Hey,
I have D802 16GB with pre-last CM version. Wanted to restart the phone (no mods nor installing apps before, just a normal restart) and the trouble started:
-it was stucking on LG logo and then screen turning off; sometimes it came to CM boot animation followed by turned off screen
-managed to boot the phone in safe mode in order to backup files from the phone, it freezed and turned off. Booted in safe mode few times again, the freeze was coming faster and faster
-once or twice phone booted up normally, freezed very soon
-booted to safe mode couple of more times. I noticed the phone was freezing shortly after releasing the volume buttons.
-booted up in normal mode, was holding the volume up button during the boot. The phone worked normally, after couple of mins released the volume button. Few mins after the phone freezed.
-LG logo was shown few more times out of dozens of attempts with different power button and volume buttons combinations
-LG logo showed for a short moment after pluging the charger
-now nothing happens at all, even when connected to charger or PC. The computer doesn't detect any device.
I really want to get the data that are in internal memory of the phone. What should I do? What happened with my phone?
Found this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
but will the internal memory data be affected? Moreover, there is written:
12 After attaching buttons plate,check your device going into download mode, and use flash tool to flash stock rom.

On the phone is CM which is not stock ROM, can I proceed?
Each advice will be much appreciated

I'm not a noob and have tried everything I can think of - hooking my phone up to my pc via odin and adb with zero results. Tried plugging on my phone overnight, etc etc.
My problem - I was at work and took a photo with the camera app, the camera crashed, then I opened the gallery. I went to reboot my phone and nothing happens. Now when I try to power on the phone, nothing happens. I do a battery pull and then put the battery back in and it boots up for no more than 3 seconds to the Samsung logo and then turns off. If I try booting into recovery, same thing - just turns off and the same situation if I try to boot into download mode. Has anyone encountered this problem? Note that I am running a custom recovery - Philz CWM. I fear the worst; my phone is perma bricked.
edit; FIXED - Faulty power button. Power button will stay in and not pop out without prying at it.
Hey everyone,
This morning i was doing a backup on my lg d803 straight from twrp and the screen turned off. I left it like that for about 10 minutes to make sure the backup would finish.
However, the screen still wont turn on. The phone rebooted once into the lg logo and turned off. It is now stuck like this. It won't boot back into anything
-The phone won't turn on.
-It can't boot into recovery or download modes.
-It it not recognized by my pc in any way (win 10 64 bit with LG drivers installed).
-Holding the power button does not turn it on, not even to the lg logo.
-the button combo for recovery mode does nothing either.

I bricked mine last week. Got it into dowload mode (don't remember, google it) used lg mobile support tool and did recover phone from options and worked like a charm. Didn't even lose any of my installed apps.
Maybe battery level is low
Download mode did not work for me with low battery
I charged for about 2 hours and still could not get into download mode. i tried holding the volume up button while pluging it into the pc and nothing happened on the pc or the phone. No connect sound or anything.
Charging and using combo's don't always work, you should ideally boot into download mode before attaching. Perhaps you should try and make a MacGyver cable with a spare/broken usb charger to charge the battery directly - in-case the port or something is broken.
So basically this rom is awesome but it had only one problem. When I plugged my phone in the charger while it was turned off, it bootlooped until I restarted with the cable off. It was no big deal and nothing bad ever came out of it.
Yesterday my batter ran out while I was asleep and when I woke up it was already turned off. I, absentmindly, tried to turn it on, LG Logo, off again. Did it one more time, nothing happened, realized it's out of battery. Plugged in charger, try to turn it off/on, usual bootloop happens. Say ok and proceed with what I always did, phone gets past LG Logo, goes into SlimLP boot animation and for the first it has just stayed there. No restarts, just endless loading. Longest i Left it on to load was about 45 minutes. Never got back on.
Apart from that, I think that for some reason my recovery got uninstalled somehow, by itself, a few weeks ago. I only noticed this because before, when I wanted to get into recovery, I pressed the usual buttons and it went straight into TWRP. Now the same buttons take me to the "Factory reset screen". I know that everyone says to just go ahead and press power, but I am afraid, since I am not sure if TWRP is still functioning. This happened to me another time on the same phone, and when I confirmed the factory reset, it factory resetted.
My problem here is that I want to get my music and photos. I'm only able to enter that factory reset screen and download mode. Can I "flash" twrp safely from download mode? Should I use Flash Tool 2014 and Normal flash(which says it keeps the data) a stock g2 rom? Can I mount my phone to the computer in download mode to copy my files? I want the most risk-free approach.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, first If you can enter download mode I think you can flash kdz (Kitkat) file to stock using Flash Tool 2014. But I had this problem once and the keep data flashing didn't work (stucked at 50%), I ended up flashed it with other option (erased all data).
2. You can try the "Factory reset" nice and easy.
I think you can't see files on the device unless you enter Twrp.
It's wise to backup your phone on the computer montly or so, thank you.
I went ahead and nuked my download mode using the SRK tools. Then got access to fastboot, through which I booted to twrp and then I could move my files. All's fine, flashed my ROM again and it's going better than ever.
I installed a new boot animation on my LG Ultimate 2 (LGL41C), and rebooted it. It then proceeded to boot fine, so I installed a different one. Now, I'm stuck. It'll bring up the boot animation, and restart it about every 48 seconds. I left it like that for 2 hours in the slight chance that it would get out of it on its own, but to no avail. So, I have TWRP on this device, and made a backup earlier today, so I was going to restore from that backup, but I couldn't boot into recovery. Taking out the battery will turn it off, and putting it in and doing anything with the power button, no matter what other buttons your pressing, will bring it into the boot animation. So, I thought I'll flash a ROM. Can't do that either. As I said, the power button will always bring the device into the boot animation, disregarding other buttons. I've plugged the phone into my computer, and the computer makes a sound, letting me know it's there, but doesn't bring up the SD card or Internal Storage.
Phone Model: AT&T LG G2 (D800)
Recovery: Custom TWRP Recovery
ROM: CM12 Official ROM
My phone was working fine from last 3-4 months, until today it restarted and got stuck on 'LG' logo, I left it for some time and it shows the demigod green screen of death with option to access download mode and restart.
What I already did!
1) Full hard reset, I can access the TWRP.
2) Flashed the ROM again.
Current Situation!
Stuck on LG logo from last 10mins.
Thanks in advance.
Edit #1: Reflashed the same ROM (CM12) and it booted into the language selection page, freezes and restarted. Stuck on black screen, I turned it off by pressing the power button for 10-15 secs. I kept it in a freezer for 10-15secs and turned it on, same happened.
Edit #2 I flashed a stock based ROM through TWRP, it was going fine but it froze in between, I waited for some time and it went black. I waited for 1 hr and it was still black so I hold the power button and restarted the phone.
Now its showing "Secure Boot Error" which remains for some secs and a black screen comes, I can't open TWRP, Download mode is accessible but after 2 secs into download mode, secure boot error comes. Whenever I try to connect it to Windows PC(I installed all the required drivers and all) it starting popping up drives(with option to format) which never stops until I remove the USB cable.

Steps to perform.
1. While in critical error screen you have an option to press volume up button to boot into download mode( although it will not boot to download mode) but still press volume up button so your Pc can detect your phone.
2. Now flash a kdz file of your lg g2 with flash tool. ( you can google for it to download flash file for your lg g2 and how to flash it with lg flass tool.)
3. When you will try to flash it will fail..
4. Now power off your phone by pressing power button.
5. Now boot to download mode and flash the correct kdz with lg flash tool and u r good to go..
To acess download mode power off your phone immediately press volume up button and while keep pressing it and plug in usb cable and you will be in download mode
I performed all this on lg g2 d801 but i hope u can try it on other varients as well. As i was scared of short circut method and srk tool didn't help..

Thanks for replying.
My case is a bit different now, I reflashed the same ROM(CM12) and it successfully booted, worked for 10 secs and it was frozen, restarted automatically, stuck on LG Logo.
I notice that there's some heat issue, I kept it in freezer for 10 secs, rebooted it, it booted till language selection page and freeze after 10-15secs.
Also the link is for DemiGod Critical Crash, mine is DemiGod Kernel Crash.
Updated!!
First post updated, please check the current situation before posting anything.
I don't have a computer or laptop to connect it to so how can I fix it?
