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?

Just install lg drivers - if it doesn't work then download adb drivers..
+please see the device manager for new devices and "not installed drivers"
+ look 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
Hello,
I´ve never flashed my lg g2, it was only rooted. With the stock rom I want to remove the root. ( Also it was stock recovery)
I flashed the lg g2 after a german instruction but at the flash there was a error. I don´t now why. After a second try I decided to reboot my lg g2. After reboot I only see the LG-screen and then the screen went black ( but the phone was on). If I plug my lg to the computer I only see this: http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3667/7qiyweaj_jpg.htm ( In english: You must format the media in drive XX before you can start it)
I cant go into the download mode or the recovery mode...
After this I used this (xda) instruction it works a little bit better. Now I can go to the Hard Reset. But if I start the reset nothing happens. If I start my LG now, I only see the LG screen. The screen doesnt turn black. The whole time I see the LG screen. If I plug my LG now on the computer there isn´t anything... Only the phone is going on, but on my computer isn´t anything. I´ve also tried the method with unbuntu again, but at the beginning I only see in the terminal something like
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /.
If I write
gdisk -l /dev/sdb
in the terminal there is an error. At my first try it worked well.
Any ideas?
Sry for my baaad english
( Text in German)
Thanks for reading!
did it solve the problem of G2? I'm just like you.

lograste resolver el problema? yo estoy igual
plz help me anyone out there urgently, :crying: I was just flashing stock firmwire on my G2 D802 32GB varient using the .kdz method suddenly the USB cable got disconnected and the Download partition was gone then i only had fastboot, no download or recovery mode.
then i tried to get back the download mode by flashing laf.img but some error occured and now even fastboot is gone
so basically my phone is stuck in LG Logo and NO FASTBOOT, NO RECOVERY or NO DOWNLOAD and windows pc can't even recognize it when connected by a USB cable
plzzzzz help me get out of this pathetic situation im dying here all day without any help pllllzzzzzz any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You!!!
Only service and changing motherboard can help
Oh SH... sorry but your phone is dead...
sorry but what is laf.img? Don't panic yet maybe not all is lost... sometimes **** can get scary but modern hardware isn't bricked easily
EDIT 1.1: did you try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681089
I should mention I have no idea what fastboot is.
Just found out laf.img is something to do with partitions... very dangerous if you flash wrong partition layout, did you flash correct variant?
EDIT 2: more options, including holding ALL buttons at once: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476972

d950
Im having issues with doing the OTA update for my Flex d950, says my phone is not registered. I am going to be upgrading from a rooted 4.2.2 to the 20b 4.4.2
If I do the CSE flash will I lose root? Has this also been confirmed to work on windows 8.1 ? i've been reading of people having issues. Or should I just do the normal flash instead of cse?
AJUDA

LG Flash Tool 2014 this application does not works offline! It need internet connection otherwise works incorrect! Look below attached picture.
Stuck In Download Mode.
Phone: LG Optimus G Pro E988, Android 4.4.2
Updated the phone about 2 months ago with the tool, today I tried to flash the same KDZ file but forgot to copy it to the LG Flash Tool folder, now my phone is stuck in download mode(I tried a number of key combinations to boot it into recovery), I thought it was the LG Support Tool problem, tried to install it, but a window pops up saying I have to connect to the internet and try again, but I was already connected, Downloaded the latest version 1.0.7.1 of the tools, now installation stuck at just about 5 %(attached a snap shot), please help my phone is stuck in download mod.

Yeah... This tool works incorrect. It brick my brand new LG G2 D802 32GB when I upgrade from V20B to V20G. The phone still is brick. I think unable to unbrick without send to LG repair service. I don't recommend use this application! I recommend use completely offline older method:
install on PC LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN311AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.11.3, install on PC LGMobile Support Tool (B2CAppSetup), control panel>show hidden files,folders, from folder UpTestEX_BY_BRIDE_2014>Apps copy the LGMLauncher and past it into folder LGMOBILEAX (Local Disk C:>Program Data>LGMOBILEAX), from folder UpTestEX_BY_BRIDE_2014>Apps copy the LGUserCSTool.exe and past it into folder B2C_Client (Local Disk C:>Program Data>LGMOBILEAX>B2C_Client), if possible in the phone run the USB Debug, if possible in the phone choose method of connection into LG Software, connect phone into PC and wait a moment for install drivers, run as administrator application UpTestEX_BY_BRIDE_2014, select KDZ file, select type: CDMA, PhoneMode: DIAG, CSE web upgrade test, Upgrade Start, Diffrent Country, Language
This method is a 100% offline-not need internet connection.
Good luck!
LG G2 stuck in Boot Loop after flashing firmware
Hi Guys i have a LG G2 which had been rooted and was running CM11 CyanogenMod Android KitKat 4.4.2.
I wanted to go back to stock, so flashed the phone using the LG flash tool 2014 which worked fine till it rebooted to the LG logo and rebooted again and again till battery went flat.
I can enter download mode by holding vol+ and plugging in the usb but can't do anything please could someone advise.
Thanks
For all of you with D802 model who bricked your device using this tool (like I did) use this one (link under) step by step and everything will be fine. This ia .tot method and you'll be 4.2.2 again.You just have to be able to enter download mode to save your phone with this method. It saved mine. Good luck

Am I supposed to not change language?
I'm stuck on phone screen (download mode) at 13%
Hi,
i used towelroot and used a programm to change my locale setting. I set it to German language and Antarctica location by mistake instead of German and Austria, and that terminated the Android UI over and over again. The phone instantly went into a loop restarting its UI. A reboot did not work, stuck on LG logo. I can enter download mode, but not factory reset.
Used your modded tool. It goes to 99% and then end with "abnormal program termination". It looks like the flashing worked, but the language setting is the same i guess because the phone is still stuck at the LG logo. I am using the normal flash, not CSE flash cause i want to rescue my data.
I leave the default setting cdma and diag. I tried Germany, different country and germany, republic of korea, and even korean, republic of korea in the window before the update starts.
Is there a way to force the Antarctica locale setting to go away without deleting all my data?
Got LG G2 32 gig, unlocked
I am on Sling 2.2.2 on F180L.
I want to go to stock..
Should I have to relock boot loader 1st or KDZ flash will automatically lock BL?
Stock KDZ file is 1.2GB. I assume this Tool won give any error?

LG G2 stuck
I was installing a new kernel using clockwork Rom Manager to reboot the phone in TWRP recovery, didn't know this was bad. So I had my G2 completely stuck on LG logo, no download mode, no recovery, can't even turn it off, then I tried LG mobile support tool, restored after many times a Rom, but when it boot it asks me some kind of PIN/Password, then I did the same using LG Flash tool by goind in download mode, but still the same, what can i possibly do? Thanks in advance
If you have download mode,look at my post #10. There is a link to solve your problem. It definetly solved mine and I only had download mode. Just follow steps 1by1. Don't know which version you have,mine is D802. I think it helps for D800/1/2/3
has anyone used this tool on LG-F370S, South Korea?
