LG G2 fully BRICKED no download no recovery

Hey,
My LG G2 802 is fully bricked now. I can't get anything alse that LG splash screen, I tried entering download or fastboot mode but with no luck.
It happend when my ROM flashing software crashed in the middle of process.
Help me out guys.

i have the same. No download mode, no recovery. Ubuntu don't recognize my G2 (i try all tutorials). Only i saw LG screen. When i press vol- and power 2 times i have option FACTORY RESET but when i do this i saw only FACTORY SETTINGS PROCESSING and stop at this. After restart only LG.

Exacly the same story with factory reset.

1. un plug device from wall or pc
2 make sure phone is all the way off (hold down power and volume down) untill it stops booting
3. hold volume UP while plugging device into pc
4. follow these instructions to return to stock http://www.droidgreen.com/lg-g2-official-stock-android-firmware-rom/
5. allow usb debuging in dev options and install unknown sources in security
6. to root your device go to towelroot.com download apk and install
7. to flash custom recovery use freegee its found in playstore

my phone havent got download mode. I flash KDZ on blue dots downlad mode. After this my phone has bricked. Only black screen. After this i have flash on ubuntu partitions and twrp. Ewerything was ok but after restart my phone dont go to TWRP. Only LG. Now i cant do anything. I havent got download mode and after VOL- and POWER my recovery dont do anything. On monday i will send my phone to service.

IT WORKS!
Well.. problem has been solved almost it self. As I said before I was trying do hold volume UP and plug it to the computer. But phone was showing only the LG logo and that's all. Linux didn't see it either.
When every idea was used I tried to completly discharge it. When it turn off i tried to plug it in and check what happens but AGAIN I saw only LG splash screen and I left it in that way. I came back after maybe 10-15min and I found phone in Download Mode. Linux saw it and without any problem I installed fresh ROM.
Really I can't explain this but it's just happend. So my advice, try any possible solution and method.
Good Luck guys!

Glad to here sound like your device wasn't fully powered off patience is pretty mine say on download mode doing nothing fir 10 minutes once [emoji106]

Thank you, Ick56, for the ray of hope you've given me. My G2 is fully discharged since yesterday and I'm on the same boat as you - no recovery, no download, no fastboot, not detected by the computer. I'm trying your way now. My question is - when you plugged it in fully discharged, did you hold any buttons?
Thanks again and thanks in advance!

Thank you for your answer, but I wasn't asking how to get to download mode. I was asking the OP what he did when his battery was fully discharged.

I just plugged it in to the computer. Yes, it's sounds ridiculous but in some way after few minutes it worked. Maybe try it with volume up too, who knows what will happen ;p

Thanks again. Here's what happens:
1. While unplugged, I entered the Factory Reset mode and left it as it is (didn't push any buttons) in order for the display to drain the battery;
2. When the battery was drained the phone went off;
3. After waiting for a few seconds I plugged it into the computer;
4. The red led was flashing for a minute or so and then the LG logo came on;
5. I'm now waiting.
Will post again when/if anything happens
EDIT: Almost an hour now and still only LG logo

i have the same.

[Q] my tmobile g2 is hardbriked :( help me

such friends have a big problem with my G2 I want meti up the volume on the stock rom kit kat and so we change the audio xml file I saw in a tutorial here in HTCMania, but restarting the phone will stay locked in bootloop where it says tmobile.
then proceeded to do hard reset thinking that would be solved well but after performing hard reset STAYING was still locked.
well I'll have to reinstall the software and told me when I headed to want to put the phone in download mode (off the phone and press Vol + connect usb cable) to my surprise the phone did not enter the download mode. the only thing it does is connect the cable to charge on and get off.
and since then I can not find a way to revive him because I can not install the software, and "NO I HAVE INSTALLED A CUSTOM RECOVERY" so do not'm desperate someone could throw me a light? if somehow you could do enter download mode on the phone in an alternative way?
my device is a rooted

First i would try getting in to recovery using the hardware keys. Look it up on you tube. Then you should be able to use a back up if you made one.
To get in download mode you need to power off then while powering on hold the vol down key and plug in the usb cable. That will get you in download mode. You shouldn't have to do that though if you have a back up. Your phone isnt bricked?

sorry friend, but is that as explained in the previous post: long press volume + but does not go into download mode, this as locked or not happens.: Llanto:

Jesus Christ.
Press and hold power and volume down until the display shuts off and the LG logo appears. Then, try pressing and holding volume up and volume down until a hard reset option appears. Reset the device and try booting it up. You will lose all data on it, but that's what you get if you're not smart enough to back it all up.

A hard reset will not help if he made changes to the system partition (which it sound like he did). If he has a recovery installed (kind of a weird sentence in the OP) this would take him into the custom recovery though.
@tuberodx7 If all else fails I'm convinced you can get it into download mode if you do it right, something like that should definitely not kill that. From there you can flash a factory image (Search for the return to stock thread in the General forum)... Your device is far from hardbricked, please do your research...

THis is general thread. Post it at Q/A.

Ok, if you're absolutely definitely positively sure you're doing it right and it still doesn't work, you might have to manually reflash some of the partitions... Refer to this thread (and be careful) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

Cannot boot even into download mode after changing Fast Dormancy setting

Hi,
I thought I could enter the Hidden Menu and change the Fast Dormancy setting into disabled, so I did it and wanted to reboot my phone. The phone turned off, and was doing its boot up procedure, while it started behaving abnormally. The LG logo popped up for about 5 seconds (so it didn't leave the bootloader), turned off for 10 seconds and then again the whole process repeated. I thought that was a bootloop, so I turned it off, entered Factory Reset menu, chose appropriate options and waited for the reset, but the phone didn't perform the action. Then I tried to get into download mode, but to no avail - the phone kept going with bootloop. I'm still struggling to do this; the only menu I could get into was the Factory Reset one.
Could anyone help me get my phone back into function?
D802, 20G stock
Thanks in advance!

That's weird. I always disable fast dormancy after a reset or a new rom flash and I've never had any issues.
What comes instead of download mode? If nothing, Are you sure you're doing it correctly?
Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds.
Plug the phone into the cable, then press and hold volume up and plug the cable into the computer. That should trigger download mode.

Thank you for your help.
I know that's weird, I've entered Download mode numerous times using the combination that you provided and can't do it this time. The strangest thing actually is that the factory reset menu does show up (though it does nothing), while Download mode does not - it seems to be actually unaffected by using the combination and is still stuck in a bootloop. I have no idea what steps should I take in order to recover my phone.
I forgot to mention that the phone wasn't even rooted then, which makes it even more mysterious...

Ouch! Well what comes up when you enter download mode? Fastboot? Black screen?
If you're still covered by warranty take it for a replacement. I doubt fast dormancy alone has messed up your device. If it truly has, then try booting the phone without a sim card.

Normally when I insert the USB cable with vol up button pressed, the LG logo shows up, then the notification of Download mode and finally the Software Update screen. But this time, only the LG logo shows for about 5 seconds, as if I normally booted it using Power button and does not get me into neither Download nor Fastboot mode.
Well, I took a look at other options in this hidden menu, but still, could it brick that hard even then?
I doubt whether I'm still eligible for a replacement, as the device had been rooted already (though it's not at the moment). The whole process also takes quite a lot of time, which is why I wanted to avoid it. Is there any method to bring it back to life?

I wanted to revive my phone using the method linked with flashing the whole partitions onto my phone, but Ubuntu didn't even notice that any drive was connected...
Am I doing something wrong? I mean e.g. is the combo Vol Up + cable still the same in D80220G? Is there any other way of accessing the phone through my computer? Can I somehow stop this bootloop from continuously happening? Doesn't the fact that I can get into Factory Reset menu help in any way?
Thanks for your help in adavnce!

Turn off the phone. Plug the PC end of the USB cable in the PC. Press and hold volume up and plug in the USB cable in the phone. Hold it like that. After a couple of seconds, you should be in download mode. Then use LG Flashtool/LGUP to flash Lolipop/Marshmallow.

now stuck on logo

A1 Suddenly Dead

Hi
i bought before 2 weeks Xiaomi a1
it wored very good.
Today while I wanted to turn on the screen it did not respond.
The phone is not responding to any type of pressing.
I must say that the phone is new, did not get any kind of hit , and 5 min before this problem it used to work really good.
I think that the phone is in brick mode, and i can't enter to fastboot option because the phone is not responding....
Pls help my solve this problem.
Thanks

Try holding the pwoer button for more then 10 seconds, that should reset it... once you start it up aghain turn of ambient screen... Gave me troubles too... Hope that helps.

Has that still not been fixed with November update? I turned my ambient screen back on to see. So far, 2 days since update and no black screen after notification.

I'm guessing it's not dead. I have the same problem before as well. It was the buggy Ambient Display. Force restart your phone by pressing power button and holding it more than 10 second. First thing on boot up complete, go to Settings > Display and turn off Ambient Display.

Well there is something strange.
Leave the phone discharge
Then let it charge
Then power on with vol down + power

Try these 2 things
1) charge your phone for 2-3 hours. if didnt switch on try this 2
2) Connect your data cable with pc. In mobile Press volume up + volume down and plug in the other end of usb cable to your mobile. you need to hold the keys. this will boot your phone into fastboot.
If boot steps didnt work then it might be a hardware problem or hard brick.

Visit customer care(they will probably say motherboard problem as always) or try qfil method which is quite complex if this flashing things are new to you.

you should press the power key while charging cable connected.If it doesn't work , unplug the charging usb and plug again reverse(type c's reversibility).If it can't, try with another AC source,another person,another location.

You switched off the phone in middle of installing ota, best bet is take it to the take it to the service center and tell them phone not switching back on after installing August ota update.
Or if not in warranty then try to install stock rom using qfil.

Unfortunately you have bricked your Mi A1

You have bricked your Mi A1, when you turned it off while installing/flashing the August update. Basically you should never turn a smartphone off, or disconnect the USB cable (if it is connected), while flashing its ROM.
There are various methods to unbrick it, I suggest you try this one since it's apparently not going into fast boot:
