[Q] LG G2(F320L) not booting after OTA with stock recovery with TWRP aboot - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
First of all i committed a mistake of thinking that with TWRP aboot + stock Recovery i will be able to do OTA upgrade, which made my phone not booting, undetectable by computer and majorly not getting the LG Flash download mode by pressing any combination of keys., Stucks at LG logo.
Device: LG-G2(F320L)
KDZ stock: F320L21V_00.kdz
1. Flashed this kdz using LG Flash Tool 2014.
2. Flashed from F320L_AutoRec.apk, the images only aboot, and recovery.
3. From DorimanX project generated the boot.img with StockROM(F320L21V_00.kdz) version bootimage RAMDISK.
Everything was fine., till then.
After that, i got the OTA pop up., So, thought of installing OTA. As I had already faced the TWRP bootloop once and in some post i remember i read flashing OTA needs stock recovery image. Here is the place I commited the mistake. So, signed the stock recovery with aboot of TWRP using loki_flash. Accepted OTA. Thats it.
From then, no booting, no recovery, no adb, no fastboot, and unfortunately NO LG DOWNLOAD MODE also it goes.
When i try to go TWRP, it stucks up after the initial TWP message.
And pressing some key combination, the device goes to LG service mode, and showing the IMEI and some list of 3 options in korean which i dont understand. By pressing any of the option device reboots and stucks with LG logo.
Even my device is not shown up in the ubuntu, when i checked "dmesg".
Can anyone help to get the device into Either download mode or fixing the boot.

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum.
Stand by
Good luck

No solution yet?
The phone is still in the same state. Can anyone please suggest the solution to make the device working? Thanks in advance.

[Q] Flash stock with security error

Ok, so I flashed cleanrom ex, and on reboot I got a security error.
I tried to get to recovery, but it wipes data and immediately reboots.
I've tried flashing the stock rom, but lg flash tool tells me it's the wrong device (now thinks it's a D802).
I've been trying to get into TWRP on scrosler and samsunggalaxystig's advice, first by repeatedly trying an adb reboot recovery, then by writing a batch script to do it repeatedly in order to catch it before it reboots.
Problem is, I don't know if I had already had ADB drivers installed on this computer for the G2 (had rooted while at work), and despite installing them more than once, I don't think the device actually has enough time to be recognized as I still have an unrecognized "g2" in device manager while TWRP is wiping.
Any ideas? Is there any way I can force the install of the ADB driver without having it connected for more than 20 seconds? Spitballing... would it be possible to actually flash a D802 image so I could then root, change the build.prop to D800, and then flash the D800 image?
Totally at a loss at this point.
did you solve your problem? i have a similar problem and i just bricked an s3. this g2 is brand new and now it's bricked too! if you have found a solution please respond... :crying:

Why did flashing a rom leads you to that error? Sorry but not familiar with your roms but is this rom really for your LG G2 model?

twrp corrupted my cache partition and the phone could not boot. i tried to flash cwm while in twrp and i guess i messed up recovery and/or boot partitions. al i could get was fastboot. i flashed a boot.img i got from somewhere in here. now it says security error and it does not boot. it does not enter into fasboot. i can enter into recovery mode but it is the stock lg recovery and if i choose "delete all data", which is the only option, it gives an error and restarts.
if i try to flash stock firmware as described in this post it stops at 49%.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can someone help me I successful in installing twrp though autorec apk and the same for rooting my g2. I flashed cm with nightlies and noticed that twrp had a update. I downloaded the zip and try flashing it like flash a recovery in flashify but that din't work and readed that zip flashing though twrp didn't work but renumber this video and though it would update my recovery to 2.7.1 but it was successful in doing so but when I got to recovery it was 2.7.0. That not the problem form there I tried to boot into my system. Then it turn off though that I passed power off instead but when turn my g2 back on I found that I had a security error show up then turn back off. So can someone help show me a tutorial on unbick or a way to remove error. Also I have the d800 and i have some idea without going though unbicking a hard factory rest or flasing twrp form there site in fastboot. Finally that lg mobile support tool say that im up to date. I think doing the autorec twrp recovery locked as my phones recovery like trying to flash a rom with a locked bootloader.
Ok guys i trying to help cause it happen to me too,sorry for my english too slow but i try,when you try go twrp with volume up+power buttom it still show security errow,that ok your device not hardbrick yet,when you try volume down+power buttom it show hard reset it does mean it clear all rom,picture in internal but it go to twrp again,and them just flash another rom in your device and it done,have great day piece
I had the same problem on my G2 was using twrp to flash cyanogenmod not sure what i did and phone rebooted to show security error message. I entered recovery mode (power and volume down release when logo pops up and press power and volume down again hold for a second then tap both buttons a few times) pulled up the option to factory reset so i did and it booted me into twrp and allowed me to flash cyanogenmod correctly this time and the phone started back up with no problems. hope this can help someone else as well.
Anybody know the solution?
I also have the security error boot loop after flashing KK baseband files... I tried to enter recovery mode by holding vol down & power button but it wont work...
it does work when i enter download mode (vol up + power button), but i don't want to have to download the stock LG ROM..
anybody know how to by pass the security error boot loop to allow me to reflash?

After all the drivers installed correctly
make sure your phone is connected to the
com41 port change it if it already not ( Under device manager > Go to Ports (COM & LPT). You should see LGE AndroidNet etc... Right click it and go to Properties > Port Settings > Advanced > Change COM Port Number to COM41 > OK > OK > Close Device Manager )
run flash tool
1. choose type CDMA
2. chose PhoneMode: DIAG
leave rest as it is.
3. choose your kdz file.
then go to download mode
1. power off
2. press and hold vol + key and plug usb cable
3. done )
We have go 2 flashing modes.
1. Normal Flash is for flash with keeping data
2. CSE flash is totally new start preffered.
hope this helps.
thanks but it was a long time ago and I further messed up things, ended up sending it for warranty. they have replaced the device.
me too messed up my cell 1st i was on cloudy g2 v2.1 installed cm11 nightlies but the camera was not so good so then installed cloudy g2 v2.1 n since then i was having problem regarding sound during call and also some hard noise like siren starts randomly, i searched alot but didnt got any solution. wiped all many times (including internal storage ). but no luck then i thought i might be baseband error so i just downloaded auto recovery n flashed it n then stuck into security error but thank GOD i had custom rom in my sd card that time i flashed it back but still em having the sound error.

Hey guys, I was in the same boat for a little but was able to fix it by downloading the 801C firmware and flashing it. The firmware file should be a KDZ extension and you should also download LG Flash Tool 2014. Turn the phone on by holding the Power button and Volum up while it is plugged into your computer(It has to be plugged into a computer with LG phone drivers or it won't work).
Follow this tutorial and you will be set.

Start at step 17 on Method 1 and you should be golden.
Hope this helps guys!

Brick and Restart Loop no Download

Hi,
I was on a rooted android 4.4.2 official, when i tried to install custom recovery using Flashify.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
There was the Secure booting error and booted normaly.I found out that this was not possible so i quit.
Today a got an update from LG so i installed it. The phone rebooted giving the Secure booting error, and it stayed black screen.
Googling i found this tread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
I folowed it but i thought since my phone had problem with it's recovery, just flashing the recovery.img would be ok.
I restarted the phone bat it would not start. It desplays the lg logo restarts, lg logo restarts.
I can boot the recovery but it does not work. When i press recover it just restarts.
I cant boot download mode or anything else, i have been googling the hole day.
I would apricciate your help. It is a one month old phone.....
Thanks

are u stuck in cmw recovery??
Stock recovery.... :/
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Free mobile app
Same Problem here! Exact Same
Also having this issue, stuck in the secure boot loop, can't get to download mode.
Im exactly the same - im stuck in TWRP and cant boot into Download mode at all - just get the LG Bootscreen then straight into TWRP Recovery no matter what i do
Did we all except some kind of update from LG........ i wonder if this the link here and is now a common problem?
Mine was this and i thought it was just an app update for the stock apps and now im stuck big time
Any luck guys or solutions then please post here so we can keep it together and help each other!
Yeah I got an OTA update for my D803-Bell model, upon restart entered the secure boot error loop.
Sounds like, via this thread that it's commonly happening to people who had TWRP or CWM (or even aborted / possibly never completed installs like me) got nailed.
As per that thread, and everything else, I've tried every option possible -- no download mode. Recovery mode doesn't restore anything, just resterts to lg logo -> secure boot error -> black screen. Shows as QSHSUSB_BULK in windows/linux, and I can see those 25 partitions in linux (but reflashing openrecoverytwrp__.img over the recovery partition didn't help. I'm waiting to find out how I can make my own copies of those various partitions listed, from another D803-Bell model I have access to. All the D803 .img files on those links in that thread, appear to not contain D803 Bell stuff, just Telus, Rogers, etc... so I'll likely have to source my own.
I just took a shot in the dark recommended by a friend -- and fixed my phone.
I zeroed out the 'fota' partition on the phone. As seen in this thread ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Just did a dd if=/dev/zero overtop of the fota partition, which was 25 for me from my linux box. One quick power cycle later, and I'm fully functional again, and the OTA update that killed me is still showing as available again.

Stuck at boot logo, computer has access to file system

I'm in a very peculiar position here, where my LG G2 is stuck as the LG boot logo, but when plugged into my computer I have access to the internal storage. Here's how I got to this situation:
I previously owned a G2 on CM11 that had hardware issues. Before swapping it out due to those issues, I had made a backup using the package listed here, which created a few .img files, including boot.img.
On my new phone, I rooted, installed TWRP, made a backup of stock
Flashed Mahdi Rom
After flashing Mahdi Rom, my phone would immediately boot into fastboot, showing "fastboot started (new line) udc_start"
I did with the procedure listed here to be able to access download mode, and this was successful.
I then followed the procedure here to return to stock, but I got an error in LG FlashTools saying that I had the wrong model number. After a bit of digging around, it seems that this error may have been caused by the Mahdi Rom flash renaming my phone to "G2" instead of "d800".
After troubleshooting this for hours, I took a stab at flashing the boot.img file mentioned earlier through fastboot. Flashing this boot.img is what triggered the predicament I'm in now - I can access the phone's internal storage on my computer via USB, but it's stuck at the LG logo.
At this time, my phone will not ADB, fastboot, or enter recovery; I can only access download mode. When trying to enter recovery, it loads for about 1 second and then I'm kicked out and it goes back to the LG load screen.
Thank you in advance for any and all help

[SOLVED]![H870]Device keeps going into download mode after interupted Uppercut flash

Hello there.
I unlocked the BL yesterday and flashed TWRP and then AEX latest Oreo based ROM. It was fine, but since I came from Oreo, I did not have fingerprint sensor working.
So I wanted to go back to Nougat and then flash the AEX from there. Uppercut didn't recognize the phone so I installed a stock based rooted Oreo from TWRP.
I started the Uppercut flash with a stock Nougat system, but it was interrupted (in upgrade mode, refurbish mode doesn't work at all) referring to: error 0x2bc invalid command response code.
Later with another kdz file it gave me: error 0x2bc crc checksum error
From then on I cannot get into anything else, just download mode (in there, wildly short-pressing the Vol- and Power buttons gets me into a menu where I can turn the phone off, and I can boot into Fastboot mode. )
In fastboot mode I flash twrp and then when I try to boot into twrp by selecting the usual reset system options, it just gets into download mode again.
I could not get any kdz to install on it so far. I tried H87020C, 10D, 20A.
So now I have download mode, which fails and fastboot mode, in which I don't really know what can I do.
LG Bridge doesn't help, LG Flash Tool stops at extracting all the kdz files I gave it and LG UP also doesn't work.
The bootloader is still unlocked.
Please help me with this.
All of a sudden for the fifth trial, LG Bridge somehow succeeded to install and boot the phone via Update Recovery Error method.

[guide] d855 stuck lg logo, only fastboot mode usable

Ok guys i recently flash a stock kdz file using lg up and i'm not sure what happen and my device is like a brick, lg logo, no notification light, won't boot into os, power menu+down will get into factory reset but after reset the same exact thing and before i forgot to mention, it won't boot into download mode either, what it does it leave it for i don't know 10 20 minutes it will go into fastboot mode and i search in google i saw few post and videos and here's a list of videos or post that i've visited
1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmCC3Md8YVM
2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoWUPnat5GQ
3: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
and i was like hey they booted into fastboot, why not trying flash recovery, so i grab the latest twrp for d855 and run fastboot flash recovery, oops failed so i go with fastboot boot twrp.img instead and surprise surprise it booted into twrp so i wipe my system partition and my pc recognize the storage again so i copy twrp into storage and flash it using twrp and i restart into twrp and i decided to flash a custom rom i picked pixel experience and i flash it after that i reboot system and nothing happens just the lg logo again and no download mode too, this time i can get into twrp, i suddenly thinking, wait a second if system partition fked up, how bout the boot.img, so i download a ramdom d855 tot(HKG) variant and i extracted it using 7zip and i saw one interesting file:boot.img so i copy it to twrp and flash it and boom now i can get into download mode and flash my stock rom once again, hope this will help you out.
