[Q] Soft bricked D801 unrecognized - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone I'm quite new to android, and I'm currently stuck in Download Mode after trying and failing to install Twrp
I was previously Rooted, tried to install Twrp via Autorec, however when I ran the app it soft-bricked my phone and put me into Fastboot mode.
I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2476972 method, and got back to Download Mode.
I am currently in the middle of returning to stock through http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2432476 using the .TOT method.
I'm fairly close to repairing it but my only issue is that I cannot get my computer to recognize my phone. Neither in Device management nor adb devices anymore.
Therefore I cannot change the port to COM 41 to flash the .TOT file.
I constantly tried installing drivers for the phone both 3.10 and 3.08 but still no recognition can anybody help?
Some more info about the phone:
it's the D801 variant but its on Wind (Canada) not T-mobile
it was previously Rooted
it did not have any recovery software installed
no roms had been flashed previously.

Try to restore your phone using the official LGMobile Support Tool. Just switch on normally the phone, plug it to your PC and wait for your kdz to be downloaded. Once it done, it should install the kdz by itself. Then factory reset your phone (if needed) as it should ask you some pin/password.
Hope it'll help you as it did for me!

Bricked G2 - Fastboot only/No download mode (Beer money for anyone who can help)!!!!

Hi Guys,
I brought my LG G2 D802 32GB last week and I believe it's possibly hard bricked if not soft bricked so let me start by saying that anyone who can help me get my brand new G2 working will be receiving some beer money!
I've owned over 15 android devices over the years and i'd say i'm a competent flasher but I've never had such a problem flashing any of those devices as I have on the G2!
So here's what I did:
1) Updated Phone to 4.4.2 and rotted using IOroot method (Root was successful)
2) Install LG USB Drivers
3) Flashed CWM 6.0.4.4 (Flashed successful and CWM was working fine with Root access on ROM)
I then decided to put TWRP as the recovery because after much research it seemed to be the most popular choice.
4) Downloaded D802_AutoRec.apk (I believe this was the correct recovery for my device)??
here's what happened:
After using AutoRec to flash TWRP recovery I rebooted and the phone displayed:
450 Fastboot mode started
500 udc_started()
Plugging in the USB cable then adds the following lines:
660 -reset-
670 -portchange-
740 fastboot; processing commands
Note that Download mode WAS available at this point.
I then tried flashing CWM recovery again through fastboot which showed as successful but still stuck in fastboot after rebooting. The same happened for TWRP.
I then went to the LG website, put in my IMEI number and downloaded the stock ROM (D80220C_00). I used the G2 extractor to extract the kdz to a DZ file then extracted the aboot/boot & laf.img. Since I did this I have lost download mode!
It's interesting to note that fastboot shows attached device as:
? fastboot
and ADB shows no attached devices.
I'm not sure this is relevant as I still seem to be able to push commands to the phone through fastboot?
I then tried to flash the stock ROM (D80220C_00) using LG Flash Tool however it gets to 27% and says "cannot connect to the phone
So as it stands at the moment all I have is the option to flash using fastboot, I have no download mode, no recovery or no working ROM. Have I completely bricked my phone or is there anything else I can try to get the stock ROM back on there?
Any help is massively appreciated!
Hello!
Try this, I hope it helps!

Did you try Tot method? What happens when you plug your phone to pc? Does adb recognize your device?

How can i try tot method without going to download mode ? as i said phone only have stock recovery , Yes there is an option in stock recovery "Apply update from ADB" by selecting that i can run adb sideload commands. And i can flash any zip rom from that option . I tried several rom's using this option but installation aborted in middle .
Does device manager in Windows recognize your device? In Tot method you do port settings to flash kdz. Also you can give it a try for LG pc suite.

[SOLVED] [Q] [HELP] Stuck in Download MODE

My LG G2 d802 is stuck in the download mode and has no recovery. It happened when i flashed Miui 6 by gtbluesky after full wipe of data and system. Previously it was on cloudy 3.2 . After flashing the miui it wont boot and is in a bootloop on mi bootscreen. I tried but cannot boot into recovery seems like it doesnt have a recovery.
However, I can boot into download mode but it is not recognised in ADB nor Lg flash tool. I tried flashing kdz with the lg flash tool but it wont detect the device. I tried installing various drivers to the pc and also tried two different pc with windows 7. However, adb wont detect the device.
Regarding the drivers, the windows installs all the drivers but fails to install the LGE Androidnet usb modem drivers. If i manually try to install it from the lg drivers, it would keep installing and returns an error of timeout period expired.
So, i am stuck in the download mode with a bricked device.
If Someone could help me with this problem, i'll be much obliged. Thanks
SOLVED
[SOLVED] I downloaded the .tot file for my phone and extracted .dll from one of the .kdz & flashed it using the lg flash tool . It flashed good and now my g2 is up and running. :good:

Bricked LG G2, download mode goes on, but not working

Hello
I'm new here, I've been modding my lg a few times, always when bricked, kdz or tot files were saving me.
But now I've got real problem.
I was changing ROM from Cyanogen 13 to Cloudy 3.3. I thought I just need to flash rom via recovery (2.8.7.3 bump blastagator). Flashed fine, without any troubles, but when it came to reboot, phone just got stuck on LGs logo.
I knew i f*ed up.
Recovery isn't working, but Download Mode is turning on normally, at least it seems to.
So i tried to flash KDZ, but LG Flash Tool immedently shuts down giving "lg user...." error (don't remember what exacly it was saying).
Then i tried via tot files. But after installing drivers from tutorials, device isn't showed as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port", but as few positions like MTP device or usb serial port(but not in Com ports) and all are marked as devices without drivers. Flash tool for tot also didn't worked here, because it did't found device.
What can i do now? Please help me.
[Edit]
So now, using different drivers somehow Jelly Bean installed by tot method (device didn't appeared as tutorial said, but it worked) phone is booting normally, but i can't again install lollipop with kdz files.
I was trying 3 different drivers, every giving instant error of flash tool.
What can I do now?
[EDIT2] LGUSERCSTool.exe is crashing. How can I install lollipop now?
Are there tot files for lollipop?

Restored KK ROM over LP Bootstack - Only Download mode :( Please help!

Hi Guys,
I stupidly restored a KK ROM over Nougat ROM without flashing the KK baseband back. As a result I get secure booting error. I now only have download mode only, No recovery. I can't connect via ADB to flash recovery as my Device manager shows that "LGE Android MTP Device" cannot start. I've installed the latest LG drivers. If I run adb devices then no devices are listed. Am I missing something as to why download mode doesn't find my phone?
I still have download mode so do I need to re-flash TOT file and if so which firmware is it? I have a D802 32GB but no idea if its SEA variant or what! Does the Firmware matter so long as it's any 32GB image? I'm worried that if I flash the wrong firmware it's truly hard bricked!
Please help....
Cheers
Ryan

You can't run adb commands if your phone's in download mode so I wouldn't worry about that. As for the variants, any one of the d802 kdz's will work but if you flash a different one you might have issues with 4g connectivity. The box your phone came in should say which region it is, maybe you just need the open eur one from this list http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/Lollipop/32GB/

Thank you. I've now been able to flash the correct TOT and rooted and installed nougat ROM. The problem I've got now is that the phone is stuck in TWRP. I've flashed new ROM and recovery again but no matter what I do it just keeps booting into recovery. Any idea how to fix?
Thanks for your help
