I recently got a t989 with firmware UVMC6 preinstalled. And I can't get the phone to odin mode. I have tried all methods like inserting usb cable while holding volume up and down button, inserting usb cable while holding power and volume down button. But it always take me to recovery mode instead. I even tried to boot it through adb command prompt but the phone isn't recognized by adb. I have usb driver installed correctly. I have used different usb cables. Does anyone know if the lastested batch of T989s even have a download mode?
Thank you for your help?

Try holding just volume down instead of both... (telus/koodo phones use volume down only to get to download mode)

So I can easily get into recovery mode, but that is it. I have tried both up and down while holding power. up and down and home while holding power. down/home/power and up/home/power all numerous times and the only thing I can get into is recovery mode. Degugging is on, and odin recognizes phone. Could this have something to do with the tmobile softkeys version instead of the internationals home"button". I also tried the holding up and down volume while odin is running and that didn't work either. I'm guessing i have to install the android sdk and use adb commands. as a last resort unless someone else can tell me what im doing wrong. As I don't own a jig/ dongle. am I the only one who has this problem?

Don't press power at all. Turn the phone off. Now just press both vol+&- and insert your USB cable that is already hooked up to your pc running odin.
Thanks You Very Much I am A f#&!ng retard. That worked perfectly.
yeah you can only go into DL mode when the USB cable is connected to your phone. So it should work when you're connected, phone is off, and then you hold +/- and power.
BUT people find it best to do what killa said
So i've been trying to root my phone for quite some time and everytime it fails.
I recently found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1533#tutorial
Everything was working fine until i got to the part ( fastboot oem get_identifier_token.) When i type that in it would just say
(Waiting for device) and never does anything for a long time.
also when i click my power button and volume down at the same time it does not go in fast boot mode for some reason and i have no idea why!
so does anyone have any solutions?
Just hold down the power and vol down and wait until the bootloader shows up, then use vol to scroll until you can select fastboot, then plug into a usb port.
Also, try a different usb port on your computer. Not sure why this sometimes works, but sometimes it does. Sometimes.

Thank you! that miraculously worked somehow aha !
I know right! Crazy.
Im able to get into twrp recovery, and fastboot mode but not download mode... I wanted to put the phone back into stock and i thought wiping out everything would do so but i guess not.
Whenever i press the download mode command which i did was volume up down and power then plug into the laptop the 3 buttons will flash but my laptop won recognized it. I tried installing the LG Optimus G drivers but still unable to install it. Also TWRP says that the phone isnt rooted anymore and has no OS.

First off it's Vol Up + Vol Down while powered off and then plug into computer. DO NOT press the power button.
Secondly what ver. of windows and did the computer have any issues prior with connecting to the phone?
There is another fix but it's a bit drastic and wouldn't recommend it at this point.

On my phone, Download Mode is only accessed when Vol + and - and power from a powered off state, while any USB cord is plugged in, either to a PC, or a wall charger.
After flashing, i noticed that the phone has some issues powering on and off normally i.e. phone completely died, plug the phone into the charger, screen turns on, phone is theoretically charging, but does not show any charging display icon. Which then forces me to unplug the phone, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds, press and hold the power again to turn the phone on, and immediately plug it into the charger in order to get the phone to normally boot up. I flashed CM 10.2 from the original android dev thread. I think that was just a design flaw that LG had originally, but meh, what can i say.
Q&A?

Skip the reinsert battery part in your item #1:
1) Remove battery
2) Hold Volume plus and minus keys down
3) Insert USB cable while still continuing to hold down those two buttons.
WIthin 1-2 seconds you should have download mode. When download mode appears, then re-insert battery. For sure you're not going into charging mode with no battery to charge. This is the method I always use, and it always works (aside from hard-brick situations, but you can access battery charging mode/graphics, which surely means that ain't you).
not works.

What does your computer say when you plug it in? If in Windows check Device Manager and see what your phone is being recognized as. Can you access the phone's contents via USB cable from your computer? Does ADB recognize it at all? Or does it just loop like that, not starting?
Also, it sometimes takes several tries to get it into download mode, as if you're holding the buttons down and not timed just right, the phone ignore your attempt. Make sure you do not let go of both volume buttons even after you plug in the USB cable, you must continue to hold them down for a couple of seconds (until the DL mode appears). Don't even think about putting the battery back in until you see that download mode box. Try that a few times maybe? If it doesn';t work ,maybe you're boned.

remove battery and place it again. then press both volume+ and Volume - . By keeping pressed both buttons insert your usb cable. don't release pressed buttons until its in download mood. by the way install unified adb driver for android by koush if your using windows 8.1 otherwise lg official driver is ok
Hi,
I installed CloudyG3 rom today and phone is not starting nor going into download mode.
I have LG Optimus G Pro E980 AT&T
I want to be sure that v10k is a factory image ?
AT&T E980AT V10k
And how to go into download mode because I tried many times and still black screen.
Regards.
Take the battery off, then hold both volume and power buttons together simultaneously, now plug the USB cord into your device, then connect the other end to the computer. The download screen may come on. Once the download mode comes on, put the battery back in and proceed as before. If this method doesn't work for you, try other combination such as holding both vol + pow buttons with the cord already plug into both phone and computer. Keep trying and you will get to it eventually.
