Black screen on recovery? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I was looking for some help because I just rooted my new lg g2 I just got a week ago, and I wanted to flash a custom recovery. First I tried just installing cwm recovery using the rom manager app. When I rebooted into recovery, I got the little android dude with the open chest and the little red hazard triangle above it. So then I looked up how to install a recovery and I found the app flashify. I downloaded the twrp file and tried using flashify to flash it. When done flashing it asked me if I would like to reboot into recovery and I hit yes. It showed the LG logo for not even a second, and the screen just turned black. My phone runs fine, perfectly normal, I just can't get into the recovery I installed. Anyone ideas?

Just to verify, you downloaded the Verizon IMG file openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2vzw.img, and installed it using Flashify?

Download the app freegee and install twrp using that.. Its a one click procedure that always works..then you should be able to boot into recovery no problem.. Don't use flashify to flash recovery.IMG because I have had some problems doing it that way with this phone for whatever reason... Trust me.. Freegee works like a charm

Thanks

ROOTED 4.2.2 won't boot recovery

Just rooted my N7 on 4.2.2 but can't boot into recovery. I just get the "no command" screen. I flashed twrp with the Nexus Root Toolkit and everything seemed to go fine but I can't boot into recovery. Is there another way to flash a custom recover?
Thanks!

you probably booted, not flashed the recovery. fastboot flash it via fastboot with the instructions above. or, to make it even easier, download the goo manager app. you can flash twrp recovery with the app. open the app, press the settings option, press install openrecoveryscript, press yes, then let it do its thing.

Read the download instructions at the bottom. Have you done that step?
The stock recovery will be restored on boot otherwise. It's the same procedure for any recovery (CWM) not just TWRP.

[Q] LG G2 Recovery Won't Update

I have an international LG G2. I'm trying to update it to CM 11, but my CWM recovery is version 6.0.4.0 and I need 6.0.4.4. I tried updating through ROM Manager, but every time I boot into CWM, it's still version 6.0.4.0. I tried to use ROM Installer, but came across an error. I tried using Flashify to update CWM by manually downloading the CWM recovery image online, but also came across an error. Would really like to fix this problem.
I'm also having this issue on the ATT model, with the "6.0.4.5 CWM-based recovery" that came with Freegee. Trying to get the legit CWM 6.0.4.4 to flash and I can't do it.
Grab the zip file. Boot into recovery and install the zip. Never user rom manager ut doesn't work well with this phone

Zip file? I can only find the img files on CWM's official website. I tried to use Flashify to install that, but when trying to boot into recovery, the phone got stuck at bootup and I had to hard reset it and it went back to normal with the recovery still at 6.0.4.0 unfortunately.
Been using Phil's recovery lately it is built off of cwm . http://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/d800

[Q] My LG G2 is stuck in a boot loop after installing Cyanogenmod 11.

I rooted my D800 LG G2 and then I installed TWRP. I installed Cyanogenmod 11 without wiping but I performed a backup using ROM Manager. It didn't run well so I wiped everything but the data so that way I would keep my apps. Then it went into a boot loop so I wiped everything. It was still in a boot loop. I have no way of connecting it to my PC and the backup was deleted. How can I get it out of the boot loop?
Can you access download mode if so you should be able to use the 10d installer from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369) to go back to stock

Ok thank you very much! That worked! Now I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 and there's one problem with it. When I turn my volume up all the way my speakers distort. I tried swapping the snd_soc_msm_Taiko file but I couldn't find the stock one. Just the volume boost one. It still distorts though. Any ideas?

If you are using a sound mod than you should ask there or the cm thread I can't help since I am not on cm and have never had that issue

U should flash stock rom to fix it
And for future reference, when you change roms you *MUST* wipe the data partition. If you want to backup your applications, use something like titanium backup to make an app by app backup and then restore after you've installed the new rom.
Me too, was stuck on boot loop but was lucky to have another rom in the phone and flashed it in TWRP.
Another LG G2 stuck

So using the Flash Tool did work great. But now I have a friend who tried to install Cyanogenmod but didn't like the way it ran so he used his backup of the original ROM to restore it. He deleted all the data and caches after each step of the installation too. But last night while he was asleep it booted itself into TWRP and is now stuck in a boot loop. But download mode is not accessible because USB debugging was not enabled yet (I think that's the reason it won't enter download mode anyway). So does anyone have any idea how this can be fixed?

well if the cause was an ota and he can access twrp he can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 but since I don't know the cause it might not work

Ok I'll try that. The AT&T version automatically updates and doesn't give you an option to stop the update so that may have happened.

[Q] Recovery lost?

Hello everyone! Think that I did something kinda stupid today..but not sure. I have installed cwm recovery (philz version, latest) but today I was transfering over a backup to my pc (I removed it from phone to pc), well that was what I thought..(the file was TWRP, since it was a twrp nandroid backup and I had twrp before cwm) so later, when I tried to go to recovery, I couldn't, I tried with FreeGee, but nothing happened...so does this mean that I have lost my recovery? I tried to put the files back on phone where they was but it doesn't seem like that have helped...
So any other methods to get into recovery mode? And have I lost it by deleting a twrp file containing a backup and a twrps. file on 2kb?
P.s when I look into the TWRP folder, I don't have the twrps file....is that the problem, and what is that file? Is it loki or something?
P.S 2: My phone is working fine..
Anyone?
If you're still rooted, you could install Goo Manager, which will allow you to install a recovery.

I do have root, and I am running cloudystock 1.2 (kitkat), but can I just install a recovery since I am on a stock kitkat rom? Think I have done it now.....
What ROM did you have when you first installed cwm?
Sent from my VS980 4G using xda app-developers app
I had stock 4.2.2 rom when I first installed recovery, but I overwrited my twrp recovery and installed cwm (that too on stock 4.2.2 rom
Try installing Quick Boot (free in the Play Store.) It provides an easy way to boot into recovery. This should show whether CWM or TWRP are still on your phone.

[Q] TWRP & LGG2 & ROMManager

OK, so I have rooted my LGG2 (international, UK, 3 network) and wanted to install a different rom. I followed the instructions to install TWRP and have installed rom manager app. In rom manager I have set current recovery to TWRP and gone to reboot into recovery. This, however, doesn't boot into TWRP. It boots into standard android recovery. Any idea what I have done wrong? Is there perhaps a different TWRP I need? I watched a guy on youtube do it all with ease and it just seems I've had nothing but problems! If I can get TWRP working, I'm sure I can effectively progress further, but at the moment I'm tempted to just unroot it and regain some of the apps I'm not allowed to use, due to the problems I have faced
Any help is greatly appreciated
How did you install recovery, autorec?
If so you're good to go just hit power button x3 through that screen as if you're going to factory reset. It takes you to recovery.

not 100%
I can't exactly remmebr I've done it all in drips and drabs. I think I flashed it with usb. But don't recall. I haven't heard of autorec. But when I use ROm manager, it tells me I have twrp installed. But I select it as the recovery in rom maanger, reset my phone and it goes to the standard android recovery not twrp. And press power x3 when? i just tried in android recovery and it just rebooted the device. I tried while booting and nothing...
Are you on kitkat? I'm sure 3 got ota already.
I'll get link for autorec. Its easy to set up, just install and run.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
yeah
thats right im on kitkat. I'll check out that autorec if you think it will help, perhaps twrp wasnt installed properly and thats the issue? When I use twrp manager for play store, it tells me "something went worng, seems we can't get information for your device" after i select g2d802. Worth a shot at autorec
