i tryed the drivers still nothing my computer is litterly not reading the phone at all

Same issue here. My pocket got warm earlier and i pulled out my phone and it was in CWM. Rebooting only brought it back to CWM. Phone is not recognized by PC (with correct drivers) and I can't get into download mode at all. Was able to flash TWRP through CWM because i had a zip of it on the phone. But even with TWRP, every reboot to... option just takes me back to recovery.

Install pdanet, while phone is connected in recovery mode to pc open pdanet and install lg drivers through it and then open adb in ur pc and type adb devices and if it sees then open sideload in twrp or cwm and push Rom to phone.

This is exactly what happened to me a few days ago. Bloody update! As a consequence I lost my root byhard resetting and apparently no debug either. I am trying to communicate with my device through adb. But because of no-root nor debug I have no way to do so. Anyhelp will be greatly appreciated.

I think the problem is the USB Driver? Can i enter download mode without correct drivers?
Windows Device Manager says the driver cannot be installed Code 28.
Iam using Windows 8.0 x64

Do you use WIN 8?
Maybe try to deinstall all drivers, delete D802 in Device Manager and than install only the linked driver.

It doe not seem to be with the computer. I tried both. Connection of both seems OK. Because whenever I enter adb devices in platform-tools, the serial number shows up. But I think it is to do with my device which does not have root and debug is off. Whenever I write 'adb sideload TWRP.zip it says, it does not recognize 'sideload'.

Flash philz recovery..
In the power off options you have download mode
You can enter it from there
Edit : For using the Download Mode from TWRP, Press Reboot and then Download..
Sent from my GT-I9500 using XDA Free mobile app

You must be using a wrong combination of keys while trying to boot into download mode
Ok for Now your recovery is working so you can adb push a custom rom from your pc to your mobile (given that you have cwm recovery installed) then just flash it
For adb to work you need correct drivers to be installed and maybe you will also need to manually update the driver through device manager

re
Thank You very much for the help. Im kind of new to ADB how ever I managed to learn how to use it. So I inastalled it and tried by plugging the devices but S4v device is not detected when the ADB Devices command given. I tried using S duos 2 and detects fine. Im so confused with this. Also didnt the part mannually updating drivers from Android SDK Manager.
Thank You again for the Help!

You can always use a recovery to get into the download mode.
Flash Stock rom..
Root your phone
Download quickboot from the play store/Wanam xposed.(for activating 4 way boot menu...
Get into Download mode from there..
Doesn't this work??

If you don't have downloade mode, then you probably got a clone.

Hi mate ,
If that is right and if what @Lennyz1988 said is not true you need a USB Jig or a Jtag to get into download mode

[Q] L01F no download mode, no usb reading.

Hello. Please help me. I have a Japanese version of G2 (L-01F - DoCoMo) and i tried to flash an european version of kitkat because i couldn't update in OTA. Now the phone is bricked, it is bootlooping, the Download Mode doesn't work, it shows a few of blue dots and it stays there (the phone can't be recognized on PC using the USB cable). I can enter the Recovery Mode (the grey screen with LG logo) where the phone can be read by PC and using ADB tool is shown as "recovery". I can't use fastboot.exe because the device is not being recognized. What can i do? Thank you very much.

Actually i'm trying to repair it since October 2014. No-one knows the solution. I went to 3 different GSM Services and they don't know what to do...
So...when i'm trying to put it in download mode it stays like this and the PC doesn't recognize it.
The only way to connect the phone to the computer is to put it in recovery mode (Backup & Restore) by holding Volume Up and Power Button at the same time with the phone turned off. It should appear something like this. The PC recognizes the phone but only in ADB. Look.
The third possible screen, which also is useless is this by typing in the CMD the following: "adb reboot recovery" (click). Here, the PC doesn't recognize the phone too.
Fastboot doesn't work.
And that's my problem. I don't know what to do.

If there are any custom roms that will run on your phone, adb push it to the sdcard and flash in TWRP.

Bricked LG g2 d800 think soo

Hi guys,
I have LG G2 d800. try to restore back to jelly bean, and rooted the phone. meanwhile took the KK update and the problem starts from there. I read the forums about not taking the update once rooted. But I was too late for that. I read most the forums to fix but haven't found my problem fix.
here is the problem lies
I am on Cyanogen recovery on the screen. wipe out everything from the phone. even the cache partition.
My computer don't read the phone. adb is not working. tried to see the list of device on adb but shows unauthorized device.
only thing work sideload on adb. tried to install twrp recovery zip file or rom zip file. stuck on 47% . then it shows error.
I see there is a fix through twrp recovery. but my adb is not working. tried different drivers but wont give me dice.
any help on this highly appreciated. or you can guide me for that.
thanks in advance.

Here's what I did:
I grabbed SRKTool and nuked my download mode. Then when attempting to enter download mode I was instead kicked into fastboot. From there I flashed stock partition images, rebooted into download mode, and then was able to flash a stock kdz/tot with the LG software.
All data lost, but phone was unbricked. All of this software was run inside a virtual machine on a Linux or OSX box as well.

I downloaded the srktool2.1 but the problem is, it waiting to connect the device. my phone is cwm recovery screen but guess phone is not talking to the computer. so as I mentioned no adb connection.
anyother way to get back in life.

I believe in SRK Tool you can nuke download mode two ways. One of which is while in download mode itself. Try entering download mode and selecting the proper option. Sometimes an unplug/replug is needed to get the phone recognized.

I did try. My phone is on Cyanogen screen. Try to plug and unplug but nothing happens. Tried SDK tool and tried to side load cm12 Rom but gets error after 47%. Don't know what to do.
In SRK tool after choosing options it stays on waiting for device. Nothing happen
s after that. Even plug n unplug.

Reboot into download mode. I believe you can also do it via adb with SRK Tool, but that is not what I did. There are two ways to build your download mode with SRK Tool. One of them is used when you are connected via download mode. That is the path I took.

My problem is, Phone is not talking with computer. I have started adb server and type adb devices and it came up with 09oikjn76568 unauthorized.
I believe my phone is not talking adb commands via computer. I have read here in some forum, your phone has to be on debugging. but in that case I my phone doesn't go beyond CYANOGEN RECOVERY.
Thanks for reply. If you have any other suggestion please let me know.

If you reboot into download mode you will bypass the debugging need.

Kind of noob question. How you go in download mode. This is what I did to get in download mode. Turn off the phone and by holding power up button and same time pluging USB connected to computer. I booted into cyanogen recovery screen.
Am I doing right?
If not please let me know. Thanks for reply.

Make sure the phone is off. Then, while holding the Volume-Up button, plug your phone into the usb cable.

That's exactly what I did but it boots back to cyanogen recovery.

Do you mean TWRP recovery? Make sure you are not pressing the power button when you are hold the up volume button ....... It should go immediately to download mode when you connect it via usb if your download mode isnt nuked ........ then u can flash back to stock using TOT method.
