mine got stuck at 90% so i read comments an says that you should let it be for like 10 min. then just unplug, turn off phone then on, and check if it got rooted, if not try a second time, mine did after second attempt, and still got stuck at 90% so when i unplgged , and turned off and then on, it was rooted.
so then to install revory i used google play lolipop autorec for d800 downloaded installed, and ten i run the autorec, after a minute because it back ups your recovery, then it tells you you are ok to flash, you click flash and you are done and have twrp.. but next you should install blastagator recovery from the recovery you got on playtore and the you are set to flash roms, depending on what they required. like bootstacks ect.

Long story short (I can go into more detail if needed):
Had a stock rooted rom with a zv8 radio/modem on sprint. I successfully flashed the Optimus 2.2 rom with the new ZVA (Sprint Spark) modem and everything was fine and dandy and working perfectly for a few hours. Then i was a dummy and restored apps from my previous roms using mybackup and one of those apps was the xposed installer with a few different modules.
Phone froze, rebooted and would no longer attatch to a network. No signal, just a red x. No radios work, not even wifi or bluetooth. If the screen goes blank the phone will freeze and bootcycle. Or if it is on for more then a minute, it will freeze and turn off and get stuck in a bootloop.
Recovery worked. I tried everything. Flashing other roms, with the appropriate radios of course, and restoring my backup with the appropriate radio. Nothing works, and ive had the same issue with each and every rom and radio.
I finally whipped out lgflashtool and returned to stock unrooted to no avail. Same issue, except now my touchscreen is not responsive, which means no adb to reroot and the pc doesn't recognize the phone while booted. Now im aware of a method using Ubuntu to get a custom recovery on these when all else fails, but is it worth my time if there is no fixing my issue?
Also, how much can you do with the lgflashtool? Can i flash different radios or root using it?
Worst case scenario i will take my phone to sprint and get a warranty replacement. The only issue with that is, while the rootchecker in download mode shows "unrooted" , the boot animation on the stock .tot image is an lg one, not the Sprint logo one and i feel like the service person would catch on. Any idea on how to change that as well?
Thanks in advance guys! Im kind of freaking out that im running out of options.

I've done this. But I found one from a new source and I'll try it again. Would I need to flash the radio again? Thank Thank you for the help.
Hello, I recently got a d803 and decided to root it which went well, but after I rooted it I installed TWRP custom recovery and then things started going downhill. I'm not sure what exactly happened after that but I rebooted and i kept getting an loop of ui crashes and system crashes so I restarted in recovery mode and tried doing a factory reset. After the reset the problem stayed with everything crashing as soon as I boot, so I tried another factory reset. After the next factory reset I have been getting stuck at the LG Boot Screen. How can I fix this and go back completely to stock?
Please and thank you!!
You can try this to go back to stock.

Next time use Autorec to install twrp. And make sure to install autorec thats specific to your model. Else u will soft brick your phone.

I did use autorec :/ for d803
Tried rooting installing custom firmware again and same thing again, system ui crash and on boot...
I think it is actually from editing build.prop.
I am having the wifi problem that after i reboot my phone it forgets the wifi instead of automatically connecting it and I found a post that says to do this:
"Try opening up your build.prop file and editing the following: wifi.lge.patch. Set it to false. This worked on my Bell D803.
Needless to say, you need to be rooted to do this."

Is there any other fix for the wifi issue?
Ok, so when I got my LG G2 the first thing that I noticed was the notification drop down menu and I really didn't like it as I prefer the stock android one much more. So I decided that i was going to root it, install TWRP and then install CM12. None of these went too well but defiantly the last one went the worst. I used the one click LG root application for pc to root it, I was a bit scared of this but it went alright. Then I tried to install a custom recovery and figured that I would use rom manager to install CWM recovery but for some reason after that it just booted into stock android recovery. After getting annoyed by this I looked for another app and settled for AutoRec to install TWRP and it worked fine. I booted into it all ok and I was happy. So I charged it up to 90% as some people say you need at least 80% to install a rom. I downloaded the latest CM12 nightly from their website and then the Google apps and saved them into a folder I named cm12files. I booted into recovery and did a ?Nandroid? backup (I think) and saved those files to both my phone and now onto my laptop. I wiped Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache. Then clicked install and selected my cm12 download. Then it came up with 'e:error executing updater binary in zip' and said that the install Failed. I googled the error and some post said that I should reboot it or something and as the retard I am I did that and as I have wiped it there is no android so it just showed this (tinyurl link: o2sylpp (if you dont want to click it it is just the lg boot logo)) then this (tinyurl link: nsduxck (if you dont want to click it it is just the lg logo with a message saying security error)) and keeps doing it over and over again (they are not pictures of my phone but they are exactly what my phone shows. Is there anything that I could do? I don't really mind if I get the LG android back.
Answer
Oh I fixed it. When I plug the phone in and then unplug it, the phone turns off and when it was off I held down the volume down and power until the lg logo popped up. I then just for half a second let go and pressed them both down again, a reset screen should come up but it didn't work so I just selected NO and it booted me into TWRP. From here I selected restore, chose by nandroid backup and it all worked!!!
Hello. I had gotten this Note 4 phone which had a custom recovery installed on it but the rom seemed to be official, on 5.1
The first thing I did was go to samfirmware and flash a 6.0.1 rom, it went fine, phone was working properly. Then I got greedy and wanted to test a Note 7 ported rom. Flashed TWRP recovery and from within I flashed RamROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-sm-n910g-ramrom-t3400349 , I downloaded the one from post#2 , the N910F one that my phone is and after it flashed to ROM it simply stopped working. My phone no longer booted, was booting me directly into Download mode with emmc read error. I kept trying to flash the stock rom which I previously flashed and it would fail.
Afterwords I used Smart Switch to reinitialize the phone, writing my phones S/N and that failed as well but at least that made my phone boot into a different recovery where it said to connect to Kies. Once again I used Smart Switch and this time it was successful 100%. My phone even booted into the OS and was working, however, while using it, after 10 minutes the phone restarted into Download mode with emmc read error.
So all in all the phone is functional but it starts to lag and restart. Now I'm kinda stuck again since I've tried to flash the firmware I got from Samfirmware through Odin, it succeded but it just doesn't boot, it goes to Recovery, tries to apply an update and I get an error.
Is there anything I can do? I can't believe the emmc could've broken just from trying to flash that custom rom, especially that afterwards I was even able to boot into the phone.
Thanks for reading and I appreciate the help.

read this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/help/note-4-issues-t3453048
there are links to more threads related to your issue.
Short version though:
it is dying. install wake lock application, add it to start up and set settings to #4.
accept the fact that your phone will eat the battery faster and one day WILL die completely
Thanks for your response. Regarding the Wake lock application, I'm starting to look into it, I asume I'll have to be rooted. I'll try to recover it again using Smart Switch and then I can only hope I can install TWRP and still have it functional.
Previously when I was able to get it working with Smart Switch, entering the recovery messed everything up. It said it was applying an update and that got stuck.

no need to be rooted, just download, install and set it to autostart
I'll try it if I somehow manage to get the phone working again, Smart Switch just fails now midway through.

Is this the app you're talking about? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.wl&hl=en
What exactly does it do?
I managed to restore it eventually with Smart Switch, it took quite a few tries, then I switched to my Macbook when I saw the app was available on it too and the 3rd try succeded. I only did it because I saw the 2nd try had the % much higher than the first.

yes, that is the app.
i've read it does not allow your phone to go to sleep mode.
drains the battery faster, but this is the only way to keep note 4 working without swapping its motherboard...
I have a question, my gf recently bought a note 4 and we may swap our phones and if we do, i'll flash CM and tinker with it because i find this phone very interesting, just a question, does this bug affect the N910C (exynos) model? Do i have something to worry about? Because the phone is warrianty protected and if it's the case, i don't want to break it. I hope someone will shed some light on this
So basically, few months ago i tried to root the phone, get new recovery and different rom. If I remember correctly I got stuck trying to get custom recovery to work, because everytime I restarted phone it would be replaced by the stock one. So I left the phone as it was, and disabled the TWRP app on it. Problem was, I could not update phone. Today I tried to completely revert to stock.
I flashed stock recovery but when I tried to install update from the phone storage, it did not even give me option to select a file.
I tried to update the recovery to newer one which gave me the option to select a file, but the installation got canceled after few seconds, putting me back on the file selection screen in recovery.
I tried to instal TWRP but I can't even boot into it at all because the phone is just stuck with blackscreen and lightblue led light.
I tried to ADB sideload the newest stock rom that I downloaded from OP5 site but this one went to around 50% and then crashed as well.
I also tried to do the update using the Settings>System update > Local Upgrade but this one also fails once it gets into recovery.
I tried wiping cache/reset system settings or wiping every data on the phone before any update but none of it seems to help and everytime I restart the phone afterwards the TWRP app is still there needing an update.
I tried to just lock the bootloader but I got the "Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and will not boot" message followed by link to google support. I assume that is because of the TWRP app that is on the phone but I can't get rid of it no matter what I try. I tried searching for people having simillar problems but I couldn't find anything that would help me.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
You can go with the last resort and use the Unbrick tool.
