Hello. Please help me. I have a Japanese version of G2 (L-01F - DoCoMo) and i tried to flash an european version of kitkat because i couldn't update in OTA. Now the phone is bricked, it is bootlooping, the Download Mode doesn't work, it shows a few of blue dots and it stays there (the phone can't be recognized on PC using the USB cable). I can enter the Recovery Mode (the grey screen with LG logo) where the phone can be read by PC and using ADB tool is shown as "recovery". I can't use fastboot.exe because the device is not being recognized. What can i do? Thank you very much.

Actually i'm trying to repair it since October 2014. No-one knows the solution. I went to 3 different GSM Services and they don't know what to do...
So...when i'm trying to put it in download mode it stays like this and the PC doesn't recognize it.
The only way to connect the phone to the computer is to put it in recovery mode (Backup & Restore) by holding Volume Up and Power Button at the same time with the phone turned off. It should appear something like this. The PC recognizes the phone but only in ADB. Look.
The third possible screen, which also is useless is this by typing in the CMD the following: "adb reboot recovery" (click). Here, the PC doesn't recognize the phone too.
Fastboot doesn't work.
And that's my problem. I don't know what to do.

If there are any custom roms that will run on your phone, adb push it to the sdcard and flash in TWRP.

Your screenshot above shows the device being recognized via adb in recovery. What permission problems?
Not working anymore.
Sorry.
Do you mean that you had your old tablet already killed, and then you recovered it following these steps?
You can see it here, in my Twitter
https://twitter.com/victorcangil16/status/642389331768942592
Can anyone confirm this on a separate dead tablet? if so its a pretty damn good find.
Hi Victorcangil 16,
Could you exactly discribe how did you make this miracle (which drivers...) ?
Thanks

Ok,
Thx for your reply Victorcangil 16.
But how did your device was recognized by windows before done this process ? APX or something else
It was reconized as normal device by Windows, like if I plug my phone to the PC. And the drivers I had to configure them manually, if not, It gives me error when doing FastBoot

It stay on :"<waiting for device>"
And my tablet is not reconized as normal device but as "APX"
What does APX mean?
Change the ADB drivers interface using the next process:
Search in Windows: Device Manager
If the ADB interface has a Yellow alert, Right Click, Update Drivers, Select from Computer, Use Disk, Use all, and then select the file in the NVIDIA Drivers folder (in my case, Downloads). Accept,

But i think i got the problem : my tablet wasn't rooted and the bootloader was locked...
I think you saved your shield because it was rooted...
I thinks is that. If is has not unlocked bootloader, you can't change nothing. But to unlock it, just type in Fastboot: "fastboot oem unlock" (tablet will Factory Reset)

:/ I think something is going on with Drivers
Hi, one question for such kind of reactivation - root is required ?
Yes, Root and Unlocked Bootloader are required ro recover the "killed" Tablet
Just bought by mistake deactivated Shield...is it possible to make root via fastboot ?
Hi guys, I'm having a weird problem with my zenfone 5 (a501cg). I have searched a lot but still can't find out a proper solution So I post it here and try to provide as much information as possible so hopefully developers at xda can help me.
My phone is rooted and I'm currently using modded rom called "bazzrom pinaslang" in the forum. Recently I want to use another rom so I decide to use adb sideload again.
However, the problem occurs: using adb sideload only show "error" message". BUT Adb devices show the phone.
Then I decide to use adb reboot fastboot to enter fastboot. But the phone only show a usb icon, and using "fastboot devices" doesn't show the device anymore.
I try other way by enter recovery mode "adb reboot recovery". The phone show resting android with "no command" message. I also try hold power and press down volumn after that but nothing happend. I try anything with that "power" + "volumn" combo but nothing happend (or it just shutdowns the phone).
Also, using "power" + "up volumn" to enter Droid boot doesn't work.
Driver is install. In device manager it shows "Android composite adb interface".
The only good news is my phone still boots normally and I can use it. Please help me get back my fastboot so I can upgrade my phone to Lollipop and other modded ROM.
Thank you so much !!!!

In that case, follow the "Last resort" part of this guide http://www.asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=33800
It will reinstall your fastboot when the USB icon appears

Hi dgadelha,
I have seen your link before my post, but I still wonder because the "last resort" in the link is used for "bricked" phone or the one that doesn't start up or stuck in somewhere. My phone can still boot and use quite normal : ( except one thing that my sd card always unmounted in this Pinaslang modded rom.
TG.
UPDATE I decide to try xFSTK but my computer still recognizes the device as "adb..." . if I turn off developer mode it becomes "portable device" in Window Device Manager.
The xFSTK can't recognize any Cloverfieldplus. (it shows "CLOVERFIELDPLUS...: 0")

Hi,
Because the last resort will use a hardware function (xFSTK way) to update your dnx, ifwi and fastboot images. This way you can restore your fastboot.
Thanks.

You must instal the drivers it mentioned.

Hi techgeard,
Looks like it's a driver timeout.
Which OS are you using? I see they used Windows 7 or before on the tests.
Also you should try getting xFSTK developers (on SourceForge) to help about this issue.
Thanks.

Hello! I don't know if there might a be a solution for this problem, we've tried many stuff that's been posted here on the forums but ended up in the same results, so no luck. My friend's Moto G5 Plus "bricked" itself while updating to Oreo some time ago, wasn't rooted or anything, bootloader wasn't unlocked either. We can access the recovery menu with "power + vol+", but any option we try to use ends up with the message "Failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot". Some of the solutions I've tried require the bootloader to be unlocked, but I haven't been able to unlock it since my friend never checked the "Allow OEM unlock" option. He took the phone to the official service but they said they couldn't do anything and wanted to sell him a new phone. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Would be helpful to know what exactly you've done to rescue that device.
For example, did you try to wipe the complete device and fastboot flash the latest signed Oreo firmware?
Is the device recognised by a PC?
What about using Lenovo Motorola Smart Assistant?

Hey! From what he told me, at first he was able to access the recovery menu, when then little Android with the red mark shows up, then he used the Smart Assistant and after that he gets the validation error message that I mentioned. I suppose the Smart Assistant made things worse? The device was initially recognised by the PC, but now it isn't. We tried to flash the stock firmware and unlock the bootloader but we didn't have any luck either. Since the PC didn't recognized it anymore we tried a few things to make it work but ended up giving up.

So you can't get to the screen with the dead android (fastboot mode) or recovery with the key combination (power and vol down/power and vol up)? You should be able to get there and check the connection by typing
fastboot devices
or
adb devices
Is the battery full enough to start?
Do you see the device in Windows devices manager?
PC should recognise it at very worst, as qhsusb_bulk. Your PC must be in test mode, and then when you connect look in device manager, under usb devices, and a hard bricked phone will show as qhsusb_bulk. Anything else, you should be able to communicate with ADB/fastboot, as Wolfcity stated. If it does show as qhsusb_bulk, you will need to use vaches' blankflash to recover the unit.

I tried to attach a couple of screenshots but I get the "bad request" message here. Anyways, when we do a normal boot we get the validation error message and we are sent directly to fastboot menu, but there we cannot choose any options because all of them lead to the error message again.
It's been a couple of weeks now but the last time we tried doing something, the device wasn't showing up in device administrator nor being recognized by adb.
As regards to the battery, we've left it charge up for some hours, so I guess that's not a problem, although we cannot see the percentage.

I'll tell him to check if it shows up as qhsusb_bulk and update here. Could you explain a bit more or link to a thread about vache's blankflash? What is it exactly?

This thread is long, but alot of good info on hard bricked Moto G5 plus devices.
Code:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g5-plus/help/moto-g5-plus-hard-bricked-recognized-t3636457
To get PC in test mode
Code:
Here is how to turn on or off the Test Mode feature in Windows 10.
IMPORTANT: Please remember that turning off the Test Mode feature may force the program/driver which is not digitally signed stop working.
Step 1: Open Command Prompt as administrator. To do so, type CMD in Start menu search to see Command Prompt in the search result. Right-click on Command Prompt entry and then click Run as administrator option. Click Yes button when you see the User Account Control screen.
Step 2: At the Command Prompt window, execute the following commands:
To enable the Test Mode:
Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
To disable the Test Mode:
Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
If the above command didn’t work, this one must work:
Bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions ENABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS
Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
You may exit the Command Prompt now.

It is recognizing the device, " Mot Composite ADB Interface" is correct.How about
Code:
fastboot devices
? It should show the device #. ADB doesn't always show devices.

Yes! Fastboot devices shows the device! So now we have to procede with the flashblank.zip and all that from the other post right? Also sorry for the late reply, I've been pretty busy these past days so I left him with all the work.
Hello,
I erroneously deinstalled Magisk, thereafter device did not start... i got message "Your device is corrupt". Problem is that i do not have access via PC - so what can i do? Recovery and Fastboot work, but without access on PC i have no idea.
I appreciate any help, thanks in advance.

What device are you using to message here?
Also do you have twrp?
I'm sorry without a pc probably not much apart from a wipe.
Now maybe with some tricks you can get it to boot the other slot, back when I had a pixel enough failed boots switched slot.
Another rooted device might be able to work.
Any access to any devices? Old dead laptop's or netbooks you could boot Linux on?

You could try safe mode or even wiping system in recovery. Might work but you'll lose your apps (storage unaffected)
Not sure why uninstalling magisk would mean you can't boot?
You could keep trying to boot and it may switch to the other boot partition unless you flashed to both slots in which case it won't boot if a lack of the magisk app is preventing it.
If you have a pc and it's on Windows 10 then it should work, problem will be one of a few things.
Usb 3 instead of 2.
Port
Driver.
If when you connect it is there a new device in device manager? Might be in hidden, remove it if so then allow it to find it again and add the correct driver.
