[Q] LG G2 stuck on TWRP menu bootloop - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi . I purchased a used LG G2 and didnt know that teamwin was installed or if it was stock or rooted.
I noticed an update available and downloaded the same, post which my phone restarted and is now in a bootloop of Team Win recovery Projects menu.
I am not able to get the phone to boot Android anymore
Request all of my senior colleagues to help me as I am a total Newbie and tried to get it fixed from the LG service center but even they couldnt do it as the process is getting stuck at the same place each time.

Recovery-Mode
Can u acsses recovery menu?
Turn phone completly off then hold volume down and home button when screen shows LG then again volume down and homebutton.
Then it should popup a white screen that says Hard Reset.
Now press Home button twice.
Now recovery should load.
Now u select wipe data factroy reset and swipe to right.
Now select reboot device.

What carrier? AT&T, VZW, TMOB.....

Hello.. I am afraid that in panic i might have formatted everything with TWRP. That might include a rom file.
I tried the power volum buttom---- Got to the white screen----pressed power button to confirm format----It rebooted and got me to the same Team win screen
I also tried putting the following in the terminal command but ended up stuck at the LG boot screen Logo
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Yes I did. It asked me to reboot, so I did. and after reboot it gets stuck at the LG boot Screen logo.

OK..Do i also need to download some rom along with that? And will it also remove the Team WIN RP?
I want a clean back not normal recovery with nothing extra installed.

that should put you to the moment before you took ota if you want stock you have to use this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 after you get out of bootloop

If teamwin is actually loading you could just flash a rom through there?

To go back to completely stock you will have to do it with a kdz, there is a guide here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2625044
Otherwise the easiest solution would to be to flash a flashable rom either stock or aosp, there are now stock kitkat versions flashable but for me to help you with this i need to know what recovery version you are on and your phone variant.

I am having a similar issue, I've wiped my stock rom using TWRP, unfortunately the Rom I was trying to install is corrupted and now I am stuck. For some reason Mount and ADB sideload options arent doing anything for me i.e. my phone does not show up on my PC.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ok so the phone does show up under device manager but Windows is complaining that the drivers arent installed. I know the drivers are installed because I used the same machine to root the phone not too long ago via ADB and everything worked fine. I've tried downloading drivers from LG site and re-installing them but for some reason the phone still isnt getting recognized under device manager

Did understand some part of . Is this KDZ file a ROM? And how and where should I paste these to Install the ROM?
If TeamWin is failing to install the rom, Is there any other way to flash the rom?

Ok one of your problems will be that that version of TWRP is very outdated now and has a lot of issues,
Start by downloading this version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449679 and flashing it via twrp that will give you version 2.7.0.0
(You can use adb to push this file to your phone to flash or alternatively, the easiest method is either a usb otg cable or otg flashdrive then you can just put the files you need on flashdrive and plug into your phone).
Then if you want a stock based rom and don't wont to follow the instructions from the link i gave you the other day you can install this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505682
Just follow the instructions on the page, this ROM is basically completely stock with some added tweaks.
The issues you have been facing with the rom installs failing will most likely just be caused by the outdated version of twrp you are using.
Hope this helps and good luck. ​

Stuck in clockworkmod recovery! AT&T LG G2

I need some help here. My wife excepted an update the other day on her AT&T LG G2 and now it is stuck in clockworkmod recovery v6.0.4.4. I can not get it to go into download mode or anything else other that recovery. There is no back up on the phone that I can re install. I can how ever issue command through adb. Can someone tell me how to use adb or cwm to re install the factory software or possibly a rom to get this phone back up and running for her?
What would be the best way to get it stock? I have searched the forums for an answer but nothing specifically for the LG G2 with this problem comes up.

Hello
Hi, Has anyone tried this yet? I been stuck for about 3 days at the recovery screen from an OTA. I kept trying to flash and flash roms and still nothing. I finally just tried to figure this out so I cleared cache and everything but not my sd. I was able to push a stock kitkat rom and installed everything necessary still stuck at the recovery So I enabled mount and put in the commands and now im Stuck at the LG splash screen, been on it for about 7 min. Wondering if I should still wait or what should I do? Thanks.

[Q] Malladus 1.2.5 stuck at boot.

I've heard ranting and raving about Malladus and I decided to flash it yesterday. It won't take the flash no matter what I do.
I've tried: Flashing 1.2.4, downloading both again to make sure it wasn't a download issue, using different gapps package, using a different lg apps package, using CWM, using TWRP, side-loading... ETC
Bottom line: My phone will not take the ROM. It flashes the LG logo and gets stuck at a black screen where the back-light is on but nothing is displayed on the screen.
I am an experienced flasher and I have no idea what is going on. I am backed up and can get into TWRP to restore so I am all good as far as not being bricked goes but I really want to try out this damn rom.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I am in the boat with you. I thought it was just me.
Same Black Screen issue
Did anyone have any luck resolving this? Ive tried with both twrp and cwm and same issue...?
Same problem on my Verizon model. Using twrp 2.6.3.3. Other roms work fine.
How long have you left it at the black screen? Sometimes a fresh load can take up to 10 minutes.
Also, the rom will work without gapps and lgapps, so try just loading the rom. I know you downloaded twice, but did you check the md5 sum either time?

I left it there for a good 15 minutes. I also had it plugged into my laptop. It kept detecting the phone as plugged in. Seems like it is stuck in a bootloop or something. I also tried installing only the ROM without the gapps and lgapps and had the same result. I also checked the MD5 sum and it matched. (I know I'm kinda hijacking this original post, but I think we are all having the exact same issue)

Can you restore your nandroid and flash say, CleanROM 1.0 or DigitalDream 2.1? OR try this:
1. Hold the power button until the device is OFF.
2. Download LG drivers to the PC (LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.11.1) and LG mobile support tool (B2CAppSetup).
3. Install these packages.
4. Plug in you USB cable into the phone but not the computer.
5. Hold volume up and insert the USB cable to the PC- the phone should boot to 'download mode'.
6. Open the support tool and click Options>Upgrade Recovery, follow the prompts.
7. At the first prompt indentify your phone using IMEI/ESN, then click OK
8. Let it do its thing, the phone will reboot and most likely have a bunch of error messages and some FC's. Just hit okay to all messages, the phone will settle after 2 minutes or so.
9. Download freegee from market and reflash recovery of your choice.
10. Make sure you have a ROM saved to the SD to flash
11. Use freegee to reboot to recovery
12. Once in recovery you can reflash the ROM as normal.
13. Reboot and Profit!
*$* Or you could go back to Stock and start fresh!
*$* BEFORE ANY FLASH ALWAYS STOP and MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP!
Good Luck and if you get stuck let me know

I was able to install the digital dream rom without any issue. At this point I think its the sequence I did everything. I did the latest ota before installing any Recovery. I used the loki method to install the recovery. In looking at all the roms, it appears that malladus may not be "loki patched" for people already on 12b? Other roms I have tried mention that so thats why I'm speculating this. I am by no means a developer so I might be out in left field on this one. I guess I'll stick with stock or another ROM for now until his next update.
It also looks like people are discussing this on the main ROM forum as well so hopefully it will work in the future.
Thanks again for the help and suggestions.

Wanted to share this if you haven't read it..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670
I had issues originally and had to flash back to 1.2.3.
What I ended up doing was switching to CWM 6.0.4.4 ( I was using TWRP 2.6.3.3).
His boot skipped the set up wizard as well, which was odd.
His was also the only ROM I ever got stuck on the fastboot screen while using twrp.
Try ( at your own risk obviously) flashing back to an older malladus (wipe all and boot till you get through the set up wizard),
Then back to recovery, do a wipe, without wiping the system partition, Data Cache and Davlik, and flash back to 1.2.5.
I didn't try it on 1.2.5. But that's how I got into 1.2.4.

Are you on 12B OTA? If so, that would be your issue. I took the 12B OTA and tried flashing Malladus and got the same issue you have. You can revert your phone to 11A and that should resolve your issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960 it will erase everything on your phone and go back to unroot.

[Q] Stuck on LG logo

I recently purchased a lg g2, the korean variant f320s, it was running kitkat with a lot of bloatware on top. I successfully rooted the phone and after that i found a cwm recovery installer for this version of the phone and i hooked up the phone and ran the installer on my pc, it finished installing and the phone rebooted into the custom recovery which was in chinese i went into a menu option and then pressed the back button on the screen and the phone instantly rebooted and got stuck at lg boot logo. Is there anyway to fix this? i have tried wiping cache, dalvik and factory reset from the recovery that i can access(chinese or something) but to no avail. I can access the download mode but my pc does'nt recognize the phone and this step is crucial for i guess installing the stock rom through lg flash tools. The phone however is recognized when im in recovery and i plug it in but it only shows as a drive that is faded out and entering it shows nothing. please help me i just got it two days ago

ALL FIXED
You are a legend!! Device back up and running.
Okay so I installed that same rom you did but the home/back/menu buttons weren't working so not wanting to muck around, I did some quick searching (which I should have done before >.<) and worked out how to get the Cloudy roms working on a korean device.
You need "Philz cloudy f320 recovery", the kitkat baseband and the rom. LINK
1 - Install the new recovery from zip and then boot back into recovery after this. You will now be greeted with philz recovery which is awesome.
2 - From here, proceed to install the rom as noted on the rom page.
This process worked for me for the Cloudy G3 V1.3 rom.
Thanks a lot for your help!! happy to return the favour! But i am hoping the above info already does that. :victory:

Good to know you got it working again i still cant figure out why this problem occurred in the first place why did the phone brick from the recovery when the recovery was working fiblne after? Also i can just get the new recovery over the one already on the phone without removing the previous one right? Thanks for the info im gonna try out the cloudy roms soon
I have no idea.. something to do with that chinese recovery I am guessing.. There are still a few issues I am going to address but for now my phone is 95% working.
The only issue is that if I try go into download mode, it still doesn't go to the second screen (All i get is the small blue dots). Bit of a pain because that's something nice to fall back on if you ever need to.
I'll search around and try and figure these out in the next week or two, but I am happy with what I have for the moment.
Yep, you literally install the new recovery over your current one and then you can restart phone back into your rom and then reboot back into recovery using an app or the button method.

First I tried installing the GApps .zip (got it with OpenGApps) with the recovery, but it said the package failed/is corrupt.
There's a recovery on the phone I don't recognize, so I decided to get TWRP.
Got the TWRP image and set up everything for ADB. (using this guide https://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-...tboot-with-drivers-on-windows-quickest-setup/ )
I am able to send the phone to fastboot mode via PC, but once I am there the device manager shows a yellow warning sign on the phone and it isn't listed anymore when listing the fastboot devices.
I guess it's because of missing drivers, but I already tried installing them manually etc.
Maybe I missed something or don't have the right ones? I really hit a wall here...
Thanks for any help!
Hello,
U can download twrp from here and folow guide: http://www. anzhuorom .com/jiaocheng/7310.html
If phone cannot boot to recovery, u should press volume up + power to reboot.
Gapps: Download Gapp full is ok
Ok I installed the Nubia drivers, installed TWRP and everything went fine so far, thanks!
But now after flashing the ROM (put it on the phone with ADB push, since there was no working ROM on it) the phone keeps getting stuck at the boot screen (nubia logo) when starting up.
I tried clearing system, caches etc. and reinstalling the ROM, but still stuck when booting up.
Any ideas?
I got this once. In twrp try to root the device again. Works for me.

I wanted to try that, but on the official Nubia site it wants me to register on some Baidu service to download the ROM.
I'd do it, but my Chinese is not exactly the best, so I don't know how to get through it.
Do you maybe have a mirror to a 2.10 download?

I don't have any backups sadly, I didn't expect the phone to crash like this.
Can you provide me with one of yours?
And what can the emergency tool do? I can't really work with this sadly :/

I can connect my phone to the PC, but only in TWRP or while it's "booting", since I can't start it up properly.
if u can connect, try use recovery tools.
My back up:

U should unrar and copy it to TWRP/BACKUPS/ in internal storage. wish it work /
I experienced the same problem with u. Tried to flash v216 rom from TWRP several times but it made the phone stuck on boot logo. Eventually I tried to flash via nubia emergency recovery and i copied the rom file to usb flashdisk and connect to the phone via usb otg before did the flashing process. After it finished you may boot normally again. To make google playstore works, you should download the full version of gapps. Don't try with nano or pico version. And flash it via TWRP. Hope it will help you.
that happened to me too, so after the rom instalation the reboot stucks in the boot logo, but if you go to the recovery and root the phone and then reboot it will boot normaly
Ok, I got the phone running again using the emergency recovery, got 2.16 on it now.
I also installed the GApps, but not a single Google application lets me log in.
I tried adding a Google account with in the Nubia settings as well, but upon clicking "create" it just doesn't do anything (same happens inside the Google apps).
Play Store doesn't even start at all.
I tried multiple packages of the GApps (mini and Full), and tried installing them one time with the app itself, and the other time with TWRP, same result...
I am currently downloading dhvminh's backup and will give it a try, I hope it works...
