Download mode not working - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,I have root and yesterday I made OTA and then my phone rebooted into CWM. I performed a hard reset, restore a backup, but still accrues only to CWM. Unfortunately, I still can not use Download Mode, or start system. Can anyone advise me? I'm desperate ... Thanks to all for your responses and sorry for my English.

Did you hold the volume UP button while plugging the usb in? if so it should enter dl mode.

Of course I know, but still only booted CWM

Are you on VZW? Are you seeeing a message at the bottom ov the recovery screen with errors on e: having to do with the cache partition? If so you will need to fix this with a few commands in adb. @Shelnutt2 and @autoprime on irc channel #lg-g2 saved me yesterday with this.

I know more about it? What is VZW? thanks

G2 Model number D802 is for the company Verizon Wireless (VZW). What is your Model? Mine is a D800 (ATT).

Ah, so I have a D802 Version

VS980 is verizon. The D802 is the international GSM model I believe.

[Q] Soft Brick Issues, What Can I Do?

Hi Everyone,
I rooted and used TWRP. Everything was fine, got SU installed and what not. Then I downloaded CM 10.2 Snapshot and Gapps and flashed them for the G2. I got the fastboot error. After trying to erase and replace the recovery, I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
I get all the way to the last step when I use the LG flash tool and it says "Dowload FAIL!" It says Device Model is different! The LG Flash Tool shows I have a D802, but my phone is branded Verizon and I had LTE working on it earlier today...so I assume it isn't the GSM version...Anybody have any idea what to do?
I'm a new user, so I can't post external links, but here is an imgur address Ea8zgf7.jpg to a photo of the issue
Text on phone in the download screen says "VUSER S0.0 AS0.0 B82 UHS (New line) S US LG-D802 04.3.1 Hrev_10 (new line) VS98010B
Unfortunately I keep running into tons of dead links for different ways of dealing with this issue. Now I'm really concerned that I'm going to get screen burn in because I cannot shut the phone off. It either sits in the fastboot/error screen or in the download screen / firmware update screen.
I would really appreciate anyone's input. I tried to use this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 But almost all of the links are dead.

Was this ever solved? I have the same problem as the OP except with my ATT LG G2 D800. The lg flash tool shows my device as a D802. I have even tried downloading the D802 firmware, but got an error about the laf memory.
Like the OP I have followed other posts, but never found a solution. Please help.
I have an update: I used the procedure to do a factory reset by pressing the power and vol down until the lg logo appeared then release the power and immediately press the power button again. This prompted me to press the power button to do a factory reset. It came up with an error, but then booted into the CWM which I was using to flash CM on my device.
Hope this helps others.
Hi, I know this has been way back from 2 years ago. But is there any solution yet? Mine is ls980 and I'm having the same problem. Somehow trying ti factory reset does not work as after I released the power and volume down button the screen goes dark immediately and if I press it too long it just turns off.
Flash a different ROM
Ok, I hope this will help others:
I have an LG-H500F from Telcel Mexico, it got the security error bull after rooting and uninstalling bloatware, I could not find the original ROM anywhere but I found one for LG-H502F which is basically the same phone but for two sims and tv tunner.
Anyway, trying to flash the 502F Rom to the 500F kept giving me a download error complaining about not being the same model so what I did was, opened the dll file in an hex editor and found the model part H502F so I changed to H500F and saved it, also I changed the name of the tot file to H500F and Boom! It flashed it and revived my bricked little toy!!!
Hope this helps...

Secure Boot Error F320S!

Hello! I have a problem which I don't know how to fix, so I need some help! I'm running stock android 4.4 (20a) and have flashed CWM through Flashify, but every time I try to boot into recovery, I get this message:
"Secure booting error
Error: Boot Certification Verify!"
Recovery worked in android 4.2 (11g), but I messed my phone up, and flashed the latest .kdz-file for my phone. It was after that the recovery-problem appeard.
I've read some places about people with D802 who has this problem, but the fixes they've got only works for D802 and D800. So, how can I fix my F320S? I guess there are more people with the korean version who has stumbled upon this problem, so if you got a fix, please post it!
Excuse my typos if there are any!
Thank you!
LG G2 F320S
Put phone in download mode, and flash the stock KDZ.
If you cannot do this, then you are hard bricked. I had an LG Optimus G which I got a Secure Boot Error after flashing a compatible ROM using TWRP, and although it could get into download mode, it would never be seen as a COM Port in the computer again to it couldn't be seen by the Flash Tools software to restore KDZ.
But it is a stock image I've flashed... What causes the problem!?
Edit: I tried to put it in Download-mode, but the secure-boot error apeard there too... But the phone can't be bricked, as it's booting to Android and everything works...
Would this fix it if the developer made a version based on my aboot?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2500441
Edit no.2: I pressed the wrong button-combination, so yes, I was able to access Download-mode, and it works like a charm!
Send with my LG G2 F320S!

Did you ever fix this, and how? I just stumbled on to the same problem the same way. I've got a D802 international. Recovery is corrupted with the same error as yours. That was nonsense about being bricked above. I hate that when people give wrong info. Any help definitely appreciated.

I'm wondering what happens if I do a factory reset? Trying to get up the nerve to do it. If not then I think the next best option is to wait for 4.4.3 or higher.

I don't think a reset will fix it as it's not fixing any corrupt data. The problem lays in the bootloader. It's not able to boot into the recovery installed as if it was an earlier build. It looks like this is what you are looking for to be able to install a recovery the right way. I haven't tried it yet, tho.

[Q] Crossdl [D803] to [d800] - Help!

My phone is ATT D800. It is rooted and has CWM custom recovery. I live in Canada and use Telus as my provider.
Last night I flashed Bell Stock D803 rom. I loved the rom, the phone was nice and zippy, but every time I restarted, it forgot settings, wifi would be off, and I would have to reset the APN settings. I was able to flash my phone back to stock ATT using Custom DLL LGUP_8974.dll and and the stock ATT JB provided by hyelton. It worked with no issues. I was using the phone all day today and noticed that I had really bad signals with the ATT modem. So like a fool, I decided to try the Bell rom again - big mistake! Now my phone is in an endless loop. I can go into download and recovery mode no problem but I can't do anything else.
I have been trying to use the LG Flash Tool to restore and I am now getting Crossdl [D803] to [d800] errors. I rebooted into recovery thinking that I would be able to sideload another rom to at least get the phone working - no go. When I run adb devices - it isn't seeing my phone in recovery. If I to a factory restore, it goes in a boot loop and I get screen after screen asking me if I want to format. When I check the device manager - instead of seeing my phone, I see qhsusb_bulk.
I've also tried to flash ROM KDZ Method for bell D803 but this doesn't work for me either. When I get to - 3. select Normal web upgrade test - I get the next screen to click upgrade start but then after that, the BC2App loads and tells me that there is no updates. I never get the screen wanting me to choose a country. And yes, I've followed the steps too many times to count now.
At this point, I don't care if my phone is running D800 software or D803 - I just want it to work. Can someone please help?
If you have a d800 you shouldn't install a d803 ROM I believe there are hardware and kernel changes between both of them ... The radios are different... Try installing a d800 ROM if you can access recovery by sideload and then install a d800 modem
---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 PM ----------
And after that just change the APN and enable fast dormancy ... I believe telus supports it too

[Q] LG G2 bricked and can't flash stock firmware!

So I'm really into Android developing, I'm always flashing and installing etc, but I got a problem now.
Phone information​
LG G2 D802
Rooted
TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.0
Was running 4.4.2, found a kdz file on the internet and flashed it (no regular update from my phone)
What happened​I actually did something stupid, I received an application update from the LG Download Center (or whatever it's called) on my phone and clicked on it. I was planning on flashing Android 4.4.2 again because my firmware was not stable, and I thought this update could help me.
But no, after it finished downloading, I automatically booted into recovery.
What I did​So I tried to reboot and enter my OS, but unfortunately, I was stuck in recovery.
I did everything I could, wiping (Dalvik) cache, factory reset, flashed a new rom, restored Nandroid backup, but no, every time I booted, I got back into recovery again.
I only saw 1 option left, booting into download mode and flashing a new firmware.
I found the Netherlands 16GB kdz file for Android 4.4.2 (because I had a French one first), the one I was looking for.
Looked all over the internet, and all guides pointed me to this guide.
Tried it, but I got multiple errors, one of them was that my phone was not connected while I was at 15% of the flash process.
What happened​After that first flashing process, I booted up, but got a Security Error. After the Security Error was showing for 5 seconds, my phone shut down. This is happening every time I try to boot up.
I couldn't access my recovery anymore, nothing. Edit: I can access my recovery right now, and I tried this, but when I boot up I get the Security Error again.
The big problem right now is the Security Error! How do I bypass that?
So can someone please help me out!
Several phones/tablets of mine bricked and I always found a way to get out of it, but not this time, unfortunately...
Have you tried this

Yes, I actually have. Didn't mention it, but after I did that I booted and got an LG logo and below it was a text that said 'Security Error' After like 5 seconds the security error goes away and my phone shuts down. I can only enter download mode right now.
I'll edit my first post with this info.
Thanks for the help though!
Edit: I find a way to access my recovery again because at first I couldn't but I figured out that the code in the thread you linked was a bit different than the code I entered at first.
So I used the code you gave me, but now I get the Security Error again!
Hi mate, just like you i downloaded that damn OTA today and messed up my phone, but in my case was because i had totally forgotten it was rooted and had custom recovery installed :silly::silly::silly::silly:
I followed this tutorial to fix the boot secure error http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 and it worked like a charm except for download mode wasn't working at all.
After doing some research i found this post http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ricked-lg-g2-stuck-twrp-no-download-mode.html and got download mode (apparently) working again but Windows didn't recognize it at all so i couldn't use it to flash the .kdz stock firmware.
In the end i just flashed a custom aosp rom and got my phone back to life but the download mode issue it's still there and it's bothering me quite a lot.
Any suggestion is welcome.
EDIT: Don't download the recovery from the post, instead look for the latest version (2.7.0.0) because the one posted there (2.6.3.2) might corrupt your partitions

Nope internal SD remains intact, basically what you'll be doing is pushing the right files into the system partitions and yes, in theory you should be able to flash a new rom.
Even if you can boot into recovery you should do it if you're getting that error, and after that you can just push a ROM file to flash (i'll assume you know how to do it) and btw let me know if you decide to flash a stock based rom instead of an aosp like i did.
Good luck with that :good:

Perhaps you might consider sending it in to lg if you still have warranty. But I'd you don't, there are services on eBay/ Craigslist that can help you.

[Q] Did I brick my phone?

Hello,
I have a LG G2 (D802). I was busy flashing the stock KDZ, when I got an error. The progress on my phone stopped, and nothing happened anymore. I wanted to try again, so I turned my phone off. Now, when I boot my phone, it gives the LG logo, and then nothing. When I connect it to my pc, I get a lot of format pop-ups.
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
The KDZ I used: Netherlands Open 16GB KitKat D80220D
Furthermore, also while connected to the pc, I only see a folder called "image".
Can someone help me with getting my phone back to stock? It doesn't matter if everything gets wiped, I already backed up everything.
Thanks in advance!
If lots of drives still pop up when you connect your phone to the PC,then follow this guide:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTc2m6U-I
I did it,and it fixed my download mode,and I could finally access Download Mode.
If your Download Mode still works,try the TOT method,it worked for me,since the KDZ method would be stuck at 2% every time(in my case).
So,after,or if your download mode works,do try the TOT method.

Just dont panic,even if your phone is in a "hard brick" state(doubtfully),there is a fix for it too.
I suggest you do not do anything without consulting with other members.
You just have to be patient.
EDIT
Oh,and go to the Device Manager and tell me what name your G2 has when connected to the PC.

And are you sure you have the LG USB Drivers installed?
EDIT#2
And did you try to install the drivers to another PC and connecting your phone to that PC?

Ugh thank god
those drives SHOULD be popping out
Right click on My Computer and select "Manage"
Then,on the left part of that window,you will see the "Disk Management" option. Click it
Then,you should see a certain Disk which is separated into tons of parts.
This part is crucial!
To me,my PCs Hard Drive was "Disk 0",and my fastboot G2 was "Disk 1"
Please tell me which "Disk _" your g2 is.
You can folow this videowithout my help(I could do it by myself in 3 A.M.,so you can do it too! ),I am basically helping you with the same method.
If you want me to proceed with helping you,do tell.

Download the kdz suitable for your model and flash it with LG Flash Tool.
Follow the "Back to stock" guide which you mentioned in the OP.
There will be a link to the KDZ archive for various models,and make sure that you select the kdz for the 32 GB variant if you have a 32 GB variant. Because it will be dangerous if you flash a 16gb variant kdz on a 32 gb phone.

EDIT
And if the same thing happens when flashing,fix it again(if it won't access the download mode) and try to flash while using another PC.
Mate, you are the freakin' best!!!! Mah phone works again!!! Now I'm going to install CloudyG2_3.3. What are the steps I need to perform in order to NOT(!!!) brick my phone again?
That'll be my last question, I can't thank you enough!

So the kdz flash worked,and the stock rom boots?
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Forums Pro.
Yea it works! I used the stock KK rom though, since Cloudy requires the KK bootloader. I did it right here yes?

Yes,excellent job.
To root,download "Towelroot" to your phone,install it and press the "Make it rain" button,then install SuperSU,then look for "AutoRec" and make sure you get the version for your variant.
That is just halfway,I will tell you the rest tomorrow,it is 00:26 and I have to get up at 07:00. xD

Haha cheers! I think I got it from there, it's just that I don't want to do it in a wrong order haha ;P
And thanks a lot, again! Get your deserved sleep, I should do that too.. Gotta go up at 06:45 hah!! I WIN! xD
Okay,moving on.
Download the BUMPED TWRP from this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
It is in a flashable zip,so just flash it with the TWRP which was installed by AutoRec.
You must have the bumped version of TWRP!!
After you flashed the BUMP TWRP,reboot recovery.
Here is a bootloader changer,AROMA edition:http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/d802-bootloader-changer-1-1-jb-kk-lp-t3104380

2.Flash the Bootloader Changer,in AROMA choose the KK bootloader,and install.
3.Flash CloudyG2 3.3

Hey man,
I noticed that Towelroot doesn't work for LG G2 Lollipop. Any idea how to fix this?
Edit: trying it with another root.
Edit 2: rooted. Going to flash now.
Alright it works, thanks! Can you tell me why I need the bumped version? Just curious

It is complicated,just do it. XD
I was asking the same thing like you.I ignored others,rushed with roms,didnt use the BUMPED TWRP and my phone was bricked.
Basically the TWRP you get with AutoRec is just capable of flashing partitions for the bootloader,not the system partition(the rom is in the system partition).
The BUMPED TWRP has a certain type of an exploit,and lets us install those system partitions.
Shortly:You can't install roms without the BUMPED TWRP.

I'm guessing my phone is refurbished?
I bought a D802 from a third-party, with:
- 32GB ROM
- 4.4.2 D80220b firmware
- 2G, 3G, 4G working
- The csmg.lgmobile.com website said that according to my IMEI, my model is the UAE 32GB D802 and gave me the D80230a firmware for manual flash via LG Flash tool.
I used the phone for a while, rooted it and used Xposed. Never got recovery so no backup(wish I'd seen the SRK tool before). Then I downloaded the firmware from the csmg.lgmobile.com website. I flashed it via the Flash tool and everything seemed fine. Then it booted:
- Touchscreen was erratic. Ghost touches, dead spots, phantom touches, whatever.
- The Baseband Version and IMEI in About Phone both say Unknown
- ROM has converted to a 16GB version
- Download mode is fine along with every other feature of the phone
After that I looked around and found a UAE D80220c firmware and flashed that. It flashed fine but all the above issues remained the same.
I browsed around extensively here and found out:
- Refurbished phones have their back cover and firmware changed to imitate D802's.
- My phone is probably some other G2 model with D802 firmware and an altered IMEI
- The actual model of my device is UNDER the motherboard. Which, apparently, I must get hold of so I can flash the appropriate stock kdz. This gets a bit too hardware-y for me.
So, basically, my phone is no more useful than a brick at the moment. Any expert help would be appreciated but here are the main questions that I'd really like answered:
A. Should I try various flashing the kdz files from different models mentioned in the link I gave up ^there until one clicks and then try to do something about the IMEI?
B. Is there any chance that my phone is beyond repair forever?
C. Should I stop messing around with my mediocre knowledge and take it to a repair shop?
