So flashing .tot did or did not allow you to boot? When you say you can't get data this may be because you're efs partition has been wiped, in which case there is nothing you can do but send it back.

so you're saying that when we backed up our efs it was pointless?
theres a way to restore it, as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451390
if youre stuck in fastboot, then you can fix that, and in theory if you still have(had) custom recovery, you could in theory flash an efs restore, one made from the skeleton of another. you can also, maybe, use adb to clunk it over, but im still working on that one. my phone has the restored .tot and it crashes right after boot and the freegee app(SOMEONE TELL THE DEV HE'S RTARTED) needssss internet to open, and it is IMPOSSIBLE. to connect to internet with a bad efs, wifi will not work, along with the radios. so to sum up my situation, i have a phone that turns on, turns back off, and repeats.

Well yes of course if you made a backup, then restore it. I was assuming that this was not the case.
Is there any way for you to get into recovery? I have not ran into any problem like the one you are encountering, and by the looks of it if a .tot wasn't able to fix it, your best bet may be to send it in and have someone look at it.

Stuck in fastboot mode
I have no clue what happened to my LG G2 (Sprint LS980). I rooted it just fine and installed AutoRec to install TWRP and it said everything was fine and when it restart it was stuck in fastboot mode. I've tried everything that I've read online and Youtube but no success. It won't go into recovery mode or download mode. I tried to do a hard reset but it said there was an error and it goes right back to the fastboot screen. I have, however, gotten my PC to recognize it as a harddrive (D. When I hold the Up key and plug in the USB it says download mode but the screen goes black, BUT my PC recognizes it as a Qualcomm MMC USB Mass Storage drive. What do I do now?

If touch screen doesnt work I dont think you can.

I have the exact same problem. After the latest update on my black tmobile G2 (d801), my touchscreen does not work at all. I had to get an OTG cable and connect a mouse to it to unlock the screen and do anything w/ the phone. Have done a factory wipe, as well as reflashed multiple different images, including reverting back to stock. Nothing works.

I found some programs that can make you control your mobile though PC but all of it needs a client to be installed on the phone, is there anyway to bypass this client or give a command to unlock the screen , wifi is turned on the mobile?

[Q] Please Help!! Flashed wrong version of software!

Hi guys. I had a 32gb G2 and i was able to root it, upgrade it to 4.4 and use it without a hitch.
Today i got another one (16gb version) and flashed a kitkat rom i had around without stopping to check if it was 16 or 32gb (i forgot they had this difference). Well, now i got phone that i cannot use (im stuck at the SIM card PIN). What happens is that the screen is erratic. i click 2 and it registers 7...i click 5 and it selects simultaneously 123 and so on. basically i cannot pass this screen to enable all the good stuff.
Is there any way i can solve this?
I have a LG G802.

Boot without SIM card, connect to USB and transfer correct ROM. Boot into recovery, flash proper ROM. If you can't boot without SIM card you can probably use adb push to just push the ROM onto the sdcard and then reboot to recovery + flash.

Ok. will implement & report

My problems just keep getting worse.
Since i wanted to go full stock i ended up downloading a kdz file a nd followed the tutorial on http://unbrick.itcse.com/unbrick-soft-bricked-lg-g2/
well...that didnt work. the process initiated and somewhere along the way the app stopped, and the only thing i could undestand was a "EMERGENCY something". After like 1hr with nothing happening, i unplugged the phone and got some corrupted partitions.
I then turned to the tutorial on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 ...but damn! i cant reboot properly. now all the phone does is boot up to the lg logo and nothing else happens. windows doesnt detect it, linux doesnt detect it and adb doesnot detect it. am actually crying now....IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SOLVE THIS?....im kinda desperate here. This is a brand new phone!

Removing USB connection while flashing

Hi all,
I have a serious problem with my G2 which I could not solve: I used the new LG Flash Tool 2014 with stock KDZ file, everything was going just fine till I received an error message that LG server is not available, I disconnected the USB cable by mistake from my G2 and afterward I saw that it was in the middle of flashing process (12% was completed). I turned it off and tried to reach download mode again and nothing!, I'm receiving the "LG" logo and nothing- the screen goes black (it is still on).
I tried also to connect my phone to the computer- I received a list of 13 "new" local disks "H" to "T", only "H" disk is available and it's showing "image" folder with list of files.
I cannot reach "download mode", nothing is working!
I hope this is not the end for my G2..
please help me
Thank you so much!

If you could receive all those hard disks then you could maybe fix it with linux/ubuntu if you have it. Search for guides to cOpy the neccesary stuff bacK like the bootloader. I can't really help you atm as i am too sleepy.

Thank you for your reply. I found this on the sticky threads: "[FIX] NO Recovery mode, No download mode, after OTA on rooted LG G2".
I installed ubuntu and followed the instructions. when I type the following: "gdisk -l /dev/sde" I receive an error message:
"GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.5.1
NOTE: Write test failed with error number 13. It will be impossible to save
changes to this disk's partition table!
Problem opening /dev/sde for reading! Error is 13
You must run this program as root or use sudo!"
My device is not rooted, is this the problem?
Please help me!!
Thanks

@NNCa It says you need to run the program as root on ubuntu.
Just use sudo in front of the commands.
You need to type once your password to use sudo, you can't see the password if you enter it for safety I guess but just click enter after you typed ykur password.

Hi,
I powered off my phone by pressing volume down + power for a while ("LG" logo blinked once and phone was fully powered off).
I pushed volume down + power till I saw the LG logo, released it, and pushed again- and finally I reached the Factory Hard Reset screen. I have pushed 3 times the power, and I have got "Factory reset processing..." and nothing is appeared, even when I'm pushing several times on power again.
I guess this is the end of my G2 :crying:
Thank you all for your support, this is an excellent forum!:good::good:

Nope it isn't the end try to install the recovery again or try to push the custom twrp recovery again to the right partition! Dont give up that fast when i hear your things then its still fixable! you already got the factory reset processing so try to Push the Recovery again and search for an guide about recovery maybe Then you would probably get your device fixed.
Just read my things about simplicity so think easy and you can fix it. AND STAY POSITIVE You will repair your phone today :good:

Yes, I checked it- no response during connecting/disconnecting the device..
Maybe I did a mistake when trying to push those image files.. I guess there is nothing I can do to fix my phone..
Do you have any other suggestions?

Can someone please help me. How can I get to the LG device- Is there another software I can use to flash files into this device?
Thanks

Sorry for late reaction but i needed to think of something. Did you tryed to use another cable? Did you tryed to do it on another pc? Did you tryed to maybe install LG PC suite and see if it gets recognized? If you have the PC Suite you may need to turn it off in the LG flashtool idk. Can you tell us more like which windows you have?

Hi,
I tried all you suggested, however my devide is not recognized. I tried to use the LG PC Suite and to flash by IMEI, however it is still saying that no device was connected.. I checked windows device manager, and nothing changed there.
There is any chnage I can see my connected device? use some tool or another software?
Thank you again for your patience and help!

Hi, sorry to say but you have unfortunately completely hardbricked your device. It happened to me too however I was able to get it replaced under warranty at no extra cost.
What happened was that when your phone was still detected by linux, you had a chance to recover by flashing the correct partitions to gain access to download mode and from there, flash a KDZ to go back to complete stock. However, the files you used were probably incompatible with your variant which has now corrupted your bootloader sequence. I suggest you read this reply by fizzy177 as well as the rest of the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51522304&postcount=118
So right now, you cannot do anything as you have already found out, no computer will recognise that your phone is plugged in. Your phone fails to boot when you try enter the download mode and it just freezes on the splash screen which looks like this: http://www.lg-phones.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/image2.png
What's meant to happen is your phone should load past that initial splash screen into this http://www.androiddunya.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/LG-G2-DownloadMode.jpg which accepts KDZ flashing and warns the device has been rooted.
So it's a blessing that your phone cannot boot as LG cannot find out you have voided warranty and you will be able to get a replacement free of charge.

Issue was solved- device was fixed under warranty
Hi,
I just want to update you all that my device was fixed under warranty! (motherboard replacement)
Thank you all for help and great support, this is a great forum with great community :good::good:

Hello
From past 2 weeks i am wondering on internet for a solution . Hours and hours of surfing and articles but still
Hope some one solve this issue.
Okay. First i m using LG G2 F320 K update to lollipop . Non rooted. It was working fine . I can transfer files in MTP .
But about a month ago i get an update for my phone . And after some days i need to transfer some files to my phone , i wonder when i connected my phone to computer nothing happened . No notification on mobile for changing PTP MTP option . Also nothing happened in Computer device manager..
From that day i am unable to connect my phone with windows 10. It always charging mobile.
I uninstalled all drivers in device manager and installed from LG website. I updates windows N and NK MTP update from windows for windows 10.
I changed different data cables and different computers and different ports . All stuff i can do. Still no luck.
When ever i plug USB data cable it always put my Mobile on Charging . No notification on Mobile. Also i go in setting > storage> and there is no option in upper right corner to select USB PC connection .
I am in developer mode and debugging mode is on also. Also USB tethering option is Disabled .
Kindly some one help me regarding this.
LG G2 F320K updated to stock Koren lollipop 5.0.1 . Non root.( i updated lollipop in April 2015)
Issue i am facing is no notification for Charging/ MTP/PTP Usb Debugging on mobile notice bar when i attach my phone using USB cord with computer. Also in computer device manager nothing happen. Even i checked on windows 10 , 8.1, 8, 7 .
I remember it was working like charm 4 weeks before I can change MTP PTP or Charge only mode by selecting notification when i attach it to my laptop. I can transfer files can use LG PC suit .
Then i received an software update like 40 mb and i updated my mobile. That i remembered.
After that 2 weeks before i need to transfer some books from laptop to my mobile. When i plugged my device there no notification to select MTP mode . Also there is nothing happened in my windows 10. I looked in task manager. No yellow icon in computer task manager for driver thing.
Laptop is just silent and mobile is just on charging .
Then i go to setting in LG and looked for USB PC connection settings. I wonder there is nothing . Settings > storage > 3 dot in upper right corner.. it suppose to be there . But here is no 3 dot in storage. Then i looked into share and networks in android setting and i found that USB tethering. But its faded mean it is disabled and i am unable to use this feature also.
I tried on different computers different cables , original, but nothing. Always when i plug usb mobile went on charging and in all computers nothing happen in device manager.
USB debugging is on.. I factory reset device 2 times. but useless. Also i uninstall all drivers from my laptop and then reinstall drivers from LG website also i tried google drivers , ABD, different ports. Nothing nothing happen.
Also now if i try put mobile on download mode by turning device off and then push + vol button and then put cord in mobile . No download mode also it went on charging. Well charging from laptop or from charger is okay.
Hope i explain all.

lg g2 trying to unroot

Hello all,
usually i deal with my problems by searching the forum, though this time i am really worried as i cant find anything to my help.
You see something went bad with the screen and because the phone is rooted, i cant get it fixed (it is still in warranty), nor can i use it (the touch sucks).
So i am trying to get it unrooted.
So i have downloaded LG mobile support tool and the drivers, i enter the phone to download mode and nothing happens. i get all the time errors. Also, in the lg mobile support tool, i see a software update. Should i do it? I cant though because the start upgrade button is greyed out, and the "LGD802" sign on the left pane is flushing like its trying to verify my g2. Also, should i wait for like 10 minutes or so when i enter download mode for the bar seen at the phone to be completed before the whole process? Lastly, the most of times the lg mobile support tool crashes on the pc.
Please help me folks... :/

Where did you buy it, it sounds like the symptoms of a frankenphone. There is a post about it, some sellers flash d802 firmware on a d800 and it causes similar problems with screen, IDK about the LG mobile flash tool.

If you are brave enough you could try taking it apart and swabbing all the conections, I don't know if that would help but some people say it helps them. And the screen could just be faulty, you never no, before I took it apart I would try reflashing rom, doing the stock touch firmware update thing, then if it still don't work try flashing a kdz for the model number physically inside your phone not the one in the system info, and then I would take it fully apart, and put it back together then if it don't work, replace the screen.

the thing is i cant really interact with the screen to reflash the rom, its inresponsive. and my lg mobile support tool randomly crashes i hook my phone up the pc and it starts the download drivers part

Try a different computer, you could use a USB otg cable to hook a mouse up to your phone if your having issues with touch screen to reset it.

try in different pc and differenrt dll
