Stuck in bootloop

Hello.

My initial problem was that I could not boot into recovery and download mode and then the screen was turning off. I found this thread and was full of hope. I Downloaded Ubuntu and used it to push all the files into my lg g2 802d. The problem is that for some reason I forgot to push the "sbl1.img".

After Rebooting all I can see is the LG logo.

Now I can't go into the download mode and going into recovery gives me a hard reset option that is endlessly "processing". This time I don't see a black screen and my device is unrecognizable by Windows and Linux.

Reasuming:

- I can't access the download mode

- I can't access the recovery mode (stuck on factory hard reset))

- The phone is unrecognizable by the pc

- can't use the terminal in ubuntu

- can't use the ADB or fastboot

- can't find anywhere an answer to my problem.

Please help me. I don't know if I killed my phone or not. Should I give it back to the service? Will they repair or replace it?

Thank you in advance.
[G2 General] sunnymiu:
I faced the same problem with you as I did the similar treatment to phone. Now no computers can recognize my device even I took it to LG repair centre and some third-party repair store. The critical hit was that no computers can recognize my phone making it impossible to be repair in software way.

The guy told me that the storage chip has corrupted so that it could have to be replaced (not by software way). More unfortunately, this storage chip was a part of the motherboard so that it should be replaced entirelly. Finally I have bought a new phone because the stupid mistake I have done. I guess the LG repair guy wasn't lying.

Hope you're lucky to get it fixed, but be prepared for a new one.
[G2 General] aver21:
Thank you for your response.

I have one more question - I still have my warranty and since it impossible to determine the source of the problem they should replace my phone/motherboard for free. Am I correct?
[G2 General] sunnymiu:
Yes—they have no idea what have you done if you don't mention you procedure. Find a repair centre and pretend the phone doesn't boot up suddenly. I cannot replace a new G2 because I didn't bought the phone locally, yuck.
[G2 General] aver21:
Again - Thank you for your answer :)

Thats good to know. Unfortunatelly I bought my phone locally but the company that I bought from was importing the phone from Germany. Does it matter for me? As I know, the LG warranty is international.
[G2 General] sunnymiu:
Exactly same case with you. My G2 was imported from Taiwan and I am from Hong Kong. Although they share the same hardware number (20a or something), my local official repair centre says there is no international warranty for LG. I bought my phone for HKD2,300 but replacing a motherboard in LG would cost HKD2000.

Maybe you have to check with the warranty card or make a call to LG centre. Finger crossed.
[G2 General] aver21:
Did you buy it in a Hong Kong store or just ordered it from Taiwan? That's a big difference. I bought my phone in Poland (my country) and they said that in case of breaking the phone I should send it to them and they will take care of the warranty(probably sending it to Germany).
[G2 General] toxinburn:
thanks

just wanted to thank original poster for this information it helped me to revive my optimus fuel after accidentally copying over the aboot it was slightly different as mine uses sdf instead of sdb or sdc but hey who cares it works!

[G2 General] sunnymiu:
Yes I actually bought it in Hong Kong and it was imported from Taiwan. I am not sure how is the repair policy so you better ask the shop for the mailing fee, and sure that there will be no additional charges.
[G2 General] bender_007:
flash just aboot.img, boot.img (for your version) and laf.img
[G2 General] aver21:
Tomorrow I will try to contact the shop. It's odd that they didn't rapair it for you. When I bought my phone they said that I have 24 months warranty. We will see..
[G2 General] bender_007:
dd if=/home/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop/aboot.img of=/dev/sdb5

dd if=/home/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop/boot.img of=/dev/sdb7

dd if=/home/YOURUSERNAME/Desktop/laf.img of=/dev/sdb24

that's it..

no other partitions please unless you want to come back and say: "help, no fastboot, no partitons, no anything.."

It's not converting..you keep them as they are or rename them. Rename aboot.bin to aboot.img etc.
[G2 General] trent-77:
but i thing *img and *.bin is different file format. if rename is OK i will be try with dd command in linux. If will be windows see my phone :(
[G2 General] bender_007:
you don't even have to rename them, just use the real filename with extension.

bad flash on my ls980 resulted in "bulk mode"

WHEN booting it shows only LG logo with secure booting error.

so I used the rebuilding or replacing partition method here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

and now the unit won't do anything with any combination of butttons, cable inserts, different cords. left connected overnight.

Now NO BLINK, No logo, no backlight, MUERTO, ded, finito.

it was recognized by Win7 as Qualcomm HSUSB_BULK and now it says "unable to find driver."

Please help?

(i downloaded the proper files for the ls980 before using ubuntu to command them to the phone.)

(if it doesn't show anything about the sdb1-36 then hit arrow UP and enter - couple of times until it's shown)

3. gdisk /dev/sdb (the same as the upper one)

but..check the partition list on the first page of the topic

+

dd if=aboot.img of=/dev/sdb5

dd if=boot.img of=/dev/sdb7

dd if=laf.img of=/dev/sdb23

also put the 3 files ^into the same directory where the terminal is opened or cd to it..

but check it using gdisk /dev/sdb one more time

ADB Sideload

Hey guys,

I followed the guide in the OP, and now i can enter TWRP .

However i need to copy a ROM on to the phone to flash it. and since the phone doesnt boot up , the only ways i can do that is either with ADB Sideload or USB OTG, and neither one work .

ADB Sideload in TWRP doesnt work, it just says starting ADB Sideload feature, and it stays like that and nothing happens.

The phone doesnt detect my USB OTG cable either.

any ell would be appreciated.

Thanks
[G2 General] bender_007:
1. start TWRP up

1.5 - don't select sideload...

2. connect to pc

3. look up the device in device manager - is it installed ? (the driver)

4. start cmd (open folder where adb is - hold shift - right click - open command window here.

5. paste your rom into the same folder

6. type adb devices

7. is recovery showing up ? (device...) if yes then 8.

8. adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip (rom.zip = your rom name)

9. it will show you the info as soon the rom is pushed to the device(it will take 3-4 minutes)

I started tarp and connected the phone to my pc, and in device manager it shows it as lg g2 but it has a yellow exclamation mark which means the driver isn't installed.

and when i enter adb devices it doesnt show anything. thats the problem.

OK So never mind my previous post, I managed to get ADB Sideload to work on my mac .

I flashed CLoudyG3 custom rom and the KK baseband , however when i reboot the recovery too boot into the new rom, the phone just boots into tarp again instead of booting into rom.
[G2 General] bender_007:

And when i flash a new rom via TWRP, it completes the flashing, and at the end it displays this :

secondly,It doesnt work. When i try to flash the TWRP 2.7.1.0 Zip file for D802 via ADB Sideload , it starts flashing and then at the end it says "unable to mount cache" , as you can see in the screenshot below:

The Cache is what is causing the problems. I count mount Cache or format cache.

[G2 General] tornamac04:
QUESTION:

What are the chances that a bootable usb drive could be made for the phone. Maybe partitioning it with the proper files and then booting the phone from it using USB OTG?

I have no idea how to do this...just trying to think outside of the box for those of us who are not able to use the method that you have provided.

Just a tip...my phone did at one point display lots of drives when plugged in. I did some other things since that point and it no longer does. If you are showing up a QHS USBDOWNLOAD 9008 this is most likely NOT going to work with you.

The partitions that pop us are crucial for this process to work. If they do not display it means that your boot partition and recovery partion are gone.

See the image attach in the first post. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2553022

YOU HAVE TO BE SHOWING AS QUALCOMM DIAGNOSTICS IN WINDOWS. DOWNLOAD MODE MEANS THAT YOU ARENT EVEN SHOWING UP AS USB STORAGE AND QPST DOES NOT RECOGNIZE YOUR DEVICE AS A PHONE.

Now, if someone could figure out the above or how to make a phone go from download to diagnostic mode...
[G2 General] skypang:
You are right, but I installed QPST-2.7.399 version（old version would display no phone connected）. it can detected to a download mode in qpst. unfortunately in qpst it need some files 8974hex. 8974mbn. and xml files. I don't know how to generate those file .I hope someone can upload ....please
[G2 General] tornamac04:
Which QPST program are you using? I am using 2.7 build 422 and I cannot get it to detect my phone. Are you in Emmc software download? Can you upload your version so that I can try it?

I have read (for other phone models) that if you can flash the partition.mbn/phone.mbn it will get you to the point where all of the drives will pop up and we can use this method. The XML files would be great.

Hey, try this. I have had ABSOLUTELY no luck. I am on 64 bit Windows 8.

Download the .kdz for your phone.

Use LGEXTRACT to separate the .kdz. It will give you a .cab file.

Unpack/unzip the .cab and there will be a .dz file

Use DZ Decrypt and it will have all the files from the image.

I have no idea what is hiding in there. but i would love to see

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/61394-how-to-open-a-kdz-file/

First download LGextract:Download

Extract it.Put you kdz file with extracted contentes.now open command prompt there and execute: lgextract -kdz xxx.kdz

It will create xxx.cab file there.

Use winrar or 7zip to extract it.

Now there will be folder named xxx containing two files namely : DZ_LGE730AT-00-V10x-xxx-XX-OCT-12-2012+0.dz and QCT_E730_20120928.dll.

Now download dzdecrypter : Download

Extract it and put your extracted files into xxx folder.

Again open command prompt and execute:dzdecrypt -x DZ_LGE730AT-00-V10x-xxx-XX-OCT-12-2012+0.dzive you

That will give you many files including recovery.img,boot.img,system.img.ext4 and some mbn files.

Now you can use ext2explore to extract content of system.img.ext4 which will have our /system folder.
[G2 General] skypang:

One blind shot from me, try wiping all (ignore the cache)

Then try installing the recovery.

Eventually as last resort:

1. download laf.img, boot.img, aboot.img

2. sideload them to /sdcard/ (or adb push)

3. using dd via terminal emulator flash them to the right partitions
