Hello,
This morning I tried to root my phone so that I can force everything to be moved to a sd card since the storage of the system is low not enough to install apps and to install A mod that is more updated then the current GingerBread OS.
I managed to soft brick the device the rom clearly said e405 obviously the developer has a few bugs anyway I manage to recover from my soft brick by A software 'KDZ' Only issue I have now is when I press volume up on boot I get A notice icon trying to say something (image of the icon is attached below) and when I use ROM Manager to reboot to recovery it will attempt to go there, Instead of going to recovery it goes to A loading page then this erases all my data/apps except SuperUser/Root.
Tried everything and it still does it?
When I use the LG Emergency Software it just goes to a page saying not responding??
Any help and ideas would be grateful so I can fix this issue and move on also im mostly A samsung user and im fairly new to lg.
See thee error message below
Once i get the idea of what the icon is actually trying to say I should be in the right direction.
Thanks,
Spudster

Perhaps you can go to ROM Manager, uninstall Recovery, then re-install it?
I don't really know. I'm sorta new to this stuff.

I saw that icon after flashing back to stock rom with KDZ and a hard reset worked for me. Pull the battery, make sure you not connected to USB or charger, then press and hold home key and down volume while you press power on. Release power when you see LG logo, hold the down and home for a while until you see android unpacking a box. It takes about a minute to see this, so you gotta wait for it. The phone reboots or shut downs, don't rememberwhich

Ok I will try that and let you know if it works in a few hours I gave the phone to my brother for free since I bought A samsung (used to samsungs and love then
Anyway should also mention that when I try to reboot into recovery with rom manager it reboots goes to the loading box thing then it wipes my data Like i said I tried that method in a few hours and get back to you here.
nope
didn't work ;.(
Man go to the screen u have posted the images above , then use KDZ to flash back Man!
This is "DIAG MODE" so select it in KDZ program
So select KDZ file ( download if u have tried urs so far)
No error .. when u click to start upgrade ur phone will apper in emergency mode. Then the KDZ will flash flawslessly

Still didnt work it flash though but still didnt fix the recovery..
These lg are actually useless a simple firmware flash should do the job.
LG staff are also rude to be honest rang up and because I tried to root and I was doing the right thing going back to stock they denied support and hang up without me giving A reply. Glad ive switched back to samsung s4 and Apple IPhone 5C.
Thanks for attempting to help :.)
Hi everyone
I may have bricked my G2. I use to have a Samsung Galaxy S which I flashed many times so I kinda know when I mess up with instructions. This time though, things look a bit more serious... Anyway, here is what happened:
I flashed the Cloudy G3 rom (1.0) for my G2 D802 32gb. Original rom was stock rooted 4.4.
I followed the instructions :
- Backup rom
- All wipes
- Flash kitkat baseband
- Flash rom zip
- Get through the aroma installer steps
But then, when it asked to reboot, the phone just shut down.
Now it won't turn on. All I have is a quick look at the LG boot logo, and then the screen goes all black (blacklit is still on) again.
All I managed to do so far is maintaining the LG boot logo a bit longer on screen by alternatively pressing volume + or - at random times.
I can't access recovery or download mode anymore.
Plugging the phone will only show the LG boot logo and do all the same.
The phone is no longer recognized by my computer.
When I plug it, I get 13 new windows asking me to format the device and one I can explore.
Inside, there is one folder named "Image", filled with 51,4 Mb of files...
Quite confusing.
I don't know what to do, so any help to get the phone back to work will be appreciated
Thank you in advance.

At least I'm not alone :laugh:
I found this thread but haven't tried yet. Don't know if the problem is similar.
I really hope the phone isn't dead, it's almost brand new
This is exactly what I have . The main problem is we can not see phone partitions. Always the alarm "can not access " or "format" !Waiting for some body to help restaure our LG G2.

Are you still under warranty. If you can't get into download mode that means that LG won't be able to either. You could process a return directly from LG.
Problem solved ...
Somehow I did manage to hard reset (vol - & power, wait for LG logo, release and then press vol - & power again) and then access recovery mode, so I did restore my backup (which had been renamed to ... 1970-05-01 ! lol) and my G2 is now back to life.
Weirdest thing ever... Kinda worried about flashing it again now !
Thing to remember : always have a backup file.
You are lucky man! I've done it but nothing after. I can access to hard reset but when I push power button the screen goes black as before ....
Is it actually in "Download Mode"?

So, if my G2 shows "Download Mode" on the screen with the little white dots, but it's not recognized by Windows 7, Ubuntu, or Knoppix, and is for all intents and purposes, non-responsive, does anyone know if it's actually in "Download Mode"?

Something happened to me today...
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
Hello, cutting to the chase
Model: LG G2 D802
Story time: I tried to install ressurection remix rom through the sideload, after fully wiping my phone ( Wiped system, data, yada yada ) it showed some kind of an error about SU not installing properly, I thought well if I'll reboot TWRP will automaticly install SU for me, so when I tried to reboot it showed that No OS is installed, I thought it's a simple bug so I'll reboot to recovery again to check and bam. Nothing works.
+ Can't boot into recovery ( Tried volume down + power button ) LG Logo shows up and goes blank again ( Note that the screen doesn't turn off, just stays black, after holding it for a couple of seconds I can see screen going off completely but can't turn it on)
+ Can't turn it on normally.
+ Can't boot into download mode.
+After plugging it into an USB it mounts a D lettered drive with 63MB stuff in a folder called image with *.mdt files, modem files( I can screen it if it's important )
I'm clueless, never happened to me even though I flashed a lot of roms, I think I bricked it. Help?
UPDATE: I managed to quickly release Volume Down And Power buttons when LG appeared for half a second and hold it again, succesfully booted into TWRP. I haven't bricked it I think. Will tell how it goes <3
Hey man, how'd it go?
I'm in exactly the same situation as yours, can boot into twrp but nothing else works, i fear of the qhsusb_bulk brick but these people don't even seem to have recovery.
Any suggestions? Go back to stock? How?

How did it go!? I'm in a similar situation (but can boot into download-mode). Would love to get back to twrp, since I want to give it a try to flash another cm (stable). Thanks for sharing your experience...
If its picking up bulk mode normally its hard bricked there is a guide for restore nearly all g2s from hard brick having done it myself included 1st time took me a week to get back up but. Now i prob take about 45 min just cause i aint had one in a while

Hey there, can you specify what you did exactly or where to find!? Do you mean something like this? (can't post outside links, in XDA-forum, title is "LG G2 is UNBRICKABLE NOW! [FIX REAL HARD BRICK]") Thanks for help...
Yes thats it. Lol i still got the files on my pc for my g2 i keep the whe setup cause im on the g3 now i just check in the g2 forums cause i had mine for 2 years and modded the crap outa it but yea i keep all the files on hand so if anything ever happens i can fix it almost on the fly now
Well so what happened to me that I managed to get inside the TWRP. When it lighed it up for a second I quickly released and held again that got me inside magically. So then I just transfered new rom and tried to install again. Sadly I didin't see that the ROM Im trying to install requires bump TWRP and I bricked my phone again. Though I entered download mode and flashed the stock rom through LG G2 flasher.
heres a video i made, how to go into recovery. for those that cant get in to twrp.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPUTImVEHqc
My note 3 n9005 international model is stuck in a loop trying to go into recovery mode every time.
The sequence goes as such:
- The phone vibrates and the screen shows a glimmer in the bottom of the screen, it goes away in a split sec.
- The phone proceeds to vibrate once again and after 2-3 seconds the phone boots up with the note 3 and such stuff.
- Up in the left hand corner it says: RECOVERY BOOTING. .... (dark blue text). Next line is: RECOVERY IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING (red text). Next line is: Set Warranty Bit: recovery (yellow text)
- The phone then turns off and wait for around 9-10 seconds and then the three steps above go into repeat again and again.
The only thing that stops this is pulling out the battery which i have done several times now ...
I have tried the two "Famous" key combinations AKA. Home + Power + Volume up or Volume down
but none of them seem to have any effect .. only thing that happens is that the "3-step process mentioned" now has a delay of about 15 seconds to continue instead of waiting only 10 seconds which i presume means that it turned off at some point really quick and then turned back on to begin the loop again.
Now for the cause of this mayhem:
I was trying to install a custom rom(Darklord Note 5 rom that converts your note 3 into a note 5 software) in which a Aroma installer was involved, but my TWRP recovery went into a freeze once it was trying to open up the aroma installer, i got out of this situation fairly easy by pressing the Home + Power button to turn it off and then proceeded to go into recovery and then reboot which went smoothly. But i really needed to change into this other rom since my current rom is terribly slow(CM 12.1). SO, i went around the net and found out that the aroma installer freezing was a common problem for certain versions of TWRP.
So i tried installing an earlier version (2.6.70 i believe) on top of the other one using an app called "flashify" .. which i believe is the source of this problem since it probably couldn't overwrite my current version of TWRP. And as such im now stuck in this devilish loop which is a pain in the arse.
P.S Overwriting from Clockword mod recovery 3.X to TWRP 3.X went smootly and there were no issues there .. so i guess the downgrading of the TWRP is the problem ??
I hope this is not such a seldom occurrence that you have no experience in which you can help me :-/
Please help me with this !
It might not be the only solution but when I've previously got the boot loops I've had to reinstall a stock rom from Sammobile and then root again and reinstall TWRP and then reinstall my chosen ROM using TWRP. You might loose data if you did not Nandroid backup
I can't do any of those things

Hi, it seems i haven't made myself clear enough ... i've tried the 2 key combinations as mentioned in the post .. but none of them have any special effect .. i have no way to boot into recovery mode or download mode.
So without download mode i have no way of using ODIN to reinstall stock firmware .. i am aware of how to use ODIN so if the download mode worked this whole thing would not be an issue for me since i could just do what you said in your reply.
But the problem is that it doesn't work ... so i dont know how to get into the phone and do stuff to fix it.
Also, i dont care about data such as photos and stuff ... the only thing i care about is my phone getting fixed!
Hope you can help or maybe someone you know for me

Hmm, in the case of an hard brick .. what so you suggest i do ?
Do i go to the store to get it fixed. (my warranty actually expired 1 month ago) and in the case of needing such a fix .. how much do you think it would cost ?
Or do i wait for a solution from some guy on this page ?

First I would Google a solution, second I would wait about a week, who knows there might be a guy here who knows how to fix it, third of all and the end of all choices is to get it to a store, idk it might cost you at around 50-60 dollars. I once hardbricked my LG and they charged me 50 dollars. Let's hope your issues gets fixed without losing a lot of money.

" Hard-bricked – it refers to the phone as totally jammed, unresponsive or no visible signs of starting to work as it suppose to be. No display at all. You can’t even access the Download Mode screen. The only resolution for this is by using the method called JTAG flashing, which is you are forcing to install the firmware back to the phone. The process that you are about to experience is not too easy; this includes disassembling the phone, some soldering job required and flashing by means of using a flashing device tool.
– This method means that you cannot save your device at all by yourself anymore. If you considered necessary to have your Samsung Galaxy Note 3 back to life, the best way for you to do is to bring the device back to your dealer. Explain impressive that might persuade them to have your Galaxy Note repair for free of charge or have an exchange for warranty. "
The process explained afterwards involves "download mode" which i can't access ... so yeah .. guess il'l wait for a bit for a response that might help me .. otherwise ... il'l just take it to the store i guess !
also .. what do you think about this part: " bring the device back to your dealer. Explain impressive that might persuade them to have your Galaxy Note repair for free of charge or have an exchange for warranty" ?
do you think it means explaining it to the dealer in detail what has happened .. or does it perhaps mean to act like a total fool and be like ; " umm .. is this supposed to be like this ?"
Hope you understood that one better than i, cause if i can get a free fix il'l be real happy !

Yeah wait for a while. And what he meant was to lie lol to say you didn't do anything and somehow your device died, but unfortunately that only works when you have a warranty.

It seems like we'll have to go with MIGHT since i just idetified it as being a stage 2 hard brick, i must have fiddled with it a little too much ... Hmm, the phone was getting old anyways and performance was faltering by the minute too. So i guess il'l check it out at the store if they can repair it for something like 50$ - 100$ .. otherwise, i guess il'l get myself a ****ty phone for now and wait for a new flagship smartphone to appear !
I was thinking about going for LG G5 .. good idea ? or do you have another suggestion

Do you suggest buying one or making one myself (i found some guides about it ) .. which one do you think would perform best ? (assuming i make mine correctly)
Whether you make or buy doesn't matter as long as it does the job. I will say that a pre made jig is small and neat.

hey in same position and want to do exactly as you mentioned,start from scratch again which infact i dont mind at all..problem is im unsure of how to do it as all i can get w h en trying all else button combo's battery pulls etc is the start screen of twrp that just loops ..
thanks in advance for reading this
give a try with Kies 3
connect your phone with pc and open kies. there you see "phone recovery guide". click on it and it will try to reinstall the whole firmware and bootloader etc. screenshot attached
I believe kies has been replaced with smart switch.

smart switch will not detect note 3 as it is developed for new devices like note 5 and onwards.
My note 3 and s4 worked with smart switch.

Hi all. I hope someone can help me...first off all, im new to this software rooting and rom and all the other things to do with android software. Its my first time having a problem like this. Today i got a LG G Flex, at first, i loved the phone, no problem, but i was told that the phone was "loaded" with new software and that it just reboots by itself every now and then. I could live with that, now heres the problem, i cant do anything with it, after they reset the phone to delete accounts and personal info, the phone only rebooted once in like 10 minutes, then i added my accounts etc, then it started rebooting like every time it starts up. As soon as its on, and you unlock it, it reboots....you will be lucky to reach the settings menu!!! So ive managed to do a soft reset, still no luck. Ive tried reaching factory mode (volume up + volume down + power key) but all i get is a screen full of chinese letters...i was told to try volume down + power key until the lg logo appears and then release the power key and hold it again, it does nothing. Can only reach the chinese letters screen and a screen that i believe is for rooting the software or something like that. What must i do? Must i try to put back other software? And how do i do it? Already downloaded lg flash tool and lg drivers if i need it.
Please help....
