Phone was stock 4.4.2 from sprint. I did root the phone. The thread said the auto tool would install recovery so I did not install it beforehand.
I ran OneClick_ROOT_RECOVERY as described in a thread on the Xdaforum by accident. It says for d802 only; my phone is the ls980 sprint. Didn't notice d802 at the top of the thread. Phone is now stuck in fastboot and reboots into fastboot. Phone does respond to fastboot commands from command prompt. Phone was running 4.4.2.
I installed openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-ls980 from fastboot hoping if I rebooted it would launch into twrp. It just keeps rebooting into fastboot.
Tried LG flashtool, can't get phone into download mode. It goes into download briefly, then immediately goes into fastboot. Tried using lg flash tool, can't because phone will not stay in download mode..
Tried factory reset mode, it fails with 'certificate error'.
I'm totally stuck.
There are some repair services on eBay that I have used when I bricked my phone it cost about $15-20.

Hi.
I have a Vodafone Germany LG G2 with stock KitKat.
My story:
I installed root and recovery. Then I tried to install the OTA, doesnt work, tried it with LG PC Suite. Boot certification verify error.
Recovered all with this guide:
[FIX] NO Recovery mode, No download mode, after OTA on rooted LG G2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
Then flashed an open LG G2 kdz and all was fine again, but...
no Update for me with knock code.
----------------->>>>
So i tried to flash the original Vodafone KDZ in Offline mode. I get an error at 15 percent and it wont work. So i restarted my phone, but i only had a black screen. Nothing worked again (no download, no recovery). Ok, plugged in in PC and woha, broadcom device detected. Back to ubuntu and recovery again (see above).
After that, i restarted my phone, but no recovery was there... only the lg logo. Everytime. Again: No Download, no recovery. Stuck at bootloop every time. Factory hard reset can be called, but if i confirm, "Factory reset processing" appears, now for ~30 minutes. Is there a way to fastboot or to another state than that?
Any idea?
Hi, I just bought an LG G2 D802 20B Model a couple days ago, yesterday I wanted to downgrade to 4.2.2 and I ended up bricking the phone.
The phone is non rooted, doesn't have any custom recovery, and not recognized by adb even though i installed all the drivers ( koush drivers, PdaNet, Lg drivers ...)
At first I flashed with .kdz file and it ended in bootloop, I tried to factory reset but it doesnt have any effects with the stock recovery it only shows the green android bot and blue progress bar and then restart in 3 seconds and reboots to lg logo and start looping.. After a restart the download mode didn't work anymore it showed me fastboot error, I searched for the tutorial that actually worked and I flashed with .tot method but there is still bootloop and the download mode is stuck at the image attached. The phone is not recognized by neither windows or ubuntu therefore I can't use adb to fix the partitions.
Can any body provide me with a solution? The phone is still new and it will be a shame if its transformed to a brick in 3 days :crying:

Thanks for your reply, however the phone is not recognized on windows neither on ubuntu therefore this tutorial can't help ...
I am in the exact same situation.
Mine is a D802 32GB Hong Kong model. I stupidly ran AutoRec which soft-bricked my phone. Managed to get Download Mode working, then flashed 20C and 20B which bootlooped. Then I attempted to flash 10B, which got me into this exact state:
Download Mode not working (only shows "Download Mode", does not go to firmware recovery screen, not detected in Win/Linux)
Factory reset (Power + Vol Down) can go to factory reset screen, after factory reset, still bootloop.
Once in a while, I also get the Android icon which then disappears after a few seconds and goes to LG logo again.
If I plug the phone in and do a factory reset, Windows detects the LGE AndroidNet modem, and Linux will detect cdc_acm USB Abstract Control Model driver. Flash Tool and LG Mobile Support seems to detect the phone and attempt to flash, but the phone restarts after a short while.
I have no idea what else to do
I had Mahdi Rom for my LG G2. I went into recovery mode and installed a Kernel. When I rebooted, I was stuck on a boot loop. I tried to go into recovery mode, but first it asked to do a factory reset. I hit ok. It then brought me to recovery. It says that I am unrooted. I am able to go into download mode, but my computer says something is wrong with the driver. For some reason LG Support tool thinks I am in Optimus Rom and says everything is fine. Any advice?
Install proper drivers on your computer and return to stock using the .kdz method that's stickied in the G2 General section.
Okay, so not sure what I did here.
I have an LG G2 ATT version with 4.2.2 installed.
I was trying to install CM, which I already have on my Nexus 7 and love. But the LG G2 doesn't have a nice one-click install app like the Nexus 7 does.
So, I managed to root it, and got SuperUser installed and Clockworkrecoverymod.
At one point I also had TWRP installed, and I think that is where I went wrong. I went to flash a new fastboot / recovery mode and think I selected the wrong one (LG G2 International).
Ever since then, attempting to reboot into recovery using the hardware method (volume down + power) doesn't work. If i force it into fastboot mode using Clockworkrecoverymod or ioroot, I get a strange message.
All the phone shows is white text on a black background:
[830] Fastboot mode started
[940] -- rest --
[950] fastboot; processing commands
then, if i unplug the USB port, I get a few messages. If I replug it in, I get the above message again, with different time stamps.
If I boot normally, it pulls up the normal stock OS, but any attempt to boot into fast mode gets me this message. I can also boot into download mode, but it hangs at 0 %. I tried Flashing a new Recovery using clockworkmod, and it says it worked, but booting into recovery just results in ending up in the same Fastboot mode deadend.
I see the same message if I try to factory reset the phone through the normal software method in options.
So, it is great that I didn't completely brick my phone when I idiotically installed for the wrong mode, but without being able to get into fastboot mode, what are my options for getting back on there and back to stock so I can try again?
And yes, I tried to make a backup on my device, but when I went to go back to it, clockworkmod said it isn't there. Not sure how I messed that up, but anyone have any suggestions on what I can do going forward?
As I understand; If you're trying to boot it to recovery mode, it goes to fastboot mode, right?
If I understood right; you need just flash recovery to your device.
G2 has a different boot process from other devices. If bootloader failed to boot the thing you want to boot, it goes to fastboot mode. That's why it goes fastboot mode when you try to boot it to recovery.
Ah yeah, i just couldn't figure out how to get it out of Fastmode. I was a little confused about the difference between fastmode and recovery.
I seemed to have fixed the problem by AutoRec, for whatever that is worth. Now it boots into TWRP's recovery mode. Shouldn't be hard to get cyanogenmod now.

Give a thank to the OP of the threat.
Hey guys, I have a VS980 that was wrongly flashed with the wrong variant of CloudyG2 3.3, causing it to boot to Fastboot mode only. I used guides available on these forums that said I needed to flash the laf.img partition back to the phone to get it out of Fastboot mode but it now went back to Fastboot mode with a greyish-black screen, it did not even show the LG logo. I know it went to Fastboot mode because running the the "fastboot devices" command returned the phone identity. I then used SRKtook 2.1 to fix the Recovery, and this led to the phone going into QHSUSB 9006 mode. I then used the same SRKtool 2.1 to fix the QHSUSB 9006 issue. The tool successfully completed the process and even prompted me to flash the stock firmware, which I did using LGFlashTool 1.8, and one of the available TOT files (V26A). The flashing process completed successfully with a PASS. The phone powered on okay but with the same greyish-black screen as from before. I know the flashing process completed successfully because the the phone charges okay, the touchscreen works (even with the greyish-black screen I can unlock the screen, I can press the Home, Recents, and Back virtual buttons), and calls made to the SIM card inside the phone will ring). The PC recognizes the phone in MTP mode with Device Manager reporting it as being an LGE MTP Android Device, sometimes as a LG VS980 4G. My issues are these:
- What is it with the greyish-black screen? Anything I can do to rectify it? By the way it is not an LCD issue because I have repeatedly swapped screens from my other LS980 to the VS980 and from the VS980 to the LS980. On the LS980 both LCDs work perfectly.
- I can't get into Recovery mode. All the normal Volume Down+Power combo does is power on the phone. What can I do?
- I can't get into Fastboot mode. What can I do?
I am in the process of downloading every VS980 stock firmware I can find (10B, 11A, 26A, 39A, 24A, 27A). I will flash each to the phone, hopefully there'll be one that will fix my phone.
