Hello guys, need some help here. I am new to LG G2 but have been rooting and flashing before on other devices.
So... model is D802 - Croatia, was simlocked to TELE2 but today i bought that key and unlocked it. Then i rooted and root checker said it was all OK. Then i downloaded AutoRec (D802_AutoRec.apk) and flashed TWRP 2.7.0.0 and hit go to recovery. And i can't boot since. I managed to push files to sd via ADB (i pushed some small txt file just to check). When use key combination to go to recovery it always goes first to factory reset. Then if i chose not to reset i get black screen with leds blinking green and blue. If i factory reset it resets and enters recovery. I can also enter download mode. i am guessing this is just some soft brick?
What should i do? can i just wipe all and install custom rom? i downloaded some custom 5.0.2 rom which i plan to flash. Can i use this or should i go to stock. If stock... which kdz should i get? Please help me out here, or point me where to look.
update: i managed to push complete rom zip file to internal storage and i can see it in recovery file manager. just waiting for advice now before wipe and flash.
Thank you
Flash 5,0,2 it's OK but you need to flash gapps too. Wipe everything but not internal storage.
Thanks for reply. I will try to flash as you said. However there is one thing that concerns me.
Why is it when i go to recovery it always goes to factory reset first and i can only enter recovery if i actually reset it. This should not be normal behavior because you would have to factory reset it each time when you go to recovery. Could it be that recovery is not installed properly although i don't see anything strange in recovery itself?
Update: This does not answer factory reset question but just to inform that i flashed crDroid ROM and it works OK by the first look. One thing that i notice that is not working as it should is that phone wakes on shaking and it won't go to sleep on double tap screen. How to fix this?

This push to factory rese does nothing it is still implemened from the sock recovery the wake on shake is due to the feaure wake on lift you can disable it somewhere in the options. Diuble ap 2 sleep only works on statusbar with aosp rom stock launcher
OK i found this lift to wake and its ok now.
So this means that on crDroid i can't use double tap to sleep anywhere on screen?

Use a custom launcher like nova or solo and you can add it

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, 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
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
Greetings.
A few hours ago I wanted to install a ROM (Don't even remember which rom it was, so that's great) onto my phone.
I do what everyone should do and open up google and search for a tutorial.
Step 1 was something like "The most important thing you need to do is make sure you have a backup in case your phone soft bricks", so of course that I made a backup.
I download twrp manager, give it permissions and go to backup.
I leave the defaults checked thinking that it's probably good as it is and press backup. After a minute or so I notice that it won't boot up.
So I press the power button. It starts, nothing is wrong, after the loading screen however everything stops.
Everything from the UI app to the bluetooth app, to facebook twitter and youtube. Literally, "unfortunately *EVERYTHING* has stopped"
Even holding down the power button and pressing "emergency" mode brings up a message saying "emergencymodesomething has stopped"
I try getting to the boot menu, holding down power, home and volume up, I see the samsung screen and remove my finger from the volume up button, after a few seconds screen goes black, not responding.
From what I've seen in the "everything has stopped" type of power up, connecting it to my phone through USB does not seem to give any results.
Anything I can do that does not include buying a new phone, or anything at all for that matter?
Oh forgot to say it is a samsung galaxy A5, not the one with the fingerprint and whatever but an older version.
Trying to do a factory reset with adb won't work because it says "device unauthorized"
Anyone?
Well thanks for the help everyone... /s
Turns out my phone didn't just boot from recovery, just that the screen was black for some reason.
Followed a video done the exact thing and managed to factory reset it

Yes, he can also use stock recovery for wiping data
I had to reboot my device due to problems with my speaker. Now i'm not able to boot anymore.
I'm only able to get into ODIN Mode, and flashing new FW or TWRP does nothing. It'll flash correctly, but as soon as it sends the reboot command the device powers off and does not boot, and no, it does not reach the "Galaxy s8, powered by android screen".
It does not want to power on, and only responds to the odin button combo, can't boot into recovery either since nothing works.
I was running the latest version of Renovate Ice if that matters.
I've searched trough some other threads, but it seems like i'm the only one that's having this problem.
Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Edit 1: I've tried flashing both AQK7 and AQG5. Both flash fine, but as soon as odin sends the reboot command to my phone, it turns off and does not turn on.
Auto Reboot is ticked. Same goes for any version of TWRP, it will flash, but when it has to reboot the device turns off and does not turn on. There's nothing on the screen, its completely black and the only thing that does work is Download Mode. I've also tried ereasing nand, and repartitioning storage. Both seem to have 0 effect. As stated in one of my replies, i was running the latest build of renovate-ice with magisk, no other mods, or themes installed.
Im a bit confused - you can only boot into download mode (not into twrp?) and the phone is in bootloop? Have you flashed anything (mod?) before or activated a substratum theme which could cause this?
The only thing I can think of is a) you delete in twrp file manager the corrupted file, if there is something like this or b) a twrp restore from a backup. Boot into download mode and then do not press vol up to go into odin mode but press vol down to reboot - then immediately press the combo for twrp and you will get to the recovery. This helped my s8 many times when I was in a bootloop and couldnt boot up twrp

Thanks for the reply! Other than using the Renovate-Ice rom, and running magisk the thing was pretty much stock. wasn't messing around in twrp either. Its not stuck in a bootloop either, it just refuses to do anything other than go in and out of DL mode. The phone does not respond to any button imputs other than DL mode. As stated in the OP it does not boot at all, just a black screen. i've already tried to reflash a stock FW and TWRP, but that does not seem to work...
try the method I did - this is the last thing I could think of, before reflash the whole phone with odin

Doesn't work sadly, but thanks for the help anyways!
but you havent installed Viper4Arise or anything like that?
Because of this my speaker also stopped working a few weeks ago
if you can get into download mode then get into download mode and leave phone, then download samsung smart switch for your pc (older version like 4.1.17022_20 from here http://www.filehorse.com/download-samsung-smart-switch/29268/ that allows phone based recovery), once installed open it, then click on more at top right, (do not update the software if you get a prompt) select emergency device recovery...., then click on right tab (device initialisation) and fill in your phone details etc., connect your phone (in download mode) and follow the process, maybe it works, you'll need to root and install TWRP again but thats no big issue.

I've tried this just now, and it still gives me the same result, it goes trough the process, but as soon as it has to reboot it doesn't boot anymore.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
