Been running pac rom, tried installing a custom ROM that was almost stock kitkat for Verizon. Forgot to wipe i think, and now i have been screwed since. Stuck in boot loop. Factory reset can be reached, but screen goes black everytime and doesnt allow me to get into TWRP. Only thing accessiable is download mode. But device is not recongized in adb, only when its bootlooping. But it is recognized in devices and printers in bootloop. New computer also, no RSA authentication, while in bootloop ive tried to adb boot recovery commands, but no authorization. Im completly stuck and have been for days, ive read so many posts but everything i have found doesnt match all my problems. and most people dont read the entire post or problem before submitting a dumb answer, which is a duh i tried that kind of thing thanks for nothing. SO PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN THINK OF ANYTHING ELSE. IM GOING CRAZY OVER HERE AND LOOSING MY MIND> WHO EVER CAN HELP ME, IS GOD AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TOP DOG GENIOUS>
When you get to the white Factory Reset screen, pressing the power button 3 or 4 times won't get you back into TWRP?
Well u press it once to give conform option, and the second time, turn it black
lg flash tool
that doesnt work because it thinks its got the latest version. I need some real help bad, its so hard not having my phone. This would be easy if my laptop didnt get stolen that had authorization to do cmd commands. Anyways, really need some brain power put togeaher on this on and \fast. Is anyone down with maybe skyping with me, to visually see whats going on and troubleshoot it as if you were remoting into a computer. Just tell me what to do!!!> Please you have no idea how much I would love someone if they did. Its been driving me balls for weeks now. I NEED SOMEONES HELP

So flashing .tot did or did not allow you to boot? When you say you can't get data this may be because you're efs partition has been wiped, in which case there is nothing you can do but send it back.

so you're saying that when we backed up our efs it was pointless?
theres a way to restore it, as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451390
if youre stuck in fastboot, then you can fix that, and in theory if you still have(had) custom recovery, you could in theory flash an efs restore, one made from the skeleton of another. you can also, maybe, use adb to clunk it over, but im still working on that one. my phone has the restored .tot and it crashes right after boot and the freegee app(SOMEONE TELL THE DEV HE'S RTARTED) needssss internet to open, and it is IMPOSSIBLE. to connect to internet with a bad efs, wifi will not work, along with the radios. so to sum up my situation, i have a phone that turns on, turns back off, and repeats.

Well yes of course if you made a backup, then restore it. I was assuming that this was not the case.
Is there any way for you to get into recovery? I have not ran into any problem like the one you are encountering, and by the looks of it if a .tot wasn't able to fix it, your best bet may be to send it in and have someone look at it.
Stuck in fastboot mode
I have no clue what happened to my LG G2 (Sprint LS980). I rooted it just fine and installed AutoRec to install TWRP and it said everything was fine and when it restart it was stuck in fastboot mode. I've tried everything that I've read online and Youtube but no success. It won't go into recovery mode or download mode. I tried to do a hard reset but it said there was an error and it goes right back to the fastboot screen. I have, however, gotten my PC to recognize it as a harddrive (D. When I hold the Up key and plug in the USB it says download mode but the screen goes black, BUT my PC recognizes it as a Qualcomm MMC USB Mass Storage drive. What do I do now?
Hi guys, so I flshed a wrong kdz file on my D801 wind canadian variant, no my phone stuck on LG logo boot screen with green led, i have no fastboot mode, no twrp recovery, I can just access default recovery to hard reset, when i try to enter download mode by pressing volume+ while pluging the phone to pc, it goes just to frst screen, i mean the download mode logo with blue dots!!!!

bud same thing happened to me. and unfortunatly there is no fix for this. everytime i turned my phone on i got the little android guy then it would stay on lg screen with blue and green LED. try download mode it goesto the first screen of little blue dots.
since warrenty should not be able to tell anything about root or etc. i sent it in. in the mean time i called my carrier company and they sent me out a new phone for 35$. but i have to send old one back wether it ges fixed or not.
sorry bud but there is no way back from that. even tho your computer gives it a port its not fully booting so you cant flash anything..... here is one last thing you can try................ this could be your only hope.......it didnt help me but it might work for you...

if you manage to install the driver the rest should go easy.
It's weird, on some systems it wont install the driver properly(adb) but google nexus driver installs fine.

Ultra brick G2 vs980! T_T
Good night lords of XDA!
I come to you after exhausting all that I could find and try, hope you can enlighten me, you would save a new G2 that is about to become a gleaming brick:
Summary: I have in hand a Verizon LG G2 vs980, with the intention of using it in Spain. After a bad flash a ROM for a different model, you could not access recovery mode or download mode, only fastboot.
Thanks to this great tutorial, I could flash by ADB and fastboot files an official ROM for this G2, but after a correct process, the G2 restarted and only shows "Security error" before shutting ...
I still do not have access to recovery or download, and now not to fastboot. Only allows me to access the screen "Factory reset", but in doing nothing changes.
How could re-flash a recovery or something like that allows me relive my G2?
Thank you very much in advance. You are my salvation. XD
PS: I apologize for any clerical error or misused term. I do not usually write in English.

Hello together!
I just got my new LG G2 D802 32gb today and wanted cyanogen on it. Well it was already rooted by the pre-owner so i just installed TWRP BUT I made the mistake to install it for D801 instead of D802. (Too hasty )
Well when the phone rebooted after the installation it stucked in fastboot and I was starting to freak out. I was searching for a solution but I just came from Apple to Android so its all kind of new. I saw this post and tried it.
reddit.com/r/lgg2/comments/1soiyj/stuck_in_fastboot_mode_need_help/
I erased the data as described. Worked just fine. Then I tried to flash the new data but it didnt work and after a while I restarted the phone (Why not I thought, usually always helps)
Well now the screen is, and stays, black. And it wont Turn on. No matter how long I press the Power Button. Also I cant access the Download nor the recovery mode. So I cant restock. When I connect the phone to my laptop it shows a crapload of drives on my laptop. From E to S everything. 15 Local Disks overall. Well just one of them is accessable. E:. On the drive is one single folder: Images. But its secured so I cant add anything to it (I hoped I could add the Images I just erased eralier manually). 63.9MB is its capacity.
Neither fastboot nor ADB can access the the phone now.
Pressing the Power Button of the phone while connected reconnects it to the computer.
I dont know what to do I am completely helpless :crying:
I appreciate every help!
Thanks!

Hello, I am a new member and I'm having a hard time trying to fix my phone.
Currently, I can't go into any mode. I have neither fastboot or download mode.
I also can't get into my twrp through factory reset since it tries to reboot my phone.
However, whenever it tries to reboot, I get error: Boot certification verify and the screen goes dark.
I have tried to solve it by following this thread:

By that do you mean you can't even get to the factory reset screen at all? Or you do get there but when you select the option to reset, it simply reboots at that time?

I get there and selecting reset reboots the phone. However, an error about phone ceritication verify pops up
If you have access to a Windows machine, plug it in while on that dark screen and open device manager. Does anything show up relating to Android, Qualcomm, etc? If need be, unplug it while watching device manager then replug. Is the device showing up at all and if so, what's it called?
edit: also try long pressing power for 15 seconds to turn off the device completely. Then short press power (2-3 secs) as though restarting the phone from an off state. Does it boot into the OS then or no?

Hmm, that's not so good. Most of the people who've been experiencing this have accepted either willingly or unknowingly, the new vzw ota update. But others have still been able to boot into the OS normally. It's booting to system from recovery that's been the only problem for them which makes sense considering aboot and boot were updated with the ota. That will break the loki <>TWRP connection since we need a downgraded aboot (JB) and a patched kernel for proper function. Hence the secure boot error.

I would hold tight for awhile and see if anybody else has a more simple plan because I do not. The only thing I can think of with no boot, no recovery, no download mode AND no bulk mode, is to try and force bulk mode as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
...then use Linux to fix as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
(though I would ammend those intructs slightly to include the dd writing of boot and laf also to restore download mode)
...and then use a restored download mode to return to stock using a vs980 tot as described here:

An unfortunately long and less than simple path back to a booting phone, especially for someone new to root. Again, hopefully somebody else can offer up a better plan.

I was in exact same spot, until I got into the dd / phone partitions part under Linux. AN ERROR THERE COULD BE FATAL.
Please be very careful, look for a thread on recovering from "Secure Boot Error" (havent found one specific for that yet) Alot of people had success using the Linux method, I did not (vs980) probably because of a typo (keyboard error, mine) using the dd command.
I'm not saying don't try it, I AM saying use extreme care make no keyboard errors

Thanks for your reply but I absolutely have no idea how to get into the dd / phone part using linux. I'll continue to look for more threads close to my problem but I have no clue as of yet.
