Using drivers is useless since you cant make connection to pc on recovery mode because navigating and then selecting doesnt work.. try pressing your powerbutton hard enough until your phone reboots.. if it doesnt work you need to send to repair service to replace powerbutton. Also jig doesnt work on galaxy s7>= without pressing powerbutton

So I can easily get into recovery mode, but that is it. I have tried both up and down while holding power. up and down and home while holding power. down/home/power and up/home/power all numerous times and the only thing I can get into is recovery mode. Degugging is on, and odin recognizes phone. Could this have something to do with the tmobile softkeys version instead of the internationals home"button". I also tried the holding up and down volume while odin is running and that didn't work either. I'm guessing i have to install the android sdk and use adb commands. as a last resort unless someone else can tell me what im doing wrong. As I don't own a jig/ dongle. am I the only one who has this problem?

Don't press power at all. Turn the phone off. Now just press both vol+&- and insert your USB cable that is already hooked up to your pc running odin.
Thanks You Very Much I am A f#&!ng retard. That worked perfectly.
yeah you can only go into DL mode when the USB cable is connected to your phone. So it should work when you're connected, phone is off, and then you hold +/- and power.
BUT people find it best to do what killa said
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.

oh well that might be the reason why. il try it out..im using windows 7 and it was working before i wiped everything.
link me to that fix if anything thanks
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?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
hi. I encountered a problem on my phone that doesn't boot properly.
When i tried to switch on my phone it showed at first the welcome msg "Samsung S4 mini gt-i9192" then after that, a pitch black screen, could not properly boot. But i learn that it does not turns off after the screen turns all black, i have to press the power button first to turn off the phone.
This problem started when i installed an app with some compatibility problems.
I wanted to root my phone hoping that can solve the problem, but then again a problem occurred when i tried to connect my phone to my laptop. It fails to install MTP usb device to my computer. I tried connecting it again provided that samsung kies was installed but again failed to connect my phone. Therefore i cant root my phone because i cant copy the files needed to root to my phone sd card.
I tried reinstalling kies, installing mtp drivers but nothing happened. I tried also restoring the previous boot image, restoring factory settings using recovery mode. But then problem still exist.
And fyi my phone can't mount any external sd card using recovery mode. And i think it was not in a debugging mode.
Phone: samsung s4 mini gt-i9192
firmware: i dont know
So basically, the problem is:
my phone wont boot,
i cant connect it to my pc
and i cant root it.
How should i root or even flash my phone when i cant connect to my computer? Do you have any idea on how to solve this problem? Any solutions or suggestions would be much appreciated. tnx.

Have you tried putting the phone in download mode (Volume Down + Home + Power) and then connecting it your p,c , if not give this a shot it should pick up the drivers , once done , take out the usb cable hold the power the button to shut down and boot up .
since you have not mentioned your OS am assuming it is windows , try taking out Kies via some software like revo uninstaller which will remove all directories plus all registry entires then reinstall it if you really need it.

dial *#0808# from your cell this would take you in usb settings, tick both mtp+adb , reboot , if they art already ticked uncheck them and check them again.

yah, thats what im thinking. i just brought this here hoping to solve this problem without going to a shop. thanks anyway.
aac. To me put your phone in download mode then use moborobo(a windows software) . Just open it and it will install the driver. If it dies not work then use adb installer . Remember you should have only any one of the software at one tim means either moborobo or kies or adb installer

btw have you tried to boot the phone in safe mode ?? if it boots in safe mode it is still fixable without going to service center. power down , power up+ tap the menu button 3 or 4 times at THE same time to boot into safe mode if it boots into safe mode that means the hardware and OS is fine if it does not well then your out of luck.

Skip the reinsert battery part in your item #1:
1) Remove battery
2) Hold Volume plus and minus keys down
3) Insert USB cable while still continuing to hold down those two buttons.
WIthin 1-2 seconds you should have download mode. When download mode appears, then re-insert battery. For sure you're not going into charging mode with no battery to charge. This is the method I always use, and it always works (aside from hard-brick situations, but you can access battery charging mode/graphics, which surely means that ain't you).
not works.

What does your computer say when you plug it in? If in Windows check Device Manager and see what your phone is being recognized as. Can you access the phone's contents via USB cable from your computer? Does ADB recognize it at all? Or does it just loop like that, not starting?
Also, it sometimes takes several tries to get it into download mode, as if you're holding the buttons down and not timed just right, the phone ignore your attempt. Make sure you do not let go of both volume buttons even after you plug in the USB cable, you must continue to hold them down for a couple of seconds (until the DL mode appears). Don't even think about putting the battery back in until you see that download mode box. Try that a few times maybe? If it doesn';t work ,maybe you're boned.

remove battery and place it again. then press both volume+ and Volume - . By keeping pressed both buttons insert your usb cable. don't release pressed buttons until its in download mood. by the way install unified adb driver for android by koush if your using windows 8.1 otherwise lg official driver is ok
Hi, as the title says I am completely unable to boot to download mode on my E988. I have literally tried every possible combination of button pressing but nothing works. I have tried rebooting to bootloader from cwm but that doesnt work either, all it does is reboot, show the LG logo, then it reboots normally.. I have tried using terminal emulator to use the command "reboot download" but it doesnt work either, all it does is reboot, show the LG logo, then it reboots normally again. It seems that I am completely unable to access it at all. Any ideas?
Have you try with one end of the usb cord already plug in either your computer or phone, hold down both volume buttons, and plug in the other end. This was the only way down load mode would came on for me until I fixed the phone.
Yup I have. No combination of keys and button pressing seems to work for me it's odd.
Sent from my LG-E988 using XDA Free mobile app
To add on to my previous post, when I do the method whereby I hold vol + and vol - and plugging the usb cord in without my phone's battery, a message shows up when it is detected saying that a "...usb device has malfunctioned...". My phone will then just keep showing the lg logo over and over again causing the message to pop up again and again as the phone is detected and then not detected and the cycle just repeats itself. I have tried to reinstall lg drivers but nothing seems to work...
Edit: It would seem that the phone is indeed trying to boot to download mode whether I use the key combination or command, but it is unsuccessful in doing so and just reboots. Has anyone ever encountered this problem?
