Okay so I have the sprint LG G2 and was being an idiot messing around with the hidden menu and I selected an option fota update test or something and my device rebooted. Now it only reboots into recovery mode. I have TWRP 2.6.3.2. It tells me that it cannot find my backup. The Log file says E:storage partition //twrp/backups not found. I dont know what to do. Ive tried flashing roms, but it just reboots back into recovery every time even when I tell it to reboot bootloader. Any Ideas?
It's fixed! I used the Lg flash tool with the sprint .tot file and she is alive! Thanks all of you I appreciate it.

*sigh*...why do ppl that dont know what the heck they are doing still tinker with the settings? Just don't access the hidden menu and flip switches thinking it will have zero effect.

Okay i'm asking for help thats all. I know what I did was stupid. I'm trying to sideload the stock rom but it keeps getting stuck at 84%. The problem I think, is the boot partition is all messed up.

This is what you need to do.Dont worry nothing is messed up,the phone will be back after this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
I did the second option since i find it easier to do.
you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Hey thanks for responding. I tried doing that just now and it still keeps rebooting in recovery. I did the first option though. I cant find where to enter commands on TWRP. It just tells me to pick a folder.
Can anybody help? I'm pretty desperate here. I just dont know why twrp deleted my backup. I had one on there that I used all the time and now it says it cant find it. It just keeps rebooting into recovery mode.

I just tried that same result . Every time I reboot it goes back into recovery its stuck in a recovery bootloop.
If you typed it properly and it doesnt work,then i dont know...I have done what you did before to try it out,since i knew how to fix it.And it worked just fine.

This fixed it for me ... Was also stuck in bootloop.
Use another memory card..
Send u r backup files in another memory card and go to twrp and restore backup..
I think this works for u..

are you on sprint? Thats what im on. I tried that method,but got stuck on this part: 4) Now unplug your phone, power off and then go back into download mode again, volUp+USB. It should immediately connect and start flashing.
When I would go to unplug it and reboot into download mode it just wouldn't do anything the app would just say ready.
I somehow got my nandroid back but when Its done flashing it just reboots back into recovery. I dont know whats going on.
Man this is so frustrating. Ive tried all these things and it still only boots recovery even after flashing my nandroid I made awhile back. Im stuck and dont know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Are you sure that you did the 2nd method properly?Try once more and double check what you type.Why this worked for me when i did the same but it doesnt work for you..Nothing much you can do atm either that,or download a kdz rom and try to upgrade with flashtool.
Thanks for trying to help me out. I got it fixed by using the lg flash tool. I feel like such an idiot. Ive been coming around these forums for awhile I just never registered. I consider myself pretty good with tech but im self taught so their is alot of trial and error and noob mistakes. +1

Unfortunately my phone is going directly in to CWM Recovery after showing LG Logo after reboot. I am able to access the Recovery option -> Install Zip. but I am not able to transfer even any custom rom to the phone.
Is there any option of transfer the zip files to the phone right now in my case.

Yes I have tried that. I can not do a factory reset either is there another fix? I forgot to say that in my first post.

I had a similar issue. It happened after an OTA forced an update.
To get out of it, I went to a linux machine with ADB. I booted the phone into recovery (which was the only place I could get too) and pushed CM11 to it. Flashed it using clockwork and the phone came back.

It doesnt hurt to contact tier 2 tech support from your telecom provider.
try to use this procedure http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Last night my phone wanted to update to 4.4.4 because it's been wanting to for a while, but I know it wouldn't work because my phone is rooted. It had tried this at least 3 times before and everything was fine; download update, tries to install, fails, boots right back up. I wanted to get rid of the Update notification in the top bar, so I just ran it again thinking it'd be okay. Well, this time it bricked my phone, leaving me at a neverending loop at the boot animation. I first tried to wipe the cache and dalvik cache, which did nothing. Then I tried a factory restore, which also did nothing. Then I reinstalled the stock 4.4.3 rom I had been using, which did nothing. Then I wiped the SD card completely and reinstalled a stock 4.4.4 rom through sideload, which has done nothing. My phone just sits at the boot animation and taunts me. Worse yet, I have a 16-hour drive tomorrow and my phone was going to be the majority of my sanity during that time.
What should I do?? Is there anything I can do? Normally I would just contact Google to get a replacement (I've done this before when the 4.2 update was causing a lot of bricks,I think it was 4.2 anyway, I forgot) but I'd like to have a working phone for my 16 hour trip..... if possible. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Well, I never had heard of any devices that still stuck in the bootanimation after flashing the factory image. There is something really wrong.
Did you already tried flashing a custom rom? Can you boot into recovery?

I had a Vanir 4.4.3 rom on my phone that I tried to flash as well, but for some reason it went right into "Optimizing Apps" after the first boot, something I hadn't seen before. Then it got stuck at "Starting Apps...", then after a restart, it too was stuck at the boot animation.
I can boot into recovery luckily, but that's all I can do. I have CWMR v6.0.3.5. I've tried just about everything I can think of. [edit] I was able to contact Google for some live chat support and am now #2 in the queue. Hopefully they can either help me or get a replacement going. Either way, I'd still love any help you guys can give me, I'd really like to get it fixed rather than waiting for a replacement.
Okay, try this: Wipe everything via recovery and with everything i mean really everything! Cache, dalvik, storage, your whole system. There must be nothing left on your phone. Then flash a rom of your choice. Wipe cache and dalvik afterwards and see if it works

I've done that already, Factory Reset + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache + format system/data/cache/sdcard/data/media. The phone was completely bare and that's when I sideloaded the stock 4.4.4 rom (otherwise it's stuck at the Google boot screen). I'll try it again, though.
Okay right now I'm using the Nexus Toolkit to flash the stock 4.4.4 .tgz image directly from google and unroot my phone (checking the option that the phone is Soft-bricked/Bootloop.
....Okay that finished and I'm still stuck at the boot animation and now I don't have CWMR. ****. [EDIT] But I can still boot into a custom recovery through the toolkit, which is good.

Damn, I really am stumped right now. That's really strange. Normally everything should be fine after a factory reset...
I've search several threads with bootloop problems, but none of them have this persistent bootloop. I believe you have damage your storage somehow, so that the system can't read the files and boot up properly. Maybe because of this 4.4.4 OTA update. Man, that's kinda sucks right now...

I forgot something! Did you also flashed the 4.4.4 binaries?
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers#makoktu84p
I also read somewhere, that the LG Fashtool may help.
Try this out!

Hm, I didn't think I'd need to with the factory image, but I'll try that. I tried the 4.4.3 factory image as well but that didn't work either. I also can't find anything about the LG Flashtool that's Nexus 4 specific, but I'll try to look more into it.
Wait, how do I flash the binaries since they're .tgz files?

This is really strange man. Flashing stock ROM is the last resort but even that seems to be failing for you.
Have you tried downloading the stockRom again (just to make sure it isn't corrupted). Also, maybe you can try using TWRP instead of CWM this time.
Good luck.

No need to flash them, since you are on a factory image, sry.
Woah now, I've made progress! Maybe.... Anyway, in TWRP, I "fixed permissions" and mounted "system" but now I'm at the "Android is Upgrading, Optimizing Apps - Starting Apps" screen again (it only had to optimize 23 apps?). I was at this issue before when I was flashing roms last night trying to fix it, but going back to here is better than not getting it to boot at all. What else should I try next?
Note: I'm on the 4.4.4 factory image now and TWRP is just temporary through the Nexus Root Toolkit.

And? Did it boot up or just stuck in 'optimizing apps'? I would suggest to try another android version, like 4.3 or 4.4.2 at least.

What about custom ROM? Cyanogenmod maybe? Make sure to downlaod the M7-Release.
Hm, alright, I'll give that a shot.
On a side note, is there a way to lock the bootloader again while in either recovery or bootloader? I fear that if it's unlocked, I won't get the $250 refund for the replacement.

Today and after deciding to simply restart my Nexus 6P, it booted into TWRP menu, I tried to reboot again, but no luck. can someone please help?
is there a way to get off the TWRP menu and boot my phone normally?
Note: The root used to simply work fine for about a month now.
Did you take an update? Rom details? You basically said you stuck a fork in a microwave and it sparked.

I will have to call you out here buddy. If you have indeed tried to flash all factory images, you won't even have TWRP in the first place.
Go to this wonderful guide by the wonderful @Heisenberg, and scroll down to "10. How To Flash The Factory Images (And Return To Stock)". You will find very clear instruction on how to return your phone to its factory stock state. This will most likely get rid of the problems you're facing.

Hello,
My nexus 6P has stopped working today: he is stuck on Google's logo. I searched the problem, and decided to flash a new rom on it - but I have unlock the phone. It seems like i can do it only by OEM, but the phone stuck on google's logo if i turn it on. So, is there another way to unlock it?
Thank you.

You don't have the same BLOD because you have access to recovery mode. You have a functioning recovery and the guy in the video did not. Because you never unlocked your bootloader you are limited to side loading an OTA newer than the build you are on. When you enter recovery mode the current build is displayed at the top. Download a newer OTA from Google and follow the instructions on that page on how to side load OTA's from recovery.
Nevermind my post...
