LG G8s Thinq bricked because of rooting - LG G8 Questions & Answers

I bricked my LG G8s Thinq by following this method:​

You might be able to save it by pressing and holding vol - and power until the bootscreen and release and click them three times. It might bring up an option to factory reset. Follow the process to do so, and see if it works.

[Q] Acidentally Wiped System, What can I do?

I accidentally formatted the system partition so the tablet will not boot. I can't get back in to TWRP, I didn't have anything to flash in there anyway because CM would fail. What can I do?
Thank you.
You could try the LG mobile support tool

Can you write to it in ADB? How far does it come when it tries to boot? just LG bootloop? And what edition of TWRP did you use to flash?

I realize why it didn't flash. Because I was using an older version of TWRP that wouldn't flash AOSP roms. Is there any way to boot to recovery from the device being off?
The method in the link doesn't seem to work anymore.
How far do you get in the boot? LG screen? When connect to PC do you get connect/disconnect sounds? Please answer the questions as I'm thinking about this. I can't find any key combos so we need to find out if we have a small window where we can talk to ADB.. Any connection sounds? How far do you get?
Are you familiar with ADB and Fastboot?

I don't hear any sounds. It just stays at the LG screen. I made it to the factory reset screen but it didn't do anything. I followed these steps:
Make sure your device is fully charged and turned off.
Simultaneously press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only.
Now press and hold the power and volume up button while keeping your hold on the volume down button.
When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons.
Press the power button to continue.
Press the power button again to confirm if you’re sure you wish to continue with the reset.

ADB doesn't work at the LG screen, I just get the error: device not found message.
I can just send it back but I'd prefer to get it working.

Okay, okay, I dunno what you can do maybe ADB Works in here: Turn off the device AND disconnect from PC. When shut Down, you DONT hold power, but hold Volume up + Volume Down, when you hold both, you plug in USB cable. This takes you to download mode. That is perhaps a step in the right direction if you can start ADB from download mode. Then you can boot into recovery. But I don't know. This is maybe the last option for you. No recovery key combo has been discovered yet. If you can do a fastboot boot recovery from download mode, that would be golden. Then you can use the SD Card to get back with the newest TWRP and the CM11 nightly. Please let me know if this Works man. I'm sorry for your loss, otherwise. Factory Reset, as you said, will not work, since there's nothing to "restore" from. You deleted it. :/
Unfortunately, ADB doesn't work in download mode.

Damn that sucks. I was looking around the G2 forums to see about download mode and what LG usually did with it. Apparently they are using something called KDZ files, and they are able to flash stock roms back onto the device with something called FlashTool. Now, if it were my tablet and it was in the state yours is, I would try and read the tutorial. And then I'd follow it step by step but instead of the G2 KDZ, I'd see if I could find a KDZ with a G Pad rom instead. And just.. Yolo that ****.. From download mode.
Here's the thread, if you wanna read it.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476. I dunno man. The LG Tool thing, maybe you should try and see what techrider6262 is saying, he might have an idea as well, otherwise, just go all out crazy and see if you can magically use the FlashTool on your G Pad instead of the G2, since they are from "same line up." I know that's not the same as same model and so on.. But still.. Download mode.. Is download mode. Ofc. the tool itself or the settings in the tool might not work.. But.. You know. Why not.. Can't hurt.. Download mode will prolly still be available afterwards.. "For science."
got the same problem. i couldnt i wiped all data on the tablet and couldnt select the rom from the ext.sd. now its stuck at the lg logo.

This guys.. Is for download mode fix. I am pretty sure this works. Since you have access to Dload mode. Good luck.
I use the download mode to install the original official rom.
1. Download the LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL by this link:http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-V500-White
2. install the software in computer, Plug in USB cable with computer, Open the software LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL.
3. Turn off Pad and unplug.
4. press hold both volume up and volume down, Then plug in usb cable, And then pad is in downlaod mode
5. USB driver will be insatlled automatically
6. In LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL, click option---.country and language-OK, then click option--upgrade recovery
7. It will installe original official rom automatically.
8. After about 1.5 hours, The pad will be installed the last official room.
^ This is a quote and now I shut down the thread, sorry, don't know who said it, just got stoked when I saw it.
thanks, the tool is downloading the rom. hope its works.
// it worked thanks a lot, will try to flash cm 11 tomorrow again.

That is GREAT!
Now remember mate, clear DATA in TWPR, not system.. Never system. Clear only data/factory reset, then just flash CM 11. Nothing else is needed. Remember to install superSU from market after you get booted, otherwise root will not work. Update Binary in SuperSU.
Okay thanks for your help. Its so stupid that there is no key combination for recovery.
I will use your advice and try it later.

There is...
With device powered off do this...
Hold volume key down and press and hold power button.
When LG Logo appears let go of just the power key while still holding the volume key down and then press power key again and volume up while still holding down the volume key.
You get to the factory reset screen and just keep pressing power until you get into recovery.

[Q] How to enter recovery mode using key combination?

I can use "adb reboot recovery" to enter TWRP 2.7 recovery mode, but I want to use key combination, please tell me how to that.
Hold Power + Vol Down > Wait until LG Logo pops up and release from both buttons > quickly hold Power + Vol Up + Vol Down again
It will pop up with some message about reset to factory settings, but it's all a bluff.
Hit Power x3 times to confirm and you'll get to TWRP recovery
Thanks, it works.
actually I enter this factory reset mode before, but i just don't know it a "fake".
so will this erase all data or not?

That will depend on whether you've installed TWRP or not.
If you've still got the original recovery it will wipe it like it says it will, if you've got a custom recovery it will take you to it.
The standard recovery isn't a recovery like you're expecting it to be, if just has a way of resetting things to default without allowing you to do anything extra. OEM don't like giving people options but want a way to reset to defaults that the customer can use before needing to return a faulty unit which might not be faulty. If that makes sense.

From what I can tell, it's not a "bluff". It seems that the stock recovery partition would just automatically do a factory reset, so it warns you before booting the recovery partition. Seeing as you're non-stock, it just boots into TWRP/CWM. It's a valid warning that's simply set up in a weird way.

You don't.
We'll you might be able to but you're going about it the wrong way.
First you need to find the right forum for your device, then you read, followed by more reading.
At some point you've hopefully discovered that you should have done all this reading before you reset your device.
Also before pressing the post button on your next post, read it first to make sure it makes sense.
Thank you very much, I tried other combinations found on some web pages that failed. This one worked!
Issue remains.

I got myself in a pretty bad situation. I have the stock rom. I am trying to get that back using recovery but it's not working. Only factory reset screen. This tablet stopped working in 2015. It cannot write ANY data ANYWHERE. Can't take pics, Can't take screenshots, Can't download apps. Nothing. I really want my tablet back... :/

Install LG software on your computer first. Then with the tablet completely off, hold VolUp and plug the tablet into the computer. That will enter LG download mode. Use the LG software on your PC to install the latest firmware available for your device. From there you can use the guides on this forum to go custom if you so desire.

LG G3 Dead

Hi
I have LG G3 of AT&T that says D850.
I tried flashing it with a custom rom and after i restarted, it keep going into FASTBOOT mode and i couldnt open the phone.
I tried FlasTool to goto stock rom but it kept saying that the device model mismatched with the rom (i downloaded the ATT D850 dll and TOT).
After that i tried erasing the recovery, aboot, laf through fastboot. Just after i erased it my battery went out and phone goes off.
Now i cannot even turn on my phone. it show no screen at all.
However if i connect the USB, my pc detect something as a removeable device on computer.
Is there any way i can unbrick it?
Take battery off for few secs and put it back. Press power button and volume down at same time. When lg logo appears release and press again. You'll see white page with warnings. press 2x yes and you are now in twrp recovery mode.
Try factory reset. If doesn't help try install any rom from sd card or ext card.

There is nothing appearing by pressing the power button.
After I erased boot, recovery from fastboot, the LG logo stops appearing and phone is behaving like its not even starting up.
Even in flashtool, it doesn't show any model number or imei now.
Earlier if was showing as D8559

I tried both but flashtool is not recognizing my device, it shows no imei and pid.
Plus my device is d850 but it shows the error that device model is mismatched with the files however I downloaded the d850 files.
Dude you hard bricked it. I fell into the same exact situation. Came to flash stock but faulty win8 drivers caused my flash to fail at 14%...and everything went horribly wrong.
you can see a reply i wrote earlier that can help you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...overy-mode-t3162652/post61991431#post61991431
BUT both links in the reply are to fixing a hardbrick for international D855 models and i am not sure if they will work with you.
Honestly your phone is not dead. There is many ways to fix it...if not now then eventually. You can find many threads with the same problem. Honestly i was sick to my stomach when it happened to me...you must be patient and make sure you read everything carefully before doing anything and I'm sorry this happened to you
Good luck!

Hi I'm sorry if you've already said you can't get into recovery mode or anything but when i bricked my g4 i used the lg flash tool to flash h815 10c stock and then instead of flashing the latest twrp (the blue themed one) i flashed the one before it which is 2.8.6.1 and it worked perfectly so if you manage to get into recovery or fastboot then try and flash that version of twrp instead , good luck buddy...

NOOB: hard bricked op3, volume up button hasn't been working

First off, I did do a search, but as far as I can tell no one has had this problem so far.
This is all after modding using a tool kit: (i can't include the url but it is the toolkit by neisor on the oneplus forums)
tldr: phone stuck in bootloop, computer wont recognize the phone, maybe because it keeps shutting off and then booting to the 1+ logo, then shutting off again, would drivers help? what can I do about the volume up button?
So for a while my volume up button hasn't been working, and the mega unbrick post shows that I need to hold the volume up button for at least 25 seconds and while holding, plug my phone in. I have also seen some posts that say the volume up button could be a software issue, and the button itself could be working, and it is just not registering, as well as someone saying that you could take the back off and manually press the button, instead of using the bar on the outside of the phone (would this work?). I have gotten the button to work in the past by pressing the volume up button to the side instead of straight in, but I haven't been able to get it to work since my phone got bricked.
Another issue: my phone is stuck in a boot loop, I can't access fastboot, and I'm unsure of recovery because my volume up button is not working. would it be worth it to deal with the constant vibrating to try to get it to recovery?
I have been able to shut the phone off by holding the power button for something like a minute and a half, though.
This is my first post, and if I have broken any rules I am very sorry, but I need help and am tired of not having a phone.
Thank you everyone,
Mark
Edit: this is what I did to root the phone:
1. download the toolkit
2. unlock bootloader (when fastbooting the phone said unlocked at the bottom, and a message about not being secure showed every time I rebooted the phone)
3. flashed twrp (no issues, still booted, recovery went to twrp. for some reason I had to flash multiple times as every now and then recovery would revert to stock op, although I did make a backup through twrp)
4. send supersu zip file to phone, install using twrp (phone would not boot, op logo stayed on phone for 2 hrs + until I rebooted to fastboot and tried to reinstall the backup I made, still nothing)
5. Try magisk (still stuck on op logo)
6. try to go back to stock, accidentally lock bootloader (now the phone is stuck in bootloop, don't know what to do from here as I cant get to fastboot and am unsure of recovery's accessibility.)
If you are sure you have a broken volume button, you need to replace it first in order to get the phone fix.
Correction:
Fastboot/bootloader = Power+Vol Up
Recovery = Power+Vol Down
This happened to me except I didn't even get anything appear on the screen -- the phone just periodically vibrated with the screen not even light up. I tried the reset toolkit which is meant to flash your phone back to normal using Qualcomm drivers or something, but that didn't work either. Eventually I had to send it to OnePlus who fixed it for free in under a week! They said the motherboard had failed.
I hope you get this fixed!
Thanks

Damn, that sucks, and besides being unfixable (doubt it), this is my biggest fear. I'm in the US and really don't want to have to ship my phone to china to have it fixed. If you are in the US as well do you know if there is a OnePlus branch I can send it to in the US?

There seems to be one in Texas. Anyway, contact OnePlus and they may try to solve it over the air.
Apart from that, did you install the Qualcom drivers properly? Even with your faulty power button, try to hold it down for 40+ seconds (for the phone to switch off) and then immediately hold down the volume up button for 10 seconds and then plug in the phone to the PC. I know I am merely repeating the instructions of Naman Bhalla in his Mega Unbrick Guide but it is crucial to do them correctly especially the installation of the drivers. Try these steps repeatedly because for some people, the phone gets recognised after repeated attempts. Or else replace the power button and then try these steps.
I had to use the Guide last month and successfully resurrected my dead phone.

Can you boot into recovery by pressing power+volume down buttons?
Update: Got phone to show on computer as qualcomm under coms and ports
So last night I went ahead and held volume up for about 20 seconds, then plugged the phone in, keeping the volume up button pressed the entire time. my phone stopped bootlooping and showed up as a qualcom device! So I have downloaded the new driver the stock os, and am going to proceed to try to unbrick my phone.

There seems to be one in Texas. Anyway, contact OnePlus and they may try to solve it over the air.
Apart from that, did you install the Qualcom drivers properly? Even with your faulty power button, try to hold it down for 40+ seconds (for the phone to switch off) and then immediately hold down the volume up button for 10 seconds and then plug in the phone to the PC. I know I am merely repeating the instructions of Naman Bhalla in his Mega Unbrick Guide but it is crucial to do them correctly especially the installation of the drivers. Try these steps repeatedly because for some people, the phone gets recognised after repeated attempts. Or else replace the power button and then try these steps.
I had to use the Guide last month and successfully resurrected my dead phone.

I still need to turn off the signed drivers features ( a huge bi*ch, I have to use another computer to contact microsoft or something to get my computer to load when I turn off safe boot or whatever its called), but once I do that I can install the driver and attempt to reinstall the stock os. Hopefully everything will go well.
Thank you,

Not as far as I know

Can you boot into recovery by pressing power+volume down buttons?

So far recovery has not been loading, just the bootloop, but I have gotten the phone to power off by pressing the power button for 40 seconds, and the volume up button plus plugging in does make the phone register as qualcom 9008 or something like that. Basically everything is going well so far, and the faulty vol button seems to have been a software bug, as it does work when plugging it in. I will try to get to fast boot, but it did not work last time.
Thank you,
