Possibly bricked G2

Hello guys, first off ... I'm pretty new at this whole Android custom ROMs, rooting thing.

So I screwed up. I had the stock 4.4.2 stock rom and I tried installing the DarkoBas PSD ROM via ADB. My LG G2 D802 was rooted using StumpRoot app, then I couldn't get to the Recovery Reboot so I used an app, that worked and I wiped data and cache ... Couldn't find the Dalvik cache so I left that out. Next thing I connected it to the PC via USB cable and sent the .zip file using ADB, it took a while but it was transfered ok, the phone started preping itself and then the installation stopped and something like "Unable to unmount /sdcard" and "Unable to unmount /system" poped up. I thought "damn it, I'm gonna have to stick with the stock ROM".

But it was even worse, after reboot the phone doesn't start up... When I hold down the PWR button the LG logo pops up and after few seconds a text appears under it saying "Security Error". And that's it, I can't get to the Recovery mode or Download mode (not that I could before). It doesn't even get detected by Windows.

The only thing I can do is get to the "Factory data reset" (which doesn't help BTW) by pressing vol. Down and PWR, after the logo pops up I let go and hold vol. Up and Down... Guys it's bad and I'd appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks in advance.

I heard that flashify does not need twrp/cm to flash. Will the phone boot? With unmodified kernel.

Reason i ask is autorec on 27a works but i get video call has stopped error, and ramdom reboots. Trying to figure out an alternative method to install twrp.

I am currently running a stock VS98027A rooted, on stock kernel, and recovery. Looking to flash twrp. Not sure when autorec will updated to correct that error and reboots.

Use supersu to full unroot, reboot your phone and then proceed to update.

Yeap, the latest one should work.. but you also can download from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12880 I always used this basebands.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulwollf:
But those are for stock Roms arent they? But vanir is aosp and dr87 deleted his modified basebands with working Rotation...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
Nope.. basebands works for every ROM but some ROM's are using jb source(so they require JB baseband) and some of them uses kk source(and they require KK baseband). Also sometimes you can use KK baseband on jb based ROM, for example kk baseband works on cm11 for me :D.. the worst thing that will happen when you are using wrong baseband can be: low or no signal, broken auto-rotation, broken VOIP. But anytime you can flash other baseband using recovery. And don't use other devices basebands :D

I don't think you can hard brick it. I don't now the exact role of modems, but the main role is to offer a good working cell signal, wifi signal.

For sure they will. But if you sync with google, they automatically get downloaded again after setting up your GMAIL account. But all your data (Highscores, etc.) will be gone. But your contacts usually are synced with google too. So no worries about them.

If you have no custom recovery it is safe to update.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
On the box it should say: LG-D800/D801/D802..etc

Or on the back of your phone, or in settings->about phone and look for "Model name" or hardware information or something like that and you should find your device model

And always when you flash firmware, ROMs, kernels flash only the version for your device model

What to do now?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
And you actual system doesnt boot? You could try to flash a custom ROM if TWRP still works, just push the ROM zip on your phone via MTP in recovery and do wipe and flash the ROM

If you can boot in system and you are on stock, you can use LG Mobile Support Tool and from Options select "Upgrade Recovery" and this will fix the Download mode but far as i know this also erase all data from your phone

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drdaylight:
Ok. So I'm really new to this whole Smart Phone thing and installing these Roms. I was able to get Paranoid Android on my phone a few months ago before bricking the phone trying to install another Rom. So I'm here again, with my brand new replacement phone to ask a couple questions and make sure I get things right this time!

First of all, I have the VS980 (Verizon) version of the Lg G2. I'm currently rooted (used StumpRoot) and in Developer mode. TWRP hasn't been installed yet. I haven't installed that latest update that been popping up on my phone as of right now.

Android Version: 4.4.2

Build Number: KOT49I.VS98026A

Software Version: VS98026A

Now a couple questions.

1. Best way to install TWRP? I used Flashify before my last phone bricked. Is this good enough?

2. I kind of want to try Resurrection Remix ( http://xdaforums.com/lg-g2/development/rom-resurrectionremix-lpalpha-t2969200 ). Do I have to flash this thing called Baseband or whatever this "12b" thing is. I swear I seen this in the instructions at one point in time and now I dont.

Either way, I would like to know what exactly this 12b is and where to find it. Google searches didn't give me much.

3. Resurrection Remix mentions to use this ClockworkMod Recovery. Do I really need to use this over TWRP?

I think that's all the questions I have for now.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raulx222:
[MENTION=6257705]drdaylight[/MENTION]

Use AutoRec to install TWRP, and then update to latest TWRP from here

Baseband = modem. And modem it's what sends and receives cell data. On all CM12 based ROMs(like Resurrection Remix) you will have to use a JB baseband or the KK baseband with auto-rotation fix

You can download the JB baseband from here.

Removed twrp whilest flashing rom?

Dear xda-developers,

Oke, so let me explain what just happened.

I went on the Cyanogenmod mod site to download cm12, and i also download the correct gapps

When downloaded i dragged them into my phone. I disconnected my phone from the pc, and rebooted it into recovery.

The first thing i did after getting into the recovery was make a backup of all my files, so i had that done.

Then I wiped everything, my internal storage aswell (is that a big deal, or does your phone do that in a factory reset aswell)?

After it all being wiped i went into the install part of twrp (2.7.0.0). There i looked for zip. files i placed on my phone.

They weren't there, so i decided to reboot again and check if they are there.

But now I have a serious problem, it seems that no recovery has been installed, so i can't do anything!

So basicly, how can i get twrp back on my phone without having a operating system on it? Or what should i do to get my phone working again?

Thanks in advanced!

Thij
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Bro, you just were very dumb... (TWRP is still there, but you just don't got it ;) ) The internal storage was where you have placed your zip files (CM12) before. Hold down the power key for 20secs. Then press vol- & power, until the LG logo shows up. Then press these two keys again. Then something like "do you want to reset your phone?" should show up. Press the power key twice. (Don't worry, nothing wrong will happen). Then you are in TWRP again. Then (depending on which androidversion you are using):

-If you are on 2.8.x.x, you can simply connect your phone to your computer, download the CM files again and then drag and drop them to your phone. Finally flash them.

-If you have a version below, you have to setup an adb interface. Download the ROM (zip-file) to your computer and copy it into the same folder as the ADB files are. Run a commandline in the directory of the ADB (shift + right mousebutton > run terminal). Then connect your phone to your computer, and go to advanced > adb sideload and swipe (in TWRP). Type "adb sideload <romname>.zip" (replace <romname> with the actual name of the file). The file will be copied and flashed immediately. You can do the same with the GApps.

Btw. since you wiped your internal storage ALL your data is gone for ever (pictures, music and so on). For a clean install you have to wipe everything EXCEPT the internal storage. Otherwise you will run into the same issue again.

The G2 ROM is based on the Stock ROM of the G2 and the G3 ROM is based on the stock ROM of the G3. Both ROMs are made for the G2. The difference is mainly the UX. On the G3 ROM you get the Features of a G3 and on the G2 ROM you get the features of the G2.
