Hi, cut a long story short, I have no ROM downloaded on my phone and I am in recovery. When I boot to system it displays my phone is not rooted and then gets stuck at the boot screen.
This has happened because I factory resetted my phone, then wiped EVERYTHING within recovery, and obviously I wasn't thinking that I would be left without a rom.
What should I do please? How can I get a ROM on to my phone?
Thanks.

Hi,
First check if you can go to download mode.
turn off device. then wait few seconds. then press volume down button and plug the usb to your pc. if you see download mode you are good to go. i am waiting for your answer.
or, if my memory serves me well, you can ADB push the ROM, the .zip file over and flash it from recovery.
thanks for your replies guys, I entered download mode and flashed a stock kdz file, this had worked successfully I am now back to lg g2 stock with no root! my phone is amazingly faster but ahh cant survive without root
cheers.
U can root it now. Go ahead

Good evening everyone,
I will start off by saying that I really didn't do things by the book this time around. I have run out of ideas even as to what to Google to find similar cases to mine.
I wanted to flash Cyanogenmod onto my G2. Since I already had CWM installed, I loaded the ROM and Gapps. After wiping the phone, I went to flash from the zip. The flash failed. I tried again, and it happened again. I wiped the cache and dalvik again, and tried again. Still no flash.
At this point I go for the reboot only to realize that my phone is now stuck in a bootloop that is contantly landing me back into recovery.
I believe I really screwed up from here as I read about a way to exit the cwm bootloop by flashing a new "exitrecovery.zip" file. Since ADP wouldn't push the file for some reason, I used that function where the phone waits the file to be pushed and flashes it. That succeeded.
The phone switched off (after hanging on CWM for a bit) and now won't do anything at all. No boot logo, nothing. Can't get into CWM anymore either.
The computer brings up a bunch off drives which it wants me to format when I plug the phone in. Only one of them has a folder called "image" on it.
The display switches on, but won't do anything there.
Holding power+up reboots it after a few seconds and so does power=down.
I am thinking of just seeing if I can get it assessed by my carrier, hoping they'll have the tools to just reflash it... somehow. Else, is there a way to potentially fix this?
Back to stock
Put the phone in download mode (vol up while plugging in USB) and use the LG Flash Tool to return to stock. Instructions are posted in General section.
Rule number 1.
ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP.

I have a backup I made with CWM.
If that helps, please point me into the right direction to restore it. I fail to see how I can do that without even being able to start cwm up.

Hi all
my D802 can't reboot with following method, could you please help me investigate how to fix it?
1. Can't enter download mode: I power it off, then hold volume up and plug in USB, but only the first screen shows up, can't enter the second one:

So I can't flash kdz image.
2.I am able to access TWRP with official factory default( power+volume down to power on, when LG logo shows up, release power and volume down, then hold power.). But no matter I flash CloudyFlex which in my sdcard, or sideload flash others ROM, the cell phone will no boot up, always stuck at LG logo.
Any possible way to fix? Thank you very much.

not sure, I did few stupid things before.
1. I flashed LG G Pro 2 ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2673143 but it not good for me, so i went to recovery. but this rom replaced my recovery to a unknow one, not TWRP. when I was in this unknow recovery, my phone linked with PC via USB. PC found a lot of unformatted drivers, I did the most stupid thing: formatted one of them.
2. G Pro2 rom still can boot up, I flashed stock kdz, and rooted it with ioroot10, then flashed TWRP 2.6.3.3.
3. copy CloudyFlex_1.4.zip into sdcard through MTP mode of stock rom. reboot into recovery TWRP, flash cloudyflex, phone never boot up again.
4. No matter what rom i flash, always stuck at LG logo and the phone become hot.
sorry for my pool English.

Sorry man, I have no idea what you may have formatted then.. :/
I can't think of anything right now.. If you can't get to download mode and flash stock kdz again.. Then I don't know. I hope some one comes along that knows something. Sounds serious. I'll keep on thinking about things. But I have to leave the house now so..
Sorry.

thx mate. Just wondering why can't get to download mode. After formatted a driver, flash stock kdz successfully and the stock rom work pretty well.
did you fix the problem, i have almost the same issue, my phone gos into first download mode screen, but not the second one, so noway to flash a kdz, help us please.
woke up and it was sitting in recovery, so i rebooted a few times to only end up in the recovery screen. i then wiped the cache and system and rebooted,and when TWRP asked if i wanted to root, i swiped right(never seen that screen before). but this time im stuck at the LG logo with no options for recovery/reset/etc.
when i plug it into my PC, device manager sees it as "LGE Android phone". HELP PLEASE! thanks.
bump?
Were you rooted running stock or a custom rom at the time this happened? Try to long press power for 15 seconds to shut the phone down, then use the hard keys to enter recovery. Is TWRP still availabe or no?

Well you were clearly rooted if you were running a custom rom. Since you were in TWRP following the mishap, it should still be there. You sure you're going about that correctly? You need to press and hold power for 15 seconds to power off. Then use whatever button combo is necessary for your variant, there are some differences. Then accept the factory reset option to enter TWRP.
My guess, and it's only a guess...is that your phone, being close enough to stock, applied an OTA without your knowing or even choosing to accept it which landed you in a recovery reboot loop. That's a known side effect on a G2 with stock + custom recovery. But since you were on a custom rom and you said you wiped system, it's no mystery that you don't have a booting phone. You need to get back into TWRP, adb push a rom to /sdcard and flash it. Unless of course you have a working nand backup in which case you can restore that and save yourself some time and effort.

If using hard keys it can vary slighly by variant. adb reboot recovery should do it though.
huh, took apart the phone to try the linux fix(didnt end up working), put it back together, and now the download mode works. not sure if i was just being stupid in the past or what, but HURRAY! thanks so much
Hello, I own a Lenovo A6010, I recently tried to install a custom rom from a forum in this website, as i am newbie to all this, I think i screwed somewhere. Now my phone is stuck on boot screen. I cannot even start my phone in recovery mode or the menu that takes you to recovery mode.
Before flashing i had taken a backup of the dalvik cache and system and data and all those options available in the backup option in twrp which kept on my pc. Now i dont have any idea what do.
I even downloaded the stock rom of my phone from some website, but it was available in a rar file.
When I connect my phone with a cable while pressing the volume down button the same boot screen pops up and my computer starts to install device drivers. I think my phone can be brought back to normal, but i don't know how.
can someone please help me with some suggestions on what to do with my brick.
Thanks in Advance...
Warm regards
Do you have twrp installed? And by what method exactly did you try to install the custom rom?
Edit: Nevermind. Didn't realise this was a year old thread
Hi guys,
this is my first x compact. I unlocked the bootloader per sony's instructions on their site + what I read here.
I flashed twrp, booted to recovery, and wiped and installed the lineage 16.0 which is stickied.
Everything worked great but various rootcheckers said still not rooted. This bothered me.
I followed the thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/x-compact/how-to/stock-8-0-root-recovery-t3747479).
I used flashtool to flash stock oreo. After that, bootloops. And can't access recovery.
I can still enter flash mode and fastboot mode, but using the CMD in platform-tools, phone not recognized.
There must be something I can do? Thank you.

Use Flashtool again, and this time, before clicking , in the box that says "wipe", check 'userdata'.
Back up anything you want to save in internal storage.

No problem - I'm messing around with a Samsung at the moment, but I still check in here from time to time. I think XC is my favorite phone so far... XZ2C was really nice too, but (unofficially) official Sailfish OS puts XC on top for me...

Hi friend, please maybe you can help me. I have almost the same issue. But after using LineageOS for some days, my phone stuck in boot logo. I managed to use Flash Tool to flash latest original stock ROM (Customized IBE). Strangely the flash process ended OK, but the phone still stuck in boot logo. I'm only able to force shut down with Volumen Up+Power Off (3 vibrates). Not possible to enter Recovery Mode.
I'm 98% sure that I have flashed with check in wipe USERDATE and also in CUST-RESET. But I wanted to try again, and now Im not able to enter flashmode. Phone gets green light, when volume down, but Flashstool is not recognizing the phone.
Thanks in advance

Does fastboot work? Also, what do you ultimately want to do, return to stock?

yes, after hard work to install drivers, I managed to get the phone to be recognized by Flashtool in fastboot mode. But the phone is not charging when turned off, and its not rebooting. I wanted to try again with stock ROM, since I got some battery issues with LineageOS (phone turned off while playing some games, and worked fine while doing the same with usb cable charging to laptop or AC charger.)
But I cannot do anything right now. Only fastboot mode and force restart works, but it stuck in Sony logo (after normal bootloader unlock 5 seconds warning). What can I do?
