Alright, so I'm stuck in boot loop, the only recovery I can boot into is stock, which doesn't help obviously. I can't get into download mode, and my computer doesn't detect it. Just tell me the bad news.
Have you removed the LG drivers completely and reinstalled them? How did you get into the bootloop in the first place?

Let me see.. If by download mode you mean the blue dots(circles) then - no, you're not in download mode. But if you can enter teh real download mode (it should go past the circles) then you can flash it ( you should be able to flash it).
More info please.

There's a lot of info in his previous posts. We went through hell and back trying to fix it. Hopefully you can give some better guidance.

Damn. I've read "I CAN get into download mode and ...." :/
will look into it to help out
one question : how did you brick it ?
Let me copy paste my previous three posts.
"When I originally tried to install TWRP, I was rooted in a stock rom, or whatever you call it when you're rooted and haven't installed a rom yet. When I tried originally, I went through CWM and installed it through that, but whenever I rebooted into recovery, I got the android with the caution sign in its chest. I kept trying to install it, and eventually I believe I used the flashify app to install it(the version I believe was 2.6.3.3) and I tried to boot again and it went into a boot loop, and began making a bunch of drives. I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2582142to get me into TWRP, and it worked. Problem is, I have no roms, no backups, no download mode, and my computer only recognizes my phone as 'g2'. I tried to install adb drivers manually so that the computer would recognize it as an adb device, but it gave me error:closed, and that's where we are right now. Quite a hole I have dug myself into, huh?"
"Ok, so I went back into linux -- I have dual boot for windows 7 and ubuntu -- and for some reason adb worked there, so I was able to adb sideload a cwm .img. But of course, I got excited because I thought it would just fix it but now I'm stuck in fastboot mode, and still can't get into download mode."
"I tried it, and now it is stuck in a bootloop and isn't detected by my computer. Only thing I can boot into is stock recovery. Looks like this is the end of my G2.."
I truly do think there's nothing that can be done, just from a logical standpoint. It isn't detected by anything on the computer and can only boot stock recovery which doesn't help at all. I do appreciate the help, though.

Hi
Tried to flash a new kernel and all seemed ok (flashed phones and nexus 7 few times now) when I came out of flashing I hit a bootloop, I though nothing of it and tried to restart....same issue, so next I tried to go into cw recovery, no joy, it will not show again.
I can power/vol keys to android fastboot screen with start power restart boot and so on but if I choose recovery nothing happens, I am stuck with either a bootloop or stuck on android fastboot screen and not able to move from either.
I have tried the toolkit and most other things but the problem is it cannot see my nexus 7, even after installing drivers and so on the toolkit (top right) does not list my nexus as found, because of this I cannot reflash any stock firmware/recover/reflash cwr.
Not sure how I can get around this if my pc cannot see the nexus 7.
Thanks for any help

Hi
I cannot flash anything. On the fastboot screen I can scroll up and down powr off/start/recovery....if I choose any (apart from power off) nothing happens.
When I hook it up to my pc it cannot see it, nexus 7 toolkit also cannot see it, it does not list it as found so I cannot flash anything on to it, if I try it just says waiting for device, tried other things and same thing either waiting for device or asks if fastboot installed.

You are already at the bootloader screen. Use your computer to fastboot flash a new kernel. Being able to get into recovery has nothing to do with it. You screwed it up flashing a kernel. Its likely thats all you need to fix it. Flash a new one with fastboot.

How did you get it to work? I have problem getting my device to be recognized. Stuck on boot loop too..
Hey man, how did you get your computer to recognize your device? Would be great to finally fix mine as this is the same exact problem -- computer doesn't recognize it even though in fastboot.

I don't understand exactly what you are trying to do, sorry: you said the pc does not see the nexus, "even thought in fastboot".. If you say even thought, it seems to me that you are able to access Android itself or maybe recovery? In that case I can't see the issue.. Sorry my fault, non english mother tongue
But, if have the device soft bricked and you are able to enter ONLY the bootloader (that is what we call often fastboot), then you should start to remove the not working fastboot drivers installed into your PC: launch the nexus in fastboot mode, go to Device Manager into your PC and search for a driver with an yellow exclamation point. This issue is very common so I hope that you have it, too.. So, uninstall that driver, then unlink the nexus from your PC; after a few seconds attach it to another USB port and see if Windows install a driver (it should). If this new driver doesn't work, too, or if Windows does no install any, try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426502
Hope it helps, let us know, see you!
EDIT: also, if you still have no luck, you should find a Linux or Mac PC/laptop and download the adb/fastboot binary files for that OS; this will definitively solve your driver issue ( @#ò#@!"@# Winzozz )

Hi sorry for not being clear. Basically I am only allowed to access the bootloader and my device is soft-bricked. I'm pretty sure I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers about a year ago when I originally did it, but I'll try again and let you know. Thanks!
Alrighty then. I have Zte Blade 3. Lovely phone. I rooted it and I really loved it. Everything worked perfectly. I even connected my phone to my ADSL 2+ modem. I loved it! And then and ugly motherfu***r like me had to do this. BRICK IT. I tried installing a new mod unsuccesfully. Installation process gave me error so I clicked reboot now in recovery mode.So it turned off. And then it showed me android logo as it always shows when its booting up. And I thought Imma give a rest to the mods I will enjoy my phone as it is. But the problem appeared. My phone DID NOT PASS the green android logo.Just sitting there.Can't enter recovery mode via key combination(never could I actually used RootBlade3 program to enter recovery mode). But now I cant boot,enter recovery mode or get recognized by my pc. Cuz the phone wont boot up. Before you asked I did update all my drivers. This phone cost me some good money and since Im 15 Im dead if I dont get this right. Imma make you a rich man If you fix it(lying cuz Im broke) Thanks in advance.:laugh:

Download the official update.zip from official ZTE website for your phone!
It contains a recovery.img .
First copy the whole update.zip to your sdcard.
Then fastboot the stock recovery.img ..
Now it wont boot full , you are only able to get in recovery.
So go in recovery , apply update ; choose the update.zip and let the update.zip install.
Your phone should work fully normally now.
Thanks need more help

vs98010b stock rooted
Hello everyone,
So ive been lurking on these forums for some time now looking for a solution for the mess I just created, but its been so long now that I want to ask if anyone can help me out now.
The situation is I bought a LG G2 AT&T, and then proceeded to root, recovery and everything was flawless, but I tried to install another ROM and this is went everything went to hell (Im from Mexico). It went all black and with the "Fastboot mode activated" and stuff so I went an put it on download mode and tried by all possible ways, the LG Flash Tool and the LG Flash tool 2014, both ways do not seem to bring back my phone to life.
Whenever I try to install it like this, I get this error with the D800AT FW. I get this error.
And whenever I try to install with D802 FW. I get this one as well.
When I try with the Lg Flash Tool 2014 method. I cant get it to 100%, I always get stuck on 99% And then it crashes.
I am really running out of options here, the phone is recognized by the PC, but I cant get to install a normal working stock ROM.
Any pointers, or help, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
EDIT:
Apparently, I cant post images just yet to show you the exact error. But for the first 2 errors, I get something like this.
"DOWNLOAD FAIL! Check phone or DLL" both for D800 and D802
If you have twrp as your recovery you can adb sideload a rom onto your device from your computer. Google how to sideload adb with trwp installed and follow the instructions. If your phone is recognized it should be fine.

Now, it is still recognized, but I tried to flash it with some DLL a guy provided on this one thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369) and it didnt complete, it just froze on 94% and now I cant get to Download mode.
I saw about the adb sideload, but I cant seem to access to Recovery now. Tried to, but all I get is some kind of bootloop just showing the LG and android with the open belly and then back to LG.

So the three finger method only gets you the android with the belly up? Is your phone still recognized? I'm on Verizon but i think with other phones it's the same process. If you have no recovery you need to tot back to stock. I've only done it once but it did work. This is what i used to fix my problem when adb didn't work. Lots to read but it does work and people will answer if you have a problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190.. Good luck man.

If I try to enter Recovery I enter the stock one and just asks for a Factory Reset... I can not enter download mode now, I get fastboot mode only when I try download mode. Phone is recognized by computer when I connect it, but when I try to enter Download, it does show the device on device manager, but it sounds weird and I cant do anything.

Hello guys,
I'm fairly certain I'm stuck in an un-debrickable state but I'll ask just in case. My phone is F800K.
I was toying around with LGUP in order to downgrade and root my phone. So far, so good.
I then tried to update to the latest android 9 again, but keep the root active. That's where things started to go south, so I decided to go back.
I followed a couple of "back to stock" guides but now I'm screwed.
- The phone does not boot.
- Download mode is broken, the phone doesn't connect to my computer while in download mode, so it's unusable.
- TWRP is gone. When I try to boot to recovery after yes both times I get nothing. Not the stock recovery and not TWRP, it just tries to boot as usual.
- Can't seem to go back into fastboot either. I tried VOLDOWN + plug-in the phone about 200 times now, to no avail.
Is there another way that I'm missing ?
Thanks.

It does sound like a hard brick... you said fastboot is hosed, do you have access to adb in any way?
Sent from my moto g(6) play using Tapatalk
None that I know of, that's the issue. If I had access to either fastboot, adb or download mode, I could most likely salvage this, but I can't seem to be able to.
The weirdest thing is the broken download mode, I couldn't find anybody with the same issue...

On my lg tribute HD (ls676) fastboot was removed by lg themselves on Android 6.0.1 quietly with a security update and download mode never worked right for me. Without access to fastboot, adb or even diag mode it really sounds like you have a hard brick. if i can find a solution of some kind, I'll definitely let you know.
