Try a factory reset. The procedure is in the phone manual. Something like phone off then power and vol. Down at same time then some other things after that. Heard it works for those who royally screw the pooch.

Try IOmonster's method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
It might just work.
EDIT: actually since you can't get into recovery try a different button combo. Some people say pressing all 3 keys at once works, some say just vol down + power.
Are you sure you had enough battery before flashing TWRP?

I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670

I don't have a G2, but could you use a Factory cable, which also supplies power and puts the device in Fastboot mode.
As I say, just passing through, so don't know if this is a real option.

I had an issue getting into download mode while bootlooping on an older recovery. U could try leaving phone plugged into computer, repower, then try getting into download mode. Worked for me.

This is a scarry thread!
Any updates?

when I plug the phone to the PC it recognize it as hard drives (more than 10 hard drives with small sizes from 32 meg to 10 meg ) most of them can not be accessed or protected .
than it all I got now

I did the same thing 2 nights ago. I used flashify to flash TWRP but flashed it as boot file causing it to boot loop into recovery. I had to power the phone off through the TWRP interface. Then, with the phone unplugged and off , I held the volume up button for about 3 seconds before inserting the micro usb cable. Keep holding the volume up button until the phone displays download mode. If your laptop still does not recognize your device, make sure you have the correct drivers installed and verify again. Once you are in download mode and your drivers are installed, you can follow the steps in this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 post to get your phone back to stock. Worked for me and I thought my phone was donezo. Also, I installed cleanrom after I finished the above process and am loving it. Hope that helps you out mate!

check your power button isnt stuck or faulty - try pulling it out or you might have to get a new power button if phone keeps turning itself off

power button is ok, but.. after flash my phone turn only recovery mode (and also unexpectedly turned off)

Try This method
remove battery from phone and connect to pc
(when battery removed your phone got power through data cable connected to pc)
than press three button together VOLUME DOWN BUTTON+POWER BUTTON+MENU BUTTON
when you see odin mode, insert the battery and flash stock firmware and complete the whole processs
you must have your phone driver installed so pc recognized you phone

[Q] Phone is bricked help...

Hi everyone. I tried to downgrade from kitkat on my lg g2 d800 and I followed the guide and downloaded the necessary files but now my phone wont boot and windows can't detect it. I can't get into fastboot...please help

I think you just need to do a hard reset. Unless something went wrong during the flash?

Downgrading requires a factory reset. Power off the phone, press volume down and power button until the LG logo appears then press power again. Should take you to factory reset mode.
Otherwise you can flash KK again using the kdz from download mode (plug to your computer whilst holding volume up I believe)

Pleast try to reboot the phone(if not, just take out the battery.)

Thank you everyone. Something did go wrong during the flash...it just stopped abruptly at 12 percent. I tried doing a hard reset by holding the volume down and then letting go when the logo appeared and then pressing the buttons again. It says resetting in progress but then shuts off.

I think something did go wrong because I can no longer access fastboot by pressing the power button and holding +. Holding the power button and the volume - key and then letting go and pressing them again when the lg logo comes up again, brings up the hard reset menu. But when I confirm the reset the phone shuts off...

Don't know if you have experience with Ubuntu. But its easy to install and the process is easier than it looks.
Check if your phone has some if these symptoms. And please note that you CAN'T use the files provided in the OP. You need the files for D800.

Unplug your device, run the following command and plug the device back in (maybe you have to execute the command again):
dmesg -c
This should show you all USB system events. Your phone should show up as /dev/s<omething>.
However, the phone needs to be powered on. If it shut's itself off, Linux probably can't connect to it ...

I had this when running TWRP and if I remember you hold the "off" button down until it starts to reboot and then quickly hold the up button while it's rebooting.
You may be able to just hold the start and up button at the same time then turn the start button loose when you see the logo.
Again; I can't remember exactly what I did but it's safe to say to device is not broken.
One note: I was never able to get TWRP to run correctly (consistently) on this device without at least some issues.
I use CMR with no problems.
Also when I had this problem i had to do a complete wipe to get completely into download mode...
Good luck...

That's correct! it will auto restart so you have to get your timing right. Try holding down the start button and as soon as the screen goes blank release the start button and grab the up button..

I think I hard bricked my 727

I've had my US model 727 Pro 3 for a month or so, and all was pretty good. I got the bootloader unlocked, rooted it, but was having trouble with the filesystem remaining read only, so I couldn't make build.prop edits and xposed showed that it was running, but the modules weren't doing anything. So, I finally figured I'd start over from scratch, wiped everything using the AIO toolkit, and flashed TWRP again. Now my phone won't boot up at all. No vibrations, nothing but a black screen whether I try holding just the power button, power plus volume up, down, or both up and down. Any suggestions, or am I just SOL?

Have you tried adb? I'm assuming you have. That's why I don't trust the toolkit I prefer to manually flash things.

I used adb/fastboot to manually flash TWRP, then the device went dead when I tried to reboot from fastboot into TWRP. I can't get it to power on at all now. I tried following steps I found in a thread on fixing a hard brick with the Qualcomm QIF tool, and it seemed to recognize the phone, but still didn't get it to boot.

Sometimes mine gets in a mode where I have to hold down the power button for a real long time (45 seconds or so). Give it a try.

Did you flash the correct twrp?

It was fully charged when this started, and when I plug it in now, there's no LED indicator or on-screen battery display to show that it's charging.

I've tried holding it for a long time (haven't timed it, but I think for around a minute). I'll try even longer and see what happens.

Yep. Same version that had worked for me previously. I assume that if it was just a bad flash, that I'd be able to get into fastboot mode, but that's not working, either.

Do you get any qualcom diagnostics port when connected to computer?

If you hold power and volume down you can't get into fastboot?

I was able to connect to it via the Qualcomm software, but wasn't able to get it to power up after flashing the "hard brick fix" files I found in a Qualcomm brick fix post. I may try this again a bit more meticulously before trying to send the device back.

Nope. No response whatever from any combination of the physical buttons, no matter how long they're held down.

Tried that. Tried holding down power for over a minute, tried holding power + volume down for a minute, tried power + volume up for a minute, even tried holding all three down for at least 30 seconds. Nothing. The only indication I get that the device isn't completely fried is when I plug it into the myth desktop while running the Qualcomm diagnostic software, but I can't get it to boot up with that program, either.

I have the same issue. My Le Pro 3 died using Open Camera, taking pictures. It does not power on, does not respond to anything, no key combinations work, no charging progress, nothing, looks dead.
