[Q] Flashing through Download mode - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

LG G2 Verizon Wireless, locked bootloader
I was trying to wipe my data through TWRP for G2, when it crashed. Not able to boot into recovery, and when putting the phone in download mode, the Windows Flash Tool (UpTestEx) does not give any errors, but the phone doesn't seem to do anything.
Any ideas?

Go back to stock

That's why you flash a stock rooted MF9 ROM if you want to be on the latest and rooted.

S4 rebooting as soon as I boot it!?
Hi!
So I followed Djembeys guide to root my s4 back when ME2/MF2(or smthn in that matter)was the newest firmware avable. But now I wanted to go back to stock and update my phone and as stated in the guide that would be no problem, well OTA didn't work so i did it via Kies. It worked as expected for a while before my phone started freezing and rebooting itself forever, like as soon as i get into the launcher.
Things I've tryed to do:
*Checking in download mode that everything is official, it is, and the phone doesn't seem to reboot while in download mode, should I flash a stock rom, I mean, what if the phone shuts off in the middle of the process?
*Doing a factory data reset via stock recovery, the "android" in recovery falls down and a triangle at his stomach. However the data reset worked, but it didn't solve the problem, still reboots but now when the phone is trying to set itself up.
What can i do guys? You think i can send it back to the store seeing everything is official in download mode?

First one to help me wins a thousand dollars...

I am rooted on a mdk build. I was previously rooted and had twrp custom recovery. Ran bunch of roms then kinda got tired of messing around and always having to do a full wipe in order to try different roms so I uprooted and went back to stock completely.
It hasn't been a week and I already decided to go back to root and throw on a different rom. I rooted again, but am having a lot of trouble installing twrp and clockwork recoveries.
When I try goomanager I come to the screen to install the recovery and I get a "webpage not available" every time. When I try to do it manually I get a fail message. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong.
Through clockwork, I install the recovery, and it tells me that it was installed successfully. I try to access it and I get the Verizon error message saying that unauthorized software was found and to shut the phone off and bring it to nearest vzw, Yea Ok!
So I'm lost at this point, anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Best way out of this.
Install CyanogenMod Installer on your desktop and plug your phone in. It will install cwm and custom rooted phone. As simple as that.
I did the same as you and this I found really easy and fast

What I would do personally then is download Kies on desktop and do a full system restore. I lost my Recovery by going from routed to stock and couldn't do anything at all.
This sorted it all out.

Don't use goomamager. Try this. Sorry looked through your first post again.
Download a cwm recovery, go to recovery and flash it through there. If that doesn't work then see if you can find a 'flashable in Odin' ROM that confess with CWM that comes with it. Try that. That will definitely work.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk
I would have done that but when I try and get in the stock recovery, I get the Verizon error messaging saying unsupported software. I can't get into stock recovery at all.

Same issue I had. I just went into download mode and flashed a CWM through Odin. Or a ROM through Odin. Keep trying that maybe

Any time I try to install recovery through Odin I get the fail message. Thanks for your help.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app
Odin the stock firmware and start all over. Root, then use rom manager or goo manager to put in the custom recovery. Then get rid of the manager.

Freegee fully supports the g2. For recoveries you get cwm or twrp.

I would veriy Roms for at work with new update before you take an ota. On the vs980 I took the 12b ota and found out that not many devs have patched their work to operate with the ota.
Had to flash back to 10b then just flashed the 12b radio

Freegee
I am running Verizon LG G2 on 12B rooted, stock rom and have CWM with Freegee
I ran two backups and want to flash a custom rom but worried about after you flash the new ROM is CWM and Freegee still gonna be there???
I have tried to get into recovery with holding the Vol + up and power but it just boots normal...
I see some of you are using Flashify root but if I want to use that how do you remove Freegee and CWM?
Also I can see my backups while in recovery on cwm but with phone on and using Astro File Manager I go into the Clockworkmod dir and don't see my backups in there.
Any thoughts. I am gonna wait to flash new rom until I know for sure I can if need be get to my backups.
Update--->> Installed TWRP and now I can see my backups and get into recovery by holding both volume down + power. As soon as the LG logo comes up release it and immediately do the same thing again and hold them down. It will bring you to a reset screen and you hit power 3 times. and it starts TWRP.

Had the same issue a few days ago. TWRP, CWM, and Philz wouldn't flash properly, but I'm pretty sure it was my fault. Currently I have CWM installed by FreeGee (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free).
WARNING: You should know that there is a risk with using FreeGee. If you don't plan to use download mode, you're good. But currently, I am without download mode after flashing. Still trying to figure out a way to fix it. System works, recovery works, but I cannot revert to stock at the moment.

Are you sure the phone turns off ? Or is the screen blank? (not off but rather gray?)

OK, let's return to the start.
1. You're sure it's rooted and SU is working? Rootcheck is on the play store and you can use that to check
2. In FreeGee, did you tap on a recovery on the bottom? And did FreeGee freeze on this step? Did you give FreeGee root access/permission?
3. If FreeGee installed a recovery, it won't automatically reboot. Have you attempted to reboot into recovery? If you're not sure if it has installed, I would not recommend going through the hard reset page because if it's not actually installed yet, you would go through a factory reset. You could download an app to boot into recovery though (I.e. CWM ROM manager, TWRP, or quickboot. All free on the play store.)
