Bricked LG G2, Stuck at TWRP, No Download mode!

[joeyll88]

After trying to do the OTA update on my ATT LG G2 this morning it soft bricked my phone into a boot loop with TWRP. After many hours of searching I finally figured out how to enter in the above commands through the TWRP terminal and Voila!!! It rebooted and I have my phone back!!

Hi, I need a saviour. I was running root on the stock 4.4.2 KitKat ROM. I later installed Autorec and TWRP then used TWRP to successfully install CloudyG3 ROM. After rebooting I realized that my files were still present whereas I wanted a clean ROM. Being half awake, rebooted into TWRP and cleaned Dalvik Cache and /system.

On rebooting, the phone is now stuck on LG Logo. It doesn't have the option of getting into download mode. Even when I charge it, it doesn't show the download meter, it goes straight to the LG Logo and the notification light blinks in blue and cyan colours alternately.

How can I get out of this? :'( Frustrated human!

Doesn't work for me on G2 D800, same issue as quoted here...

here's the thread I used:


webtrickz.com/how-to-root-lg-g2-running-lollipop-with-lg-one-click-root/

Also, I am able to get into download mode but not sure if it'll work without the proper firmware file, was on 20k before this, any help will be a godsend.

If you don't mind, how did you enter them? When I go to terminal I'm presented with a list of directories and used the root dir when I entered them with no success.

before trying anything else just type in these commands

What worked for me was from the TWRP terminal command was to type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

then hit enter

type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

then hit enter and reboot.

got help from the IRC xda-devs for the second step to complete the fix.

You're great man! But can you explain what was exactly happned!

I tried for an update on my LG G2 D802 Phone and its now stuck on LG logo screen.
I tried soft reset and also the hard reset but both doesn't seem to work for me. i read the forum and i could see about the TWRP , but i aint sure how to access this TWRP command window. If some one could help me fix my phone , that would be greatly appreciated.

My phone was running on kitkat 4.4.2 version, one bad day i connected my phone to my laptop and user lg life tool and it showed me that i have updates available. i did the update and it showed me that the update was successful. And thats it ! it never turned on and its stuck on LG logo screen. And now i am not sure what should be done. :''(

In Recovery, Advanced, select command terminal, then hit 'select' at bottom window
type the following:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

then 'GO'

(ignore memory space problems, you only have to see some in and out writes)

type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

then 'GO'

(ignore memory space problems, you only have to see some in and out writes)

back out to the main recovery screen, and reboot.

What you are doing is zero'ing out some locations that are messed up (fota and misc)

Thanks OP for saving my bacon ! Dylan

HOLY CRAP IT WORKED!

I'm a complete noob at this so let me address two things that I got stumped on that will hopefully help others out:

1.) Although the instructions tell you to type the two lines of code at first it looks like there's nowhere to type it in. What you have to do is find the root folder through what looks like a file explorer interface. Find your root folder and it should be blank. Tap the row under "Up A Level" and you will see a row highlight briefly. After you tap the row, click select on the bottom right to start inputting your code. DOUBLE CHECK your code, and if you are a newbie like me TRIPLE CHECK it.

2.) I thought that this was an error message because it said "No space left on device". This is completely normal, just continue to changing fota at the end to misc and click go again. Afterwards, just exit, go back to the main menu and then reboot to system!

dd: writing '/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota': No space left on device
65537+0 records in
65536+0 records out

33554432 bytes (32.0MB) copied.
2.280673 seconds, 14.0 MB/s
​

3.) When you make your backup (and you should always as a precautionary step), if for some reason it says there is no space you can:

a.) Go to MOUNT in the menu you can
b.) Click on Storage:Internal Storage (should also indicate the amount of storage in MBs)
c.) Click Internal Storage (should indicate amount of free space)
d.) Click OK
e.) Now you're ready to make backups if you had an error regarding having no space to create a backup file.

It worked for me like 1 year ago. Thank you very much!!!!

 

[s-hagmann]

the programming via the twrp terminal window sounds promising- excerpt that the 2 lines circulating in the web don't seem to work.
isn't there any other option for direct programm access to the code instead of grounding a capacitor?

 

[creepzpin]

Hi,

I tried to type it in terminal command but still it didn't work. I typed the first one then no "enter" button. I just click the "go" button then typed the second one and no "reboot" button. I just go back and manually reboot. When I reboot, it stucked on LG Logo with Security Error. Help!:'(
