Hi All,
Repost since I posted this question in the wrong forum before. Sorry for the spam.
I tried to flash my E980 (already rooted and running Carbon ROM nightly build 10/10/2013) with the latest ROM nightly build 10/24/2013.
When in TWRP 2.5.0.0, I wiped everything except the external SD, added 10/24/2013 build image, gapps, and modem zips and hit install rom.
The flashing stopped due to error saying the MD5 signature of the build image zip is bad.
Now I am left with a device with no OS installed. When I power it on, after the initial LG logo flash, nothing happens.
Would you please tell me how to get back into the recovery mode? Thanks a lot.
I have re-downloaded the ROM zip and put it in the external SD.
At this stage, do I have to use LG flash tool to flash the factory ROM first, then do root,...? Or can I flash the custom ROM directly.
Flash the ROM in cwm directly

Do this
To boot into recovery do this.
Switch off by removing battery,
Re-insert battery,
now hold vol up+home+power button at same time n release it when u see LG logo. This will boot into recovery.
Wipe data and flash the ROM.
Good luck
Edit: I'm not sure if it's vol up or vol down. It's one of those though. Getting into recovery is bit tricky. But I have done it before. If it fails remove the battery again and try once again.

StarkV5, thanks a lot!
It is "volume up + home + power". Returned to TWRP 2.6.1.0 recovery and flashed 20131104 CM10.2 today. Everything works smoothly except that the screen touch issue in TWRP. The touch calibration was spot on during the first use after TWRP install. After a reboot, the touch is so off. It is like working with a 960*540 screen, i.e. the top left quadrant of the E980 screen.
Thank you (and Neroga too) again!

I recently flashed calkulin rom 292 now this is were my phone screens only goto. Please help I also included pictures.
That doesn't look bricked. Bricked would be if you had nothing show up on the screen. If you try to go to boot loader can you? It should be power + vol down or power + vol up as u start up.
Go into recovery and wipe data then phone should boot also cache and delvik cache

Power + volume up is recovery power + volume down is download mode. You are definitely not bricked though. If for some reason you cannot get into recovery just flash back to stock through odin.
Been there done that. Download a stock romm or the one click and instal with Odin.
You aren't bricked.
Good luck
If you cannot get into recovery just follow this video and you should be good to go. Make SURE and follow all instructions to a T or I cannot help you with any problems you may have.

boot into recovery(vol-up home pwr) and factory reset
Then boot to download mode(vol-dwn home pwr) and flash this in the pda slot of odin http://goo.im/devs/billard412/d2spr...s/(NO WIPE)Official_jb_lj7_rooted_deodex-1.7z
You can also do what he said go to recovery volume up and power plus home button and factory reset then flash a tw rom . Just helped my friend who did the same thing .I think the problem might be dirty flashing from tw to cm10 without factory resetting. Good luck this is just another way if you don't know how or don't have Odin.

You need to do vol up + home + power for recovery; down is download mode. Once in recovery just do a full system wipe, then flash it again. if you got stuck on a bootloop, you either didn't wipe correctly or flashed a bad zip with it, or a kernel that didn't match the framework.
Go into download, use Odin to reflash both, boot into CWM and restore backup (Assuming you did a backup).
I tried to flash a rom on my e973 and i factory reset,wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, formatted system and went to flash the room but i clicked the wrong thing (CWM) and it froze. so i went to reboot and when i did it shows the lg logo comes on for a second, the screen goes black and then turns off. I can't get into download mode either... help!
I did something similar today too, I accidentally wiped my internal sdcard instead of /system. Oops!
Can you get to fastboot by holding Power and Volume Up until you see the LG logo?
From there press Vol Down two times then Power. Should take you to recovery. If you have a backup there you are all set.
In my case it looks like I will have to do a KDZ restore. If you do that be careful to use the D version because E is locked.
I did that and it turns my phone off or it shows the lg logo, then a black screen and then turns off.... Do you think I should take It in ?
Fixed it thank you very much

How did u fix it?
I ended up fixing mine by putting the phone into fastboot mode, then CWM (vol down, vol down, power), then I connected to the phone using adb shell. I made a new folder in adb shell "mkdir /sdcard/AAA" then I copied in the new rom. I flashed the rom immediately with CWM and everything is back to normal. I am using Houstonn's debloated ICS rom it is very good so far. Remember to upgrade your CWM to 6.0.2.3 (recommended) and make a new nandroid backup.
I was going to flash a new ROM on my DHD and did the usual steps: backup using TB, reboot to recovery, factory reset and then go find zip to install on SDCARD. But this time instead of finding my zips I had already transferred, I found none. So I mounted the SDCARD through the recovery menu and transferred the zip using my laptop.
I still couldn't see the zips, so I chose to reboot the phone from the recovery menu. Booted into old ROM, completed the setup wizard and rebooted to recovery again. Still no zips! So I turned the phone off and was just going to boot straight to recovery using VOL UP and POWER but then I only got three short vibrations and nothing happened, so I booted again to ROM and rebooted to recovery from there.
This time nothing happend, nothing at all. And now I'm stuck where I cant boot it, not to recovery, not to HBOOT and not to ROM. Tried taking out the battery and putting it back in. Tried turning it on using just POWER, using VOL UP and POWER, using VOL DOWN and POWER - and in different time length combinations. adb reboot bootloader cant find the phone. The LED doesn't light up when plugged to USB.
ROM: JELLYTIME for DHD/Inspire4g - 4.2.2 R4
Recovery: ClockworkMod
I'm guessing my DHD is completely bricked, right?

Oh dear poor you, I'm no expert, but unless your battery is dead, I'd say you killed your phone. Can't even get into recovery yikes.

If your battery is dead you may need to ask a friend to charge it for you? If your phone still boots into recovery you havent killed your phone, if you go to the htc web site & look for the correct software for your phone you may have to apply that to reboot your phone again, but after you will need to root again? But first try another rom a stable one & try doing this - factory reset/full wipe, then wipe cache, then wipe dev cache, then fash the new rom. Hope this helps

Posting here since I can not post on the development board yet.
F240L here, coverted it to e988 using the g2 apps rom v5 and i'm pretty happy with it but had some questions.
1. How do I get into recovery? Should I use the recovery app in the utility apps folder? Or is it safer to get into recovery when booting up?
2. Can I update to v5.5 from v5? Or do I have to go back to stock and then go to v5.5? Im guessing going back to my backup before flashing the rom would work, but it would be nicer if I could skip that step.
Any answers would be appreciated, thanks!
You can boot into recovery with whatever apps in utility folder, freegee offers a reboot function too. I don't think there is such a thing as it is safer to boot into recovery from powered off, I forgot the key combination for booting into recovery from powered off . You don't have to go back to stock to "upgrade" to v5.5. You probably won't see much improvement , also there's been report of instability of the v5.5 build.
For boot into cwm: volume up, home and power off/on button

Thanks for the replies, guess I'll hold off on changing to v5.5 then.

Suffice to say it would be safe for you as well to know how to boot to recovery manually, especially when in bootloop situations. On my part I'm able to boot to recovery by 1.) pressing and holding both Vol. Up button and Power button, up until LG Logo appears then 2.) Once the LG screen disappears, i just constantly press Vol. down button twice then Power button afterwards. If the LG Logo re-appears i just keep on doing step 2.
As for g2 apps v5.5 rom, i just flashed it today,i'll try to be your notify you of any glitches i may encounter
