Bricked Device - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i think i have messed up big this tym . my phone is bricked .
there is no recovery and the download mode even though its there its not installing anything.
the device is not appearing as qhsusb_bulk in linux so i cant access partion it just shows lge composite device.
it just boots up i get a black screen and the notification led starts to blink all colors.
i think the only way is if somehow i can force to install through the unresponsive download mode which was working before i rooted the phone with ioroot. or somehow access the phones partitions via linux even though it shows lge composite device

Good to know a bit more info on the case. So the computer is not recognizing the phone as an adb device at all?.. (I've never used Linux OS when modding my phone so my knowledge in that department is limited and I hope someone else will be able to help you there.) .. Else I would see if a windows computer would recognize the phone as an adb device.

Sorry for not being able to help you... but i suggest you to keep all your problems in 1 thread instead of createting several threads for your issue. It gets confusing to follow all your threads and most likely harder to help you as you haven't gathered all information and status on your proceedings in one and same place.
I'm crossing my fingers hoping that someone will be able to help you or that you'll find a solution. As for your screen being cracked makes it hard to operate. Do you have a bluetooth mouse? or an otg cable where you can connect a mouse? that way you'll be able to access the whole screen.

just an idea but not sure if it will work. can you use some voice control app to make it dial the numbers you want.. like google now? "Call...".. if you understand what i mean... It's hard, unless you install a rom that allows you to rotate the screen uppside down which is also an option. I remember i cracked my nexus 4 screen. I had it running slimkat rom and could rotate the screen uppside down. But not sure you'll be able to access the hidden menu on custom rom though(?).. Do you have any efs backup anywhere?

reverting to complete stock has in many cases helped retrive imei but there is not guarantee. what you could try is to make a backup of your current rom, so that you have the old and a new back up and then restore the old and see if it worked. if not go back to the new. I guess the best would be to try to go back to complete stock.

Ah ok. Had you used ioroot, it would have takes a backup of your efs partition. Well we do not promote people to use each other's efs backups as it's illegal.

Ok long story short I flashed something on my ls980 I believe my efs. Got wiped. I have no iemi. Unknown baseband. No service whats hoever I have tried LG flash tool and my stock tot no luck cback stock no root my phone restats every minute or so I can't find my efs backup. From io rootf.

Rite now I'm on zv8. I had it on the t mobile Tom for straight talk
Also I can only get charge only and dowliad mode to respond USB please someone help
Sorry to break to you, but I don't think there's a solution at this point. I was in the same situation last month and there wasn't a solution through xda. I tried, believe me.
Try your best to wipe your phone and remove root status, and then claim LG warranty. The warranty was rejected the first time (as well as unprofessional not-returning-calls to anybody or picking up the phone), but I posted on their Facebook page and got the "executive" team to contact me. Under a week later, I was sent a new/refurbished phone, box and all.
Most stories of LG warranty are terrible though, so best of luck to you. I dealt with LG Canada.
Can you get into recovery at all? I take it you don't have a Nandroid backup? What rom were you trying to flash?

See if there's anything helpful in here...
yeah, well, go back to exact situation you made the backup(romversion on phone/etc), then restore it with the tool version you made backup with. it will require you to probably have the efs backup in the location its backed up to. my tip would be to always back it up manually somewhere else as well as remember where you put it.
but if you cant find it you did a lousy backupjob right? How is that warrantee claimable.... ?seems user error to me
I understand that u are a senior men but apparently u don't read my backup is gone I've posted that 3 or 4 times now and I know it not claimable

Hey guys, i dont know if its bricked or not, but i have download mode and recovery, i am on stock, but ... my modem is unknown, and after several kdz upgrade stills so .. could it be that my partitions are wrong? i rooted and changed recovery, and my recovery is not properly functional ... sometimes looking via explorer I see the "0" folders but should they dont be removed by turning back to stock via lg support tool?
Thanks for help!

flashed with kdz to 4.2.2, rooted, flashed recovery, flashed baseband, still buggy ... now i did the same and toggled the ROOTED status from download mode and i upgrade to the latest, so maybe I can say to LG centre that after ota bricked, its in warranty, or should i do something else?
greets
@vyrus973 so whats now buggy then? The 0 folder is actually not a big deal, I had it also from custom roms. Is the modem still unknown? Could your efs partition maybe bad?
If its really an hardware issue non fixable then I would send it to LG if its not your fault. But if its an easy to fix software issue then I would try to fix it myself.
Could you explain more about your issue.

the bug is that he dont start the service, he does not even try to read my sim card, still no connection, and he self restarts like a loop, so i cant even use it really long time, sometimes he gets connection but even than with really bad signal, when i put on fly mode and return back he does not connect more, even the data connectivity than does not work, since i flashed the optimus v3 rom, i tried each kdz for my phone but no one did really fix it, sometimes at the first runtime it function and than after restart still buggy aaaaa its make me crazy, actually i am using a 6inches big china phone and that cant be a permanent solution.

@vyrus973 so you still have the backup? If so then you can try to restore it. You can also google about g2 efs recovery to restore it but I am not sure if it is possible. I think that your efs partition is corrupted or got removed.

i restored it many times, i backuped it on 4.2.2 and on 4.4.2 but anyone does properly function, i went in the assistent center and they are going to sent it to labor, at the end i restored all, i hope that they cant see that i played with the root/bootloader, in download mode is written UNROOTED, hopes thats all ahah, in 7 days I update
greets
@vyrus973 ahh okay, if you flashed back to stock and removed root temper flag then you should be okay. If you live in europe then it didnt matter that you had rooted your phone I thought. But your download mode said unrooted so the temper flag got resetted.
Goodluck with your phone and have fun with it, dont brick it

ahahah i were not happy with the g2, nice design but mhhh don´t know ... i think after i´ll sell it, and yes i live in italy so ehehe *finger crossing* hope it will go all right ahah at the end i dont think they have to repair hardware, just plug it in their universal computer and flash all again, at the worst case they have to open it and flash on board yey

[Q] Why I bricked my phone with LG Flash tool?

I have LG G2 D802 32GB. When I bought it, there was Android 4.4.2 KitKat installed.
Then I rooted it using ioroot25 and installed custom recovery using AutoRec.
I flashed CloudyG3 v1.2 rom by @Cloudyfa using TWRP.
It was working really good except the VOIP calls, thus I wanted to revert back to stock.
I found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I tried to flash it using some Europe Open KDZ from this page: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2F
The flashing started and stucked at I think 4%. I rebooted the phone and it appeared as qhsusb_dload.
I can't remember if I clicked on Normal or CFE flash. But I think it was normal.
I tried to unbrick it with this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
After that I got only LG logo and no recovery, no fastboot, no download mode, no qhsusb_dload mode, no nothing.
Now I got board replacement. The board have rooted Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean installed.
As I want to have CloudyG3 installed. I tried to do that by installing custom recovery and then flashing the CloudyG3 rom and KitKat baseband. But I think I have a battery drain issue, as Cludyfa already said. I also tried with flashing the Cust and Persist partitions from the KitKat KDZ, but my battery didn't got any better.
The question is, why I bricked my phone with LG flash tool? What should I do to make sure that this won't happen again?
I made backup of entire phone nand (mmcblk0). Should I DD it if I get the bulk mode (qhsusb_dload) again?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
@mss1988 if the phone is stuck at 4% just let it still for some time cause the program could might be bugged or some other error, just leave the phone on dont restart it cause the phone has first removed the stuff and didnt copied the bootloader etc yet.
If you get qhsusb_dload mode then I suggest to use the unbrick guide and also Pick the right files for your phone. You can DD your backup to your phone but using the unbrick guide seems safer to me.
Also check when you can use that qhsusb dload that all files are copied good.
Tip to prevent brick after root and custom recovery: Flash an stock rom through recovery or an stock rom which got modified under the hood.

That something like ????? Was probably in some asian language which your pc couldnt read. Some pc's makes boxes from it some ?. I cant tell you what that ???? Means since they have no meaning without any real symbols from some language of asia (I dont know where the dev comes from)
If it was stuck at 4% you could ask it on the thread of the lg flashtool since the dev of it and or other users may know the problem.

Read the tutorial in detail & HAVE some patience man.

[Q] Did I brick my phone?

Hello,
I have a LG G2 (D802). I was busy flashing the stock KDZ, when I got an error. The progress on my phone stopped, and nothing happened anymore. I wanted to try again, so I turned my phone off. Now, when I boot my phone, it gives the LG logo, and then nothing. When I connect it to my pc, I get a lot of format pop-ups.
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
The KDZ I used: Netherlands Open 16GB KitKat D80220D
Furthermore, also while connected to the pc, I only see a folder called "image".
Can someone help me with getting my phone back to stock? It doesn't matter if everything gets wiped, I already backed up everything.
Thanks in advance!
If lots of drives still pop up when you connect your phone to the PC,then follow this guide:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTc2m6U-I
I did it,and it fixed my download mode,and I could finally access Download Mode.
If your Download Mode still works,try the TOT method,it worked for me,since the KDZ method would be stuck at 2% every time(in my case).
So,after,or if your download mode works,do try the TOT method.

Just dont panic,even if your phone is in a "hard brick" state(doubtfully),there is a fix for it too.
I suggest you do not do anything without consulting with other members.
You just have to be patient.
EDIT
Oh,and go to the Device Manager and tell me what name your G2 has when connected to the PC.

Ugh thank god
those drives SHOULD be popping out
Right click on My Computer and select "Manage"
Then,on the left part of that window,you will see the "Disk Management" option. Click it
Then,you should see a certain Disk which is separated into tons of parts.
This part is crucial!
To me,my PCs Hard Drive was "Disk 0",and my fastboot G2 was "Disk 1"
Please tell me which "Disk _" your g2 is.
You can folow this videowithout my help(I could do it by myself in 3 A.M.,so you can do it too! ),I am basically helping you with the same method.

Download the kdz suitable for your model and flash it with LG Flash Tool.
Follow the "Back to stock" guide which you mentioned in the OP.
There will be a link to the KDZ archive for various models,and make sure that you select the kdz for the 32 GB variant if you have a 32 GB variant. Because it will be dangerous if you flash a 16gb variant kdz on a 32 gb phone.

EDIT
And if the same thing happens when flashing,fix it again(if it won't access the download mode) and try to flash while using another PC.
Mate, you are the freakin' best!!!! Mah phone works again!!! Now I'm going to install CloudyG2_3.3. What are the steps I need to perform in order to NOT(!!!) brick my phone again?
That'll be my last question, I can't thank you enough!

So the kdz flash worked,and the stock rom boots?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Forums Pro.
Yea it works! I used the stock KK rom though, since Cloudy requires the KK bootloader. I did it right here yes?

Yes,excellent job.
To root,download "Towelroot" to your phone,install it and press the "Make it rain" button,then install SuperSU,then look for "AutoRec" and make sure you get the version for your variant.
That is just halfway,I will tell you the rest tomorrow,it is 00:26 and I have to get up at 07:00. xD

And thanks a lot, again! Get your deserved sleep, I should do that too.. Gotta go up at 06:45 hah!! I WIN! xD
Okay,moving on.
Download the BUMPED TWRP from this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
It is in a flashable zip,so just flash it with the TWRP which was installed by AutoRec.
You must have the bumped version of TWRP!!
After you flashed the BUMP TWRP,reboot recovery.
Here is a bootloader changer,AROMA edition:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/d802-bootloader-changer-1-1-jb-kk-lp-t3104380

Hey man,
I noticed that Towelroot doesn't work for LG G2 Lollipop. Any idea how to fix this?
Edit: trying it with another root.
Edit 2: rooted. Going to flash now.
Alright it works, thanks! Can you tell me why I need the bumped version? Just curious

It is complicated,just do it. XD
I was asking the same thing like you.I ignored others,rushed with roms,didnt use the BUMPED TWRP and my phone was bricked.
Basically the TWRP you get with AutoRec is just capable of flashing partitions for the bootloader,not the system partition(the rom is in the system partition).
The BUMPED TWRP has a certain type of an exploit,and lets us install those system partitions.
Shortly:You can't install roms without the BUMPED TWRP.

I'm guessing my phone is refurbished?
I bought a D802 from a third-party, with:
- 32GB ROM
- 4.4.2 D80220b firmware
- 2G, 3G, 4G working
- The csmg.lgmobile.com website said that according to my IMEI, my model is the UAE 32GB D802 and gave me the D80230a firmware for manual flash via LG Flash tool.
I used the phone for a while, rooted it and used Xposed. Never got recovery so no backup(wish I'd seen the SRK tool before). Then I downloaded the firmware from the csmg.lgmobile.com website. I flashed it via the Flash tool and everything seemed fine. Then it booted:
- Touchscreen was erratic. Ghost touches, dead spots, phantom touches, whatever.
- The Baseband Version and IMEI in About Phone both say Unknown
- ROM has converted to a 16GB version
- Download mode is fine along with every other feature of the phone
After that I looked around and found a UAE D80220c firmware and flashed that. It flashed fine but all the above issues remained the same.
I browsed around extensively here and found out:
- Refurbished phones have their back cover and firmware changed to imitate D802's.
- My phone is probably some other G2 model with D802 firmware and an altered IMEI
- The actual model of my device is UNDER the motherboard. Which, apparently, I must get hold of so I can flash the appropriate stock kdz. This gets a bit too hardware-y for me.
So, basically, my phone is no more useful than a brick at the moment. Any expert help would be appreciated but here are the main questions that I'd really like answered:
A. Should I try various flashing the kdz files from different models mentioned in the link I gave up ^there until one clicks and then try to do something about the IMEI?
B. Is there any chance that my phone is beyond repair forever?
C. Should I stop messing around with my mediocre knowledge and take it to a repair shop?

[HELP!] I think I messed up my EFS partition and I don't have a backup....

I was VERY stupid. I went back to stock Oxygen OS using a fastboot image and now if I dial #*06# the IMEI box shows up but no IMEI number is actually in the box it is just blank. I did post about this before but last time I didn't really know what happened I was asking if anyone could tell me what they thought happened. I am pretty sure I screwed up the EFS partition and I am just wondering what I need to do now. Is there some way I can repair it I mean I don't have a backup. Can I contact OnePlus support? I really need help.

I forgot, honestly this happened a few weeks ago I tried looking through my history but I couldn't find it. How can I fix it?
EDIT: It wasn't from XDA for sure.

This happened to me a few times in the past, all I had to do was wipe dalvik and cache again and it came back. Not sure if it's the same issue but I would give it a shot. Just boot into recovery and wipe them again and see if it gets you back up and running.

I tried it and still nothing...

first try this.
then, flash H2OS. (Oxygen Os won't work from that recovery so, H2OS. Later you can re-flash though)
(Try this first!!!)
EDIT: if that doesn't reset, try this.

I cannot use that because my device is not hard bricked and it will not install the driver since I can enter the bootloader normally.
Not sure if you've seen this post its based on the post above but I think it just uses fastboot. Don't know if it will work for you, but figured it would be worth a shot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62973446&postcount=2
I tried using the tool and it did not work, I purposely hard bricked the device to try it and still no signal or imei. Another problem is WiFi takes about 4 minutes just to turn on but I can live with that I just want service.
Basically flashing back the stock should bring back the efs. Let's see if someone has a solution. Sorry!
EFS files are unique to each phone. If the EFS is corrupt or damaged, and there is no backup, I don't know of any way to fix it ;_; You can try OnePlus support but they aren't as dumb as carrier warranty or other phone manufacturers. They'll be more likely to know what you did.
It is possible to restore your imei number, I did it on my brothers lg g2. It requires some software for PC (I can't remember the name, you'll have to google it) and the box your phone came in with the imei number. It is possible, so don't lose hope!

Is it called QPST configuration? If so all I need help with is getting the phone to be recognized by the tool. Don't you need it to be on some COM port or something?

Have a look at this link http://droidmodderx.com/galaxys3/?page_id=79 I really can't remember how I did it and without researching again I won't know. It's a rough idea to maybe help you, I think the device just needs to be in USB debugging mode. I can't help anymore sorry and good luck.
any fix for this yet?
Same problem also with my op2 . No imei no baseband
