I downloaded the latest Verizon OTA update--I'm rooted and have Philz recovery. All indication from other posters said it should've been fine.
However, that didn't happen to me! It either gets stuck on the LG Splash Logo or boots into Philz recovery. It won't start or update! Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get it back up and running?

You should never do an ota update while having a custom recovery. You can only take the ota if you are stock, stock rooted with stock recovery.

I don't have access to a terminal, though. It appears Philz doesn't have this ability! UGH. I don't know what I was thinking.

Yes! It's plugged in now. I'm having trouble enabling ADB, though (it's not recognizing the device). Any help you can offer will be absurdly appreciated.
You will have to search xda, there are many threads started by people in your same situation. There will be drivers you will need to install.

But they aren't. The issue is that I can't get it to recognize the phone in ADB mode. I can't boot back into Android and change the settings to get it to work. It's simply not finding the phone as an ADB device. I've installed the drivers. None of the other threads are helping, and it's tough to get it to recognize ADB from recovery...
Can you get into download mode?

Well, I managed to get ADB working but that code didn't work. Sigh. Guess there's never been a better time to upgrade to CM 11, right?
And, nevermind, I'm officially ****ed.
The terminal command didn't work, I tried to install CM 11 and it still keeps rebooting back into (now) TWRP. I have no idea how to revert back to stock, especially since I can't get into download mode. I think my phone is ****ed.
If you can get into TWRP, use usb drive formatted to fat32 and drop image on it. Use OTG cabled with drive and flash image from twrp over otg. It appears you have a driver issue pc side. Not recognizing, so. no dl mode switch. Uninstall ALL lg related drivers. Find universal ones(here on forums somewhere from a dev), try abd again. There are multiple ways of fixing this on forums. You still have recovery and soft bricked. Patience buddy, you are in a better solution then others have been. Search, be patient, try and lose some frustration, it will screw you up the ass, your brain will kick in and you will fix this.

If you power the phone completely off, then hold volume up while plugging in the USB to your computer, does it go into download mode then?

I was in the same boat but couldnt even get to recovery or download. It seems the OTA is screwing up the cache partition if you have a custom recovery or root.It took me a long time and lots of help from @Shelnutt2 and [MENTION=1850677]autoprime on irc #lg-g2 to get it working. With adb working though- it was just a couple of dd commands to fix, but it was beyond my scope-- these guys helped me tremendously and I am back to life.
once in adb- these were the commands that fixed it:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

So I've been messing around with android phones for a while now and I'm stuck. I was on the oxygen 2.1.6 Rom then decided to make a back up. However instead of going into CWR it just went into fast boot. When I go into recovery it just says fast boot mode no reboot or recovery img. I tried to odin back to stock like I usually do but adb wont recognize my device like it usually does. Please don't tell me I'm bricked and that I messed up bad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I tried reinstalling drivers etc etc. Somebody help me lol

It sounds like you flashed a bad recovery. Download a new recovery , boot into fastboot, and

Adb only works when the phone is booted normally, provided usb debugging is on.
Use fastboot. If you want to make sure it's working, boot into fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot devices
If it's working, you will see your serial number.
If the other options can't help you get your problem solved try Odin.
www.samfirmware.com
get the right files for your device and Odin program itself. There are tutorials on here how to use it.
sorry I was being an idiot. I tried fastboot and it showed nothing connected. When I flashed a recovery it just hung waiting for device. I have all the drivers loaded on the computer but my device is still unknown and wont be recognized. I have all the odin files and I have used odin before. This sucks
btw appreciate the help guys

Try installing pdanet, that will install all the drivers you need for fastboot and Odin.

Maybe not, but it does include some handy files. ;-)
Download and unzip Shabby's OneClickRoot
Install pdanet. (See the readme for which one.)
Reboot your computer.
Then try using his version of fastboot.
I'm assuming you are in fastboot mode (it will say so) and that you're using the usb cable that came with the phone.

I tried this, along with everything else, and my phone is still stuck in a boot loop. I cannot enter download mode. I was rooted with custom recovery, but i could never get the recovery to work. I tried to update to the OTA (i know, i know) and it killed the phone. Now when I connect it nothing happens other than a bunch of drive popups asking if i want to format. No download or recovery mode. only the LG logo screen and then a quick flash of the "Secure booting error Error: Boot Certification Verify!" screen, and nothing else since.
The main issue is that i cannot get my phone to be recognized by the computer for any type of reflash. If I could get into download mode, I could handle it from there. I hope I don't have to buy a new phone. Im not sure how verizon would feel about it if I took it back to them and it shows as rooted.

this worked for me, and will work for those of you who are stuck in recovery boot loop... this is caused from installing an att update on a rooted device with a custom recovery and or rom. so heads up, if your rooted and you have a custom recovery and or a custom rom, NEVER install a OTA update!!!
so folow the instructions in the link, basically while in twrp, you use the amazing terminal emulator feature to type in the foillowing command, and viola! your phone will boot into the OS!!! make sure to type it in exactly as shown , with spaces and all... good luck!
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

I have a rooted d802 with stock rom. All was just fine and i noticed there was an update available from LG... categorized: under system/app update.
I downloaded it and as soon as it restarted my phone, it came to the recovery screen... and it is there... i tried rebooting, hard reboot, fiddle around with options that cwm offers me but nothing seems to be working...
Has anyone else had the issue? I do i get my phone to reboot ..? I know i can just download another rom and flash it through cwm but im quite happy with the stock and would like to get my phone back with minimum effort and more importantly data loss. I have no backups whatsoever.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

You won't lose internal by pushing a ROM. The flash tool will. I don't think there is a way to just make it go back to the way it was.

This thread helped me month ago.
1. You need to install Koush Universal ADB Driver for LG G2.
2. Connect your G2 with ADB. With that universal driver ADB will find your phone.
3. And after you have ADB access, run this:
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
4. Reboot with CWM or type reboot in ADB.

Hello,
SOOOOooooo I posted a thread a few days ago. Bear with me, this introductory post is long BUT it is worth including all details I can right from the start to cut down unnecessary communication.
Here goes the continuation in some kind of a bullet form timeline format:
-Bought fully functional d801
-rooted (using ioroot) and unlocked succesfully
-attempted to install twrp using freegee (it didnt work giving me comparable results to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50501346&postcount=867)
-went on to install it manually from terminal emulator (I installed the rogers version as suggested by another user here as this is exactly my situation: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50502408&postcount=869
***
PROBLEMS STARTED HERE
***
-Tried many things
-Lost sleep
-Flashed succesfully using flash tool to the original firmware (D801V11B_00.kdz The EXACT same as the original. This is a Videotron (canadian) phone) I even flashed it twice. (still had the exact same issues
-Hard resetted countless times
-lost faith in humanity
Thats basically it so far.
Here are the symptoms:
-Imei = null
-Phone resets/reboots randomly and consistently every 5 to 15 seconds
-I can get all the way through to the android os all seems normal Except:
-No keyboard. ever.
-no wifi
-camera even works
-cant get into security and settings (crashes automatically into reboot)
Very good recent news thanks to advice from a memeber on here:
I tried in vain connecting to adb (always giving "offline") until someone suggested trying a different architecture (x64vsx86) or just different pc altogether.
It worked. Now the device is recognized and it says : "some serial number" device
and not "offline" as before
inputting "adb shell" yields: "[email protected]:/ $"
I am open to answer any question.
I am open to try anything.
This phone is a total loss right now so I am obviously open to anything. :laugh:
Phone is still rooted according to "download mode" interface.
Stock recovery installed right now.
I have what I believe to be EFS backups outputted by the initial Ioroot rooting automation (modemstat1.img and modemstat2.img)
You folks are the best.
Much peace and love.:good:
Your t-mobile, right. D801? (Not 100% on that) if you are, you need lg flash tool. I don't have a link because I'm on my phone but it's around. You need to download the T-Mobile files in the 1st post of the thread. Just follow the directions. Wish I had links

Ok really good news :laugh::good:
Making slow but certain progress here.
So just to update also: I now CAN acces the phone from my computer when I put it in PTP (camera) mode.
First I realized that root was installed but that I did not have the supersu installed. I realized this because I could not access "su" in adb shell.
So I reinstalled the ioroot. Complete success. Super su is in the apps and su commands work.
Next I went on to download the rogers TWRP file (even though my phone is a videotron phone) and install it using this:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
Which worked!!!
I went to hard reset data and booted into the twrp interface.
I wiped everything from within twrp and went to reboot. it then informed that supersu was NOT installed on my phone and to slide the bar over if I wanted to install so I said yes...
But kind of bad news now:
Stuck at lg logo...:silly: Stays at lg logo and led is lit up changing from blue to green.
So what now?
Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot for the help everyone.:good:

Did you take any backup using TWRP earlier? If yes then restore it.
If no then you can push another ROM for your device on to sdcard using ADB and install it and see.

This was with omni and cm11. Going to try with a stock rooted rom as soon as it finished downloading.

Just get a latest version of the recovery for your device and install it.

Ok so I managed to update the recovery to TWRP v.2.6.3.4
Installing all zips is working now.
I tried many combination of cm11 with kernels from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611749
Furthest I got was cyanogenmod logo on bottoms of screen for 10 seconds then boot and looping of the same thing over and over.
Omni rom also loaded up til the logo same thing though after.
Bell stock rom is still downloading I will update when I have tried it.
Any reason why the roms would bootloop like this?
Thank you again. I cant believe the progress you have helped me make...:good: I feel like it is possible I am very close to a functional phone again (maybe just maybe hehe)

I remember I had same problem. I use to restore only the boot partition from a backup of a stock rom.
So try installing a stock rom like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2595586. If it works then boot into recovery and take a backup then install whatever you want to and the just restore the boot partition if your are stuck at boot logo.

Ok just finished installing the stock bell rom from the site I linked in a previous post.
Stock D803 rom with stock D803 kernel, both installed succesfully.
Phone is back to exactly how it was when I started this thread. EXCEPT that I now also have TWRP running alongside it.
So that includes:
-*#06# = IMEI Null
-phone reboots randomly every 5 to 15 seconds
-keyboard never comes up
-widgets always have a "loading" circle spinning on them
-trying to enter security and settings = auto reboot
-all other options are accesible and useable as long as no keyboard is involved since it never comes up
-no wifi
Wow, this is one hard to fix phone.
Or it simply has hardware damage. but I doubt it since it has no issues running recovery.
Any ideas?:laugh:
Hello my fellow humans of planet earth. So... With this being the first ever thread I open I get to say right from the very start that I am no pro at rooting / installing custom roms and similar stuff. I am more of a DESKTOP guy...
In any case... Yesterday I messed up big time, and don't get me wrong, I did my research... Anyway. What happened was I was updating to the latest version of CM 12.1, and just as I went in TWRP and tryied to start flashing, I got an error and no update. Then, smart me, tryied installing another update, a bit older, but still newer than the one I had running. This one probably was a bad zip and destroyed my installation of CM12... Then, even smarter me, decided it was a good idea to format and try to get CM12 anew. The TL;DR here is... I have no CM, when I connect the phone via usb it recognises it but it says "This folder is empty", so doesn't show anything on the pc side..., and the strangest problem of them all is that TWRP has gone CRAAAYYYYY! Man... Currently, the phone boots only in TWRP, but TWRP is unusable. The touch is not working properly, as I tap "wipe" for example and it opens "settings", for example. Even If I am able to actally click something, I can't do sh*t because I can't use the "slide to do w/e" ....
I am so confused. I tryied using methods like the TOT unbrick and it starts flashing and then it reboots... but into TWRP, I have no controll over anything. I even tryied some ADB stuff I found online but had no luck with that....
ANY kind of help would be worth a lot.
In any case, due to my limited internet access these days, I won't be able to see answers immediately but will probably be able to do so in some hours!
Guys, please.. for the sake of humanity, help.

Are you able to get into download mode? You can do that by holding the power button for 30 sec to power down your phone. Then hold volume up and then plug in the USB. You should get into firmware update screen.

Are you positive that you have an official d802, because there are a lot of refurbished lg g2's that claim they are d802 but in actuality they have d800/d802 motherboards. The only way to find out is to open your phone and look at the model. Open the phone then remove the power button cover, from there there should be a flex cable running from the top left to a secondary board. Lift that wire up and look at the silver square box and it should have your motherboard model.

I think the fact that I have had a similar experience to what I am facing now in the past, and fixed the phone using the TOT method FOR the actual D802, which worked, is enough. If not.. I might as well check it...

The reason I ask is because the touch is usually jumpy when you install a ROM that is different from your device model. Are you able to get into adb sideload?

No.. TWRP is kinda unusable... I followed a tutorial by HighOnAndroid the other day, and I installed some driver and I am able to interact with the phone using ADB with a fastboot folder I have. I don't know if it is the same thing though.

Try install kouch adb drivers, and download minimal adb and fastboot (Google) and then attempt to start adb sideload. But first can you check your device variant. We don't want to brick your phone.

Ok. So I did that, and now I have a cmd running which reads:
C:\Program Files <x86>\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>
I don't even know if that is what I had to do..

I do have to confess... my TWRP was working great, ...UNTIL me being smarter than usual followed some guide I found online trying to get CM12.1 and used an app called AutoRec or something... which wasn't nessessary since I already had TWRP.. and then this happened. TWRP has gone nuts.

Try figuring out how far off your touches register with your phone. And then try to swipe once you find the pattern

I already have. Here's the funny part though.. I don't have enough screen... hahaha... I registers my touches a bit lower and I cannot go that low... I get that we have a problem here...
The only thing I was able to think of Is trying to emulate the phone through the pc, but I don't know If I can do that without actually having a working Android going...

Are you able to take a video of what happens when you flash a tot file. I have never seen that before and maybe the video will help clear some things up. Right now thinga aren't looking good. But don't lose hope there is a method but it is very very tricky/hard.

Okay, since your in side load. Go to the computer and go to the minimal adb and fastboot folder. Click **** + right click. Select open command line here. Type in "adb devices" and tell me if your device is recognized.
