I unlocked my LGOG today, and I decided to flash CM, so I did. Next step was installing gapps, so I downloaded .zip, and transfered it on my phone. After that I entered recovery, and saw that none of my files are visible, so i wiped everything to start over. Now my ROM isn't starting. All i can do is:
-enter fastboot
-enter recovery
What are my options to make the phone work again?
PLS help
What wipes have you made...you know..sometimes i'm trully amazed by the lazyness of some of you...if you would've used the damn search function BEFORE start flashing new roms..or even if you would've googled around...you'd found that files from 4.1.2 are seen on 4.2 on /data/media folder and you nees root explorer to get there...now...do whatever you want...from now on i will ignore stupidity,ignorance and lazyness.
Hint...kdz updater...or tinybin...but go for kdz updater...

WTH are you talking about. I flashed a lot CM phones without a problem. This is first time i face issue like this.
I can't get into Root Explorer, cos i can't boot.
KDZ etc can't recognize my phone.
I tried pushing some filles into recovery, but adb says "device offline".
tinybin method doesn't work to because PC doesn't see my phone.
Calm down man
Well honestly that happened to me too haha (newbie thing). I tried everything but as the fcking pc didn't recognize the phone i got pissed off and gave my phone to a friend (someone who knows) and he had it for a week. Had to somehow convert it to n4 in order to the pc recognize the phone then had to flash a hongkong kdz (e977) so he could use emergency mode to flash the original one. Can't give you the proper details cause he didn't give them to me but was a PAIN in the ass.
I would be very glad if u could send me somę hints
Have you tried lgnpst?

When i start LGNPST it can't recognize phone :/
Maybe I'm doing it wrong. Should I do it from fastboot, and THEN plug it to PC and start LGNPST or what?

If you shut your phone off, then start it holding both volume up and down so you get into Download mode. After that you can KDZ or LGNPST(I Think, never LGNPST, but thats how you do for KDZ restore).
since I unlocked my bootloader with freegee, I can't enter download mode (pressing both up and down vol and plugging micro USB to the phone)
why (
Turn off phone..
Pres vol down
Plug phone to pc..
Voila...download mode.

I can enter fastboot without a problem, but when i Press vol down and plug it to PC, screen goes black, and nothing happens. Is that download mode? My PC doesnt see the Phone when it's turned on.... Whyyyy

nothing happens :| ... I know how to enter download mode. I flashed 2 official ROMs and there was red writing "DOWNLOAD MODE" and now. Just black screen ... I think I'm fu**ed.
I did refer to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656275&page=13#post55838770
This is what happened:
I bricked my phone trying to install the autorec custom recovery after successfully rooting my phone. I get this " fastboot mode started" then on the 2nd line "uds_start()"
I think I am getting into download mode, it just says fastboot: processing commands.
however I don't see anything about com ports or LPT in device manager. all i see when i plug in my phone is "adb interface", and in that is "fastboot interface (google usb id). i can't find anything about my lg phone in there. so i can't reassign it to com41. is there any other workaround?
I have the same problem, look for solution.
Greetings
you have to download the laf.img and boot.img from http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware/zvc_partitions and then using fastboot, do fastboot flash laf.img and also fastboot boot.img. You should then be able to get into download mode correctly (with phone completely off, press and hold volume up button (dont let go) and also plug phone into computer using usb cable. When you see "DOWNLOAD MODE" on your phone, you can let go of the volume button. At this point, just tot back to stock.

Hi guys,
Some people including me faced Hard brick issue with LG G4, which has now two solutions. the first is temporary, i discovered it and it involves using an SD card flashed with Original EMMC dump ( i tested it with H815 ands H811) , the second needs advanced hardware, equipment and soldering skills ( JTAG) .
The solution that i want to explore is trying to revive the phone with the SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/unbrick-lg-g4-h811-9008-qualcomm-t3456417
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/unbrick-lg-g4-h815-9008-qualcomm-t3452853
The H811 dump that i made has TWRP recovery and unlocked bootlloader, so if someone know how to help that would be awesome.
How ???, its very simple. I dont have very good UNIX architecture skills , but if the SoC successfully booted from the SD card. We could see if it detects the EMMC memory ( with parted or with LS command). I personally Tried to brow /dev/block directory from TWRP i hoped to find MMCBLK1 or something but that was unsuccessful , im pretty sure the TWRP or the Soc Does not mount it automatically .
I really dont know How , but i'm very Sure that there is a Solution headed that way , So if some one is Good with Unix architecture and can find a way to soft Flash the EMMC from TWRP ( installed in the SD card ) it would be very Nice
hi,i tried the sd card method...it boots but immediately gives me secure boot error (1006).
i have an h815 bl locked
Hello
I have LG H815 and have bricked. I have installed wrong firmware so it is brick now.
I try new tot file with QPST . but it says fail what s wrong with me?
My computer is win 10 64 bit
You can fix fastboot mode with this way.
1. First you need to download stock rom that your phone supported. extract laf.img file from rom and copy it into fastboot directory
2. download LG Flash Tool and make it ready
3. open flash tool and load firmware and dll that support your model.
open command prompt and make sure you in fastboot directory where the fastboot and related files are stored.
Run following commands.
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash laf laf.img
fastboot reboot

Hurry up, now you need to start flash with lg flash tool, if device does not start into download mode. remove battery and insert again, press and hold Vol Up btn and plug USB cable it will boot into download mode. and your device com port should be 41, if not change it in device manager. and start LG Flash tool to load stock rom. once it finish loading rom your device will start and will show you factory test 1, 2, or 3. if it stuck there more than 3-5 minutes. reboot your phone. now you will have welcome screen.
I hope this will work with supported models.

lol, when you see a screen with 0% and a usb connected image, that mean your battery dead
why not just try to charge your phone? or replace a battery?

Hello, well after what happened I thought the same and went to buy another battery and when they tried it did not work, I repeat, not fastboot, no logo, no recovery, only a small vibration without screen, it is not detected by the PC in any of its modes as dead, the detail is that this happened after restarting when I had flashed bootloader N, rom V30, magiistic, I gave it restart and it did not turn on again, so I discard that it is hardware .
I think the problem was that I flashed the bootloader with full aboot, that gave me hardbrick I was told in a forum in Spanish I leave the link I hope you help me thanks

Hey MichaelCV
I have exactly the same problem with my LG G4 H815p. I was running [ROM][H815] H-ROM G4 NOUGAT [v29a] _ LG G4. The phone was up and running and last night I flashed the "LG-H815_29a_Modem_and_Bootloader.zip" to try resolve an issue I was having with the mobile data indicator not showing. I flashed the zip in TWRP, rebooted the phone and now it is bricked. I have exactly the same symptoms as you. Windows and FWUL does not see the phone, no matter what combination of keypressed etc that I try.
Lets hope we find a solution here for it.

Quick background on situation.
I was running CM13 and I still have TWRP 3.0.2-0. I wanted to try out CM14 or some other variant. I went into TWRP Recovery Mode and Advanced WIPED everything except the Internal Storage and MicroSD (this is probably where I messed up?)
Then went to install and navigate to the new rom and gapps on my microsd card. Well TWRP does not see either. It lists both of them but with 0MB and unselectable. I tried two other card, no go (all FAT32). Tried OTG with 3 different thumb drives, same results. The OS is gone and all I get of course is the white ASUS boot screen loop. ADB doesn't see any devices as well (windows device manager see no new devices when I attached the cable or when I list devices).
The only thing I can boot into is TWRP and I have tried everything to access the SD/OTG without success.
So can I assume I have bricked this thing and must go onto the IntelSOC XFStik procedure? and if so, does having a working TWRP on there force me to deviate from the normal unbrick procedure I have see here and on youtube?
Or is it something really easy that I am missing? I am fairly novice (as noted by my current situation), so maybe it's an easy fix?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
@Endosmok
You have LP version twrp recovery? , not the mmbl twrp recovery installed ? which ends in 3.0.2.M1 ??
If you do have 3.0.2.0 for LP bootloader which early versions of CM13 used , then you can fastboot flash stock recovery for 4 20 40 196 in bootloader from here....
https://mega.nz/#F!k4MHiAgL!dVuOKeH3eokcwPSNI79ffw
Thanks go to Shakalaca
To get into bootloader -- from Twrp , select reboot , select power off !
Count to ten after switching off.
Press power and vol + , release power when it vibes , release vol+ at asus screen.
Fastboot flash stock recovery for above LP .196 in bootloader , when flashed --- scroll via vol buttons to recovery and hit power. At the dead android , press power and vol+ together for 4 secs , release vol+
You should be in stock recovery now.
Scroll to `update over adb` and select .
adb sideload LP official firmware from asus for LP .196 or .198
If you need help to get thru this step , just ask:good:
Thanks for the response. I am not sure if I have the LP version. It was done back I think in April of last year... I looked around TWRP and I don't see anything except 3.0.2-0 listed.
So still a little confused. This is how i have been navigating so far....
Power button, volume up... I get to the dead robot. There I can see FASTBOOT MODE is in Red, product name, variant, IFWI, Serial #. The rest is either ? or unknown (bootloader version is unknown).
Then at the bottom i can see 'continue the fastboot process' in blue. With the volume rocker i can select, NORMAL BOOT, POWER OFF, RECOVERY MODE and RESTART BOOTLOADER. I have been select Recovery Mode to get into TWRP. Restart Bootloader gets me back to the dead robot. I would assume this is the bootloader. Normal Boot just gives me the white asus splash where it hangs. In TWRP i can see ADVANCED -> ADB Sideload, I can start and it shows starting adb sideload feature with the blue color scrolling. But still when I connect to the computer I get no connection and nothing is listed when i run adb devices.
My TWRP doesn't let me select either the OTG or MicroSD, they show 0MB but are listed. So no way for me to flash via TWRP. I figured if i can get the computer adb to recognize the phone I can try to sideload via there. But so far my device manager doesn't see a thing, not even an unknown device waiting for their proper drivers.
Where am i going wrong?

You have LP bootloader .
Type in bootloader >
fastboot devices
If recognised, fastboot flash , follow my first reply above , adb wont be recognised until stock recovery is flashed and selected.
Please try to follow what as been already advised
It is V important to follow this from above , dont miss this step ;-
To get into bootloader -- from Twrp , select reboot , select power off !

Ok... let me get this straight.... before I sound too dumb...
You want me to go into the bootloader from TWRP (using Reboot > Power Off), even though I get to TWRP via the bootloader (recovery mode) from a power on?
Also, how do I know if fastboot is enabled? Is it when I see FASTBOOT MODE in the color red on the bootloader screen with 'continue the fastboot process' at the bottom?
I've done step by step what you wrote and I get to the bootloader but fastboot devices shows nothing (I've tried different computers/cables as well). I have the computer connect to the phone w/ bootloader screen on with what i wrote about FASTBOOT MODE in red and contine the fastboot process. If that is not correct, let me know. I did hold down the Volume Up for a bit longer
I'm almost thinking I have a hardware issue with my phone. I did replace the mic with a new module prior. I never checked if the usb storage was functioning after. Though it charges via the usb (even connected to a computer it charges but not recognized as a device). I'll have to double check that as well.... not sure why the sd card is not recognized though either... never touched that area. Could be the reason why TWRP can't access either the micro sd or otg?
I do appreciate the help... and i have been reading other threads... just seem to be at a stand still for now... suggestions are always welcome.
update: tried adjust the cable on the mic module ... no dice... replaced with older mic module, no dice... don't think it's a hardware issue.
To get into fastboot mode, power off the phone. Press and hold the volume up button and press the volume button. Once the phone vibrates, let go of the power button, then the volume button. You should not be in fastboot mode. You can choose recovery, power off, etc. with the volume button when in fastboot mode.
Connect the phone to the computer. Do you see any Android devices in device manager? Do you see any unknow devices?
Did you open a command prompt window on your computer, connect the phone in fastboot mode, and type "fastboot devices" (without quotation marks) and press enter to see if the phone is recognized?

So made some progress here. I think it was a hardware issue now... I put back the new mic module and reconnected the cable and now I can see my SD card and the computer sees it as well in adb and fastboot. That's the good news....
But ran into a new issue when trying to install any ROM from my micro sd card. I get ERROR 7 no matter what ROM I try to install. I have verified that they are the proper roms for my Z00A ZE551ML but still a no go.
What steps should I take next if I can now communicate but get error 7?
Thanks
Which recovery are you using to flash and which file are you trying to flash?
I am using TWRP 3.0.2.-0. Using the install from zip. I select any rom (Nougat Based so far I have tried). RR, Lineage, Octopus, all with the same error.
The phone is running a MM bootloader? What about MM or LP based ROMs?
I believe Timbernot said it was an LP based. I believe I installed about April last year and it was 3.0.2-0
Looks exactly like this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/development/recovery-twrp-3-0-0-0-recovery-t3319704
You probably need an MM bootloader for custom Nougat ROMs. Did you try any LP-based ROMs?
I have not tried any LP based yet. I will try in a bit and forward the results.
Thanks

You're still soft bricked, just force your device into download mode and use LG Flash Tool to return back to stock and start again.

If I remember correctly (please check threads here, it's been a long time since I've used this device, so memories are fading), download mode is activated when you press Volume Up (or both of volume buttons) and insert USB cable. I know that E98x has some strange button sequences, like rebooting to recovery is a two step operation (Volume Up + Power until navbar blinks, then power button twice, that's the only way mine wanted to boot into recovery), so please check around.
As far as USB connection issues, don't use USB3+ ports and if you're on Windows 8.1+ and later, run with Administrator privileges. I never experienced that one (used LGFlashTools from inside VirtualBox running Win XP for all my needs, I'm not a Windows user), so can't really help much but forums are full with explanations how.

Thank you very much...now the phone is back to initial state. This what i've done:
1. Download LG Flash tool from http://lgflashtool.com/
2. Download LG USB Drivers from http://lgflashtool.com/
3. Install LG flash tool and LG USB Drivers
4. Plug usb cable to phone
5. Hold volume buttons and then plug the usb cable to PC (i use win 10)
6. Voila, the Download Mode icon is showed up
7. Run LG Flash Tool (Administrator privilege) & follow the instruction (i use e988 v20c stock firmware)
8. Phone back to normal (only if you use the correct stock firmware)
A very big thanks to ShadySquirrel
Hopefully this thread can also be used as reference for anyone who has the same issue as i had
