I tried flashing an update for TWRP through their app. Apparently now my phone is stuck on boot screen showing 'Recovery booting' and can't get past it.
I can get into Download mode, but the problem is I cannot connect it via a cable to the PC since the phone's USB port is busted.
I have a nandroid backup and all but I just can't get into recovery or boot into system...anyway out or am I done for?

I recently just picked up a nexus 4 and i'm trying to get a custom ROM on it. I updated it to 4.3 and that was fine. Went to install custom recovery and every since it will not boot! I've reverted to factory 4.3 using fastboot, and relocked it and locked it but still will not boot. It gets stuck at the X logo. Left it for an hour and won't get past it. If i install a custom recovery, it'll boot into the custom recovery no problem, but won't install root as it can't mount the SD card. I can get to fastboot mode no problem and flash stuff in fastboot but will never boot up. I'm puzzled as to what to do. I'm going to try 4.2.2 factory image here shortly and see if i can get it to take. I forgot to enable USB debugging so i think thats why i can't get custom recoveries to work. I tried pushing a ROM using ADB push but it wouldn't get there. Maybe it did as it said it did on the computer but the recovery won't read the memory. Any ideas as to what to do
UPDATE: Ok after flashing stock 4.2.2 from fastboot it boots.
UPDATE: turns out just having USB debugging was the culprit of everything. So make sure USB debugging is enabled before starting the whole process!
Hi, I made a really big mess. After perusing through the threads, I read that you had to be on bootstack 39a to flash lollipop. I was on 24a, 4.4.2. I booted to recovery and backed up my system then flashed bootstack 39a and wiped cache. Sadly I am now getting secure booting error cause boot certification verify.
Update: I was able to get to recovery and was able to flash my backup file. However, while flashing the backup the screen suddenly died. I left it alone for a few minutes, now however it is unresponsive and wont event light up when plugged for charging. Help.. Thank you in advance.
Update: My device is not being recognized by adb. And the device manager is indicating the there are no drivers for the lg g2 vs980. Its marked with the yellow exclamation point. I think usb debugging got disabled when I flashed boot stack 39a. I've been trying to no avail to have it recognized constantly reinstalling lg drivers...
how about download mode ?
Hi,
I was flashing twrp with flashify when I just rebooted in recovery and since that moment my phone is stuch on an infinite bootloop showing me the:
"Recovery booting (recovery is not seandroid enforcing...)"
I'm plugging off the battery for some hours, but when plugged in nothing changed.
My phone has the usb port broken, so I can use it only to charge the battery, but no pc will recognize it.
Since the fact that I can't access download mode, or recovery mode to restore a nandroid backup, It's insane to buy a usb port to change it on the phone and try to link to a pc?
I mean, is there a way to access download mode?
Does JIG usb work in this situation of hard brick?
Any advice?
Thanks for answering.

You need a working usb to flash a custom recovery or an offical fw. I thought flashify needs root access to work?. Or if you already have root, you could adb to flash twrp but it's too late now.
Try getting into download mode. When it asks to proceed or cancel, choose cancel. Some people are lucky that the phone boot into system again but they need to fix the broken recovery later.

After 2 months of battery out, finally I got download mode to work, and pressing cancel my phone started.
Thanks.
But now it seems that there is no custom recovery installed, so when i go in custom recovery, the loop starts again.
How may I install again a custom recovery, knowing that:
1) I can't connect to pc, cm 12.1 has a bug, no pc recognizes my phone;
2) rom manager doesn't install any custom recovery on my phone;
3) flashify made my phone in boot loop, and I can't understand what I was wrong 2 months ago.
Thank you, man.
See your other post man .
Flash the tar version of TWRP using Odin. If there is no tar version, you can use Cygwin to convert an img file to a tar file.
Hi guys
SO Ive tried a number of things.
Im currently stock in recovery or fastboot.
It happened after I applied a substratum theme on 8.1 Resurrection Remix and I restarted the phone because it froze on applying the theme.
No mater what I do I always end up in recovery.
Things tried so far:
Everything besides ext. Sd wiped numerous times before and after reinstall.
Full restore including everything (bootloader, recovery, cache, all the restore options you can use in TWRP aka the full monty. based on Fulmics 4.2 ive used to restore beforehand)
Full reinstall of Resurrection Remix
Full reinstall of Fulmics
Reinstall of TWRP
Reinstall of MElina TWRP
Each and every reinstall and restore takes me promptly to TWRP just after the LG logo..
My question is, how do I fix this?
I have full access to both fastboot and recovery
Lgup and uppercut clean flash
Thanks do you know how I get Windows 10 to detect it as a LG handset not just ADB or Bootloader interface? LG USB drivers are installed.
It does recognize it as portable device. (probably MTP mode as I have full access to)
Edit 2: I discovered as soon as I plug in USB on the PC the phone boots up and into TWRP even if I've turned it off prior to that
So I thought locking the bootlooker was a good idea.. Apprently not as I now can't get past "Your device is corrupt" screen.
I can almost boot into bootloader until the last confirmation "delete userdata screen" after where it goes back to "your device is corrept" screen..
Can get into iMEI display screen - Never seen that one before
Power off your phone and when the screen turns black press and hold vol up and plug in your usb cable. Your pc must find your G6. Then download a stock rom and flash it with lgup and uppercut.

hi,
i have an old S4 which I wanted to update to new LineageOS. First I tried to flash TWRP by JCDteam, but I got error, and now recovery does not boot - it simply restarts the phone. The problem is, that the USB port is dead on the phone (shows Device has malfuncationed when connecting to PC), so I cannot use Odin to flash new recovery. Is there any way to flash TWRP to Recovery partition from the phone itself (it boots and works fine and has root)?
Try to use genuine cable first not some Chinese fake things.
Plenty of apps available to flash recovery, try to install twrp app
I think I've bricked. it. I've tried to do dd from terminal but when I rebooted, the recovery still doesn't boot (starts booting then reboots), the phone doesn't boot anymore (stuck on LineageOS logo), and if I boot to download mode and connect usb cable (and i've tried tons of them) it just says unknown device
Anything else I can do?

Replace the USB port so you can flash a system image through Ofin. If I recall correctly the port is on its own board, so if replacing the port isn't feasible, replacing the board the port is on with one from a different S4 should work. Of course only you can determine whether doing so is worth the time and energy.
