Stuck in cwm recovery!! Help!!! - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay, so here's my situation...
I installed TWRP with no issues, and a few days later installed CWM recovery (just because it's what I'm used to from previous device usage), but just today an OTA occurred. Yes, I'm an idiot and was warned not to do this and for that I am getting hit my some severe karma. Anyways, all I want to do is get my device working again. I could care less if it's stock, and I lose all of my data. I just want it to return to normal functionality. I'm on CWM version 6.0.4.4 and have no ADB support so I'm unable to push any files for a restore. Also, I have backups in my TWRP folder, but cannot access them from the restore from /sdcard menu. If anyone out there could help me out I'd be so damn grateful. Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, I believe this forum you are speaking of is only a fix for people using TWRP as their recovery. I'm on CWM. Although I'll give it a quick check. Thanks!

Actually, I can't even revert to stock. Don't have any files that I can use to restore. Can't push them from PC. I think I'm out of options. Unless you can think of anything. Is there anyone I can directly get a hold of to help resolve this for me? I know I'm not the only one who has gotten this error.

FIXED!
If anyone out there needs help with this issue, I've found a very simple quick fix.
1. http://koush.com/post/universal-adb-driver Download and install this. For some reason it enables you to use ADB while in CWM.
2. Plug in your device while powered on and in recovery mode.
3. Now, enter the following commands in order.
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
4. TA DA! You should be able to reboot your device in full functionality!
Note: The command prompt was copy and pasted by me from this forum --- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Big thanks to thecubed for getting me outta this one!

I am in the same situation. Please describe it in detail as to where to enter the command. Specifically where do I get "adb shell" and how to get this command prompt. Thank you so much

I was having the same problem tried everything to get it to reboot even the universal drivers still didn't work. I ended up using ubuntu and installing the jdk and sdk then ran the command that was in the TWRP tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696) and it worked like a charm. 9 hours though :/ hope this helps a little bit. if you dont have a computer running ubuntu just make a live cd and you can do it from that!
this was the link to the question I had posted.

Worked beautifully, after a few hours, almost gave up. This was so simple, it's aggravating.

same problem stuck in cwm menu

You have to have fastboot unselected before it will work. I'm looking into rooting my wife's mt4g, and that took me forever to figure out.
I have a vibrant, so I'm new around these parts. Still doing my research before taking the plunge.

Please use the term quick boot when referring to the reboot option that does not fully restart the phone.
Use 'fastboot' to refer to the low level utility / protocol that allows image (ROM,etc) flashing via USB

No problem (clicky the thanks button ). I was actually leaning toward this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834225. I'm still trying to determine the difference between it and the one you linked. The main purpose will not be really to flash any roms (she likes the stock), but to resolve some minor issues she has w/ her device. For example, her market fc's every time it updates - it's getting old to have to uninstall updates before she can even access the market. So I'm wanting to root so I can use TB to freeze the market updater.

Aha...see this is the stuff I need to learn - I simply used that term b/c it's what was in the reboot option. So it sounds like "fastboot" is the same as Downloading mode on my vibrant, correct? In other words, roms can be flashed via either clockwork or a usb connection to a computer while the device is in fastboot...?
I need to find a tutorial that explains the basics for the mt4g. It's a pretty different animal than my vibrant. I'm creating my own flashable mods for my vibrant, yet I pick up my wife's mt4g and I'm back to square one. Fruustratting!
If you already flashed it, Power Off > Hold Vol Down + Power until booted > Vol Down to recovery and select

Bootloader

Can someone help me get into bootloader? I was able to get into it perfectly fine up until the point where I followed efrant steps to do a factory reset and I flashed TWRP 2.6.1.0 now, I can't even get into the bootloader holding the down volume key and power key
can u get into recovery?if not does the phone even turns on?if u can get into recovery just do "adb reboot bootloader"(this work also while android is running/booting).

Phone does not boot after OTA (rooted phone) URGENT

Hi all,
As mentioned in the title, an update from LG came for my 802 and suddenly, it booted and entered TWRP.
Now, it always goes back to TWRP. Anyone knows how I can solve this or boot normally again?
Thx,

Use the terminal command if you can't use ADB... might work?
That's what I did, because AT&T stops giving you the option to not update after a couple times, and then I got stuck like you.

i did use the terminal and got into the boot loop.
Cannot perform any operation trough command because it gives me an error saying that the adb shell is error closed.

I'm not sure what happened for you, because the terminal command worked for me... maybe you mistyped it, or maybe you had a slightly different problem or something. Not sure.
Guys,
I finnaly managed to have my device working.
Trough ADB shell and then trough ADB I was able to copy a downloaded ROM (FLEX rom) to the device and installed it.
After a couple of hours, all is OK.
THANK YOU ALL FOR THE HELP AND INFO!!! (PS: sorry for the caps)

Continual Boot to TWRP [T-Mo]

So for the first time in my history of Android's since the G1 I've finally bricked a phone. Apparently there was an OTA for the T-Mo devices and I managed to hamfist my notification and accept it.
Needless to say I'm now stuck permanently booting into TWRP. I've tried some various troubleshooting methods including doing what I thought was a successful sideload of the TMo-Stock-Rooted Rom. It showed a successful push and ran through the install but I got a message kicked back saying "No OS installed". Now I've seen other users receive this same message and after rebooting anyway they got their ROM to boot.
No such luck for me, after it reboots (post sideload install) it shows system as unmounted and then just boots back into recovery ad nauseum...I'm really at a loss here folks.
Have you already tried this?...

Hadn't tried it previously but I just attempted to run the ADB command and it still boots into TWRP. I'm not sure if those commands worked or not however. I got a big wall of text in terminal after the second command.
FWIW, on every reboot System is unmounted (Data & Cache remain mounted) but I can check it. Seems that it's irrelevant whether its checked or not.
Tried a sideload using the Stock Rooted 110G image and still nothing. Sideload appears to go, and install goes through without error but reboots only into TWRP with System unmounted.

I can get it to shut off and stay off no problem. I'm on OSX at the moment and likely won't be able to get to a PC until the 9th. I'll definitely give the LG Flash tool method a try when I can.

Haha I hear you. I moved recently and the apt I'm in doesn't have ethernet drops so I had to order up a PCI wireless nic card =\ I'll dig around for the LG flash tool guides and see what I can learn.

brother I feel your pain. But when you get everything all situated I will tell you the easiest way to install a backup recovery program. It is an app in the App Market called free GEE... One click and bam you have a backup lol.. You may want to use freegee to make sure twrp is installed right.. It will just over write all the files and correct any wrongs... Freegee.. Remember that!!

No worries friend! I almost went crazy last night trying to find a fix!! Here what fixed mine!
You need to be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS when typing this in:
Go to Advanced in TWRP and run Terminal
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit go
after it pushes through again type:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
then hit enter and reboot.

Are those commands pushable through ADB? For whatever reason when I get to the Terminal Command through TWRP it wants me to navigate to a different directory and there's no command line to type things in. I've always been a CWM flash a .zip kinda guy so digging into ADB is all new for me.

Ran the terminal side commands, got to LG Splash and we're sitting there now. We'll see how long it sits or if it's a boot loop.
**EDIT**
10 minutes sitting at the LG splash no go. I managed to snag an interim wifi adapter for my desktop so I'm going to try the Flash tool posted from earlier and see if it works.
Update
I was able to bring the phone back with those commands using adb thank you guys for your help.

Can't say for sure, I had seen some to run this way:

then the 2 lines of prompt. I'm stuck on a boot loop so I'm trying to get the Flash Tool method to work. I should have not messed with G2 in retrospect lol, way too little support and far too big of a PITA to bother.

This worked for me. I tried several other methods from other threads but could not complete them for various reasons.
This also is the simplest method as it installed the update without my having to download it again.

Did you have any driver issues? I'm stuck in the same situation booting just to ClockworkMod Recovery after an attempted OTA update. Can't connect to Win7 because driver can't configure properly even with the latest drivers installed. Connects file with my wife's working LG G2 so I know the drivers are right. Also tried to get into download mode with no luck. I'm stuck. Does anyone know how to get pass this?

OK. Finally got it working. Wish I had figured it out before I factory reset my phone. My main issue was the driver. Even though I had the right LG drivers installed, it just would not recognize it properly. Here is what I had to do after a failed device configuration.
- Go to Computer Management and find the failed device and Update Driver.
- Choose to manually select device and then select Have Disk.
- Find and select \Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LG VZW United Driver\64BitADB\lgandadb.inf (Tried the other xxxadb.inf files but none worked)
- When the list of devices is presented, scroll down and select LGE Mobile Server Single ADB Interface
Your device should now be recognized by adb. Follow the steps provided by others above in this thread and you should be good to go. Worked for me. Good luck.
Thank you all for the great knowledge base. Saved me $500!!! ::good:

I don't get what I did wrong. And when I said the command windows closed I meant step3 ran through and when it finished it closed out all of the existing command prompts including the runmefirst prompt and then the V20 got stuck into the Verizon logo.

I actually just browsed the guide so I could point him towards the part where you discuss flashing "boot2.img" and I didnt see it. Did you remove it?

5) During reboot you will get a Red Triangle with a "!" inside, this is normal (First boot after flashing SuperSu will show the Red triangle twice.Wait for system to boot (this will take awhile). It may appear like the system has frozen but it has not. JUST WAIT!
*****VERIZON USERS******
It has come to my attention that some users have encountered abnormally long first boot time(over 20 minutes before first time setup)
To resolve this issue:
Boot into bootloader by pulling the battery and reinserting it and holding VOL- and phugging in the phone. then typing:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot2.img
fastboot reboot

well i learned where the active adb directory is (C:\adb) and i moved everything there but my phone bootlooped on the same part. For some reason the people who know how to do this are being irritating and giving very vague answers. If you find out how to fix then pm me cuz im probably going to stop trying until a new method is released by a nicer dev

I got stuck on the 3rd step too man. I left it overnight hoping it would finally start up only to wake up and find it still vibrating. What I ended up doing was flashing the NRD 90M Modded not so stock ROM and was finally able to get my phone to boot up after 5min and it has been working great since. Heres the link. https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/vs995-vzw-nrd90m-modded-notsostock-rom-t3525864

I wasn't really being vague. I told you exactly what you needed to do. Another method isn't coming out any time soon. And the reason why I may not seem "Nice" is because people don't know how to read a thread through where stuff like this IS ALREADY ANSWERED MULTIPLE TIMES. If you don't even know how to input commands through fastboot(bootloader) you really should NOT have tried this. Thats why I stopped posting replies to you. Im sorry but just read the thread...

yea i know how to input bootloader commands now sorry about that i was being a little slow. I just wanna know if i could flash boot2 cuz on the op it only says to do that after it goes into twrp and i flash supersu then if it gets stuck in boot. Mine got stuck when it was rebooting before i could put the adb reboot recovery thing. So i just want to know if i can do the boot2 command before flashing supersu or if i can just reboot to recovery and flash a rom? Sorry for being rude I was just irritated in failing to root.
At this point you can just install roms. The boot2.img is mainly for first boot situations after the bootloader flashing.

What I did is went back to step 3, the step on how to install TWRP, put the rom on an sd card and then flash from there.
