Hey,
I hard bricked my phone, the one where you connect to the PC 15 or so drives open up (no download mode, no recovery and no fastboot) and then managed to fix it (VIA SRK Tool which flashed a stock recovery instead of a custom one) and got download mode back.
KDZ Method isn't working, it keeps saying I need to restart my device 2%.
So is there any way of flashing the TWRP recovery through the download mode or at the very least any way to extract my data (only a few folders) through the download mode?
I don't know why but no one seems to notice this thread
Thanks a lot, any help will be much appreciated.
PS: Please ask if any further information is required
(I have a D801, I can get to download mode, factory reset screen and LG logo which then leads to the "Security error" coz there is no firmware in the phone.)

I recently got an lg g2 and rooted it, but it would never boot into recovery mode correctly. Well one night i was trying different chargers because it kept saying it was charging and would vibrate and say it was charging again, i woke up and the screen was lit but wasnt booting. I tried to restart it, no affect, tried to recover it, when it does this it goes into the blank screen again and does nothing, it also wont go into download mode. when plugging into the computer around 15 drives pop up and say they need formatting and it says that is is some qual disk drive and wont install any drivers. tried adb and the phone isnt recognized. am I SOL? What else can i try. One disk drive mounts and has a folder named image.
Short version
-wont boot
-no download mode
-recovery does nothing
-computer does not recognize as phone
-comes up with 15 disk drives that needs to be formatted
-one has a folder named image with stuff in it
-adb wont recognize phone
-tried the lg recovery tool and b/c no download mode it will not read the phone (tried to force install the drivers of the phone to see if it would work to no prevail)

Why not just go back to STOCK?
-for download mode, dont try to BOOT into download mode. Use the method of holding VOL UP while plugging in USB when the Flashtools are ready to go with the TOT and DLL files.

Did this already, didn't repair it, said device does not have enough space during the last step. it allowed it to go into download mode for a second, but will not stay in it.
Solved my problem, will post a guide for others this weekend with the same issue.

Don't know if it's of any help but check out my post on fixing a hard bricked g2 had a similar problem an was able to get it fxed
Hi guys,
Long-time phone rooter/XDA reader, first time posting.
It seems I have finally come across a problem I can't fix by insane amounts of googling and trial&error.
I am currently on some Kitkat custom ROM variant with CWM 6.0.4.4
I'm looking to get back to stock, but my download mode refuses to open. Its stuck at the blue dots screen. (attached picture for clarity)
I've let it sit there overnight, with no change.
I've attempted to use the LGMobile Tool (even this method), but when it reboots my phone, the phone sits on the "LG" screen, and the LG tool eventually errors out ("communication error").
Recently, I managed to back myself into a corner after (incredibly idiotically) accepting an OWA, when my recovery was corrupt, and my download mode would not even open then - and i had to use some bizarre method of commands in Linux to be able to get TWRP on, then flashed CWM and them my ROM.
So what can I do now? I'm assuming my download mode is corrupt - is there a way to flash a good download mode onto the phone?
Any thoughts/input greatly appreciated.
edit:
Ok looks like I have understimated myself.
I used THIS tool to extract my KDZ, to get the LAF file (then renamed it to laf.img)
I then used the instructions from HERE to flash to the correct place.
It did not reboot into download like the thread said it would, but I did a manual download mode entry (while off, hold Volume Up + insert USB) and viola!
I am now currently using the LGMobile tool to go back to stock

Hey thanks for the post. My download mode will not go past the 5 blue dots screen. I am trying to return to stock but I get the same download mode error. I am rooted and have TWRP installed. This download mode error has happened before. I fixed it by flashing CM and then going into download mode and it worked! But my TWRP is getting an error when installing any rom. It fails and installation and says error executing updater binary. I just need to fix download mode or TWRP. Any help would be great.
Did you already have recovery installed when you were stuck at the 5 dots download mode screen?

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
Hello!
On my LG Leon 4G LTE H340n there is a problem with booting, it stuckts at LG booting logo. When I try to put it in download mode (volume up and connect usb) it displays security booting error and then black screen showing only.
So I can't get it into download mode, can't boot it, and I tried putting it in fastboot (with volume down and connect usb), but that fastboot mode doesn't really work it gives failed command not found on every command.
So how is it possible to reflash the stock recovery (to allow download mode) and then the ROM?
I already have the needed .img files (laf.img, recovery.img, etc..)
I read on other threads that it is possible to write those img files to the correct partition but you need to short testpoint. So how to do this on this phone?
Thanks in advance!
To me the time that I came out this error was installing a Custom Recovery and could not fix it I had to send it to sat and I made a change of motherboard do not know if there will be someone alla able to fix it but I think since you can not access the fastboot or the dowloads mode. Sorry for my English but this translated with google translator
I never need to enter into download mode in my lgms345 to flash a kdz file and all occurred fine!
Lg flash tool put the phone automatically into download mode but your phone need to. Stay connected to your PC
Hey,
I hard bricked my phone (no download mode, no recovery and no fastboot) and then managed to fix it (VIA SRK Tool) and got download mode back.
Now I need to install a recovery, and I cant go and manually check if the TWRP recovery is already installed or not, because if I do go to check and the recovery is not there then the phone will factory reset (and I'll lose all my data).
KDZ Method isn't working, it keeps saying I need to restart my device at 23% (same on two different PCs).
So is there any way of flashing the TWRP recovery through the download mode?
Thanks a lot
