Hello guys!
I wanted to upgrade to Malladus Kitkat 4.4.2. I was on 12b with CWM...So i updated my recovery to TWRP from here ... I followed the steps and still it wouldnt let me install the ROM. Kept saying update failed. So I tried going back to CWM, that update too failed...So I was stuck with TWRP..So i installed 12b and after a while the phone finished everything and rebooted..But it went into a bootloop..I tried going into recovery using power and vol down option...when I got the option to hard reset..i pressed power thrice...usually it would go to the recovery but now the hard reset was done in less than a second and the phone shut down...did this a few times with the same result. My PC (win 8) does not recognize my device since its not yet on..Also it keeps asking me if I want to format my drive. The drivers have been installed etc. I dont know what to do...How do i revive it? Any help will be massively appreciated guys
Can you get into Download mode?

BRICK
Look up LG Flash Tool for i was able to unbrick and restore my phone.
Note you will loose everything after this but if you items where backed up you can restore them.
Good Luck!

Of course I tried some of the options mentioned in that forum but my PC simply fails to recognize the phone.. so even in the Download mode, I am unable to do anything. Let me try the method which requires me to use Ubuntu. May be it will work.
Setting com port to 41?

Hello! New member here so please excuse me if I'm posting to the wrong forum or anything like that.
Not to take long of your time, I can't get my phone to boot. It shows the 2 LG logos and won't proceed beyond that. So I need to know if there's a way to flash a ROM and a Recovery with it like that.
Thanks for the help.

Can you access CWM? Try to pull out the battery, put it in, press power button + volume down at the same time. Wait til the LG logo appears and release it.

I guess you need to flash the stock ROM by using SmartFlashTool. Its easy to use. There's a thread that has simple instructions.

As weird as this is, I suddenly can start into recovery. Is SmartFlashTool still the way to go? I ask because I don't want to ruin things any further.
Thanks again for the help.

Really?! That's great to know.
Recovery is v5.0.2.7
ETA: I flashed the ROM I had on before all that mess started and now my phone is working again. I'm not sure if things went awry because AOKP's last build was screwed or because I removed the SDcard before flashing in an attempt to force the phone to use the 5GB of internal memory that has been sitting useless since I got the device.
can't I flash the last owaine version I used?

It is.
I wiped every thing before flashing the ROM and I have a complete copy of all the files I had on the SDcard saved on my PC. As soon as it finishes charging I'll move the TB files back to the SDcard and see if I can restore my apps. Unfortunately, I have to redo my system settings by hand. But I don't really mind.
Thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it.

Just went to pull that for you but realized im not rooted right now. Planning on rooting again soon if you still need it later message me
Thanks!,
I just realized I have a bigger problem now anyways, ADB says device is offline which means I could not push it anyways.
Looking for other options now.

Im assumin you toom the mj5 update? If not use the mi9 one click odin from delavega root thread to go back to stock. Can you explain your situation a bit further ill try to help if I can

yes, I took the MJ5 update, so MI9 is not an option,
I modified the framework-res which caused a soft brick, however I must not had turned on debugging in dev options prior to doing so, so I cannot use adb to push anything as it sees the device but is offline.
I could sideload an update.zip in recovery it has to be signed or else it would fail...
Any suggestions?
Are you booting at all and getting fcs or no boot what so ever?
Hello all,
I just flashed CloudyFa's cloudstock rom with the patched kernel and it booted up.
No radio.
So I go on forum and Micromod777 posted a baseband which should work on it and I do a full wipe, flash cloudy's rom, the kernel and then the baseband
Rebooted and black screen of death.
Just a vibration to confirm that it is booted up
Am I screwed?
Any possible solutions?

Try plugging it into linux and seeing if it'll recognize it? If you don't have adb or downloader mode you're probably screwed...

I don't see why not but if you don't even see the LG logo it's probably hard bricked.

I haven't seen any you could try searching the forums for it, I got hard bricked by freegee a while back so I hope all goes well
These phones usually don't brick too easily. If you can get into download mode then you probably aren't bricked.
Maybe try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370
In the future don't mess with the baseband if you don't know what your doing.
Edit:
If you can't get download mode. There is still a chance but you must use linux.
This guide is for a D8XX so DO NOT USE ANY OF THE FILES LISTED THERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
These should be the files for the VS980 12B, that I quickly just found in the same directory:
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware/12B_Partitions
In theory it should work, but I have not tested it. Use this at your own risk as a last resort!
Here's the post where I saved my vs980 from a brick. Couldn't get to system, recovery, or download. It's likely the same guide Ploxorz just linked.
Hey guys, I rooted my Verizon LG G2 a while back and used Xposed Framework. I got an update notification from Verizon today about kit kat 4.4.4 and I said, "Sure, might as well get the newest update." After I downloaded it, it took me to TWRP which was unusual because whenever I updated it always took me to LG's boot menu (duh). So now I have no clue how to get out of the menu because whenever I hit Power Off in the menu, then turn it back on, it goes back to TWRP. So then when I tried to restore a backup, it seemed like it was working but it still brought me back to the damned TWRP menu. Please, somebody help me fix this because my phone has become a paperweight until I get this fixed.

Why would you modify your phone when you clearly have no idea of what your doing or how to return to stock? Mind boggling to me how many people take these silly risk.

Seriously man. I thoroughly read all guides before going about the rooting.
But this guy just doesn't know even basic stuff mentioned in the first post.
I tried helping him but he is just too ignorant for me to handle.
Don't even get me started on the 'will pay' thing.
I didn't notice it before but man what does this guy think
Before I ever rooted my phone I read all kind of tutorials and even watched all kinds of video's on youtube. +1 to rootjunky.com Then before I would modify anything I would make sure to have all the stock images and my sdk set up if needed to return to stock before changing anything.
I sure as hell didn't tell people that I'll pay them for helping me

So I worked with him and got his phone running stock again. And told him to not even think of paying, instead just that he would promise to not flash anything in the future until he researches how to do it properly
