So im kinda stuck atm. My screen is broken so i cant use the bottem half of the screen and trying to flash a zva>zvc it flashed the 2.6.3.3 twrp which doesnt work with a mouse via otg. I dont know how to flash a different recovery because it automaticly boots into twrp every time. Normally i would just use the tot i have but now my phone just gets stuck at the download mode screen and wont progress any further.
Is there a soulition or am i stuck like this till i get a screen replacement.
Tried flashing twrp 2.7 to the boot partition and now i got a verification error and still cant start the downlaod mode.

I am soft-bricked (I hope). A boot jig does nothing for me, but I am able to get into twrp recovery. It won't let me flash my current rom though (Mijjz). What should I do? (I am able to access odin through the twrp recovery right now though, and the computer does recognize it.) I am not able to boot directly into it. When attempting to flash in twrp it can't verify the partition size. I believe this is emmc?

So this got my phone to boot again (yay) and now it can go into download mode and such, but my phone appears to be in a boot loop of the sprint logo, turning on and off. =( now what?
Edit #2: I am posting how I got this running for future visitors with my issue to see that there is hope of getting there device back online . So after I was able to get into download mode, I was able to go and flash the El26CWM and then do a Wipe on everything. I then was able to flash my favorite ICS rom, and get on my way. Unfortunately somewhere along the way my Modem got wiped out so I had to go back into download mode to flash it, and I found a new issue. For some reason, my phone still refuses to enter download mode without a jig. So I put my jig in, and downloaded the modem. All is working now (except I still can´t figure out why I need a jig to enter download mode, and the recovery wont boot for me either. It just goes and boots up normally. Its like until the Rom is loaded, it doesn´t take any imput from the buttons. I´m now running an FF18 kernel, so I find this to be odd, but at least I have a working device. Now I´m off to buy myself a nice memory card to compensate for the lost 8 gigs. The only thing that I can think of that may be causing the no download mode issue (although I can´t see why or how) is that I had a custom splash screen (not boot animation, splash screen) before I corrupted my emmc. Throughout the whole process of restoring, it displayed my custom one, except when I put on EL26, it went back to the Normal Boot screen. (the only time since the emmc screwed up that my buttons responded) But when I flashed back up, the custom one came back, and my controls to get into recovery and download mode stopped working again.
Hey guys.
Problems began when I flashed CM11 over stock 4.1.2 on my Optimus G and later decided to go back to stock again.

But later I tried to install another recovery with Rom Manager and after succes mesage I reboot device and now I have nothing more that a black screen. The device is recognized when pluged in.
Please what can I do

Hello,
Here is what led to my issue:
I rooted my phone using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38886073#post38886073
Downloaded clockwork rom manager.
Here comes the thing I don't remember. At least i know that the last thing i did was to click on 'backup current rom'
After this the phone reset itself and this message came up:
Secure booting error!
Cause: boot certification verify
Then i tried to reset using the power button, which led me to the 'battery full' screen - afterwards i was able to reboot. As stupid as I am I just tried the same thing again. And ever since i am stuck at the 'Secure booting error!' screen.
I am unable to enter download mode. I get to the 'Hard factory reset' screen, but if i accept doing so, it says 'Secure booting error!' again.
I also remember clicking on 'restart into recovery mode' at some point, but this is not the last thing i did.
I am really desperate. Please, help me!
Well i had the same issue today... It happened after i did two changes. One of them was to to try to relock from freegee and flash twrp again from freegee. In my case i was able to go in download mode and flash original kk rom with lg flash tool.
Unfortunatly, trying to boot in downloadmode, i still get the same error :/

How are you trying to boot into download mode? And what factory reset screen? It seems as though you did not unlock the bootloader using freegee, if you make any changes and relock the boot loader you will get that error. But it seems that it has not been unlocked. If you hold power and volume up what happens? Same thing when power and volume down, one of them is recovery (possibly factory reset you are seeing) and the other is download mode. I don't remember right now but you should read the whole softbrick thread and see if you are missing something. You may need to use LGPNST to go back to stock, you can also use that program to flash a new recovery so read carefully and follow all steps.
When this happened to me I was able to flash an unlocked bootloader and it allowed me to use my phone again as it was before doing something stupid (for me it was an attempt to re lock the bootloader).
well, i managed to get into download mode. Obviously i used the wrong method to get into download mode...
I used this method and everything worked fine, so far. : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249500
My phone doesn't boot now. Fast Boot doesnt work aswell.
All that happens is a white battery showing on the screen and when i try to fastboot all that happens is that the LED is blinking or glowing red after some while.

What do you mean when you try to fastboot? Fastboot is basically the bootloader and allows you to select recovery or download mode. What you should have done after following that thread is go to recovery and wipe everything and flash a new ROM.
If you are saying that the bootloader is not coming up and allowing you into recovery then I believe something was missed.
After trying out some varioants of this it worked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40274560&highlight=red+led#post40274560
I wiped the phone, but since I had to leave over the weekend i just turned it off and went away.
Now that I am back, nothing works now :/ The Phone doesnt react to anything, not even donwload-mode.
Is the battery too low maybe? It's on the wall now for a few hours, but it still doesn't react. It's not warm either.
edit:
when i charge the phone, i will get a 'watchdog bark' after some time allowing me to get into recovery. accesing downloadmode from there doesn't do anything. strangely, the recovery isnt trwp although it should be because teenybin comes with it. it's 'bbs.gaodi.net' which doesn't have a sideload feature. what do i do now?
edit2:
after 10000 tries i got into download mode. i don't want to **** up now so i won't do anything until i know exactly what to do.
any advice?
edit3:
got it working by flashing another teenybin which included trwp - then i installed miui via sideload. i don't have signal though, but i will open another thread for this since this is another issue.
Hi I've been searching for a while now but I can't find a topic on this yet.
Recently it rooted my phone but now when I try turning it on it gets stuck at the loading screen, ok. Now then I managed to get to the boot loader from here I go to the recovery option,now here is the problem when I select the recovery option the phone will either go back to the boot loader or will not turn back on. Also in this state my PC cannot see my phone as a device. PS I cant even get to the error screen most people seem to get when they go to the recovery option.
Any help will be much appreciated.
flash twrp recovery 2.8.7 again with adb Push from fastboot.. it worked for me
Hello guys,
Thank you for reading, any help is appreciated.
My device was running the latest release of CM13 (cm-13.0-20160418-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2NK-serrano3gxx) and TWRP v3.0.2-1
So yesterday afternoon my phone randomly shutdown and I was unable to get it turned back on until this morning.
However though when i did manage to get it powered on after hours of failed tries it was stuck on the Samsung boot screen.
I've since tried to access the TWRP Recovery (Pwr + Vol Up + Home) but it sticks on the TWRP slash screen and then attempts to reboot normally (which as i said stick on the Samsung boot screen).
I also tried re-installing TWRP via Odin and it appears to be installing properly and successfully but when i attempt to access TWRP it again sticks on the splash screen,
I've also tried installing CWM Record via odin and that also appears to be installing properly and successfully but when I attempt to access the recovery I am yet again greeted with the TWRP Slash Screen which has lead me to believe something is going wrong.
Any ideas or suggestions as to what may be going on here ?
Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.
Hey again guys,
I have tried installing stock rom via Odin, It says Pass but nothing at all seems to be changing.
I'm beginning to think Odin may really not be working at all or something is wrong with the phone
Update: I tried flashing TWRP recovery via Heimdall and it appears to have completed successfully saying "RECOVERY upload successful" but when i reboot immediately after into Recovery mode it still sticks at the TWRP 3.0.0-0 Splash Screen then attempts to reboot normally which as mentioned earlier also sticks on samsung slash screen
