is due to that, but my phone keeps rebooting itself with a toast message on the bottom of the screen "Error"
This happened after flashing Mahdi rom. Everything was fine except the autorotation, right after that I stupidly restore the EFS backup that FreeGee Free created in case anything wrong happened. I am not sure if this caused all this mess, but after that all this nightmare started.
Madhi rom would not boot up again, so I flash my stock rom backup and oh surprise! The phone was screwed up.
I have flash stock firmware many times, following some tutorials. They work well, usb drivers are good, everything is good, but the phone remains with the same issue, keeps rebooting, without IMEI and basebands.
I bought this phone yesterday, I had been waiting for it for a long time . If any of you guys can give me some ideas I would really appreciate it.
Possible fixes
hi,
not sure if you still have the problem since this post is quite old.
You can try restoring the software to original.
1. put your phone in download mode (turn it off, while off plub in the usb cable to the phone and pc, then press volume up button untill the screen shows download mode)
2. start the LG recovery software and add the original phone image
3. details are in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
This should fix all your issues.
Good luck!

Good evening everyone,
I will start off by saying that I really didn't do things by the book this time around. I have run out of ideas even as to what to Google to find similar cases to mine.
I wanted to flash Cyanogenmod onto my G2. Since I already had CWM installed, I loaded the ROM and Gapps. After wiping the phone, I went to flash from the zip. The flash failed. I tried again, and it happened again. I wiped the cache and dalvik again, and tried again. Still no flash.
At this point I go for the reboot only to realize that my phone is now stuck in a bootloop that is contantly landing me back into recovery.
I believe I really screwed up from here as I read about a way to exit the cwm bootloop by flashing a new "exitrecovery.zip" file. Since ADP wouldn't push the file for some reason, I used that function where the phone waits the file to be pushed and flashes it. That succeeded.
The phone switched off (after hanging on CWM for a bit) and now won't do anything at all. No boot logo, nothing. Can't get into CWM anymore either.
The computer brings up a bunch off drives which it wants me to format when I plug the phone in. Only one of them has a folder called "image" on it.
The display switches on, but won't do anything there.
Holding power+up reboots it after a few seconds and so does power=down.
I am thinking of just seeing if I can get it assessed by my carrier, hoping they'll have the tools to just reflash it... somehow. Else, is there a way to potentially fix this?
Back to stock
Put the phone in download mode (vol up while plugging in USB) and use the LG Flash Tool to return to stock. Instructions are posted in General section.
Rule number 1.
ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP.

I have a backup I made with CWM.
If that helps, please point me into the right direction to restore it. I fail to see how I can do that without even being able to start cwm up.

I will try this, but the screen never shows anything at all
Short version: Phone is boot looping at LG logo and when I try to volDown+power into recovery it gets to the factory reset prompt and I press power twice but nothing ever loads and the backlight just stays on. I'm guessing I no longer have a functioning download mode either because of the way these flashable bootstack zips we've been using on the VS980 ROMs mention that they disable download mode, so I probably can't use LG Flash Tool either. Bricked?
I had been on CloudyRom 1.3. I switched back to xdabbeb's VS980 ROM, the newest version with the 25B bootstack. As many people ran in to, for some reason after coming off of Cloudy, KnockOn doesn't work on other ROMs. I had tried to do this hidden menu trick to update the touch screen firmware which some people reported got the KnockOn working again. Long story short I was having trouble getting the hidden menu trick working while on the xdabbeb ROM, I went back to Cloudy ROM and tried to do it but that didn't fix it either. I saw people having success by going back to a purely stock ROM and doing the hidden menu trick from there.
Here is where I probably messed up, I had a backup from April of this year that I didn't have labelled/named well but I was certain it matched up with the last time I had probably been on a purely stock ROM when the VS980 finally got KK earlier this year, a backup I had made for the convenience of ever having to return to stock. I tried to restore this and that's where the trouble happened. At the time I figured worst case scenario would be that the baseband wouldn't match up and I wouldn't get a signal, but in hindsight I'm guessing it wasn't safe to try to restore this after updating to different bootstacks. Original KitKat rom was 24a I believe but I had just recently updated to 25B to use the newest xdabbeb ROM.
I saw a small ray of hope when I calmed down enough to remember the voldown+power sequence to get into recovery, but after reaching the factory reset prompt and pressing power twice to continue, nothing ever loads and the backlight just stays on, like my recovery is gone now too I guess.
And in a comedy of errors I'm guessing I no longer have a download mode that would allow me to use the LG Flash Tool through PC because these flashable bootstack files always mention that they disable download mode and I never worried about restoring it.
So, bootloop, can't get into recovery, probably can't get into download mode to work with LG Flash Tool.
Screwed? :crying: :crying: :crying:
Yeah, volUP + plug into PC just gets me fastboot mode.
Don't really understand why my recovery is gone, thought the button sequence to get back into recovery was the safety net to this entire thing and why I wasn't too worried. Was running TWRP.
I'm at the mercy of checking the internet when I have access to another computer because my phone was also my internet access on my home PC. Hoping someone can help. : (
Hi,
Have a weird situation, but try as much as I may, I'm unable to resolve it.
My phone is rooted (international D802) and was running fine. Had a screen issue and got it replaced at the service center but their system identified my phone as a rooted device, and a couple of days later the problems started.
The issues I'm facing right now:
1. The phone doesn't charge when switched on, at all.
2. The phone doesn't reboot either.. not instantly anyways. If powered off, or rebooted, the phone doesn't turn back on, it just goes dead. It does boot again though if tried after a couple of hrs.
3. The phone charges when its off (shows no light or indicator though, like its bricked)
4. Cannot go into either recovery or download mode. Coz the phone doesn't boot when restarted or when i try to reboot into recovery.
5. When it does magically start after a few hrs (upon long pressing the power button), even if I try to go into download or recovery via the vol keys, it just boots to android.
6. The phone is recognized properly as LG G2 under windows and all the drivers install too.
7. The phone isn't recognized under Linux... tried both Ubuntu and Knoppix.
Travelling out of the country in a few days, really need to sort this out.
Any and all help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Somebody... Anybody? :'(
When your phone rebooted I would recommend you firstly to activate USB Debugging in the developer settings. You said your device is rooted? So try to install the Auto Rec recovery here
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13763 - but make sure you are on Kitkat. Now, install the app normal and let the app install all things. After installation, the app asks you to reboot to recovery, now press reboot to recovery.
Maybe you have luck and the phone reboots to TWRP. In TWRP you can go to Reboot and then Reboot to Download mode.
Now (if all worked) you can flash the stock rom .kdz file of the d802 via the FlashTool 2014.
Hope you have luck, please keep me up to date if everything worked.
Yours, Flo
Good luck!!
Thanks a lot for the response Flo, but the problem is that i never got around to updating to a Kitkat rom... the rom i was never got updated and I was kinda happy with how things were working so didn't jump on to any other rom.
Anything I can do in my current situation?

LG G2 is UNBRICKABLE NOW! [FIX REAL HARD BRICK]
_____________________________________Read more write less and be smart
Hi,
I have a LG G2 D800 (ATT Black version) which I was running with cm 11 for a long time.. Last week I got curious and tried to install CM12 on it and that's where started my nightmare.
To begin with, I think I flashed the wrong twrp version (d802) instead of d800.. So I was stuck for a while.. I finally was able to recover from that and Installed CM12. The install went ok, but the phone would freeze and turn off.. It wouldn't turn back on unless I did a soft reset.. I tried a few times and then gave up.. With the nandroid backup that I had, I went back to cm11, but the problem started to follow me in CM11 as well.. The phone was constantly rebooting.. Sometimes the phone would stay on for 2-3 hours and sometimes it wouldn't stay on for 2 minutes.. So I got frustrated and went thru' different threads and finally went back to Stock Rom using the LGFlashtool method.. In stock rom, the phone booted up fine, but the rebooting issue started happening there as well.. The phone was definitely much stable under stock rom than CM11/CM12 but it won't still power off all of a sudden and I could go a couple of hours before noticing that it had turned off.. Frustrated with it, I started all over again to root and install twrp and that's when it went from Bad to worse.. Something happened with my TWRP flash and I was not able to go to recovery or download... I was stuck...
I tried several methods. 1 ) Using ubuntu was my first try.. I followed the initial steps (ls devices and gdisk -l command) and after I ran the first step (dd if=/home/med/Desktop/sbl1.img of=/dev/sdb2), my phone went into fastboot mode and ubuntu couldn't recognize my device. after that.. I couldn't run the remaining commands..
2) since I was stuck in fastboot, I followed the fastboot method from another thread by downloading the fastboot and laf.img.... The phone was responding and said recovery erased successfully, but it kept going back to fastboot.. When I tried a different laf.img file, that's when the phone rebooted and now wouldn't turn on at all..
No LG image, no recovery, no response.. I've tried all button combinations (holding vol down and power, power alone, all 3 buttons, vol+ and power)... nothing happens with the phone... Windows doesn't recognize the phone.. It says 'lg g2 qhsusb_bulk' but that's pretty much it..
Atleast until today morning I had a LG image flashing that tells me that the issue is a software / partition issue.. Now I don't know if I have fried something..
I bought the fone in november 2013 and hence its out of warranty.. . I'm not eligible for upgrade till November and I'm stuck with using a iphone 4s (ouch...) until then... It sucks big time to go from the g2 to the 4s... any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks. I looked into that thread before. Unfortunately in my case the phone is not recognized in adb or fastboot. Adb shows no device listed whereas fastboot says waiting for device.
Lg flashtool doesnt do anything either.
Only thing is that fone was showing up as unknown device and by me pressing vol up and power and vol down, it shows up as qhusb bulk..

Go to the Device Manager => device properties of the "unknown device" => Details => Hardware ID and search the value on the internet for a driver... Maybe with a driver you can get the phone to be recognized
Folks,
I finally was able to get my G2 working from a hard brick..
My final non working symptom : Blank Screen.. No download.. No recovery.. No LG logo… Windows was showing device as unknown device sometimes and sometimes as qhusb_bulk.
Steps that I followed: You need to know how to use fastboot.
1) Kept trying different combinations of the 3 buttons (power, vol + and Vol -). The one that worked for me was to unplug the phone from pc… Press all 3 buttons together for 15-20 seconds and will keys pressed, plug into the PC.
2) This put me in the fastboot mode.. Here I tried flash laf.img with several laf files. My phone was a lg g2 d800 (ATT variant). Nothing really worked..
3) So I downloaded the Stock Rom files (aboot, boot, dbi, laf, misc, modem, persist, recovery, rpm, sbl1, and tz images) from http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2). I flashed all these files using Fastboot and then after flashing, rebooted the phone.
4) The phone automatically went into AT&T update and at 3% failed with an error and booted into safe mode. (This is probably because when it got bricked, I accepted a OTA update on a rooted phone and I didn’t have twrp recovery either).
5) I came out of safe mode and booted normally and voila, I got the stock rom 4.2.2 on my phone.
Thanks so much to the various threads in XDA developers that I was able to fix this.. Much thanks to etm34 for this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681089

Happy to see you solved.
All,
Even though I resolved my bricked G2, it is still giving me issues by turning off automically after a while... It looks like a hardware failure to me where it ceases to operate at times.. The phone has stayed on sometimes for an entire day and sometimes it goes off in 5 minutes.. I'm sending it to LG repair service.. Hopefully they fix it for me under warranty (even though it has been 13 months since i bought it)..
Hello everyone!
I really hope I can find help here. I wanted to install Cyanogenmod 13 on my LG G2 D802 32GB. In the end I think I bricked my phone. I want to mention that I already searched for help on the Internet and tried many tutorials, but nothing helped.
First, I rooted my phone using this One click root method (before, I tried doing that other ways but it didn't work). So far, so good.
Then, I installed TWRP via Autorec. And here came the first problem. I booted into recovery mode and then the phone wouldn't start anymore. I started getting "Security error" along with Lg logo, when I wanted to turn on the phone. Actually I can't remember if I wiped everything in Recovery mode before or after getting this error, but I did anyway. Then I didn't get this security error message anymore, just stuck with lg logo.
Anyway I was still able to get into recovery or download mod, so I tried installing CM. But I couldn't acces my phone memory through PC and I didn't have CM installer zip on the phone. I tried copying CM installer into the phone using ADB push command. It did copy, it said it succesfully installed but since then every time I turn on my phone Lg logo just blinks for a fraction of a second and the phone will not turn on. The screen is black, but it remains "on" (there's nothing on it but you can see it's not totally turned off).
After that I tried every tutorial I could to install CM or stock ROM. I tried downloading different LG firmwares, including one found on a page where I had to enter my IMEI. But it's always the same problem: when I use LG Flashtool ( 1.0.54 ) it gets stuck. After clicking on System Upgrade I'm not asked about the language (as tutorials suggest), but it just opens LGMobile Support Tool, which says that my system is up to date.
OK, I think that's all I can say. So, the main problem is that I cannot use LG Flashtool, which is neccessary to install stock ROM in all the tutorials I have seen. Of course, I would like to install CM 13 still, but now th emost important thing is to get my phone to work again, even on stock system.
I hope we can solve this problem. Thank you all in advance!

Thanks a lot. I followed the instructions in the first post on the first site that you linked, using kdz file. Everything seemed to go well and I was already happy, but... It seemed that the stock flashed (on the computer it said that the installation was correct, on the phone the screen showed Update Software and it went to 100% percent), then the phone restarted and started updating apps for Android. And that is normal I suppose. But then, after it finished, it turned off, turned on and started installing those apps again. After that it turned off. When I wanted to turn it on, it showed me LG logo and then android logo for a fraction of a second. Then sometimes it would turn off completely and sometimes turn on again and show logos again. I assume that's what is called bootloop. So I followed the tutorial which said I should do factory hard reset. I entered the screen (power+vol down buttons), confirmed two times that I want to do the reset. It said the reset will start automatically, but nothing happened. The phone just turned off immediately and the same situation with logos (Bootlooping?) appears. So the problem now is that I cannot factory reset the phone.

I'm having a similar problem on my vs980 except I can't access recovery anymore but everything else is the same.
Edit: I actually can access recovery
You messed up pretty bad before you fixed a problem, you created another.
Have you tried to go back to stock using downoad mode and kdz?

OK, well, this is strange. The phone is working again, but actually I have no idea why I downloaded the tool from your link, installed it and ran. Then, following the yt tutorial, I went to the step where I was supposed to "look and remember the disk number that have so many partitions". I didn't anything there, though. And then, all of the sudden the phone started updating Android apps and then turned on as after factory reset. Weird, but it's working fine
By the way, can someone post a link to a tutorial on how to install Cyanogenmod 13 on LG G2 D802 32GB? I would still like to install it, but I want to avoid all the problems that I had now. So is there any good step by step tutorial that I could use to install CM?
Anyway, thanks all for help

Sure.
Download the rom from cyanogenmod website and put it on your phone memory.
Download Gapps from opengapps.org and place on the phone memory.
Go to recovery.
Make a full nandroid backup( all the partitions) , wipe all except internal storage.
Flash the rom along with the gaaps zip.
Reboot.
