4.4 OTA update. Stuck at splash screen

Ok do I did search first but can't find anyone with the same problem.
Started with stock 4.3 rooted, unlocked,TWRP.
Got the update notification, told it to update. It auto rebooted to TWRP and applied the update with no error. When it was done (assuming it was done progress bar finished) it went to the main TWRP menu. I told it to reboot and it just sits at the new 4.3 splash screen animation. I assumed it may take a bit so I let it sit for about 20min with no change. Rebooted it a couple times, also tried applying the update again via twrp (errors out as i woukd expect). Wiped dalvik and cache. Didn't do a factory wipe because I'd like to avoid that but still no change.
Any suggestions? Should I manually load the full 4.4 package via TWRP?
Thanks!

Same exact setup... Say exact issue... Oh and before rebooting I wiped Dalvik and Cache as "Sandard Operating Proceedure" ... I'm going to just do a clean flash at this point....

Prior to the installation of the OTA it is safer to re-install stock recovery. Root is lost but re-installing a custom recovery and SuperSu bring back root.

How can i install stock recovery?

You *could* unzip the factory image and then fastboot the recovery.img file. A lot easier is to download the wugfresh nexus root toolkit and use that:
http://www.wugfresh.com/

ty, but do u think it works, because i cant open my nexus 10 memory from the pc, since it is stuck at start up

Wug's toolkit has an option to restore to stock from a bricked system. All you need to be able to do is to get to the bootloader (press the power button while holding down both volume buttons -- you should get a dead android with a red triangle on chest).

[q] lg g2 ota update stuck!!!

Heres my situation. I have TWRP Custom Recovery installed on my rooted g2. Tonight my phone decided to automatically take the OTA update for sprint, and i was stock booting to twrp. I powered off the device and tried to boot it back up, but it went straight to twrp. SO i decided to restore a back up i had. Did that, after it was done, rebooted. and it still came back to twrp. IN a panic, i went to wipe, and did a factory reset. Which completely wiped everything, obviously, including my backups. So now im stuck with a phone booting into twrp and not being able to do anything. I just want stock firmware, no root and back to stock recovery. As you can tell, im pretty new to this.
Someone pleaseeee help me!!!

Try to download stock rom and put it in USB. In twrp flash the Rom via USB-otg. Or try this If you want to go back to stock Unrooted.

Ok ill try this, im downloading the files now. If this doesnt work, could i possibly try flashing another rom through twrp??

No, they will all fail. Never ever take otas when rooted. Once you have reverted to stock and rerooted then load custom rom or delete the update files so this never happens again

Nick, did you resolve this? I'm in the same boat, but by a different path.
I wanted to flash a zip, the cwm I had installed failed to flash it, so I decided to use flashify to flash Philz modded CWM, since then, I can only boot to recovery.
On hind-sight, there was an update threatening to install..
I can only boot into recovery, can't seem to get into download mode. Cant sideload, as ADB does not recognize.

If you need ADB, you may have to change your driver to LGE single sooner adb device (device manager)
There was a third command added later in the thread.

[Q] LG D802 stuck after trying OTA

Hi all,
After holding off on the kitkat bandwagon for a while, I decided once the OTA was available that I should just do it.
Background - this is a D802 european model with root on stock 4.2.2 firmware. I also have TWRP 2.6.3.3 installed.
Prior to proceeding with the update, I made a backup of the phone and rebooted the phone a couple of times to make sure everything was okay.
After that, I then clicked install on the OTA and the phone rebooted. After rebooting it has been constantly going to TWRP. I have tried wipe dalvik, wipe cache, restore backup, restore factory settings, reboot to system but nothing works.
Also, trying to get into download mode just boots into TWRP. When I try to do a adb sideload, the device just shows up on the PC as LG-D802 and no drivers are found for the device so I am not able to install a new firmware or can't try to go back to stock either.
Please help!

[Q] bootloop into TWRP, no download mode, recoveries have failed...

I searched for my particular issue and haven't found a solution that works yet so here goes. any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.
I've painted myself into corners before tinkering with this phone and always found a way out but this time I'm stumped.
HOW I BROKE MY PHONE:
1) had latest CM 11 nightly installed but wanted to try the OTA.
2) In TWRP I restored a back up of my stock rooted software.
3) Unfroze bloat in titanium back up.
4) Checked on phone for OTA, received notification, and began download
5) On completion of download I initiated the update.
6) It booted to recovery (TWRP) and every time I rebooted, or started the phone from powered down it always goes into TWRP.
7) I attempted a factory reset and restoration of my stock back up- same result. It booted straight into recovery.
8) I factory reset and installed cm11 fresh from the SD card- same result
9) Here's my real screw up: since neither installing a fresh ROM or restoring my stock recovery weren't working I went for the nuclear option, I decided to format everything and use the LG Flash tool to get this puppy back up and running.
10) Only to discover I can't get into Download mode and while the G2 is "seen" by my PC it's listed under "other devices."
Dear kind and wise individual who's read my tale of woe. What might my next step be? I've considered attempting to sideload a ROM with TWRP in sideload mode, but I'm afraid I'd just have the same result as when I tried reinstalling CM11 from the SD card.

Need Help; My LG G6 (H870) keeps booting in TWRP and I can't install stock ROM

Hi,
I unlocked the bootloader of my H870, installed TWRP 3.1.1.0 and SUPERSU. Everything was working great untill I decided to restore my system defaults to make a fresh start with my G6. After choosing the option to restore system defaults, my phone rebooted and it booted into TWRP. I rebooted my phone and it kept doing this all the time.
I decided to look for a stock ROM and flash that ROM.
I succesfully flashed the "LG-H87010f-Flashable.COMPLETE.zip" ROM (from autoprime's post) trough TWRP. But this did not work. I even wiped all the data from my phone (even system) and flashed the ROM again; still nothing.
Before having this issue, I had the same Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number. Only the dates and the Software Version are different.
I had the V10b-EUR-XX Software Version installed on my phone. I see this is the 10f version. I guess this should not be a problem right?
After this I took these steps solve this issue:
1. Downloaded new LG Mobile Drivers (LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0)
2. Downloaded and installed LGUP. LGUP doesnt recognize my phone as a LG G6 and this method did not work for that reason.
Fastboot mode is working on my phone; I can reboot my phone trough the commandline on my PC and things like that . However, my PC is not recognizing my phone as a LG G6 device in Fastboot mode.
My PC recognices my phone as a H870 when in TWRP. In Fastboot mode it recognices my phone as Android Device.
3. Installed LG Bridge for more drivers; did not work either
4. Downloaded Uppercut, but it doenst work without LGUP.
4. Looked all over the internet to find a Stock ROM in .zip or .img format; found nothing
5. Downloaded WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.6.1 and tried to extract the H87010d_00_OPEN_EU_OP_0327.kdz file. I extracted it into .bin files, but they were not usable. After that, I combined these .bin files into a system.img file. But that .img file was bigger then 5 GB and for that reason it was not usable to flash trough Fastboot or TWRP.
7. Looked for other methods to obtain a H870 Stock Rom, including another extraction method, but I cant figure out how to do this.
I have spend countless hours on this problem, but I cant find an usable H870 stock rom to flash my phone with.
Is there someone that can help me out with this problem? Im willing to donate some € if someone helps me to get my phone working again.
Really hoping for a kind person to help me out and provide me solution for this issue.
Thanks in advance

Try formating data in TWRP(not factory reset) then flash the 10f complete zip. Trying to perform a factory reset from within Android could have possibly messed up your data (due to TWRP being installed instead of stock recovery) so a full data format is needed.
Lgup most likely doesn't detect the phone because you wiped system. But flashing the complete zip should have restored system.
In the future make backups in TWRP to restore later.. or flash a kdz with lg bridge or lgup without wiping system first.

Thanks for your reply. I have already formatted data in TWRP, but im still having this problem . It seems like something is preventing my device from starting up. I have flashed several ROMS on other devices, but never experienced something like this. Is there something else I can try? Can I flash the stock recovery and flash the stock ROM? I got the feeling TWRP is causing this issue.
If its possible to flash stock recovery, where can I find it?

Flash the complete zip then boot into download mode and flash kdz. Lgup should see the device as a g6 now instead of unknown device. If lgup isn't seeing any device at all (including unknown device) then your setup is off.. missing drivers or something. If that doesn't work.. idk.

Don't factory reset using the in phone option. You can only do this through twrp's option. To fix this you'll need to boot through the hard side, using power and volume down until the lg logo appears then release power for 1 sec and then repress keeping volume down pressed. Confirm yes twice on the white screens to get to twrp. Once in twrp then reset again and reflash the system. Then using twrps img installer flash your twrp img(make sure it is on ext sd) again. Then reboot.

Probably because you already did all the flashing prior to. Glad it worked. This happened when I first got my V20 and was stoned not thinking. I reset using the in phone option and it caused twrp bootloop. I too learned the hard way.

Had the same issue, fixed it, thanks.

My phone kept doing this booting into recovery no mattery what ROM I installed.
I got into twrp by holding volume down and selecting yes on next 2 white screens....but now this message appears all the time.
please can someone help??

Flash a firmware trough LGUp, or flash again the last TWRP available trough fastboot.

Great tip @Swizzle82! It allowed me to restore my LG G6 after bootloop. It had not been detected by PC, and this hardware reset helped!

Hi, all
If I understand, and to sum up :
I rooted my LG-G6 few weeks ago, and intall TWRP. When OTA wants to install official update, the reboot stops in TWRP mod, so ... failed :-/
Is the solution to flash through Uppercut/LGUP with a .kdz file, without risk of brick the phone ?
Thx
