[Q] Bricked experts out there come hither - Verizon LG G2

So i got a new lg g2 for verizon last week. ive had good experiences with cyanomod and other roms so i figured off the bat that i would install one of these. turns out they were alot more problems than it was worth. so i went back to stock rom and rooted. for some reason i took OTA. now phone is stuck in fastboot. so i went through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142. so i got everything done and figured out (running live ubuntu so getting automount to stop was a challenge and then figuring out the new file paths). so now i reboot phone and try to get into twrp (from complete power off hold power button and volume down, release when logo shows and press again). so i get the "do you want factory reset" screen and i click yes, yes then it just goes into fast boot again. problem is now not even linux is reconizing the device. device doesnt go into twrp. cant get into download mode to reflash. all i got is "[16370]fastboot mode started [16420]udc_start() [16590]-reset- [1660]-portcharge- [16640] fastboot: processing commands.
do i have any hope? the phone is new from a third party so i dont think i have a chance to return to the seller, and im not sure if lg will take it either

added info
also, just read and possibly part of problem, twrp was 2.7.1.0, either way though im still stuck with it at this point

ok, so just a bit more info. now when the phone is plugged into windows 7 computer it automatically installed a driver "USB Movem Phone ADB port". so i figured id try to run adb devices and see if it showed, no luck. dont know if this puts me in a different situation or not...

Did you try via terminal $ reboot-bootloader you may be able to force into bootloader for adb sideload twrp 2.7.0.0

Adb and fastboot are two different programs. If your in fastboot mode computer won't recognize adb devices. While in fastboot mode, reboot-bootloader then see if you can get adb through toggling vol + or -

actually i just got a step farther.... now i have twrp installed and working (turns out version 2.7.1.0 and 2.7.0.0 both didnt work with my phone even though i specifically got the versions for my phone. now im using 2.6.3.2 in case anyone else is having issues).
so twrp is on the phone. by random luck i apparently had all the rom zips left on the SD card. so i was able to flash a known working rom (at least it was working well enough to get by...). so i flashed the rom and rebooted the phone. unfortunatly it went straight back into twrp. i dont know if there is a flag i havent set or what. i thought i saw a walkthrough about what to do at this point, so im still working on it and i will update if i can fix it... but as i stated right now have twrp 2.6.3.2 working, still no download mode apparently(ill mess with this more because originally this is how i was flashing back to stock when things went wrong), and even though twrp installed a known working rom its still booting straight into twrp (without the whole power and volume down seqeunce...)

Some ROMs won't work on 2.6.3.2

would it automatically go to twrp if the rom didnt work? the reason im asking is because when i was messing around with the roms throughout the week some of them didnt work (either black screen at boot, or bootloop with logo). and i would have to manually shut the phone off, then go through factory reset, then it would turn on twrp. right now the phone just turns on and goes straight to twrp

If recovery doesn't detect a compatible ROM it bootloops. That or corrupt download itself, make sure to verify md5s whenever possible.

YAY, got it mostly back kinda sorta. so i followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 after getting back into twrp. i dont know what this did or if it helped. then i flashed a new rom (which i also by chance had on the SD already) i believe it was malladus 1.2.9 and it worked (except i didnt put gapps or anything so it was having a fit about play... now its restarted and i have download mode back so ill just flash the whole thing with the regular rom (the rom on this website might even be older than the phone, but for me it worked well...). here is that website i case anyone needs it http://www.lg-phones.org/guide-to-flash-restore-unbirck-verizon-lg-g2.html i will reflash and post results, hopefully a bone stock phone to start over with...

As far as a straight to recovery, I haven't had that problem on my g2. On my tablet,I run multi ROM recovery and it will go straight to recovery if a ROM is not installed. I would think it would do the same on vs980 twrp.

btw thankyou for suggesting a different rom, wouldve probably been stuck for awhile without that advice. so flashed verizon stock firmware(which also deletes everything) and its 100% running with the exception of the activation (switched back to old phone while working on getting this guy running again). i feel like ive learned alot more than i ever wanted so ill stay subscribed to this thread and if anyone has similar issues when you post hopefully ill be able to help alittle... no promises though

[Q] Clockwork Mod

I seem to be having trouble with my install of CWMT 6.0.3.1; Aroma freezing (known issue) and the nandroid I made of my original image tells me the md5 doesn't match (!!).. i get all sorts of failed to mount messages when starting it too.
I notice there's version 6.0.3.2 for Sprint and T-Mobile, so how is that different to the regular HTC One? Hoping that a reinstall and update might fix some of these problems, but just wanted to check if these other versions would work on an international version.

Have you renamed your Nandroid backup at all?
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Nope, didn't touch a thing. Just tried to restore the backup after an install of ARHD seemed to crash mid-install, and CWMT restarted the phone when I didn't tell it to so I got stuck in a bootloop - couldn't even turn the phone off despite holing down the power button, it just kept turning back on. Couldn't load recovery either..
Got all that sorted with loading CWMT via fastboot and reinstalling ARHD. Got Aroma freeze, but at the end this time, so after reboot it finally booted in to the system... but not convinced all is stable.
Not sure if it's a CWMT thing, or something else? My bootloader now also says 'tampered', not sure why or if that changes anything?

Its an Aroma thing. Just go through the install slowly, try not to use the touchscreen - use the volume and power buttons instead. Also, people say that it tends not to crash if the phone is cool in temperature.
Tampered, I think, is just because you have a custom recovery. Nothing to worry about.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
Thanks for clarifying Still seem to have Aroma problems even when using the buttons, and occasionally it crashes mid-install. Get there in the end though, and have switched to TWRP which seems to work a bit better with the Aroma installs.
I read that CWM 6.0.3.2 has fixed the Aroma problems, but is only available for Sprint and T-Mobile at the moment.

[Q] HTC One won't turn on. Can't go into recovery or fastboot. Bricked?

I tried searching the threads but couldn't find one with a problem like exactly mine. Sorry if I was a lousy searcher, but here goes:
1 I had TWRP and TrickDroid 5.5.1 installed. Working fine.
2 Downloaded TrickDroid 6.0.1, went into recovery, wiped everything/factory reset etc. and installed the new ROM, rebooted
3 Working fine but there is no root
4 Tried wiping everything again and reflashing the same ROM. Rebooted. Same thing: ROM is working but there's no root
5 Read somewhere that flashing a different kernel might work, so I flashed Bulletproof 1.10 through TWRP. At the end of the installation of the kernel, right before reboot, TWRP said that my root seemed to be broken and asked me if I wanted to fix it. I said yes. As soon as I said yes (by swiping), phone shut off. Now it won't even start so I can't get into recovery. Pressing Volume-down+Power won't get me into fastboot either.
—The only sign of life is this: when I long press the power button, the home and back buttons will blink as long as I continue pressing it. When I release, nothing happens.
—When I plug the phone to PC, it sees it as a "HTC MTP device" and looks for the drivers but fails to find them.
I had never any trouble with flashing ROMs before so I got lazy with time, I don't have any nandroid backup, though since I can't get even into fastboot I guess that's the least of my problems?
Please help; did I really just brick my phone?
Just happened to me too man, I'm not sure what to do! Sorry to hijack your thread, just looking for answers too.

No need to apologize, that's why we're here. Please report back if you can find a solution.
Google told me that HTC's RUU tool could possibly help unbrick it, so I've downloaded the European variant ("RUU_M7_UL_JB_50_HTC_Europe_1.20.401.1_Radio_4A.13.3227.06_10.27.1127.01_release_308001_signed_2_4"). I fiddled a bit in the Device Manager in my PC and somehow got it to recognize the phone as "My HTC" under "Android ...", then ran the program. HTC logo appeared on the phone's screen so I got excited but after 10 minutes of waiting RUU told me it was the wrong variant and exited. Back to nil. I'm now downloading another variant of the RUU. We'll see if it helps. (I can't for the life of me figure out how to make my PC recognize the phone again though; I'm back to "MTP device, failed to install drivers" phase. Frustrating.)

That doesn't work for me unfortunately, the capacitive buttons just keep on flashing. I can get my PC to recognize it as "HTC Android Interface" but the second RUU failed, too. Glad yours got fixed, though.

if you can get still have adb access use Hasoon's AIO Toolkit to reboot to bootloader/recovery and go from there. otherwise hold power and volume down button with the screen facing a very bright light.

Bricked after attempted TrickDroid update
I’m having the same problem.
Attempted to update Trickdroid 6.0.1 to 7.0 last night.
My phone now constantly hangs on the boot screen.
I can get to the fastboot and bootloader menus via long press volume down and power but anything from here simply reboots the phone back to the boot screen.
I’ve tried connecting the phone to the PC and using Fastboot and the One all in one kit but the device is never recognised.
Basically I’ve bricked my phone and need help!!

go to fastboot, use HTC all in one kit by hasoon to flash TWRP, go in twrp, Wipe everything including data, system, cache, dalvik cache, again go on HTC kit and put command of adb sideload, go on TWRP advanced menu and sideload roam. once sideload gets transferred, it will start installing and try different rom like ARHD 10.1
I can't belive it, but the bright light thing actually worked for me!
Thanks!
I was in the same situation with an HTC logo and flashing back and home keys. When I tried volume down + power under a bright light, it came back to life in bootloader. Not sure what the bright light has to do with it but glad it worked.
Bright light solution is from twrp sleep bug.. I read it before.. Good luck

The bright light trick is not a bug, and it has nothing to do with TWRP. It happens because HTC built in a "pocket protection" so that the phone will not reboot on its own in your pocket. The proximity sensor needs light shining on it for a hard reboot to work. (Sometime they're not sensitive enough and it takes a brighter light than you would expect)

Solved - Locked Boot Screen, Unable To Access Custom Recovery Image.

Very noobish issue. Rooted, unlocked bootloader on Atrix HD. Set up SafeStrap as recovery. Everything checked and working. After letting SafeStrap install Cyan 10.3 and rebooting, phone entered CyanogenMod boot screen and become stuck for an hour. Realized that I forgot to reset and wipe all stock settings and cache (yes, I know that should have been obvious step). Figured I could just go into SafeStrap and make the quick fix.
Seems that I'm unable to enter my custom recovery, instead I'm lead to the familiar bricked android stock recovery. No options to access stock rom (assuming it was deleted during install or lost, etc). Tried installing a different recovery, but fastboot on PC is unable to find device. Help at this point is very much appreciated, either to do any of the following:
1. Somehow access SafeStrap again (assuming that it wasn't wiped aswell) so I can clear stock settings and cache, get Cyan 10.3 going properly.
2. Instructions/links to another method to otherwise forcibly delete stock settings and cache (please keep in mind, fastboot is currently unable to find device).
3. Otherwise completely clear phone of EVERYTHING, then reinstal stock recovery and or/stock ROM so I can give up on flashing custom and stick with stock.
*Update:
Was finally able to get phone into AP Fastboot Flahsh Mode. My computer itself can't see the phone, but device manager shows it as "Fastboot QINARA S" and I'm able get a response through my PC's end of flashboot.
Tried using RSD lite to install a stock ROM, but no success since the phone isn't off and can't be turned off without trying to go into another Boot Loop. Also tried installing a new recovery through fastboot, but I keep getting the response, "(Bootloader) variable not supported."
At this point, I'd be really happy if I could get the proper commands to wipe and factory reset my phone while in fastboot. At least then I'd have Cyan. I could try installing stock if it continued to glitch.
Update Motorola drivers on your computer and check threads for fastboot files from skeevydude.

Well safestrap is for use with locked bootloaders so there lies your problem. Maybe you can make a factory cable or buy one to put your phone into fastboot so you can flash stock through rsd.

The error is from using the wrong fastboot executable. Look at post 5. If you get a stickybit error, search our general forums for "stickybit" and you'll find that fix.

With a bit of creativitity one could use SSR to dual boot Holo Blur and Batakang....or two custom 4.3's that use the same kernel....PAC + Carbon both with arrrghhh's kernel.....Only problem is ya can't be a noob at all if ya do it.
Solved issue...somehow.
Used method shown in link below to install stock recovery image since Safety Strap was apparently deleted/wiped/banished?
(can't link, still noob poster. Just search, "[Guide] How to flash back to Stock Rom - chacha. Please Sticky This !", should be the first result.)
After installing stock recovery, was able to go to the standard dead android screen, but after punching the volume buttons randomly, the option menu for stock recovery opened. Was able to factory reset and wipe cache, then properly reboot. Cyanogenmod finally got out of it's BootLoop, and everything seems to be running fine. Flashed a non-official CWM (no offical CWM or Twrp avaliable for Atric HD) and got Gapps. Phone is finally running fine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lingering issues worth mentioning incase there are obvious fixes.
.Cyan likes to crash whenever running programs for the first time or doing do much activity in a short amount of time (I suspect the cache has something to do with the cleared cache since revisiting apps doesn't cause crashes as often). If it persists, I'll probably just back up and look for a more stable rom.
.All notification lights are white, except the battery notification lights, despite me changing the colors and/or allowing apps to use their own light settings.
When you're at the "dead Android" screen pressing Vol Down + Power pushes it into recovery, iirc - might seem random but there's a purpose behind it.

Hi, I am having the same issue you had... how the heck were you able to get back into stock recovery? Every time I try my phone just reboots and gets stuck again. I cant even turn off my phone with out it rebooting. I have read your posts and followed that other forum you mentioned but if I cannot boot into recovery and if my computer cant see my phone it wont work. Please help when you get a chance.

[Q] HELP! Accidentally flashed a international ROM on my Sprint HTC.

i was running the latest AndroidNow ROM and then i downloaded Android Revolution HD since i saw Sprint Support on it and stupidly flashed on mine. not realizing its not for me *yet*
and so it didnt boot. so i went back and boot to recovery. TWRP 2.6.3.0 and restored my phone to my last ROM AndroidNow.
it boots. i noticed i dont have a signal but i was connected to wifi. so i tried doing 4636 code. then selected GSM/WCDMA since im outside US. (Vietnam) but it didnt work and after a few minutes. it rebooted itself. and since that time everytime i boot. it goes all the way to the main screen only to reboot once again.
i tried reflashing AndroidNow. it finishes with no problems. But never boots. itll reboot once it finishes but will go back to TWRP recovery.
Im having problems with drivers of it too. Im using Windows 8.1 x86 and i cant seem to find a working Driver for Sprint HTC One. Please help.

Out of nowhere my phone rebooted and started bootlooping. Eventually it came on but within minutes it did it again. After about an hour of pulling the battery abd trying to boot it, it finally came on. I went to use some app (I cant remember the title) to boot into twrp but it froze and started to bootloop again. I had never granted SU permissions to the app and it hadnt come up. Now that i have my computer I was able to boot into download mode (Firmware update screen) but my fastboot boot twrp.img command is stuck on waiting for device. Im guessing a malicious app caused the bootloop as i granted some app SU permissions only to later realize that it never needed it. All it did was download apk files for pentesting and diagnosis apps. It may be one of those apps however. I was on a custom ROM with an unlocked bootloader and twrp (although i cant seem to boot to it). LG Bridge couldnt find the device. Any help would be appreciated as this is my only device and I'm waiting for a call back for a speeding ticket and don't want to be screwed over :crying:
Since you have twrp and unlocked bootloader you should be able to access twrp still. This happened to me but from wiping internal storage by accident. Make sure you have your custom rom of choice on your sd card or the one you were running. Power off your G4 completely and while its off enter recovery mode manually. You may need to do this a few times for your G4 to enter recovery but it will boot to twrp. I believe its hold power button and volume down button then release for a sec both buttons when you see the lg logo then continue to hold them again. Do the factory reset option and after that it will boot to twrp and flash your rom again. Hope this works.

I tried that and it doesnt take me to twrp or the factory reset screen
Did you try it a few times? I had to do it like 5 times before I got the factory reset option. Maybe you have the dreaded hardware failure bootloop.

Happened to me. Every time I would use the hardware keys to get into TWRP it would go back to the bootloop. Most likely is hardware issue like he said ^^ I contacted LG and they told me to send it. It's on its way back to me

My phone started bootlooping on Saturday so i called T-mobile and i just received my replacement phone today. Now im afraid that they're going to find out that my phone was rooted because when u turn the phone on it says bootloader unlocked and if they even get into recovery mode it will have twrp installed
