[Q] Phone working fine but no Download/Recovery - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guy's,
i have quiet a strange issues with my lg g2
I was on Cloudy flex (Kitkat) with my rooted G2 and wanted to try out the new Lollipop Cloudy ROM.
So i flashed it using TWRP.
It did not work and i Realized that i should have bin on Android 5.0 stock before flashing.
So i went back to 4.4.2 Stock ROM using the LG flash Tool and a kdz file.
Now the Phone is working fine, but there is no way to got to Download or Recovery mode anymore.
I did not expect TWRP to be installed anymore but i don't even have the stock Recovery and much more important no download mode.
Can somebody help me?

i think i bricked it now!
i was able to root the device and i installed Flashify.
Than i flashed laf.img with flashify according to that FIX: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706590
Now i cant do anything regardless of what i do the LG logo comes up and stays there for ever.
Even when i plug in the USB cable only the LG Logo pops up.
At least i can still see it in device manager but i can not find it in CMD using that instruction:

Well you are doing stuff on your own m8.
You will get a secure brick this way.
More info needed..what is your device recognized as ?

[Q] Help with bricked g2

I'm sorry if there is a post for this already, I have been using this website for a while and until now never had to post because all my questions were answered. This time I am not able to find an answer or even a thread with the same circumstances as mine. I rooted and installed a custom rom but didn't like it. I tried going back to stock but accidentally wiped the phone so the backups and the roms were gone. I had TWRP installed but it wouldn't allow me to sideload via adb and when I tried to enter download mode, it would enter it but go to a screen that just said firmware update and stayed stuck on there. So I went out and bought a OTG usb cable to read the rom off a flash drive and I installed it but now instead of going to recovery it goes to a black screen that just says fastboot mode udc start. Download mode still does the same firmware update screen. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.
What rom did you try to install what software version were you on

I just saw this. I have done the same thing. But I have been able to recover with TOT file. The trick to enter download mode is to hold the volume up button when you power on the phone. If you can get the phone to stay off, then hold volume up, while holding vol up plug in your data cable. You should get DL mode. If you do this while the LG Flash Tool is open, then go to control panel and find the COM port for the LG phone, open properties and advanced, change the COM port to COM41. Once that is done, also once the flash tool files are loaded and the COM41 box says ready, unplug your phone then replug your phone. You may have to also hold volume down here, I can't remember. But the first time is to let the drivers configure. The second time lets the flash tool see the COM port and it should start flashing. It will get around 80% and reboot. The flash is done and the tool will eventually report an error.
I installed the KK baseband as instructed, even also came from the stock ZVC update, rooted via IORoot25. It's a shame as I've heard great things about this ROM.
Hope that helps.

Lg D802 stuck on recovery because of Flashify

Hi Guys,
Just recently root my LG G2 D802 and I install a charmy looking app on playstore called Flashify. The app seems to do quite magic root stuff.
I installed Philz recovery successfully via Flashify app without any help or any computer. Soon after I tried to flash custom ROM AOKP into my lovely D802, but it just stuck on flash recovery mode screen.... Now I only have bricked LG G2 with no possible to hardreset or anything, it just stuck there!... I push volume down and power repeatedly and always go back to 'stuck recovery error'
Please help how to recover this issue..
Do I need to use LG support tool and fix recovery and go back to stock ROM?

[SOLVED]stuck on black screen

Hi,
I'm wondering if you could help me out. I bought a D800 G2 today from the internet. I rooted it and then used autorec to install twrp. I then created a backup and selected reboot to system. It then rebooted to a black screen and Now it will not boot. It just gets stuck on a black screen after the lg logo.
adb is working and I can get into twrp using adb commands. I can also get into download mode....
Thing is I have never had an LG phone before so I do not know how to get it to boot again. I read about two methods- KDZ and TOT but not sure which one I should use.
Thanks for any help
edit--tHANKS @thedoctor13th for the guidance...
Solution was to download custom rom onto a flash drive and use my otg to flash custom rom considering I was able to get into recovery. then update recovery and make a nandroid. phone's working to my knowledge. Haven't inserted a SIM into it yet. Will try that tomorrow.

[Solved] LG G2 D801 bootloop + no download mode, please help!

Update: Flashed a ROM and the D801 laf.img as suggested and things are up and running normal again.
Alright, so I've tried going through a number of solutions but none of them seem to work for me at this point.
LG G2 D801 (T-mobile version, unlocked)
Rooted device with stump root
Installed TWRP with Autorec
Stupidly took an OTA at this point, it gave me the "secure boot error" once and now the device has a bootloop at the LG screen (without the "secure boot error" text, mind you)
Attempting to enter Download mode (Vol up + plug in usb) has the same bootloop (nothing even close to showing download mode nor fastboot)
I can access TWRP though, and the device is at least visible in adb once I'm in TWRP.
I considered flashing CM to it as is, but I wasn't sure how that would affect the issues with booting and download mode.
Also, before someone suggests this thread about reflashing the kdz/tot, I don't think I can, since I can't seem to enter download mode.
Suggestions? The goal was to get to BlissPop ROM, or CM12.1 if that didn't end up working well for me, although at this point I just want to get it working however I can.

Flash a a ROM so that your phone is usable. Then you can flash download mode using flashify. Download laf.IMG for the d801 and then you can use flashify.

Great, that worked like a charm!
Thanks so much.
It feels like a dumb question now, it'd just been a year or two since I last flashed a ROM and wasn't sure if that was the right step to take next or not haha.
ROM is up and running well and laf.img got my download mode back, so all is well again.

[Q] LG G2 D802 Unbricking help needed :(

Hey guys, I know there are lots of brilliant minds in here, so I really need help, since g2 is my 2nd daily driver and my g4 died for some frickin' reason. Running D802 with cm11 flashed and cwm recovery.
Basically, I accidently accepted the auto software update and now, my phone rebooted and cannot boot (only boots into recovery). It cannot boot into download mode, so flashing the stock Android .kdz doesn't work without the dw mode. I tried to flash a ROM thru adb, but my pc didn't detect my g2 as an adb device, even tho I installed lg's usb drivers.
I really need the phone by tommorow and I have like 3 hours to do everything, any help would be appreciated a LOT.
tl;dr
LG G2 (hard?) bricked
no download mode
recovery still intact
phone doesn't boot
pc doesn't recognize it
basically stuck in recovery
