I have done this before but I used what seems to be a different version of freegee (didn't have the option to backup efs or flash TWRP) so I unlocked my device and after it had completed I rebooted and then powered down. I put my phone in to CWM and flashed the stock debloated ROM. After flashing this ROM I was stuck in a bootloop. I ended up using LG Tool to get it back to stock. I thought it must have been a random once off issue so I tried again with Freegee, same thing happened, only this time no matter what I do I can not get LG Tool to fix the issue as it keeps giving me the error of low battery even though it is at full capacity. I then tried to use BC2 to flash a kdz file and I get the same error. I have since tried factory resetting, sideloading different recoveries, ROMs and basebands without boot. I have tried to use LG Tool about 50 times and it is not working. I have changed USB ports, reinstalled drivers etc, just keeps giving me that error. Yes I have set permission in the app and I am using Windows 7

Thank you, I will use that if I ever get LG Tool to stop throwing me the low battery warning. What a stupid program to not give you the option to bypass it. Surely there is a way I can do this. My battery is at 99%. I just flashing madmack hacked and lockified recovery and now I can't even get in to recovery to do sideloads. I am running out of options, my only way is to get LG Tool or B2C to work
EDIT* I have recovery back. GRR why is this stupid message about low battery keep popping up

have not tested this from cm rom but works from any stock. bytheway i have optimus G not pro
from recovery adb push rom.zip (your rom)
adb push rom.zip /sdcard/0
(0 required for cwm and cm10.2)
flash that rom
enable debugging
run lgflash tool one that supports large files or the online one it will pass the battery and auto restart in download mode there it will give error just unplug replug and retry and it will be flashed this time.

To anybody that faces the same issue:
in recovery sideload install madmacks TWRP file attached below
after that is installed flash CM11 using the same sideload
The command in adb is adb sideload (your file name in here without the brackets.zip) You must include .zip
It is strange because it didn't work the first 3 times I flashed the ROM and on the fourth it worked, so keep trying
i can fix bootloop to cwm or recovery just 2 minutes. but u have to backup your stock recovery fírst before install cwm or twrp.

Thanks for trying to help. I am not running stock and can not get a stock ROM to work (with locked bootloader obviously)
LG Tool is requesting for a TOT file which the E988 doesn't have, I have tried using E98810D_00.kdz file in the software field but it is not recognising the cab file. The DLL file is recognised but I don't know what else to do from there.
LG Mobile Support Tool keeps failing on me due to low battery error which as you can see, I have been trying my hardest to get it to work. Battery is at 99% but it still won't flash! - I am stuch with a custom ROM and a dodgy unlocked bootloader due to the latest release FreeGee.
I tried the old file you attached but it fails to download the image file to unlock my bootloaders, I guess because it is already unlocked.
What I need now is to find a way to relock my bootloader that doesn't involve LG Tool/LG Mobile Tool and then try the old FreeGee app again. Or I find a way to get passed this stupid battery warning

First try to use LG Mobile Tool. All files and instructions found here CLICK ME
If that doesn't work the follow the instructions I posted earlier and it will get your phone booting again. As for getting back to stock and unlocking the bootloaders without causing kernel issues, I am still waiting for a response from Seth. He has been making a lot of changing as this is a known problem. The latest version is supposed to work like it used to now.

Thanks! This worked 100%. Something's really up with the freegee CWM, totally useless. Had 3 days of a headache till I saw this post. I used to be a CWM guy, now TWRP all the way...! The interface is touch based and much easier to handle than CWM. Best of all it doesn't go into a bootloop! Cheers! :good::good:
This is really funny because I keep finding all these weird issues with my phone and because I am still under 10 posts I can't post in the appropriate threads to find a solution and I have to write here. I am trying to install TWRP and than Husen4u's 4.2.2 rom.
As Husen4u helped me on a message he suggested I should flash KK beta instead of CN118 in order to avoid the brick chance before I flash the last TWRP recovery. I am now on 4.4.2 beta. I do exactly as the guide suggests to install TWRP recovery and I can't get into TWRP recovery after installing it, I just get stuck in Ascend logo screen. Even though I get the report that TWRP-recovery flashed succesfully and the phone reboots back into the system. What is the problem in this case?
Judge teptrar
Problem solved, I needed the TWRP especially for KK only! Even though the other was supposed to work too it had some issues. But can I use that to install a 4.2.2 rom? I guess I can?

Another funny bug, I wanted to switch to B118 recovery to apply an update and when I did the bug returned! you can't upload original rom if you don't put in internal storage now (like it was in the beginning). Also I have noticed the vibration stays on for as long as you are on original recovery
can't flash a CWM recovery on my wife's E980 using Freegee....Mine is the white one and I had no loki issues with it...everytime you flsays:
"checking if loki-ifying is needed/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc. /by-name/boot needs lokifying. [-] Failed to find function to patch.
Error loki-ifying the boot image. "
yes I did use Freegee already and install CWM. When I booted it gave me this...I can't install any ROMS. yet my other G Pro (white) is fine and hasn't given me any issues. RIght now I'm stuck with it booting into clockwork by itself. And I would like to use TWRP but the version that comes with Freegee doesn't work right on the damn screen. If it's not bootlooping into Clockwork then it gets frozen at the LG screen with something about security crap. and the funny part is...I used Freegee both times.
EDIT: used LGFlashTool to bring it back..but she wants a custom ROM and every recovery I flash to it either
1. used this recovery. tried flashing using a CWM recovery that I used from Freegee http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2552611
freezes at the LG screen with a SECURITY ERROR on the left corner of the screen (flashtools will fix)
2. When I do successfully flash a recovery using Freegee and I get it to boot into CWM it won't come back out of CWM it will boot automatically into it (LGflashtools will fix)
3. the freegee TWRP in won't work right with the touch screen.
Yes I saw that there are 2 topics similar to this, but they are G2's. Mine is an AT&T E980 that i'm having issues with.
I had exactly this same problem. I'm also on AT&T E980 and could not find a fix anywhere for this phone. I flashed back to stock so many times that I was ready to just get rid of it. What I finally noticed was that, if I flashed back to stock and took the update to E98010P, I could flash TWRP through FreeGee and the touch would work. I also used VooDoo OTA to preserve root through the update. I don't know if it was necessary, but it didn't cause me any problems and everything worked.
I have no idea why CWM stopped working and I could not use Phil's recovery either, but the whole experience has been maddening and I have never had so many problems with a phone before. Hope this helps.
i have the same annoying problem!
can someone help?
after the rom flash was done i've got the error so i immediately restored my backup

so...Root using the old firmware...voodoo OTA then update?...and then restore root and then Freegee should work fine with TWRP?
ive installed the twrp recovery and the flash completed , but the idiot checked the MD5 than skipped it than finished and on the bottom line just did NOTHING!
what the hell!
what is going on with this phone! so frustrating ...
Yeah, I went back to stock, rooted and installed FreeGee and Voodoo, then took the update and flashed TWRP thru FreeGee.

Ok I have used CWM from FreeGee and used the Carbon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439911) ROM and it does not need lokifying for my AT&T E980. It loads fine. I'm looking for a way to fix the lokifying thing though as I can't flash too many ROMs, a lot need lokifying.
I've personally had no issues on my E980 using TWRP flashed by FreeGee, but you can always try the "hacked" TWRP provided by @madmack

Hi all!!!
I am starting this thread because after searching I am still puzzled about this bumped thing.
I am new to LG G3 and have just recieved my phone back after bricking it few weeks ago. I am now more aware of how easy Lg is to brick. so before I jump into rooting again I want to know
exactly what is going on.
some Q:
what does bumped do?
Does it need to be bumped?
Can I get back to stock without bump? or with it?
before I used drake root them flashed twrp in flashify work fine then i flashed ota stock and got bootloader error. no download, no recovery.
Dont want to go there again
My Phone Model: D855 soft:V20f-twn-xx
Thanks
Bump! Bump!
Bump is how we trick the bootloader Sri that we can install custom roms and kernels.
When you are rooted do not take ota's. You have learned the hard way what can happen when you do
Thanks for reply! But what if we don't use bumped twrp for recovery and flash normal twrp recovery & ROM like a normal device?? Does this make it impossible to go back to stock or something??or will it break the boot loader??
You must use bump or you will end up in a boot loop
I think I may have done the same thing with my install of TWRP (a month or two ago). I have TWRP 2.8.0.0 installed, but how can I tell if I have the bumped version? If I don't can I install the bumped version using Recovery without getting stuck in a bootloop? If not, is there to uninstall TWRP and then install the bumped version?
Yes, install the latest twrp for your device in recovery.
Thanks ... all good, now have a bumped version of TWRP installed.
Hi... The bump stuff is something that make me confused too... In my old Galaxy S3 we just have to install custom recovery and start flash roms...
However, in my G3, i just install flashify, flash recovery from flashify and start to flash roms normally... Never understand what bump stuff is and never got a bootloop. Flash lots of roms without problem. If you dont to simplify the process just install flashify and start flashing roms you want
flashify isn't simplifying anything. It's bottle feeding you. It's making you dependent to Flashify. It's making you no nothing about your phone, adb commands, Bump, custom recovery etc..
If something breaks and you end up in a bootloop, let's see what flashify is going to do for you. If you know your adb commands and fastboot commands you know how to push zip files to your file or reboot into recovery/download mode from the terminal and much more.
I have an LG g3 d850 and I made it bump. I see in many forums many opinions about the bump, among them that you can only flash roms previously bumped, but I just flicked my cell phone a lollipop rom that did not say I was bumped and it's all good. I will be free to flash any rom of any version (either MM and then download to lollipop) without problems? In my Note 4 I only had to flash the rom according to the bootloader version and it worked all right! But I see that everything is difficult with the process of bump the cell phone. I do not see many roms "bumped" in the forums and I feel limited and I think that if it is not bumped I can not flash it? it is right? I have some doubts
Hey guys,so heres the problem...recently i had to use the LG Support Tool and prior to this i was v50020d. When the tool had finished restoring the stock ROM,it upgraded me to v50020f. So i went and successfully rooted it with KingoRoot surprisingly enough with no trouble at all. I then tried to install TWRP Recovery,through the TWRP app,Flashify,Rashr and i even tried Fastboot and ADB which im led to believe don't work with the v500 but i still tried it and had absolutely no success at all in installing TWRP. I have tried flashing every version of TWRP from 2.8.7.1 back to 2.6.3.0 i think using all those apps mentioned above. So i came on here to XDA to see could i find any solution to my problem but no luck either but i did find a post where a script was used,edited and apparently worked. I downloaded the zip file that was used in this process,edited the runme.bat file by changing the last letter of the build to f which would correspond to my build which is v50020f. I saved the edited file and then ran the script which when finished told me that recovery had been installed so i rebooted the G Pad,it started up,the blue teamwin screen came up and then it just hung there for hours! Thats was it nothing more. No recovery installed. So then i went and used Flashify & flashed `twrp-2.8.7.1-v500.img´ and when i rebooted i got 'secure booting error,cause:device unlock:so boot success!!' rebooted the G Pad again and the same thing happened blue teamwun screen loads and then nothing,no recovery. So i flashed the same recovery image with TWRP Recovery app and when it was finished i got the message 'Success!! Flashing recovery was successful,would you like to attempt rebooting into recovery? so i did and again the same thing happened. Teamwin blue screen and nothing more. When i check TWRP Recovery app afterwards it tells me that there is no recovery installed or it us not recognised. Can anybody please,please,please find a solution to my problem? Oh yeah,i even tried booting into recovey by using the power and volume up and down trick too and got the same result. Thank you so much guys...hope you can help.
I think I've seen that in order to install TWRP on the V500 is similar to how on my VK810 variant, at least the part that requires downgrading your bootloader. If it's like the VK810, it has to be the bootloader from 4.2.2. I'm sure there's TWRP threads in these sections, specifically for the V500 that give the details and files.
I'd love to know a way too. I just rooted which went great, but I have the V50020f and don't want to do another thing until I see what happens in this thread. After years of flashing and rooting I finally hard bricked my Lenovo Yoga 10 and this is my replacement tablet, so I don't want to chance it at all. Until I read a concrete solution for this build I'm staying where I am.
That wall of text is really hard to read @[email protected]!c, when I first saw it I was too tired to try and decipher it so ignored it. Now I've had another look.
Have you tried downgrading to an older firmware which people have had success with?
I had trouble when I first got this tablet but kept reading the forum and found a method to downgrade, it isn't pretty but eventually it worked. As I'm new to this device I'm not overly familiar with the different official firmware versions so I'm not exactly sure what you've got.
My tablet was more complicated as the LG tool put the Chinese, no Google apps, version on for me as that is where it was bought. So I had to downgrade so I could get apps from the Play Store to flash my recovery!
So patience and research will reward you.

Hi!! I'm in the same boat! Any chance you were able to work out a solution? Thanks so much for any help!!
I know it didn't work for the OP, but coming from bone stock v50020f, I successfully rooted using ioroot25r1, updated Supersu through playstore, then using flashify i installed TWRP 2.8.7.1 (newest I think). Once booted into TWRP recovery, I wiped cache, data, and system, and then installed AOSP Marshmallow. All went smooth as silk, no problems at all. Now I can finally stop being jealous of my wifes Nexus 7!! Hope this helps some.

Thanks.!
i have just used twrp manager apk from playstore (similar to flashify) to get TWRP 2.8.7.1 on stock v50020f, rooted using ioroot25r1 on a mac, with updated Supersu through playstore. just had to run the apk twice as it failed first time, and have booted into twrp recovery.
Had the same problem with the recovery but worked by rooting and flashing recovery with flashify.
