[Q] accidental full wipe!! urgent help needed - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I was installing PA beta with twrp when I accidentally wiped absolutely everything, including internal storage so my backups are lost. I have no way of getting it back, can I install something with Odin or something to get this back?? Please help as this is the only phone I own!!

Well if you can enter TWRP, you can sideload a ROM.
Either way since you just deleted everything you can also reflash stock using the stickied guide =) don't worry, as long as you either can enter TWRP or download mode.

If you can get into fastboot and have used the one click root, then cwm must have also been installed so you should be able to boot into recovery and restore the backup you made.
If internal storage has been wiped then you can download the factory image from google and flash it via fastboot. After that re-root, and start from scratch again.
wait until ODIN stuff appears

Follow my directions to recover from an unbootable device. Read the whole thread because there is instructions on doing it from a PC within the thread.

Help: suddenly bootloop

Hi all,
My tab was using overcome 2.3.1 custom. Suddenly it just boot and looping while running diceplayer.
I still can go to recovery mode CWM, and want to reinstall the ROM. The question is, how do I copy ROM zip image to sdcard root while the system is still bootloop? I have searched google and forum with no luck.
Thanks and really appreciate your kind advice.
Cases like this is why I always keep a copy of the ROM I flash on the tab and a nandroid usually.
The only way I know for you to get from here to there is sammobile stock with Odin and then proceed to root and flash to where you want to be. Of course this will delete all your data. If you have things you can't lose, you might want to wait and see if others have easier and ways with no data loss.

Let it settle in recovery mode. Push the .zip rom via ADB.
Reboot recovery . Flash. Reboot. Enjoy.

Destroyed my girlfriend's phone

Someone please help me! I was trying to install Philz recovery by flashing it from twrp recovery but Philz recovery didn't show up when I tried going to recovery mode. Instead the screen just went black. So I restarted the phone and tried to use the android terminal to flash it manually by typing..
Su
dd if /sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm sdcc.1/by-name/recovery. (I don't remember the message the terminal gave after that)
Now, judging from the fact that 1)the internal storage is now empty. 2) browser crashes when trying to download files and 3)superuser won't work for any app (apps that I'm trying to use to somehow flash back the twrp recovery so I can restore a backup ex. Flashify)... I'm assuming I made a mistake when typing in android terminal. Is there any hope for me or do I have an expensive paper weight?
Extra info: I can boot into the rom (aokp 4.4) just fine... No more data or cell connection... wifi still works. LG G2 803. Bell Canada.
Please if anyone has any tips help me out. Thank you in advance. I'll continue searching for forums for answers.
Edit: a potential solution i found is to flash a stock rom with the "r&d tool" but will that bring back the files in the internal storage?

freegee from the market will install a recovery.
as a last resort you can flash back to stock.

problem solved. Used the last resort, but immediately after flashing kdz the LG logo kept bootlooping. So I did factory restore by holding down up button and power button. Thank you.

[Q] My LG G2 is stuck in a boot loop after installing Cyanogenmod 11.

I rooted my D800 LG G2 and then I installed TWRP. I installed Cyanogenmod 11 without wiping but I performed a backup using ROM Manager. It didn't run well so I wiped everything but the data so that way I would keep my apps. Then it went into a boot loop so I wiped everything. It was still in a boot loop. I have no way of connecting it to my PC and the backup was deleted. How can I get it out of the boot loop?
Can you access download mode if so you should be able to use the 10d installer from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369) to go back to stock

Yes I can access download mode. I'll try that then and let you know if it works.

Ok thank you very much! That worked! Now I'm running Cyanogenmod 11 and there's one problem with it. When I turn my volume up all the way my speakers distort. I tried swapping the snd_soc_msm_Taiko file but I couldn't find the stock one. Just the volume boost one. It still distorts though. Any ideas?

If you are using a sound mod than you should ask there or the cm thread I can't help since I am not on cm and have never had that issue

U should flash stock rom to fix it
And for future reference, when you change roms you *MUST* wipe the data partition. If you want to backup your applications, use something like titanium backup to make an app by app backup and then restore after you've installed the new rom.
Me too, was stuck on boot loop but was lucky to have another rom in the phone and flashed it in TWRP.
Another LG G2 stuck

So using the Flash Tool did work great. But now I have a friend who tried to install Cyanogenmod but didn't like the way it ran so he used his backup of the original ROM to restore it. He deleted all the data and caches after each step of the installation too. But last night while he was asleep it booted itself into TWRP and is now stuck in a boot loop. But download mode is not accessible because USB debugging was not enabled yet (I think that's the reason it won't enter download mode anyway). So does anyone have any idea how this can be fixed?

well if the cause was an ota and he can access twrp he can try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 but since I don't know the cause it might not work

Ok I'll try that. The AT&T version automatically updates and doesn't give you an option to stop the update so that may have happened.

[Q] TWRP & LGG2 & ROMManager

OK, so I have rooted my LGG2 (international, UK, 3 network) and wanted to install a different rom. I followed the instructions to install TWRP and have installed rom manager app. In rom manager I have set current recovery to TWRP and gone to reboot into recovery. This, however, doesn't boot into TWRP. It boots into standard android recovery. Any idea what I have done wrong? Is there perhaps a different TWRP I need? I watched a guy on youtube do it all with ease and it just seems I've had nothing but problems! If I can get TWRP working, I'm sure I can effectively progress further, but at the moment I'm tempted to just unroot it and regain some of the apps I'm not allowed to use, due to the problems I have faced
Any help is greatly appreciated
How did you install recovery, autorec?
If so you're good to go just hit power button x3 through that screen as if you're going to factory reset. It takes you to recovery.

not 100%
I can't exactly remmebr I've done it all in drips and drabs. I think I flashed it with usb. But don't recall. I haven't heard of autorec. But when I use ROm manager, it tells me I have twrp installed. But I select it as the recovery in rom maanger, reset my phone and it goes to the standard android recovery not twrp. And press power x3 when? i just tried in android recovery and it just rebooted the device. I tried while booting and nothing...
Are you on kitkat? I'm sure 3 got ota already.
I'll get link for autorec. Its easy to set up, just install and run.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
yeah
thats right im on kitkat. I'll check out that autorec if you think it will help, perhaps twrp wasnt installed properly and thats the issue? When I use twrp manager for play store, it tells me "something went worng, seems we can't get information for your device" after i select g2d802. Worth a shot at autorec
