When I try to get into recovery I get a black screen. Then I get the LG logo with a few lines of white writing in the upper left corner for half a second, too fast for me to read what the words say. Right after that my phone looks like it powers off, but it doesn't the screen just goes dark. After I have held the power button for about 10 seconds the phone reboots, optimizes all 247 of my apps, and takes me back to my rom completely skipping recovery. I have tried every way to get into recovery... rebooting through TiBU, goo.im, flashify, rom installer, adb, etc. I have tried going into download mode, all to no avail. I have tried to reinstall twrp 2.6.3.3, cwm, twrp 2.6.3.2 through goo.im, adb, and rom manager. I have linked to a youtube video of what I am talking about. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This all happened after I tried to upgrade my TWRP to 2.6.3.3. The rom that I am on works perfectly, but I do not want to be stuck on it forever.

bad flash. Same exact thing happened to me. Use Flashify to go back to TWRP 2.6.3.2 IMG downloaded straight from TWRP (Google TWRP LG G2). Then you can try again to upgrade to 2.6.3.3 by installing the ZIP file in TWRP recovery (I got mine from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472223 since the one on TWRP's site was giving me flashing errors). I have .3 working on my VS980 now. The .3 VZW IMG file provided at the above link actually was the one that gave me the black screen...
If Flashify doesn't succeed in reinstalling the 2.6.3.2 IMG, then I have no idea....

Thank you for your help! That was exactly the problem. the fix was very simple. I just had to make sure that I applied the fresh twrp 2.6.3.2.img using flashify. the image directly from twrp. On a sidenote it seems as if the 2.6.3.3.img directly from twrp is bad... I'm content with staying on 2.6.3.2 for now since it works. Thanks again.

I have the LG G2 Verizon
Was on the 12B OTA when I rooted using ioroot 19 and flashed twrp 2.6.3.3 using freegee from playstore.
I went into twrp Flashed ROM Malladus 1.2.5 The LG apps and JB apps
After the 3 zip files were successfully installed. I rebooted system. The LG logo came on for a second and the screen turn black. I left the phone for 30 minutes hoping it was part of the ROM loading.
I can go back to twrp holding down power button + volume down and do a factory reset. Tried re installing ROM and apps. Same thing happens again.
I haven't tried to format data because then I won't have a ROM to install and reading other posts it just doesn't help.
I've read threads how to get back to stock rom but I don't know if that's my solution to my problem.
Can someone please help and give a step by step.
Thank you,

This is the reason you are unable to flash Malladus 1.2.5 and have it boot properly.

Oh I wow I had flashed the ROM the same time that guy posted. Well thank you for that link.:good: I'm just happy it wasn't something really bad like the point of no return to use my phone.
Do you think I can perform 2. Copy the boot.img installing section from updater-script (under META-INF) from 1.2.2 into 1.2.5 and then install
By sideload on twrp?
For some odd reason, I am unable to successfully flash a TWRP recovery image to my D800. When I download the TWRP .img from the TWRP website and flash with flashify, it will not boot into recovery. It reboots into a black screen with small white text in the upper-left corner. I had successfully flashed TWRP earlier on, but then wanted to flash a new version and it hasn't worked since. Any ideas or solutions? I have the D800, no OTA. Thanks!
EDIT
Disregard this post, found "freegee" on the play store and it worked flawlessly.
I was trying to upgrade from CM11 to CM12, which went smooth except for GAPPS closing constantly. I read online that this was caused by an old version of the recovery, so I tried to update TWRP to 2.8.4.0. I first tried using the TWRP app from the Play Store (after recovering my Nandroid backup), which locked the phone where it would only try booting into recovery, but couldn't get there. Holding the power button to turn it off would result in a reboot right back into recovery, which of course never went anywhere. Now I am trying to re-install TWRP using ODIN but It fails every time [Complete(Write) operation failed.] I have an early S4 from AT&T and it has never had an official update. I can't remember which firmware it is using, but it is the original so I shouldn't have any problems there. Can anybody help me get this thing up and running with either TWRP or CWM and CM12 please?!
Update: I have been able to get the phone to boot by first booting into Download mode, then hitting the Volume Down button to cancel. This has twice booted it back into the OS. Still no recovery though.
Solved
I was able to install TWRP 2.8.4.0 from the app after getting the device to boot. It worked correctly this time and all appears to be well. Odd that ODIN didn't work though.
I am on 6.0.1 CyanogenMod13. I haven't done a whole lot root-wise but just today I was looking to get something from xposed and it turned out I didn't even have it installed, so I downloaded it and installed it but needing to flash the .zip I tried to boot into TWRP recovery. Somehow it got uninstalled or something because I could only get into the LG stock screen asking if I wanted to wipe everything. So I tried to install TWRP using Flashify, I installed and on the reboot it gave me a "Can't Enter Recovery Or Update" and some more things about it on the top left above the boot logo. I can't do anything recovery-wise. I'm looking to sell my G2 but I want to make it stock or at least a clean install and I can't do any of that. What can I do??

This got me down to 4.4.2 but when trying to install TWRP it gives me the same Boot certification error and I can't
EDIT: I used AutoRec on 4.4.2 and I have TWRP working!
Hey there guys,
I was playing around with my phone and I was trying to install a custom recovery. I tried to install CWM but could not find the correct version for my phone online. My phone is a note 3. However I didnt mind this and went ahead with installing a twrp recovery. When i tried to install it I used odin and the AP option. I managed to install it, but there was an error. When i would go into the recovery mode it would only show the two lines of writing as license:recovery. However this was fine as if i didnt go into recovery mode i could still access the phone. Now i installed ROM MANAGER and tried to use that instead of ODIN. However when i pressed open in recovery option the same useless recovery screen with two lines came up. Not even the stock recovery option. Now this is where i Messed up. Now when i turn phone on it boots into recovery which is useless. and then reboots into recovery agian and again. At this point i am unsure what to do. I was hoping to try twrp recovery again but cant as i cant connect to ODIN as i cant open the download screen because it goes straight into the recovery screen. Mega confused at this point and would really appreciate help asap.
Thanks a bunch
Was the phone rooted when rom manager was used?
Did you try downloading the latest stock rom for your phone from sammobile.com and flashing it in Odin?
