I have a rooted Verizon LG G2 and have been trying to install a recovery mod. I somehow got rid of the stock recovery, but couldn't setup a new one. Now my phone is stuck on the fastboot screen. I've been able to get it to the stock recovery screen, but when it starts to wipe the drive, it just takes me back to the fastboot screen. I'm very new to this and haven't been able to figure this out through any other threads. I'm using Ubuntu. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm in the same boat. I tried to install TWRP using the Autorec but accidentally used the one for the LS980, and now I'm stuck at the fastboot screen. Did you ever solve this?

Code:
1. download fastboot
2. download laf.img boot.img aboot.img for your variant
(or download your kdz, download kdz/tot extractor and extract partitions --and rename them from boot_45465757.bin to boot.img)
* boot_45465757.bin is just an example.
3. fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
4. fastboot flash boot boot.img
5. fastboot flash laf laf.img
-> download mode should be back

This can be fixed .
1. You Will need to Download the Stock KDZ/TOT file for your phone , find the right KDZ or TOT file from here .
2. Now you would have to extract the KDZ/TOT file that you downloaded above using WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.1.0-Release.zip , this is available in the guide here.
3. Extract all the files fro the KDZ/TOT .
4. Now flash the extracted files , based on the fastboot method , which is described here.
Code:
fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash dbi dbi.img
fastboot flash laf laf.img
fastboot flash misc misc.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash persist persist.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash rpm rpm.img
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.img
fastboot flash tz tz.img
Let me know if you need more help.
Why so many partitions. Be sure to flash same version as your current android is at least.
I attempted flashing a ZVA zip earlier that uses `qcom.install_radio`. Unfortunately, this somehow causes my LS980 to loop in fastboot mode. I've seen a few other people talking about this happening to them as well, so decided I would share this.
Thanks to http://direct.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451426, I was able to get the original *.img files and drop them in with fastboot.
You'll need to go to http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2 and download the partitions that you need. After that is done, run the following (replacing with your file names along the way):
Code:
fastboot flash aboot aboot.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash tz tz.img
fastboot flash rpm rpm.img
fastboot flash modem modem.img
fastboot flash laf laf.img
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.img
You can continue flashing the rest of the files, but these were the files that were effected by the zip I used and sufficed for getting it back online.
After that's done, you need to flash the *.img file for the recovery that you want. For instance, mine would be:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
You'll need to turn the phone completely off, then reboot it while holding power and volume down. This will get you into your recovery and allow you to recover from a backup, or whatever you'd like to do at that point.
So this a guide so that you dont have to waste 10+ hours searching threads upon threads of info to find what you need to unbrick your lg g2. This guide will use multiple references and will go through every step that i had to do unbrick my lg g2 d800.
I am not responsible for making your phone worse of than it was or somehow permanently bricking your device, i am simply providing an instruction manual that worked for my situation.
Initial Symptoms:
1. Stuck in boot loop
2. will not go into download or recovery mode
3. when turning on the lg logo appears and then the screen becomes black but is still on
4. when plugging into computer 15ish hardrives try to mount and say they need formatting
5. LG detected as qhsusb_bulk in device manage

i recommend just installing ubuntu because it reduces errors and is faster.
After this you will more than likely have recovery and can move on restore your rom or stock image if you have download mode or twrp is working properly.
If, however, you get stuck into fastboot loop and the symptoms are:
1. will not boot
2. can get into twrp using recovery but twrp doesnt work properly
3. says when booting
fastboot mode started
udc_start()
reset
portcharge
4. wont go into download mode but for a second and goes back out of it

I was hoping this would fix my problem, but I'm in worse state now. I'm getting LG logo only and it looks like it's rebooting by itself. I can't get to any modes now except seeing the factory reset screen and hardware key control setting screen, other than that I can't get the computer to recognize the phone as it keeps on rebooting. Anyone got that and was able to fix it or do I just send in my phone for repair? I did download all the files for D803 which is my phone version. thanks.

I'm not sure if I even understand this. You're saying to hold volume + and plug usb in but that puts me in dowload mode that doesn't work it just stays on the dots part. And then using fastboot, I'm moving all that over. When I do that, it just says "waiting on device". If you could please help me out. I have the ls980 and it's stuck on the lg logo bootloop. and it's not recognized by any computer. I've tried abd but that doesn't work. I have an otg cable. would it be possible to do any of this via the otg?
Thanks. This actually worked for me after autorec had wrecked my D802.

I am very sorry if you died by my English
Hello guys this guide is for those who downgraded from 5.1 to 4.4.4 using the method described in XDA.
I am not responsible for Bricked(Soft&Hard) mobiles (If you ask at me I can only give you another hard bricked mobile. Because I am having Many)
NOTE (For those who don't know what is happening )This is just for understandingwhile downgrading we are skipping flashing of the files (gtp.bin & motoboot.img) because those are the files causing Hard brick.
Because Bootloader(motoboot.img) of 5.1 lollipop does not allow downgrading.Ok lets start the guide
[GUIDE] Perform the steps carefullyBefore proceeding further Backup your precious files because updating via fastboot will wipe your internal memory
Step 1
Download the required files
1. adb tools with mfastboot.exe (search in your laptop or PC because you downloaded that while performing the downgrade
2. Motorola device manager (Driver)
3. fastboot firmware files for your model (links will be posted soon but you can search in google with the phrase "resource yandex moto x")
step 2
Install Motorola device manager driver
step 3
Extract adb tools.zip and firmware.zip in the same folder
step 4
Enable USB Debugging in the mobile then connect it to pc via USB cable
Step 5
Open the folder where you extracted the zip's and right click while pressing the shift key and choose "Open command window here"
Step 6
Enter this command to make your mobile into fastboot modecommand: adb reboot boot-loader
Step 7
After your mobile rebooted to fastboot mode enter the following commands {flashing system takes some time be patient}
commands (verify the screenshots below) (one by one without this " ") (you can copy and past)mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
mfastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot erase modemst1
mfastboot erase modemst2
mfastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot erase customize
mfastboot erase clogo
mfastboot reboot
You can also use this same method for downgrading from 5.1 to 4.4.4.
The only thing you have to do is replace the 5.1 firmware with 4.4.4
bat file will be uploaded soon (No need to copy and paste each and every commands)

How to download from lollipop to KitKat,
Hi everybody...I'm in trouble with my Yotaphone YD201.
I done format data with TWRP.
Then, I run these commands with Win10 for clean flash of RU144:
Code:
fastboot flash boot {Directory_firmware/boot.img}
fastboot flash -S 512M system {Directory_firmware/system.img}
fastboot flash recovery {Directory_firmware/recovery.img}
fastboot flash cache {Directory_firmware/cache.img}
fastboot flash modem {Directory_firmware/radio/NON-HLOS.bin}
fastboot flash sbl1 {Directory_firmware/radio/sbl1.mbn}
fastboot flash rpm {Directory_firmware/radio/rpm.mbn}
fastboot flash tz {Directory_firmware/radio/tz.mbn}
fastboot flash userdata {Directory_firmware/userdata.img}
fastboot flash aboot {Directory_file__emmc_appsboot.mbn}
fastboot reboot
After the last one, Screen gone black and nothing appends...
Now, adb and fastboot can't contact with Yota ("adb devices" give "<waiting for devices") .
Now, In Win devices, I can find " QHSUSB_BULK".
After some search, I found out that my phone is in a recovery mode of Qualcomm. Does anybody know how to unblock it? Problably I need of specific driver to contact with this phone. Thanks so much!
P.S.: do not esitate to contact me if my english is not clear =)
How about a method like this https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/solution-bricked-oneplus-one-recovery.306306/ but use Yotaphone files instead?

This discussion uses Msm8974DownloadTool.exe from the directory of ColorOS but the wire connection does not work (the file is no longer available, from Mega).
Also, not sure if I can use Msm8974DownloadTool.exe with Yotaphone. Alternatively, what can I use?
