[Q] LG G2 D800 bricked help.

My LG G2 att variant would not boot after installing Grievous RSL 4.0. I believe I had the wrong twrp installed. I am stuck and cannot boot to android. I can boot to download mode but lg flash tools does no good because the model number does not match and says it is d802. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cannot boot to recovery. I have only a black screen when not booting to download mode...

Check if you have adb access when you are on black screen.

No adb or fastboot access with the black screen. I have tried all night. Idk what else to do. I did the Linux option and now it says null next to imei and product number is blank when trying lg flash tool. For some reason I cannot get the lg launcher program to work either...

I know how to fix this, Ive got the same problem once before.
Download FlashTool.1.0.54, start UpTestEX and choose CS_EMERGANCY in PhoneMode in the top right cornor and take CDMA as type to the left.
And flash the right .kdz file for your model.
It will work. Cheers!

LG G2 D802 Bricked

Hi All,
I had TWRP recovery on this LG D802. Because download mode wasn't working i flashed a stock recovery. Since that moment i don't have:
- Recovery mode
- Download mode
- Fastboot mode
The phone is in a boot loop though. It flashes the LG logo on and off. The phone isn't being detected by the computer.
I hope someone can help me.
Kind regards.

This is not to dampen your spirit but if it is not detected by computer then it is very hard to get it back to life. But I guess it is not detecting by computer because it is not fully loading(at least some of the necessary files loading). If you aren't able to get into download mode or fastboot mode, I guess you may try the method explained in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
Hope your device get back to normal following that thread, you need Ubuntu for that method to try, but that's(installing ubuntu) not a difficult.

Thank you for your answer. Onfurtantely that is not helping because for that manual the mobile needs to be detected by the computer.

Then I suggest you to completely switch off the phone(I hope you already done that) & leave it for some time and then try it after some time. Did you use the proper stock recovery when going from TWRP to stock recovery(I mean the recovery that is intended for your phone model)?. What I think is that as long as it is seeing some sort of life(it is going as far as LG Logo), there is a hope that it can be recovered. I think some thing is messed up in recovery or boot or one of those partitions that are checked during the boot.

You need to first download the kdz and lg flash utility with drivers.
Install drivers
The factory reset deleting system, cache, internal sd.
Then shutdown your g2.
Start to downloaded mode connecting your g2
Flash kdz & voila... Done
I too bricked my phone before. My flashing stuck at 49%. Recovered using above method, all is well now
This works 1000%. I bet on it. Just remember to wipe the phone completely before flashing. You will return to stock with unrooted status in download mode. U will have your warranty back too

ok stop copy pasting same thing on different places if you would have read you would have noticed in the beginning he can't eneter download mode

On which system did you try it?
Maybe try Windows,Mac and something like Ubuntu.
Also take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
It worked for me, maybe it does for you too.

bricked phone, tried everything

Ok, I've put my flame suit on, but I swear I have tried everything. I am not a developer level guy by any means, but I've been installing custom roms since the OG droid. But this time I got distracted and clearly made a foolish mistake. I was installing XDABBEB's new rom and I totally flaked out and installed the bootstrap and the rom in the same flash. it obviously didn't work and even though I read the instructions, I tried to restore my rom from a backup. Now the only thing I can do is boot into fastboot.
I've tried a number of ways to get TWRP or CWM back onto my phone so I can sideload a rom onto it, but every time I try to fastboot a recovery file it says that "remote: image is not a boot image" or something. What I have gathered from my research is that I cant install a custom recovery unless I am rooted.

So, without a custom recovery and only fastboot at my disposal, where do I go from here?

Thanks for the reply.
I have a VS980S. I have tried the LG flash tool, but I can't get any of the numerous LG drivers to recognize my phone. I even tried dd commands in Ubuntu, but all it would do is try and mount volume after volume making it impossible to use the interface,

I'm in the same boat man. I tried flashing AOKP and it hung and I rebooted and everything but TWRP was gone. I'm in the process of trying the KDZ method right now.

I hope it works for you. I tried that and flashing TWRP with fastboot but it said that it wasn't a valid boot image. A little research said that happens when your device is not rooted. But how can I root my phone from fastboot alone?

I'll give a try and report back. But I have a feeling it won't work. I think I have the adb driver loaded but I can't get my computer to recognize any other of the drivers.

Sorry, what do you mean by "opening window in map"?

I was also in the same boat for 36 h, stuck on trwp recovery, no rom, no gaps in memory... I'm freely sailing now! I did this:
- press together power and lower button to get usb connecting screen, unplugged usb cable.
- LG tools installed and D-802 pilots {for me] installed, plug cable and check pilots again.
- launch in LG tools option for wrong install repair
- wait until the complete rom repair is installed, quite long, and then you win automatic reboot! You just loose root. Ioroot 25 again, that's all.
Hope it works for you chaps.

I had a similar issue. Follow this step by step. It even tells you when and how to install the drivers

Yeh try this ... what i meant was when opening windows in adb-map ... windows -explorer !
But try the llink provided ...it will wake up your phone ..! :good:

Believe me before doing any thing using your pc just try to change the usb port first, then let it install the driver automatically(if you're using w7/8)
if windows xp just dont plug your phone remove the old LG driver and then plug your phone to another usb port that the one you have used it before with your phone and install the driver, and then proceed....
Why i am telling you this?
because i had almost the same problem with my galaxy note 2..... it wasn't recognizing my phone until i changed my usb port in download
mode and let it istall the driver......
hope it'll help.......... :good:

Ok, when I try this the computer recognizes my phone as a "USB Modem Phone ADB port" in device manager. But when I follow the directions in the link above if fails at Step 24. It says the phone is not connected. It is asking for my phone to be in "Download mode" in step 17, but I can only get into Fastboot mode. Is that the issue?

Yeah it is. Have you tried getting it into download mode? I was able to when I was stuck with a fast boot

Try holding the power until the phone is off. Then you should be able to get to download mode

Ok, as i understand it you have to hold volume up and plug the device in while its off. The problem I am having is that the phone is always on. Regardless of what mode I have it in, I can always see the back light glowing. I've searched for ways of truly turning the phone off, but I can't find any info.
Suggestions?

Ok, hold power button until phone turn off, still holding until LG logo appear again, then the phone will turn off completly.
Turn off = Off
(First Off will take a long time, don't worry(about 40 seconds), don't forget: still holding the power button until LG logo appear and the phone Off)

ok, it seems like it goes off. the backlight appears to be off, but when I hold the volume up button and then plug it in, it immediately goes to fastboot. ugh.
can i use fastboot to send the phone to download mode? I'll start searching for that now.....

Help Me Bricked LG G2

I tried to download via lg tools and flash something and failed.
when you restart the phone gave me the black screen.
I run ubuntu from the procedure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
after trying this procedure, the phone remains fixed on the lg logo.
How can I fix ??? I pray you are in a panic ...
the computer does not recognize the phone more
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

What phone model do you have? Sounds like you might have to boot into download mode and use the LG tool to go back to stock completely.

I have a d802
the phone is stuck on the lg logo.
As per the procedure would have to start the recovery but will not start.
Not part of the download mode.
I can get into factory reset but the pc does not recognize.
It seems to me a serious case. The guarantee how it behaves in these cases?

Dont you have recovery to flash new rom via ADB?

Try with ubuntu once again it will work out

ubuntu does not recognize the phone more.
The recovery is the original one.

Make sure the ports on the pc are set to 41. Do you have the drivers in the pc as well?

[Q] Cant go back to stock by any means

Hello everyone,
So ive been lurking on these forums for some time now looking for a solution for the mess I just created, but its been so long now that I want to ask if anyone can help me out now.
The situation is I bought a LG G2 AT&T, and then proceeded to root, recovery and everything was flawless, but I tried to install another ROM and this is went everything went to hell (Im from Mexico). It went all black and with the "Fastboot mode activated" and stuff so I went an put it on download mode and tried by all possible ways, the LG Flash Tool and the LG Flash tool 2014, both ways do not seem to bring back my phone to life.
Whenever I try to install it like this, I get this error with the D800AT FW. I get this error.
And whenever I try to install with D802 FW. I get this one as well.
When I try with the Lg Flash Tool 2014 method. I cant get it to 100%, I always get stuck on 99% And then it crashes.
I am really running out of options here, the phone is recognized by the PC, but I cant get to install a normal working stock ROM.
Any pointers, or help, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
EDIT:
Apparently, I cant post images just yet to show you the exact error. But for the first 2 errors, I get something like this.
"DOWNLOAD FAIL! Check phone or DLL" both for D800 and D802

If you have twrp as your recovery you can adb sideload a rom onto your device from your computer. Google how to sideload adb with trwp installed and follow the instructions. If your phone is recognized it should be fine.

First of all, thank you for your response.
Now, it is still recognized, but I tried to flash it with some DLL a guy provided on this one thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369) and it didnt complete, it just froze on 94% and now I cant get to Download mode.
I saw about the adb sideload, but I cant seem to access to Recovery now. Tried to, but all I get is some kind of bootloop just showing the LG and android with the open belly and then back to LG.

So the three finger method only gets you the android with the belly up? Is your phone still recognized? I'm on Verizon but i think with other phones it's the same process. If you have no recovery you need to tot back to stock. I've only done it once but it did work. This is what i used to fix my problem when adb didn't work. Lots to read but it does work and people will answer if you have a problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190.. Good luck man.

If I try to enter Recovery I enter the stock one and just asks for a Factory Reset... I can not enter download mode now, I get fastboot mode only when I try download mode. Phone is recognized by computer when I connect it, but when I try to enter Download, it does show the device on device manager, but it sounds weird and I cant do anything.
Im really starting to lose it.

If you see hit enter for factory reset (white screen) hit yes. It will enter the recovery. Twrp in this case.
