Hello everyone. I recently just recieved my ATT LG G2 in the mail, and since I really didn't like the OS it had I wanted to root it. Anyway, I rooted it, installed twrp, and i tried to install cm10.2 but that didnt work. I then did somethings and re-booted my device into stock LG G2. Then, a notification popped up telling me of a software update that was avaliable (MY LG G2 was already on 4.4.2 so i assumed this was for android 5.0 or something) I clicked update and now I am where I am now. My phone just goes through a loop showing the LG logo, then Showing the LG logo with "security error" under it, and then it goes to black and restarts that whole thing. The thing is though, when I go in to the Factory reset screen and press the power button twice to start the process, it goes back to twrp and when i navigate to reboot to system, the whole process just starts over again. Please if there is anyone knowledgeable on this subject, I REALLY need your help to be able to use my phone again. I am very new to the whole rooting process so this is something i dont know how to fix. Please help im begging you!!!
P.S: another thing to note is that, out of panic, i formated my phone's data from the wipe menu and thats how this all happened.

no need to panic...
1: from twrp format/wipe data system cache leaving internal (assuming you have stuff stored like pictures and etc)
2: sideload cm11 or any other rom for your model(assuming d800 here)
or
1: goto download mode and flash tot (reflash stock lg software). will loose everything on phone.
and do shutdown your phone properly to save battery till you download cm11 or tot.
via twrp choose shutdown and dont plug the phone
via power button looooooong press

What problem you're in?
well I am stuck in twrp, and can't use the terminal because of twrp 2.6.3.2 not responding to touch on the bottom half of the screen. My screen isn't broken. And I made the mistake by taking the OTA while rooted.

Okay, so just today I was looking through some articles and saw that Android 4.4.4 was able to be downloaded for the Moto G, I have a rooted Moto G, so I know that I can't install the OTA updates without reverting back to stock.
So it was early in the morning, I was still tired and not thinking strait; and I forgot that I couldn't install the OTA updates without reverting; So I made an idiotic mistake and used the settings update method to download the new version..... so now I am stuck in a boot loop because when ever I get to the Clockworkmod recovery, it says it can't complete it and it reboots my phone. Then the phone detects the phone didn't update and it goes into recovery. This just keeps happening over, and over, and over again,
See, the thing is, I would revert back to the stock, but I can't install the stock onto the internal SD because the phone reboots before I can actually get the stock zip onto the phone... so I'm stuck at this point, and I really don't know what to do... and I really don't think there is much I can do at this point.
Here Is My Phone Info:
Model: XT1031
Clockworkmod Recovery Version: v6.0.4.7
Can you turn off the phone with the power button and then boot in to recovery?
If that works try deleting the update zip from /cache directory with cwm.

I've already tried this, It hasn't worked the three times I've done it. I have got it to stop rebooting, and I've got it to the original recovery. The 4.4.4 update isn't showing up anymore though. My battery is always at 1% battery now too.... so now I have another problem.

Leave it plugged in for a few hours and then fastboot flash the stock firmware for your model number.
Unless someone else knows an easier way to get you going.
So, I am fairly new to rooting and flashing roms, but I have done it successfully a few times. This past time, I flashed Cloudy Flex and everything was fine until my messaging was not working. After a quick google search I found a solution that said I needed to purge my internal memory cache and relfash the rom. I took this as wiping my internal memory and I went in to recovery to wipe everything before I flashed. When I got back into recovery, however, my rom was no longer there. I then made the mistake of rebooting my only to find that it can not get passed the LG logo. I also am unable to turn the phone off or enter recovery using the power and volume button. Any advice is helpful as I am stuck. When I attempt to enter either recovery or download mode, the screen remains black and the LED flashes red.

If you can't access recovery or download mode then your phone has become an expensive paper weight. You should take it to a service centre for a final verdict.
Hey XDA.
Before you asked, yes, I used the search tool.
I'm having trouble recovering my D800 LG G2 from being a brick. The situation is, I was running the Euphoria 5.1.1 rom, with TWRP and root status. I went to reset the phone through the settings, which began my list of problems. While it was rebooting, it kept flashing the TWRP splashscreen, and I had to turn it off and go into the recovery manually. *NOTE* at this point, the phone was not reset, it's almost as if I just turned it off and on. I went into TWRP, and wiped the phone. I think this is where I made the mistake. I did an advanced wipe and wiped everything but internal storage, instead of just doing a regular wipe, because I'm a dumbass. So now, My phone is stuck on the LG logo when I turn it on, followed by a black screen. The usual unbrick methods aren't working because my download mode is not working. When I try to go into download mode, the main window on the phone pops up, but a window on the top left saying "security boot error". My computer will recognize it, but nothing will show up in the port, and I'll only see the qhusb_bulk in the other devices.
I have no idea what to do, and I would really love some help and suggestions.

Can you get into download mode? if so just reflash stock.
sorry, i can't put a link here because i don't have 10 posts, but if you tipe in youtube search ''How to Unbrick or Restore the LG G2 ATT Version'' you will get a rootjunky video which helped me to unbrick my phone and back to stock rom. There you will also find some usefull links.
If you can get into download mode this will save you each time. I have had to flash mine a few times while soft bricking it. Its mega fun when you hard brick it. Good luck.

Hi everyone.
I have an LG G Flex 2 (H955) that suddenly went on a fritz. It used to be rooted fine, it was on default firmware, 10 something (wouldn't OTA due to rooting), no issues, but as I am a heavy user, enabled multiuser, had a bunch of apps installed and running it started to slow down on occasion, but nothing unexpected. Anyway, few days back, it shut down on its own while I was typing a message and the phone entered bootloop - on it's own. I decided to cut my losses and did the factory reset the hardware way, it booted up, did the "optimizing apps thing", got to welcome screen and - froze - then just restarted. It's been doing that ever since. Sometimes it boots all the way and then freezes and starts, sometimes it gets stuck on LG logo, sometimes even boots and works for a minute or two but still freezes and reboots.
I can access Download mode, and HW factory reset. I flashed several stock ROMs I found with LG flash tool 2014. It goes without a hitch, boots up, again gets to the welcome screen and reboots. I tried to to the dd cmd way to flash the only system.img I found online, but I get a security error at boot. It gets fixed when I flash the stock ROM again with flash tool. I am at my wits end. I have no warranty, I have no backed up original dump. With my limited knowledge I have somewhat of a hunch that one of the partitions might be corrupted as it boots most of the time but as it tries to write or read something from somewhere (hence showing the Welcome screen) it dies.
Would anyone have a suggestion as to what I might try next, or had a similar experience?
Thank you all very much in advance for any help.
Have you tried this tool with the appropriate image?

Hi and thanks for the tip. However, no, I have not tried this method as my device is H955, International version, and I am not keen on messing up the phone worse then it already is.
I will look it up in more detail, but as far as I can see it only pertains to the H950 (ATT version)
Edit: I looked it up in detail, and the developer removed the H955 support as there is a KDZ for it and he claims the .kdz is a much better option - however - .kdz does not work for me. It flashes the rom all right, both in Normal and CSE Flash modes, but the problem persists. Turns on (if I'm lucky), freezes, reboots and so on.
D'oh, didn't see the H955 part. :-|
Sorry to hear you are still stuck, can't offer much more unfortunately.
I know one of the flashing modes does a reset, but maybe a reset after the flash might help.. i think it's, from powred off, down plus power until the lg logo then release and then hold power on its own until you get to a recovery screen where you can reset.
you probably already tried that I'm guessing though. taken memory card out if you're using one?

Hi and thanks for yet another tip. However, you guessed right - I tried everything - reset from the recovery, before the flash, after the flash, in the middle of flash, with memory card, without memory card, tons of times - you name it, I've tried it. And still, it boots up (sometimes, though), freezes and go bye-bye. I'm completely out of ideas. If I could somehow rebuild partitions from Download mode, or use ADB, or push some image I found and flash it directly, but there is no way to push files to phone in Download mode (and 5.1.1. disabled external memory, so that is out of the option too).
It seems I'm stuck for now. I'm wondering if the repair guys have some tricks up their sleeves, perhaps with those hardware boxes, jtag something or other...
im on same boat with h955p, any solution?
the battery is the problem 100%. i had the same problem and i managed to fix it with buying a new battery and replacing it. 10$ on aliexpress plus you get the tools and it is really easy to replace.
hi. i was stuck in this situation. you can reflash the original stock rom back from LG UP software. at me this was the problem. my friend have a korean model and at him the 4g data connection was the problem...i was on the update of the marshmellow and freeze and reboot...factory reset didn't do something cool and keeps rebooting...but i was smart and lucky and my brain was thinking at the reflash of the phone...so i was to the reflash so my phone was completely and fully functional...no freeze , no reboot...and look for the v20a italy firmware (stock rom)...i say this because this v20a italy rom is so f***in stable and no battery drain...better than other stock rom marshmellow. Thanks me later.
So I haven't had any luck with my Oneplus One lately . I had rooted the phone and was running the CyanogenMod nightlies for a while, but recently for some reason when I updated it for Nov. 25 I have been suck in a reboot loop where the phone boots up and it starts updating apps, but then it continuously does this cycle of rebooting and updating apps. I have tried to enter recovery mode to try and remedy the situation as I have twrp, but for some reason it doesn't boot to recovery when I press down the power and vol down buttons. I have tried to adb to try and reboot into recovery mode but I haven't been able to get it to work. I'd really appreciate some help on this as I have no idea what to do at this point.
I should also mention that I would like to see if it is possible to recover my data as I foolishly did not make a back up.
Thanks in advance.
So just an update I was finally able to get into recovery mode. I backed up my data with twrp and I tried the method mentioned in the reddit link below.
http://https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/1ly5b1/is_it_possible_to_restore_my_sms_from_a_twrp/
I installed the newest version of nightlies CM 13.0 2015 11/30 along with gapps 6.0, but now my phone just boots up and optimizes apps but when it restarts after that it just goes to a black screen.
I know I can wipe everything through twrp and install cm 13.0 probably eliminating the issues I am having, but I'm reluctant to do so as I would like to retrieve my sms messages. I have taken my photos off my phone so I have that.
If any one can advise me on if I can restore my sms from the twrp back up I have made then I'll wipe my phone and do a clean install.
Thanks in advance
i have the exact same problem. would be nice to have it fixed and working without losing all the data.
So I decided to go ahead and wipe my system as I have all of the data I could get out of my phone on my pc now. I get get cyanogen working nicely, until I go into twrp and try to restore the data files I had backed up. This goes well until the reboot then a message pops up saying something isn't working (too fast too read). I then get a blank screen.
Now I still have the same problem of how to put the data I had saved when I used twrp back on to my phone. I believe something in my data is corrupt which is why this is happening, but I'm not sure. Is there just a way to extract say the sms from the data I have saved, that's really all I need at this point. The backups made by twrp are in a format .WIN that I have never seen before and I would appreciate the help if someone can advise me what to do from here.
CM13.0 struck in Reboot loop
When I was browsing and doing some multitasking stuff..noticed that phone was lagging a bit .So i thought to reboot so that it would come out of that...But it completely struck in reboot loop forever.
please help me out of this issue.
Thanks in advance

Are you pressing the Vol down button and power button. Also I unscrewed the back of the phone to unhook the battery cable then I pressed the buttons. I found also, through trial and error on my phone, that you can hold down the buttons for too long so you have to watch and make sure on that. I found that you should hold the 2 button combo through the oneplus one boot logo and you'll see the lights dim then you let the buttons go and its worked so far at least on my phone.
