Hey guys,
So I got my G2 today and rooted it using the recommended root thread(IOroot10). It completed successfully and installed SU onto my device. It didn't actually ask for any permissions when i opened it and when I attempted to update the binaries it fails because I never get the toast about granting permission. So I factory reset and tried again. It didn't work the second time either. I thought maybe it's because I didn't take the latest OTA, so I factory reset one more time, took the OTA, and am now stuck in boot. I can't get to any recovery or download mode.
The phone boots the LG logo then gives me a boot loader secure check real fast that it fails. After that it goes to a black screen and there's nothing I can do.
When I plug the phone in and let it get to the black screen, it creates a ton of virtual USB drives (16 to be exact). The first one contains a write protected folder named image which contains the files modem.bxx, mlserver.bxx, mc_b2.bxx, adsp.bxx, cmnlib.bxx, dxhdcp2.bxx, isdbtm,.bxx,
mba.bxx, playread.bxx, tqs.bxx, wcnss.bxx, widevine.bxx, where the xx in .bxx is replaced with sequences of 00 up to 26 in some cases. The rest of the drives it creates are empty.
Any sign of a recovery is completely gone, and I have no idea where it went
This is what appears in the top left of the screen when the LG splash pops up for a split second and goes black

Things I've tried:
+Completely power off:
-Hold Vol Up and plug phone in (doesn't work)
-Factory Hard Reset (doesn't work)
-Hold Vol Up + Down and plug phone in (doesn't work)
-Power on, press Vol Up at vibrate (doesn't work)
+The phone never makes it to a point where I can ADB into it. I get the splash screen(with error) and straight to the black screen.
+Completely drain the battery and plug it back in to charge up. I end up with the same issue.
+Fastboot will not recognize the device, so flashing the recovery that way isn't an option.
-Could be a driver issue, but I think the phone just never makes it to a point where I can use fastboot.

Perhaps I'm missing something in that thread, but none of it applies to me.
The link to the other thread for if you can't get into download mode only talks about having TWRP installed on the device, which I don't.
And the rest of it is if you have ADB access, which I don't as well.

To get into download mode the G2 needs to be connected to the computer and upon turning on immediately press volume up. Compared to other devices, it's a weird way to do and may take a couple of tries to successfully boot into.

I'm still having no luck. I've read nearly 4 different ways to enter download mode for the vzw version and none of them have worked yet.
Holding the power button itself just restarts the device and it heads right back into the black screen. If I continue to hold the power button after it restarts, I get the LG splash again and then it shuts off.
It seems like the stock recovery is completely gone, but I don't understand why I wouldn't be able to get into download mode because of that.

The device itself will not turn off without me holding the power+up button for around ten seconds. Holding the power button itself just restarts the device and it heads right back into the black screen.

If you're phone is responding then there's still hope. Did you try this method to boot into download?
Power off your G2, press Volume Up & Down key and then plug in the usb cable (enter to a download mode)

I have tried every button combination there is and still no luck It's really frustrating.
Try keeping USB plugged into both computer and phone. Hold power button down, as soon as u feel the haptic feedback from the reboot hold down the vol+ button.

truckroot, that does indeed work, I actually messed with my build.prop file today and it soft bricked my phone. It would turn on you'd see the LG logo and a black screen, man I was livid. So later I was going to to have it replaced under warranty, I called Verizon and what not and he told me to press this button combo and I got straight into CWM, holy crap that was quite an easy fix for me. Here is the key combo under "Alternate Method"
http://support.verizonwireless.com/support/devices/knowledge_base.html/87344 Hope it helps in some way, if the other ways still won't work for you.

Yeah, I tried modifying an apk and got caught in a bootloop prior to button combo on recovery being available, so I thought I was screwed. Finally managed to get into download mode as I described and all was well.

I've tried installing a drivers to what shows up in the device manager when I plug the phone in, but Fastboot still won't recognize the device. And as i've said before, ADB won't recognize it either.
Any possible suggestions?

When you hold these two buttons and you see the LG logo, release and hold them again fast until you see factory reset screen. At this point press the power key three times and you will go to recovery. An press the thanks button here.

I think you have have to hold for 5 seconds to completely power down.
Hold vol- and power key and when logo pops up release power key and again hold power key then Reset screen should display. Press power until it starts factory reset which will dump you into Recovery.

maybe try to reinstall the usb drivers and replug the phone

Rooted my Lg G2, downloaded freegee, installed TWRP, turned off and wont turn on. no boot loop or anything. if I hold power+volume-down long enough it will flash a red LED but nothing else. will not connect to my computer. PLEASE tell me if there is any way to fix it.
Take out usb power. Switch off. Wait couple seconds. Press power button, and on LG screen press volume down and power at same time and keep pressed. Then it reboots into factory reset. Which is twrp. Wipe cache and dalvik and boot again.

The LG logo never appears.
ok turn off, keep pressing volume up, power cord in whilst pressing, do you get download mode? if so reflash kdz or update recovery via lg mobile suite.
if that doesnt work, try installing drivers on computer again, reboot computer, turn on phone connect, check if you can adb to it, then there might.be some how to adb recovery on it, as well as pushing a rom on it. maybe.
did you check twrp size before putting it on? also was it correct version for your phone version?

Hello.
I have an LG G2 802 that i managed to royally screw up last night, I was about to install the new firmware update for my phone, completely forgetting that i had a custom rom installed on it. After the firmware update was finished downloading, the phone rebooted into TWRP and would not boot normally after that, could not boot into the previous custom rom i had installed... I decided to wipe all the data, and try to use an old backup i had laying on the internal storage, got to it, wiped all data and started recovering the old backup. But the revovery wasn't working properly and it gave me an error, after fiddling around with TWRP a little more, i went into wipe -> advanced wipe -> and wiped everything, because i had an idea that i could just force a new rom over by ADB from my PC, and this all resulted in that I have no operating system, the phone boots into TWRP all the time, I've tried to hard reset it, but it just boots into TWRP whatever i do
Please help
Just flash a new KDZ over it. And next time check XDA if someone had the same problem as you and you will find the solution.
I've done a quick search about flashing a new kdz, and they involve getting into download mode, I can't access download mode, it just sends me to TWRP no matter what i do

For those who have similar issues, I did the below steps:
1. While connected to computer in CWM recovery, install the drivers via PdaNet (these replace any original LG drivers)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1983470
2. Connect to phone via ADB while still connected in CWM recovery (see below ADB download if you didn't already have it or forgot where it was)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317790
3. While connected via ADB you can use the same method as in the below thread (use the first one).

When the notification LED starts to blink, let go of both buttons for a split second and hold them back again. Make sure USB is connected. Since you have TWRP working, Download should also be available.

If i try to power off the phone WITH the usb cable connected to it, it just reboots automatically, so i cannot power off the phone without it rebooting all by itself, and then going into TWRP.
I tried to hold volume up and power while my phone was in TWRP and it rebooted, LG logo came up and then the red notification light started blinking, then i tried to do what you told me to, quickly release volume up and power button, while the LED was blinking, but nothing happened, other than the phone just rebooting, and then the LED started blinking red again, this just looped over and over again...

I had the same problem, stuck on logo lg , when i tried to go to download mode, i got stuck in the first step of it (i can't see the step with firmware update etc...) and when i tried to make a factory hard reset, it goes on the recovery mod.
After seeing many forums since 3-4 days, i tried to flash the kitkat kernel, so i used the adb sideload ---> so connected on recovery mod, then make install from sideload, then on your command (on windows) type adb sideload thenameofthekernel /sdcard/ and normally the recovery should install himself the kernel and you can reboot your phone

Hold down the power button till the it turns off and keep it held down the LG logo will flash up again then go off after that release it and wait a few seconds making sure the phone does not boot up again. Then hold down the volume up button and with the usb connected to the computer plug the USB into the phone this should then put it into download mode.
Why don't you sideload a rom in twrp recovery via adb?

When I try to boot into download mode - I see the initial screen but computer doesn't detect anything
Hey,
My LG G2 802 is fully bricked now. I can't get anything alse that LG splash screen, I tried entering download or fastboot mode but with no luck.
It happend when my ROM flashing software crashed in the middle of process.
Help me out guys.
i have the same. No download mode, no recovery. Ubuntu don't recognize my G2 (i try all tutorials). Only i saw LG screen. When i press vol- and power 2 times i have option FACTORY RESET but when i do this i saw only FACTORY SETTINGS PROCESSING and stop at this. After restart only LG.

Exacly the same story with factory reset.
1. un plug device from wall or pc
2 make sure phone is all the way off (hold down power and volume down) untill it stops booting
3. hold volume UP while plugging device into pc
4. follow these instructions to return to stock http://www.droidgreen.com/lg-g2-official-stock-android-firmware-rom/
5. allow usb debuging in dev options and install unknown sources in security
6. to root your device go to towelroot.com download apk and install
7. to flash custom recovery use freegee its found in playstore
my phone havent got download mode. I flash KDZ on blue dots downlad mode. After this my phone has bricked. Only black screen. After this i have flash on ubuntu partitions and twrp. Ewerything was ok but after restart my phone dont go to TWRP. Only LG. Now i cant do anything. I havent got download mode and after VOL- and POWER my recovery dont do anything. On monday i will send my phone to service.
IT WORKS!
Well.. problem has been solved almost it self. As I said before I was trying do hold volume UP and plug it to the computer. But phone was showing only the LG logo and that's all. Linux didn't see it either.
When every idea was used I tried to completly discharge it. When it turn off i tried to plug it in and check what happens but AGAIN I saw only LG splash screen and I left it in that way. I came back after maybe 10-15min and I found phone in Download Mode. Linux saw it and without any problem I installed fresh ROM.
Really I can't explain this but it's just happend. So my advice, try any possible solution and method.
Good Luck guys!
Glad to here sound like your device wasn't fully powered off patience is pretty mine say on download mode doing nothing fir 10 minutes once [emoji106]

Thank you, Ick56, for the ray of hope you've given me. My G2 is fully discharged since yesterday and I'm on the same boat as you - no recovery, no download, no fastboot, not detected by the computer. I'm trying your way now. My question is - when you plugged it in fully discharged, did you hold any buttons?
Thanks again and thanks in advance!

Thank you for your answer, but I wasn't asking how to get to download mode. I was asking the OP what he did when his battery was fully discharged.

I just plugged it in to the computer. Yes, it's sounds ridiculous but in some way after few minutes it worked. Maybe try it with volume up too, who knows what will happen ;p
Good Luck!

Thanks again. Here's what happens:
1. While unplugged, I entered the Factory Reset mode and left it as it is (didn't push any buttons) in order for the display to drain the battery;
2. When the battery was drained the phone went off;
3. After waiting for a few seconds I plugged it into the computer;
4. The red led was flashing for a minute or so and then the LG logo came on;
5. I'm now waiting.
Will post again when/if anything happens
EDIT: Almost an hour now and still only LG logo
i have the same.

If your light flashed red that means it is charging you HAVE to hold the up volume WHILE plugging it in in to enter download mode DONT DRAIN BATTERY TO COMPLETELY POWER OF HOLD VOL DOWN AND POWER UNTIL OT STOPS BOOTING THEN PLUG IT IN WHILE HOLDING VOL UP
