[Q] Bricked lgp700 after flashing cm 11.0

Hello,
I am very new to rooting etc. I rooted my phone a few days ago, unlocked bootloader and tried to flash cm11.0 with rom manager (cwmg) following this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521239
Unfortunately I didn´t understand the instructions well, so after wiping caches, instead of doing a full format I did a user data etc format (which i now think was a factory reset). Tried flashing, didn´t succeed.
Anyway, when I try to switch it on I only get the lg logo and then the batery charging thingy When I try to go to recovery mode with volume up power and menu button, my phone goes on a loop of lg and cyanomod logos untill infinity ( Have to take off the battery). Tried to use heimdall (as i have a mac) to flash kdz back to it, but phone was not recognized. On my pc tried the same, but again phone not seen. I can see it on my computer as an unrecognized external usb but cannot explore. Any ideas on what to do??
thanks in advance

As soon as you plug your USB into your phone, hold down the volume up (+) button and the power button and release them after holding them down for about 2 to 3 seconds. Then, install the USB driver for your phone with the LG Mobile Support Tool. Secondly, download and install the LG PC Suite program and last but not least, download the KDZ program. Install the correct firmware for your phone and make sure you select 'EMERGENCY' from the list on the top right of the KDZ program. Select your downloaded firmware file and start the program. If everything worked out, the program should crash after it's done and your phone should reboot. Disconnect your phone from the computer if it doesn't reboot and try to boot it up again.
You can find all of these programs along with tutorials on how they work by searching on either XDA or Google.

did forcing recovery/download work ?

the phone off usb in and buttons did it work ?

Actually didn´t work,I have drivers already, LG PC Suite program , and KDZ. Problem is my phone is not detected by pc, so kdz unzips and then says : phone not detected, with or without battery...doesn´t go into recovery mode with buttons, just lg and cyanomod logos...
I don`t know if this can b fixed.....How can you flash anything if it´s not detected....
I´ll give it a try again tomorrow, without trying to enter recovery mode....but tried lots of buttons combinations and wasn´t working

Press these buttons
volume +
,volume -
home button
together with the power button
release all buttons except power button when you get a vibration
release the power button immediately after the lg logo has appered
this should let you get in the recovery menu

[Solution] LG G2 won't boot to Download Mode [Fixed]

Okay, first off, I know there are threads about this, but none of them were helpful on my problem. So if you're having the same issue and it worked, don't forget to hit the thanks button! This isn't a very well made instruction, but it'll suffice. I haven't seen this method, so I thought I should share it.
Device: LG G2 AT&T D800
- I assume this may work on all the other variants as well
Issue:- Device won't boot to Download Mode even when doing VOL Up + USB, and my android system has crashed/force closed
Solution: (Warning: this is very tedious and annoying so put up with it like I did)
1. If your phone doesn't have USB debugging already enabled, go ahead and do so
- This... I had to press quickly to get to the Software Tab and tried to simultaneously click OK while trying to turn on Developer Option.
2. Install ADB if you haven't already. Run adb as Admin, type in adb reboot fastboot
- You should then boot into fastboot with a bunch of small white text saying some fastboot and shizz
3. Go ahead and hold the power button, at the same time holding the Volume Up button
4. DOWNLOAD MODE should come up
5. You can now restore your G2, You can look up the files somewhere here in the forums to restore.
Good luck, enjoy, say thanks, click thanks.

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?
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

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?

Urgent help please........

My lg g6 H870 bootlooping again and again. Download mode is not coming. Factory reset not working.
Please help me.

I never had to do this with my G6, but to unbrick my old LG L9 i had to invoke Download Mode manually, instead of waiting for the flash tool (connected via ADB) to perform a reboot to Fastboot to perform the actual flash process.
That never happened after upgrading from Windows 7 to 8.1 and later, but i suspected the phone's no longer supported TI OMAP SoC to be the culprit.
If i remember correctly for the real Download Mode the phone had to be switched off and while keeping volume up or down pressed(and not power, but i'm not sure) you had to attach phone to usb and if you didn't accidentially release the button during that , the phone would power up into the special D/L mode, unlike Fastboot which would be used otherwise.
Then Windows and flash tool would recognize the phone. With the original LG recovery tool performing online recovery it then worked, while with the unofficial tools and a kdz file it was trial and error for no reason.
But LG's trusted flash tool is no longer supported on the G6 since the Android 8 update, you need the proper new tool(which cannot even deal with UHD screens unlike the old one).
(The original LG flash recovery tool and the inofficial ones can both initiate a reboot- to- Fastboot AND recognize D/L mode and hopefully the current tool, too.
And you can always try to invoke Fastboot by power and vol up or down, but that was no longer an option with the L9 back then)

You need to do this
1. immediately after start connect usb cable to your device and pc, press and hold power button + volume down
2. asap as it reboots stop holding previously mentioned buttons (while screen is black) and press and hold volume up
that's all if you'll do it right Download mode should come up
