Update/Fix:
Got it to work again! I let the battery drain to 0% so I can boot it into download mode where I used the LG FlashTool to install ZVC. It's completely working now. I learned from my mistake.

Original post​
How it occurred:
I was trying to flash a ROM today with TWRP but I accidentally deleted/formatted my G2. (I haven't flashed anything in a while so I forgot that would delete the .zips) TWRP was unable to mount the USB so I restarted my phone and now I'm stuck at the LG logo.
What happens:
When I hold down the power button the screen goes black and the logo pops up again with the green and blue LED, so I can't turn off my phone completely. I tried going into download mode and recovery mode but it just shows the LG logo and nothing else.
If anyone knows how I can fix this, that would be great. :good:
Also, I have LG FlashTool. If I can get into download mode I think I'll be able to fix it.
Mod Edit:
Fixed and Thread closed at OPs request
Hello,
My phone only turns on if battery is present and it's plugged in to a power source. It does not power while only on a power source.
When it turns on for 5 seconds a Kies Firmware Restore warning is shown and then it tunrs off and powers back on again, when trying to enter download mode it does the same thing, showing the download screen only for 5 seconds, which renders any ROM modifications useless...
What should I do?
I also tried the unbrick plug but it didn't work.
I have same issue with a friends mobile, i am trying to help him out but it just goes off like 5 secs after it turns on, not enough time for recovery flash, the mobile was stock and he proberly in his drunken party fun accidently put it into to download mode and the power went off.
Pretty sure that is how, atm i am trying to charge the battery to make sure it aint the battery that is dead.
up please
Hey, if people are still stuck with this, here is how u can fix :
Buy a new battery and flash, or solder/tape 2 wirer to a usb cable that u plug to a power source and then flash (thats what i done)
So basically this rom is awesome but it had only one problem. When I plugged my phone in the charger while it was turned off, it bootlooped until I restarted with the cable off. It was no big deal and nothing bad ever came out of it.
Yesterday my batter ran out while I was asleep and when I woke up it was already turned off. I, absentmindly, tried to turn it on, LG Logo, off again. Did it one more time, nothing happened, realized it's out of battery. Plugged in charger, try to turn it off/on, usual bootloop happens. Say ok and proceed with what I always did, phone gets past LG Logo, goes into SlimLP boot animation and for the first it has just stayed there. No restarts, just endless loading. Longest i Left it on to load was about 45 minutes. Never got back on.
Apart from that, I think that for some reason my recovery got uninstalled somehow, by itself, a few weeks ago. I only noticed this because before, when I wanted to get into recovery, I pressed the usual buttons and it went straight into TWRP. Now the same buttons take me to the "Factory reset screen". I know that everyone says to just go ahead and press power, but I am afraid, since I am not sure if TWRP is still functioning. This happened to me another time on the same phone, and when I confirmed the factory reset, it factory resetted.
My problem here is that I want to get my music and photos. I'm only able to enter that factory reset screen and download mode. Can I "flash" twrp safely from download mode? Should I use Flash Tool 2014 and Normal flash(which says it keeps the data) a stock g2 rom? Can I mount my phone to the computer in download mode to copy my files? I want the most risk-free approach.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, first If you can enter download mode I think you can flash kdz (Kitkat) file to stock using Flash Tool 2014. But I had this problem once and the keep data flashing didn't work (stucked at 50%), I ended up flashed it with other option (erased all data).
2. You can try the "Factory reset" nice and easy.
I think you can't see files on the device unless you enter Twrp.
It's wise to backup your phone on the computer montly or so, thank you.
I went ahead and nuked my download mode using the SRK tools. Then got access to fastboot, through which I booted to twrp and then I could move my files. All's fine, flashed my ROM again and it's going better than ever.
Hey,
I have D802 16GB with pre-last CM version. Wanted to restart the phone (no mods nor installing apps before, just a normal restart) and the trouble started:
-it was stucking on LG logo and then screen turning off; sometimes it came to CM boot animation followed by turned off screen
-managed to boot the phone in safe mode in order to backup files from the phone, it freezed and turned off. Booted in safe mode few times again, the freeze was coming faster and faster
-once or twice phone booted up normally, freezed very soon
-booted to safe mode couple of more times. I noticed the phone was freezing shortly after releasing the volume buttons.
-booted up in normal mode, was holding the volume up button during the boot. The phone worked normally, after couple of mins released the volume button. Few mins after the phone freezed.
-LG logo was shown few more times out of dozens of attempts with different power button and volume buttons combinations
-LG logo showed for a short moment after pluging the charger
-now nothing happens at all, even when connected to charger or PC. The computer doesn't detect any device.
I really want to get the data that are in internal memory of the phone. What should I do? What happened with my phone?
Found this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
but will the internal memory data be affected? Moreover, there is written:
12 After attaching buttons plate,check your device going into download mode, and use flash tool to flash stock rom.

On the phone is CM which is not stock ROM, can I proceed?
Each advice will be much appreciated
Hi Guys,

1st day it was working. I plan to install Lineage or custom ROM today...thats when the issue start:
1: it wont go to recovery mode. Even thou I have rooted and install latest TWRP it will only boot to Hardware control key screen, only this screen and wont boot to the OS it will be stuck on LG logo forever....
2: tried to go to Download mode....the same It will go to the same hardware control key only....
3: when I plug in to my PC it wont turn off, keep on restarting after I press the power button for a while.... only if no cable connected I can totally turn it off...
For a noob like me....looks like my G2 D802 is brick :crying: ...any suggestion?
PS: windows detect it( As below picture ), off at all when I plug in AC.....It Will just show the LG logo and the LED just flashing non stop until I pull out the cable and turn it off...

He wipe and try to flash the rom in TWRP but.....it failed and suddenly just freeze and turn off the screen. Maybe bad ROM download or some step miss....so now the Phone has NO OS and would not boot to anything only the Hardware Key Management....that's all....help? Need the phone as 2nd phone for company lines....dont wanna take the iPhone 6 from my boss....
