[Q] Download Mode - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm trying to learn my way around the phone and flashing and I was getting ready to do the Clean ROM flash. I'm currently in download mode and my phone says:
Firmware update Do not unplug the USB connection until the process is complete with a status bar at 0%. The box underneath shows I'm rooted.
Can I just unplug and restart the phone?
I also have twrp installed

NVMD. I just powered it off and unplugged the phone. Mod can close this.

[Q] Is there a way past this screen?

I rooted my SF last night and went to go install CWM. Odin failed and as it did I got this screen below. I cannot get past the screen. My PC doesn't recognize my SF now. I can't boot up into download mode. Is this a perma brick?
Pull usb cable.
Pull battery.
Start Odin.
Hold DOWN volume key.
Plug in USB. >>>Into Download Mode.
Put in battery.
If Odin doesn't detect phone, restart it. Reflash whatever failed.
Profit.
Future reference? Make sure your Odin files are not corrupt, make sure you don't touch phone button, and make sure your USB port is powered and does not suck.
Done and done.

[Q] Screen shot of Download Mode

Hi guys,
I am trying to go back to stock, while entering download mode, I got the screen shot that tells about Firmware Update.
(see attachment). The progress bar stuck at 0%, I have to unplug the USB cable and press power button on G2 for about 10 seconds to reboot again.
Is this normal, or there are something wrong? Also, my pc, Win7 64 bit failed to installed G2 as a USB modem, but success to installed it as a USB serial port.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] I'm SO LOST PLEASE HELP!

I own an LG G2, i recently got this phone yesterday from a person on craiglist. Don't worry i didn't pay him i gave him my older phone i dont use anymore. SO This phone is practically stuck in Firmware Update (As i read that post) , i spent about a day and half figuring it out and what happens is that.
I CAN get into recovery its TWRP v2.7.0.0 by Turning off the phone first and then Holding Vol UP, Power, Vol Down at the same time until the LG Logo comes up and then i am still holding them down, and it says Recovery Mode please wait and bam TWRP.
But heres the problem i can't mount my OTG and i can't ADB Sideload. So what do i do from here?? this guy rooted this phone and soft bricked it i think? and he wiped the phone but i also did when i had the chance and wiped it completly via recovery.
The only way i got into "Download Mode" / "Firmware Update" was to take the back cover off and unscrew a few screws on the side and unclip the battery for a few seconds and then plugged it back in and then I held the VOl UP button and plugged my USB into the phone and the other end is in my PC. My phone says "Download Mode please wait" and then prompted with the Firmware Update screen. BUT my pc doesnt detect the phone whatso ever and i've already installed drivers and etc from this forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 ) its the 2015 method that i downloaded.
so what do i have to do, i havent tried using different usb cables, the port seems fine to be plugged in since in TWRP it says 84+ so i meant its charging right? help me out guys idk what else to do or flash or anything.

I think the methods leave out that you need to change your phone to com port 41 on device manager > ports in order to be detected. Then you need to unplug it and reconnect to computer when the program shows waiting for device, with the phone in download mode already.
Also, to get to recovery you hold vol down and power, when the LG logo comes up release power and hold it again until the reset screen comes up.
To get to download mode you turn the phone off then hold up while plugging the USB cord in with it connected to pc... This launches download mode.

Well you see man , I cant change anything in Device Manager since my phone isn't being detected. It didn't install drivers fully fully since my phone isnt recognized. Even in TWRP or "Download Mode/ Firmware Update" Nothing happens no drivers installing or anything even but it does boot it up to that point....and its just normal boot up i see the LG logo and my led goes from green to blueish in a smooth transition and it doesnt stop until i turn it off. The method i got into recovery is holding all those buttons down its not a problem for me to get into it. I also have another problem it doesn't seem to want to mount my usb otg by samsung.
what do i do
So i tried the otg route but I can't mount it. I have everything connected and once I go into recovery to mount usb-otg, nothing happens.
I just need some way to get a ROM.zip in my phone
Computer does not recognize my phone.
Stuck at LG logo unless I enter recovery.
Sideload doesnt work.
OTG doesnt work.
I've tried at least 4 different guides with no luck.
Why don't you manually install drivers from online?
ive tried

ive tried that already and it doesnt list anything from the LG folder.
I realized the phone will say start the adb sideload feature. so, when i put the "abd sideload file.zip" command on my pc i just wait a few minutes and it says daemon not running on port 5037 and then start successfuly and then error :device not found.
it can seem to reognize my device wether its in recovery, or download mode or fastboot mode.
Try again in other pc that has never been conected to an LG Phone before. It can perfectly be a conflict with drivers installed in the OS.
I've tried man
AFter i cleaned the usb port in one of the chats or forums, i waited a day ovbiously without turning on the phone and cleaned the usb port with alchohal and a q tip and i plugged my phone into my computer and my PC detected something but it only says "Unknown Device" everytime no matter what pc i use it says that. nothing else. but before that none of my pcs would detect theirs a phone plugged in at all.

No there is no problem with your USB cord or port. You need to do following steps.

Need Help with hard brick

Well. First things first. the root of the issue is probably a bad usb port i guess as it's very unstable it even sometimes reboots into download mode on its own when i plug my phone to charge or even gives a Not charging state until i replug it many times then it gives the normal charging (AC) so it's a really messy one.
that's the usual anyway i was rooted and flashed a lollipop rom normally then bugged some apps so i decided to reflash stock kitkat rom however like i said it's a bad usb connection so sometimes the flashing goes slowly and i have to replug the cable for it got smoothly again.
this time i noticed this at 15% and instead of staying in download mode stuck at that the phone rebooted and ofcourse this time only a black screen no download mode no recovery no nothing i guess a typical hard brick? this is my first time dealing with a hard brick so i didn't know what to do at all so i'm still figuring out stuff anyway i installed Qcomm drivers and checked the device manager it's the 9006 one not the 9008 and it shows many drives on my pc (windows 7 64-bit) but no partitions in windows xp 32-bit on another pc and on the laptop it gives no drives i think. i tried with SRK tools it says everything as it should but when it's done i unplug the cable then reboot however still shows many partitions and no download mode.
I don't use my phone alot however i don't own another one so i kinda need help fast please so if anyone has any ideas don't hesitate please.
Thanks in advance.:good:
Update: After following the linux method i now don't have a black screen only stuck on lg logo and still no download mode.
the phone isn't recognized by the pc at all not even 9006 or 9006
the recovery gets stuck at processing and it doesn't say fastboot either on the logo screen.

You must have flashed wrong version of the rom .
After trying the linux method, if you cant get into fastboot mode, recovery or not in download mode, then try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
This requires you to open your phone so be cautious .
Thanks I followed that guide. Download mode after. Using the Windows tool instead of Linux then flash tool normally.

Obviously people are reading this. We don't know what to say, probably because most of us suspect the phone's fall broke something. If the fall did *not* break something in the phone, maybe using TWRP to attempt flashing a rom will work. Do you have TWRP installed? If not, use your computer (and Odin) to do so. Make sure to REBOOT IMMEDIATELY to recovery (TWRP, that is). Unplug phone from computer, replug phone into computer again. It should be recognized. Copy a rom of your choosing to the "download" directory on the phone. Then "factory wipe" the phone. (Do NOT wipe "internal storage"). Flash the rom (and gapps if this is a custom rom). Reboot. And here's hoping it works!

But flash was not successful. Is the phone showing any sign of life? Charging icon on screen when cable is plugged in? Anything? I fear you have broken it.
No sign of life only heating when connected to charger or USB in computer only show Qualcomm port 9008 in pc when I press both volumes+power button
