After a few seconds it turns off again. if i try the reset mode, It just Freezes at the samsung logo after pressing the Windows key twice. Any Help Would Be greatly Appreciated. Thank all You Guys in Advance.

I'm just guessing that you had a custom rom in, just before this happened?

Nope. I really don't know what rom it was running, because ordered this off Ebay.
After it arrived it's just been doing the same thing.

*Update* Now my PC is just not Detecting the phone at all.
I wonder if your USB port is bad and maybe it's rebooting due to low battery?

Nope. USB Port is not bad. And Battery is Fully Charged.
Did you tried the goldcard method,
here is a link for the best and easiest way to do it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597837
give it a try, I'm optimistic for possitive results
but don't forget to use samsung stuffs instead of htc
good luck
I have Samsung focus with a similar problem and have tried each and every thing to recover it but NO LUCK.

This is why I wondered about the USB port.
Same story, after many reboots i was able to boot into OS. Strangely, removing the battery and waiting for a couple of minnutes (maybe more) seems to do the trick. The phone boots up and you can really use it... until the next reset. Installing all the updates - to mango - was a pain in the posterior... and the phone works.. sort of.
I think that these phones are just faulty and if there is a way to return them - do it.
I have a VZW G2 with TWRP installed but the phone won't leave the logo screen. I hold the power button to turn it off but it just vibrates and goes back to the logo. I can't get it to stay off to get into download mode. I've tried both threads to get back to stock but get stuck because I can't get it to stay off so I can get into download mode.

I already had the OTA update and everything working after that. I managed to get it into download mode by holding power beyond the device resetting. When the logo showed up a second time, if I was still holding power, it'd finally turn off and stay off and let me get into download mode. The issue I had after that was when I used WACOMalt's way of going back to stock, I'd get a red error message in the program when it was trying to read my phone. The program hyelton's way uses kept either locking up on me or the update would fail halfway through and tell me to power cycle my device. After downloading the kdz a few more times and trying each one I just finally got it all back working again. I thought I'd leave this post here in case anyone else has a similar issue.

Hold the power button until you get a black screen. Download LG Mobile Support tool and the LG Drivers. Plug USB In and then hold the Power + Volume Up key. On your screen, click Upgrade Recovery. From there, you can do a factory reset through download mode of your phone.

In case you did the latest firmware ota upd,there is a topic that can solve you problem as long as you can access TWRP(even if you didnt do the ota it will,i tried that myself) Here is what you need to do.
use TWRP's "terminal command" option to run the following:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
You'll have to type that whole thing out, and be VERY careful with spaces and punctuation. One wrong letter and you could nuke your phone.
This will probably fix you problem when it has to do with any update.
Thanks for the responses. I finally fixed it.. I started the procedure from scratch with a new laptop and somehow it worked lol

It happened to me and now phone hanged in download mode and can not connect to pc. Did you have a solution?
Solve
Guys! I had the exact same problem today. My solution was to keep pressing the "try again" button every time the error appeared on my computer screen. It took some time but the error was appearing at different levels each time in this order : 45% 57% 65% 80% and next the instalation was completed. If it doesn't work try switching to another computer if you can. After the firmware update hits 100% your phone will restart and the LG logo will appear(the led changes its color during this process). At this point you have to just wait a while. Then a dialog box will appear saying that the applications on your phone are configuring themselves. After that your phone will start and work normaly. The cause of the error is the lack of memory on your phone. If those idiots working for LG would say "YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH STORING SPACE" this stuff would not happen.
The phone is not rooted!(IMPORTANT)
Phone name: LG G2
Phone model: D802
Old software: 4.4.2 (KitKat)
Actual software: 5.0.2 (Lollipop)
I hope this hellped you solving the problem.

Hello
I can't access my LG g2 after trying to wipe the system and it runs on frozen screen. Kindly help out please
My LG x power died and I went to plug it in and a screen popped up saying,"Firmwire Update 0%", so I kept it plugged in for the next half an hour, and it still said 0%. I've tried resetting it and powering it off but nothing seems to be working. What do I do?

Download lg flash tool.
Download lg g2 stock firmware.
Press volume up button and insert usb cable. You will see download mode.
Open lg flash tool and flash the kdz( original firmware) through flash tool.select cse flash.
My LG V20 got stuck on the Firmware Update screen. It appears every time I restart the phone and I have to take the battery out. If I start the phone plugged in it starts normally. I was able to do a factory reset, the phone started normally a few times without being plugged in, now it's back to the Firmware screen. I can use the phone but need to restart when it's plugged in. I hope Oreo Update will fix it. I don't know much about updates, but do big updates like that reinstall the drivers as well?
Hello everyone I also have this kind of experience so many times in my g2 mini.stuck on Firmware update. What I’m doing is,
1. remove the battery to turn it off. Plug your charger and before plugging it to your phone hold the volume down and plug in until tou see the android is updating; or
2. Just simply hold the powerbutton + volume down until you see Android is updating.
I would love to see your feedback if it helps.

When you plug in USB does charge light come on. Sounds like a battery went dead.

I've heard some people are having issues with the charge port and/or cord also. Maybe try another cord and make sure it's plugging in tightly? I think the last person covered everything else.

I had the same problem, it occured while switching from cwm to twrp. i used the unbuntu method ( i think you mean this right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142)
are you sure you were in fastboot mode? because i wasnt and it should say so in the top left corner if you were.
try different cords/ usb ports or even pc's to charge it. my mac couldn't find it at all, my windows did.

For me the brick happened when i was flashing KK with TWRP, during the flashing appears something that said "couldn't not mount system" and the phone shut down and never power up again , no usb no charge, no linux, no nothing, when i plug my device in windows appears that the devices cannot install the drivers, and i've tried all the drivers and still doesn't work
Hold power down until phone is completely off. Then, hold power and down volume until you see LG logo. As soon as you see the LG logo, release and then quickly press power and down again. Hold until you see a white screen. Then go from there.

So all you get is a black screen with you boot? There's probably a way to push whatever file might be missing or even an entire ROM but I lack the knowledge on how to do that. I remember I had to work some magic on my Galaxy Nexus but I used a toolkit so I'm afraid I've got no really useful information for you.
This also happened to me!
I am in the same state.
I rooted the LG, I installed the custom Rom, I installed an updated GAPPS and it wasnt working. I then went and installed another GAPPS overtop and I got stuck in boot loop. After I tried recovery from ADB I tried to restore from TRWP and it didnt take. After I rebooted nothing turned on, no LED, I tried ALL button combinations and nothing comes on at all. I am wondering if the phone died and now will not charge...I started with 60% but the last time i saw it it was down to 15% just thinking maybe it died completely and without any software to boot it wont charge...I have had it on charge for 8 hrs since and still nothing...
Please help!

Saturday evening I got a notification saying 5.0 lollipop was available for my s5 so I eagerly downloaded the update. During the update my phone froze and crashed (had this happen twice earlier in the day) and it rebooted to the update screen. Once the update finished installing the phone rebooted like normal and sat at the verizon screen for about 2 minutes before crashing again. This caused the phone to enter a boot loop that ended up making an open padlock symbol appear on the start screen. After this appeared it took me to a screen that said "System software not authorized by Verizon has been found on your phone". After getting this error I tried using Odin and Kies to reinstall 4.4 on my device. The install was successful but after the phone booted it was freeze and crash again leading to another boot loop and a "recovery booting" message in the top left screen. It now either boots back to the System software screen or loops until it hits the recovery menu. Is there any way to fix this or did Verizon brick my phone?
