So I rooted my phone by installing the rooted 13b img. And went to install xposed framework and apk. I completed all the steps found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/themes-apps/guide-installing-xposed-locked-t3181593), and now it is stuck on the android logo....suggestions on what do do from here?
A little more detail: After completing steps verbatim, it would fail to install framework. I then read somewhere else that you need to uncheck not only auto mount but the mount option, as well. I tried that and it seemed like it must have worked as it didn't immediately fail and reboot. However, it got stuck on the android logo and after an hour or so I realized there was problem. I have pulled the battery and rebooted several times. I can boot into download mode, but cannot get it to fully boot. Since I could get it into DL mode, I used LGUP to install the 24C MM update (as I didn't have the 13B on my computer). But the result is the same...stuck on the Verizon logo even after a successful install of 24C.
Is this a case of the hardware failure that others are experiencing or is this software related? I see a lot of people with bootloop issues and mine seems to be similar but different. Mine does get past the LG screen to the next screen, but even installing a stock kdz doesn't seem to help...
UPDATE:
Well I downloaded the stock 13B kdz and flashed it via LGUP and it somehow managed to boot. It looked like it was going to be stuck on the Verizon landing page but after about 10 seconds or so it completed boot up. I have now installed the rooted 13B image and made a backup img. I might try again to install xposed framework - fingers crossed it doesn't screw up this time...
Use hyleton's 'LG G4 Stock Firmware (Go Back to Stock) KDZ & TOT Method' that uses LGFlashTool2014.exe and do a CSE Flash - this will wipe all your data though

Thanks, I'll look into that. I was hoping that using LGUP to reflash to stock would do it...but I guess I have to remove whatever the flash tool put on my phone when trying to install the xposed framework...

Hi all. I'm not a novice when it comes to rooting and flashing but I'm stuck on this one. A friend of mine tried to install CM11 on this phone, the LS980 and somehow really jacked it up. It's stuck in a bootloop, but I can get into download mode and stock recovery. All data has been wiped. I have tried using the LGFlash tool to install the stock tot and dll but it fails. It fails because the the tool says the file is the wrong model for the phone. Here's the thing, its not. But somehow the phone now thinks its a D802 instead of an LS980. (This happened during the CM11 attempt somehow) The flash tool fails every time. I even tried the D802 files and it started to flash but failed about a 1/4 of the way through. That confirms that the phone definitely thinks its a D802, weird. When I hook it up to the LG Support tool, it tells me the phone is a testmodel!
Needless to day I've tried everything I know how. ADB sideloads, different recoveries, and I've researched for hours on end. I have hope that there's still a solution. I would be golden if I could get a recovery on it, either TWRP or CWM. Any help is appreciated.
have the same problem. simply cant recover the recovery.
My recovery for e988 g pro in lg g2. I try everything for fix the recovery but cant help it. Is there any way to re build recovery?
So, i scoured the forums, searched for my error code and nothing...
I have a new E980 that I rooted, installed CWM on and left the stock ROM. Earlier today, I get a notification for an OTA update.
I figured I didn't desperately need root, so I unrooted through SuperSU, and said to hell with it, and accepted the update.
Phone reboots into CWM and is now only booting into it over and over.
I looked up how to recover from it, and I've been trying to flash it using LG Flashtool ver 1.5 and everything goes fine until I actually plug the phone in with download mode on and LG FT in the "Ready!" state. LG FT then starts to flash it, goes to 3%, immediately to 100% and then fails after 5 seconds. Error code F0000002. I tried everything over and over again and I get nothing.
I have my COM port set to 41 and LG Flashtool set up properly according to the tutorials.
Any ideas?
I had to use the LG R&D test tool to flash the panama rom then root & install CWM. With freegee and then restore my stock.E980 AT&T backup. Kept getting a "Previous loadfailed" error with LG flash tool.

So I have an LG G Pro F240l
So essentially, because I flashed the wrong recovery (the F240k, as that's what I thought the phone was), this means I have no recovery.
I cannot root my phone, because basically the recovery doesn't exist.
I can use adb.
I can't do anything after booting other than use ADB, because "LG IMS has stopped working" will constantly appear and impede my ability to achieve anything (this occured after flashing the new lolipop update, which while it technically worked, I should have done a factory reset before doing it.
KDZ files are only the roms, I can flash those fine.
I have a 4.4 rom, and the new lolipop build in terms of those files.
I am unable to locate the tot or dll files I need for my F240l
First, removing LG IMS would make life easier, as that should theoretically fix the problem, making the OS at least useable.
Secondly, how would I go about getting myself a recovery that works (even the stock recover), and flashing it without already having a recovery?
Is there a way I can temporarily root the phone without going into recovery at all?
Please help, I'd rather not have a $160 paperweight..
Edit: I've gotten the ROM working, but I still have no way to root or install a recovery.

Make sure you have LG Suite installed and of course all the drivers. Put the phone into download mode and engage Repair Upgrade Errors in LG Suite. You should get back to stock.

I just did this, all it did was re-flashed the same rom I already had (presumeably the .kdz) file. The recovery is still missing and only showing a an android with a compartment open and a red exclamation point.

This is a wild shot in the dark, but try holding vol down, home, power.. then wait for prompt and confirm hard reset with power button. then try the lg suite "repair upgrade" again while in download mode. Hope you can sort it out.
Please don't refer me to any more threads or forums........
I'm sure this has been done and done and talked about but I've been reading the **** out of forums and comments for a few hours now and trying to unroot my Sprint LG G2.
I had it running stock like a champ. rooted it. worked great. then I was attempting to flash lollipop and it required a recovery update (No Problem) I downloaded the correct files and bam! it says your phone is not rooted this requires a root (or something like that) I was already rooted SuperSU installed and root checker said I was fine. so what the hell I swipe to root while inside recovery and it goes to some black screen with tiny text saying fastboot: processing commands and won't leave the screen. I tried booting into recovery and same thing happens. Tried to reboot normal and I'm stuck on the LG logo with my led flashing between blue and green slowly. I CAN boot into download mode and I'm following this

Did I not get the right .dll file? I doubt it cause I only saw one...or is it the wrong .tot file? there was 3 or so

Please help!
When i'm in download mode the phone does say I am rooted. is there a way to just re-flash recovery and restore from my backups I did before all this? if I have to wipe this thing clean and start over I don't really mind I just need to get my phone back haha this is the first time this has ever happened to me and I consider myself tech savvy so idk what I did here (except re rooting in recovery like an idiot) thanks so much!
First question, is the download mode you see with a small status bar or the big one?
If you have the big one, download mode should work. The f flash software will verify the tot file. If that goes through you should be golden.
When it asked you in TWRP to root, that is a message telling you system or ROM file did not take.
If you want cm12, use zv8 tot. Root, auto-rec, update TWRP with blastgator bumped TWRP 2.5.1. Flash cm ROM or aosp, then gapps. And go
Hello to all of you,
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I bought second hand a LG G4 H815 with CyanogenMod 14 already installed on it.
Everything was fine until I installed my Ebanking apps, that would not function with an unlocked bootloader. I needed to return to a clean factory safe state...
It was the second time I flashed a rom in my whole life, the first one was a Galaxy S plus years ago.
I followed all the instructions for the KDZ flash in this tutorial but I stumbled upon a "Upgrade stopped due to error" in LG flash tool.
I retried 3 or 4 times but with no luck. I verified that the ROM was correct for my model and it was. European and all...
I tried LGUP but my phone is unknown ( at least it's detected)...
I read some posts and told myself "I probably have messed up something, let's try it again with a fresh thing"... I clicked on the factory reset button and carried on.
There the phone booted on TWRP (That i didn't know existed before this). As I explored the menus with a TWRP google search on the computer, I began to realize that the factory reset was maybe a bad thing to do with a custom rom. I tried to reboot but I always end up booting on TWRP.
I re-tried to flash in download mode, but with always the "Upgrade stopped due to error".
I also tried to flash directly from TWRP a stock rom. Didn't work.
I was beginning to lose it and tried to flash the CM14 version I had before, juste to have a working phone again, but even this didn't work... I'm stuck with a TWRP phone
I need some help there...

Thank you for your answer

The best way to flash stock image is to use official LG Bridge app. Download it, turn off your phone, connect it to PC while holding volume up button - phone will go into download mode. Then there is option for software restore in LG Bridge but i won't tell u where exactly. If it won't work i would try on another PC. If it won't work maybe you would be able to flash stock image trough send_command but i won't help you with it.
