LG G6 - No OS, no custom recovery - LG G6 Questions and Answers

We've got an LG G6 phone here without an OS.
Every time we try to reboot it goes into a bootloop, and trying to factory reset through recovery does nothing except take about a second before going back into bootlooping.
ADB / Fastboot commands don't work either
Is there any way to flash stock recovery through any 3rd part LG Tools or similiar software?
LG Up doens't recognize model (H870 - International LG G6)
Thanks

Have you tried getting to the bootloader by holding vol up while plugging into PC?
Maybe UPPERCUT could get the phone to be recognized

Fixed
Hey, thanks for the tip!
We solved the problem using that method and just flashing a backup of the img files from there using Fastboot, just about an hour ago
But thanks! I'll remember this for the next time he bricks his phone

[Q] Flash stock with security error

Ok, so I flashed cleanrom ex, and on reboot I got a security error.
I tried to get to recovery, but it wipes data and immediately reboots.
I've tried flashing the stock rom, but lg flash tool tells me it's the wrong device (now thinks it's a D802).
I've been trying to get into TWRP on scrosler and samsunggalaxystig's advice, first by repeatedly trying an adb reboot recovery, then by writing a batch script to do it repeatedly in order to catch it before it reboots.
Problem is, I don't know if I had already had ADB drivers installed on this computer for the G2 (had rooted while at work), and despite installing them more than once, I don't think the device actually has enough time to be recognized as I still have an unrecognized "g2" in device manager while TWRP is wiping.
Any ideas? Is there any way I can force the install of the ADB driver without having it connected for more than 20 seconds? Spitballing... would it be possible to actually flash a D802 image so I could then root, change the build.prop to D800, and then flash the D800 image?
Totally at a loss at this point.
did you solve your problem? i have a similar problem and i just bricked an s3. this g2 is brand new and now it's bricked too! if you have found a solution please respond... :crying:

Why did flashing a rom leads you to that error? Sorry but not familiar with your roms but is this rom really for your LG G2 model?

twrp corrupted my cache partition and the phone could not boot. i tried to flash cwm while in twrp and i guess i messed up recovery and/or boot partitions. al i could get was fastboot. i flashed a boot.img i got from somewhere in here. now it says security error and it does not boot. it does not enter into fasboot. i can enter into recovery mode but it is the stock lg recovery and if i choose "delete all data", which is the only option, it gives an error and restarts.
if i try to flash stock firmware as described in this post it stops at 49%.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can someone help me I successful in installing twrp though autorec apk and the same for rooting my g2. I flashed cm with nightlies and noticed that twrp had a update. I downloaded the zip and try flashing it like flash a recovery in flashify but that din't work and readed that zip flashing though twrp didn't work but renumber this video and though it would update my recovery to 2.7.1 but it was successful in doing so but when I got to recovery it was 2.7.0. That not the problem form there I tried to boot into my system. Then it turn off though that I passed power off instead but when turn my g2 back on I found that I had a security error show up then turn back off. So can someone help show me a tutorial on unbick or a way to remove error. Also I have the d800 and i have some idea without going though unbicking a hard factory rest or flasing twrp form there site in fastboot. Finally that lg mobile support tool say that im up to date. I think doing the autorec twrp recovery locked as my phones recovery like trying to flash a rom with a locked bootloader.
Ok guys i trying to help cause it happen to me too,sorry for my english too slow but i try,when you try go twrp with volume up+power buttom it still show security errow,that ok your device not hardbrick yet,when you try volume down+power buttom it show hard reset it does mean it clear all rom,picture in internal but it go to twrp again,and them just flash another rom in your device and it done,have great day piece
I had the same problem on my G2 was using twrp to flash cyanogenmod not sure what i did and phone rebooted to show security error message. I entered recovery mode (power and volume down release when logo pops up and press power and volume down again hold for a second then tap both buttons a few times) pulled up the option to factory reset so i did and it booted me into twrp and allowed me to flash cyanogenmod correctly this time and the phone started back up with no problems. hope this can help someone else as well.
Anybody know the solution?
I also have the security error boot loop after flashing KK baseband files... I tried to enter recovery mode by holding vol down & power button but it wont work...
it does work when i enter download mode (vol up + power button), but i don't want to have to download the stock LG ROM..
anybody know how to by pass the security error boot loop to allow me to reflash?

if you still bricked. try this
get your tools from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
keep reading or follow above thread. both will work.
best of luck.
After all the drivers installed correctly
make sure your phone is connected to the
com41 port change it if it already not ( Under device manager > Go to Ports (COM & LPT). You should see LGE AndroidNet etc... Right click it and go to Properties > Port Settings > Advanced > Change COM Port Number to COM41 > OK > OK > Close Device Manager )
run flash tool
1. choose type CDMA
2. chose PhoneMode: DIAG
leave rest as it is.
3. choose your kdz file.
then go to download mode
1. power off
2. press and hold vol + key and plug usb cable
3. done )
We have go 2 flashing modes.
1. Normal Flash is for flash with keeping data
2. CSE flash is totally new start preffered.
hope this helps.
thanks but it was a long time ago and I further messed up things, ended up sending it for warranty. they have replaced the device.
me too messed up my cell 1st i was on cloudy g2 v2.1 installed cm11 nightlies but the camera was not so good so then installed cloudy g2 v2.1 n since then i was having problem regarding sound during call and also some hard noise like siren starts randomly, i searched alot but didnt got any solution. wiped all many times (including internal storage ). but no luck then i thought i might be baseband error so i just downloaded auto recovery n flashed it n then stuck into security error but thank GOD i had custom rom in my sd card that time i flashed it back but still em having the sound error.

Hey guys, I was in the same boat for a little but was able to fix it by downloading the 801C firmware and flashing it. The firmware file should be a KDZ extension and you should also download LG Flash Tool 2014. Turn the phone on by holding the Power button and Volum up while it is plugged into your computer(It has to be plugged into a computer with LG phone drivers or it won't work).
Follow this tutorial and you will be set.

Start at step 17 on Method 1 and you should be golden.
Hope this helps guys!

Bootloop problem, no recovery, no download mode (Non rooted and No custom recovery)

Hi, I just bought an LG G2 D802 20B Model a couple days ago, yesterday I wanted to downgrade to 4.2.2 and I ended up bricking the phone.
The phone is non rooted, doesn't have any custom recovery, and not recognized by adb even though i installed all the drivers ( koush drivers, PdaNet, Lg drivers ...)
At first I flashed with .kdz file and it ended in bootloop, I tried to factory reset but it doesnt have any effects with the stock recovery it only shows the green android bot and blue progress bar and then restart in 3 seconds and reboots to lg logo and start looping.. After a restart the download mode didn't work anymore it showed me fastboot error, I searched for the tutorial that actually worked and I flashed with .tot method but there is still bootloop and the download mode is stuck at the image attached. The phone is not recognized by neither windows or ubuntu therefore I can't use adb to fix the partitions.
Can any body provide me with a solution? The phone is still new and it will be a shame if its transformed to a brick in 3 days :crying:​
Hey..hmm i think thats how download mode it is...so did you tried to flash again a firmware?

Thanks for your reply, however the phone is not recognized on windows neither on ubuntu therefore this tutorial can't help ...
I am in the exact same situation.
Mine is a D802 32GB Hong Kong model. I stupidly ran AutoRec which soft-bricked my phone. Managed to get Download Mode working, then flashed 20C and 20B which bootlooped. Then I attempted to flash 10B, which got me into this exact state:
Download Mode not working (only shows "Download Mode", does not go to firmware recovery screen, not detected in Win/Linux)
Factory reset (Power + Vol Down) can go to factory reset screen, after factory reset, still bootloop.
Once in a while, I also get the Android icon which then disappears after a few seconds and goes to LG logo again.
If I plug the phone in and do a factory reset, Windows detects the LGE AndroidNet modem, and Linux will detect cdc_acm USB Abstract Control Model driver. Flash Tool and LG Mobile Support seems to detect the phone and attempt to flash, but the phone restarts after a short while.
I have no idea what else to do

VS980 (No Fasboot, No Recovery, Download mode OK, Greyish-black screen)

Hey guys, I have a VS980 that was wrongly flashed with the wrong variant of CloudyG2 3.3, causing it to boot to Fastboot mode only. I used guides available on these forums that said I needed to flash the laf.img partition back to the phone to get it out of Fastboot mode but it now went back to Fastboot mode with a greyish-black screen, it did not even show the LG logo. I know it went to Fastboot mode because running the the "fastboot devices" command returned the phone identity. I then used SRKtook 2.1 to fix the Recovery, and this led to the phone going into QHSUSB 9006 mode. I then used the same SRKtool 2.1 to fix the QHSUSB 9006 issue. The tool successfully completed the process and even prompted me to flash the stock firmware, which I did using LGFlashTool 1.8, and one of the available TOT files (V26A). The flashing process completed successfully with a PASS. The phone powered on okay but with the same greyish-black screen as from before. I know the flashing process completed successfully because the the phone charges okay, the touchscreen works (even with the greyish-black screen I can unlock the screen, I can press the Home, Recents, and Back virtual buttons), and calls made to the SIM card inside the phone will ring). The PC recognizes the phone in MTP mode with Device Manager reporting it as being an LGE MTP Android Device, sometimes as a LG VS980 4G. My issues are these:
- What is it with the greyish-black screen? Anything I can do to rectify it? By the way it is not an LCD issue because I have repeatedly swapped screens from my other LS980 to the VS980 and from the VS980 to the LS980. On the LS980 both LCDs work perfectly.
- I can't get into Recovery mode. All the normal Volume Down+Power combo does is power on the phone. What can I do?
- I can't get into Fastboot mode. What can I do?
I am in the process of downloading every VS980 stock firmware I can find (10B, 11A, 26A, 39A, 24A, 27A). I will flash each to the phone, hopefully there'll be one that will fix my phone.

Bricked LG G6 H870

Hello all,
After having trouble to boot to TWRP through recovery (and when the phone was still functional), I messed around and flashed TWRP through Flashify and now I can't even go to the OS. When i try to get to recovery I get sort of a bootloop in TWRP and I also get this if I simply reboot the phone. At this point I already lost all hope since I think the phone is bricked for good.
If someone have any idea how to get through this I would be very pleased.
Thanks.

Have you tried to flash through lgup?
I had the same problem last week and i said the same (bricked phone)
this solution worked for me after 100 attempt
before the LG logo appear try to enter to recovery (volume down + power button / release power when the logo appear and click again )
try this, from the unlocking guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g6/how-to/official-lg-g6-bootloader-unlock-t3614719
Alternatively, you may be able to boot into fastboot without ADB by powering off the phone then power the phone on while holding Volume UP (USB cable will need to be removed otherwise it may boot into LG Download Mode)

if it boots into fastboot you should be able to flash twrp.img from adb
then i would go to recovery and start fresh by wiping everything :victory:
Hi guys,
Thanks for the support! It turned out to be a corrupt SD card I had in the phone that was causing TWRP to get screwed.
Thankfully everything is working fine .
Neverheless, thank you all for your support.
Thread can be closed, issue solved.
happy for you bro

I'm sorry for your loss. To me it sounds like something may be physically damaged.
To elaborate a bit further, fastboot doesn't usefully exist without root, stock recovery can only wipe your userdata, and you've already said download mode reboots way too early to try anything. There is no safe way to try anything with the firmware, if it even somehow is a firmware issue. There's the leaked firehose, if you force it into 9008 mode, but that's risky and I have no personal experience with it to give more details.
Basically don't expect it to be coming back.

Without it already being rooted and the dirtysanta bootloader installed there is no fastboot mode on anything (which you would have seen if you had read the OP) but the h918 (which still can't flash with it) and us996, and you still need a working phone to actually set the options in Android to allow unlocking the bootloader.
And I'd put it at like an 80% chance it's hardware failure anyway, since it's boot looping in download mode too.
Try holding down volume down and plugging in USB.......
Same issue herewith...
LG V20 boot loop , restarting again and again , also when USB cable method is applied to enter into the Download Mode , it also restarts after sometime after showing download mode icon etc........
