Hello guys,
first thank you for this website and forum, i hope that you can help me with my phone. I have got my lg g2 into fastboot mode when i tried to flash a new rom, so I searched in the net and found the solution in here, the one that needs linux to copy the needed partitions to the phone I mean (laf.img, aboot.img .......), I have done everything right, however after doing it, my phone gone completely dead, no fastboot no logo, no recovery mode, no download mode, It's only a piece of hardware without a soul, when i connect it to a pc (win, linux) doesn't recognize it like before, so I cannot even try that solution again, after a while when i tried to open my device back cover i found that the version Written in the back was wrong it is not D802, but LS980, so all the partition files that i have used are the wrong onces, that what caused my phone to go black,
so please can you help, and if I change the mother board of the phone will i get a new functioning os or not?
thnks

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?

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
Hi All you very clever people.
This is my first post, have been watching from the shadows for a long time on xda, but have finally met my match and have to ask for help!
I had the (I believe) HK version of lollipop 5.0.1 KDZ that was 'leaked' a while back (possibly the first LP one out?), liked it for the most part but wanted to go back to KK. Tried to flash via KDZ again the KK KDZ. Unknowingly I tried using a USB3.0 socket and it didn't work. I then unplugged the cable from the computer and plugged it into a USB2.0, still didn't work a few times.
Foolishly I thought, 'I know, I'll reset the phone and try again!'. This then stopped me form getting into download mode!!!
I can still get to recovery fine but resetting just gets me back to a black screen. I am getting the 9006 error of bulk usb mode or something. I have tried SRKtools and still cant get to download mode? Is my best bet finding the corresponding .img files for that rom and flashing them in ubuntu?
On that note, does anyone have a link for that KDZ image by any chance. Can't find mine on my computer anymore (again foolishly probably thought, 'won't need that any more, phone is working!').
Also wondering if this has erased the rom on there of if it is just related to boot? It won't boot into the rom at all just black screen after LG logo?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! :good: :good:
Cheers

KitKats are 20x, I think. But you should know that as you already tried to flash one.
Sorry I'm new so I can't post plain links.
Give us some info about your phone please
While trying to install custom recovery through autorec my LG G2 sold as D802 and infact an LS980 got bricked and showing white pixelated lines and black screen.
- No recovery mode
-No download mode shown on screen
- No fastboot mode shown on screen
-Phone shows up as unspecified android device on windows 10 and connected through Marshall London Bootloader Interface
-Phone switches off and on while pressing power key, rest not known
-Flashtool doesn't recognize any device.
-command prompt in fastboot tool can erase data on the phone, but can't flash any img files
I've searched and read various forms and articles through internet. no one has found any proper solution though some people claims that hex code editing or flashing a partition and a tot file through fastboot mode may solve the issue and tried a few of them. No positive sign till now, I'm r trying out the fastboot method right now, But I'm not sure whether my phone is switching into fastboot mode or not
Can some one please guide me to get the partition file (laf.img) for LS980. ??????????
And if someone can share some serious input on this problem, it'll be really useful for a lot of users includng me.
Or even suggest some methods for trying out.
whenever i got stuck with this sort of errors i used to find my way out using reading tutorials and forums on xda. But this time i cant find a way out.

I have the same issue... Please give updates on your progress
I have Got The Same Issue.....no COM port so as to flash tot, i cant also flash using flash tools. Somebody Help
Same here, you guys burn your G2?
Looks like I'm a bit late for the party. Well i ended up my lg g2 ls980 (sold as d802) in the same condition. I fixed it by booting into qhsusb_bulk mode by shorting the capacitors and using srktool. Now my phone can boot into download mode!
(Note: this method only works if your phone shows up as qhsusb_bulk and not qdloader or something like that)
Hello.
First, sorry for my bad english..
I got the F800L model and I rooted the device following the guide of Dirty Santa.
One day I read in forum that someone was able to flash H918 rom to the F800L device.
So I tried to do same.. but with the mistake of not backing up my original rom.
When I tried to flash the H918 rom through TWRP, it installed well, but when it booted, it just remained hanged in LG logo.
I just left it over a day waiting if it pass the LG logo. But it didn't.
Then I searched for the fix and read the guide about restoring the bricked device through LGUP and kdz file.
So I entered in download mode and connected to PC.
Executed LGUP software and my device appeared in H91810i model instead of F800L. I downloaded the F800L kdz file and tried to restore with LGUP but it appeared error saying kdz invalid.
So I managed to download the H918 10i kdz file and tried again to restore.. and WOW! it completed the process.
But.. Now my device is in worse condition. It doesn't even turn on.
Tried to enter again in download mode but nothing happens.. neither enters in fastboot mode...
Pulled out the battery and reinserted, and tried to turn on but nothing happens..
Can anybody help me please???
I think you destroyed your phone
You should get it to repair service
lol, u just facing the same problem with me, i did exactly the same what u do, was looking around for solution, but nothing really helpful out there, the only way i found is the method with sd card, u get the debrick img file, burn it to a 32gb sd card with the right tool, put sd card to your phone and hope it will get to downloadmode or fastboot or whatever idknow cause i'm don't have the debrick.img file for F800L, looking for it right now, people say u can get that file from the phone (has same model) that still working, that all i know for now, if u found anyway to fix your phone please told me :highfive:
It has been repeated over and over and over "DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING THAT IS NOT MEANT FOR YOUR DEVICE" and also "FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK". Both of them together makes it pretty clear that you shouldn't have flashed something that was meant only for the h918 into an f800l variant. Developers dont write this down as fancy words or for fun. They do it in order to let everybody know that if flashed, it could easily alter your system in such a way that it might never be fixed except by the company itself. By flashing something that wasnt meant for your device, you are trying to override the system with an image. And if the developer never made the source compatible with yours, then software and hardware will be contradicting each other. The motherboards of the phones comes for its specific variants and only developers can alter an image of a system to make it somewhat compatible with the variant.
Now, lets hope you get an answer to how to fix it because LG wont be fixing it for you since you voided your warranty by a) the simple fact of unlocking the bootloader (which is pretty easy to identify since it shows the warning sign when you turn the phone on), and b) you rooted the device. And LG wont work with neither of those. Unless.... and this is a maybe because i dont know if they would agree too (if you pay the sum they request to fix it, which i assure you it will be more that $100+ maybe even significantly more). Then they fix it for you.
I personally made a backup in a separated MIcro SD card i have outside the phone. So that if i have problems with my system, then i just insert that micro sd card and restore the backup.
Good luck!
If the phones screen is blank when you try to turn it on you bricked. Only fix is a replacement. There is NO debrick.img
oh my god, if u stop at the step KDZ tool found your device that H918, I can help you. Just boot to fastboot mode and fastboot the file name bootbackup.img and KDZ tool will found your device is F800L then KDZ normally. Sorry for my bad English.

Hello guys,
So I bricked my D802 , how? first it was bricked because of a wrong version of TWRP, untill here no problem, i tried many tutorials on how to go back to stock rom, then i found that it was a Qualcom thing problem, so I found that tutorial about replacing the .img files etc... , pretty easy, i could enter the recovery menu, but it had no rom, i downloaded the stock rom kdz file , started flashing it, then, for some dumb reason the flashing stopped, I ... plug out the usb cable... I didn't notice untill I saw that the program froze, and now the phone is stuck at the LG logo, impossible to do anything, pc doesn't recognize it, can't go to recovery menu, can someone help me please? or at least tell me if I should just throw that phone or keep it if it has a chance of living a bit longer

I had a very similar problem with it getting stuck at the logo after pushing supersu to the phone. I followed Supersport every single step of the way in his video. I think his links are the only valid ones online now, so just download them and reflash your phone. If your G2 is anything like mine, drivers will never appear to be installed correctly and it never restarts, only shuts down.
His method is:
1) Download and install LG drivers on PC
2) Download and install the flash tool and patch it
3) Download and load the .tot and .dll files into the flash tool
4) Enter download mode on G2 by holding volume up while connecting USB
5) Switch G2 Com port to 41 in device manager
6) Once Flash tool shows that all ports are ready, power down G2 and disconnect
7) Hold volume up and reconnect to get back into download mode
8) LG Flash tool starts flashing
9) Complete
Note: If your G2 was screwed up as bad as mine, it'll say failed but all the main system files will load to the device before it restarts and it'll even shut itself off while doing it's installation on first reboot. Mine somehow was still revived from this state with his method.
