If you are stuck in boot loop or you just have the LG logo showing on the screen with green LED then I have one solution for you to try out before giving up on the Great G2.(Works for just LG G2 LS980)
Prerequisite files :
1. TWRP recovery (or CWM)
2. ZV8 radio file ("lgls980_zv8_radi0.zip" google it)
3. Cyanogenmod 11 zip file ( worked for me, any other roms might work may be )
I got myself soft bricked when i flashed a modded camera app file on a custom G3 rom for G2. The phone was booting up but nothing happened after LG logo.
The actions which lead to soft brick:
1. Installation of Kitkat baseband for LS980
2. Inatallation of G3 ported rom
3. Flashing of Moddedcamera app via zip
If you are also ended up in bootloop after similar steps then this method will 99.99% should work for you.
In other cases give it a try as CM11 is very safe rom and also zv8 flash is required to make CM11 to work.
The solution I tried out unsuccessfully were,
1. Clear dalvik /cache (using recovery) and reboot
2. Get into recovery and flash Stock backup (Stock 4.2.2) from TWRP
3. Flash Cyanogenmod Nightly after clearing dalvik, cache, system and data. (NEVER WIPE INTERNAL STORAGE in G2)
4. Flash the Custom G3 ported rom again.
all of this failed and I was still either stuck at LG logo or bootloop and then I realized I had ZV8 radio file on my phone and I thought of giving it a try.
Steps I did and that worked for me:
1. I did full wipe :dalvik+cache+data+system (NO INTERNAL STORAGE)
2. I flashed Cyanogenmod 11
3. Flashed ZV8 radio
4. Reboot and it gave the big CM logo for a minute and booted up nicely.
I think the problem was with flashing of Kitkat baseband (one of the steps in flashing G3 ported rom on G2) it might have messed up something for Cyanogenmod not to work and flashing ZV8 fixed it for CM 11.
Hope this info help some G2 owners and save few G2's from turning into a brick.
Even if this does not work for you there are few ways to go back to "stock firmware" those might help you out.
Can you pls tell if your Sprint LS980 is working with any local GSM with mobile data after flashing CyanogenMod 11 & ZV8 radio?

For The Note 4 Mini S6 V6 TWRP is necessary don't use Philz Touch
Have you tried to remove the battery and restart after the clean install?
I think you should start with a clean base by reflashing a Rom Stock by Odin look on sammobile.com
REroot
Reflash recovery TWRP
And reflash this V6
Perhaps THe V6 Works but I recomend V5 for the moment and waiting for the next version
I wonder..

K! by far, you also formatted and used Philz!
Now i suggest you flash Stock rom(hence stock recovery will also be added).
Then if bootloop occurs, remove battery, insert and go to stock recovery and clean cache partition and factory reset
switch on, then go to odin mode and flash philz and then Format/do clean wipe,flash Note4mini and then factory reset(format)/'do clean wipe' .
Clean steps,i hope they help!
Hit Thanks if i helped,and spread Cheers
my lg was running stock kitkat then i rooted it correctly then i installed TWRP
i rebooted into recovery then i wiped all and format all
then i restart and i stucked into lg boot
i still can acsess download mode
Help please
Why did you wipe and format everything without flashing a new rom? Can you still access TWRP? If so, just pick whatever rom you want to flash and flash it.

Boot Loop
Hi , So my problem as i mentioned in the title , im facing the boot loop i just get logo and nothing else
I flashed custom ROM CM 12.1 , to be clear i was running that rom very well and then reflashed the stock rom for it ..
what happened is : i downloaded the official cm 12.1 from the cm site and gapps ,, boot into recovery ..
- Wiped cache
-wiped system
-wiped data
-system reset
-install zip
-reboot
and got stuck in the cm logo ,, i fixed that problem before but i can't remember how now , i need help from you guys because of course you know better than i do
What recovery are you using? You'll want to make sure you're on the latest version.
Edit: solution added
problem:
after flashing a rom (in my case OP3lite or FreedomOS) you can't get past the boot logo
you have access to TWRP, so you can restore nandroid or flash flashable stock OxygenOS packages (tutorial here)
solution:
wipe: Dalvik /ART Cache, Cache, Data, System
flash your rom
try to boot (most likely will get stuck at boot logo)
boot into TWRP > Advanced > Fix Contexts, and swipe to Fix Contexts
Reboot
(wait a while, it might take a few minutes till it boots)

original post:
hi,
I'm running official OxygenOS 3.1.3.
Rooted (systemless) , TWRP installed.
I don't have any problems on my rom, but everytime I flash a rom I get stuck at the boot logo.
I can just force reboot, goto twrp and restore my nandroid backup, and my phone works fine again.
But I can't flash any rom.
tried this:
Dirty flash OP3Lite rom - stuck at boot logo
wipe and install OP3Lite rom - stuck at boot logo
Restored nandroid backup, factory format, wipe and install OP3Lite rom - stuck at boot logo
wipe and install FreedomOS - stuck at boot logo
Restored nandroid backup, factory format, wipe and install FreedomOS - stuck at boot logo
wipe, Format userdata throught fastboot, install FreedomOS - stuck at boot logo
update to OxygenOS 3.2.1 (flashable zip throught twrp)
wipe and install FreedomOS - stuck at boot logo
Both roms I tried are OxygenOS 3.2.1 stock based, my problem is most likely not due to the rom I want to flash.
Anyone knows a solution for this?
is it possible that systemless root causes this problem?
are you encrypted? that might be the issue.
backup your internal sd data then go to fastboot and fastboot format userdata then flash the rom you want

I never did format my userdata throught fastboot, so I might be encrypted.
I'll try tomorrow and let you know if that was the solution.
@Abaddon I format my userdata throught fastboot (fastboot format userdata), but still roms wont go past the Logo . any other idea?
did you full wipe?
wiped /system too before flashing a rom then u go and flash the rom + gapps if needed
how long was it at the boot logo? no animation correct?
did u advance wipe - data, caches, system instead of factory wipe, try it 3 times
I did a few wipe 3 times, still stuck at logo.
I get stuck on this logo, never reboot, just get stuck there.
I noticed that it does flash the rom, cause if I restore my nanodroid backup layers and adblock is added.
I also get zero error while flashing in twrp.
I fixed it .
did a fill whipe, then flashed feedomOS, then tried to boot, didnt get past the logo, booted into recovery, selected "fix Contexts" and then rebooted, started without any problem .
doesent work for me..!! any help

hello guys. sorry if I'm a bit slow on this topic. I'm using the the op3t A3010 version (not dure whether I'm at the right forum or not lol) Recently I updated my phone to the new 4.1.7, in which I had already rooted the phone before with magisk v12. But right after the update, as usual, the phone will unroot and yes I did root the phone back by using the magisk v13.0 version. But it failed the safety net. So after a few 'research', I installed the superuser just in case that the safety net will work this time. But this is when it all went wrong. The phone did restart back to factory settings, but the phone is not rooted (checked by using the rootchecker app) So again, I'm back to the twrp recovery, clean wipe all the data, with hope that I can start from scratch which is from installing the magisk all over again. But after this step, it stuck at the boot logo for like more than half an hour. Than at this moment, I restart my phone back to recovery mode by long pressing the power button, and when I try to install both the magisk 12 and 13 version, there is a line of error code on the screen. There's a site that says simply go to the advance setting on the twrp interface, check fix contents and ur phone will be as good as new. After done doing that, I'm now stuck with a phone with no os installed and about 38% battery left. Can anyone help me here? This is the only phone that I had :crying: Urgent help needed here guys
Unless your original installation is without storage encryption (no dm-verity) this will happen. So next time install custom rom after flashing OB22 firmware+modem, then boot patch for dm-verity followed with custom rom and gapps then boot without wipe
i have the same problem but with p9 lite : when i tried a flash lineageOS or ResurrectionRemix my phone stucks at boot logo and when i flash the original os my phone works perfectly
sorry for my english
