[Q] VS980 Totally Bricked - no logo, no ADB, no fastboot - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had originally installed the wrong version of a ROM, D802 instead of VS980. Got stuck in an error with fastboot only, and I ended up following the directions here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
But I must have messed something up. Now the phone does not start at all. Pushing power buttons does nothing, no buzz, no lights, no logo, no combination of power button, power button + volume down, all 3 buttons, plugged in or not, none of it seems to do anything. The only thing that DOES happen, is that plugged into Windows it shows up as QSHSHUB_BULK device, and that's it. So something in there is on, I guess?
Don't know what to do. Might be completely gone. Anyone have any ideas?

I dont have the intellect to help you now, but for future referance if you flash the wrong thing and end up in fast boot, just use the hard keys to enter your recovery. As opposed to trying to enter fastboot commands, and flash your backup, or a different rom.
Send a pm to xdabbeb. Hes pretty compitent with fastboot

its not fully dead. when u connect it to the pc does it show u 8 hard drives ? i had this same issue but it was turning on and saying somr sort of error on a black screen. it was detecting as QSHSHUB_BULK . all u need to do is get the files for your version and follow the instructions of that thread. it should work

no hard drives
Can we do anything if it is not even showing up the drives?

[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:

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.

Sorry to revive an old post, but this doesn't work for me. My G2 shows the same codes again. It will not go to the factory reset menu... How can I fix this?

Verizon G2 Stuck in Bootloop.

Hey guys,
So I got my G2 today and rooted it using the recommended root thread(IOroot10). It completed successfully and installed SU onto my device. It didn't actually ask for any permissions when i opened it and when I attempted to update the binaries it fails because I never get the toast about granting permission. So I factory reset and tried again. It didn't work the second time either. I thought maybe it's because I didn't take the latest OTA, so I factory reset one more time, took the OTA, and am now stuck in boot. I can't get to any recovery or download mode.
The phone boots the LG logo then gives me a boot loader secure check real fast that it fails. After that it goes to a black screen and there's nothing I can do.
When I plug the phone in and let it get to the black screen, it creates a ton of virtual USB drives (16 to be exact). The first one contains a write protected folder named image which contains the files modem.bxx, mlserver.bxx, mc_b2.bxx, adsp.bxx, cmnlib.bxx, dxhdcp2.bxx, isdbtm,.bxx,
mba.bxx, playread.bxx, tqs.bxx, wcnss.bxx, widevine.bxx, where the xx in .bxx is replaced with sequences of 00 up to 26 in some cases. The rest of the drives it creates are empty.
Any sign of a recovery is completely gone, and I have no idea where it went
This is what appears in the top left of the screen when the LG splash pops up for a split second and goes black

Things I've tried:
+Completely power off:
-Hold Vol Up and plug phone in (doesn't work)
-Factory Hard Reset (doesn't work)
-Hold Vol Up + Down and plug phone in (doesn't work)
-Power on, press Vol Up at vibrate (doesn't work)
+The phone never makes it to a point where I can ADB into it. I get the splash screen(with error) and straight to the black screen.
+Completely drain the battery and plug it back in to charge up. I end up with the same issue.
+Fastboot will not recognize the device, so flashing the recovery that way isn't an option.
-Could be a driver issue, but I think the phone just never makes it to a point where I can use fastboot.

Perhaps I'm missing something in that thread, but none of it applies to me.
The link to the other thread for if you can't get into download mode only talks about having TWRP installed on the device, which I don't.
And the rest of it is if you have ADB access, which I don't as well.

To get into download mode the G2 needs to be connected to the computer and upon turning on immediately press volume up. Compared to other devices, it's a weird way to do and may take a couple of tries to successfully boot into.

I'm still having no luck. I've read nearly 4 different ways to enter download mode for the vzw version and none of them have worked yet.
Holding the power button itself just restarts the device and it heads right back into the black screen. If I continue to hold the power button after it restarts, I get the LG splash again and then it shuts off.
It seems like the stock recovery is completely gone, but I don't understand why I wouldn't be able to get into download mode because of that.

The device itself will not turn off without me holding the power+up button for around ten seconds. Holding the power button itself just restarts the device and it heads right back into the black screen.

If you're phone is responding then there's still hope. Did you try this method to boot into download?
Power off your G2, press Volume Up & Down key and then plug in the usb cable (enter to a download mode)

I have tried every button combination there is and still no luck It's really frustrating.
Try keeping USB plugged into both computer and phone. Hold power button down, as soon as u feel the haptic feedback from the reboot hold down the vol+ button.

truckroot, that does indeed work, I actually messed with my build.prop file today and it soft bricked my phone. It would turn on you'd see the LG logo and a black screen, man I was livid. So later I was going to to have it replaced under warranty, I called Verizon and what not and he told me to press this button combo and I got straight into CWM, holy crap that was quite an easy fix for me. Here is the key combo under "Alternate Method"
http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/87344 Hope it helps in some way, if the other ways still won't work for you.

Yeah, I tried modifying an apk and got caught in a bootloop prior to button combo on recovery being available, so I thought I was screwed. Finally managed to get into download mode as I described and all was well.

When you say "plug in phone" you are plugging it into a computer, correct?

I've tried installing a drivers to what shows up in the device manager when I plug the phone in, but Fastboot still won't recognize the device. And as i've said before, ADB won't recognize it either.
Any possible suggestions?

[Q] Help!!! Soft Brick and don't know what to do!

OK, I managed to really really screw my phone up!!!
I installed a 4.4.2 rom (crDroid) and everything was working fine.... USB debugging on and rooted.
Next I started playing with LCD Density settings and managed to get get a device that won't show anything past the LG logo.... just a blank screen.
I have tried connect it to my computer and using adb to push a new build.prop to fix it, but I can't seem to get this thing recognized via adb anymore.... all I see is an "unauthorized" device and I can't see the screen (b/c it blank) to make any changes to actual device.
I am really really worried that I have completely borked this device.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Another thing I should note.... I have tried many many times to boot directly into CWM (which I have installed version 6.0.4.4.). Unfortunately I think the LCD problem is killing me here.... I hold down the power+vol-down and then press them again when I hit the LG logo, but at this point the thing just goes blank.... I never actually see a CWM screen.
Again, thank in advance for your help... I am very very desperate and really have no idea what to do at this point.
OK, sorry for the freakout... I got this sorted out... it turns out I was following the wrong instructions on how to get into hardware reset mode.... for the vs980 you need to do the following...
1. press and hold power + vol-down
2. as soon as you see the LG Logo...
- release the power + vol-down buttons
- then immediately re-press only the power button
This should do it... some people were (I'm guessing for the other versions of the G2) were saying you needed to "re-press" both the power and the vol-down button and this was not working for me.

[Q] How can I get into fastboot mode without volume key?

Hello guys, I'm new here and I hope you can help me out.
Let me make the story short.
My phone's screen broke and I replaced.
In that processes I lost the rubber that stick
to the panel of the volume. I was fine with that since my phone
in vibrate mode and I really don't use ring tone in my daily basis.
I tried to download Android 5.0 lollipop and flash it.
How did I get there? well since I did not have a volume button,
I downloaded an app that restarted my phone and got me into
fastboot mode without the key (I did got me where I wanted).
Then the problem was that in the middle of writing the .img
the freaking cheap bastard micro usb unplugged!!!
BAMM!! phone now is bricked, I cannot get into recovery/fastboot mode
since I cannot press the volume key and my phone is bricked.
I tried going through fastboot mode via my computer again,
but the computer doesn't recognize the device since it still
looping there forever at the google logo. I try installing USB
DRIVERS to see if I could do some "magic" haha. Got
error "This device cannot start ..." And still at the same problem.
I know I can get back to my recovery if order the part for the volume
key, I ordered the part to replace it, but trust me I was 3 weeks without
my phone and now this problem
Is there any way that I can get to fastboot mode to factory reset my phone
without volume key with a bricked forever looping a "google" logo ? :fingers-crossed: :fingers-crossed:
I appreciate any help.

Im not sure why your text is like this? But paraphrasing buddy comes a long way
Just hold the power button, until it dies, or just let it die in general since your volume button (You only need Vol down and Power) to power it off completely. Since your Volume keys are gone, the best solution is to wait for the replacement before doing so, unless you can get the contact keys to trigger the Volume button, you're in a loss atm. No OS or Volume keys means you can't trigger ADB commands or boot into fastboot. Just wait it out I guess?

I think I bricked my ZTE Blade C2 v809

Please help me. I am in a sort of panic right now.
I have a ZTE Blade C2 v809, sold here in Portugal as Meo Smart A12. It was rooted and working fine. I was however getting some error 24's trying to install apps. I thought this might have had to do with using Titanium Backup to remove TouchPal (I did make a backup first), so I decided to restore TouchPal. There were however some errors in the restore and it was stuck there, so I decided to reboot the phone.
Chaos. Now it wont boot. If I press the button normally, the phone boots, I see the android logo, the screen goes black (Not shutdown black, a sort of light black background) and nothing happens. If I try to boot into Recovery mode by holding the power button and the volume down key, I just get the android logo stuck there, nothing happens. If I hold the power button and the volume up key, I get the picture of that laying down android with the message error.
Any more info I must provide please tell me, I am desperate for a solution, If I lose this phone I wont be able to get another one.
Okay I fixed it. Turns out the recovery menu DID work if I waited for a long time and tapped the screen. Used the update.zip available from the site, and it works like a charm
Yay, I bricked my phone, too.
I did something similar, changed recovery-from-boot.p name to recovery-from-boot.p-bak and install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh-bak
Now the phone doesn't boot properly, in fact it's stuck in a boot loop:
>starts
>shows white ZTE logo on screen
>restarts
Tried connecting the phone via USB cable and used fastboot devices & adb devices commands, no devices found.
Also tried pressing "power + vol down" and "power + vol up", nothing. I can't enter recovery mode or bootloader.
Apparently the remaining way to get in it's trough the SD slot, or maybe there's another way.
I kindly ask for help, couldn't be possible that I ruined this cell phone so fast.
Ideas, somebody?
