[G2 General] HTF:
I keep getting a cookie not present error when I try and flash :(
[G2 General] ghibli3:
Sorry [MENTION=5640679]skypang[/MENTION] but i can't download from that link becouse ask for user and password, can you share those files?

I have 8974.hex file while file partition.xml can be made like other *.xml es 8960.xml but with right address of partition emmc
[G2 General] HTF:
Ok so I got past the cookie problem by rebooting the phone. Now when I try and flash via the emmc downloader all it does is instantly remove the phone from download mode meaning it doesn't flash.
[G2 General] maofedeli:
Done! Now where i can found img and ...etc?

I'm go to put another thaks :D
[G2 General] Geraldao:
I have booting security error when i want to boot into recovery. I never had access to any recovery.

I'm on stock rom v20f. Updated v10e to v20f through the phone. Rooted.

Is the OP's method ok for my f320k ?

Please, help me because i want to flash a custom rom and i can't !!!
[G2 General] pw1nce:

http://hi.baidu.com/ch_ff/item/c5baa02910fbbe110975082c hey bro ur doing the right process , check that link , its in chinese but translate thru chrome , in that link they ve shown how to get phone in download mode and during the process the phone automatically disconnects , as you said , check it ang give feedback thanks ,
[G2 General] HTF:
I never had a drive come up to format. I think I corrupted the GPT of the EMMC when trying to make my phone 32GB again instead of 16GB using dd. All I need to do is restore the backup GPT but when it doesn't show up as usb bulk it is impossible to do that. Hence why I need to use qpst to make the phone go back in to at least bulk mode.

The link you provided is what I have been following, I have a feeling it would work if the damn disconnect would stop.

I am fairly certain the disconnect is sahara related as it goes no further than trying a sahara handshake (you can test sahara stuff in the qpst config program by right clicking on the port and selecting sahara properties, but it will make it disconnect again). Which is the flash.xml and MPRG8974.mbn are for.
[G2 General] pw1nce:
if its showin as unknown device in device manager , hold the power button for 5-7 seconds , you ll hear the sound of when windows detect a drive and it will be showin as ''qhsusb_bulk'' then in device manager
[G2 General] HTF:
My phone sometimes shows as unknown but usually shows as in download mode not bulk mode. I have not yet been able to make it show as bulk regardless of buttons held down.
[G2 General] pw1nce:
okay fyn , i hope we get the fix , chk youe inbox , i need some help of you , if you can give ur whats app or other community where u re regular , need ur help

I am having the same problem with my ls980 but i cant seem to find a way to fix it will this guide work for my phone?
[G2 General] hootinani:
After redoing the steps from the OP, this time turning off automount, im having the exact same problem with my VS980. Everything seemed to have copied fine, but when I pulled the phone off of the USB cord and attempted to reboot, it would not power on at all. Any ideas at all, or is this the final straw for this phone?

Do I need to install LG drivers on ubuntu?
[G2 General] twinsen.net:
Could someone help me and provide with needed files for LG G2 mini D620r version? V10g firmware, EUR version.

I tried to unlock bootloader and after modification my phone does not turn on. I know that this is G2 subforum,

but I can't find this kind of thread in my subforum.
[G2 General] bender_007:
^ get your kdz either via imei method or let someone dump the files for you. If you want I'll create a small app for you guys so you can dump and share your partitions.
[G2 General] twinsen.net:
Yes, plz create this small app. But, what if bootloader is corrupted this way? My phone is not recognized as any USB device. It is hardbricked now? Is any chance to revive it? (like NVM flashing at phone service shack?)
[G2 General] bender_007:
The app is to send to someone who has a working phone. So yoi will get working partitions. For now try installin ubuntu via vmware or native and try connecting the phone to the computer.
[G2 General] twinsen.net:
I already did it. Under Linux, neither emulated or real one, my phone is not recognized at all, USB subsystem doesn't see this device, like it was unconnected via USB, or just lying on the table without cable :/
[G2 General] bender_007:
Oh. Then can't help you :/ . someone from your g2 mini forums with similiar issue?
[G2 General] twinsen.net:
I will ask there, will keep trying to revive it, and let you know some hours/days later, for knowledge sharing. But thank you for trying help :) I did all the things in the first message of this thread, maybe made some mistake somewhere and it all resulted in bootloader corruption - so probably device can't even "quiet boot" to USB-debug support.
[G2 General] enesaltin55:
meh :/

Hey :) ,

VRware works better than VirtualBox. I am now one step further

but... what ist the Problem now ? I already read about this problem at page ~107 but i cant find the answer :(:confused:

Type without number

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

What exactly did you do to brick it ?

-no download mode ?

-no recovery ?

-no fastboot ?

-> try downloading ubuntu or knoppix or any linux distribution, install or run live dvd -> connect g2, tell us what happens.

Or install ubuntu/knoppix/any other inside vmWare
[G2 General] Mo Sulimani:
well, this's my story :D

i've lost my internal storage 32GB by downloading wrong stock rom, it was showing me 10GB. :confused:

so i was thinking to use my great brain to solve this mistake by following a solution that i found it in this form :D

unfortunately and by somehow i lost the whole storage :eek:

and here i am. :laugh:

btw i'm using now ubuntu and i've downloaded required files but as i told you when i plug my phone there's nothing comes up :(
[G2 General] bender_007:
Sure ? Native ubuntu or ?

Windows also doesn't have a new device in device manager ?

Try performing factory reset and then connect the g2 to pc.
[G2 General] Mo Sulimani:
it's a trial version (LTS) i'm running it from USB

anyway as you said on windows, the answer is yes, it doesn't appear in device manager.

and i've tried to perform factory reset but nothing happened. :(
[G2 General] netghozt:

Phone not recognized in download mode

Thanks for all the help folks. I finally figured out how to flash the 5 image files in ubuntu. I now have download mode, however, i cannot get past the "download mode". On the youtube videos i watched, it goes into the firmware update screen.....

I then attempted to flash the stock firmware using the LG flash tool, but my phone is not recognized.

Before i transferred the image files, my phone was detected as QHSUSB_BULK, then i applied the Qualcomm HSUSB diagnostics 9006. But now, windows cannot detect the phone.

Things I tried:

Hard reset

Booting to download mode

Booting to recovery mode [i get a fast boot mode started error & idc_start ()

Here's one more desperate G2 owner that has bricked his phone using this guide. Just like many others here, I followed the tutorial without having in mind that if the phone didnt run on 10b Europe (Was on 20f Europe). My phone went out of warranty 1 week ago. Neither Ubuntu nor Windows recognise the phone. If anyone (finally) finds a way out of this, I'd love to hear it. In the meantime I'm reporting this thread and hopefully some moderator will edit it and make sure that the part regarding ROM used previously is written in HUGE RED LETTERS!!!

Sorry but flash how and where to find proper files for my device ?
[G2 General] bender_007:
Ignore the errors. As per blinking, just issue the gdisk -l /dev/yourpartition couple of times. It stops. Or use knoppix or disable automounting.
[G2 General] vlourie:
Ok, so at the end with Ubuntu 32Bit and vmware everything went good.

My prob is no download mode what ever i try to do

There is no baseband for flex?
[G2 General] bender_007:
Sure there is.

Download stock flex rom, extract partitions, then flash baseband or just flash aboot, boot, laf. Then it would have to work.
[G2 General] ohad129:
Stock rom of kk or jb? You said baseband which one where i can find it fit for 958?
[G2 General] bender_007:
http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ paste your imei, you'll get your kdz

use kdz extractor to extract the partitions

or let's say this one
[G2 General] ohad129:
You means the jb version or the kk version ?

Cause this link with imei give me the latest
[G2 General] bender_007:
Use the latest ofc(but if your system is 4.2.2 then use the okder one 4.2.2) extract the few images and it will work
[G2 General] ohad129:
Images you means about atc..?
[G2 General] bender_007:
Kdz-> kdz extractor. Aboot.img boot.img laf.img = download mode. = flash stock kdz.
[G2 General] ohad129:
Ok thx

Where are you at now?
[G2 General] Asgarth.bg:
at the deep end.

Hey people,

Hey bender_007,

Looks like you "da man" to talk to, since you've been super helpful.

Anyway, don't want to put you in the spotlight, but I hope that you or anyone for that matter can help me out here, because I'm at the deep end now...

Used to have a rooted AOSP rom on my LG. Then I wanted to try something else and had a small issue, ended up with a stock LG rom (I believe it was the 20a) with root, but could not for the life of me get into recovery. I tried to install twrp by every method that I could find that does not require ADB.

( My pc just plain does not like android devices. Out of 3 phones that I've tried to modify with ADB only one and only ONCE i've been able to run ADB successfully. )

Now with my phone on 20a stock rom and with no accessible recovery I accidentally accepted the lg OTA update and got stuck with the LG logo.

I installed ubuntu and followed the instructions in the first post and got recovery back, but now I can no longer use my internal storage.

These are the bullet points for my problem:

¬¬ First of all I can no longer find the device with ls /dev/sd*

¬¬ I can see the device is in recovery when I'm plugged into the PC on ubuntu (with adb devices).

¬¬I can see the folder tree if I go into install in twrp, but at the bottom it says 0mb internal memory.

¬¬In the "backup" section I can see the other partitions

*boot - 16mb

*recovery - 16mb

*system - 51mb

*data - 0mb

*cache - 151mb (is this supposed to be this big??)

*EFS - 6mb

¬¬Most important I can not get a OTG usb to be recognized in TWRP. I have two OTGs now and they both are not recognizable there, but are recognizable in my LG G3

I thought twrp 2.6.3.2 might not be OTG enabled, but I can't push (dd if=/home/med/Desktop/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2d802 of=/dev/sdb15) another recovery because G2 no longer found with ubuntu.

edit: what does this do:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

I think this is all the detail that I have and I'm stuck. I really think it's a software problem and could probably find somewhere to fix this in a shop or something, but I'm skint at the moment and would like to to this myself.

All help is appreciated greatly and subject to my eternal gratitude and paypal skills!!!
