[Q] [SOLVED] LG L7 Soft-bricked recovery? - Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello XDA (I'm new here)!
I'm having a very difficult problem (For me atleast), but i will begin at the start:
When i bought my LG, my proximity sensor was corrupt. Every call i started, my phone immeadietly locked the screen.
So a few weeks ago, I flashed the KDZ from homero (P700 V10K+Root+CWM etc..). After that I was able to flash CM10 to my phone.
But this is where the problem starts, I wanted to fix the proximity sensor bug, so i added the following line to my build.prop:
"gsm.proximity.enable=false".
I did it like this:
adb pull /system/build.prop C:/ *Pulled my build.prop*
adb root *made sure i was having root access*
adb remount *to access the /system/*
adb push C:/build.prop /system/ *and it succesfully copied*
adb pull /system/build.prop C:/test.prop *to check if everything changed succesfully*
Then i rebooted my phone, and now it's bricked(Can't boot CWM, Can't boot CM10, can only boot to Emergency Mode, no ADB). Because it was such a small change, I don't have any backups, which is really frustrating. I have very, very important data on my phone, so I need to recover some files.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? Please don't suggest anything related to ADB, cause even ADB won't find the device.
Thanks so much for reading, hope you understand my problem and want to help me.
(I'm sorry for my very bad English)
EDIT:
The solution:
- First of all remove your battery,
- Then press and hold the vol- key + power
- When the lights turn on, press the menu key.
- Release the power key when your lg vibrates
- Your in CWM
- Use a custom update script, there are plenty out there, to push your original build.prop.
- Reboot & everything's fine.:victory:

Just tried to use the (Homero v10k) KDZ, but when i use the KDZ_Updater, will i lose my data ? (When going from cm10 > v10k?).
KDZ_Updater crashes, but if anybody knows, I can try again.
Please help me, I really need some data on there.

Got KDZ_Updater to work, currently it's busy... I will edit this post, if it's back alive again, hopefully it will help other people with the same problem
EDIT:
Okaayy... KDZ Updater finished, phone still dead. It stays about an hour at the LG Logo (The animated one, so it's booting Android), can't manage to get to CWM.
Is it possible something in Homero's KDZ isn't right? I try to boot into CWM using the vol-+ buttons and the power button. After LG logo, i release the power button, still no result...
Could anybody, please, please help me? I can't live a day without my phone... (I don't care about the data anymore, almost everybody knows it, so it's alright... )

Bricked LG G2 PLEASE HELP

I need help from you guys. I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2673736. The moment my phone stopped to work is when I wiped system,cache,dalvik and data and Installed the rom on step 6.(4.4.2 kitkat). First what I got was the white letters saying fastboot mode started and udc_start(). That was all I got. After that I tried fixing my problems with factory reset which caused more problems then
I thought. What I have now is a phone without anything working on it. I can't acess my recovery because when I try it says factory reset(yes/no). When I click yes nothing happens and it just sends me back to screen now without udc_start(). Now I only have fastboot mode started without anything. I also tried holding the volume up key and going through the download mode and fixing it like that but when I try it it starts that little download mode and it just quits and sends me back to a page with a white text where I can't do anything. If someone could be so kind and help me fix my phone. Please help. I've did a factory reset using adb in recovery like this adb shell
recovery --wipe_data
device is : LG G2 d802
Solved with help
Many thanks to @bender_007 for his amazing help with laf.
So basicly what bender helped me is with getting the download mode to work and I found my way after that even though the download mode was stuck I still managed to do it
Okay so I'll explain step by step how I fixed it.
1. First thing to do is get this awesome files provided by @bender_007 Download:https://www.dropbox.com/s/ad1c592k3h3a1d1/paket.zip and to connect your phone on usb to be connected with your pc. After that you want to get your phone in fastboot and if you have the same issue just turn on the phone and it will get you there. After that extract the file provided by bender_007 and start the file called RUN THIS.bat. It will do all the work for you or basicly it will delete your current laf file and replace it with working one.
2. After doing all that you want to restart your phone with holding the power key and when it starts to boot(LG SCREEN) hold volume up. In the centre of the screen there will be a icon displayed with loading. Well my never loaded but it doesn't matter. It is the same if it loads or not.
3. Third step might me the longest depending on you. If you do have the R&D test tool it will be easy. Now you just want to get back to stock so you just need to follow this instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476. The instructions are very detailed and it will be easy to follow. It will take some time to finish and it will restart automatically. After that your phone will boot up and start . I hope this will help someone and I'm so glad @bender_007 helped me with laf filed. Many thanks. I'm not responsible for anything I'm just trying to help and it worked on my phone LG G2 d802
Also thanks @hyelton for providing files such as stock,R&D test tool and many other usefull things
The package is only for d802 though. :good:

[Q] Hard bricked G2 after flash

Hi everyone
I may have bricked my G2. I use to have a Samsung Galaxy S which I flashed many times so I kinda know when I mess up with instructions. This time though, things look a bit more serious... Anyway, here is what happened:
I flashed the Cloudy G3 rom (1.0) for my G2 D802 32gb. Original rom was stock rooted 4.4.
I followed the instructions :
- Backup rom
- All wipes
- Flash kitkat baseband
- Flash rom zip
- Get through the aroma installer steps
But then, when it asked to reboot, the phone just shut down.
Now it won't turn on. All I have is a quick look at the LG boot logo, and then the screen goes all black (blacklit is still on) again.
All I managed to do so far is maintaining the LG boot logo a bit longer on screen by alternatively pressing volume + or - at random times.
I can't access recovery or download mode anymore.
Plugging the phone will only show the LG boot logo and do all the same.
The phone is no longer recognized by my computer.
When I plug it, I get 13 new windows asking me to format the device and one I can explore.
Inside, there is one folder named "Image", filled with 51,4 Mb of files...
Quite confusing.
I don't know what to do, so any help to get the phone back to work will be appreciated
Thank you in advance.

At least I'm not alone :laugh:
I found this thread but haven't tried yet. Don't know if the problem is similar.
I really hope the phone isn't dead, it's almost brand new
This is exactly what I have . The main problem is we can not see phone partitions. Always the alarm "can not access " or "format" !Waiting for some body to help restaure our LG G2.

Are you still under warranty. If you can't get into download mode that means that LG won't be able to either. You could process a return directly from LG.
Problem solved ...
Somehow I did manage to hard reset (vol - & power, wait for LG logo, release and then press vol - & power again) and then access recovery mode, so I did restore my backup (which had been renamed to ... 1970-05-01 ! lol) and my G2 is now back to life.
Weirdest thing ever... Kinda worried about flashing it again now !
Thing to remember : always have a backup file.
You are lucky man! I've done it but nothing after. I can access to hard reset but when I push power button the screen goes black as before ....
Is it actually in "Download Mode"?

So, if my G2 shows "Download Mode" on the screen with the little white dots, but it's not recognized by Windows 7, Ubuntu, or Knoppix, and is for all intents and purposes, non-responsive, does anyone know if it's actually in "Download Mode"?

[Urgent Help Required!] Phone boots, but no download mode or recovery!

Hi,
Have a weird situation, but try as much as I may, I'm unable to resolve it.
My phone is rooted (international D802) and was running fine. Had a screen issue and got it replaced at the service center but their system identified my phone as a rooted device, and a couple of days later the problems started.
The issues I'm facing right now:
1. The phone doesn't charge when switched on, at all.
2. The phone doesn't reboot either.. not instantly anyways. If powered off, or rebooted, the phone doesn't turn back on, it just goes dead. It does boot again though if tried after a couple of hrs.
3. The phone charges when its off (shows no light or indicator though, like its bricked)
4. Cannot go into either recovery or download mode. Coz the phone doesn't boot when restarted or when i try to reboot into recovery.
5. When it does magically start after a few hrs (upon long pressing the power button), even if I try to go into download or recovery via the vol keys, it just boots to android.
6. The phone is recognized properly as LG G2 under windows and all the drivers install too.
7. The phone isn't recognized under Linux... tried both Ubuntu and Knoppix.
Travelling out of the country in a few days, really need to sort this out.
Any and all help/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Somebody... Anybody? :'(
When your phone rebooted I would recommend you firstly to activate USB Debugging in the developer settings. You said your device is rooted? So try to install the Auto Rec recovery here
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13763 - but make sure you are on Kitkat. Now, install the app normal and let the app install all things. After installation, the app asks you to reboot to recovery, now press reboot to recovery.
Maybe you have luck and the phone reboots to TWRP. In TWRP you can go to Reboot and then Reboot to Download mode.
Now (if all worked) you can flash the stock rom .kdz file of the d802 via the FlashTool 2014.
Hope you have luck, please keep me up to date if everything worked.
Yours, Flo
Good luck!!
Thanks a lot for the response Flo, but the problem is that i never got around to updating to a Kitkat rom... the rom i was never got updated and I was kinda happy with how things were working so didn't jump on to any other rom.
Anything I can do in my current situation?

OP2 Powers ON Automatically into Recovery

Hello Fellows,
First I'd like to explain my situation in details.
my phone fell while i was walking on the street and it got some dirt on it, so ( foolishly ) I decided to clean it.... and yeah... i washed my phone like washing a dish... i like rinsed the phone in water and in other cleaning liquids for no more than 3 seconds it was all quick thingy... anyway after washing it.... i directly powered it ON and it powered but the screen was OFF ( so i decided to power it OFF, solder it and to remove any clues of water inside on the board or something... after that i used a hairdryer ( which is not recommended ) but i used it at a descent distance so that no harm would be caused to the board... as i was only subjecting air to let water if any existed to dry..
i put the phone in rise and kept it for 1 day... after 1 day i wanted to check out how stuff went.. so i powered it ON and the screen actually turned ON and the vibrator, even the hardware back-light lighted up perfectly but here's the problem I'm facing.
the phone only boots into TWRP 3.1.0.0 no matter what i do.. things i tried:
1- flashed some ROM, through TWRP
2- used "Fixed Contexts" in TWRP
3- Repair File System "System partition" through TWRP
4- used file manager inside TWRP and checked if the internal storage is working and indeed i can show all my files, through TWRP
5- also used the file manager to access "System" Partition and everything was there, through TWRP
6- change File System into EXT4 "System partition" through TWRP
7- Resize File System "System partition" through TWRP
8- Wiping all Partitions "Excluding the internal storage"
and NON WORKED..
note that whenever i attempt to flash a ROM the result shows successful with no errors ..
so whats the problem in here?
i have a guess but i need help in order to apply it.. i think the VOL- is pressed and stuck somehow Electrically on the board ( but no physically as i can press the volume down and hear its tap or whatever you call it.. i even managed to boot into fast-boot and it worked.
is there anyway i can disable the vol- button temporary to see if its causing the problem?
the only thing is i cant see my ROM booting... not even the boot animation showing... just the boot-loader and automatically it goes into the recovery
also i have kernel log attached below followed by the recovery log
EDIT: i also forgot to mention that my PC recognize the phone and i have access to my internal storage.. no problems with transfer speed as well
after tons of attempts and searching online and flashing stuff and blablabla... (i flashed every recovery image op2 support )
FINALLY
I found the solution my self, and everything is back to normal...
the phone was stuck at the early stage of the booting process and maybe couldn't find the boot image in order to boot up the android OS, so all i did was i plugged in the phone into the PC, i started everything in fastboot mode on phone and on PC then i just sent the following command to my phone.
Code:
fastboot continue
fastboot then(meaning after the command) wasnt able to recognize the phone anymore so i knew that its now trying to search for partitions other than recovery.. i waited like 10 seconds and booom it booted into the best ROM i've ever used ( and actually missed ) which is Official RR from our great maintainer "nicesoni_ash"
P.S: the vol- as i said was really stuck and i noticed it not working while on RR ROM, so i just clicked it many times and tried mixing vol+ with vol- .. after many many attempts vol- worked and i then rebooted to make sure if everything is back to normal and no recovery auto boots and indeed it smoothly booted up :laugh:
thanks a lot for all who tried to help out in here or on oneplus forums :highfive:

Did you try reverting to stock ?
Try getting files from here..
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/rom-mirrors-official-oxygen-os-roms-ota-t3209863
I would consider it as bricked, after all attempts failed and go with the unbrick guide here on xda or oneplus forums, maybe this way it can be ressurected.
You probably have already backed up your data..
Damn, that hurts..

hello bro, i updated a magisk module v4android and when i reboot, it boots up in twrp. and since then it keeps booting into twrp. So, i used fastboot continue and when it boot int the home i deleted that module.
but fastboot continue only works once. After that if i switch-off and switch-on the phone, it goes into twrp. it needs fastboot continue everytime.
please provide me a permanent solution. few other users are facing this too. plz reply i'm waiting.
Hey,
with the help of some others in a Discord server (thanks @thesanjayp#6251 on discord) i managed to find the issue. Appearantly there was a change in /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc for some reason. There was a similar problem on the old LG Optimus G Pro which i owned, so i remembered this.
As I'm not sure if we can just wipe the partition or not, i got a working misc.img attached.
In any terminal (adb shell, twrp terminal or an terminal app in a rom) make sure you have su rights, and then execute the following command:
Code:
dd if=/path/to/misc.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc
Make sure to adapt the path to the misc.img though to the location you saved it to.
The misc.img I used is attached to this post.
PS: Im not responsible for any broken phones if this didnt work for you.

LG G6 stucked in bootloop

Hi, guys, i'm new here. I start excusing me of my terrible English. Thanks in advance for the support.
Yesterday i was trying to root my LG G6 truth TWRP and magisk... after i've unlocked the bootloader, installed adb/fastboot and flashed the twrp i made a BIG Mmistake.
I don't know exactly what i did in the twrp menu, i'm sure that i made a great mess in "wipe" and "mount" section (my aim was to mount 2 zip file in the "install" section). At a certain point afters something that i've made the log has stopped to proceed and the phone doesn't answer to any command. I let the phone locked in the log screen of an istallation for some houre since the battery was dead.
Now when i plug the device into the computer, or into some power plug or if i's simply unplugged it continue to reboot, every time the G6 show's to me the following message:" Your device software can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader", after a while the classic LG's logo window appear and the phone remain stucked in here, after a while automatically shutdown and reboot with the same loop: error message, lg logo. The phone doesn't answer to any command and it's impossibile to have access at the recovery mode, at the factory data reset shortcut and apparrantley also at the download mode. The only thing that have some effect is to press power & Volume down but it simply shutdown the device and the loop restart.
I desperately need a help... or better, a solution. Thank you anyway.
Search for how to flash stock KDZ firmware with LGUP, but be prepared for the worst if you have indeed bricked it.
Make sure you read all the instructions before you start, don't hurry or skip through it as you can still make it worse.
