Hi all,
I screwed up and bricked my G2 korean version (F320k). Please have a look, I have no idea what I still can do... Any help is appreciated!
What happened:
I did an OTA with root and TWRP 2.7.0.0
The phone was then in bootloop, but I still had my recovery.
I flashed F320K_20A.zip, which has broken the recovery...
Before rebooting, I decided to try something else: I flashed BlissPop-v2.3-f320 (which is a Lollipop ROM based on CM12).
I rebooted the phone, and now I have a bootloop, and no download mode, no fastboot mode, and no recovery.
Recovery: (Press vol-up and power until Korean characters appear) would just restart the phone.
Download Mode: (Connect the phone to the computer while pressing vol-up) shows an android lying on the ground, its body open, showing a red triangular warning sign.
Fastboot: no idea how I can actively go into that.
What can I still do to rescue my phone? Thank you!

I am rooted with custom recovery, stuck on logo screen. I Can get to DL mode, but not recovery to restore my backup. usb debugging is enabled on the device, but its the Verizon version so it needs "Ethernet" connectivity to communicate via adb. so as of now its not communicating. anyway to send reboot recovery command so I can back up? or am I going to have to flash all the way back to stock through KDZ? and if I do that, do I lose root, and recovery, having to start all over?
What do you mean you can't get to recovery?

Lol. I mean i when I hold volume down and power key sequence it still just boots to lg logo and loops. I can not boot into twrp. Only download mode. What partition is recovery located? I am starting to wonder if I wiped it?

Aaand are you sure you released and pressed the keys again when the lg-logo came up? Also you should be able to get to the white lg reset-screen even if you have empty recovery partition.

Yes, I was. But I guess my timing was bad. I eventually got in, and recovered. Thanks for responding
I am rooted and my attempt to install TWRP was unsuccessful, the ADB kept failing to keep a connection with the phone.
I want to verify that I can install the ZVA update without an issue. When I try to enter recovery mode it wont work. Tried holding the vol down and power wait for LG logo, release and hold power button until it enters recovery but it just powers down again. Using a different method I did get it into a recovery mode with the android guy and some really small writing with options in the upper left corner. IT says "Android System Recovery <3e>" Is this the factory recovery mode? How can I tell if I have the wrong recovery mode(s)?

3e is stock recovery so I'd say you're good to flash.

Success!
My phone won't boot after installing the latest DU custom rom. I followed the steps here https://plus.google.com/+AlexCruz/posts/JJ5d9v6DArW - rooted and installed latest clockwork mod recovery, did a backup, and wiped everything, then installed the custom rom. But now it is stucked at the Dirty Unicorns boot screen.. Please help.
Some extra info: I was on 4.2.2 (802 international) before the flash
Edit: i can't even get to recovery now, by holding power and volume down buttons at LG logo. Is my phone dead?

Are you getting to the factory hard reset prompt? You have to go through that to get back into the recovery. Then you can just restore from Backup.

--This is copied and paste from another thread--
"You should be able to get to CWM recovery by using the hardware button (power and volume down held down, flash LG logo for a second, and then shuts off--only then you can turn it back on by holding power and volume down together until LG logo pops on, then let go of both buttons quickly, hold down both power and volume down again, and then quickly let go of the volume down button: a white factory reset screen should pop up and then you can push power button alone twice to enter CWM recovery).
If above does not work, you may need to KDZ back to stock using download mode (google LG G2 download mode) and USB cable (the one that comes with the phone as some USB cable won't work as they're charge only cable). You'll have to reroot with IOROOT25 and start over again."

I have no idea what fastboot or download mode is but your phone should be soft-bricked? If you can get into recovery or the factory reset screen you should be safe.
I wasn't able to get into the recovery at first but then I kept trying and trying and managed to get in by luck. Lol. I then wiped everything including Dalvik cache in Advanced and rebooted and was relieved to find it booted into Dirty Unicorns. I guess i was lucky.
lost my twrp after installing bootloader changer and then installing kk bootloader(for cloudy 3.3). (accidently marked install twrp inside the bootloader installation after already having the latest twrp installed)
phone restarts right after logo appears and seems to be unable to boot at all.
no download mode. no recovery. not even hardware factory reset is accessible.
im really lost here ! read all xda posts nothing works because i cant connect to
the phone from any pc. please help! i cant flash anything because i have no adb or any connection from the phone to the pc.
wont show up in device manager in any way(with the latest drivers installed) and wont show up on linux on /dev/sd*.
before the bootloader i had access to twrp and showed up just fine on my win 7.
problem solved!
was able to enter recovery mode by pressing pwr + vol-up release when logo appears and press vol-up + vol-down.
Hey guys I was trying to flash MIUI 8 on my a6000 lenovo. Bear with me because I'm new to this so I might have screwed up.
Rooted and installed TWRP perfectly. Phone was running kitkat.
I then, through TWRP tried to flash MIUI 8 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-a6000/development/rom-miui-7-lenovo-a6000-a6000-t3355692
After first swiping right to install the zip, i got an "error executing binary in zip" error. Wiped dalvik,etc. again and tried again and then I got a MD5 file not found "warning". It was not in red letters and after that message there was no progress bar or anything and the phone just stopped responding. I assumed it wasn't working and few minutes later took the battery out. After trying to boot again it would give me the "mi.com" boot screen (not the default lenovo I used to get) and won't boot into neither recovery nor normal mode. (for recovery boot I'm trying holding both volume buttons and the power button at the same time. perhaps that is different now?)
I'm guessing the flashing was going on and i interrupted it. How can I fix this?
Update: It boots into MIUI now however pretty much nothing works as expected. It wont even go into settings. Recovery still seems botched and i cant boot into it.
TLDR: Recovery broken cant boot into it. Can boot into MIUI with very limited capabilities. Cannot select USB debugging and "adb devices" won't find the phone. What can I do?
Alright nevermind guys I managed to fix it. for anyone wondering or having the same issue, i tried many things but what I think worked is this:
Turnt on my phone in fastboot mode (hold volume - and power button) , connected it to the computer and used command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" to flash the old TWRP i had on my computer. After that I managed to boot my phone in recovery mode and reflash the rom properly. The weird thing is, my phone could not be recognized by the computer and "adb devices" gave me nothing back so I thought using any fastboot command wouldn't work. Oddly, it did and it flashed TWRP back into my phone.
