So I am not sure what I did, but I was just trying to flash the Grievous ROM earlier and it would not work, just kept going to a black screen on start up even though I didn't get any errors when installing. I retardedly forgot to make a backup so I have nothing to go back to. I tried to go into download mode to restore through the LG tool, and amazingly somehow it now says my phone is a D802.
I can still get into recovery and download mode and haven't seen fastboot yet, but I can't get my computer to recognize my phone in adb or sideload while in the recovery menu... Not sure what to do. It sucks that this phone doesn't have removable SD.
Anyone got any ideas? I've looked through other threads of people who have had this problem and luckily(I think) I still haven't got to fastboot. I was thinking if I can just get the stock files on there I can flash it in TWRP without having to even use the LG Flashtool, but I am at a loss for how to get the stock ROM on my phone.
WHAT DO I DO?
Install the kernel for the d800. To hey your phone to be recognized in recovery you will need the proper drivers, try pdanet. Drivers

Okay I successfully got adb to work in the TWRP menu with the pdanet drivers, and I pushed the stock rom .zip to my phone but it won't let me flash it. Where do I get just the stock kernel?
Nevermind, got the ATT stock rooted rom from scotts site to push and install, which still gave me a black screen but afterwards but made download mode work, so got it back to stock! YAY!

Hi, I have a D806 G2 and I have a big problem.
After an error modifying my build.prop I was left with a broken phone. It wouldn't boot to the os.
I was rooted and with TWRP so I restarded and tried to revert to the old build.prop (that's the only backup I had) and it didn't work.
I followed the tutorials to go back to stock (I had done it once before to update my phone while rooted, but that time the phone was working fine).
Well, to my surprise, given that I only had recovery or download mode, the process started but failed with an error.
Now, I don't have a System, meaning that my system folder is empty so I really don't have an os in the phone, and all procedures to flash a rom, fail.
I have tried flashtools and everyother tool but nothing, can't put a rom in the phone.
Now I'm kinda desperated because It is too expensive for me to loose the phone (things in Argentina are far too expensive) and when I put it in download mode it clearly says ROOTED so I will have a problem with guaranty.
Please, someone give me a hand!!

Can you still get to TWRP (recovery)? Which version of TWRP are you using? Do you still have the zip file of the ROM you're on?

Sorry was too crazy to post most data.
No I don't have a backup of my rom, but I got a backup from another phone and it doesn't work
Gladly I could use a USB OTG to copy Carbon and Gapps to the phone and I could install that so the phone is working now.
The problem is going back to stock because I would need a backup of a D806 rom and I don't have one.
I'm on TWRP 2.6.3.4 and it's working fine now. Thank you very much.,
Very simple and very lucky you still can access download mode. Just using flashtools to flash TOT again then its all go back to original stock.

I would if I could, but my IMEI reads 0, hence no luck with LG software.
Luckily I could boot the phone to an AOSP rom (copied via USB OTG to my phone -I still have recovery-)
So, I have an AOSP rom, I can get a backup of a similar rom to my stock rom -from a user in another forum- and I can install that backup (foing it ATM)
BUT, my IMEI is 0 so LG software doesn't fully recognize my rom and drivers don't fully install
HELP??

So i got my brand new verizon Lg G2 Yesterday, straight from verizon. It came stock Running VS98012B, Build number JDQ39B, Android 4.2.2.
I ran it completely stock for a little bit, and loved it. But ima crack flasher, and cant run stock for long. So i decided to root. I Used ioroot24 With a few hiccups(ADB drivers wouldnt install with windows 7, So i had to boot into windows xp and do the process).
So im now running the same software with a completely functioning and full root. Next step was to install TWRP or Cwm(philz). I followed WACOmalts Guide.... with no success.
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670) This one.
Option 1 Goes good until this step
"./loki_flash recovery /data/local/tmp/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.2-g2vzw.img"
It always says something failed (Not sure about the message Because i cant repeat it now) Or it gives me a list of commands, as if i typed "adb"
Option 2 I can follow completely through with no errors, But rebooting into recovery always brings me to a black screen.
Ive tried the 2.6.3.1 and the 2.6.3.2 .img files with so success. So i downloaded both 2.6.3.3 and 2.7.0.0 zips and extracted the recovery img and tried using those files. Still a black screen.
Option 3 Just dont work for me.
Has anyone Had his trouble before? Im not a huge noob, Ive had a optimus l9, galaxy nexus, and htc incredible 4g, All with working recoverys So im sure i have enough knowledge. Please Help!

Just ran into the same issue it doesn't seem like anyone has an answer for this yet, some from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2584052
said they were able to just flash back to stock and do everything over and it worked but I was looking into to that but the KDZ method is apparently broken at the time and for the TOT method to restore I can't find a VS98012B (latest VZ firmware so far) TOT file to use for the restore so I don't break anything else.
I'll see what I can find and let me know if you find anything :good:
try Flashify app from the store :good:
Ok so "s-chassis" so being as persistent as I am:laugh:, I was able to find the stock recovery for VS98012B in another thread you can download it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...mctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=193184686
Look at post #10
Then I used the dd method to flash the recovery, here it is if you forgot
adb push recovery_vs98012b.img /data/local/tmp/recovery_vs98012b.img
adb shell
(IF YOU DONT SEE A # prompt, type su to get it.)
cd /data/local/tmp
dd if=/data/local/tmp/recovery_vs98012b.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
exit
adb reboot recovery
I got back to the stock recovery but the android has a red exclamation mark on it not sure why but if you have any ideas let me know
I have an LG G2 vs980. I can get into fastboot and TWRP but for some reason the touch screen is really wonky and when i boot into download mode it takes me to fastboot. Right now im running Ubuntu but i can re install windows if i have to. Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Well im kinda new to the rooting thing but I believe my phone was only soft rooted. I was trying to install twrp but I got a dead android with a explanation mark or it would go to a black screen after the lg logo.i didn't know I was soft rooted when I was trying this. so after awhile I gave up. my phone still booted normally without trying to go into recovery. recently an update for android came out ( kitkat 4.4.2) so I decided to see if it would work. it restarted the phone to install the update and it got stuck in fastboot mode. i managed to find a way to install twrp using fastboot and adb. i did it but the touch screen was all funked up and i ended up wiping the system i think. just cant win. twrp wont mount the drive eiher. maybe because i have Ubuntu?

well first the reason your phone died is because of the update you did after you had broken your stock recovery, if you have twrp currently there are two things you need to do:
1)get rid of the update using this
2)adb push/sideload a rom and try to flash or try and get in download mode to restore to stock

no fastboot is only for restoring the phones stock partitions but if you use twrp sideload feature it should flash it once it's done copying it(I know that's how it works with philz)

now i just need to figure out whats going on with the touch sensor. idk if its the phone or just twrp
Well I restored my back up of a rooted VS980 rom, 26A version. I did so because i honestly grew tired of the bugs with my LP rom i was using so i decided to return to stock and update to the 27A firmware. When I went to allow the download to install all it did was reboot to twrp recovery and now I cant flash any rom to get it operational, I for the love of god apparently dont even know how to enter download mode. Ive read its hold vol up and plug in but that does nothing but once again BOOT INTO TWRP recovery. I just want my cell back to stock with no root and ill make any needed mods as i see fit.
Ive tried to use the flash tool but even that requires a download mode which i can not enter, and it wont even display correctly for me anyway.... Any one have any advice?
I messed up somewhere while flashing a rom yesterday and got my vs980 soft bricked. Couldn't get into recovery, so I had to flash the 39a kdz.
I'm running a Windows 10 laptop and installed the drivers from lg site. I got it to where adb can see the device while the phone up and running. I copied over the files needed for root, and went into download mode. And now I can't get adb to see my phone.
Any help is much appreciated.
I think that you should go back to kk to root your g2 I did not succeed with that version of windows

You can root your phone using apps like KingRoot or KingoRoot.
