I was not seeing any OTA updates (hoping for a Lollipop update), decided to try LG PC Suite. Oddly, this said a 20c update was available to my 20b ROM (stock 4.4 international I believe).
I tried backing up in the suite first but that failed. So I just manually backed up what I needed.
I then did the update, the phone completed, then PC Suite completed, the phone rebooted but stuck at the LG logo.
Download mode will not work
recovery mode will not work
Fastboot is the only menu I can get up.
I 've tried following numerous threads, including one to get the mini sdk on here, but the link for the mini sdk is broken. But I've downloaded various ADBs and fastboot, but fastboot will not recognise my D802. I installed a driver that did appear to load all drivers, but still in device manager on W7, my phone is listed as Android Device under "other", so something isn't loading correctly. Yes, I've restarted laptop, rebooted with cable in, cable out. into and out of fastboot, but still nothing.
So I am completely bolloxed at this stage, stuck with a phone that appears to only be an advertising screen for LG, and nothing more.
What else can I try? I don't have TWRP as it was bone stock.
I have emailed LG UK asking WTF they intend on doing about it. I used an update provided through their software in good faith, I don't expect it to totally **** up my phone in the process.
Any help or suggestions appreciated.

So I have a lg g2 d802. I purchased it yesterday. I am fond of android devices and have had them before. So first of all I rooted my device using kingo rooter software it worked. To install custom ROM I needed recovery. So I googled and found that I needed to install software known as autorec. I installed that the installation went smooth. When I clicked reboot to recovery. My phone restarted in fastboot mode with no access to recovery or download mode. By searching around on the net I found fastboot commands and some how miraculously erased partition. Recovery. Etc I got it to work the download mode. And stuff. My phone was restored but the touch was way out of order. Not usable at all. I searched and found out that installing stock ROM kdz with the help of lg flash tool will fix the case. I did that but after wards my phone boots and gets stuck on boot screen lg logo. I press volume down n power I get factory reset which doesn't work. Same thing happens. I get download mode with screen of five dots only no USB made as before. So I am stuck Here. Fast boot doesn't work now either. Lg flash tool doesn't recognize my device either. With many tries I am only able to get lg Android net or mtp in device manager but doesn't help the process in anyway. Please help me I bought phone out of my savings just yesterday and cant afford a new one. I think the idea would be to get download mode working again?

I recently bought an LG G2 off of a friend, perfect condition and it worked as expected.
As i do with all of my phones i went to go root it, easy peasy. 5 minutes and done.
I googled a video on how to install roms on the G2. (This is the D802 version from Tmobile by the way, that was running Lollipop already).
The video told me to download this app, and itll install a recovery automatically. (AutoRec). He replied to someone in the comments saying that it would work for lollipop as well.
So.. without putting much thought into it, i went ahead and did it and got this screen.

Yea.
I searched every single forum post on here about how to fix it, and all ive managed to get is this.
http://gyazo.com/7f37907b7815ed63645255a313fa356e
The grey bars are gone, but the fastboot screen is on.
I CANT get into download mode. I CANT get ADB to recognize my phone. Under device manager my phone appears as "Unknown".
I have tried everything suggested on the forums. Flashed laf.img over and over flashed and erased recoveries etc etc EVERYTHING. So my phone is basically just a blackscreen with some text.
Is there a way to reset it to ultimate default settings, i dont care about recovering what was on there at all. I just want to be able to use the phone.
ANY help would be appreciated, if not im just going to resort to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404

I have an LG Optimus L90 D415. When i bought, came with kitkat and later updated to lollipop. First i rooted the phone. I made a backup of my recovery using flashify first, then i downloaded twrp successfully. I then gathered all my materials to flash a custom rom (the rom itself and google apps). I booted into my new custom recovery and made a backup of my current stock rom (both rom and recovery backed up on sd). I flashed cm11 to my phone and it worked, but there were MANY problems. The mobile antenae would turn off and on constantly and the camera app didnt even open, but wifi was fine. I got a notification on the phone saying that there was a cm11 update to nightly. I downloaded it, thinking it would solve the problems. Then, my phone rebooted into recovery to update. After it was done, booted normally into cm11. But then, it reset my phone and there were even more problems. i was back at the setup screen, wifi OR mobile data didnt work, there was no bluetooth, camera was not opening once again and the mobile antenae would turn off and on constantly like before. I rebooted my phone normally, and after it booted it was reset AGAIN. I was unable to go into recovery by holding vol down and power, it would go to the LG screen and reboot. Then guess what? RESET AGAIN! I was getting a little frustrated, so i tried to reboot recovery from terminal emulator. i went into storage, and it said internal storage was 128 mb, with 9mbs remaining. So i plugged my fone into the PC and installed drivers and ADB fast boot. I went into cmd and made it boot into recovery once again successfully. from recovery, i wiped my phone from cm and went to restore. My phone however, stopped at about half way and said RESTORE FAILED. At this point, i knew the phone was as good as garbage. but as a last resort, i plugged it in to the PC once again and went into download mode by holding volume up while plugging in the phone to the PC. i opened lg flash tool 2014. i wanted to see if i can flash the stock .kdz file i had of my phone. I pressed on read phone info and it gave me errors. it said IMEI Empty and other things like that. SO IS MY PHONE AS GOOD AS DEAD OR WHAT? SOMEONE PLEEEASSSE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I finally fixed it. Turns out the internal storage wasn't mounted. I had to mount it from recovery, then I restored. And boom, back to normal

Glad to hear that. Sorry for my late response.
Take care and do a backup before doing anything to your device.
Good luck
I was doing a software recovery on my phone using the LG tool and it stopped halfway through the process. Now it's stuck on the software upgrade screen. I tried to flash it but can't access my phone. My computer doesn't see it. Can someone suggest anything.

Hi and welcome to XDA.
Try posting your query in > T-Mobile LG G2x > T-Mobile G2x Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. That forum isn't very active anymore so give people some time to respond. In the meantime you should be able to reboot out of download mode by holding power for at least 10 sec.
Hello!
I recently came upon a (quite old) LG phone, model LG lge-465f. It was suffering from Security Error loop. I charged the battery using an external charger, downloaded LG Mobile Support Tool, installed the drivers on my Windows 7 x64, connected the phone in Download Mode (couldn't get it in Emergency Mode for the life of me), the software recognised the phone, so I did the Software Update. It downloaded the firmware, extracted it, but got stuck at 5%, saying I needed to unplug and plug it back. Did it a few times, until the program crashed. Tried some more times, changed to a Windows XP x32 station, but to no avail.
So I downloaded a .kdz from a stock ROM site I trust and tried to use the LG Flash Tool 2014. No luck. Still got stuck at 5% and crashed. If I tried to click on Get Phone Information, the program crashed.
Then I tried KDZ_FW_UPD. Selected the phone mode to DIAG, selected my KDZ, but got ERROR PHONE NOT FOUND. I tried to change the COM port to COM41, did the flashing again, still stuck at the same error.
Problem is, the phone now seems to be even worse. I can't turn it on, only get it to download mode. Now I can't even see the Security Error... Is the phone totally gone?
Thanks for any help!
