[Q] <SOLVED>Completely bricked korean ver F320s G2

Hey guys , my not so smart friend tryed to be smart and tryed to flash custom rom WITHOUT rooting, and WITHOUT any recovery :highfive:. Long story short the phone is bricked completely. Mainly it stuck in LG logo for a long time and sometimes it actually load the system but crashes after a few secs, again, to LG logo.
Is there any way to root the phone without going into the system( usb debugging etc)?
p.s.
tryed to do factory reset and the result as above.
Thank you in advance guys!
After 7 hours I found a solution to this insane situation. I never had to recover such a dead phone. No root, no recovery , no backup, no rom on the device. Any way Im proud of myself
If someone has the same problem I might be able to help!

Yeah, I told him to wait for my help (not that im a pro,but i had some experience rooting and installing roms on htc sensation and now on my galaxy 4)..
Any way, as we speak I am downloading stock rom and will try to use the flash tool but Im really doubtfull It will work as well.
Thank you for the answer!

After installing the driver, when the phone is powered off, no. When the phone turn on, no. When the operating system turns on, I dont know, not enough time (phone restarts after a few secs).
I do hear the indication sound from windows that something is connected but nothing turns up..

I did it! wow, took 7 hours ! :victory:
Just so you know how :
1. Need to be in fastboot mode
2.Do like in this thread with the CMDhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
3. Then basicly follow the steps here http://choimobile.vn/threads/huong-dan-cuu-soft-brick-lg-g2-f320s-l-k.12932.html
4. Whats important though I think is turn off your computers internet connection, dont know why, but it will fail otherwise.

Step By step
After you collect those DLL & TOT files, here's step by step :
1. Disconnect any internet connection
2. Set the computer time before Juli 15th, 2012 ( I set March 1st, 2012)
3. Double click LG Flashtool. Username, password, and Registration key are on the link #1 post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2396048
4. Insert DLL file in DLL column. Browse to where you put the DLL file.
5. Insert TOT file in Software column. Browse to where you put the TOT file.
6. Click OK
7. Click the GEAR icon, set only port #1 that ticked. Other ports are UNTICKED. Click OK.
8. Press & hold volume UP , while connecting the USB cable to your computer (set to DOWNLOAD MODE). Until the phone shows "DOWNLOAD MODE" on the center of the screen.
9. Open System Properties. Device manager ->Set COM port for LG Handset using port 41.
10. Click Arrow Right in LG Flashtool, disconnect USB cable for 5 seconds. Reconnect USB cable.
11. The FLASH process in progress, wait for 600 seconds and shows green background say "PASS".(In my case at around 86% The phone already worked, the flashtool still did his thing and failed at 90 something percent.Doesnt metter because phone works)
12. Disconnect USB cable and close the LG Flashtool application.

wow props to ya...how did u get the IMEI back?

Why kids messin with phones when they dont know what they doin .. aaahhh

[Q] Bell D803 constant re-boot

A bit of an SOS situation if anyone knows the right steps please
Well, I restored a Titanium Backup and mistakenly toggled the "restore system apk". It ran fine, all restored and then when I rebooted got stuck.
By "stuck", it re-boots constantly. It shows the LG animation, then all I can see is two messages before it starts booting again:
1) "Unfortunately, Google Play Services Has Stopped"
2) "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped
... and then it does the entire boot sequence, animation, again, and again.
Here is what I can do:
* It is in USB debug mode.
* I have drivers on laptop
* I am able to connect with adb and also shell into phone.
* With adb, I have output to the file an "adb bugreport" as well as an "adb logcat".
* I have several backups:
a) The modemsst1.img and modemsst2.img created by Titanium Backup
b) Titanium backups (full apps and data)
c) an "adb backup - all" backup
* I managed to get it into firmware update mode by pressing the volume up button and the power button and then when it flashed red a few times, just the up button. So, I can get it into Firmware update mode.
Of course, I have never really used adb before, except to dabble a bit. So, I am encouraged that I can somehow get into with shell.
I am not unplugging it until I know what to do!

Since then I have been able to turn the phone off and also put it into charging on USB.
This is what worked:
* Hold down power and volume down button until booting stops and phone turns off completely.​
When it does shut down, I kept buttons down until it flashes logo again and then shuts down again. Then I let go. Phone is off and when I plugged in the charger it shows charging animation.
Now, after inspecting the bugreport, I noticed a lot of these messages for all the system apps like this one:
"I/PackageManager(21318): Expecting better updatd system app for com.lge.sizech"​
I think the cause of all this shralp is this, I did a LG Mobile Support Tool "Upgrade Recovery" and then in Titanium Backup I restored an older backup (incl system apks). At least that makes sense seeing all the "Expecting better apdat system app" messages in the bugreport.
Still not sure what to do next

I tried the very good instructions here:
[Guide] Unroot/Unbrick - flash official factory firmware with LG Launche
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370
The update succeeded. However, when I rebooted the phone it is in the same boot-loop with message that it was before.
I used the BELL D803B10D_00.kdz file. Now I will try with the earlier version BELL D803BA_00.kdz file.
We will see what happens ...

do you have nandroid backup from previous rom?

I have three backups:
1) Titanium Backup (full)
* This was my first backup performed right after rooting device and installing Titanium Backup.
2) Titanium Backup (full)
* Did this 2 days ago. Device was working OK and did as precaution.
3) ADB BACKUP. I did this one before my Titanium restore.
I restored the first titanium backup and that (ooooppps!) was after I did an LG Firmware update.
ALSO:
I am on Windows 7 64 and although adb works fine, fastboot does not. I understand that might be a problem with windows 7 64.
So, unless anyone objects, I am going to redo on my windows 32 machine and also "fastbook oem unlock".
Since firmware is OK, if I do the fastboot oem unlock, that will wipe everything. But I can still boot and re-setip the phone, right?
Just checking before I fudge everything up here ..
ALSO ALSO:
I had antivirus/theft security installed and I disabled it partway through last restore.
Maybe that has somethng to do with this all .
But I am still cool because I can ADB and also firmware install seems ok.
ADB works and that is the one good sign.

I don't (didn't) have TWRP installed. How can I sideload without it?
Also, should I adb oem unlock to get it wiped at this point?

I'm having a similar problem on a Bell D803. Just happened very randomly today. I turned my phone off for an exam, then turned it back on after.. initially had no signal and a black background. Settings for factory reset wouldn't work. My phone is rooted and has TWRP. I went into recovery and formatted.
Bootloop.
Bootloop.
Bootloop x 20.
I however, don't get the same two messages. I just keep bootlooping.
Got home, tried to go through download mode to unbrick it, but for some reason my computer isn't picking it up. I have all the drivers, and before this incident, it was recognized.
Any solutions?
I'm thinking of buying an OTG USB and then just flashing a stock zip from recovery. Would that be a possible viable solution?

Well, I am able to connect with adb fine on my laptop (Win 7 64) but not on my desktop (Win 7 32)
But on my Win 7 64 I cannot get into fastboot.
I am wondering if the driver install on my desktop went foo-bar and needs reinstall. Also, I noticed that the website drivers are more recent USB drivers than some of the ones linked on this site.

I used adb uninstall package for many user packages and it was success. But I still see the packages listed in the bugreport?
For example: I already uninstalled "com.benhirashima.skiplock" and also "com.lookout".
Why? What to do to really zap them for good?

Sorry, I posted the wrong link earlier.
This was the guide I used which succeeded but made no difference to the boot-loop.

I have followed this to a t.
Succesfully flashed the stock firmware that came with the phone when sold.
Did hard reset using the the power button and volume down
= phone rebooting every 10 seconds, no wifi, imei = null
adb devices = offline.
Really depressed right now. If anybody can help me I would appreciate it.

Press the power button down and hold it.
It should turn off, then look like it is turning on, (flash logo very briefly) and then turn off.
Let go of power button and it should stay off.
Do that. Now, does it work to turn off completely?
Let's see if you can do that first.
Then .. do hard reset, exactly like this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ogBvzbPikc
Does the hard reset screen show and give you hard reset options?

Yup. I totally understand what you are saying and have done it many times. I had to use that method to get into download mode and also had to use it to do hard reset.
I just reflashed the phone all over again a second time succesfully.
Reboots every 5 seconds. Keyboard came up for a few seconds for the first time in 48 hours during the initial setup phase. 5 seconds later as I was trying to input a wifi code it would not appear. then it rebooted as usual.
I really appreciate any input right now. :cyclops::crying:

b) Does it give you the hard reset options?

1) Yes absolutely. It is sitting next to me right now doing nothing at all because I turn it off when I am not trying to fix it, otherwise it keeps rebooting relentlessly.
2) a) Yes, same as the video. b) Yes it says the same exact thing as the video. I press power key twice and it begins. The stock recovery android appears with a loading bar on the bottom for ~1 minute then it goes to the boot "lg animation".
3) Yes it was. Before it was bricked I essentially always had it in debug mode because I successfully rooted it and simply left it on debugging mode after having to activate it to root.
4) D801V11B_00.kdz The EXACT same as the original. This is a Videotron (canadian) phone. I can clearly remember without a doubt going into about phone and this is what it was running before all of this happened.
5) I am having a bit of memory strain here, but I do believe it also said adb devices before any of the issues came. It is a good point I will try "adb device" from another trusted computer.
Other notes: I can browse the android os for a few seconds. Sometimes sound does not work, wifi is non functional (even though the keyboard never appears, I managed to have a security free wifi in my proximity and it would not connect (was saying: temporarily avoiding bad signal)) and also I do have modemstat1.img and modemstat2.img backups for EFS.
adb devices consistently shows "offline" but it is definitely recognizing the phone. I have also tried using usb debugging activated and still "offline". Drivers are up to date and all.
The upper drawer in the usual g2 user interface is strange now. it doesnt have anything except for the date (1970 something...) and a "gear" icon for system settings. I am talking the drawer you drag down from the top of the screen.
This phone was working with absolutely no problems 2 days ago.
Thank you so much for looking into this. I have certainly exhausted my repairing capacities. I am entirely dependent upon the knowledgeable individuals in here from here on out.

Hmmmm..... why your adb devices is not working? But the re-pair works and you can then do hard reset.
But that is good information you shared.
Maybe someone else can chime in.
From my experience:
1) adb usb access seems spotty. My win 7 64 connected fine and it even kept the shell through the reboot cycle. But on my win 7 32 machine it was only detecting device and then not able to shell.
2) I was also able to use from the LG website LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOLS.
Download the LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL
I downloaded the most recent one from the LG website and make sure to select your options >> country and then the correct phone model at the upper right hand corner of the tool.
Then install USB driver for correct phone model.
Then see if USB works, "adb device" should return the device code.
"adb shell" should show the shell prompt.
3) There is always fastboot. But I an noob and know 0% about how to properly connect and use it.
Some others please chime in and help this droid bro!

1.-uninstall the drivers and programs lg l7 on your pc.
restart your pc, and reinstall all programs and drives
for your pc to recognize the phone.
2.-remove the battery, press the power button and volume + and connect the phone to the pc, buttons go into emergency mode
Try this a few times.
you may need to perform step 2 more times

why are you trying to enter emergency mode ?

Hi guys...
I may have made a stupid mistake, but I bought a G2 from a guy today that had it rooted, but messed it up by doing an official Verizon update on top of it, so it was in non working order. When I plugged the phone into the PC, a bunch of multiple letter drives from like E-S popped up saying that they all needed to be formatted. I've never seen anything like it, but this is what I did... I ran a command prompt using DISK PART to format the phone totally all over to one partition & figured that I could work the software out from there, but when I did that, EVERYTHING stopped woring on the phone. No PC recognized drivers, no power up, charging light or nothing! Tell me that there is a way around this...

Best way around this is to get your money back. SERIOUSLY!!!!!
Just Kiddint. there is a great tutorial that will restore your phone to stock but will also UNROOT.
http://theunlockr.com/2013/10/31/unroot-lg-g2-verizon/

If you can get into download mode you're slightly ok (from powered off hold vol up while plugging in usb from a charger) though it sounds like you may have wiped all of your partitions and some are important such as efs which contains information unique to your phone.
If download mode works try the return to stock sticky in the developer forum.

for download mode it's only hold volume up and plug in usb while its connected to pc or you can try this(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142) but you need to find the appropriate files and since yours is a different issues/problem you might also have different errors and such so try at your own risk

[Q] Hard Brick D800 - Please Help! At a loss

Any help is appreciated! First some background:
Flashed device to stock using KK 4.4 version d80020c following steps found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476. Successfully rooted using directions (and ioroot25) found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKuedInhdjU&noredirect=1.
Here's where I got into trouble...Downloaded TWRP 2.7 recovery img and flashed via Flashify. Since this step, my D800 has the exact same symptoms found on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142.
- No download mode (tried many times)
- No recovery (tried many times also)
- Secure booting error
- LG detected as qhsusb_bulk in device manager
- Device is recognized as 15 different drives, one of which contains a folder named image with 79 different files being .B0X files and Microsoft Access Add-in Data files
- Upon restarting, LG logo with secure booting error, then the screen goes black while your phone is still on
I've followed the steps in the thread that matches my G2's symptoms, run ubuntu 13.1 in VM, apply usb filters for my device which is then recognized as either LG Electonics Inc. QHUSB_BULK or Unknown Device 05C6:9006 when running in VM.
Upon running command ls /dev/sd* in VM Ubuntu Terminal, all that is returned is /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 which are the partitions for Ubuntu, no LG.
I've tried to download and update the Qualcomm drivers, device manager tells me that the drivers were recognized, but cannot be installed and do not pass the hash check (Note: PC is running Windows 8.1).
I've spent over 12 hours on this trying to fix this problem, researched and searched everywhere. If I could get ubuntu to recognize the device, I would be able to continue on with the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142.
Links for windows 8 qualcomm drivers, suggestions on how to get the device recognized in ubuntu vm, experiences from others in similar situation, or any with experience working with LG to get a repair done if I'm SOL (as in eMMC is fried) would be so helpful right now.
Thank you all!

After flashing recovery did you flash a patched kernel to boot stock kk?

I had the same, also with a lot of drives etc.
Screen is black but low backlighted?
Then try with pluged USB Cabel in Phone, hold Power button until screen is realy off, then hold the Power Up Button and plug Cabel into PC.
So I got download mode after I tryed many times

I had problems a few weeks ago getting mine to go into Download mode... turned out that the cable I was using was great for charging, but sucked for everything else. Once I switched to a different cable things worked fine and I was able to load D80010c on the device.
I was running D80020c this morning (with the D80010c boot.img to have a custom recovery) and decided to do an update. Since you can't load D80020k if you have the older bootloader I went all the way back to D80010c, updated to D80010o, D80010q, D80020c and finally D80020k. I was able to root that using IOroot and have restored everything back onto my phone.

Thanks so much for the responses! I've tried endlessly to get the device into download mode, and tried a new cable to no avail. Any other suggestions?

The URL you've linked to will help you solve your problem.
So once you power off your device, hold volume down and power till the lg logo shows, then release shortly and hold them again together till the white window with "factory reset appears", you should notice a text behind the white screen it's fine. So right now when you think it's gonna enter recovery mode the screen is gray(not black), now you connect your device to your ubuntu or whichever linux. You will notice the screen repeatelly blinking when linux is trying to automount the partitions. Figure out which device it is according to the messages it throws. (sdc, sdb, sdX)
This way you should proceed according to the instructions on the thread you linked.
d800 partitions are here

Still no luck

Thanks for your advice.
I got the white screen asking whether or not I want to perform a factory reset. If I choose No, the phone sends me right to the LG Logo with the error screen. If I choose Yes, it does the same thing. If I plug my phone into my computer while on the white screen asking if I want to perform a factory reset, the device isn't recognized and the PC doesn't see it as plugged in or mounted. I'm not sure what you mean by the timing of when I should try to plug in my device. Thanks again for all your help.

As soon as in the background of the white menu (factory reset) the secure boot appear plug it in. I'm not sure how much usb filter helps you(maybe it does) but try installing ubuntu over WUBI installer so your win remains. Or at least try ubuntu from usb stick. So you can know for sure if it's working.

Hi Sneaky E. I have the same issue you have. I'll be following your thread. If I figure anything out I'll let you know. I am also having an issue getting mine to charge now. Have you tried downgrading your TWRP?

VirtualBox Error
VirtualBox recognizes the device is plugged in, but won't allow me to push the device for use in linux. I keep getting this error message:
Failed to attach the USB device LG Electronics Inc. QHSUSB__BULK to the virtual machine Ubuntu.

I've tried all USB ports, 2.0 and 3.0. I feel like if I can get past this there should be no reason linux can't see the partitions in the phone. Please Help!!!

Ok so thank you for your help so far. I was able to install Linux on a USB drive and ran the commands and pushed appropriate files from there. I pushed all files including recover.img but the phone will not boot into recovery. Please help!
Thank you!

you are not alone dude. i had the same issue since sunday and i have spent almost 46 hours already trying to restore my LG G2 F320S korean model.
i followed that instruction in linux, everything went well but then I ended up with a phone not going past the LG logo. the screen no longer dims like how it used to with the secure boot fail error. again, it stucked at the LG logo and thats it.
pressing the 3 buttons though for 5 seconds shows a white screen with 3 options and a bar code under.
but all of these options will just take me back to the LG logo.
I went to a phone technician today, and they said the doing a JTAG fix is the only way to resolve the problem because after trying to fix it with linux, it is no longer identified by my PC.
what are your solutions so far?
anyways before this issue came up, i tried to flash TWRP using flashify, it failed. then went back up. tried to update the OS via OTA then thats it.
i home someone could help us out.

if your device is insured maybe report it lost and pay deductible and get a new one AND NEVER ROOT AGAIN
