Hi guys,
Think I've bricked my G2 beyond repair. I wanted to update to xadeb's 3.0 ROM but had to flash the 39a bootstack first. I accidently rebooted into the system instead of booting back into recovery and long story short, I can't do anything. My phone does not show up in device manager so ADB does not work, I can't get into recovery (vol down + power does not work), but I can get into something that resembles download mode (vol up + power), however I've never used this before. The phone just gets stuck at the LG Logo and does nothing after that. I can't even turn the thing off, it seems to turn back on automatically.
I've tried various LG drivers, even a universal driver, but I can't seem to get Windows to recognize my phone. Does anyone have any on how to get ADB access back? Or a way to get into recovery?

Trying to avoid buying a new phone to replace my really slow bionic by flashing the rom. I screwed up somewhere (maybe several somewheres). Anyway, where I am now is: I installed TWRP 2.6.0.0 installed (with SafeStrap 3.11). I created a Titanium backup and then tried to flash Flying Jelly 1.1 without wiping the stock slot. It was downhill from there. Right now, when I power up, if I go straight to boot, after the Motorola M, the screen goes dark with a glowing backlight and stays that way. If I go into SafeStrap/TWRP, I get all the right options. I tried Factory Reset, it completes almost immediately and nothing changes (still hangs in boot). I tried Install to flash stock 4.1.2 but that didn't work. I tried using RSD Lite but if I plug in (USB) and let it go through boot, when it hangs, USB communication doesn't work. I tried RSD Lite in SafeStrap with USB mounted but that doesn't work either. I can still get to the internal storage in SafeStrap (and have saved a copy to my pc). Is there anything else I can do before I surrender and toss the phone?
Have you tried manual install though stock recovery?
It's equivalent to fastboot FXZ, but you install via ext_sd card rather than usb cable.
You get into the stock recovery similar way as fastboot, but you choose revoery instead of fastboot.
You'll need a different zip to install by sd that's different from the FXZ file.

I too have a similar issue..I was running Blurred effects JB ROM and it was giving me issues. I took out the battery and put it back in. It loaded this boot menu loader and I couldn't go back to my main JB system. So I deleted the system file that kept sending me to stock rom thinking it would send me back to my jelly bean side. Now it remains black... I can do the whole up/down vol keys but AP fastboot doesn't work. When I plug into my computer is like the phone doesnt connect. I go in device manager and nothing is there. I cant go to recovery either... it give me the android logo with a red caution sign. I cant do moto helper or RSD lite if the phone is not on the system

Are you saying that you can't get into AP fastboot mode, or that when you are in fastboot mode, your phone won't connect to your PC?
If you can't get into AP fastboot, take out your battery wait for 3 sec. Push all 3 buttons (pwr, vol up, vol down) all together then put the battery back.
As for recovery mode, once you get the robot with the caution sign, you need to press vol up/down together for the recovery menu to show up.
You might have to do it a few time before it shows up.

Hi there i am relatively new to android modding and rooting etc. I recently tried to install Cyanogenmod to my phone and I succeeded, but the next day my phone began to restart itself, turns out that the power button is broken. We tried to repair it but ended up burning down the processors internal i/o (latch or whatever structure it has) with a faulty multimeter :crying: . Now i have to turn on my phone with a dock cable :silly: (with 1kohm res) which wakes up the phone, i can access the Download mode by plugging in the dock, and pressing home+down, but the recovery needs the power button signal too.
I can access the recovery by using adb commands, but i need to boot in. If i install a new recovery like CWM, i am stuck in a bootloop and i don't know if i can use the adb commands. Is there any other way to get into recovery mode, besides home+power+up, or adb commands?
Can i install CM onto the phone under these circumstances?
Thanks for any help given!
I have a Verizon LG G2. It was rooted with stump root. I mistakenly did an OTA update recently. Now i am getting the LG logo then fastboot mode started. I did NOT install any custom recovery. I have tried to get into download mode with Volume up and plugging in USB and it goes back to fastboot mode. Ive also brought up the hard reset screen and proceeded to erase all user data and it goes back to fastboot mode. Im using a Dell 64 bit with Windows 8.1. It will not recognise my phone at all. Ive spent 3 days on every site i could find. Ive downloaded every LG Driver + erase all drivers on the Computer. Im not to savy with files and promts etc. I just recently downloaded a UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi. Nothing either. Please help

Hi, I need some help or guides on a problem I just got.
I have a rooted S3 LTE (I9305), which seems to be soft bricked, if I understand what I have read so far. I need to either get it to work again, or at least a way to access files, so I can extract some data from it.
The situation is as follows:
I came home the night between sunday and monday, from a holiday, on which I had used the phone to take a lot of photos. At the point where I entered my car, the phone was working. I used the GPS to take, where I parked my car. Switched off the screen, and drove home.
When I got home, I could see the screen was hanging at the boot logo. So it must have crashed and rebooted it self at one point - don't know when.
Tried to restart 4-5 times, but only got to the boot screen. Pulled the bat. but still the same.
Suddently at one point, I couldn't even get to the logo screen, instead it just shows white and black stripes across the screen.
If I'm lucky I can get into download mode, but only around every 10 time or so.
I managed to keep it in download mode at one point, and through Odin wanted to re-flash my device, but it failed saying it need a pit file.
So this is where I stand now. Is there a way to access the phone from my computer, so I could download the photos taken, or can I flash it without loosing any of the photos and if so how?
if you have a custom recovery installed you could maybe try to plug it in to a PC and mount the USB storage via the menu

Which menu are you thinking about? The PC doesn't recognize the phone, as a device. Can't find it anywhere. And in the download mode, I can't do anything on the phone, or at least it doesn't reacts.
Anyone? I'm a bit lost here

Do you have a custom recovery installed like Clockwork mod or TWRP recovery manager?? If you have you'll be able to access it by switching your phone off then holding power up + home + power until you see the boot animation

Offcause I forgot the phone at Work, so can't test to be sure. But if I recall correctly I have TWRP installed.
But don't think I can get into it. The only compination of buttons that I had success with, was volume down + home + power into the download mode, as I said. But that isn't even all the times I can get into that.
Update:
Yes, as I expected I couldn't start it with volumen up + home + power, all I get is the black and white stripes.
I believe i've royally screwed up and i want to know if there's anything I can do to save my phone.
I downloaded the latest BeyondROM from here after being on a previous version for about a year (not sure which one I was on):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...evelopment-exynos/rom-beyondrom-v6-0-t4017921
I flashed the zip file through TWRP and only after flashing did I realize that I was on TWRP 3.3.1-11 and not 3.4.0-3, which I'm guessing is why my phone is now stuck on the boot logo when I boot it. I went back into TWRP and cleared the Dalvik & standard cache again after this but no dice.
But it gets worse. I then tried to upgrade to 3.4.0-3 by flashing it from TWRP 3.3.1-11 using the recovery partition, hoping to reflash the firmware after doing so.
After doing this and my phone rebooting, not only am I stuck on the boot screen, but now I can no longer enter recovery mode either by holding Bixby + Vol Up + Power. My phone isn't recognized by my PC or Odin now either.
Is my phone completely bricked, or is there a way to salvage this mess i've made?
Could really use some help.
Thanks guys.
If you can go to download mode, try re-flashing the stock Samsung firmware via Odin.

Thanks for the suggestion, however that's my primary issue. I can't get to download mode (which really should be recovery mode since I have TWRP).
Do you think it could be an issue with me rebooting to recovery mode after upgrading TWRP using TWRP itself? Maybe my phone needs to be hard powered off once to access TWRP again?
And since I have that failed ROM install, the only way to power off the phone would be to wait for the battery to drain.
Power+volume down+Brixby goes right into download mode bypassing the recovery

My phone just keeps restarting when Power + vol down are held. Looks like draining the battery didn't help either. I'm stuck on the boot screen even when plugged in with 0% battery. When I remove the USB Cable and hold Vol down + Power, the phone seems to turn off because there's no battery, but immediately after plugging in a power cable, the phone automatically turns on by itself again.
You can try this, but best not to flash anything without charging battery first. You can charge while phone is off:
