Help on entering download mode, TCL L32S6500 - Philips, Sony, TCL Android TV

Hi! I am trying to enter the download mode of my TCL L32S6500 TV to install an update.img with root included, but none of the ways I found worked for me.
I already tried:
Pressing the power button for 10 seconds when starting the TV
Pressing the power button until the lights blink (they never blinked)
repeat the two previous methods unplugging and plugging in the tv again.
I also tried with the USB plugged in and I still can't enter
What else can I do? I'm already running out of ideas
Edit: I just finished trying to enter the recovery, download, and fastboot mode from ADB, but none worked, it restarted normally

Have you found how to enter the DL mode? I was wondering the same.

[Q] Cannot enter Download Mode

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

Completely unable to boot to download mode

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?

Corrupted droidboot and recovery

Hi XDA, need some help. Please? My Zenfone 2 ZE550ml got froze so I went and turned it off but when I was turning it back on it stucks on the USB Logo. Tried to go to the droidboot menu and recovery but it won't. Tried press and hold vol up& power then release power when phone vibrates but it wont do anything. I downloaded adb, intel driver and system (droidboot.img, recovery..img, boot.img, system.img) to do the adb flashing but it wont detect my phone and I think its because i cant set it to adb, droidboot, fastboot, recovery, usb debugging etc. Kept getting 0 device on the adb device list on the CMD when I was doing adb devices. I've been trying to do this for almost 3 weeks now and tried almost every possible solution offered by the internet but still unable to. Tnx in advance XDA
When you hold power and vol up, was the phone already plugged to the PC? I experienced that it won't go to recovery if it's plugged.
You can revive your unit using method 1 of rooting (fastboot of pre-rooted system.img).
Same like me,,i have this problem and my imei number not real,just sim 2 can use,,but now dont have sulotions,,everyday i search at google,,but no answers,,so bad

LG G8s Bootloop after rooting with Magisk

Today I installed magisk with the help of this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g8/how-to/rooting-g8s-guide-t4044193 . It worked and I had root access. After some hours I restarted my phone and now it's in bootloop. It can't shutdown and it's restarting endlessly (pressing the power button for 20 seconds shut it down but it immediatly restart). I can only enter the hard reset menu (by holding volume down and power button, is there a combination for recovery mode with volume up?)
I know I need a way to enter fastboot mode to reflash the normal boot partition from the original kdz or the entire kdz but I can't. neither adb devices or fastboot devices finds the phone and the phone it's not in recognized by the PC so no COM port assigned. Tried to follow this https://www.mylgphones.com/lg-g8-th...nbrick-restore-lg-g8-thinq-back-to-stock.html
Update: I entered the fastboot mode. I plugged the usb-c cable while clicking the volume down button while the phone was off. Now I will try to flash the boot_a.image from the original kdz file
Flashing the original boot_a.image worked. I will now try to understand why this happened

S343 boot loop? After firmware install

I knew I shouldnt of done it. Its just my luck.
Tonight I installed the R112.....V8-R851T02-LF1R112 CFW posted a few days back.
Previous to this I had V8-R851T02-LF1V453.018444 (stock)
Install went fine. Booted up, I went through set up. I enabled developer options and enabled adb. My phone could not find the tv to sideload anything so I restarted the TV. Powered down, then back on. But flickering every few seconds along with the white light on the bottom.
The bottom doesn't work for anything. I found if I unplug it and plug it back in then immediately hold down the button the light will start flashing like its installing a firmware. I tried to reinstall the one I previously mentioned. It blinked for a bit but then back to the same flickering on and off.
No help expected, anything GREATLY appreciated.
I tried to include as much info as I could.
Thanks
First, R112 is not for your TV.
If you can enter TV setting , reflash firmware by "Local update" with V458 OTA file ,posted here:

or try reflash by TV power button.
No IMG file released for S343.
Hello Stasiof, Thanks for replying.
I fell asleep last night waiting for the file to transfer to USB.
This morning before work, I unzipped all files onto the root of a FAT32 USB stick, put it in, started the TV holding down the button. It flashed like it was updating, but very briefly. I would say about 15 seconds. And nothing afterward. A blank screen still. Was I not supposed to unzip?

Do not unzip, copy to USB as downloaded.
