Hey,
I'm trying to root my T-Mobile LG G2 with stock 4.4.2, but the it just refuses to enter download mode. I've tried the standard method of entering download mode (powering down the phone, holding down the volume button, plugging in the USB cable from my computer), but only the LG logo appears on screen, then the battery percentage appears on screen, and then the phone begins to charge. I've tried using different USB cables and different PCs, but nothing seems to work.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong here? Any extra steps that need to be taken?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try holding up and power and let go of power when the logo shows then push the and hold power again.

Do you mean hold power and volume up, plug phone in, let go of power and keep holding volume up, and then hold power and volume up again? I tried that, and the LG logo splashes on screen, disappears, splashes again, and then the screen goes black and the LED notification light blinks red. It doesn't pulse, like when it's charging, but it blinks a steady beat. It stops blinking and the phone boots up when I let go of the power and volume up buttons...

When I went into download mode, I only held the Volume Up button and plugged in the USB to the pc. I didn't hold power.
Same problem here ! Recieved d802 v20f OTA and after the update my phones refuses to entering download mode.

I'm on rooted 20e with custom recovery and I entered download mode no problem. Make sure you're pressing only the Volume Up button when plugging in the USB connected to the computer and hold it until you enter download mode.

I'm having the same problem with my LG G2, I can't get into download mode. I've tried holding the power up button and plugging in a USB cable but my phone shows the LG logo and then starts charging the battery, I'm on stock rom, 4.4.2, no custom recovery. Is there a fix for this?
I had a similar problem with my T-Mobile LG G2 where I was rooted and accepted an OTA. It broke root and I couldn't get IOroot or Stumproot to work. Went to flash a downgrade and found the phone wouldn't go into download mode. It was NOT bricked. I finally tried playing around with the LG Mobile Support Tool (B2CAppSetup.exe). Of course it detected that my phone already had the latest firmware from T-Mobile, but then I clicked Options>Upgrade Recovery.
It downloaded for a while then I noticed it had put my phone into download mode (it said "Rooted" in red letters at the bottom). Then it flashed the same firmware over and I immediately tested, it entered download mode right away. But I didn't end up needing that as Stumproot was able to brute force it now after the recovery flash.
Anyway, I couldn't find an answer anywhere else. Most results also have a bricked phone, but that wasn't my issue. This solved my problem and maybe it could work for others.

Hi Kalpesh,
Did you try to root the phone?Can you mention what were your actions before your phone got stuck in a bootloop?Did you upgrade your firmware or did you try to flash a custom ROM?Or was the bootloop sudden without any probable reason?

Hi kalpesh,
You have 2 options now,the first one is going to an authorized honor service center and getting your phone repaired at an expense.
Second is using the trial and error method by the remaining possible ways you can use to unbrick your phone,the most probable one being the use of fastboot,I will try and prepare the step by step method for you till tomorrow,it is very late right now hence signing off,g'night.

Hi I am active now,first thing you need to try is to enter recovery mode,
Power off your device.
Boot in recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Up, Volume Down and Power Button at the same time.
Release all buttons when the Huawei Honor 6 screen flickers and in a few seconds the Recovery screen will appear.
If it does revert and I will tell you steps ahead,if it doesn't..well yet revert and tell me ASAP.

Hi there is one more method I suggest you to use,
THE 3 BUTTON RESET
tell me here if you have any update.app file downloaded on your SD card and do mention exactly which version update have you downloaded by accessing the memory card from another phone.

Hi I have already tried for recovery method, however when I released these 3 buttons post logos is seen my phone switched off. I was doing some troubleshooting on this and I noticed if I remove memory card my phone goes into recovery mode, however my update.app is stored on memory card this does not help either.
Let me try and change memory card to see if this helps.

Even I am facing same issue.
Even I am facing same issue.
Could anyone help me out to resolve the issue.
Even I am facing same issue but when I keep on charging it starts and is working fine. as soon as I remove the charger it switches off and constantly displays honor 6logo after 7secs interval. I tried hard ,soft reset,3button combo but all in vain. I am on emui v3 and I have not rooted my phone .pls help me
This is not any hardware issue, Its software.
3 Button method wont work unless you have dload folder in your SD card with proper update.app file.
You can enter recovery only using VOL+ then POWER key together, Hold them until you are there.
There you will get limited options like reset/cache clear etc.
You should download latest software for your model, Place dload folder in your SD using card reader or other device.
Then with 3 buttons method flash it, lollipop is most stable.
Having the same issue here, exact symptoms as Ameya103, but now it doesn't even work with the charger plugged. just keeps resetting.
I tried the 3 button method but instead it went to a screen saying (Huawei software installing, do not press powerkey or remove battery) and a loading bar. it just stopped at the very end (almost 99%) and now nothing is happening.
Oh yeah, it was connected to my pc when I pressed the 3 buttons...
Me too!

Hi! I too had the exact same problem!
> Infinite boot loop.
> Can't boot into any rescue mode.
> Even when the battery is dry, it wouldn't charge. If I plug in the charger, it would reboot continuously.
I somehow managed to fix it. Dunno if it will work for you. But give it a try.
== Let the phone reboot until the battery dries.
== Now turn on the computer and have the Huawei multi-tool installed with Universal ADB driver ready.
== Now, while pressing the down volume key, insert the USB cable. This should boot to fast boot mode.
== Once you are here, use the multi-tool to unbrick your phone. (This step itself is lengthy step. Follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor6-multi-tool-t2963060/post57271243)
By mostly following the same procedure, I managed to unbrick my phone. And upgraded to 5.1 EMUI 3.1!
Fixed by replacing the battery
Are you facing any problem after unbrick?
Hi,
I have the exact issue as Ameya103. The phone keeps restarting. When plugged to charger it works fine. Once, unplugged it keeps restarting again. I tried all possible methods factory reset, updating OS (through service centre). Nothing worked. But currently, it doesnt even work with charger connected, it keeps restarting and stucks at the logo.
Have a similiar problem with my PE-TL10. After I changed the speaker, it does not work on battery, completely dead. When I plug it to the charger, it goes in bootloop, but it's possible to get it in flash mode with volup/power button. With USB to PC, I can get it in Fastboot mode. Tried recovery from different firmware(my PE-TL10 is Chinese), from stock to the last Chinese dev.firmware, but it does not start up in Android after sucessfull flashing. Could I have damaged the battery when opening, and could that be the reason for these errors? I used opening tools, but I may have been a bit to harsh bending/prying the plastic part that holds the battery, loose..... As said, tried going back to B260 firmware, have extracted boot, rcovery & system img, which installs fine via Fastboot. Then I start installing Update.app from sdcard/dload...... Or am I doing things a bit wrong? The phone is not rooted, but it is unlocked(got the code by mail). Any help or input from somebody who have similiar experience would be appriciated!
By the way, have found a supplier of a replacement battery for aprx. 8 USD, but it will take some weeks to arrive if I order it...
Same issue for me:Honor 6 H60-L12
Hi ,
I am having a Honor 6 , H60-L12 which I purchased from China almost an year back.
Form the past 2 days I am facing similar issue . My phone goes to bootloop. It flashes the Honor logo and again restart.
But when the charger is connected, we can restart it.
Sometimes, even if we have sufficient charge, the battery shows 0% all of a sudden and then switch off. But when we plug the charger and restart, battery will be showing the previous charge or higher and works normally.
Is this some issue related to battery or software?
I am very new to rooting
I am facing the same problem. Boot loop and now phone shutsdown immediately when charger is unplugged. I downloaded the latest firmware for honor 6 l-04 and placed the unzipped dload folder with Update.app on sd card. Did a 3 button reset to get the phone started only with the phone plugged in / charging, battery shows 100% but shutsdown with a flash of Android & honor logo when unplugged.
Blame it on the Hardware
I too have this issue with my honor 6 h60 l04. I tried resetting but no results. I then downloaded the Firmware for my version from the Huawei official consumer site and updated my phone with the UPDATE.app technique from the sd card, this only removed the root and the boot loop still occurs (It works perfectly fine on the charger after a couple of restarts, and It will enter into the boot loop when I plug it off from the charger)

You should remove root, flash stock recovery.img and boot.img prior to any oficial update. Not doing so LEADS to bootloop.
After failed attempt to get to B211 and B563 from NXT-L29C636B330, I ended up in an erecovery bootloop. I used DC Phoenix to flash an image, tried to update, and now dead. Like won't even turn on or indicate charging dead. No key combination for any length of time does anything.
Is there hope??
I called repair shops...they indicate they cannot help. I bought an international version and am in Canada, so don't have access to Huawei service centres either...
Thanks

Hi, i am in the same trouble, anybody knows if the Jig solution works? I only need to bring into fastboot again .

Sorry to hear that about your phone.
This is the thread to unbrick the phone https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66776218&postcount=2
But you mentioned no key combination is working.
Is this your model number ? NXT-L29C636B330
Before it was unresponsive, do you remember how much charge it had?
Just to be sure, charge it for an hour or so and then start troubleshooting again. ( I had similar issue, so I left my phone in charging for a while and it worked )
If it switches on.
Check if it is able to go to bootloader mode. (press volume down and hold for 3 seconds and then connect to laptop/computer)
Check if you are able to do dload method ( 3 fingers rule )
Check if you are able to go to recovery ( volume + power -> should take you to TWRP or Stock recovery )
If any of the above steps work, then we can get it back. Don't give up.
Lets hope for the best. Something will work out. :good::good::good::good::good::good:
Hello everyone,
I apologize that my first post is directly asking for help but I've spent days reading and trying to figure out my issue to no avail.
I have a SM-G955FD and a few days ago it just turned off (battery at 40% and charging) and wouldn't turn back again (stock firmware, never rooted).
Recovery Mode (Pwr + Volume Up + Bixby) doesn't do a thing (Black Screen)
Download Mode (Pwr + Volume Down + Bixby) opens the Download Menu, if I proceed (Volume Up) , the device shows up in Odin.
I tracked the same firmware I had to flash it and found it. I load up the BL,AP,CP & CSC and proceed with flashing the device through ODIN.
Everything completes and I get a "PASS" from ODIN. However, when my phone reboots I get a blank screen with no vibration or logo or anything, it seems as if rebooting is actually turning the phone off.
Do you have any suggestions on what I can do? The device is still under warranty but I'd rather try everything within my ability to try and fix it.
Thank you so much folks.
Edit #1: Took it to a Samsung Repair Center and they told me I've voided my warranty because I installed a custom firmware. I clearly show them the "Download Menu" and how it's clearly marked "Official" & the Warranty Void bit/hex is 0 (I only flashed the same exact firmware from Sammobile using Odin, nothing even related to rooting which they claimed I did). They tell me this doesn't matter and that it's now out of warranty and if a software flash doesn't work then they would have to charge me 380$ (American Dollars).
I have a gut feeling that it's a software related thing at this point but my realistic assumption is that since the power button isn't causing the phone to vibrate it's probably a hardware issue.
What do you guys think?
I really apologize for the long posts, but I'm really pissed since the phone is barely 6 months old and I bought it unlocked.

did you try soft reset ? this is how :
To soft reset a frozen Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus you need to hold the power button and the volume-down button for roughly 7 seconds. Let go of the buttons once you feel the device vibrate and see the Samsung Galaxy S8 logo on the screen. Your phone will then reboot, and hopefully, start working properly once again
One thing to note: On the forced reboot/soft reset, you will be given four (4) options. Use the volume keys to navigate, and the “Bixby” key to select. Option 1 will do a normal boot, as if you’re turning the device on.
i hope your phone work again... try another Samsung repair center and don't explain anything just told them that your phone worked fine and one morning this problem appears... and nothing else don't mention Odin flash or....
i think this its storage problem or a hardware fail...

Hi there! No solution other than changing the motherboard. Went to another repair center and they did that in less than 2 hours and around a day to complete the water test.
Good luck
Hi there. The phone is Honor 8 Pro. No one can help in the phone specific threads, so my hope is there is someone smarter here
So long story short I tried to relock the bootloader with twrp installed. The result is the phone is in constant bootloop mode. I can't go to bootloader nor to recovery mode. The phone boots, passes the bluish honor logo and gets stuck on some EMUI logo on a black screen. Fastboot mode is not acccesible, the PC can't detect the phone at all. No combination of buttons pressed works. I also tried the dload method to no avail.
I also waited for the battery to fully drain and tried to hold the volume up button while inserting the USB cable. It doesn't work.
Anybody been in this situation before? Any solution or any ideas, guys?
Hi did you already found a solution for this? I'm experiencing the same problem...
