Hi,i have been trying to flash the new v20 version to my Lg P880,and i have all the drivers installed,windows enabler etc...everything that says i must do in the tutorial-i did it...
But the problem is i cant enter the s/w mode without the battery.
When i remove the battery,i hold the volume - key and plug my usb cable in,and nothing happens.
I even tried it with volume + or holding both buttons-but it just wont enter the s/w mode.
I can enter it while the battery is still in the phone,but if i take it out-it wont.
What could be the issue?

it doesn't matter if your battery is in or not. try it with the battery still inside - if you can access S/W mode that way.
If you have desktop pc issue can be your PC usb port! Logically your phone need some kind of electric power to operate in SW mode, if you use front pc port or some kind of usb hub maybe they doesn't provide enough power, and when you put your battery its working..try to plug your phone in motherboard's usb port on backside of pc case!
I have similar situation where i had huge amount of different usb devices plugged in my pc, and SW mode only worked with battery...and sometimes lg tool asked me to reconnect the phone at the moment just before flash start (even so my phone was already in SW mode and recognized from lg tool), and then i had to put battery in phone otherwise lg tool said that phone is not conected!
But if you can go in SW mode, than you do not have a problem!
I've installed APX Driver correctly. but My PC cannot detect device in apx mode.. although I've connected it in correct way.
I want to install recovery image. What should I do?
p.s. my 2x (su660) is in stock ICS and rooted.
I have the same problem. Your phone just got a bad USB port, you can notice it when you try to MTP/mass Storage, sometimes works, sometimes won't, the only thing that works everytime is the USB/AC adapter for charging the battery, it seems that only data broke.
I have developed a method to increase the chances of getting smartflash and apx working in this case. First remove battery and USB cable, then:
For Smartflash: hold down vol - > insert USB cable > insert battery.
For APX: hold down vol + and - > insert battery > insert cable.
It's better to do this with device manager window open, because smartflash and apx mode sometimes takes a few seconds to appear under the list, this is to make sure you won't miss the chance when it works.
I tried your "for APX" way.
I held down the vol + and vol -, and insert battery, and insert USB cable to PC.
then my phone's screen shows LG logo, and some seconds after, show the battery charging graphic.

This happens sometimes. Take out your battery and wait 10 seconds or more, then try again.
Also, do it fast, insert the battery then the USB cable right after, don't wait no more than 2 seconds after inserting the battery to insert the cable.
Did you try to mass storage or MPT to check if your USB data is broken like mine? Note that sometimes it works in the first try, just remove the cable and try again, if you get no response from your computer or a "USB Device Not Recognized", your are in the same boat as me.
Since mine is broken, I use AirDroid to transfer files.

I can connect MTP or mass storage both. They works great. but only APX is not working...
I was in download mode connected through usb and accidently pulled the battery out, now the phone won't boot at all. It doesn't even show the samsung screen. Buttons do absolutely nothing, can't boot into recovery mode. Only when I connect through usb to the computer or charger, a little vibration goes off and the loader screen that shows right before going into the green battery charge mode shows up and stays. The phone is absolutely unresponsive at this point. When I disconnect the charger thee preload screen stays on and only taking out the battery completely turns it off. The usb won't recognize it, can't use adb or odin. Please help.
Hi, i have a galaxy s3 and i was using it with a battery which is nearly dead. Last day, phone powered down due to low battery and it does not boot now.
I tried to enter download mode with the combination of [Power + Volume Down + Home] but it does not work.
Made a jig cable with 300K resistor and it does not work too.
I connect it to PC and device connected notif. sound heared but after couple of seconds its disconnected.
Phone vibrating and charge icon appears if i plug charge cable.
Are there another way to enter download mode or i have to flash it via jtag port with Riff Box etc. (bad news is i don't have it)
My phone is not charging with any charger. It doesn't show charging icon and it's not even detected by the PC. The computer detects the phone in fastboot mode but it still doesn't show 'charging'. The only way I could get it charged is by opening up the phone and directly charging the battery via the the +ve and -ve on the USB cable. Please help me out here.
Your device is a Motorola Device right ? Because Motorola Devices have their batteries internal . I suppose you're in the wrong Forum
I have had this problem all you need to do is hold volume down and power button go into bootloader keep it in there plug it into a computer with usb and it should say charging then just keep it in there for awhile and then it volume down and select normal power power on and hit volume up
