Hi okay sorry mate not very clever me..

Bricking was caused when I tried to flash in recovery using latest philz touch a recovery flash able stock Rom.

Device will not enter download mode or recovery or reset..

Windows makes a sound when connecting device but nothing shows anywhere.

At present Linux says there is an error on disk as partitions overlap? And shows what I posted above.

Device turns on but only shows LG on screen nothing else,device won't turn off keeps coming back on you need to hold power button for a long while to shut off,device makes no sound and while screen shows LG..The notification light flashes on and off showing red/blue continually.

Hope you can help.

Thanks sas007.

1. open up device manager - see if there is QHUSB... device

2. either install vmware and tehn ubuntu, knoppix or any other distro or run it from live cd/dvd

3. download the files for your version OR extract them from your kdz

4. when ubuntu or knoppix or whatever throws mounting errors, just don't bother with ls /dev/sd*, you will see "can't mount /dev/sdb14 for example"...so you see it's sdB which you're after.

5.

sudo -i

gdisk -l /dev/sdb to see the partitions

6. navigate to the place you extracted the img/bin's

aboot.img

boot.img

laf.img

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

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

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

where X is the main and Y is the partition
[G2 General] jo3ji:
well first of all i wont be able to try it because my phone wont even mount and when i type the first part of the guide ls -1 /dev/sd* it only gives me /dev/sdb 1 through 6 and even when i type gdisk -1 /dev/sdb it gives me a error and cant continue after that.I also tried doing this with virtualbox to see if it would work but it dont even mount my phone it doesn't even recognize it but windows does. Am i **** out of luck lol?

I have Windows 7 64bit. I am running ubuntu 12.04 in oracle vm virtualbox manager (newest one) (finally). I have verizon VS980 stuck with a black screen and no recovery, no download, no nothing.

I do see LG Electronics OHSUSB_BULK under usb devices in ubuntu

Found the terminal command but when I type ls /dev/sd* all I get is

/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5

thats it.

What next? thanks

UHHHHH this is so frustrating LOL.

OK, after more searching for a dang driver I ended up installing DriverMax to find the driver for me. I had the program install it and of course windows says that its not digitally signed bla bla but it installed. So now in device manager it now says "Qualcomm HS-USB 9006" I restarted umuntu and reconnected the phone. I still get the LG Electronics Inc QHSUSB_BULK in usb devices in ubuntu. Also still only get

/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5

So what do I do now? THanks

Do what in windows? Also where do you get the qpst from that works, the downloads I've seen dont show they work on windows 7. Also the second link what am I getting from there, too many items there to figure out what you wanted me to get.

Also do you have better instructions, my mind is blown trying to figure this out and cant think too straight. thanks

Last question, what does qpst do and what do you do with it?
[G2 General] LightInDark:
Can't do this, no download mode and no recovery so phone just goes to LG logo then restarts and does it again, don't get time to do anything and Windows or Ubuntu don't detect it as it can't get far enough to enable USB.

Does linux throw some errors when connecting it ? Try vmWare and choose to connect the device to guest os.
[G2 General] jo3ji:
well when i connect my phone lots of windows open and i get mounting errors and it loops my phone and keeps trying to mount which results in more windows popping up eventually it stops after a couple minutes, but when i try to type in the commands i cant get past the gdisk -l /dev/sdb part. Sorry if i'm being a hassle second time i brick a phone I'm usually very careful when flashing anything.
[G2 General] bender_007:
What does linux throw out ? mounting error ? Read out which partitions it couldn't mount. Then you will know if it's sdb, sda, sdc or whatever.

Then you can use gdisk -l /dev/sd* <---- whichever partition

So guys,

I was Installing an Update via LG PC suite (or whatever its named) and I accidentally removed the USB cable and now my phone just shows the LG logo first, then shows the blank screen and is shown as "qhsusb_bulk" in device manager.

Thats why I tried this tutorial.

But I can't get startet, windows recognized all partitions of the LG G2 in the Windows explorer and all of them stay there.

But now, when I reboot to Ubuntu and plug the G2 in, then the Partitions get mounted and a second after that, they get unmountet so I can't proceed the tutorial... Please explain me what to do, I got my G2 today and don't know what to do now :crying:
[G2 General] jo3ji:
Well i finally got everything to work and copied everything into the phone with the correct files and now my phone wont even turn on or charge or even get recognized by windows or ubuntu im ****ed.

[G2 General] jo3ji:
I did everything this guide tells me to do and downloaded everything i needed i downloaded my phones files here http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware. When i finished pushing all the files to my phone it turned off and i ejected my phone then disconnected it from y computer tried to turn it on and it didn't do anything just stays off. I plugged it in and windows detects it as unknown usb device and it wont boot at all.

So I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 on my HP Mini bc windows 7 was running way to slow but i'm having an issue installing the LG Mobile driver for the G2 D800. I download the file and when i go to click on it to run it it comes up with an error that says "An error occured while loading the archive."

Please help, so stuck

so I think i got my phone to get detected in ubuntu (using ubuntu 14.04 as my OS, not as a virtual machine) because when I plug it in I get hundreds of these pop ups. Also, the popups didn't start coming until I was holding the power + volume down key.

Also, when I try and do the ls /dev/sd* command it only stays in sda and only goes up to sda6.

I've been trying to read through this thread but i'm only onto page 16 so if anyone can help or at least send me to the right portion of the thread it would be a huge help.

PS i'm a computer noob when it comes to terminal and commands and reading this stuff
[G2 General] wulsic:
[MENTION=6024234]spartydroid51[/MENTION] look in the op for the partitions in red which needs to be mounted, some other partitions cant be mounted but look in the op to get temporary rid of it.

If the partitions you need mentioned in the OP in red are mounted then you canjust follow the guide further and finish everything further.

If you are a computer noob then I suggest to read and do everything carefully.

Hi Bender,

So I was rooted and went to install the update that's going around from Verizon for my 32GB LG G2 and like 99% of everyone else here got the "Boot Certification Verify" and stuck at the LG Logo before the screen going black with the back light on. I can't get into recovery, I can't get into download mode, factory reset just initiates a reboot. I would just take it into Verizon but in one of the few screens I can get it into it says "ROOTED" in big letters.

I've been trying to read as many of these pages as I can because I want to try and avoid being one of those that ends up with a phone that is unrecognizable by their computer. I'm still fairly novice about Linux but I do have a copy of Ubuntu running on a USB as you suggest, the commands I need to enter seem fairly straight forward. The part where I'm lost is that I see I probably shouldn't use the files linked in the original post but instead extract files from a KDZ file?

I have the VS98024A_11.kdz file but am unclear about how to extract it. I honestly can't find any discussion/help on this (probably due to a need for sleep) is there a link to download a special extractor, a link to the files for my phone or any direction you can point me? I'm also wondering if I just need to get the 3 files you listed previously in the most recent posts or do I need more?

Thanks for any help you have to offer!

dd command can be done with extension you want. You dont have to convert.

You can rename them with img ext, if you want to use exact commands syntax from OP, or change img to bin in the command syntax.

Hello all,

I've got the Verizon variant of this phone, my phone bricked after trying to do the system update. it went to reboot and got the slight vibration and then the boot verification screen at the LG logo then went blank.

Found this post and installed Ubuntu VMware on my machine, followed the instructions of this post, made sure i got the right Verizon files, but i wasn't sure what partition folder to grab so i grabbed both of them. tried the 11a first, ended up with a phone that doesn't do the slight vibrate anymore and won't even get to the LG screen. you can tell its turning on because there is the dim back light that comes on.

Figured ****, i did the wrong partition folder, so went back and tried doing the 10b, and im still stuck with the same issue.

Please assist.

Like I said before in this thread, this is the ultimate way to one-way bricking of your phone.

I also wrote to the author to this thread to edit his post and write that this i NOT the way to recover the phone unless it only rooted and broken by the OTA update. But he DIDN'T done that nor he sent me any replay.

I'm sorry man, just like me, the only known way to fix your phone is to replace the board.

If there is some switch on the board that could turn qhsusb_bulk mode maybe you could be fix your phone.

I'm sorry for you.
