[Help] stuck on twrp - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was in the middle of installing xdabbeb's rom on my vs980 and accidentally erased my sd card after installing the xdabbeb bootstack and now I cant adb sideload the rom onto my phone because my computer doesnt recognize the device when connected and I cant use the lg flash tool because the bootstack I installed removed the lg download mode. How can I fix this?

You should be able to access the device via adb while in recovery. If not you probably lack the proper drivers.
Download the appropriate drivers from the LG website (or search for "LG United Mobile Driver") and install them.
After that you should be able to access the phone via adb and then you can either adb push the rom zip or sideload one.
(If that didn't work try the drivers inside Googles Android SDK)

Thanks!!

Possible Brick - CWM recovery loop after OTA update

Hi,
Have the LG G2 D802 and previously had rooted and installed CWM 6.0.4.4. I left it with stock rom afterwards. I made the mistake of clicking for the OTA update and now I continually boot into CWM recovery.
I tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, factory wipe, etc to no avail. I cannot access phone through ADB while I'm in CWM (even after going into sideloader) and cannot get into download mode (if I push volume up and plug in usb cord it gets stuck on LG loading screen. If I hold power down it resets back into CWM). USB mount doesn't work.
I searched through the forums (and saw others who have similar issue) but haven't seen a solution. I know this was solved for TWRP in the below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
but I'm guessing I'm probably SOL but just wanted to have a last check if anyone had come up with a solution.
The only thing that I'm potentially trying is that when I plug in to the computer while in CWM it does detect the device but can't install the drivers. Previously I was able to connect to it via ADB going through the normal route when phone was working properly on my computer so I know the drivers should be good so I'm guessing just through CWM it doesn't work properly. I've tried installing all the latest drivers but no luck also. Has anyone gotten ADB to work when in CWM recovery mode on the D802? Thanks in advance.

Try installing the PdaNet drivers and see if you have any luck. Otherwise maybe try another computer. Good luck!

Great suggestion with PdaNet drivers! You are a lifesaver. Though the normal drivers through LG website didn't work, the PdaNet drivers allowed me to install the drivers when in CWM recovery mode and it allowed me to connect via ADB and fix the issue!! Thanks so much!!!!
For those who have similar issues, I did the below steps:
1. While connected to computer in CWM recovery, install the drivers via PdaNet (these replace any original LG drivers)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983470
2. Connect to phone via ADB while still connected in CWM recovery (see below ADB download if you didn't already have it or forgot where it was)

3. While connected via ADB you can use the same method as in the below thread (use the first one).

If you can get into download mode follow the directions here: http://optimusforums.com/threads/guide-complete-guide-to-unbrick-your-soft-bricked-g2-f320.9232
You will need the TOT file and corresponding DLL for your specific phone.

Same problem here, but until step 3 I cannot do that, possibly because I am using CWM recovery not TWRP?
ANy suggestion? Many thanks!!

You have to do the commands that are in the first box of that post in ADB on your computer.
Just tried this and worked beautifully. Thanks OP.
Had a similar issue last night then thankfully a fellow nerd mentioned if you hold power and vol down then hold where the home screen would be on your blank device screen it will pull up factory reset which if you accept will put you into your recovery. Saved my ass last night thought I was dunzo.
If u don't have any roms to flash this will do u no good and you'll have to go the download mode route

OK
1. Turn device off by holding power key down until bootloop stops.
2. Hold power, down volume and where the home key would be.
3. choose yes factory reset, should take you back to recovery....

Not sure if it'll help but you can also try the koush driver referenced here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2564012&highlight=koush+com&page=2
You could also try going into sideload mode in CWM (not sure if it does anything though, I didn't need to do that, google sideload to see if you aren't familiar with it). Good luck.
Thanks dude, now my phone back to normal! Thanks for the guide

OK now im stuck with the same issue, adb only see's my device as offline so i cant execute shell. How to I put it into online mode?

[Q] I'm soft bricked. Need a SIM card reader?

My LG G2 D800 is stuck in (TWRP) recovery. I don't have a ROM backup. The rom I was going to load on my sdcard is bad. How can I get a new rom on there?
I assume if I had a phone sim reader/writer I could do it. Don't think they exist. Any ideas how to accomplish this? Thanks all!
(Cant use ADB since phone is in recovery mode)

Thanks for the help. When I go to "advanced". I start adb sideload. I then plug my usb cord into pc. I bring up a cmd prompt. when I type adb devices it doesn't find it. Is there a special driver or gif needed for sideload?
Before I bricked this I had ADB sdk working just fine.

[Q] Big issue with my Sprint LG G2 after I cleared the system

So I deleted everything in my phone, including the Rom I wanted to flash (smart, right?) and all I have is TWRP Recovery mode and Download Mode. When I put my phone into any mode, my PC does not recognize it and I therefor cannot fix it... I've tried it on three computers with downloading and updating the drivers. The first time it works after installing and updating the drivers, but when I put it in the second time it does not work. I need to unplug my phone in download mode while doing the LG program, and the computer won't recognize or find my phone. All help is greatly appreciated and thanks to repliers in advance
Day 2 of not having a phone: I can't do this xD I need to fix it somehow, if anyone can help me please do
Boot to recovery and start adb sideload mode. Then from your computer just adb sideload rom.zip
If your phone doesnt install the drivers once in sideload mode then manually search for the adb bridge driver from the android sdk and install it.

Tried that and it would say "device not found." and other error codes. One time I was able to load my device onto the computer and after it completed the CM 11 transfer it stopped. I may have to order an OTG cable or something...

[SOLVED][HELP] Lg G2 is stuck at cwm recovery

Dear people of xda,
Recenlty ive receive a FOTA update to my device which runs 4.2.2. Being stupid, i did the update although i had cwm recovery installed on my devices. Now my device keeps bootlooping into cwm without being able to do anything.
Ive read tons of threads talking about this issue but i still cant get my to boot normally.
Yingy in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563527 had the same problem but the only diffrence is my pc cant recognize my device in order to do the adb fix by thecubed.
Im plugging my G2 for the first time in this computer and that is why i think my pc is failing to install drivers. I downloaded and instellad latest driver although windows device manger shows error devices not detected and the end of the process.
In order to fix my phone i just need to make me pc recognize my phone in adb although phone was never plugged before to this pc so i think my G2 wont let it access. I tried installing universal driver such as Pdanet as offered in threat but still when i write adb devices in cmd i get device offline!
Download latest adb drviers, lates lg g2 driver, lg user support tool does not recognize plugged device as well. All me sdk manger tools are patched to latest version.
PLEASE ive tried anything possible. spend like 9 hours and still nothing. i would really appriciate your help.
Thanks.
Edit: here my problem with pdanet drivers, it asks me to allow pc usb debbuging as shown in screenshot below but icant do it since im stuck at cwm recovery!
Solved!
BOOM!! after 12 hours i FINALLY manged to solved this problem. Really simple actually lol.
If anyone come across the issue please do the following:
1. Go to clockwork recovery as always, go to install zip from sdcard, choose install zip from sideload.
2. Plug your phone to pc.
3. Run adb with lastest drivers and sdk tools.
4. At the adb folder press shift+right click and start cmd.
5. write adb devices it should show your device id like this (xxxxxxxxx sideload).
6.Download latest twrp recovery from here http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/197 and if you have open europe version G2 like me download latest version from here: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/g2d802
7.put the zip file in the adb folder, do not unzip it.
8. write in cmd console adb sideload xxxx.zip (xxxx is the name of twrp file).
9. cwm will flash twrp recovery over cwm.
10. reboot in recovery in advanced options.
11. now you have twrp recovery.
12. follow this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696&nocache=1
13. THATS IT!!!
finally after going through this mess, im never using cwm recovery again. twrp is the best
good luck everyone!

[Q] hours for searching for nothing help plz!

I ****ed up my phone today I did full wipe (formatted internal storage too, so i can't flash any rom in recovery because there is nothing) and now i've been searching hours someone who can help me? In TWRP i can't mount anything to my pc (i do not know why?) AND adb says me "devices not found" or something like that so can't push any zip-file to my phone via adb sideload. Is there any way to reapir my phone? can someone help me? Thanks alot!
There was a bug in a bunch of recent twrp releases that causes adb to not work in recovery. Patched versions have been made, try finding one for your device.
Added:
If you can't find a patched version, flash cwm or philz recovery with fastboot, adb is working on both of those. You just need a rrcovery image and do
"fastboot flash recovery <recovery-file>.img"
In fastboot mode.
let's try it out!

See the edit to my first response. Fastboot is done in fastboot mode, not recovery, so you should be good. You just need the basic .img file of cwm or philz recovery.
If you are on win 7 try this:
http://adbdriver.com/downloads/
(Adb driver installer)
Run it when you turn adb sideload on in G2 and connect it to PC.
If it fails you still can go buy somewhere USB OTG cable (few bucks) and flash ROM from usb stick like me.
It appears that accessing fastboot pn the lg g2 is not so simple. Sorta like samsung phone deal, where a manufacturer download is used instead. From what I gather, recovery might need to be wiped to access fastboot, which you could do from terminal in twrp, but thats risky. Apparently, a lot of people have gotten stuck in fastboot mode. Best bet would be to reflash stock firmware through lg download mode. Also see this thread for a method to return to stock firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
Once you are back to stock, just reroot and flash revovery, etc.
downloadmode should still work. go back to any kdz for your version
also source and versions post next time
