OK, trying to install CM10.2, which requires TWRP 2.6.3.0. So I installed GooManager from play store and updated to 2.6.3.0, now my phone won't boot, black screen after the samsung logo. It won't boot to system, won't boot to recovery.
I have usb jig, so I can go to download mode.
So how do i fix this?
OK, flashed twrp via odin, see pics.

Oh man. You're not the only one.
This happened to me yesterday. I had to flash back to stock. Now, I am about to root again. Good luck, mate.
This seems to happen with Goo everytime there's a new version of TWRP. I have read that the easiest fix is to flash the TWRP tar file with Odin. Every post I have read, said that everything was fine after that. Sounds like Goo doesn't mess with anything but the recovery in those cases. I used this fix once when I flashed a recovery zip that didn't work.
As of date. It appears Goomanager is the culprit.
I installed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.0-hercules.tar using odin since goo obviously doesn't work... but I can't seem to boot past the teamwin screen... any pointers?

GooManager updated me to 2.6.3.0, now when I reboot, I see Samsung splash screen for a few seconds and then a black screen of death, won't boot, won't go into download mode no matter what I do. tried rebooting with both vol keys pressed down, tried holding vol keys down while inserting usb cable, tried rebooting while holding the down volume key, tried rebooting holding vol keys and power then releasing power. Nothing works. If anyone can help me get into downlaod mode, I'd appreciate. From there, I can revert back to 2.6.1.0
if you cannot go to download mode, you need USB Jig, check it here:

Use USB jig to get into download, then follow the 2 photos I pasted at the 1st post to Odin 2.6.1.0

In case you missed it. You have to remove the battery. (it would be nice if this helps your problem)

Jig not working either
So, as mentioned before, GooManager updated me to TWRP 2.6.3.0, and now I can't boot past samsung splash screen. No method I used would get me to download mode so I took the advice in the thread and bought a USB Jig. Even removing the battery and leaving it out for 2 minutes and then reinserting it, followed by inserting the jig in the charger port and waiting, and nothing happens. Turning the device on with the jig in the port also does nothing but a quick flash of the splash screen logo and then darkness forever. Definitely doesn't bring up download mode or any kind of yellow triangle. Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? You'd think that as long as I can get to the samsung logo screen that there would be some way to recover this device and that I'm no hard bricked. Other people have managed to recover from the GooManger TWRP 2.6.3.0 issue, so why can't I?
shot my USB jig came in today & can't get it into to download mode at all NO
gata love odin it saves you every time
I accidentally formatted the system partition so the tablet will not boot. I can't get back in to TWRP, I didn't have anything to flash in there anyway because CM would fail. What can I do?
Thank you.

I realize why it didn't flash. Because I was using an older version of TWRP that wouldn't flash AOSP roms. Is there any way to boot to recovery from the device being off?
The method in the link doesn't seem to work anymore.
How far do you get in the boot? LG screen? When connect to PC do you get connect/disconnect sounds? Please answer the questions as I'm thinking about this. I can't find any key combos so we need to find out if we have a small window where we can talk to ADB.. Any connection sounds? How far do you get?
Are you familiar with ADB and Fastboot?

I don't hear any sounds. It just stays at the LG screen. I made it to the factory reset screen but it didn't do anything. I followed these steps:
Make sure your device is fully charged and turned off.
Simultaneously press and hold the power and volume down buttons.
When the LG logo shows up, release the power button only.
Now press and hold the power and volume up button while keeping your hold on the volume down button.
When the factory reset screen appears, release your hold on all buttons.
Press the power button to continue.
Press the power button again to confirm if you’re sure you wish to continue with the reset.

Okay, okay, I dunno what you can do maybe ADB Works in here: Turn off the device AND disconnect from PC. When shut Down, you DONT hold power, but hold Volume up + Volume Down, when you hold both, you plug in USB cable. This takes you to download mode. That is perhaps a step in the right direction if you can start ADB from download mode. Then you can boot into recovery. But I don't know. This is maybe the last option for you. No recovery key combo has been discovered yet. If you can do a fastboot boot recovery from download mode, that would be golden. Then you can use the SD Card to get back with the newest TWRP and the CM11 nightly. Please let me know if this Works man. I'm sorry for your loss, otherwise. Factory Reset, as you said, will not work, since there's nothing to "restore" from. You deleted it. :/
Unfortunately, ADB doesn't work in download mode.

Damn that sucks. I was looking around the G2 forums to see about download mode and what LG usually did with it. Apparently they are using something called KDZ files, and they are able to flash stock roms back onto the device with something called FlashTool. Now, if it were my tablet and it was in the state yours is, I would try and read the tutorial. And then I'd follow it step by step but instead of the G2 KDZ, I'd see if I could find a KDZ with a G Pad rom instead. And just.. Yolo that ****.. From download mode.
Here's the thread, if you wanna read it.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476. I dunno man. The LG Tool thing, maybe you should try and see what techrider6262 is saying, he might have an idea as well, otherwise, just go all out crazy and see if you can magically use the FlashTool on your G Pad instead of the G2, since they are from "same line up." I know that's not the same as same model and so on.. But still.. Download mode.. Is download mode. Ofc. the tool itself or the settings in the tool might not work.. But.. You know. Why not.. Can't hurt.. Download mode will prolly still be available afterwards.. "For science."
got the same problem. i couldnt i wiped all data on the tablet and couldnt select the rom from the ext.sd. now its stuck at the lg logo.

This guys.. Is for download mode fix. I am pretty sure this works. Since you have access to Dload mode. Good luck.
I use the download mode to install the original official rom.
1. Download the LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL by this link:http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-V500-White
2. install the software in computer, Plug in USB cable with computer, Open the software LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL.
3. Turn off Pad and unplug.
4. press hold both volume up and volume down, Then plug in usb cable, And then pad is in downlaod mode
5. USB driver will be insatlled automatically
6. In LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL, click option---.country and language-OK, then click option--upgrade recovery
7. It will installe original official rom automatically.
8. After about 1.5 hours, The pad will be installed the last official room.
^ This is a quote and now I shut down the thread, sorry, don't know who said it, just got stoked when I saw it.
thanks, the tool is downloading the rom. hope its works.
// it worked thanks a lot, will try to flash cm 11 tomorrow again.

That is GREAT!
Now remember mate, clear DATA in TWPR, not system.. Never system. Clear only data/factory reset, then just flash CM 11. Nothing else is needed. Remember to install superSU from market after you get booted, otherwise root will not work. Update Binary in SuperSU.
Okay thanks for your help. Its so stupid that there is no key combination for recovery.
I will use your advice and try it later.

There is...
With device powered off do this...
Hold volume key down and press and hold power button.
When LG Logo appears let go of just the power key while still holding the volume key down and then press power key again and volume up while still holding down the volume key.
You get to the factory reset screen and just keep pressing power until you get into recovery.

Hi I use a LG G3 and flashed a zip that was not designed for my phone (Validus-shamu-5.0.1.alpha.1.0-TEST-20141217-2151.zip) by a accident and rebooted, and now my phone has a black screen and the led is flashing red and blue (and said error: boot certification verify prior to that stage). How can I fix it?
Additional info: I was using the latest TWRP recovery, and own a d852 variant.
Any input would be appreciated! This is my only phone and I would like to resolve this as soon as I can.
UPDATE: i tried pressing power + up and now nothing reacts, even when i press other buttons. black screen. no LED.
UPDATE2: I removed the battery and put it back in, and now LED are back.
EDIT: FIXED. CLOSE THREAD PLEASE. got my solution from: "What you have to is power + vol down while off till you see the LG logo, then release then immediately press them again it should bring you to a factory reset screen select yes and you will boot into recovery." if people are interested.
I need help as well

It means not fully load.
Try to install the AUTORECAR in the Play Store.
Lol. The same thing happened to me on LG-D855. I flashed the TWRP recovery zip and new my phone is literally unusable. It doesn't boot into recovery or into anything else. Sigh.
EDIT: For the solution to this particular issue, head to this post.
Hi, yesterday I successfully did a clean install of OOS 4.0, including Magisk and systemless root. I had everything set up as I wanted it.
Today, I tried the 4.0.1 OTA, after using a Canadian VPN server. It downloaded fine (the full zip), and I launched the OTA.
Phone reboots... into nothing. Now the phone won't boot into recovery mode, or start the system. I thought it was odd, so I flashed stock recovery again (which is what was installed). Still can't boot. Then tried just booting into recovery over fastboot mode. Still no luck.
Then I managed to boot into a modded TWRP. That's something... But tried flashing the OTA from its temp location in TWRP. A couple of "command log" errors, but appeared to patch nonetheless.
Reboot to system though: black screen of nothing, again.
Anyone know what might be the issue, and why it happened after just launching an OTA through the stock dialogue?
Cheers :/

I feel your pain, brother! Can you get into fastboot mode okay?
I'm lucky that I have a 3.2.8 Nandroid backup on my Mac (if I can push it to the sd card -- had some issues doing that over adb lately!). I also have my app data backed up separately. So I'm happy to do a clean install of OOS 4.0/4.0.1, but as yet I can't even launch stock recovery to do so.
Weird.

Fastboot works just fine. I also tried flashing that blu-spark twrp recovery, hoping it would atleast decrypt data, so i could take some backup or something. But nothing is working. The phone keeps booting back in recovery no matter what i do, and when it doesn't ... it just stucks at 1+ logo.

I can get to a point of backing up if I want to. Though at the moment, I don't know what I'd backup (maybe just the system partition? I dunno).
I have the same thing: Can get the white 1+ logo, both capacitative button backlights show, the android text logo, but then black screen. Very frustrating. Let me know if you have any luck! I'll update here too.

Hokay, so let me recap a little.
I updated to OOS 4.0 from 3.2.8, and the only problem after a successful flash was that TWRP was not decrypting the storage, hence i wasn't able to root. I didn't touch anything after that, and kept the phone on same TWRP.
Just now, when i downloaded 4.0.1 OTA (using TurboVPN > Germany), i updated it right away, thinking it'd flash the stock recovery itself. Except, it didn't ... and what happened afterwards, we both know well.
Anyway, after trying A LOT of recoveries, this recovery seemed to work. Search for "recovery_OBT8N.img" ... its the stock recovery for oneplus 3. I flashed it in fastboot, then used 'fastboot boot recovery_OBT8N.img" command to directly boot the recovery. It worked, as the phone continued to update normally. Yay ... i guess.
Then later it was showing "Decrypting" message (after entering my PIN, ofcourse) ... but remained stuck upon completion. So I hard rebooted via long pressing power button ... and voila ... the phone booted just fine after that.
Well, here's my story. I really don't want to get into the trouble of rooting this sh*t for now. I have work tomorrow and i am already 4 hours late for sleep lol. So ... Good Night my friend. Thanks for your support.

Well, here's my story. I really don't want to get into the trouble of rooting this sh*t for now. I have work tomorrow and i am already 4 hours late for sleep lol. So ... Good Night my friend. Thanks for your support.

good thing it worked for you, it bugs me that i cant root the phone since the device doesnt get recognised in fastboot ,reinstalled all the drivers and all, nothing works
So latest update:
Following @abobobilly 's advice, I found this version of the stock recovery: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224405665
Flashed it in fastboot mode
Then booted it from fastboot mode.*
From there, I chose to update via sideload, and flashed the update 4.0 over adb.
"Install success"!
I've booted up into the system now, and everything is as I left it! Such a relief. (Don't have root anymore, but can sort that out.)
*At that point, the stock recovery loads (thank the lord...) and informed me that the update failed. Fine, don't care!

I had the same issue. The recovery seems to be a bit weird. I did it the old fashioned way: hold the power button till it forces itself off, then boot up

Tried this, now the phone wont turn on at all, slow red LED (battery was at 70%). Holding the power button results in the PC its connected to recognizing it with a sound, but nothing else happens

Can you still boot back into fastboot and/or recovery?

It's unresponsive. It doesn't turn on, it doesn't vibrate and it doesn't give a charging LED.
This is as bricked of a phone as I've ever seen

Edit: Nevermind? After playing around with button combinations it booted back into recovery somehow. Guess it's salvageable

Sorry to hear that. It's unlikely, but could be a battery issue if there was a major drain. So keep it on charge. (It may well be charging without the LED anyway.)
If not tried already, try launching fastboot mode manually with the power/volume key (can't recall which, Google it if you don't know)
Lastly, how long have you held the power key down for? A 30-second hold should launch it.
Other than any of these options, best bet is to make a separate thread asking for help or to follow a hard brick guide for the OP3.

I tried holding power for 40+ seconds and nothing, everything was totally dead. Then I clicked the power button about a minute later and it popped into recovery, gave me the option to derypt and wipe everything so I did and now I'm into a fresh 4.0.1 install.
Seriously, no damn clue how it happened or what could have caused any part of it but it works now. So for anyone with a bricked OP3: Just mash buttons

Luckily for you, it doesn't sound like a true hard brick. Sometimes power buttons are just funny like this. In my experience at least (I've come back from near death experiences in a similar way to you before).
In any event, well done! Always such a relief to get things working again.
HTC 10 was running Viper10 ROM, booted into download mode and ran fastboot oem lock so I can RUU and send my phone back for a return.
Phone now bootloops immediately after turning on, HTC logo comes on for a split second and it just turns off again. I can't access or do anything. I can't boot into recovery, the phone won't let me do anything.
Am I ****ed?
I had a very very similar issue. Was getting bootloops right after the bootloader which is a good sign, fyi. It's only a soft brick.
I fixed the issue by restoring my stock firmware via TWRP. that's always your safe place and seeing you're a senior member I hope you made TWRP backup before you got funky with flashing.

How do I boot into TWRP?
As soon as the phone turns on, it just instantly turns off again or it loops when it's plugged in until I unplug it.
No button combinations work and the PC won't detect it.

Phone was just S-on with unlocked bootloader.
I held down both volume buttons and the power button and it took me to bootloader mode, went to download mode from there and the RUU flashed and now phone is relocked and back to stock.
Thanks for your help.
