Hello there,
Today my rom (Xenon HD) stopped working and i wanted to get my old stock rom back.
So i started to downgrade, but in the end i ended up in the Factory Reset Status 2 after it shows the boot animation of an os called "mini os".
Anybody got experience on this ?
Thanks

First remove your battery then insert battery dont power on mobile . holding the volume up, plug in a microUSB cable into your phone.
Make sure the USB side is already plugged into the computer
You should start to see "Download Mode" for a few seconds and then it will show "Firmware Update". You are now in Download Mode!
Open LG Flash Tool and Put your dll and tot files in and use Board DL (Very Important)
after u success
It should boot into MiniOS just hit ok. Push power button plus touch the screen where it says Normal boot+(power)
done
This is not working for me. it says waiting for connection, please help
i am frustrated !!!

Try unplugging and plugging back in and ensure you are on PORT41 for the device driver. After you do that and in Download Mode, then unplug and replug USB.
Also do not use USB 3 and try another port if you still have issues.

I have same issue in my LG G3 D850 I have apply your procedure Thanks It works ... first time the setup screen completes but when i powered off mobile and insert the sim and then powered on its again going to miniOs again i Normal boot+(power) but now boot looping auto ... what can i do now ???
For me who had the same issue, I just rebooted the device back into download mode and the LG flashtool resumed automatically. (I did not close or stop the process from the LG flashtool when I got this message).
Once the process resumed automatically, I still got download fail.
I can see whenever the device reboots, the modem disappears from within device manager after getting to the "Factory Reset 2" screen.
Any advice?
Update: I tried about 7 times to get it flashed. I ended up just restarting the phone in normal mode and strangely voila it works perfectly. Even though the software said the flash failed, it still worked. Thanks anyway!

This worked. Tks a lot.
I just got a LG harmony and as i soon turned it on it went to factory reset status and I tried to bypass but it keeps taking me to Factory reset, I also tried the download mode which took me to firmware update for hours it has still been at 0%. Taking forever

I have the ATT model of LG Optimus G Pro E980.
Today, I rooted my phone and everything went smoothly as it usually does. Everything seemed fine until i tried flashing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428207
Now I can only boot and get a LG screen and then it just turns black. I got into download mode maybe once or twice but I can't repeat it and the device doesn't seem to show up on my computer either way. I booted into CWM maybe once by smashing keys and it just randomly popped up but its also not repeatable . Any suggestions, I'll honestly try everything.
Thanks

1) Pull out the battery. Your phone will be turned off
2) Insert the battery but the phone shoud stay turned off. Plug usb cable to the phone but not to the pc
3) While the phone is off and battery is in, press both volume up and down buttons together (Do it with your single hand)
4) While you are pressing the buttons with your hand, plug the usb cable to the pc with your other hand.
5) You should see phone gets into download mode (DOWNLAD will be written on the screen)
6) Now the pc should recognize the phone.
7) Open LG Mobile Support Tool
8) You should be able to see that it recognizes the phone. If it doesn't, repeat the first 4 steps when LG mobile support tool is open.
9) After your phone is seen by the pc, choose Upgrade Recovery from Options.
10) It will check the FW from internet by using the imei Number of the phone or you can enter E988 and your serial number manually
11) Then it will download the FW and recover your phone. It will take time according your connection speed.

The Support Tool does recognize the phone, but I am unable to upgrade recovery. It goes all the way to downloading software, but the time elapsed stays at 00:00:13 (13 seconds). I do have the firmware installed on my computer though, and I am now able to access CWM. Help?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I solved my problem by going into download mode and flashing the default att rom. If anyone else has this problem you can pm me or i think there is a thread on here titled something like solving lg optimus g pro softbrick
Hi every one
i got my E988 OTA update , but it fail to boot up and Show "secure booting error cause boot certification verify"
i tried many method on this forum , but it not enter "Download Mode" and detect by the PC. Please advise anything i can try?
Thank you everyone :crying:
Make sure your drivers are installed.. Take battery out and hold both volume buttons and plug in usb

It took me a while as well to figure out the whole 'Download Mode' thing but it became easier once I got the technique down. This is my anecdotal evidence but I dont think you need to surely have drivers installed since I plugged it into my Linux machine and it still entered download mode.
This is the method I used.
1) Turn the device completely off.
2) With one hand, Hold down both Volume arrows on the device for about 3 seconds
3) Using your other hand, plug your device into your computer. (As in, already have it plugged into USB and plug the Micro-USB port into your phone)
4) And it should show 'Download Mode' on your phone.
Hope that helps!
Thank you all bro~
@shayneflashindaily thank you ~I have install/reinstall every Driver,and also got same..
@GreatCaesar: i tried your method , it got same result , still show "secure booting error":crying:
maybe its a bad cable.......
After downloading the new AT&T update yesterday my phone (No root) went thru the update process and completed and then restarted itself and ever since then has been stuck in a boot loop on the LG logo screen. Was going to do the flashing procedure but when I try to boot the phone in download mode the little box appears saying "download mode" but instead of the "firmware update" screen appearing shortly after that my screen just goes black again. Have tried every port using the stock chord on my computer (Windows 8.1, USB 3.0) and have tried every port on another computer (Windows 7, USB 2.0) and still the same thing every time. Have installed the proper LG drivers on both computers but still fails to recognize the phone correctly under device manager as well.
ANY HELP IS MUCH APPRECIATED!
Update to lollipop? Wow sorry to hear that OP. Did you pull out the battery? Sometimes that helps strangely.

Update to lolipop went fine it was this update that enables VoLTE that screwed it up. I cant post link because I am a new member but google it and you will find it.
But yes pulled the battery out first to end the boot loop and thats where the original post picks up from.
Sometimes to get into Download Mode:
Remove Battery.
Press Volume Up.
While still pressing Volume Up, replace Battery.
Still pressing Volume Up, connect to p.c. by USB Cable. Phone should now enter Download Mode......

Before I even start just gonna let you know you have to flash the phone back to the stock firmware meaning you will lose anything saved on your phone but this is the only way to get it back functional.
Pre-requirements
1. Stock LG cord that came with phone
2. Desktop computer with USB 2.0 ports (3.0 wouldnt work for me)
3. Disable driver signature enforcement (Depends on OS as to how to do this so just google it. Takes just a few minutes)
*UNPLUG PHONE BEFORE STARTING*
1. Download and install the QDLoader HS-USB Driver here: http://www.androidbrick.com/download/qdloader-hs-usb-driver/
2. Plug your phone in while holding volume up to initiate "Download Mode" and it should now show up under "Ports" as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"
3. Download and extract this: https://www.drive.google.com/file/d/0B_Hol5T47S-bYjNETmVPZkdWUms/view
4. Now download the stock fimware files (the .zip and .dll files) here: http://downloadandroidfiles.org/directory-php/?Directory=/LG%20G3/Stock%20Files/ATT%20D850
5. Extract the .tot file out of the .zip file and place it and your .dll file on your desktop.
6. Now open (be sure to right click and run as administrator!) BoardDiag which is located in the BoardDiag_V2_9 folder you downloaded in step 3.
7. If you need pictures to follow along with the next few steps go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/tool-unbrick-lg-g2-qualcomm-9008-board-t3072073 and see the Attached Thumbnails at the bottom of the first post.
7. At the bottom under "Image Extraction" place the .tot file in the BIN field and make the DIR wherever you wish the files to be extracted to and then hit "Extract" and wait for process to finish.
8. Now under "Board Diag Test" check the boxes beside "AP check" and "EMMC TEST"
9. In the right column make sure "B2 (MSM8974AC)" is selected in dropdown "AP Chipset"
10. On the "Com Port" dropdown select the COM number your device shows up with in Device Manager.
11. In the "Target Dir" type the destination where you extracted the .tot file to in Step 7.
12. Click "START" and wait for process to finish. If the test passes the AP check and the EMMC TEST then you're good to go. If not then im afraid you have a hard brick and I cant help you there.
13. Uncheck "EMMC TEST" and check "RESTORE BOOT IMG" under "Restore Device"
14. In the dropdown beside "RESTORE BOOT IMG" choose the following in the order typed and hit "START" after choosing each file letting it flash the stock file to your phone: aboot--Backupgpt--boot--dbi--laf--Primarygpt--recovery--rpm--tz--sbl1
15. Your phone should now have the LG logo and underneath that say "Security Error".
16. Unplug your phone and pop your battery out and back in. Now plug your phone in while holding volume up for "Download Mode" and this time it should display the "Firmware Update" screen after a few seconds.
17. Now that you have the Firmware screen this guide will help you get your phone software back up and going (THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED A USB 2.0 PORT): http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html
Good Luck!!
Imporatant: If the OTA update boot looped your phone like mine DO NOT apply any OTA updates your phone tells you to apply because the same thing will happen again (Trust me I tried it)
craincrizzy, much thanks. Well written. I finally got the phone up. Good to be back in business. Thank you a million times again!
Good to hear. Glad I could help.

What did you flash, what error does it display, is it "secure boot error", which version of g3 do you have, can you access recovery, do you have TWRP...?

i used ioroot to root the g3 (D855), and i flash with twrp-2.8.0.0_d855-signed.img. Yes i believe it was the secure boot error. After that the notifications lights at the topped flashed blue and red i turn the device ofd to restart and it will not turn on i have tried both to get into the recovery menu (power+vol down) and download menu (power+vol up) neither of which is working.

Ok... Lets start with battery pull in and out.
Even if you do recive secure boot error for booting to the unbumped recovery you should be able to boot to the OS, try with that.
If this fails, do the battery pull again and lets try to get you to the download mode. The way you specified (power+vol down) is incorrect I belive. What you need to do is hold the volume button WITHOUT the power button which will be followed by connecting the device to the PC with installed LG drivers.
If that works you could flash stock files, follow the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
Check in device manager how is the phone detected what mode ...

Does it get into download mode? For this one get the battery out and wait 2 secs. Plug it back in. Be sure to have an USB Cable ready plugged in the back of the PC (NOT IN FRONT HUB and be sure to be the original Cable). Hold Volume UP and Plug the cable. Keep holding Volume UP until you see download. Tell me if you see the Firmware Update screen or it is a security error.
i have facing this issue since when i unroot my g3 d855 then i forget to close the lg flash tool and accidently i plugged my phone to computer then it went to firmware upgrade mode then i unplugged immediately.Since then my phone stuck in security boot error and i cant go to download mode and the recovery(power+volume down) is also not working,plz help plz..

FIRST install the DRIVER from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
See in the part 2015 with TOT files...
(if any other drivers are present, uninstall them and do a clean install)
You need to get in Download mode to be able to fix it without having to open the phone.
1. Unplug phone from pc and power off
2. Remove back cover and remove the battery
3. Plug the micro-usb cable into the phone
4. Press and HOLD the VOLUME DOWN (make sure you press it from the edge, far from the powerbutton)
5. Put the battery - Dont let go of Volume Down yet.
6. Connect the micro-usb cable to the pc - Dont let go of volume down yet
7. Wait for the pc to recognize it, and the download mode appears on the phone, now you can let go of volume down
Repeat again, first time might not work.
