Okay so I have the sprint LG G2 and was being an idiot messing around with the hidden menu and I selected an option fota update test or something and my device rebooted. Now it only reboots into recovery mode. I have TWRP 2.6.3.2. It tells me that it cannot find my backup. The Log file says E:storage partition //twrp/backups not found. I dont know what to do. Ive tried flashing roms, but it just reboots back into recovery every time even when I tell it to reboot bootloader. Any Ideas?
It's fixed! I used the Lg flash tool with the sprint .tot file and she is alive! Thanks all of you I appreciate it.

*sigh*...why do ppl that dont know what the heck they are doing still tinker with the settings? Just don't access the hidden menu and flip switches thinking it will have zero effect.

Okay i'm asking for help thats all. I know what I did was stupid. I'm trying to sideload the stock rom but it keeps getting stuck at 84%. The problem I think, is the boot partition is all messed up.

This is what you need to do.Dont worry nothing is messed up,the phone will be back after this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
I did the second option since i find it easier to do.
you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Hey thanks for responding. I tried doing that just now and it still keeps rebooting in recovery. I did the first option though. I cant find where to enter commands on TWRP. It just tells me to pick a folder.
Can anybody help? I'm pretty desperate here. I just dont know why twrp deleted my backup. I had one on there that I used all the time and now it says it cant find it. It just keeps rebooting into recovery mode.

I just tried that same result . Every time I reboot it goes back into recovery its stuck in a recovery bootloop.
If you typed it properly and it doesnt work,then i dont know...I have done what you did before to try it out,since i knew how to fix it.And it worked just fine.

are you on sprint? Thats what im on. I tried that method,but got stuck on this part: 4) Now unplug your phone, power off and then go back into download mode again, volUp+USB. It should immediately connect and start flashing.
When I would go to unplug it and reboot into download mode it just wouldn't do anything the app would just say ready.
I somehow got my nandroid back but when Its done flashing it just reboots back into recovery. I dont know whats going on.
Man this is so frustrating. Ive tried all these things and it still only boots recovery even after flashing my nandroid I made awhile back. Im stuck and dont know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Are you sure that you did the 2nd method properly?Try once more and double check what you type.Why this worked for me when i did the same but it doesnt work for you..Nothing much you can do atm either that,or download a kdz rom and try to upgrade with flashtool.
Thanks for trying to help me out. I got it fixed by using the lg flash tool. I feel like such an idiot. Ive been coming around these forums for awhile I just never registered. I consider myself pretty good with tech but im self taught so their is alot of trial and error and noob mistakes. +1

Not sure where the .zip is to flash the entire system..in fact, I don't think that was officially released yet. If you managed to get Clockworkdmod installed, I know there is a system image you can flash in the Dev section here.
Or If I have a nandroid back up how can I get that on m y phone to run that? I have it on the SD part of my card but doest show in the back up and restore file

Ah thats not good,i suppose you dont have a Nandroid either? i suggest you do a nandroid backup right now, format data & cache and try rebooting. If it still doesnt work , your /System partition may be corrupt. best to go with the above mentioned post by klebengan which would return you back to stock.
Mind you, in both cases you would lose your data. so do a nandroid right now, atleast wou would have a chance to extract important data later once you are up and running again.
BTW, This is the wrong place for this thread, it should be in Q & A and i m pretty sure there would be similar or related posts

ok, thanks for the tip but I tried to even follow the Klebengan post but the main problem is that I am not even able to go to the download mode with the volume key up and Plugin in the usb cable.
I have the flash tool and the kdz file but as i said I am not able to go to the download mode so I am not able to use the LG flash tool also.
If somebody can help me with the steps of transfering the zip file in to the phone memory I can atleast try to install the custom rom once the phone goes on and starts than I may try to flash with the kdz file.
pls help

Thankyou my friend but I just got my phone replaced.
I tried flashing X-Note 6.0 and things have gone sour from there. I keep getting bootloop, i'm able to do initial setup until it asks me for gmail, once i input my address, it pulls my name and when it asks me to confirm it, it restarts the phone. Then im able to finish setup, but as soon as i'm back and i reboot again, im stuck in infinite bootloop.
I tried reverting back to stock via odin, but i got bootloop again, fortunately for me, after about 1h, it booted back into OS and i was able to root and reinstall twrp.
I dont have a backup of my EFS, again i'm not even sure thats the real problem, can anybody please help?
EDIT: On stock the bootloop is not infinite, after about 10 minutes the phone eventually boot back in OS

Please help me someone. I tried the EFS fix here with no success. I tried to restore via odin, factory reset, every time i finish initial setup and restore my apps and reboot, it bootloops.
Shot in the dark, but disable auto installing of apps/restoring apps. Could be that it is triggering the bootloop due to an incompatible app with X-Note.
If no good. You gotta be brave and strip that badboy back with a full wipe/dalvik/cache, reflash your stock image (get shot of recovery also) then see if it can get past the bootloop (don't forget to remove your SD Card also if you have one) - Give it shot, see what you come up with.
Also if you're on an N9005 model, head over to Djembays thread and grab an image of him, seems to have gotten a lot of people out of issues (JayTheNut uses his images when he messes up) -
Lemme know how you get on, I'll have a nose around see what else it could be.

I dont think you read the thread. I'm not on xnote anymore, i'm on stock firmware, MJ4, i also have a W8 and the EFS script fix is for international version. I've odined back to stock and all the issues i'm having are also present on stock firmware

Ah ok, so that changes the playing field a little. - Give @CalcProgrammer1 a Message, he uses the W8 and the guy certainly knows a thing or two about it. All I can think of at this time.
EDIT: actually thinking about it, you haven't upgraded your bootloader by mistake have you?
I have a feeling background WiFi scanning is enabled in Settings -> WiFi -> Advanced - I don't think any of the newer ROM updates ever managed to have that not bootloop your phone on reboot. In case you're stumped and can't find the setting, you'll have to hit the menu key on the WiFI screen.

I dont think so, unless flashing Xnote 6.0 or using odin to restore stock does that. Thats pretty much all I did, but i think i might have done something that might have fixed the problem, i'm not sure yet, but i'll confirm shortly

I use the N900T (T-Mo) version, though I guess it's pretty similar to the W8. Unfortunately I don't know anything about the efs side of things on the N900T or equivalents. I've been avoiding the backup and restore functionality in TWRP since it was widely reported to cause bootloops in the first few weeks after release anyways. Have you tried the bootloop fix method over at the T-Mobile N900T forum? I forget what the process exactly was but people reported great success using it (including those who intentionally recreated the problem to test the fix). I did have a similar boot loop issue on my Note 1 which was fixed doing a complete Odin restore with a full factory image (bootloader, system, modem, kernel, recovery, etc. - the entire complete factory restore). I don't know if such a package exists for the N900W8 and that's something I wouldn't use the wrong variant's version of.
odin was one of the first thing i tried, as mentionned the problem was on 100% stock device. Now i've tried formating SD cards and i was able stop the bootloops but now instead i get a worse problem when my phone keep giving me force closes and everytime i dismiss one, another one pops back up and its just a FC Loop:crying:
I have an W8...I also had terrible boot loop problems and I can't quite remember the cause, but this is what fixed it.
Obviously I can't stress enough to read this and type this in very carefully, and that if your phone stops working, turns into a robot, explodes, or tries to kill your dog I'm not responsible .
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Hit "Advanced" Select "Terminal Command"
3. Hit "Select" (lower right corner)..Do not select any specific folder, just hit select..
4. keyboard will open, type in the following commands, make sure you put the spaces and / where they need to be, it needs to look exactly as outlined..
mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p12
Hit Go - The command will run.
Clear the box, type the following command
mkdir /efs
Hit Go - The command will run.
Clear the box, type the following command

Hey dude i think xnote 6 is mk2 based, so what basically is going wrong is that you're trying to downgrade your bootloader. please try flashing an mk2 stock rom ( or an mj7) via odin, that should fix it ..
just my 2 cents
Hi guys i tried everything my phone was in a constant state of bootloop and wouldnt connect to any carrier. Then i came across this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2567133 and now my phone is working, still wont connect to a carrier but the phone is now stable which is a good thing. Hope this helps some of you :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for all the input, as of now, i was able to stop the boot-looping on stock rom, but I do still have major issues like i cannot install twrp, by goomanger it tell me its done but when i reboot into recovery, i end up in stock recovery. And yes, i'm rooted. Also i cannot format my SD card from the OS, it keep telling me the card is being checked all the time. I also have a lot of other small issues that should not be there on a fresh install. i honestly dont know what screwed up so bad but i will try some of the solutions mentioned above and report back.
To me that sounds like your partitions are all screwed up have you tried flashing using a pit file?

Hey guys, I screwed up bad. Im trading my G2 for an M8 tomorow, So I reverted back to my 'stock' restore on TWRP. Not really thinking about it I tried to update to 4.4 directly from the update centre. Now im stuck in a boot loop going into TWRP and it wont let me into the firmware. Can I still follow the thread that tells you how to go back to stock? Im in panic mode right now so im sorry if this has been asked before. Im just writing this so I can maybe get responses while I try and fix it myself.

EDIT: this back to stock thread is very intimidating. If someone could tell me an easier way (if there is one of course) to get back to stock it'd be appreciated.

100% wiped as in you wiped the internal storage as well.
Try to adb sideload a rom to atleast get it to boot something? You'll still have to go back to stock tho..
And if someone sends you a stock rom, that won't help you I wouldn't think. You'd still have twrp if you were to flash that. I'm assuming you want it back to 100% stock, right?

Well, it's too bad the return to stock scares you. I'm not too sure how it works for your variant, but it was pretty straight forward to do on my D800. If you could return it to stock, then update, you could use towelroot to re-root (takes like 10 secs).
Aside from all that, i'm not too sure what else you could do really.

CSE will wipe all for clean flash . Thats the way to go. OI have used Cloudyfa stock for D801 T mobile but it did not have WiFi calling so flashed D80120A_00.kdz , over cloudyfa 2.2 stock .You will have to root it . use towelroot apk and let it rain, then autorec for the recover. Good Luck

It's always a good idea backup to otg on a usb stick. That way if that happens again u can use twrp restore from otg cable
Hey everyone, I have a really frustrating problem, I am currently able to boot into TWRP via hardware method and ADB can see my device as well. However I have tried to install a stock system image through TWRP and I have also tried to install another TWRP backup that a user had posted in the Q&A forum. At one time I was able to successfully boot into the system but my device said encryption unsuccessful. After wiping the system partition and trying to install these images through TWRP I am still unable to boot into the system. Whenever I install them my phone will reboot into TWRP. I am at a loss as to what to do. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions I would appreciate it.

I saw your other post in the other thread, but couldn't reply for some reason.. did you wipe the internal storage before restore?
Yes I did wipe the internal storage, I actually wiped everything the first time I tried to get everything in order and that was my original problem by wiping the system. I didn't realize that wiping internal storage would cause issues but that could have been one of the culprits. I think what finally solved my issue is I installed a deodexed rom and then powered down my device instead of rebooting and it booted up the rom. I had to flash SuperSU from a zip because for some reason the one that was preinstalled with that rom didn't install properly. So I installed the SuperSU zip and I am now officially rooted. Lesson learned DON'T WIPE SYSTEM OR INTERNAL STORAGE lol. I should have known better I have been rooting for awhile now, I just wasn't paying attention it happens to the best of us sometimes. Thanks for your help.

I used the deodexed ROM that is in the development forum. If I can upload it here I will if not just download it put it on your SD card and flash it. It may take a couple tries though I would suggest powering down your phone instead of rebooting it. Then turn it on and it should boot into the new rom. It's basically the same stock rom that our phone comes with. You may have to flash Chainfires SUPERSU zip that's in one of the threads. These steps should get you up and running again. Also if you can see your internal storage you're not encrypted. Hopefully that works for you. Let me know how it goes.
I wasnt able to upload the file from my phone. Just download it from here.

Flashing the rom helped me out. It's a system image file. It's basically the stock rom for our device just deodexed. What exactly happened what did you wipe after your phone booted into
TWRP? If you still have TWRP you're not bricked. If you can flash that image from the thread I copied above then you should be good. You may have to flash SUPERSU to get root back. Also after you flash make sure you're not encrypted if you can see your internal storage partition then you're not encrypted.

when I flashed the rom from your link above it just booted me into twrp again . I don't know what exactly I'm suppose to wipe. I can see internal storage tho so I guess that's a good sign but what's not good is that I can't use my phone :/ I've been rooting for years and can't seem to figure this one out.

When you flashed the rom did you power the phone down and then try to boot into the rom? That's what I did and it worked for me. So don't select reboot into system, I'm not sure why it doesn't work that way. I had to power my device down and then boot into the room. Also if you can see your internal partition in TWRP then you should be good and encryption is not enabled. I know how frustrating this is. Just keep trying eventually that rom should stick.

There a stock rom that I posted a link to a few posts back when I trying to help someone else. Download it put it on your SD card and install it. You don't need to wipe anything it will format things for you. After it installs don't reboot, power down the device and then turn it back on it should boot into the rom. That's what worked for me. I believe there was another way then what I just described it's in the same thread that I linked a few posts back. Good luck!!

Thanks for the help brother. However, it did not work for me. I flash the stock system, boot, turn device off and turn back on but I am still stock on TWRP. I will continue reading and hopefully I will find the answer soon.

Np don't give up, I almost lost hope and then it worked for me.
Like I said there was another method that was discussed that worked for someone else. Try this thread, I know someone had the same issue that you and I had and they finally got it working.

Same. Though I am on US996. Not sure what I did, was exploring some behind the scenes stuff using 'hidden codes' but didn't change any values as I didn't know what they meant in most cases. I rebooted my phone and it went straight to TWRP (3.0.2-1) and it will not boot past TWRP. Occasionally after I've flashed something, it will boot into TWRP and the screen will be unresponsive to touch so I have to pull the battery, but then it will be fine again.
I was in your position not to long ago, I'm currently working on getting a .kdz recovery file for the H918. My progress will continue on it later when finals are over.
