Exacly the same story with factory reset.

1. un plug device from wall or pc
2 make sure phone is all the way off (hold down power and volume down) untill it stops booting
3. hold volume UP while plugging device into pc
4. follow these instructions to return to stock http://www.droidgreen.com/lg-g2-official-stock-android-firmware-rom/
5. allow usb debuging in dev options and install unknown sources in security
6. to root your device go to towelroot.com download apk and install
7. to flash custom recovery use freegee its found in playstore

my phone havent got download mode. I flash KDZ on blue dots downlad mode. After this my phone has bricked. Only black screen. After this i have flash on ubuntu partitions and twrp. Ewerything was ok but after restart my phone dont go to TWRP. Only LG. Now i cant do anything. I havent got download mode and after VOL- and POWER my recovery dont do anything. On monday i will send my phone to service.

IT WORKS!
Well.. problem has been solved almost it self. As I said before I was trying do hold volume UP and plug it to the computer. But phone was showing only the LG logo and that's all. Linux didn't see it either.
When every idea was used I tried to completly discharge it. When it turn off i tried to plug it in and check what happens but AGAIN I saw only LG splash screen and I left it in that way. I came back after maybe 10-15min and I found phone in Download Mode. Linux saw it and without any problem I installed fresh ROM.
Really I can't explain this but it's just happend. So my advice, try any possible solution and method.
Good Luck guys!

Glad to here sound like your device wasn't fully powered off patience is pretty mine say on download mode doing nothing fir 10 minutes once [emoji106]

Thank you, Ick56, for the ray of hope you've given me. My G2 is fully discharged since yesterday and I'm on the same boat as you - no recovery, no download, no fastboot, not detected by the computer. I'm trying your way now. My question is - when you plugged it in fully discharged, did you hold any buttons?
Thanks again and thanks in advance!

Thank you for your answer, but I wasn't asking how to get to download mode. I was asking the OP what he did when his battery was fully discharged.

I just plugged it in to the computer. Yes, it's sounds ridiculous but in some way after few minutes it worked. Maybe try it with volume up too, who knows what will happen ;p

Thanks again. Here's what happens:
1. While unplugged, I entered the Factory Reset mode and left it as it is (didn't push any buttons) in order for the display to drain the battery;
2. When the battery was drained the phone went off;
3. After waiting for a few seconds I plugged it into the computer;
4. The red led was flashing for a minute or so and then the LG logo came on;
5. I'm now waiting.
Will post again when/if anything happens
EDIT: Almost an hour now and still only LG logo

i have the same.

If your light flashed red that means it is charging you HAVE to hold the up volume WHILE plugging it in in to enter download mode DONT DRAIN BATTERY TO COMPLETELY POWER OF HOLD VOL DOWN AND POWER UNTIL OT STOPS BOOTING THEN PLUG IT IN WHILE HOLDING VOL UP

L7 P700 bricked with first version of custom kernel... please help.

I have an p700 with cm10( last version ), cmw touch last version, crossbreeder and first version of custom kernel (without oc). Run perfectly until yesterday. I intended to flash new kernel (V4). Battery was at 9 percent full. Reboot in recovery mode and... shock ... black screen. My phone is dead. Nothing... no power, no joy....
Thank you for help...

did your charge it? did it boot? can you enter recovery or emergency?
and why did you flash with only 9%?!?

From my experience with p500 (optimus one) 9% battery it more then enough for flash an kernel ... but it seems that 9% was not for real (first version of custom kernel has problem with battery status). Anyway ... after I downloaded the new kernel (v4), from reboot menu (cm10) I gave the reboot recovery command ... "Rebooting now" ... and ... instead of recovery mode, the phone was powered off. So I never got to flash ... Now it's dead, does nothing ... No power (with or without battery and the power cord plugged in), no recovery mode, no emergency mode, no charging.
I used original charger (0,75 A), after that an Samsung charger (1 A), after that an Logitech charger (1.5A).
I tryed to charge with my laptop from USB 2.0 port and 3.0 port, and with my desktop computer ( USB 2.0, 3.0 )... All I've got is THE BIG NOTHING.
Thank you for replay...
It just happen to Me..!

Unfortunately, the only way to bring it to life is JTAG. I paid ~ 35Euro for JTAG-ing.
damn
damn i want cm10 too, bet im to scared with bootloader unlocking etc after reading posts...
Its happend to me too and i found a way to get out there
Tip: NEXT TIME DO NOT INSTALL ANY KERNEL!!!
This is the solution:
1. Download LG Optimus L7 USB Driver for Windows | Mac
Download official LG Optimus L7 stock firmware from this page. The file would be a .kdz file. Download the appropriate firmware according to your network provider and country.
3. Download KDZ updater and install it on your computer.
4.The zip file has a Microsoft XML parser, make sure you run it as an administrator and restart your PC. This will solve the wparam 100 and lparam 6 issue mentioned in a comment below.
5.The next step is to put your phone into emergency mode. To do this, remove the battery of your phone and re-insert it (don’t turn it on). Press and hold Volume Up button and Volume Down button. While you are pressing the two buttons, press the Power button. So now, you must be pressing all three buttons together. See this video
6.Your phone will boot into emergency mode and you should see a yellow screen with Emergency mode written on it.
7.Pick up the USB Cable and connect your phone to the computer via the USB Cable.
8.Run KDZ updater as Administrator.
9.Choose the following options in KDZ Updater: Type: 3GQCT Phone Mode: DIAG and KDZ file is the one you downloaded in step 3.
*image:
http://www.hackmyandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Root-LG-P350-LG-Update.png
10.Re-check with the image above and ensure that you have the appropriate settings on the KDZ updater.
11.Take a deep breath and click on “Launch Software Update” button.
12.This process is usually long. It take quite a long time for the firmware to be flashed on your phone.
13.If everything goes well, you will see “Finished” written in the log screen and your phone will change to switched off mode from Emergency mode.
14.The next time you turn it on, your phone will take a lot of time to reboot. Stay Cool! its normal.

It is not possible to run that file as an administrator. I tried on 3 different systems: Win 8x64, Win 7x64 and Win 7x32. I have a logo stucked but after few seconds it plays the sound and logo does it's animation then same static logo and then it stucks. Is there any solution besides j-taging? Does warranty service cover this as a defect and repair for free?
Thanks

Try hard reset :
1. When the phone is switched off, press and hold the Volume down key + Power key with your left hand.
2. When the LED on the bottom of the phone lights up, touch and hold the Menu key with your right hand. You need to do this immediately, before the screen displays the LG logo. Make sure your left hand is still holding the Volume down and Power keys.
Then release the power key at vibration time.
3. When the LG logo is displayed on the screen, continue to hold the keys for around 2 seconds, and then release all
them at the same time, before the LG logo disappears.
Leave your phone for at least a minute while the hard reset is carried out. You will then be able to switch your phone back on.
Caution: If you perform a hard reset, all user applications and user data will be deleted. This cannot be reversed.

[Q] ?Bricked? LG G2 (D800) *Seriously Bad*

So I tried getting Cyanogenmod 10.2 for my LG G2 (D800). I did some stuff and ended up rebooting and getting this screen.
[650] Fastboot mode started
[700] udc_start()
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2403056&stc=1&d=1384904247
I used TWRP for backup, but can't even get into phone to do anything.
Also it won't come up on my computer when I plug it in with usb. I tried both my computers and they both had the drivers but the phone won't even connect to either pc. I could connect easily the day before though.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2403058&stc=1&d=1384904247
I also got this while pushing Power and both Volume buttons at same time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2403059&stc=1&d=1384904390
What should I do? :crying: If you guys need more info or pictures just tell me, I'll do anything to fix my phone.
Hold power down for 15+ seconds. Then hold volume up and plug in USB. This should get you into download mode to kdz. May take a few attempts.

I see your using Utorrent you pirate! JK
It looks as if your phone has some life left, not really too familiar with D800. Have You tried the key combo to get into TWRP? Does the D800 have download mode?
Also did you by chance flash the wrong rom (different carrier)? Did you wipe the internal storage?
It looks like the incorrect ROM was flashed, it did not like your boot.img. You should be fine. Hold down the power button for +-15s as he said. During that time the screen should turn off, back on to the LG screen, then back off again. The phone should stay powered off. Then, hold the vol- & pwr buttons, releasing them when you see the LG screen. While still on the LG screen, press and hold the power button until you arrive at the LG factory reset menu. Press the power button to confirm a factory reset, which will actually boot you into TWRP so you can restore your backup.

I got it to work again! Thanks everyone for helping me, I'll try not to break my phone again :laugh:

I have the lg g2 d800 as well and I also had a similiar issue. I wiped to clean for new rom and accidently before installing cm-10.2 I hit the reboot button. I just want to say thank you guys for all the knowledge base. Reading this thread fixed mine too.
I had similar issue couple weeks ago bad flash,no backups and unable to mount sd from custom recovery, the only way for me to fix this was to install rom via sideload, which was pain for two days.

Verizon G2 Stuck in Bootloop.

Hey guys,
So I got my G2 today and rooted it using the recommended root thread(IOroot10). It completed successfully and installed SU onto my device. It didn't actually ask for any permissions when i opened it and when I attempted to update the binaries it fails because I never get the toast about granting permission. So I factory reset and tried again. It didn't work the second time either. I thought maybe it's because I didn't take the latest OTA, so I factory reset one more time, took the OTA, and am now stuck in boot. I can't get to any recovery or download mode.
The phone boots the LG logo then gives me a boot loader secure check real fast that it fails. After that it goes to a black screen and there's nothing I can do.
When I plug the phone in and let it get to the black screen, it creates a ton of virtual USB drives (16 to be exact). The first one contains a write protected folder named image which contains the files modem.bxx, mlserver.bxx, mc_b2.bxx, adsp.bxx, cmnlib.bxx, dxhdcp2.bxx, isdbtm,.bxx,
mba.bxx, playread.bxx, tqs.bxx, wcnss.bxx, widevine.bxx, where the xx in .bxx is replaced with sequences of 00 up to 26 in some cases. The rest of the drives it creates are empty.
Any sign of a recovery is completely gone, and I have no idea where it went
This is what appears in the top left of the screen when the LG splash pops up for a split second and goes black
_______________________________
ERROR: Boot Loader Verification

Things I've tried:
+Completely power off:
-Hold Vol Up and plug phone in (doesn't work)
-Factory Hard Reset (doesn't work)
-Hold Vol Up + Down and plug phone in (doesn't work)
-Power on, press Vol Up at vibrate (doesn't work)
+The phone never makes it to a point where I can ADB into it. I get the splash screen(with error) and straight to the black screen.
+Completely drain the battery and plug it back in to charge up. I end up with the same issue.
+Fastboot will not recognize the device, so flashing the recovery that way isn't an option.
-Could be a driver issue, but I think the phone just never makes it to a point where I can use fastboot.

Perhaps I'm missing something in that thread, but none of it applies to me.
The link to the other thread for if you can't get into download mode only talks about having TWRP installed on the device, which I don't.
And the rest of it is if you have ADB access, which I don't as well.

To get into download mode the G2 needs to be connected to the computer and upon turning on immediately press volume up. Compared to other devices, it's a weird way to do and may take a couple of tries to successfully boot into.

I'm still having no luck. I've read nearly 4 different ways to enter download mode for the vzw version and none of them have worked yet.
Holding the power button itself just restarts the device and it heads right back into the black screen. If I continue to hold the power button after it restarts, I get the LG splash again and then it shuts off.
It seems like the stock recovery is completely gone, but I don't understand why I wouldn't be able to get into download mode because of that.

The device itself will not turn off without me holding the power+up button for around ten seconds. Holding the power button itself just restarts the device and it heads right back into the black screen.

I have tried every button combination there is and still no luck It's really frustrating.
Try keeping USB plugged into both computer and phone. Hold power button down, as soon as u feel the haptic feedback from the reboot hold down the vol+ button.

truckroot, that does indeed work, I actually messed with my build.prop file today and it soft bricked my phone. It would turn on you'd see the LG logo and a black screen, man I was livid. So later I was going to to have it replaced under warranty, I called Verizon and what not and he told me to press this button combo and I got straight into CWM, holy crap that was quite an easy fix for me. Here is the key combo under "Alternate Method"

Yeah, I tried modifying an apk and got caught in a bootloop prior to button combo on recovery being available, so I thought I was screwed. Finally managed to get into download mode as I described and all was well.

[Q] LG G2 (rooted) bricked after OTA update

Hi guys,
i have a G2 D802 rooted with TWRP recovery. My brother did accidentily the OTA update. After that my LG had a bootloop TRWP.
Nothing was working, then suddenly it went black . No Screen, no battery light while charging, no recog from computer, no adb, nothing when i plug it onto the Computer. i searched tons of forums and threads , i used every method, but my phone does not do anything
Several threads are for phones with working ADB or anything working , mine isn't working at all .
What can i do ? i can't bring it to the LG shop because they told me it was rooted and rooted phones have no guarantee in our country.
Please folks does anybody had have the same problem ??

To Get ADB Working try this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48361867&postcount=68
The OP of that thread and one additional (and similar) command found later in the thread fixed up my recovery bootloop.

Looks like it's part of the LG mobile driver package.
Good Luck.

Have you tried to get to power mode? Press Volume Up & and then plug in the usb cable (enter to a download mode). And flash back to stock.

turn your phone completely off: unplug it from the usb and hold down the power button for like 20sec. the phone should not be turning on or doing anything. then press and hold the power plus volume down. as soon as the lg logo pops up, let go of those 2 buttons and immediately press and hold power + volume down again. this should being up an all white screen with black letters. now press the power button 3 times til you get to "factory resetting". this should boot you into twrp. from there you can do whatever you want. this time do not take the OTA. hehe.
the drivers for your phone will be on lg's g2 site. make sure you've installed those with your phone unplugged from usb. if you have a previous driver installation, uninstall that. the lg drivers have the adb driver inside of it. also make sure you are using the most up to date adb.exe. if not then it may not be able to communicate with your phone. you can get that from android's sdk.

the hard reset writes the same text on the top corner.. i really dont know how to fix the problem i have allready posted a new thread but noone responded ;(
The fact that you see anything, is a good thing. Let battery completely die, and then plug into USB while booting to download mode. I had VERY similar issue and that's worked for me, then flashed to stock.

With your phone on, and in recovery (twrp), plug it into your computer.
Open device manager.
Look for a disabled/uninstalled (marked with yellow) device that corresponds to tour device (in my case all it said was D800).
Choose properties/driver/update driver.
From here, you have to choose all the manual options ("let me choose the driver to install"), not automatic, .
Finally Windows should show you a list of device drivers compatible with your device.
choose the LGE (or androidnet) Single Sooner ADB ...
Let it install
Test your ADB interface (ADB Devices).

Sounds identical to the problem I had. It's like a REAL slow bootloop. If you catch it just right, can you get it to factory reset? And then from there, it just does the same thing?
Ooops.
I saw bootloop twrp.
I missed the black screen.
What do you get when you hold the power button for longer than 15 seconds (force shutdown), then power it back on (hold power for a few seconds, then release)?
If you have a fully non-booting device, warranty it, of course blame it on the update.

turn the phone completely off. unplug it from the usb/charger. while the phone is off, hold down volume up then plug in the usb/charger. you should automatically see download mode pop up. if that happens then you can return back to stock by googling howto's. if not then you will have to take it in.
no devices when you plug it into computer in that state?
Hopefully none of that text at the top of the screen mentions root or modified system.

Help - Locked safe mode

Hi there. Im Dante, from Argentina.
I own a LG G2, for a year now, and I never had a problem. Never installed a mod, just the stock configuration. Yesterday the phone screen got stuck out of nowhere, so I had to reset it holding the power button. When it reseted, it entered safe mode and now I can't get it out. I reseted several times, uninstalled apps and I did a software factory reset. Nothing, it still starts in safe mode.
I tried to do a hardware factory reset but when it asks to confirm by pressing the power button, nothing happens when I press it.
It's getting to my nerves and I don't know what to do.
Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.

Start your device in Download Mode and flash Stock Rom. More info here:

Download mode is not working
When I hold the vol up button and connect the USB, only the charging icon appears.

The device starts up in Safe Mode and I can call and recieve SMS but I can't get it out of safe mode. I can't enter download mode (the phone shows 100% battery charge when connected to the PC) and I can't enter bootloader so I can't flash anything.
It's soft bricked I think
