download mode - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im having a really hard time getting my LG to download mode. I have the verizon version and I am pressing volume up while trying to reboot and plugged usb in at the same time. I followed the steps in the thread to restore back to stock. I am even trying my roms extended reboot which is malladus rom but instead of rebooting to download mode, it keeps rebooting the phone.

If you're able to do so, you could use the app called Rebooter. Gives you options to reboot into several modes.

Try turning the phone off. If you can do that hold the vol+ button then plug in the usb. Will boot to download mode. If you cannot power off completely, leave the usb plugged into the phone and computer, power off, and as soon as you feel the haptic feedback from the reboot immediately hold the vol+ button. I had a bootloop and that's what I had to do to get into download mode to relfash stock.

Hold the volume up AND down button down along with the power button till the vibrant screen flashes once. the let go of the power button but keep holding the volume up AND down button untill it goes to the download screen
I just spent the afternoon recovering my phone after the OTA update.
I was able to get into download mode using the following:
With the phone powered off hold BOTH volume keys while simultaneously plugging the USB cable(that is already attached to your pc) into the phone.
Worked every time for me. Hope this helps.
Hi I have tried that and other buttons combination for the past 30 mins and found nothing. I have read into that any vibrant from the batch in august have been disabled for the download mode, is this true?
Pull the battery out first.
plug in usb
hold up, down and power buttons
reinsert battery with free hand.

That's how it works for me.
If I hold the power button while doing the above I only go into recovery mode.
i'm starting to get worry because i tried everything and nothing is happening. it is as if my phone has disable the recovery mode.
The volume up/down button thing never worked for me either. For me, the only thing that works is adb (the android debug bridge). Download/install the samsung drivers, and the android SDK (see messages on this board for links & instructions).
On the phone go to Settings -> Applications -> Development and check the USB Debugging box. Connect your phone to your computer via the USB cable, open a command prompt & type 'adb devices' w/out the quotes. You should get one listed device if you've done the above correctly. Then type 'adb reboot download' to put your phone into download mode.

Bricked my device?

Ok so here is what happened, I had 4.3 stock on, I wanted to install CM10, so I used Wugtoolkit to root, which I probably shouldn't have, anyway it went to reboot to fast mode and thats the last I seen of my N4,
Holding power does nothing, when I connect it to the computer the charging indicator comes up but the computer makes so connection sound. HELP
Can you get into the bootloader (volume down+power)?

When the charging indicator comes up, try holding down only the volume down button (without holding power button). With luck this will allow you to access fastboot mode, and recovery from there.

I do not follow any tutorial, i'm already used to change the rom through cwm, wipes, install zip from SD through and wipes again.
But now not open the cwm, is black screen and reboots to normal mode. I do not understand what is happening. :x

I dont now if this help, but only way that works for me to get into recovery, is holding both, vol+ and vol- keys, while presing home, and power button, when the phone vibrates, release power button, but keep holding vol+, vol- and home button for about 2 seconds, then release everything....
phone should boot into recovery now...

yes, I also used this combination of keys to enter the recovery once but now does not work, call a black screen and does not vibrate.
By KDZ also can not do anything because they also do not enter the emergency mode or in "pc suite".
Not even know how to solve this problem: x
And the worst is that I need the smartphone

How do you enter in emergency mode?
I do it by taking the battery off, then conect the cable to phone, hold vol+ (or vol-, i dont remember) and then conect the cable to the pc

Final solution is emergency or download mode. if u can not enter it, u shoud take it to service center as soon as possible

Download mode stuck

Hope someone can help. When I try to go into download mode (Volume Up + usb cable), it gets stuck in "Keep pressing the volume up button until download mode appears". Anyone knows a solution?

Hey man. Are you able to boot in TWRP? If you are, try this: Wait for TWRP to boot up, press Reboot button and choose Download (But make sure to be connected to your PC with a USB cable before clicking on Download button) and tell me if it works for you.
Edit: Actually, can you also just try holding VOLUME UP button for a bit longer? Just keep holding the button until "Firmware Update" screen appears, I think it should work for you.

Unfortunately it didn't work... I held the button for about 3 min and nothing.
Then I tried using TWRP, I can go into the TWRP, but when I connect the cable and press the download mode it just reboots normally. Don't know what else to try. Tried restoring the stock backup I made, but even after that It does not go into download mode...

I don't think so.No matter how greedy or paranoid a developer is they have to include a recovery mode in order to flash OTAs and do stuff when the phone is offline.

I got the clue, you have to do it twice !
Take a look at this tutorial Nokia 6 fix no command
First, you have to plug in a usb cable (of a charger) to the phone and quickly press Vol + and power button to get into the Download mode. Then again press Vol + and power button AND (most important all) press the HOME button, then you will get the Recovery menu !
Hi Blerg,
No home button on the phone.
