Bricked vs980 can't access recovery or download mode

I have the latest TWRP installed. Flashed CloudyFlex 1.3 and noticed that if my phone was in a 3g area, it showed I was roaming. I found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2647122 and flashed the vs980 flash zip. Can't get the phone to boot. It shows the LG screen and then it fades away to black and nothing. Tried getting into download mode but it won't do anything. Tried booting into recovery and it won't go. Any help is appreciated, but it seems hopeless at this point..
Update: Interestingly enough, there's hope. For some reason, the usual way for entering download mode didn't work (hold volume up and plug in USB) I was able to enter download mode by plugging phone in first, then holding volume up and power. At this point the download process is stuck at 0%. If I get this thing unbricked I'll keep posting updates as to how

if u got it into download mode then this should work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960

Downloading the tot file now. It'll take about an hour to download. Thanks!

Phew...it worked!
It's odd that I couldn't get into download mode holding volume + then plug in USB. It works everytime if I plug in phone first, then hold volume+ and power. I see LG screen first like normal bootup, but if I continue to hold volume+ and power, it switches over to download mode.

I'm having the same issue. I can't get my phone into download mode or recovery mode. I tried to plugging in the phone first and hold down vol + and power. But still nothing happens, the red notification light blinks when I continue to hold the buttons down. Can you help me out with this?

I have the same problem, no download mode on my G2 (European version, stock kitkat without root, bought it a week ago).
Just to be safe, the way I tried to launch it into download mode was:
1. Powering off the device.
2. Holding the volume up button.
3. Plugging in the USB cable (while still holding the volume up button)
The LG logo shows up for a while, after which the charging animation shows ups...

Your phone must be turned off
So, press power button and select “power off”.
Then, press the volume up button on your LG G2.
While you are holding the volume up button, plug in your phone’s USB cable.
Keep pressing the Volume up button until the download mode is being displayed.
that is the known method for G2 unless you flashed a custom boot-loader or changed the keys to enter download mode or recovery etc .... now try to enter a hard reset mode but don't apply it or all your data will be gone i say again don't approve it it is power+Vol down
if it works i think the keys combination are still in default then try to enter download mode again
if it didn't work return the mobile to be fixed or changed

Thanks for your reply!
The method you described is the same as the one I used, unfortunately it doesn't seem to work. I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery either...
I believe this reddit post describes my problem:
https://www.reddit.com/r/lgg2/comments/2n4gqa/unrooted_lg_g2_on_stock_android_442_kitkat_will/
The OP's conclusion is:
So I rooted and installed AutoRec and that got me Download Mode. Afterwards I used LG Flash Tool to flash the stock KDZ file onto my device to unroot it and to see if Download Mode is still enabled which it was not.
I believe this is LG's way of preventing users from upgrading to unofficial/unreleased firmware.

I managed to fix the issue by performing an emergency recovery using LG software. It must have been caused by one of the OTA updates.

Did you try to force your phone into qhsusb_bulk mode and flash the partitions?

If it is still recognized as MTP device it is too early to disassemble it.
Are you sure you cannot go into download mode? (Shutdown completely with 10 sec. on POWER, hold VOLUME+ and then plug in PC USB).
Did you try to find it with adb? ("adb devices" ...)
Did you try to use the SRKTool by droith? It can fix some problems the easy way.
As suggested did you try to force it into QHSUSB_bulk mode?
Keep calm. It is nearly impossible to destroy this phone.

i try all those suggetions exept from force it into QHSUSB_bulk mode cause i cant open the back cover without tools!

Have you tried the different key combos to enter your recovery?
1. volume down + power, if you see LG logo, release and press again volume down + power
2. volume down + power, if you see LG logo, release and press volume up + volume down
Sometimes you have to try a cople of times (it's about timing).

There are different modes.
You don't think you need to open your phone for the QHSUSB_bulk flash mode 9006. It's a mode in where all your phone's partitions are mounted in Windows (or Linux) in "download" mode. With the right partitions nuked you should automatically get into this mode. I got there accidentially twice.
Did you try the SRKTool? For example, did you try to enter download mode from there or otherwise nuke and fix the download mode?

Have you tried to get into download mode this way?
Plug usb cable into phone and a PC. Hold power until it shuts off - release power, hold up. Repeat until you're in download mode.

[HELP NEEDED] Dead S10+ (SM-G975F)

Hey guys, I have a little problem and could need some Help fixing my S10+ (G975F)
What did I do:
- Flashed latest TWRP from TWRP.me + vbmeta
What happened:
- My S10 was stuck in a endless bootloop at the S10 logo, didn't boot to download mode or TWRP and my PC didn't recognize it.
My problem now:
I let the phone in that bootloop over night to let the battery discharge. Next day when it was powered of I tried entering download mode by pressing volume down + bixby and connecting the cable to my pc but the screen was just staying black, after releasing the volume down and bixby key but keeping the cable connected it started with the bootloop again, so right now there i'm out of ideas, I just can't enter the download mode or TWRP.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Best regards, Jan

Did you tried to enter recovery?
And BTW samsung download mode is super strong almost impossible to brick you aren't trying key combination correctly to enter download mode or recovery.
When phone is restarting to enter download mode
Just
Hold bixby, volume down and while holding these, put the usb-c cable in the s10+ when connected to the PC.

Thanks for your reply, but as I described I tried everything from above, with different PCs and Cables.

If I press bixby and volume down while being connected to PC I just get a blackscreen

What happened when it went to black screen instead of download mode? I mean what its shows in pc?specifically in odin? While on black screen try tu press volume up and to proceed download mode even though there is black screen if then it shows in odin then you can flash stock.
Did you unlock boot loader before flashing twrp? Did you?

any update on that?
