Can't enter recovery, secure booting error - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm really hopping someone can help me

Had the same issue a few days ago. TWRP, CWM, and Philz wouldn't flash properly, but I'm pretty sure it was my fault. Currently I have CWM installed by FreeGee (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free).
WARNING: You should know that there is a risk with using FreeGee. If you don't plan to use download mode, you're good. But currently, I am without download mode after flashing. Still trying to figure out a way to fix it. System works, recovery works, but I cannot revert to stock at the moment.

Hi there Ben, thanks for the reply but I've just tried that app you give me the kink to and it's not working for me. Just performing action and nothing else, it seems to be stuck, I've even rebooted and still does the same

Are you sure the phone turns off ? Or is the screen blank? (not off but rather gray?)

OK, let's return to the start.
1. You're sure it's rooted and SU is working? Rootcheck is on the play store and you can use that to check
2. In FreeGee, did you tap on a recovery on the bottom? And did FreeGee freeze on this step? Did you give FreeGee root access/permission?
3. If FreeGee installed a recovery, it won't automatically reboot. Have you attempted to reboot into recovery? If you're not sure if it has installed, I would not recommend going through the hard reset page because if it's not actually installed yet, you would go through a factory reset. You could download an app to boot into recovery though (I.e. CWM ROM manager, TWRP, or quickboot. All free on the play store.)

Had the same problem 2 Days ago, i flasched the originial recovery via terminal emulator and i at least got back my standard lg recovery. Then you can start from scratch.

[Q] Flashing through Download mode

LG G2 Verizon Wireless, locked bootloader
I was trying to wipe my data through TWRP for G2, when it crashed. Not able to boot into recovery, and when putting the phone in download mode, the Windows Flash Tool (UpTestEx) does not give any errors, but the phone doesn't seem to do anything.
Any ideas?
Go back to stock

Download the recovery and use flashify from the market to flash the recovery. Also no boot loader unlock. We don't,need it at the moment as the recovery uses Loki which bypasses the boot loader

I emailed the Dev a couple of weeks ago. He said an update was coming soon for us g2 users, although I haven't seen it happen yet. Not sure if I'd trust it yet.

Unless you're using twrp 2.6.3.3 it will take 10 minutes to format cache, it's a bug in all versions aside from the one I stated.

Cant flash recovery..

Hi, I tried to flash twrp recovery with some help from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670 but it keeps saying fail.. I tried both options.
if rooted freegee is easier from app store, it gets proper automagically.
If trying to flash via cwm, get the recovery flashable zip from the thread and not the img. Doubt thats the case
Where did you get that awesome avatar btw?

sorry for my English I'm European .
BTW again, do I need an unlocked bootloader to flash roms like paranoid I'm on d802
"Keeps saying it failed" What failed, in what part? Also currently there's no way to unlock the bootloader, but use loki bypass instead, basically when you have recovery installed, you don't have to worry much about bootloader or loki.

if I have my recovery installed I can download roms ?
Yes you can and flash them without any problems. Only in twrp settings tick the option to use different format command or it'll take like 10 minutes to wipe cache

ehr, I fell for it, just go freegee way. easier.
