Hello XDA,
I stupidly put my G2 in bootloop. It is 802, 20h, stock rom/recovery and rooted with ioroot.
I managed to break it by removing the LGweather.apk and LGslideaside.apk from system app because I was tired of seeing them taking memory for no reason. After a reboot, it is blocked at LG logo.
I have made a nandroid backup some time ago through an app so I have those APK on my computer, I just need to put them back with adb.
I can get it to download mode (picture here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58181792&postcount=4), but I can't get adb to detect the device although I tried many drivers.
My question are: Am I losing my time by trying to have adb work or it is a driver problem and it will eventually be able to push the file if I can have the phone recognised by adb?
Should I try the hard reset offered through the keys combination? I am very much afraid it would make it worse as I changed many things in the phone through xposed.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Flash the SAME rom via lg flash tool (choose normal mode because it doesn't touch your files)

Well I would have prefered not to, but as I couldn't get adb to work and the hard reset only brought me back LG sound when bootlooping, I had to.
It worked wonderfully, thanks. I have to try to get root back now (even if it shows as rooted in download mode).
The rooted is more like cosmetic

thats not even close to a hard brick it is in bootloader mode do not let it die keep it plugged in because if the battery dies then you have a real big problem im not sure what to do after this but i know you dont want the battery to die
well that's reassuring
Keeping phone plugged in. Now if I can get some tips as to why I cant get it to communicate with ubuntu in this bootloader mode to push the files I need. Any help anyone? Please. Where I go from here?

Just install lg drivers - if it doesn't work then download adb drivers..
+please see the device manager for new devices and "not installed drivers"
+ look here
I will try when I get home thanks for your help so far at work no computer access. Thanks again bender I will let you know how everything goes.

if you manage to install the driver the rest should go easy.
It's weird, on some systems it wont install the driver properly(adb) but google nexus driver installs fine.
i was hoping so

Ultra brick G2 vs980! T_T
Good night lords of XDA!
I come to you after exhausting all that I could find and try, hope you can enlighten me, you would save a new G2 that is about to become a gleaming brick:
Summary: I have in hand a Verizon LG G2 vs980, with the intention of using it in Spain. After a bad flash a ROM for a different model, you could not access recovery mode or download mode, only fastboot.
Thanks to this great tutorial, I could flash by ADB and fastboot files an official ROM for this G2, but after a correct process, the G2 restarted and only shows "Security error" before shutting ...
I still do not have access to recovery or download, and now not to fastboot. Only allows me to access the screen "Factory reset", but in doing nothing changes.
How could re-flash a recovery or something like that allows me relive my G2?
Thank you very much in advance. You are my salvation. XD
PS: I apologize for any clerical error or misused term. I do not usually write in English.

Sorry, wrong thread. XDD
Hello Everyone,
I've been looking around and can't seem to find any guide I can get to work.
A couple months ago, I rooted my LG G2 and installed Cyanogen mod successfully. After a couple days, for some reason I restored to a backup I made back before I installed Cyan, so it was just on the Stock OS. A couple days later my phone tried to update itself and it bricked it. I was an idiot and wiped everything for some reason so theres nothing on there but the LG logo and then it goes to TWRP.
So now I'm not quite sure what to do. I can adb push and sideload just fine, but I've tried pushing a zip with the stock OS and installing it but everytime it just says it failed. Ive also pushed cyan on again and it says successfully installed and then just goes back to TWRP again. Can anyone help me with what to do from here? Do I need a certain tool to re install the OS? Will pushing it and then installing it with TWRP not work?
thanks!
Reflash lg g2 stock rom .
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Free mobile app
How would I go about flashing the stock rom?
Ive been trying to use this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
But every time I try to use the "Automatic offline procedure" I get an error saying permission denied. I made sure the drivers and everything were installed
Any ideas?
Right click - Run as administrator.
Or do it manually
https, window enabler..etc.
Alright, so I was able to do it manually, but in the instructions it says to enable usb debugging. Just to clarify my phone is basically stuck in TWRP, so will this even work?
My comp doesnt even recognize my phone as an LG G2 it says something like ADB galaxy nexus.

That's ok.
Open cmd line where your adb is. Put some rom inside.
Let's say the rom is : mycoolrom.zip
adb push mycoolrom.zip /sdcard/mycoolrom.zip
then flash it.

I did this, but like I said in the original post when I try to flash it, it just says failed every time. Ive tried files from all over and they all fail. Could you point me in the right direction of one that might work?
Thanks
You didn't mention download mode.
Try powering off the device, hold volume up and connect to pc ?
Is the download mode at least working ?

Nope, no matter what I do it just goes to TWRP
And just to be clear it pushes over fine, and the zip is on the phone, its just when I try to flash it on TWRP it says failed. the last error code just said unable to open Zip
Hi, so apparently I screwed up badly?
I have a LG G2 LG D805 and I was trying to install the CloudyG3 LP ROM, but I failed to see it was only for some variants, and mine wasn't included. Except I only noticed it after wiping System and, well, basically everything on my phone. So I'm getting the LG stuck screen, of course.
I can get into Recovery just fine, so I went to TWRP (that is still accessible) and:
* I tried adb push a new ROM on my phone, but I can't make my computer recognize my phone
*I tried adb sideload to the same effect (I get stuck on "Start SDB sideload feature..." and my PC doesn't recognize it)
Funny enough, my computer does makes the little USB connected sound? But when I list adb devices, the list is empty. Doing adb sub just says "device not found". I even changed cable/port, but nothing.
Then I tried to go to Download Mode and use LG Flash Tool to flash my phone but... I'm getting an error on the computer when trying to do that. I can still access TWRP though.
I'm scared of trying something else and making this worse? So if anyone could point me to a way of fixing my phone, I would be so so so grateful. :crying: please this is my only phone and I use it for work!
Nevermind, I managed to fix it
Hi,
I'm opening a thread because I just couldn't find any way to unbrick my device. In the past I used the FlashTool2014 to go back to the stock LP KDZ for my device.
I was in the stock rom when I decided to mess with the build.prop and then went back to the stock backup. When I restarted the phone it showed the LG logo, screen went black and never booted android. I could access the stock recovery but the Factory Reset won't work.
Then I decided to go to download mode, it connects and the PC detects it as an MTP device. I open the FlashTool2014 and it detects the device OK. When the LGUserCSTool opens it says the Upgrade stopped due to an error and the device stays on 0% and shows USER B70 in the console. I can press Retry, turn off the phone and reconnect in Download mode but the LGCSTool just wont push the firmware.
I suspected I had a driver issue so I tried using a clean win8 install I have for this purposes without success. I cant flash with the TOT method since the other LG Flash Tool wont detect the device in download mode when connected to the pc. This is really weird.
Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Solved with another tot file (almost lost all hope), took me 20+ hours to download it, I'll better make a backup of this files on the cloud. Still having problems with STOCK firmwares but could install TWRP and get CM13 which doesn't give any problems.

Hello guys!
Unfortunately I have managed to full brick my phone which has worked without any issues for more then 3 years.
My story:
1. Phone started to have random restarts, basicaly, when phone lagged little bit - it restarted phone.
2. When I did manual restart, I got into bootloop and could not get out
3. With a heavy heart I did a factory reset. - Problem with random restarts ontinued together with random bootloops.
4. Did maybe 5 more factory resets, nothing happened.
5. Found a tutorial to flash new firmware.I was on 5.0.2 D802 30d so I used same. (PC suite could not find my phone and LG support tool always freezed on SW install)
6. I used LG Flash tool with normal flash. - used *.kdz which I have downloaded via LG support tool - checked size with dl from source from xda and they were same so i used it.)
7. All success, but device keep restarting - i think no bootloop anymore.
8. I did full flash again with LG flash tool so have a clean install and hopefully fix everything.
9. Suddenly mid-install my phone auto-disconnected from laptop and even with Retry attemps I wasnt able to get it running again. Then my phone restarted itself and that was it.
Now I cannot go to recovery mode, I cannot go to Download mode, all I see is black screen (turns some light on little bit underneath but no data visible).
Also when connect to my Windows 10 laptop multiple discs trying to load and trying to format disk. (one of them contains folder image with some files inside).
I dont have root, I dont have any other tools installed on my phone, just a normal user.
I tried to download adb but i dont understand it much, and also it cannot find my device.
Is there any way how to still fix my phone or is it completely lost
If so, I please you for a dummies step-by-step list .
Thank you so much in advance. :crying:
So good news,
I managed to load img back with dd application.
My Download mode together with factory reset is working.
I have tried to flash it with LGUP and even with some accused usb disconnections I probably managed to flash new lollipop to my phone.
Now it is optimalizing apps to load android correctly. Only issue I have is low battery, it always drains it too quickly so it cannot load properly.
Any idea how to charge the battery? Every time I connect phone with usb cable it starts up into boot, possible bootloop (cannot say if it is because of low battery or real bootloop)
Thanks
Dude try to install crdroid 7.1.2 nougat rom of d802 this will fix your battery problem
root it and install TWRP with srktools 2.0
this is best way to root G2 5.0.1 lolipop
you can also use LG One Click Root to obtain root then don't update su binary and install Autorec of you model to get twrp
