Flash philz recovery..
In the power off options you have download mode
You can enter it from there
Edit : For using the Download Mode from TWRP, Press Reboot and then Download..

You must be using a wrong combination of keys while trying to boot into download mode
Ok for Now your recovery is working so you can adb push a custom rom from your pc to your mobile (given that you have cwm recovery installed) then just flash it
For adb to work you need correct drivers to be installed and maybe you will also need to manually update the driver through device manager

Thank You very much for the help. Im kind of new to ADB how ever I managed to learn how to use it. So I inastalled it and tried by plugging the devices but S4v device is not detected when the ADB Devices command given. I tried using S duos 2 and detects fine. Im so confused with this. Also didnt the part mannually updating drivers from Android SDK Manager.
Thank You again for the Help!

You can always use a recovery to get into the download mode.
Flash Stock rom..
Root your phone
Download quickboot from the play store/Wanam xposed.(for activating 4 way boot menu...
Get into Download mode from there..
Doesn't this work??

If you don't have downloade mode, then you probably got a clone.

Hi mate ,
If that is right and if what @Lennyz1988 said is not true you need a USB Jig or a Jtag to get into download mode

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.

Your screenshot above shows the device being recognized via adb in recovery. What permission problems?
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.

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?
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.

Kind of noob question. How you go in download mode. This is what I did to get in download mode. Turn off the phone and by holding power up button and same time pluging USB connected to computer. I booted into cyanogen recovery screen.
Am I doing right?
If not please let me know. Thanks for reply.

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.
Hi guys, I'm having a weird problem with my zenfone 5 (a501cg). I have searched a lot but still can't find out a proper solution So I post it here and try to provide as much information as possible so hopefully developers at xda can help me.
My phone is rooted and I'm currently using modded rom called "bazzrom pinaslang" in the forum. Recently I want to use another rom so I decide to use adb sideload again.
However, the problem occurs: using adb sideload only show "error" message". BUT Adb devices show the phone.
Then I decide to use adb reboot fastboot to enter fastboot. But the phone only show a usb icon, and using "fastboot devices" doesn't show the device anymore.
I try other way by enter recovery mode "adb reboot recovery". The phone show resting android with "no command" message. I also try hold power and press down volumn after that but nothing happend. I try anything with that "power" + "volumn" combo but nothing happend (or it just shutdowns the phone).
Also, using "power" + "up volumn" to enter Droid boot doesn't work.
Driver is install. In device manager it shows "Android composite adb interface".
The only good news is my phone still boots normally and I can use it. Please help me get back my fastboot so I can upgrade my phone to Lollipop and other modded ROM.
Thank you so much !!!!

UPDATE I decide to try xFSTK but my computer still recognizes the device as "adb..." . if I turn off developer mode it becomes "portable device" in Window Device Manager.
The xFSTK can't recognize any Cloverfieldplus. (it shows "CLOVERFIELDPLUS...: 0")

Hi,
Because the last resort will use a hardware function (xFSTK way) to update your dnx, ifwi and fastboot images. This way you can restore your fastboot.

Hi techgeard,
Looks like it's a driver timeout.
Which OS are you using? I see they used Windows 7 or before on the tests.
Also you should try getting xFSTK developers (on SourceForge) to help about this issue.
