LG G2 Verizon Root, TWRP, Malladus 2x now and get stuck on LG boot screen

So after having my HTC Incredible for years and never having a problem rooting and installing custom roms, I recently purchased an LG G2 from Verizon and have had nothing but problems getting a custom rom on it. I am currently trying to install Malladus and have been through multiple writeups for rooting, installing TWRP and flashing a new ROM. Everything seems fine until I'm in TWRP and have finished the install of Malladus,LG apps and gaps when it says "your device does not appear to be rooted. install supersu now?" I am rooted and have confirmed it in IOroot and Flashify before attempting anything. It then hangs on the LG boot screen indefinitely (I fell asleep and it was still there when I woke up) I managed to use Flash tool to get back to stock and read through everything again to make sure I was doing things right and then tried again. No difference, I"m stuck on the LG boot screen again. I read up on others having this problem and found nothing of any real value besides conjecture and "I tried again and it worked".
I always try to figure this kind of thing out by myself and hate not being able to do it this time but I'm at my wits end. I'll list my process below and any help would be greatly appreciated.
(I was on the OTA when I tried this process first and on the shipping version when I tried it the second)
1. Used IOroot to root the phone using this video a video I'm not allowed to link (search How to root your LG G2 by zetatango, Root was verified like in video)
2. Installed Flashify and put TWRP image in download folder and flashed it (Malladus, LGapps and gapps were placed in download folder as well), after it was finished booted into TWRP with no issues
3. In TWRP did thier standard wipe (not advanced) and then installed Malladus, LGapps and gapps
4. TWRP informs me of this "your device does not appear to be rooted. install supersu now?" On my first try I clicked yes on second I hit no to the same outcome
5. Stuck at LG boot screen and now have to go through process of using Flashtool to get stock again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[Help Please] Somewhat bricked my LS980.

This is a copy+paste from a reply I wrote in the Q&A section of the CloudyG2 3.1 rom.
"Alright, so since yesterday, I have been trying to find out how to install this rom in the correct way. I asked in the original thread of the rom (before I knew there was a Q&A). I was on CloudyG2 2.2. I am using LS980 Spring Variant. My question was, do I need to TOT back to ZVE and update to ZVG and root and install CloudyG2 3.1 that way, or could I just stay on 2.2 and go into recovery, wipe data and everything, then flash the LP bootstack and install the rom and hotfix. One person replied, "Yes". I asked to what was he referring, tot or just wipe everything from 2.2 and flash it. Then somebody else said to tot. So today when I got home, I decided to tot to zve.
After I got to ZVE, I updated to ZVG, successfully. I rooted, AutoRec. All was well. Then I went into recovery, wiped data, system, cache, dalvik. Then I flashed CloudyG2 3.1, flashed dorimanx 2.9, then flashed the LS980 hotfix. I rebooted my phone and it stayed on the LG Logo for about 5 minutes without anything happening, no boot animation, so I assumed something went wrong. I reboot into recovery and wiped everything again and flashed the LP bootstack (I read somewhere in the oringal post that people were saying to do this.) after that, I flashed the 3.1 rom, then flashed dorimanx, then flashed the hotfix, then rebooted. Immediately after I rebooted, it flashed the LG logo then went straight to a black screen, like many others are getting. So I assumed it had to do with having the LP bootstack. I also read that needed to be on Kitkat modem. So the change I made this time was I rebooted into recovery, wiped all, then flashed the kitkat modem this time and not the bootstack, then flashed the 3.1, hotfix and rebooted. Same thign happened again, showed the LG logo for a second, then went to a black screen.
At this point, I am not sure what is going on. So I decided to try to tot to zve again. Only, when I go into download mode, I get security error. I am still able to go into recovery, however, that is all I can do. I know people keep saying read the OP, and I, like many others have read the OP and perhaps do not clearly understand it. And I have tried to ask around, but it seems people are getting bashed for not understanding the OP or how exactly to flash this rom.
Could one of you kind people please give detailed instructions on how to go about getting this rom to boot on the LS980 variant?
And could somebody help me with my specific issue, not being able to get into download mode now and not being able to boot up a rom. Like I said, I can still get into recovery and flash things. But all I have tried, I mentioned earlier in this post, none of it works, any suggestions?
So, I came across this thread, which seems to be a fix for my phone. (Unless someone here knows an easier way?) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2582142
"You must use the img files that correspond to the ROM you have installed before getting the problem to avoid breaking your phone. The link above is for 10b_EUR_16G firmware version. So don't use those files if your firmware version was not that one. Instead you should look for img files corresponding to the current version installed in your phone. If you don't know what version you've installed then don't use this method because you will break your phone. "
It says I must use the img files for the rom I have installed before getting the problem. Could somebody elaborate please? I had stock ZVG, then flashed cloudyg2 3.1, that is when my phone messed up. Then I tried ultrapop (stock ls980 LP rom)."

D800 - I just can't get CloudyG2 working no matter what I do...

I've been having issues with my phone, and I'm not sure if this is a HW issue or not, but no matter what I do, either I lose recovery or get a security error. I poked around and found some instructions in the CloudyG3 thread. They're for 3.0 but I would guess 3.3 wouldn't be different enough to brick this thing. Can't remember who the quote is from, I just copy/pasted it, but here it is:
Some of you sent me a PM asking for the install instructions on D800 and this is how you install CloudyG2 3.0:
Downloads:
1. Download CloudyG2 3.0 - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646001
2. Download Patch - https://mega.co.nz/#!sVY0mRTb!qn7S9B...3m_QpMQkgzunn0
3. Download Signal Patch - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...l_Variants.zip
4. Download LP Baseband - http://blastagator.ddns.net/modem.php - d800-30f-modem-blastagator-signed.zip
5. Download KK Bootstack - http://blastagator.ddns.net/bootloader.php - bootstack-d800-KK_20c-blastagator-signed.zip
6. Optional: Download JB Bootstack in case if you want to revert the installation process and go back to your current ROM - http://blastagator.ddns.net/bootloader.php - bootstack-d800-JB_10d-blastagator-signed.zip
Flashing Process:
1. Backup the existing ROM (including EFS, Modem, etc.) in TWRP - very important and copy it over to the computer, just in case!
2. Wipe System + Data + Cache + Dalvik Cache - Do NOT select internal storage as it contains all your downloaded files + backups!
3. Flash KK Bootstack (downloaded from Step 5)
4. Flash LP Baseband (downloaded from Step 4)
5. Flash CloudyG2 3.0 (downloaded from Step 1) - Leave the default in Aroma when you have to pick the variant. Do NOT reboot the device as the patch installation (next Step) is very important.
6. Flash Patch (dowloaded from Step 2) - Select your variant.
7. Flash Signal Patch (downloaded from Step 3)
8. Reboot
Enjoy!

I'm guessing I have the incorrect files, most of the links I found in the thread with these instructions didn't seem to work so I Googled for them, maybe I don't even have the correct files. I took a screenshot in cmd of the exact filesizes.
Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Coming off a fresh TOT flash, I root with towelroot, flash TWRP using AutoRec, flash bootloader, then flashed Cloudy. It will boot at first, but then I run into "black screen of death" or security errors or when trying to boot to recovery, I'll run into similar issues. Does Blastagator's TWRP make the difference here?

I had the exact problem happen to me ....... I got the black screen of death .... phone wouldnt boot ....... and when i used the kk bootloader i would lose recovery ..... I was coming from kk to CloudyG2 ....
This is how i solved.
1. Flashed back to stock, stumproot to root Autorec v1 for bootloader
2. used Flashify to upgrade to 2.8.7.1 ( its now 2.8.7.3)
3. Downloaded n used bumpted LP bootstack and flashed blastagator stripped rom (its in flashable zip and installs everythin including modem .... patches etc EVERYTHING) http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/development/rom-stock-lollipop-30b-stripped-t3144195
4. Downloaded kk bootstack , CloudyG2 3.3 and clean flashed in recovery
I have been enjoying Cloudy ever since ...... D800

Thanks all, got it running! Cloudyfa has done some absolutely brilliant work here with this ROM, as well as xdabbeb with the advanced camera driver and xCam. I'm usually a vanilla-or-nothing guy with my Android ROMs but this one is quick and power efficient. The KitKat ROM that shipped with the phone was super bloated and gross, but I'll admit LG UX 4.0 isn't really that offensive, plus I like the goodies like Multi-Window and QuickRemote. Once I disabled/hid some of the remaining LG bloat, it's surprisingly pleasant and not really that far from AOSP aesthetically. Again, cheers to those who provided the assist on this one for me!
... now my only question is, should I try CloudyG3?

Lg g2 no os at all

Hi!
First I tell you how I recently messed up my LG G2 D802.
I hadn't had a custom rom for ages and now I wanted to have one (This wasn't the first time. I've done this a lot earlier). I had always had root access, but not custom recovery. So the first thing was to install one and I chose to download Rom Manager from Google Play, and then install ClockWorkMod. So, when I was installing the custom recovery I came up with a problem: something went wrong during the installation (I have no idea why). When I booted the device, white letters and numbers appeared on the top left of the screen, saying something like: "boot certification error" and numbers like "[780] [800]" and so on. The screen went black and the phone didn't load the OS. So I was shocked of course because I had never had such a problem.
So, desperate for trying everything to find the solution, I tried tens of ways to try to fix the problem. Finally I read about thing called SRKTool. So I used it and ended up having TWRP on my device, and no OS at all. I tried to flash CM12 and CM12.1 (downloaded from the official site) but nothing works out. TWRP says that flashing the ROM is succesful but when rebooting the system it doesn't load the OS but it comes back to TWRP Recovery mode - WHATEVER I DO. I can't enter the Download -mode at all. I tried hard reseting (Power + Vol - keys), but once again it boots to the TWRP. I can't understand why the TWRP fails to flash the ROM even though it's saying the process was successful. Or maybe this problem is much more internal - and permanent.
After tens of XDA developers' threads I'm writing this here because I'm in need of help. I want to bring my G2 to back in life. I'm out of ideas. Can you help me? I tried to flash the stock firmware but guess what happened? The installation failed, and the device booted back to TWRP. So all I'm able to do is to use the TWRP Recovery. I appreciate your help. Thank you.
(Ps. I'm sorry if I break the rules by writing a new thread. My problem just seems to be so unique that I couldn't find help anywhere.)

If you have access to twrp than you can do what ever is needed
what twrp version douy you have?
enabel MTP, so you can copy from PC

The solution is easy. Download the stock rom for your model and install it with otg cable. The reason cm12 is not booted is because you need jb bootloader or caf bootstacks.

The current version is 2.8.7.3. Should I try other versions?

Did you solve the issue? Or is it still not allowing you to get into your F/W?

Hi!
I tried to install TWRP version 2.6.6.3, but it fails to flash it so I'm stuck with the version 2.8.7.3. All I'm able to enter is just the recovery mode. I can't enter the download mode so I can't flash the stock firmware.
Currently I'm out of ideas. I can't flash any OS, the TWRP fails everytime and creates errors.

Try flash bumped kernel like lp dorimanx then flash bumped bootstak then lp rom like cloudy or stock. Or google this: lg g2 unbrickable now xda ...that work for me

How to root/flash your VS985 if it is runnning Android 6 or lower

THIS IS FOR THE LG G3 VERIZON VS985
ALL STEPS ARE NECESARY TO BOOT TO 4.4.2, ROOT IN KINGOROOT, INSTALL TWRP, FLASH NEW ROM.
Please backup your old ROM if you want to have a quick way to go back to your old phone, but updating from 4.4.2 should work fine.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE
Step 1. Download your TOT file, the one linked below is 4.4.2
http://www.mediafire.com/file/6ip22jjhk7g3kgz/LG+G3+VS985+10B_03+Stock+TOT.zip THIS IS 4.4.2
Step 2. Download LGUP. This will allow you to flash to the TOT file above. The youtube video linked details how to do this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NIHTx6a_kDI
You will have to put your phone into download mode to do this.
Step 3. You should now be using Rooted Android 4.4.2.Install Kingoroot, and root. Now install TWRP. The video linked below will help you out with this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHGQ5X4C1so
Step 4. Now with TWRP installed, find your ROM. The ROM I have linked below is based on Android 5.1, and works well.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...9-skydragon-g3-vs985-kvt49l-vs98512b-t2967868
Step 5. Flash your new ROM using TWRP. The video below will help you out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix7rrKS4keI
If at any point during flashing, your phone will not turn on and flashes blue and red, press and hold vol up + power. This will bring you to the TWRP
screen, where you can flash a new ROM.
If you want to find your own ROM, please make sure it is specifically for the VS985 if that is your phone. Otherwise, issues like the one mentioned
above will occur.
If you have any questions or problems, email me at [email protected] or message me. I would be glad to help.

Thanks for the instructions. I applied VS98510B_03.tot using LGUP to my verizon vs985 (on marshmallow stock rom) to downgrade from marshmallow to kitkat. On reboot, it went into bootloop on verizon logo (not LG logo for hardware bootloop). It turned out a factory reset was all that was needed to clear up the verizon logo bootloop. Afer kingoroot, I flashed twrp, but was puzzled when power+down start went to stock recovery instead of twrp. It turns out that due to twrp relying on bump, you can't go directly to twrp recovery on reboot using physical buttons. i used official twrp app to reboot to twrp recovery. The custom rom I updated was Lineageos 17.1. Unfortunately twrp flash failed with version mismatch. The solution was to use winrar to edit updater-script in the rom zip file and remove the first line which performs the check.

It seems this bricking was a common failure. Sorry to anyone that I put through this headache. coldsprings statement about the physical buttons is absolutely right. To go back to stock I took the battery out, plugged the phone in, put the battery back in (at this point try a factory reset, it didnt work for me) Then follow this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-vs985-flash-back-to-stock-kdz-method.2928140/
