[Q] Stuck on Fastboot (Unable to go to download mode)

I have an LG G2 AT&T D800.
After I rooted my phone successfully, I also flash a custom recovery successfully.
After I did that, I wipe out my data / cache.
And i tried to install a ROM and Google Apps.
I rebooted my phone and I'm stuck with " Fast boot mode started "
I had download mode working but i accidentally made it stop working after i did CMS88168 steps from this page.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
Now I don't have my download mode starting to work and I have no clue on how to fix my phone.
Please help.

Look here
It's for the F320 variants but there is also a link to search for other variant files.

Also just in case you are unable to do what phoost suggested, what i did was keep tr ying to get into recovery, the lg logo would blink fast, but you just have to keep tr ying, and i finally got it and reflashed my rom and its been fine ever since...i did get scared tho, but my g2 is only 4 days old right now, so i can always return and get another, but just do what i said

help

i got the same problem here when flashing the slimkat.
fastboot is like adb sideload.
when you see the usb command, you need to plug the phone to the PC to sync them.

This happened to me a while back the link in post two is how I solved it. You just need to find the laf.img for your model, put it in the same folder as adb and run the adb commands in the tutorial. You might have to change the directory in cmd prompt to where adb is located. Once the laf is successfully flashed you can boot into download mode and flash the kdz for your model.

I tried this but it starts download mode but then goes to fastboot. I was trying to keep download mode. I used the laf.img in the the link you posted. I'm on verizon lg g2 is that the right laf.img?
***Got it thanks***

In the link above that is for the Korean g2 I believe. If I remember correctly there's a link to other img files in his thread. You might also consider flashing the proper boot.img as well. It was a while ago that this happened so I don't recall exactly but if you flash the Verizon boot.img and laf.img you should be good.

when turning it on hold volume down and power button at the same time. Then when the LG logo comes up let go and hold them down again and press the power key twice to get into the recovery or maybe it will boot up normally.

Hey thanks for the reply, i tried your trick it doesn't work then i followed the fix with ubuntu, after that no more black screen I'm now stuck on the LG logo all the time .
Help !!

If you can enter download mode, try flashing appropriate kdz file to your phone.

You can also try to install pdanet and check with that. Select the device and proceed. Once the drivers are installed .. Try flashing the stock... Lemme know of this works

If you successfully transferred the correct recovery image using dd commands you should be able to boot into recovery. Have you tried booting into recovery after dd command? I did not even push the other files listed in guide, all I pushed was recovery image and it booted like a charm. Keep in mind I do own the VS980 variant, although it should be the same process just different image files.

So i did use the dd command on it, and transfered the openrecovery twrp for f320s but it just cannot boot on it with vol down and power

Well to enter the recovery you supposed to hold down Vol+ & Power until LG logo appears, release both, and then immediately press&hold those two buttons again.
Can you get your device in adb mode?

PDANET is the key
Did u try using the pdanet? I was exactly in the same situation as u are. No matter if the lg drivers are installed.... The pc won't recognize the phone as ADB.EXE had stopped working. Here is what I did:
1) install pdanet.
2) it asked me to select the device and then it installed the drivers.
4) with this hopefully the ADB.EXE should start in your device manager. In my case it did.
5) go to google adb bundle folder.
6) go to SDK>platform tools> and paste your CM and gapps there.
7) try bridging the connection by going into the command prompt > and CD into the platform tools directory.
8) in the cmd put the command 'amd push "CM NAME" /sdcard/' and hit enter
9) this should push the file onto the phone... Do the same for gapps... And install it from the TWRP.
10) ALL THE BEST

Hi ! thanks for the help but my device is still not recognized by the computer after i typed adb devices, i guess it's pretty over now, just gonna send it back to china and try to make the warranty work !

When I bricked mine at the LG logo, I got into download mode by
>Shut the phone off
>Hold volume up while plugging it in to the computer

>Profit!
Hope it helps

Tried that but can't access to the download mode

try this even if you had a bad flash the hard drive is split in three parts you only messed up one part so download mode should still be bootable. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475045

White lines on screen...how to flash kernel?

Rooted my phone successfully with the towelroot apk
Went to back up it up with twrp and now I have white lines.
I see the thread that has the jdi kernel and I have it downloaded.
My problem is I can't find a good tutorial or directions on how to flash that kernel to my phone tho. I can't see a thing on my phone, just the folders when I plug it in USB on my pc.
Phone is the LG G2 D801 Tmobile.
thanks

The white lines should go away in twrp i think.
power off your device...
hold power and volume down --wait for lg logo, release buttons, hold again the both buttons..confirm reset(it will enter recovery).
Do you have usb otg ?

You need to copy the zip file on your phone.
1. Get the phone screen to be viewable
Power off (keep power button pressed until the phone turns off) and then power on the phone. Don't let the screen turn off. If necessary, go to system settings -> display -> screen timeout -> keep screen turned on.
2. Copy the file from the PC to the phone
Connect the USB cable and choose MTP mode on the phone. Copy the file to a folder of your choice (e.g. Download) on the phone
3. Reboot in recovery mode
Follow bender's instructions or install Rebooter app from play store to reboot to recovery
4. Install kernel
Click Install -> [browse to the folder where you saved the file and select the file] -> follow the prompts to the end -> reboot system

I don't have a usb otg. I can get one if it will help me out here.
Just read diamond12's instructions. I was able to get into twrp recovery and I tried installing the new kitkat kernel(from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52414185&postcount=122) and got the same white lines problem.
Does twrp need the kernel to be installed in zip form or should I extract it on my pc and only put the image file on my phone for twrp to use? Twrp has buttons to either install or mount something. Which one is best for kernel.
I also tried the backup I created in twrp and still have the same problem.
I can get to safemode and change display settings so that my phone is usable, but I'm stumped on how to get back to normal here without the lines, thanks.

mason dixon said:

The farthest I have gotten is being able to enter safemode on the phone and read the screen but wasn't able to get it to reset or enter twrp recovery.

Let me see..
Basically what you can do is
connect phone to pc (usb debugging might be active)..
download adb, or ioroot25(extract it to c:\ioroot25)
open cmd
type cd c:\ioroot25
type
adb devices
type
adb reboot recovery
now you're in recovery
now..
put the kernel inside the same folder where ioroot is (...where ADB is..)
type
adb push kernel.zip /sdcard/kernel.zip
(where kernel.zip is actually the kernel name)
now flash it..

Thanks bender, I was able to get into recovery with Diamond12's directions. Unfortunately, I've run out of ideas on how to fix my problem.
How hard is it for me to go back to 100% stock from this point?

You must search another jdi kernel and flash it via recovery

Not sure you guys noticed but panel swapper basically flashing this converts the kernel on your device from one to another(lgd to jdi and vice versa)

1. First do you know what rom version you where on?, if you do know download that rom then extract from it the stock recovery using Huawei Update Extractor .
2. If there is two files of recovery just choose one, the one without any numbers. So you will have RECOVERY.img file.
3. Now make sure all files needed to recognize your phone are installed and adb is installed too. What you will need now is to push the RECOVERY.img file to the phone.
4. Connect the device to the computer and Put the RECOVERY.img file inside the folder where fastboot.exe is located. Then hold shift and right click to open CMD(command prompt) from there. Once CMD is open run the following code:
adb devices (This will show if your device is connected)
adb reboot bootloader (will reboot the device in bootloader mode)
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img
5. After this take the rom which you extracted the recovery from and put it in the memory card (dload folder)
6. When phone is OFF hold (volume up + volume down+ power key) together until you see Huawei startup logo then release. The flash process of the rom should start.

Follow the instructions i stated earlier. Put the rom the dload folder( inside it Update.app) in sdcard and flash it by turning off the phone and then hold( volume up+volume down + power) at the same time to begin the flash process or read the pdf file that comes with the rom after you unzip it.

Then hold volume down and connect the usb to the pc until you see fastboot mode come up. After that enter the code i gave to flash the stock recovery and then follow the rest of the instructions.

and not having access to adb, you meant don't have a PC/Laptop?
Cuz there is an alternative way how to boot to " edl "
- turn your phone completely off
- press and hold Volume DOWN & UP
- plug your device to your PC/Laptop

so what i mean by i cannot access ADB is that the phone has stock recovery in which there is no ADB functionality, i cannot access the OS so i cannot use ADB that way either,
i tried the method above to go into edl mode but it just goes onto a black screen where the led light flashed red and green and the computer does not recognise anything being plugged in, not even the system sound,
I have the correct drivers installed as i used his before when the OS was working

Hi,
I have the exact same issue
Did you find a way to get your phone booting again ?

That doesn't work on the A2017G, you have to use "adb reboot edl", so you see the problem. Also, the A2017G doesn't actually have an EDL mode but something very similar that's ZTE call Handset diagnostic Interface - quite why, who knows, this is ZTE after all...
