Thanks for your reply but I don't think that works, cause the link you have me is how to root device.
It still restores the image, you can choose to root or not

Any luck fixing it ?
Kdz flashtool could solve the problem or using an usb.... U could leave the phone until the battery goes off and then recharge a little bit and try download mode again... the first method should work ... press the buttons correctly and connect the usb... working in 95%
same problem
tried the mentioned comments but still nothing for me.
PLEASE PLEASE let me know if you fix the problem OP

could you please explain what you did?
my lgg2 d801 simply boots into the LG logo screen and stays there til it dies.
I do not know too many technicalities when it comes to adb or ubuntu, in fact i dont even know if those programs go on the phone or the computer through usb..
simple clarifications would make the world of difference to me as my phone is useless now.
I can enter download mode using your "let phone die then try again method" but i dont know what to do from there..
Please help me restore my phone to the 4.4.2 kitkat i had previously
thannks in advance
d801 problems
I have a D801 that was rooted on 4.4.2, and I stupidly took the OTA update. I can still use my phone to make calls, but nothing associated with google works. The phone will not boot into download mode, there is no recovery and no fast boot. I have tried everything. It will no reroot or anything . Is there anything that I can do.

I can confirm that that method worked for my G2. Make sure you press and hold volume up then plug the phone in. Hold volume up till you see the small box saying its in download mode.
The nice thing about this method it doesn't wipe your data.
Make sure you have downloaded the most current drivers first though before you plug in your phone. Then go to options and update recovery.

It worked for you because your partitions were not messed up. I know the procedure for getting into download mode, I tell you that it no longer works. Volume up while plugging usb in now gets me a battery charging icon . When you have a rooted phone running 4.4.2 and apply OTA update, it screws the partitions up. I can still send and receive calls, just can't sign into google or use playstore .

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.

Seems like its possible to get into download mode. I don't know, maybe yours is just different.

Do you mind posting what you did that was able to work? I have to wait to find someone that will let me use a windows computer to run the flash tool I guess as I cant run it on Mac OS X
Stuck on the TWRP screen, and flashing zips doesn't work, every reboot brings it to the TWRP screen and I cant seem to find system.img or boot.img in the file directory from that screen so I am thinking it ALL got wiped
Thanks for any help
Just a little FYI, you named the thread hard bricked, however you were only soft bricked. Hard Brick is a dead phone... No power, no lights, or any response.

Give this thread a try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508
Model: SM-G930T (T-Mobile USA)
So today, I had an app not responding. I tried restarting my phone only to get stuck in a bootloop. My Recovery Mode isn't able to boot, but I can still access Download Mode. I tried to install the stock rom for my device to get the error with
"SW rev check failed FUSED 3 > BINARY 2"
"EMMC WRITE FAILED"
I'm thinking of trying to install the stock recovery, but apparently, I have to reinstall the stock rom, which I already did.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.

You should just put your phone in download mode and then run the samsung program, it will do everything else
volume down + power + middle button to go to download mode.

Whew, it's currently downloading applications for it. Thank you so much! I attempted to use a TWRP custom recovery for the T-Mobile USA version, but it looks like that was what blocked me out the recovery mode. Do you know of any custom recovery available for this?

Im not big on the phone extras (i have TWRP but not a big expert on it)..
basically this will factory reset your phone and make it working again, its up to you if you want to flash it again with ODIN and get TWRP on there.
I have a ton of issues after rooting my s7 exynos that I dont even do it anymore or remove bloatware. Something is clearly up with my device but im happy with the phone working, its ok if its a bit slower than it should be - for me.

You should read the s7 t mobile section before you damage your phone. If you go there you'll see you can't flash twrp on the g930t
It can be rooted but no custom recovery.

Heyaa!
That happened to me as well, I was so excited when I got my new S7 That I didn't realize I was using the Recovery for the "Qualcomm/Snapdragon 820" edition of the S7 when I had the Exynos Version. I also tried countless of times to reboot the phone but heres what you do.
Just force reboot the Phone to enter download mode, It took me alot of tries to get it working until after force rebooting the phone alot of times it eventually entered download mode. Once it entered download mode I wasted no time and I flashed the PROPER RECOVERY for my S7 Exynos.
Make sure you are using the correct TWRP Image, and did you have OEM Unlock checked in Developer Settings before installing recovery?
Please read THIS it's what helped me fix my device!
Kindly update me if something happens
Godspeed!

I have the phone beside me for 2 days straight an I try it multiple times but i cant get it into Download Mode. Is there any way to smhw force it into it without trying?
Beside that: I rooted it multiple months before and it worked like a dream... it just went black that day (it got charged in that moment, no input came in any way) and since then this problem occurs.
Ill keep trying!
If it happened all of a sudden, I've read some users from reddit brought it in to Samsung. If it won't get into download mode no matter what you do, I believe it might be an emmc failure. But hopefully its not

i feel like replying to it. It indeed was a hardware failure and got replaced by samsung. Thanks for your help <3
And for anyone who finds this thread cause he is search for a solution, go to Samsung.
So i updated my phone automatically yesterday from the latest update, after it was done, i haven't been able to access my phone in anyway, it keeps on looping samsung logo and a window that says "This phone's bootloader is unlocked´and its software integrity can't be verified" and so on, ive tried to enter either Download mode and recovery mode, but none of the methods seems to have an affect on the phone at all, please help, thanks
Hmm if u have PC download Smart Switch and do Emergency Firmware recovery. That should fix it totally.

Same issue here. s10e stuck in boot loop (between samsung logo and warning about the bootloader being unlocked) after yesterday's update.
So far I had no success putting the phone into recovery or download mode.
The phone was rooted, then flashed with custom ROM, then flashed again with stock firmware. I kept the bootloader unlocked because I read it was risky to re-lock the bootloader.
So, is it now hopelessly bricked?

Never attempt to update if you have rooted and made any changes to the system, deleted or added system apps, modified kernel, changed boot logo,etc.

So, here's how I put the phone in download mode.
I left the battery to drain completely, then without pressing the power button, I pressed the volume down and Bixby button; and only then I plugged the cable. Without pressing the power button, the phone started straight into Download mode.
Now Odin sees the phone, I'm about to flash it with the stock firmware and see what happens.

It's probably Samsung's vaultkeeper that caused the bootloop.

I just wanted to give an update of how I rescued my phone and kept all the information on the phone memory intact (this was one of the challenges, as I had some photos on it).
I put it in download mode by draining the battery, then tried to flash the updated firmware. It didn't work, leading once again to boot loop and all I could do was boot to the stock Android recovery - not helpful.
So I got it to download mode again and flashed the stock firmware it originally came with (prior to the update). In Odin, I put HOME_CSC in the CSC field, to keep the phone memory from being erased. This solved it.
Hope this info can help someone having the same issue.
