This may be a bit late, but I have had the same issues in getting it into flash mode. There is a button inside the case (if you take the back off) then press that and hold the reset button, you'll get it into a different mode. On Windows 7 it recognises it as a disk called VDfu. From here however I have no ideas on what I can do to flash it.
I previously had a childpad that I flashed successfully with the rockchip flash tool, however with this mode on this childpad I can't get it to recognise the device in that way ...
There does appear to be some success with this, however steps don't exist for the flash procedure that I can find ...

Phone Bricked on "Download Mode"

Hi All,
I explain my problem, this is a day I look in vain.
Yesterday trying to Flash the ClockworkMod Recovery on my LG, I got an error "secure booting error" and no way out of.
So I tried some manipulation '(turn off, tweak in the keys, also in vain)
So I learned about the net and I could see that we could inject a new rom thanks to KDZ FW upd.exe program and a stock rom (via the phone in download mode)
Once the download mode enabled, I run the program, I choose "cs_emergency" and "3gqct" and my stock rom.
Once "Launch software udapte" launched, the program stop to work ! No way, it also looks like the software does not recognize my phone (while Windows yes, when I plug it, a small sound, and notification in the status bar "ready device has to be used")
I am despairing, I was told that as I had the Download mode, there was something to do.
Thank you to you for your future help!
Regards

If you can still power download mode all is not lost.
Follow THIS or THIS tutorial... also you may try LG's tool (emergency firmware recovery).
Also consider THIS FAQ for other questions. Hope you'll be able to solve your problem.

Thanks a lot for the reply !
I tried to inject the Stock rom with the LG support mobile Tools. (Recovery update) and the update was fine but when i restart my phone at the end of the process, same issue. Download mode and nothing else...
I already tried to use KDZ and the program doesnt want to work ... Same issue with LG PC Suite, The program doesn't recognize my phone when i plug it on the computer.
Anyone know what's the manipulation to exit out the download mode ?
Thanks

This is really wierd. Was your phone rooted and (bootloader) unlocked? Seems like your SBLs are messed up..

My phone was rooted but i don't think that the boatloader was unlocked... I will try to launch KDZ once again.

Problem Solved !
You have to wait many time when you clic to the "Launch" button on KDZ (approximatively 1h for me !)
You think that the program doesn't work but it work !
Thanks a lot

HELP, having troubles with my note 2

Hi, so i got a samsung note 2 (GT-N7100) that someone gave me. Its rooted so i wanted to unroot it and upgrade to kitkat android version.
But i'm having those problems:
1- If I try to install a ROM using ODIN 3, it requires to start the phone in download mode, i press the key combination (Vol Down, Power and Home) but instead of the download mode, a kind of "Factory Mode" appears.
2- If i try to update the OS from the SD, using the recovery mode, well it simply doesnt work.
3- If i try using Samsung KIES to try something, ... well... KIES JUST CAN'T detect my device (and i've tried reinstalling the Drivers, the KIES "solve conectivity problems" option, ...).
So well, im almos desperate and i dont know what else can i do, so i need help ASAP. Lets hope someone here can give me any idea to keep trying.
In any case, thank you all very much.

Lg Bridge problem (Update loop)

Hi guys, recently i started having problems with LG bridge update program, after i apply update called "H818N10B (12.14.2015)" and go for "check for updates" LG bridge offers same update again. As if last one didn't matter. On phone in software version persists as "V10b-SEA-XX". I tried to enter "recovery mode" to delete the cache thinking it may be cause of this problem, and i couldn't enter recovery. So i applyed "Factory reset" it didn't help either.
Thanks in advance, and with respect
Sars

UPDATE : Hi all, i was able to enter recovery mode via "adb reboot recovery" but was unable to do anything there. Only exclamation dead android guy was present..:crying: (I tried pressing power+volume up, pover+volume down nothing worked)

Still no change today.. Guess ill have to wait for someone to help.. I think i would have sorted this out buy now by soft rooting my G4 but i'm hesitant because of warranty..
Cheers

Hi, and tanx for your reply I did that couple of times thinking i might been using the wrong version of bridge but even after
reinstall and making sure version is for my model (h818n) strange problem persists. I even factory reset my phone 2x times (was able to enter factory reset screen because its out of "recovery mode" witch i can't enter)

Looks like i fixed update loop problem, you were right.. This time i did this for all other who could stumble on this problem.
1. Disconnect phone from pc
2. Uninstall all lg software used for your phone. (!not just bridge!)
3. Reinstall bridge without phone, plug it in and it will ask you to update usb drivers, do so.
4. End
Problem was in windows (my opinion) in driver conflict.. Sometimes when you have windows driver and driver on utility for some software they conflict..
(remember "good" old days when wifi usually had win driver and utility conflict)..
So it was reinstall after all just a thorough one.
Now lets find out why i have dead android guy and cant enter+control "Recovery mode" In 2nd part of solving this tread.
I will thank you for the hint + Help sampathkumar! :good: :good:

actually i have given you basic uninstallation scenario.but your analysis is good.one need to remove lg bridge along with lg drivers then reinstall.its better to restart before reinstalling.anyway problem is solved for you.thats great.

On latest OTA update, rooted with kingroot, now on SuperSu, stuck in booting at LG

LG gpad 8.3 vk810 . After installing a tweak for gaming graphics I stupidly bricked my tablet. Im new to rooting and android in general. The device gets stuck at LG symbol. I've tried clearing cache, and factory reset through holding the power and volume down. From what I've seen the next step would be to get it into download mode and use a LG utility, but I cant get it into download mode, also I imagine I need the right firmware once I do, Im very confused and just want to be able to use my tablet again. Thanks in advance.

Hi, did you look at my stickied guide for the VK810 in the General section?
Until you manage to get it into Download mode, there's nothing else to try. Perhaps some of the info I have in that thread will help you get that far.

In the General section, there's four "stickied" threads at the top. The thread I'm referring to has the title "[VK810.4G] [altev] most reliable way to root and install a custom recovery " and I also link to in my signature below.

I did look at it, I couldn't really find help there, truthfully I don't know what's going on even more than before haha. I cant get into download mode even by holding volume up and down then plugging in the usb, it just goes to the charging screen. Hell I wouldn't even mind no longer having root, I just wanted to be able to make use of my tablet while I'm still on contract till November. But thank you for the help. I believe I'm going to be using it as a paper weight until I can cancle that line through Verizon.

On the VK810, you don't hold both Volume buttons to get into Download mode. With the tablet off, you hold the Up Volume button only while plugging it into a PC's USB 2.0 port with the original cable. Keep holding the Up Volume button for a few moments and you should see the extremely dim "Download mode" logo in the center of the screen. Sometimes it's barely noticeable.
You already had the drivers installed, right? Then reboot the PC after installing the drivers.
The first time you plug the device in Download mode to a new USB 2.0 port, or can take up to 10 minutes for the PC to load the driver. You'll see the tablet listed in Window's Device Manager in the Modem section.
Pretty sure my guide I mentioned also tells the way to get into Download mode.

No sir, as my instructions give in both the threads for my ROM and my guide for the easiest way to root and put TWRP on the VK810, you'll still have TWRP. The only caveat is that every time you want to switch from being able to boot the 36B ROM, you'll have to temporarily re-downgrade your bootloader (aboot.img) to 4.2.2 *again*, just so you can get into TWRP. Then when you're done in TWRP, you have to flash the 36B bootloader zip that I provide otherwise the ROM won't boot. You'll continue to still be able to get into TWRP if you forget, until you remember to flash the 36B bootloader zip.
