Will pay to get phone fixed! - G2 General

At this point i'm desperate. I flashed my lg g2 with it's original firmware and rooted my phone. Saw the OTA download on notification but didn't touch to install as it said. However, I did restart my phone and I got stuck in a bootloop. Did a factory reset and use twrp adb terminal to write this command: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota. However, I get an error saying memory full. So, I tried download mode and tried to reflash my phone that way, however it gets to 4% and then I get hit with a wparam error. I been searching the forums and trying everything with no luck. Anyone in the metro area NYC that can help? I will pay you a 100 bucks if you can get this thing working for me again.

Were you using a custom recovery before bootloop?

I followed this guide and was successful in flashing the phone to it's original state http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 Then I continued to follow the the tut and root the phone, which I was also successful. I continued the follow the tut and flashed twrp and noticed I had the OTA notification. I thought nothing would happen because I didn't touch the notification to install it, however when I flashed and restarted phone I got the lg bootloop. I tried the adb commands that could be found here on xda but I get the error that states something about memory. I then tried to reflash the orginal firmware using the above tutorial but I end up getting a wparam error at 4%. At this point I don't know what to do, adb won't recognize my device so I can't go that route either.

It's time for you to contact customer service of your telecom provider.

In download mode it shows that my phone is rooted. Also, doing a reset takes you to the twrp recovery. Will tmobile be thorough enough to go through all these steps to try to help or will they just switch out the phone for me? I got it back in mid March.

Which phone variant do you have and what ROM did you try to flash?

Tmobile D801, didn't flash any rom. I just flashed the kdz file that was in the tut I linked above. Then I flashed twrp and restarted phone, then bootloop. Saw the OTA notification, however I didn't touch the button to install.

Can you mount a usb stick in twrp via otg? If so you could flash a Rom from there.

if you can enter download mode try the TOT method and make sure you take all the OTA's before rooting it again.

So after reading and searching I finally found out the problem and was able to reflash the firmware. It was so silly but I wanted to thank xda user kimitza for mentioning this in the guide posted in this hread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498102
All I had to do was use the usb port in the back of my pc rather than the front one. I know it's silly but up until now I have been doing everything from the front usb port but never in download mode. I was able to flash the firmware originally from the front usb the only difference was that I was always in the android os and then it would restart my phone then put me in download mode.
In any case, i'm glad I got my phone working and wanted to thank everyone who took the time to send messages offering help as well as the people here in the thread.

Better check the phone provider first, they may have some workarounds.

[Q] Optimus P500H BRICKED, NOT ROOTED :(

Hello. This is my first time actually visiting the Optimus One forum although I have had my phone for maybe 2 months. I was not going to root my phone, in case I need warranty, so I was using the stock rom, although it was a little slow.
So I thought MAYBE there is an update on LG website, so I went on there, and found out that I can update by connecting to the computer. So I did download all the files they required (at least I think I did), and I followed the instruction, and started updating. Here comes the first problem encountered: While the phone was n Emergency mode, during the updating was in process, it said Phone and PC has problem communicating or something like that. And there was a restart button. It said disconnect the phone, and remove battery and connect again, and then press restart. So I did. Then now after that the LG software update tool doesn't recognize the phone. It said connect it and press OK or something. I think this is the point where I bricked my phone. A NON rooted phone. So I don't even have a custom recovery to flash anything! I hate LG right now. They are so stupid. I don't know what happened..
I tried the method here:
http://androidforums.com/optimus-one-support-troubleshooting/237642-bricked-lg-optimus-one-help.html
But I couldn't download the right KDZ firmware for my phone, that is available in the link in that link above. I'm in Canada and my phone is from Koodo and the model name is P500H.
So I got a random KDZ file that's for P500 from internet, but the in the KDZ_FW_UPD emulator, that's in the link above, it says my phone is NOT detected! I reconnect the phone and restarted the software so many times. I think they want me to connect the phone while it's Turned ON, and press the "Connect to USB" button. I'm not sure though.
***PLEASE*** Help me! I really need to unbrick this..
Sorry for the long post. And Thank you!

Thank you SO much for your reply. I was searching for HOURS, and Finally found out how to make the KDZ update tool recognize my device. A LOT of people can't get it to work, but I saw someone in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1015332&page=4
that you need to remove sim card and battery. So I did, and restarted the update, and YES! It worked! I was on Foryo, but I got Gingerbread Rom from
this forum http://mobilesyrup.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21446&page=2
And I'm actually on GB now!
OMG, I have so much homework, but have been doing this for the WHOLE day! Wow..
Thank you so much for your help anyway!
Oh thanks

[SOLVED] [Q] Bricked LG L9 P769, locked BL, JB, Rooted, LG Bootloop

Hey all,
I have a CWM backup of my current rom and have backups of apps and data but am stuck at a bootloop.
As I have read countless articles, it seems my error is because I have a locked bootloader(not actually sure). Though, I only tried to flash
clockcycle's wiped v20d cwm backup file. It failed part way saying it couldn't write to /system.
Since then, I haven't been able to fully enter CWM. just see the red triangle with the droid guy on his back.
I have read Cmahendra's unbricking guide but it doesn't work as I have installed JB and even the tips to unplug, wait 10s and reopen the program to flash again it still won't work. Still stops at 15% saying error connecting to the phone.
There is a similar thread which had this exact problem which said to
use the online method to recover your phone since I had already installed JB. I edited the hosts file to remove the fake offline server and opened up the b2CAppsetup.exe, clicked on customer support,
entered my model LGP769BK and my S/N and it began to start the process and 'analyze' then crashed and said "updating is not possible any longer due to a fatal error while the LG mobile phone software Update"
I've tried to search this out myself and not waste any space but I'm at loss here. If anyone has any help, it would be much appreciated
as I don't have a phone while this is not working.
I've tried all the ways to to hard reset, master reset and still I get the droid guy on his back. I can get to S/w mode like all the other posts say to do but none of those fixes seem to work for me. Am I missing something?
Do I have any options here? I have kind of read that I should just unlock the bootloader but I don't think that applies in my case as I can't turn on my phone fully.
edit: for the online method(LG support tool), it basically cancels when it goes to the 'downloading' phase --> this is what I've seen as most of the answers but doesn't work
Upon further reading,
many seemed to need to replace their u-boot and x-loader
I did so and installed fastboot using Lelus' script here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41768774&postcount=1
I used option 6 which allowed me to flash the u-boot and x-loader from p760(works with my 769 and others as it says in the options) for JB
I'm not sure if I needed this as I don't have an unlocked bootloader.
I'm not sure of commands in fastboot but I ran
fastboot devices and it showed something
I also ran: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and I put one of my cwm backups in the "yours" folder
After I activate fastboot, it brings me to the C:\fastboot\yours folder
I assume this is for me to put my intended files in but I'm unsure if I should use my cwm backup or something else?
After it flashed the recovery img, I sent a fastboot reboot command
but it still went back to the droid lying down with a red triangle.
As some of you may see, I'm not too great with this but I feel like I'm close. Does anybody have an idea of what I should be doing?
should I flash an update.zip?
I don't know many commands but hopefully this gets me going in the right direction.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
I guess your cmw restore formatted your system but couldnt load the new system
the recovery you run with a locked bootloader uses a technique called 2nd init which i think is somewhere stored in the system partition. so when the recovery formatted the system, it lost itself too.
I've had a similar problem. the way out would be booting into the SW upgrade mode--switch off the device, remove the battery, remove the usb cable. press the volume up button and connect the phone to the computer. wait for a couple of seconds and then insert the battery.
you should be in the SW upgrade mode
now use the B2C client. if it gives an option to upgrade, use that otherwise, go to the customer support menu and press recovery phone
I have already done earlier. It may have gotten lost in my frenzy of information. I have put the phone into software mode, as you said, and it won't work either; There's no option to click upgrade because it's JB(V20D) and when I click recovery phone and enter my imei, LG mobile support tool(B2capp.exe) analyzes and then has a 'fatal error'
Since I flashed the new u-boot and x-loader my screens are all backwards/mirrored. Maybe the tool flashed an unlocked u-boot and x-loader if that's possible.
Is a recovery possible by fastboot?
I have a clean and full copy of my cwm recovery as well as apps and data backed up, I just need to get this phone in working order

If you fastboot flash the u-boot and x-loader from p769(ICS) it should go thru with the offline flash detailed in cmahendras guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
Use the KDZ_FW_UPD.zip from this thread
Or try this
Remove all of the stuff you have downloaded for this. Download the original B2C client from LG's site and use that

I have the updated kdz fw upd .zip from the unbrick and root thread as well as downloaded a new, official B2C client but they all still hang at the download part during phone recovery.
Tablechair, that did the trick.
Is this because the tool we use to flash for the offline method doesn't recognize the x and u-boot loaderse of JB?
After I installed the ICS boot loaders, my software upgrade mode wasn't mirrored anymore.
I did as tablechair and flashed the V20D.
Does anyone understand why this problem happened in the firstplace? Maybe I didn't get a full copy of clockcycle's backup cwm
or should I have not flashed his recovery in the first place since I didn't have an unlocked bootloader?
Again thank you for all your help and if anyone can provide answers to my other supplemental questions, that'd be great.
Off to root and probably unlock bootloader to be sure.
edit: I can't find the thanks button. but thank you very much tablechair. much appreciated. Hope this can help someone else
p.s. also big thanks to those who made the fastboot program for p769(Artas182x and sguerrini97). really an invaluable tool as I now know.

Things don't always go according to plan, maybe his Clockworkmod backup was made from the touch version and he didn't have artas182x second init recovery installed. So when the cwm failed the first time, did you try to restore your cwm backup?

Not yet. having problems flashing a kdz again. I've tried the 2 different software modes, as well as setting emerg and diag but still getting stuck at 15% again.
Do i have to replace my uboot and xloader with the ICS ones every time I want to use the offline flash method?
edit: yup, after replacing with ICS loaders again i'm able to flash using software upgrade. will update on whether I can restore cwm

I realized I misread your question. When I flashed before the incident, it failed to write to system and I didn't restore my other folder. I rebooted and it was all missed up. Anyway, now that I've got everything back and now with an unlocked bootloader, i was able to recover my old image. However, data isn't working so I have to find the radio to flash as I recall reading in other threads.
Can someone explain in laymen terms why this is? recap, i was on unlocked bl rooted jb and I flashed my old cwm backup when I was rooted but had a locked bl. My apps and messages were all there but the radio was different. I'd understand if I was going from ICS to JB but I was on JB both times. The only difference being a locked BL. It's got to be something about the Radio from p760 or V20B that didn't work on my earlier backup or something like that because the layout status bar is different with a "data" button and showing H instead of 4g(which are the same afaik).
Since, I restored to my backup from after my bootloader unlock and root so data is working showing 'H' with the different layout
Also, I had problems backing up and restoring until I noticed that it works better when I power off the phone and do the manual commands to enter recovery as opposed to using the app to send me to recovery(where I incurred /system backup errors).
My last question is which cwm recovery should I use? I currently have the one for a locked bootloader installed as per Artas182x's website. On that post he has a link for an unlocked bootloader recovery on the xda forums but that thread was updated to not working. Are there any disadvantages to me using a locked bootloader cwm recovery?
I don't think I have any option but to try it as I want to flash CM10.1 for p769. I also read that if your bootloader is unlocked, you can download the cwm from the googleplay. If this is true, can I just install over or should I uninstall the Artas182x locked bootloader one????
update: have to remove l9 recovery by deleting the appropriate system folders and then flash the appropriate .img through adb commands
Help.

Although I might be late, I have the same problem and the same phone and I really need help. I have a soft bricked phone lg optimus l9 and I had the same problems that you had exactly... Which is weird exept I don't have Clock Work Mod or anything ... If you get this I would really appreciate some help. Thanks
yup me too
I finally got software upgrade to work with my lg p769 that was security error cuz i still haven't unlocked the bootloader, if i knew what a good job lg and T-Mobile did in locking it i would have waited and got a g3 that my buddy rooted in like 5 min and unlocked the boot....
What worked for me is this LG FLASH TOOL 2014 THREAD ON XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
flashed both the 20H and 20D successfully i uninstalled everything lg in the control panel first though.
Hope this works for you cuz i was struggling on and off for a month to get this far lol
the 2014 tool ultimately worked for me too, once I fixed a couple things. I had rooted and forgotten to unlock, so it was at Security Error, and it would also disconnect at 15% .. in the 2014 tool, I had to install all the updates even though I'm in windows 7 or it would keep doing it. All good now.
I have been trying all these methods and I am still not able to get in the S/W upgrade mode. The only thing I am getting from the device is being able to put it fastboot mode (The inverted one). I really want to revive this phone

Hey, it's been ages since I have done any of this but IIRC, if you can get into fastbood mode u can still get into software mode,
- turn phone into fastboot mode
- open the software upgrader thing as you normally do
- maybe switch emerg to diag or something like that
- this part is where it's slightly different than the normal way(same program but u select a different option than the default 1st option on
I think if yoiu look through the tutorials it does mention an alternative method for getting into software mode
in one instance in my past, i had to reflash the ICS boot drivers so the software installer would recognize that
the flashing of the ICS boot drivers is done through fastboot. Should be a post in my history where I asked a question regarding this.
Sorry for the chaos but maybe this will help you get in the right direction since I don't know any of your phone history and what you've done etc
best of luck mate

Hey, I have been trying it with the fastboot but it keeps timing out and not allowing me to finish. One thing I should let you know is that, ever since I had put the device in fastboot, I am not able to get back the S/W upgrade mode. Dont know if that will help in seeing what my problem is or if you want me to explain everything from the beginning again, I am more than happy to.
Have you followed the steps that I linked to in the first 3 posts of this thread?
Follow the steps to flash the ICS bootloaders in fastboot and then you can do the fastboot trick for getting the software to recognize your device.
Right now your phone has the JB boot loader on it and is thus not recognized by the software.
recap:
step 1: flash the ICS bootloaders in fastboot (look at the linked thread in post 2)
step 2: use the software in emerg or diag mode but sitll follow the same steps as the tutorial. I think my earlier posts should explain precisely.
if you dont flash the ICS bootloaders, it won't be recognized by the KDZ installer

I bricked my lg g2.... please help me

so I managed to root my device without bricking it
and now I needed the twrp recovery thing so I could install cm 10.2
now I followed some tut on youtube that told me to use flashify which I did and I then downloaded some old version of twrp with it
when I rebooted my device it said safe reboot error or something.. and now it does nothing (freaking out here)
it won't turn on even when I try to reboot into recovery when I put it in my pc it shows like 10 storage devices that I need to format
pleasse help me (I had this phone for less than a week now))))))

First step: Don't panic!
Second step: Tell us which version of the G2 you have (carrier) and which update you had on before things went south, and also which version of TWRP you have.
Third step: Please explain what you mean by it not turning on but plugging it into the PC shows odd things.
Does that mean you CAN still get into recovery? Can you get to download mode? But either way, just stay calm. I just helped my buddy with the ATT version fix his phone from a similar issue a couple of days ago and I have also played with the Sprint version quite a bit and am familiar with LGs in general. Lemme know these things and I can help get you back on the right track.
Can you get into recovery mode?
If you can, try the factory reset and reboot your device.
Does your phone connect to adb?
If so i guess you could flash a fresh rom from there.
Correct me if i'm wrong, i am a new user with slight experience.
Same Thing Happened to Me
I'm freaking out a bit as well. I tried the Flashify method of installing TWRP and got the error message followed by a blank unresponsive phone. Got there via a "Phone Tech Kid" video explaining how to install TWRP. Plugging it into my computer results in being able to open a "drive" with one folder titled "image". The image file that I flashed is 2.6.3.2-g2vzw obtained via a link from this video:

Probably would be best to start your own thread. However, what update were you on? I'm hoping that you do have the Verizon version of the G2? What error is on the screen? But generally speaking, you should be able to boot to the software update mode and re-install the stock OS with the kdz file, for most G2 things. I haven't worked on a VZW one though, only Sprint and T-Mobile ones and they're all a bit different.

No imei and stuck in lg logo bootloop without computer access...help!

Ok I really did it this time. Here is what i stupidly did. my phone was on the 35b update so I used the tot method to take it back to 10b. I rooted and then used the ota updates to upgrade to 12b, and I believe to more times (of course after telling supersu to stay active thru the updates) until I got to the update that would take me over into lollipop. I downloaded the update, but then needed to charge my phone i noticed, so I told it to postphone the update. After I had a somewhat decent charge I told my g3 to update and it immediately went to twrp recovery. Thinking this odd I tried to reboot and it started to bootloop inside twrp. I tried getting it to do a recovery of a save that i had previously had downloaded to my ext sd before I lost root taking the 35b update and it went all the way thru and said success. But as soon as it rebooted into what should have been the system, It instead started bootlooping at the lg logo and hasnt stopped since. I not have got it to go to recovery but it is stock and twrp is now gone but every option results in simply restarting the bootloop. I plugged into my computer to try both tot and kdz only to have them both fail because now my computer no longer recognizes my device. During the stage that I was in recovery trying to use different predownloaded roms is when I realized that my imei has also been erased, which is why I assume my computer cant recognize it anymore. I know I probably have a list of mistakes that could have been avoided but I tried to do this myself and I admit i simply need the vast knowledge of the xda. Please someone guide me in the right direction to fix my phone. I don't have alot of money to spend to replace it and just really need to fix this one please.

im fairly knowledgeable with the g3, but im not sure i can help you
the consequences of the minor mistake you made (you cant take an ota with twrp on) are unusually severe.
we have a zip to flash that would have fixed it, but it needs to be flashed in twrp, and i dont believe i have ever seen twrp get removed while making this error.
im thinking the only fix is flashing stock. i would try different usb ports, re-install the drivers, and even try another pc, to get it recognized so you can flash it.
if there is some other fix im forgetting maybe someone else will suggest it, but in a bootloop with no twrp to flush the update, i believe your in a bad spot if you cant figure out how to get it to flash.
sorry
that is how my luck goes, thanks for looking into my problem.

I don't know if trying LG Flash Tool 2014 with a 10B KDZ would work any better than the TOT method without an IMEI.

HELP - LG V10 H961N Dual Sim Hard bricked - Stuck in Download mode

I was having some 4G connection drops with my phone, so I tried to do a Factory Reset using a KDZ file, I was on version 20t Android 6.0 Official Rom, with LG UP I tried to flash the 20t KDZ file, but I was not getting past 9%, so tried to downgrade to Lollipop 10C firmware, it seemed that it was going well, but got to 21% during the System flash and and error occurred and the flashing process stopped, so removed the battery, plugged back in and now the phone only boots to Download mode, tried installing all the LG UP files from here and the LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23.msi file as well, to no success, also downloaded the 20c ROM and got to 23% but failed again, last resort tried the old LG Flash Tool 2014, but again did not even start to flash the ROM, so I'm stuck now =( and not sure what more to do guys, any help/ideas would be awesome =)
[FIXED]
Simple solution, connection to LG Bridge did it, detected the phone even in download mode, downloaded the proper software and that was it, flashed without any issue =) Me Happy =)
