[Q] Bricked After Software Update - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys
So I was rooted with a Kitkat 4.4.2 Custom rom "SR Remix" and T-mobile pushed the lollipop OTA updated to my phone. I did the stupid thing of restarting and installing, From there my phone only reboots into the TWRP menu.
I've tried flashing the old kitkat rom, and also restoring my phone via LG flash tool using the TOT file. However this does nothing. I keep getting a can't switch to downloading and then the flashing fails. I have tried all the methods that forum have to offer but still not luck?
Can Anyone help.
Thanks
GH

Well. Soon after I posted this I decided to use the .kdz method and it worked...

[Q] NEED HELP: LG F180k After update to kit kat 4.4 Touch not working

Dear friends
I would like you to help me out with the strange problem which encountered me this week. Here's the background: I bought Lg f180k (Korean version of Lg Optimus G) with a stock rom i.e Jelly bean 4.1.2. When i checked for updates OTA in phone settings i received a notification of firmware update. I clicked on update and the process started. Everything was normal till it rebooted as it came with a popup message saying "Device has been suspected to be rooted" and the update failed. Than i connected to the pc suite and put the phone in DL mode and start the process again on the pc. This time everything went normal and the phone updated successfully and rebooted. Here comes the main issue, When the phone rebooted after the successfully update the touch was not working at all. I touched every single area on the phone screen but nothing works. And i could see the interface of Kitkat firmware that means it was updated successfully. Please help me to find out the problem. My phones touch screen stop working when update to Kitkat. I restored to stock jelly bean and the phone is working flawlessly. I am really confused and i have searched everywhere but couldn't find this issue on the forum.
TIP: Phone is working perfectly on 4.1.2 stock rom.
When update to Kitkat 4.4, Touch screen stop working at all but the power button still works.
Thanking you in advance.
Seems like the update failed, I suggest flashing the latest KDZ using LG Flash Tool 2014. Try searching the forum for links to get KDZ and Flash Tool. Don't worry, you're lucky it didnt bootloop or get bricked.

Thanks mate.... I tried the solution you told me but still the same. I used the latest KDZ file that is: f180k30c_00.kdz and Latest Lg flash tool 2014. Everything goes perfect with the upgradation process till reboot, No TOUCH on kitkat
I tried the sling custom rom (Sling_TJF_G_F180_v1.2.3_blueberry_29042014) and it works perfectly.
Please anyone help me to update it to Kitkat ....

Hey
I tried every file of kitkat but nothing worked. Even i tried the custom sling rom for kitkat but encountered same problem. Everything goes perfect with the upgradation process but after reboot touch stop working at all. It seems like my phone typically doesn't support kitkat rom :-/ its strange. If you find any useful information kindly share with me. Currently i am using sling custom rom for jelly bean and its working flawlessly. Thanks

[Q] Possibly bricked g2 help!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there guys i bought the sprint g2 quite a while ago and have been dangling with roms for quite some time on it the problem that i'm sharing with you guys arised today.
I flashed the newest version of Resurrection Remix 5.4.6 on it and while it worked buttery smooth it had no sound whatsoever and couldn't auto-rotate so i flashed the lp baseband and zv8 modem on it to see if it remedies that, no solution, so i reverted it back to 5.4.5 with my nand backup, it worked fine until i found out i couldn't d2w when it was working flawlessly before so i flashed(foolishly) the kitkat baseband and this leads me to the problem i'm sharing with you people.
My phone is now stuck in a bootloop restarting to the lg screen again and again, giving me a secure boot error on download mode so i can't use the .tot and .dll stock files on it and i can't seem to get into hard factory reset so i can just get into twrp and flash the lp baseband again and relieve me of this nightmare it also gives me multiple windows drives with one accessible one with an image folder when i go to download mode
[EDIT] fixed it somehow got into recovery and flashed the lp modem, can a mod close this?

LG Based roms bootloop. Cyanogen is fine.

As title says when I flash or install a recovered LG based rom the handset gets into a bootloop. Lollipop or MM doesn't matter.
I see the BIOS type of screen for a few seconds then 3 seconds of boot animation and back to BIOS.
Cyanogenmod 13 based roms work just fine.
background: After receiving MM ota update rooted and downgraded to lollipop. Installed a modem file in the process as well.
Then I decided that I don't like it either. FLashed cyanogenmod straightaway.
Then flashed genesys rom which is LG based 6.0.1.
Still no problems.
Installed xposed framework and the bootloops started.
Then I run the xposed uninstall script, wipe everything and install LG MM rom. bootloop again.
Sorry for the long post. Didn't know which detail is relevant so wrote it all
Any help would be much appreciated as I am stuck with cyanogen...
Try to go back to stock with lgup
lgup doesn't recognize the handset when CM is installed.
Anyway finally found a solution after trying every trick in the book. Basically flashing modem, boot and bootloader solved the problem.
Now I need to find a way to flash xposed framework without bricking the phone.

T-Mobile IMEI/baseband gone...help!

My mom has had a z2 force for almost 2 years...no issues, now all of a sudden data and wifi are gone and the phone doesn't have an IMEI. Seemingly after an ota update. As it's already old o figured I'd try to flash a rom to fix. I've tried returning to stock with the most recent flash all, the last flash all, tried installing lineage, tried installing 10 potato...nothing is working! Anything else I can try to get this working again???
I also tried to run other flashalls from xda, but didn't see a .bat file in the zip file....only a flash file...is there something else I'm missing? Sorry I'm not really proficient in motos
Mom wasn't dabbling in the dark arts known as pie was she? If not then you should be able to flash the latest TMO firmware then do a factory reset from recovery to restore the baseband.
She was still on Oreo when everything happened .....I attempted to flash the latest firmware, but still no luck...that's when I tried to install a pie rom---no luck there either

The trick to restoring baseband is the factory reset from recovery, not a reset from settings or anything else. As for trying to flash a pie rom, hopefully it was just a rom and not a pie firmware. If anything took from a pie firmware you might be sol.
It was just a rom, no pie firmware at all. I tried restarting from recovery and everything to no avail...is there a specific flashall you would recommend? I tried both the March and August T-Mobile ones...don't know if anyone has had success with a different one?
