Is there a way to reload the factory recovery partition? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys, just wondering if there is a way to reload the factory recovery partition?
I am getting a demigod error and cannot do anything in recovery once I try to restart into it, but the phone when restarted works fine with the factory image.
I tried to load a custom rom and done screwed up
I did make a recovery backup, but I am pretty sure I screwed it as I was trying to copy recovery.img to the phone during some un-bricking troubleshooting.
Thanks

Okay guys, I know I should be doing my own research but I'm stuck.
I found this youtube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQVTc2m6U-I
I've downloaded all of the LG G2 D801 T-Mobile files:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D801BK/Stock_Firmware/20a_partitions
I am able to get ADB to recognize my device and I am able to 'send' commands via fastboot BUT my phone doesn't seem to accept them.
I've tried via command line and using SRK tool:
Here is what happens when I try to run the fastboot commands in fastboot mode (UP button + USB plugin)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here is what I get when I try to run SRK Tool:
So as you can see from the output, the phone is detected and it seems like the files are in the process of being 'sent' but nothing actually installs.
When I was doing it in command prompt, I let it sit for a few minutes for a few commands and they just sat there at writing.
On the phone itself, this is what it states at this moment:
[500] fastboot mode started
[500]--reset--
[500]--portchange--
[500]--reset--
[500]--portchange--
[500] fastboot: processing commands
[500]fastboot: getvar: partition-type:laf
[500]fastboot: getvar:max-download-size
[500]fastboot: download:00e00000
[500]fastboot: flash:laf
That's all I get on the phone, nothing changes. It just sits there idle.
I am unsure what to do and was wondering if anybody knows how I can fix this?

So I seem to be having some kind of issue with the phone not accepting fastboot commands and/or my computer is not recognizing fastboot.
I did install the ADB/Fastboot installer. I have Java and SDK installed.
When I try to run ADB devices, it identifies the device.
When I try to run fastboot devices, all I get is:
command prompt> fastboot devices
? fastboot
That's all.

Anyone? I am having the same exact problem and have not found a fix yet.

Look at my last reply here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/g2-fastboot-mode-t3427770 it may work

[Q] [HTC][HERO][GSM][ISSUE]How to flash?

Hi Guys,
i have a very specific issue.
Its HTC hero which been upluged before finishing official upgrade to froyo.
So, where is the problem?
Hero cant boot, all the time just stay stucked on "HERO" boot animation. The problem is, that it was upgrade from stock Eclair to stock Froyo. They didn't have any root, or recovery (CWM, RA, nandroid)...
The phone can be started in hbot, fastboot, stock recovery.
HBOT->
I've found this > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575448 < but i think its need a function hero to set up setup.
So there is no way i think
Fastboot->
I've try to flash recovery with AR, CWM via
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
but only get this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Stock recovery->
I've also try to flash via "apply update.zip from SD card" from this
http://www.modaco.com/topic/291942-22jan-stock-roms-radios-in-updatezip-format-for-gsm-hero/
every single file crashed "E:Verification failed!"
I'm such a big noob, but is there any way which i didn't try? Something like flash CWK recovery mode via update.zip? Every idea can help.
Thanks
Do you have your hero drivers set up on your PC?
Also, when flashing recovery.img using fastboot, please rename your clockworkmod.recovery.blablabla.img in recovery.img and then try to flash again.
as i thought so
prntscr.com/aun85 <its a link, but i'm newbie here, so i have a constraints
but its exactly the same as the file was named clockwokrmod.....img
Driver should be ok (get from android-cellphones com)
Q: how can i access the adb? In device manager a use this driver. But in cmd "adb devices" cannot find my hero. But idk if it helpfull.
Sorry for my english
When your phone is plugged in your windows PC (in hboot mode), check that the driver installed is called My HTC (in device manager), then download the latest RUU under HTC Hero support site (not the 2.1 one) and run the program, it will erase everything, but if it is successful it will install the 1.5 system to your phone, and you can start over
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Problem was solved via hboot mode. Thx guys

Get Fastboot mode on Indian Model

Hey Everyone!
Its not new that there is quite some chaos regarding the fastboot mode on our device. Though some could access it, others could not. All that would happen when I tried to reboot into bootloader was that it would get stuck on the boot logo. Many said that the bootlogo itself was the fastboot mode. However lsusb on my linux term would not recognize anything attached. So I was quite sure there was some issue. Recently when I was having a chat with Nori, I could confirm that the same. It so happens that when he boots into fastboot mode, there appeared a tiny text at the left bottom of the screen would appear saying the device was in fastboot mode.
A little bit of research and experimentation, I figured out that there was an issue in the appsboot image on the Indian version. So, I flashed the Taiwan version of the aboot on my device and VOILA! I had fastboot mode! Here is how you can get it.
BEFORE I GO ANY FURTHER, I MUST WARN YOU THAT THIS IS HIGHLY RISKY IF DONE WRONG! THERE IS A RISK OF HARD BRICKING YOUR DEVICE! AND I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATSOEVER THAT HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE.
1) Head over to http://140.115.126.139:808/gplus_e7/E7_0301_v5832_IMG/ or here
2) Download the aboot.img and save it to the root of your sdcard.
3) Open up a terminal emulator or adb shell and type in the following code.
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/aboot.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot
4) Thats it.. Now reboot into bootloader using any rebooter or using adb and you should see something like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(sorry for all the dust.. should have viped it I guess.. well, atleast shows how good the camera is..)
Good Luck!!

Lost recovery but Rom OK?

I seemed to have lost my recovery but my phone is otherwise working.
I went from CM13 with TWRP, downloaded OS3 from the official oneplus web download as well as the "optional recovery" on the same page.
I wiped data/system/dalvik/cache and flashed the OS 3 zip.
I then flashed the stock recovery img.
Wiped again.
Rebooted to recovery from TWRP and got stuck with the oneplus logo. Completely non-responsive.
Fearing I had softbricked the phone, I started with ADB, got the Qualcom HUB listing under Device Manager and was about to start the process of updating Qualcom Drivers and running the recovery tool (having not been able to get fastboot to see the device) when a miracle happened and the phone started booting up on its own. After running setup, I rebooted, no problem.
I have since been able to use fastboot oem lock and confirmed the phone is locked (I wanted to get back to stock).
Everything is working fine EXCEPT I don't seem to have any Recovery at all. If I use the Developer Option for Advanced Recovery and boot into recovery, I get the oneplus logo. If I use Vol Down and Power I get the oneplus logo.
I think I have lost my recovery but recognise that I am out of my depth and don't want to stuff up the second chance I was given by trying to flash a recovery (I want stock receovery so I can get OTAs in the future). BTW, I read extensively before I tried this, looking at a number of different sites and followed instructions to the letter (or at least I thought so!).
Could someone who knows what to do please help to get my recovery back? It would be very much appreciated.
Edit: I managed to fix it. You have to use the Qualcomm tool and go back to OS2.2 and then update to OS3. See the link below and follow Method 1, doing everything exactly as set out.

LG G2 D802 - Fastboot mode commands not working

Hi All,
This is my first thread i hope i will get help to solve my problem,
The Phone Model : LG G2 D802 , Stock and not rooted
The Problem : I tried to upgrade its firmware using LG Flash Tool 2014, it has 4.2.2 firmware and i tried to install 5.0.2 Lollipop, but maybe the firmware file is not compatible with the device to its Bricked!
For now the phone is booting into fastboot mode and the computer can detect it, but the problem that i can't ran any command to flash again the 'laf.img' file, tried 'erase' and 'flash' and a lot of command without success.
Here is what i get when trying to flash the laf.img file, i can't post a link because i am a new user :
" target reported max download size of 1862270976 bytes "
" sending 'laf' (15872 KB) ... "
" OKAY [ 0.550s ] "
"writing 'laf" ..."
And it stuck on writing laf ):

Tried to install new driver but still the same. What you Suggest ?!
Thanks a lot !!
How the heck did you try to install Lollipop from Jellybean..
Use LG FlashTool and go back to Jellybean. Remember you need to flash the recovery first by using a specific root method which gets around the bootloader verifying the image - or something along those lines.

Unable to Flash Orange Fox Recovery to Asus XOOTD!

I have been trying to flash the Orange Fox Recovery in my Asus X00TD but not able to succeed. I have unlocked my bootloader using the official Unlock tool.
My adb and fastboot drivers are on the latest update. My device is showing up on the fastboot devices command but when I try to flash the recovery, it doesn't return any success message neither any error message.. I had tried with multiple usb ports and usb cables but no success. Please check the attached image for more info. Any help is appreciated.

Solution(Edited):
I found the solution but its a weird one . I don't know how it works but it worked for me . So you have to execute this before connecting the device:
Code:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
< waiting for device >
and after manually entering into Fastboot mode, connect the device via USB and it will flash the custom recovery.

I have tried with three different PCs USB 2.0 and 3.0 but nothing seems to work. Also about the drivers, my device is showing up on the Device Manager correctly so I think I have the correct drivers.
