(Help) LG G2 cracked screen/soft brick - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bottom half of the screen is cracked which makes it very difficult to " swipe to" do anything in TWRP. I locked my device and was unable to unlock with backup pin because the keyboard does not function properly. So I rebooted into recovery and accidentally wiped Calvin Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache. Rebooted phone and it's stuck in a boot loop. I tried using adb but I could not get it to swipe into adb sideload. I found that connecting the phone to my PC does open up /SDCARD/TWRP but there are no other folders in /SDCARD. I moved a ROM from my PC to the TWRP folder and was able to flash it but got stuck in boot loop. Tried flashing a different ROM and it shows a new loading screen but still stuck in boot loop. No other folders are being created to SDCARD.. Haven't had this pphone for more than a week.... Was thinking I could maybe flash a non touch TWRP or CWM to avoid having to swipe to get things done and use the hardware keys.. but why is it being stuck in boot loop after it says it successfully flashed the ROM.
I did flash the 30b file it says to flash prior to flashing the 2 custom lollipop ROMs in the tmo dev forum. Any help, links, advise would be much appreciated. Thanks.

[HELP] Can't get adb to work!

Heeelp
I tried to install Cataclysm ROM, and then it went into some sort of installer, after that I tried to reboot, but TWRP said it didn't have any OS?? So i tried to boot it up anyway? but nothing, just stucked on Google Logo. After that I tried to boot into TRWP agian. But then TWRP says "Mount Decrypt Data" and then i have to enter a password?? but i removed my pattern lock before flashing. Because i made a Nandroid and i read i had to remove the password before making a backup. But then i just press cancel. Then it says " Unmodified System Partition" "Swipe to Allow Modifications" and i do that. Now i have nothing on my SD card?? Then i thought i could flash stock through Fastboot/ADB, but now it won't see my device in ADB? I have updated my drivers, both by Google and Intel (Read they helped someone else) But nothing? so i cant retutn to stock and can't boot up.
Please help, highly appreciated
Some how i got i to reboot by an ADB command and then i could flash factory imgs and return to stock.
That very same thing happened to me the 1st time I tried to install Cataclysm. Somehow my SD card got wiped.
I had to start from scratch with the factory image.
I don't know what happened but I have since successfully installed Cataclysm.

OP2 soft bricked, can't access recovery, not recognized by laptop

Hey,
Very strange query but here goes. Rooted phone a while back and installed CM13 along with recovery. Was trying to update TWRP{ by downloading .img from their website, went to flashing, selected the file and hit recovery. Said it was succesful so attempted to reboot. Plugged in to charge and was charging but when I tried to switch it on, it was stuck in Cyanogen Bootloop (blue alien stayed on the screen for 10+ minutes). Tried rebooting to recovery by hitting power + volume down and instead of booting to TWRP, it takes me to a Cyanogen recovery screen where I see the following options:
Cyanogen Recovery.
- Reboot system now
- Apply update
- - -apply from ADB
- - -choose from emulated
- Factory reset
- - -system reset
- - -full factory reset
- - -wipe cache
- Advanced
- - -reboot recovery
- - -reboot to bootloader
- - -Wipe system partition
- - -view recovery logs
Here's what I tried as troubleshooting. Tried to do a system reset, factory reset and wiped cache and tried to restart my phone but no luck. Still stuck in boot loop with CM logo. Tried to reboot to bootloader but the screen is stuck with the 1+ logo for about 5 mins so gave up on that.
Basically, right now I can't access anything on the phone, can't find any way to reinstall a ROM and when I plug it into my Macbook, it is not recognised. So I'm screwed sideways. I had TWRP recovery set up so I have no clue how this happened but can anyone please help me with this.
If data isn't at risk try the Qualcomm recovery tool one the oneplus forum it's by nammand bhal (definitely butchered the name) but all data is lost and resets the phone to out of box conditions locked bootloader and Oos 2.2.1 so this is often a last measure (tool is Windows but may have Mac variant and the file is quite big)
My suggestion is to try to boot to bootloader again and flash TWRP
hmm mac book I don't have much experience with those
If you have a Windows pc you can use adb or on Mac if it has it. Also when it come to being found by a computer in recovery it should but again don't have a mac
CM13 replaced your TWRP recovery with Cyanogen Recovery.
Try to boot into fastboot by holding volume up+ power buttons. If successfull, flash TWRP Recovery, boot into it, wipe everything and do a clean install of the ROM.
Macbook won't detect your device unless it is booted up, in recovery or in fastboot mode.
Doesn't it detect while you are in CM Recovery??
Try selecting Apply Update and Update from ADB. It should detect the device atleast now. If yes, try sideloading.

I knew I would regret getting that macbook at some point
Borrowed a friend's PC and was able to flash TWRP recovery. Was then able to boot into it and do a clean install. Ended up installing Oxygen OS this time. Do you know why this issue occurred so I can research how to prevent it next time.

Actually I don't think the issue was with the Macbook since I have unlocked, flashed custom recoveries and sideloaded ROMs on several devices including OP2, OP3, Nexus 5, etc on mine. It might have been some accidental flashing error, which unfortunately ended up bricking your device.

[Mediatek] Moto E4 won't load into recovery or boot

Hey,
I have a moto e4 flashed with dotOS and TWRP, it ran out of battery yesterday, and on reboot refused to boot into the OS. My first reflex was to try booting into recovery, i managed to get into fastboot, but when i try to enter recovery it freezes on the TWRP splash screen.
I tried to reflash it, and although fastboot reports a successful reflash, It still freezes at the splash screen. I also tried to use the fastboot boot command to boot the recovery directly from memory, unsuccessfully.
For information, exact model number is XT1762.
If anyone has any ideas or experience with this issue i'd really appreciate some help !
Thanks

You need to repair your /data
Caution All your Data will be lost. Get a Backup first of all!
1) Go to wipe option in twrp.
2) Select Advanced wipe
3) Tick on to Data and Select Repair or Change file system option.
4) Click on Change file system.
Most of the rom support ext4. but in this time it gave some error.
5) Change the data system to exFAT option and re change option to EXT4.
6) That"s it bro :good::good::good:

[SOLVED] Unable to enter TWRP/Stock recovery and can't boot into system

Hi,
I have been using my P Smart (FIG-LX1) for a while with LineageOS 16 and decided to move on to Android 10. Installed LineageOS 17.1 (found it on this forum) and pph-Magisk 20.3 for root - it did work, but the system was unstable so i decided to try AOSP 10.0 instead. I entered TWRP, wiped cache,dalvik,system and data, flashed the ROM, gapps etc. It was advised to now flash stock recovery and use it to do a factory reset - and now i'm stuck here.
After flashing the recovery_ramdisk img the phone stopped being able to enter any recovery at all. The system itself does not boot (stuck on the "Your device has been unlocked (...) Your device is booting now..." screen forever), the recovery never appears (previously in the start screen with 'unlocked device' warning it used to suggest pressing volume UP to enter recovery, now it only shows "Your device is booting now"). As i can still access fastboot, I tried flashing TWRP again - the TWRP splash screen does appear, but the phone gets stuck on it. Also tried flashing another system's img - nothing changed.
Is there anything I can do or did i just brick it completely?
Thanks for help!
SOLVED:
Apparently running fastboot erase on system and userdata partitions made me able to boot into recovery/erecovery again. I do have another problem now, but it's not connected with this one so I will create another thread for that.
Could you try help me? I can't even get ADB to work anymore
