Hi guys i accidently bricked my lg g2 (d620r) trying to unlock my bootloader (i was in official 5.0.2 and i tryed aboot4.img for kitkat) and after a lot of days i finally found out how to unbrick it...

So first you have to make sure the phone's battery is at 0% (you can test this by connecting your phone to your pc with the battery in if it power up without pressing any button then its at 0% if its not then it will do absolutely nothing)

so your phone WILL power up but it will imediately power off again because the battery is at 0% so unplug it and wait till a 0% battery icon appear i the screen

when you see the icon press and hold the volume up button and plug the phone to your pc

now you are in download mode and you can flash a .kdz file (lollipop or kitkat)

ps: this method worked for me and i have my phone back, i dont know if it work for you too

ps:if you dont know how to get your battery to 0% just leave it in the phone and it will drain itself(i think)that worked for me

ps2:my english is not good enough so forgive me if i made some mistakes and correct me

Thank you and i hope you can get your phone back too :)
[LG G2 Mini] Monster014:
You don't need to discharge it..

1) take out the battery

2) plug the phone in a PC via micro USB

3) while holding volume up, put in the battery

4) screen whill pop up asking you to hold volume up, relise it and press it agen till you get in download mode.
[LG G2 Mini] ByN3r0:
i have the same problem, but i cannot resolve with this method...

someone tried USB JIG method? it worked? please let me know
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
Are you sure that your battery is FULLY uncharged?
[LG G2 Mini] bartvp:
my download mode isn't working in any way, i think i should sent it for repair :(

Thank you !
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
you're wellcome :)

Did you unbriced your phone easy?
[LG G2 Mini] shalev1418:
YUP!
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
Ok thank you. Im glad my method works :)

Hello, I am also having the same problem and could not solve = [

could anyone help?
[LG G2 Mini] deviato:
Thank you!

I hard bricked my D620R for the same reason, and was about to send to repair.

Then I tried this way, I waited a day with the battery pulled on, and it got discharged. Finally I was able to get into download mode!
[LG G2 Mini] bartvp:
You should send it i've done it too. I think your phone is back within 3 weeks :(

I'm also waiting until my 3 weeks are finished :)
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
Ιm glad i helped enjoy your phone :)
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
So can you tell us what the cost is for repair? and if LG said anything about trying to unlock your bootloder/ root it/flashing other roms etc.?
[LG G2 Mini] bartvp:
I don't know. I read somewhere that it costs around $30-50. But maybe my warranty isn't void, because they can't check (maybe) my phone is rooted, so it costs nothing.

The only thing I can do is waiting and waiting...

I will never do this . You only brick it harder i think
[LG G2 Mini] papzi57:
HI!

I have D620r. I tryed fw update with LG MobileSupportTool. It stuck at 2, or 3%, never goes up!! :(

Now, when I try power up, it show only: fastboot operation. I don't have download mode.

I left battery 0%, but this metod don't work too...

It is possible flash stock fw in fastboot mode, or it is bricked?
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
REQUEST: Can someone who have a bricked device record a video unbricking it with me method, so more users can easily unbrick their devices too just by watching the video tutorial?

Thanks
[LG G2 Mini] chacks1:

I tried to follow your steps but i can go download mode the smartphone start to charge :crying:
[LG G2 Mini] chacks1:
help pls

anyone knows how to install a ROM with the phone on scares me turn it off because it was lucky to keep on achieving at the moment is in safe mode
[LG G2 Mini] Cafi96:
It's not possible. If you try, ROM's filesystem will replace the files you are using, making the device unusable (soft-bricked).
[LG G2 Mini] chacks1:
I think I lost file aboot.img someone can share and explain how to place it in my phone I think that's the reason why I can not enter the download mode

even not turn off my mobile is in safe mode

[LG G2 Mini] AleHC98:
A question

What if my phone doesn't boot? the only thing it shows is the no battery icon.
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
Same thing, press and hold the volume up button and plug the phone to your pc
[LG G2 Mini] maluc:
I also bricked my G2mini now :) I tried everything to get into download mode, but nothing happens - does not matter what I try. The PC doesn´t make any noise when I plug the phone in. Only the Symbol when i plug in without the battery appears.....anyone can help in this issue?
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
if you see the symbol you can follow my method but make sure your battery is FULLY uncharged (you can wire a led to your battery and leave it for a few hours untill the led fades then follow the guide) :)
[LG G2 Mini] prisma.satu:
i have follow your guide, but, i still cannot get into download mode, symbol 0% has appear and then lost,
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
try this

remove the battery

connect phone to pc and press and hold volume up

connect the battery to the phone (do not let the volume up)

what happened?
[LG G2 Mini] Velfess:
Same thing happened to me.

Tried this method- when I put in battery screen just goes to being black again.

I'll try to get my battery to 0 with LED and I'll try again.

EDIT: Is there any way to discharge faster? It looks like I'm gonna be discharging this battery with LED for ages.
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
cool try it!

yes find a working g2 mini borrow it and turn on wifi, bluetooth, data connection and a lot of apps... it will discharge in seconds :P but you must find a g2 mini first and i dont know if its easy for you. :)

ps. try the main method first if it fails then try the second one.

EDIT: Can you please take a video unbricking your phone, people may find it useful.

Thanks
[LG G2 Mini] prisma.satu:
nothing happen..

when i connect phone to the pc without the battery and press and hold volume up, its showing attention if no battery detected,

then i connect battery to the phone, the attention disappear, and showing symbol 0%.

when i repeat again, the result has same..
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
thats strange, is your volume up button working?
[LG G2 Mini] prisma.satu:
yeah, that's make me confuse..

nothing problem with the button, all button are working..
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
so sorry i cant help you.

you can send your phone to lg and tell them nothing about rooting bootoader etc. They might give you a new one
[LG G2 Mini] prisma.satu:
no problem.. :) Thank you for your respons :D

i have sent my phone to LG service center yesterday, i can't show the receipt of purchase, but they still process to check my phone.. and i hope they replace with a new one..
[LG G2 Mini] Velfess:
Done. Thank you so much OP! After two days of draining battery with CPU fan it finally dropped to 0 and I was able to enter download mode!
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
No problem :)
[LG G2 Mini] panagiotisden2:
So glad i helped you :)
[LG G2 Mini] CrimsonDdraig88:
Doesn't work for me.

Sorry for replying to a kinda old thread!

Unfortunately your steps aren't working for me.. Maybe I misunderstood something in your thread? So I'm going to try to explain what I understood from reading your thread..

1. Get your phone to 0% battery (to check, charge your phone and if it shows 0% battery thing and the icon disappears again, then it's on 0%. If it doesn't, then it's above 0%.

2. Once you got that 0% battery, plug your phone to your PC and then unplug it again once the icon dissapeared.

3. Wait for the 0% icon to appear somehow with the phone unplugged.

4. Once it shows up, hold volume up button and then plug the phone to your PC.

5. You're in download mode, you know what to do.

Okay so.. I don't understand the third step.. Can you please explain to me?

TL;DR

Not working for me.

-------------------------------------------

I brought the phone to a service center, they replaced the motherboard and I had to pay since my warranty expired 31 July..
[LG G2 Mini] Gpx85:
Hi.

So my phone does everything except show the 0% icon once I disconnect it from the pc... :crying:

Any suggestions?
[LG G2 Mini] CrimsonDdraig88:
Okay, use my previous reply as a reference in this. (I mailed him with the same steps and almost the same words and this is what he replied)

Hey Crimson,

So step one is correct

step two messed up... if and only if your battery is at 0%, plug your phone to your pc holding volume up and it will enter to download mode... that simple.. you know what to do then...

and forget steps 3,4 and 5.

i know the thread does not make a lot of sense and i should correct it but i dont have the time. Sorry about it..

Ok follow what i said and reply to me what happened.
[LG G2 Mini] Gpx85:
Battery is at 0%: if I press the power button, it shows the 0% icon for one or two seconds, then goes black.

I pressed vol up and plugged to the PC but does nothing.

For your reference, if I press no button and connect to the PC, it shows again the 0% icon.
[LG G2 Mini] CrimsonDdraig88:
[MENTION=706342]Gpx85[/MENTION]

You have the exactly same problem as me, Gpx85! I sent my phone to the service center though. Not going to root it anytime soon..

Hello. This procedure solved my problem with D618: youtube.com/watch?v=FXs7NAaTz4M&t=0s
[LG G2 Mini] ultraRunn3r:
great stuff ... this worked

First let me say I used Download mode before ... and in some cases it really worked without having an empty battery (that is connect via usb to pc, press-n-hold UP, then insert battery).

But in this case I had corrupted aboot as well and could not get into Download mode in any other way ... so drained battery completely then following these steps was successful!!!

THANKS SO MUCH!!!
[LG G2 Mini] batory:
in my case

D620r POLAND branded to PLAY Android 5.0.2

1) fresh flash with D620r20b_00.kdz

2) root by kingroot

3) flash with aboot4.img (yeah kitkat)

4) reboot by adb and black screen one of the toughest brick I have got at this model

soooooooooooo

in my case drain baterry to almost 0% was not enough, after several boot with almost empty battery at another g2mini was not enough, there was still to much energy left, so I attach a LED to + and - connector at battery and let to flash several hours.

Next first to chceck was connection USB to computer and phone, so there was standard "no battery icon", so VOL+ and put battery, there was no reaction with DONLOAD MODE SCREEN but computer recognize some USB device.

I left phone and battery put together for next ONE day, and try screen from time to time how low battery can be by pressing POWER BUTTON

After maybe 40hours of very deep discharge at screen was information 0% but also was RED "EXLAMATION MARK"!!!!!!!!!!

at this stage battery allow me to enter to download mode

1) usb to computer

2) usb to phone but without battery, so there was "no battery" screen

3) volume + and hold it

4) put battery, screen with "0% and red exclamation "and short after "download mode" was at screen

5) flashtool2104, with original KDZ time to repair was lest then 3 min

SO I have another opportunity to get another brick :)

I know Tasker has been around for a while and a lot of people swear by it. I downloaded the 7-day trial and am trying it out, seems pretty powerful but also pretty complex. Wondering if people are using it and what for?
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] Giocarro:
These are the simple things I use Tasker for:

- Lower sound volume at night and bring it back at morning.

- Enable vibration when I set an high ringer volume and disable when I lower it.

- Hourly chime (voice announcement).

- Pop-up GPS settings when I launch Maps.

- Play a reminder sound every three minutes when there are missed calls, SMS or mails.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] lilvanmuzz:
these are the things I use it for:

-turn on nfc when I use the google wallet app/ and turn it off when i exit the app

- turn on gps when I open the maps app/ and turn it off when i exit the app

-turn on mobile hotspot when i enter the car and it connects to my car's bluetooth/ turns it off when disconnected from the car's bluetooth

limitless possibilities.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] JoeFCaputo113:
[MENTION=5002647]Giocarro[/MENTION] How do you make a "GPS pop-up"? I have Tasker set to just automatically turn on GPS when I open maps... but I think a popup is better bc sometimes I'm just searching for a location so I don't need it to automatically turn on location every time I enter maps.

[MENTION=793608]lilvanmuzz[/MENTION] How did you set up the last one with turning on bluetooth automatically and turning it off automatically when entering/exiting your car's bluetooth?!

Thanks guys :)
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] Faspaiso:
Application -> Maps -> Taskname -> Settings -> Locations settings. :)

In bluetooth, click the invert as a exit task. That means, that when bluetooths gets disconnected. Then you just chose what it should do and you of course choose turn BT off.

You can even choose a name, so it only turn off when you DC from car BT and not all BT devices.

- maximum brightness in Gallery, switch back to auto brightness on close

- set Lockscreen Timeout to maximum on trusted Wifi, switch to immediately on untrusted

- miscellaneous DND schedules (Workdays/Weekend)

- DND on Calendar Event, deactivate DND at Event end

- set 7 seconds screen timeout when placing device at wireless charging station, set to 1 minute after 10 seconds

- increase screen timeout in specific apps (Gmail, Facebook, Feed Reader..), decrease on close
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] JoeFCaputo113:
Some great ideas right there buddy :good:
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] tykob:
-silent mode at work --> loud on exit

-auto rotate enabled when using galery, photos, youtube, remote desktop --> locked on exit

-30 minute screen timeout in certain apps --> 1 min on exit

-GPS on when in Google & Maps --> disabled on exit

-NFC on when in wallet -- off on exit

-a whole project just for nighttime silent mode since the times change from day to day for me.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] Cmotion:
Thanks for these! Definitely some great ideas. Just wondering, what is DND? Also, I'm trying to set up a profile for when I use my wireless charger in my car (as opposed to my other wireless charger)... This may be better suited to ask in a Tasker forum, but I'll give it a shot here. So my phone is oriented vertically in my car charger vs. flat on the other charger. Is there a way to only trigger the profile when it's charging wirelessly in a vertical position?
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] tkwan8888:
Any way to do this with non-root on Lollipop? Worked great with Kit-Kat. Lollipop took it away.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] lilvanmuzz:
I don't think it can be done without root.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] Fruktsallad:
Yes it can, by emulating manual input using the tasker plugin AutoInput. Did it myself on the S6 before root was available.
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] Cmotion:
Just wanted to write an update on my experience with Tasker over the last few weeks... Wow! What an amazing application. You are only limited by your imagination, or, more so, just the ability to figure out exactly how to make it do what you want. I have profiles to turn off my wifi when the screen is off, also night profiles to dim the screen/silence notifications, etc. Those are all common easy things to set up. Then I really got into it - set up a profile that triggers when I tap my nfc keychain to enter car mode. I have a wireless charging dock in my car, and when I get texts they are read aloud to me, and then I'm asked if I want to respond. If I say yes, I then speak my message. My message is read back to me and I'm asked if I want to send or edit. This is a great, truly hands free way of using your phone (especially with new or already existing laws regarding use of phones in cars). I also just set it up (using the autovoice, autolaunch and autoinput plugins) to control the Sonos system in my house. I can say "Play Sonos in the kitchen," or the patio, or the family room, and it will automatically do it. I could also place nfc tags in those rooms to trigger the same tasks as well. Are all these things "necessary"? Maybe not, but for me the coolness factor is off the chart. [emoji2]
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] JoeFCaputo113:
The coolness factor of Tasker and what you can do is wayyyy beyond off the charts!!
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] suparuss:
A bit late to the party but here goes:

- toggle autorotate if I shake the phone left-right

- if connected to car bluetooth, set variable %CarMode to 1, which I then use in other profiles. On exit (bluetooth disconnect) set %CarMode to 0

- if text message received and %CarMode is 1, read the text aloud (read texts aloud while driving)

- monitor Llama notification to see what location I'm in (based on Cell towers). I think Llama is more accurate and easier to use then Tasker for cell towers and volume profiles

- If leaving Llama location "Work", during the week, after 4pm, send my wife a text to say I'm leaving work. Randomize the content of that text from a list, so it doesn't ever seem automated to her

- log my work hours onto a Google Drive spreadsheet automatically by using the Llama location

- Perform a weekly reboot, on Sundays at 5am. I just think it's good to do every now and again

- Last gasp alert - If my battery level reaches 2%, get a GPS fix and send the location to my tablet. That way if I've misplaced the phone and it runs out of battery, I'll know where it is

- At night, enable Lux plugin, which removes blue light from the screen to help you fall asleep quicker if you're like me and insist on playing on phone at night. Disable in the morning. I do this because I think it uses battery during the day otherwise

- if headset plugged in, show a custom scene I created to choose my music/listening app

- watch Chrome notification for one that says I'm in incognito mode. Put the phone on silent mode if that happens....for browsing stuff......

- If my battery has dropped more than 15% in the last hour, alert me. This helps me spot crappy apps that are sucking my power

- turn my phone onto silent if I turn the phone off, to disable the annoying boot animation sound

- if I use the camera app, turn the phone onto silent, to prevent shutter sound

- a custom clipboard manager that stores the last 5 things I copied, let's me choose any of them when I want to paste something

- If I copy something on my laptop, send it to my phone

- watch the latest USd-GBP exchange rate, watch the latest stock price for some stock I own. Work out my GBP stock value and tell me daily how much they're worth and if I've made/lost money
[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] JoeFCaputo113:

[Galaxy S6 Themes and Apps] tykob:
Nice list btw. Wondering why you don't just delete the boot sounds as opposed to making an extra task to silence your phone on shut down. I'm assuming if you have this many tasks, you must be rooted, but maybe not?

This may be the wrong forum because my phone doesn't look like the icon for this board - if so, please could someone direct me towards the correct forum? My phone is an XDA Orbit.

Anyway, it came with a screen protector - which was a nice touch. The only problem is it's pretty poor (still better than nothing, mind). Can anyone suggest where, in the UK, to get a good one? I think I've used a Martin Fields one before and a Writeshield, but I can't remember how I liked either one since I don't remember which was which!

So, where can I get a good screen protector for an XDA Orbit in the UK?
