Can't flash new rom - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I seem to have a slight problem, I cannot flash any rom on my d802. It flashes ok in recovery but cannot get past setup without force closing and restarting the setup and cannot enter the rom. I can only restore the backup that I have and works fine. Am I missing something. ? Also I just get the android coloured cross boot screen not the lg one.

I am on starfighters flex 3.5 rom. If I flash anything else flex or stock the setup screen in the wizard is plain android not lg themed. I have tried full wiping, wiping with system or dirty flashing. I have tried all recoverys . it gets to the end of the setup wizard and then just restarts the setup after force closing. I can only restore the flex rom from backup. If I try to flash the same rom from scratch it does the same.

So you have the 3.5 ROM and the myhub fix zips right?
Then start by wiping cache,davlik,system, and data then wipe those again.....then flash the ROM zip then the myhub fix.....then wipe cache and davlik again this reboot.....

Thanks for the reply. But how will I be able to move back to a non flex rom?

Download another ROM and gapps if needed,....go into recovery do the same four wipes(cache,davlik,system and data .....then do again for good measure then flash the ROM and flash the gapps if needed.....then wipe cache and davlik ....then reboot! How this helps....you should always make a back u before you start flashing so if anything bad happens just wipe and restore...

Ok thanks I'll give this a go later. I have the backup of this rom, makes a change for me to have one. I am a bit wreckless with flashing roms sometimes as I seem to try all of them.

Tried everything you suggested but its not working. Going to unroot and flash back to full stock factory and start again.

Hmm were you able to flash any other ROM? This Doesn't sound like a root problem, sound like the rom

Doesn't seem to matter what rom I flash. Even the one i have the backup of. It happens with any rom I've tried to flash.

So the ROM will start up and just for close? And your wiping everything besides internal storage before flashing?

It will start setup till it gets to end of setup then force close then restart setup wizard. But its happening on roms that I've flashed before. Wiping everything except data. Numerous times.

I do a factory reset in twrp. Then flash the rom. Then boot up. 1st boot can take 10 minutes, make sure you are waiting long enough for it to process

I have no explanation of what has happened to my n7. It shut off by itself and just bootloops when I try to turn back on. I can get into recovery and I have a nandroid backup of a stock rom. Everytime I restore it restores system and then fails?? I flashed 3 different roms and all r flashed successfully but I get the same bootloops . I was using latest twrp and was get error I/o data / speedtest. Something else but I flashed cwm touch b4 I could jot down the errors . I figured it was twrp bug and didnt realize I wouldnt b able to flash back to twrp do to using gooim to write the image in the first place. I am desperate to find out what happened and I wont b near a pc for a few days. I have an unlocked rooted grouper version . I have read and searched b4 posting

Yes I wiped system /cache/dalvik/ and factory reset I did them all like 5 times each and flashed a brand new rom. Its so weird
Nothing works. I am always prepared for atuff like this with multiple nandroids cwm/twrp but they both fail to restore

Back in a few months ago I'm faced with that problem once, tried everything like factory reset, format system/data/cache/sd, install new ROM and also tried to restore by nandroid backup (that used to work fine before that problem occur) but non of these solutions work.
Finally I've to use fastboot to flash it to 4.1.2 (to format and re-partition the device) and flash it back to 4.2.2 and then it work fine again even with many custom rom and kernel installed to my N7 very frequent and today it still work just fine.

Electronics can be wacky sometimes

Something's Wrong.. Please Help.

So, every time I flash a ROM and everything I boot it up and everything's fine but when I go for a reboot it gets stuck on the "Samsung Custom" image and my phone will only work when I wipe everything and reinstall the ROM.. I've tried different Roms and not flashing certain mods but nothing is working.

Are you using TWRP? You might want to go to the development section and read the TWRP thread...it has people that have had similar experiences that might help you.
If you are not using TWRP (even if you are) make sure you have the correct kernel for your ROM(s). There is a very informative thread in the general section about that.
And, of course, there is always LOKI if you are on AT&T, but it doesn't sound like the issue, but you might still want to research it. Good luck.
Restore to stock via Odin. install rom. Odin. Done.
You wiped your partition in TWRP by saying yes when wiping it.

So your phone will boot but turns off.
You need to root install custom recovery and you could reflash one of the stock rooted roms.
You also could try to lg flasher and flash stock but must get into download mode.

How do u back up your EFS files
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
**This is "my" way of doing things on my D800. I cannot take any responsibility for your device getting effed up no matter who's directions you follow!"
So you think you've got issues with this ROM? Won't boot, flash or start-up. Well, maybe you haven't followed the proper flashing sequence or you have a bad download. Did you know that 99.999% of the issues people are having is user related? Well, maybe I don't know the exact percentage, but you get my drift.
Seriously though, before posting a question, make sure you have done all the personal troubleshooting possible. To help make this a little easier, I am posting the exact method I use for flashing this ROM and I haven't had a single issue.
Before flashing any ROM, you should always be sure to do a proper back-up of your EFS files. This could very well save you from a bricked G2 and save you from having headaches if you do something wrong during the flash, wipe, etc...
The method I use is to download FreeGee from HERE. Once you have downloaded and installed FreeGee, you will have an option for backing up your EFS files and also will provided the different versions of TWRP (TWRP is all I use). Once your EFS files are backed-up, immediately upload them to the "cloud". If you need a good cloud app, HERE is one.
Now that you have this done, you are ready to attempt installing a custom ROM. Here are the steps that I take:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Make a back-up of your current ROM
3. Go back to the recovery home screen
4. Hit the Wipe button
5. Hit the Advanced Wipe button
6. Check the boxes for Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache. DO NOT CHECK THE INTERNAL STORAGE BOX!!!
7. Once the wipe is complete, go back to the recovery home screen
8. Hit the Install box
9. Choose the ROM you want to install
10. Swipe to confirm the flash
Once the flash is done, it should say successful if all went correctly. From that screen hit Reboot System. You should see the sweet boot screen and then be brought to the setup screen.
If you have done all this and you are still having trouble, please re-download the ROM and follow the steps again. You may have gotten a bad download.
If after you have followed these steps twice and you still have a ROM specific question, post away.
If anyone has something to add to this, let me know and I will add it. I hope this helps at least one person. bigfau, if you want me to remove this, please let me know.
Other Notes:
~ If you are on the software version that ends with "o", you will likely have to LGFlash back to the "d" version. @AyDee Thank you!
~ The newer version of TWRP and Philz Recovery may cause issues with flashing. I am using TWRP v2.6.3.3 and have no issues with it.
You could add that ATT users coming from the 'o' firmware need to roll back to 'd' and that a lot of users are having issues with the newest TWRP and Philz.
Not rom-specific but worth mentioning.
Anyone use Facebook Messenger on D800 with 3.0 and have it open two apps when you run it? Tried uninstalling and installing it again and still does it. Only app that does. Any idea how to fix it?

Just flash back to your stock kdz and then flash the rom, the issue can be solved.

Huh? Dorimanx makes a kernel, not a rom. I don't think this rom includes dorimanx kernel. However, you can flash it after installing the ROM.

HELP!!!!

Not sure exactly what I did but I had installed a stock rom and while using the rom I got a software update. I tried to install the update and it said phone will reboot so I rebooted it. It took me to my recovery (Philz Touch recovery) then I attempted to reboot my phone but now it just keeps going back to recovery and wont go any further. I've tried to install another rom but it still goes right back to recovery after I reboot. Please someone help me out here. I'm pretty I'm not bricked but cant figure out what to do to get to my phone. I'm thinking I need to restore my phone back to factory and start again.

Rule #1. NEVER INSTALL OTA UPDATES IF YOURE ROOTED!
Just saw your other thread. If you are not confident using adb just get yourself an otg cable, put twrp on a memory stick, mount the otg in philz and flash twrp from the memory stick. You can then use the terminal in twrp.
PS. A micro usb drive would work just as well.
