Rooted my LG G2 (ATT) recently. Yesterday i got an error on bootup stating that system UI has crashed.. After that all hell broke loose. Phone when powered on only boots into the TWRP, friend thought he could "fix" the issue by doing a format on the device.. FML. SO now when trying to get into download mode to perform the Stock Rom/Unbrick process it just won't allow me to do anything. It just keeps booting into TWRP.
My laptop has all drivers needed, but phone won't be detected by my laptop..
Anyway how i can get my LG back to stock & working? Didn't have a custom rom or anything, only the Camera Mod which never gave issues..
The system UI came on before i did the Camera Mod by the way..

Holding volume up & plugging in usb cable boots into TWRP.. Holding both vol down & up, while plugging in USB makes device stick on LG logo screen..
Hehe i have same Problem
Flash a Rom
start at the recovery, go to Advanced, then Terminal Command, press Select,use this code,
dd if=/dev/Zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Copy a Rom on a USB stick and install it in TWRP via OTG, run back into TWRP and enter this line
start at the recovery, go to Advanced, then Terminal Command, press Select,use this code,
dd if=/dev/Zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
That should solve your problem, for me it just works
Only in this way can be turned off Trwp as default and the phone boots normally
Good Luck!

Have you tried to use the "sideload" option to see if you can load a rom onto it yet? This requires that your computer sees your phone with the correct drivers and adb working too.
Did you try to do a complete wipe/reboot and see if you can get into download mode?
If none of those methods work then I'm not sure what to tell you. I ran into two problems only so far.
First one was when I accidently wiped everything and had to sideload a rom onto my phone.
Second, I took the OTA update and had the bootloop TWRP problem which was solved by using the LG Flash tool to flash the stock Sprint rom onto my phone by following the directions for the Verizon Method but used a Sprint rom and dll file.
If you can't sideload a rom or get into download mode then you have a major problem there but it could be just that you've overlooked something.

Copy a Rom to Usb and install the Rom via Usb/Otg Cable,it is self to install from internal Storage.You can Select OTG or internal Storage in Recovery to install the Rom.Its easy,I can Backup or install Roms on Otg.

nope doesn't work.. Won't connect to PC... It did before fine.. Sideload is stuck at loading screen or something. I'll try loading rom onto USB & from usb to phone once i get an adapter for USB Female to Micro USB.
He got out.
I was stuck in the bootloop for about 6 hours before I realized I had the correct dll, and tot file, the correct utility from LGE, and I turned the noodle of a brick into a "unbranded" phone temporarily, until sprint came to the rescue, and branded everything back from the production image I loaded just earlier. I just wanna say this... DO NOT PLAY WITH PHONE DIALER CODES MEANT FOR THE KOREANS WHO TEST YOUR PHONE!!!
You can brick that **** fast as hell. TWRP kept coming in, and I didn't know how to deal with adb sideload, or the basic dd command to get things back to download mode. Now I have a real working knowledge of recovering from an otherwise hopeless state. Take your time, and explore slowly.
Your mileage may vary, just sayin'

I experienced this situation for a while.
The solution is doing a normal procedure to install custom rom from USB.
Just copy custom rom to USB, choose advanced wipe, then wipe dalvik, cache, data, and system. Then install custom rom in USB, and, reboot phone after installation finished.
Phone should be back to normal again.

***i try second one but i jusy says:dd: can't open '/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota': No such file or directory. :crying: ***
Okay, this is must be my first thread since I join this lovely forum.
So here is the deal, this is my previous phone that I gave to my sister not so long ago, she has this not-so-bright wise *ss who try to fix her G2.
Sadly, he flashed the wrong rom, this is LG F320L and I think he flashed with F320K (based on error message that I got from the LG Flash Tool when I try to fix it)
This is the story so far :
1. the first time i got it on my hand (after get wrong-flashed that is ) :
- the phone is cannot boot, it stucked on black screen with fastboot command, try to go to recovery but not working, keep going to fastboot screen
- but i can still go to download mode (if I press vol UP while connect it to my PC) but somehow my PC will not recognize it
2. So I browse so many tutorial here and I end up erase and then reflash the stock recovery via cmd fastboot command, I'm 100% sure that I flashed the correct stock recovery file
- the process kinda work, the phone is able to go to recovery screen now although still cannot boot to system
- i still can go to download mode but the PC still didn't recognize it
- however, now the phone is being recognize by my PC if i plug the phone (without pressing anything on the phone), but gave me error code on the MTP driver
3. So next step I try to flash it via kdz method, didn't work of course, since my download mode won't be recognize, and then i also try to flash it via TOT method, also fail (again)
Note : on TOT method I try to flash it while NOT on download mode, since it will not recognized, it gave me error message that i try to cross flash or something. It says that I try to flash F320K to F320L (hence I assume that my sister's boyfriend flashed the wrong rom and got bricked)
also please note that while i'm did this i already make sure that i change the port setting to port 41
So now i stucked here, without the working download mode that can be recognized by my PC i think i'm start to running out of option to fix this phone
Please point me to the right direction good people of xda, please, thank you in advance

Okay, so at this moment does the device try to mount quite a lot of partitions? Also does it give any errors on the screen if you power on without trying to boot to download mode or recovery? Ideally we want to see something along the lines of security error.

thanks for your reply, i really appreciate it
well, you're right, it does give me errors when i power on (without trying to go to download mode or recovery mode)
so when i power it on, it shows LG logo then the image goes like corrupt, at first it kinda like shaking then it went blur and last it disappearing, leave the screen into just blank screen.
but my PC recognize it on this moment, just the MTP driver that wasn't
about your first question i'm afraid i can't catch what that means

Hmmm. okay, so what does the pc recognize it as exactly in device manager? Also if you connect the device do you get several pop ups stating that the mounted device needs to be fixed? It's just that if the partitions are being mounted we can reflash them manually using DD commands with ubuntu.

Right, you need to follow this guide i think. Ensure your read it fully before you attempt anything. Now, the lollipop update apparently changed some partitions so I would flash the bumped twrp from the development section instead of the 2.6.3.2 version recommended. Then once you can boot into recovery flash the rom recommended in this post

okay, i just checked on disk management and it appear that my PC doesn't recognized the G2, what makes it weird, at the same time it recognizes the G2 on device manager on ports (COM & LPT) on port 41, about the adb yes, i do believe i did that long time ago, though i forgot what was my intention of doing so

Hmmm. im stumped. I think its a bit of a catch 22 here. What i think has happened is that the rom flash that was done has changed some of the partition layout, but the methods of fixing that issue is either with DD commands from a custom recovery (which you dont have and cannot flash) or with DD commands using ubuntu when the device is auto-mounting all of your partitions. Its worth a look if you have an ubuntu disk around, if not download here, burn to disk or mount it to a bootable usb and see if ubuntu has any luck with it. Either that or try installing any drivers you can on the pc to get download mode working.
there is also this as a last resort but i've never had to do this so i cannot vouch for it :-/ Good luck pal.
Yeah, i do these.
I used these tool >> https://doc-04-5c-docs.googleuserco...27034/0B_Hol5T47S-benVFYWIxcGlQU0k?e=download

Hey everyone!
Just a few days after ordering a different phone which should get here tomorrow, I managed to drop my N4 and shatter the screen. The screen 'works' but the digitizer's broken below the crack so I can't get past the lock screen. I'm running Cyanogen mod and I honestly just want to get a few files off and update a few things onto drive so I can move to my new phone.
I was really hoping USB OTG would work, but I tried an external mouse with the right cable and the cursor wasn't showing up.
I don't think I have debugging mode enabled unless it carries forward if you update cyanogen. I do have CWM recovery 6.0.5.1. I tried mounting the drives through this, but it sadly didn't show up.
Is there any way I can enable USB OTG or get the files off without replacing the screen assembly? I tried using ADK Studio but I couldn't even get the command prompt open... If anyone has a link to a good walkthrough for this or suggestions for what I can do I'd be really grateful. Is there any way to force the USB OTG driver onto the phone? If I can use a USB keyboard/mouse combo to get everything off that would be the simplest way I think. Or if there's some way to get into the phone and have the display show up through my monitor, then that'd be great too.
Thanks a lot. I really appreciate any help.
You could try flashing twrp in place of cwm to mount the data partition.

I can hit mount and unmount through CWM but nothing seems to happen. Nexus shows up as an empty device.
How would i flash TWRP at this point? Is there a way to push a zip into the phone if I can't get into it?

If your physical buttons work then simply boot into fastboot by holding volume down and power and flash a TWRP recovery via fastboot. I've never had luck with CWM when it comes to reading files. TWRP opens up Android File Transfer right away on my Macbook when I connect it (Should do the same for Windows, not sure what OS you use)

This seems promising, but how would I get it in via fastboot? Sorry I've never used fastboot before, but use the power+vol down command pretty often.
Would that also allow me to flash in the zip for USB otg once I'm in?

Ok, you will want to be on your computer to do this. Download the latest TWRP recovery, which is here, you'll want to download the twrp-3.0.0-0-mako.img at the top of the list. You'll then have to open up fastboot in terminal/command prompt, and when you boot into your bootloader by holding volume down+power, connect your N4 and first I would type fastboot devices to make sure that your computer is recognizing that it's attached. Next type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.0-0-mako.img and afterwards use the volume buttons to navigate and reboot to recovery. From there see if it connects to your computer and you can view files and if not, move forward with the USB otg. I have no experience with USB otg so I can't help you there, but hopefully this helps out at the very least!

Take a watch through this entire video, it's the most in depth one I can find that actually gives examples on things dealing with ADB and of course Fastboot. Make sure that the recovery .img is in the same directory that the fastboot prompts are in. If I didn't use OS X I'd walk you through it myself but I apologize there because I know the setup and way you enter commands is slightly different on Windows xD
Thank you! I'll give it a try!

I have finals next week so I was going to give it a try afterwards or if I get a study break. I'll definitely keep you posted on this thread though.
Thanks again!
Hello I have a "a2017u" model, without a working touchscreen. I need to sent it in for a warranty repair. can anyone explain to me how to restore the device, currently it has twrp+lineage os. I CAN'T use the touchscreen, however you can see everything, only touch doesn't work. I really need help since this is my only phone and I'm borrowing one.
So where are you getting stuck?
I don't think you need to use the screen for anything.

I tried to use axon 7 toolkit, I run the check under option one and get this message.
So I don't know what's happening

EDIT: Some guy gave me an awesome idea: Use an OTG adapter and a USB mouse on TWRP. From there you can install some zips, I don't know anything about A2017s but you can look for guides on how to get to stock (not mine though)
Right. If you have an SD card I think you can:
- find a stock recovery.img, use fastboot to install it to recovery (fastboot flash recovery yourfile.img)
- then wipe data/factory reset with the stock recovery
- install an official system zip with your sdcard
You have a Chinese version phone so I don't have any recovery zips for that, sorry. If you can, look for the recovery img and send the link of where you got it here.
Axon7toolkit is a little bit too hardcoded, it needs adb first, then from ADB it boots to fastboot, then from there it boots a twrp img...
Well that's a no go. Besides the fact it refuses to show the mouse. It just doesn't work. I did manage to get to the desktop. But parts of the digitizer work and then it goes crazy clicking things on its own.
Chinese version? Mines the American. Zte a2017u

Then why did you write A2017 in the title and the OP?? Change that

Okay there may be an easier way. Try putting your phone in FTM mode (while off, hold Vol down + power) and a message that says FTM mode should appear. Now try axon7toolkit.
Or, if you have an USB mouse and an OTG adapter, enable USB debugging and connect your phone to the PC. Then use axon7toolkit
hi; rank amateur here. i unlocked my 6p which went with no problems and then installed trwp, now it just boots to the google logo. i can get to fastboot and twrp but my linux pc no longer sees the phone. i suspect the phone is in charge mode. can i use recovery, > terminal to turn on data transfer so i can load and flash a new os? i was looking at loading a zip to a sd card but i had to order an adapter from c to type a usb. thanks
@dr1445 Have you tried a factory reset? I'm not how Linux works but if I'm remembering correctly I think Windows installed additional drivers after I unlocked the bootloader. This is a bit old but looks like people are still using might find something useful.
yes i did try a factory reset but the same result. as for the the linux pc i used it to unlock the 6p and other phones, i just need to toggle off the the charge function and click on transfer. i have a widows machine, i will give it a try, never know.
fastboot says connect cable but it also reports download mode disabled, is there away to turn it on in fastboot?

Make sure your fastboot is the latest and maybe try a different cable if you can.

Mine also says download mode disabled and I can still use fastboot. So I don't think its the problem.

You're best bet is to just flash a factory image from Google and start over, link
let's see my pc still doesn't have commo with fastboot. i found that "sideloader" works between the pc and fastboot. i was able to install lineageos 15.1 but with out the gapps at the moment. odd thing is i can not get the "developer option" with 7 taps of the build #. working on new post now. thanks all.

Make sure your on the latest bootloader (3.79) I know that was a must after March update for most ROMs. Also make sure fastboot is the latest here.I think your best option is written above with reflashing latest stock image from March and starting over.
happy to check the bootloader version. i get bl: angler-03.79, baseband: angler-03.85. should be good?
