Hello!
I hope someone will help me.
I have LG VS980 26A.
I rooted it, but not yet installed recovery. so it has simple-standart stock recovery.
then I was incorrectly changed "media_profiles.xml" in /system/etc and got bootloop.
only I can access "HARD RESET" & did it, but already guessed, that can't help.
what method I can use to repair phone?
EDIT:
I managed things using "flash ROM KDZ Method"
Note: that "LGUserCSTool.exe" quite times crashes..
thanks to you all.
help!
Hello! How were you able to root? I have been trying for a month now and theres nothing that can root my vs98026a

I rooted the phone, everything was going good. I was playing with Exposed and I wanted to remove soft keys. I found a post to edit build.prop and I did not back up build.prop before i tried to edit it and all went all from there.
Now When i turn it on i get it booted up but it says unfortunately androidsystem.ui has stopped and wont go any farther,
I am running 4.4.2 stock rom, After this I did a factory reset hoping this to fix the problem...This did not fix it lol.
I am afraid I can not ADB it now as I do not have developer options and USB debugging....
Anyway to edit Build.prop from the computer?
if not how do i fix this?
Thank you!

First off, brick means it's as functional as a fired clay brick.
Second. ADB from recovery. If you don't have a custom recovery, factory reset.

I don't think a factory reset would help since it only wipes data and cache. He said he already tried one without success.
If you have a custom recovery installed, you have a couple of options. If adb is working, you can pull/push a fixed build.prop. Or you could find a stock build.prop and create a flashable zip for it.
If you don't have a custom recovery, as far as I know you're pretty much stuck having to flash a factory image, which means you'll lose all your data because your internal storage will be wiped.

I do not have a custom recovery as I rooted 4.4.2 and as far as I know you can not have recovery with 4.4.2 root unless you downgrade to 4.2 first, root then update, Correct?
I was wondering, Can i install custom recovery now?
Keep in mind this is my second LG G2, The first one I COMPLETELY bricked it and it wont power on, no LG image, No charge, no download mode nothing. I do not want that again as it is a paper weight now lol.

Would this be the process I would go with?
Thanks to everyone for the help....I hope to have my phone back up and running soon!

I have the Verizon version so I can't speak for others, but you only need to downgrade to the 4.2 bootloader to install the recovery and then you can go back to the 4.4 bootloader. I used AutoRec which does it all for you automatically. But at this point I don't think you'll be able to flash a custom recovery, as you either need adb access or the ability to install an apk.
Here's the guide for flashing the factory images: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I suggest trying the TOT method first if your variant is supported
Thank you,
I believe I will trade to flash stock rom again and root from 4.4.
Wish me luck.
As i look into the TOT flash procedure I am wondering what Variant the D803 is....
I have a Telus LG G2 and I believe it is the D803....
It is fixed everyone. Thanks to everyone who helped.

Hello everyone! I am a beginner in the modification of Android, having rooted my g2 I followed a tutorial to fix the 4g on AMALBK in France. but I wondered if these changes could cause problems during updates?

If you modify the ROM you won't be able to OTA. That includes custom recovery, moving, renaming, or otherwise modifying anything in /system.

Thank you for the answer! How to find a phone like the factory? Can I update with lg pc suite?
I tried updating my phone via OTA the other day, but because I had TWRP recovery, when my system installed the updated, it would boot into TWRP, and.... that was basically it, could not update, had to rollback from a backup I took moments before. Then, in a stroke of genius, I used flashify to restore the original recovery and almost bricked my device.
Big tip for anyone in this situation...
When using flashify, use recovery IMAGE not zip, if you use the zip function, it has to boot into a recovery to use it, so the image file is the preferred method, in my opinion.
Hey guys,
I have a Rogers p705G. I tried flashing a recovery. However I accidentally flashed one for L3. Now when I go into recovery the graphics is completely messed up and I cant read anything. Before this I flashed Kitkat Prime. For some reason I have lost root. I am trying to reinstall a proper recovery for the L7 so I can properly flash another rom or go to stock. Can anyone please help me with this? Thanks.
Oppiee
Hmm... I think I'd tried a hard reset with the hardware buttoms, if not I'd tried to install a stock room in download mode. Then, you can try it (root, recovery, flashing) again.

download cwm for your device place it on your internal sdcard and download flashify apk from google play or any other marker you may be using. And flash the recovery from the app.

Flash throught fastboot
I got my spare G2 today and have run into a bit of a problem with rooting it. The root process seems to have gone fine. It says I am rooted and I can use Root Explorer to remove bloat and such, but something seems to have gone wrong with the recovery. If I try to boot into recovery, I get an error message that says something about Secure booting error. It has some other info, but the screen goes black so quickly that I can't make out what it is saying. If I hold the power button down, I can reboot the phone as normal so it's not bricked, but without a recovery I can't do any custom Roms. I've tried various methods to flash a new recovery and they all said they were successful, but I still can't get into recovery mode.
Does anyone know what I did wrong or how to get around this? The phone came with firmware 4.4.2 26a if that means anything to your advice.
Thanks a million for any help.
Looks like your recovery gone. Flash stock Lollipop Kdz then root and install TWRP with Autorec from Google Play.
Thank you. Just did the TOT method to flash back to stock 26a so thankfully all is back to normal. Now i'm afraid to try it again because I don't know what went wrong. The ioroot version I have is an older version for 24a or backwards. That's the one I used for my original G2. So I tried using a different method (one click) for this phone and it was a mistake. Could I use the flash tool to kdz back to 24a and then root using the method I know or do I have to stick to 26a for hardware reasons?
EDIT: First of all, thanks for the responses. Second of all, I messed up. I ran a script that I found online called root.sh (I can't link anything until I get to 10 posts). I used that and it didn't work and unrooted me. I tried rebooting my phone(worst idea every) and now it's in a bootloop. I don't think I have root access and I've tried a factory reset. I didn't get any custom recovery and my phone is stuck in a bootloop. I have no idea how to get out of this. Any help is 100% appreciated.
I'm sorry if this is the wrong section but, I couldn't find a section for the M919V. So I recently rooted my Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V running lollipop 5.0.1 using the PC version of Kingoroot. I've been looking for a way to replace Kingo Superuser with SuperSu. I can only seem to find anything about replacing Kinguser/Kingroot (not Kingo Superuser). I would keep Kingo Superuser but, after a reboot it doesn't allow any apps to use root access even though it says it is. I have to keep uninstalling and reinstalling Kingo Superuser and waiting then it finally fixes by it's self (currently it's broken) . SuperSu-Me says I don't have Kingroot (once again, not Kingoroot). I've also tried a script but, once again, it didn't work. I know next to nothing about the inner workings of android phones so please keep any answers simple please.
Flash custom recovery.
Flash SuperSU.
Can't get any simpler.
The sgh-m919v is basically the same phone as the T-mobile S4. The sgh-m919v was issued by Canadian varriers that run an AWS network: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SGH-M919V/
The t-mobile s4 forum is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile
Here's what I would do: flash a stock ROM via Odin to bring the phone back to a stock state and then root using cfautoroot if you want stock recovery or flash TWRP and flash supersu from TWRP.

Now, if you still want SuperSU, flash CF-Auto-Root.
