my phone is a lg g4 h815.
tried to flash lineage, i ****ed up with twrp and i think i accidently wiped everything.
the phone starts fine, blue led is blinking, lg logo comes on, then nothing happens.
i have tried:
- factory reset: pressed yes to both, phone boots again, same ****.
- download mode: turned off phone, pressed vol up then usb cable in - download mode does not start.
- adb devices do not see the phone, but it is in windows devices, under ports, com4.
- i have installed the lg usb driver.
tools used:
- lg up: says unknown model. wont let me do anything.
- lg bridge: cant connect to the phone.
- lg mobile support tool: after downloading the image, it wont upload it to the phone. says control pc status (and yes, my pc works fine!)
- lg flashtool 2014: says required info cannot be found. contact system administrator. i have downloaded a kdz image.
any ideas? exchanging the motherboard is a 150$ job, which i'm unsure i'm willing to spend on a 1½ yr old phone.
thanks in advance.
i found the solution.
1) do a factory reset. press yes and yes. turn off phone, and hold vol up down, so you will boot into download mode immediately afterwards factory reset.
2) now the phone says firmware update.
3) open up LG UP, latest version. now the phone is recognized (mine as h81520g).
4) download a .kdz image, that matches the version LG UP specify (in my case, h18520g). you can find official .kdz images at www.lg-firmwares.com - find one, that matches your country and model.
5) flash with LG UP (click on 'upgrade' for .kdz to become available, and then choose your .kdz image).
hope this can be of some help.

Hi, this is my mini guide to recovery in original lg e975... If any method does not work then use this!!
I have test it on my lg e975 bricked thanks twp recovery e970 !!! kdz not working ... error!!!
1- buy this cable to set usb 910k or similar cable important is "mode 910k"(http://www.ebay.com/itm/4in1-Micro-...999-P990-P970-flash-unlock-MORE-/261019033382)
2- download LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL from http://www.lg.com/sg/support-mobile/lg-Optimus-G-LG-E975
3- shutdown phone
4- connect cable to 910k at phone
5- start lg support tool and install driver
6- you will see that lg support tool has found your phone
7- go in support > Emergency & recovery mode> write your imei and press check (wait 1 minute after "OK" to start upgrade tool) upgrade process is 10-15 minutes
7-after upgrade is finished it restart phone automatically
If you have change partition after update could stuck on logo lg ... how to fix it:
- shutdown phone and press hold key volume- and power for 15s and it reset software-
Sorry my bad english!!!!!!!
I have done these steps with the regular cable that came with my phone lol. No special cable needed.
you can get into the flash mode by holding down vol up and vol down while connecting it to USB.
If you can enter download mode, you can use KDZ updater,without any problems. LG mobile tool will work only on stock rom.If you are on custom rom,no luck with it.
Besides, with kdz updater you don't have to wait everytime to download the KDZ from lg server, you can use local image.
But if you can't enter download mode, the only way is the JTAG.
But if I have problems to flash with kdz and yet also "LG support tool", but I can get into download mode, how can I fix it?
I have the animated LG logo bootloop after trying to flash via kdz with CM11 installed ...
G support tool gets stuck at 15, but unplugging the USB cable from e975 and reattaching it, the procedure is completed, but say me: Battery level low even though I have 100%. Why?
Bye, Thanks
KDZ updater not working
I had TWRP 3.0.0 then i tried to flash lower version i think it is TWRP2.5.6, after i flashed it i restarted and went to recovery mode, but there was no recovery mode, only black screen... I tried with KDZ updater to flash stock rom V10H but after KDZ extracts files, connect to phone, says that its starting to s/w upgrade and my phone restarts and goes to fastboot mode, and KDZ updater stays like that, doesn't do anything, I tried it on two different computers, Win 10 and Win XP.. I still have my software on (ubuntu touch by mordesku) but i want to go back to CWM. Can somebody help me?
Hello, first I'd like to thank you for your time reading this.
Note: I've searched the forums a lot, even for other LG Devices (G2 for ex) but I couldn't find a solution.
Trying to flash CM12 by _infected (amazing rom, working as a daily driver on my other lg pad btw) and messed up something on TWRP.
-First trying to do a Factory Reset via TWRP gave me "failed to mount /data" and "/system" I rebooted and the device went straight to TWRP Recovery, I rebooted again, this time making sure I selected "Reboot to System" and it went again to TWRP Recovery...
- I did another wipe, this time wiped everything (all checkboxes in TWRP), reboot and... no boot...
Now my LG Pad is at the following State:
- Black Screen (No LG Logo)
- Connecting USB to Windows gives the "connected sound"
- Adb doesnt find device (driver was installed and working).
- Device Manager "refreshes" on USB plug but doesnt show the device (or I can't find it?).
- Holding Power on the tablet while USB plugged to Windows gives the "disconnected sound" -> "connected sound" -> "connected sound".
- Can't boot into Download Mode.
- Can't turn off the Tablet... only Reboots holding Power key.
Please? Any help?
What can I do?
Is warranty void at this point?
Thank you very much for any help you can provide.
I have a G pad in the same situation, and I wasn't able to fix it. I managed to pick up another cheap one, but I'll follow this thread in case you get an answer.
You have to find a way to get it into download mode or you wont be able to fix it with LG Tool
What did you mess up, and how did you install twrp ? Also what twrp version abd base.

For me personally, I assumed it'd be as easy as the twrp page makes it out to be , or my nexus 4 was, so I just went for it. I ran into that secure boot error with twrp, and rebooted back into stock. There was an OTA update, so I did it (stupid I now realise) and that bricked it on reboot. It won't turn on at all. If i plug into USB on a computer it OCCASIONALLY brings something up on the screen, the LG logo I think or something, but I cannot for the life of me get it into download mode. It's at home right now, so ic anot remmeber the exact thing it shows on screen, but almost certainly not download mode, and none of the hardware buttons seem to be responsive for doing factory resets or download or anything.
I managed to send the LG G Pad to warranty and got a new one... Lucky me...
Guess that if we can't get into DL mode they can't either.
However after much investigation I've realized that the problem was a corrupted system partition...
Sorry folks i havent helped here in a bit however I thought for the last 2 weeks I had bricked my lg g2 by modifing the build.prop without fixing its permissions on a stock recovery and lg flash would not flash tot for the love of god, i did much research of this issue and found a fix that was deep within the xda commuinty that i just happen to come across, as ive tried to look for the OR thread i could not find it again. However for you guys who i have recently noticed you believe you have BRICKED you lg on a stock recovery, and the lg flash tool giving you a check dll or model here you go, instead of using the LGLS980_20130904_LGFLASHv151.dll theres a bypass DLL and its all yours (your welcome) i included ALL THE TOOLS you need to unbrick your poor lg g2 (BTW SPRINT YOU SUCK) seems the newer the device the easier it is to brick, the lg g2 cannot be manually put into fastboota nd theres no way to do so unless you have no recovery or messed up the recovery partition from what ive read.
Me coming from a Motorola Xoom which i can not brick for the last 2 years ive been messing around with.
DOWNLOAD TOOLS FOR THIS
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzDugtIyKzTZdHo3WVg4Ti1CWjg/view?usp=sharing
Anyways, follow the guide below.
Unzip spr_lg_g2_unbrick.zip to C:\LG\ then run the Setup_LGFlasHTool_1.8.1.1023.exe, install and leave as is C:\LG\LGFlashTool\
Place the LGUP_8974.dll in the same folder "C:\LG\LGFlashTool" Copy the MegaLock.dll into C:\LG\LGFlashTool\ and overwrite.
1. Make sure the device is POWERED OFF, press vol up and then plug the usb cord into the phone, device should now boot into Download Mode.
2. If you havent already install the driver provided with the zip.
3. Once installed open control panel>>device manager expand Ports (COM & LPT) Double Click on LGE Androidnet USB Serial Port and change this to port 41.
4. Unplug the Device from the PC, and turn the phone off by holding the power button untill the lg screen flashes once.
5. Have your TOT file in the same folder as the installed directory as LG Flash Tool. link to tot, once downloaded unzip the tot is inside: http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2FSprint%2F
6. Check "Select Manual Mode" Choose the LGUP_8974.dll and for S/W is your TOT file then select OK.
7. Then moving on, click the green arrow key. after its done with the checking process, grab your LG G2 press and hold the Vol up and plug in your device, this should start restoring your phone, if not then repeat the power down and download mode startup again, I had to do mine twice, but it worked.
Please let me know if this has saved your a$$ because i will tell you it did mine, lol. This is basically if your in any kinda trouble but still have doenload mode this dll is the key to restore AND REMEMBER IF YOU HAVE A ROM USING THE D801 OR T MOBILE PORT DO NOT ACCCEPT OTA'S i already bricked my frist lg g2 by doing so, i have a bricked g 2 in QHCOMM 9008 mode its not paper weight., Good luck to you all
hello geeks,
I really need serious help. First the setup I have is as follows
1. I have LG G3 D855 but its european or Hong Kong or Taiwan version I don't know. I bought it in India. I updated it to android 5.0 Lollipop. Everything is fine till now.
2. Then I rooted my phone. This step was also fine. No problem.
3. Then I tried to download camera mod v2.0 to get some extra camera features like 60fps. In this step I got problems. I downloaded the media_profile.xml and copied it to /system/etc. But I made a mistake that I did not change its permission and rebooted the phone.
I am troubleshooting from a windows 8.1 PC. I downloaded the LG USB driver.
Due to this my phone stop at initial LG,Life is Good Screen. I tried different methods in internet.
1. I tired to access the device file file through adb. But the adb does not list the device.
2. I tried to use fastboot mode, but still fastboot does not list device when in the boot screen.
3. I pressed down pwr + volume down button and release after screen come up and then press again. I was asked to erase user data. I said yes and it erased the data. But still the same symptom when I reboot. Stuck at initial screen.
4. I tried to use LG PC Suite. But it does not even detect phone through the USB and there is no repair button.
5. I tried to enter downloading mode. This one is strange. I pressed down the vol up and then connected USB. But sometimes only it enters downloading mode and sometimes not. May be once in 10 times it enters downloading mode and 9 times it goes to initial boot LG screen.
I am not sure whats going on. Can anybody help me to figure it out ? Please help.
Thats because your not doing it properly
Research a guide on how to enter download mode and after that you can use flashtool to wipe your system and reinstall the original lg firmware
Hello all,
I've done a lot of googling and searching on these forums and I'm having no luck. Hopefully by asking I can get some headway.
I was attempting to restore to stock rom. At 17% of the process using LGFlashTool 1.8.6 the tool gave me an error 'Unable to Communicate with phone' after about 10 minutes of no progress. I exited the LGFlashTool program and ran it again and now it fails saying 'Cant' change to download mode". If I turn the phone off and then press Vol+ and plug in my cable it just goes to the Firmware Update screen. My phone *IS* detected properly in the device manager as LGE Andriod MTP Device and under ports as LGE Mobile USB Serial Port (COM41). If I go into recovery (Vol- and power) it asks if I want to do the restore - but it doesn't actually do anything once I say yes twice. Just sits at the firmware update screen at 0%.
I looked at this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/unbrick-lg-g3-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9008-t3072091) but it appears to be either for a different phone or different problem (showing in device manager as a bulk device - mine is not doing that). Frankly I don't want to make things worse (if that's possible)
Does anyone have a way that I can restore the download mode for this D852 phone? I'm hoping if I can get download mode to work again I can reflash the stock rom. I don't care about the data on the phone at this point.
I'm willing to send some $$$ via paypal to whomever can get me back up and running! Thanks

What happens when u just power up the phone ?
Thanks for the reply.
If I shut the phone down (by pulling battery) then plug it back in and just power it on, I get the LG logo then it goes to the firmware update screen with 'USER B84" in the box below the progress bar. Progress bar never moves. I get to this screen whether I start it in recovery (which is just the factory recov - looks like during the initial 17% it wiped out my TWRP), attempt to start it in download mode (I do not get the download mode screen with the blue dots anymore), or regularly by just holding the power button.
ok
Dont plug it into the computer and try to power it up what does ot do?
Same thing.

Ok that didn't work for me but I did try the LGFlashTool using Board DL instead of Upgrade DL and it was moving a bit. Finally got to 10% and failed at 574 sec with the error "We can't communicate with Phone". I am using the cable that came with the phone. It isn't damaged or anything.
Here's what is shows in the LG Flashtool window (this is port 1 (com41)
Code:

On the phone it shows COM41 under the usb icon on under firmware update and 0% progress. In the box below it says:
Code:
F USER 50.0 A50.0 B70 UHS
S U LG-D852 04.4.2 Hrev_10
D85210b
D85210b
That's it. Should I leave the phone connected at this point or unplug it? Device still shown in device manager (have had it up beside the LG Flashtool window the whole time. I do see it refresh from time to time but the contents dont' seem to change at all.
Ok so I left this over night and when I checked the phone this morning it's different but I don't think it's good.
Looks like it proceeded but ended with:
FBOOT Check
FBOOT Complete Time [0s ] 1th try
Factory Reset Flag = 2
Factory Reset Flag Check Fail!!!
And my phone has a blue screen with Factory Reset Status and a big red '2'
Now what do I do?
Some further information.
If I run the LGFlashTool in Board DL action mode, it seems like the process works but I end up with the red 2 on the screen. But I don't get 'can't change to download mode' or 'cannot communicate with phone' errors.
However if I choose Upgrade DL action mode, then I get 'can't change to download mode' or cannot communicate with phone'. ARGH. What gives?
I have tried things like fresh restarts (restarting PC), restarting the LG FlashTool between attempts, not restarting flashtool, etc. I can't seem to find the sweet spot.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/help/fix-bricked-lg-g3-ls990-stuck-fastboot-t3084562 another tutorial to try
Thanks, but no dice.
I don't get fastboot options, and if i download and attempt to use fastboot, it shows no devices.
Also, when following the steps for the BOARD DL option in the lg flashtool, it goes through the process but I get no ATT screen. Nor do I get the option to tap OK or Normal - as soon as my device reboots after the flash, it gives me a MINI OS (iirc) screen with a bunch of vertical bars below it moving up and down then it changes to the Factory Reset screen with the number 2.

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem now, where the phone only boots to the Firmware Update screen. Did you manage to fix it?
Indeed.
I used the KDZ method pacods61 posted last, but I had trouble actually finding kdz firmware. With some help I finally managed to do so from here: http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/country.php?country=Canada
