I tried uploading Froyo to my mytouch 3g. I rooted the phone using the one click method and backed up and flashed the new rom. Upon reboot, the rom wouldn't start up so I recovered and restored all previous settings. I found a new rom and went into recovery but i see the dreaded white triangle, but if I turn it on normal it starts up into the original rom fine and is still rooted. How do I get my recovery back? I am also running ROM manager.
Just reflash the recovery from ROM Manager.

Slowness is not problem of recovery. What do you want exactly?

Seems to me like his phone keeps reinstalling the stock recovery upon reboot or rom manager isn't flashing properly, and probably needs to do it manually with "flash_image". . .
( I posted a way to fix the flashing recovery issue before: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428838 )
First of all, u didnt described ur problem clearly. then, i think your recovery mode is ok, the thing is you couldn't go through that. did you tried to go to the recovery by holding home+power down key together? then the picture of a phone and a triangle with (!) mark comes up, release the keys and then press them together, hope you will solve ur problem through that.and for making ur phone faster, try bananabread 3.1 , right now i am using that. good luck
I seem to have a slight problem, I cannot flash any rom on my d802. It flashes ok in recovery but cannot get past setup without force closing and restarting the setup and cannot enter the rom. I can only restore the backup that I have and works fine. Am I missing something. ? Also I just get the android coloured cross boot screen not the lg one.

I am on starfighters flex 3.5 rom. If I flash anything else flex or stock the setup screen in the wizard is plain android not lg themed. I have tried full wiping, wiping with system or dirty flashing. I have tried all recoverys . it gets to the end of the setup wizard and then just restarts the setup after force closing. I can only restore the flex rom from backup. If I try to flash the same rom from scratch it does the same.

So you have the 3.5 ROM and the myhub fix zips right?
Then start by wiping cache,davlik,system, and data then wipe those again.....then flash the ROM zip then the myhub fix.....then wipe cache and davlik again this reboot.....
Thanks for the reply. But how will I be able to move back to a non flex rom?

Download another ROM and gapps if needed,....go into recovery do the same four wipes(cache,davlik,system and data .....then do again for good measure then flash the ROM and flash the gapps if needed.....then wipe cache and davlik ....then reboot! How this helps....you should always make a back u before you start flashing so if anything bad happens just wipe and restore...
Ok thanks I'll give this a go later. I have the backup of this rom, makes a change for me to have one. I am a bit wreckless with flashing roms sometimes as I seem to try all of them.

So the ROM will start up and just for close? And your wiping everything besides internal storage before flashing?
It will start setup till it gets to end of setup then force close then restart setup wizard. But its happening on roms that I've flashed before. Wiping everything except data. Numerous times.

How do u back up your EFS files
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
**This is "my" way of doing things on my D800. I cannot take any responsibility for your device getting effed up no matter who's directions you follow!"
So you think you've got issues with this ROM? Won't boot, flash or start-up. Well, maybe you haven't followed the proper flashing sequence or you have a bad download. Did you know that 99.999% of the issues people are having is user related? Well, maybe I don't know the exact percentage, but you get my drift.
Seriously though, before posting a question, make sure you have done all the personal troubleshooting possible. To help make this a little easier, I am posting the exact method I use for flashing this ROM and I haven't had a single issue.
Before flashing any ROM, you should always be sure to do a proper back-up of your EFS files. This could very well save you from a bricked G2 and save you from having headaches if you do something wrong during the flash, wipe, etc...
The method I use is to download FreeGee from HERE. Once you have downloaded and installed FreeGee, you will have an option for backing up your EFS files and also will provided the different versions of TWRP (TWRP is all I use). Once your EFS files are backed-up, immediately upload them to the "cloud". If you need a good cloud app, HERE is one.
Now that you have this done, you are ready to attempt installing a custom ROM. Here are the steps that I take:
1. Boot into recovery
2. Make a back-up of your current ROM
3. Go back to the recovery home screen
4. Hit the Wipe button
5. Hit the Advanced Wipe button
6. Check the boxes for Dalvik Cache, System, Data and Cache. DO NOT CHECK THE INTERNAL STORAGE BOX!!!
7. Once the wipe is complete, go back to the recovery home screen
8. Hit the Install box
9. Choose the ROM you want to install
10. Swipe to confirm the flash
Once the flash is done, it should say successful if all went correctly. From that screen hit Reboot System. You should see the sweet boot screen and then be brought to the setup screen.
If you have done all this and you are still having trouble, please re-download the ROM and follow the steps again. You may have gotten a bad download.
If after you have followed these steps twice and you still have a ROM specific question, post away.
If anyone has something to add to this, let me know and I will add it. I hope this helps at least one person. bigfau, if you want me to remove this, please let me know.
Other Notes:
~ If you are on the software version that ends with "o", you will likely have to LGFlash back to the "d" version. @AyDee Thank you!
~ The newer version of TWRP and Philz Recovery may cause issues with flashing. I am using TWRP v2.6.3.3 and have no issues with it.
You could add that ATT users coming from the 'o' firmware need to roll back to 'd' and that a lot of users are having issues with the newest TWRP and Philz.
Not rom-specific but worth mentioning.
Anyone use Facebook Messenger on D800 with 3.0 and have it open two apps when you run it? Tried uninstalling and installing it again and still does it. Only app that does. Any idea how to fix it?

Huh? Dorimanx makes a kernel, not a rom. I don't think this rom includes dorimanx kernel. However, you can flash it after installing the ROM.

I recently fixed an infamous bootloop i had by letting the battery die 100% (yeah I know it is bad), and then it booted. Well i went to flash a new rom and it never rebooted. I then went to flash stock from google. Still a bootloop. tried like 3 roms, still a loop. I then tried the killing my battery thing. Still a loop. Please, i know the phone isn't hard bricked, is there anything else i can do to boot it other than just flashing stock and factory resetting. Thanks.
Another thing, when i try to flash 4.2.2 the phone doesn't go to the boot logo.

Yep, if it didn't your emmc flash memory would be bad. I'd try re-downloading the factory image and trying again. Are you using the flash-all.bat to flash? You might try flashing all the components separately and see if any of them fail.

None of the flashes failed. I have tried redownloading and i have also checked the md5's, so i dont think that would be it. I have also tried reformatting through twrp, and then flashing stock. Still nothing.
flashing 4.4.4 separately got me on the starting apps step, but that seems to be the place where it gets stuck.
I need to decide if i wanna take another month trying to fix the nexus 4 or just get the nexus 5. Nothing is working and i think i should just leave it now. But at the same time, i just wanna fix it so i don't have to spend money on a new phone. I have run out of things to try and revive the phone so i don't know what to do anymore.

there's must be a way cause you can boot on 4.4.4 but unfortunately i'm not that good in these kind of problems
but i hope you can find the cure soon
You can obviously get into flashboot, have you tried booting the latest twrp, wiping /system /data /cache and sideloading something different, like Paranoid Android?
Bootloop fix
First thing is that you have use Wug's Tool and flash the 4.3 stock image. In the Wug's tool select the option 'SOFT BRICK or BOOTLOOP' option and then flash the stock image in the fastboot mode. Definitely, I hope the phone will launch without any problem. The same problem I had faced with my nexus 4 and I flash the 4.3 stock image with the help of Wug's tool. Try it I hope it will fix the problem.
Help!!
I've bricked my s7 edge!!
I was trying to flash twrp recovery on odin and ended up stuck in a bootloop. I think I've deleted everything off my SM-G935F. I thought I'd have to resort to reflashing stock rom off sammobile but it doesn't seem to want to complete the download for some reason. It keeps stopping about 3/4 of the way through. It takes about 2 hours to get to this point and it happens every time. I've tries it a few times from sammobile and even 2 or 3 other websites. I've tried different roms O2 and btu and xeu. I'm from the UK using an unlocked unbranded version. Can anyone shed any light on this issue or tell me some other reputable website I may find a working link to a stock rom?
Thanks in advance guys.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry but I'm an amateur when it comes to this sort of thing. I'm not familiar with smart switch..
How does this work exactly? I can't download it to my phone because it's bricked. Would I download it to my laptop?
I've also been trying the fw.uptado.com website but it can't be found for some reason.
Anyone else able to help?
I apologise if this is basic stuff but I've only rooted about 4 phones in 7 years so I'm not really any kind of expert to say the least .
This is the unbranded firmware: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=145291997DB511E7963AFA163EE8F90B
Put your phone in download mode as you did when you flashed TWRP and use odin to flash the AP from the zip file in that download.
Sometimes downloading with "stock" downloader of Windows, and Android sucks if you have unstable internet connection. My suggestion is to use the Internet Download Manager for Windows, or the Android Download Manager (ADM) obviously for Android. Good thing for these aforementioned download managers, if your internet connection drops, your ongoing download will not terminate, instead it will resume where the point stopped.
PS: just tick the option of "Auto Resume" in the Settings.
Hope this helps.
Thank you everyone who has gone out of their way to help me out it's much appreciated. After lots of failed rom downloads, I finally managed to find one that finished downloading. I've flashed it and realised it was an unbranded Swedish rom but it seems to work fine.

after flashing twrp u need to perform a format from the twrp recovery. i.e wipe>format data type yes. only after that can u flash a rom or any other file. u need to perform this step only once.
oh n when u reboot the phone select the do not install option.
also it would be better if u flash a custom stock rom like superman or batman. flashing magisk on oem stock rom sometimes makes the phone sluggish. in my case the phone not only becomes slow but lucky patcher causes the phone to reboot.
good luck flashing

For the first time coming from stock firmware, /data partition is encrypted and can't be read by twrp. To fix this, twrp need to format(not wipe) /data partition to remove encryption once.
Keep in mind, that all data will be lost.
