I have a bricked LG G2 that is stuck in a boot loop.
I was running a custom rom and lent the phone to my ex-gf and she tried said yes to OTA update. Then instead of telling me she attempted the fix the phone herself and in doing so used TWRP to wipe backups/all data/everything.
I can get into TWRP. I can use adb sideload.
That is it. No recovery mode, No download mode.
Can't get device detected by qhsusb_bulk
I think I need to fix the stock firmware/image. LG flashtool doesn't work and I think that is because I cannot boot the phone into android and because I can't get into Download mode.
Here is a semi-revelant thread on XDA, I posted there but haven't had a lot of replies, I doubt many people check the G2 forums as its an old phone at this point, yet its still in perfect condition, has a 1080p screen and runs fast.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142&page=375
Please please help. Ill paypal someone $75 if they can help me get it working.
Thanks
Which variant? D802? Which firmware were you using before, kitkat, lollipop, stock or custom ROM? PM me if you want, I have bricked and unbricked mine many times

D803
I was running a custom rom. I *think* it was lollipop.
Basically the phone sat in my desk for two years without use as I had a work from home job and could get by with a free app on my iPad, I lent it to my ex and this happened a few days later
I now need a mobile phone for a new job I am starting and this phone is still beautiful I would really like to use this instead of dishing out multiple hundreds of dollars
Not a problem to help. I've bricked my old G2/my wife's G2 not less than 10 times, and all gonna Ok later. If you has TWRP saved backups - then I can help unbrick it even if it stuck on "LG" logo! Can PM me foor details
As long as EFS is not wiped or you have a backup you can just flash a new ROM with TWRP right? Or flash a backup?
As long as you can access TWRP you can also connect to USB in case you do not have any ROMS stored on the phone and transfer them that way.

I wanted to flash the official Australian KK for D802T so that I could dump the modem and make it available to Cloudy for patching.
I made a flashable zip from the kdz. Flashed in philz without problems. At the end, I got a message saying 'could not lokify...' or something similar. Pressed 'OK' and then got the prompt to root. Foolishly, I selected that option and the phone simply died.
My laptop (with drivers and utilities for the G2) no longer recognises the phone when connected by USB. Cannot power on. No light. Nothing.
The G2 seems to be completely hard bricked but I'd like to understand how such an action could completely kill the phone. Any ideas of how this could happen?
Cheers!
PhilZ Killed My G2
Shameless bump.
The device is now with an authorised repairer, so I should (I hope) have a replacement soon but as this is a unique problem, I would have thought that there would be at least a couple of replies by now...
There are several threads by frantic XDA members about their 'bricked' phones when, in fact, they're not really bricked at all. Five minutes of Googling will result in a number of simple methods of recovery . To paraphrase that great Australian character, Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee: that's not a brick. THIS is a brick! :silly: *
Anyway, if you're thinking of making a flashable zip from a stock KDZ to be flashed with philz recovery, be very careful at the end when you're prompted to root. One slip and it's gone.

Cheers for the tip. You're not wrong about those 'brick' threads. If your drivers work your phone isn't bricked. Hopefully your repairer can tell you what happened so you can tell us!
Mate,
I rooted my G2 this afternoon and installed the autorac app. When I restarted my phone, it stuck at the beginning loop...
I can access to TWRP though, but download mode.
How much did you pay to get your phone restored? Can I bring it back and fix by LG??
Cheers
Autorec soft bricks Aussie phones. You've got a recovery though so you can just sideload a ROM through adb.

Cheers mate! I thought this D802T and D802 were same, maybe NOT?!
Where can I find this ROM for 802T? Will it destroy my documents like pix, chat record, etc?
Many many thanks!

Use LG Flash Tool to bring your phone back to stock. You will lose root and all SD card data if you chose this method.
Hello everyone I need some help with my G2 its the rogers D803, First off I'm kinda a noob when it comes to flashing roms, this is my third G2 I've owned, i bought it off kijiji and its been nothing but trouble, my LTE wouldn't work and I couldn't update it to 4.4, The ota wouldn't work cause the device was not resisted. I tried to update with the LG support tool, when i would connect the device it would say update found then all of a sudden it would say your device is up to date. So i decided I would root it and flash a custom rom. I used TWRP a flashed Mahdi Rom and it worked great. Now here is where I messed up, I decided to try another rom, went into recovery and did my wipe but i accidentally wiped the system along with all the roms and zips I had on the internal storage. now its stuck i n a boot loop, I'm still able to get into twrp and also can get into download mode. my problem is I'm unable to mount the device to get my roms or even my backup folder back onto the device. when i plug the phone in i cant get the drivers to install , ive tried using ADB but my device doesn't show up on there. it does show up on the lg support tool when i put it into download mode. If anyone can help me out it would be much much appreciated. sorry for the wall of text but I'm trying to give as much details as possible.

It was getting stuck on the Lg logo but i was still able to boot into twrp. but good news I just figured it out. I downloaded Koush universal adb driver and was able to sideload a new rom.
So it all started today when I tried to flash Cloudy G3, it didn't work, it soft bricked I restored backup, all good. After this, my phone started acting weird by powering up again after I powered it off, not opening Quick Remote and saying SIM is not ready. So I decided to give Clopudy G3 a try once more but I needed TWRP, I installed the TWRP i needed but I got error status 7 so I used flashify which was recommended to me. Well I flashed TWRP using flashify and, now when I try to get into recovery mode it enters fastboot mode and stays there. I figure the solution to this is going back to stock, and I found that the best method is from a dude called Hyleton in XDA But that falishify thing left me without a download mode! No recovery, no download... is there even a fix for this?. Now my phone is the international version (D802) but this guy has trillions of firmaware for lots of different D802s and I don't know which one to download and use! I downloaded the one in the folder that says "D802 tot" and selected the 32GB one. Can somebode PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME, my knowledge on rooting is pretty basic, and a lot of the things in that thread, like for example the word "TOT" I don't understand! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476&highlight=d802
Now can somebody please explain this guide to me? I am wanting to do the second method (the TOT method). I would really appreciate this, REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
well
I wont be much help, but maybe i can simplify for people who come accross this thread. Ive read it a few times and im quite confused.
You said you flashed cloudyG3, had problems, then went back to stock.
What recovery did you use to backup, restore, and flash cloudy g3?
No i want to flash stock, after trying to flash Cloudy G3 I used flashify to flash TWRP and it went nuts and and now my phone is working strangely. I'm currently trying to go back to stock in the hope that it'll fix my problems and I'm using Hyleton's guide, as I have no download mode I'm gonna use a .kdz file but in his guide there's lots of KDZ files and I don't know which one to use! Any idea on that? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 here's the thread and if you look at the stock firmware files you'll see there's tonnes of .kdz for the D802, could you help me find the correct one for my phone? My phone is simply D802, no other letters like the ones in that list have (which confuses me as to which file I have to use to flash stock) and I bought in the US, but I live in Argentina....
Hey guys, it's 4am where I live and I'm becoming desperate now... Hope someone find a solution for my problem and is willing to help me.
I was using the latest CM12 nightly on my new d805 and decided to try the new CloudyG2 3.1. I was told the easiest way to do this is flashing a Lollipop bootstack (which I found here https://github.com/lg-devs/bootstack...master/d802/lp) followed by the Cloudy ROM itself.
I did it through TWRP, and then things started to cramble. On reboot the LG logo briefly appeared followed by a black screen. I've found this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2432476, downloaded the appropriated .kdz but my device isn't recognized by my PC. I've tried reinstalling the drivers and using the universal ones, but my computer just doesn't care about the phone being connected or not.
I tried to start sideload on TWRP so I could push a CM12 .zip back to the phone, but the sideload doesn't start, so I essentially can't send any file to the phone. Is there any hope for me? I'd be so happy if someone gave me a solution for this... I really can't afford to buy another phone right now and this is my only method of contact with some relatives.
Huge thanks in advance, this community rocks.

If you can go in recovery mode you could use the usb-otg to flash a rom and reboot the phone

So I need a specific cable to do this? Is this the only way?
You need a normal usb-otg that can find in every electronics shop
Let me start by saying im a noob well today i decided to root my Tmobile LG G2 running Lollipop 5.0.2 I searched many threads as im not advanced and i found kingroot. Used it version 4.80 and successfully rooted my phone. Then i tried superSU or what ever its called.. Did not work with king root.. So i did some research and came across Super Sume! I paid 3.99 i rebooted my phone and tried it out and it stuck on processing, did not do anything. So i forceclosed i rebooted again uninstalled it and ran it again. And again nothing. Waited half hour nothing. The loading bar would not move.. So i uninstalled the paid one and downloaded an earlier version of super sume. I think its 6.7 instead. I tried it and it installed super su on my device but would again not work. It also deleted king root files from the phone.. Since super su did not work i rebooted. Stuck on tmobile screen... Held the power button turned off the phone. Booted in recovery mode. Did a factory reset and am now stuck in the set up screen. Asks for the language i choose english then has me connect to wifi but when i go to type in the password no keyboard appears ive tried everything i turned in lanscape n tried it and keyboard will not launch so i cant type so I'm stuck. Even if i went to a no password wifi i would still be stuck in the type your name screen. Cause again NO KEYBOARD. What can i do ?? i will donate atleast 5$ if i can get help.

I am downloading a kdz from here at anothwr thread for my tmobile d80130c what flashtool settings do i need to use cdma or gsm and what do i need to input in the other fields on the flash tool. And what folder do i put the kdz file in for flashtool to have access to it.
I already have d80130c on my phone so should i be using that or do i have to use d80130h like u suggested? And should i do a normal flash or a cse flash? Sorry for all the noobie questions

Hey i cant sell it because it has the screen jitters it turns out Nd theres a million threads about it with no fix. Do u know of any fix for that so i can sell this phone i will donate when i sell it. Used to be my moms phone shes like "sell it nobody has to know it has issues it only does it at random" im like "mom, i cant just **** somebody over like that this shyts annoying" i know ppl will buy it if i dont tell em but i dont have it in my heart to do so ive had ppl texting me to buy it until i told em about the issue. I wanted 120 for it now ill take 60 lol.
i have a solution
Here i have a perfect sol.
1)One word--"nandroid backup".yes download a nandroid backup of anyone with same phone as u are having.
2)put it in external sd in a folder naming "clockwardmod"
3)flash cwm or twrp. I have not used twrp,so i prefer cwm as i know more about it.
4)click "backup/restore"
5)now choose restore.
6)now wait and watch.
7)enjoy
8)xda is a helping website so no need of donation
Yeah i finally learned all that and more. I was just comong into the phone game. But its an old post i still have 2 lg g3 and a lg g2. Yeah i know but i like to stick to my words and if i would of sold it i woulda paid em i feel its the right thing to do. Now im mostly into hacking and cracking and thats why im barely here but this site has been great i never bricked once because of this site i had close calls but was able to unbrick. My favorite method of rooting the g3 is the one click script method it works flawlessly.. Im using prime gsm on one phone and stock lollipop on the other. My g2 has the screen jitters. Cant type the letter h in the keyboard cant draw straight lines, scrolls like crazy and cant detect touch on the dead center of the screen so i cant sell it. I use twrp n supersu. Twrp is more user friendly and supports otg so i just flash from my usb drives and keep my phone memory open i have the 32gb versions and i always have more than enough memory on em.. Thanx for the feed back tho i appreciate it bud
