[Q] Soft-brick? ADB sees the phone.

Hello guys, I have a problem with this phone.
First I flashed the euro+fastboot kdz... The phone booted and worked awesome but It wasn't showing recovery or LG logo.
Somewhere on this forum I read that you had to flash v10c and then v20B to fix this.
I did so, v10c failed, but v20B flashed correctly, but it didn't boot up.
I'm still stuck here, the phone is completely dark, but when I connect it to the pc I can see it with ADB, It just doesn't go into fastboot mode (because of v20B I guess). But flashing the euro kdz won't work anymore, and I'm stuck in ADB without fastboot.
Hope you guys can help me,
Juxter.

Thumbs up solution to get logo
solution from 4PDA
flash first french firmware _hxxp://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/GT540/ANEUBK/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz
(you must make kdz flasher fullscreen and change right option to CS_EMERGENCY)
dont boot android , remove accu reinsert them and press vol - and plug usb cable into port on mainboard - you must get in download mode )
flash firmware with fastboot (i use CIS _hxxp://narod.ru/disk/26675062000/V20B_00.kdz.html)
boot android and flash this firmware _hxxp://narod.ru/disk/25473801000/out.kdz.html
after this you must see all logo ( LG , Motion LG , Android )
after this flash firmware you like (custom fastboot e t с)
maybe some point is not needed but this tutorial work 100% and tested by myself

So after 4 5 6 or maybe 10 times, it will finally become working, that's what you're saying?
This is really odd, something's wrong with these phones lol
Okay, i'll load myself with a ton of patience and repeat the steps as per the instructions. This is *exactly* how i am doing it, with all the details:
1) Using the French v20A ROM - http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/GT540/ANEUBK/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz and this Russian one - http://narod.ru/disk/25473801000/out.kdz.html
2) Take out the battery, SIM card and SD card
3) While holding the Vol - button, plug USB into phone so that the phone goes into Download Mode
4) Run the KDZ Updater, put it into CS_Emergency mode
5) Select the French V20A rom and flash it
6) When it's finished (immediately after the DOWNLOAD MODE letters vanish), i pull out the USB plug from the PC, so that the phone doesn't boot.
7) Again hold Vol - and reinsert USB to put the phone back in Download Mode
8) In KDZ Updater (still in CS_Emergency mode) select out.kdz and flash it
9) Let the phone boot into Android
At this point i STILL don't have a boot animation, should i keep doing this until i see one appear?
When it (if) finally appears, i just flash my own ROM, do a factory reset and it should stay that way, correct?
I guess my impossibility to access recovery mode also has something to do with this...

Note: For above step: 1) Using the French v20A ROM
-- as long as you have the ROM of v20 with fastboot option, it doesn't really matter.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, I actually fixed it following this:
hxxp://modaco.com/topic/329863-how-to-raise-gt540-from-the-dead/
Once I got fastboot with that cwm.kdz I reflashed a fastboot rom, and from that one I could use the KDZ updater again, following the French kdz procedure...
The phone now is fully working recovery and bootanimations again

D802 bricked after Lollipop update

Hello, today i tried to flash from recovery this lollipop zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/rom-stock-30d-flashable-zip-t3070383 and flashed immediately TWRP also.
Now when i boot up the device I get a critical demigod error screen from which I can enter Download mode.
So i tried to install v30a .kdzwith flashtool but the installation fails...
Any suggestions? D:
I can only get to download mode, the phone is correctly recognized from the pc and LG Mobile Support Tools sees the device but with SW OPTIMUSG3 1.4.1 (the rom i had when I flashed Lollipop)!

As said above, you should try .tot method; I was like you, .kdz didn"t work, but .tot method works perfectly. You'll be on 4.2.2, 'cause .tot method only support 4.2.2 version of android on D802, but you can upgrade after with .zip rom or re-try .kdz method.
Check second part of this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 ( "2015 (updated with pictures) TOT method" ).
Yeah, final thing: if, after .tot method you're stuck in bootloop, factory reset your phone (power off, then volum down + power key, wait for LG logo, release buttons, then volum down + power key again, and your phone should work like a charm). Let us know if it work!

do tot methot and it wil work follow this instructions get the tot files and the right dll i copy paste from a guy that had optimus and worked like this on him
"My problem was the infamous 2% bug with the KDZ. I think reason for this is the wrong device ID set in the 'build.prop' by the G3 rom for the G2. The flash tool expects a G2 but sees a G3.
I did not find a workaround for this BUT there is one for the TOT method. You will need:
- LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN312AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.1 2.3.exe (version does not matter)
- Setup_LGFlashTool_1.8.1.1023.exe - for flashing of a TOT
- LGUP_8974.dll - this is needed for the flash tool to accept all TOTs
- the right TOT for your device
Please google these, I just checked and found them all. You can also find instructions for them.
Install drivers and LGFlashTool then start it.
Start smartphone in download mode by holding the volume up key while plugging USB in PC. Phone must be off.
Wait for the device recognition then change COM port of the new device in Windows device manager to something between 41-56 so that the flash tool can find the phone. In the model config window of the flash tool select the 'manual mode' then enter the path to the downloaded LGUP_8974.dll in 'DLL' and the path to your TOT file in 'S/W'. Set 'Action mode' to 'BOARD DL' then press 'OK'.
Your phone should be shown on selected COM port. Now you can press Start (the arrow).

No, do not rename file; it's .exe BUT when you'll double-click on it, it gonna launch winrar automatically; I was "scared" too, but it works pretty good don't worry. (Sorry I'm late, but I'm french, and there is jetlag between you and me...)

Ok guys! The TOT method worked Then I flashed v30a kdz and it works perfectly!
As you said the problem was that flashtool didn't recognise the G2 (probably it saw it as G3) so it keeps stopping at 2%.
Thank you all for the help :highfive:
Ps no jetlag I'm from Italy ;p

Lg g2 stuck at logo. No download /recovery

Dear sir,
I'm having lg g2 32gb D802T. I tried rooting my device with king root app, uninstalled google play books app. Later removed root access and uninstalled the king root app.
Then whenever I reboots my phone , it started showing critical error.
Then I tried resetting my phone. It ended up with boot loop.
Then I tried flashing kitkat stock rom of D802T kdz file through LG flash tool 2014. But it's stuck at 40%. From then it's showing multiple removable drives in system, asking for format.
Then I tried copying twrp recovery and other IMG files through linux dd commands. Then it's boot logo is also gone and ended up with only blank screen whenever I starts my phone.
Then I tried un brick using SRK tools. And files were copied.
Now it's showing boot logo and going blank dark screen in on condition. The following were also observed.
1. Still showing as Qhsusb bulk mode with many removable drives asking for format.
2. Not getting download mode, when connected to pc with volume up button in hold.
3. When connected to charger with power button in hold condition, it's notification LED is blinking in red.
4. When I tried with power+ volume down keys it's showing a reset screen. Asking for reset options yes/ no.
When I tried reset with yes. It's again going blank.
Please help in getting my device normal.
Thanks and regards
IN V RAO

I got solution for this.
I got my phone back to life.
As my phone is in qhsusb_bulk mode, i tried SRK tools for copying boot, aboot,laf....etc .img files to the respective partitions.
Previously I tried this method as it is... Without changing anything came in the SRK tools package.
Today i tried extracting the Lollipop variant KDZ of my LG G2 D802T and copied the files of boot, aboot, laf, recovery ......etc .img files from the extracted lollipop and replaced the same files in SRK Tools D802 folder..
LG firmware files can be downloaded from here
http://lg-kdz-firmware.com/lg-g2-firmware/36.html
*Renamed the extracted files with same name present in the SRK Tools respective folder. And changed extension from .bin to .img by renaming
Then I followed the SRK tools method.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/tools-mini-srk-tool-d802-t3098163

I did an ota update and got stuck on twrp . Cant restore cause theres no file on the phone. I tried to do LG flashtool but computer won't recognize the phone since it wont connect. I then tried to connect a usb flash drive with the kdz file in it via OTG to the phone but no luck unless TWRP doesn't read .KDZ. I then used LG firmware extract tool to convert the KDZ file to.bin and rename the files to.img but TWRP still not able to install. How does ADB or terminal command work? I do see both options on TWRP but how do I start off? Please help

Try that adb method.. it may work.. as you're getting twrp

Thank you so much invrao!
I thought my beloved G2 would be unsaveable when SRKtool fixing option didn't help but replacing the files and renaming them as you suggested worked
If anyone needs the Qualcomm drivers send me a PM - they were very hard to find.

[HELP] Soft bricked smartphone

Hi everyone,
For some stupid reason a reset the file system i now I'm stuck in the LG logo.
1. I can enter in download mode - in Device manager the PC recognized as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (41)
2. I can enter in recovery mode (Cyanogenmod recovery, which is very based) - in Device manager the PC recognized as Android ADB Interface
So far, so good. BUT. I'tried to flash the phone with LG FlashTool 2014 and i'm stuck at 2%. Ok, i was tried the fix with FixedDownloadcmode.bat, but when nothing is uploading on the phone (which by ADB is recognized as sideload when i'm in recovery mode and apply the ADB connection). I tried to push by ADB but nothing is uploading - error: protocol.......
LGUP recognized my phone as unknown, so this method is not working now.
Via ADB i can't send even TWRP recovery, which is so much flexible than cyanogenmod recovery.
I will be thankful for any help from your side.
Thank you in advance!

I had a very similar problem with it getting stuck at the logo after pushing supersu to the phone. I followed Supersport every single step of the way in his video. I think his links are the only valid ones online now, so just download them and reflash your phone. If your G2 is anything like mine, drivers will never appear to be installed correctly and it never restarts, only shuts down.
His method is:
1) Download and install LG drivers on PC
2) Download and install the flash tool and patch it
3) Download and load the .tot and .dll files into the flash tool
4) Enter download mode on G2 by holding volume up while connecting USB
5) Switch G2 Com port to 41 in device manager
6) Once Flash tool shows that all ports are ready, power down G2 and disconnect
7) Hold volume up and reconnect to get back into download mode
8) LG Flash tool starts flashing
9) Complete
Note: If your G2 was screwed up as bad as mine, it'll say failed but all the main system files will load to the device before it restarts and it'll even shut itself off while doing it's installation on first reboot. Mine somehow was still revived from this state with his method.
