I recently got an lg g2 and rooted it, but it would never boot into recovery mode correctly. Well one night i was trying different chargers because it kept saying it was charging and would vibrate and say it was charging again, i woke up and the screen was lit but wasnt booting. I tried to restart it, no affect, tried to recover it, when it does this it goes into the blank screen again and does nothing, it also wont go into download mode. when plugging into the computer around 15 drives pop up and say they need formatting and it says that is is some qual disk drive and wont install any drivers. tried adb and the phone isnt recognized. am I SOL? What else can i try. One disk drive mounts and has a folder named image.
Short version
-wont boot
-no download mode
-recovery does nothing
-computer does not recognize as phone
-comes up with 15 disk drives that needs to be formatted
-one has a folder named image with stuff in it
-adb wont recognize phone
-tried the lg recovery tool and b/c no download mode it will not read the phone (tried to force install the drivers of the phone to see if it would work to no prevail)

Why not just go back to STOCK?
-for download mode, dont try to BOOT into download mode. Use the method of holding VOL UP while plugging in USB when the Flashtools are ready to go with the TOT and DLL files.

Did this already, didn't repair it, said device does not have enough space during the last step. it allowed it to go into download mode for a second, but will not stay in it.
Solved my problem, will post a guide for others this weekend with the same issue.

Don't know if it's of any help but check out my post on fixing a hard bricked g2 had a similar problem an was able to get it fxed
Okay, so not sure what I did here.
I have an LG G2 ATT version with 4.2.2 installed.
I was trying to install CM, which I already have on my Nexus 7 and love. But the LG G2 doesn't have a nice one-click install app like the Nexus 7 does.
So, I managed to root it, and got SuperUser installed and Clockworkrecoverymod.
At one point I also had TWRP installed, and I think that is where I went wrong. I went to flash a new fastboot / recovery mode and think I selected the wrong one (LG G2 International).
Ever since then, attempting to reboot into recovery using the hardware method (volume down + power) doesn't work. If i force it into fastboot mode using Clockworkrecoverymod or ioroot, I get a strange message.
All the phone shows is white text on a black background:
[830] Fastboot mode started
[940] -- rest --
[950] fastboot; processing commands
then, if i unplug the USB port, I get a few messages. If I replug it in, I get the above message again, with different time stamps.
If I boot normally, it pulls up the normal stock OS, but any attempt to boot into fast mode gets me this message. I can also boot into download mode, but it hangs at 0 %. I tried Flashing a new Recovery using clockworkmod, and it says it worked, but booting into recovery just results in ending up in the same Fastboot mode deadend.
I see the same message if I try to factory reset the phone through the normal software method in options.
So, it is great that I didn't completely brick my phone when I idiotically installed for the wrong mode, but without being able to get into fastboot mode, what are my options for getting back on there and back to stock so I can try again?
And yes, I tried to make a backup on my device, but when I went to go back to it, clockworkmod said it isn't there. Not sure how I messed that up, but anyone have any suggestions on what I can do going forward?
As I understand; If you're trying to boot it to recovery mode, it goes to fastboot mode, right?
If I understood right; you need just flash recovery to your device.
G2 has a different boot process from other devices. If bootloader failed to boot the thing you want to boot, it goes to fastboot mode. That's why it goes fastboot mode when you try to boot it to recovery.
Ah yeah, i just couldn't figure out how to get it out of Fastmode. I was a little confused about the difference between fastmode and recovery.
I seemed to have fixed the problem by AutoRec, for whatever that is worth. Now it boots into TWRP's recovery mode. Shouldn't be hard to get cyanogenmod now.

Give a thank to the OP of the threat.
I softbricked my phone. I was in TWRP and wiped everything including the rom that was on it. So i have tried flashing the stock back on using the various toolkits out there. I have also tried to push a rom file onto the sdcard. However it seems my computer is only detecting the phone in adp mode when its in recovery or sometimes when its stuck on the google logo screen. as soon as it goes into fastboot mode no more detection. Also it seems the bootloader is locked again. hwoever i cant unlock it as i cant get it into the adb mode on thr fastloader screen. someone please help. ?
Hey,
I hard bricked my phone (no download mode, no recovery and no fastboot) and then managed to fix it (VIA SRK Tool) and got download mode back.
Now I need to install a recovery, and I cant go and manually check if the TWRP recovery is already installed or not, because if I do go to check and the recovery is not there then the phone will factory reset (and I'll lose all my data).
KDZ Method isn't working, it keeps saying I need to restart my device at 23% (same on two different PCs).
So is there any way of flashing the TWRP recovery through the download mode?
Thanks a lot
(I have a D801, I can get to download mode, factory reset screen and LG logo which then leads to the "Security error" coz there is no firmware in the phone.)
i tried to flash my phone's recovery which showed "successful" . But when I try and go into recovery mode or fastboot mode the phone automatically switches back on
fastboot doesn't recognize my device
but adb does
I can't even do a factory data reset after the phone switches back on!
