After installing this theme Theme Animation for RCMix3D Runny 1.3 posted by liamstears, my dhd failed to boot, it stuck at the htc white screen for more than 3hrs now. The problem is, the volume key is faulty, so, i cant boot into bootloader.
I need help to bootloader so that i cant enter recovery and restore my phone. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Try if you have the Android SDK installed you can try to run
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
or
Code:
adb reboot recovery
Just make sure your phone is plugged in.
Or remove battery and press and hold volume down, and power. It'll get you to recovery

Did you read the OP? Volume key is broken...
Your best bid is to try the adb commands as far as I know...

Thanks for the reply, downloading the sdk package now. But, since the phone is not booting, how do I connect it to the computer? With the screen off or while the phone is at the htc white screen? Elaborate pls. Thanks a lot.

Am a noob on adb commands, I need guidance on how to execute the commands. Thanks
Phone needs to be on, so I'm guessing at the white screen. Again, never been in the same situation, so in no way am I sure it'll work...
Thanks, will try

Hi everyone. I tried to downgrade from kitkat on my lg g2 d800 and I followed the guide and downloaded the necessary files but now my phone wont boot and windows can't detect it. I can't get into fastboot...please help
I think you just need to do a hard reset. Unless something went wrong during the flash?
Downgrading requires a factory reset. Power off the phone, press volume down and power button until the LG logo appears then press power again. Should take you to factory reset mode.
Otherwise you can flash KK again using the kdz from download mode (plug to your computer whilst holding volume up I believe)

Pleast try to reboot the phone(if not, just take out the battery.)
Thank you everyone. Something did go wrong during the flash...it just stopped abruptly at 12 percent. I tried doing a hard reset by holding the volume down and then letting go when the logo appeared and then pressing the buttons again. It says resetting in progress but then shuts off.

I think something did go wrong because I can no longer access fastboot by pressing the power button and holding +. Holding the power button and the volume - key and then letting go and pressing them again when the lg logo comes up again, brings up the hard reset menu. But when I confirm the reset the phone shuts off...

Don't know if you have experience with Ubuntu. But its easy to install and the process is easier than it looks.
Check if your phone has some if these symptoms. And please note that you CAN'T use the files provided in the OP. You need the files for D800.

Unplug your device, run the following command and plug the device back in (maybe you have to execute the command again):
dmesg -c
This should show you all USB system events. Your phone should show up as /dev/s<omething>.
However, the phone needs to be powered on. If it shut's itself off, Linux probably can't connect to it ...

Please help, I went to update my magisk to 11.6 as it said, everything else is fine. It's rooted has NATFs ROM on it, 3.2 and everything else was otherwise fine. Then, it rebooted to install the Magisk update and here I am stuck with a phone that won't boot past the LG Life's Good screen. The screen dims slightly after the LG logo is displayed and then nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. I can't boot into recovery or bootloader, and the device isn't recognized even though my computer makes a noise as though it's connected when I plug it in to the computer's USB port.
Please help, I'm really stuck here.

Then unbrick the phone by going fastboot mode
Type "fastboot oem lock (or locker)"
*Then shut off the phone.
*Then do a factory reset by the same combination you do when going to recovery.
*after that try going fastboot again and unlock the oem
*with "fastboot oem unlock(or "unlocker" don't remember
Then you should be able to go to recovery.
BE AWARE : your phone my be wiped so make sure you backup.
Just wanted to say I'm on the same rom and did the update too, but I didn't have any issues thankfully.

I'm a moron. Can I ask for really stupid steps here because I'm kind of nervous about making this worse.
1. I was able to oem lock and unlock, however I still can't get past the LG screen. I can get to fastboot, nothing more
2. I'm sure everything is wiped, I'll worry about later, I just want to be able to get to recovery and nothing is registering at all
3. ADB reboot recovery isn't working at all I get error: device '(null)' not found
Currently, I'm sitting with the device plugged into my computer on fastboot mode displayed on the screen with the command "use fastboot reboot" if the fastboot is available.
fastboot devices shows the following:
LGH918ad448f8 fastboot
Is there a way to get to recovery from fastboot?
ugh, this is so frustrating. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

After you locked the oem. Did you turn off the phone and then factory reset (by pressing volume down and power, after you see lg you then release only power button for a second and press it again)?
Make sure to do this after locking oem and before unlocking oem.

Alright you can theoretically flash the recovery twrp.img through fast boot, after you reflash the recovery you can go recovery from there.
I think typing fastboot reboot recovery

After you do that button combinations it's going to ask you if you want to wipe or factory reset etc, you choose YES twice!. If you flashed recovery before then it'll take you over there after the choosing yes (it's not really gonna do anything just suppose to take you to recovery)
Edit: Okay let me be clear. When you lock the oem you should do the buttons combination. If you do them successfully then it should take you to a white screen. Asking you about confirmation twice. Then it will wipe and factory reset.
Now when you already have oem unlocked, you do the same procedure and which will take you to white screen then you choose YES twice then it'll take you to recovery (if you have successfully flashed it before)

Lol, btw it's volume DOWN not volume up.
So don't even lock the oem, try doing the combination properly now
Edit: so if it still doesn't work then try flashing twrp.img through fastboot there is a command I just don't remember. Make sure you have the .img twrp file locally so you can flash it.

i did choose yes twice, but when exactly did I flash recovery at this point? You write "IF you flashed recovery" I had recovery on here already but can't get to it
at this point, all I can do is see fastboot if I plug the phone into a cable, put the battery in and hold the volume down button down otherwise, I can't get to anything else but fastboot.
I'm at the fastboot mode
I downloaded the latest recovery twrp-3.0.2-1-h918.img (renamed to image.img), I'm trying the following command to push and flash recovery through bootloader but I get the following error
message:
fastboot flash image.img and I see the following error message:

What am i doing wrong?

The proper command is;
Fasboot flash recovery image.img
And make sure the twrp file is stored locally from where you started the command prompt.
If it worked and flashed then try: Fasboot reboot recovery
To go to recovery.
I was able to run the following command from fastboot (looked it up):
fastboot flash recovery image.img
I see the following error message:

thank you so much I hope this works, all the data and stuff can be recovered, didn't/wouldn't lose much, all backed up. It's installing now.

I do a daily backup at about 3am to my SD card. Thought about restoring from it, but then realized this is an opportunity to start all over which is something I was leery to do because I didn't want to set the phone up again. Yet, I'm doing it now to see what was causing the awful battery drain.
hello and thanks in advance. I recently installed twrp on my device and somehow deleted entire os. while in twrp I was informed of this but as luck would have it experienced a power outage, phone died and now adb is not finding device. since deleting os is it possible to get comp to locate it? all I get is the blue led and if I try to volume down power to boot recovery ligts go out. I do get a chime saying something is connected to comp but I cannot locate it. any advice would be great.
Have you tried to follow instructions to reflash TWRP? Can you put the phone in bootloader/fastboot mode?

Maybe missing something here but if can get to TWRP, power off then on holding volume up, you can flash any rom. Not volume down on my phone to get to TWRP, is volume up.

No way if you don't have adb working. Again, if you hold volume up button while pressing power on button, then release power on button as soon as you see boot screen, do you get recovery screen?
No screen reaction at all. Only the led when connected by us to computer it seems to charge and led stays lit blue after fully charged and red when still charging. I was hoping maybe there was a shell comand that would maybe push data enough to get into recovery at least.
MI A1 does not enter the fastboot, appears the message "your dvice software cant'be checked for corruption, please lock the bootloader" Two things, first I am layman, I understand little, the other and excuse the translation, was machine translation.
The message has nothing to do with the Fastboot. That message is a normal reaction when the bootloader is unlocked.

Press Vol- and Power, when Bootloader screen appear just release the power button, so continue to hold Vol- until the fastboot screen.
It's the only procedure for fastboot on our device.

Does your phone have root? If so you can use a reboot app from the play store to boot into fastboot.
Install adb drivers, enable USB debug then open command prompt and type "adb reboot bootloader". Phone should reboot to fastboot mode.

adb reboot bootloader worked kkkk now that the fastboot worked I will solve if I try to put the other rom, or if I leave as is, but if any of you are where I find information on how to change the rom and if it is really worth it, me Please, thank you very much at all
