Okay, so I have a rooted, stock 4.4.2 G pad. I was never able to successfully get a recovery and I have no backups. The issue started when I used G2 xposed and I changed the multi tasking tiles. Now the navigation and status bars are no longer visible and I can't do anything in the tablet because the error message pops up and it won't let me navigate. The error comes back every time I turn the tablet on. Someone please help. ?
A factory reset should sort that out.

I sorrowfully don't have USB debugging enabled and I can't do so, and I can't go through the factory reset screen on the tablet because it thinks I have a custom recovery.

Have you tried the default way of factory resetting? from powered off do the following : hold power and volume down, when logo appears release power, now also hold volume up and hold power again so you have all buttons pressed. You should be given the option to reset.
Good luck.

I've tried that. When i do that, under where it says confirmed in the upper left hand, it says "Secure booting error!" I'm pretty sure it has to do with the failed custom recovery. Thanks for trying to help. (But don't think I wouldn't welcome more help )

Try restoring your tab to stock via the 'Link to LG mobile support tool'. There is a little video here showing you how its done https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASllzBNc6hw

You will need to touch quickly. Atfer the force close message close, you have .5 second to touch the screen before it shows up again.
Happened to mine. In my case, factory reset did not help. Flash stock kdz will solve the problem.

I booted my phone into recovery mode with ClockworkMod Recovery, and when I got to the screen with all of the options, every option resulted in a blank black screen. Now I can't even reboot my phone. I have tried taking out the battery and retrying multiple times, but it just keeps coming back... Is there any way to fix this?
Do a search for odin. You'll be able to revert to a stock (unrooted) state. From there, you can start anew.
Good luck!

I thought this might be an option, will try it... However, if i'm not mistaken, odin requires you to boot the phone into the download mode (holding 1 and power button), but i am unable to do this. As soon as I put the battery in, it goes to the Clockwork screen.

Make sure you use the camera button to select an option in clockworkmod. If you press the home button I believe the screen turns black.
Hummm. is the battery the sole power source? (i.e., not charging or usb'd up)

While attempting to get HDMI working, I stupidly enabled second screen in developer options in my aosp ROM, which immediately rebooted the phone. I'm now stuck in a loop whereby the phone boots and then restarts when loading the lock screen (presumably it's enabling the second screen).
Is there a simple way of resetting settings to default or bypassing this during boot? I'm away from home else I'd wipe and recover, so any help would be appreciated.
I'm using teamwin recovery if that's relevant.
Try clearing cache, if that doesn't work restore backup.
I think there is a safe mode, not sure how to activate it.
Also, factory reset is possible.

It can be activated only once the phone is booted afaik.

Thanks chaps,looks like a recovery cache didn't work. Lesson learned!
So you got out of boot loop or what?
Sorry, to clarify clearing cache didn't work. I ended up wiping and recovering.

I know this is an old thread but I think I found a solution.
If you wait until the boot animation is already showing and then hold down the buttons like you were trying to boot into recovery it should boot your phone into safe mode. Then you can go into settings and disable the second screen. It may be different on the one x than on my phone though. I have a note 2. I am just trying to keep anyone else who has this problem from having to wipe their device unnecessarily.

While attempting to flash PA Rom and Gapps, the device turned on and kept saying unfortanately, setup wizard has stopped.
a suggestion was to hold all three buttons at once for 15 seconds. Now the device is completely off screen and responds to no buttons. but when i plug it into PC it makes the sound of hardware connected. Please help
*update*
i fixed the black screen but now all i get is Unfortanately, Setup wizard has stopped
There is no way i can go to the settings to enable USB debugging.
there is no way i can access recovery without USB debugging
I can only access recovery with Nexus toolkit
which requires usb debugging
what do i do?

Make sure the device is turned off(press the power button for 10 seconds). Then press power & volume down until you get into the bootloader menu and from there get into recovery.
If you haven't made a backup in custom revoery then
Then connect Tablet to your PC and download+run this one click restore kit by ATGAdmin

Glad it worked, sorry I was busy playing BF4 and didn't tell you need to use volume key to scroll to recovery and then press power button to boot into recovery.
But that recovery mode picture alone is enough if you are running the one click restore tool.
I can use "adb reboot recovery" to enter TWRP 2.7 recovery mode, but I want to use key combination, please tell me how to that.
Hold Power + Vol Down > Wait until LG Logo pops up and release from both buttons > quickly hold Power + Vol Up + Vol Down again
It will pop up with some message about reset to factory settings, but it's all a bluff.
Hit Power x3 times to confirm and you'll get to TWRP recovery
Thanks, it works.
actually I enter this factory reset mode before, but i just don't know it a "fake".
so will this erase all data or not?

That will depend on whether you've installed TWRP or not.
If you've still got the original recovery it will wipe it like it says it will, if you've got a custom recovery it will take you to it.
The standard recovery isn't a recovery like you're expecting it to be, if just has a way of resetting things to default without allowing you to do anything extra. OEM don't like giving people options but want a way to reset to defaults that the customer can use before needing to return a faulty unit which might not be faulty. If that makes sense.

From what I can tell, it's not a "bluff". It seems that the stock recovery partition would just automatically do a factory reset, so it warns you before booting the recovery partition. Seeing as you're non-stock, it just boots into TWRP/CWM. It's a valid warning that's simply set up in a weird way.

You don't.
We'll you might be able to but you're going about it the wrong way.
First you need to find the right forum for your device, then you read, followed by more reading.
At some point you've hopefully discovered that you should have done all this reading before you reset your device.
Also before pressing the post button on your next post, read it first to make sure it makes sense.
Thank you very much, I tried other combinations found on some web pages that failed. This one worked!
Issue remains.

I got myself in a pretty bad situation. I have the stock rom. I am trying to get that back using recovery but it's not working. Only factory reset screen. This tablet stopped working in 2015. It cannot write ANY data ANYWHERE. Can't take pics, Can't take screenshots, Can't download apps. Nothing. I really want my tablet back... :/

Install LG software on your computer first. Then with the tablet completely off, hold VolUp and plug the tablet into the computer. That will enter LG download mode. Use the LG software on your PC to install the latest firmware available for your device. From there you can use the guides on this forum to go custom if you so desire.
I have a problem on my device I tried to replace rum and stuck in the middle and I turn on the phone it shows the logo of LG and stuck I also tried to burn Boot New Way rows CMD and after that I tried to reset the device I thought I left Rikover no Rikover so I can not install a device can a detailed guide of someone who knows it all because I am concerned that your device will not work Thanks in advance.

Try to go into recovery. Turn off your phone and turn your phone on with the power button + vol down. When the phone turns on,let go and press the same combo buttons again for a few seconds until it shows a factory reset. Click yes for both ( no it won't delete your data) and it will take you to TWRP
ןIt's still not working and I tried it yesterday and now it does not work because it is installed on the device Recovery So how do I solve this problem please help me!
Thanks in advance.
