Hi,
I have rooted G Flex, with Freedom Flex TWRP v.2.8.0.0
Did a factory reset as I wanted to gift my phone to my friend but after factory reset, it asked for an update and when I pressed yes, it went on to TWRP and is stuck there.
There is option to install, wipe, etc, but not sure which one to chose and what to do.
Lg Freedom folder has a recovery.zip as well.
Just wondering what is the option for me.
try the steps here. scroll down to the terminal commands and that will get you going.

(How to Fix bricked LG G2 stuck in Recovery after taking OTA update
If you have LG G2 rooted and installed with TWRP recovery then suddenly and automatic OTA update came around but then its too late that your phone just stuck in TWRP Recovery. If you bricked your phone after doing an OTA Update with root and TWRP installed and happens that it stuck at recovery. This can be fixed either by installing the official firmware via flashtool using the KDZ file but sometimes your phone can’t boot into Download mode and it won’t connect to the computer, so this could be a very frustrating situation.
Before doing anything else you may first try this, this has been reportedly worked on some LG G2 users at Androidcentral forum and thanks to the folks at XDA-developers for this workaround.
On your TWRP terminal command type this codes.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit enter
type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
Then hit enter and reboot.)

I have a VS980:
I rooted and installed twrp recovery.
I triedto install pac_vs980-dev-20140731
I copied it to root of my phone along with the gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip.
I made a backup of everything on the phone, Then did a full wipe of everything.
I installed the two zips, and it says sucessful. Then goes into a boot loop!
I tried to recover the the backup and it is not found!
IDK what to do it is my girlfriends phone and she is absolutly ripped **** with me. I need serious help to fix this I have no idea what went wrong or how to fix it please help willing to make a paypal payment to anyone who can actually fix this. I was trying a new rom but adb sideload won't load either!
I keep seeing people saying that some commands work for them but when I am in twrp and click advanced and terminal command it loads up what looks like a file browser and I am lost. I seriously need to fix .
I tried the following:
from the TWRP terminal command was to type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit enter
type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
then hit enter and reboot.

But both commands say there's no space left. what should i try now?
I'm new to this phone but can't you just load the phone's SD into the computer in twrp?
That's what I would do with my old phones.

No this phone doesn't have an SD Card, and the computer isn't seeing the phone at all while plugged in.
I ended up downloading the LG Flash tool and the stock KDZ file it took seconds and completely fixed the phone,
Just had to boot the phone into download mode (Press Volume Up and insert USB cord while phone is off)
and uploaded the KDZ file and all is new, still rooted, but other then that everything is back to full stock.
I don't understand why people don't just make KDZ files for the custom roms! It's much easier!
I know, I meant "mount as USB drive" option in twrp.
They probably need to digitally sign it for a kdz to work , so I don't think they can just "make" a kdz
Have you tried to go back into twrp and wiped the dalvick again. Then tried to reboot.
If all else fails, use the Return To Stock Guide in the general section. What version of Android did you have on the phone before you flashed this? You need to make sure the rom matches the baseband you're using.
Hello guys,
i bricked my vs980 and now i need help.
Here is the story.
I was on 4.4.2 ROM. i installed towelroot and rooted phone. Then i downloaded autorec for vs980 to install twrp. After reboot all i can see on phone are colorful lines. Phone wont boot to OS (after few seconds it auto reboots). I have no download mode or fastboot mode. ALL i have is twrp installed, but i cant see anything on screen (anythinkg usefull - only those multi-colored lines). In twrp i can enter sideload mode.
When i enter sideload mode i see i adb my phone and it says im in sideload mode. So using adb i can install something (at least i think so).
Is it possible to unbrick my phone or is it totally lost?
I think i would need to somehow install original partitions on it using adb sideload.
I dont know how. i tried installing some roms, no success. Still phone wont boot to OS. I propably messed something with partitions when i was trying to unbrick it.
I tried installing kernel KK_Kernel_VS980_jdi, it doesnt help.
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
// edit
Restoring download mode would be good. I would flash kdz then. But no idea how to do it having adb sideload only
//edit 2
I managed using sideload to flash 26a bootskatck and xdabbeb 2.3.0 rom. Then i flashed KK_Kernel_VS980_jdi which should repair those white lines. Now in recovery i still have all those lines (cant see anything on screen), but phone boots to OS. In OS, there are some lines but i can see everything on the screen (KK_Kernel_VS980_jdi helped). I guess now i need to restore download mode. But how?
//edit 3
I restored dl mode using zip from xdabbeb 2.3.0 thread and managed to install 24a using kdz method. It partiallly repaired phone - there are some lines, but according to info found on net they will disappear after some time (24h approx).
Rafal.
Hello.
I have a wierd problem.. i was searching on forums and everywhere but cant find any answer..
So.. i managed to unlock bootloader without any problem, PC communicating with the watch as it should, i followed all the steps needed to root the watch but TWRP is not working at all. i placed the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-lenok.img to the folder where recovery located. after fastboot flash recovery blabla.img the process shows it was sucessfull, reboting the device, pushing the super su zip UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip to the watch. after adb reboot recovery, and no mether how many times i do this ill end up seeing the green dead android instead of TWRP menu.
Please help me. i have no idea whats the problem. device bootloader unlocked, all process shows success in adb, i have 5.02 rom. what am i doing wrong?
PROBLEM RESOLVED
I have a relatively new Nexus 6. The last phone that I rooted was the old HTC Hero, and things have changed! I had unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone under 5.1.1 and when I flashed Marshmallow 6.0 yesterday I lost root.
So I decided that I would try to root the phone again. I had problems with the drivers... my PC would recognize the phone when it was powered up normally but as soon as I booted into fastboot I couldn't get ADB to find it.
Then I went to this link: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/marshmallow-root-for-nexus-5-6-7-9-and-player-by-chainfire-84862/
got my fastboot and adb set up and working, followed his instructions to get root, flashed the twrp image, and flashed the SuperSU file. Everything seemed to work properly. Made a complete backup using twerp and transferred it to my PC via USB.
After all this a tap on Reboot System was supposed to restart the phone. Didn't happen.
I'm stuck in a fastboot recovery loop. Whenever I power down and try to turn the phone on I come back to the fastboot screen. When I elect to go into "recovery" it opens the twrp screen on my phone which asks for my pin and then I have the twrp screen with the regular options.
This is new to me... I don't know if access to the twrp screen and its commands is a help or not, but I do realize that the adb and fastboot on my PC is necessary for about anything I need to do and it seems to be working. I believe that I've described my situation accurately...
Any help appreciated!

how about this, adb NEVER EVER works in fastboot mode. that is reserved exclusively for fastboot. you have to use fastboot to flash a recovery, then the recovery to flash supersu.

now it also seems as you have to fastboot flash a factory image as well.

I asked for help before searching thoroughly enough! I figured out that I needed to download another ROM, transfer it into the phone's storage, and install using TWRP. I really didn't understand the capabilities of this fabulous application and had simply flashed it because the thread instructed me to.
so my friend the phone owner accepted OTA update he was rooted phone model is F340k and he was stuck at recovery and he wiped every thing without backup and gave it to me and i tried every thing i installed SphinX ROM still was stuck at recovery and then i done the most stupid thing i flashed the original recovery so the phone was bricked but the BULK 9006 mode was working so i fixed it via the Ubuntu method i extracted the needed files from the kdz file for my model and i had recovery working again with adb working and all so i tried flashing SphinX ROM again still was stuck and then i tried these command lins from twrp recovery terminal
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
and
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
and after these command lins ADB and MTP not working so now i am stuck at lg logo but i can still go to recovery and when t try to open download mode i am stuck at the blue 5 dots so is it bricked now is it fixable what else can i do ?
finally the phone is fixed it turns out that otg was working it was not working before the 2 command lines so when i found out i extracted laf.img from the kdz file and flashed it from the twrp terminal with this command "dd if=/sdcard/laf.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/laf" and so the download mode was fixed and i flashed it with stock firmware with kdz method and it is working flawlessly again
Give the phone back, apologize for screwing phone up worse than it was, and don't mess w other peoples phones. Lesson learned.
