Need help...
Was messing the around with the screen density in the buildprop.. after reboot, "systemui keeps FCing" making it unusable and I cant do anything. Attempting to do a hard button combo to go into stock recovery but cant seems to get it to work.. Googleing tells me to, hold volume down and power till the LG logo, release power and rehold again.. it just reboots again.. holding all 3 brings me to a korean menu that I cant read.. holding up and power brings me to a recovery menu that I think only the service centre can use, there's no option in there, only asking me to reboot.
Any kind souls please....

I've been trying to get into my stock recovery for some time now trying all sorts of button combos but to no avail. Previously I had the g2 and when it updated from jellybean to kitkat, the combo for entering stock recovery changed however, this new combo doesn't seem to work on the G Pro 2 either
You should be able to revive your device back to stock using the LG pc Suite however, after tampering with the system, it is often necessary to perform a factory reset after the pc suite has done it's work which will need you to enter stock recovery.
If you are completely stuck, I would suggest restoring your device using the pc suit and, all being well, your device will boot sufficiently for you to perform a reset through the phone settings menu. If you are really lucky, it may boot properly and you may not need to perform any reset however, it would still probably be a good idea to do so.

I had tried everything.. Even adb command to reboot into recovery. It just brings me to a broken Android with red triangle. I am starting to think there is no stock recovery built in that is accessible to users..
I am now at the service centre. Well the guy can detect that its rooted.. voids warranty.... But will try to see if he can help to reflash the firmware.. If not have to change hardware and will be chargeable....... Fingers crossed. He did say users are not able to access the recovery..
Guys.. Until there's custom recovery, pls dun mess with it.....
That is really bad. I am stuck at bootloop and unable to reach the recovery mode. I wonder how entire web just talks about a hardreset process that doesnt even work

Glad you were able to get your phone back. I have some positive news. I am trying out a recovery method as we speak. Using the LG Software update & USB driver tool I found the option for a update recovery. So I gave the IMEI and it prompted for a connection to the device which wasnt there as the phone is stuck in a boot loop. So I thought if it is going to restore the firmware from PC ( and not OTA) then it at some point of time will take the phone to download mode. So I just put the phone in download mode and VOILA it recognised the connection. And right now it is downloading the recovery firmware. The firmware being downloaded is around 1.5GB which is exactly what size I expected it to be. I have my fingers crossed. Just hope it goes through fine.

As I mentioned in an earliar post on this thread, you can usually get the device into a booting state using the lg pc suite. You will probably have to perform a factory reset but, hopefully, after using the tool, you can access the software factory reset in the settings menu. From past experience with other lg devices, it can often help if you run the recovery more than once in the pc suite.

Hi Bob,
Yes I think the same option is there in the LG PC Suite as well. But unless you do what I have tried to do it wont recognise a device that has not booted yet. Devices soft-bricked or bootlooping wont be recognised by the PC suite for recovery. But thanks for the tip. I'd keep that in mind and see if it'd need another factory reset after recovery. But it seems like it will be a hard reset done by the recovery happening right now

Good luck. If no joy just try the pc suit. I'm fairly sure I had a success on my old g2 with a similar problem to yours. Can't remember exactly what I did but I kept trying things and eventually the pc suit recognised and sorted my device. Perhaps try to adb reboot recovery with the pc suit on screen??
PC suite and the software update thing didn't work for me. It just refuse to recognize my device. Hope things work out for u!

Thanks. I was able to revive my phone. No loss of apps and data. Just the root was lost. Can you tell me what issues you have witnessed after such a recovery that made you to do a factory reset? The phone looks fine at the moment but wonder if it'd end up in a boot loop again.

You shouldn't have a problem. I just like to have a clean start and to make sure that there are no alien files left from my previous tampering.

It went all smooth. I'd like to shout out to all LG G Pro 2 users to make a note of this method and try it whenever they soft-brick their phones.

Hi there,
I am in the same situation, I can not do the factory reset in any way was mentioned here (pc suite, lg update) in the forum, because there is no connection between the pc and the mobile.
Where you from anyway and which mobile service did you take your phone, how much was the service cost?

Did you try this:
VOL DOWN + POWER
when LG logo appears release booth keys and wait 2 sec then
VOL DOWN + VOL UP
you should get factory reset screen

I'm not sure where to post this, sorry for that.
I haven't found any help or so in any threads about my phone on this forum or on others...
I own a Vodafone Smart 2 (Alcatel V860) mobile phone that I rooted, had the original ROM (got rid of the Vodafone mess ) for a while and then flashed Roeddie's v 0.9.9 (OTA 4) ROM and it was all going well...
Until a couple of days ago when I saw a thread on HtcMania.com claiming a clockworkmod recovery for this phone, so I said why not... (not allowed to post the url...)
I've put the .zip on my SDcard and flashed it via the original recovery. The cwm loaded, but at reboot it was stuck in the original recovery. Sort of Boot Loop.
Happened this before (when flashing some idiot cm7), so I wiped data/factory reset, dalvik, cache partition and I restored a previous backup, supposed to solve that Boot Loop. But, this time, it didn't... The phone was still booting directly into the original recovery.
So I tried another thing. I've started the phone in fastboot mode and used the fastboot method to write that backup. That meant "fastboot erase bootloader, boot, system, userdata, custpack, recovery, cache" and then "fastboot flash the images from the backup", method that I used before and worked without any problem.
But, this time, after I erased everything, when I started to flash the images from the backup... the phone, somehow, POWERED OFF, I still don't have the slightest idea why... :crying:
When i powered it on, the bootloader was missing so it just froze with the Android logo on the screen and after a few seconds it shut down.
I tried starting it in fastboot mode, but no luck. It starts just like that every time, but if I plug the USB cable in it, it doesn't shut down anymore, freezing with the logo on screen.
Windows won't recognize it under any circumstances, no matter what drivers I have. no adb, fastboot. So it's pretty much useless.
If i restart it like 5 times, Windows eventually recognizes it as a Modem. Useless.
I think it's a Soft Brick, because it starts but it has no idea what to do without the bootloader. It would generally be recoverable, but, as you can see, I don't have any method to communicate with this phone...
I would consider the jtag, with a RIFF Box. Taking the motherboard out of it and "writing the dead body", but I don't think the Riff Manager supports this sh**ty phone and I wouldn't like to pay for it.
The phone is still covered by warranty, but I'm not sure if they are going to do it for free, because I messed with it.
I can try that story: "I was taking an OTA Update and the phone never powered on." maybe they are going to buy it.
So is it any other method to write at least the bootloader on it, any other that the ones mentioned before, methods that I have no access to ?

Don't know anything about your phone but all I can sare is that using flashtool, flash the stock kernel(find for your device using search box) and reinstall stock firmware or if your bootloader is unlocked, flash a different kernel with working recovery. I have xperia x10 so not even close to your phone

It could be a hard brick and your info seems to confirm this but don't take my word for it. Search on google for issues with your device I seem to remember reply to a thread similar to this a while back.

The I think.this is because when some phones are bricked they show the manufactures name such as on a hard bricked htc device it sometimes shows qhsusb_dload (don't quote me on that if my spelling is wrong) and it connects under a Qualcomm USB device driver. That is because sometimes on devices the chipset is made by Qualcomm but on your device the chipset is made by Broadcom and that why it shows a Broadcom named device driver.

Yes, the bad news is that even JTAG could not repair my hard-bricked vodacrap II. My advice is to be really carefull when installing the custom android version, especially when using another sim than vodafone, some of the mods won't let you insert the network cod (eight of 1), mine didn't work with any version of the mods, sometimes I wasn't able to receive calls, sometimes to make calls, depending. Take it and keep it using vodafone or in any other case don't buy is not worthy.
i accidentally erased boot and bootloader.nor download mode nor recovery work and my pc recognize it like Broadcom USB wireless modem.Any solution?

The good thing about development phone like Moto G are that you can never brick your phone. It is very much recoverable. Try unlocking bootloader and then flash official firmware from this link http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14
Use this link to unlock bootloader,

I would not wait for two weeks for replacement when we can bring the phone to life within 30min.
I agree a risk element in it. If the phone is basically faulty, then it is not worth trying the way I suggested. Has this worked before you started mess around?
Good luck..

If the phone is basically faulty (a potential hardware issue) the last thing one should do is unlock the bootloader and lose the warranty.

If you have ordered from flipkart Just call them and pretend that its not turning on at all.....and they will give you a hand to hand replacement!
I can return phone but it cost more then 60 EUR via DHL and i must wait long time...
Today i will try to unlock bootloader and flash firmware. Thanks you all, have you more suggestions?
I dont know what happened. This is strange problem because telephone work fine 5 hours and after power off, i see only Motorola Logo. I hope that i will not miss guarranty when i unlock bootloader.
Unlock device is finished. Can you give me tutorial for flashing stock firmware? I am noob

I had exactly the same issue, after I unlocked the bootloader this happened to me, don't worry is not bricked just a software issue with some providers firmwares, what did I do? The good about this is, you should be able to put it in fastboot.
Read all before try it please
* I unlocked the bootloader (seems like you already did it)
* I flashed CWM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563599
Here the next issue was I needed to flash a ROM but I wasn't able to put any file in my device even mouting the USB in CWM or adb push, so: sideload
* I downloaded this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606943 (you could use other but that worked for me)
* I Put the zip file in the fastboot directory
* I turned on my device in recovery mode (CWM, you can do it by the fastboot, select recovery, use vol up to enter, vol down to move, power button doesn't work here).
* Wipe factory, cache and dalvik (just in case I think factory wipe is enough)
* I went to the option flash from zip file, flash from sideload (or similar not sure about the name but it says sideload)
adb sideload myromfile.zip
once the adb finish, CWM will notify you and you can flash your rom regularly. It will finish, then you should reboot, It should take about 5 minutes for the first boot. Then my phone worked again.
Sorry if I said something wrong, first time I talk here and I felt identified with your issue and wanted to help you.
Thank you. I flashed CWM but i can not enter to it. When i hold volume down + power button i enter in fastboot flash mode. How i can enter to recovery cwm? When i enter to recovery trough fastboot mode nothing happened. Phone has restart and appeared moto logo. When i flash it i got ".mismatched partition size".
Is there any tutorial for me ? I am very frustrated with this phone
sounds like the phone might be faulty if it happened and you didnt do anything to cause it ,
anyway another option for you is to try a external reset,you have attempted too flash other firmwares so not 100% sure it will work but give it a try through fastboot recovery.
click the link below and halfway down the page follow the instruction for "external reset"
https://motorola-global-portal.cust..._detail/a_id/97329/p/30,6720,9050/action/auth
This is my steps:
-Flash this falcon_retgb_user_4.3_14.10.0Q3.X-76-LGG-8_54_release-keys-cid7-Retail_GB via this tutorial http://www.theandroidsoul.com/install-moto-g-uk-generic-firmwarestock-rom/
-flash CWM V3 or V2
Do i need to flash some other stock ROM before i do external reset? EDIT; external reset does not work becase i can not enter to recovery and wipe data/cache...

Except it isn't a development phone and of course you can brick it. Try erasing the bootloader and recovery and see how you get on then. Im pretty sure it'd be bricked??
To OP - you should have returned phone especially as you are a noob, no offence but a noob trying to recover a phone which has 'broken' by itself is not going to end well especially as its impossible to tell if its hardware or software issue in the first place.
I wish you luck though.

To get into CWM after flash it, go to fastboot mode, then in the menu, use ONLY vol down and move to the recovery option, once in the recovery option push vol up.
It also could be you phone has a fault from factory.

Except it isn't a development phone and of course you can brick it. Try erasing the bootloader and recovery and see how you get on then. Im pretty sure it'd be bricked??
To OP - you should have returned phone especially as you are a noob, no offence but a noob trying to recover a phone which has 'broken' by itself is not going to end well especially as its impossible to tell if its hardware or software issue in the first place.
I wish you luck though.

You can perfeclty recover an erased or corrupt bootloader, and from there flash anything you want, including recovery. Yeah, it's an unbrickable phone.

Yes, it can be bricked depending on the version... Mine can't have the bootloader unlocked...

I must return phone. My bootloader is unlocked, i hope that manufacturer will give me new phone.
IF you have any solution respond me please.

Your phone seems to be fine. the only option worth a try is to flash official firmware that should go ok with a locked bootloader forget about custom recovery and rooms
and in any case do not unlock the bootloader until you some how solve this and in the picture you posted the phone already is in flash mode just make your PC to recognize your phone by installing the necessary drivers and flash

The issue with my phone.
I can't get into Download mode, computer won't pick it up and non of the buttons work. So I can't just flash a new rom.
It happened when I was trying to install This(I was being stupid and didn't look at the device.) So is there a way to fix it?
Things I tried and have
I have tried ADB, and fast boot they all get stuck waiting for the device (on every port).
I have the laf file. BUT here is the main issue my computer won't pick it up rendering the laf file useless.
I have looked on the forums and all methods purposed. Were for 32 bit computers or didn't work.
Signs of Life (Update One)
It just showed signs of life. It was dead so I charged it and the LED was flashing red and it charged now it is back to black screen and now sign of life though. I tried ADB on my tablet (didn't work) so I know the ADB issue might be my computer. That is good news because it means there is a chance of fixing it.
I am going to try to use ADB on my other computer to see if that works. If it does then there may be a chance of fixing it.

I looked into the zip that you tried to flash, and it looks like it flashed the mmcblk0p5 partition, which on the G3 is aboot (and I believe is why even download mode is broken). You can get a clean aboot.img from the thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/rom-lg-d850-20f-lollipop-5-0-1-extras-t3052041) , but you will have to have some way to flash it. Are you able to get into anything at all on the phone itself, recovery even?
@southern87 : maybe you can provide some insight. I remember in the Lounge a while back you had a broken aboot. Where you ever able to get back to download mode or some other way to repair aboot?

Thanks for responding. I am going to try ADB again but I can't get into recovery mode at the time being.
A similar thing just happened to me, except I got right out of it. Device was completely unresponsive, no download mode, adb nothing, indicative of a hard brick. Scared the **** out of me as I've had it less than 6 hours... Started holding buttons, and it came to life after ~1 minute of power button + volume down. Related? Well maybe not, thought I'd post it here. (TWRP 2.8.5 + Rooted CM12)
True Hard Brick, No OS!
Well I really did it this time. F*cked up big time. Wiped everything on phone, all I have is TWRP which is useless. Nothing. No bootloader, no sideloader, NO files! Guess I'll try to get into download mode.
Anyone have any ideas? Would be greatfull for any help.

They don't put it bAck to stock.. They either will tell you no as you voided warranty or it will be sent off for warranty. They don't flash in store.
You have to have download mode to flash.
So your plugging your phone inTo a non USB 3.0 plug using the OEM LG cable while holding volup and then plugging in the USB cable?

Yes, AT&T said they would replace it for $199.00. Screw that. they gave me the phone # for LG, I will call them & see how much they charge to reinstall the OS. Yes, plugging into 2.0 usb while holding vol up with phone off. No sign of life.

Yes, if only it was that easy.
There are a few things you can try :
1.) Press the Powerbutton for a longer time
If you have a responce like the LG Logo or something like that, you might want to try and plug it to the computer and use the managing software
with which you can emergency reinstall the firmware.
2.) Press Power + Volume Down
If it restarts into the recovery menu, try to find a way to load a flashable stock rom of your handy onto the memory of your phone in order to "reflash" it.
(I don't know how you can do that )
3.) Go to the shop where you bought it and explain your problem, since rooting a LG device is not really easy to detect the chances that your warranty will cover for it are pretty high.

I have a conundrum. I bought an international S10e so I could root and run custom ROMs, even though I live in the US. While flashing with Heimdall, my USB controller flaked out and the flash failed hard. It left the phone in such a corrupted state, that it no longer will go into download mode or boot into recovery. When connecting it to a computer, it just goes to a teal screen that says the following:
An error has occurred while updating the device software. Use the Emergency recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I installed Windows, the drivers, and the Smart Switch software, but the program refuses to see my S10e as a valid device for emergency recovery or otherwise. I took it to a shop to see if they could perform the reset, and they told me that Samsung US refuses to give them the necessary files due to it being an international model.
Are there any other tools I can use to perform this reset, or do I have to mail it in to Samsung?
it will go back into download mode again!

I have tried all that many times. The phone will not go into download mode. Unless there is a way to perform the reset that it suggests without download mode, it is dead and I will have to mail it in to Samsung and fight with them about it. Are there really no consumer-available tools that can do this?
same screen

I'm afraid not. Got a shiny brick on my desk, waiting in vain for some kind of low-level flashing procedure to recover it. At this point, its looking like it won't amount to much more than e-waste

I would gladly buy this off you if you don't fix it. Feel free to send me a pm as I'm never on here.
It's just soft bricked lol. I've been at this exact screen myself (S10e exynos). Just download Odin, Samsung USB drivers and stock ROM. Connect phone to PC, and Odin should detect it right away if I remember correctly. If not, hold power + volume down until the phone shuts off, then quickly plug it in while holding bixby + volume down. Try messing with it until Odin detects it and then just flash stock. I can assure you, it's fixable, nothing serious.
Hi all,
Im in a desperate and urgent need of help.
My Mrs pixel 7 pro is stuck in a boot loop that restarts 5 seconds after the google writing appears when starting. I wasn't home when it happened but she doesnt really make sure her phone has some battery before turning it on, as soon as she sees 2% she starts it, so im guessing maybe she bricked it while the phone was trying to apply an update when turning it on as she said that the external battery didnt have any juice left inside.
Anyway,
I know i can wipe the phone from recovery mode and make it into a factory reset phone. The issue here is we have over 6000 photos and videos of our son in that phone that she hasnt copied to the external hard drive i gave her for months due to her not liking that her little laptop is slow.
I tried recovery mode Reboot, i tried going into safe mode (no luck as it will go straight into fastboot mode). She doesnt care about a lot of things and obviously she never unlocked the developer setting or bootloader so device state is also locked.
I am begging you, anything any info or advice on how i can get those pictures out of the phone. Is there any way i can flash the stock firmware just to make the phone start and copy them after?
Any possibility or chance or retrieval?
I am willing to pay anyone that can guide me in the right direction as there are over 6 months worth of photos and memories.
Thanks in advance and may the luck be on my side.

If you can enter recovery mode try to sideload the same exact ota package of the rom she's running, maybe that can help. Good luck!

As @acuicultor said;
Here's Googles official OTA updates and instructions etc.
From what i've read briefly and as far as i can gather (still running a stock pixel 7 pro - for the first phone in god knows how long, so i'm not well read on this device but...) if you can sideload the latest OTA update via sideload then you should in theory be able to save the data and boot again. But if you flash full firmware then your device will be wiped in the process (if that's even possible with a locked bootloader).
Very best of luck
EDIT: hmm thinking about it, you won't have enabled USB debugging in dev options, hang on, i'll reboot direct to recovery to see if i can get the device recognised without USB debugging enabled. Sorry to be vague (hopefully someone more experienced with this device will chime in with more advice), like i say, i'm not rooted, flashed with custom rom - nothing, just plain old stock so i've not read up much on proceedures for this device. Bare with me!!
Had another thought, do you or have you been using Google photos to view your images on the device. If so, did you enable backup photos online when you first set the app up? If so, they could be backed up automatically...
Edit: my bad..
Try this link
If that fails just Google 'Google photos sign in'
Just tried from recovery to run some adb cmd's, no joy without enabling debugging 1st
There may be hope... If your photos aren't backed online already from above link...
EDIT:
1. From power off state (make sure the device is charged before apply any ota update) Press vol down and power together. As soon as it boots to google logo, let go of vol down, then power. That will put you in fastboot mode where you use the vol up/down to navigate to Recovery mode and power button to select.
2. Then when you have the screen that says 'no command', press power button and CLICK vol up (releasing vol up straight away but keeping power pressed). That'll take you a blue menu at top of screen.
3. Use vol buttons to navigate to 'apply update from adb'. I have checked using 'adb devices' and 'adb reboot sideload' cmd's on PC and the device is now recognised...
Will write further instructions shortly. (no guarantees this will work tho without losing data...or even if it'll work at all - i suspect the OTA update with just fail to transfer)
OR there is another option, using the same instructions above (1) in fastboot mode use the volume buttons to navigate the menu, power button to select Rescue mode. Then contact your service center for support who will advise/offer support - hopefully, which may end up having to send the device in and still offers no guarantee of preserved data

Following the link it's all explained there:
- no USB-Debugging needed
- booting recovery by key combo
- no loss of any data when using the OTA files
Also turning on USB-Debugging in developer options is not necessary for the recovery. It's enabled by default and moreover the recovery doesn't consider any system settings like disabled/enabled USB-Debugging.

FYI: Stock recovery only uses a minimal adbd with a very limited set of commands. That's why some known ADB commands won't work.
