Rooted my G2 and I was able to successfully load the latest cyanogenmod. After doing this I tried adding the bacon bits add on and after the reboot i kept getting these force shutdowns on all applictions. Tried to recover using clockwork but it would no longer boot to clockwork recovery. Thought I could just try a factory reset but now it is stuck at the HTC screen. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.
Update: Unable to use ADB while in fastboot or hboot, my computer does not recognize it. It does however recognize it when I am in Android system recovery. On the bottom in yellow it says E:Cant open /cache/recovery/command.

Why the hell are all of these people trying to install baconbits on Cyanogenmod? ALL OF THE FEATURES OF BACONBITS ARE ALREADY IN CYANOGENMOD! THAT'S WHAT BACONBITS IS SUPPOSED TO BE -- THE BEST PARTS OF CYANOGENMOD!
Now about your problem of your computer not recognizing fastboot, install PDAnet to get the drivers for ADB.

Did you try fixing the permissions? You should do a backup, wipe, then flash cyanogen mod. That should work and yea you don't need to install bacon bits

Installed it because im retarded lol. Thanks though. i'll try to get this thing working.

would you by chance tell me how to do this?
thanks

Please close the thread. The issue has been resolved. Thank you again everyone for your assistance.

How we're you able to fix this? I'm having same problem as booting normally it's stuck at HTC screen and attempting to boot into Recovery (Clockworks) it gives me Red triangle error. I attempted Factory Rest, but it didn't work either.
Can someone help me on this?

Nevermind. Zinx in IRC was nice enough to explain to me that the triangle is stock recovery and if you hold Vol.UP/Power it gives you the options.

Stuck at google logo, recovery mode doesn't work?

I seem to have messed up the process. I successfully unlocked and rooted my Nexus 7 but during wipe process using JROM flasher something didn't go right and now I'm stuck at the google logo screen forever. I can boot into fast recovery mode but that's about it. I can't do anything.
I've had this done before on my nexus phone but it seems I managed to f it up this time.
I thought I had a rom zip file copied on to the Nexus 7 but it doesn't show in the menu. Now I'm stuck at the logo screen not having access to any roms to install. How do I reset all of this to factory? I've already checked most of the threads regarding this and haven't been able to find a solution yet.

before you do anything, use your recovery to see if the rom zip is located in /data/media/0/. if its there, flash it from that location.

Are you able to boot into recovery?
If yes, it could be as simple as plugging your tablet into the computer and mounting the usb, drag and drop the rom, and flash it without using a toolkit (only recovery). I'm not familiar with jrom flasher, but i will say the more variables there are, the more chance of a problem.
If no, you're best off running the stock factory image through your computer, found here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi. I had your problem at one point, and could not even boot into recovery. After trying to install cwm through adb (which failed), and a number of toolkits, the factory image was what brought my nexus back to life.
I remember reading that sometimes a wipe can delete your recovery as well as your system (and whatever else you have on your n7), although i dont know if that was ever fixed, as i got my tab replaced a month or two ago and havent rooted it again yet. There was some type of command or .zip or something that should be used to keep recovery after wipes. When i expirienced problems such as yours, it was also from a bad wipe from a toolkit. Using just the recovery afterwards, i never expirienced any issues, even without the recovery fix.
I would definitely try simms suggestion first if you can access recovery. If that fails, try one of the above processes.
PS, even if you can access recovery, if at this point you just want to go completely stock, the factory image will work regardless.
cheers

Thanks for the help guys, I've been struggling for the past 3~4 hours but I found a solution.
What I did was use JROMFlasher and upload a rom zip to the sdcard directly and go from there.

Totally Bricked my G2! Please help!

Hi all,
As the title suggests, I have a bricked phone.
A little background, I rooted the phone then installed CWM. After that I installed CM10.2 but didn't care for it so decided to use Scotts stock rooted rom. To install that you have to have TWRP so installed that using Loki/adb. TWRP booted fine but when I went to do a wipe it hung at formatting cache. I rebooted and tried it again with the same results. I decided to try to install the rom anyway (dumb I know) and now all I have is a blank screen. No LG logo or anything. When I connect it to my pc windows recognizes like 10 different drives. I can't get it into download mode or recovery.
Am I screwed and need to see if ATT will replace it or is there a work around for this?
Thanks!

Wiping takes a long time. let it run and finish... could take 10 minutes or more.
how are you trying to get into recovery?

Yeah I let it run for about 15 minutes which is considerably longer than it usually takes on any other phone I've done (many).
Tring to get to recovery using the power key method.
The thing is that it never gets to the LG logo. Nothing shows up on sceen at all but it is on.

I'm in the same boat except I never installed a custom recovery or rom. Have you tried fastboot?
If it boots directly to a black screen (no lg splash), i'm sure ATT won't have any issues taking it back as they won't be able to see that it's rooted.

http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-unbrick-lg-g2-back-to-stock.html Here's a way to unbrick g2

Yeah I tried the flash tool too. No luck as I couldn't get into download or recovery.
I wound up taking it back to ATT and they gave me a new one no questions asked.

[Q] LG G2 stuck on TWRP menu bootloop

Hi . I purchased a used LG G2 and didnt know that teamwin was installed or if it was stock or rooted.
I noticed an update available and downloaded the same, post which my phone restarted and is now in a bootloop of Team Win recovery Projects menu.
I am not able to get the phone to boot Android anymore
Request all of my senior colleagues to help me as I am a total Newbie and tried to get it fixed from the LG service center but even they couldnt do it as the process is getting stuck at the same place each time.

Recovery-Mode
Can u acsses recovery menu?
Turn phone completly off then hold volume down and home button when screen shows LG then again volume down and homebutton.
Then it should popup a white screen that says Hard Reset.
Now press Home button twice.
Now recovery should load.
Now u select wipe data factroy reset and swipe to right.
Now select reboot device.

Hello.. I am afraid that in panic i might have formatted everything with TWRP. That might include a rom file.
I tried the power volum buttom---- Got to the white screen----pressed power button to confirm format----It rebooted and got me to the same Team win screen
I also tried putting the following in the terminal command but ended up stuck at the LG boot screen Logo
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Yes I did. It asked me to reboot, so I did. and after reboot it gets stuck at the LG boot Screen logo.

To go back to completely stock you will have to do it with a kdz, there is a guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625044
Otherwise the easiest solution would to be to flash a flashable rom either stock or aosp, there are now stock kitkat versions flashable but for me to help you with this i need to know what recovery version you are on and your phone variant.

I am having a similar issue, I've wiped my stock rom using TWRP, unfortunately the Rom I was trying to install is corrupted and now I am stuck. For some reason Mount and ADB sideload options arent doing anything for me i.e. my phone does not show up on my PC.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok so the phone does show up under device manager but Windows is complaining that the drivers arent installed. I know the drivers are installed because I used the same machine to root the phone not too long ago via ADB and everything worked fine. I've tried downloading drivers from LG site and re-installing them but for some reason the phone still isnt getting recognized under device manager

Ok one of your problems will be that that version of TWRP is very outdated now and has a lot of issues,
Start by downloading this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449679 and flashing it via twrp that will give you version 2.7.0.0
(You can use adb to push this file to your phone to flash or alternatively, the easiest method is either a usb otg cable or otg flashdrive then you can just put the files you need on flashdrive and plug into your phone).
Then if you want a stock based rom and don't wont to follow the instructions from the link i gave you the other day you can install this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505682
Just follow the instructions on the page, this ROM is basically completely stock with some added tweaks.
The issues you have been facing with the rom installs failing will most likely just be caused by the outdated version of twrp you are using.
Hope this helps and good luck. ​

[Q] Stuck on LG logo

I recently purchased a lg g2, the korean variant f320s, it was running kitkat with a lot of bloatware on top. I successfully rooted the phone and after that i found a cwm recovery installer for this version of the phone and i hooked up the phone and ran the installer on my pc, it finished installing and the phone rebooted into the custom recovery which was in chinese i went into a menu option and then pressed the back button on the screen and the phone instantly rebooted and got stuck at lg boot logo. Is there anyway to fix this? i have tried wiping cache, dalvik and factory reset from the recovery that i can access(chinese or something) but to no avail. I can access the download mode but my pc does'nt recognize the phone and this step is crucial for i guess installing the stock rom through lg flash tools. The phone however is recognized when im in recovery and i plug it in but it only shows as a drive that is faded out and entering it shows nothing. please help me i just got it two days ago

Yeah you just need to flash a different rom through the sd card i tried cloudy rom but it didnt work then a i tried Lamhoang rom and it did the trick im on jellybean now though and i'll try flashing something else in a month or so

ALL FIXED
You are a legend!! Device back up and running.
Okay so I installed that same rom you did but the home/back/menu buttons weren't working so not wanting to muck around, I did some quick searching (which I should have done before >.<) and worked out how to get the Cloudy roms working on a korean device.
You need "Philz cloudy f320 recovery", the kitkat baseband and the rom. LINK
1 - Install the new recovery from zip and then boot back into recovery after this. You will now be greeted with philz recovery which is awesome.
2 - From here, proceed to install the rom as noted on the rom page.
This process worked for me for the Cloudy G3 V1.3 rom.
Thanks a lot for your help!! happy to return the favour! But i am hoping the above info already does that. :victory:

Good to know you got it working again i still cant figure out why this problem occurred in the first place why did the phone brick from the recovery when the recovery was working fiblne after? Also i can just get the new recovery over the one already on the phone without removing the previous one right? Thanks for the info im gonna try out the cloudy roms soon

I have no idea.. something to do with that chinese recovery I am guessing.. There are still a few issues I am going to address but for now my phone is 95% working.
The only issue is that if I try go into download mode, it still doesn't go to the second screen (All i get is the small blue dots). Bit of a pain because that's something nice to fall back on if you ever need to.
I'll search around and try and figure these out in the next week or two, but I am happy with what I have for the moment.
Yep, you literally install the new recovery over your current one and then you can restart phone back into your rom and then reboot back into recovery using an app or the button method.
