[UPDATED][10/23/2014] Bricked to the Bone D801 (T-Mobile LG G2)

LG D801 (T-Mobile) Bricked[/U][/B]
The device has been bricked and is in this condition:
Download mode shows as dots and is not recognized by Windows (only occasionally as "Unknown Device")
No custom recovery (it has been wiped in fastboot)
No ROM (system was wiped)
It makes a nice paperweight

Click to collapse
This device does not allow fastboot, unless there is a software issue (which I cannot purposely cause without ADB in a custom recovery).
I have tried every set of drivers on Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) and am unable to change the COM port to 41 because the device isn't recognized at all (it was being recognized last night, but the version of Windows I have didn't have ANY options to change the COM serial port).
No, a rooting method will not work (I'm a Recognized Developer, so trust me).
I have Linux and Windows 7 dual-booting.
I have used everything [URL="http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2F"]HERE

.
I have also tried THIS driver method (when the device was actually visible on Windows, but the driver never successfully installed).
I manually repartitioned the device using this method on Ubuntu, but accidentally used the stock recovery image.
I am trying to use this method, for Windows, with no luck (because of the phone not being recognized on Windows).
I have tried a friend's desktop with no luck. I have used different USB ports and cables, as well.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Especially if I could somehow trigger fastboot.

So you flashed LG's stock recovery, can you actually boot into that?

It just sticks at the "Processing factory reset..." message.
I need a miracle here, haha.

Your download mode works if there are no blue circles when you start it.
Try installing ubuntu, knoppix etc under vmware and see if it gives you any errors.
also under windows watch the devices under device manager.

Oh if his download mode is just hanging at the loading screen but never gets to the loading circle it's most definitely a goner, considering his recovery hangs that probably confirms he dd'ed the wrong bootstack.
@MikeCriggs Check if you have fastboot mode when you try loading recovery or download mode (as the bootloader's fallback) - if not you need to RMA. No big deal I've killed 2 so far via bootloadery mischief.

Did you make sure that when you put your device in download mode that you changed the port to COM41 in device manager?

Hi everyone, I have a big problem on my phone (SM-N910F) does not start even in download / recovery mode, the screen is off. I think it's a "hard brick."
All I can see now in device manager is Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM7).
Is there any possibility to bring my phone back into download mode? Please help me !!!

Well lets start by telling us what you did to the phone to get you where you are. And, what model is the N910F?
EDIT: is the "F" version for Europe?

What happens when you try to enter download mode?

claudiudanila said:
Thank you, I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 4, model SM-N910F for Europe.
I used a zip package to run a script via TWRP. The script was erasing some applications(bloatware) from rom. After the script was executed, I forgot to execute a wipe data/cache/factory and my phone was started to boot. After touchwiz was initialised, 3 seconds later my phone froze. Then I removed the battery and...here I am.
My computer is able to detect the phone(i can see in device manager Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM7) but Odin is unable to see any phone connected.
I've already tried an USB JIG but nothing...
I found an interesting thing, I can connect to the phone using QPST, please find attached a screenshot(Capture1.png). Here I found an option named Software Download. I've clicked this option and i can see: COM7 Phone in Download Mode. Please look at the attached picture Capture3. Here I can see two options: Phone Image and Boot image. Can I upload some specific boot image to unbrick my phone?

Not sure I can help you but you may be using a corrupted program, QPST. See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263391
When the phone is hooked up to the charger do you get a charging indication on the LED? Is the battery charged or at least have some charge left on it?
Have you removed the battery and then tried to boot. If not give that a try. The only other recommendation I can offer since I've never used QPST and I don't know what script you ran to remove bloatware so I can't tell what it potentially did is to try to recover your phone through Kies (Samsung software). I seldom recommend Kies and have never used it myself since I have an unlocked bootloader, but if Kies recognizes your phone there may be hope. Good luck.

Nothing...the screen is black, i cannot see anything, also Odin is unable to see the phone.

well it is weird that QPST shows you are in download mode but odin cannot see it.

Judging by the screenshots i would say its windows.
That said, I don't think I have any more ideas to add to the solutions already suggested.
You might wanna try your luck with z3x box or visit samsung service center.. that's all there's left to add.

First person with that problem :laugh:
Sorry but that really gave me a giggle. That's what I think when my drivers won't install. Drivers are a headache, you need a lot of patience with this.
Go to the back to stock thread and download the LGUnitedmobile drivers.
Install them and then try connecting in download mode again.
It doesn't always work straight away, keep trying until windows accepts them.
The fact that your phone is charging is a good sign. Good luck

Have you tried pdanet drivers? They work well.
You need to delete the lg drivers from device manager.
Then install pdanet and reboot your pc.
Try connecting that way.

Even if it doesn't pick up your phone it should return something like this:

If not work please install lg driver in windows 7 pc then plug phone in download mode and take screenshote for dovice manager and put it her then try to boot it and again take another screenshote

I think he might have to do that. If ubuntu doesn't mount his phone then there's a problem.
It's late now and I'm going to bed. Best of luck Dan.

Hard brick SM-N910F

Tried installing custom recovery didn't work out like I had hoped now im stuck with a phone that isn't detected by odin or kies but by MiFlash
Please tell me there is something I can do to fix it or get it to some sort of working order..? Is there a jtag tool or usb jig I can use?
Update - I found out the phone was still under warranty so I sent it away to be repaired. It was repaired and I now have a working phone !

What have you done to reach that state? I know that you're desperate but you must give some details if you want help.

It was given to me with 5.1.1 installed however it failed mid process and while on 5.1.1 it kept freezing and acting weird such as boot with weird errors and they only appeared after it was updated, I decided to root it with odin and it never fully rebooted after the was root applied. I finally got it to boot to stock and rooted and decided to install a custom recovery which was twrp while selecting the recovery it said if its a wrong location it will brick, with this in mind I checked the model with the one on their site and it seemed to make sense and applied it.
This caused the original problem which made it boot straight to download mode with it saying it could not normal boot. I then googled the problem and one said the pit was corrupted and downloaded the correct file. I then applied this through odin with stock firmware and it refuse to flash. At the time I was thinking a restart on the device would help, but it resulted in not booting at all and not being detected....
It does not light up or make a vibration when its connected or powered on if there is any solution it would be great...

Can anyone help or point in the right direction?

Hello! If this is the good recovery for the N910F he would have from start.
Try to boot via the recovery flight up + home + power.
If you TWRP flash a custom in a first time rom

Can you tell us if you can get on recovery screen, either TRWP or stock, or download mode.

You could try installing these drivers:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24499762636000789
Reboot just in case and try to connect your device again.
(In download mode, with the key combination)

frp locked & usb not recognized

somedays ago, i rooted my samsung galaxy grand prime (sm-g531f). which is processed by flash twrp via odin, & then flash supersu via twrp recovery.
after root, i erroneously add google account, so that frp lock was on. and top of that when i go to recovery mode its shown "custom binary blocked by frp".
so, solve this problem (bcoz i already solve this many time on many phone), i go to download mode, and i try to connect my phone via usb cable in pc, but everytime it say "usb device not recognized", but when my phone was switched on (before locked by frp), it also not recognized by usb but it was charging..
so, now:
*i cant switch on my phone
*cant go to recovery mode
*cant connect by usb cable
*i tried on many usb cables
*two laptops
*install/unistall samsung mobile drivers many times
but, nothing wasnt solved my problem..
if anyone also faced this problem, and solved this, please share your valuable process in this thread.. and help me...
Update-1: now i even change my phone's usb connector if anything could happen, but again my bad luck.. nothing happen, means usb not recognized..
Update-2: sorry i was offline or forgot to update my condition. I was tried to fix it via many mobile hardware technichian. And at last, i fixed my problem by change my whole motherboard. Bcoz, the all technichian told me that, it was my phone's cpu which have problem. For that, it couldn't recognize by any pc.

Do u have another samsung phone? If yes then try this connect that phone to your laptop or pc let it be recognised anf when thatd done removed the port from that phone and immediately connect your phone in download mode. This worked for me. If that doesnt work tell me ill look for another solution

This might be stupid but try it worked for many people. Boot your phone in download mode connect it to your pc open odin and without removing the cable remove the battery of your phone. Your screen wont go off , and if odin recognizes your phone put the battery back. It might not work but still give it a try

I'm having this exact problem also. I've downloaded usb drivers for Samsung, i've downloaded kies, ive tried 5 different computers and 4 different cords. No computer even recognizes it (but it does charge) and only one computer says couldn't recognize usb device.
Currently i'm stuck in the google loop of trying to login with an ID that you've previously used on this device and when i enter in the correct info it just keeps looping back to that screen, so i cant even get into the phone to debug or choose MTP connection etc.
The only reason i pulled out the grand prime and started working on it, was i rooted my s6 and s5 and i wanted to keep learning so i pulled out the grand prime and realized its powerful enough to run updated software so it doesn't have to be a paperweight anymore.

Me too I have same problem bro plz help me

FIX for FRP LOCK USB Not Working
