[Q] Flashed the wrong Recovery!!!! CAN D801/803 (Videotron) - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have the LG G2 D801/803 Canadian model with Videotron that is now stuck in Fastboot mode(can't acces download mode) because I flashed the wrong Recovery. I'd just rooted the phone and was trying to flash the TWRP to make a nandroid backup before flashing a new ROM. From what I read all over the the net, I was pretty confident that the Videotron model was in fact the D801 T-mobile version. Guess it was NOT!
Although I've been flashing ROMs for a long time, I've always been careful and now I feel completely lost. I've read, searched, read, searched, but I REALLY need help :
1. I'm not sure which is the right model for my G2 (videotron). I found this thread but that says it's a D803 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611749
2. But, there is no sub-forum for that model (D803)
3. Is it possible to reflash the recovery ?
4.What method should I use ?
Thank you for your help

Hello,
Or in fastboot, simply flash the right recovery with:
"fastboot flash recovery XXX.img"
XXX.img is the name of your recovery file.

Hello,
Thank you for the quick reply . That's exactly what I would like to do :good:. But I dont know wihch recovery file would work because I'm not sure of my G2 version. As I said before, there is no sub forum for the Canadian G2 (Videotron) with the files and all (Boot.img/Recovery.img/Laf.img). That's what got me there in the first time : I used the D801 T-Mob with Auto Rec (my G2 said that's it's a D801), but upon other research it seems to be a D803 in disguise. I can't seem to find the D803 forums/files (ex: Recovery.img) to flash it back.
Thanks

Hello,
Do I really need to return to stock ? Can't I flash the recovery img needed ? My problem is that I can't find the TWRP recovery to the D803 Videotron model. I found the REC for Bell and Rogers (canadian) but not for videotron (Is one of those the correct one?)
Plus I don't have my IMEI #, I didn't wrote it down. As I said my phone can't boot, is stuck in fasboot mode and I can't get to download mode.Unless I find the REC I'll probably have to return to stock.
Thank you

Have you tried with a custom recovery like PhilZ Touch?
Just flash the .img

I have manage to flash "Philz Touch recovery" with fastboot. I did not erase nor flash boot.img, aboot.img or Laf.img. But upon rebooting the phone was still stuck in fastboot mode. I'm now in the process of doing a hard reset and the phone is asking me to " permanently erase users data and reset settings" ? Should I do it?

Hi,
What I've done so far :
In fastboot, I tried to simply flash the right recovery. Could not find the TWRP's one, so I settled for Philz Touch recovery. Did not work! I'm still in fastboot mode. (I flash the recovery.img only).
6ril1 explained that because I did it with AutoRec I've flashed bad laf, bad kernel too, bad aboot.

The problem : I'm not even sure what G2 model my Videotron model is (I just want to make sure I get this right). Info I have written down before going into fastboot mode:
IMEI #
Model number : D801 (What got me screwed in the first place)
Software version : not sure (D80120e i think)
Thanks
I've found a way to download the 2 firmware files (D801V20D and D801V20E). Now which one is the one for my G2 D801 Videotron ?
PLEASE HELP!!!!!

First double check that you can enter recovery. Hold the power button until the phone completely shuts down. Wait 5 seconds. Then hold power + volume down until it vibrates and LG logo shows up. Release both buttons. Then press them again quickly and hold them. You will enter recovery. Or the phone my offer to do a factory reset which btw won't happen since it will go to recovery by pressing the power button 2 more times. If you have TWRP then you are good. Install ADB on your PC and the LG drivers. When you have ADB, Download (check everything) related to JB and KK. Reboot the PC. Connect your phone with the cable. The PC will not recognize the phone. You have to use a little trick in the device manager first:
Press the windows key + pause/break and click on device manager. Right click on the faulty device with the yellow exclamation mark and hit properties then update driver. Click on the second option then from the list search for ADB or ADB device or something along those lines. Select the LG driver and hit OK. Unplug the phone. The phone must be in recovery still. Inside recovery hit advanced and look for ADB sideload. Check both checkboxes on what to wipe. If you don't already have a rom you want to flash, then use this one. It is a very stable and fast one and I only recommend it because I had the same issue as you and it worked for me. Download that rom and rename the zip file to rom.zip and copy it to the location where your adb.exe file is. You will also need the KK baseband modem otherwise auto rotation won't work. Search for it on the D802 dev thread. Now on your PC, open a command prompt inside the directory you copied the rom.zip (shift + right click) and hit "open command prompt here". Type in:
adb devices (this will ensure that your connection with the phone is alive. If you see some weird string then it works. That is the name of the phone btw)
adb sideload rom.zip

Installation will now begin. You are saved.
Of course all the above only applies if you have acces to recovery. But I wonder how could you screw that one up. It's literally a simple apk installation and a 1 button solves everything app. If you don't have recovery you can still try to save your phone with download mode. Here is a link that maybe helps but I havent tested it
And one last thing: Don't use Flashtool.
thanks man. But unfortunately no recovery. The phone ONLY goes to download mode.
I will try to flash .kdz because tot method didn't work. If .kdz fails then i don;t know.... expensive paper holder

Did you tryed to cleanflash? Btw why is your download mode missing
It shows chinese characters before going to twrp. I don't get it why it is like that
Does it show the chinese characters and then boots into twrp? If so maybe try to flash also later 2.8.4.0 recovery from blastagator.
Try to google the right rom for the D803 Canadian version cause I've read that some D803 models need to flash roms from another model instead.

Well maybe outdated loki or yeah I can't tell you the truth exactly, Ehhm... Maybe you have to flash the bootloader files again? Try to find bootloader files for your phone in a flashable zip. Maybe that works
First try to find alternative things before what I said about the bootloader, cause flashing the wrong things can harm it.

I borked it further by trying to install older recovery using dd command while in TWRP. Ended up with secure boot error ONLY when I try to press all three buttons, and then I get QDLOAD_BULK in device manager. Device continues to boot normally if I press the power button.
Tried to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 [FIX] NO Recovery mode, No download mode, after OTA on rooted LG G2, but wouldn't work in Ubuntu.

Used LG Flash tool KDZ flasher to flash v20 Rogers, but failed at 40%. Tried again, still failed.
