Can't root, cannot boot into stock recovery anymore - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had cloudy rom on my phone for a long time and i switched back to stock some months ago by flashing a kdz to my phone via lgflashtool. I am on stock now, not rooted.
I would like to install custom rom, custom recovery, custom kernel again but i cant install a custom recovery to flash my zips, because there is no way to boot my phone into the stock recovery mode (all rooting methods want me to start that adb thing from the stock recovery menu, so no way i could even root my phone).
I tried all the methods, (volume down+power holding until lg logo, release then hold again) but i just booted into factory reset mode, where i could factory reset my phone (i know this is the way to start the custom recoveries, but stock recovery won't show up with this method).
I flashed a new kdz to my phone, but still no recovery for me, anyone could help me, i am really mad that i can't root or flash custom rom to my phone anymore, just the stock from my pc.

you need root first... then install autorec for kitkat for your variant search for it... then update the custom recovery with the twrp below it has thermal protection..
for root try this... sometimes it gets stuck continue trying . it took me 3 tries. let it seat there for 10 minutes then restart phone and see if you got super user in the phone..

Stuck in fastboot; Where should I go from here?

Going to need some help on this one. Got root on stock through ioRoot22. Flashed twrp 2.6.3.3 through FreeGee. Backed up stock rom in twrp then reboot to stock rom to confirm boot
Went back into TWRP then Wiped device then attempted flashing Vanir.
Flashed Vanir zip
Flashed gapps zip
Attempted flashing kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2638091
Came back with flash failed with an assert issue with loki, knowing I probably shouldnt have rebooted and restored my stock backup. I didnt think anything of it. Now Im stuck in fastboot and can gain access to download mode.Currently downloading the 11A tot/kdz and reading over this guide

Would I need a stock recovery for the VS980 to complete download mode restoral? if so would anyone have it?
Ok so in the end through some patience, I was able to restore my stock rom by gaining access to TWRP through the normal "factory reset with stock recovery" method of booting. Was tricky because it wouldnt power off and bootlooping to fastboot. While in fastboot I held Vol - and Power so I can gain access again to TWRP. Restored the stock rom and all is well.

Thanks for sharing.

Ok so apparently there are some kernels/roms who have not updated their loki_patch file yet. From what I've been reading up which needs to be done for the roms to correspond to the updates. Am I correct?

[Q] LG g2 802 bootloop after full wipe

So i was with the stock kitkat 4.4.2 rooted rom, after installing a recovery i wanted to install cloudyflex 2.0, i successifully did, rebooted the device everything worked fine, so i went back to the recovery and decided to full wipe everything.... it seemed to work fine, except that when i pressed on reboot the system i got warned that superSU was not installed... that scared me out, and now im f**cked because of the bootloop... i cant turn on the phone.. what to do?
If you still can boot in download mode, just kdz it back to stock, 4.2.2 then root, flash recovery (Phiz for example), then flash any rom you want.

Can not boot into TWRP recovery

Ok here's the situation: I had rooted and installed TWRP and a custom rom (2 actually). I had an issue where the rom is not compatible with my fav alarm app, so I tried to revert back to a stock rom. That's where the trouble began. I unfortunately don't recall the exact steps I took, but I can not boot into recovery either by the button method or the reboot into recovery method. I can always reboot into download mode with no problem. If I go into Odin and either try to reflash the twrp recovery or flash stock recovery (tried both of these multiple times) I can get the phone to boot back to the rom I am trying to uninstall. All I am trying to do is get into TWRP recovery. Any thanks would be appreciated.

Soft-Bricked, no access to recovery.... HELP!

Hey everyone.
I'm really hoping someone can help me. I just got my Redmi 2 Prime today, and before even properly setting it up I had rooted it. It wasn't long before I decided to try a different ROM. I decided on Resurrection Remix and TWRP recovery, both of which I flashed an ran flawlessly. RR booted up, everything was great.
I then tried flashing SuperSU again, after installing RR. Flashing the .zip file resulted in a boot loop, with no access to recovery, only fastboot.
What I've tried (with no success):
- Re-flashing TWRP (through Fastboot).
- Flashing CWM instead (through Fastboot).
- Flashing stock recovery (through Fastboot).
None of these have proven successful..... Can anyone give any advice on how to get out of this mess? I hardly feel up for having to take my phone into a shop without even having had it for 24 hours.....
TIA!
Fastboot flash Redmi 2 ROM. Download ROM file from MIUI forums and read the instructions there. Go to this link http://en.miui.com/a-234.html
i dont know if this comes at the right time,since fastboot is accesbile ,boot into fastboot, and flash recovery into boot(this may sound foolish but you can do it)
fastboot flash boot recovery_twrp.img
reboot,you will be taken into twrp
you can take a backup here,
now wipe all and flash the ROM.zip
anfd it should all work fine
I had the same problem when I switched from MIUI 8 4.4Kitkat to CM13 6.0
But I was able to solve it without fastboot.
RessurectionRemix and most roms esepecially CM based have "built-in" superSU manager.You just have simply to re-enable it on the developer settings.No need to flash supersu.zip,it would just make things worse.Download Flashify to boot in TWRP manually since flashing different ROMs will temporarily remove the TWRP(doing the button combination wouldn't boot into recovery,instead bootloop like you mentioned).
Then I was able to perform a restore on stock MIUI 8.
You have to download Flashify in order to manually force the phone to boot in recovery mode,since doing to volume up+power wouldn't let you.
I don't know if this is because my TWRP version only supports KitKat....or switching from 4.4-6.0 is a big gap.
Thanks for the responses!
I ended up solving the issue, though there wasn't really an issue to begin with. Turns out the button combination to enter recovery is different than stock (both volume buttons and power), though I did re-flash to the latest version of TWRP.
I'm now running Resurrection Remix without flaws!
But yeah, I realize now that CM based ROMs have a baked-in SU manager, it was foolish of me to flash the file without doing proper reading up beforehand!

Before dload method, you need to flash stock boot img and stock recovery img. Then use dload method. (Use that same stock ROM)
After that you will in bootloop. When booting, press and hold vol up 3 seconds. On e-recovery, press shutdown.
Then press power and vol up for stock recovery. Do factory reset. If need do the factory reset 2/3 times.
Now you will be on stock.
Then you need to unlock bootloader, flash miticulus twrp v4. Dump stock boot+ system img. Do factory reset. Flash custom ROM lineage 13/14 miticulus. Reboot recovery, format data.
