Hard Bricked - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Hi.
Long story short I hard bricked my LG V30 (I never thought it would happen to me, lol). I have no access to TWERP, download mode or fastboot. I only get the "no command" message.
Reset button dance doesn't do anything except go to no command.
Is there any last resort or should I sell it for parts (as it's in perfect condition otherwise?)
It's the H931
Kind regards,
ZabbenW

You said that you have no access to recovery or download mode, but, just in case and before you do anything risky, verify that you've tried the following exactly:
To enter recovery:
1. Turn off the phone by holding down the power button for several seconds.
2. Hold down the Volume Down and power buttons simultaneously.
3. When the LG logo appears, release just the power button and then press and hold it again.
4. Continue holding both buttons until the "Factory data reset" menu appears.
5. Choose Yes twice. With TWRP installed, it will enter that rather than perform a factory reset.
To enter download mode:
1. Turn off the phone by holding down the power button for several seconds.
2. Hold down the Volume Up button.
3. While still holding it down, connect the phone to a Windows PC with a USB cable.
You can now run patched LGUP on your PC and flash a KDZ.

That's what you need to do. It's somewhat involved, but at least you're not risking anything: The phone is already bricked

Sorry, this is completely unrelated from the current topic but I reallly need help..I tried to flash a rom on my HTC but thr preloader got corrupted xo my phone go hard bricked. Pluging the phone into a computer just shows a red led and the computer shows nothing in device manager.
I tried uninstalling the MTK Preload VCOM driver and reinstalling it but that still didn't work.
Even pressing volume keys while connecting still gave nothing.
I also tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting the phone to the computer but still nothing.
If there is anyone, please help me.....
I need to unbrick my phone................... I am begging, please help me.

[Q] Hard bricked Note 3

I'm afraid I made of hard bricked my note 3 ( yes I know this may be hard to do)... I tried installing clockwork mod and rooting my N900-Canadian Version. I am now a continuous loop in which my phone is trying to continuously go into boot mode not the actual startup screen. ODIN is not detecting it because it's not starting up. I cant put it into any other mode either. What do I do?

i think your device have been soft brick, just with boot loop or loop on recovery, if you use philz's recovery version, you can flash a zip file to resolve the end of this problem, i don't know what recovery version that you're using. Now, you must take your device return the time you begin with the tools like kdz tool, or flash tool on lg devices.

Thanks for the help.. It's was actually a soft brick then but now my device wont turn on. Can't enter recovery mode at all. It's a hard brick. I've seen a post where they explain how to perform an unbrick but I'm not sure if I need a specific debrick,img file for my N900w8 to mount on my micro SD card. Can you help me out?

Pretty sure that no Samsung phones made in the last couple of years gets into Download Mode like that any more.

Please help me,what can i do?I have the Phone only since 2 two days,an i wouldnt lost it Unhappy
Sorry for my bad english
Can you still get into twrp? With the phone off hold power and vol down til LG logo comes up the release and press again after. Should take you to a menu, just hit yes. If it takes you to recovery just hit factory reset and it'll,take you to twrp. If so, I'd recommend putting a Rom onto an sd and flashing it. You'll lose everything but it's better then losing this beautiful phone

You obviously didnt read his post correctly. He stated that when he gets to the factory reset area which leads you to Recovery Mode/TWRP it shows the LG logo appears and nothing happens.
As for you my friend if you are able to somehow get into download mode with a button combination you have a chance at saving yourself by using a TOT or KDZ file to restore your phone to stock software. But i also have a question for you.........Why the hell would you allow an app to flash a recovery file that has nothing to do with BUMP'D? The Bump'd recovery for our phones is specific to our phones! You should never auto update any recovery unless stated its ok from the Bump'd developers, Which they never did or will because our TWRP Recoveries are different than any other phones because of the bump'd implementations with in them and the boot.img's. Sounds to me like you may have screwed up your partitions and/or boot stack. Your are better going on IRC and requesting the help of TheCubed/IOMonster and AutoPrime, but mark my words you will face some heavy criticism from members of the IRC channel when you explain this story to them. But they are always willing to help.
I dont know why i have done it,im new on Lg.Before i had an HTC there is so many other.I will aks that guys.I hope i can save my new phone.
But the Problem is,i dont get into download Menu,i did everthing

[Q] Moto E won't do anything after firmware update

Hi, I have a Motorola Moto E.
After i Unlocked it in bootloader and erased all data with fastboot and adb. I did a recovery with TWRP.
I tried there many things because it said that there was no OS installed.
The last action I did was trying to install a firmware update. (OnePlusFirmware)
After that it asked for reboot so i did, but the screen remain black. I can't start it with hold or Vol Down + Hold. Also with the USB Cable to the computer it won't do a thing.
The only thing what I see is the LED light at the top Flashing sometimes.
It look likes bricked but many unbrick solutions required the bootloader/download mode and that can't I get to.
Can somebody please help me? Thank You

Assuming you are on Windows: what does the device show up as in Device Manager when you plug it in? Also, while it is plugged in to your computer, press and hold PWR + VolDn for 10 seconds, then release PWR while still holding down VolDn for 3 seconds, then let go of VolDn too. After doing this, refresh the list of devices in Device Manager. What do you see in Device Manager then?
If you see something along the lines of QHSUSB-DLOAD, I'm afraid you've bricked your device. If you are in that state, it will have to be blank flashed at the very least, and certain device identifiers may need to be reprovisioned as well depending on how badly it broke it. I don't think the blankflash files are publicly available for this device, so if this is the case, you'll need to take it to Motorola for repair.
If you are able to get the bootloader to come up by following the steps I mentioned above, then you will probably be able to fix your device by flashing factory images.
If something else shows up, post it here and we'll see what can be done.
And remember, NEVER EVER flash firmware for a different device, particularly if it is a completely different device (like the OnePlus One).

soft bricked my phone... desperate for help..

alright guys, so here's the story. just yesterday i bought a brand new lg v10, got it home and the first thing i did was root the device and used ADB to load TWRP following the instructions here on SDA to a T for the ROOT/RECOVERY setup. and it worked. all was fine and dandy, the first time i booted into TWRP via ADB after root i got in, flashed a debloated ROM + xposed and again, everything went fine.. loaded into the OS of the new ROM, went through setup, turned on USB debugging, clicked always allow this computer, installed xposed app yadayadayada. I then, using ADB again, loaded into TWRP. i created a backup there just in case something went wrong with the changes i was about to make and once the backup was complete i loaded back in to the OS. at this point i thought i had done everything right and was confident that if i made system changes that didn't work out i could just flash the phone with TWRP from the backup i made. right? WRONG! ...apparently... so anyways, i made my first change, which was to use a NONROOT app called texdroider or whatever to change my DPI (as i have done with a couple phones previously without much issue) but i didn't take into account that stupid second screen... making the DPI changes system wide, as i'm sure those of you that know this phone are aware, causes the systemUI to crash with an error.. making the OS unusable.. so i tried to load into TWRP by holding the volume down and power button.. but instead it just booted me to the factory recovery.. not TWRP... the phone is unusable within the OS, i can't get the phone to connect to adb to boot into twrp as i had previously, i can't seem to get the phone into download mode, and i can't boot to TWRP and the OS is junk at this point.. but it DOES say on the "LG" screen that the bootloader is unlocked so i'm really hoping i'm not completely out of luck.. but i am not sure what to do at this point. does anyone here know of anything i can try to get into a custom recovery at this point? if i could get into TWRP my SD card in the phone has a backup, the original image, not to mention i could pull the SD card and add anything i need via my pc and then boot back to twrp etc etc and i would have no issue fixing the phone... i really don't understand what i did wrong or why i can't boot to my custom recovery but i'm at a loss.. i'm just looking for a way to force the phone into a custom recovery... or restore the original factory image.. if you have any advice at all i would really appreciate it.
Thanks for reading
**UPDATE** this may or may not make things much easier... but I got download mode working!! so at least there's that, still no custom recovery and i'm currently looking for a KDZ or TOT file to flash via lg flash tool... hopefully that makes things easier..
When you say you got to the factory recovery, what was that, an Android on its side or something asking you to factory reset your device? If it was the factory reset screen, if you select yes and then yes, it will take you to TWRP if you have it installed. If you don't it will factory reset your device.

To boot into recovery from power off, you hold volume down & power. When you see the LG logo release and press power while continuing to hold volume down. Then as said above, it come up as a factory reset, select yes each time, and it should boot into twrp, providing you installed it correctly.

it was a screen asking me to do a factory reset, i click yes, it asks to confirm, i click yes again and then it "successfully" factory resets my phone... it shows the android factory reset symbol that its resetting, then says that its "optimizing apps" and goes through that whole process.. but when it finally loads the "welcome" screen (so i know for a fact that some sort reset has taken place) i get the same "systemui has crashed" error and the OS is unusable and won't connect to my computer.. idk why i can't access TWRP.. i booted to it 3 times before this happened, though never by the hardware buttons on the phone.. everytime i booted to TWRP i had used ADB to boot to TWRP.. what makes me the most sad is that i have a nandroid backup on my SD card... but i can't flash it without recovery.. which i can't install on the phone without getting into the OS..
is there any way to install TWRP or even boot to a temporary TWRP so that i can do so? if i can flash my nandroid i'm saved.. if i can get into a custom recovery i'm saved.. if i can find a .kdz file to flash, i'm saved... if i can get my phone to be recognized by my computer/adb i'm saved.... there simply has to be a way to unbrick this phone...

well i seem to have somehow NOT installed TWRP correctly because it just proceeds to factory reset my phone.. which for some odd reason doesn't reset the DPI... leaving me stranded... is there any way to get ADB to see my device in its present state? my computer makes the device recognition noise when i enter download mode and i can see it in device manager but not my computer or ADB
I've had this phone just over 2 months but I'm not positive, is download mode the same as the bootloader on this device? If so, fastboot commands should work, and you can flash TWRP again, or do 'fastboot boot TWRP_filename' and it will boot TWRP temporarily.
Oh, and the factory reset just wipes your data, but otherwise doesn't restore your system to factory state. That's why your dpi change remained.

dude.. then what good is a factory reset?!? like seriously... and yeah, i tried that but i can't get adb to connect in download mode.. the device doesn't show up when I type "adb devices" like it did when i first rooted it. ... and i thought i followed the instructions exactly as it was laid out from this link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/guide-how-to-root-lg-v10-easy-t3274699
i think somewhere in there i must have missed something and ended up only booting into twrp temporarily.. which is certainly possible since i never boot to twrp during that initial process from the hardware keys or soft keys.. always through adb.. the phone was already plugged in.. typing the command was a couple keys away..
is there anyway to get TWRP on to the phone now? or am i screwed :'(
Well, it is a factory restore for the average user, because the average person isn't modifying their system. But no, I'm sure you're not screwed. If you're in the bootloader you can't use adb, you're already past that step, so you can skip to the fastboot part. What happens when you type fastboot devices? If the phone shows up then you can either fastboot flash or boot TWRP..

from what screen should i be attempting this? hold volume up with phone off and plug in to computer to enter download mode? should i try it at the factory reset screen (volume down plus power)? those are the only two screens i seem to have access to.. in download mode my pc/adb just doesn't recognize the phone.. it doesn't show up as a proper device like it did before this whole thing and in that factory reset mode i get nothing.. the download mode seems like its built for LG and runs from different drivers because in device manager it shows up with an error code that it couldn't start the device (this was not the case when i was using adb to unlock the bootloader and then using the bootloader to boot to TWRP..) what am i missing?

No problem buddy, and sorry for the confusion. You want to be on the bootloader screen, so here is what you can do: turn the phone off(or remove the battery if you have to, and put it back in), plug the usb cable into the computer only(not phone), hold volume down on phone, plug the usb cable into the phone. That should get you into the bootloader, and then you should be able to fastboot flash or fastboot boot TWRP.
Waiting for a resolution to this thread!
I'm pulling for you from the cheering section. (otherwise known as afraid to do it myself section!)
I'm pretty sure others have come through this exact situation unharmed (I've pretty much read every thread here.) so it's only a matter of time before you get this figured out.
Here's hoping it's sooner than later.
Sorry I can't offer more besides encouragement!

@ngoblirsch Along with the information provided in these suggestions and what you have said, you need to reinstall your LG/fastboot drivers on your PC while in fastboot mode

OH DEAR GOD THANK YOU!!!!
I spent all damn day yesterday trying to figure out how to get to the bootloader on this phone.. everything i read online said to hold volume down PLUS power while plugging it in and it was NOT working lmao. dude, thank you so much. after i read that comment here it took me about 30 seconds to connect to adb and boot to TWRP. This thread can be listed as RESOLVED!
Thanks again!! can't wait to start tweaking this awesome phone!

Well I appreciate the encouragement, it sure seems to have helped! Issue has been resolved. ended up that i just didn't know the hardware key combination to get to the bootloader/fastboot mode without being already connected to adb. nothing that i could find online said to hold volume down while plugging it in to a computer. as soon as i was able to do so i connected to adb and it was a breeze from there; I am now back with an OS AND a customer recovery properly installed on the device!! I will be hanging around these forums for as long as i have this phone so i'm sure i'll bump into you guys! absolutely love the community here on XDA, you guys are freaking awesome!!

OH DEAR GOD THANK YOU!!!!
I spent all damn day yesterday trying to figure out how to get to the bootloader on this phone.. everything i read online said to hold volume down PLUS power while plugging it in and it was NOT working lmao. dude, thank you so much. after i read that comment here it took me about 30 seconds to connect to adb and boot to TWRP. This thread can be listed as RESOLVED!
Thanks again!! can't wait to start tweaking this awesome phone!

What happened before arriving at the error? I had a G5 and hope that won't occurred.

To enter download mode:
Turned phone off by removing the battery
Reinserted the battery without the USB cable plugged in
Pressed volume up and kept it pressed
Reinserted the USB cable while still keeping volume up button pressed
(As I mentioned, this didn't work the first few times around and I don't know why. Apparently, persistence paid off.)
To reflash the stock ROM:
Google-searched for this phrase: lg firmware h850
Note: I'm not yet allowed to post links. Your results may vary. There was a result at a domain which includes the words "lg" and "firmwares". That one I chose. Hope that's vague enough.
Also note that there are other sources of this image, I'm sure I've seen something here on the forums.
Downloaded the image H85020i_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0628.kdz (I had trouble with an image version that was less than 20i (10c I believe). Again, your mileage may vary.)
Booted into Windows because (sigh) LGUP, which is used to flash the above image onto the device, is only available for Windows
Acquired UPPERCUT along with the correct version of LGUP and the latest drivers
Started UPPERCUT which in turn started LGUP
Note: this will only work with your device connected and in download mode.
Selected the image mentioned above (click the File path column of the BIN file row if I remember correctly), selected upgrade, started and waited
Had a cup of tea to calm me down after a day's work of messing with my phone
After the phone rebooted, I reset it to factory settings
(you may run into an issue here with a password that you're supposed to enter, don't remember what I did there but as far as I understand it entering it wrong enough times will factory reset your phone as well)
[Optional stuff from here on out I guess]
Unlocked the phone again (fastboot flash unlock unlock.bin)
Flashed TWRP again
Installed LineageOS again
Hope that helps, good luck with your phone!
