if I remember correctly that means your recovery did not flash correctly so I recommend using either flashify or freegee from playstore and retrying
It is actually the stock recovery. Try again flashing TWRP or CWM

Thanks a lot! I followed that guide, and afterwards I was no longer even able to get into recovery/download mode....so I though I was even worse trouble....since one the the instructions was to erase the LAF file and flash it again with a downloaded LAF image, I decided to go to the link with all the files you provided and flash each of them....rebooted, and the phone was able to get into recovery mode again...Then I pushed the file for my phone ( http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware) using Uptest (R&D Tool), rebooted and the phone worked.

Rooted and installed TWRP per these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995 and when I hit power/volume down and wait for LG logo then release and hit them again I get a screen that says Factory Hard Reset. (permanently Erase User data and reset settings)
Is this what I want to be seeing? If so I did this earlier and hit the power button like it says, then it asks are you sure, I hit power button again and it goes to a black screen with

Yes. Once in factory reset hit power button 3 times and twrp will start. Have fun and always make a backup first.
If you can not get to recovery then you may have installed wrong one or bad download. Double check. Easier way is to use flashify app from market but I would at least 're download tarp. Make sure it is an img file not zip. I believe 6.3.2 is the img version then you can flash 6.3.3 zip from recovery. That is the newest one.

thanks, I used http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995 to install twrp. It says 2.6.3.2 Flashed it again with the recovery.bat file and still the same thing. Just sits there. I have to hold the power button for 15 seconds to restart. Got a correct link to the original file I need first in case this one aint it? Thanks
They posted a 3.3 version which would not work for me. Messed around for hours then flashed the 3.2 and it works great on both devices i put it on so far

This happened to me with a flash that somehow went bad. I'd used an IMG file someone had provided for 2.6.3.3 for VS980. I'd recommend getting the 2.6.3.2 file straight from TWRP (Google TWRP LG G2). Download this file to your phone. Install Flashify on your phone, run it, and use it to install the recovery you downloaded. This should fix your recovery issue. Then, if you want to upgrade to 2.6.3.3 (required for flashing 4.4 ROMs), you can flash one of the ZIP updates provided by TWRP.

Just in case anyone else runs into this problem make sure you install the img file first, then flash the zip. I tried to install the zip first and thats what went wrong. All working great now.

I have a Verizon LG g2 and I have it rooted and followed all of the steps to get cyanogen mod on my phone but I can not get past the boot loader. I tried using the command prompt method discussed in another thread but every time it fails saying it's an invalid command. what am I doing wrong??? I need simple step by step flashing for dummy instructions.

If you have superuser...
Try flashify on the market.
Download twrp 2.6.3.3.IMG (not the zip)
Or... CWM 6.0.4.4 Touch.IMG ( not the zip)
Choose flash IMG
Find the file flash and reboot...
Boom!!!
If that doesn't work you'll have to use fastboot to flash the recovery.
I can probably walk you through that if needed.

Will this method also work with the tmobile variant d801? Cant flash recovery or roms, adb wont load for me.
Hi,
I have an LG G2 D802 and already installed TWRP 2.6.3.4 for installing zip-files. But now there is an update (only browser, but 4.4 shouldn't be that far away), but without stock recovery it's impossible to install it I know the way how to get back to stock completely, but I don't want to go back to stock every time there is an update, installing all of them and then reinstall TWRP. I think on CWM the problem is the same, but i don't want to miss the camera tweak and splitwindow, so I need an custom recovery for the zip-files:crying: Is there any way to get the stock recovery back without installing complete stock or at least a possibility, to only "boot" the custom recovery when I'm back on stock, like on Nexus devices, and only use it for the flashing and then lose it on the next reboot?
You should be able to push stock recovery via adb or even flashify ( I prefer adb tho). What build number do you have?

I have D80210a-EUR-XX. But where can I find the stock recovery? And btw: what was the adb command for flashing? With my Nexus 4 I only used the ToolKit, because I was never able to use adb through the normal Win7 cmd, only through the toolkit...
most likely, but cannot confirm it, you ooen a stock kdz, and try flashing the kernel .img thats inside, I am not sure
anyone confirm it works that way
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
for all I know, the kernel doesn't contain any recovery... but I will test it tomorrow, when I downloaded the kdz if you could say me how to open a kdz-file.

here is a link to D802 recovery.img file i found, however its for the 10B build. you should be ok as i dont think the recovery has changed much from 10A to 10B, however i cannot confirm this. use this at your own risk, unless someone can confirm this will recovery will work.

If it's not working, I have a backup of the current. but I will test it tomorrow, then I have more time. But thanks for the quick answers.
Flashing the 10B recovery image worked well. But installing the update I only get an error so I go back to stock now.
I saw that flashify can flash zip files. Does it flash them itself or does it also need a custom recovery to flash them with it and flashify is only some sort of automtatisation? Then I could use this when I'm back on stock 10A (there seems to be no 10B for my device).

I've had similar problem, i think I just installed the KDZ file trough the way they showing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
It just erased the rooy and TWRP, and all of the apps and settings did not change, its like a repach.
at least it should be. but I can't take the last step. "By turning off, Holding down power and Vol Down until it comes up on the screen." doesn't works, there only starts the normal software, and that's the old one. And unpacking the kdz file with 7zip or Peazip also don't work. Peazip can do ist, but I have to find out how to let it extract it. After installing it, there is another file with the same name, but it's an .cab file with password. If I boot over widgetsoid into recovery (I think this is what the manual means) there is only a little droid with a read sign. How to get further?
EDIT: found out how to come into that menu. It wants to make a hard reset so I make an backup first.
Finally I was able to install the complete new software version (D80210e-EUR-XX) over the LG PC Suite. The file downloaded from the manual seemed to be corrupted or so as it only caused an unpacking error in the programm.
Does anybody knows a way how to flash a zip without a custom rom? Flash Gordon seems to not work.
Hi all,
I have an LG D802, was running standard ROM just rooted and with PhilZ recovery. Well I was silly and tried an OTA update, and got stuck at recovery...unfortunately I panicked, cleared everything and tried to flash another ROM but I'm still stuck at recovery.
I tried the instructions in the thread about being stuck after an OTA update but as I;ve formatted the sd partition it didn't work.
I want to go back to stock, I just have no idea how....I have ADB access though if that helps! I'm not really experienced in this kind of thing so please dumb it down for me!
Any help much appreciated!

can you get into download mode either try the adb reboot download mode or turn phone entirely off and hold volume up(only volume up) and plug it into the pc usb, if you can use the back to stock guide to get your phone working again

Yes trued flashing a custom ROM, however in my haste to try and stop the OTA forcing me to recovery I may have formatted some partitions I shouldnt have.
Can I restore everything by downloading the kdz with all the correct IMG files in, converting to a flash able zip (saw a guide on here) and trying that?

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)
