Hi everyone, I just bought a N5 yesterday (i was using a N4 for almost 2 years) and I unlocked my device using the Nexus Root Toolkit, flashed the latest TWRP, installed ParanoidAndroid as my main OS and everything was fine untill the next step...
I was an avid user of MultiRom on my N4, so I flashed MultiRom on my N5 and everything was fine, I even tried to flash the official MiUI as a secondary OS but i got some errors and I just deleted that listed rom, no biggies... after that I booted into PA and flashed a custom kernel.
First, I flashed Franco's using his tool, and everything went smooth. I even restarted the device like 2 or 3 times while i was installing the usual apps (xposed, changed the font etc), the problem started when I downloaded the HellsCore kernel app from the playstore and flashed the kernel, after that, every time I try to boot my device it gets stuck on a black screen, it doesnt even show the Google logo with the unlocked icon at the beginning, it just gets stuck at that point.
My guess was that the Hellscore kernel had some issues with Multirom, and I started the fastboot recovery via ADB and flashed Franco's Kernel again... nothing happened, I still got a black screen.
I tried flashing the entire rom again (PA) and the same, black screen.
I also tried installing the original TWRP (not the MultiRom modded TWRP) and guess what??? I stilll got the same black screen.
The only way to get past thu it is to disconnect my device from USB, press power for 10 secs and after that i have to press power+volup+voldown.
That gets me to the fastboot. If I try to boot to the OS from there, i get a black screen. If I try to boot into the recovery, it boots ok.
The only way to boot into ParanoidAndroid is using the Nexus Root Toolkit and using the Franco's Kernel (r57) to boot TEMPORARY into the OS.
I dont know what else can I try, can someone please give me some advice??? Please. D=
Thanks in advance!!!

This is kind of a long read but thanks in advance for bearing with me.

Recently as of 8pm this evening I attempted to install a Faux Custom Kernel from a zip in my root storage using the CWM Recovery interface. From what I could tell, while I was watching the screen, the files unpacked and installed correctly. Before doing all this I researched the proper kernel and method of installation. Simply put, after the installation the phone rebooted and flashed the SAMSUNG logo (no cyanogenmod avatar) and then the screen went solid black. It will load into Odin mode as well as CWM Recovery successfully. I have cleared my data/caches and tried to plug it into my computer to try to flash a different kernel with another zip but it hasn't worked due to my computer not properly installing the MTP drivers. When I turn the phone on the logo pops up with no boot animation what-so-ever and the bottom buttons work but the screen is always black.

Try to flash back the original kernel, if not working, wipe cache/dalvik cache/data/system then reflash the rom.
Solved
I have solved the problem. Basically what I have done now is unrooted the phone. I, using Odin3 v1.85, flashed the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 Stock Rom image file and then the CWM Recovery. Next I flashed the insecure bootloader and from there got back CM11 with a custom kernel.
Hey guys! So I've had a Note, a Note 2, and now have the TMobile LG G2. All of which, I've rooted, ROMed and had my fun with, but for a week, this issue has brought my fun to a screeching halt. I hope someone can help.
I just rooted my G2 while in 4.2.2, intending to install a KitKat ROM while maintaining root access. Looking for a quick way to add custom recovery, I backed up my stock recovery using Flashify, and also using it, I installed the latest TWRP for my phone. After installation I got a black screen that says:
[830]fastboot mode started
[880]udc_start()
and I have no options. Thankfully I can just hold power to reboot my phone normally so I'm not softbricked. But I get the same screen any time I boot into recovery. And when I restored my stock recovery through flashify I got the black screen with the android mascot on his back with the red exclamation mark. I tried flashing TWRP, and Philz through Flashify and I get the "fastboot" screen again. Can someone please help? Thanks so much in advance.

If you still have the problem, a dude from autorec built me a package to get unstuck (without losing data), The package was made for my IMEI (Tmobile d801) PM your IMEI and ill reply with the package.
Let me preface from saying I've had this phone and flashed countless ROMs on it.
Also the power button died on it (fast reboot etc problem) and since I had already ordered my Nexus 5 I just decided to rip the button off and use it for the few weeks until I got my new phone.
Now that its been a while I decided to see what I could do with it and wanted to boot. It wouldn't boot and was stuck at the loading screen for a good hour. So I went okay I'll just decide to use Odin and bring it back to stock. Followed the guide here to the T and 3 separate times all that happens is the phone is stuck at the S boot screen. Tried both stock roms posted.
Now since I don't have a power button I can't get into recovery (which I'm assuming is wiped but I have the Odin recovery ready to flash but whats the point?)
I tried adb/fastboot and the phone isn't recognized.
Any suggestions? Currently stuck at the boot logo for 1hr 25min. I'm aware of wiping the cache but I don't know how to do that without recovery.
Edit: So I opened the sucker again, got some foil and shorted the power button contacts and actually got to the stock recovery and did a wipe of the data and cache. Now booting fingers crossed. If this doesn't work at least I know I can get into recovery and install TWRP and a custom rom and see if that boots. However if this is a go then I'm good (only want it t run Perktv)
Edit2: So I couldn't get anything to install with TWRP (tried 3 different roms) so I went to the other recovery (Philz?)
Was able to install SlimKat (was using SlimBean when I was using the phone) and was finally able to install it... now its in a boot loop.
So I guess back to fully wiping (again) but I remember with these phones you had to do the wipe 2x which I didn't do. God I'm so spoiled with the Nexus.
Off to do that and see if that helps.
Edit3: Worked!! Woohoo
My phone is rooted and still running 4.4.2 with bloat removed. The other day I decided to install TWRP Manager and upon opening it up, it gave me an option to install TWRP v2.8.5.0. So I installed it and my phone would not boot back up, just stuck in TWRP. So I found this zip file LG_G3_Flash2FixStuckRecovery.zip on XDA that allowed my phone to boot back up. But now at least once a day it reverts back to TWRP and is stuck there until I install the zip again. Anyone know how to stop it from doing this?
Ive been having similar issues with my d852 and find it helps bigtime to stay away from the newest versions of twrp until they are bug free. I installed 2.8.6 yesterday and my Phone would not restart at all or it would do what yours is doing. I'm not saying that it is definitly a TWRP issue, but I am saying that once I installed 2. 8.4 the issue was gone completely. If you try going back a couple updates to an older version and it helps let me know as I'm kind of curious
HOW did you get into recovery. I got 2.8.6.1 & I do the power + vol down button thing and it doesn't take me to recovery.

On my LG G2 VS980 I lost my TWRP recovery by trying to flash CWM Touch. Now when it boots into recovery I see a black screen with some tiny writing that instantly disappears back into a black screen and stays there until I hold power down for about 15 seconds. Originally I had stock 26A (KitKat), rooted with Stumproot and used Autorec to put TWRP on and that worked fine. Then I flashed CyanogenMod 12.1, that worked fine. Today I decided since I had CyanogenMod, I would try out their Touch recovery instead of the older TWRP. I downloaded Flashify and the latest CWM Touch recovery and downloaded Flashify and flashed the recovery with no error messages. I gave it root permission (the built-in CM root permission) and then booted into the mess I have now. I have tried to flash TWRP, but it does the same exact thing- same for trying CWM regular (non-Touch) recovery flash. None of the button combinations except power + up buttons do anything except boot into the regular phone or they boot into the broken recovery that shows the white writing that turns to the black screen of death. I tried going into settings and turning the developer settings on that says Update Recovery When Updating ROM, but that doesn't change anything. I also tried using ROM Manager, but it never worked flashing, even before. (It still does the same thing, it acts like it flashes, says its successful, then the recovery is the same. Useless.)
One thing that is odd is that I tried to use Autorec again. I downloaded the latest version from Play Store and when I tried to flash recovery with it it told me my phone was not supported- that it only works on VS980 model!?! That IS my model. So that's the gist of it. I really would appreciate any help at all. I love my phone.
