LG G2 | No download mode, no recovery | No brick - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to recover an LG G2 for a client. It is virus infected and the client complaints Google AppStore and Settings not working.
The client likely tried to recover his phone from the viruses but did more harm than good.
I'm having some trouble because:
Download mode does not work
Recovery doesn't work too, the phone shuts down
It ain't bricked
Settings app crashes as soon as I select something from its menu
I can't enable usb debug and dev mode. Without this i can't use adb or fastboot.
Anyone knows anything that may help me?

lg g2 bricked

Not bricked
The only things that don't work is setting menu. I can't enable usb debug and dev mode. Without this i can't use adb or fastboot.
I think that this phone had virus!

Nothing, i can't use this tool because i can't enable usb debugging. Anything else that comes to your mind?

You can't root Froyo with z4Root. Download SuperOneclickRoot 1.7 + and just click the big "Root" button after you connect your phone to your PC. Remember to turn on USB debugging in development menu in applications options.
I see you are using XXJPQ, this is an unknown ROM to us, root is not implemented for this ROM. It may need special tweaking. Have you tried the "rageagainstthecage" method?

i know i must root with SOC, but it freezes on "waiting for device".
yes, this JPQ i can't find anywhere, it came on kies, here in croatia.. i tried "rageagainstthecage", but stil freezes (not responding) on "waiting for device".. i'm crazy, do you know where i can ask for that tweaking or developing?

hi
try this one it works every time for me on all roms i have tried
drop box link : http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10031257/SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse.zip
do one thing if u have any other external hdd or any other USB devices connected to ur pc remove them all i dont know why but some times the apps gets confused and does not work and also temp stop ur virus scan while doing the process
it will work good luck
Super One Click HAS to work.
Since you updated you might not have USB debugging enabled... so make sure you do.
Also, try removing your SD card. (know it sounds stupid... but do it anyway.)

clarkkov said:
No guys, you don't get it. It's an official ROM that we haven't seen yet (At least I haven't seen it). There is no XXJPQ on samfirmware. This is the Q version - the last JP version. If these methods are not working, we need to "crack" the XXJPQ.
Alen, can you dump your ROM on an SD card and then upload it so we can see this wonder?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, i can't find anywhere that JPQ, strange thing.
i would but i don't know how to dump it.. instructions?
With all these troubles, is it worth being on that rom?

Have you enabled the "Debug mode"?

yeees i enabled.. and when i check drivers it says "no issue found!!" i think a problem is that JPQ. i will try tomorrow to save it and upload it.
I was having trouble rooting till a few days ago. of course, i was technically inept and kind of stupid. and though i see your problem might be a bit different because of the official ROM, but it's worth a shot.
Which version of SOC are you using? the one in the rooting thread or the latest one? the 1.7 didn't work for me, neither did 1.8 but 1.9 did the trick. Try that.
did you do the boot method? you turn on the phone while the rooting process is running on your pc and it is waiting for a device?

[Q] Verizon G2 Bricked Without Recovery, Stuck in Fastboot Mode?

Hey guys,
The inevitable has happened: I've finally bricked a device that I can't seem to find the solution to online. Here's what happened:
1. When I got the phone a little over a week ago, I accidentally "broke" the recovery by trying to install CWM through Rom Manager. Turns out that's not something you generally want to do. Oops.
2. I got lazy and put off restoring the stock recovery, instead choosing to deal with the stock launcher.
3. Today, while dealing with the 50th pop-up for the OTA update, I accidentally pressed "Install Now" instead of "Install Later"
Now, when it boots, it briefly shows the LG logo before displaying an all-black screen with small white text reading:
[730] Fastboot mode started
[780] udc_start()
I get a little bit more text when I plug it into my PC. I've been trying to fix it for the past three hours - I've tried countless solutions, but nothing seems to work.
Can anyone out there give me some advice? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Will this work even though I don't have a recovery? The instructions I found (these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960 ) definitely sound as though they were created with a working phone, and some of the instructions linked still imply they have TWRP.
Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it. I feel like I can get this working, it's just going to take some time (something I don't have a lot of, as I'll be camping all weekend).

Lol.. Make sure you get that dll that was mentioned earlier because that's your crack to make the tool work.. If you get a fail but your phone boots up and go through settings don't worry about it it's good.. I know a lot of people were having the fail reset error

So... I followed the guide I posted earlier. It talks about entering download mode, which I'm not able to do, and my phone isn't seen in Device Manager as "LGE AndroidNet for VZW..." (Oddly, it's seen as a "SAMSUNG Android Phone," and under that is "USB Modem Phone ADB port").
When I unplugged and replugged the phone back in, trying to enter download mode even though I haven't been successful with that, nothing happened. LG Flash says it's ready, but nothing activated.
Help??
When it says it's ready unplug it while in download mode and plug it back in.. Make sure you have the ports set right

But I can't enter download mode. If I power off the phone it just brings me straight back to Fastboot.

After 6+ hours of work, I finally have my phone up and running again. Thank you so, so much antawnm. You're awesome for helping me through this. Though that link provided wasn't perfect (it was for the Korean model) it provided me with enough clues to combine it with everything else you sent me and some files I found in a directory (especially the recovery.img file for the VZW LG G2) to get back right to where I was.
The funniest part was, after the phone rebooted itself and I got back to my home screen, the phone informed me that my software update was unsuccessful. I genuinely laughed.
Thanks again.

[Q] Please Help! LG G2 Boot Stall

I rooted my phone some time ago. Saw a LG OTA update last night and tried to install it. The system reboots itself and stuck on the LG logo screen. From then on I can not get out of it. At first I can not power the phone off (I can now.). However, I can not go to either the download mode or the recovery. (could go to the recovery at first, tried to do a hard reset but failed, stuck there. and for whatever reason cant go there anymore.) I downloaded the LG PC suite today and tried to restore it. But the G2 wont go to the download mode. How can i fix it, Help!
Check the "return to stock" guide in general section (I think)

Once your in TWRP click on advanced button, then click on terminal command button. Then hit return on your keypad. then type in exactly what it says: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Broken DL mode, No recovery, Not booting

hey there.
I'm in a situation where i cant boot the phone beyond the LG logo and my download mode is broken because of the bootstack that messes up download mode.
Is there anyway for me to fix this or is my phone now officially dead? I have access to mac and linux (windows if really necessary).
I'm sure I've seen some ask for help in a similar situation, but I've not been able to find the thread.
Thanks

It's F320L, it's clearly mentioned on the back panel of the phone, and in the sticker underneath the batter, also I've used F320L based roms earlier.
But now it act as a D802, I don't know why
Please note, I have no access to Download, fastboot or ADB right now, only thing I can do is boot(end up in boot loop) and go into factory reset option by pressing and holding VOL+ and POWER
