LG G2 Bricked, Need urgent assistance. - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I need some serious help guys. Phone is stuck at boot logo and wont turn on. IT wont enter recovery mode. it wont hard reset. It wont enter download mode.
The phone was completely stock originally. So i rooted using towelroot and ran the 'AutoREC' program. That did its thing and restarted and got stuck in fastboot mode. couldnt get out of it. Eventually managed to reflash all the original stock ROM partitions and it started to boot again... only to get stuck at the LG logo. I need some serious help.
PC wont detect the phone at all and its as if there is no OS on the phone. I have the D802 variant 32gb.

which kdz variant did you flash.

same thing happened to a d802 of a friend of mine. but he flashed the d802h variant. will keep you posted if i find a way out.

I am in the same position. Except I tried to flashify stock recovery on d800 at&t variant. I wanted to install the stock update because I was still stock. Just root with twrp before...I had the sprint variant before the ls980 and it never screwed me over like this. I'll post if I figure anything out... I got to get ahold of shellnutt... He's the g2's god.

Have you tried both ways to enter recovery?
Push PWR + Vol Down till you see the LG Logo then release and press both again
Push PWR + Vol Down till you see the LG logo then release and press and hold the volume up and volume down buttons until reset screen appears.
If you can see the LG logo I think you are not Hard Bricked

I haven't tried that exactly. I'll give it a shot when I get a chance

You may want to check your internal hardware to be sure it's marked as a D802. Typically the feint white stamp in the lower center/left of the phone with rear cover removed is the true model number. It's also stamped on the board and on the ribbon cables going up eithe side. Your device is showing the signs of a false d802 which has become sadly common in recent months.

If it's legit d802 then flash aboot, boot, laf and power it off.
Then hold voume up and connect to pc while still holding volume up.
Make sure you have the drivers installed, fire up lg mobile support tool or the lg flash tool 2014 (you need your kdz file now - find it using your imei and lg-firmware site)

Okay so I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404 to get it to come up as a device in Windows and Linux. And this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 I'm sure you read this but you need to do it after following the first guide. I already have a Linux installed and I'm going to try today. I'll update with a guide for you only if you need it and if I succeed. I just need to remind you. You CANNOT mess up on the second guide... Well as far I can tell. But if the first guides label is actually true then maybe I'm wrong.

ok so ive ordered some tools to open up the phone and check the internals. Hopefully its a legit G2. Meanwhile every single possible combination of the power and volume keys does absolutely nothing. If all else fails ill try shorting the capacitors as ive seen on a guide from here and hopefully that will be the end of it. Thanks for all the input guys. Ill keep you posted!

Plug it into a windows machine, open device manager and look for Qualcomm qhsusb_bulk. If you get that, you're already in bulk and don't need to worry about shorting capacitors. If it's not being recognized in any way, you may be forced into that as a last resort.

All you really need to open it up is a guitar pick. It pries apart make sure you take the sim card out. After that it's going to take a little swipe around the edge and it'll pop open no problem.

I checked that already. Not going into bulk mode. Seems like the capacitors are my last resort

so ive poped the phone open and guess what... its not a D802.. its a D800.. the at&t version... wtf.. no wonder i bricked it. gonna see if i can use the unbrickable method

did you checked the IMEI?

nope its says on the speaker grille after you remove the back cover. "D800"

how is that possible? did phone information apps showed your device as 802 aswell? did kernel info and phone info in system settings lied too?

I cannot read.

Exhaust all options before giving it up for repair or warrenty exchange good luck and i hope you are more secessful then i was. Altho rogers did send me out a new phone good luck
thank you guys , my phone when on lg logo, and connected to pc, i can see it in device manager under modem as LGE android net usb modem,
and under ports as LGE android serial port com 8, any chance or sign of live to my phone, as mentionned before, there is no waranty services in our country.

LG Flash Tool crashed while flashing, phone bricked

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
IM SORRY

Somewhere in the forum i saw that you can detect your phone as a adb device on ubuntu or etc. Have you tried that? Im really feeling sorry about hearing that issue. As advice use old flashtool method that is harder but safer

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.

If you see the lg logo maybe you will have a change. A guy who had the same results like you brings his phone plugged for 10-15 minutes than he have find his phone in download mode. Of course he plug the cable while holding the down button. I hope you will get your phone back with its functions

Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 nexus 6P (HELP!)

Hi there, I've been browsing through the threads related to unbricking of the Nexus 6P stuck in qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 mode, really desperate to get my device working again if even possible however I've tried for about four days now different ways and files and I've had no luck.
My bootloader is locked and no ADB etc managed to get my device showing as the 9008 port so I think it's stuck in EDL.
Following guides, this is the furthest I've yet to get (In screenshot)
Could anyone shed some light and some assistance please? what am I doing wrong!?

Use a hairdryer to warm up the back of the phone.
Are you pulling my leg? Warm it up then reflash?
nah im not trying to make you destroy your phone, being rather serious with this method. i use it on a daily basis to solve phones that fail during restoring factory images. i wouldn't know how long to give it with a hair dryer as i have access to a heat gun/heat mats .
just think of it as a cheap mans re balling method

thank you so much that worked, it has said flash successful, first time I got a google logo but now nothing, what would be my next step please?
if the bootloader is unlocked then you can directly flash the firmware. but if its not google "nexus ota" and then on your phone jump into the recovery and check the firmware model number and download the same ota and adb sideload it.
im not 100% sure on the next step as I've never had a nexus 6p with a dead bootloader. but thats what id do.
---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 PM ----------
but from my personal experience with having to heat a phone up to restore factory images, it kinda means the phone is nearing the end of its life and id start thinking about buying your next phone before it sh*ts the bed.

Thank you for the reply and continuing to help, after seeing the google logo just once I'm getting nothing again - I'm even more determined now though as It's been dead for 2 months so this is the furthest I've gotten - the application of heat is what did it for me and fixed the error I was getting, can't get into recovery now though holding power + down etc

yeah can you access the bootloader at all ? does it say that the bootloader is locked ? from trying to restore LG's it sometimes has to be re heated a few times, but yeah if you need to re heat it to get further into the phone then its pretty much a lost cause. the only reason i do it is to remove the data so we can resell the device.

I believe so, I can just about get into the bootloader at the best of times and when I do I can select options but once proceeding to start said mode phone freezes so can't get into recovery mode :/
Thank you for your continuous help, only way i can get it into bootloader is by heating it up so does that mean for the device to ever work It'll need heat every time? looking like a spares and repairs listing on ebay

Hello....
How did you manage to get in to EDL mode..? I'm really curious. With stock bootloader? Since you can't access recovery
Also what is exactly displayed in Windows device manager?
You are using an outdated QFil version... It is from 2014 àr 2015.
Do a google search with: QPST_2.7.453.0 . This version seem to be from 2016.
Use the first link from the result. I analysed the files with virustotal, those seem clean or malware...
Also when plugging your usb cord to your PC, does your phone vibrate? Or does the LED blink in red?
You may have to press power button when plugging the usb cord or press power button for a certain amount of time before you plug the usb cord. I'm not completly sure, but your phone may not be in the "proper" EDL state to accept the QFil flash.
Good luck... :good:
Is it possible to send me the guide you used? Thanks.

Hey there sorry for slow replies, will be back on my desktop in an hour I'll send you links for what I followed and such, I think the only reason my device was in EDL mode was due to a hardware fault? As my device is faulty indefinitely as I had to use a hairdryer to warm it up while flashing this then allowed it to enter firehose state which a lot of people seem to error with - after all my attempts and research I'm to velieve there's a fault with the phone itself the only way I could get it to even power up was applying heat to it after removing the back panel
As blackcell said deballing or something? Worked a treat!
Furthest I've managed to get now is into my boot loader however everything is locked - when I press enter recovery my handset just freezes ?

Light usually a red LED blink while in proper EDL state as far as I know. Could be something else on the N6P. Well, it looks like you are SOL. Sorry, I don't know what else to say, since you exhausted all possibilities...

I wonder:
-Which is your phone model, as stated on the back of the phone?
-Which is the file that you used to downgrade?
-Which stock rom did you try to flash?
The fix is pretty simple but seeing how you borked three simple procedures I'd like to know everything and lay it out for you precisely. You have to have done something horribly wrong to softbrick a phone with the stock updater system...

Okay at first my phone model on the back of my device is, as i mentioned before, "zte a2017g" thats the european version of this phone, chinese is "a2017" and the us version is "2017u".
The file i used 2 downgrade was the stock rom from the official website of zte
it was the full edl file buildnumber b10.
and again i once sofbricked it, i know how 2 fix that, but now it hard bricked, well i think so at least, i cant get it to boot into bootloader, recovery or anything, when i hold the power button it shakes the device, and it shows the zte logo for about 2 seconds then it disappears, and nothing happens but my computer does recognize it as a connected device but i cant use miflash of something else because those programs dont see it.

all right. it's still freaking weird. Use my DFU unbrick guide but only do step 4 and 5 (but use the files on the top anyways)(you just have to hold Vol+ and Vol - and insert the cable instead of taking the phone apart and shorting pins). After that check the driver, if it is still Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 then flash with MiFlash, if not, tell me what appears

First of all, if you get an error TELL ME what it says!
Send me a screenshot of the device manager, i can do very little with "yellow triangle"
Don't bother? That guy is using XDA as a free emergency support without looking for one second.
He probably would like you to do a teamviewer while he's watching football with a beer and not even say thank you.
I'm horrified.

Sorry, I don't believe you for one second. Like litterally THOUSANDS of people here and here opening "bricked plz hlp" threads, you didn't even have the BASIC, LOWEST courtesy of writing more than 10 words of gibberish whining about your situation, without a single usefull element of context.
Proof of that in the NUMEROUS questions asked about ELEMENTARY elements about your situation. You're litterally the kind of person that would go to a car mechanic, drop the keys on the counter saying "my car is broken, fix it" and just leave without a single word added. That's RUDE and, yeah, I'm tired AF of people like you who can't READ THE DAMN XDA RULES and got NOT education whatsoever.
Nd writng frm a phone in T9 mde dsnt rlly bring nythng mre on the tble either.
Too bad you found somebody to help, as it's only encouraging that kind of behaviour.

Okay, let's try two things:
First right click on it and uninstall the device, also delete driver software for the device (it will be a checkbix asking for that after you hit 'uninstall device'). After that, hold Volume up, Volume down, and Power until the Device manager refreshes. After that the driver should reinstall itself. If it still shows with the yellow triangle, right click it, click on Properties, and send me a screenshot (or translate me what it says on the status part)

if you can only get to dfu mode and nothing else, use thise guide, you'll have to dismantle your phone. Had to unbrick mine with this from a hardbrick, worked flawlessly

Hey, a couple of things: one, i've updated the guide, it's around, much simpler to use. just saying. Two, this guy has the right driver. Don't confuse him with DFU while at least for now it is not.

9.0.5 Bricked itself?

Hey guys, I have the T-Mobile 6T, unlocked and rooted, worked perfect until today.
Today it took the 9.0.5 OTA, it downloaded, installed, rebooted and left me with
"<!> BUILD VERSION and HW VERSION IS NOT MATCH"
Any chance someone can help?
I can't get it into recovery or anything.
The MSM download tool will help you.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...t-mobile-oneplus-6t-msmdownloadtool-t3868916/
I had hoped that it would. Unfortunately, I can't get it to work..
it seems that the phone just keeps rebooting before the tool can actually do anything.
The most I get is "Start download firehose binary" and the the phone disconnects.
Next is "Sahara Communication Failed."
after a few dozen more tries, I got a bit more. Now it says "Images do not match the phone!"
Try restarting into qcom mode as well as plugging into diff USB ports. Mine was doing that as well and eventually was able to get it to work.
How do I get into qcom mode?

Hold Power, Vol up, and Vol down. Screen will be completely black but phone will be recognized in device manager and will give you a COM port.
Also make sure you're using the Tmobile MSM Download Tool and not the one for international version. See link above that I posted.
Looks like it was the usb cable.
but I'm still stuck at "Images do not match with the phone!"
This is the T-Mobile variant, flashed with the global rom.

I thought I was, but I will re-download and see.
That was it, thank you! I don't know where the hell I got the wrong copy from!
You really bailed me out, thank you very much.

No problem. There's two tools in the guides section and the threads have similar names so it's easy to get mixed up.
In the future if you're going to international 9.0.5 or 9.0.6 make sure to use the full rom and not just OTA.
I have the Same problem

Oh boy, look what I found right in the thread about the MSM tool! Please see attached screenshot.
I have this issue on the international variant of the phone (Yes mine truly is the international model, it has dual sim, although its refurbished so the refurbishers borked something)

I used the international version on mine (T-Mobile 6T) since was in software and hardware error. You don't have to come back to TMobile software mandatory.

I've tried the different tools to no avail. also holding power, vol up and down will only go into fastboot mode. I believe just holding vol up and down is the qcom mode and inserting the usb c cable after about 10 seconds of holding those two buttons. otherwise the device will just keep rebooting into fastboot
