To get into dl mode....turn off the device....then hold ONLY the volume up button while putting in the usb cable...it will go into dl mode.

thanks for the reply... i know how to do it, but its not working because i screwed my device up by trying to insall an ota update with a rooted device and a custom recovery. so my only option now is to sideload, which i am working on... hope it works...

cant get adb to recognize my device, maybe because i dont have usb debugging enabled? which i cant enable because icant boot into os... what do i do to get this thing working again? i have android sdk tools installed

Omg I can't believe tons of people are having same problem, ok here u go stock lg drivers don't seem to help pc recognize phone in recovery mode what I did was downloaded pdanet on pc and connected phone to pc in recovery mode and then opened pdanet in pc and installed lg drivers through it and then my pc recognized my phone as adb sideload when adb was run hope it helps you too.

I had the same thing happen today, couldn't get into download mode. I followed the fastboot instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595 and it worked great.
He has links in that window to the specific file to flash.

I tried this, along with everything else, and my phone is still stuck in a boot loop. I cannot enter download mode. I was rooted with custom recovery, but i could never get the recovery to work. I tried to update to the OTA (i know, i know) and it killed the phone. Now when I connect it nothing happens other than a bunch of drive popups asking if i want to format. No download or recovery mode. only the LG logo screen and then a quick flash of the "Secure booting error Error: Boot Certification Verify!" screen, and nothing else since.
The main issue is that i cannot get my phone to be recognized by the computer for any type of reflash. If I could get into download mode, I could handle it from there. I hope I don't have to buy a new phone. Im not sure how verizon would feel about it if I took it back to them and it shows as rooted.

No, I cant get to recovery mode either. I think this is a hard brick. I've only had it for one day. Something told me not to mess with it.

this worked for me, and will work for those of you who are stuck in recovery boot loop... this is caused from installing an att update on a rooted device with a custom recovery and or rom. so heads up, if your rooted and you have a custom recovery and or a custom rom, NEVER install a OTA update!!!
so folow the instructions in the link, basically while in twrp, you use the amazing terminal emulator feature to type in the foillowing command, and viola! your phone will boot into the OS!!! make sure to type it in exactly as shown , with spaces and all... good luck!
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

So I've been messing around with android phones for a while now and I'm stuck. I was on the oxygen 2.1.6 Rom then decided to make a back up. However instead of going into CWR it just went into fast boot. When I go into recovery it just says fast boot mode no reboot or recovery img. I tried to odin back to stock like I usually do but adb wont recognize my device like it usually does. Please don't tell me I'm bricked and that I messed up bad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I tried reinstalling drivers etc etc. Somebody help me lol

Adb only works when the phone is booted normally, provided usb debugging is on.
Use fastboot. If you want to make sure it's working, boot into fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot devices
If it's working, you will see your serial number.
If the other options can't help you get your problem solved try Odin.
www.samfirmware.com
get the right files for your device and Odin program itself. There are tutorials on here how to use it.
sorry I was being an idiot. I tried fastboot and it showed nothing connected. When I flashed a recovery it just hung waiting for device. I have all the drivers loaded on the computer but my device is still unknown and wont be recognized. I have all the odin files and I have used odin before. This sucks
btw appreciate the help guys

Try installing pdanet, that will install all the drivers you need for fastboot and Odin.

Maybe not, but it does include some handy files. ;-)
Download and unzip Shabby's OneClickRoot
Install pdanet. (See the readme for which one.)
Reboot your computer.
Then try using his version of fastboot.
I'm assuming you are in fastboot mode (it will say so) and that you're using the usb cable that came with the phone.
I will give it a go now I do have PDA installed too

Nexus 4 No OS Installed TWRP

Guys I need your help.
I have Nexus 4 16GB pre owned. Bought it with Cyanogenmod 10.2 installed already and rooted. Then CM11 nightlies came and I installed it OTA but it seems that it has a lot of bugs so I rolled back to CM10. When I rolled back and rebooted, it does not come up (Google and Cyanogenmod logo only). I rebooted it to bootload mode, then recovery (TWRP) and accidentally wiped out everything including ROM/OS. I don't have that much knowledge in restoring my phone. I tried connecting it to PC (WinXP) and it does not recognize the device. Tried everything posted in different forums on how to connect my device to PC but to no avail. Cannot do USB debugging thing 'cause I can only utilize device's recovery mode (TWRP). I'm thinking now on having this device repaired by cellphone repair shop just to install OS.Anyone can help? Other forums look like too technical for me. Noob here, really.

[Q] Help Bricked LG G2 D801

My phone was great until I tried flashing the hellfire ROM. It told me that it couldnt flash bc it was D801 and not G2. Idk what it meant bc all other D801 ROMS flashed successfully. Anyway I tried to factory reset after that and it says it cant mount data or something like that. Now I only get the LG screen. When I try to go into download mode to flash the correct kdz file in flash tool to reset the entire thing back to stock it stays on the screen that says download mode and has the blue dots. And when I try to run the program through windows and the flash tool it tells me that the phone isn't connected to the PC. Can anybody please help me? Oh and I have TWRP recovery installed but all my backups are gone all of a sudden,.I can't do anything with this phone....!!! Thanks to anyone who can help.

Same problem
I have exactly the same problem please help!!!
someone help please, me too have the same issue please.
Just boot into twrp and select install zip from sideload. Connect the phone to pc. Go to your adb folder and type
adb sideload .zip*(for example:adb sideload update.zip)
Be patient, you got to wait until adb has copied your zip to the phone. Then the actual flashing will start. So leave the phone untouched for like 15minutes and wait till it's done.
This way you can flash the phone in a working state and then kdz again.
Don't forget to wipe all before flashing and factory reset afterwards.

Stuck after Verizon Update (Philz Recovery)!

I downloaded the latest Verizon OTA update--I'm rooted and have Philz recovery. All indication from other posters said it should've been fine.
However, that didn't happen to me! It either gets stuck on the LG Splash Logo or boots into Philz recovery. It won't start or update! Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get it back up and running?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
You should never do an ota update while having a custom recovery. You can only take the ota if you are stock, stock rooted with stock recovery.

But they aren't. The issue is that I can't get it to recognize the phone in ADB mode. I can't boot back into Android and change the settings to get it to work. It's simply not finding the phone as an ADB device. I've installed the drivers. None of the other threads are helping, and it's tough to get it to recognize ADB from recovery...

Well, I managed to get ADB working but that code didn't work. Sigh. Guess there's never been a better time to upgrade to CM 11, right?
And, nevermind, I'm officially ****ed.
The terminal command didn't work, I tried to install CM 11 and it still keeps rebooting back into (now) TWRP. I have no idea how to revert back to stock, especially since I can't get into download mode. I think my phone is ****ed.
If you can get into TWRP, use usb drive formatted to fat32 and drop image on it. Use OTG cabled with drive and flash image from twrp over otg. It appears you have a driver issue pc side. Not recognizing, so. no dl mode switch. Uninstall ALL lg related drivers. Find universal ones(here on forums somewhere from a dev), try abd again. There are multiple ways of fixing this on forums. You still have recovery and soft bricked. Patience buddy, you are in a better solution then others have been. Search, be patient, try and lose some frustration, it will screw you up the ass, your brain will kick in and you will fix this.

If you power the phone completely off, then hold volume up while plugging in the USB to your computer, does it go into download mode then?

I was in the same boat but couldnt even get to recovery or download. It seems the OTA is screwing up the cache partition if you have a custom recovery or root.It took me a long time and lots of help from @Shelnutt2 and [MENTION=1850677]autoprime on irc #lg-g2 to get it working. With adb working though- it was just a couple of dd commands to fix, but it was beyond my scope-- these guys helped me tremendously and I am back to life.
once in adb- these were the commands that fixed it:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

LG G2 (D802) Bricked + TWRP is drunk

Hello my fellow humans of planet earth. So... With this being the first ever thread I open I get to say right from the very start that I am no pro at rooting / installing custom roms and similar stuff. I am more of a DESKTOP guy...
In any case... Yesterday I messed up big time, and don't get me wrong, I did my research... Anyway. What happened was I was updating to the latest version of CM 12.1, and just as I went in TWRP and tryied to start flashing, I got an error and no update. Then, smart me, tryied installing another update, a bit older, but still newer than the one I had running. This one probably was a bad zip and destroyed my installation of CM12... Then, even smarter me, decided it was a good idea to format and try to get CM12 anew. The TL;DR here is... I have no CM, when I connect the phone via usb it recognises it but it says "This folder is empty", so doesn't show anything on the pc side..., and the strangest problem of them all is that TWRP has gone CRAAAYYYYY! Man... Currently, the phone boots only in TWRP, but TWRP is unusable. The touch is not working properly, as I tap "wipe" for example and it opens "settings", for example. Even If I am able to actally click something, I can't do sh*t because I can't use the "slide to do w/e" ....
I am so confused. I tryied using methods like the TOT unbrick and it starts flashing and then it reboots... but into TWRP, I have no controll over anything. I even tryied some ADB stuff I found online but had no luck with that....
ANY kind of help would be worth a lot.
In any case, due to my limited internet access these days, I won't be able to see answers immediately but will probably be able to do so in some hours!
Guys, please.. for the sake of humanity, help.

Then, even smarter me, decided it was a good idea to format and try to get CM12 anew. The TL;DR here is... I have no CM, when I connect the phone via usb it recognises it but it says "This folder is empty", so doesn't show anything on the pc side..., and the strangest problem of them all is that TWRP has gone CRAAAYYYYY! Man... Currently, the phone boots only in TWRP, but TWRP is unusable. The touch is not working properly, as I tap "wipe" for example and it opens "settings", for example. Even If I am able to actally click something, I can't do sh*t because I can't use the "slide to do w/e" ....
I am so confused. I tryied using methods like the TOT unbrick and it starts flashing and then it reboots... but into TWRP, I have no controll over anything. I even tryied some ADB stuff I found online but had no luck with that....
ANY kind of help would be worth a lot.
In any case, due to my limited internet access these days, I won't be able to see answers immediately but will probably be able to do so in some hours!
Guys, please.. for the sake of humanity, help.

Are you able to get into download mode? You can do that by holding the power button for 30 sec to power down your phone. Then hold volume up and then plug in the USB. You should get into firmware update screen.

Are you positive that you have an official d802, because there are a lot of refurbished lg g2's that claim they are d802 but in actuality they have d800/d802 motherboards. The only way to find out is to open your phone and look at the model. Open the phone then remove the power button cover, from there there should be a flex cable running from the top left to a secondary board. Lift that wire up and look at the silver square box and it should have your motherboard model.

I think the fact that I have had a similar experience to what I am facing now in the past, and fixed the phone using the TOT method FOR the actual D802, which worked, is enough. If not.. I might as well check it...

The reason I ask is because the touch is usually jumpy when you install a ROM that is different from your device model. Are you able to get into adb sideload?

No.. TWRP is kinda unusable... I followed a tutorial by HighOnAndroid the other day, and I installed some driver and I am able to interact with the phone using ADB with a fastboot folder I have. I don't know if it is the same thing though.

Try install kouch adb drivers, and download minimal adb and fastboot (Google) and then attempt to start adb sideload. But first can you check your device variant. We don't want to brick your phone.

Ok. So I did that, and now I have a cmd running which reads:
C:\Program Files <x86>\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>
I don't even know if that is what I had to do..

I do have to confess... my TWRP was working great, ...UNTIL me being smarter than usual followed some guide I found online trying to get CM12.1 and used an app called AutoRec or something... which wasn't nessessary since I already had TWRP.. and then this happened. TWRP has gone nuts.

Try figuring out how far off your touches register with your phone. And then try to swipe once you find the pattern

I already have. Here's the funny part though.. I don't have enough screen... hahaha... I registers my touches a bit lower and I cannot go that low... I get that we have a problem here...
The only thing I was able to think of Is trying to emulate the phone through the pc, but I don't know If I can do that without actually having a working Android going...

Are you able to take a video of what happens when you flash a tot file. I have never seen that before and maybe the video will help clear some things up. Right now thinga aren't looking good. But don't lose hope there is a method but it is very very tricky/hard.

Okay, since your in side load. Go to the computer and go to the minimal adb and fastboot folder. Click **** + right click. Select open command line here. Type in "adb devices" and tell me if your device is recognized.
