I got a bootloop after flashing a recovery, it would it bootloop at the and flash the recovery splash screen.
I can't boot into the phone
Which method do I use to switch recoveries?
This G2 is my pride and joy, and I am panicking quite a bit :/
I have additional info on the last post here V

To whoever finds me the solution, I will buy you a lunch!!
Hello. The only way of switching recoveries when you can't access your current custom recovery is by going back to stock using the "how to go back to stock" method that's stickied in the G2 General section.
Make sure you download the right firmware for your device, that you have the right drivers installed and that your phone (and computer is charged).

Hello, so I am having a bit of a crisis. LEt me start by giving a brief description of what has been done to the phone...
LG G2 ATT (d800) running 4.4.2 OTA.
Was rooted AFTER the OTA update.
I tried to install a custom recovery first by using ROM Manager to install from the phone itself. The stock recovery was intact as of this point, as ROM manager just flat didn't work. My next move was to follow the thread found here...http://theunlockr.com/2013/11/03/fla...ersions-video/
That is were I started seeing issues. The phone no longer was able to boot into recovery at all. I received the "secure boot error". So I took another approach.
I followed the post found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2582142
This is where I am now. The phone is stuck on the LG boot screen. I suspect my problem began when I used the files found on that post for the d802 instead of my d800. However, ubuntu will not recognize my phone now. Download mode will not help, it appears.
I think the solution may lie in the post found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2432476
The issue I am seeing with this is that I cannot see the COM ports within device manager to set the correct port. I will post in that thread as well, just to reach as many people as I possibly can.
WHAT DO I DO.
Thank you for your future help.
So it all started today when I tried to flash Cloudy G3, it didn't work, it soft bricked I restored backup, all good. After this, my phone started acting weird by powering up again after I powered it off, not opening Quick Remote and saying SIM is not ready. So I decided to give Clopudy G3 a try once more but I needed TWRP, I installed the TWRP i needed but I got error status 7 so I used flashify which was recommended to me. Well I flashed TWRP using flashify and, now when I try to get into recovery mode it enters fastboot mode and stays there. I figure the solution to this is going back to stock, and I found that the best method is from a dude called Hyleton in XDA But that falishify thing left me without a download mode! No recovery, no download... is there even a fix for this?. Now my phone is the international version (D802) but this guy has trillions of firmaware for lots of different D802s and I don't know which one to download and use! I downloaded the one in the folder that says "D802 tot" and selected the 32GB one. Can somebode PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME, my knowledge on rooting is pretty basic, and a lot of the things in that thread, like for example the word "TOT" I don't understand! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476&highlight=d802
Now can somebody please explain this guide to me? I am wanting to do the second method (the TOT method). I would really appreciate this, REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
well
I wont be much help, but maybe i can simplify for people who come accross this thread. Ive read it a few times and im quite confused.
You said you flashed cloudyG3, had problems, then went back to stock.
What recovery did you use to backup, restore, and flash cloudy g3?
No i want to flash stock, after trying to flash Cloudy G3 I used flashify to flash TWRP and it went nuts and and now my phone is working strangely. I'm currently trying to go back to stock in the hope that it'll fix my problems and I'm using Hyleton's guide, as I have no download mode I'm gonna use a .kdz file but in his guide there's lots of KDZ files and I don't know which one to use! Any idea on that? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 here's the thread and if you look at the stock firmware files you'll see there's tonnes of .kdz for the D802, could you help me find the correct one for my phone? My phone is simply D802, no other letters like the ones in that list have (which confuses me as to which file I have to use to flash stock) and I bought in the US, but I live in Argentina....
Hello all,
Today I read a lot of posts here about rooting my phone because I was done with the stock UI.
I went for it and now I think I made a mistake, I would like your help. I read some similair posts, but I cant find a true solution for my problem.
My goal is to run CM 11, I have a stock LG 802 config with 4.2.2.
My steps were as followed:
- I used towelroot v3 wich was succesful
- I installed and ran D802 autorec (wich i guess was a bad idea). I got to recovery mode and I wanted to back up first.
- I made a back up of boot and system
- After the back up, I had to reboot
- NOW its stuck in a boot sequence to nothing. Just a light green and blue. I get the logo and I can get in the stock recovery it seems. Should I reset to factory settings?? Is that data still present?
I hope I can go from there, but after my major fail Im afraid to try it.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Update
I can get into download mode and LG Support Tool finds a phone, but the specs do not match and the update states that there is not any update available, wich there is.
When I get into recovery mode I can get into TWRP and I should be able to continu the process with flashing and wiping. The CM mod and Gapps are already on the internal memory. But I am really afraid.
For the record I did not flash or wipe anything yet, except for running Autorec and rebooting after prompt.
The real question for me is (I guess), is Autorec really unsupported with 4.2.2?
I would like to go on with the process, but I also would like to go back stock if needed in the future (hence the recovery back up I made with TWRP before the bootloop.)
Thanks again for any help what so ever
Hello! I was able to restore to stock my KK LG G2 D800 from KK to JB last week using the TOT method. After I restored to stock I went ahead and took all of the AT&T OTA's until I was running stock LP. After I got stock LP I was able to root and install TWRP.
Last night - stock LP was running sluggish (go figure) so I decided to go ahead and do a factory wipe in TWRP. However, out of habit - I went into advanced and wiped everything but the SD card. I went to reboot and...now I have no system installed on the phone.
For whatever reason - I cannot get the phone to boot into recovery. I've tried the physical button presses a million times in a million different configurations but it just won't boot into recovery no matter what I do.
I plugged it into the computer through USB and the phone is being recognized but I cannot get ADB to find the device so I can issue commands.
I am able to get to the phone into download mode no problem - just not recovery.
I tried to go back to stock using the TOT method again - and LG Flashtools fails giving me a download error before it starts.
Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated. I took it to AT&T Device Support Center and the guy told me LG hasn't given them any flash tools - could just be because the phone is rooted.
You state that you tried the TOT method using LG Flash tools, so I assume that you followed all the little nuances of that method (going into device manager and setting correct COM port, removing the cable one time and reconnecting), etc. I don't remember all the steps with 100% accuracy, but any guide (either xda post or you tube video) contains all of them. I did the same thing as you a (wipe system) a while back, and there was no way to get back into recovery. I had to do the entire TOT procedure.... Good luck

Thank you for your reply. Yes, sir. I tried the different .dll's and changed the port to 41 and everything. I did just fix the issue - I was able to FINALLY get into recovery (gotta make sure the phone is COMPLETELY OFF!!!! - whoops). Once in recovery I was able to download Grola or Simple ROM and flash that through TWRP. Everything booted up perfectly and I am back on Lollipop. Once some D800 LP ROMs start popping up - this won't be an issue anymore.
First want to say hi and that this site is full of knowledge so any help with my subject will be great.
Got a att s4 sgh-i337 phone. I rooted it before the lollipop ota update was out and everything went fine. Then the lollipop update came out and I followed one of the methods on keeping root and updating to 5.0.1 lollipop on the phone. Everything went fine with that. Still showed root status and never did the phone brick or have any issues in the updating.
At some point though, I did run triangle away because I would have the custom logo and opened padlock when the phone would boot up. I knew it wasn't a huge deal but the counter showed correct and never could just figure out how to get it to go away. Either way, I did run it and I think rebooting twice, the factory loading image came back to it. Now it shows my current status as 0 for the counter and the binary is Official.
I have not tried to load any roms or nothing like this to the phone, just followed the instructions to give it root access so I could run a few different apps and adaway for when I listen to Spotify.
One day, I was trying to install a new version of Words with Friends and it failed because I think wwf was open, but I did go back and install it. For some reason now, my phone never notifies my with a wwf notification when somebody plays me. Every now and then, it might pop up when I restart the phone but that is it. I don't think facebook notifies me everytime also but was more worried about words with friends.
Searching google, it says to go into recovery mode and flash the cache of the phone there. I have done the cache memory in the phone but that has not fixed my problem. When trying to go to recovery, it never works, it would always show, recovery booting and then load the phone up as normal.
I have download quick boot and rom manager since they all have an option to boot into recovery rather than pressing the buttons but it always does the same thing. Reading the web though, it seemed like I needed to install a different recovery than the factory I guess, so using rom manager, I tried twrp and that didn't work so I installed ClockworldMod 6.0.4.7. Rom manager shows that as the current recovery method.
When I try to boot into recovery, it still shows that recovery is booting and then goes straight to loading the phone as it should normally.
Now though, every time I restart my phone, it says recovery is trying to boot but never does.
How do I fix my phone to be able to boot into recovery and it not try to boot every time it powers on. I have tried searching google but I just just can find an answer to my direct problem. I know how to hold the buttons and go to recovery but does not work, and I also know how to get to it from the different app programs(rom manager and quick boot) but they do not work either. It would be nice to get the wwf notifications to work properly again also.
If you need any information from my phone, please ask. Thanks for any help on my matter,
Charlie
Odin stock and start over.
Apparently, you are not aware that the boot loader is locked, preventing the installation of a custom kernel. You can not use twrp, or rom manager. Rom manager itself may cause issues.
I agree you should flash back to stock and start over to get a clean install. Hopefully, this will solve the issues with notifications as well. You can use the "[GUIDE]Odin to Stock, Updating, Rooting, and Installing Safestrap" by guut13 in the general forum for files and instructions.

Thanks for the replies guys, I really don't know a whole lot about rooting other than following instructions about it. I was unaware you could not use the twrp or cwr as a recovery. My recovery did not work before so that is why I was trying to install those. I knew you could not install custom roms but I did not know that you could not use rom manager to install custom recoveries.
I appreciate the help so far and I will look into that thread you mentioned. I haven't read it but will this take me back to stock lollipop 5.0.1 and I just reinstall apps or will I have to re-root the phone.
Charlie
please delete, sorry
Charlie
You have to go back to 4.4.4, to the nb1 base, root with towelroot, and then use the keeproot method to get back to 5.0.1 rooted. The instructions are in the guide, and also a link to the keeproot thread is there.
By the way, for future reference, questions, help and troubleshooting issues should go in the Q&A forum, not the general forum.
not having any luck
Ok guys,
I am trying to follow the guide but not having much luck.
I downloaded the I337UCUFNB1_4.4_Stock_Odin_tar and put it in the AP Odin file. I'm not sure if I should be using it or the other file named I337UCUFNB1_4.4_Rootable_Stock_Odin_tar to begin with. The instructions said to use the first one so that is the one I was trying to use.
After putting the first file in the AP slot of Odin and hitting start, it begins to try to do it's thing and then says it fails!
What do I do now? Am I doing something wrong or what because I'm trying to follow instructions but not having much luck.
Please help. Sorry for posting in the wrong area also in the beginning.
Charlie
I'm screwed
Now when I turn my phone on, it says Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again?
doing better now
Pretty sure I got it going finally. I changed cords and then changed ports on my computer and it finally did go back to stock without an error. I'm currently back on Lollipop and rooted so now is the fun of reinstalling contact info and anything else. So far I have not rebooted but it was not showing the recovery booting option when it did reboot. Hoping my notifications work properly now also!
Thanks!!!
Charlie
