My LG got bricked after OTA update. After it got bricked I use to see LG logo then certification error but few hours later the phone was like complete dead. It won't even power on, no black screen or lg logo. I connected it to charger overnight but it is not even getting charge. When i connect it to PC it says USB Not recognized.
PLEASE HELP me out. My device was just a day old
Was the device rooted with custom recovery ?
If not -
Code:
hold power + volume down ---- wait for lg logo - release SHORTLY and keep holding volume down + power again..then proceed with the reset.
If the combination does nothing try this one:
Code:
hold power + volume down ---- wait for lg logo - release SHORTLY and hold volume up + volume down..then proceed with the reset..
If this doesn't help then:
hold volume up and connect to pc, download your kdz, flash it.
If there are some other issues share them here to receive further help.

I see the "hd2" in your name. If you remember(if the hd2 == htc hd2) the magldr you know you can't charge while the device is off.
I think you didn't charge at all.
Well I can't know really, you can try to replace the battery and see what's happening. They might replace it. How did you brick it ? You didn't answer was it ordinary ota or custom recovery + ota. They might replace it if it was ordinary ota.

I think OTA + custom recovery as one of my friend said who has knowledge about this. He said the error ( certification error) which i was getting after the phone got bricked was coz of OTA + custom recovery
Well you should know is the phone brand new, did it have TWRP etc ? :/
it's weird..phones don't get rooted and with custom recovery preinstalled without user knowledge (hm..not lg phones)

I bought it from friend who rooted the phone and gave to me.
BTW i have mailed LG US and they told me to ship the unit to them.
Do they at least repair the device in paid service if they reject under warranty as it is brick (on rooted phone)
I am worried if I ship the unit and they reject it as it is rooted phone. Just want to know will they replace the motherboard in paid service so that my device will be live again.
Depends where you are from. Some say that the rooted status in EU doesn't void warranty (didn't try...)

Okay. i will give a try by replacing my battery with my friend's one.
But tell me what process should i do after that coz if it again drains fast it will be a problem.
btw my battery is still in good condition right ? it only need to be charged on phone which is not bricked
If the battery was fine before the bricking then it's also fine now.
Well, for start try entering custom recovery again.
And see the error, see if you can "fastboot devices", if it finds the phone.

I was getting Certification error when i tried putting it on recovery mode earlier when device has battery.
And it was not even going on Download mode. It was just stuck on black screen after that certification error.
Try charging your battery while his battery is in your phone (put your battery in his phone) or however you like.
Then we try to figure something out
Try ubuntu to flash twrp

I followed that tutorial and now my phone just wont go to fastboot or anything it just stays at vodafone splash.
I don't know Spanish, but I'll try to help you... Can you post your Fastboot info? Boot into Fastboot mode with power+back and copy the five or so lines at the top of the screen.

Thanks but i am no able to access fastboot after installing spl ,they told me that somehow it can be recovered with pushing power+trackball... I do not know.

To recover it from power+trackball you need a special tool that costs.....(RIFF JTAG).Do you have access to recovery(power+home and wait for 1 minute after vodafone logo) or android?

I do not have access to non of them. it stays on red splash screen that says vodafone. I tried pressing vol down+power. home+power, trackball+power(gives me black screen and blue led). But nothing at all not even on my computer it is recognized.
edit-I made a samsung 1gb goldcard.
I really do not understand well the use of a gold card I only managed to install an update in it via hboot. Then tried installing modified spl and... screwed it.
Damaged SPL maybe..Did you removed the battery or something unusual happened when flashing spl??If not try removing the battery for 1 hour and try again to enter Fastboot mode.If not again i dont know..(i think bricked)

after flashing spl it said reboot phone to complete pressing back and power button i did it and nothing, removed battery and at the moment I removed it, the icon on background appear the one that looks like a box, when you install updates to android. And since then the phone just wont let me enter fastboot or wont load up, I was wondering if there is someway I could enter fastboot.
Thanks for the help.
Phone is screwed, only gets to vodafone splash... no recovery access, no fastboot or anything. Any suggestion?
If phone does not load into any mode - then it is successfully bricked.
P.s. three modes
Recovery: home + power
Fastboot: back + power
Hboot: volumedown + power
P.p.s. search for repair-shop with jtag hardware. They can restore your phone

I've heard some people are having issues with the charge port and/or cord also. Maybe try another cord and make sure it's plugging in tightly? I think the last person covered everything else.

are you sure you were in fastboot mode? because i wasnt and it should say so in the top left corner if you were.
try different cords/ usb ports or even pc's to charge it. my mac couldn't find it at all, my windows did.

For me the brick happened when i was flashing KK with TWRP, during the flashing appears something that said "couldn't not mount system" and the phone shut down and never power up again , no usb no charge, no linux, no nothing, when i plug my device in windows appears that the devices cannot install the drivers, and i've tried all the drivers and still doesn't work
Hold power down until phone is completely off. Then, hold power and down volume until you see LG logo. As soon as you see the LG logo, release and then quickly press power and down again. Hold until you see a white screen. Then go from there.

i've tried everything, download mode, linux, recovery, lg mobile, and nothing works i think it's completly brick, i hope one day someone comes with the solution, because i went today to SAT and they don't even know what happened with my phone, and i bought it in another country so they don't want to get involve
So all you get is a black screen with you boot? There's probably a way to push whatever file might be missing or even an entire ROM but I lack the knowledge on how to do that. I remember I had to work some magic on my Galaxy Nexus but I used a toolkit so I'm afraid I've got no really useful information for you.
This also happened to me!
I am in the same state.
I rooted the LG, I installed the custom Rom, I installed an updated GAPPS and it wasnt working. I then went and installed another GAPPS overtop and I got stuck in boot loop. After I tried recovery from ADB I tried to restore from TRWP and it didnt take. After I rebooted nothing turned on, no LED, I tried ALL button combinations and nothing comes on at all. I am wondering if the phone died and now will not charge...I started with 60% but the last time i saw it it was down to 15% just thinking maybe it died completely and without any software to boot it wont charge...I have had it on charge for 8 hrs since and still nothing...
Please help!

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
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.

Did just like you with OTA today and now bricked. Guess I will have to call Verizon and see what they can do.

Call LG verizon will void your warranty
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??????
thanks to reply.

Ok as far as I have herd there is no way to rescue a bricked nexus 7 using NVflash if there are no Backed-up Blob files on it. If you just ended up in apx mode without doing anything to its bootloader then it is probably out of charge or needs to have a particular button combo to sort it out
if on the other hand you corrupted the bootloader and after that the device is in a sleep of death then you have hardbricked your nexus 7 'apparently'
good luck

Ok if you want to know about how to set up a link between the NVflash tool (on your computer) and your new n7 just use the following proceedure here www.androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean
As far as your old n7 is concerned if it is definitely hard-bricked and you have not made a backup using NVflash before the brick then there is no known way to save it with only a computer and n7 connected via USB however there is a slim chance your old n7 might just be in a state where it can't access the bootloader because of some power shortage or incorrect button states so do keep trying the key combos and recharging etc because there are a lot of stories of people who escaped using this random strategy. Normally to get into apx mode one would press all three buttons at once so to get out you could do the same so it is worth a try
BTW I have one more trick up my sleeve, if you download WugFresh's toolkit for the n7 (make sure its 2012 edition) then you could try pressing the 'reboot bootloader' option in the advance options menu in the lower left.
good luck

Same deal here - and frickin ASUS wanted $165 JUST for the motherboard part. So I said no to the RMA and they sent it back.
NOW my question is - can I order a motherboard and just swap it out? Does that work? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Asus-Nexus-...2GB-ASUS-Google-ME370T-Ship-Fast/121330719361

Thanks! Ordered it and will be attempting
I'm in dire need of immediate assistance. I had previosly rooted my phone with this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-twrp-root-t3405701 and unlocked the bootloader. Long story short I made the decision to unroot and lock the booloader. Now im faced with a bootloop and this error message: https://imgur.com/a/ksz1kYY
I can't afford to lose this phone. If someone can help me recover this phone I can even throw in an extra 20$. The phone isn't recognised by pc and thus I cant run adb commands.
Sadly due to huawei becoming the new apple, you can't do anything to restore it, unless you pay for a new motherboard.
If you are lucky enough, drain the battery until the phone no longer boots then charge it. You will have a very small chance for the device to boot and from there unlock the bootloader. If it can't boot up, then try it many times until it no longer boots in error mode.
The error means that the recovery mode cannot check if the device is valid or not, thus locking the device from unwanted access. I hope you get it fixed

Hello, already tried to boot directly in fastboot mode ?
If not, turn off the device then connect it to cpu.
Press and hold vol - and power button until it boot.
Once booted ( hope so ) open adb/fastboot command and see if works now... :fingers-crossed:

Would try this but the device doesn't exactly turn off. Holding down the power button just shuts it down for a second and then it boots automatically back. And can you explain what you mean by connecting it to cpu?

I took my phone to a repair shop and I just got it back from there. They said that the phone just turned on like regular, and it appeared to be working so they didn't charge me for a repair. I rebooted to check if they actually had done anything but the error came up once more. I guess the battery had run out and it turned on when they charged it? If I run out the battery again and charge it will it turn on again? If so, what should I do once I'm able to boot? I still can't access the recovery from there to try anything.
EDIT: I'm waiting for the phone to run out of battery again

Let it run out of battery and try to boot it into the rom. From there try to use firmware finder to reinstall your rom.

I've tried several times now to let it run out of battery and try to boot it into fastboot, but every time I'm unsuccessful and it boots up regularly. I've tried holding power + vol- and power + vol- + vol+ and every combination of those. Not sure how to proceed since running adb command -adb reboot bootloader but that just ends up getting me to the same error screen. I don't know what I can do. Is it possible to flash the stock recovery and rom without fastboot?

Do not use adb or anything else.
Use firmware finder from Google play. Huawei has it's own eRecovery which is used for updates (OTA), so you shouldn't worry.
If you want to flash stock recovery, simply extract the update file and get the recovery.img, then flash it. It's a long method and hard to explain. Google it. Success

How do I use firmware finder? I can download a update.app and something but those need to be flashed via fastboot right?
EDIT: Just tried to use firmware finder and update via proxy. I'm not able to get an update to show up despite multiple tries. Feels like I'm running out of options here.

Download the update file using firmware finder, put the update into your sd card (update.app), dial *#*#2846579*#*#, press update then wait.

You mean *#*#2846579#*#* ? It brings up a selection but the one ending in *#*# dorsn't. Software upgrade option said that it didn't find an update file. The factory reset option tries to reboot and then the error shows up again.
I got software upgrade to recognize the file but when I tried to update it just reboots back into error mode.
It's hard for me to explain how to fix it. Idk why it doesn't work to you. Have you tried going to a service and ask them to fix it for you?

Yeah I guess getting the mainboard replaced is the only thing I can do now. Should I go to a Huawei service center or a regular phone repair shop? Thanks for all your help.

If you have the warranty tell them you got a bad update and it will fix them for free (there were cases where you would get bad updates via OTA, so you are covered)
If not, then a third party store but you will have to pay cash
