Bricked my LG G2 D802, please someone help me, I have no idea what to do next.

Hello!

I have rooted my phone today. i wanted to install some rom but first I tried to install TWRP so I can back it up. I tried a few different methods and tools, but nothing worked. Eventually I followed this tutorial: http://www.android.gs/install-twrp-recovery-lg-g2/ (I don't know if I'm allowed to posts links here...) about 5 times because everytime I forgot something. It still didn't work so I just give up. I re-booted my phone and I noticed some error in upper left corner, along with LG logo. But I still could boot it if I keep pressing power button. After that, some update showed up (I don't know which... :/) so i installed it and re-booted. And then there was error "secure booting error boot certification verify" and nothing works. I tried every combinations possible but I still cant boot it. The only thing that shows up is that error and LG logo and then it goes black (but it's still on). When I connect it to my PC it creates 12 empty 'local disk' and one 63,9 mb local disk (with folder 'image' and files in it). I tried this already: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 using VirtualBox + Unbuntu but i'm stuck at the beginning. When I type "ls /dev/sd*" it only shows me the first " /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5 " and nothing else...

I'm seriously pissed off at me right now, last time I bricked my phone 2 years ago and I promised myself not to ever play with any of this stuff and now I got my new phone and screw it up next day. Yeah I got it for one day and I screwed it up already.

I'm freaking out, can someone please help me?

It might be you have sent the recovery Image to the wrong partition, in the mean time you will have to read what you have done, and maybe see if you selected something incorrectly, you may have to get another phone while you see if you can fix the broken one. I take it you have tried all boot options and no reset is available ?
I recently broke a working phone it is annoying, but you live and learn.

Will your phone enter download mode? While it's fully powered down, hold the volume down and plug in a usb cable that's plugged into your pc. If you can get there, you're OK, there are options.

After you do the dvb and it gives out 5 partitions, have you tried typing the name of the largest which would be 5 and seeing what happens

One thing that comes to my mind is that maybe the recovery image is not comptabilite with my phone. I know that when I tried to install TWRP with TWRP Manager it gave me an error when I chose g2d802 in device name so I didn't do it. The first link (tutorial I used) I posted, I used "openrecovery-twrp-2.7.0.0-d802" but I'm 99% it's the right one for my phone?

You mean that "/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda5" thing? I did that but it doesn't do nothing.

Try this method

Then boot from the usb stick(don't install ubuntu..just boot)

open terminal

copy and paste this - line by line (enter)

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount False

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount_open False

Then follow the instructions

At that point, press and hold the power button for 30 seconds to make sure its off completely. Then try download mode again. If you've already been doing that, disregard.

OK it works!!!! I guess all I had to do is get some sleep and think fresh. =) Now that I'm in TWRP i'd like to install a rom, Am I safe to do it? I was thinking about Pardus HD but I have 2 questions.
1. I'm in TWRP but the computer doesn't detect my phone, how i am supposed to copy PardusHDC_7.1.zip to my phone?
2. it says "Upgrade your Recovery to TWRP 2.7.0.0 or Latest Philz Recovery" in installation guide, I have v2.6.3.2, will that make any difference?

I think you need to update recovery or else install will just fail because of outdated files

Hi, I am facing the exact same issue as you described. I am using a LG G2 D802 international version. I did everything I could find on the internet. Could you please help me by telling how you got it working?? I am using a bootable USB of ubuntu and lsusb is showing my phone as Qualcomm 9006 but when I type ls /dev/sd* it is not giving me the device due to which I could not push the partition files. Please dude help me it has been 5 days since I am trying. You can PM me on my email devanuj.singh@gmail.com

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I saw your reply on the post which is related to the same issue I am facing since last 5 sleepless nights

. I have a LG G2 D802 international variant and it had kitkat 4.4.2 earlier which I have successfully rooted. I recently received an OTA which I clicked to update [worst day of my life

] after that my phone is stuck in boot loop and rest you know. I trying to use ubuntu to push the partition files and recovery, but my phone is not detectable in ubuntu. lsusb is showing my phone as Qualcomm 9006 but when I type ls /dev/sd* it is not showing my phone. I saw your method in the quote and tried this also but it is still not working

. Could you please let me know how can I solve this? Also by using the commands above does the phone needs to be connected or not ?? Please help me

. You can PM me on devanuj.singh@gmail.com.

Thanks is advance
