So the issue i'm having is when put my battery in or plug the phone into any power source it boots up and stops at the lg splash screen. I have tried going into recovery mode via power + vol down key combination and it dose not allow it in it just stays on lg screen. the other issue is when i plug it into my computer i get a notification saying that the usb device is not recognized i have tried putting it to usb mode via power + vol up key but still no dice. This happened after flashing cyanogen 7 to my phone it worked fine for a few days then i turned it off one night as to not be bothered with calls. the next morning it started this problem. i have browsed the forums looking for a solution none of which seem to have worked. any insight into this would be nice
notes:
-can not get into recovery mode / cwm
-can not put to usb mode
-for the issue with it not being recognized by the computer i have tried 3 different cables on win 8,7 and vista and on both my laptop and desktop using different usb ports. going to try xp tonight
-exact device model = P925g Optimus 3d with Rogers canada.
-to the forum admin pleas feel free to move this thread into the right section if i posted in the wrong one
Turn the phone off
Hold down the volume down key and then plug in the USB cable. See if you get something.
this forum is for the optimus g. not sure if that is what u have.

Im able to get into twrp recovery, and fastboot mode but not download mode... I wanted to put the phone back into stock and i thought wiping out everything would do so but i guess not.
Whenever i press the download mode command which i did was volume up down and power then plug into the laptop the 3 buttons will flash but my laptop won recognized it. I tried installing the LG Optimus G drivers but still unable to install it. Also TWRP says that the phone isnt rooted anymore and has no OS.

First off it's Vol Up + Vol Down while powered off and then plug into computer. DO NOT press the power button.
Secondly what ver. of windows and did the computer have any issues prior with connecting to the phone?
There is another fix but it's a bit drastic and wouldn't recommend it at this point.

On my phone, Download Mode is only accessed when Vol + and - and power from a powered off state, while any USB cord is plugged in, either to a PC, or a wall charger.
After flashing, i noticed that the phone has some issues powering on and off normally i.e. phone completely died, plug the phone into the charger, screen turns on, phone is theoretically charging, but does not show any charging display icon. Which then forces me to unplug the phone, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, press and hold the power again to turn the phone on, and immediately plug it into the charger in order to get the phone to normally boot up. I flashed CM 10.2 from the original android dev thread. I think that was just a design flaw that LG had originally, but meh, what can i say.
Q&A?

So i discovered a strange thing from my G3 while trying to upgrade to 10E. My phone is unable to enter download mode to flash the update. I have done the procedure a in the flashing thread:
-turn off phone
-unplug USB
-hold down volume up
-plug USB
i can head windows play the device connected sound then proceed with the phone just displaying the normal charging display.
also, adb reboot download does not work, adb reboot recovery does.

I had same issue, just make sure that you plug in the USB cable fast after you hold the volume up and also make sure you continue to hold the volume up.

I tried a thousand times but every time it just start up mobile phone instead of going to Download Mode.
Remove the battery for a few seconds and be sure to plug into usb 2 and not into usb 3 port on your pc
I tried that too. Removed battery for seconds and connected to USB 2.0 but same issue. I wonder it connects to PC and LG Pc Suite without any problems. I'm sure all rivers are already installed but wonder why it can't enter download mode.
I lost LG original USB cable and use other cables ( I tried many ).
What's wrong then?!!! I even tried Windows XP and 8.1 but both same issue!
I'm having the same issue only I think it's because I really bricked my phone, not able to boot up or anything.
My gives me an error saying fast boot and a couple of commands with a black screen, Unable to get to download mode
I have one ls980. it stuck at LG logo when i power on/connect to wall charger/USB cable with PC. when i choose vol down and power , it show me recovery options for YES/NO but never go in recovery and again stuck on LG logo.

Will it enter download mode by (powered off first) holding volume up and then connecting the usb cord to PC? If it will, then you can use LG Flashtools and a TOT file (stock software) and flash it to factory setting.
Good day.
I was trying to restore my phone back to its original LG OS. Getting rid of the unsuccessful root. But I can't go to USB mode whenever I connect it to the USB. I can see the download mode if I press the vol up. But after that, the screen just turns black. I'm sure the PC is not the problem since my PC has a voice command whenever a device was putted or pulled out.
I am following this guide and I'm doing great with it. But my phone won't get recognize by my laptop (HP/Windows 8.0)

I hope you can all help me so that I can use my phone again. Thank you
So when I try to install TWRP (for Lineago OS) I was getting the "fastboot_init" screen and wasn't able to pass it. After some research I found out that my software may be the issue, so to turn the normal state of my phone I flashed this kdz file with LG Flash Tool 2014 in Download Mode.
After that, I booted. I was able to hear the constant starting song with black screen right after I saw the LG logo. After restarting the phone, I'm only able to see charging info and a red light when I plug a usb.
Notes:
- I tried to force restart with Power + Volume Up combination.
- First photo is not mine (shows the same thing)
Problem solved. Try the keyword "soft bricked".
Note that you enter the download mode if you, unplug battery & USB and press Volume Up connect the usb that you attached it to a PC.
