Ok, so I just started to dig into my g2 today and decided to root it and such with hopes of trying out the resurrection remix rom. I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951 to root my stock D801 running 4.4.2 and it worked perfectly fine verified with the root checker app. I went on to install TWRP following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...l-one-click-freedom-tool-lp-30b-twrp-t3084474 which also worked fine so i booted into TWRP. First and only thing i did was create a backup. After the backup was done i rebooted and now I'm stuck with a repeating lg logo boot loop. I can still get into TWRP, and I can get into download mode so I'm not too worried. I tried restoring from the backup I made right before the bootloop started but it didn't work.
My question is what did I do wrong? Also, instead of going back to stock, could I just load resurrection remix onto the phone now and try to flash it even though its boot looping?

Did you actually ever upgrade to lollipop?
If not try flashing the 20g bootstack that can be found in the stock 30b roms by micromod...after that you should be able to restore your backup...

I did not. I was running on 4.4.2. I have since used the lg 2014 flash tool to flash the stock lollipop firmware, and subsequently followed the same process i mentioned above to root and get twrp installed. Now I have everything running alright, and a stable backup, but im running into issues flashing resurrection remix. I tried both the latest version on 5.1, and the newest version for 5.0.2. I first do a factory rest wipe on twrp, then i flash resurrection and the appropriate gapps ( 5.0 for the 5.02 rom and 5.1 for the newest one) both times i just get the lg logo after reboot. the logo stays for about 2 minutes until the screen starts to flicker and fade to grey. then i have to go back to twrp and restore.

RR is kit kat based and you will need to flash the 20g bootstack i mentioned and also the jb bootloader by blastagator...then you will be able to flash RR...to return to lollipop you will need to flash the 30b bootstack before restoring...30 bootstack can be found in same thread as the 20g...good luck

Thanks! I'm not really sure what a bootstack is, so i guess i have a bit to learn, i will go and look up the 20g bootstack and see whats involved with it.

I wish I could hit the thanks button more than once, you are awesome. Everything is up and running smoothly now. I don't think I would have ever figured out that a lollipop rom needed a kit kat bootstack and a jellybean bootloader to run properly. I don't even know how I'd go about finding that out. Thanks again.

No problem...by the way is download mode working after flashing 20g bootstack?...if not let me know as i made a modified version to fix but i haven't tested it yet...should work
maybe your problem is fixed by now, but did you try wiping cache/dalvik cache? That fixes 90% of bootloop problems for me.

I was on the 9.30 OTA and installed the KK ota via @SamuriHL method.... I rooted and unlocked the bootloader.
Next I installed CWM for KK and tried installing Mokee @Ryuinferno. Now I am in a bootloop. What could have gone wrong?

The ROM is KK but it was not designed for the latest boot loader version, I think. The only custom rom that will work with the most recent OTA boot loader are dhacker's test builds
You have to either downgrade the boot loader, use one of the test builds or revert to stock system.

i did something very similiar. from what i understand (which isnt muchLOL). but Dhacker29 told me that once you upgrade you have to use the new kitkat bootloader. and the new bootloader only works with roms that have upgraded kernels 3.5 or higher(i think) so right at this momoent there are next to no roms but you can either use stock and modify it yourself or you can give Dhackers test build which isnt bad it has a few bugs but all the hardware works so far and my RAZR HD is playing games it couldnt touch before at all. here give this a try( oh turn off touch sounds to get rid of that anoying popping/cracking sound) i started this thread after having the same issues LMAO in it u will find links to the test rom . hope this helps

@JohnnyMcG... I did the downgrade and it worked.... Flashed mokee and it works like a charm.

Quick question. I am on 4.4.2 and want to flash Lollipop. Just got my phone, rooted it, installed TWRP, downloaded AICP LP, GAPPS 5.0.x.... On my G2 I had to be on a specific modem. Can I just go in and wipe and flash or do I need to do something special?

Went ahead and tried it and everything worked just fine. Made a backup of course, just in case.
Yeah. It's pretty easy. No need to change modem.
I've never had issues barging into a development community and going out to the horizon of customization until this cellphone. It's been 12 hours of flashing and downloading and flushing and flashing...
I have S-off and unlocked through SunShine
I use the 0P6BIMG.zip to flash RUU back to the stock verizon rom android 4.4.2
I use 3.28.605.4-firmware.zip from the same RUU thread to update the firmware (???)
I want to install CM12 or liquidsmooth ROM, but I'm getting a hunch at this point I need to start with the stock verizon 5.0.1 installed before that because TWRP wants to patch the system file... But then why am I wiping my system before installing?
I also tried flashing FluentRom_v7.5.zip but I got stuck on the HTC initial screen, I don't even make it over to a boot animation.
What do?

I'm prettly sure you're on an older firmware. You need to be on 5.01 to flash the ROMs you have tried to flash. Use the pre-rooted RUU from this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...zw-m8-master-ruu-firmware-collection-t2946473
Also make sure you have the latest version of TWRP.
Edit: The firmware you flashed was 4.4.4

Thanks for the link that thread and your advice was exactly what I needed.
For whatever reason after using the app/exe to flash 5.0.1 stock-rooted, Liquid Rom failed to install in TWRP. I reflashed the stock-rooted rom and CM-12.1 worked flawlessly. So I'm on CM right now :good: but I'll take another look into Liquid rom. Thanks so much!
Since you like AOSP, I recommend visiting the main m8 thread some other Roms. They are unified builds.
I get this message when I try to flash the new CM12 snapshot on my HTC One M8, SlimROM 4.4.4, with TWRP v.2.8.1.0. When I tried it, I actually had to use an RUU on my phone to get it working again. How do I fix this (not the broken phone, I fixed that).
I've looked into similar threads, and one says I need to update my TWRP, but I can't, because anything above TWRP 2.8.1 doesn't work on KitKat 4.4.4, and I have no idea how I would update my phone past that, since that's what I'm trying to do...

I'm not so sure this is true. IF there's a point at which twrp is too new to flash a kit Kat Rom then you probably don't have to go back much further than 2.6 or so. If you're looking to get to a newer Rom then I would greatly recommend flashing the 5.0.1 ruu from dottat (to make sure you're on the latest official firmware) and then flashing the latest twrp followed by any one of the great lollipop roms out there.
Hi,
I wanted to install a custom rom but seems like it was unsuccesful.. D: Now i'm stuck at the "Samsung Galaxy S6" logo. I can enter the recovery mode though. Is there a way to fix it?
There's also a message in red which says "recovery is not seandroid enforcing".
Thanks in advance!
*Solved: Flashed the wrong version of twrp. That caused the issue. Flashed the 5.1.1 stock rom problem solved

Here are two separate techniques. First try a factory data reset from recovery. If that fails use odin to restore the stock firmware

Oh wait, just re-readed what i typed. Seems like it rolled back. The problem started after installing the recovery. 1st i rooted it with odin which worked after testing if i had root. Afterwards i installed twrp with odin aswell, rebooted and everything was still working. Then i went to flashify and chose "boot to recovery" which led me to my actual problem.
During the instalation of twrp i din't have any issue, it just said "Pass". So no recovery mode for me
Can i just download the stock rom 5.0 from the forums? I had android 5.1. If not, is there any place to download the stock 5.1 rom? (Sammobile is way too slow)
Also, when i said "i can enter recovery mod though" i meant, download mode.

Download mode is totally different from recovery mode. As long as you can boot into download mode you should install stock 5.0.2 through odin. It will unbrick and unroot

You can't go back to 5.0.2 if you took the 5.1.1 update because of the new bootloader also the reason you are stuck on the splash screen was because you started with 5.1.1 and probably used an older version of TWRP use 2.8.7.1 not 2.8.7.0 or anything lower because 2.8.7.1 is the only one that works for 5.1.1 on this new bootloader.
Odin back to 5.1.1 not 5.0.2 and I understand SamMobile is very slow so use this thread it has most firmwares mirrored http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/stock-firmware-official-stock-firmware-t3086387

Just in case i downloaded both. So i just have to reflash 5.1.1 and use TWRP 2.8.7.1 right? Welp, just noticed by checking my downloads that i downloaded the 2.8.6.0, now everything makes sense. Going to go back to stock and do all the procedure once again. I'll keep in touch!

OK, correct flash 2.8.7.1 and flash to 5.1.1 but if you go back to 5.0.2 then you will brick your phone also tip when flashing custom roms use unikernel or some kind of custom kernel because sometimes it won't boot also you will have this same problem if you flash a rom based on 5.0.2
