I was flashing a new kernel and then after reboot the phone got stuck at the LG logo. I couldn't and still can't get into recovery-mode. I tried this this and that. But nothing worked.
I can get into emergencymode though, so i tried this page, i have flashed a couple of firmware kdz-files in emergencymode. Some got errors, but the only that changed after that i got to "moving" LG logo (after i hard resetted the phone again after flashing). And when i plug the phone in my laptop i get a battery-icon. Nothing more...
I am at a loss! Can someone help me?
eeuh after like 15 times i got into CWM! Now restoring a backup, fingers crossed...

update: i got into CWM and then i tried to restore data. I got one error that restoring cache didnt work. Now the phone is in a bootloop...:silly: after the lg-logo and after the cyanogenmod logo i get into android, but when the message comes "android is being upgraded" and "starting apps" (dont know if this is exactly the same in english, but in dutch it says "Android wordt bijgewerkt" and "Apps starten"), the phone restarts itself and the process starts all over again...
Strange thing is now, i cant get in CWM again! Its really bugging me.....

Can you enter emergency mode?
If yes, use lg official b2capp program and flash again everything by your IMEI.

yes, i can get into emergencymode. But the B2Capp program freezes after it tries to find an update... Now trying LG PCsuite...
[edit] LG PC Suite cant find the phone. Now back to kdz-files...
ok, im at a dead end:
- i can get in emergencymode, not in recovery;
- i can install kdz-files from laptop with the phone in emergency-mode, but only the official kdz-files are installed without errors. All other options for installing firmware from a pc fail, i cant get it installed (b2capps) or i can but the program doesn't recognize the form (lg pc suite). Flashing new CWM from laptop failed also.
- even with kdz-files installer android doesn't go past second boot screen (the live one). I got past it once, but i cant repeat the process. i got to CWM then, but when i tried to restore a backup it got in a bootloop. After that all attempts getting past bootscreen have failed.
I got my old phone back, but if somebody has a idea how to revive the LG i'll appreciate it! Right now i'm considering it bricked.
Try To reflash it with LG Software update tool (not PC suite) in emergency mode (voldown and plug in USB) if this won't work i can't help you

Well it's been a while since I broke a phone, so here I am!.... again
LS980. TWRP Rooted. Failed CM. Now stuck in boot loop.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit. I have latest LG drivers. Phone can boot into recovery but nothing else. I cannot boot into LG's "Download Mode". I can get into the "Hard Recovery Mode" which doesn't work anyway (Vol Up + Power). From recovery I can select to wipe cash and data and I can select to install from sdcard (no cards on this thing) or from ADB. When selecting ADB and trying to sideload stuff to it, it tries to load but always fails. If I try to push stuff it always comes back :closed
I cannot access any form of Fastboot. All i can do is let is loop or enter recovery. Since it seems to be the only thing I can access, can someone please assist me in what I should be trying to sideload that might get me a step further? I cannot fastboot so anything there isn't an option. Seemingly all I can try to do is sideload something. What... I'm not really sure. And no :crying: I don't have a backup.
Please help!

I am on verizon. Had this happen to me once. Are you SURE you are hitting the buttons at the right time for download? I have never heard of this failing..on any phone. I would almost bet it's accessible and you aren't hitting it in time..maybe? Good luck!

Hey so when you try adb sideload it starts up then fails? Have you tried just pushing to recovery with adb also? Universal drivers? Sorry for all the questions just trying to help

You were right, I was doing it wrong. Once I got into download mode it went easy.
Response to others, I found that if I held vol down by itself long enough, the phone would stop bootlooping and shut off. I could then properly go into download mode.
Thanks for the help

1. Hold the power button until the device is OFF.
2. Download LG drivers to the PC (LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.11.1) and LG mobile support tool (B2CAppSetup).
3. Install these packages.
4. Plug in you USB cable into the phone but not the computer.
5. Hold volume up and insert the USB cable to the PC- the phone should boot to 'download mode'.
6. Open the support tool and click Options>Upgrade Recovery, follow the prompts.
7. At the first prompt indentify your phone using IMEI/ESN, then click OK
8. Let it do its thing, the phone will reboot and most likely have a bunch of error messages and some FC's. Just hit okay to all messages, the phone will settle after 2 minutes or so.
9. Download freegee from market and reflash recovery of your choice.
10. Make sure you have a ROM saved to the SD to flash
11. Use freegee to reboot to recovery
12. Once in recovery you can reflash the ROM as normal.
13. Reboot and Profit!
*$* Or you could go back to Stock and start fresh!
*$* BEFORE ANY FLASH ALWAYS STOP and MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
Good Luck and if you get stuck let me know
Similar issue
I'm stuck in bootloop, no custom recovery or root. All data has been deleted. I have tried the LG support tool, but it locks up. It also tells me my device is a test model, something bad has happened. I can get into download mode but can't flash stock, via the flash tool. It says wrong device, and at the download screen where my phone says rooted it says the model is a D802! Somehow this info got jacked up! I can almost make it through the D802 flash but it fails also. I only did that to confirm my suspicion that the phone thinks its a different model. I'm open to anything, I've tried it all.

I think that's my only option. The Note? That's quite the trade off. One last question, did you say rooted at the download screen even though it wasn't?

How? My phone only boots to download or stock recovery. What mode does the phone need to be in for the tool to work? I can get the process started but the tool locks up every time.

Hello people of the world!
I have a LG D802 rooted 16GB, and it all started when I tried using flashify to install twrp. It said that it flashed, and without any backups, I tried it and when I tried it out, to my horror it wasn´t working saying secure boot error and i couln´t access recovery mode and download mode. After a while I tried No recovery mode and download mode and etc.. IT WORKED!! well sorta... I accidently pulled out the lg cable before i could replace the tz.img and recovery.img and now my phone is stuck in twrp, and when I try the tot method, my computer doesn´t react in any way to my phone and in the phone, the blue lines should be moving, but in my phone they aren´t. Seems like my phone always freezes then and I don´t know why. Also when I go twrp, with usb already connected, then the buttons don´t work. So I am in a crappy situation, also i don´t know how i could get back to replace them, and this is why I am asking the smart people of xda for help :fingers-crossed:

So Verizon just released their 25B update. I did not want to accept it, as I was rooted and I have a custom recovery. When I was unlocking the screen I accidentally pressed install. It said shutting down, so I held down the power button and shut it down before It went to "update" When I turned the phone back on, I went into recovery and restored and rebooted. I got to the LG logo and it booted me into TWRP. So I then tried another restore point and it did the same thing. Any thing I can do?
Maybe try factory wipe in TWRP? and see the device will boot normally?

We should be able to get this fixed.
Do you ave access to a windows PC ? If so You could enter Download mode and flash the stock TOT file or KDZ file for your phone.
Since your in ubuntu , could you check if the Phone enumerates as a Disk drive ? If so Can you check as what device it shows up ?
EG /dev/sdb or sdc or sdd . Once you have that Could you run this command and output what it says ?
gdisk -l /dev/sdX (Replace X with the actual character that the phone shows up as).
:good:
I'm sorry. I forgot to say no download mode either. I still have my LG flash tool from a soft brick before.im not that good at explaining things that's why I accidentally left it out

same problem here and cant find solution ...
I had the same issue. when you press to reset button when the phone boots it should reboot and for a short time go to recovery and try to write some commands, right? if it does like mine did then what i did to fix it was boot up the phone and wait for the page saying encryption unsuccesful to popup and on the computer have the adb reboot recovery ready to go so when you press the reset button and the recovery menu pops up press enter on the computer before it goes away and it should send you to the regular recovery menu. from there you should go back to wipe and press the format data button where you have to type yes to erase everything. let me know how it went.
you will have to reflash the supersu but it should now be working like it should
Flash the latest su and your fine.

Make sure your on charging mode and you have adb debug enabled
send the adb reboot recovery command as soon as the twrp connects to the computer. as soon as you hear it connect to the computer it should work if your drivers are working.

What screen are you stuck in? Do you have adb up and running?
Same as before Encryption unsuccessful. I was able to do the trick, got into two and wiped data. Then rebooted to system and it went right back to that screen. I've tried 100 times or so to get back into twrp with no luck. I hear the computer recognize the device when it goes into twrp for 2 seconds after you click reset. Not sure if that means add is up and running or not.

Well it booted then got stuck on the lg boot screen again. Adb does not recognize my device, can only boot into Fastboot. Fastboot does see my device, tried lgup, lg bridge, and lg update none see my device, tried relocking bootloader after oem lock bootloader rebooted said my device was corrupted and shut itself off went back into Fastboot unlocked bootloader again and back to the same lg screen help?
This did not work for me, my phone reboots back into TWRP whenever I install a system image it still gives me the encryption message.

Had the same problem and could not for the life of me do the adb thing. Someone here stated something that I thought I'd try: Press volume down while plugging in the phone to get into fastboot. In a command window issue "fastboot oem lock" (this will relock the boot) > Let the phone reset and you'll see the "Phone corrupt message" > Plug the phone in again to do a fastboot and issue "fastboot oem unlock" > Take the battery out let the phone boot and BAM-E WHAM success!
btw. I followed the steps here to do the whole root thing with Android . how (google "how to root the v20")
I think the "data" wipe did this and according to this site it's not a necessary step so skip it.
This option works!

I go my T-mobile LG V20 H918 on 11/23/16 and sure enough, I followed the same thread as listed above where it added the step of "data wipe" crap. I was caught in a bootloop, where phone kept bootlooping back to the "reset to factory." The other method of entering the adb command at the right time was more frustrating than anything. (I never got it to work). I spent all day yesterday trying to get this phone working. I re-read (x30) the above thread and on the first attempt it worked. I did not get the "Phone Corrupt Message," but I went ahead and entered the "fastboot oem unlock" and the F#$king phone finally reboot to the setup initial screen. It wiped everything, but having a phone working rather than a nice $800 paperweight, I wanted to kiss SkyHusky for sharing this simple method. YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!
By the way, since I am a glutton for punishment, I followed the steps to root again. After flashing the SuperUser, I rebooted to System. I was at the initial setup screen. My phone is rooted, has TWRP, and SuperUser! As soon as I got the phone working, I went back to TWRP and made a BACKUP!!!!
It is amazing that every time I f-up a phone, I can always come to XDA and get a solution. THANKS GUYS!

No problem!! Also I forgot to add I only rooted afterward and didn't try to install a ROM or anything. I would think you risk danger with some ROMs without that decryption thing turned off. So maybe in the short future there will be better fixes.
