So there I was, using Cloudy 3.3 on my G2 international model (d802) when I thought to myself: Why wouldn't I change the ROM. I guess I got bored of it and while in the past year I tried almost EVERY ROM (at least every 5.1 lollipop ROM and these new marshmallow ROMs) I wanted something different this time. I remembered that Flyme OS system and wanted to give it a go. I found one here on xda site, I think it was Flyme 4.1 or 4.0 or something like that but I decided to go for a ,,newer" version of the system.
I found Flyme OS on this site: http://www.flyme.cn/firmwarelist-14.html
And as you can see the entire site is in Chinese but I managed somehow and downloaded it. I had TWRP 3.0 installed and I think I know the thing or two about flashing ROMs on this device. The whole installer is AROMA based and even though it was in Chinese I managed to flash the system. And that's when I knew I f****d up. After I installed it and it booted up, I figured that I'm not really into the whole Flyme interface and wanted to revert to stock. But I couldn't!
1. I no longer have download mode, when I stick USB cable and hold volume up it shows me an animation of ,,download mode'' but then in upper left corner appears a message saying ,,boot secure error'' or something like that and then it shows me a black screen.
2. I no longer have my TWRP recovery installed.
- I can't use 3rd party apps to restart my phone into recovery because this OS is NOT rooted! And I can't even root it because there's no method for it. I tried the default rooting method for MEIZU phones which include you logging in to your Flyme account and all of a sudden ,,root permissions'' option appears in your settings - DIDN'T HAPPEN. I also tried other different methods but to no avail. It just can't be rooted. - Even when I turn the phone off and try to do the hard reset thing with simultaneously holding power + volume down button - it won't show me the LG's default ,,factory reset'' screen which could potentially lead me into TWRP. It just boots normally!
So, the conclusion:
I flashed an unknown Flyme OS system for LG G2 from a Chinese site and it works decently good but when it installed - it turned my G2 completely to a MEIZU phone. I have no clue on how to revert it and PLEASE I would appreciate any help given. Before giving your opinions in the comments, do read every sentence I wrote above.
Thanks in advanced.

Did you tried going to recovery mode by completely shutting off your phone and then pressing volume down + power button simultaneously. If goes into recovery mode as you said you have no twrp installed. What does it shows and also what happens when you connect your phone to pc in recovery mode?.
P.S i recovered from a similar issue like you on my sprint g2

I tried going to recovery with my phone being completely shut down, however, it simply turns the phone on. No button combination gets me into recovery anymore. As if it simply vanished from my phone (the recovery, of course). It doesn't show the default ,,Factory data reset" option when I hold volume down + power button whilst turning the phone on. No options whatsoever. So I didn't even get the chance to connect it to the PC while in recovery, since there's no recovery installed on my phone.

Hey,
I 've been trying to search for a solution to this for a long time but unfortunately didn't find anything/
Long story short, my moto g4 plus is having issues with its screen backlight, the backlight goes off randomly, the backlight would turn off but the screen could be seen and operated under a bright source of light.
The problem does not exist when the device is in recovery mode or bootloader and the screen stays on all the time but only when the Operating system boots up, the backlight goes off, right after the boot animation and some times before the boot animation too.
I've tried several things to try to fix this but to no avail,
The operating system history is:
(Issue first arrived)Resurrection remix >> Factory Reset >> Ground Zero Rom- Validus (New rom didn't fix the issue) >> Factory reset >> Stock Nougat firmware
I can't figure if its a software or hardware problem, if it was a hardware problem then the backlight shouldnt come on the bootlogo, recovery and bootloader shouldn't have come up but it turns off only when the phone boots.
I would be glad if someone here could help me out with a solution.
Thanks

I'd send it to Motorola. You've flashed multiple ROMs and restored Stock N, to no avail.
Don't worry, Motorola will still take your phone even though you're technically out of warranty.

You sure, they'll repair it in?
The bootloader is unlocked and now the phone wouldn't turn on no matter what, it won't even go into the bootloader.
I also encountered similar problems, but i have no idea to solve it , is there any solution ?

It's worth a try. This definitely sounds like a hardware issue, and Motorola should honor the warranty regardless of bootloader status.

I get you, they should honor warranty if the hardware is defective but the employees at Indian service centers aren't helpful at all.
I won't even get recognized on a PC so I guess I'll just drop it off at the service center and hope for the best.
Thanks
Hey Guys,
I have a dead phone(kind of). All it displays is
"Have been in Factory Mode. long press power button and Normal boot"
And in very tiny font, there is a line saying
"=>Tool DL Image Load Fail!"
This stays for a few seconds then it turns off, and repeat, again the same this comes up on the screen.
What I have tried:
1) Flash the stock ROM using SP Flash Tools several times
2) Cleaned the power button from the inside a bit, because some thread said there might be a sticky button.
Flashing with SP Flash Tools shows that the flash is successful, but it didn't help.
EDIT: Now it displays something as "eFuse blow: Success". Damn!

Hey, Thank you for replying.
Have tried that method, its just the same thing, but now it is not displaying that tiny line.
Now it goes into the factory mode and shows some options in Chinese. And it stays there till i select something.
The last option, i know is "Reboot To Phone" (Via Google Translate).
When i select that option it goes back into the Factory mode again.

Tried to flash TWRP through SP, it returns an error:
ERROR: S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_IMAGE_SIGN_HEADER_NOT_FOUND(6045)
MSP ERROR CODE:0x00.
Make sure volume + button is not pressed.
During boot can you boot in to stock recovery,
press POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN until Lenovo logo appear, then continue press VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN
Thanks all. I somehow got it to work... and now my phone is all good.
As crazylife told, there was some hardware issue. Apparently, there was a tini-tiny bit of a circuit which, due to water allegedly, got short. I had it cleaned by some local phone shop.( He also claimed that the phone work anyway ,though). After that i flashed the stock rom, and it worked.
And btw, how do i mark the thread solved?
Hi, even I'm stuck with the same problem.

Hi, even I'm stuck with the same problem.
Even the lenovo service center guys raised their hands saying it's an hardware problem and I've to replace the entire PCB to slove the issue. Could you be more specific on how to resolve this issue? if possible could you please let me know at which place you got your mobile fixed? Thanks

I had a problem with the Motherboard due to water getting in, and apparently it caused a short-circuit near the power button module. Actually speaking, I was really dissatisfied with the kind of service the Lenovo guys give to its customers, because first they told me that they will clean, and claimed that the board must be changed. The only thing which needed to be done in my phone was to clean that part of the board with White Petrol(you can ask the local mobile shop guys, they will have it, but just be careful). That solved my problem. And thanks to few threads, i got it working.
P.S: I am from Hyderabad, so had it solved here in a local shop.
Hi, Thanks for your reply. Was able to come out of that situation after 3 days, but had left my mobile with the local service center for 2 days (At the time, when i took my mobile from service center, my mobile was not working, was informed that the mobile is dead) I thought of giving a last try and plugged in the charger on 3rd day it started working . My mobile had a new problem display was broken (from inside) and speakers were not working, when i asked that guy his reply was " how can i know, your mobile was dead, when u brought in hear, my job was to fix it, why will i break it?" though my mobile was back to normal I had to pay a huge price of display and speakers. Hope everyone got to know the take away from my story. Crazy world; lesson learnt.
The same is happening to me!
And my phone keeps vibrating, also I don't know how to select one of those Chinese options, can you please help me sir?

Hey!
My phone had some water damage issue, hence the loop. Opened the phone and cleaned it a bit. Yours might be different problem, try flashing stock firmware, or going into fastboot mode and flashing recovery. Currently don't have this phone so can't help that much.

Oh. Yes my phone too got wet in rain. I went to some shop and they helped me out. But thanks to you I realize that it was repairable and that too without loosing any data. Thanks so much for saving my thousands of ruppees that'd have been wasted to get a new phone. Also yes this model in general is pretty old so I can understand that most of the people don't use it anymore. Again thank you very much for saving all the stuff I had on this phone and the money. ??
hi guys,

You can select factory reset by pressing the volume button . Factory reset will come up. Select by pressing power button and press again to wipe.

you are not alone...?
Same issue on one I have my hands on. This could get interesting.
From fastboot can anything be pushed/flashed like a previous actually functional firmware? Is there other specific software to do so? Only got my hands on the defective non functional device today but I'm planning and scheming a fix if possible.
One thing is really interesting. Why only after this update???? Why not after update from 6 to 7 then 7 to 7.1 and after 7.1 to 8.0. I think Google or Huawei is cheating us and forcing us to buy Google pixel.
I also have this issue (I'm using a nexus 5x, but this thread is the closest to my issue I've found), but it came incrementally. First, I started getting reboots every 20m or so, while doing normal phone things (reading, mostly). Then it started getting into bootloops that were 2-3 boots long, and would then work normally for the 20m mentioned above. I tried a factory reset, but it just got worse, and now either reboots on the Google logo or during the Android animation. My fastboot menu only has the regular "Start" as green. The only other options are Restart Bootloader, in red, and Recovery mode, also in red. Power off is there, obviously, but that's it. It started happening yesterday, and worsened to its current point within only a few hours.
Well. I have just joined the club. What is going on with that?
Happened to me today and I was using the latest build of SuperXE 6P.
Guys! lol
1. Dev options in ROM is same old. Settings/about and tap build 10 times to see count down to developer. Back to settings. In there for OEM unlock
2. Factory reset can be done any number of ways.
a. In ROM. Settings/backup and reset/factory reset.
b. From anywhere, hold power+volume down until you see the bootloader. There are 2 possible screens in there. One of them has factory reset. Beware! From here it will likely wipe your sdcard!
c. From recovery. You can get there from bootloader. You can also flash an up to date recovery image from bootloader.
The rest of your recovery process should be provided by the ROM thread by which you will get your choice of ROM.
Make sure you have access to a PC with adb. You will likely need to flash a vendor image
My device is only recognized in fastboot mode. No ADB, no recovery. Tried to uninstall and manually install latest USB drivers, it didn't work. My Nexus is now just stucked in a bootloop. I even tried to flash factory images to no avail. Really don't know what to do...
FYI I have no screen in bootloader allowing me to factory reset: only Start/Reboot/Reboot bootloader/Barcodes, as others stated above.
Hi
RP2, GSI roms (I tried three: LOS 17, NitrogenOS, RevenageOS), arter97-kernel-r12, Magisk-v20.3
I am installing a GSI ROM, the system is working. after the third or more reboot, the phone is booted to a black black screen.
Wipe all data, phone booted.
doing something simple (install software from google play,restore data from old device via google restore)
restart
phone booting to blank black screen with sound. computer (USB) recognized the phone.
Tried with Magisk, withour Magisk, restored vendor.img from origin (I was deleted the two apks for BT).
clear data
phone booted
restore
blank again
where to start debug it ?
Same problem with me, I had my phone on phhusson treble ROM (android 10) then went back stock and hated it....tried to flash the phhusson treble ROM again and she boots but to a black screen, you can hear via sound it's up just the screen is black....let me know if ya finger anything out

Try Havoc and PE from these links. They are phhusson based and work with some bugs but at least you can boot up after the third time

If you want/need to restart if you do it via the power button then hitting restart, it will boot to a black screen. But if you hold the power and volume down till it reboots, it'll boot perfectly. Happens every time for me

Not if you let go when you see the screen turn off, then it's just a dirty restart I guess?
In my case, it only happens when you use the Encrypt password to start the device.
So I suggest skipping the encrypt part on startup setting and the problem should gone.
*Sorry for my bad English.
In my case, Don't use the "Secure start-up" thing when you set up your phone in Android 10.
Nor It will mess and cause a black screen on your device.
