[Q] Stuck in nonworking Download Mode - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
My T-mobile G2 (CloudyG3 before it got bricked) is currently stuck in download mode, and I mean that's the only thing it can boot into. Vol - and power gets me into factory reset screen, but when I go through the steps it just ends up booting back into download mode.
I'm trying to flash stock .KDZ files with LG Flash Tool 2014, but to no avail. I have tried all of them from http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2FT-Mobile+G2%2F, but a " *version #* - NOT SUPPORT" message shows up everytime in the box.
I have also tried the other flash tool, the one that uses .dll and .tot, and that one also gives me an error before the automatic flash process starts.
Basically, download mode progress bar has never budged a single percent in all my numerous tries.
Any advice is greatly appreciated

[Q] Stuck in bootloop (yes one more)

Hello everybody,
I'm having a problem : after failing to flash a rom with cmw on my F320S, i got stuck in bootloop : when i turn it on, i only have the LG logo with LED on. I can go to download mode, but then the phone isn't recognized anymore by my pc.
So i tried everything i could from this forum :
- with LG mobile support tool (from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476) : it says "upgrade is stopped because of an error". The phone is plugged with LG logo on, and as i said before if i go to download mode it keeps telling me to plug the phone.
- with flashtool v1.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475045) : if i plug the phone and turn it on, it asks me to go to download mode. But then the phone isn't recognized, and it says "download failed".
- with lg mobile support tool (the official one), it says my phone is up to date, and if i try the recovery after error option, the download never starts (i left it all night long).
I also tried to reinstall the drivers, with no effect.
As i said i'm on F320S, so all i have for startup is normal boot (stuck on LG logo), download mode (not recognized by computer), and if i push all 3 buttons a strange korean menu (google translation says it's "external structural mode" or something like that).
So if anyone had an idea, a solution, well anything that could help, i would be very grateful.
Thanks you all!

If anyone could even give me an idea, a hint, something? Did i miss something? Or is it bricked forever? Thanks!
can you boot into recovery?
If you can. either do adb sideload or flash a custom rom
Nope can't load into recovery... And in download mode phone isn't recognized, that's the main problem i guess, otherwise i would flash back to stock
Hey i finally maanged to get into recovery. But factory reset doesn't seem to work (unknown volume "/sdcard/ .andoid_secure). Wipe data didn't fix bootloop. Adb says no device. So what can i do?
Well after a whole day trying to get adb to work, i finally ended connecting to my G2. I followed all the steps to install twrp from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 . But now when i boot i don't have twrp, and if i push vol+ and power i don't have cwm either (says recovery mode, loading, and never loads)...
I guess i'm in trouble, could anyone help?
hello anyone?

Using the flash tool will take your phone completely back to it's original factory state and that includes the recovery. If you get stuck in a bootloop after using this method, you should be able to fix it by performing a hard factory reset.
When the device is powered down hold the volume down button. While pressing volume down press the power button. After the device kicks on release both buttons. As soon as the LG logo appears press the power button a second time. It's a little tricky at first but if you have done it correctly it should go into a white screen asking you if you would like to perform a factory reset. Go ahead and reset the phone.
This should fix your problem and boot you up into a fresh install.
I tried this but it dose not work, I can't get into the recovery mode. the g2 stuck LG logo....

LG G2 stuck on logo, no recovery, download mode not working properly

Hi everyone,
After trying to flash the resurrection remix rom on my LG G2 D805, i got stuck on the logo, with no recovery mode, and on download mode it says "USER B3" or "USER B4" and rooted, and when i try to flash the kdz file it says "upgrade stopped due to an error". Also, the phone if not on download mode is not recognized by windows, and on download mode, on device manager, its recognized as "USB composite device". Furthermore, I don't know if this have anything to do with the issue, but on the same day i tried to flash the rom, in the morning the phone was REALLY hot, even burning my hands, and not turning on, so i left it cool down and then it was working properly when i decided to flash the rom... Do you guys think there is any way to get my phone back working?:crying:
Thank you all for your time!
Are you positive you cannot enter recover. Try this. Hold the power button for 30 sec. Then hold volume down and the power button simultaneously until you see the lg logo. When you see the logo quickly let go of the buttons and reclick them immediately. It should go to factory reset screen. From there continue and you should boot into twrp.

Nope, doesn't work. The phone just keeps rebooting and after pressing both buttons gets stuck on the logo, or just turn the screen off and start blinking a red led...
what g2 model do you have? if you are in the screen of user b3 or user b4 and the word rooter with red color as you mentioned then you are in download mode, now if kdz is not working the other method you have is TOT method, if there is no tot files for your g2 variant try to uninstall and then reinstall the drivers and then try flash kdz again or also you can try with fastboot commands to return to recovery
Thank you so much! I found the TOT files and could save the phone, problem solved

[HELP] DemiGod Crash Handler : Kernal Crash (Can access recovery)

Phone Model: AT&T LG G2 (D800)
Recovery: Custom TWRP Recovery
ROM: CM12 Official ROM
My phone was working fine from last 3-4 months, until today it restarted and got stuck on 'LG' logo, I left it for some time and it shows the demigod green screen of death with option to access download mode and restart.
What I already did!
1) Full hard reset, I can access the TWRP.
2) Flashed the ROM again.
Current Situation!
Stuck on LG logo from last 10mins.
Thanks in advance.
Edit #1: Reflashed the same ROM (CM12) and it booted into the language selection page, freezes and restarted. Stuck on black screen, I turned it off by pressing the power button for 10-15 secs. I kept it in a freezer for 10-15secs and turned it on, same happened.
Edit #2 I flashed a stock based ROM through TWRP, it was going fine but it froze in between, I waited for some time and it went black. I waited for 1 hr and it was still black so I hold the power button and restarted the phone.
Now its showing "Secure Boot Error" which remains for some secs and a black screen comes, I can't open TWRP, Download mode is accessible but after 2 secs into download mode, secure boot error comes. Whenever I try to connect it to Windows PC(I installed all the required drivers and all) it starting popping up drives(with option to format) which never stops until I remove the USB cable.

Steps to perform.
1. While in critical error screen you have an option to press volume up button to boot into download mode( although it will not boot to download mode) but still press volume up button so your Pc can detect your phone.
2. Now flash a kdz file of your lg g2 with flash tool. ( you can google for it to download flash file for your lg g2 and how to flash it with lg flass tool.)
3. When you will try to flash it will fail..
4. Now power off your phone by pressing power button.
5. Now boot to download mode and flash the correct kdz with lg flash tool and u r good to go..
To acess download mode power off your phone immediately press volume up button and while keep pressing it and plug in usb cable and you will be in download mode
I performed all this on lg g2 d801 but i hope u can try it on other varients as well. As i was scared of short circut method and srk tool didn't help..

Thanks for replying.
My case is a bit different now, I reflashed the same ROM(CM12) and it successfully booted, worked for 10 secs and it was frozen, restarted automatically, stuck on LG Logo.
I notice that there's some heat issue, I kept it in freezer for 10 secs, rebooted it, it booted till language selection page and freeze after 10-15secs.
Also the link is for DemiGod Critical Crash, mine is DemiGod Kernel Crash.
Updated!!
First post updated, please check the current situation before posting anything.
I don't have a computer or laptop to connect it to so how can I fix it?

d802 hard bricked, cant enter recovery, download mode, any advice appreciated

Hiya I managed to brick my d802 after wipng from twrp I believe.
It seems hard bricked and nothing is working, all the happens when I boot is that i gets stuck in the LG logo. If I try download mode its not working, and impossible to boot into recovery mode, when I hit the power button all it shows is "charging! ??/100" in a yellow font in download mode
Its not showing up in windows device manager as anything but "charging" also tried the guide on short circuiting the connections on the processor and its not responding to that also.
Ive attracted a link to a screenshot of the charging error. any advice is appreciated.

If it's stuck in LG logo, it's possible to turn it off completely, put it in download mode with a computer and flash a stock kdz. No need to fry the transistors.
