I have the ATT model g2. it was running android 4.2.2 and i rooted. i got an OTA notification yesterday so i unrooted it, and uninstalled busybox. and went ahead with the update. now, my phone does not turn on. you go to turn it on and the lg logo flashes for a second or two, then a black screen, if you look closely you can tell that the screen panel is still lit, but nothing shows up. It will not boot to download mode, and it does boot to the (stock LG recovery, i never had a custom recovery) recovery, but when i hit the power button 3 times to do the hard reset, i get the black screen again, and no boot. when i connect it to my computer, it gives me a bunch of popups saying that i need to reformat a drive before i can use it, somewhere around 15-20 of them? ive run out of ideas to fix it. any and all help is appreciated. would really like my g2 back, im back to my old phone which was a nexus 5 that has a terribly cracked screen, and i really like to get the g2 back rather than having to pay to get my screen replaced.

used gingerbreak on g2. Got superuser and everything was great. Now (don't know why) no splash screen, no recovery even holding down volume and power on boot, random screen blackout. tried to re-gingerbreak with no effect. tried hard reset with no effect. stuck in hell please help. phone is stock rom and has no modifications even has all bloat-ware.
p.s. initial problem upon booting screen black but have lights at bottom after stock boot sound hit power twice and phone is active like normal. now stuck like this after each boot and couldn't find anything about the problem after searching. I hope this hasn't been covered before. Any thoughts? I am at my wits end about to get out the light saber and take out my frustrations on the mutt
If your phone is this: http://www.htc.com/us/products/t-mobile-g2/ then you're in the wrong place.
After flashing Stock JB KDZ using FlashTool, my G2 became useless, when I boot my phone, LG logo shows up but LG Animation Logo doesn't show but there is LG sound and blue/green LED lights are flashing. In download mode, it doesn't show the usual "Firmware Update" screen, but it only shows stuck LG Logo, however I can see that my PC detects my G2 in download mode. In my homescreen, whenever I operate my phone and open some apps, the screen just randomly freezes but I can hear touch sounds when I touch the touchscreen panel. So what I always did is to lock the phone using either Power Button or Double tap to make it functionable again but whenever I will unlock my phone, a black screen comes out, and I have to lock and unlock the phone several times before I get the luck to see the lock screen and unlock the phone. I already flashed my phone several times to Stock JB using FlashTool, but still the problem exists. I also tried hard resetting my phone but the problems is still there. Do you guys have any ideas about my situation? Is it a hardware problem now? or it's just a software problem? Thanks. Hope you guys can help me. I will very much appreciate your help. :good:
Well im kinda new to the rooting thing but I believe my phone was only soft rooted. I was trying to install twrp but I got a dead android with a explanation mark or it would go to a black screen after the lg logo.i didn't know I was soft rooted when I was trying this. so after awhile I gave up. my phone still booted normally without trying to go into recovery. recently an update for android came out ( kitkat 4.4.2) so I decided to see if it would work. it restarted the phone to install the update and it got stuck in fastboot mode. I read somewhere you can install twrp from fastboot, so I tried to fix it and now it gets stuck on a black screen after the lg logo. Ive been searching for a solution for over a week and any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a Verizon lg g2 vs980 with the stock rom if that helps...
Oh and when I plug my phone in to my pc while the black screen is on drive letters F though T pop up and the F drive has an image folder in it with random files
Similar issue... no LG logo at all
I was successful in rooting then attempted to install TWRP. The phone turned off then turned on with the "android open stomach and !" icon... it shut off a few mins later.
Now, all I get is the buzz when you power it on and a black screen. Im not able to enter the recovery mode using any combination of buttons. I cant even see the LG logo!
LG Mobile Support Tool nor my computer will even recognize the device. Am I truly bricked beyond repair?
Got a brand new vs980 from Verizon with stock OTA 24A on it. I rooted and then used the KITKAT 24A OTA FREEDOM file from this thread to try and install TWRP 2.7. It ran, asked me if I wanted to boot into recovery. I chose yes. It appeared to have worked fine. However, now my phone just gives me the ERROR: boot certification verify screen. I've tried to get into download mode, but it never makes it past the first screen (dots). It never makes it to the screen with the progress meter and the usb icon. It seems to be properly bricked. Is this thread my only hope?
C'mon guys, this is a crisis. On my way to work this morning i had to listen to the radio! Like, with commercials and stuff.
Any luck? My phone is doing the exact same thing. I can't get into download mode or fast boot. The LG sign pops up, the error flashes for less than a second in the upper left hand corner then the screen goes blank and does nothing else until I hold the power button for 10 seconds or power button + volume down key, then it just repeats the LG sign and message all over again. We're screwed brotha
[SOLVED] I managed to get into custom recovery and restore. Not sure why switching to ART gave me this problem in the first place. Thread can be closed/deleted.

I need help with what to do...
I have a VS980 LG G2 (Verizon) running TWRP 2.8.1.1 and CloudyG3 2.0. I switched from Davlik to ART. I know first boot is supposed to take 10-20 minutes and depends on how many apps you have installed (I have a decent number, but I don't think it's overboard), but I'm well beyond 20 minutes now. It's sitting at the LG logo screen (not even the "Android is upgrading apps" screen or whatever I was expecting) and feels warm like it's doing something. I can't use the Volume - and Power button combo to get into recovery, only to hard reboot the phone. The blue/green LED is blinking slowly like a normal boot would.
How can I get into recovery? Once I do, I'll know how to restore, but is there a way to connect it to my Windows laptop and sideload a ROM so I can reboot into recovery and restore? Any help would be appreciated. I'm good at following tutorials to do stuff, but not well versed in adb/fastboot stuff where I would know what to type in.
