Everything's just fine when the device turned on. It's also worked alright when I turned it off. But here's the problem. Everytime I plug in charger when my device turned off it's always booting into recovery mode. I know flashing with odin or simply factory-reset my device will fix all the trouble but I wonder if there's a way to simply fix the trouble without using such a big step and start all over again. Pardon my grammar. Any response will be appreciated

I just got this phone alittle over a month ago. Today at work, my phone randomly shut down and started continuously restarting. The phone will vibrate and boot the logo, then turn into a black screen, vibrate again, and restart. I had not modified my device at all. Just downloaded your typical apps like anyone else. I already tried taking out the battery and letting it sit and booting in recovery mode and wiping the cache and restoring to factory settings. I also tried to use odin to flash what i think is my firmware onto the device. I wasn't able to figure out the firmware of the device before I did it so i sort of guessed based on the model. Though all i did for this is download what i thought was the firmware, put it in odin3.4, entered download mode and plugged my device in and let it download. I didnt do any rooting or enable debugging/disable debugging before i used odin. Did I miss a step? Does anyone have any suggestions of something I else do. I am so confused on how this happened to my phone!
Hello all,
As fate would have it, the day of me getting my new G5, my G2 went in to a boot loop before I could transfer my data.
I'm desperate to get the data back if possible. Below are the details.
Phone went in to boot loop, then would not turn on. I have tried periodically to turn on the phone, but it will not boot. It will loop at the LG screen and occasionally the Sprint screen. It intermittently charges when connected to power. Today, I hooked up it up to a PC and powered on and got the Demigod screen. Loaded dload mode, but the drivers didn't install. On reboot I got the LG screen with a security error and now it won't power up again.
Any suggestions? Seems like it may be hardware related.

Doesn't TWRP have to been installed when rooting a device? This device is not rooted.

yes i assumed this was rooted and hada custom recovery.. sorry i do not know if theres something you could do..might as well say good bye to your data.. but wait and see if theres a way.. am not familiar with the demigod.
So basically this rom is awesome but it had only one problem. When I plugged my phone in the charger while it was turned off, it bootlooped until I restarted with the cable off. It was no big deal and nothing bad ever came out of it.
Yesterday my batter ran out while I was asleep and when I woke up it was already turned off. I, absentmindly, tried to turn it on, LG Logo, off again. Did it one more time, nothing happened, realized it's out of battery. Plugged in charger, try to turn it off/on, usual bootloop happens. Say ok and proceed with what I always did, phone gets past LG Logo, goes into SlimLP boot animation and for the first it has just stayed there. No restarts, just endless loading. Longest i Left it on to load was about 45 minutes. Never got back on.
Apart from that, I think that for some reason my recovery got uninstalled somehow, by itself, a few weeks ago. I only noticed this because before, when I wanted to get into recovery, I pressed the usual buttons and it went straight into TWRP. Now the same buttons take me to the "Factory reset screen". I know that everyone says to just go ahead and press power, but I am afraid, since I am not sure if TWRP is still functioning. This happened to me another time on the same phone, and when I confirmed the factory reset, it factory resetted.
My problem here is that I want to get my music and photos. I'm only able to enter that factory reset screen and download mode. Can I "flash" twrp safely from download mode? Should I use Flash Tool 2014 and Normal flash(which says it keeps the data) a stock g2 rom? Can I mount my phone to the computer in download mode to copy my files? I want the most risk-free approach.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, first If you can enter download mode I think you can flash kdz (Kitkat) file to stock using Flash Tool 2014. But I had this problem once and the keep data flashing didn't work (stucked at 50%), I ended up flashed it with other option (erased all data).
2. You can try the "Factory reset" nice and easy.
I think you can't see files on the device unless you enter Twrp.
It's wise to backup your phone on the computer montly or so, thank you.
I went ahead and nuked my download mode using the SRK tools. Then got access to fastboot, through which I booted to twrp and then I could move my files. All's fine, flashed my ROM again and it's going better than ever.
Tried to install a custom ROM on my old N4 via Toolkit but got a bootloop on the Nitrogen logo. Right after the screen the phone would turn off. So, i rolled back to stock rom, unrooted and everything but now it seems the problem its even worse: the boot doesnt go past the Google logo. When the phone is charging i can access the recovery and even boot into Android. Off the charge it looks like i cant do nothing other than go to fastboot. If i choose the recovery option the phone turn itself off. I tried to install other ROM via TWRP when charging, but right after 2 seconds after the process begins, the phone turns off.
I think it may be a battery problem, but i wanna make sure it is so i dont waste money.
Thanks

hi buddy, problem is also happend to me, unfortunatly its not a software issue , its a battery problem, and its only fix with changing battery or you could turn on airplane mode (to turn off radio and only in custom rom) and keep using the phone offline.
Hello friends, I have a similar problem with my nexus 4.
I can use the device well if it is connected to a USB or plug. (If the device isn't connected, this turns off). But I can use TWRP without problems (works without connect to a USB or plug), I can install ROMS until finish, but when I want to start the system, only stuck on Google Logo and the device turns off (I tried to start the device but just stuck in Google Logo and turns off again) But if it is connected to a USB or plug works well without problems.
I tried to install all STOCK roms too but only work well when the device is connected. I think that isn't a battery problem because I can use TWRP (without connect to a usb or plug) and install every rom.:crying:
Someone would like to help me. Thanks a lot.

i told just above your post,that is a battery problem and only fixes with changing battery, the reason you can use twrp is that the voltage needed for boot phone in recovery mode is less than for booting the whole system with apps and radio functions
As said in the title, it's in a permanent loop of trying to turn on, showing the unsafe bootloader warning, getting to the Samsung logo, and then shutting off and trying again, all on it's own. I tried first by using the usual, but it won't go into bootloader, nor recovery mode. When that failed, I let it keep going at it until the battery was empty, and tried then. It still started the loop, but then it ended because it didn't have enough battery to continue and shut off. After that, I tried connecting it to the computer, but the moment I got the USB in, the phone tried to turn on, and started the loop, again. Even just connecting it to the charger, it tried getting on again.
Can you get into download mode? If so, just use ODIN to reflash the stock firmware. That should fix it.

Yeah, after a long while of trying I got it into download mode, then it was easy to flash. Thanks
