Hiya,
I just got a used G Slate from a buddy of mine who got a new tablet. There was nothing wrong with it but suddenly it just started bootlooping on him. All it does is the little green android guy jets off the screen and the T-mobile G Slate logo comes on the screen with the little T-mobile jingle. Stays on the screen for about a minute then starts all over again.
I've hit the reset button while holding the pwr button: The LG logo appears and then it starts it's bootloop.
I've held down the reset button: The LG logo appears and then it starts it's bootloop.
I've held the pwr button and the up volume button (right side-I think it's up): after about 5 seconds of holding the volume button it give me this... "Entering LG MDP Mode" in yellow letters at the top left hand corner of the screen, and in the center of the screen in white letters it says... ""Do Not Power Down downloading now.."
I went to bed last night with that screen on (with the charger plugged in) and it was like that when I woke this morning.
I've held down the up volume button and hit the reset button: gave me the same as above.
I've held down both sides of the volume button and then hit the reset button: That turned the screen off and doesn't come back on until I hit the reset button. Then it goes back into bootloop.
pwr+reset = bootloop
pwr+ down volume+reset = bootloop
pwr+up volume+reset = MDP mode
down volume+reset = bootloop
up volume+reset = MDP mode
up+down volume = screen off
I've set up ADB on my computer and I'm able to see the tablet while it's bootlooping, but not when the screen is off or when it's "entering LG MDP mode".
I've visited multiple sites but none that I've found deal with a perpetual bootloop.

In the last link I give, it does show a bootloop, but that person says it only happens every once in a while. With mine, if it has power on the battery it bootloops. No matter what.
Any suggestions or answers you awesome folks out there can think of that I haven't looked at yet?

I am trying to restore the phone using a video on youtube: "How to Unbrick or Restore the LG G2 ATT Version"
The only problem is that after the phone was bricked it stays on. If I hold the power button on the power button until it turns off, it immediately reboots to the LG logo for 2 seconds and then it goes to a dark screen that is lit---thus the phone is clearly on but there is no image.
So I cannot boot the phone into download mode for this reason. For download mode, the phone must be off.
Help anyone?

HOld the power button, as soon as it turns off try the hard-key buttons for downlode mode, it worked for me. I faced the similar issue. if not just hold the downlode mode button while it is on, it should work.
"So I cannot boot the phone into download mode for this reason. For download mode, the phone must be off."
<dwight shrute voice> FALSE
this is what i do
hold vol up and power till screen turns off
immediately release and hold until LG logo
immediately release and hold and hold
ive done it. so has everyone else here whos needed too. stop giving up and watching other people do it dumb. have an original thought. genuine effort. just keep holing buttons you know? like wtf that seems obvious to me. no offence or anything but damn. trial and error is like kindergarten.
Hello. After bricking my device and getting it working again, I decided to factory set it. When it was booting, it came up with the yellow triangle. I can't seem to get out of it. PLEASE HELP. Thank you so much.
Edit to clarify: I wouldn't be so worried if this didn't happen while trying to reset my entire phone... Is there any way out of this? I can't seem to get into download mode.
Edit 2: It says SECURE FAIL: KERNEL at the screen and before the screen pops up, it says in the upper left hand corner in blue it says RECOVERY BOOTING...
Got it. Thank christ. Now Odin won't detect my phone.
Edit: I got it to work by holding volD+Home+Power. When the screen flashed the warning and is about to boot into the error, I pressed the volD button very fast until the warning for download mode came up.
EDIT: Surefire way to get into device: Make the screen go black if it isn't already by pressing the power button. After the screen goes black, hold down volDO+home for about two seconds and then, without releasing your fingers, start holding the power button. The download mode warning screen will flash briefly and then it will go off again. Once you see that screen flash, release your finger off of the power button. When the screen goes off, start holding the power button again. The next screen that loads should be the download mode warning. Instead of clicking "download mode" (unless that was your intent), click volDO to restart phone into regular mode.

Thank you !!!
I want to say thank you so very much for the INFO. I have an AT&T LG E980 cell, I left my cell plugged in on the charger because the Download said not to unplug until the download is completed, It was plugged up past 12hrs, so I unplugged it fear of overcharging, After a couple of hours, I began pressing the Volume down+Home+power buttons simultaneously and the Factory Rest Page appear, but when I press the power button to confirm the action this Code popped up:
18370
18370 Source :Boot Error! Cause boot certification verify
18370
18370
Below it every time I repeat the steps. It want power up without being plugged -up. OMG!!! What Next?:crying:
My Nexus 5 randomly started to lock and unlock itself, repeatedly. The screen kept flashing on and off and then it rebooted, or tried to. It came up with the google logo and then turned off. If I press vol-down and power, it goes into fast boot but then automatically goes to the google logo as if I pressed the power button to select "Start". Any help is appreciated as my phone is now basically a paperweight.
Take it apart and replace the power button with a new one ?
My phone stopped working all of a sudden since last night, it was just sitting on the side idle and all of sudden it started showing a black samsung screen and hung and did not respond to any touch or anything else, At this point pressing powering button alone did not turn off the device, so I remembering pressing all of the button simultaneously and that turned off the phone but since then it wont turn on at all. I cant recall if the phone was on charge or not before it hung. But I am 100% battery was charged at least 70%.
After all that, I have tried all the possible combination of hard resetting this phone and still no luck to get it to power up.
Left the phone to charge overnight and in the morning tried restarting again with all the possible combination and still no luck to power up. I am clueless now.
Please let me know what could be the issue?
Any help would be appreciated
Update on the situation:
So Today I tried turning on the phone again and I pressed power+Volume Down+Home button and the phone started and it took me to the download mode. However when I pressed the up button it did not restart and stayed off, I pressed and held the same combition of buttons which are Power+Volume down+Home button then it took me to download mode again but I could not do much other than uploading a new firm to the phone which I did not want to do that. So I decided to restart it again by pressing the up button and it powered off and this time I went and pressed and held Power+Volume up+Home button and it did not do anything I tried this couple of times and still did not do anything. So I tried Power+Volume Down+ Home button and this time the device did not power up again.
At least now I know its not the hardware and some software glitch or a stuck loop.
Can someone please help me with this.
Thanks a lot Guys.
Update again:
Right after putting in the charging cable then the phone started up again and now the phone is showing an android blue screen "No Command" Pressing and holding Power+Up buttons do not bring it into the recovery mode? Please let me know thanks
