[Q] Hard Bricked, Security Error Boot Loop D800 after Lollipop OTA attempt. topic

SOCIALIZE IT ⇨

Hey XDA,

I have a D800 that is totally stock. I have no custom recovery, and have never rooted the device.

A couple days ago I got the notification for an OTA update. I hit the notification, and rebooted the phone. It started the update process. It got through the first step. When it started the second part of the update, a black box popped up, and a code like "ERR 0x04ff" or something like that popped up. The phone rebooted, and got stuck in a boot loop with a "Security Error." The phone will boot up, show the LG logo, then show a slightly different LG logo with "Security Error" underneath it, then reboot and start the process over. I started messing around with the power button and volume keys to see what different modes I could boot it into. Initially I could boot it to the Factory data reset screen, the Hardware Mode Keys screen, and I got it into Download mode once. I didn't have any of the software or files available at the time to do anything with Download mode, so I opted to try a Factory reset. The phone attempted a Factory Reset. The little android with wiggly ears, and the spinny cube thingy popped up for about 4 seconds, and the phone rebooted.

Since trying that initial Factory Reset, I have been unable to get the phone into Download mode. I've tried doing the Factory Reset multiple times to no avail. I have not seen fastboot at all.

At this point, the only thing I can do with the phone is boot it to the Factory Data Reset screen, and to the Hardware Keys Mode screen. It will not do a factory reset. The android pops up for about 1-2 seconds, and the phone reboots, and goes right back to the boot loop with the security error.

I'm at a loss at this point. I've called AT&T, and unfortunately my phone is out of warranty by about 3 weeks. So they can't just mail me a replacement. Does anyone have any ideas? I can't seem to get it to be recognized by my PC, on Windows or Ubuntu. I get the feeling that it's just hard bricked, and there really isn't anything else I can try.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)


TL-DR: Totally stock D800, no custom recovery or root. Security Error Boot Loop after OTA attempt. No download mode or fastboot, factory reset is ineffective. Not recognized by PC. What do I do now?
