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.

Alright so here's the issue. I was about to flash the latest CM using ClockworkMod, before it restarted it asked for superuser permissions which I had already granted before which seemed odd to me. I set down my phone after this to let it do its thing after this and when I picked it back up it was off and wouldn't come back to life. It's bricked.
When I try to power it on, it shows the Samsung logo and then goes black and then nothing. If I hold down the vol+, power and home to get to recovery it will show the Samsung Galaxy S3 logo then goes black, then shows the samsung logo again, then goes black and stays there. If I do vol-, power and home, it asks to press vol+ or vol-, so I press vol+ to get to Odin. It shows the Odin screen for about 5 seconds and then it goes black and stays black.
So basically, I can't boot, get to recovery, or get to odin long enough to actually use it. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Sounds like it is time for a replacement. I had a Thunderbolt that did the same thing and couldn't fix it because the phone will not stay on long enough to do anything.
Please help me! I own a galaxy s6 (international model, official, not rooted) which is stuck in a boot loop from hell. The led is white (not the usual "boot-up blue") and won't change colour or even turn off. It was the last straw a few hours ago when it randomly restarted, got stuck halfway through the Samsung logo and started making the loudest noise I've ever heard it produce. It was NOT a vibration. Ever since then, it has just been stuck and keeps restarting. When it does get past the "Samsung Galaxy S6" screen it just says 'no command' with the android lying on its back. I'm at a complete and utter loss. It's actually done this a few times this week, but I've always been able to at least boot it into safe mode and uninstall snapchat - which I think is the cause of all this. I can't power off the device, and even when the battery drains completely, the same 'no command' screen appears as soon as it's plugged in. I can't boot it in recovery mode as I can't get it to switch off. I think it may be battery related or even motherboard related. I can't even seem to bypass the 'no command screen. It's just sitting on my floor, charging, overheating and looking all smug. Frankly, I'm pretty damn close to hurling it out of my window.
Also, does anyone know WHY the led is sometimes white or yellow during a boot loop on newer Samsung Phones?
Put the phone in download mode by holding Power + Home + Volume Down buttons. Plug in to Odin and Flash Official Firmware or use SmartSwitch

Thanks but I've tried this several times. The device seems to be completely unresponsive to all commands except a force restart (power key and volume down). I can't put it in download mode or even power it off
have u tried using smart switch emergency firmware recovery? power key and volume down should force it to power down, than enter download mode vol down + home + power key.

Yeah. It looks like I have no other choice
I'm currently on the oreo beta update and tried to apply a theme. Afterwards the phone reset and is now stuck at the t-mobile logo where it seems to look like it's in one handed mode since the other parts of the screen are black. The LED light is on and the phone continuously vibrates. I cannot turn the phone off and any attempt at booting it back into safe mode doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Well I couldn't fix it normally so I went into recovery mode and reset the entire device which solved the issue. Hopefully no one else has to deal with that. If your device doesn't turn off, hold power button + volume down to get it to soft reset then hold power + bixby + volume up to get into recovery.
Greetings!
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm having a hard time with this. I was carrying my galaxy S6 on my pocket, and when I got it out I saw that it was stuck on this screen: https:// i.imgur.com/DnddzrR.png
The phone won't turn off. I've tried to hold the power button for a long time, but nothing happens. The only two combinations that work are vol- & power (which reboots the phone, but that's it) and vol- & power & home, which puts it into download mode.
I can't get into the recovery, no matter how I try. Since the only thing I can do is go into download mode, I've tried downloading the stock firmware in sammobile and flashing it with odin, and while the flashing went well and there wasn't any error, the phone is still stuck in the same screen.
I'm not sure what to do or what happened. Please ask me for any info that might be relevant or help.
Press vol up down and lock button and hold all 3 together wait for turn off then try to boot in recovery if it restarts it self then do it again but then after its turn off just hold vol up
I've tried that a lot of times, but no matter for how long do I press the buttons or with buttons do I press, it's still stuck in that screen. Seriously, the only two things that work are download mode and soft reboot.
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
