[Q] Bricked? LG E612G

So I have a LG E612G from Chilean company Claro.
I have the bootloader unlocked, and I was using Cyagenmod beta for android 4.3, but the phone has a lot of lag and issues so I decided to go back to stock, so I downloaded the KDZ file and KDZ updater beside all the drivers needed, I have tried with several KDZ:
V20G_00
V20C_00
V20A_00
V10E_00
V10D_downgrade
I have tried using the KDZ updater in DIAG or emergency mode (I just haven't been able to get t he phone to download mode and not to emergency mode), but every time I get the same result, the phone reboot, makes the start sound and the LG logo appears on the screen (with an animation on the border of the "face") and thats all, the animation goes in to a loop and nothing happen even after a while.
I dont't know what else to do, I have followed both unbrick guides that appear here and they aren't working.
I have google the issue and everyone has been able to get their phone working again, I have tried with e612g and e610 kdz to see if that make any difference and nothing.
I don't know if this is important but every time that I have used the KDZ I remove the micro SD from the phone
Please I beg you, help me
P.S: I apologyze for my english as is not my native lenguage

First of all friend, as far as I know nothing can be done to unbrick a phone. If it can be fixed, its not a brick.
Can you get into cwm? (Power + Vol up + home and release power after beep on my phone.)

Now, He is able to boot in "recovery mode", But it's not a custom recovery like he used to have. It boots up in "LG service (Recovery mode)".

You can still try a hard reset..
When the phone is switched off, press and hold the Volume down key + Power key with your left hand.
When the LED on the bottom of the phone lights up, release Volume down key + Power keys and press and hold the Home key (for about 2 seconds) at the same time.
The phone will turn on and perform a factory reset immediately.
Do not operate your phone for at least a minute, while the hard reset is carried out.
You will then be able to switch your phone back on.​

Guys, it works, so if you ever came down here (I mean Chile) I will buy you a beer.
It now have android 4.1.2 and everything is working again
Thanks

with a locked bootloader on stock you can boot into download mode/emergency mode and hard reset
to boot into a custom recovery like cwm you must unlock the bootloader:good:

REPAIRED!I got my phone repaired...HERE is the method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
Last night I began to try REPAIRING , but it still can not work...
Firstly Pardon me for my poor English...
The reason it stucked is that when i tried to get it back to stock firmware,the software(LG FLASH tool) warmed me with some unknown errors at the time it almostly finished... and after it restarted, it stucked in the starting LG screen...

Unable to enter download mode,instead,it entered fastboot mode
In fastboot mode,I successfully flashed boot.img, and recovery.img(CWM or TWRP) successfully flashed but could not start,and when I tried flashing system.img it failed
If I boot it directly with USB pluged, the computer will detect the port the same as which appears when you use kdz flashing.. But this port can not use for flashing kdz with LG Support tool, whether it is in diag mode or cs_emergency mode.
What's more,.tot file could not be flashed in by LG Flash Tool,too..
Sometimes,after some special action,it would appear a "qhsusb_bulk" unknown hardware on my computer , and then my computer tells me to format a bunch of "local driver"s
Current ideas:
1 Try to enter recovery from fastboot mode
(2) flash my phone whitout enter download mode
8/10 10:00 update ideas
a. extracted from the official kdz or tot, img could be flashed in in fastboot mode
b. Could You please send me some original DUMPed imgs in LG F320K? (Using Nandroid backup in CWM or TWRP)
Very thankful for your kindness！
10/10 00:30 updated
New discoveries！ boot with holding the volume + and power key for five seconds, it would enter the official Recovery (rescue mode) But if CWM or TWRP flashed it couldn't start..
Hold all the three keys to boot it would enter an unknown New World (look at the picture). . .
But now I have no idea of these two modes...I urgently need F320K dumped partition image! ! Please help me,my friend..Thx very much
Photos was taken with the OLD but faithful, never bricked, NEVER broke after fell down-my Nokia C6, but the quality of images is not good. . .
If this time I can repair it back form brick successfully,I will write down my operation in detail to help the guys who have the same problem as mine..
Very grateful for your help--even just a reply or subscribe!:good:

Have you tried removing the MicroUSB-cable while pressing PWR + Volume down?
That did the trick for me, and I'm pretty much in the same boat.
Remove USB-Cable -> Hold pwr + volume down -> restart -> hold pwr + volume down again when the LG-logo pops up.
Then -> LG Mobile Support Tool and recover from the menu there.
Takes FOREVER to download the software, but still. It works.
My issue now is that I only have 10GB left on my G2. Seems like it thinks its a 16GB instead of a 32GB. Wich annoys the booger out of me.
---------- Post added at 10:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------
1) Turn off the phone completely (or be superfast with the buttons)
2) Hold volume +
3) Connect the phone to the PC (MicroUSB)
4) Enjoy download-mode.

Used downloadmode to reflash the original FW from the LG Mobile Support Tool.

press the menu on the top there.
The one to the left.
Then you choose "Recovery" or whatnot.
Then you can enter your IMEI-number to identify it.

Because my phone isn‘t in download mode,this occurs every time....View attachment 2313955

Since you flashed recovery in fastboot, cant you just do "fastboot restart recovery" to get into it?

You get into fastbootmode when you have your phone off, then you hold the volume + and connect the phone to the computer aswell? :s

Hey can you post your method in English? I have the exact same problem with my phone right now. Missing IMEI, phone restarts every 20 seconds, and I've tried reverting back to stock but now CWM is gone, as well as everything in the internal memory. Can you please share in your wisdom how to fix??
Thanks in advance.

My G2 can not go into download mode and recover mode, and my computer can not recognise it so I can not put anything into it.
when I hold Volume up and plug usb cable, its screen has a green robot with red exclamation! and I can go into recovery mode.
How can I do to wake up my phone?

I Bricked My LG G2 VS980 and have no idea what to do
So a couple days ago, I rooted my phone, and everything worked perfectly. Today I tried to install cyanogenmod 11 onto my LG G2 VS980 with Kitkat 4.2.2. I wiped everything on my phone except for the Internal sd card, and installed it. However, when I rebooted my phone, cyanogenmod didn't boot, and my phone is unable to get past the LG logo. It is in a bootloop, and keeps powering on and off unless I turn it off with the power button.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I want to help here. I made the process a little bit diferent. To connecting the tablet to the pc i enter fastbot mode. Press power+Vol down until the robot appear.

In the same way launched every step that the tablet needed to be connected to pc, like 7-.
In step 9- pressed Vol up+ power to enter droidboot then do 10, were it sais launch cmd you have to launch debrick-flashall-FW-no_wipe.cmd in the new location.
The tablet works excelent, very happy here, thanks!!

Ok, it was not easy to root .201, stuck in demo mode like 3 times. This is the correct way:
-Download this version of root zenfone:https://cloudup.com/files/ivrnLUAwMDS/download
-Download supersu from the playstore and install it.
-Install and open root zenfone, let the app run and don't put OK when it enter demo mode. Let it run for 15 seconds and just restart the tablet without pressing anything.
-If everything is ok you will be rooted.
-In case things go wrong and you enter demo mode, you have to press back button for 10 seconds, then it will ask you for a code, put 741603 and confirm. It will factory reset your tablet and demo will be gone. In case it not enter factory reset you will need to do it manually, after puting de code.
For me google play service bug dissapear when disabled google as device administrator of the device.
This tablet work 10 times better with Kitkat, it doesn't restart, it is stable, a lot better ram manager. The only problem i figure out ia battery stats, it's very buggie. I can use the tablet 1 hour with 1% of the battery, it happen to me with this tablet in all version since i buy it, maybe my battery is wrong...

Please. I lost the stock ESP and recovery. can someone upload the two files here? I have me176c ww version. I do not want to suffer more random reboots.

HELP!
I did all that and it stuck in the bootloop. Can't get in to fastboot or boot menu either.
OK... The only thing seems to be working is droidboot. When I try to go in to recovery then it will show belly up droid.
-------------------------------------
Edit: Alrighty mighty... I did it.
I consider my self and Android idiot cuz I've managed to f*ed up 2 devices beyond repair and even I am able to do this.
My K013 was latest Lollipop update .36, rooted, exposed, striped off system apps to bare minimum.
Here's what I did, step by step.
0. Pre-flight check.
Install ASUS_Android_USB_drivers_for_Windows downloaded from here> https://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/6/32/
Once you got the zip, unzip it then go to extracted folder > Windows_XP_VISTA_7_8_8.1 > Android, right click on android_winusb and click Install.
Install Intel USB Driver for Android downloaded from here> https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-usb-driver-for-android-devices
This one is install shell, easy.
1. Turn off the tablet.
2. Hold volume down and power until you see Asus logo, now you can release power button but sill hold the volume down button. This will get you in to fastboot.
3. Plug in the USB cable.
4. Unpack WW_ME176C_V12.10.1.17-userdebug-201505051557-rawdata.zip then do #4 in tutorial.
5. When finished, unplug the USB and let it boot. Go and check as step 5.
6. Turn on developer mode by go to Settings > About > Software Information and rapidly tap "Build number" until you see the message "You are now a developer!".
7. Go to Developer options and turn on USB debugging. Then plug in the USB cable.
8. Do step 6 and 7.
9. When finished, unplug the USB cable and turn off the tablet.
From here on are what I find tricky-----------------------------------
10. Unpack WW-ME176C-3.2.23.201-release-user-20150115-signed then copy debrick-flashall-FW-no_wipe.cmd from from FWI_to_UEFI_ME176C folder and put it in the extracted folder.
11. Hold volume up and power buttons until you see Asus logo then release both buttons. It will enter droidboot like in this picture.
12. Plug in USB cable, run debrick-flashall-FW-no_wipe.cmd from WW-ME176C-3.2.23.201-release-user-20150115-signed folder.
13. When it reach this part
Do not close this window yet. You have to go in to droidboot again (otherwise it will go in to bootloop just as mine did).
What I did was unplug it, turn it off and repeat my step 11. Then plug in the USB and it will resume installing new.... old.... I mean 4.4.2. This will take some time, just don't let you PC go in to sleep or accidentally disconnect the USB.
Once it finish, unplug the USB cable and let it boot up. Now, go enjoy your K013 running 4.4.2.

Thanks

at step 7 (flash_ME176C_IFWI.cmd) i can't go further, error 123 when trying to start demon, but i have usb debogging activated, what am i missing (i am on windows 10 anniversary update , i have disactivated drivers signature verification but i can't download intel drivers, the url can't seem to allow me the download).

I had this error too.... You must copy the extracted folders on a other place! On the Desktop works for me... I think theres read/write restrictions from the system....
I flashed succesfully with windows 10....

thought so but wasn't sure, i tried from the download folder in a folder with russian caracters on a french windows 10 x64, so i was thinking it was a name issue, will retry from another folder on root and use a simpler folder name.

moving and renaming the folder did the trick, my me176cx just did it's first 4.4.2 boot in a while.

I want to help here. I made the process a little bit diferent. To connecting the tablet to the pc i enter fastbot mode. Press power+Vol down until the robot appear.
Then launch 4- not 3-.
In the same way launched every step that the tablet needed to be connected to pc, like 7-.
In step 9- pressed Vol up+ power to enter droidboot then do 10, were it sais launch cmd you have to launch debrick-flashall-FW-no_wipe.cmd in the new location.
The tablet works excelent, very happy here, thanks!!

Ok, it was not easy to root .201, stuck in demo mode like 3 times. This is the correct way:
-Download this version of root zenfone:https://cloudup.com/files/ivrnLUAwMDS/download
-Download supersu from the playstore and install it.
-Install and open root zenfone, let the app run and don't put OK when it enter demo mode. Let it run for 15 seconds and just restart the tablet without pressing anything.
-If everything is ok you will be rooted.
-In case things go wrong and you enter demo mode, you have to press back button for 10 seconds, then it will ask you for a code, put 741603 and confirm. It will factory reset your tablet and demo will be gone. In case it not enter factory reset you will need to do it manually, after puting de code.
For me google play service bug dissapear when disabled google as device administrator of the device.
This tablet work 10 times better with Kitkat, it doesn't restart, it is stable, a lot better ram manager. The only problem i figure out ia battery stats, it's very buggie. I can use the tablet 1 hour with 1% of the battery, it happen to me with this tablet in all version since i buy it, maybe my battery is wrong...

A way easyer (and definitive) solution to root the tab is to use the tethered recovery and flash supersu, worked for me

Well new problem, i don't remember how to properly install xposed on kitkat on this tab. Tried the official installer but the settings in gravity box for kitkat are ignored.

@Saarge
Hi,
i use the 2.7 experimental version but gravity box won't work but hk theme engine works good for changing icons and other theme stuff but it doesn't change the homescreen/settings screen backgrounds for this i use holo background themer.
To change the softbar buttons i use another theme engine mod.So with this three modules one can customize the tab pretty well.But i didn't found a mod to change the quick menu settings yet.

can i do this for the android 5.1.1 version? quote me so i know someone replied to me

There is no 5.1.1 for this tablet. Last firmware is 5.0.1 lollipop .36 and you can rollback to kitkay in any lollipop version.

Hello,

I will try this in the morning. I'm new to LG, how do you flash stock?
I put in $25 and will send it when I verify it works.
Thanks for the work!

Currently I am at work.
I will test it once I got home.
----- edit -----
Got soft brick on the device.
TWRP seems to work, but it is stuck on LG boot screen (The device can't be checked for corruption)
I have to open the back cover and reconnect the battery.
Since I have stock kdz file, it goes back to normal after flashing with stock kdz

You can open a thread and put some pictures about how to open the back cover and disconnect the battery.
@tungkick, our device name is T-Mobile LG GPAD X 8.0, not 8.3. Hope those gpad 8.3 users weren't confused.

Pry open from USB OTG port, and use a mini screwdriver to remove the battery connector.
Once you turned off this way, press and hold volume up and plug USB to enter download mode.
Run LGUP and install stock kdz file (upgrade).

Do not know if you're having the same boot problem as me. But I did not have to remove battery to get it to reboot. I just hold all 4 buttons down for a good amount of time and device will reboot. Leave USB cord in and release all buttons then vol up to get into download mode.
Re-reading your post the same exact thing happened to me when testing with tungkick on Skype. dz seems to flash just fine but then it will not boot tablet, so no way to adb reboot recovery.

It's uneccesary to open the device to reboot it. Once you've flashed TungKicks stuff, you can Hold Volume down and Power to restart the device, then enter recovery with the key combo, then you can shut down or do whatever with the device with TWRP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, Using the info on TungKicks' post I've flashed the device, It has TWRP, but does not boot to android. it just hangs on the dm-verity warning.
I had to use the key combo to get to recovery.
Volume Down + Power. Release power when LG logo shows up, continue to hold Volume Down. Re press power after one second.
Recovery has issues too.
-Can't wipe the device.
-nothing gets mounted.
-TWRP claims that there's no OS installed
-Upon further testing, the recovery reports itself as V510 via MTP. No beuno!

I didn't know how to get to recovery with key combo, everything else I knew. As for TWRP... it's a start, but I wonder what needs to be changed for it to work with this device.

Install Adaway now

I'm getting a Boot verification fail message - Cause MISMATCH_SIG_LEN. Everything went 100% in LGUP, not sure what happened. Its just boot looping on startup screen (LG - powered by android screen)

Axon 7 bricked and I'm in a very tight situation. Any quick solution?

To sum it up quickly, I put my Axon 7 up for sale on ebay. 5 day listing. It currently has ~24 hours left on it and plenty of bidders. ZTE Gladly offered a replacement but it would take 10 or more days. I had previously rooted the phone, and wanted to send it as though it came from the factory. I went into fastboot, did 'fastboot oem lock' over the fastboot shell, and it said successful. The device "rebooted" into a black screen. The device now appears to be bricked. It will show a ZTE logo for about a second when I hold the power button and then no more. I cannot seem to get it respond to a charge, go into fastboot, recovery, or anything else except what I described. It sounds hopeless to me, but maybe someone here is a miracle worker. Thank you very much.

for starters which model to you have?

You were completely stock, not rooted before locking?

I had flashed CM to it previously but when I did a relock I had reflashed stock MiFavor found here on XDA.
Edit: TWRP official a2017u was on the device, and I may have flashed supersu as well during the stock reflash. It was almost a week ago, I can't remember.

If you can boot to recovery you can try using ZTE B20 file, look here https://www.zteusa.com/axon-7#support under SOFTWARE UPDATES
* Move that file to your SDCard ,
* Boot to your recovery and flash that file.

I cannot boot into recovery. I cannot do anything except what I described, the quick ZTE logo, and then nothing. The computer does recognize that there is a device plugged in though, but ADB and fastboot will not see it.

Nothing happens. It will not go into fastboot or recovery, no matter what I hold, for how long, anything. I believe it is either trying to display the "Your device cannot be trusted" screen and fails or is trying to do some other thing during pre-boot and is stuck in a loop. I don't know what EDL is but I'd be willing to tear this phone a new asshole if I can fix it within 24 hours. Happy to try anything, it seems like it can't get any worse than this.

this means, you still UNLOCK, when you are there and i mean when that message shows up, press any of the volume key and will give you a menu, from there you can boot to recovery - fastboot - bootloader.
if you see that menu, BOOT to BOOTLOADER and tell me the status.

Well I just successfully locked it before making the thread... So it is not unlocked any longer. That was just speculation. I have no menus, holding down volume buttons and power does not do anything, I cannot get into fastboot, recovery, etc at all.

you know how to manually boot to EDL? so you can use any of the tool to flash TWRP.
manually booting to EDL and to make sure is in EDL mode CONNECT your device to your PC/Laptop and open DEVICE MANAGER now just Hold & Press Vol. Up and Down and make sure you are pressing both , if you are using case take the phone out of the case so you can really do it. Once you are pressing and holding both volume keys, press Power and check Device Manager for Qualcomm Port your device is using.
after that just proceed with the rest.

Just to make it a little clearer, to go to EDL mode. Phone must be off when you connect to PC, you hold both volume up/down and then touch power. It will still remain off BUT should now be recognized by the PC's device Manager.

I was in the same situation before. Using tenfar's tool to flash tenfar's TWRP (not official TWRP) the phone will boot TWRP with a locked bootloader. Then, go https://www.zteusa.com/axon-7 there and click the Support tab, then the Software Updates subsection. Download that, it could take a while though.
Once that's done, open the update.zip in something like 7-Zip and navigate to META-INF\com\google\android and extract the file updater-script. Open it with Notepad++ (not Notepad) or, if you're not on Windows, the text editor of your choice.

}
On line 2, which is highlighted, delete that line. If you don't do this, it won't flash in TWRP. Don't worry though, it won't mess anything up. After saving, drag the extracted updater-script back into the zip file and confirm that you want to replace it.
Then, once your phone is in TWRP, copy the update.zip to your phone and flash it. For me, it took about 7 or 8 minutes to flash.
This part is the most important, absolutely do not skip this:
Before you reboot go back to the main TWRP menu and open the Mount menu. Uncheck system and then reboot. This is because TWRP installs a survival script in /system if it can, because otherwise TWRP will be changed to stock recovery. In this case though, it's what we want. This way OTA updates will successfully install. Stock recovery checks for any changes to /system and refuses to work if it sees any change at all, like the one TWRP makes unless you unmount system before you reboot.
After rebooting, you should update your phone from B20 to B27 and then from B27 to B29 to be up to date.
Also, this will re-lock your bootloader!
If you have any questions please ask, hopefully that helped you and maybe others too

Maybe I just haven't looked hard enough... but I can't find any working instructions on how to flash/boot to a recovery. When I go by his instructions, nothing seems to work. I have, in the same folder as axon7root.exe, a recovery.img that is tenfar's twrp release. I have installed the driver he linked. I run axon7root -p 4 -r (yes, my phone is connected to the COM4 port) and the program just prints his little copyright splash screen and nothing happens. I have left it for ~half an hour, so it's obviously not just taking it's time. When I unplug the phone, it tells me my horse is dead (lmao someone get on translation) so it obviously knows the phone is there, but it just cannot do anything. Also, I cancelled the ebay listing a few minutes before seeing your post, disappointingly. Hopefully I can revive my horse and relist it.

I will try running it as admin. I am unsure how to tell if my phone is in EDL mode. I have reason to believe that it is stuck in a silent boot loop and maybe I can't get it into EDL/any other mode but I am just speculating there. I think that because 1, it won't respond to a charge and 2, I have to hold down the power button much longer than usual to make the ZTE logo pop up; It's as though I had to force shut down the phone and then boot it again in the 1 press.

You can't tell that the phone is in EDL mode on the phone itself. You can only tell by trying the tool. If I remember right the button combination to get into EDL mode is both volume buttons held down and the power button also held down for 2 seconds or so at the same time.

No dice. As admin, computer restarted, I tried holding both volume buttons while plugging in.

update from my last post: I got tenfar's tool to upload his TWRP to the phone (sent it to the horse o.o) but it still will not boot anywhere. The phone has not changed at all.
