No, if you are running it as a virtual machine (in VMWare Player or VirtualBox or whatever), it's like a programm you can start on your windows system. After you've unbricked your device, you can easily uninstall the VMWare Player and there is nothing from Linux anymore.

@sunandroid My phone is booting at LG logo and download mode is working , so i see this method isn't for me BUT .kdz method doesn't work , firmware stuck at 24% or 49% , and one LP firmware worked but it just keep rebooting after the process.

Factory reset doesn't work , the blue line down isn't there and it reboot again and again.. Is there a way to boot in fastboot using buttons combinations ? Tried multiple things but didn't work.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
What button combo do you use to factory reset?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soufiansky:
Volume down + power button , just after LG logo i press them again , then yes , yes , it shows the green android but there is no factory reset :confused: ( the blue line isn't there if you know what i'm talking about)

Tried also the same thing then power 3 times , same also..

Can anyone help me out on a D801?

The phone goes into bootloop... the LG logo appears for a few seconds, disappears, then reappears. I'm not able to go into download mode, no fastboot, and also no recovery. When I do the volume down + power button combo I can get to the factory reset screen but selecting Yes both times just sends me back to the same LG logo bootloop.

What is weird is that my phone use to display as QHSUSB_BULK and it would bring up a bunch of drives... but now that doesn't happen and my phone isnt even showing in device manager anymore. Also, my phone used to show the first "Download Mode" splash screen when I held the volume up button while plugging it into my comp but it just does the same bootloop. No more errors... just bootloops...

This worked fine for me every time I used it. Try to flash a KK ROM again, but do a CSE flash.

Yeah I guess you have to do as you mentioned. Only thing you could try before doing so:

Hold down the power button for 20 secs. Then wait a few secs and try to get into download mode. Maybe the device shows up as qhusb_bulk again.

Since yesterday my phone is stuck, only LG Logo, no download mode, no factory mode, no recovery, no nothing but the lg logo.

I tried thw mentioned tool and what the OP posted here, but in both methods I get stuck:

The LG G2 is not recognized as as drive anymore, the one thats supposed to have many partitions, sdb, sdx, what so ever, numbered from 1 to 36.

Without this I cant continue.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply

I have a windows machine, yes, but no idea how to open my device. I hope this wont be necessary...

What happened last: After using a very laggy rom for over a week, I decided to flash PA. I wiped everything except the format, so data/media is kept... i guess that the flash didnt went well, and after reboot im stuck at LG logo... manually putting it into recovery isnt working anymore.

When I connect the phone to the pc only the "LGE Android MTP Device" is identified but with a fail (yellow triangle and exclemation mark in device manager).

SRK Tool -> Disk Managment Tool shows only Disk0 which is c:

In the virtual machine, under VM> removable devices I can see the LGE Android, and when I connect it (disconnect from host) nothing changes, no sdx, sdb or anything like this, only sda (C:)

I installed the LG Drivers but it wont help. Here I am, with a bricked phone :)

What do you think?

Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
Are you sure you can't get into download mode? (hold down the power button for 20 seconds (not shorter!), then holding the vol+ button and connect the phone to a computer)?

I could imagine that you can enter the recovery after holding down the powerbutton for 20 seconds with the button combo. I think so, because the kernel must be working somehow since it still manages to get shown properly on windows.

If none of the options above is working, the pin shortage is probably the easiest way to get into qhsusb_bulk and start freshly (following this thread).

OMFG I didnt know about the 20s power only button, Im indeed in download mode now, my situation is better then I thought , thank you ;) !!!! Im so confused right now, where to continue from here, can you point me to a thread? Wow Im so released being in download mode now, thanks a lot :)

Bah, just tried and leaving the phone off for the night and no dice... Still bootloops on the LG logo. Hopefully I can fix it once I get into QHSUSB mode.

Anyways, thanks for your response. I know what I have to do, just waiting on some tools so I don't scratch up my phone when I open it.

*EDIT*

If anyone was wondering, I was able to get my phone into download mode.... I took apart the back of my phone, unhooked the battery, plugged it in and tried to short the two certain circuits. Once I got it into QHSUSB mode, the next step would be to move the partitions over but for some reason, the partitions on my phone kept disappear and reappearing after about 5 seconds. So I did what I could and kept sending the commands, 90% of them not going through. After doing all that, ... IT STILL DIDNT WORK. I was at a loss... I thought I would try EVERYTHING again so I went back into Windows, opened up SRK Tool and tried the unbrick option and it WORKED! Before, it would always crash so I assumed it never worked. (Also note, the disk drive that would show up changed from DiskDrive1 (before shorting it into QHSUSB and rewriting the partitions) to DiskDrive2. Anyways, SRK Tool then worked for some reason and I was able to get into Download Mode and flash the stock 30b firmware through the LG Flash tool. I'm so glad it's over with....

Hi All, I have a D800 that keeps me stuck. If I plug the charger in it the red led blink 8 times then stops, and restarts blinking 8 times.

When I take the phone apart and take out the battery if I put it back in the phone starts up and after the LG logo appears it goes to fastboot mode for 3-4 seconds then powers off.

If I unplug the battery and plug the phone to USB and short the capacitors the screen lights up and I get the qhsusb 9008 in device manager. If I try more the qhsusb 9008 disappears and the lots of disk drives appear but also only for 4-5 seconds then disappears. It seems this few seconds are not enough to flash the images. Srk tool starts but flashes only the first or second partition. I'm sure about that as I can enter hardware key control mode and now it seems totally different than it initially was. LG flash tool can not connect to the phone.

Do you have the same experience (phone reboots after 3-4 seconds)? Do you have any idea how I can solve this issue?

fastboot flash aboot aboot.img

fastboot erase boot etc...

But now it is just stuck on the lg logo, and when when I try fastboot commands, it just says waiting for device.

Installed adb drivers and lg drivers, uninstalled and installed them again, changed cabel and pc.

when I connect the phone to pc the phone powers on to the lg logo and nothing more and the pc does not detect it, not even in device managers

I have LG L70 d320n with Demigod Crash Handler problem.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sunandroid:
The disks in linux are labeled like this. The system drive is usually sda with it's partitions. sdb is usually the drive connected via usb. But if you don't get a list of at least like 15 partitions when typing

gdisk -l /dev/sdb , sdb is probably not your phone. So it's either not connected properly or even the usb connection is faulty. Have you tried different cables or a different usb port? Are you running linux in a vm or as an installation?

Little Advice Needed - Which Partition Image Files To Be Used

I have a D802 on which i installed a custom rom via TWRP. Before flashing the custom rom i had taken a nandroid backup which when later restored , resulted in a brick. Since then every time i try to boot the device normally, i get the "boot security error" followed by a dimly lit screen and the device being recognised as QHSUSB_BULK.

Interesting thing is that download mode is still accessible, however when i try to flash a kitkat kdz, LG Flash Tool fails and the download mode progress bar stays at 0%.

Now i am planning to follow the method explained in this thread but i am concerned about what .img files to use.

My question is, since i was on a custom rom, can i use the aboot.img, boot.img and laf.img files from the stock kitkat kdz rom i was previously on. Or do i have to flash any files from the custom rom (the one i was using) first. I do not want to mess things up and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You have to use the files extracted from the stock kdz!

But before you do so, I recommend you trying to recover your phone with the srk tool.
