Hello. I tried to install Android Pie on my LG G7 ThinQ and it failed. When turning on the phone it's showing only one thing (attachment). Tried to enter to download mode, but it's going back to this screen from attachment. Tried LG Up but it's not recognizing device. Can somebody help me? I don't want to give it back on warranty or to support.
hello, the same thing happened to me, I wanted to flash the 9.0 with lgup and when I reached 98 I launched error, my lg g7 now only enters fastboot mode and with the cmd I can execute commands like fastboot boot and fastboot devices, but lg up not recognize. Someone to help please ??
Here is picture
You can try with usb connected, press and hold volume up before restart to download mode to LGUP flash again (try with 8.0 or fresh download fw).

My phone is in this state I read the forums about the problem, but no luck man. Only octoplus box ...
TO ADMIN -- I believe this thread is to be merged with the "LG G7 - Fastboot bootloop [SOLVED]" one - this is the same issue...

Same with me when cross-flash from HK region to EU region, always to flashboot or recovery mode.
With usb cable connected with PC (your G7 always in fastboot mode) force restart by press and hold volume down + power until screen turn off, release two button and fast press and hold volume up before LG 7 logo. My G7 boot into download mode.

hi
- While holding Volume Up key connect your phone to PC using USB Cable (Don’t leave volume key while connecting)
- Release the Volume UP key as soon as the phone goes into Download Mode.

Guys, I called you in one message as it seems we all had experienced the same drastic issue with the phone got bricked on the update process. We all probably used LGUP and on the update somewhere on the %'age progress (in mine it was 91%) the process stopped so we needed to force reboot and after that we got only fastboot menu.
Once trying to enter download mode, upon connecting to USB, the download mode title frame blinks for a split/second and it goes all way into fastboot only, correct?
Having said that - I believe it is vital not only to update how you resolved (or still resolving) the issue but how it happened we stepped in that deep sh!t overall...
On my particular case - I had bought the phone with branded oreo software, what I wanted was to (a) force-upgrade to Pie (as the brand operator is still very late with the Pie update) and (b) unbrand to open or brand Orange as I wanted the VoLTE and VoWiFi working. I used the LGUP 1.14 and tried uppercut but it did not work in my case (probably because of antivirus software something was permanently blocking) so I found the common_dll file which resolved the issue and the progress started. However, as mentioned - at 91% it stopped and phone died. I moved it to LGE service, they replaced the mainboard as it is under warranty. I suspect I used some sort of invalid DLL file, probably that caused the process crashed.
As a postmortem - I regret that in panic I force-rebooted the phone, it was certain the system won't start and now I realize it was also a high risk it will be bricked but you know... just tried to resolve instantly. I wonder what would happen if I would not reboot but leave the phone in download mode (still hold on 91% but still alive) and in that state would connect the phone back into LG Bridge software or LGEtool - possibly it would be recognized by the firmware auto-flasher inspected or fixed and it would reboot itself properly into download to resurrect...who knows.
I am looking forward your status guys - where are you with the fix and actually how did you go into that trouble - so what flash method you used ? You know, to avoid that scenario in future...

I investigated the problem of why it stopped at 98% and it is because of the issue of the ddl file, before any flash by lg up it is better to prevent and replace the common ddl file, which I did not do. just in case, I still have the phone in fastboot mode, I have not been able to find a solution yet.
So.. Ive actually managed to get outta fastboot and into quallcom9008 mode.. (Deliberately..) But.. Cant do **** ib that mode just yet.. Software not available.
Now i read about resetting while in thar mode via test points. Will let ya know if there comes anything from that..
(Btw... To get into 9008 mode.. Hold power and vol down while in that gawd aweful fastboot tutorial menu.. And tap the vol up button fast and repeatedly.. If it resets and you have a blank screen.. Ya there..!! If it just resets to.. Well. Fastboot.. Ya didnt rap fast enough.. Do it again.
To exit 9008 mode.. Just hold power and vol down till bootlogo comes up..
It aint much. But maybe some1 more clever can use that info and get us outta that gawd damn menu.. plz..
If you are stuck in fastboot loop see this post:

I hope you fixed your issue but if anyone needs it here: go into edl mode and flash laf_a and laf_b. these are download mode files. I will attach these files later today

Hi guys, so my problem is I was installing a new rom on my rooted D855. everything was going along fine but then the process stalled. I left it running for 15 - 20 minutes but it was still on 33%. I tried holding the power button in desperation which shut the thing down. Now when I try to factory reset it goes to the prompt screen, I answer yes, then it asks me to confirm. from there however it goes to LG splash screen and eventually a black screen with Fastboot mode started. -reset- portcharge -reset- portcharge fastboot: processing commands in the top left corner. That's it.. If I try download mode it goes to the download screen and then to the black screen as described above.
Sounds pretty ordinary but if there is an answer out there I am sure one of you guys will know it.
TIA
i had some similar other issue and the only way i got out of it, is by using the lg flashtool 2014 and the KDZ file appropriate to your version
there is a thread with a step by step instructions.
you launch the flashtool, then insert the kdz file (original stock rom) then you put your phone into download mode (making sure in windows/controlpanel/devicemanager/ports - comp port 41 for the device driver)
you press volume up and plug it into the pc, the pc sees the phone and it starts reflashing the custom rom to your cell.
i presume that as soon as your download mode is working by flashing whatever command is corrupt and makes your phone black should be bypassed by then
i hope it helps - look for the thread how to flash the lg
Thanks I'll give it a shot. Not sure device manager is seeing it properly. I'll have a play and see. Thanks again for the reply
O.K here's the thing, my phone is seen in device manager as a Samsung Android Phone. Under the details tab it shows it connected via USB Modem Phone ADB Port. There is no option to change the port to 41. Anybody who can help I would be very grateful......
Hello，everyone,i got a problem that i cant enter fastboot and recovery mode.
today ,i installed CM12 22/7 upgrade ,and before i install this ,i did a backup of build.prop because i have V4A and every time i upgrade CM i have to change this build,prop ,so i want make a copy and when i finish upgrade i can just move that file without do anything ,and everything goes well, i installed upgrade and installed V4A driver ,it says i need restart,so i restarted,but after LG logo ,screen turn black, cant enter system ! i thought maybe i flash CM one more time can repair this,so i press POWER and volume down,but,nothing happen ,after LG logo,and screen turn black,and i try to enter fastboot mode ,its the same ,when LG logo shows screen turn black.......
My phone is LG d855,and my English is bad,i hope you can understand
Can anybody help me?
did you try entering Download mode?
Phone stuck in bootloop, help please
wrong trhead
Are you sure you there is no fastboot and no download mode?
You can enter download mode by pressing and holding the “Volume Up” and connecting the USB cable from phone to PC
If it works then you Soft bricked it...And you can use this guide to fix it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

BUT if that does not work then you Hard bricked the phone
I had that problem because of flashing with faulty win8 drivers...no download mode or fastboot, all i got was security warning and bootloop. The only way you can fix hardbrick is through JTag, but i don't know if you can fix it without paying someone money, because you need special hardware to do it. You can find people on ebay that can fix it but it will cost you 30-50$.
I sent mine to warranty...they didn't know what was wrong with it and couldn't fix it...and so they just replaced the motherboard. If you have a warranty then send it and do NOT!! tell them you flashed it or rooted it. Tell them you don't know what happened...The chances of them finding out is very small.
If ebay and/or warranty not work, then there was an article on the Internet to fix a hard brick but for some reason it is now password protected...i do not know why....You can send the owner an email so he can give you the password.

i cant enter download mode,always turn black after LG logo
Disconnect cable from pc and phone
Press power + vol -
You will get first black screen, keep pressing until lg logo appears and it shuts off completely.
Then press just vol + and reconnect cable to computer.
That should leave you in download mode or fastboot.

FIRST install the DRIVER from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
See in the part 2015 with TOT files...
(if any other drivers are present, uninstall them and do a clean install)
You need to get in Download mode to be able to fix it without having to open the phone.
1. Unplug phone from pc and power off
2. Remove back cover and remove the battery
3. Plug the micro-usb cable into the phone
4. Press and HOLD the VOLUME DOWN (make sure you press it from the edge, far from the powerbutton)
5. Put the battery - Dont let go of Volume Down yet.
6. Connect the micro-usb cable to the pc - Dont let go of volume down yet
7. Wait for the pc to recognize it, and the download mode appears on the phone, now you can let go of volume down
Repeat again, first time might not work.

You're still soft bricked, just force your device into download mode and use LG Flash Tool to return back to stock and start again.

If I remember correctly (please check threads here, it's been a long time since I've used this device, so memories are fading), download mode is activated when you press Volume Up (or both of volume buttons) and insert USB cable. I know that E98x has some strange button sequences, like rebooting to recovery is a two step operation (Volume Up + Power until navbar blinks, then power button twice, that's the only way mine wanted to boot into recovery), so please check around.
As far as USB connection issues, don't use USB3+ ports and if you're on Windows 8.1+ and later, run with Administrator privileges. I never experienced that one (used LGFlashTools from inside VirtualBox running Win XP for all my needs, I'm not a Windows user), so can't really help much but forums are full with explanations how.

Thank you very much...now the phone is back to initial state. This what i've done:
1. Download LG Flash tool from http://lgflashtool.com/
2. Download LG USB Drivers from http://lgflashtool.com/
3. Install LG flash tool and LG USB Drivers
4. Plug usb cable to phone
5. Hold volume buttons and then plug the usb cable to PC (i use win 10)
6. Voila, the Download Mode icon is showed up
7. Run LG Flash Tool (Administrator privilege) & follow the instruction (i use e988 v20c stock firmware)
8. Phone back to normal (only if you use the correct stock firmware)
A very big thanks to ShadySquirrel
Hopefully this thread can also be used as reference for anyone who has the same issue as i had

Try entering download mode with phone disconnected from USB cable.
Also try to see if it gets recognized by LG-UP or by LG Bridge. These 2 softwares don't need download mode to be able to flash, just the phone to be recognized on some PORT.
Try also factory reset hard menu. Also try switching between Slot A and Slot B. There is also this backup method. Phone is not dead on one of those slots.
If nothing works (but slot a slot b should 100% work) , wait for the firehose, it's just around the corner. That will restore the phone back 100%.
For more info search v50thinq on telegram app. :good:
I can t get to download as it freezes and without the USB cable it doesn't even try and enter. I appreciate the recommendations. I was thinking of the a/b seit hbut without the use of fastboot I am at a loss of how to switch between the two as I thought the system chose and the switch happened upon rebooting once a system had been selected ie as in turning the unit off after loading the os set a flag to go to the opposite system upon completing the inftframs and boot sequence.

So, if the device, as you say, lost power during an update like that, then almost assuredly you have at least one, if not numerous corrupted partitions.
And, it's specific partitions on the device that allow it to enter download mode. One of these most know about or have heard of is the laf partition. But other have to be there also for it to work, I don't remember exactly what the others off the top of my head, but that info is easily found.
The key thing you need (or any others commenting same prob), is to be able to enter EDL mode and have qfil installed and recognizing the device. If you can get that far, it would be easy to find the correct partitions you could flash with qfil and then immediately go from qfil to download mode.
Many many people have done this. Just get qfil set up (see guides section) and get the device recognized. that takes some effort but it's def doable.
