I recently put TWRP on my LG G2 from Tmobile (D801). I then used it to flash CyanogenMod 10.2. It worked great. Then I decided to see if any other ROMS were available.
I downloaded AEON v3.zip (which I now realize was for D800) and tried to flash it from TWRP. It (obviously) didn't work as I expected, and now I can't get the phone into recovery mode. When I try to get it into the download mode (volume up+plugging in USB), the download mode screen flashes up for a second, but then it just goes to the Fastboot mode started /udc_start() screen.
It appears that I can use the fastboot utility on my computer to interact with the phone. fastboot devices -l results in a question mark (it says "? fastboot").
I've tried downloading openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2tmo.img and flashing it to my device with:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2tmo.img
It indicates that it is successful ("OK") but I still cannot get into recovery mode.
Help?
Try downloading an app from The Play store called Quick Boot, it should let you reboot into recovery. Also, I'd imagine CM has a feature that allows you to boot into recovery from the power menu when you hold your power button down for a sec.

Thanks for the reply! I didn't have a working ROM to boot into, so I was just trying to get into Recovery mode to begin with.
Got some help from autoprime on #lg-g2 and found out that I was using the wrong timing on my recovery mode key presses to get into TWRP.
hello all
i have UNROOTED LG G2 D802 and i want to flash the latest firmware (Lollipop 5.0.2) using KDZ method
but my phone does not boot into download mode (volume up & plugging the USB cable) .. it goes to battery status only!
any help?
Hi guys! From what I understand the phone has 3 modes of boot. Recovery , normal and download mode.
I installed TWRP as recovery . At some point the cellphone only boot to recovery (in all modes) , I fixed it with some adb commands but now I got recovery and normal mode.... My cellphone is fine but Im not able toi install any original rom with the lg tools.
I already tested the key combinations and with apks that have the option to boot to download mode presing a button. Booting to download mode enter TRWP
My device is a d806 AND im on rooted stock 4.4.2.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks
Any help ? nobody knows how to restore download mode? :/
So I wiped the system partition on my LG G2/D800 (mostly out of stupidity) and now I'm stuck in the boot loop.
Symptoms are following:
1. Stuck in the boot loop
2. Will not go into download or recovery mode
3. When turning on the LG logo appears and disappears repeatedly
4. Device is not detected when plugged into the USB
5. Factory reset using VolDown+Power doesn't do anything
I've tried most of the ideas I've been able to find on the forum, but it looks like I'm stuck mostly because I cannot enter download mode and the phone is not detected in any way when plugged into the USB (no many partitions or anything).
Will be grateful for any ideas how to get out of it?

so vol up and then plug usb, does not take you to download mode?
if not try using srk tools.. if that doesnt work i think you need to short circuit your motherboard.

Indeed I cannot enter download mode with vol up then plug usb.
Good news is that I was able to enter qhsusb mode by short circuiting the moterboard. I used srktools to unbrick in qhsusb mode, however it didn't work. The linked guide recommends to flash only laf.img, aboot.img and boot.img. I don't really understand how flashing more can hurt. I also don't completely understand why flashing these should help. After all, I messed only with the system partition. I'll try to follow the guide more closely, but I'm thinking that a better idea would be to flash system partition in a qhsusb mode. I just need to figure out where to get system.img from.

So now I can consistently get into ghsusb mode by short curcuiting the motherboard, and I can flash img files with dd. I flashed every partition from the stock FW which was on my phone. Now when hold vol up and plug in usb, I'm ending up in a stock recovery. However, I still cannot enter download mode and the phone still suffers from boot loop if I choose to reboot the phone.

I bought the phone from AliExpress. I've tried holding all the keys in all the combinations and the phone just boots normally. I've run adb reboot bootloader, authorised access from the phone ,and it just reboots normally. I've just used LG UP to update the firmware to V350NO30d. Nothing has changed. Can anyone suggest a fix?
Additional: According to this page it's not the usual power & volume up combination. https://droidrecovery.com/lg-v35-thinq-recovery-mode/
You have to hold volume up and connect the USB cable. I tried the combination to get to download mode (volume down & connect USB) and that works. The bootloader/fastboot combination still didn't.
Update: The phone's bootloader is already unlocked. See screenshot. As I've already flashed new firmware to it using LG UP can I be sure there's not nasty spyware left on it? I wanted to do a full wipe using TWRP and return it to stock. Apparently TWRP isn't easy to use on this phone.
[RECOVERY] OrangeFox for LG V35 (judyp)
Requirements -LG V35 with unlocked bootloader -Android 10 (Oreo and Pie are untested) -A PC and ADB + Fastboot Download https://www.mediafire.com/folder/rd4o8mwzfg88i/Ofox Instruction 1. You need fastboot access. Erase the laf_a and laf_b...

Follow this. Start by erasing laf_a and laf_b partition.
Ok, anyone having issue with phone not going to download mode or fastboot mode? Tried plugging usb cable with volume +/- nothing happens? Could it be because i flashed orange fox recovery? I feel its the only thing that this could happen tried flashing kdz by manually(kings tool) going to download mode but still not going to download mode when pressing volume buttons
