Hi guys,
First off all sorry about my english.
So, i´m having a huge problem. I was using a custom rom with Philz recovery. Then i tryed to get back to stock using LG flash tool. I got into download mode but it stoped at 10% then i´ve rebooted the phone. Now i can see the LG logo animation and the screen goes black. And that´s it. I can´t boot into recovery pressing the keys and i cant boot into download mode. I´ve tryed a linux method that i found in this site but the phone can´t be reconized.
Thank you for your pathience,
Please help meeeeeeeeeee!!!

It´s not detected. U know that sound when we connect a device on the usb? Keeps doing that multiple times after the logo animation. Damn

That sounds like what one would expect in Qualcomm qhsusb_bulk mode as it's trying to mount a bunch of "drives" that are actually partitions. Do you see that? If no, try expanding the entire device tree in device manager so you can see everything.

Can´t detect it. While doing those sounds multiple times nothing happens on windows and nothing different in the device manager.

Well that's not a great sign. You long pressed power (15-20 seconds) to power off the device before trying download mode again right? If so, I'm not sure what to suggest.
Suppose worst case scenario, you could try forcing bulk as seen here:

Damn. I don´t have knowledge to go through that process.
It's not as difficult as you might think. I've had my phone broken down far further than that to do an LCD replacement. If you do end up going that route, check carefully the model # markings once you remove the back cover. If you've owned your D802 for a short time, there have been many cases of D802's being sold with D800/D801 hardware inside.

Yeah that plus it not showing as bulk in Windows is not typical of the more easily fixable conditions. Strange that it does show bulk mode in the Ubuntu VM. I'm assuming you already tried to add that as a device as your popup described? That would need to be done. The only other option would be to try booting Ubuntu (or other distro) from a usb stick and see if your results change. But some distros have had issues recognizing bulk.

Yes. I even got access to the folder "image" once. Unfortunately it only shows "USB device not recognized" now.
Download vmWare, ubuntu, install ubuntu inside the vmware. Try performing factory reset(if the black screen happens while performing the reset, ok..), just connect it.
Does it show errors inside ubuntu ?
^try and report.

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:

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.
Hi,
I was about flashing stock rom (following this thread and using CSE Flashing mode), when suddenly LG Flash Tool crashed on windows (I hate windows). Flashing progress stuck at 16%, so I press and hold power button to power phone off. but when I tried to enter to Download Mode, phone start too boot, and after LG logo, screen keeps going on and off (showing black screen)
I tried to enter to recover or factory hard reset, but it going to Factory data reset, even if I confirm reseting data it would try to boot same as when I tried to get Download Mode.
adb does not work
I followed this thread, but /dev/sdb1..36 just available for a few second and then disappear, after a while they are available and then disappear, and this will going on, (I think this is related to that screen on and off thing)
Would someone help me?
Sorry for my bad english, I'm a little nervous right now
Ok, finally I could see sdb1...36 and do what have been said here, and now I stuck at LG logo at boot.
still cannot get the download mode
factory hard reset is back but it'll stuck at "Factory reset processing..."
I have really lost my respect to flashtool after this kind of errors. If someone solve that issue it would be great for our community
please help

Ubuntu is running in a VM, so I would need Windows to find the phone first.
Unfortunately, Windows never sees the phone.
It's weird though. TWRP got successfully flashed during the QHSUSB_BULK guide method, but I cannot boot into it.

LG D801 (T-Mobile) Bricked[/U][/B]
The device has been bricked and is in this condition:
Download mode shows as dots and is not recognized by Windows (only occasionally as "Unknown Device")
No custom recovery (it has been wiped in fastboot)
No ROM (system was wiped)
It makes a nice paperweight

This device does not allow fastboot, unless there is a software issue (which I cannot purposely cause without ADB in a custom recovery).
I have tried every set of drivers on Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and am unable to change the COM port to 41 because the device isn't recognized at all (it was being recognized last night, but the version of Windows I have didn't have ANY options to change the COM serial port).
No, a rooting method will not work (I'm a Recognized Developer, so trust me).
I have Linux and Windows 7 dual-booting.
I have used everything [URL="http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2F"]HERE

.
I have also tried THIS driver method (when the device was actually visible on Windows, but the driver never successfully installed).
I manually repartitioned the device using this method on Ubuntu, but accidentally used the stock recovery image.
I am trying to use this method, for Windows, with no luck (because of the phone not being recognized on Windows).
I have tried a friend's desktop with no luck. I have used different USB ports and cables, as well.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Especially if I could somehow trigger fastboot.

So you flashed LG's stock recovery, can you actually boot into that?

It just sticks at the "Processing factory reset..." message.
I need a miracle here, haha.
Your download mode works if there are no blue circles when you start it.
Try installing ubuntu, knoppix etc under vmware and see if it gives you any errors.
also under windows watch the devices under device manager.

Oh if his download mode is just hanging at the loading screen but never gets to the loading circle it's most definitely a goner, considering his recovery hangs that probably confirms he dd'ed the wrong bootstack.
@MikeCriggs Check if you have fastboot mode when you try loading recovery or download mode (as the bootloader's fallback) - if not you need to RMA. No big deal I've killed 2 so far via bootloadery mischief.
Is there a JTAG like device out there that can fix this phone's hard bricks?

Did you make sure that when you put your device in download mode that you changed the port to COM41 in device manager?

No worries!
Keep us posted on how it goes.
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 but nothing has worked so far.
Can anyone please help me?

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?

Thanks for the reply! I have tried that and my computer recognizes my phone as LGE Android Phone. It seems like I can't get into any mode at all

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.
