[Q] Soft-brick? ADB sees the phone.

Hello guys, I have a problem with this phone.
First I flashed the euro+fastboot kdz... The phone booted and worked awesome but It wasn't showing recovery or LG logo.
Somewhere on this forum I read that you had to flash v10c and then v20B to fix this.
I did so, v10c failed, but v20B flashed correctly, but it didn't boot up.
I'm still stuck here, the phone is completely dark, but when I connect it to the pc I can see it with ADB, It just doesn't go into fastboot mode (because of v20B I guess). But flashing the euro kdz won't work anymore, and I'm stuck in ADB without fastboot.
Hope you guys can help me,
Juxter.

Thumbs up solution to get logo
solution from 4PDA
flash first french firmware _hxxp://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/GT540/ANEUBK/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz
(you must make kdz flasher fullscreen and change right option to CS_EMERGENCY)
dont boot android , remove accu reinsert them and press vol - and plug usb cable into port on mainboard - you must get in download mode )
flash firmware with fastboot (i use CIS _hxxp://narod.ru/disk/26675062000/V20B_00.kdz.html)
boot android and flash this firmware _hxxp://narod.ru/disk/25473801000/out.kdz.html
after this you must see all logo ( LG , Motion LG , Android )
after this flash firmware you like (custom fastboot e t с)

So after 4 5 6 or maybe 10 times, it will finally become working, that's what you're saying?
This is really odd, something's wrong with these phones lol
Okay, i'll load myself with a ton of patience and repeat the steps as per the instructions. This is *exactly* how i am doing it, with all the details:
1) Using the French v20A ROM - http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/GT540/ANEUBK/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz and this Russian one - http://narod.ru/disk/25473801000/out.kdz.html
2) Take out the battery, SIM card and SD card
3) While holding the Vol - button, plug USB into phone so that the phone goes into Download Mode
4) Run the KDZ Updater, put it into CS_Emergency mode
5) Select the French V20A rom and flash it
6) When it's finished (immediately after the DOWNLOAD MODE letters vanish), i pull out the USB plug from the PC, so that the phone doesn't boot.
7) Again hold Vol - and reinsert USB to put the phone back in Download Mode
8) In KDZ Updater (still in CS_Emergency mode) select out.kdz and flash it
9) Let the phone boot into Android
At this point i STILL don't have a boot animation, should i keep doing this until i see one appear?
When it (if) finally appears, i just flash my own ROM, do a factory reset and it should stay that way, correct?
I guess my impossibility to access recovery mode also has something to do with this...

Note: For above step: 1) Using the French v20A ROM
-- as long as you have the ROM of v20 with fastboot option, it doesn't really matter.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply, I actually fixed it following this:
hxxp://modaco.com/topic/329863-how-to-raise-gt540-from-the-dead/
Once I got fastboot with that cwm.kdz I reflashed a fastboot rom, and from that one I could use the KDZ updater again, following the French kdz procedure...
The phone now is fully working recovery and bootanimations again

First double check that you can enter recovery. Hold the power button until the phone completely shuts down. Wait 5 seconds. Then hold power + volume down until it vibrates and LG logo shows up. Release both buttons. Then press them again quickly and hold them. You will enter recovery. Or the phone my offer to do a factory reset which btw won't happen since it will go to recovery by pressing the power button 2 more times. If you have TWRP then you are good. Install ADB on your PC and the LG drivers. When you have ADB, Download (check everything) related to JB and KK. Reboot the PC. Connect your phone with the cable. The PC will not recognize the phone. You have to use a little trick in the device manager first:
Press the windows key + pause/break and click on device manager. Right click on the faulty device with the yellow exclamation mark and hit properties then update driver. Click on the second option then from the list search for ADB or ADB device or something along those lines. Select the LG driver and hit OK. Unplug the phone. The phone must be in recovery still. Inside recovery hit advanced and look for ADB sideload. Check both checkboxes on what to wipe. If you don't already have a rom you want to flash, then use this one. It is a very stable and fast one and I only recommend it because I had the same issue as you and it worked for me. Download that rom and rename the zip file to rom.zip and copy it to the location where your adb.exe file is. You will also need the KK baseband modem otherwise auto rotation won't work. Search for it on the D802 dev thread. Now on your PC, open a command prompt inside the directory you copied the rom.zip (shift + right click) and hit "open command prompt here". Type in:
adb devices (this will ensure that your connection with the phone is alive. If you see some weird string then it works. That is the name of the phone btw)
adb sideload rom.zip

Installation will now begin. You are saved.
Of course all the above only applies if you have acces to recovery. But I wonder how could you screw that one up. It's literally a simple apk installation and a 1 button solves everything app. If you don't have recovery you can still try to save your phone with download mode. Here is a link that maybe helps but I havent tested it
And one last thing: Don't use Flashtool.

thanks man. But unfortunately no recovery. The phone ONLY goes to download mode.
I will try to flash .kdz because tot method didn't work. If .kdz fails then i don;t know.... expensive paper holder

Have the same issue on D802 G2 here. How'd you solve it?

D802 bricked after Lollipop update

Hello, today i tried to flash from recovery this lollipop zip: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development-d802/rom-stock-30d-flashable-zip-t3070383 and flashed immediately TWRP also.
Now when i boot up the device I get a critical demigod error screen from which I can enter Download mode.
So i tried to install v30a .kdzwith flashtool but the installation fails...
Any suggestions? D:
I can only get to download mode, the phone is correctly recognized from the pc and LG Mobile Support Tools sees the device but with SW OPTIMUSG3 1.4.1 (the rom i had when I flashed Lollipop)!

As said above, you should try .tot method; I was like you, .kdz didn"t work, but .tot method works perfectly. You'll be on 4.2.2, 'cause .tot method only support 4.2.2 version of android on D802, but you can upgrade after with .zip rom or re-try .kdz method.
Check second part of this tutorial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 ( "2015 (updated with pictures) TOT method" ).
Yeah, final thing: if, after .tot method you're stuck in bootloop, factory reset your phone (power off, then volum down + power key, wait for LG logo, release buttons, then volum down + power key again, and your phone should work like a charm). Let us know if it work!

do tot methot and it wil work follow this instructions get the tot files and the right dll i copy paste from a guy that had optimus and worked like this on him
"My problem was the infamous 2% bug with the KDZ. I think reason for this is the wrong device ID set in the 'build.prop' by the G3 rom for the G2. The flash tool expects a G2 but sees a G3.
I did not find a workaround for this BUT there is one for the TOT method. You will need:
- LGUnitedMobileDriver_S51MAN312AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.1 2.3.exe (version does not matter)
- Setup_LGFlashTool_1.8.1.1023.exe - for flashing of a TOT
- LGUP_8974.dll - this is needed for the flash tool to accept all TOTs
- the right TOT for your device
Please google these, I just checked and found them all. You can also find instructions for them.
Install drivers and LGFlashTool then start it.
Start smartphone in download mode by holding the volume up key while plugging USB in PC. Phone must be off.
Wait for the device recognition then change COM port of the new device in Windows device manager to something between 41-56 so that the flash tool can find the phone. In the model config window of the flash tool select the 'manual mode' then enter the path to the downloaded LGUP_8974.dll in 'DLL' and the path to your TOT file in 'S/W'. Set 'Action mode' to 'BOARD DL' then press 'OK'.
Your phone should be shown on selected COM port. Now you can press Start (the arrow).

LG Leon 4G [MS345] HARD BRICKED?

Hi so my friend gave me his LG Leon to flash CM 12 because he didn't use it anymore. For my surprise when i turned on the phone it boots automatically in flash mode showing "910K" in the little box. I try to flash a kdz but nothing works, when the phones restarts boots in flash mode again.
I installed TWRP but always is showing that is not detecting the OS.
Why can I do?
Is a corruption of the partitions?
help

Try to flash a official rom using LGMobile Support tool. Connect the phone, open the program and Select "Option -> Upgrade recovery".

From what I can gather, the recovery was either replaced with an incorrect version or was corrupted.
Follow @He.Art

I had one backup of lgms345 flashabe if u want...its more easier

autorec and brick

Hi All,
i have an LG G2 (D802) with Stock Rom 4.2.2 and wanted to install Cyanogenmod 13 and i did something wrong.
I downloaded and copied two files
autorec.apk for D802
"Latest Release 2016-04-18"
(not "Latest Release Recovery")
i ran autorec.apk and booted into recovery, wipe chace and data, choose "install from zip" and select Latest Relaese file. After that select "reboot"...
Now, if i turn on, i see LG logo one second and dissapear, but not booting. I can not reach to phone with adb, i can not boot into recovery.
Computer recognize phone as "qhsusb_bulk" and i can see a lot of partition under disk manager".
I read about similar problems and find out, that "srk tool" can unbrick my phone, i am downloading already. But i don't know, what am i supposed to do? Can anyone help me please?

Had the exact same issue, I believe it's caused by corrupting the internal memory (multiple causes for this).
Don't freak just follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/tools-srk-tool-useful-toos-lg-root-twrp-t3079076 (there's a video guide at the bottom, but it's pretty straight forward).
