Whenever you get the Phone/Computer logo, pull the battery, then hold 1 and power on. It should go back to download mode. It has happened to me lots of times due to Odin failing to flash (I usually have to rotate pit's before Odin finally flashes for me).

tried that but still no luck... should i reset my desktop?

it worked!!!!
thank you both very much!!!!

Zomg its not bricked........
Bricked = doesnt turn on to anything!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bricked != download mode

it was stuck on one spot and only went to download mode... that is being bricked right?

No. Being bricked is when it wont even enter download mode, and there is no way get it back. If it will get into download mode, you can Odin it back to stock, and so it is NOT bricked. It is VERY hard to really brick this phone.

The term bricked gets thrown around a lot, but when something is bricked it means you can't use it for anything other than a brick. Unless you royally mess something up you should always be able to hold down the number 1 and power to get to download mode.
Now if you can't get your computer to recognize your phone for what ever reason that is another story. That is usually just an issue with you not having your drivers properly installed.

Officially bricked means "up the creek without a paddle" or in other words, you made a 250-600$ mistake. It is when you get absolutely no reaction from the phone or that no one has ever been able to bring the phone out of that specific state back into working order.
If you get the phone working using the tutorial "How to fix my bricked Epic" then it really wasn't "bricked" in the first place. Glad to hear you got it back.
...also I am very proud of the epic forum goers for not completely murdering this guy for this post..

lol sorry guys but thanks again!!!

No problem. Have fun flashing your phone

Lg g2 stuck in boot loop, vzw i have tried everything need serious help!!!!!!!!!!!

Been running pac rom, tried installing a custom ROM that was almost stock kitkat for Verizon. Forgot to wipe i think, and now i have been screwed since. Stuck in boot loop. Factory reset can be reached, but screen goes black everytime and doesnt allow me to get into TWRP. Only thing accessiable is download mode. But device is not recongized in adb, only when its bootlooping. But it is recognized in devices and printers in bootloop. New computer also, no RSA authentication, while in bootloop ive tried to adb boot recovery commands, but no authorization. Im completly stuck and have been for days, ive read so many posts but everything i have found doesnt match all my problems. and most people dont read the entire post or problem before submitting a dumb answer, which is a duh i tried that kind of thing thanks for nothing. SO PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE. IM GOING CRAZY OVER HERE AND LOOSING MY MIND> WHO EVER CAN HELP ME, IS GOD AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TOP DOG GENIOUS>

[Q] KDZ Flash issues

Hello everyone,
So I basically made a noob mistake. I had a custom recovery installed on my d802 and I opted to update the software via the LG apps. Now I am stuck at the LG logo on start-up. Normally this wouldn't bother me so much, but the problem is when I try to flash the original firmware with the flash tool. I have looked everywhere and haven't found a proper answer (forgive me if I missed a thread).
The problem is that I get an error saying your phone is disconnected when I'm pretty sure its not, and the phone screen displays "fastboot: processing commands". I have tried a different usb cable, a different pc with different version of windows. But unlucky so far.
Apart from this though, I was wondering if I could flash the Italy lollipop KDZ? I am in Germany and since I have the same model number (D802) I might as well give it a try. What are your thoughts?
Any help from you guys is highly appreciated.

Hi!
Yes, I'm pretty sure you can flash the Italy .kdz, 'cause it's correspond, basically, to the open version. I think there is some bloatwares, but they can be remove by root. you can even flash the spanish .kdz, but there is vodafone's bloatwares inside.
But if you're stuck in fastboot, I don't know if you can access to download mode. Can you describe actual state or your phone? Do you have access to recovery? Download Mode? Can you boot?

Whenever I try to move into download mode it automatically takes me to fastboot. I cant access recovery or hard reset. But yes the lg logo does come up and thats all, it evens goes as far as the second time the logo comes up and the leds come on. But thats about it. It shows download mode for a little while and then automatically goes into fastboot.
Thats all I have right now.

Well this is not pretty. I just realised my phone isn't getting into download mode. I was under the impression that getting into fastboot when connecting phone to pc is the normal case for everyone. But im supposed to get into download mode rather than fastboot, eh?
Now i'm really out of clues. Appreciate your help devs!

LG K8 K350NDS fully bricked

Hello,
I have followed the instructions on XDA to root this phone.
After attempting to use APPS2SD, the phone got bricked.
No ADB, No Download Mode.
When you turn it on, it shows "device corrupt", and keeps rebooting.
I am pretty new at this.
I am asking your help to fix my phone.
I have read that I must use "SP FlashTool".
So I downloaded the KDZ and extracted some files.
But I believe I need a scatter file.
What should I do ?
Can you please give me the scatter file ?
Thank you.

well... if you really don't have download mode then you're screwed. However i can't imagine what app2sd could do with your download mode since it's on a hidden partition...

man, that just happened to me a week ago. the same problem, the same phone, the same model, and that was after rooting and try to reboot in download mode.
I'M WARNING YOU!!!!! ALL YOUR DATA WILL BE DELETED WITH THIS PROCESS BUT ITS THE ONLY WAY TO UNBRICK YOUR PHONE!!!!
1-turn off your phone, press the VOLUME UP button and keep pressing without press any other button, just VOL UP.
2-pressing the VOL UP button plug your phone to the PC and open the LG BRIDGE software. (http://www.lg.com/es/posventa/software-y-drivers?search=LGK350N-Negro&pageVisibleFlag=2)
3-the LG BRIDGE software will automatically recognise your phone in "firmware mode" and detect there is a problem with your ROM. It will download the entire firmware again and will install it in your phone.
that works for me a week ago as a said...so, let me know how it works for you!!!
Good luck man!!!
(sorry for my english, i am practicing).

Problem solved
Thank you very much !
Raul's solution worked for me.
It took me a lot of time before being able to perform the repair, because, it was being held in a shop, by a guy who hated me, for more than a month -_- .
So, I did what Raul suggested, it brought me to a white screen asking for a password, and offering 30 attempts.
I waited for a few days as advised elsewhere, but without success.
I then did a hard reset, I believe by pressing Vol Down + Off, as suggested in another post.
Now my phone is working again. It is a great relief ! Thank you !!

I wonder:
-Which is your phone model, as stated on the back of the phone?
-Which is the file that you used to downgrade?
-Which stock rom did you try to flash?
The fix is pretty simple but seeing how you borked three simple procedures I'd like to know everything and lay it out for you precisely. You have to have done something horribly wrong to softbrick a phone with the stock updater system...

Okay at first my phone model on the back of my device is, as i mentioned before, "zte a2017g" thats the european version of this phone, chinese is "a2017" and the us version is "2017u".
The file i used 2 downgrade was the stock rom from the official website of zte
it was the full edl file buildnumber b10.
and again i once sofbricked it, i know how 2 fix that, but now it hard bricked, well i think so at least, i cant get it to boot into bootloader, recovery or anything, when i hold the power button it shakes the device, and it shows the zte logo for about 2 seconds then it disappears, and nothing happens but my computer does recognize it as a connected device but i cant use miflash of something else because those programs dont see it.

all right. it's still freaking weird. Use my DFU unbrick guide but only do step 4 and 5 (but use the files on the top anyways)(you just have to hold Vol+ and Vol - and insert the cable instead of taking the phone apart and shorting pins). After that check the driver, if it is still Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 then flash with MiFlash, if not, tell me what appears

Send me a screenshot of the device manager, i can do very little with "yellow triangle"

Don't bother? That guy is using XDA as a free emergency support without looking for one second.
He probably would like you to do a teamviewer while he's watching football with a beer and not even say thank you.
I'm horrified.

Sorry, I don't believe you for one second. Like litterally THOUSANDS of people here and here opening "bricked plz hlp" threads, you didn't even have the BASIC, LOWEST courtesy of writing more than 10 words of gibberish whining about your situation, without a single usefull element of context.
Proof of that in the NUMEROUS questions asked about ELEMENTARY elements about your situation. You're litterally the kind of person that would go to a car mechanic, drop the keys on the counter saying "my car is broken, fix it" and just leave without a single word added. That's RUDE and, yeah, I'm tired AF of people like you who can't READ THE DAMN XDA RULES and got NOT education whatsoever.
Nd writng frm a phone in T9 mde dsnt rlly bring nythng mre on the tble either.
Too bad you found somebody to help, as it's only encouraging that kind of behaviour.

Okay, let's try two things:
First right click on it and uninstall the device, also delete driver software for the device (it will be a checkbix asking for that after you hit 'uninstall device'). After that, hold Volume up, Volume down, and Power until the Device manager refreshes. After that the driver should reinstall itself. If it still shows with the yellow triangle, right click it, click on Properties, and send me a screenshot (or translate me what it says on the status part)
