Hello I've LG G2 D802 32gb edition, it's stock and rooted(without recovery).
I was using this app called "Disable service By WangQi, I re-enabled all Bluetooth services that I had disable earlier, rebooted the phone and it has struck on infinite restart mode ever since.
I barely get time to enter my password and it restarts 2 secs later. It restarts even in safe mode.
How do I backup all user data(photo ,videos, etc) ?
Can I temporarily flash custom recovery and save all my user data via USB MASS STORAGE option (if there any) And then Factory Reset the device?
I've latest 4.4 Kit Kat from LG.
TL;DR , My D802 keeps restarting (not bootlooping IMO) after showing home screen for 2-3 secs, I want to retain my user data before performing a Factory reset, Can I pull my files using ADB from /sdcard/ ?
Thanks!
I dont think its possible to flash a custom recovery in this case, all i can think of is go into stock recovery and use adb sideload and try to pull your data... Once you enter to stock recovery on the first reboot its going to be factory resetted (caution)

Nexus 4 on 4.4.2 stock rooted with Xposed and Matr1x kernel.
I can get to TWRP but after wiping dalvik/cache and reflashing diff kernels (problems started after flashing a new version of a custom kernel), it either gets stuck at "Starting Apps" (after it goes through the Android is upgrading applications thing) or get stuck at the kitkat booting animation.
One time I did manage to get it booted and the Titanium Backup data was still there. I'd like to avoid doing a factory reset and lose the TiBu data and have to set up everything again and lose all my data/pics.
How can I do this?
Or alternately, how can I load a stock kernel onto the device in this condition?
[edit: this is getting worse, I had the phone plugged into my PC (to keep it charged while it's stuck in bootloop or trying to get it to work) and when I pressed the vol buttons + power button to reboot to recovery, the red light came on a couple of times, and now the screen says "Download Mode, DO NOT UNPLUG the device until the process is complete"....... Sigh.
If you can still get into twrp you can use adb pull to pull the titanium backup files off your phone. not sure where titanium backup directory is but you can pull your entire sdcard with 'adb pull /sdcard/'
After that try factory reset, if you still have problems either try flash an older version of the kernel or just flash a stock image. You should still be able to get into fastboot and flash whatever.

Just use fastboot and flash the boot.img file. It'll replace the bad kernel with the stock one
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can extract the boot.img from the factory image

I've got a D802 16GB model, stock rooted 4.4.2 without custom recovery. I wanted to apply the first step of this mod manually (with ES File Explorer), so I changed those values correctly and saved the file. After restart, it stuck in a bootloop. I can't access factory reset mode - it behaves like it doesn't know that trick. ADB keeps telling me my phone is unauthorized, but I can't confirm anything since it's still on LG logo. What should I do?
Edit:
Well, fixed it. All I had to do was to flash stock KDZ in download mode.
Hey,
I hard bricked my phone (no download mode, no recovery and no fastboot) and then managed to fix it (VIA SRK Tool) and got download mode back.
Now I need to install a recovery, and I cant go and manually check if the TWRP recovery is already installed or not, because if I do go to check and the recovery is not there then the phone will factory reset (and I'll lose all my data).
KDZ Method isn't working, it keeps saying I need to restart my device at 23% (same on two different PCs).
So is there any way of flashing the TWRP recovery through the download mode?
Thanks a lot
(I have a D801, I can get to download mode, factory reset screen and LG logo which then leads to the "Security error" coz there is no firmware in the phone.)
After messing up a rom flash somehow (phone was stuck on a gray screen after logo), I used the stock recovery factory reset function, but after doing so my phone is stuck in an 'erase loop'. The phone alternates between the "Erasing..." screen (with the little droid) and the "Bootloader Unlocked" screen.
I can enter the main menu for recovery mode, but if I try to go into the actual recovery mode (where you can wipe and install from sd/adb) the loop starts up again. I haven't seen this issue mentioned many other places, but the one forum I did find (for a different phone) just said to wait it out (20+ hours).
I was wondering if anyone else had ever encountered this, or if anyone had any suggestions for me.

Try flashing TWRP recovery image using fastboot. I presume you have bootloader unlock otherwise you wouldn't ended up in this mess in first place.
First reboot your phone into the bootloader (POWER+VOL-) from here you can connect your phone to PC and issue fastboot commands.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/TWRP.img
After that don't reboot the phone , just select from the already present bootloader the Recovery option... And from there try to factory reset !
If that doesn't work, and the phone doesn't boot (bootloops), you might have the /system partition messed up. At this stage get your hand on the latest Stock Firmware for your phone and flash all the system chunks (no data will be lost, but might need to wipe cache after if you get too many Force Closed)
That is for sure if you want to have stock, you could also try and flash using TWRP a custom ROM, that by itself will restore your system partition ( wipe system before flashing to be sure, by going into wipe -> Advanced -> tick System and the two Cache options and Wipe)
Hope I was clear, ask if you need more step-through details!
Thank you very much, flashing TWRP worked!
Need Help!!!!
I cleared the cache from Stock recovery (which I do regularly) after that the phone is stuck in the boot at Zenfone logo (dots moving). However it does ask for the password before that and every thing works there, after that it is stuck there forever, nothing happens.
Things I have already tried:
1) Flashing Stock Rom using the Stock Recovery
2) Clearing the Cache again
3) Flashing the updated Stock Rom (Pie)
Able to boot in to recovery and fastboot mode, however bootloader is LOCKED and ADB is DISABLED as well.
Is there any way to recover the data from the phone? It is important for a legal case, and I was not in the position to take the backup, sorry for that.
It would be very greatfull if some once can help me recover this important data or start the phone.
Or should I just go ahead and factory reset the phone?
