(How to Fix bricked LG G2 stuck in Recovery after taking OTA update

If you have LG G2 rooted and installed with TWRP recovery then suddenly and automatic OTA update came around but then its too late that your phone just stuck in TWRP Recovery. If you bricked your phone after doing an OTA Update with root and TWRP installed and happens that it stuck at recovery. This can be fixed either by installing the official firmware via flashtool using the KDZ file but sometimes your phone can’t boot into Download mode and it won’t connect to the computer, so this could be a very frustrating situation.

Before doing anything else you may first try this, this has been reportedly worked on some LG G2 users at Androidcentral forum and thanks to the folks at XDA-developers for this workaround.

On your TWRP terminal command type this codes.

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

then hit enter

type

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

Then hit enter and reboot.)

A friend of a friend cracked his phone already.

It dropped out of his pocket when he sat down at a table. Fell about 2 feet onto a cement floor. Seems to have hit the corner.

What sucks even more.. is that his case for his phone arrived a few hours later.

I'm the poor soul who cracked his phone. I sadly didn't feel it sliding until it was too late. I'm now waiting to see what T-Mobile can do since the phone just freaking shipped for some.

Moral of the story don't buy a Samsung doh. Lol sorry Samsung police had to take a joke. That royally socks!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Biker1:
That sux. Great promo ad for Samsung's durability lol!

I didn't know these Samsungs crack so easily after seeing some video drop tests where the S6 Edge did pretty good. I guess it depends where they hit. Something about a phone sandwiched between 2 sides of glass makes me wonder though.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] SniperXX:
T-Mobile is back ordered and Assurant wont have stock for a few weeks. The two Samsung reps weren't much help. They didn't know what the cost would be or how long they'd need it.

Make sure you keep these phones in a case, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Ouch, just stick it in a case and never take it out, and pretend its not waterproof anymore.

I guess gorilla glass 5 is no stronger the the 1st 4. Probably the same glass they just add a number every new phone cycle. I think they all scratch at 9h anyway and obviously a drop is outta the question
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] daLareid:
DAMN SON!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] ibcenu:
Thanks for the info! There doing what Apple has been
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
Has Gorilla Glass 5 even been released yet? If so, Corning doesn't know it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
I wasn't going to use a case. I just changed my mind.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] _Dennis_:
Gorilla glass 4 not 5.

Also gorilla glass can't make glass into metal, it can only harden it a bit (usually against scratches) dropping it on concrete still will shatter it (incidentally it would have scratched and bent metal most likely).

I don't like glass on the backs of phones, but it's better then metal for some things (wireless charging). I prefer high quality plastic but the market says it's not 'premium' enough, so we get glass or metal.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] xgman:
So this is a great example of why they should start making phone parts like built in cases so we can enjoy the designs without having to cover them up. It makes no sense.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] tiskewlio:
Yep, the Amex benefits like extended warranty as well as rental insurance have come in handy a few times. Not many know about it and most major cc companies offer similar benefits.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] viperblood:
You could say it was dead on arrival that you were concerned that the security seal was broken and the box was all jacked up from shipping :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Nippero:
Ugh damn. I actually didnt realize the back was glass. I already have two scratches in mine so I assumed it must be some kinda soft plastic.

Sorry for your device though :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] New Rising:
That's why I wouldn't even use the phone till I had a case and screen protector.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
Ouch!!

That is for the LCD. It looks like OP has just cracked the back glass which is much cheaper. But DAMN, I would not want to be paying that to repair the LCD
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] meyerweb:
That's the price we pay (pun intended) for ever slimmer phones. My first Android, an HTC Evo, was screwed together, and the screen was three discrete layers. Now everything is glued together, and it's pretty much impossible to separate the glass from the display, so the entire assembly has to be replaced as a unit.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] djavs:
do you have a link for each of the above. i;ve got a hairline crack getting bigger and bigger. Is this a easy job to replace for a s7edge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Crewcabon24s:
I've also cracked mine setting in my truck with sweat pants. The phone fell on the concrete. The back is completely shattered. 70 dollars to ship it to Samsung and have the glass replaced and then they ship it back. 10 to 11 days round trip.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] netnerd:
most credit cards cover accidental damage ! check your credit card benefit !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] jimsey:
my back glass just cracked too, phone had been in my front trouser pocket and sat at a desk for a few hours, checked my phone and noticed the crack from the camera lens to the edge.

very upset as it's not been dropped or mishandled, paid deposit with credit card but it's a network subsidised handset.

i'll wait a few weeks to see if glass pops up on ebay and if not send it to samsung. if anyone find a link to the gold coloured glass please let me know

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
while you guys are worried about your back glass, I managed to do this today.....just sent a text, was going to put the phone back in my pocket and my friend accidentally hit the phone out of my hand and onto a concrete driveway....

here's to hoping Assurion has the S7 Edge in stock for insurance replacement (Sprint)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
Just looking at that makes me want to cry.

How did you manage that?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
accidentally knocked out of my hand at about waist level, onto a concrete driveway. hit on the corner and then over screen first. it's non-functioning currently, screen flickers a lot and comes out maybe 1 out of every 50 unlock attempts.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] blwc:
I've only ever dropped 2 phones flat on their front: an iPhone 4s which survived except for a tiny scratch on the screen, years ago and 2 months ago I dropped my Sony Xperia z3 flat on its front, also from waist-high...it survived too...but had only a tempered glass screen protector...which protected the front just fine.

I hope the Edge isn't more fragile...but it seems like it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] pnda:
The back is not gorilla glass.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Player04:
ouch!!!!!!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Beefheart:
Ouch, that seriously makes me cringe. A classic example of why I never have a phone worth this much money without a case on it. I had my case purchased and delivered prior to the 8th and the phone was in it within 30 seconds of the SIM card being inserted!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
yeah, I paid the price for that one. $200 deductible and 5-7 day backorder because Asurion doesn't have them in stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] DaztheD:
There's a drop test on YouTube and it did pretty well to be honest. I think we just have to accept it with these phones to a certain extent.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] daryllh:
I never understood the phone in front pocket while sitting thing...especially for a guy. Seems the least convenient, least comfortable place for your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
I think people are a bit stupid , you pay 800$ for phone and it has a back glass and a great body to ratio screen which means it's quite fragile and you dont use any case ? Or at least a glass screen protector ? Yes i know you want that premium feel but look now what you just did to your phone....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] netnerd:
maybe you will understand it. put in back pocket, sit on it, break the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] blwc:
Playing devil's advocate...but how much protection would a plain TPU case have provided this phone if it suffered the same fall?

That said...yes...I would be slapping a case and a screen protector on it the moment I take it out of the box. I have a Spigen transparent case waiting for the phone's arrival. So that's how to enjoy the design, but protect it even to some extent.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Zer0_:
My girlfriend never uses a case and shes always upgrading her phone every year; She's been lucky and has never dropped it or caused any significant damage to her device.

**** just happens and it sucks, but its never on purpose.

However, I agree that if you are going to spend that much on hardware, you should always do your best to protect it in case of accidental damage.

...Now only if my gf could understand that concept... :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] osmosizzz:
Man, I'd honestly check my credit card company as they offer free insurance on phones. Just found out my Wells Fargo card covers my s7 edge damage up to $600. If I didn't have that, then I'd have square trade. 5 bucks a month and a piece of mind. Cracked my s6 edge last year. Samsung charged me 241 to replace the screen, square trade refunded me 166 since the deductible is $75..better than $200 deductible.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] iiNFAMOUS CHRiS:
mine wasn't $800, but I understand where you're coming from. Stupid mistake on my part, but nobody expects these things to happen.

Good idea, but I paid cash for the phone so that won't assist me at all lol. Just gotta wait for Asurion to get them in stock at this point. Case already ordered for the new one. LifeProof case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
Me too. But I still use it out of the case sometimes when at home. However, I have now got insurance which covers accidental damage with an excess fee of only £25, so if I did drop it and damage it I would be covered.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sonhy:
bit harsh calling ppl stupid for choosing to not to use a case :o even if the stats are like 50% of s7 owners have cracked screens! no way ill use a case!

there are many ways to make it not slippery, like thin rubber stickers to make it slightly gripy, silicone bumpers, phone jack lanyards, etc.

if you just cant stop dropping things, no worries, get a moto droid turbo2 with indestructible screens, easy.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Beefheart:
I wouldn't call people stupid, they can do what they want with their phones. But in my personal view it's absolutely f******g barmy to own a phone like this and not give it some means of drop protection. And it's not as if you need to make it look like some kind of 1970s sci-fi communicator to do so (read Otterbox), there are many subtle and stylish covers out there that will do the job providing you don't plan on dropping it from an upstairs window.

i guess my point of view is like buying a Ferrari or something exy and putting a bonnet bra on it so you don't get pebble chips on the highway, some grandpas do it some dont :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Sim-X:
If it was me I would sell it on eBay as is, just activate a new phone on your line so the ESN is clear which keeps the value high. A repair shop will pick it up and they can deal with it. Then just buy a new one. Phone is so new even damaged should be able to get a decent amount for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nudawa:
In my country (Vietnam), the device is sold with 1 year insurance to cover drops and spills like these, along with a Gear VR and a Samsung 5200MAh Quickcharge Powerbank. The device contains Exynos chip and is sold off-contract at 18.5 millions VND (which is about ~$800).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Soufiansky:
It's weird how people took it a bit rude when i said stupid. Let's be honest now , once you hold an S6/S7 edge you know that using it without protection is dangerous , it's like you are holding only a screen with almost no edge to protect it if you drop it..So its obvious that those kind of phones needs a case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
Ummmm, what were you expecting?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] NTT_Leader:
I still don't understand why would you go and spend 800$ on a phone and then put a screen protectors on the front, back and put all that in a case.....?! What is the point of having a nice looking phone and put it in a case?

I do not blame it when people want to feel safe about their phones but for me personally there is no point. Just be more careful and if you drop it, you drop it. I have used various xperia phones and dropped some of these numerous times never got a broken screen or back. I broke the back of my z2 last year, but only because the phone was in my back pocket and I sat on the edge of the phone with my whole weight while I was jumping over a street fence.

The point I am trying to make is that these things happen and it is impossible to avoid dropping something at some point it is just a chance...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] nsdapm27:
I dropped my phone and it completely shattered, this phone is very fragile
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] netnerd:
that's why you get a clear case or Samsung protection case. your phones still look sexy !

what I don't understand is people have money to buy a Mercedes but don't want to pay 2250$ extra for the safety package like auto brake on freeway or auto brake on human.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hlenforcer:
I think people are a bit stupid, you pay 800$ for phone that has extra premium feel due to more fragile materials and a great body to screen ratio and you DO use any case, which kills the premium feel and the great body to screen ratio... I use smartphones since 2010 and never broke any glass... There are ppl out there being able to handle devices without dropping them 10 times a year... If you don't count to this group of ppl, maybe it would be smart to just buy more stable devices which look kinda the same like premium devices attached to ugly cases...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
I dropped a heavy knife on my fingerprint reader (it landed point down) which broke the fingerprint reader. I rang a Samsung Repair centre in Manchester to enquire about the cost of repairing the home button. To my suprise, they told me they have a limited offer on until Sunday. They are replacing all S7 and S& Edge handsets free of charge no matter what the issue is, even if it is customer's fault. So they told me to get down there and they would replace it for free. I got down and they had ran out of stock. But because they has told me to go down, they advised me that when stock comes back in on Monday they will keep one behind for me to collect, as a gesture of goodwil. He said he should not be doing it but is going to do it for me.

I'm not sure if this offer is limited to this one store, the whole of the UK or worlwide. But wanted to let you all know in case you wanted to try it with your local Samsung repair center.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

I disagree. I'm clumsy with phones, but why should I choose a differerent phone when I can get the awesome s7 Edge and put a case on it. It's not stupid in any way whatsoever. Just because you don't drop your phone, doesn't mean people that do are stupid for buying the phone. That is a stupid comment.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] hlenforcer:
No, the comment calling ppl stupid because they buy such a phone without bumper is stupid... Much more stupid than giving the advice to just stick with a device that matches the own kind of usage/handling skills...

I think I got the last free exchange from the Manchester service center on Friday, had to swap my gold one for a black one, but got a no questions asked free exchange and I didn't even buy my s7 from Samsung. Can't recommend the Samsung service centre enough, really nice guys, but the replacement is only available in the service center upstairs in the Arndale, not the one downstairs in the entrance to the Arndale.

I seen you, I was sat next to you. You got the last one before me because I had to run to the toilet lol

But They've told me to go back on Monday for a replacement. The offer ended but because they had told me to go down they are still upholding their offer.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Beefheart:
Let us know if knox trip results in any issues from them. I assume they won't even bother checking but it will be interesting if they do and let you have the new phone anyway.

I've never heard of a knox trip in the UK resulting in a refusal of repair. It certainly didn't happen with me and my S4, they replaced my system board on that no problem about 18 months ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
Well when I took it in on Friday they had a thourough look through it in the back of the store so I'm not sure if this is something they checked, but they didn't question me about it. Although this is a no questions asked exchange so I'm not sure if this means they ignore Knox. I can't get back down there now until tomorrow but will let you know how it goes.

However, while I was there, I was reading the terms for repairs and it stats that if the phone has been rooted, it will not be covered under warranty and a £20 fee will be payable.

I read something last week that stated EU law states that a phone cannot be refused hardware repair under warranty just because it has been rooted. not sure how true it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Radek Hulán:
Try "S7 agent" app in Marketplace. At least in CZ, Samsung offers 1 year accidental damage insurance for free, you just have to register for it. They will even come to your house, pick up the phone, and replace it. Great customer care.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Beefheart:
Unless someone's phone is in a completely non-functioning state, it's easy to remove root by simply flashing stock in Odin. You can certainly do that with your faulty home button as I'm sure you know. So, unless Samsung assume a tripped knox automatically equates to root having been previous installed (which, from a legal perspective, is sticky to say the least) then they have no way of proving it.
