Rooted my LG G2 (ATT) recently. Yesterday i got an error on bootup stating that system UI has crashed.. After that all hell broke loose. Phone when powered on only boots into the TWRP, friend thought he could "fix" the issue by doing a format on the device.. FML. SO now when trying to get into download mode to perform the Stock Rom/Unbrick process it just won't allow me to do anything. It just keeps booting into TWRP.
My laptop has all drivers needed, but phone won't be detected by my laptop..
Anyway how i can get my LG back to stock & working? Didn't have a custom rom or anything, only the Camera Mod which never gave issues..
The system UI came on before i did the Camera Mod by the way..

Holding volume up & plugging in usb cable boots into TWRP.. Holding both vol down & up, while plugging in USB makes device stick on LG logo screen..

Flash a Rom

dd if=/dev/Zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Copy a Rom on a USB stick and install it in TWRP via OTG, run back into TWRP and enter this line
start at the recovery, go to Advanced, then Terminal Command, press Select,use this code,
dd if=/dev/Zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
That should solve your problem, for me it just works
Only in this way can be turned off Trwp as default and the phone boots normally
Good Luck!

Have you tried to use the "sideload" option to see if you can load a rom onto it yet? This requires that your computer sees your phone with the correct drivers and adb working too.
Did you try to do a complete wipe/reboot and see if you can get into download mode?
If none of those methods work then I'm not sure what to tell you. I ran into two problems only so far.
First one was when I accidently wiped everything and had to sideload a rom onto my phone.
Second, I took the OTA update and had the bootloop TWRP problem which was solved by using the LG Flash tool to flash the stock Sprint rom onto my phone by following the directions for the Verizon Method but used a Sprint rom and dll file.
If you can't sideload a rom or get into download mode then you have a major problem there but it could be just that you've overlooked something.

Copy a Rom to Usb and install the Rom via Usb/Otg Cable,it is self to install from internal Storage.You can Select OTG or internal Storage in Recovery to install the Rom.Its easy,I can Backup or install Roms on Otg.
Sorry for my Bad English,i hope you understand me!

nope doesn't work.. Won't connect to PC... It did before fine.. Sideload is stuck at loading screen or something. I'll try loading rom onto USB & from usb to phone once i get an adapter for USB Female to Micro USB.
He got out.
I was stuck in the bootloop for about 6 hours before I realized I had the correct dll, and tot file, the correct utility from LGE, and I turned the noodle of a brick into a "unbranded" phone temporarily, until sprint came to the rescue, and branded everything back from the production image I loaded just earlier. I just wanna say this... DO NOT PLAY WITH PHONE DIALER CODES MEANT FOR THE KOREANS WHO TEST YOUR PHONE!!!
You can brick that **** fast as hell. TWRP kept coming in, and I didn't know how to deal with adb sideload, or the basic dd command to get things back to download mode. Now I have a real working knowledge of recovering from an otherwise hopeless state. Take your time, and explore slowly.
Your mileage may vary, just sayin'

I experienced this situation for a while.
The solution is doing a normal procedure to install custom rom from USB.
Just copy custom rom to USB, choose advanced wipe, then wipe dalvik, cache, data, and system. Then install custom rom in USB, and, reboot phone after installation finished.
Phone should be back to normal again.

***i try second one but i jusy says:dd: can't open '/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota': No such file or directory. :crying: ***
Was running cyanogenmod 11 and everything was great untill i installed something and it broke my play store. Decided to reinstall gapps in cwm but it froze when i was formatting cache. After 1 hour i forced restard and now its screw up really bad. I managed to reinstall gapps but its still bad. I am on my gfs laptop and need to fix this asap, i know i could do it if only i could put this cm 11 rom onto the sd card. I tried a lot of methods but it seems the emulated sdcard is gone, there is no directory and can't put files anywhere else. When i open phone theres just /emulated/storage and nothing. I am trying adb method now but my gf is using windows 8 and i am failing hard. Still on windows 7 at home, won't be back home for months though so i need to fix this here asap. Btw i had titanium backups but even that is not working. Help plz.
well i got adb working but now when i try accesing the device through adb the phone automatically restarts. I tried "adb reboot bootloader" and it either restarts or if i check devices it will say no devices then automatically restart

If you go to download mode and you can flash things via odin and it fails, it probably means that you have a defective usb port. Try another usb port and see if it solves the problem.

Hi Mate,
If is restarting all the time it looks like is in contant reset , check you power button , maybe is stuck
system protected
Today it turn on for 5 minutes and I connected it to my pc to access it folder, i tried to delete some files and i got the message that android cannot be deleted the system is write protected. I removed it from the pc and tried to delete in its file manager the files where deleted but they came back and again it started restarting. I think that's the reason why its failing to install a new rom because of the protection. What else can i try?
I want to install custom ROM on my Zenfone 5.
Things you should know:
.. Phone OS completely corrupts unable to boot the device (even android logo also not appear)
.. It is not showing charging symbol also when connected to charger/usb
.. Phone never boots into recovery mode (it is just restarting(vibration)! and stay idle)
.. It has TeamWin recovery project that appear after 30 mins of charging (useful!!)
So, can anybody tells me how install custom ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-5/orig-development/beta-cyanogenmod-12-1-tank0412-t3285392) please don't say boot into recovery mode and do some adb/fastboot commands it is not working (volume up+power or any combination). It is just showing one big red charging bar symbol without charging.. and some times TeamWin which may helpful because it has filemanager and I can browse but I don't know how to install with that.
If you have any ideas please share me..
Thanks
You can put rom on the external sdcard and install it after TWRP booting.
But i think that something wrong with bootloader on your phone so you should try to make unbrick.

Thanks for the answer..
Hard bricked device - Just like it's name, your device is dead. It behaves like a real brick. You can have no operation on pressing the power button.
So we can make a conclusion: soft bricked device can’t be defined as "BRICKED"; the hard bricked device is the real "DEAD & BRICKED", and it can't be unbricked. Sorry for the answer to how to unbrcik hard bricked Android phone.
This is the situation of my phone and whenever I flash a zip file from TWRP I'm getting following error..
"E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/.....zip'"
I'm googling this error but unable to get anything(trying some of the one plus one solutions to the similar problem).. Please help me..

It looks like you use TWRP by Knone which is broken a bit. So you should install TWRP by quanganh2627.
Try to flash this package via TWRP:

It will install a stable TWRP.

Yes, I'm trying that but the problem here is I'm unable to flash TWRP now (Run the command prompt - wait for device - phone starts several times but only big red battery symbol without charging/usb cable showing red bar below - boot into installed OS) that's it without flashing the TWRP phone reboots and command prompt still waiting for device even device already booted.
Interestingly now the battery showing 100% directly (I don't know ! whether it is actual figure or something goes wronng!) but still my IMEI is empty and I want to install stock ROM on this device for this purpose.
Note: still power + volume up/down to goto recovery mode not working
Any help appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi,
I'm using TRWP 2.8 on my nexus10. While flashing a new ROM TRWP hangs (30 Minutes) and I have to turn off the device. Now I only can start the bootloader, nothing more. I have tried to get an adb connection but no device is found. I have tried it from my mac and also from a win10 .
Is my device now dead for ever ??

I know this trick and I have tried it two times. But it's still the same. And by the way, I can't stop booting. Either it's booting til the "Google" is shown or when I push the volume button it's booting into the boot loader. But it never stops booting.

you ****ed up the partitions most likely. If you can get fastboot then restore stock firmware (fresh start that sh*t my n****). If you can't get any fastboot connection at all, try reinstalling the drivers and sh*t. If that doesn't fix it, I think you're ****ed.
