I have been looking for a definitive listing of boot modes for the LG G3 LS990 but haven't found much.
What I've found so far is:
- Normal Mode.
- Recovery Mode.
- DIAG Mode.
- Download Mode.
- Safe Mode.
What I haven't found is any references to the following standard Android boot modes:
- Bootloader Mode.
- Fastboot Mode.
Except possibly in references to invoking these via ADB.
I also note that Download Mode is not a standard Android boot mode.
The big question is: What is the LG Download Mode, really? Is it Bootloader or Fastboot under a different name? Having invoked Download Mode, will the device then take fastboot commands from a console attached by USB? If so, which drivers must one run for the console (actually, the ADB server) to connect with the device?
If the LG Download Mode is not really Bootloader or Fastboot, then can one enter either of those modes from the device (e.g., by pressing hardware buttons)? (Bootloader may be available from the stock Recovery menu, I recognize). In the same vein, can one enter DIAG mode by pressing hardware buttons?

Hii I have a chinese yxtel g905 android mobile. I have rooted it and changed the build. prop file. After rebooting it the phone is not booting. It is just powering on and immediately after the boot animation is completed it is turning off and it also don't have fastboot mood or recovery option.I have tried this by long pressing all the possible combinations of buttons. So someone tell me friends is there any solution for such a problem?? Like feeding new build. prop file into the device or anything like that.
Some devices show no signs of activity in fastboot mode.
It might look like that the phone is switched off but it would actually be in fastboot mode.
To check, try power + volume up/volume down/both then connect the phone to the PC (with all the necessary tools and drivers) and type
Code:
fastboot devices
Into the command prompt.
It will show a list of all devices that are in fastboot mode and connected to the PC.
If you are able to confirm that the phone is now in fastboot, you can proceed to flash the stock ROM (given that you already have it) to your device.

Hi, in currently using a Samsung Galaxy A7 2016. I wanted to boot into download mode, so I tried the respective key combinations. However, the phone just boots back into the OS. I even tried using the adb command "adb reboot bootloader" but my phone just does a normal reboot. I have already enabled OEM unlock. Does anyone know how to boot my phone into download mode?
Have decided to root my phone with Adb and fastboot devices in Windows 10 and also installed drivers sucessfully and i can se my phone in cmd when i type fastboot devices.
Have unlock the bootloader in the phone and Enabled USB failure search in Advanced settings in developers mode.
When i loaded the Twrp file in cmd with adb i could copy and write the file to my fastboot device but when i reboot the phone into bootloader i se that download mode are disabled.
How can you unlock download mode ?
When i try to reboot into recovery mode i get the Android bot with a red triangle into it.
Im guessing that happens for i dont have download mode enabled and im wounder is the Twrp file on my phone or have that setting stopped this process?
Hi!
I'm still on my way ro root my Samsung Tab SM-T725, after upgrading to Android 11. Before Android 9 was on the device, succesfully rooted via Magisk. Updating and keeping the root status didn't work properly, the flashing process in Odin failed. Therfefore I had to flash the latest stock recovery, successfully. So now I have Android 11 on my device but no root. The bootloader is open and USB debugging enabled.
I tried the method described here. But the flashing in Odin failed again. So now I try to follow the instructions on the Magisk website. If I get everything right a processed recovery.img has to be flashed via ADB/Fastboot. That's new to me and I have questions.
- Is fastboot and download/recovery mode the same? Booting to the recovery and following "reboot to bootloader" leads to the turquois "Downloading" window. The same occurs when prompting "ADB reboot fastboot" e. g. Again the mentioned Downloading window shows up, nothing (special) with fastboot. Is that correct?
- Will therefore all fastboot commands not work? And only ADB is possible on my tablet? Is that common for Samsung devices?
- Can the flashing of the patched recovery.img (for Magisk) be done with ADB as well? Instructions always mention fastboot.
- My device doesn't show up in ADB when being in recovery mode. In normal mode it is listed when entering "ADB devices". Trying again in recovery mode the list stays empty - and all other commands have no effect. Current Samsung and Google USB drivers are installed. How could that be solved? Without ADB (perhaps fastbood) running in download mode I shouldn't be able to flash (and root the device) as planned.
I hope I described everything properly. I'm not that Android expert - but successfully managed to root a couple of devices over the years.
Samsung devices dont know of Fastboot mode. But you can run them in either Recovery or Odin / Download mode or Normal mode.
Running Samsung devices in Download mode you can flash ROM or update system in the Android device. When the Samsung device has entered Download mode, the device will boot from external sources. You can also make the stock ROM replaced in Download mode.
ADB mode is the Normal mode.
In Recovery mode ADB - with some exceptions - isn't working
Because your device is a Samsung one the Google USB drivers are senseless. Remove them to avoid conflicts.
Thanks for the quick and helpful response!
That makes clear why the tablet didn't show up in ADB. And that all rooting efforts for Samsung devices via that way should be obsolete. Strange enough that Magisk doesn't mention this on their instruction site.
So I'll have to try on with flashing a patched AP via Odin - and hope for a solution for my fail-problem.
I'm trying to root my Lg X Venture, I cannot get into fast boot or edl mode with hardware buttons or using adb commands on my computer. It will boot to android no matter what. I do have oem unlocking and usb debugging on. The phone has be factory reset a few times. This is my first time trying to root.

This don't work? When your phone is off, you plugin the usb cable or not before you press the button?
