i have an lg g2 vs980 and i rooted it but have not yet installed a recovery like twrp it is only the very basic root with super user. it decided to install some ota update and now it will not boot past lg screen, white letters flash really fast all i could make out was secure boot error or something. i cannot get it into any kind of download or reset mode, iv tried absolutely everything anyone on this forum has recommended or suggested and nothing works, also when i connect it to my pc running windows 8 it is seen as QSUSB_BULK i have installed the correct updated drivers for my phone and iv manually installed them, nothing i have done will allow my pc to see my phone correctly. when i plug it in it under computer there are local drives f-u that pop up and say i have to format them in order to use them, but they are write protected so i cannot view whats in them, format them or anything. does anyone out there have any kind of suggestion to fix this or am i just completely stupid and missing some big major step? i am also very new to android this is my first android phone lol im a converted apple user haha so the more indept detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated

Has anyone come up with a solution to this? I am very new to Android, I have Rooted my G2 so I could install Custom Rom's. Yesterday I receive a OTA update, I refused it and then later when it came up again was going to refuse it, but my shaky finger touched the screen and started the update! next thing I know I have a $600.00 brick. if you hold the power button down It will flash the LG logo and then NADA, screen is lit but nothing happens. Hold the power button and after a few it will Flash the logo again but NADA again. If you hold the down and power button it will go to the reset screen, but again this will not reset the device. PLEASE HELP!
Thank you.
I have an LG Stylo from MetroPCS. I have first I rooted, then twrp, following the Katana custom rom. Exposed came pre-installed. I attempted to install it. Next came the time to reboot the phone via exposed. Unfortunately I have oem locked, forgetting to leaving it unlocked. When I clicked reboot, the phone turned off but never turned rebooted past the LG screen again. All it will do now is keep flashing something like a secure booting error. There are numbers on the top left side of the screen flashing. I tried using the hard keys but it didn't help. What I did was when I turned the phone on I held the power and volume down buttons and when I saw the LG screen, I quickly let go and held them in again. This got me to the phone asking me if I want a factory reset. Normally by choosing yes, the phone boots into twrp but in my case the phone went back to the flashing numbers LG screen. I tried connecting the phone to a computer but when I plugged the phone into the USB it wouldn't show in my computer, even when I installed LG drivers. If I cannot fix this phone, I will have to pay a lot of money. Can someone please let me know whether this phone can really be fixed?

You are going to have to get phone in download mode and use the LG flash tool to flash it back to factory. Look here for guidance, but be aware this is for a boost model.
Thank you very much for your help. I'm just scared that the phone won't respond to another computer but I'll try. But I have another issue. My LG is one that has the buttons on the bottom. The only way that I know of trying to get the phone into recovery mode is to do it like I described before. But my phone will not go into my twrp.
Hello guys, well while i was trying to upgrade my moto G3 to marshmallow using a factory recovery image, i messed up with some lines of the commands but i didnt noticed it until when i did the "adb reboot" and there was not turning back.
The phone didn´t restarted properly and also i can´t access the download mode neither the recovery mode, i already tried holding the power and volume down keys for a while but nothing. when i do so i can only hear that windows recognizes that a device it's connected and also that is has been disconnectd when i keep pressing.
Screen won't power up for any reason, and also no charging indicator showing up.
¿Any suggestions? Thanks a lot for you help!
I have heard of a one_click_unbrick file which could unbrick your device..although i hv never used it and i have no idea that it will work or not but if you want to try, it requies java on your pc then you can google for this file and instructions to use it..if you do use it do tell me whether it worked or not...and before you try anything ,be sure that you hav really bricked your device. Hope this helps

AFAIK there is no unbrick tool for our G3rd yet, so don't mess with tools made for previous generations of Moto G. You better get it to RMA if you have warranty
Hey guys, I recently rooted my stylus 5g and went to install TWRP. I was able to get it to boot to TWRP, but I believe within TWRP I did the flash wrong as now my device is hard bricked. I cannot get it to show the initial logo, get to the bootloader or I think even EDL. I've tried the Lenovo recovery tool and the Moto all-in-one tool, but essentially all I get now is a black screen.
Any input on what I can do to either diagnose and possibly recover my device? I have the original firmware downloaded, but without being able to get to the bootloader, recovery, or even EDL, I'm at a loss as to how to proceed. I did grab a blankflash for the device, but I'm not clear on how to begin to use that to move forward.
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

Hello friend, honestly I am new to this. In fact I'm looking for how to unlock my moto g stylus 5g xt2131-1 from metropcs to use it with a mobile operator in Colombia. But given your problem, and everything I've researched recently, I would say you could check this video:
in which revive a moto g8+, although it is a different version, it should work if you do the steps as indicated.
Did you ever figure this out? Mine is also hard bricked at the moment. I've been trying to get it to the 9008 mode so I can blankflash but I've had no luck. I see on some phones there is a pair of pins on the board that need to be shorted but I'm not sure which ones. I just bought an edl cable on amazon which should be here tomorrow, hopefully that will get it in the correct mode.

No luck. Only change with the EDL cable is that if I plug the phone in via the cable with the battery unplugged it was a pretty rapid blink vs before it would blink every 10 seconds or so if I held the power button while plugged in to power. The button on the EDL cable had no effect. I then tried to short out every combination of pads on the board similar to the video above. No luck, it just seems to be completely toast. All I did from TWRP is format data and reboot to fastboot. Dead since then.
Is there any more information on this subject?

Here is the pcb picture. Not sure if the number 2 has any significant meaning but someone told me it was one of those points with one by the battery connector. Anyone have any info on this it would be greatly appreciated.

thank god i saw this, i was getting ready to flash TWRP even just unlocked my bootloader and everything, not taking this chance! i honestly got so many phones to root, unlock the bootloader, flash new roms, but litterly all of them have at least one problem.. (my devices range from lg to motorola, zte, htc, samsung...) i had a moto g play, but i tried to flash TWRP from magisk, and looked like it was stuck in boot loop, then used motorola tool, and fried it.. litterly didnt show any sign of life after, (I dont thing it was motorlas tool, i think it had something to do with me trying to flash TWRP, anyway, the screen looks like an explosion! had more fun hitting it with a rubber mallet than getting frusterated, and maybe fixing it...

But it didn't work. Now my phone is bricked. It's powered off and I can't turn it on again
It doesn't respond to anything
Pressing Powerbutton - Nothing
Pressing Power + Volume Up/Down - Nothing
Hold Volume down and connect to PC - Nothing
Connect to the Adapter for charging - only showing the Led light
ADB doesn't recognize the phone
Flashtool responds "Device disconnected"
So I can't flash back stock ROM
Please help me out. What went wrong? How can I fix it? Is it repairable or is my phone hard bricked?
Thank you for your answers

Yep my phone did the same thing. There is some glitch with TWRP for this phone that hard bricks the device. There are several posts here with the same issue. I tried what this video suggestion with every combination of contacts on the board. I bought an EDL cable as well and nothing would bring it back to life. I cannot recommend TWRP for this phone at this time.

Yes, Same. Nothing worked with it. I bought a new phone. I hope we find something in the future to fix it.
