So my G2 has been hardbricked for some time now, about 4 months since I went ahead and just got a new G2, but to be honest I feel like there is some way this thing can be unbricked. So I'll tell all who read this what problems I have:
Bootloop as the title says, just LG logo for about 20 seconds, then black screen for 1 second, then back to LG logo
No known way of getting into any recovery mode, whenever I hold power+vol. up/down, just blinks a red light
All I can remember that I screwed with was some img files back when it was soft bricked
It was soft bricked due to complete stupidity, I was trying to flash something completely incorrect and that's all I remember
No usb detection on Windows 7 or Ubuntu
So there ya have it, if you can fix this, you would make my year haha
same problem
I did this about 7 months ago flashed an aroma rom. Wrong version. Long story short no download mode no recovery no fastboot. The only thing I get is hardware key control. Windows 8 recognizes it for a second or two then its gone and back and back and back.I have soft bricked b4 bunch of times but can't get back from this one..Any help is welcomed

Well im kinda new to the rooting thing but I believe my phone was only soft rooted. I was trying to install twrp but I got a dead android with a explanation mark or it would go to a black screen after the lg logo.i didn't know I was soft rooted when I was trying this. so after awhile I gave up. my phone still booted normally without trying to go into recovery. recently an update for android came out ( kitkat 4.4.2) so I decided to see if it would work. it restarted the phone to install the update and it got stuck in fastboot mode. I read somewhere you can install twrp from fastboot, so I tried to fix it and now it gets stuck on a black screen after the lg logo. Ive been searching for a solution for over a week and any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a Verizon lg g2 vs980 with the stock rom if that helps...
Oh and when I plug my phone in to my pc while the black screen is on drive letters F though T pop up and the F drive has an image folder in it with random files
Similar issue... no LG logo at all
I was successful in rooting then attempted to install TWRP. The phone turned off then turned on with the "android open stomach and !" icon... it shut off a few mins later.
Now, all I get is the buzz when you power it on and a black screen. Im not able to enter the recovery mode using any combination of buttons. I cant even see the LG logo!
LG Mobile Support Tool nor my computer will even recognize the device. Am I truly bricked beyond repair?
Got a brand new vs980 from Verizon with stock OTA 24A on it. I rooted and then used the KITKAT 24A OTA FREEDOM file from this thread to try and install TWRP 2.7. It ran, asked me if I wanted to boot into recovery. I chose yes. It appeared to have worked fine. However, now my phone just gives me the ERROR: boot certification verify screen. I've tried to get into download mode, but it never makes it past the first screen (dots). It never makes it to the screen with the progress meter and the usb icon. It seems to be properly bricked. Is this thread my only hope?
C'mon guys, this is a crisis. On my way to work this morning i had to listen to the radio! Like, with commercials and stuff.
Any luck? My phone is doing the exact same thing. I can't get into download mode or fast boot. The LG sign pops up, the error flashes for less than a second in the upper left hand corner then the screen goes blank and does nothing else until I hold the power button for 10 seconds or power button + volume down key, then it just repeats the LG sign and message all over again. We're screwed brotha
First thank you for viewing my question and issue.
I'm new in here hoping to find a solution to my problem. I bought a used S4 I9500 last year it was lagging acting up slow did a search and read online that I might need to install better version via Odin (I'm totally new to the android world so I think I did a mistake here somewhere). So I did install I9505 version which I thought will work fine. (sorry for not doing enough researches coming from IOS which is less complicated). The phone apparently did a restart and got stuck on the Samsung logo which kept glowing for few minutes.
It was mid night by the time I was cracking this stuff out, so thought to myself to keep it plugged and go n rest for few hours. I woke up and the Phone was still stuck on the Samsung logo which was glowing not like paused or something. The phone was hot so i thought I should stop the whole operation before something worst happen. Did some searches and found that people are fixing this issue by going to recovery mode or download mode etc.
The thing is Vol+ and home button + power or Vol+ and power trick doesn't show the menu anymore. When i click any of these it just does a random reboot showing Galaxy I9500 logo and then back to the glowing samsung logo. notice that I was able to go to download mode and recovery mode prior to this issue but now I just can't for some reasons.
Would appreciate any help. Thank you
Find someone that can use Jtag maybe they can fix it.
Hard lesson for you. Never flash a firmware for another device onto your phone.
If they can't fix it, then you can buy a new phone. You bricked it.
I have the ATT model g2. it was running android 4.2.2 and i rooted. i got an OTA notification yesterday so i unrooted it, and uninstalled busybox. and went ahead with the update. now, my phone does not turn on. you go to turn it on and the lg logo flashes for a second or two, then a black screen, if you look closely you can tell that the screen panel is still lit, but nothing shows up. It will not boot to download mode, and it does boot to the (stock LG recovery, i never had a custom recovery) recovery, but when i hit the power button 3 times to do the hard reset, i get the black screen again, and no boot. when i connect it to my computer, it gives me a bunch of popups saying that i need to reformat a drive before i can use it, somewhere around 15-20 of them? ive run out of ideas to fix it. any and all help is appreciated. would really like my g2 back, im back to my old phone which was a nexus 5 that has a terribly cracked screen, and i really like to get the g2 back rather than having to pay to get my screen replaced.
Hi Guys,
I got my G2 back from my brother who have not using it for a while.
1st day it was working. I plan to install Lineage or custom ROM today...thats when the issue start:
1: it wont go to recovery mode. Even thou I have rooted and install latest TWRP it will only boot to Hardware control key screen, only this screen and wont boot to the OS it will be stuck on LG logo forever....
2: tried to go to Download mode....the same It will go to the same hardware control key only....
3: when I plug in to my PC it wont turn off, keep on restarting after I press the power button for a while.... only if no cable connected I can totally turn it off...
For a noob like me....looks like my G2 D802 is brick :crying: ...any suggestion?
PS: windows detect it( As below picture ), off at all when I plug in AC.....It Will just show the LG logo and the LED just flashing non stop until I pull out the cable and turn it off...
This is what shown on the laptop No Disk1/2/3/4/5 of sort showing on the Device Manager and on the phone each time I try to go recovery or download mode belowh happen:

Update 1: I found out why the phone was brick. Seems like my Brother ask his friend to install Lineage 15.1 on the it. After everything is verified ok. He wipe and try to flash the rom in TWRP but.....it failed and suddenly just freeze and turn off the screen. Maybe bad ROM download or some step miss....so now the Phone has NO OS and would not boot to anything only the Hardware Key Management....that's all....help? Need the phone as 2nd phone for company lines....dont wanna take the iPhone 6 from my boss....
help?
