LG G2 wont boot after installing autorec - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

first i wanna say that this is my first time trying this and after a lot of research i thought i knew what i was getting into but now i feel completely lost. earlier today I rooted my phone using one click root then installed twrp using auto rec. auto rec seemed to work fine and i clicked open in recovery just to see if it worked. twrp opened no problem but when i went to boot the system back up i started getting security error messages under the LG logo. i tried getting it to boot again after formatting and now its just stuck on the LG logo and not doing anything at all. im almost positive i have a d800 version and pretty sure that i used the right autorec file. i was running 5.0.2 instead of kit kat so not sure if that had something to do with it. please help me out anyway you can, i really need to get my phone working again for work and not sure what to do. i tried searching for an answer but had trouble figuring out what to do.

Yes definetely it has something to do with it. Because autorec uses kitkat kernel. You just have to flash lollipop kernel and you're good to go.

Flash stock firmware with KDZ (Lg Flash Tool) there are a lot of tutorials here on xda.
Good luck.

I'm in the middle of the TOT method right now to get it back to stock firmware, seems to be working. so now if i want to start over and root/get twrp on my phone any suggestions on the best method? i've read a lot of different ways to do it and not quite sure what would be best. sorry if this seems like an easy find, i just dont want to run into this mess again ha.

[Q] (URGENT) LG G2 VS980 soft brick (No ROM or Recovery, only download mode)

I have VS980, with some version of PA 4. I hadnt updated it in a while so i downloaded the latest zip and tried to flash it with twrp. (i dont remember the exact version, but not 2.7) For some reason i suppose twrp didnt like to play nice with 4.4.3 and failed to something about updating binaries. I'm not sure what it was, doesnt really matter now though. That sorta messed up the rom enough so that it would never boot. it would get to the boot animation, but no further without intervention. So of course i was like "i gotta update my recovery!!" but alas i tried to flash it using adb and now twrp wont work, it only comes to a black screen. So i have been able to find no way to get into fastboot in lg g2 and i cant adb while in recovery and i have no ROM to work with. All i have is download mode which has (according to me) rendered my phone useless. I have been scouring the internet for hours trying to fix this with Download mode, perhaps with odin, but it's only for samsung devices i think. I have exhausted my mind and options and I am completely dumbfounded. If someone could shed some light on this it would be awesome. Before i take it to verizon to play stupid haha. All help is appreciated. I am a semi noob when it comes to this stuff, or i suppose really nooby.
I have been personally going through a lot lately and i cant handle this right now and i feel really bad but i really need help. all help is appreciated.
If you truly can't get to recovery use the lg flash tool to get back to stock in download mode. But I would keep trying to get recovery with the hardware buttons sequence. I was where you were with a black screen and was about to lg flashtool my phone but someone advised me to keep trying recovery and they were right. Its tricky to get it right and each phone is a little different.

Thank you Thank you Thank you sooo much. You saved my vs980. I had been trying to wipe it but the drivers never worked. I took your advice and tried the hardware buttons sequence on your advice and after 4 weeks of trying everything my phone is finally back. A very merry Christmas to me. Thanks again!

[Q] Bricked my G2 and really need help please.

Hello everyone I need some help with my G2 its the rogers D803, First off I'm kinda a noob when it comes to flashing roms, this is my third G2 I've owned, i bought it off kijiji and its been nothing but trouble, my LTE wouldn't work and I couldn't update it to 4.4, The ota wouldn't work cause the device was not resisted. I tried to update with the LG support tool, when i would connect the device it would say update found then all of a sudden it would say your device is up to date. So i decided I would root it and flash a custom rom. I used TWRP a flashed Mahdi Rom and it worked great. Now here is where I messed up, I decided to try another rom, went into recovery and did my wipe but i accidentally wiped the system along with all the roms and zips I had on the internal storage. now its stuck i n a boot loop, I'm still able to get into twrp and also can get into download mode. my problem is I'm unable to mount the device to get my roms or even my backup folder back onto the device. when i plug the phone in i cant get the drivers to install , ive tried using ADB but my device doesn't show up on there. it does show up on the lg support tool when i put it into download mode. If anyone can help me out it would be much much appreciated. sorry for the wall of text but I'm trying to give as much details as possible.

No download mode no recovery mode

So it all started today when I tried to flash Cloudy G3, it didn't work, it soft bricked I restored backup, all good. After this, my phone started acting weird by powering up again after I powered it off, not opening Quick Remote and saying SIM is not ready. So I decided to give Clopudy G3 a try once more but I needed TWRP, I installed the TWRP i needed but I got error status 7 so I used flashify which was recommended to me. Well I flashed TWRP using flashify and, now when I try to get into recovery mode it enters fastboot mode and stays there. I figure the solution to this is going back to stock, and I found that the best method is from a dude called Hyleton in XDA But that falishify thing left me without a download mode! No recovery, no download... is there even a fix for this?. Now my phone is the international version (D802) but this guy has trillions of firmaware for lots of different D802s and I don't know which one to download and use! I downloaded the one in the folder that says "D802 tot" and selected the 32GB one. Can somebode PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELP ME, my knowledge on rooting is pretty basic, and a lot of the things in that thread, like for example the word "TOT" I don't understand! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476&highlight=d802
Now can somebody please explain this guide to me? I am wanting to do the second method (the TOT method). I would really appreciate this, REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
well
I wont be much help, but maybe i can simplify for people who come accross this thread. Ive read it a few times and im quite confused.
You said you flashed cloudyG3, had problems, then went back to stock.
What recovery did you use to backup, restore, and flash cloudy g3?
No i want to flash stock, after trying to flash Cloudy G3 I used flashify to flash TWRP and it went nuts and and now my phone is working strangely. I'm currently trying to go back to stock in the hope that it'll fix my problems and I'm using Hyleton's guide, as I have no download mode I'm gonna use a .kdz file but in his guide there's lots of KDZ files and I don't know which one to use! Any idea on that? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 here's the thread and if you look at the stock firmware files you'll see there's tonnes of .kdz for the D802, could you help me find the correct one for my phone? My phone is simply D802, no other letters like the ones in that list have (which confuses me as to which file I have to use to flash stock) and I bought in the US, but I live in Argentina....

Possible G2 brick? Please help me

Hello all,
Today I read a lot of posts here about rooting my phone because I was done with the stock UI.
I went for it and now I think I made a mistake, I would like your help. I read some similair posts, but I cant find a true solution for my problem.
My goal is to run CM 11, I have a stock LG 802 config with 4.2.2.
My steps were as followed:
- I used towelroot v3 wich was succesful
- I installed and ran D802 autorec (wich i guess was a bad idea). I got to recovery mode and I wanted to back up first.
- I made a back up of boot and system
- After the back up, I had to reboot
- NOW its stuck in a boot sequence to nothing. Just a light green and blue. I get the logo and I can get in the stock recovery it seems. Should I reset to factory settings?? Is that data still present?
I hope I can go from there, but after my major fail Im afraid to try it.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Update
I can get into download mode and LG Support Tool finds a phone, but the specs do not match and the update states that there is not any update available, wich there is.
When I get into recovery mode I can get into TWRP and I should be able to continu the process with flashing and wiping. The CM mod and Gapps are already on the internal memory. But I am really afraid.
For the record I did not flash or wipe anything yet, except for running Autorec and rebooting after prompt.
The real question for me is (I guess), is Autorec really unsupported with 4.2.2?
I would like to go on with the process, but I also would like to go back stock if needed in the future (hence the recovery back up I made with TWRP before the bootloop.)
Thanks again for any help what so ever

D802+JDI panel. how do i install jdi kernel when i cant even see the recovery?

Hello
Im just recently bought this device from a friend so i could ditch my broken Galaxy S2. I just need a good looking phone that does the job without lag and is unrestricted in terms of access which means, i want to be able to install custom roms. Oh and screen size is also important to me.
I however am NOT new to the android modding community and ive created a couple of things myself, but for every new phone im forced to relearn almost everything. Aaand boy did this phone land me in a very awkward situation that 6 hours of pure googling, experimenting with different firmwares etc, couldn't fix.
I learned the hard way that i have a JDI display and that its less common than the other one. I followed some simple guide where i was on 4.4.2 already and basically rooted it with ioroot. Now the only method ive found so far to install a recovery on a stock 4.4.2 lg g2 (d802) 32gb edition is by using a certain application called autorec.
I did try it. It seemed to work. No error. However, to my suprise i found out i had a screen that was completely covered in white/green/blue lines. By how the procedure was supposed to go, the app was supposed to boot me to twrp recovery after the install. And im guessing it did because i could feel the vibrations of the different buttons as i tapped the screen on different places. But i couldnt see what i was doing.
I researched into it and found out about the whole jdi thing. Found a Europe Open D80230b.kdz firmware and flashed it but just blindly booting the phone into download mode tho it was still covered in lines and couldnt see a thing. Once it was done, the phone booted and the LG logo was visible and the lines started to decay and slowly dissapeared. after about an hour, they were totally gone.
Now to the main issue im having and the question i have for you if can help me.
How do i go about installing a recovery that works (that i can actually see) so that i may access the menu in order to install this ldi kernel zip? Ive tried installing a recovery with the one click root + recovery script by somboons.
It gets stuck on this part "author : blog.lvu.kr
SPECIAL COMMAND : ENTER,LEAVE
#"
I basically CANT install a recovery on 5.0.2 with the one click script because it gets stuck. Cant root it either with SRKTools. I CANT install recovery on 4.4.2 with Autorec because my phone gets covered in white lines and i cant see what im doing. I tried installing a certain jellybean firmware to go from there. Using the open europe d802 jellybean firmware wasnt possible because the flash tool kept giving me disconnection errors. So i tried installing a open polish d802 firmware. got white lines so that is a no go too. One thing that i suprisingly can do. I can root it using the LG one click root method 1.3. The 1.2 script cmd version doesnt work. It gets stuck on the special command # part, however the graphical interface version roots without any problems.
ive found the recovery im gonna use which is supposedly nicer to jdi screen that, according to the creator, is supposed to generate less heat on the jdi screen. however i dont know how im supposed to install it. For now im gonna use the 5.0.2 open europe d80230b firmware til i find a solution. All im trying to accomplish here is to successfully install CloudyG2 3.3. And open the doors for a potential cm13 install.
Finally reached recovery by using this app.

Read description on whats required if you intend to try it yourself. It requires root and some SuperSU option unchecked. Worked perfectly on my LG G2(D802) with JDI display that ran 5.0.2 lollipop stock firmware 30d. It will flash recovery successfully but then i had to manually press the button inside the app for it to boot me to the recovery. its the newest twrp 3.0 recovery. Now im happily running CloudyG2 3.3
