I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. I then rebooted the device. Now it is stuck at the bootloader (white Google logo on black background) and I can't get it to do anything else. I've rebooted it a bunch of times including with the vol + and vol - buttons held down to no avail. I've also let the battery run out and then tried to boot it up again and the same thing happens. adb nor fastboot see the device and it doesn't show up in the logs on my machine (Mint 13) as coming online at any time.
Most of the times I reboot it with the power switch it reboots to the Google logo even without me letting go of the power button. Sometimes I can get it to fully power off but I haven't figured out what combination of vol keys and reboot does that.
Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!
You are not bricked if you can still get into the bootloader.
Download the factory image from here, and flash it with fastboot. If you don't know how to do that, read this thread.
I wish I could get fastboot to see it then I could definitively flash that img.
I can't get into the bootloader and can't get fastboot or adb to see it. It's stuck at the Google logo now and when i hold the power key it reboots back to the Google logo with the unlock logo at the bottom.
Thanks for the help
You've tried holding volume down+power for 10+ seconds? That should power off the device, then hold both vol up+down down and power up
Ya I've tried to hold vol + and power for 10+ seconds and it reboots back to the Google logo even if I don't off the power key. Same happens with all the other combinations of keys being held with the power button. I can't get it to turn off now unless I let the battery die
Press and hold power till screen goes black. Then quickly press power+volume down and HOLD.

Tried that and still stuck at the Google logo. I have to go to work for a couple hours and then will hack on it when I'm back. Hope I don't have to deal with Googles rma process seeing how disorganized the rest of that company is

No luck with any button combos but the vol + and power actually turned it off. All out of ideas over here. I'm thinking it really is bricked
I'm in the same spot. I can get it into recovery occasionally but once there it locks up after trying to flash or clear the cache.
I'm wondering if a contributing issue is CMR v6.0.0.6? I updated it from 6.0.0.4 that was running fine. But no fastboot or adb so that is doubtful.
This is frustrating and not a great start with this N7.
thank you

this worked. you have to be fast. as soon as screen goes black release power button then quickly, very quickly repress along with vol up and down.
You will still be able to get into the bootloader! Force kill the tablet by holding the power button for ages. Then hold volume up and volume down and the power button together, which will boot to fastboot.
It looks like a CWM bug as I feared. Anyone in the same boat try here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782932
Nothing has worked and I've literally tried everything that those three buttons can do. Thanks again for all the help guys. Had a great time trying to resurrect it but guess it's time for it to go back home
Just as I suspected. Google puts out buggy junk once again.
I just wanted to report a similarly event. I have a rooted, unlocked Nexus 7, with TWRP recovery. I have previously rebooted without issue. Tonight I booted into bootloader mode to check something and the hit power button to choose start. I got stuck on the boot logo. After finding this thread, I started with the simplest combination and held power button until screen went dark, then added volume down and once again in bootloader. This time choosing start led to a regular system boot. It's as if the device froze and needed a hard reboot.

I was attempting to boot into recovery and kept getting the 'Google' logo (I am unlocked/rooted with twrp recovery). I wasn't aware that one had to be plugged in via usb in order to *not* hang....
Any way around this?
Once I plugged it in and attempted to boot into recovery it worked fine.
I had a similar issue after using the Nexus Root Toolkit to flash to nakasi 4.2 with CWM recovery - just got stuck on the nexus boot screen, flashing in a loop for over 15 minutes.
I ended up powering down the device, holding power for about 5-10 seconds - then QUICKLY holding both the power and volume up+down keys, it then went into the fastboot screen.
After it was there, plugged it into my PC.
Now, this should work for you - assuming you have all the fastboot/usb driver stuff installed.
I extracted the contents of nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tgz into the same directory as the fastboot.exe provided by WugFresh with his Nexus Root Toolkit (google search or xda search for this if you dont have it, i dont think i can post links due to my low postcount) - typical filepath: C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data
By the files in there, I mean drilling down inside the tgz to where the image files were inside so that files like bootloader-grouper-4.13.img, image-nakasi-jop40c.zip etc were extracted into the directory and sitting alongside the fastboot.exe - NOT in a subfolder.
Once its all here, running flash-all.bat (this is provided by google in the nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tgz) from the command line or by double clicking on it from explorer should kick off the process. After about 2-3 minutes, it was complete, and my Nexus then booted up within about 3 minutes after that.
Also worth noting, device remained unlocked, but I lost root/root binary
Hi
need help!!!!!
My phone is completely messed up.
i got an update form LG.
after installing it the phone got suck in boot loop.

Thanks
Ran :good:
sorry was wrong.
try turn phone off, add usb, then press volume up. I think that's it.
Hi
did no work also
I am having the same problem, went to lg service centre, they could not enter download mode as well. I might need to change the circuit board for $321 singapore dollars..
Hi
i think you have to use this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
This happened to me,
Try holding the power and volume down hold until lg logo, let go and press and hold the volume down and power again, it should get you in recovery.
It might get you into a screen called "Factory hard reset" Agree using the power button, and it should take you to your recovery, and try flashing a ROM along with the Gapps (if you want, which I did) and then I used a recovery file after booting back into recovery to restore it to my previous state.
Good luck :good:
Shut down phone
From what I got from this, you're having problems shutting down your phone, correct? It keeps booting back up after the screen goes black? If this is the case, hold the power button (and don't let go) until it goes black, reboots itself, then goes black again. Shouldn't take more than 2 seconds after rebooting to shut down. Then, you can do volume up + USB to get into download mode.

Rooted my Lg G2, downloaded freegee, installed TWRP, turned off and wont turn on. no boot loop or anything. if I hold power+volume-down long enough it will flash a red LED but nothing else. will not connect to my computer. PLEASE tell me if there is any way to fix it.
Take out usb power. Switch off. Wait couple seconds. Press power button, and on LG screen press volume down and power at same time and keep pressed. Then it reboots into factory reset. Which is twrp. Wipe cache and dalvik and boot again.

hold the power+volume up button to get to download mode and on your computer kdz it to your stock firmware 4.2.2 or 4.4.2

The LG logo never appears.
ok turn off, keep pressing volume up, power cord in whilst pressing, do you get download mode? if so reflash kdz or update recovery via lg mobile suite.
if that doesnt work, try installing drivers on computer again, reboot computer, turn on phone connect, check if you can adb to it, then there might.be some how to adb recovery on it, as well as pushing a rom on it. maybe.
did you check twrp size before putting it on? also was it correct version for your phone version?

Hello.
I have an LG G2 802 that i managed to royally screw up last night, I was about to install the new firmware update for my phone, completely forgetting that i had a custom rom installed on it. After the firmware update was finished downloading, the phone rebooted into TWRP and would not boot normally after that, could not boot into the previous custom rom i had installed... I decided to wipe all the data, and try to use an old backup i had laying on the internal storage, got to it, wiped all data and started recovering the old backup. But the revovery wasn't working properly and it gave me an error, after fiddling around with TWRP a little more, i went into wipe -> advanced wipe -> and wiped everything, because i had an idea that i could just force a new rom over by ADB from my PC, and this all resulted in that I have no operating system, the phone boots into TWRP all the time, I've tried to hard reset it, but it just boots into TWRP whatever i do
Please help
Just flash a new KDZ over it. And next time check XDA if someone had the same problem as you and you will find the solution.
I've done a quick search about flashing a new kdz, and they involve getting into download mode, I can't access download mode, it just sends me to TWRP no matter what i do

Ok Hold the power button until the phone flashes twice and then let go off the power button. When it's off, hold volume up and then connect it to USB simultaneously.
I just tried doing that, held the power off button until the LG logo flashed twice, the phone turned off, and then i held volume up button, LG logo appeared and then it just went straight into TWRP

For those who have similar issues, I did the below steps:
1. While connected to computer in CWM recovery, install the drivers via PdaNet (these replace any original LG drivers)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1983470
2. Connect to phone via ADB while still connected in CWM recovery (see below ADB download if you didn't already have it or forgot where it was)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2317790
3. While connected via ADB you can use the same method as in the below thread (use the first one).

Tried it, it turns off, then the notification light at the top of the phone (beside the front camera) blinks 8 times if i constantly hold the volume up and power button, as soon as i release power button and volume up, the phone boots with the LG logo and then goes into TWRP.

What he meant was, hold the Volume Up button & connect the phone to your PC. Don't have to hold power button at all. Try this mate.

When the notification LED starts to blink, let go of both buttons for a split second and hold them back again. Make sure USB is connected. Since you have TWRP working, Download should also be available.

The problem is that you have to have the phone off to even attempt to get in to download mode.

If i try to power off the phone WITH the usb cable connected to it, it just reboots automatically, so i cannot power off the phone without it rebooting all by itself, and then going into TWRP.
I tried to hold volume up and power while my phone was in TWRP and it rebooted, LG logo came up and then the red notification light started blinking, then i tried to do what you told me to, quickly release volume up and power button, while the LED was blinking, but nothing happened, other than the phone just rebooting, and then the LED started blinking red again, this just looped over and over again...
Turn it off, hold volume up and connect USB cable. Does it go to download mode?

I had the same problem, stuck on logo lg , when i tried to go to download mode, i got stuck in the first step of it (i can't see the step with firmware update etc...) and when i tried to make a factory hard reset, it goes on the recovery mod.
After seeing many forums since 3-4 days, i tried to flash the kitkat kernel, so i used the adb sideload ---> so connected on recovery mod, then make install from sideload, then on your command (on windows) type adb sideload thenameofthekernel /sdcard/ and normally the recovery should install himself the kernel and you can reboot your phone
I still have an issue, can't access on download mode but i can use the phone as before, so if anyone can help, i listen you ^^

Hold down the power button till the it turns off and keep it held down the LG logo will flash up again then go off after that release it and wait a few seconds making sure the phone does not boot up again. Then hold down the volume up button and with the usb connected to the computer plug the USB into the phone this should then put it into download mode.
Why don't you sideload a rom in twrp recovery via adb?

I am in the same boat as you. Dont' know what to do.
When I try to boot into download mode - I see the initial screen but computer doesn't detect anything
Hi,
I thought I could enter the Hidden Menu and change the Fast Dormancy setting into disabled, so I did it and wanted to reboot my phone. The phone turned off, and was doing its boot up procedure, while it started behaving abnormally. The LG logo popped up for about 5 seconds (so it didn't leave the bootloader), turned off for 10 seconds and then again the whole process repeated. I thought that was a bootloop, so I turned it off, entered Factory Reset menu, chose appropriate options and waited for the reset, but the phone didn't perform the action. Then I tried to get into download mode, but to no avail - the phone kept going with bootloop. I'm still struggling to do this; the only menu I could get into was the Factory Reset one.
Could anyone help me get my phone back into function?
D802, 20G stock
Thanks in advance!
That's weird. I always disable fast dormancy after a reset or a new rom flash and I've never had any issues.
What comes instead of download mode? If nothing, Are you sure you're doing it correctly?
Press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds.
Plug the phone into the cable, then press and hold volume up and plug the cable into the computer. That should trigger download mode.
Thank you for your help.
I know that's weird, I've entered Download mode numerous times using the combination that you provided and can't do it this time. The strangest thing actually is that the factory reset menu does show up (though it does nothing), while Download mode does not - it seems to be actually unaffected by using the combination and is still stuck in a bootloop. I have no idea what steps should I take in order to recover my phone.
I forgot to mention that the phone wasn't even rooted then, which makes it even more mysterious...
Ouch! Well what comes up when you enter download mode? Fastboot? Black screen?
If you're still covered by warranty take it for a replacement. I doubt fast dormancy alone has messed up your device. If it truly has, then try booting the phone without a sim card.
Normally when I insert the USB cable with vol up button pressed, the LG logo shows up, then the notification of Download mode and finally the Software Update screen. But this time, only the LG logo shows for about 5 seconds, as if I normally booted it using Power button and does not get me into neither Download nor Fastboot mode.
Well, I took a look at other options in this hidden menu, but still, could it brick that hard even then?
I doubt whether I'm still eligible for a replacement, as the device had been rooted already (though it's not at the moment). The whole process also takes quite a lot of time, which is why I wanted to avoid it. Is there any method to bring it back to life?
I wanted to revive my phone using the method linked with flashing the whole partitions onto my phone, but Ubuntu didn't even notice that any drive was connected...
Am I doing something wrong? I mean e.g. is the combo Vol Up + cable still the same in D80220G? Is there any other way of accessing the phone through my computer? Can I somehow stop this bootloop from continuously happening? Doesn't the fact that I can get into Factory Reset menu help in any way?
Thanks for your help in adavnce!
