[Q] D802 hard bricked after wiping & flashing TWRP, no recovery, stuck in boot loop
TL;DR: Wanted to install CM12.1, wiped everything except Internal Storage from TWRP, flashed new version of TWRP (3.0.0-0), hard bricked my D802 (stuck in LG logo, can't get into recovery mode)
ISSUE: My LG G2 is stuck in a boot loop. Only the LG logo is displayed and when I try to turn off the phone by holding down the power button, it will blank out for a few seconds and then display the LG logo again. I tried accessing recovery mode via the hardware buttons and it takes me to the factory reset screen, and after I do press the power button twice it just takes me to a blank screen. I can get the phone into download mode, although my Windows machine doesn't recognize the phone even though its drivers are installed.
I am currently trying this guide. Although I'm not sure what KDZ/TOT to download for my phone :/
All the important files on my phone like photos and contacts are stored in the cloud so I can basically reset the phone to its factory state, if it comes to that.
If someone could help me with a guide or anything that can lead me into the right steps for fixing the phone, I would be really thankful.

Then I don't think what just happened with me is a coincidence, hmmmmmm
Does't anybody have an idea for a solution other than using KDZ? something like flashing the bootstack or recovery through PC?

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEY
I just got something:
So after using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/tools-srk-tool-useful-toos-lg-root-twrp-t3079076
I got my phone to boot to recovery, I used Unbrick to get my phone working again, now the only thing left is to get phone to actually boot to ROM
Anybody got a solution? Should I just reflash the ROM?
Update 2: I re-flashed the ROM, wiped cache and fixed permissions, still waiting for it to boot, I don't know, I think you're better off just backing up the ROM, clean install and then restore apps using TB from the nandroid backup
Final update: yup, clean flash it is
I hope this has helped

Hi all,
I have an issue with my D802 int LG G2.
I attempted to flash the 4.4 update from this thread via CMW recovery however part way through the install, the phone turned off and tried to restart.
As a result, the phone now only shows the LG logo and the LED changes colour constantly.
I cannot seem to get it to boot into a recovery mode, nor download mode..
Any ideas? I've had a search around but there doesn't seem to be too much help..
FYI, I can access the 'hard reset' menu by holding Vol - and power twice on boot, but that seems about it.
Looks like i've managed to resolve the problem - Get to the hard reset screen and opt to reset it to then go back to the custom recovery. Simply restoring my old backup worked.
guys yesterday i started to flash the smartphone because i was fed up with the stock rom, after a bit of advice i opted for the clougy g3! starting by rootting the phone and install a recovery (which, however, could start only by phone on) I installed this rom which at first look is great for customization and style and also for speed.
today after making a backup of data of the phone whit titan backup fails to come into the gallery and do not make me choose the settings how to change the soft keys of the home, in both cases, says it has stopped working or something like that so I decided to do a soft reset by wipe date cache and devil in recovery and reboot the phone that it stops on the lg logo and does not go forward! Now I no longer get into recovery because I cant do that by turned off phone and then I'm stuck at the lg logo and I do not know what to do!
looking on the internet I read that to get into recovery I have to hold the power button + down button longer until you will see lg logo and then release them and push again, but doing so takes me to a wild white screen "hard factory reset" plz help fast
The hard reset screen is correct, it won't actually reset the phone but it will send you into recovery. Get to that screen and press the power button a few times to go through it and it should take you into TWRP

I can't get into the recovery mode with any method, only download mode. I tried to flash another versions, it completed but the same problem ...
Also, when i enter into download mode written down in a frame rooted in red, but i flash a stock ROM in "Flash CSE" mode... can be recovery mode screwed? And that's why the device does not work?

Using the flash tool will take your phone completely back to it's original factory state and that includes the recovery. If you get stuck in a bootloop after using this method, you should be able to fix it by performing a hard factory reset.
When the device is powered down hold the volume down button. While pressing volume down press the power button. After the device kicks on release both buttons. As soon as the LG logo appears press the power button a second time. It's a little tricky at first but if you have done it correctly it should go into a white screen asking you if you would like to perform a factory reset. Go ahead and reset the phone.
This should fix your problem and boot you up into a fresh install.
I tried this but it dose not work, I can't get into the recovery mode. the g2 stuck LG logo....
Hi everyone,
After trying to flash the resurrection remix rom on my LG G2 D805, i got stuck on the logo, with no recovery mode, and on download mode it says "USER B3" or "USER B4" and rooted, and when i try to flash the kdz file it says "upgrade stopped due to an error". Also, the phone if not on download mode is not recognized by windows, and on download mode, on device manager, its recognized as "USB composite device". Furthermore, I don't know if this have anything to do with the issue, but on the same day i tried to flash the rom, in the morning the phone was REALLY hot, even burning my hands, and not turning on, so i left it cool down and then it was working properly when i decided to flash the rom... Do you guys think there is any way to get my phone back working?:crying:
Thank you all for your time!
Are you positive you cannot enter recover. Try this. Hold the power button for 30 sec. Then hold volume down and the power button simultaneously until you see the lg logo. When you see the logo quickly let go of the buttons and reclick them immediately. It should go to factory reset screen. From there continue and you should boot into twrp.

Nope, doesn't work. The phone just keeps rebooting and after pressing both buttons gets stuck on the logo, or just turn the screen off and start blinking a red led...
what g2 model do you have? if you are in the screen of user b3 or user b4 and the word rooter with red color as you mentioned then you are in download mode, now if kdz is not working the other method you have is TOT method, if there is no tot files for your g2 variant try to uninstall and then reinstall the drivers and then try flash kdz again or also you can try with fastboot commands to return to recovery
Thank you so much! I found the TOT files and could save the phone, problem solved
So, I rooted and tried flashing the stock ROM (from Sammobile, same country, same exact model [SM-G950F], I already had the stock ROM and had never flashed anything else to the phone other than root, June security update, my phone had July's) to see if I could fix a problem that couldn't be fixed with any other method I had tried.
Everything in Odin seemed to go well, I got the PASS green box at the end. But then the phone couldn't go pass the Samsung logo when booting up. I left it quite a few minutes, before trying to boot into recovery mode and wiping data. Only to realize that I couldn't boot into recovery mode. In fact, I can't even turn the phone off. No combination of hardware keys works other than power button + bixby + vol down, to get into download mode. But that's of no use, because when I plug my phone into my PC (with the same cable and port I used before to root and flash the firmware into it) it is not recognized by Odin or the PC.
It just has the Samsung logo flashing slowly over and over because I can't turn the device off. By the time the battery dies out I'll most likely have the logo burnt into the display.
I also haven't been able to find any help online. Everyone's suggestion is “boot into recovery and wipe data”, but I can't do that.
Is my phone gone for good?
