I have a LG G2 D802 international SIM unlocked version. I purchased it from Amazon UK and currently I was using it in INDIA.
The phone came with KITKAT 4.4.2 pre-installed in it. I rooted the phone using Cloudy's method of Autorec by downgrading my kernel.
The phone was rooted successfully and I was on stock rom. I also installed TWRP recovery successfully.
The problem arose when the phone automatically started updating today. It downloaded a new software version of size 139MB(approx) and promised to enhance APPS(only). I was not aware of the fact that this shall not be done and I agreed to update the phone. As soon as the phone restarted it automatically booted into TWRP recovery. Since then it keeps on rebooting into TWRP recovery mode, whenever I reboot it from TWRP recovery.
I tried wiping data, formatting data, system everything I could get my hands on. Nothing worked. The sad part is I did not take a back up of my stock rom. Now, I have lost all my data and the phone just wont boot into system. What do I do now? Can anyone please suggest me something? I would be really really grateful.
If I have posted this in the wrong section or violated any of the rules in the forum, I beg moderator's pardon.
Update: I am extremely sorry for not searching the forum (Since I was not aware of the term OTA) . I found this guide and it helped me. I finally can boot into my phone

Hi Folks,
My apologies if this has been covered before. I was unable to use the forum search and after 3 hours of reading and tinkering, I haven't gotten very far.
I have a fair bit of flashing experience with multiple devices and was under the impression that the Tmo G2 is very easy to flash.
I have a new Tmo D801. The version on the phone when received was 4.4.2. After much scouring of XDA, I found I needed to go back to 4.2.2 to root, flash TWRP and put a new custom ROM down. After more scouring, I managed to use the TOT method of downgrading the Android software to 4.2.2 and that was successful. I used IORoot to root the device, but per many instructions, I never saw the recovery menu. I have tried multiple ways to boot in to recovery. When doing a command line "adb reboot recovery", the little android with the blue wire frame shows up briefly and then the phone goes to the LG icon, then in to the stock 4.2.2 firmware.
What am I doing wrong? I've read through a number of threads including the following:

I haven't taken the OTA that keeps coming up on the phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I got this figured out.
I downloaded an older version of TWRP and installed via Flashify in the OS. Once that was installed, I upgraded TWRP to 2.8 and went through the whole process of upgrading to kitkat, re-rooting, installing AutoRec to get TWRP back on, upgrading TWRP and installing a new CloudyG2 ROM. Everything seems to be working great.
This thread was incredibly helpful:

I was from LineageOS 14.1 and I saw a post where the Nougat update has been pushed. Decided to flash A2017U B29 and it worked fine but when I tried to update, it said failed to update. So decided to reinstall the B29 rom again, and it still failed. So I decided to flash back to my stock rom which is A2017G and my phone is now stuck at the ZTE Boot logo. Waited for more than 40 minutes, still stuck there. Decided to go back to recovery and it seems that my TWRP recovery is no longer there. Only able to go back to stock recovery. Tried factory reset, wipe cache and reboot, still stuck on boot logo. Is there any way to fix this? Basically new to Android so dont really know what I'm doing. Just following tutorials that are in this forum. Pretty much f*cked up right now. Would really appreciate if anyone could help in details as Im new to this Android scene.

Did you get this resolved?
I think the problem is caused by flashing the US version bootstack to a none US version phone. It's relatively ok to flash the system/kernel, but flashing other partitions is asking for trouble.

So do you know how to fix it?
Did you try to flash twrp recovery?
It's been a while since I unlocked my mobile's bootloader, following the steps of a you tube video specifically from the Tecnocat channel. Everything was going well until I thought I did not have any system because whenever I started it it went straight to recovery. Install roms and the same. Until I decided to go directly to the bootloader and start it from there. Of surprise it worked, there was no problem with the system. Everything works fine, but every time I turn off the phone and turn it on it starts in recovery and I have to boot it in fasboot mode and from there start the system. It's tedious, and for example I can not do restarts. I already reprimand the recovery from different sources, and I can not find a solution. Please help
Similar issue
I'm having a similar issue except mine started after mistakenly installing a OTA update (Sept. I think) on a xt1687. Rooted (magisk) with TWRP recovery on stock ROM. Every time I boot it goes into recovery mode, and the only way to get into the phone is through TWRP Reboot > Bootloader, then Start.
I tried flashing the latest stock ROM I could find, but still have the same issue. Only now I'm getting nagged with Install System Update New Version NPNS25.137-93-18. I know better now to follow the OTA update guides, but how do I get the phone back to the way it was before the update? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Greetings everyone,
today I purchased a new G950F S8. Immediately I wanted to root the device, and in order to do so - installed TWRP via Odin 3.13.3 (flashed the newest version for Exynos models downloaded from their web-site). The flashing process went through fine - everything checked out, at least seemingly.
When I first restarted my phone (followed the instruction), it booted up in it's default recovery, NOT TWRP recovery. That seemed strange, so I double checked the instruction - which claimed I need to quickly boot into recovery, as soon as the flashing process is done and the phone is first restarted. Maybe I was slow.. I re-flashed TWRP, and this time it booted into TWRP. Now, this is when the problem started.
I didn't touch anything within TWRP, I was just satisfied to see it installed. When I tried to restart into System, I got the Samsung logo bootloop. I couldn't power off the phone, nor could I boot it up. I could, however, alternate between download mode and TWRP. I tried changing System format and then changing it back to original (saw that somewhere), but it didn't help. Tried factory reset without results.
Finally I downloaded official stock ROM for Italy, flashed via Odin and everything works fine.
Thing is - I really want to root my phone. Had no issues with my Note 3 previously. I wouldn't want to get into more trouble, so I'm kindly asking for some advice, or a useful link (I searched all over but didn't find anything that would make me feel confident enough not to screw it up again) to how I can do this safely.
I'm using Android 9, official stock ROM for Italy.

When you first flash twrp and boot into twrp you have to format phone from within twrp, then flash no Verity zip and rmm bypass zip. If you reboot system before you format then you get bootloop. There is full instructions in a thread here on XDA.
Dear friends,
I have a recovery bootloop problem with my Op6t European version.
On this week I made an OTA update (11.1.1.1 version) with magisk app. I made with install to inactive slot (after OTA) version.
After this process my phone was reboot and got a recovery bootloop. I have never been in this situation although I made more update with this process.
After that I tried to make wipe cache and reset system settings but it was not succes.
I tried to read forum threads where somebody also has this problem. I found a thread where somebody use fastboot and change slot to use phone temporaly. It's also working for me on but I would like to repair that.
Can I get back my old system with my data? How can I make some solution?
Sorry for my bad english.
UPDATE:
Yesterday I tried to reflash the stock rom with adb sideload , but absolutely does nothing in this case.
I am also having this issue. Can someone point me in the right place for a fix?
