I am not sure if I can post this solution in this thread as I am not a developer and merely sharing my experience, It seems several people are having issues with bootloops after installing att update or for some other reason, my post deals with helping only a certain issue. You should be able to boot into recovery by any means in order to use my solution.
The problem I had was I was trying to flash a new Rom and copied Rom and gapps into my phone( of course I was rooted and had recovery flashed) and then out of curiosity I wiped everything in advanced wipe in twrp so now I have no Rom to boot into or no file to flash and either download mode would not work, I was p******g in my shorts as I my phone was only a week old and its dead that's what I at least thought. And after spending the whole night no solution was found in xda website and neither did Google help any, now the solution. now u should compare this to ur problem and find where u stand. I installed pdanet on my pc as stock lg drivers don't seem to help pc recognize my phone in recovery mode, then I plugged my phone to pc while phone is still in recovery mode and then opened pdanet in pc and installed lg drivers through it and then adb was able to see my device(until now I was trying adb sideload and it wasn't working) so when adb was able to see my device, I used sideload in twrp and pushed Rom from pc to phone using sideload commands and my phone was back and I am the happiest man in the world. So in short
1. This method works only for people who can boot into twrp recovery but not into phone.
2. Have ur desired roms and gapps ready 3. Make sure u have a working adb in ur pc and if not install minimal adb and fastboot application only onto ur desktop for easy access, and copy ur desired Rom and gapps into that folder and rename them to 1.zip and 2.zip for easy reference and easy adb commands.
4. Download and install pdanet on your pc. Power on ur device into recovery and plug it into your pc. Start adb from the folder u installed on your desktop(hold shift and right click within the folder(minimal adb and fastboot) and click on start command here option, command opens up and it will show in which folder ur in and then type adb devices and if everything is right your phone in sideload mode should show up as adb sideload and if not (this is where the problem is) run pdanet and install lg drivers through it and then unplug exit sideload and restart sideload in ur phone and plug it back to pc and ur pdanet will notify u have connected ur lg phone. Then run adb again and type adb devices and it will show up as adb sideload and now (you should search how to use sideload as I don't remember those commands) and push Rom into (the ones u renamed for easy access and reboot and all should be all. Sorry for the lengthy post but I typed this solution into several posts individually and so decided to put it up as sticky and if anyone feels to remove part of or all the post I have no problem, just wanted to do my help to others with similar problem.

I have more or less the same issue. Was with StockMod for D802 and received an official OTA and accepted and installed it. Now I'm stuck in bootloop. Unlike you, I can go into recovery (CWM not TWRP) BUT I can't seem to go into fastboot mode. When I hold the Volume Up and connect the phone through cable to my laptop, the phone boots but goes automatically into recovery mode. Did system wipe as well (which I shouldn't have) and at that point my phone has no OS to boot into so I used ADB to transfer CM 10.2 and GAPPS to my phone hoping that if I do it like I'm flashing a custom rom will help but unfortunately it didn't. I'm still stuck in bootloop and can't go into fastboot. help please...:crying:
Try a stock Rom and see if it helps.

Had a problem with audio playback (volume always high no matter what). Decide to flash. PAC for my Sprint LS980. I see this:
Seems to be a lot of confusion so I'll clear things up..
ZV7->ZV8->ZVA is how the ota history goes, with ZVB on the way.
If you're on stock ZVA, your aboot (bootloader) may not be downgraded, in that case, use FreeGee from Play Store to install a recovery, it will automatically downgrade your aboot.
if you have the ZVA Radio, just flash furnace or dr87's kernel after you flash an AOSP ROM, all done.

Sorce: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2669074
Seeing the last sentance, I think that if I flash ZVA Radio, SlimKat ROM (the one that causes me problems) and then dr87's kernel I could try a ZVA experience. I flashed SlimKat again becuase I was going to change anyway, I wanted to try it with ZVA.
Tell myself why not, I do it.
Fails but I didnt pay much attention. I reboot.
Stuck in fastboot mode and cant escape. Recovery is a no-go.
Tried flashing both ZV7aboot.img and twrp2.6.3.0.img into their appropriate partitions (boot and recovery).
Still having problems, but now I cant do any button combination (except DownloadMode. Cant turn off) after ZV7aboot.img flash.
I dont want to erase my memory (~26GB of valuable data). Is there a way to flash a ZV8Radio.zip from fastboot? I think thats my problem, but Im not too sure. Just access to recovery would allow my to fix my problems.
Thanks anyone for any help! I think I really screwed myself over this time. Thanks everyone!
Edit: Anyone know where to get a boot.img and system.img for the Sprint LS980?
zv7_aboot.img isn't a boot.img, it's the bootloader. Use FreeGee to install twrp, it will handle the aboot for you. Then you can take advantage of the last sentence.

I am stuck in fastboot. No recovery. Download mode is also accessable.
Which of the following would help:
* System.img and Boot.img (where to find em?)
* A kernel .img (Do they exist?)
* Flashing the ZV7 or 8 aboot.img oncemore with twrp.img again?
Thanks for coming to help! It means a lot.

If you can boot into a rom, use FreeGee to install twrp. If you can't boot into rom and recovery, you need to flashtool.

Flashtools is asking for login and password. ?
Does this mean I have to wipe all user data in order to use it?
Edit: Do you know where System.img and Boot.img could be downloaded? I think its my only hope.

Thanks for the link! That was extremely helpful.
What I did to gain access to twrp again was:
Download boot.img from the link.
Download aboot.img from link.
Download twrp.img (but this isnt necessary, file is already available on phone. No need.)
* Enter command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
* (If you hold power it starts showing LG Logo.)
* Go back to Fastboot. Enter command 'fastboot flash aboot aboot.img'
* Now TWRP access is regained! Phone doesnt boot normally, must flash ROM and stuff again.
Thanks a lot! This was an okay first fastboot experience.
Soft Bricked Sprint LS980?
Hello, I'm having a similar problem. I haven't had a phone for a couple years since tinkering with my Evo and thought I still knew what I was doing with my new G2. That proved to be incorrect.
I had it semi rooted. (I followed the instructions using Ioroot and Kingo) I wasn't able to change APN and use GSM for Metro PCS
After reading up about the spark patch I followed a tutorial (not very well obviously) and managed to get the phone will it will no longer boot.
I can get it into bootloader, and a frozen in download mode. otherwise it just hangs at the LG logo.
Is there a way to recover from bootloader?
I copied twrp-2.6.3.2-g2spr.img and zv7-aboot.img to the phone and did the following.
Here are the commands I used with the guide. I looks like I was using 2 different guides at once..... :/

Hit the build number under about phone --> software until developer mode is enabled

copy the downloaded openrecovery for sprint onto the phone directly into the "root" folder (root folder being like when you look at yoru C: drive in windows explorer that is the root folder under linux), when you plug into the pc, make sure in mtp mode
with phone still plugged in run kingo and root it
it will reboot
with phone plugged in run "adb usb" from command prompt on pc (from the link for adb that it installed, it will open a command prompt for you in the proper folder when you click it)
approve adb connection on phone
then run "adb shell" from command prompt on pc
type su, approve it on phone

it will say bytes copied and you will be good

I use goo manager from play store to boot into recovery, I dont even know the key combo for it yet.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Alright, sorry to comment on something 3 months old, but I just had this problem and managed to solve it.
When in the mode described above, you are still able to use Fastboot. Get a linux computer and install fastboot.
Then, go here: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware/zvc_partitions
Download the images for laf, aboot, boot, and recovery.
type the following commands in fastboot:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img
fastboot flash aboot 4-aboot.img
fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img
fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img
fastboot reboot
This fixed the problem for me. Good luck!

Sorry for not replying, but I see you managed to fix your problem. All you needed to do was download .img files, then enter commands through fastboot. Although it is slightly more complicated than that, its the rough outline of what needs to be done to fix it. Nice work fixing your problem. I came back to this thread to remind myself of the commands that need to be entered (My comments help myself).
I think I am just going to copy-paste the quoted box above if anyone needs instructions how to do this. Thanks for the quick guide I can use to help others!
bricked , simple fix?

this process (which i got from a different thread originally)
bricked my phone Lg G2 (Ls 980 sprint 32 gb)
i was on remote connection with my friend attempting all kinds of flashes (mostly custom roms and recoveries)
what he did
he FIRST flashboot erase aboot
and then erased all the other files
foolishly he then used fastboot reboot BEFORE reflashing the necessary images
this leaves me with a device that is practically 100% empty all hardware no software
i have no response no life not even a backlight EXCEPT
i can plug into windows and see Qdloader9008 is connected comport 3
and i can communicate with the device on ubuntu terminal although im not too farmiliar with terminal syntax so im not having much luck
im convinced it is as simple as reflashing at least a working recovery or download mode from which i can install everything else i nee
between QPST, Terminal, and or some other method
sorry for Noob ish ness
any help would be appreciated even if just help with a better understanding of what to do next
payment is possible

Sorry, I barely understood what to do originally. What you have to do next is to reflash the aboot/boot/ whatever partitions but getting to that position might be difficult. Maybe some sort of command would allow you to connect to it oncemore?
Sorry, try to look into it more and see if a dev could help. Try posting something in /r/lgg2 but then again I cant be certain anything would happen. Good luck!
Easy guide
Since the problem keeps happening to people heres a quick tutorial I made.
Download and install this (PC only?)
Now go here. (D802) (D800) (LS980) (VS980) (D803) (Device tree/others)Download the images for laf, aboot, boot, and recovery.
Place the 4 .img files in the same folder. Control right click in that folded and open terminal. If this isn't how you open terminal in a folder search"how to open terminal in a folder".
(NOTE: Commands below will differ from the file names. Change the values in the parenthesis to match the files, HOWEVER, do not type the parenthesis into the terminal prompt! It will not work if you do.)
type the following commands in fastboot:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot (6-boot.img)
fastboot flash aboot (4-aboot.img)
fastboot flash recovery (10-recovery.img)
fastboot flash laf (11-laf.img)
fastboot reboot
You should be fine now!
Unbrick Ls980 formatting partitions
Do this: (only for LS980)
1. Download the adb.zip file
2. Unzip in you computer the adb.zip file
3. Connect your phone LS980 to your computer
4. Run "particiones lg g2.bat"
5. Enter in download mode and flash the phone
6. enjoy your phone

i tried this with almost all model files but still on fastboot any other option?>
I want to say thank you so much for this thread. Just got a new (refurb) G2 switching carriers to T-Mo and my idiot self used the wrong root program and soft bricked to fastboot. 4 .img files later and a few commands and I don't think I've ever been so happy to see a download screen on a phone...

I ****ed up my phone today I did full wipe (formatted internal storage too, so i can't flash any rom in recovery because there is nothing) and now i've been searching hours someone who can help me? In TWRP i can't mount anything to my pc (i do not know why?) AND adb says me "devices not found" or something like that so can't push any zip-file to my phone via adb sideload. Is there any way to reapir my phone? can someone help me? Thanks alot!
There was a bug in a bunch of recent twrp releases that causes adb to not work in recovery. Patched versions have been made, try finding one for your device.

If you can't find a patched version, flash cwm or philz recovery with fastboot, adb is working on both of those. You just need a rrcovery image and do
"fastboot flash recovery <recovery-file>.img"
In fastboot mode.
let's try it out!

There was a bug in a bunch of recent twrp releases that causes adb to not work in recovery. Patched versions have been made, try finding one for your device.

See the edit to my first response. Fastboot is done in fastboot mode, not recovery, so you should be good. You just need the basic .img file of cwm or philz recovery.
If you are on win 7 try this:
http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
(Adb driver installer)
Run it when you turn adb sideload on in G2 and connect it to PC.
If it fails you still can go buy somewhere USB OTG cable (few bucks) and flash ROM from usb stick like me.
It appears that accessing fastboot pn the lg g2 is not so simple. Sorta like samsung phone deal, where a manufacturer download is used instead. From what I gather, recovery might need to be wiped to access fastboot, which you could do from terminal in twrp, but thats risky. Apparently, a lot of people have gotten stuck in fastboot mode. Best bet would be to reflash stock firmware through lg download mode. Also see this thread for a method to return to stock firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Once you are back to stock, just reroot and flash revovery, etc.
downloadmode should still work. go back to any kdz for your version
also source and versions post next time
Hi guys I tried to root my LeTV 1 Pro but it didn't worked.
My phone keeps rebooting in fastboot ( I see the penguin 10-15sec and it reboot again and again) or it stays alight with the penguin.
Computer doesn't recognize it.
Thanks.
Try and plug it to your computer then keep power and wol down pressed for like 15 sec: now fastboot should stick and device shouldn't reboot, so you can flash a recovery (TWRP?) and start over with a new ROM.
Thank you for your reply,
It still doesn't work, penguin stays on screen but it's not recognized by computer ( before the brick it was)
I'm not very experienced in rooting btw.
Edit : The recovery.bat in the file X1_X800_TWRP_Recovery2.8.7.0 says "Complete! The device is ready to reboot into Recovery." which I do but it keeps reboot with the pinguin on.
I recieved my phone today and it just wont stay in fastboot mode. I can do anything I want but it just keeps rebooting before I can flash anything. Any suggestions on how I should keep the Phone in Fastboot mode?
You need to install drivers. After that it will not reboot anymore. That worked for me atleast.
What kind of drivers do I need? Please link them to me I have tried a lot of drivers. The thing is that the phone also does not stay in Fastboot mode when not plugged into the PC.
It's my topic for my problem so don't ask questions for you on it please u_u

I have downloaded drivers (I think) from https://twrp.me/devices/letvle1pro.html where I also get twrp 3.0.2.0
Btw if you are using Windows you can open Device Manager and there you will see your device and what drivers it has installed (you can always use update drivers function, maybe that will help too).
Here is a little guide how I managed to get twrp:
Just download it (drivers and intall them) (and download twrp also). Place twrp file to the folder where you have your adb installed.
In phone settings go to developer menu (first you need to unlock it) and you need to switch on usb debugging.
Connect phone to the pc via usb.
Open command prompt in your adb folder and type Adb devices (if you have drivers installed corectly you will se your devices connected under some code).
Then just write Adb reboot booloader and phone will restart to the recovery.
Type into the comand prompt: fastboot flash recovery name***.img (where the name is the file name of twrp you have downloaded- just a tip: rename it so it is easier to remember for example to twrp. Then the command will look like: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img)
If succesful, write fastboot reboot and that is all.
Btw for me it did not work first time. I had to load twrp for second time and when I wrote fastboot reboot then I immediately pressed volume up so It went directly to twrp recovery.
Hope it helps. Cheers
I have this problem
Hello
I have your problem have you solve this?
Thanks
Hi guys. I have a problem! My letv x800 CN boots to TWRP but doesn't start the system (EUI logo loading all the time) I don't know how to transfer ROM into the phone in order to flash it. I installed all the drivers and PC recognize it. PLEASE HELP!!!
So i've gone through every thread here without success. I have a unlocked bootloader but no OS nor custom recovery and i cant get into fastboot mode to install twrp. When i use ADB it wont find my device unless i go into Stock recovery -> update through ADB and even then it only recognized my device as sideload. What can i do? When i tried to use the MiFlash tool i cant seem to get the correct qualcomm drivers installed. what can i do?
Edit: I solved my issue by downloader the stock B08 system on my S5 and then i placed it in the external sd. Then i put the SD back into the Axon and installed the system. After i had installed the system and booted into the OS i could enter adb with my device being recognized and after that i flashed twrp by using ADB.
I have a new problem though and that is that i can't install the 3.1.0.0. twrp. it only boots into black screen when i enter recovery. I can use the 3.0.4.0. version though.
You can't enter fastboot mode on your phone. Correct?
I also assume that you installed a ROM from recovery and that's what caused the brick, right?
What happens when you try to enter recovery?

Go into My Computer, manage, devices and try to uninstall all drivers that are possibly related to your device.
Unplug your phone and let the drivers reinstall by itself.
Go into ADB and see if ADB Devices works.
If possible go into ADB reboot edl and try to reflash custom recovery : "axon7tool -w recovery"
When recounting unplug your phone and see if you can reboot, shutdown and enter into TWRP.
ps : i hope you have a backup ?

Correct. It simply reboots.
Yup, i tried installing the B29 stock system on my G model and so i suppose i had the wrong bootstack becasue this is where my problems started.
I get to the stock android recovery.

It still wont recognize my device. Which driver am i supposed to have in the Device manager? Do you think i can use my old S5 to transfer a Stock system to the sd card and then update my phone manually through the stock recovery and then when i have an OS installed maybe i can connect to ADB. I read somewhere that ADB commands only works in recovery and in the OS.
I have a twrp backup of my system on my SD card so no worries there.

You should see your phone as QUSB_BULK. Installed the ZADIG drivers ? That may cure the problem.
After that, imo, it is important you can reboot edl and flash TWRP recovery again AND when it recounts, you pull usb.
Normally you will have replaced recovery , reboot ok and you can enter TWRP and fastboot also.
ps : sometimes it is also advisable to go to ADB RECOVERY directly and do the processes.
ps2 : when TWRP backup, you can always put it on SD via other phone and in TWRP restore. Normaly you're good to go then...
Try the Marshall London Bootloader Interface driver maybe?

Installing the driver and using it for the phone (device manager -> change driver manually (or something of the sort)) worked for me, but it could differ. Let me know. You don't have to uninstall other drivers just use that specific one for your phone by switching the driver manually via device manager.
