Hey all,
I installed TWRP last night with the one-click installer, afterwards I installed CyanogenMod and wanted to install a clean TWRP image (The one-click installer was themed, I wanted it stock), so I used TWRPs built-in image flashing (Install > Image) to flash a stock TWRP image, since then I've been unable to boot into TWRP.
I've tried flashing the image again via Flashify and it doesn't work. I'm still able to boot into and use my phone, however I can't enter recovery at all, it just stays at the black LG screen. I've also tried turning the phone off, holding the power + volume down buttons, after entering into the screen where it asks you if you want to factory reset, I pressed yes twice and it froze.
I have a T-Mobile LG G4 (H811), does anyone have any ideas?

Just fix mine same problem! Go to play store and get TWRP Manger and install g4 international recovery only g4 recovery downloadable on the app! It will at least get recovery back.
Now get the correct recovery for h811 and install it in twrp not twrp manager.
That's how I got mine working hope it works for u!

I spent hours trying to find a fix! KDZ back to stock 3 times and flashify like 10 times nothing !
Trust me it works! Sounds stupid and goes against any thing I would normally do. But it works!!!

Flashing the international TWRP actually worked..
After flashing the international TWRP image, I'm able to boot into both recovery and system, however when flashing the T-Mobile TWRP image, I'm only able to boot into my system, recovery will just stay at the black LG screen.
Anyone have any ideas?

so i just ran LGNPST to get to ZV7, then i updated to ZV8
once i was on ZV8, i rooted and unlocked bootloader successfully using GAIO v1.50
i'm having problems booting into my custom recovery TWRP, after i install the custom recovery using GAIO
i try to shutdown the phone and boot into recovery, but every time i try i get a quick screen of the lg logo then it goes black and it doesn't load the os.
i cant even get to fast boot, so what i've done from here (the past 5 times) is i run LGNPST again and start all over again.
i tried the FreeGee method of installing the custom recovery but the results are the same..
any ideas?

If it says your phone is unsupported then you are trying to load cwm on your phone which shouldn't be needed as free gee should load it on your device(if I remember correctly. Been a while since I unlocked). He is saying that he used it to boot into recovery not load cwm.
I assume that's what he is saying and you are doing if I'm wrong feel free to correct.
You could also install ROM toolbox scroll to the very bottom of the first page click Rebooter and click reboot recovery. That should hopefully take you to cwm where you can flash recovery.

i tried using rom manager to kick me into recovery (chosing trwp recovery before hand with freegee) before and it did the same thing,
rebooted, showed lg logo for a split second, then black screen. i just did the whole process again of using LGNPST to get to ZV7, then i updated to ZV8 then free gee to give me twrp then rom toolbox to kick me into recovery and its the same thing! black screen!
i also tried BEFORE doing freegee to go into recovery after the LGNPST to see what happens, and it just took me to normal recovery.
so my issue has to be with freegee..
should i LGNPST again to get me back up and running and THEN uninstall freegee, reinstall it, and choose clockworkmod as my reovery?
maybe is trwp just failing to load? what are you guys using?
{guide} soft-brick fix
Happened to myself as well. Follow these steps from AdriVelazquez.
Fixed it in a jiffy!
Accessing Recovery Screen (First Step if you have bricked your phone)
This is our initial step for any problems that might arise. If you can access recovery, usually you're in a perfectly fine situation.
1. Power off your phone by holding Volume down & power at the same time.
2. When the screen shuts off, switch to entering fastboot by holding Volume Up & Power. Release immediately once you see a black screen with some text on the bottom.
3. You should see a black screen with some text at the bottom.
4. Press volume down 2x and then the power button.
5. You should see either TWRP or CWM recovery.
6. Wipe Cache, Dalvic Cache, and Factory Wipe
7. Flash new stock zip. Wipe caches again.
8. Restart.
My issue is after I use freegee to unlock the bootloader and to put on twrp recovery
At that moment when I restart my phone won't boot into the android os or fast boot
When I try to enter fast boot by holding power and volume up I never see any text at the bottom of screen it just shows the lg logo then a compete black screen
at this point I'm unable to even enter the OS. So the only thing I can access thankfully is Download mode.
I had the same problem. The way I fixed it was to lgnpst back. Root the phone and then run freegee. Then when I entered the bootloader it did the same lg symbol black screen thing. I held the volume up and down along with power while it was at the black back lit screen for about 20 seconds till it was completely off. Then I plugged it into my computer or you can use a charger to. Wait a few seconds and a battery animation should show up. Leave it on charge for a few minutes and then take it off and turn it on and you should be good to go. I can't guarantee it is going to work but it worked for me and I found it just by trying different things. I also read about someone else mentioning what I did in another soft brick post. I also read that shelnut2 has a special freegee version that you can only get from him. You can try him in irc. I read he dose not want it posted because it could permanently brick the phone.
-Frank
yeah... this is exact same problem that I had before..
You nees to go optimus g IRC channel and talk to shelnutt2 that you are having problem with unlocking bootloader. He will help you nicely cause he is super nice!
irc: http://webchat.freenode.net
channel: #lg-optimus-g
He told me it is very rare issue but I can tell there are several people having this issue now..

issue resolved!
Shellnutt2 helped me out, i had to flash a special freegee to get everything working!
shutdown it down - turn off the phone wait few secs before going to next step
hold volume up button while holding power button also
when lg logo appear release/unpress power button just for a sec or two and then press and hold it back
Done
if its not working, it must be, u dont have recovery installed
use freegee to install one
hi
I dont understand
I try alot off time but dont secsuss
Assuming that the phone's power is off:
Hold down volume up button, then push the power button and hold it down. Count to 4 and stop holding the power button, but keep holding the volume up button. You should see the lg logo and then your recovery 5 ~ 7 seconds afterwards. Btw, which recovery are you using?
Custom recovery?
Is there a way to install a custom recovery on this phone? I read conflicting reports. I'm on 4.4.2 rooted and would to make a back up of my system, add zips, etc.

Have you try freegee in the play store? It installs the older version of cwm or twrp, but it's a start. Once you install the custom recovery, you can try flashing the newer version such as Philz cwm or newer version of twrp.
thanks
i do all this but no chances to enter into recovery
can help me with a video for that method
check if u have recovery mode installed
get FreeGee
and boot to it

I tried that before and got error messages. Some people say it worked and some say they had to wipe everything and it still did not work. Maybe the newer version works as I tried this 2 months ago.
Are you rooted?

first just make sure that your device is rooted, download Optimus G Pro Custom recovery (try to search on google, i found many links last time i download it), install that .apk on your device and then run it, choose flash recovery, and then choose reboot recovery. you will have recovery now. hope this helps. :angel:
Heyy! I wanna install twrp and then install cm12 nightly but I've read on other threads that flashing twrp directly will brick my phone and I'll have to install cwm first then cwm touch then twrp from there but on another thread it tells me to directly install twrp from freegee on stock JB.
Can anyone explain this to me? It's really confusing and I wanna know if flashing twrp will brick my phone. Im on stock kk but ill go back to JB and try it. Someone tell me if thats a good idea?

While you're on stock ROMs, just use Philz Touch. But if you ever go to like CyanogenMod or any other non-stock ROM. Flash that ROM with Philz Touch, then flash official TWRP. After, you can stay on TWRP once running a custom ROM.
Soo.. I decided to install Cynogen Mod 5.1.1 onto the Note 2. And, All worked fine....
But here is an issue. A while back I had to unlock the phone, which required me to install TWRP.. Now the issue is i think i installed it into the Boot instead of recovery.. So now whenever i select ANY power option in TWRP, the phone restarts into TWRP again.. Now, All i had to do was just do a battery pull and all was good.. Except for now..
I tried to update CM through TWRP, but it did something and now the phone boots into TWRP no matter what. I got the Android universal toolkit or whatever running and trying to fix the boot.img, But have been unsuccessful so far..
So, Any help that i can get would be appreciated.
Things I have done:
1. Reflashed boot.img with original.
2. Reflashed recovery with newer twrp
3. Factory reset, formated/
4. Installed backup with 4.4.2 installed still
5. Googled everything

AFTER 5 HOURS OF WORK I FIXED IT!
I reinstalled the Original recovery. Then rebooted, and it all worked.. 1:02 AM and tired as heck....
Can you tell me how you installed the original recovery? I did the same thing and now all my phone boots into is TWRP.
Alright.. It's a bit of a Google.. But you gotta find the original recovery for the phone on the web.. The recovery for the gt-n100 or whatever works. So look for that.

Dear mates:
I have the following problem. I have followed all the tutorials found in the forum, but I cannot enter recovery mode. If I use adb, it reboots normally, as well as entering from fastboot. I have unlocked bootloader and rooted. No way with flashify nor twrp installer, it always reboot normally.
I do not mean that it hasn't been installed permanently, but it does not boot even for the first time. It is weird, isnt it?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Had the same problem with my H811 the only thing that worked for me was to install recovery for h815 via flashify. This will at least get u to recovery. Then flash the correct recovery for your device.
Sounds crazy last thing I would normally do but I tried everything and this was a long shot ,but it worked like a charm! Hope this helps

The link below will give you detailed instructions on properly installing TWRP. If you're worried that you've messed something up. I'd use Xiaomi MiFlash to flash back to stock ROM. Then I'd follow the instructions in the link below to ensure I did everything properly. The link below also covers rooting and installing custom ROMS.

I did all the steps and the recovery mode is not showing up every time I boot to the recovery mode the phone either turns off or keeps looping.
After you flash TWRP, does it show the TWRP boot logo and then cut off? If so, as soon as the TWRP boot screen comes up, tap somewhere on the top of the screen. I had an issue for a while when booting into TWRP it would act like it was going to boot into TWRP and then it would just cut completely off. The workaround for this for me was to tap somewhere on the screen as soon as I seen the TWRP screen. Hope this helps you.
