[Q] G2 only boots into TWRP - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my G2 only boots into TWRP after wiping cache and dalvik cache and fixing permissions..
When i plug it into my pc it says that "the last device that was plugged into usb, doesnt work properly" or something. i updated the lg mobile drivers, nothing works
i tried adb but it doesnt see my device so i updated the sdk but the my g2 isnt listed..
i also tried wiping data and system
So to my phone: international open d802 stock G2 rooted (loki of course) with some xposed frameworks
i also didnt update my firmware or something because i read a lot about things like this happening because of it
i think that something was already wrong before i wiped cache and that stuff because my pc didnt recognize the phone before it too thats also why i wiped cache and fixed permissions
(excuse possible grammar mistakes, im from germany..)
thanks in advance

is there any way how i can get my phone to boot without wiping my internal storage?

When trying to download an OTA for my LG-D800, I flashed TWRP but then flashed Stock Recovery, but when I tried to update it, it powered down then stayed on the LG boot up screen, and stays there, there is no white text in the corner, no download mode, and of course no recovery. Also now my laptop can't see my phone. Please help me. Thank you!

Do you tried different Usb Ports ?
If you have the Chance you should try it on a other Pc
+ I had to Use my Usb 2.0 Ports the Usb 3 ports never wanted to Recognize the phone
Its a Tricky Process and took me also a while but hey its worth it right

I could never get my cpu to recognize my phone while in recovery.
I used two different computers and couldn't get anything.
When the ROM is working.. I can.
Are you positive you can't get it into download mode?
Try this.
Power off phone completely.
Attach usb cord WHILE holding the VOL up button.
See if that gets it into download mode.
If you can... then you can do the KDZ or TOT "unbrick back to stock" method.
I tried both of those.. but none worked for me.
This one worked for me though:

When it's in the download mode it may show up in a different location in the device manager and be listed only as "android".
Do you hear any sound from the computer when you plug it in when in download mode?
What does your download screen look like?
Once these questions are answered, there may be a solution. Hopefully a CDMA device won't be different

there are two possibilities.. First, your phone is already hard bricked.. second is, your battery is absolutely dead with no power left...
Well, Have you tried to check the battery itself?

how can i check the battery? its non removeable.
thanks for helping, any ideas is appreciated!

ok, so have you tried it using different PC or laptop?
(last option if nothing else to try) if you want to check the battery :
DIY remove the case ( there are several tutorials in youtube, but of course, do it with your own risk)

It's not hard bricked/
Getting into download mode proves this.
You must get your computer to recognize your device in order to communicate with it. So I would not consider anything else until that is accomplished. PERIOD!
1. Are you using a USB 2.0 port? usb 3.0 will not work a lot of the time. (Important)
2. Have you tried another usb cable?
3. I think we discussed the drivers, I have them if needed
What operating system are you using?
If nothing here helps we can we can use "TeamViewer 9" which will give me control of your computer to help resolve this issue...

I'm struggling here. I can't get my comp. to see my phone

I'm running win 10, and out of the blue my comp. can't see my phone. Yes, I have debugging enabled, so I deleted the usb driver to start over. Well, seeing how there is no .exe on driver installs, how do I reinstall the google driver? Windows 10 blows in some ways. This is one of the ways. Thanks
When you say your PC can't see your phone - do you mean nothing appears in device manager? Or ADB can't detect your phone?

I know what you're going thru... It's very frustrating it happened to me a week ago.. I deleted every single driver and installed everything back and nothing.. tried all the things you can imagine and nothing made my pc recognize my phone.. tried fastboot unlock bootloader to factory reset ( I wanted to unlock it anyway ) thru adb folder and then it worked.. so I suppose a factory reset could solve your problem.

Recent update to Note 4 now keeps booting up and restarting

Hi,
Im looking for a little help. I installed a recent update (today) from Samsung. My battery seems to run hot and I started the phone up entered my password and the phone reboots after about 5 seconds, every time. I don't even get enough time to do a reset and wipe.
Now, 've gone into recovery mode, it says Installing System Update then comes up No command. I've wiped cache partition and wiped data/factory reset. When the phone boots up it goes as if re-installing everything then reboots again.
I want to put a custom ROM in but need the damn phone working first
What can I do?
Put phone into download mode (volume down/home/power whilst turning on) and flash TWRP recovery using odin. From there you can flash custom ROM.

Nexus 4 bricked, no OS, no recovery.

Hello
I tried a Nougat rom for the Nexus 4 which was available as a full update package (including system bootloader rom etc) and installed it with the update command from adb instead of from custom rom.
now my phone is bricked and I cant seem to get it fixed.
It either gets stuck in a bootloop, or i can force switch it to bootloader mode. From there I can go to recovery but the stock recovery is useless.
Problem is when i connect this to my windows 10 pc, it shows no sign of being detected. I installed drivers over and over including the universal ADB and fastboot drivers available here on XDA. it doesnt show up under adb devices command and even the Nexus 4 rootkit doesnt detect it as a phone.
I wanna make this phone working again. I'm guessing the way is to go back to stock image and then re-root and re-flash custom recovery and ROM. but even for this, it should be detected by the PC and adb command and rootkit right? Is there something I'm overlooking here?
This is the ROM I tried
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/fake-nexus-rom-nexus-4-t3230268
The way to install it is also mentioned there and that is exactly what I did.
Did you try this adb installer: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
In that thread, I read the people are able to use adb on Windows 10. If that doesn't work, find a Windows 7 PC or boot to ubuntu using bootable pendrive and flash the factory images using fastboot.

I read many users complaining about that. You can try that installer; as I mentioned - users have reported that they were able to use adb on Windows 10 after installing adb using that installer. If that doesn't work try the second suggestion (Ubuntu/ Linux)

i tried the installer but it made no difference. i tried it my win 7 partition as well but it didnt show up in the device manager.. i think usb debugging must have been disabled with my new rom flash. but even then i dont get why it wont show up as anything in devman...
any command i try ends with waiting for device and since i cant find the device in devman I cant even update the driver manually. I guess I could give linux a shot
Hey I finally figured out the problem. Its unbelievable. The usb port of the device was slightly bent in such a way that every cable I tried never really connected with the phone. I twisted it up a little and now its being detected as fastboot. The drivers you provided work like a charm now. Thanks for all the help !

It seems I have the same prob, as my N4 too doesn't get detected. But my ph can charge with USB when I connect to PC.
How you twisted USB port? I mean it has very less room to insert any tool.
