Seriously screwed? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Flashed the newest version of Malladus via TWRP 2.6.3.3 and it said it was successful, but now it won't boot at all. It pulls up the LG logo then immediately powers off. Dumbass me forgot to make a backup also...
I can get back to TWRP but ADB isn't recognizing the device even though it was working fine before this flash. So I can't adb sideload the stock rom to flash.
I would just flash back to stock with the LG tool but VolUp + plugging into my computer doesn't put it in download mode either, even though I did that a few days ago fine...
Any ideas at all?
Nevermind, I was able to get it into download mode. I think it wasn't fully turning off.

Were you able to boot recovery with vol down + power?if so you could reflash rom or push ROM to recovery via adb or sideload a ROM via twrp

Make sure you have the latest adb ver installed on computer.you.are using

As opposed to using adb sideload, wht not just push the ROM like you did the recovery?
Before you ask, I have no idea how to push a ROM, but I know it can be done

Updated TWRP and now not booting

I updated TWRP today to 2.3.0.0 from within GooManager then rebooted into recovery and fixed my permission. It was done unusually fast and when I rebooted, it would get stuck on the booting screen. When I tried to boot into recovery by pressing power and both volume buttons, it would get stuck on the google logo.
Please advise.
Any other way I can fix this or somehow restore from a backup?
A lot of users are having issues with cwm and twrp not booting with new boot loader. You can revert back to old version or some have had success by deleting "recovery-from-boot." file. You can look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779092 I'm going to wait patiently for a twrp update that should resolve the issue.

Thank you very much!
I'm sorry but I'm not too much of an expert on Android. AFAIK Recovery mode is the only way I know to do some low system stuff. If I can't boot into recovery, how else can I do anything to fix this?
How can I revert back to old version?
I know you linked the other thread but there are 33 pages I was hoping you would have a short answer hehe thanks.
Is it constantly rebooting at the google screen or just stuck?

If I try to boot into system, it's stuck on boot animation.
If I try to boot into recovery manually (power + volume buttons then select recovery) it would get stuck on Google. It doesn't loop.
I see that you posted over on the twrp thread, hopefully those guys can help you. I am assuming that you have updated to 4.1.2? If you're really stuck maybe try a tool kit like wugs or n7 toolkit? Sorry but SDK isn't one of my strong points either

You can reflash recovery from fastboot. If you've updated to 4.1.2 you might be experiencing same issue as many of us - being unable to boot to recovery. If that is the case, flash bootloader 3.34 from the JRO03D factory image as well.

From what I understand, in order to reflash recovery from fastboot would require me to get the file to the device. However, right now I can't seem to get access at all as it never boots up whether into system or recovery. Are there any other ways to get files onto there?

OK this is weird. I tried rebooting into recovery again and it worked! I then rebooted into system and that worked too! This is so strange because I didn't do anything different. I guess it just took 20+ tries... I am not rebooting in a while... lol

which sounds like you were able to get to fastboot mode (power + vol buttons) - your N7 should look like this. From there you can issue fastboot commands to the device to flash recovery. kerne, and bootloader to name a few.
Actually I spoke too soon.
I can boot into recovery TWRP 2.3 with USB plugged in, but still can't boot into system.
Is it possible for me to downgrade to TWRP 2.2 from within TWRP? I kind of doubt it but am pretty desperate at the moment lol.
Yes, I can get into fastboot, but I'm not sure how to do anything besides pressing volume up or down to start, recovery, fastboot or shut down.

If you can get in to fastboot you are in good shape. :good:
You'll need the fastboot program (and the driver if on Windows) on your computer in order to issue commands. This guide can direct you on how to get that set up.

Fortunately I was able to wipe everything while I was in recovery and restore from my most recent backup and now it's working fine. At the very least it's allowing me to boot into system
OK I'm really not rebooting for a while lol
I installed twrp a few weeks ago through GooManager and made a backup. When the 4.1.2 update came out, I downloaded it manually with the intent on flashing it via cu custom recovery, but low and behold twrp wasn't working at all. Even with my device plugged into my Win 7 pc... nothing but the exclamation point droid.
I was able to install an updated version of twrp and get everything sorted out, but now I don't have a lot of faith in it, and am booting into recovery at least once a day to make sure it's still working. I never had any problems with cwm.
Twrp has been updated if you're still having issues.

Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, load a .zip rom and push it via custom recovery...
.... If not, use ADB to push a reflash of a clean install of 4.3

if you are able to boot to recovery. you have to be in fast boot...
you can either use fastboot to flash over

OTA upgrade problem

Hi
I have an international version 802 version with ROM of g.lewarne inside (rooted)
I've received and accepted the new OTA upgrade, and now i'm stick in the Clockworckmod Recovery.
I've flashed my LG back to the g.lewarne ROM but each time i restart my phone it goes directly to the CWM recovery Mode.
Any suggestion of what to do to get my phone starting normally?

It doesn't go to download mode.
What you need to do to fix this
If you´re stuck in CWM you CAN´T enter in download mode...in this case you have one Option.
download a T/zip file WRP Recovery
and
Plug the usb cable to a computer and enter in cwm recovery
next
adb push "name of recovery".zip /sdcard
next
install the new recovery
open a terminal commando and put this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Reboot
If you´re stuck in TWRP you have 2 options.
Enter in download mode and restore the firmware from LGMobile or from ADB command to restore your boot.
sorry for bad english
the same here...
I now have the stable version of Cyanogen tested install.
Supposedly he is fertig.Als Note is only: Checking if loki - fying is needed, Updating partition details ...
Otherwise Zip Install Complete
After the wipe reboot and again in TWRP.
In the file manager of TWRP is not to be understood that an installation place hätte.Den Downloadmod tried (the button is held down the top of the lens and USB cable plugged in to it) always comes only the LG logo and then again TWRP.

[Q] Boot doesn't go beyond rotating circles. Help!!

I tried to search, but in vain.
Hardware: Nexus 4
Software : Android 4.4.4
For reasons that are not clear to me the machine restarted and is stuck in those 4 rotating circles, and doesnt go beyond it. Tried multiple things such rebooting, rebooting into recovery and booting again, tried adb to see if it can see the machine in recovery mode, but to no avail.
Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.
Did you do anything, flash anything to get the boot loop? Boot loop can usually be cleared by doing a factory reset. But you'll have to reset up your phone afterwards

This is a stock android and have no changes whatsoever except automatic update to 4.4.4. Only thing that is different is it is unlocked.
For last one week the phone kept complaining that it was unable to back up photos and videos. So I kept the wifi on over the night, and next morning I saw what i thought was it was trying to reboot but unable to do.
Is it possible to connect to machine while it is in recovery mode? My ADB can't discover the device either in recovery mode or while it is trying to boot. Is there a way to press some button and hard reset it?

I can get into bootloader - if you mean by pressing down volume button and powering on - so you see a few options such as 'Start', 'Restart Bootloader' et al.'
If I can get into this, what option do I have? How I can I some custom recovery such as TWRP?
Also, I saw a youtube video where a gentleman shows how to completely reset from Recovery mode (hold power button and press up volume key), but that doesn't seem to work for me.

Yes, that's the bootloader. Google 15 second adb install xda and install that. Then download the latest version of this http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/mako
Rename it recovery and put it in the same directory as fastboot.exe which will be installed with the 15 second adb install
Open a Windows command prompt in the same directory as fastboot and then with your phone connected to the pc and in the bootloader type the command in the command window
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
This will instal twrp to your phone

My Biggest concern right now is not TWRP. I need to somehow get the machine to boot. It is stuck in those 4 circling things, and I need to somehow get the OS to work (or re-install if needed).
I am able to get to recovery where I see options to 'apply aupdate from ADB,' 'wipe data' and 'wipe partition'. I have wiped off everything, now I need to somehow get OS to install, and I don't know how. I tried using 'adb sideload 'image-occam-ktu84l.zip', but it fails.That file was extracted from occam-ktu84l-factory-0d3fd624.tgz from Android site.
Update: Great, now TWRP is installed. What next? I don't want CM at this point. Just stock Os. How do I get on to the machine?

I installed both TWRP and CWM alternatively, installed factory images using flash-all.bat, install CM11. But in both cases, 1. factory image : The system get stuck in boot mode where those 4 circles keep rotating around each other, 2. In CM11, the arrow keep rotating indefinitely.
I don't know what else I can do.
Any pointers? Thanks in advance.
I am beginning to suspect hardware malfunction. In which case, is there a log somehow I can see?
As an Aside: 1. Adb refuses to see the device in fastboot mode. Not sure if this is an expected behavior. Fastboot can.
2. Stock Android USB Drivers never work. I had to get the WugFresh Development drivers.
This is Windows 8 environment.

Yes, after locking (fastboot oem lock), bootloader the status says locked and I no longer see that unlocked icon when booting.
- At the moment I have CWM, and I see advanced options to format different folders which I have already done. But what I am not able to do is to use adb to copy the image-occam-ktu84l.zip to sdcard. Only way I have been able to install any zip is using sideload. Is that normal? I wonder if I am following right steps to begin with.
- Also, are there tools that can run and check if emmc has no bad sectors etc?
- In CWM I formatted whole log of folders, and now when CWM boots, it can't find /cache/recovery/* files. Which I take as a good sign - since old stuff is now gone. From here I don't know how to proceed. Any help - very thanful.

If you can side load you should be able to adb push a rom. When in recovery type adb devices. Does it show that your device is connected? Do you get an error?

I can sideload from adb. (adb sideload <filename>.zip while CMW is waiting for abd sideload). But can't push since adb doesn't recognize the device while in fastboot - the way fastboot can.

You have to be in recovery to run adb commands. The bootloader is only for fastboot commands. Try pushing while you're in recovery, not the bootloader.

Here 's what I see when I to sideload,
In CWM, I choose 'install from zip, which takes me to next page where i chose to select from sideload. I then start sideload from 'adb sideload occam-ktu84l-factory-0d3fd624.tgz' (sometime I use the extracted zip from that tgz),
Following is what I see on CMW,
'Restarting adb
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E: Can't open /tmp/update.zip
(bad)
installation aborted'

Ok, you can't use that file (tgz) in cwm, adb or fastboot. What you can do is extract it and then use the zip file. But, you'll have to boot into the bootloader and then use the command
fastboot update update.zip

[Q] Hardbricked LG g2

Hi guys.
I did something really stupid with my brand new lg g2. Wanted a custom rom, so flashed twrp recovery.
Then i wanted to flash the downloaded custom rom, but i somehow deleted everything on the phone.
Then i connected my device to the pc, and tried to sideload the rom. That didn't go well, so now i can't enter recovery or anything.
The phone only shows the LG logo or bootlooping.
Is there any hope?
(I tried to send in my phone during warranty, but they said i needed a new mainboard - which is very costly)
You don't sideload a ROM, you instead push it to internal storage via ADB so it can be installed via recovery (TWRP, PhilZ CWM, etc.). So this would be the command from a command prompt, run from the AndroidSDK\Tools directory or from the directory containing the ADB executable...
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip
... replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file. If besides not being able to access recovery using this method...

Hold the power button until the phone turns completely off, then turn on the phone while holding the power and volume down buttons. When the LG logo pops up, let go and re-press those buttons. When prompted for a factory reset, press the power button

... you can't access download mode to restore using either the *.tot or *.kdz method, then this may be your only alternative:

Thank you very much. I was able to reach twrp again, pretty easy. I pushed a custom rom to my device, but even though the rom is installed OK, i wasn't supposed to make my device boot into the rom. The device only boots to twrp. I Installed several roms to see, if this was because of a bad flash, but that wasnt the answer. I wiped everything, and reached the aroma installer for cloudyfas rom. Installed without problems, but when rebooting, it still only boots up TWRP. Can't do anything to reach the rom (s). Any suggestions?
You may need to flash the KitKat baseband. The link is in the OP of the CloudyG3 thread.

Thanks for answer. I did flash the baseband first.
And Tried several roms. Now Im back to stock and Wonder If i really should try again. On my first lgg2, screen Damage appeared When i was flashing a custom rom. I just don't understand Why i Couldnt load the rom after i flashed in twrp.
