I got a D618 and it suddenly turned off and when I tried to turn it back on, it just bricked and keeps bootloop-ing. The phone is stuck on the LG logo and then the screen went off, then get back to the LG logo and suddenly the screen go off and so on.
Already tried Factory Reset but can't because of the LG logo-screen go off loop, also tried LG Tools but can't get into Recovery Mode.
Any help?
Have you tried pulling out the battery for a couple of seconds, then put it back and try the hard reset (aka factory reset) button combination?
To be honest that was the first thing I did.
I don't have TWRP as recovery, can't get into recovery mide either
How about download mode?

Can't either. When I tried to get into Download Mode the phone keeps doing the same, it's like the D618 keeps restarting once the LG logo appear
Do you have adb enabled on the device?
If not, then try this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/general/guide-unbrick-bricked-wrong-aboot-img-t3128896
Honestly, I have never seen a bootloop that affects all boot modes...
Are you sure you got the hard reset and the download mode key combinations right?
Hard reset: Press and hold Vol- and Power, once the screen comes on, release Power for half a second, then hold both of them for a few seconds, until you see the hard reset menu.
Download mode: Make sure you have LG's drivers installed. Hold the Vol+ button, plug a data-enabled USB to your PC and your phone, all while holding the Vol+ button. Keep holding it until the phone enters download mode.

It's been 3 days and still the same.
The phone was working all right, I didn't flash a new ROM.
Yes, I tried all key combinations. Tried the hard reset key combination, it shows me the Factory Reset confirmation message but once I set YES it enter the bootloop again. Also tried the Download Mode, but once I get into the phone just restart and go into bootloop.

That's the first thing I thought but I tested the battery with a multimeter and it's all ok.

It is probably not the battery, but mine just let the phone reboot when it gets a little hot. There is no problem with the voltage in normal use.

I have new galaxy tab 10.1 which I am planning to root, however I cannot get unit to enter download mode. I have tried unsuccessfully at least 20 times using the recommended method of turning the unit completely off then holding the vol-/power buttons. I press the vol- slightly ahead of the power button and hold. All I get is the samsung splash looping over and over with no download or recovery menu icons popping up after the samsung splash. Once I let go, the tab will go into android recovery mode with the option to reboot which takes me to where I started. I have followed all of the tutorials to the tee. Is there another way to get to download mode? Should I take it back if this indicates a more serious problem.
I have also done a factory wipe/reset to no avail. Will vol+ / power do anything?
thanks for your interest I would appreciate any help.

I seem to recall that at least one variant swapped the button around. In any case, it can't hurt to try volume up.
Here's what you do - first, shut the device off by holding power down and waiting for the confirmation.
Then, when it's off, hold the volume down button (to the left side, next to the power button.) Holding that down, press and hold the power button. When you see it light up, release the power button but continue to hold volume down until you see the recovery/download icons.
If doing that doesn't work, try volume up and power. Good luck!
Ill try your suggestions. thank you

I'm having a similar problem. I have a galaxy tab 10.1 wifi that I rooted immediately when I got it. I havn't used it in about 4-5 months. I've already done all the odin and download stuff, but now i want to update my cwm and install a JB rom (I'm currently using aokp). I'm having a funny problem with it now -- Its difficult to turn on and impossible to get into download mode.
In order to turn on my tab, I have to hold down the power, connect the charging cable and get the download screen to turn on, then hold down the power again, wait for the screen to turn off, unplug the power and hold the power button until hopefully it turns on again. And this doesn't always work, sometimes I have to do it a few times. But whenever i've tried do the same thing that gets the tab working normally -- only holding the down volume as well as the power, Nothing happens.
Now once its on and working, things work great, but turning it on is a pain and its impossible for me to bring up the download or recovery option.
I've also tried to 'reboot to bootloader' and that doesn't work, although i can still 'reboot to recovery'
Any tips?

I have almost the exact same problem...
Volume up puts me into download mode and i can connect with Kies but it wont do the JB update
Voulume down ... nothing just boots
if i let it try to do the OTA update it will freeze at the boot screen and stay that way till the battery dies.
To get it to work again i have to do almost exactly what was decribe above..
I have no recovery options at all.
also my Tab is "NOT" rooted

I had a similar problem initially... the screen would just flash the "downloading" message, but the tablet wouldn't mount/connect to my laptop. Here's the solution:
1) launch odin
2) connect usb cable to laptop only
3) power down tablet
4) hold down the power volume down buttons together
5) when you see the downloading message, let go of the power button
6) let go of the volume down button (now just displays "downloading" message, but nothing happens
7) press volume UP
8) you'll get a message about installing custom ROMs and be given the option to do so by pressing volume UP again
9) the tablet mounts and connects to odin
10) from there follow the instructions for flashing recovery via odin (i.e., using PDA button...)
FYI just double check the guides again regarding download and recovery modes. In the thread title you mention Tab 2. This is the forum for the original Tab not the Tab 2. Both devices have different methods and key presses to access the various modes.

I have tried the power + volume down and plug the usb into the pc and I get to the Modified recovery where you can go into safe mode or factory reset, etc. I have done it before but it was Kingo root that did it. It's not working because I can't get to usb debugging mode. I need to go back to stock. Thanks

If you are using the LGUP method, you do not need to even go into download mode. If you are on the Verizon bootlooped screen you should be able to flash it back to stock right then and there.
Also there is no real recovery method that you can use so you will have to wipe it completely clean unless you have backups.
LGup says phone 'unknown' so it won't work. It worked yesterday. Not sure what happened. Tried the battery pull method but it still doesn't work.

I had the same issue with my VS990. LGUP was not seeing the phone. Using the Recovery menu via power + volume down, I booted my phone into USB debugging mode. LGUP was then able to recognize my phone. I then chose the tot file, chose upgrade instead of refurbished, and clicked start. It auto restarted my phone into Download Mode and started the upgrade. If you can get the phone into USB debugging mode, you'll be set.

Plug a USB cable into your phone with your phone powered off, hold down on the Vol Up button and plug the USB cord into your computer. It should immediately boot into download mode. I have verified this works on my Verizon V10.

Huh. I did mine from a regular boot up, but in debug mode. LGUP commanded it to reboot into DL mode for me.
Download mode on the LG V10 is achieved the same way all other recent LG smartphones have been. Power the device off completely by either the power menu or battery pull. Plug your USB cable into your computer. I didn't have an issue with USB 3.0. Hold Volume up and plug in the phone to the computer. Keep holding Volume up until the phone says download mode. It will do a small loading screen then it will change, this is normal. You can leave download mode by pulling out the battery or by holding the power button for 10-15 seconds.

I think you might be doing it wrong...
Download Mode -> Hold volume up, and plug into usb while STILL holding volume up, release once in download mode
Reset Screen -> Hold volume down + power, then plug into usb whil holding down buttons, release when screens comes on.
Ok, now for my problems. I got my phone into DM, used LGUP to install VS99026A_00_0118.kdz on my VS990. I let it go overnight. Came back to see it failed at about 73%, Error "can't get laf property", ever since then I can't get back into DM again, my LG splash screen will come up, then I get the android guy saying "Erasing...", then it reboots to splash screen again, waits a sec, then turns off. I managed to get into the reset screen with vol dn + pwr + usb method, tried to go into safe mode, now I have same issue getting back to that screen too.
Any help?
my lg v10 stops at download mode screen and don't go furhter
I have a V10 stuck in the bootloop. I was able to get it to boot past the lg screen 1 time but it very quickly rebooted again and is still stuck. And when I try download mode using LG Bridge, my computer says "no phone connected" and my phone stays on the "Download Mode" black screen. How can I fix it?

Now I have bootloop on lg screen.
When entering download mode phone says following and reboots automatically.
Secure booting Error
Error code: 1009

So I basically can't access download mode.
Only input I have is, when connected to PC, during bootloop, before it restarts it's visible as COM device
I think i f#@#ked up real bad guys
Did you try master reset with the power and volume down button?

When that happened to me after deleting some apps with Titanium (now I just freeze them ), I managed to install the TOT again with LGUP
Turn the phone on (I tried all ways, normal, reset, download mode, not sure which one worked), with LGUP running on the PC and USB cable connected, it worked after a few tries, good luck :good:
Try to get to recovery mode as follows:
Turn off your LG G4 (complete a full shut down process – press power key and select “power off” or press and hold power button for a few moments).
Then, press and hold Power and Volume Down buttons – don’t release the keys.
Keep pressing the buttons until the LG Logo is being displayed.
At that point release the buttons for about 1 second.
After that immediately press and hold Power and Volume Down keys pressed once more.
The recovery mode menu should be then displayed on your LG G4.
You can use Volume Up and Down buttons in order to scroll up and down and you can press Power key to select.
Choose “reboot system now” when you are ready to go back to Android OS.

Though, i'll try it nonethe less. I have short window before phone reboots, maybe it'll be enough

Leave the cable connected and LGUP on all the time while you try rebooting, and look at the PC to see if it recognized the phone, eventually mine connected
LGUP recognizes it but, says that it's an unknown device.

Hey, the exact thing happened to me because of the same reason XD
Anyway, I was able to get into download mode and reflash it on the first attempt.
As for the unknown device problem, IIRC it's an issue of LGUP that can be solved via something involving removing the battery.
I have a H900 and something weird happened. I've been rooted for a few months now with no real problems. Was listening to music the other day then my phone randomly restarted and got stuck in a bootloop. First thing I did was flash the root tot again but still stuck in a loop. Then I flashed the stock at&t tot and still the same problem. I'm not sure what to do.
Very strange
After flashing both .tot you have restored all partitions so should eliminate the issue
Try removing sdcard and sim, only things that stayed the same after flash
If this doesn't help (which is unlikely) then you may be toast... ?

Take out battery then put it in. Press POWER + VOL DOWN buttons. When you see LG logo release the POWER button (while still holding VOL DOWN) and press POWER button again.
You should see a screen which is asking you if you want to factory reset your phone.

Thought you were talking about something else. Already tried that and I'm still stuck.
After an unsuccessful update, the phone was bricked. It cannot be turned on, but when is connected to the PC, the Qualcomm Port 9008 port become active.
Is it possible to unbrick the phone via Qualcomm EDL mode or any other way?
What? What do you mean it cannot be turned on? Even when breaking a samsung phone's firmware, "download mode" should still be active and working. In that case, you have to reflash a whole firmware again. Unfortunately, there's a chance that you will have to give up on your data.

I actually found a solution. I left the battery on the phone to be completely discharged. Then I pressed 3 buttons (volume (+), volume (-) , and power) and connect the computer via USB cable with the phone. The phone went into an emergency recovery mode. I tried to use Odin, but didn't work out. After pressing the power button (for 5 sec.) The phone restarts and the update started over.
Nevertheless, thank you.

Try entering download mode.
Power off your device.
Press and hold volume up and down buttons at the same time, then connect it to your PC while you still hold them. It will automatically enter download mode.
