What is your device?

This is what appears in the top left of the screen when the LG splash pops up for a split second and goes black if you were curious.

That being said, you need to push a working recovery onto the device. If you can get into android, then you can access ADB from there and push the working recovery. You should be able to find the latest version of vzwG2 twrp in the g2 general section.

If you can't get into android, then you're ****ed as far as I'm aware. However, if this is the case then you can send it into LG and they will fix it right up for you:)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valen89:
Thank you that is exactly wat it says... I will try that right away.. Won't lg say that I rooted my phone so they won't help me?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazer4455:
I've heard some people say that LG just reflashed the phone while they left root on there. I completely formatted the phone so there was nothing left on it before I sent mine in just in case.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] valen89:
Thank you again so much. Do u happen to know y adb won't recognise my device and how to get it to recognise it?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazer4455:
You can't access ADB unless youre in android or a recovery, and you are in neither. You would usually be able to access fastboot (similar to ADB) which is another safety feature so you dont get bricked, but from what i've tried in this state i haven't been able to get into either.

You can try to play around with the android partitions in QHUSB_BULK and potentially fix it if you restore a recovery or something along those lines. But like I had said, I had no success with that.

Your best bet is to send it format the device and send it into LG so they can reflash everything.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmigadiga:
Same issue, fixed it today

I had the same issues with a non-loading boot loader & a non-booting ROM. Follow the instructions in the thread linked below to restore stock firmware, and then root, TWRP, and install a custom ROM afterwards. The link to the LG Flash Tools was not one that worked for me, but a quick google search will get you the right file (top 3 results proved fruitful for me).

Can somebody suggest reasonable deal to get a new display in Hyderabad, India.

Thanks in Advance
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
Hello my friends!

As my background I already played with S-OFF, TWRP, custom rom,etc...I come from an OneS S4 (lovely one) which unfortunately had display broken. :crying:

So I replaced that with the HOSV branded by italian mobile provider HTC__401 (TIM) and I would like to fully unbrand it with an HTC__001 (or HTC__405) RUU and have it finally without any bloatware or their customization on it.

Probably will be easy, but let's discuss. You are my virtual knowlege :angel:

Going to tell you what I have done to my device until today:

- Updated to Jelly Bean 4.2.2 from OTA with CID HTC__401 (the phone was totally stock). After update I had:

Android 4.2.2 with HTC Sense 5

kernel: 3.4.10-g47d5073 root@abm017#1 SMP PREEMPT

baseband:	1.18.40a.00.05

build:	3.11.901.108 CL274079 realese-keys

- Unlocked from HTCDEV (I still have the unlock_code.bin saved)

- Installed the TWRP Recovery 2.6.3.1

- Backup from custom recovery

- Rooted with SuperSU 1.80

- Run Rumrunner to S-OFF (I confirm it worked on a stock HTC__401 updated 4.2.2)

- Changed CID to HTC__001

This now the getvar of my phone:

C:\>fastboot getvar all

I think I give all details you need ;)

Now, As far as I know to be completely unbranded to run the "RUU_K2_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.3_Radio_0.12.4 0.00.14_2_10.49.40.11L_release_302178_signed.exe" I have to downgrade my HBOOT otherwise will fail (following the guide to "Back to Stock ICS for k2u & k2ul with S-Off").

Could you tell me if this is the correct procedure having the above device details? Any issues downgrading from HBOOT 2.21 to 1.xx (don't know the exact version) directly? what about mainversion could differs from the WWW version? Any major risk of brick?

Any suggestion from you all guys are appreciated. I' m here to learn from you.

I thank you in advance all the devs who work on this device!

Obviously after back to ICS and backed up the stock, I'll update and will play again with my phone :):cool:
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
In my opinion all sounds good and should go well.

Use k2u hboot from my thread and check md5sum, then the risk is very low.

Also model id (mid) should be fine.
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
Thanks old.splatterhand for you reply.

But sounds like to many "should":D

What about the mainver specified in your android-info.txt? It differs from mine, it is ok anyway?

In the worst case what would happen to the phone? I would be able to recover it?

Maybe to many question, but I think the best approch is to be careful and evaluate the things before those happened!

basically, If you were me with that phone status do you try it? :D

thanks a lot
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
I still can't believe someone just popped up with a question and gave ALL THOSE DETAILS ABOUT THEIR DEVICE!!! If only everyone else could start doing that ha! Very impressed.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
If it doesn't accept mainver, it refuses to flash. In this case, change it to the unbranded number.

Your phone status is not much difference to mine, i had supercid and unbranded. But this way worked for many others to unbrand.
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
Thanks Modding.MyMind!

This is what I learnt from you all guru of XDA (and in general, too. this for me means respect). Read all topic, if I didn't find the answer, collect everything I need prior to post.

I'm quite sure topic wouldn't be so long and you all will be less stressed.

What's your thought about?

thanks mate.
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
thanks old,

with unbranded number you mean that one I have now on my phone (3.11.901.108)?

Can I try to do now, do you have minutes so you could assist me in case something happen?

I''ll start with the attachment in your post, and then we will see. ok?

thanks
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
I'll leave this to [MENTION=3142060]old.splatterhand[/MENTION] to assist you. You are in good hands with him. Just have patience and follow instructions. If you come across errors then be sure to provide to him the exact steps you took then the error which occurred during those steps. I would help, but I am currently slammed right now with porting 4.2.2 for K2_CL users. Mainly doing this for myself, but of course I will make it available to others as well. Almost done with it. The updater-script is what is killing me right now lol.
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
ok thanks I heard very well from him (also reading many and many posts :D).

Good luck for the porting! :good:
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
I'm sorry, i'm out for some beers and only on the phone.

But if you follow the guide, i'm sure it will work.

k2u unbranded software number is 3.11.401.106.

Try it, in worst case it refuses to flash (as long as md5sum fits).
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
oki, hboot has been downgraded to 1.01.0000 succesfully and as you said "the most tricky part is done".:good:

Phone is reebooted ok and I'm now proceeding to execute RUU in you post for K2_U,

RUU_K2_U_ICS_40_HTC_Europe_1.17.401.3_Radio_0.12.40.00.14_2_10.49.40.11L_release_302178_signed.exe

My phone is attached to a laptop, as many time suggested, in case of power loss.:)
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
a

oops, i'm sorry mate. Don't want to bother you. Have a beer for me, too then!

I'll post the step I'm doing, you'll read then later. btw hboot was succesfully downgraded to 1.01 :good:

Speak later!
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
RUU executed succesfully! Now I'm on ICS 4.0.4.

Just one thing, I'm still *** UNLOCKED *** after RUU.

I'm executing this command to have a Stock backup of ICS in case of need (recovery included then):

fastboot boot customrecovery.img
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Congrats, you only have to run the updates now.

I will have many beers, as i don't have to pay them, so one is for you :D
[HTC One SV] Modding.MyMind:
YES!! Script is working!! Few more modifications and 4.2.2 Port for K2_CL will be available! Off topic, but I figured since I brought it up I might as well post this good news. Will be the last one lol. Next time will be a thread :)
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
You are great man! Cheers!!!! :D

Now to receive update should I relock the phone? by executing

fastboot oem lock

As I'm still not receiving update to JB 4.1.2, yet.

Thanks
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
You usually dont have to relock. Mine worked without.

You did search for update manually?
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
What a fantastic day then!!!!:good:

Congrats to you too, then,:laugh: Boost mobile will appreciate!
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
Yes, I did, without success also manually.

Unfortunately mine could not get OTA, what I have to do now?

Thanks

Something goes wrong with RUU (I'm not LOCKED after that, have to re-run again?)?Wrong CID?

Any suggestion?

A big thanks
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
I *** RELOCKED *** the bootloader now (USB debug was not checked...)

Trying again with OTA.

No success, and still Relocked (not Lockeed ad stock)
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
My device wasn't locked too, after ruu.

Maybe change your cid to supercid (using fastboot).
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
Ok i'm unlocking again the bootloader and write supercid:

fastboot oem writecid 11111111

I'll let you know.

Ok I changed the CID to HTC__405 (Italy no brand) and I got the update. (Tried also with SuperCid and got the update as well). I still not understand why with EU CID 001 dosn't get the update!

Remembering from my previous One S updating with SuperCid will brick the phone. It's the same for ONE SV??I don't think so I immagine from your reply.

What are the plus of having supercid now instead of nobrand?
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
"Faster updates", if there will ever be another ones.
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
yeah, that was my point, it's not really needed now the supercid.:cowboy:

But anyway we can still write it with s-off, right? :D

I'm still updating and backup for each android version ;)
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
Good morning to everybody,

a quick update about my status. Well, everything goes well but at the end I wasn't able to boot (not flash) custom recovery TWRP 2.6.3.2 K2U/K2UL posted to have a full stock backup of my device. Both .img files hang my device and I had to remove battery to restart again. This only happen while on 4.2.2, I assume there are same issues with TWRP and 4.2.2.:confused:

Then I flashed the K2_U image recovery (9.158.656 byte) and doesn't work. Phone remains stuck at Entering Recovery.:confused:

I tried then K2_UL image recovery (10.989.568 byte) and it works.:good:

Does these sounds good? Could we have later a recovery stock in case of needs?

Thanks again!
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
A stock recovery is inside the OTA/Firmware.zip, thats no problem.

And as far as i know, there is only one TWRP recovery which works really for 4.2.2. The others are not working. The k2ul one is also working fine on k2u.
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
Yeah, flashed K2_UL it's working fine, stuck with K2U and stuck also booting both.

Let's see if someone else had this issue.

Thanks mate for you support! I appreciate.:good:

Stay tuned.
[HTC One SV] :
I'm currently having issues with TWRP 2.6.3.0

Thinking about downgrading. Doesn't seem to cooperate when wiping and flashing lol.
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
This version is not made for boost. Wrong partitions and so.
[HTC One SV] :
Oh I'm aware lol. I'm using one for my device but I'm starting to think it may be alpha or beta and not fully stable. At least this version. Having problems flashing my Rom. Worked once without any issues after fixing the updater-script. I decided to restore to run more tests and now the flashing isn't complete due to the black screen which means the system folder in the zip isn't being placed in /system so nothing is popping up on the screen lol.
[HTC One SV] russellvone:
2.6.1.0 has never given me an issue.... I also downgraded back to it after trying 2.6.3.0...

!#quote my post if you want to get my attention more quickly
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
Hey guys,

a question for you.

What are the difference (plus or cons) within the version of hboot? (1.01 - 2.00 - 2.21) and which one do you recommend for 4.2.2?

The thing is, while I was flashing through bootloader the new splash image (creating a PL80IMG.zip), I also had inside the hboot_signedbyaa.img by mistake (file with the same name already on the desktop and used previously to downgrade!). So splash1.img was accidentally just added on the existing zip.

Well, the phone bootup ok, but I was wondering what issues (if Ithere are) I can have with this old HBoot instead of the 2.21?? Stability, hardware/software malfunctioning, lag, etc...it's better or worst

Basically, what do you recommend to do now??:confused:

Thanks a lot
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
I have very good battery life on hboot 2.21. Thats why i will stick to it. Otherwise no difference for me, i've had also no problems with 2.00 on the latest software.
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
thanks [MENTION=3142060]old.splatterhand[/MENTION].

How to upgrade to HBOOT 2.21 again?

Thanks in advance
[HTC One SV] :
Just take the HBoot and place it in your zip file on the root of your external sdcard. Then boot into your bootloader. Follow the instructions on the screen ;)

---------- Post added at 10:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

Or you can boot in to fastboot. Then fastboot oem rebootRUU. Then fastboot flash zip [nameoffile.zip]
[HTC One SV] hondasat:
Thanks [MENTION=5537766]Modding.MyMind[/MENTION],

where I can find and extract the correct Hboot? (I thought I have to zip into PL80IMG.zip with android-info, but I'm scared to load the wrong one, and brick may happened!)

thx
[HTC One SV] old.splatterhand:
Follow my index thread. There is a thread, with ready to go hboot and instructions. Also it has the red text removed, that appears while booting.

[G Pad 8.3 General] woody1:
I got my G Pad on Tuesday and have been setting it up for the last few days. This is the first Android tab I've owned. I've been using Android phones for several years.

Everything has worked fine for me. No reboots, no glitches, if the infamous "blue line" is there, it's so minor that I haven't noticed it.

Brightness is perfectly adequate for my uses. If the color is not perfect, I would only notice if I put it side by side with another tab, and I haven't done that, so for me, it seems fine.

Contrast might need some work. I'll have to see what adjustments can be made sometime later.

I've rooted, installed TWRP and I'm all set for whatever ROMs come down the road.

One thing that I wanted to do with this tab was to replace an aging netbook that I lost recently. So, I've paired the G Pad with an Anker bluetooth keyboard and I'm using a standard Logitech wireless mouse that's connected by OTG cable. This setup works great. It pretty much turns the pad into a mini laptop.

So, bottom line, after 2+ days, I'm very happy with the device. It does everything I need it to do. When set up with the mouse and keyboard, it's a great laptop replacement. Used in hand, it's the perfect size for reading and watching videos.
[G Pad 8.3 General] SCWells72:
Thanks for sharing. I have a Nook HD+ running CM 10.2 now and really like the size, but it can be a little sluggish. I picked up a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition on Monday and tried it out but then returned it. It's a nice piece of hardware, but it was larger than I'd want, and the hardware button placement really got in the way. Then I found a pointer to the G Pad 8.3 and thought it might be a solid option given the size and hardware specs. I also use my tablet as you've described...as a tablet in my personal time (browsing, light email, reading news/books/magazines, and playing simple games) and as a pseudo-laptop replacement when I'm at work, accessing my work machine via remote desktop while in meetings. It's sounds like it's a perfect device for those duties.

I'll keep an eye out for another sale over the next few weeks. The Nook HD+ is working fine for now so I don't need to make a snap decision, and there's still a chance that Google releases a new Nexus based on this device (or so the recent rumors say). If I do pick one up, I'll post my own impressions.
[G Pad 8.3 General] woody1:
The only thing about the G Pad that I don't like is that the speakers are kind of tinny, and they would probably sound better if they were front-facing. They're ok for voice, but not great for music. Although one reviewer I read complained about the sound through the audio jack, I don't know what he's talking about. For me, sound through the audio jack using high end headphones is great.
[G Pad 8.3 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I think the contrast in colors can be adjusted, I'm hoping the CM builds will fix it or a mod or future update will fix that.

My experiences are about the same as yours... I also have had no screen issues(no blue lines, very little back light blead), no lag issues... Just works. I wish LG took some time to properly adjust the colors like they did on my G2... that is the only thing!
