woke up and it was sitting in recovery, so i rebooted a few times to only end up in the recovery screen. i then wiped the cache and system and rebooted,and when TWRP asked if i wanted to root, i swiped right(never seen that screen before). but this time im stuck at the LG logo with no options for recovery/reset/etc.
when i plug it into my PC, device manager sees it as "LGE Android phone". HELP PLEASE! thanks.
bump?
Were you rooted running stock or a custom rom at the time this happened? Try to long press power for 15 seconds to shut the phone down, then use the hard keys to enter recovery. Is TWRP still availabe or no?

Well you were clearly rooted if you were running a custom rom. Since you were in TWRP following the mishap, it should still be there. You sure you're going about that correctly? You need to press and hold power for 15 seconds to power off. Then use whatever button combo is necessary for your variant, there are some differences. Then accept the factory reset option to enter TWRP.
My guess, and it's only a guess...is that your phone, being close enough to stock, applied an OTA without your knowing or even choosing to accept it which landed you in a recovery reboot loop. That's a known side effect on a G2 with stock + custom recovery. But since you were on a custom rom and you said you wiped system, it's no mystery that you don't have a booting phone. You need to get back into TWRP, adb push a rom to /sdcard and flash it. Unless of course you have a working nand backup in which case you can restore that and save yourself some time and effort.

If using hard keys it can vary slighly by variant. adb reboot recovery should do it though.
huh, took apart the phone to try the linux fix(didnt end up working), put it back together, and now the download mode works. not sure if i was just being stupid in the past or what, but HURRAY! thanks so much

I had the same issue. I believe it was a bad MD5. Although I know you can adb command from a PC, I had just recently deleted all of my drivers to get into a couple of nexus 7's.keep trying the volume down and power key the correlation seems to be if you can hit it right as it boots. I made it back to the factory data reset screen hit power through and dropped into TWRP.
I'm not sure how much you know or if you've ever had to boot through the factory reset screen but it does NOT actually reset your device rather is the push to your recovery.
Good luck,

I have done that sevral times now before it did go into that recovery twrp but not when I do it it goes into fastboot everytime , its like it has wiped twrp off the phone and no recovery , even used fastboot on pc to boot into it and it wont just goes back to fast bootscreen
you should be able to still get recovery -switch off phone,press vol down and power button at the same time as soon as you see the lg logo press the same combination again and hopefully it will go to a white screen with factory reset press the button I think 3 times and it will take you thru to twrp it may take a few tries but if u get the combo right it will work -if not you may have to go to the thread in xda g2 forum and im afraid learn how to restore your phone to factory state again which is a pain in the a**e but make sure you have all the necessary drivers installed as that will not work properly either-hopefully you can get back into recovery and restore your back up-good luck!
Hi all,
Heres the run down.
I was on CM nightly (latest so 2-11-13) CWR 6.0.4.4 Loki enabled.
Tried installed AOKP without full wipe , full wipe was hanging at wiping cache.
AOKP installed and nothing was working, not even internal storage.
Used CW to restore to old back of CM. everything is back to normal but still no bootloader!
did adb command and clicked boot into bootloader on recovery.
Its LG logo for about a minute, than restarts booting back into CM..
Is there a way to get bootloader back tho?
At this point a full system restore would make sense. And also in case I want to send it in for warranty.
I think its bc i flashed this

No does not work. As i explained there is no bootloader. something is blocking it.

Sorry dude, youve flashed the wrong file and now I think you might have lock seized your bootloader. Take it to LG service, thats the only option left to you.
Hi, cut a long story short, I have no ROM downloaded on my phone and I am in recovery. When I boot to system it displays my phone is not rooted and then gets stuck at the boot screen.
This has happened because I factory resetted my phone, then wiped EVERYTHING within recovery, and obviously I wasn't thinking that I would be left without a rom.
What should I do please? How can I get a ROM on to my phone?
Thanks.

Hi,
First check if you can go to download mode.
turn off device. then wait few seconds. then press volume down button and plug the usb to your pc. if you see download mode you are good to go. i am waiting for your answer.
or, if my memory serves me well, you can ADB push the ROM, the .zip file over and flash it from recovery.
thanks for your replies guys, I entered download mode and flashed a stock kdz file, this had worked successfully I am now back to lg g2 stock with no root! my phone is amazingly faster but ahh cant survive without root
cheers.
U can root it now. Go ahead
Hey guys,
i never flashed/rooted/modified my Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 before. Sitting on my desk, my phone turned off suddenly. At the first moment i thought, that the battery is just empty. After i charged the phone and went away, i got back and saw, that it was rebooting (the whole time?)
As i said, i got never in contact with modding/flashing, so i had to read pretty much about these things. After several days of reading and trying i did this:
Tried to get into Recovery Mode with VOL Up and Power button to wipe - "recovery is not seandroid enforcing set warranty bit recovery" in blue, red and yellow.
Flashed several Stock ROMs by Sammobile. After every flash i flashed TWRP - no change.
I get easily into Download Mode to flash the Stock ROMs, no errors in Odin, didn't check autoboot and repartition
Yesterday i flashed I9505XXUFNA5 - Open Europe - KK 4.4.2 (four-pieced) sucessfully. Then i flashed TWRP and tried to get into Recovery Mode - same results, i thought. But after i put the phone on my desk to think about what to do next, TWRP Recovery Mode was starting. I was totally happy, but didnt want to do something wrong in my euphoria. So i put out the battery to read about what to do, allthough i knew i wanted to do a wipe. After i read i wanted to try it again - no chance! I couldnt get into recovery mode again. I waited, nothing happened. Tried it again and again.. and again. Then i flashed the Stock ROM again, flashed TWRP again - no change. Meanwhile did this 8 times again and i didnt get into recovery mode again. Thats absolutely illogical in my opinion.
Please help me to get out of this, i dont know what to do now... THANKS
Recovery is volume up, home, and power button?

Yes, home is optional (as i read) but i press this 3 buttons. I pressed it in several variations, for example like one user here in xda: "right after it vibrates release the power button only, keep pressing the volume up and home buttons for another 5-10sec as Whosebat recommended..."
Home button is not necessary, just vol up / down + power button. I also have the same issue as you. I went to a GSM service earlier today and over there was another S4 with exactly the same issue. Looks like lifespan of our phone reached to an end?

Just speculating, but: I didnt update to the firmware version, from which you couldnt get back to the earlier versions. The reason would be some safety reasons. I thought about a relation to that for a short period of time.

I think "bump" is the word you're looking for
After you flash the stock ROM, does it actually boot into the stock recovery?

No, i have never seen the stock recovery. I was 2 times in TWRP Recovery, but meanwhile i dont get there anymore. I have no clue why i get after doing exactly the same things into TWRP Recovery and 3 minutes later i dont get there anymore.
I came two times into TWRP with flashing I9505XXUFNA5 - Open Europe - KK 4.4.2, then TWRP 2.8.6.0.
With other Stock ROMs i got never into Recovery Mode.
Please help me

So stock recovery doesn't work either?
It's really weird.
Have you tried flashing TWRP using the app Flashify (requires root)?

I tried to flash now a GT-I9505-Factory-Firmware-Full-Wipe-DBT with following files, but nothing changes except i get Warranty bit : kernel if i want to start normally without booting into recovery mode.
Dear all.
My phone is US996 Unlocked, no USC variant model.
My phone has bootloop to recovery. My phone can't boot to system OS.
I tried flash boot.img and wipe data partition, I can't solve my problem.
Anyone, Can you help me?
I need stock recovery image or full firmware(KDZ).
Thanks.

I was in a similar position to where it would just always boot into recovery forever. I tried doing several restores from stock and other backups. Different ROMs and even went through dirtysanta again. Nothing worked.
What wound up working was me getting into the device's factory restore screen (not TWRP's). I believe you get there by turning on the device while holding the Vol down + power button, when the LG screen comes up - let go of the power button for like 1-2 seconds and then press/hold it again. It should be a white screen that's asking if you want to do the factory screen or not. Just do that. It did its thing - then went to the LG screen again. I was a bit impatient and only waited like 2 mins. It didn't go anywhere (you could probably wait longer or so) but I just simply took out the battery and then put it back in.
It did wind up booting to the system again after awhile.
Just letting you know what I did after I messed up with a certain thing in a hidden menu.
