So I'm really into Android developing, I'm always flashing and installing etc, but I got a problem now.
Phone information
LG G2 D802
Rooted
TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0
Was running 4.4.2, found a kdz file on the internet and flashed it (no regular update from my phone)
What happenedI actually did something stupid, I received an application update from the LG Download Center (or whatever it's called) on my phone and clicked on it. I was planning on flashing Android 4.4.2 again because my firmware was not stable, and I thought this update could help me.
But no, after it finished downloading, I automatically booted into recovery.
What I didSo I tried to reboot and enter my OS, but unfortunately, I was stuck in recovery.
I did everything I could, wiping (Dalvik) cache, factory reset, flashed a new rom, restored Nandroid backup, but no, every time I booted, I got back into recovery again.
I only saw 1 option left, booting into download mode and flashing a new firmware.
I found the Netherlands 16GB kdz file for Android 4.4.2 (because I had a French one first), the one I was looking for.
Looked all over the internet, and all guides pointed me to this guide.
Tried it, but I got multiple errors, one of them was that my phone was not connected while I was at 15% of the flash process.
What happenedAfter that first flashing process, I booted up, but got a Security Error. After the Security Error was showing for 5 seconds, my phone shut down. This is happening every time I try to boot up.
I couldn't access my recovery anymore, nothing. Edit: I can access my recovery right now, and I tried this, but when I boot up I get the Security Error again.
The big problem right now is the Security Error! How do I bypass that?
So can someone please help me out!
Several phones/tablets of mine bricked and I always found a way to get out of it, but not this time, unfortunately...

Yes, I actually have. Didn't mention it, but after I did that I booted and got an LG logo and below it was a text that said 'Security Error' After like 5 seconds the security error goes away and my phone shuts down. I can only enter download mode right now.
I'll edit my first post with this info.
Thanks for the help though!
Edit: I find a way to access my recovery again because at first I couldn't but I figured out that the code in the thread you linked was a bit different than the code I entered at first.
So I used the code you gave me, but now I get the Security Error again!
Hi mate, just like you i downloaded that damn OTA today and messed up my phone, but in my case was because i had totally forgotten it was rooted and had custom recovery installed :silly::silly::silly::silly:
I followed this tutorial to fix the boot secure error http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 and it worked like a charm except for download mode wasn't working at all.
After doing some research i found this post http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ricked-lg-g2-stuck-twrp-no-download-mode.html and got download mode (apparently) working again but Windows didn't recognize it at all so i couldn't use it to flash the .kdz stock firmware.
In the end i just flashed a custom aosp rom and got my phone back to life but the download mode issue it's still there and it's bothering me quite a lot.
Any suggestion is welcome.
EDIT: Don't download the recovery from the post, instead look for the latest version (2.7.0.0) because the one posted there (2.6.3.2) might corrupt your partitions

Thanks! But does my internal storage get whiped? Will all my pictures etc. be gone?
And the first thred removes the security error right? And after that I can just boot into recovery mode (I can boot in recovery btw) and flash a new rom? Just wanted to know this so I don't go through all that trouble for nothing
Edit: You know I can enter both download and recovery mode right?

Nope internal SD remains intact, basically what you'll be doing is pushing the right files into the system partitions and yes, in theory you should be able to flash a new rom.
Even if you can boot into recovery you should do it if you're getting that error, and after that you can just push a ROM file to flash (i'll assume you know how to do it) and btw let me know if you decide to flash a stock based rom instead of an aosp like i did.
Good luck with that :good:

Perhaps you might consider sending it in to lg if you still have warranty. But I'd you don't, there are services on eBay/ Craigslist that can help you.

Hi there,
I recently was going to install a new rom on my phone... I ended up doing a system restore on settings... And now the phone will not update the MTP driver, I tried it on another computer nothing so far. It also wiped my back up file in recovery!
I also tried going into the registry do to the "UPPERFILTERS" fix but it did not work for me!
Any suggestions on how I can somehow fix this!
Thanks.

reflash with odin does it reset philzrecovery?
I am about to reset my phone with odin as I cant connect the USB, the recovery will still be there after?

The phone won't update the MTP driver? You must mean PC. I can only assume that you are allergic to Google searches as good solutions are easily found.
Google search: reinstall MTP driver
Try disabling WMP temporarily as it often interferes. And if necessary you can remove the previous driver install in the registry. There are often two entries, one under HKLM and another under HKCU.

That depends on what you do with Odin. If you flash a full firmware, only your user files in the /data partition will persist. Your recovery would be wiped.
And a factory reset would delete user files.

The link you provided didn't work. Could you provide me with a step by step guide. I tried two steps using the registry and watched various videos it didn't help. I am very new to this lol.
how do you remove previous driver driver?
if does not work, I got firmware files from sammobile to unbrick. Would my own back up from Philz be able to be used by odin?

The link worked in the post preview, but XDA likes to automerge posts and apparently that broke the hyperlink as well. I've fixed the link. But all you would have had to do was copy and paste the link.
That concerns me because if you don't notice /can't correct a minor formatting error in a link then your phone is at substantial risk. What I mean is that Odin is dangerous if you don't pay close attention to details. Be careful.
It's not hard to reinstall a driver. Just uninstall the old driver and realize that WMP can interfere with the reinstallation. If only a step by step guide will do, you will find lots of spoonfed guides in the Google search results.
I don't use Philz, I find TWRP to be much better. But I doubt that you could use Odin to restore a Philz backup. You'd need to reinstall Philz. Then restore your backup from recovery mode.
.
Decided to re-flash stock rom using odin with recovery file from sam-mobile website and up and running again. Thanks for help anyways!

I did check out your hyperlink lol I just googled searched it. I thought you sent a link not a google search. I went into three different step by step guides regarding the issue, it was just one of those days where basics things just didn't work out lol.
I got fed up so I did I ended up doing a full recovery I just wanted to avoid that process since I know there was a simpler method.
Can someone pls. help me. I have a rooted Lenovo IdeaTab A3000-H that accidentally got soft bricked after I edited build.prop on /system/build.prop
Info:
Model Number: Lenovo A3000-H
Android Version: 4.2.2
USB Debugging: Disabled
Currently Bootable To: Stock Recovery and Fastboot
(I could boot to ADB but it could only do sideload commands)
I have a recovery.img (CWM) that I can't flash since my PC can't detect my tablet while it's turned off
(And also if possible, can someone give me an original unmodded Lenovo A3000-H build.prop.bak and CWM flashable zip compatible for my tab.)
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
If you can get in fastboot mode you should be able to flash a CWM recovery.img, no need for a CWM flashable zip.
You can also try adb pushing a copy of your original build.prop to replace the faulty one, you can extract it from your stock firmware if its available for download and use the extracted copy or you can extract the build.prop from whatever custom ROM you were on if you had Custom installed.
I'm not saying these are your definite fix, they are just some things for you to look into.

1) it says that my tablet doesnt support flashing partitions through flashboot
2) my backup for my build.prop is in my internal storage(phone storage). And that is why I'm asking if any of you guys have an original copy of build.prop.bak so that I could try to flash it using my stock recovery
3) whenever I try to do adb commands, I always get the error "error:closed"
PS: I only have stock recovery and I can't flash using SP Flash Tool because I don't have my USB Debugging turned on
BTW sorry if I sometimes/always reply late... It's because my timezone is different, because I live in the Eastern Countries...

If you can find your stock firmware and download it you can extract your build.prop from it and adb push it to your system folder.

That's because you don't have USB debugging turned on, without that turned on your only option is to restore your device with your stock firmware. I don't think you are going to get much as far as answers here at XDA, you should take the device to a repair shop.
If you can boot to fastboot then you should be able to flash your stock firmware and restore the device.

well... I think I could repair my device if someone gives me a CWM Recovery Zip compatible to Lenovo A3000-H that I could flash to my device using my Stock Recovery then use it so that my computer detects my device.... Or just an original copy of Lenovo A3000-H build.prop.bak or just build.prop.... Or a scatter file for my tab...

I don't believe flashing a custom recovery through your stock recovery is even possible. You can't flash custom through stock recovery, you can only flash stock files and updates through stock recovery.
If you get the build.prop how do you plan to put it back where it goes? You said that USB debugging is not turned on so adb won't work, thats probably why fastboot isn't working either.
If you want to try the build.prop then download your stock firmware and extract the build.prop file from the firmware and use the extracted file.

If you mean to flash it through stock recovery I doubt it will work, you can see if there are any stock updates in zip format for your model that can be flashed in stock recovery, if you were rooted it probably won't work though because you have to be unrooted and have an unmodified system partition to apply a stock update.
Your device isn't hard bricked yet so there should be something you can do, I just don't know the details of your model. You may have to take it to a repair shop.

I tried to use the SP Flash Tool to flash the recovery.img to my device but it got an error 3038 (I think), so I'm guessing it's the scatter file... (I Googled it )

I don't think so but don't quote me, it'll either flash an succeed or fail, I doubt it will make things worse.
Have you looked at the possibility of using an extsdcard and a debrick.IMG or its equivalent to boot from a bootable extsdcard the same as PC does with a bootable USB? If it works on your device like it does some other devices you can boot into system from extsd and then do what you need to do to fix your device then return the sdcard to normal use after you are going again on its own.

An admin won't be able to help you. All android devices are different, they vary drastically from one model to the next, no one here knows about every device, you are going to have to find other users with your device or you will have to find a developer that works on your device, they will know what you need, we aren't all experts with all devices, we each know the devices that we have personally owned and used.
The disconnecting every three seconds is because you are still in a bootloop, it boots to flash mode then loops and boots again, over and over, it can't find the right stuff to boot the way it needs to.

You can't apply stock updates on a rooted device with custom recovery, you have to have stock recovery and an unmodified system partition.
If you can't get to download mode then you might have to send the device to a shop that can perform a JTAG service on the device.

I didn't say that you couldn't flash stock in custom recovery.
I said, you can't flash "stock updates" on a rooted device, it requires stock recovery and an unmodified system partition. You just didn't understand.
There ARE, however, stock ROMs that have been converted into flashable zips that can be flashed in custom recovery, but this won't help you right now.
If you can get to download mode then you can flash your full stock firmware via Odin.

Here are some troubleshooting steps for a failed Odin flash from the S2 forum, troubleshooting yours should be similar.

Hi, since yesterday I have a big problem with my le pro 3, while charging the phone suddenly turned off. The system did not want to turn on, so I went into recovery (TWRP) and tried to format and upload a new rom, unfortunately during the flashing, a blue screen appeared. When changing the kernel, the flashing of the rom was done, but with the installation of the gapps it hung. I tried to install another rom, but it also spilled, with this addition, that I can not enter recovery, because artifacts appear or reboots.. Only fastboot works. With it, I tried to flash the kernel, recovery, but it did not do anything. I also used (TOOL ALL in ONE) and uploaded the stock rom, but the phone still does not work. Do you know what else could help, or is buying a new phone? Thanks for help
If you can use fast boot, your phone is not hard bricked. A brick is when you can not do anything , you will have a black screen and a red blinking light if a usb cable is connected.
Try pushing Twrp ( newest version) to the phone. If that is successful boot to recovery, fully wipe your phone, reboot to recovery and install you Rom> Gapps, and Magisk. I would suggest initially flashing Lineage 15.1. Once your phone is restored, flash whatever you would like.
If it doesn't work try another cable, or another port, or another computer. Computer needs to be up to date and you may need to temporarily disable antivirus, if the All in One tool isn't working its likely that your computer is blocking the install. especially if you are using Windows 10. All the program to be open within your firewall settings. Make sure its up to date and use AIO to update android drivers and adb.
I'm not giving anything, I still can't get into recovery

The operation in flashone goes well, but it still does not help. System and recovery does not boot, only fastboot

What does the log say?
if you are getting no errors at at and can only boot to fastboot try the All in One tool or use the QPST method to unbrick. Also, some posted versions of Qfil are corrupted. Did you use the version that I provided a link for?

For the second time I tried to use flashOne and the phone started up. When entering the pin code, the phone was stuck again. When I wanted to reboot, I could only enter fastboot again.

Okay sure, I provided you with a link to the correct files to use. I.E Flash 2.0 and le_zl1_qfil_ufs_fix.zip
Twice you have mentioned that you are using flash One, when you should be using flash 2.0
What Pin code?
Your pin error sounds like you are either using the old Qfil ( its corrupted, and never worked for anyone. ) Or the technician repair rom did not complete. There will be a log file on the PC from Flash 2, not the phone, is port 9008 open in device manager?
There should be no pin code, if qfil was installed, all of your data would be wiped, did you encrypt the phone with 3rd party software?
Are also using the wrong version of Qfil?
Review these additional steps

I am using flashone 2.0 and flashing from your link, the file "le_zl1_qfil_ufs_fix.zip". Port 9008 is open. After three flash in 2.0 flash, I could enter recovery, but when flashing custom rom, a blue screen appeared.
Not enough information, did you follow all of the steps? You can't just flash a Rom after unbricking.
To be clear
You restored the phone, booted into the system, turned on developer options, checked oem unlocking, booted into recovery, and did a factory reset to repair the storage as outlined in my instructions link?
Then booted into the system again, turned on developer options, checked oem unlocking, checked that storage is accurate?
From this point you start over, if your storage issue isn't fixed you will get a blue screen.
After you have perform those steps you should be able to use the all in one tool to check that the bootloader is unlocked, install the latest TWRP, compatible Rom, Gapps and latest magisk.
If you still have issues after all of that. No doubt, its hardware related. It could be one part or several parts. Time to buy a new phone.

Once we managed to load the system, which hung up after 3 seconds and the whole situation started again. Failed to reload the system or enter recovery. I did all the steps in turn. After the system startup I did not even manage to enter the settings, because it has already hung up and restarted.

That sucks!
Its either that the partitions are inaccurate or you have hardware problems.
If its partitions, its not something that I have experience with. However, I did find this link; which has instructions for resolving partition issues using the MiniTool Partition Wizard and HDD Raw Copy Tool. https://www.leakite.com/2016/06/revised-how-to-unbrick-qualcomm-android.html

They should download automatically, if you follow the instructions on those previous Links . The instructions should show which folders the files are located in.
Luckily, I saved these files the last time I de-bricked someones phone.

Noup they do not download automatically (I followed the instructions), I tried flashone tool procedure in a windows 7 computer and did not work (I already tried this a lot of times on to differente laptops with windows 10), I have not tried the qfil procedure because I do not have the files I mentioned before. Please if you have them upload them (* prog_emmc_firehose_8996.mbn* rawprogram0.xml* patch0.xml)
Thanks in advance

All I have is in the link you just responded to.
if that doesn't work try unpacking the Qfil and and see if you can just extract them.
I will look further when I get back home.
i also have an bricked LEX 3 Pro . i bought it as an X722 but of cause iam not shure . could also be an X720. i can not find the difference.
so Phone has only fastboot.
when i plug in usb cable it just reboot every 10 sec . no charging sreen appears
i flash Qfil, but not helped it stay the same
