No Download Mode!! - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am trying to go to download mode with my G3 ( mobile is working fine ) but when I press and hold Volume up and connect USB cable to PC, the phone turns on and boots normally.
I noticed even in normal situation if I turn off my mobile and try charging while it's off, it turns on automatically!
Any comments how I can go to download mode?

I have lost the original USB cable coming with the device. Can it be the reason? Is LG G3 usb cable special?

I use a diferent cable from the original and dont have that problem, can you try a diferent usb 2.0 port?

Is your G3 stock or does it have a custom recovery?

Try this:
Hold vol up button while connecting your phone to your pc

owh sorry I thought he said that he connected the usb and then pressed vol up :/

It's so weird to me. This is my first mobile phone with such a problem. I've tried all possibilities. USB 2.0, different cable, different pc, different OS. All I get is a restart when I hold down the up key and connect the cable! I have bought this D855 from Hong Kong and it's on rooted stock 10b and all I get from my 4G sim is E (EDGE) while I have activated lte in mobile network menu. So, trying another official rom is critical to me.

It's on stock as without download mode, I can't flash any rom or recovery.

It's more weird when even ADB can't send phone to Download mode. When I enter "adb reboot download", mobile is only rebooted.
By the way, I wonder if it's also so for you that when phone is off, if you connect charger, device is turned on! I remember when I had Samsung, when mobile was off and I connected charger, a battery icon showing the charge progress appeared only.

I asked about what recovery you had.. cous I had a similar problem with my samsung s3.. when phone off and conect cable the phone starts up. That depended on some bad recovery. Also on my old Htc desirehd things like that happened. But i dont have any deep knowleage about this..
Have you tried to use Lg's official update tool. Under that app you could update phone after a bad update. (Via the menu in app) It would be my next try.. that resets the whole phone but it could be the cure. Take a backup of the internal sd first.

Are you referring to this tool? http://www.lgtool.net/site/download.html I downloaded this and when I run it, it asks for a missing smartcard!!
If not, please offer me a link to your mentioned tool.

No.. Go to the lg website. Go to support and navigate to lg pc sync app. Dl that app.. About 200 mb.
Install and look for the earlier mentioned option.

You can also reflash the download mode partition with dd if you are rooted.

[Q] Cannot Restore G3 To Stock Using Flash Tool

I tried to use a volume fix by changing the values in some system files on my rooted G3, rebooted and got stuck at the LG Bootlogo. Been trying lots of things, finally used this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647 but the flash tool fails at 14 seconds saying failure to enter download mode. I have a D851C on T-Mobile, it is in download mode when I run the program and no change occurs on the screen save for the text log at the bottom. Upon booting into DL mode, it says USER B94. After unplugging and plugging it back in to start the unroot it changes to USER S0.0 AS0.0 B94 UHS then on the next line S U LG-D851 04.4.2 Hrev_10 and the next D85110c. It takes a good 50 seconds for the flash tool to change from saying awaiting connection, and then at 14 seconds it looks like the photo. The names of the dll and tot I am using are, respectively:
LGD851_20140611_LGFLASHv160
LGD851AT-01-V10c-310-260-JUN-20-2014+0
Yes I have set the port to 41 in device manager.
What the heck is wrong?
Someone please help I was supposed to fly out of state today but now I don't think I can without a phone and I can't afford a new one, I'm a student
Did you put your phone in download mode? It's not broken you just need to successfully flash it. It says download mode failed so here's a simple way to enable it if you ate having trouble. Pull out the battery then hold volume down and put it back it and plug in the cable. This should be done in a relatively fast manner to enable it if you are having issues getting into download mode.
Edit I know you said you put it in DL mode but I had a similar issue with my F400S so its worth a try.

Did you try using LG PC Suite --> Tools --> Fix Upgrade Problems?

LG PC Suite didn't recognize it before, does it need to be in download mode when I do that? Or is there another recovery mode?

PC Suite won't recognize it if you don't use the correct version. The latest from LG's site is in fact the wrong version. You need the version that's about 223mb in size. Sorry, I'm not sure of the version and am currently busy fixing my phone with it, so can't check. Perhaps someone would kindly supply you with a download link.

Will it work even if my phone doesn't show up in explorer? My pc makes a sound when it is plugged in and unplugged in Download Mode but the only thing so far to recognize it is flash tool. If you can check the version please let me know but I'll look for it
Did you try a different USB port on your computer? Drivers get honked up easily using flashing tools and sometimes using a different port, or even a different USB cable can fix your problem. More likely another usb port, but I've also had a bad cable as well.

That's the problem is the only cable that works is the one that came with it, and I've used 3 of my 4 on my laptop, so I doubt it's the port

Also you have to realize the phone doesn't turn on. I get the LG logo, download mode, or factory reset. That's it
If that is the only cable that works - my guess is there's something probably wrong with the micro usb jack on your phone.. it shouldn't be that finicky where only 1 of 4 cables would work. If you do a warranty return, you might get lucky anyways. Several folks have posted on XDA that the stores where they returned phones were either clueless or didn't care about the status of the root code. Of course, YMMV.

You misunderstand: The cable that comes with the G3 is the only one GUARANTEED to work with these operations. Has nothing to do with the jack. Getting a new one in the mail tomorrow, can't tell if it's rooted if they can't access the filesystem

Flash stock zip kernel from artmod thread.
the problem is. I can't upload any files to mobile phone. if i connect to pc, it turns on, goes to recovery, so I click on mount storage, and other mount option, nothing happens. My computer detects phone as F180L with a exclamation mark.
If i go to download mode, and then try to flash any KDZ file from all the f180 KDzs. It gives me errors.
LG Support Tool on entering serial number and model name says "check out serial number and model"
ADB never detects my phone. So I can't upload anything.
No option to upload files via SD Card.
ok, so I have no clue what happened :crying: phone was in download mode. I did nothing, but only installed LG Support Tool USB driver, while the mobile connected.
Then I installed Microsoft .net framework 4.0. And my phone is now qhs_usbdload. it's officially bricked now. I have no clue what happened. This is all that happened before I restarted and selected "reboot to bootloader" and its dead. So there's nothing left to do but throw it out
WTF OKAY! I have no clue!
But, after seeing that qhs usbdload. (i have seen that before with other phones). I complete lost any hope.
So I for feeling contended, downloaded qpst, and emmc software download, and selected MPRG8064.hex and msimage.bin.
Then like I expected it threw an error "image download failed, cookie if present not received"
so I lost hope disconnected my phone and put it there. After a few minutes thought I should try one last time.
so I connect it my pc and VIOLA it turns ON!?
now I have that same rebooting to recovery problem. I have no explanation for whatever has happened to phone in past 3 hours. I have been with phones for years. This is the weirdest thing to happen ever :angel:
Now someone, please help me?
1. Why is this in Development section?
2. You can't mount internal SD as USB storage. Use adb push or adb sideload instead, that will help you to get the files onto your phone.

Some user got that problem before. I am not sure about how they solve it but I guess that they flash their original KDZ back. If your phone can enter download mode, you should try LG Flash tool 2014 and flash your original kdz to restore incorrect system image.
About adb cannot find your phone, try to remove adb driver from device manager and reinstall LG usb driver.

My phone is acting weird. Sometime it would start. Sometime the red light would blink. Sometimes the red light wouldn't blink at all. Then sometimes, it starts. And then it doesn't.
I have no clue what is going on with it.
But it went to download mode many times again, it would go to fastboot, bootloader, recovery etc. Then sometimes it will not respond to any buttons at all! I know its battery is down, but idk if it's charging or not?
I don't know how to know whether the phone is charging or not. I left it charging for 30 minute, and it didn't even buzz. :crying:

One thing you can do (I've done it in the past a couple of times) is to crack your phone open, disconnect the battery, and charge it with an external charger. That would at least give you a full battery to start with...
Regarding the charging problems, I had that once. I was able to startup the phone by simply using a 2A charger instead of the LG's 1.2A.
When I had this issue it was charging while in recovery. Please look at this post and flash your kdz.

thanks. but after charging it. I couldn't turn the screen off because it goes in recovery. I turned off the phone after good 30 minute charging. Then went to sleep. And in the morning I connected it to pc. by holding volume buttons for download mode. It didn't go to download mode. Only it's red light is blinking. and no display.

Hi, regarding that. I was able to sideload exitrecovery.zip file. It goes to 100% then nothing happens. Nothing happened on phone screen as well.
And can you send me link to that stock zip kitkat? i have a miui.zip and few other roms that I have not tried. thanks
Edit: also what should I do about adb, am i doing correct?
Becuase in adb devices, my device is displayed with deviceID sideload
And i have only pasted adb folder, with a dll and a zip file, there is nothing else, do I need to install SDK?
I tried lg flash tool 2014 again, and it flashed, I swear yesterday I tried to flash it, and after clicking on it, it never showed me country and language selection menu, so it would sit there and do nothing. now I don't know how but it did it :laugh:
thank you so much you'all

Help recover completely bricked G3 (D855)

I was trying to put TWRP on my G3 (D855) but it failed for some reason but the stock recovery was deleted. So there was no recovery in phone. I gave it to a friend to try putting TWRP in it, he also failed and somehow corrupted the partition. He said the phone is completely bricked now and is not even turning on.
Any suggestions what I should do?
Too few details provided.

I noticed one thing. Even though on the cover it says D855, but when I opened the phone, on the mother board I saw D851. What does this mean?
The motherboard should be right, its tmobile. Did you have fm radio on it? If not then tmobile for sure

Bootloop, download mode and TWRP not working

I flashed Fulmic rom for my G3 D855 today. Everything was well when I discovered until I discovered, that camera app is not showing. The fix was to download the fix from Fulmics app and flash it via TWRP. I downloaded the fix and rebooted to install the fix. After reboot I got stuck in bootloop, when I try to access recovery, it goes to TWRP first logo and stays there. Nothing happens. When I try to access download mode, it shows the first download mode logo and stays there. Computer detects the phone in device manager as "LGE Android MTP Device". LGUP shows model as "Unknown". Cant do nothing more. Every help is appreciated.
Are you sure you flashed the fix ? Because it seems like you flashed something else that messed up your device

I have tried this method also. Every time at 4% it says, error, remove battery and then reconnect and turn on phone. After that, connection with pc is lost.
Also, when I try to get to Download Mode, it should go then to Firmware update screen to? Am I right about that? If so, then it doesn't go to Firmware update screen.
But I tried it with a kdz I had in my computer and had used before. Downloading .tot file atm.

When you say it asks,do you mean in an other window it shows "Select device model" and it has options down? Right?
I got it sorted out, I guess you have to install the drivers again. The thing is, after it installs and everything... It turns itself off after the cable is unplugged from the phone... I see the battery has swollen up inside and is in precarious condition... I tried doing the procedure again but the phone booted up... After a minute it shut down again and back to the download mode...
Is it the battery or what?
One more thing, after I unplug the phone it doesn't turn on other than if I connect it with the PC

The battery should have a problem...
Try inserting an other battery.(if you have)
When it finishes with flashing don't unplug it from your PC!..
(The guy that had this phone had messed up with System partition files really bad...)
P.S:In lguptool did you select CSE flash?
The LG up I worked with didn't give me that option, it gave me the option to either update, refurbish and another one... I chose update so it allowed me to choose the kdz you linked here for me... It did it's thing then booted up and everything, when I unplugged it, it turned off and won't turn on.. Then I plugged it in again and it only showed the same download mode that I shared the image with you...
Try using one of these tools.
