[Q] Stuck on Fastboot (Unable to go to download mode)

I have an LG G2 AT&T D800.
After I rooted my phone successfully, I also flash a custom recovery successfully.
After I did that, I wipe out my data / cache.
And i tried to install a ROM and Google Apps.
I rebooted my phone and I'm stuck with " Fast boot mode started "
I had download mode working but i accidentally made it stop working after i did CMS88168 steps from this page.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595
Now I don't have my download mode starting to work and I have no clue on how to fix my phone.
Please help.

Look here
It's for the F320 variants but there is also a link to search for other variant files.

Also just in case you are unable to do what phoost suggested, what i did was keep tr ying to get into recovery, the lg logo would blink fast, but you just have to keep tr ying, and i finally got it and reflashed my rom and its been fine ever since...i did get scared tho, but my g2 is only 4 days old right now, so i can always return and get another, but just do what i said

help

i got the same problem here when flashing the slimkat.
fastboot is like adb sideload.
when you see the usb command, you need to plug the phone to the PC to sync them.

This happened to me a while back the link in post two is how I solved it. You just need to find the laf.img for your model, put it in the same folder as adb and run the adb commands in the tutorial. You might have to change the directory in cmd prompt to where adb is located. Once the laf is successfully flashed you can boot into download mode and flash the kdz for your model.

I tried this but it starts download mode but then goes to fastboot. I was trying to keep download mode. I used the laf.img in the the link you posted. I'm on verizon lg g2 is that the right laf.img?
***Got it thanks***

In the link above that is for the Korean g2 I believe. If I remember correctly there's a link to other img files in his thread. You might also consider flashing the proper boot.img as well. It was a while ago that this happened so I don't recall exactly but if you flash the Verizon boot.img and laf.img you should be good.

ATT D800 Fastboot Loop No Recovery No Download Mode

Hello All,
I've been searching for hours. I had rooted my LG G2 weeks ago with no problems. I then un-rooted it and I thought reset it to factory. Today in Target I pulled it out of my pocket to make a call and it was black screened to Fastboot.
I have tried holding down Volume - and Power and entering recovery to reset to factory but it immediately goes to Fastboot loop.
I have tried holding down Volume + while plugging in USB for Download Mode but it immediately goes to Fastboot loop.
I have tried adb commands, error: device not found.
I have tried manually updating the Android drivers through Computer Management and selecting many of the Android Platform Sooner versions. My Win7 PC recognizes the phone as ADB Interface > Andriod Sooner Single ADB Interface in Device Manager.
I have tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595 and flashed both laf.img and I cannot get into Download Mode.
What else can I do? Does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks for your time!

hey same exact thing just happened to me. i had it rooted from earlier, but ended up keeping the stock rom on my AT&T LG G2 D800. What I think happened was ATT just pushed out an OTA update (not sure about other carriers), supposedly some small 15mb update to prepare for upcoming releases and despite declining the install, the phone of course did it anyways.
No recovery, no download mode, factory reset doesn't do anything.
Thanks AT&T! :good:
Are we completely boned here?

Follow this thread, I tried the TWRP terminal code and it worked. Let me know how it goes

Did anyone figure this out? I am stuck in fastboot mode. I can run fastboot commands, but thats about it.
I can't get to ADB, I can't get to recovery, I can't get to download mode. I reboot the phone and it goes immediately back to fastboot.
I've tried flashing recovery, the laf.img, and even rom's inside fastboot and nothing is seeming to work.

If you can't get adb access with either single sooner or pdanet drivers, you may have to resort to this..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
(actually kind of sounds like fun to me)

if you're stuck in fastboot mode then you can simply use the fastboot commands to write the aboot, sbl1, boot, recovery, laf, rpm, tz and dbi partitions.
you can substitute stock recovery.img for a properly patched twrp/cwm img (renamed recovery). from there you should be able to boot into download mode... custom recovery.. or boot back up.

I found a site that had the backed up D800 .img files. I had to use Ubuntu to write them back to my device.. after like 15hrs of googling/writing on forums, I finally got my device to boot back up! lol..
of course there was a popup saying that my device was suspected of rooting and it won't update.. but who cares, it works now!

im onthe verizon variant and stuff like this just annoys me to no end you say no lg pushes it to your device anyway its wrong not even samsung stoops this low i am glad i have a custom rom

Sorry for comment this old post, but i need help with my D800 y cant unbrick it

Keep trying flashing the D800 file or what?

Hello friends to see if I draw from this setback. My situation is that I have no recovery or download, but when trying to get the img fastboot does not exceed by "erasing" or "writing" who knows how to solve this please !!
Thank you :good:

I softbricked my LS980 and cannot escape fastboot. Assistance Requested.

Had a problem with audio playback (volume always high no matter what). Decide to flash. PAC for my Sprint LS980. I see this:
Seems to be a lot of confusion so I'll clear things up..
ZV7->ZV8->ZVA is how the ota history goes, with ZVB on the way.
If you're on stock ZVA, your aboot (bootloader) may not be downgraded, in that case, use FreeGee from Play Store to install a recovery, it will automatically downgrade your aboot.
if you have the ZVA Radio, just flash furnace or dr87's kernel after you flash an AOSP ROM, all done.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Sorce: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2669074
Seeing the last sentance, I think that if I flash ZVA Radio, SlimKat ROM (the one that causes me problems) and then dr87's kernel I could try a ZVA experience. I flashed SlimKat again becuase I was going to change anyway, I wanted to try it with ZVA.
Tell myself why not, I do it.
Fails but I didnt pay much attention. I reboot.
Stuck in fastboot mode and cant escape. Recovery is a no-go.
Tried flashing both ZV7aboot.img and twrp2.6.3.0.img into their appropriate partitions (boot and recovery).
Still having problems, but now I cant do any button combination (except DownloadMode. Cant turn off) after ZV7aboot.img flash.
I dont want to erase my memory (~26GB of valuable data). Is there a way to flash a ZV8Radio.zip from fastboot? I think thats my problem, but Im not too sure. Just access to recovery would allow my to fix my problems.
Thanks anyone for any help! I think I really screwed myself over this time. Thanks everyone!
Edit: Anyone know where to get a boot.img and system.img for the Sprint LS980?

zv7_aboot.img isn't a boot.img, it's the bootloader. Use FreeGee to install twrp, it will handle the aboot for you. Then you can take advantage of the last sentence.

I am stuck in fastboot. No recovery. Download mode is also accessable.
Which of the following would help:
* System.img and Boot.img (where to find em?)
* A kernel .img (Do they exist?)
* Flashing the ZV7 or 8 aboot.img oncemore with twrp.img again?
Thanks for coming to help! It means a lot.

If you can boot into a rom, use FreeGee to install twrp. If you can't boot into rom and recovery, you need to flashtool.

Flashtools is asking for login and password. ?
Does this mean I have to wipe all user data in order to use it?
Edit: Do you know where System.img and Boot.img could be downloaded? I think its my only hope.

Thanks for the link! That was extremely helpful.
What I did to gain access to twrp again was:
Download boot.img from the link.
Download aboot.img from link.
Download twrp.img (but this isnt necessary, file is already available on phone. No need.)
* Enter command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
* (If you hold power it starts showing LG Logo.)
* Go back to Fastboot. Enter command 'fastboot flash aboot aboot.img'
* Now TWRP access is regained! Phone doesnt boot normally, must flash ROM and stuff again.
Thanks a lot! This was an okay first fastboot experience.

Soft Bricked Sprint LS980?
Hello, I'm having a similar problem. I haven't had a phone for a couple years since tinkering with my Evo and thought I still knew what I was doing with my new G2. That proved to be incorrect.
I had it semi rooted. (I followed the instructions using Ioroot and Kingo) I wasn't able to change APN and use GSM for Metro PCS
After reading up about the spark patch I followed a tutorial (not very well obviously) and managed to get the phone will it will no longer boot.
I can get it into bootloader, and a frozen in download mode. otherwise it just hangs at the LG logo.
Is there a way to recover from bootloader?
I copied twrp-2.6.3.2-g2spr.img and zv7-aboot.img to the phone and did the following.
Here are the commands I used with the guide. I looks like I was using 2 different guides at once..... :/

with phone still plugged in run kingo and root it
it will reboot
with phone plugged in run "adb usb" from command prompt on pc (from the link for adb that it installed, it will open a command prompt for you in the proper folder when you click it)

then run "adb shell" from command prompt on pc

I use goo manager from play store to boot into recovery, I dont even know the key combo for it yet.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Alright, sorry to comment on something 3 months old, but I just had this problem and managed to solve it.
When in the mode described above, you are still able to use Fastboot. Get a linux computer and install fastboot.
Then, go here: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware/zvc_partitions
Download the images for laf, aboot, boot, and recovery.
type the following commands in fastboot:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img
fastboot flash aboot 4-aboot.img
fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img
fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img
fastboot reboot
This fixed the problem for me. Good luck!

Sorry for not replying, but I see you managed to fix your problem. All you needed to do was download .img files, then enter commands through fastboot. Although it is slightly more complicated than that, its the rough outline of what needs to be done to fix it. Nice work fixing your problem. I came back to this thread to remind myself of the commands that need to be entered (My comments help myself).
I think I am just going to copy-paste the quoted box above if anyone needs instructions how to do this. Thanks for the quick guide I can use to help others!

bricked , simple fix?

this process (which i got from a different thread originally)
bricked my phone Lg G2 (Ls 980 sprint 32 gb)
i was on remote connection with my friend attempting all kinds of flashes (mostly custom roms and recoveries)
what he did
he FIRST flashboot erase aboot
and then erased all the other files
foolishly he then used fastboot reboot BEFORE reflashing the necessary images
this leaves me with a device that is practically 100% empty all hardware no software
i have no response no life not even a backlight EXCEPT
i can plug into windows and see Qdloader9008 is connected comport 3
and i can communicate with the device on ubuntu terminal although im not too farmiliar with terminal syntax so im not having much luck
im convinced it is as simple as reflashing at least a working recovery or download mode from which i can install everything else i nee
between QPST, Terminal, and or some other method
sorry for Noob ish ness
any help would be appreciated even if just help with a better understanding of what to do next
payment is possible

Sorry, I barely understood what to do originally. What you have to do next is to reflash the aboot/boot/ whatever partitions but getting to that position might be difficult. Maybe some sort of command would allow you to connect to it oncemore?
Sorry, try to look into it more and see if a dev could help. Try posting something in /r/lgg2 but then again I cant be certain anything would happen. Good luck!

Easy guide
Since the problem keeps happening to people heres a quick tutorial I made.
Download and install this (PC only?)
Now go here. (D802) (D800) (LS980) (VS980) (D803) (Device tree/others)Download the images for laf, aboot, boot, and recovery.
Place the 4 .img files in the same folder. Control right click in that folded and open terminal. If this isn't how you open terminal in a folder search"how to open terminal in a folder".
(NOTE: Commands below will differ from the file names. Change the values in the parenthesis to match the files, HOWEVER, do not type the parenthesis into the terminal prompt! It will not work if you do.)
type the following commands in fastboot:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot (6-boot.img)
fastboot flash aboot (4-aboot.img)
fastboot flash recovery (10-recovery.img)
fastboot flash laf (11-laf.img)
fastboot reboot
You should be fine now!

Unbrick Ls980 formatting partitions
Do this: (only for LS980)
1. Download the adb.zip file
2. Unzip in you computer the adb.zip file
3. Connect your phone LS980 to your computer
4. Run "particiones lg g2.bat"
5. Enter in download mode and flash the phone
6. enjoy your phone

i tried this with almost all model files but still on fastboot any other option?>

I want to say thank you so much for this thread. Just got a new (refurb) G2 switching carriers to T-Mo and my idiot self used the wrong root program and soft bricked to fastboot. 4 .img files later and a few commands and I don't think I've ever been so happy to see a download screen on a phone...

[Q] Stuck in fastboot mode after flashing wrong device image

Hey guys.
I wanted to update my LG G2 32GB from slimlat 7.4 to 7.6.
This time i was just too tired to notice, that i downloaded the wrong image for my device. I flashed the d800 (AT&T) image instead of the d802 (international). Now i am stuck at fastboot mode:
Code:
[690] Fastboot mode started
[740] udc_start()
Iam not able to access recovery mode (TWRP) by pressing power and volume down, but i can access download mode (power and volume up).
Question 1: Can is access TWRP on a different way than pressing power and volume down while starting? Because i made a backup..
This guy some how managed to get into recovery.
Question 2: If there is no way to access TWRP. Do i have to make tabula rasa using the guide recommended for "Stuck in Fastboot with Broken Download Mode" "HOW TO get back to stock when your phone stuck in fastboot mode" or is there a way to repair & access recovery?
Question 3: The Guide "Stuck in Fastboot with Broken Download Mode" confused me, because it says: "First in fastboot mode (refer to my previous post, I enter it by plugging USB into G2 with pressing the volume + )" When i press power and volume up (which is +, right?) i access "download mode", but not fastboot mode. It looks like this. Does this mean my "download mode" is still operational and i can skip this guide?
Question 4: When i can skip the latter guide, do i have to continue with this (LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock)) one? Do i need to go back to stock to access TWRP and restore my backup?
I hope i haven't confused you with too many questions. I really looking forward to your answers. Thanks in advance for your help!
greetings mellhen

To access twrp try power + vol down then vol up + vol down. If that doesn't work then no you cannot access your recovery.
Your actually in a much better position than the guy in that guide. You've got download mode so you can skip to the easy part and just follow the back to stock guide.
You can also use fastboot mode to flash the correct partitions if you want by setting up adb and using fastboot commands with all the partition images. Its up to you.

Hey Vanderlay.
Thanks for your reply,
I tried to access recovery using your suggestion, but the time between turning the device on and "fastboot mode" is just to small to press key combinations.
You mentioned that i can use ADB commands to manually write on the G2 partitions. Honestly i don't know exactly what the problem is and therefore i have no clue which partitions have to be written on. What i understand is, that i cant boot because the kernel of the D800 is different from the D802. But i dont get, why i cant access recovery. Is TWRP somehow destroyed so i have to write a new one on the recovery partition or do i need the correct rom image to access recovery? If you could explain me this or have a link to a good explanation i would be very grateful.
[EDIT]
I have fast boot access. But as far as i know fastboot only allows to flash stock images (what a shame) as the commands are interpreted vendor specifc. Nevertheless i found that you can flash recovery by
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
But as i don't know if the recovery is destroyed or the correct rom-image is needed to simply access recovery, i cant continue here.
Am I right assuming that there is know way to repair recovery, boot into it and simply restore from my backup? Do i realy have to go back to stock, re-root it and install custom recovery again, to be able to restore from my backup?

If you've got a system then just flash your original kernel
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and
fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
and
fastboot flash laf laf.img (download mode)
your original files please..

My backup is stored on the internal SD-card (as i was simply to lazy to transfer it to my PC). As i cant remove this card from my phone i don't know to flash the phone via fastboot.
Is there a way to command fastboot to acceess those files on the internal SD-card?
Or is there a way to transfer those files from the internal SD-card to my PC?

Download slimkat d802 kernel, extract boot.img and flash itcvia fastboot

I downloaded the complete image for d802 and extracted the boot image. I connected the phone via fastboot and did
Code:
C:\Users\XX>fastboot flash boot boot.img
target reported max download size of 1862270976 bytes
sending 'boot' (6284 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.264s]
writing 'boot'...
OKAY [ 0.526s]
finished. total time: 0.797s
And then
Code:
C:\Users\hen>fastboot reboot
rebooting...
finished. total time: 0.104s
Now iam getting a secure boot error cause boot certification verify.
EDIT:
I cant access neither recovery, nor fastboot or download mode.

I downloaded the rom image. There i found boot.img and extracted it. I couldnt find a kernel file on the slimroms server. But should a complete rom also contain a kernel?
EDIT: As i cant access download-mode, fastboot or recovery i should continue here, right?

Exactly. I'll try to help you 2 out although I see you searched already

Ok, i continue with these instructions with my kubuntu laptop at home. This will be in about 1h.
[EDIT]
Ok back. My kubuntu was able to recognize my G2, i see all partitions. But i couldn't find the files for the 32GB Model, only 16GB. Some guys (Jilke, Ixan) had the same issue and bender_007 suggested to use the 16GB versions. But i couldnt find any confirmation, if the 16GB files worked for the 802.32GB. Have i overlooked a post, which confirmed this suggestion?

Since the kdz is the same for all you can use it.
use just the aboot, boot and laf
Do you need any further assistance ?

Hey bender_007 was it wrong to use the boot.img from the rom file instead of a kernel file?

I used the files for the european 802 16GB device from here: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D802/Stock_Firmware/10b_EUR_16G_partitions
The original thread says i should use 1- sbl1.img, 2- aboot.img, 3- rpm.img and 4- tz.img
Why do i not need slbl1, rpm and tz, but instead boot and laf? I dont get that (?).
[EDIT]
So i just started beginning with aboot. Which yours and the original instructions have in common. I didn't care about the bin-extension, as it usually makes no difference in linux.
Code:
[email protected]:~# dd if=/home/mellhen/Entwicklung/android/LG\ G2/partition\ images/4-aboot.bin of=/dev/sdb5
2048+0 Datensätze ein
2048+0 Datensätze aus
1048576 Bytes (1,0 MB) kopiert, 0,278651 s, 3,8 MB/s
Continued with boot. As you have recommended this (aboot, boot and laf) procedure to another guy in that thread, this seems to be an update to the original instruction?
Code:
[email protected]:~# dd if=/home/mellhen/Entwicklung/android/LG\ G2/partition\ images/6-boot.bin of=/dev/sdb7
21504+0 Datensätze ein
21504+0 Datensätze aus
11010048 Bytes (11 MB) kopiert, 2,97537 s, 3,7 MB/s
And finally laf
Code:
[email protected]:~# dd if=/home/mellhen/Entwicklung/android/LG\ G2/partition\ images/laf.bin of=/dev/sdb23
31744+0 Datensätze ein
31744+0 Datensätze aus
16252928 Bytes (16 MB) kopiert, 5,13812 s, 3,2 MB/s
So i will try to reboot in TWRP now.
[EDIT 2]
I cant access recovery. I see an LG logo without text and a blue-green pulsing LED. I can't turn the device of and it gets hot.
I had a lot nearly bricked devices, but now i get scared! How can i continue?
greetings

You can't get to twrp but tou can get to download mode. Turn the g2 off, disconnect it first. Then hold volume up and connect it to pc

Ok, i really had cold sweat and have had to take a deep breath. It was the first time that i was really scared. In older devices you can pull the battery but this one is known to burn itself (or at least its screen).
I am now in download mode and it stopped heating. I had to first plug it in. Then turn it off and when it turned off press volume up. Shall i continue with the LG G2 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock)? Can i continue using linux?
OT: How far have you brought your devices to the abyss of death?

Yap. Use the flash tool 2014 . You're good to go

I followed the instructions and flashed "Europe OPEN D80220B_00". The process continued to 100% (both mobile and flash tool 2014). After this the phone rebooted, i could see the LG logo again and now it stays at the green droid "doing something" since 6 minutes. The phone is still connected to the Windows computer. Shall i wait a little longer? unplug the phone? reboot the phone?
[EDIT] i just took its time, it started finally! bender_007 how can i thank you for your patience(!)?

Np m8, you did all the work and research, that's the real way.

bootloop,touch screen problem,no recovery mode or fastboot mode,
download mode is working.
Couple of time it booted normally but touch is not working properly and then it goes for reboot.
I want to flash original kernel but i am not able to get into fastboot

Please help Stuck fastboot mode no download mode no recovery mode

So I have read alot about this problem and not one can help me fix my phone.
I got an lg g d802t Australian version I cannot acces anything Lg screen pops up and striaght to fastboot mode... iv tried posting on the other help thread but i need this fixed asap.... and no1 has replied to my post so im making a thread.
Iv tried using fastboot cmd command or w/e but it gets stuck at waiting for device. tried downloading the driver for fastboot still happens. Iv tryd almost everything out there and yet i cant find what im doing wrong. following intrustions one by one and somehow i still cant get it working.
All the does is power on, logo comes up and boom fastboot mode. No recovery mode no hold down and power button nothing happens.
when connected to usb i hear a ding and my phone comes up with -reset- -portcharge- about 3times and then nothing.

download google adb driver, select it from the list - you can select nexus..
then "fastboot devices"
then you would need your partitions, aboot, boot, laf from the same compilation to proceed.
