My phone turns off again and again so I can't see it as device in Ubuntu. Maybe the battery is Empty, but it also turns off when I try to charge it.. No idea what to do

Can you get to download mode? This is accomplished by powering off device. Hold volume up then press and release power button while holding volume up. If you can get to download mode you could use the return to stock method described here:

I've soft bricked several times because of bad ROMs or trying to install TWRP. Once I had all the files, flashing back goes pretty easy.

I installed TWRP while being in JB 4.2, rooting with IORoot25 and the LGFree from the play store. It seemed like I had to install it twice from LGFree but that has been the least trouble for me.

No can't get into download mode. I'll send u the error screen, when I'm at home. Phone is constantly turning off, maybe it's just the battery, but even with the charger it is still turning off after the error screen and the LG logo

This is the error screen. Don't know why it always turns off after this screen.

Seems you flashed a corrupt image why its not booting is because the bootloader says unofficial code trying to write over official code i suggest using freegee or doing it manually which isnt as difficult as it looks just but first flashing back to stock while plugged into usb hold power while volume up try several times the lg g2 is very picky so is the nexus 5

Maybe a unnecessary question but was your phone connected to your PC by USB when you tried to open download mode?

spinninbsod · May 22, 2014

Hmm its definitely not hard bricked hard brick is where it won't turn no indication of life other than an LED and it gets really hot if you don't mind can you give us a link to the recovery you downloaded

tried it both ways, with and without connected phone. Also tried it on Ubuntu and Windows. Did not work..

Tried to use flashify to flash twrp recovery and since the next reboot the error screen appears and the phone is turning off. Can get into the hard reset mode with volume- and power but it's useless.

try this, volume down + power button > when you see LG logo release then Press again. wait for hard reset.

mj2k · May 22, 2014

I can get into hard reset, but can't reset because of the custom recovery

Now sometimes the Red (maybe its Orange) LED is blinking when i press the power button. After a few times the Error Screen appears and it turns of again ... i think i have to send it to LG

I have rooted Lg G2 based on ROM D80220D. Somehow I got it bricked and only showing security error after I turn it on and it stuck there. Any Idea how to fix this?

Hey,

I had this f****ing error too and in fact after displaying that, your phone don't switch off. If you look closely, there is still brightness.
Plus if you plug it on a linux system it should list the devices disks.
You have to edit your partition with the original one via linux.
Someone already gave you the answer :

It took me almost 2/3hours but I was sooooo glad to find back my phone after that so it worth it.
