Lg g5 hardbricked. Help! - LG G5 Questions & Answers

Lg g5 dead while ota update installation.
Everything I plug in a charger or press power button, lg logo appears and then a black screen with an error on top left corner.
After 1-2 seconds phone would restart and goes through this never ending loop.
Phnoe does boot into the recovery mode and except that I'm not sure about anything.
Got it checked at multiple locations but still no luck.
Had this phone laying around for over a year now in same condition.
Don't know what can be done.
Please help!
I'm not sure about the model number but in the inside of back door and on the charging port brick it says Ls992.

hmmm... if i were you, i will just go to flash TWRP recovery and then i custom rom OR even stock rom. I mean, your rom seems completely vanished, so just go to the many guides there are out there, to unlock bootloader, and flash TWRP and a rom

You can probably still boot it into fastboot or download mode, you could try flashing TWRP recovery in fastboot, or the stock firmware .KDZ in download mode.

Yes, fortunately you are only soft bricked. You can boot into download mode and reflash with lgup.

Strange stuck LG P500

Hi, i've a strange (but i hope common and resolvable) problem.
After all, i say that i searched through the forum (with the search function) but with the solution that i found and tried i didn't solve anything.
I start saying that i got a p500 with a broken sdcard reader board (it simply doesn't have a microsd 'cause doesn't recognize).
That phone some days ago just shut down and went stuck on the LG Logo.
I tried at first the hard reset (home+vlm down+pwr), nothing happens.
I tried then the recovery mode and try to update with lg updater, and didn't work, lg doesn't recognize the phone on the updater (but on the main screen of the BBc app does).
After some tries, (dumb tries, for example leaving it without battery for some hours), and searching, i did two ways:
-KDZ Firmware update way, selecting 3gqtc and diag on lg logo, or recovery (and recovery sc) on recovery screen, nothing done.
-LGMDP for installing fastboot and CWM and v20e. It completes the operation but nothing changes, the lg is still stuck on the lg logo.
The last thing that i noticed is that one time, powering on the phone, button's leds flashed about 4-5 times. but if i try to re-do the action, doesn't get anymore.
I would know if there is another way to exit from this stuck-screen.
I hope opened the topic on the right section.

When you say recovery and recovery sc, you mean EMERGENCY and CS_EMERGENCY, right?
So, you tried selecting these options while on the black menu of recovery (like the Clockworkmod one) or on the yellow screen saying Emergency Mode!! ?
In case you were on the recovery, try the following: remove the battery and, while holding the volume up and back keys, connect the phone to USB. After that, try using KDZ selecting EMERGENCY.
But in the case you were correctly on the emergency mode and just used the wrong words here, then I'm sorry but I don't know what else you could try to solve your problem (wait and see what other ideas people will come up with).

Yup, sry it's late night and i got confused with words.
I'm can go on the yellow screen and "EMERGENCY MODE" is texted on center.
And on KFC Used both modes of emergency (even diag).
I tried to do this without battery, but the result is the same. When it reboots stucks up on the lg logo. =(
Uh, i forgot to post the errors of kdz:
Upgrade error

Kernel crash, boot loop, nothing works!

I've had my Optimus G rooted for a while now, and I had recently updated to Cyanogenmod 11 M3 and after a few weeks of good use, my phone crashed for no reason. There was a green screen that said Kernel Crash, demigod fail or something and some other stuff. Told me to press up to do this, down to do this, power to do this…. Anyways the phone wouldn't boot up after that. It was stuck on the LG logo. I could only get it into fast boot and download mode but from fast boot there was no way to get to recovery or regular boot. I found the TeenyBins post and tried to fix it using both of the .bins they had but at 85% the phone tried to boot up and was stuck on the LG logo again. Then I found the stock .bins and tried to flash them over, yet I got the same result. I've tried everything I can think to do, if anyone has any suggestions, please please help.
Teenybins don't have an OS. Did you try to get into recovery after flashing them? Doing a hard reset after stock bins may get it to boot, but internal storage will be wiped. For future reference in the demigod screen the buttons are backwards.
After flashing Teenybin I can boot into fast boot, but from there when I select recovery it goes back to the logo. Same thing happens if I select the other options. It's the google logo, not the LG logo, because the Teenybin I most recently tried was the alternate file

If you are already in fastboot, download any recovery (CWM or TWRP) extract it, rename it to recovery.img from the zip and then go to the folder where you have adb and fastboot bins and type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
from there you'll be able to access recovery.
Thank you for the help, I was going to try that last night after reading your post but I took it to the AT&T store and they said they would replace it for free (warranty). I appreciate the quick response time.

[Q] I-9300 bootloop and no recovery

Hello,
I have a S3 which is stuck in a bootloop at the samsung logo.
when i turn it on it shows the logo for some seconds then the screen goes black and the logo re-appears.
i can not boot into recovery mode, but download mode is working without a problem every time.
i tried flashing stock firmwares with odin and also tried kies emergency firmware recovery. the flashing always went without any problem, but it had effect. whatever i try, i am never able to boot into recovery and still stuck in the bootloop.
in some tries after flashing the screen just shows the samsung logo forever, but after rebooting it once it then is stuck in a bootloop again (shows the logo - screen goes black - shows the logo...)
i also tried flashing TWRP and CWM via odin, but again i can never boot into recovery mode.
what should i try next?
thx alot for any helpful comment

You can Try this:
1.) Pull out battery
2.) Put it in again
3.) Press Vol up + home + power
4.) When the Samsung Logo appears let it off
I think you press the Buttons too long.
I had the same problem!

i really tried everything, it's not working. btw with i am stuck at the very first image, where it says "samsung Galaxy sII GT-I9300".
i dont think it's just the way i press the buttons because i can reach it on my s1 and s2 without a problem, it's just not working on this device.
could some setting like "nand erase all" in odin help? in other threads there is sometimes mentioned that the internal file system might be screwed up and in those cases a simple odin reflash does not help anymore...
Nand erase will usually hard brick it. Try the rescue firmware from general forum, sticky thread. Follow the guide exactly as it includes a pit file.

thx, but i already did that (multiple times) and flashing via odin always succeeds. then the phone reboots and is stuck at the first samsung galaxy s.. screen. twice i managed somehow to get into recovery (after flashing cwm6) but it then randomly rebooted.
and i dont think that the power button is stuck because when i am in download mode it is perfectly fine it never reboots itself unexpectedly.
Had a similar issue on my tab2 p3100. It all happened when I tried flashing a custom recovery from rom manager.
A bad flash of anything related to recovery or bootloader could be a probable cause.
I remember a knowledge share on one of the threads describing this issue and as mentioned on it all I had to do is this:
1) switch off the device and plug in the charger. This would light up the display showing you the charging status. The status has to show if at least your bootloader part of the phone is fine.
2) plug out the charger and immediately press the three buttons (home + vol up + power) get into recovery mode. This step has to work and help you get to recovery mode.
***Note : the interval within which this step has to be performed is too short since the display would turn off immediately as soon as you plug out the charger. A bit tricky too so you have to be fast. If this misses getting you into recovery, pull out the battery and put it back again. Repeat step1 and 2 again.
3) upon successfully getting into recovery, perform wipe data, cache and select reboot phone from option available on recovery again.
Allow the device to boot. This could take a while since you have performed a data wipe and may prompt for first time set up.
I was able to restore functionality on my tab after these steps and like ppl learn from their mistakes, I then learnt that recoveries and bootloaders are things that needs to be done with a pc only.
Worth a try if you have tried other alternatives and found no go. may help. Who knows..
all the best.
thats also not working. i tried to get into recovery since two days now...
i also tried the steps from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/solved-pit-bricked-dead-problem-gt-t2535367
but again, after i flash the cf-root (successfully) the phone does neither boot into recovery by itself nor can i do it by hand...
its crazy... in download mode i can see the model number (GT-I9300) and i thought as long as the model number is there and i can enter download mode there should be a way to recover the device.
but i cannot think of anything to try that i have not done yet
If the rescue firmware didn't help then it looks like the emmc chip is damaged.

is there a way to make certain of this? how can i tell if it is really a hardware damage and not just a software brick?
i just dont want to let the phone go, it looks still so shiny
is there anything else that could cause the phone not booting into recovery mode after flashing custom recoveries?

Same here, still didn't found how to fix it.. I guess our motherboard just died..
Howewer I have a solution that "almost" worked for me.
Get a stock firmware in odin and turn on Nand erase and T-flash
When it's done phone reboots and you'll see just "Downloading..." mode when you turn it on.
Then got to Kies and Select firmware recovery...
Enter s/n and model name and wait for the flash to complete.
With it , I got past boot logo and actually booted into android but the phone crashed because I guess I have a memory issue..
Well , gl. If you don't find anything else helpful , try going with this method..

Bootloop at LG Logo After Flashing Custom Recovery

Dear XDA Members,
My P765 now is on Bootloop, it wont load the OS. Before it happened, the phone was fine with CM 10.2 and CWM Custom. I try to flash again an TWRP which can only use to flash CM 11 Unofficial. After i flash the recovery, it went normal. I restarted the phone, and the phone was working. I copy the CM 11 then i try to flash it by entering the recovery again, but the method just open the fastboot page, not the TWRP. and now the phone bootloop on LG logo. I try hard restart, and it couldnt work. i try to flash again the KDZ but the KDZ updater said my phone not recognized. Does anyone knows what should i do to fix my phone? :crying: Thanks before.
BR,
CR
HELP!!
Even my LG-p765 is stuck in boot loop... actulally ringing boot.
But for me it happened during flashing recovery for the 1st time (i used tool tip for doing it).:crying:
Now my phone shows LG logo (just for a second) and restarts. This keeps happening unless i pull out the battery.
Please post, if anyone know how to recover from this the ringing boot.
If you can manage to get into fastboot and flash uboot and xloader, then connect the phone on software upgrade mode, it should connect. Although there is a catch, THIS WILL RELOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER.
No, it won't. If he install kdz by normal usb cable (not 910k), he will still have unlocked bootloader.
