I used the toolkit for mac and it unlocked me, but when it came to the next steps it said device not found and then told me to highlight recovery and press start, when I do I get the android with the red ! symbol.
Can someone help me?
That symbol is a security feature within the stock recovery, volume up and power to access the stock recovery.

ADB wont work in stock recovery

edit my adb now won't recognize my phone even though it did a few mins ago...
I'm frustrated, been trying to access the stock recovery for the past several mins and simply can't.
help please?

For me also Stock recovery never worked. Just try to flash CWM or TWRP.
Btw, What toolkit did you use and how did you install the drivers. Please answer these, so that someone can help you better.(Or is it just the 'mac toolkit' ?)
My suggestion: PLZ DO NOT USE TOOLKIT. If you are stuck at some point while using the toolkit, then you'll not know what went wrong and how you can correct it. Do it manually. It is the most hassle-free method. Trust me.
I think that ADB will not work in stock recovery(may be you can boot normally into your phone and then try adb). The thing which you are looking for is 'fastboot'.
1) Restart ur phone (Power Button + Volume Down, i guess) and land in the bootloader and connect your phone to PC.
2) In CMD prompt(or Terminal), type 'fastboot devices'. If your device gets listed here, then fastboot is working and drivers are properly installed. If not, then drivers are not properly installed in your PC. You need both ADB and FASTBOOT drivers. Install them properly.
PS: For MAC, i think the command is slightly different. Something like './fastboot devices' . Please look for the same in this forum or just google it and find out.
3) Follow this guide for flashing CWM and Rooting.

4) For properly installing the Drivers, read " A. Install the drivers " in the below thread (actually you can read the entire thread )

I used the nexus 4 Mac rootkit I found in here.
It unlocked my phone fine. But when it came to installing a recovery and root it didn't.
Neither my adb or fastboot are working now before I unlocked and I messed around and they worked now nada ...
I went to YouTube saw my problem tried pressing volume up and power like in the video and it just gives me a black screen and either turns the phone off or reboots it normally...not sure if in supposed to hold power and let go of volume or vice versa.
I placed all the files on the storage I just need to access stock recovery which I strangely cannot now...
Tried framearoot and got nowhere.
Very frustrating

Just as I mentioned, i also had the same problem with stock recovery. So I simply flashed a Custom one(CWM, in my case)
Get the ADB and FASTBOOT working and that'll solve your recovery problem. Try fiddling with your drivers again. Not sure how to do that in MAC. If FASTBOOT is working, the you can boot into a Custom Recovery(you need not even flash it) and perform whatever you need to.
fastboot -c "lge.kcal=0|0|0|x" boot customrecovery.img
Again, look at the efrant's guide i referred above; i took this from there only.Remember to replace 'customrecovery.img', with the actual downloaded custom recovery image name.
Or you can try posting your problem with the toolkit, in mac toolkit's thread.
I have been youtubing everything and finally got to
Reboot system
apply update from adb
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition.
I now can get adb working so I tried ./adb sideload cwm from my desktop and it is giving me signature verification failed. installation aborted.
What can I do to resolve this?
I searched xda and no one can solve this issue from the threads I've read.
I fixed it! Whooohoooo! Installed cwm and root ....now to install pa rom.
Thanks for the help!

i tryed the drivers still nothing my computer is litterly not reading the phone at all
Same issue here. My pocket got warm earlier and i pulled out my phone and it was in CWM. Rebooting only brought it back to CWM. Phone is not recognized by PC (with correct drivers) and I can't get into download mode at all. Was able to flash TWRP through CWM because i had a zip of it on the phone. But even with TWRP, every reboot to... option just takes me back to recovery.
Install pdanet, while phone is connected in recovery mode to pc open pdanet and install lg drivers through it and then open adb in ur pc and type adb devices and if it sees then open sideload in twrp or cwm and push Rom to phone.

TY omg TY!! so it did read my phone and i did the adb command and now my phone turns on but the issue is now that once it turns on it will go to the lock screen then lock and it wont unlock like the screen stays black any ideas would help im confused lol
Hello everyone,
So ive been lurking on these forums for some time now looking for a solution for the mess I just created, but its been so long now that I want to ask if anyone can help me out now.
The situation is I bought a LG G2 AT&T, and then proceeded to root, recovery and everything was flawless, but I tried to install another ROM and this is went everything went to hell (Im from Mexico). It went all black and with the "Fastboot mode activated" and stuff so I went an put it on download mode and tried by all possible ways, the LG Flash Tool and the LG Flash tool 2014, both ways do not seem to bring back my phone to life.
Whenever I try to install it like this, I get this error with the D800AT FW. I get this error.
And whenever I try to install with D802 FW. I get this one as well.
When I try with the Lg Flash Tool 2014 method. I cant get it to 100%, I always get stuck on 99% And then it crashes.
I am really running out of options here, the phone is recognized by the PC, but I cant get to install a normal working stock ROM.
Any pointers, or help, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
EDIT:
Apparently, I cant post images just yet to show you the exact error. But for the first 2 errors, I get something like this.
"DOWNLOAD FAIL! Check phone or DLL" both for D800 and D802
If you have twrp as your recovery you can adb sideload a rom onto your device from your computer. Google how to sideload adb with trwp installed and follow the instructions. If your phone is recognized it should be fine.

First of all, thank you for your response.
Now, it is still recognized, but I tried to flash it with some DLL a guy provided on this one thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369) and it didnt complete, it just froze on 94% and now I cant get to Download mode.
I saw about the adb sideload, but I cant seem to access to Recovery now. Tried to, but all I get is some kind of bootloop just showing the LG and android with the open belly and then back to LG.

So the three finger method only gets you the android with the belly up? Is your phone still recognized? I'm on Verizon but i think with other phones it's the same process. If you have no recovery you need to tot back to stock. I've only done it once but it did work. This is what i used to fix my problem when adb didn't work. Lots to read but it does work and people will answer if you have a problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190.. Good luck man.

If I try to enter Recovery I enter the stock one and just asks for a Factory Reset... I can not enter download mode now, I get fastboot mode only when I try download mode. Phone is recognized by computer when I connect it, but when I try to enter Download, it does show the device on device manager, but it sounds weird and I cant do anything.
Im really starting to lose it.

If you see hit enter for factory reset (white screen) hit yes. It will enter the recovery. Twrp in this case. If the above program doesn't work but you can get into twrp download a full stock att rom...

In the power off options you have download mode
You can enter it from there
Edit : For using the Download Mode from TWRP, Press Reboot and then Download..

You must be using a wrong combination of keys while trying to boot into download mode
Ok for Now your recovery is working so you can adb push a custom rom from your pc to your mobile (given that you have cwm recovery installed) then just flash it
For adb to work you need correct drivers to be installed and maybe you will also need to manually update the driver through device manager

Thank You very much for the help. Im kind of new to ADB how ever I managed to learn how to use it. So I inastalled it and tried by plugging the devices but S4v device is not detected when the ADB Devices command given. I tried using S duos 2 and detects fine. Im so confused with this. Also didnt the part mannually updating drivers from Android SDK Manager.

You can always use a recovery to get into the download mode.
Flash Stock rom..
Root your phone
Download quickboot from the play store/Wanam xposed.(for activating 4 way boot menu...
Get into Download mode from there..

If you don't have downloade mode, then you probably got a clone.

Hi mate ,
If that is right and if what @Lennyz1988 said is not true you need a USB Jig or a Jtag to get into download mode

Hi everyone, i have a big problem. Today i was trying to help a firend of mine by unlocking his bootloader on this phone but i got a strange message when i was trying to boot in Download mode. The message was:
"fastboot init( )
loading keystore failed status 5 usb init ept @ 0x8f20700
udc_start( )
fastboot: processing commands"
Basically it doesn't allowed me to enter in Download mode, so no reverting to v10f software, no pushing aboot, no twrp and no Marshmallow zip. Nothing at all, i could do nothing. In the following lines i will tell you what i did and tried:
1) Using different PC usb ports, no way to make it work
2) Using different cables, no way to make it work
3) Trying to boot in Download mode by removing battery and try without it, desperate, obviously no way to make it work
I spent two hours trying to find a way to make it work but i failed miserably...so i'm here hoping someone better than me can help me.
NOTES:
The phone was on original Lollipop firmware v10e (Italy) but rooted.
Basically i did nothing, just tried to put it in download mode (Vol - and plug usb in), tried also other ways but nothing showed up
When the phone is connected to pc (when it's on) it charges only, don't show the option to use mtp so... i think adb won't work
Hope it can help and hope you can help! XD

Hi, i tried vol + but the phone just boots... i will try again and let you know in the evening
When device is off hold Vol- and power key until LG logo appear, then release the keys and hold them again, its really hard to time it correctly, but if you do you will get a factory reset option, on that screen you navigate using Vol+ and - buttons and power button is ok

Do you have twrp installed on your phone ? If, yes try to boot into it.
I have a similar problem with my LG Spirit. When it tries to boot, it shows an error message: Boot Verification Fail, DIFFERENT_HASH... After that it just restarts endlessly... I can't enter download mode, because the computer doesn't recognize it when I plug it in via usb cable... The only thing I can do is to get to the hard reset screen, but that is useless because it just restarts and shows the same error mentioned above... I'm out of ideas, the only thing that comes to my mind is to try and see if Ubuntu recognizes it, but then again, there's no LG Flash Tool made for Linux, or is there?
Sorry for mistakes, english is not my native language.
