[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkylerWallace:
I have a rooted LG G2 (AT&T) running Android 4.2.2. I rooted it and then tried to install TWRP recovery. After attempting to flash a TWRP image using Flashify, the phone rebooted showing the Android guy with a red triangle (so basically the installation failed). I held down the power button and the phone booted up like normal.

Alright, now later down the line the phone received an OTA update (probably Kitkat). When the phone "booted", the LG logo flashed on the screen and then stayed black (the backlight was still on). If I hold the power button+volume down, the phone will just reboot. Without really being able power down the device, it seems I cannot get into download mode. Also, if I hold down power button+volume down for a long time, the notification LED will blink red (5 times *stop* 5 times...) until I let go.

Eventually I tried the power button+volume down button multiple times, pressing it in different timing intervals and managed to get it into factory reset mode! I followed the prompts but alas the phone will still not boot normally and the screen backlight is still on.

I hope this is the right forum, I need help fast.

[EDIT]

By following this link, I was able to get into fastboot.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

However, I still didn't know how to get into download mode from here so I followed this link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2477595

I followed the steps but still cannot get into download mode (still stuck at fastboot). I have downloaded the 10d and 10o partitions from this link.

http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D800/Stock_Firmware

I just need to know what to do now to get into download mode.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd1085:
What steps are you taking to get into download mode?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkylerWallace:
I unplug my phone while its in fastboot. Then I hold the power button for about 20 seconds; during this process the screen goes black, the LG logo flashes, then the phone seems to be truly off. I went in the bathroom with the lights off to verify the backlight was off. Next, I hold the Up button and plug the phone to my computer while still holding the button. If I do this, it still boots into fastboot.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jordylee18:
I soft bricked my d800 when I used an app to install a recovery. It did the same thing your phone does. The lg symbol would come on, the screen would go black and the notification led would blink. Turning the the phone off just made it reboot. But i found if i held the power button down long enough, it would kill it dead. I had to hold it down maybe 20-30 seconds.

Then i downloaded a sytem image and flashed it with the lg flash tool. Piece of cake. To get into download, make sure the phone is off, press the volume up key and insert your usb cord. Keep holding the volume up button until it enters download mode.

Edit: skyler beat me to it. Guess i took to long writing.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkylerWallace:
I wish I were still at that stage. Guys in those forums are using the Terminal and CMD to use files. I followed the instruction and now I'm at the fastboot menu. I CANNOT get into download mode no matter what I try.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd1085:
Try volume up and power on plug in...that's how it works on mine
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkylerWallace:
I've tried holding the Volume Up buttom then inserting micro-usb. I've also tried holding Volume Up+Power then inserting micro-usb. Neither work. Do I have to install drivers or something?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
That's not pretty badly.

download laf, aboot, boot and maybe recovery and flash them.

If you wait few minutes I can build a package for you.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkylerWallace:
I saw your posts in another thread. I would be grateful if you could build a package for me. Keep in mind I do not seem to have access to download mode. I can only seem to access my phone through Ubuntu in partitions (sbd) and fastboot.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Let us try fist fastboot first.

Does it state: "fastboot" on the g2 ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkylerWallace:
Not anymore. It was in fastboot earlier. I did something (I think recovery-related) and now the logo just flashes when I try to power it on. Do you want me to get it back into fastboot? To my knowledge, fastboot mode seems to be a step-down in this phone's case. I'm used to fastboot on Motorola devices.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bender_007:
Fastboot would be great.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkylerWallace:
I'll try to retrace some steps to get it into fastboot. Gonna have to close Windows and open Ubuntu. Gimme some time.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkylerWallace:
****, it seems I can't even get into fastboot anymore.

[EDIT]

Using the files you gave me, I'm getting Input/Output errors in the terminal when dd'ing the boot.img and laf.img files.

Sadly, it looks like the boot and laf partitions are corrupted :/
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkylerWallace:
So I gave it a day and used the terminal in Ubuntu to flash all the correct partitions. I got it in download mode and ended up into some "All Auto Test" menu. Got past this and got to the home screen with 100% data integrity. So yeah fixed! If anyone is in a similar situation and needs help, let me know.

When i do

# gdisk -l /dev/sdb

i dont get any output

however when i try to dd write to partitions it does work, but i dont know what the ending numbers should be so i have tried so many times now that the LG logo doesnt even appear anymore. One combination got me to fastboot, i really wish i could have stayed there.... this really sucks
[HTC One X+] Lukas94:
Hello,

I bought a broken One X+ (Digitizer is faulty) on eBay. The Phone bootet full up but there was a Pin lock, so i decided to go to BL and do a Factory Reset unfortunately this deleted the whole OS and I think also the Recovery. So i tried to install JB via RUU but it stucks at "waiting for Bootloader" and after a while the RUU stops working: Error 171. All drivers are correctly installed, so i tried to unlock the BL to install a custom recovery and an AOSP ROM. But every time i flash the unlock.bin and confirm it on the Phone it reboots and stays locked. Is there a way to get Android back running on the HOX+?

I am noticing a burned in bar on the lower half of the screen. I am not sure what to make of this? Could this just be an issue with AMOLED panels? It's not very noticeable unless you look for it, but it is definitely there. Look very hard and you'll see a bar. Would love some opinions on this.

Hi all

So I am struggeling with changing the default 'contact type' (for new contacts) on my new G3 - it seems this has been an issue with different phones since Android 2.2.. Does anybody know how to fix this?

or...

Do I need to delete or rename the LGContacts.apk?

My Moto G ran out of charge earlier so I put it on charge and it has been stuck at 0% for the last two hours, it usually takes about five minutes for it to start up again (It usually starts up automatically when charging) but nothing is happening.

[Motorola Atrix 2] cdxmantilla:
Hello again xD, i have a question,

¿i need make system,data and cache partitions after installing any rom? Plz help me :(
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Not after, before, but it's not a necessity unless you're installing additional systems for multi-booting.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Rishav Sharan:
Just to piggy back this question.

One rom installing guide told that i have to manually create the system 3 partition.

But my rooted BMM is showing system 1-6. are these just dummy entries or do the partitions exist already?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
They're just dummy entries. You only need to create additional partitions if you intend to use them. Creating additional will leave you with less room for apps, etc on system 1 so don't do that step unless you're multi booting.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Barb3r:
When installing my rom(slimkat) i couldnt figure out how to create system 3, so i flashed onto system 1. I got the error about BMM not installing

bye to bmm, install didnt take and i had to flash ics back. What did i do wrong?
[Motorola Atrix 2] h1ms3lf:
1. did you used/remove bootstrap files before install BMM?

2. did you made any changes to recovery.fstab file from etc/bmm/conf?

you suppose to change /int vfat /dev/block/mmcblk1p25 to /int auto /dev/block/userdata
[Motorola Atrix 2] dr34m3r94:
When installing a ROM by formatting /system, BMM is removed from system partition. To get it back for next boot you have to go to system keeper option in recovery and install BMM again.

I had to go to back to ICS twice when I made this mistake. Hope you don't make the same mistake next time.

Cheeers!
