[Q] stuck after downloading mode

while I had put my I9000 into downloading mode, accidently its battery dropped out, and now its just showing a pic of mobile ==/!\== computer.
I tried recovery mode by trying all combinations of UP+HOME+POWER and others but did not work.
Any solutions.
Am new to all this, so no idea what it would be. Initially I just wanted to check what downloading mode is and how it looks.
thanks

Dunno why your phone got softbricked..because it shouldn't do that if you weren't flashing anything

Can Heimdall help me out here?

Did you flash sth. While the battery dropped out??

Actually I was doing "Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery" from this link - __wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S:_Full_Update_Guide
and I was about to run "heimdall flash --kernel zImage"
I ran it too, but zImage was not at place, hence this did not complete saying so.
And after this battery dropped out slightly.
thanks

Use Heimdall

Corrupted internal sd? Search forum for a fix (dunno if that's your real problem). And also flash always with 3 files if using re-partition.

So if you are now able to enter download mode and PC detects your phone, I'd suggest flashing stock JVU. After that if everything is working again, flash ics or whatever you want

[Q] L01F no download mode, no usb reading.

Hello. Please help me. I have a Japanese version of G2 (L-01F - DoCoMo) and i tried to flash an european version of kitkat because i couldn't update in OTA. Now the phone is bricked, it is bootlooping, the Download Mode doesn't work, it shows a few of blue dots and it stays there (the phone can't be recognized on PC using the USB cable). I can enter the Recovery Mode (the grey screen with LG logo) where the phone can be read by PC and using ADB tool is shown as "recovery". I can't use fastboot.exe because the device is not being recognized. What can i do? Thank you very much.

Actually i'm trying to repair it since October 2014. No-one knows the solution. I went to 3 different GSM Services and they don't know what to do...
So...when i'm trying to put it in download mode it stays like this and the PC doesn't recognize it.
The only way to connect the phone to the computer is to put it in recovery mode (Backup & Restore) by holding Volume Up and Power Button at the same time with the phone turned off. It should appear something like this. The PC recognizes the phone but only in ADB. Look.
The third possible screen, which also is useless is this by typing in the CMD the following: "adb reboot recovery" (click). Here, the PC doesn't recognize the phone too.
Fastboot doesn't work.
And that's my problem. I don't know what to do.

If there are any custom roms that will run on your phone, adb push it to the sdcard and flash in TWRP.

help! my g2 only boots into fastboot

I was trying to install a custom recovery (twrp) by several different methods, with absolutely no luck (but that's another secondary issue at this point) and i screwed something up. Not exactly sure but i think the last thing I did was:
using "Rashr - Flash Tool" i think i went to "flash kernel from storage" then flashed boot.img.
now the phone goes immediately, directly into fastboot even without being connected to computer.
so i tried getting into the stock recovery by holding "volume down" and "power" until lg logo, releasing the reholding until factory reset screen. after choosing yes 2 times i get a
"boot certicification verify" or something message for about a second then it goes to this screen (sorry but apparently i haven't had enough posts on the forums to include clickable links.)

ok, i do have access to fastboot (actually, as soon as i power it on, it immediately is in foastboot mode, even without being connected to computer). i tried using srktool's repair tools via fastboot. it seems like it's working (ie phone shows that it receives command) but that's it. does it take a loooooong time or something?
btw, i can also get into download mode by holding "vol up" while plugging into computer. so, i tried using srktool utilites via download mode and nothing.
also, i just noticed that while connected to computer in download mode, in device manager it shows G2 under "portable devices" with an exclamation point on it.

I haven't taken the back off (yet) but all indications are that it's an AT&T (D800).

not sure what you mean by "lg mobile support tool". i googled it and found and installed "lg pc suite". is that the same thing?
nevermind that last question. i found and installed and tried the upgrade recovery tool but for some reason the phone wont go into download mode anymore. when i power it up whith ""vol +" help down, it shows download mode for a second, but then goes right into fastboot mode.

Is it recognized by the program in fastboot mode?
Here's the program I was referring to: http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support-mobile/lg-LGD803
Even though the program says it is for the 803, I used it to recover my international d802.

Thanks for the reply! But when I have phone connected to USB in fastboot, it shows up in device manager as "android device > USB modem phone port". Is that method the right fix for my situation?

ok, so likei said my phone is indeed in fastboot mode, connected to computer via usb (shows up in device manager as "android device > USB modem phone port". using srktool, i can send commands to the phone (command shows up on phone but thats it.....doesnt matter what command, it just sticks there until i unplug the phone then srktool shows the operation competed and phone shows

flash stock ROM via download mode or flash custom ROM via twrp.
the first choice (stock ROM) is better

thanks for the responses!!
before i saw your reply, i flashed the stock .tot firmware and now i have my phone back.
but, before all this started, it was lollipop(5.0.2) and now it's Jellybean(4.2.2). i bought phone on ebay, so im assuming that it got lollipop via an ota update. so now i'm looking into flashing it back to lollipop. what's the easiest method to install stock lollipop?

Bricked LG g2 d800 think soo

Hi guys,
I have LG G2 d800. try to restore back to jelly bean, and rooted the phone. meanwhile took the KK update and the problem starts from there. I read the forums about not taking the update once rooted. But I was too late for that. I read most the forums to fix but haven't found my problem fix.
here is the problem lies
I am on Cyanogen recovery on the screen. wipe out everything from the phone. even the cache partition.
My computer don't read the phone. adb is not working. tried to see the list of device on adb but shows unauthorized device.
only thing work sideload on adb. tried to install twrp recovery zip file or rom zip file. stuck on 47% . then it shows error.
I see there is a fix through twrp recovery. but my adb is not working. tried different drivers but wont give me dice.
any help on this highly appreciated. or you can guide me for that.
thanks in advance.

Here's what I did:
I grabbed SRKTool and nuked my download mode. Then when attempting to enter download mode I was instead kicked into fastboot. From there I flashed stock partition images, rebooted into download mode, and then was able to flash a stock kdz/tot with the LG software.
All data lost, but phone was unbricked. All of this software was run inside a virtual machine on a Linux or OSX box as well.

I downloaded the srktool2.1 but the problem is, it waiting to connect the device. my phone is cwm recovery screen but guess phone is not talking to the computer. so as I mentioned no adb connection.
anyother way to get back in life.

I believe in SRK Tool you can nuke download mode two ways. One of which is while in download mode itself. Try entering download mode and selecting the proper option. Sometimes an unplug/replug is needed to get the phone recognized.

I did try. My phone is on Cyanogen screen. Try to plug and unplug but nothing happens. Tried SDK tool and tried to side load cm12 Rom but gets error after 47%. Don't know what to do.
In SRK tool after choosing options it stays on waiting for device. Nothing happen
s after that. Even plug n unplug.

Reboot into download mode. I believe you can also do it via adb with SRK Tool, but that is not what I did. There are two ways to build your download mode with SRK Tool. One of them is used when you are connected via download mode. That is the path I took.

My problem is, Phone is not talking with computer. I have started adb server and type adb devices and it came up with 09oikjn76568 unauthorized.
I believe my phone is not talking adb commands via computer. I have read here in some forum, your phone has to be on debugging. but in that case I my phone doesn't go beyond CYANOGEN RECOVERY.
Thanks for reply. If you have any other suggestion please let me know.

If you reboot into download mode you will bypass the debugging need.

Make sure the phone is off. Then, while holding the Volume-Up button, plug your phone into the usb cable.

That's exactly what I did but it boots back to cyanogen recovery.

Do you mean TWRP recovery? Make sure you are not pressing the power button when you are hold the up volume button ....... It should go immediately to download mode when you connect it via usb if your download mode isnt nuked ........ then u can flash back to stock using TOT method.

You are in Diagnostics mode, it's pretty useless, you need to enter in EDL Mode and try a flash with MiFlashTool
Use "fastboot oem edl"
I don't know if your phone can receive fastboot commands in Diagnostics, just try...

Can you please elaborate what have you done prior to the device brick? An informative answer requires an informative question.

What about keeping power and volume +/- pressed together for at least 10 seconds?
Too, connect the charger, maybe the battery is drained.
At least try these simple things before moving to complicated ones.

Another thing to try is this, connect your phone with your computer and run

You will not see anything in your phone, just black screen.
Open miflash tool and hit refresh. See if it recognizes the phone.

At least mi flash is recognizing the phone.
You can try with a different firmware, try with android 7 firmware.
P.s. now that I see better your phone is recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E, it should be 9008
You should try to find the correct Qualcomm drivers...
I'm sorry you have to go through this.
