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:

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.

vs98010b stock rooted
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:

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, 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

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.
Hello, I am a new member and I'm having a hard time trying to fix my phone.
Currently, I can't go into any mode. I have neither fastboot or download mode.
I also can't get into my twrp through factory reset since it tries to reboot my phone.
However, whenever it tries to reboot, I get error: Boot certification verify and the screen goes dark.
I have tried to solve it by following this thread:

By that do you mean you can't even get to the factory reset screen at all? Or you do get there but when you select the option to reset, it simply reboots at that time?

I get there and selecting reset reboots the phone. However, an error about phone ceritication verify pops up
If you have access to a Windows machine, plug it in while on that dark screen and open device manager. Does anything show up relating to Android, Qualcomm, etc? If need be, unplug it while watching device manager then replug. Is the device showing up at all and if so, what's it called?
edit: also try long pressing power for 15 seconds to turn off the device completely. Then short press power (2-3 secs) as though restarting the phone from an off state. Does it boot into the OS then or no?

Hmm, that's not so good. Most of the people who've been experiencing this have accepted either willingly or unknowingly, the new vzw ota update. But others have still been able to boot into the OS normally. It's booting to system from recovery that's been the only problem for them which makes sense considering aboot and boot were updated with the ota. That will break the loki <>TWRP connection since we need a downgraded aboot (JB) and a patched kernel for proper function. Hence the secure boot error.

I would hold tight for awhile and see if anybody else has a more simple plan because I do not. The only thing I can think of with no boot, no recovery, no download mode AND no bulk mode, is to try and force bulk mode as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
...then use Linux to fix as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
(though I would ammend those intructs slightly to include the dd writing of boot and laf also to restore download mode)
...and then use a restored download mode to return to stock using a vs980 tot as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
An unfortunately long and less than simple path back to a booting phone, especially for someone new to root. Again, hopefully somebody else can offer up a better plan.
Be very careful

I was in exact same spot, until I got into the dd / phone partitions part under Linux. AN ERROR THERE COULD BE FATAL.
Please be very careful, look for a thread on recovering from "Secure Boot Error" (havent found one specific for that yet) Alot of people had success using the Linux method, I did not (vs980) probably because of a typo (keyboard error, mine) using the dd command.
I'm not saying don't try it, I AM saying use extreme care make no keyboard errors

It seems like i have messed my phone up really badly.. Thank you for the ideas but yes, I will continue to look for more options for now
Edit: I have never tried the first method you showed me before but I have tried the second and the third method and did not work. Would I be able to fix it if I take it to a shop?

Thanks for your reply but I absolutely have no idea how to get into the dd / phone part using linux. I'll continue to look for more threads close to my problem but I have no clue as of yet.
No recovery, No download mode, No booting android, No fastboot? - In this case you are right here!
You are in the following situation:
If you power on your device, it goes to the LG logo and becomes black with running backlight quickly.
You have no access to the recovery mode.
You can't enter download mode.
There is no way to boot into the android system.
Usually your device is shown as qhsusb_bulk in Windows device manager.
Sometimes Windows recognizes about 13 partitions.
What you will need:
A working linux distribution (no way around that, but don't be afraid, e.g. slax)
If you want to run Linux in a Virtual Machine (no installation), preferably the VMWare Player (only for 64bit OSes) or an older Version of VMWare Player that supports 32bit.
A windows machine
A kdz for your device: 1, 2 or 3
The kdz extractor for WINDOWS!
Your broken G2
A micro USB cable
A little introduction:
We saw it a few times in the past months that people did weird things with their phone and didn't have anything more than a bootloader. This means no access to recovery nor download mode nor a booting android system. The last case was @petrasl27 (Thanks for the screenshots btw. ;D ). @bender_007 and @Art Vanderlay did an awesome job and helped petrasl27 to recover his phone within one hour. So thanks to those two! For those who want to read the original discussion, read a few pages here!
This thread here is similar to this one here, but I would say quite a bit easier to understand.
Disclaimer: I am not responsible for your phone. I did everything with my best knowledge, but I can't guarantee that your phone is working afterwards and every single command is written correctly. But I hope so, and it should ofc. If you have any issues, feel free to ask for help. We are kind, no worries. If you find mistakes, hit me up and I will correct them ASAP.
Let's start!
1) Install Linux
The easiest way is just do download the VMWare Player, installing, running it and using the .iso you downloaded before (pick other 3.x Linux Kernel if you downloaded slax). If you are unsure how to get Linux running, google it or ask here. Make sure, the usb port which you are going to use is linked through to the virtual machine.
You can also make the iso bootable and run the Linux as live system.
2) Extract the kdz
Switch to Windows, open the kdz extractor. Tick everything in the upper window, and click on extract kdz. Then open the .dz which just was created in the working directory of the kdz extractor. Tick "aboot_xxxxxx.bin", "boot_xxxxxx.bin" and "laf_xxxxxx.bin" in the lower window and hit extract dz. Then move the .bin files to your Linux desktop by using an USB stick, online storage or something like this.
Rename the files to "aboot.img", "boot.img" and "laf.img".
3) Preparing everything
Remove all your USB devices (except your G2 and your Keyboard & Mouse) from your computer, open a Terminal and type
Code:
ls /dev/sd*
The sda, sda1, sda2 etc. should be the partitions on your computer. But there should be a few others with sdb, sdb1, sdb2, etc. but no more. The sdb ones should be numbered from 1 to 36. This is your G2. Keep in mind how the three letters are (sdb, sdx, what so ever). (Make sure you run this as Super User, if you don't use slax!)
Then type
Code:
gdisk -l /dev/<insert the three letters you found out with the command above>
example:
Code:
gdisk -l /dev/sdb
It should now look something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Keep the numbers of the marked partitions in mind. In this case aboot=5, boot=7, laf=23.
4) Preparing everything
If you've managed it to get here, you are almost done. It's almost time for the final step now:
Open a terminal and type
Code:
cd Desktop
ls
You should now see the filenames of the 3 files (aboot.img, boot.img, laf.img) on your desktop in the terminal. If you do not, you either didn't type "cd Desktop" properly (The linux terminal is case sensitive!!!) or you haven't copied the files to the desktop.
5) Flashing the stuff
Code:
dd if=aboot.img of=/dev/<the 3 letters of your G2><the number of your aboot partition>
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/<the 3 letters of your G2><the number of your boot partition>
dd if=laf.img of=/dev/<the 3 letters of your G2><the number of your laf partition>
example (in my case):
Code:
dd if=aboot.img of=/dev/sdb5
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/sdb7
dd if=laf.img of=/dev/sdb23
6) Go back to stock using the kdz method
Now just follow this thread to get back to stock.

bricked my lg g2 d802..plz help
i'm from india .
i had installed lollipop 5.0.2 v30b via kdz flash method on my lg g2 d802 (indian version ) .
since then i had issues wirth my bluetooth and wifi.both were not working .
in my attempts to flash back to stock 4.2.2 , i came across ur thread and i flashed "D802_PATCH_RETURN_KK_droidth" via philz latest cwm recovery ,
but after that everything went mayhem ..
i got boot error message repeatedly and was unable to enter even recovery .
after several tries i somehow managed to enter recovery mode , but stil phone wont go past it.
I GUESS I ACCIDENTALLY FLASHED A KERNEL FOR MY OLD GALAXY NOTE(due to confusion between the saved files in the download folder ) , On my g2 too....but not sure...
after i restatred the moB , it wont turn on .
battery was 85 % ..
i'm not a newbie to flashing roms and have done aTLEAST >50 times with my lg g2 and galaxy note 2 and previously sgs2 , but this is the first time i got into a hard brick mode.
when i took the phone to servie center, they told the mob is just out of warranty and so wont get any warrany related help.
they told that the EFS HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO READ ONLY mode somehow due to improper flahing and also added that the EFS IS BEING SHOWN AS 16 PARTITION S.
they tried to repair the boot sector and recovery using OCTOPLUS TOOL BOX , but failed and told me that the latest models like G2 is not supported as if now in their TOOL BOX.
THE ONE suggestion given by them was change of PCB which is almost same as a new mob.
I'M STUCK WITHOUT MY FAV MOB G2 .......PLS HELP ME OUT SOMEHOW AND HELP ME OUT...

Which one are you refering to?
NVM, adjusted the OP. Either use VirtualBox or download an older version of VMPlayer (which supports 32bit obviously) by picking Version 6.0 as major version.

I can see that it will install Linux OS on my computer , which mean i will have 2OS . Is this safe ? I mean on every boot i should choose the OS to use or what ? Because i never used Linux as i don't need it , but this time it's a must.
Thanks.

No, if you are running it as a virtual machine (in VMWare Player or VirtualBox or whatever), it's like a programm you can start on your windows system. After you've unbricked your device, you can easily uninstall the VMWare Player and there is nothing from Linux anymore.

@sunandroid My phone is booting at LG logo and download mode is working , so i see this method isn't for me BUT .kdz method doesn't work , firmware stuck at 24% or 49% , and one LP firmware worked but it just keep rebooting after the process.
Factory reset doesn't work , the blue line down isn't there and it reboot again and again.. Is there a way to boot in fastboot using buttons combinations ? Tried multiple things but didn't work.

CHEERS !!!
Can anyone help me out on a D801?
The phone goes into bootloop... the LG logo appears for a few seconds, disappears, then reappears. I'm not able to go into download mode, no fastboot, and also no recovery. When I do the volume down + power button combo I can get to the factory reset screen but selecting Yes both times just sends me back to the same LG logo bootloop.
What is weird is that my phone use to display as QHSUSB_BULK and it would bring up a bunch of drives... but now that doesn't happen and my phone isnt even showing in device manager anymore. Also, my phone used to show the first "Download Mode" splash screen when I held the volume up button while plugging it into my comp but it just does the same bootloop. No more errors... just bootloops...
Do I have to short the capacitors like in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830

This worked fine for me every time I used it. Try to flash a KK ROM again, but do a CSE flash.

Yeah I guess you have to do as you mentioned. Only thing you could try before doing so:
Hold down the power button for 20 secs. Then wait a few secs and try to get into download mode. Maybe the device shows up as qhusb_bulk again.
Please help, Im stuck!!!
Since yesterday my phone is stuck, only LG Logo, no download mode, no factory mode, no recovery, no nothing but the lg logo.
I tried thw mentioned tool and what the OP posted here, but in both methods I get stuck:
The LG G2 is not recognized as as drive anymore, the one thats supposed to have many partitions, sdb, sdx, what so ever, numbered from 1 to 36.
Without this I cant continue.
Any help? Using D802 international version
Thanks

Hi, thanks for the quick reply
I have a windows machine, yes, but no idea how to open my device. I hope this wont be necessary...
What happened last: After using a very laggy rom for over a week, I decided to flash PA. I wiped everything except the format, so data/media is kept... i guess that the flash didnt went well, and after reboot im stuck at LG logo... manually putting it into recovery isnt working anymore.
When I connect the phone to the pc only the "LGE Android MTP Device" is identified but with a fail (yellow triangle and exclemation mark in device manager).
SRK Tool -> Disk Managment Tool shows only Disk0 which is c:
In the virtual machine, under VM> removable devices I can see the LGE Android, and when I connect it (disconnect from host) nothing changes, no sdx, sdb or anything like this, only sda (C
I installed the LG Drivers but it wont help. Here I am, with a bricked phone
What do you think?
Thanks

Are you sure you can't get into download mode? (hold down the power button for 20 seconds (not shorter!), then holding the vol+ button and connect the phone to a computer)?
I could imagine that you can enter the recovery after holding down the powerbutton for 20 seconds with the button combo. I think so, because the kernel must be working somehow since it still manages to get shown properly on windows.
If none of the options above is working, the pin shortage is probably the easiest way to get into qhsusb_bulk and start freshly (following this thread).
