whenever i try updating to lollipop my G3 keeps bootlooping to twrp and i have to use this zip to fix it. do in need to remove root to update to lollipop?
[G3 Android Development] celester340:
Hello everyone,

I just bought a lg g3 D855 from a friend. It was running on android 4.4.2.

I got a OTA for android 5 so i went ahead and downloaded it.

Immediately after the download as the phone restarted,I got this team win recovery project page with options like

install,wipe,backup,restore mount etc.

I have no idea what this means at all. I just wanted to install the lollipop upgrade

Please help me I dont know what to do. I cannot even use my phone now.

Thank you people.

Just a quick update,

After plenty of reading and trying to understand, I downloaded cm 12 nightfly rom zip file and gapp zip file.

Using TWRP i first installed the rom

Then I installed the gapps

Both from my sdcard.

When i do a reboot, it just goes to the main page of the TWRP. (guess its stuck in a boot loop)

What am i doing wrong now?
[G3 Android Development] da_reeseboy:
Download the zip file in the instructions of the first post and install it on your phone via twrp. Then reboot.
[G3 Android Development] Galt42:
Just like da_reeseboy said, read the first post, which has this .zip file linked in it. Download it to your phone, and make sure you know the directory. (NOTE: Find the actual PATH from the root or / folder. For example, the Download folder is usually something like

/storage/emulated/0/Download

, not just "Download". In TWRP You will have to find this zip from the root folder.)

After you've gotten all that done, which shouldn't be too difficult, reboot into recovery (TWRP), go to Install, and navigate to the .zip you downloaded, select it, and Install it. This process should be pretty quick, and then you can reboot into your system. Done!

Have any questions just ask.
[G3 Android Development] celester340:
Thank you so much for this! I am gonna try and do exactly what u said!

Just a quick question......the fellow at the service center told me that the phone is corrupt and nothing can be done :( would that be true?

Also, another silly question...please bear with me.... to install twrp,does the phone need to be rooted?

Thank you so much again! Im breathing a lil bit easy now!
[G3 Android Development] da_reeseboy:
The service center guy doesn't know anything outside of stock... and even thats debatable. Yes TWRP would require root to install.

To explain what you're dealing with, your friend that you bought the phone off of modified the phone before he sold it to you - stuff that most of us in this community like doing. I'm not sure what rom you had, but I'm guessing it was stock otherwise it wouldn't have taken the update. Your friend probably rooted the phone and then replaced the stock recovery with TWRP, a custom recovery. When you took the OTA, it downloaded the file then set a software flag basically, telling the phone to boot into recovery so the stock recovery could install the update. When the stock recovery was finished, it would clear the flag so your phone would boot normal... You don't have stock recovery so your phone was stuck booting to recovery because the flag was set. The zip file in the first post of this thread clears that flag for you.

Now because you've flashed cm12 on your phone when trying to fix this, when your phone does boot normal again you will be in something completely different from what you had before. We'll see what happens once you get there - all might be good or we might have some stuff to do, but either way we'll get it.
[G3 Android Development] celester340:
WOW amazing! Thanks so much for that..... u know.... now im actually excited to get the phone back from that guy who sold me the phone in the first place.

He keeps telling me the phone was never rooted and that I have done a root and installed twrp. He says they check all their phones and do a factory reset. They are now blaming me saying I have done all these mods and are trying to squirm away from any responsibility.

We will continue this tomorrow. Thanks so much again. You have made my day! :)
[G3 Android Development] da_reeseboy:
Maybe I'm wrong on who installed it but someone did, and if it wasn't you then it was someone else... If only you could get them to just give you back your phone, you could get it done.
[G3 Android Development] celester340:
I will get the phone back tomorrow from that person.

I am someone who doesnt even know what a root means,forget what recovery or twrp or any of that is. I just updated the phone with an OTA and i got this twrp homepage on the phone. Since that day its been all downhill for me. I have spent a few sleepless nights trying my best to understand what went wrong and how to go about setting this right.

Now im going to get my phone back tomorrow. You will have to guide me my friend.

I will do my best to keep up with you and not feel stupid.

Will I need an sd card? In that case I shall buy one too.

Thanks so much....i cant thank you enough.... honestly.
[G3 Android Development] da_reeseboy:
How did you flash cm12 on it? Or did you only download it?
[G3 Android Development] celester340:
I downloaded the file on my laptop and then i was talking to my friend on the phone and he guided me via phone how to use command prompt and adb to get it onto the phone. Believe me when i say this, i was just doing as he said...typed exactly as he said, the cm12 got installed but for some reason the gapps wasnt being pushed onto the phone.
[G3 Android Development] da_reeseboy:
OK. An SD card would definitely make it easier to get the file(s) I've to the phone, but it's not needed.
[G3 Android Development] celester340:
Great thanks.

I did have an sd card which i had used earlier but that has also go a lot of my files on it and i dont wanna take a chance on losing my data.

I will just buy another sd card and use it,not a big deal.

Once the phone gets working i'll just stick my sd card with my personal data on it :)
[G3 Android Development] da_reeseboy:
That works then. I would recommend putting the zip file from post 1 of this thread on it, and the cm12 and gapps you previously downloaded so you have it all there. We can continue this in pm of you want so we don't clutter this thread up any more for others that are subscribed.
[G3 Android Development] celester340:
Thank you so much i was thinking the same,kindly one of the moderators do the needful.
[G3 Android Development] celester340:
I have installed the zip from the first page.

I still am not able to boot into the rom.

"If its still booting into recovery.... you may have flased a recovery img into the boot partition. Reflash boot.img to boot partition slot to fix that issue."

This is what i get on twrp after installing the zip.

Stuck again.
[G3 Android Development] celester340:
It took a lot of patience and understanding from my friend reese who helped me for the past 2 days and got my phone up and running now!

Reese took the time and the effort to hep me patiently step by step. I cant thank reese and the owner of this thread enough honestly. If anyone is stuck and needs help they can contact me on spencerderek@hotmail.com and i am not very active here. I will definitely guide you and make sure ur problem is solved just like reese helped me.

He is in america and i am in india......we are literally oceans apart! I have spent many a night awake wondering what i wud do with my phone in case i cudnt solve the problem.

Big thanks again to reese and all the other guys who contribute so much to the community! Thanks for ur help guys! Much appreciated!

This was complete fail as I had to fix this **** complete different way!!!

Had to do this way; http://www.androidrootz.com/2014/07/how-to-unroot-lg-g3-all-variants.html?m=1 !!

CANT fkin believe how CRAP TWRP sht can do such HUGE problems !!!

Where is fkn CWM for G3??
[G3 Android Development] Nafiganado:
I have 10b firmware on my G3 D856. There is OTA update 20a arrived today. When I do reboot to update - it brings me to custom recovery. It was cyclic, but your file helped and I was able to boot into OS. However, next time everything starts over again: custom recovery is being resurrected :(

Do i need to flash NATIVE recovery from OS in order OTA completed successfully??
[G3 Android Development] DML92:
My G Flex is in the boot loop. I've tried your fix but it still boots to TWRP and it also says it's unrooted and wants to install Super SU - But won't install it and I can't get into download mode to try and install stock. Help?
[G3 Android Development] Aserar:
Guys, I got this problem on my LG G pro 2. now I'm stuck in custom recovery. but the issue is that It's CWM recovery and it won't detect my ext.SD card. I read that this fix could be achieved on TWRP by entering terminal codes. Is this true or even possible on CWM?

ps/ for some reason I can't even load to download mode :(
[G3 Android Development] autoprime:
you should be able to use ADB shell while in CWM... then you can use the terminal commands from the OP in the ADB shell.

you may need koush's universal adb drivers if you have an issue with ADB not being detected n windows while booted in recovery/CWM.

http://www.koushikdutta.com/post/universal-adb-driver
[G3 Android Development] Aserar:
Thank you so much autoprime I almost gave up.

I'm kind of android newbie (as if this isn't clear so far!) so bare with me.

Im running Win8.1 64bit, the only driver properly detected wass Samsung's. The device is recognized as "Samsung android ADB interface". Is this ok?

I didn't totally get your comment but I looked around and learned a little about ADB push, and ADB sideload. The "ADB devices" command replies with "unauthorized" instead of "recovery". but it reads "sideload" correctly when it's activated.

What I want to be careful about is your comment about "accidentally flashed the custom recovery img to the boot partition slot instead of the recovery partition slot" I hope you guide me on what could cause this and how to avoid it.
[G3 Android Development] autoprime:
not sure why it would say unauthorized. it's possible adb is buggy in the CWM build you have flashed.

if working it would show you your device then you'd just use the commands in the OP to fix it.

anyway... since sideload is working you should just sideload the zip file in OP. using sideload sends the zip to phone and flashes it automatically as soon as it transfers over. should be fixed then.... as long as your issue started due to trying an OTA while custom recovery is installed. If you are stuck in CWM for any other reason this may not work.

adb sideload LG_G3_Flash2FixStuckRecovery.zip
[G3 Android Development] Aserar:
Thank you so much autoprime. I was able to sideload the zip file and in seconds I was back in business. You were a big help. I appreciate your time and effort.

[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] how did you write the context file? Is it partially auto-generated?

I have a zip fix for my device LS660 and I would like to have the backup of the partitions similar to how you did.

If you did write from scratch, may I use your context file as a base for the addition to my zip? Provided I make the proper edits. Credit will be given in ui_print in the zip, as well as in my thread. Given time restraints, as soon as it is completed I could provide you with a copy for your approval if needed.
[G3 Android Development] autoprime:
for the LG_G3_Flash2FixStuckRecovery.zip?

"updater-script" and "script.sh" I made... file_contexts and the rest were from elsewhere... possibly a cm rom zip or something.
[G3 Android Development] HasH_BrowN:
[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] How can i get permission to use the file_context?

My updater and sh files are from scratch. I just like the addition of the other file for what it provides.

twrp recovery.
[G3 Android Development] IL200:
Anyone:confused:
[G3 Android Development] autoprime:
you need to explain how you got stuck in twrp. this threads method is only to fix when stuck in twrp due to the misc partition telling the phone to reboot into recovery.. which happens when you try to flash an official OTA update file.

if you are stuck in twrp for any other reason then this is not the fix for you.. and it'd be easier to boot into download mode and flash a KDZ.

dump your misc partition and PM it to me if you think you are stuck in twrp due to OTA. if you are stuck in twrp for any other reason I cannot help other than to suggest flashing KDZ or TOT.
[G3 Android Development] namitneil:
I am having a serious problem need help or suggestion.

While i was having proximity calibration issues while calling the sensor was delaying to everything. I tried to run a hardware test from the service menu from my stock based marshmallow rom. But now my device is again and again booting up in twrp recovery. I wiped everything and installed the rom again but again i think the phone is commanding the system to run a device test and its booting up twrp recovery again. Please if you can spare a minute to guide me to something i shall be really thankful to you.
[G3 Android Development] autoprime:
the commands in the OP should work if you run them while in TWRP. if not.. then I'm not really sure.

Guys, this is an old script, but it has worked nonetheless on my LG G3 (D858HK10f). Thank you very, very much! Saved me a ton of headaches, especially since I'm about to sell my G3 after upgrading phones.

On a related note, does anyone know why an OTA update on a rooted phone would cause recovery bootloops? I mean, I wiped everything clean, back to factory settings. I thought updating to Marshmallow would mean automatic unrooting. I guess I have to unroot first.

Thanks bro

thanks my prob solved now

I have a samsung galaxy a5 (A500F) and installed TWRP using flashify.When it rebooted it went directly to recovery mode and does that every time i try to reboot it. I don t have much experience so a step by step guid would really help if you have a solution.

Hello!

I've a big problem!

A friend gave me a gps portable navigation device, that was based on windows ce.

I deleted few files (I know, I'm really stupid!) and it doesn't work anylonger.

When I turn it on I see only the white screen with the logo of the company but nothing more happens.

I don't know how to do a hard reset. The device is unknown from some Chinese company namend Ramar. Theyr internet site is so sad....

I think I've cancelled windows!

What could I do? throw it away or there is any chance to recuperate it?

Sorry for my english!

Thank you!

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] agriff:
It will function and make calls, but you will not be able to connect to att's LTE network. The i9500 does not have LTE radios at all, AFAIK. Your best best for connecting to at&t LTE on anything that is not an i337 is either the Canadian(Rogers, etc.) i337M, or you might want to check the T-mobile gs4 forums to see if there is a hack to connect to at&t LTE.

I believe the T-Mobile S4 will work Perfectly on ATT network with NO CHANGES needed. It has all of att's frequencies as well as tmobiles. May just need to add att's apns and Sim card. PLUS its boot loader was not (possibly still not) locked and can flash anything.

Try to use TWRP, CWM is making problems on my T210 but TWRP runs perfectly
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HakanCelikMK1:
Sharing my (finally successful) experience

Hi everyone,

I've successfully rooted my tablet and installed a custom recovery. There were some problems though.

Basic procedure worked without a hitch. But on my tablet, T110.CWM.v6.0.4.8.tar.md5 didn't work, it just booted to a blank screen. Then, I tried T110.TWRP.2.7.0.1.tar.md5 which worked well.

Since my basic motivation was to be able to backup the device, I've backed up the system partition and rebooted. Everything were fine until, I used Quick Boot to boot to recovery mode. Then, the device got stuck in a recovery boot loop. Whatever I tried, it booted right into TWRP.

Perusing http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54688506&postcount=115, I've managed to install stock recovery and then reflash TWRP. Restoring the system partition I've just backed up also went well.

I've rebooted the device several times in normal and recovery modes, and I've observed no looping behaviour.

I suspect the problem was caused by Quick Boot. So, to others who will try this procedure, I would suggest to use the standard 3 button method to get into recovery.

Thanks to everyone who helped, by contributing to the thread.

Hakan.
