[Q] Phone Problems (Bricked*) Things I've Tried... SCREENSHOTS included - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am having a hell of a time with my phone (VS980). The only changes I have done are root the phone and the hotspot mod. I did both of these about a year ago. After the hot spot mod I have not been able to update the phone, OTAs fail, but other than that the phone has worked fine. Yesterday morning the phone froze and restarted itself. Now it just stays on the LG screen not matter what I do. I have tried to do a factory data reset by holding down the - volume and the power button and once again when the LG screen pops up but it either freezes or I get the android with a red exclamation point. I am able to access the download mode but both the TOT and KDZ method do not work. Attached are the screenshots for the problems that I am having with the factory data reset, TOT method, and KDZ method. I am not sure where to go from here... I would appreciate any advice you guys may have.

The factory data reset finally worked on the phone. I start going through the initial setup and it freezes and restarts back to the LG screen...and then I'm back to square one of not being able to get off the LG start screen. I have tried the factory data reset a few times now and each time I can get to a different point of the initial setup but it eventually freezes. One time I was able to get to the android home screen but then it froze. This phone is driving me crazy.

Driver wise I have tried the LG Verizon United Driver, I have a problem where it fails to install the LGE AndroidNet for VZW USB Modem. I uninstalled the LG united driver and then tried the ADB installer and received the following error which you can see in the attached images.

Hey buddy, are you using this flashtool? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190

I was finally able to get the TOT method working by using my laptop instead of my desktop. My desktop OS is Windows 7 -64bit and my laptop is Windows 8.1 -64bit.
I went through the initial setup process for android but I did not enter in my Google information. I didn't enter my Google information so that my backup apps would not sync with my phone. I wanted to leave the phone as stock as possible to see if it had anymore freezing and restarting issues.
Well, within about 10 minutes the phone started freezing and restarting again; to the point where it was not able to get past the LG screen... Now I am not able to get past the LG screen at all. The phone is completely stock now, it's not rooted and its running VS98010B so I don't think it is a software issue anymore.
I put the phone in a zip lock bag and put it in between two cold packs. I waited about 15 minutes and powered it up again. It booted straight to the android homepage with no problem. The damn phone is overheating... As long as I have it on an ice pack it works fine but once I take it off it starts to freeze and reboot with 5 to 10 minutes. I would take the phone back to Verizon but I am outside of the 1 year warranty now by 1 month haha what a coincidence
I have never had as many problems with any other smartphone, when it comes to troubleshooting, as I've had with the LG G2. I miss my Galaxy Nexus:crying:.. Damn you Verizon! Bring back the Nexus line!

unable to enter recovery mode..stuck at lg logo

My wife killed her phone. She had romboons 30 installed with dorimanx 4.2 kernel and blastagators twrp 2.8.7.1
She then started installing other roms and now the phone is stuck at lg logo bootloop. I tried every button combination to get into recovery but notting
Tried download mode but it says rooted and freezes.
I am running linux lite 2.4 and am not that experienced at it.
My wife knows that its her own fault that the phone doesnt work anymore but is there a way to get it back to life again?
Thanks a lot for your help
Edit: Been trying to get into recovery mode for the past 3 hours. tried all combinations but notting. I only am able to get into a screen for hardware buttons. Download mode doesnt work either. phone is detected by linux when i hook it up.
I think the wife finally completely killed the poor phone It does not want to go into recovery
Well will mean that i will have to learn how to live without a phone cause she already took mine as replacement.
I have been able to get into recovery after several hours and installed new rom. So this can be closed and if you want even be deleted

GT-I9505 unable to boot; freezes constantly in Download Mode; can't flash anything

Hello,
my Galaxy S4 got soft bricked recently and I am looking for a solution for 5 days now and now I decided to ask you guys for help since I can't find anyone with the same problem.
I had Albe95 LolliROM 9.0 (15/05/16) [HPA1] flashed on my phone for about 3 weeks and everything was perfect.
I was using my phone when it suddenly restarted itself and it got stuck in a bootloop (SAMSUNG animation). After many attempts I could boot into recovery (TWRP) but it would freeze there and I had to remove the battery...
I could also boot into Download Mode so I decided to flash a stock rom (I9505XXUHOJ2_I9505OXAHOJ2_I9505XXUHOJ2_HOME.tar) which I downloaded from Sammobile. Odin would always stuck at system.img.ext4 but again after many attempts it workted and I had success. When it was booting my phone froze at "optimizing apps". So I had to turn it off and restart again, but this time the phone was always freezing at the first samsung logo and wouldn't go further.
I can still go into Download mode but can't flash anything because eather Odin fails (complete(write) operation failed) or my phone freezes. Sometimes when I boot my phone into Download Mode the screen would do strange things like flickering and weird colors would show in DL Mode.
So my problem:
- booting into Download mode after works though it freezes sometimes
- can't flash roms because phone is freezing all the time
The model # in download mode is 9505? Was the phone ever dropped? You're using the original Samsung USB cable to flash?

Thanks for the reply.
-yes modelnr is 9505.
-i have not dropped my phone recently. I mean its over 3 years old so of course I've dropped it but never really bad and it has no scratches or anything.
-I've tried different cables and samsung cable was one of them.
I also tried all ports of my laptop even tried another pc
Maybe flash the stock rom with a pit file?

I didn't try this pit file thing because I don't understand the meaning of it exactly..
But after many many Odin flash attempts I got a success with a stock rom 5.0.1.
I think I figured out what the problem is but I can't really tell why it's happening (Hardware broken maybe, but which one?)
So after the flashing the stock rom successfully the phone restarted and started the first boot but it froze during the samsung animation again...
I thought maybe if I try a lot of times eventually it will work, so I tried and tried and it always got stuck at samsung animation. (before every boot I had to remove the battery and wait ca 10 sec because otherwise the phone would not start booting at all)
I did not come further than the samsung animation so I removed the battery and placed the phone (I almost gave up).
But after one hour I tried again and this time it passed the samsung animation and got to the Optimization part of the apps. aaaaand it froze there again.
I thought maybe if I wait again for 1 hour I can pass the optimization part. So I did and it really worked. I got to the startscreen.
So the current problem is:
- The phone boots and makes it to the homescreen and freezes after ca 10 seconds. And also I have to wait for about half an hour or one hour to get that far. If I try again right after the freezing I can't get passed the Samsung logo.
What could cause this freezing? Maybe the cpu has to "cool down" in the one hour of waiting and freezes because it gets to hot? I really don't know what it could be.
Something on the motherboard, likely either CPU, EMMC chip, or GPU, is failing. Why or how I don't know, but I'd have a tech look at it.

Before trying anything, simply put the phone in a freezer for 1 hour, then try to put the phone in download mode.

LG G2 D801 Bootloop after flash/reboot

Hello,
I'm currently experiencing a bootloop on my phone, it gets to the resurrection remix logo screen during boot then restarts. I've tried booting into recovery and download mode. When I try to boot into recovery it loads the factory reset screen as usual but when I say yes to the reset in order to launch TWRP it just goes to the LG logo, then remix and restarts all over. I got into download mode one time since this started but since then I've made countless attempts to boot into it again and can't.
What I was doing right before this happened is, I recently completely wiped my phone, flashed stock firmware, wiped, then installed resurrection remix. Everything was going perfect, it started no problem, I went through and cleaned up some apps I didn't want etc normal setup steps then I used the power menu to boot into recovery instead of just using the hardware keys and the bootloop started.
Besides the not booting, the other major issue here is that it never stays connected to the pc via adb long enough to do any actions or flash a single file. By the time the pc sees it and adb sees it, I have roughly 2 seconds before it restarts again.
I really really really need any help I can get please ASAP as this is my mom's phone and she needs it for work in 4 hours. This issue started about four hours ago and I've been trying to fix it ever since. I feel like I have looked everywhere on here and through google but probably missed the solution. Before you ask, I'm 28 not a teenager and work in IT as a career for the last 12 years so don't get the wrong impression. She asked me to work on it because I had set it up a few months back with a lollipop version of resurrection remix and magisk, but in the last month or so she was having really poor performance and issues with settings crashing and a few other apps.
I hope you don't need any more info from me, if you do however I'll be here trying to fix it until she goes to work at least. I really could use the help and would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You

D802 Android 4.4.2 with Kernel Error stuck in Bootloop

Hi guys,
hopefully you can help me or link me to a thread with some help.
After 5 years my g2 broke down last week. I had the official Android 4.4.2 and have never flashed anything. Don't know if it has anything to do with it but i didn't have any free storage left of my 16gb (european version, so i gueass D802). The days and weeks before it warned me that i used all the storage and some apps won't work properly ( I didn't care because I ran without problems for month)
My phone broke down and now I am stuck in the boot loop. When I disconnect the battery on the back and then connect it again and plug it in my laptop the LG Logo will appear and the phone will charge. No Problem there, I still have battery left. When I try to turn it on the LG Logo will appear and then the display turns black, you know how this goes.
I can not enter the recovery mode nor the download mode. My Laptop wont recognize my phone on the device manager or somewhere else. What my laptop does, is that the typical windows sound comes when I plug the G2 in and then after some seconds the sound comes again when the phone turns black.
Then I got a error message:
Kernel Crash! DemiGod Crash Handler : Kernel Crash!
From there I did not reboot successfully. How can I get a Kernel Crash with the normal Android Software? weird.
All I care about are my pictures left on the phone. I was dumb enough to not make a backup. Do you know a way to save my pictures? Can I somehow exchange the storage chip?
Please help me.
