Flash original ROM via Qfil, then install twrp and ROM
This is not a place to ask questions -_-
He's right, move your thread into questions and answers section.
Hi, I have the same issue on my phone. Unfortunately I cannot flash firmware thru Cfil anymore, the phone does not start in a mode where it is being recognised by Cfil. This may be caused by a mistake - first flash attempt thru Cfil was interrupted before it finished. Now the phone boots directly into twrp. No way to get it connected to Cfil.
What can I do?

Hello everyone. I was attempting to install the Liquid Smooth 3.0 Beta ROM but it said failed in red words. So i wiped again and installed my backup. Its been stuck in boot loop. I've looked and can't seem to find how to enter recovery mode. I tried holding power + volume up + home and it just restarts the phone before it gets to the boot loop screen. Also, once I get in recovery mode, what would be the next step to fix the boot loop? Right now im reinstalling the ROM I had on backup (intergalactic) . Or should I wipe and re-install the backup?
Thanks
EDIT: Found the combo ( Volume up + home ). Now restoring my backup. If this doesn't fix the bootloop what should I do? Also when I mount my USB in recovery it doesn't show up on my computer.

If you get to recovery mode, try doing a hard wipe/reset to return your phone to its original settings. You will lose all saved data so please keep your backup. Your phone may not be recognized by the computer in recovery mode but in download mode. Are you using custom recovery or stock recovery? If custom, which one?

Good! With TWRP, you will see the wipe option on the home screen immediately you get into recovery mode. Just do the standard wipe and then reboot to system.

Sometimes, it may take several minutes after the reset for your phone to finally boot up so you may have to wait a bit before deciding it didn't work. However, do you recall what (stock) Android version you had before you attempted to flash the custom ROM?

Before I rooted? I was Jelly Bean 4.1.2 I think. But I flashed many Custom ROMs, the last one was 4.3 . The one I was installing was 4.4.2. But I dont think thats the problem, It just said failed to flash. And the back up restore was successful, just a boot loop. If I could get my computer to recognize my phone I could put my original ROM download in and flash that.

Normally, if it was just a case of your phone getting stuck in a boot loop, a hard wipe/reset will fix that. If it's still not coming on, then it could be a slightly more severe case of firmware failure which, thankfully, can be easily recovered from since you can get into download and recovery modes. Your best option now would be to flash an official (stock) ROM to get your phone back in working order. From what you've said about the firmware history, stock Android 4.3 would be your best bet as you probably have the 4.3 boot-loader already. You can download the zip file you will find in the discussion thread below and flash this via TWRP recovery. The process is fairly simple. Download the zip file to your PC - do not extract. Verify the MD5. Copy to a micro SDHC card. Place the card in your phone. Boot to recovery mode. Select install and navigate your way to the zip file you just copied. Swipe across the screen to confirm installation. Wait for installation to complete. Clear your cache/dalvik. Reboot your system. Good luck!

Before flashing custom ROMs, it is always helpful to do a lot of research as there is no easier way to brick or backdoor your phone.
NB
You need a special app to verify MD5. It's just a check to ensure you have the correct file and it downloaded correctly. If you do not have the app, check that the zip you have is about 933MB after download.

You need the first one since you are on TWRP. You are not connecting your phone to the computer at all so there is no worry about that. You only need to download the image to your computer and then copy it to an external Micro SD card using another device like a camera, phone, SDHC card reader/writer or SDHC card adapter if your PC has the required slot. Once you have the recovery image saved on to the external SD card, insert the card into your phone and boot into recovery mode. You will then install the zip from the card. This ROM should not only fix the boot loop, it will restore your phone to as near factory settings as possible including resetting your flash counter, installing the complete stock system and stock recovery.
Once you have your phone back in working order, you can revert to flashing custom ROMs but please be very careful and do all the research you need. Specifically, you should avoid any ROMs that may attempt to mess with your boot-loader.

Thanks for your help! That was a great idea, moving my SD card to a different device then putting the .zip in there and flashing from my device. Worked Perfectly. Didn't even have to use the restore file you linked me, I just re-flashed the old ROM i was using ( brand new, not the back up ). And its starting up now, all of my apps, widgets, wallpapers, and messages are exactly how I left them. Which is weird because of how many times I wiped and the fact that I re-flashed a brand new ROM lol.
Man this makes me not want to change ROMs anymore. Small stuff like this makes me paranoid. I don't have a back up phone lol

Glad to know your phone is now functioning normally. One of your earlier restore operations probably restored your data whilst the new ROM you flashed restored the system without deleting data. Thankfully, you didn't lose anything. Now the phone is back to normal, please be careful with flashing ROMs especially custom ones.
Hello,
I'm sure there are many threads on about what I'm about to asked but I am a noob and I don't know what to do!!
I tried to flash cm11 to my I747 last night but it failed. So I tried to flash my recovery and it failed at first but second time around it was successful. Only thing is that when it booted, it got stuck on AT&T splash. I left it for about 15-20 minutes but nothing happened. Wasn't sure if my screen was going to burn the image so I turned it off and removed the battery. I have been doing research on how to recover but I want to make sure I do everything correct so I can at least go back to stock.
If there is anyone out there that can please give me some help I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks!!
Is this fixable?

Yeah. Should be fixable. First, can you try booting to recovery and doing a wipe/reset? I presume you have custom recovery? If this doesn't work, then you can try flashing a complete compatible stock restore image via recovery to get the phone working or flash a custom ROM? What Android version were you on prior to the attempt to flash CM? This would let us know what stock version to revert to.
I was running 4.3 before trying to flash the custom rom. I tried flash the stock rom last night using Odin, but it the flash failed on me twice. I also noticed that the micro sd I had in my cell is now completely dead. When I plug it into my pc it does not show up. I think it still shows up in recovery but it doesnt seem to be working. Im worried about sticking another card in and for some unknown reason it going dead too.
I only found a flash for 4.1.1 as far as stock rom goes.

If you were already on 4.3, please do not try to flash 4.1.1 now otherwise you could risk bricking your phone. If you tried doing the hard wipe/reset via (custom) recovery and this did not work, you can try flashing a complete stock restore image via recovery. See the instructions in the following thread ....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Unfortunately, you would need to load the stock restore zip to a (micro) SD card. Unless you are able to save files to your phone, there is no other way. Once you have the restore zip ready, boot your phone to recovery mode and flash. You can revert to a custom ROM once your phone is back to working normally.
I had this problem TeamWin Recovery. I put Philz recover on there and it worked fine. You will probably have to ADB philz recovery to your phone, if you chose to try Philz. This is what worked when I rooted my girlfriend's phone.
An easy way to install Philz Touch recovery would be to download and install the latest tar version for the d2lte and flash it via Odin.

Thanks to everyone for your help and solutions.
My co-worker, who flashed my root and recovery, was able to get it back to 4.3 stock. Unfortunately, the backup that he made before rooting did not work in recovery [twrp]. So I lost all my pics from the last two months since getting my phone.
As sad as I was that I couldn't recover the pics, I am happy to have my phone back to normal+root.
I'm not sure, but maybe it bricked from trying to flash cm11 thru twrp?! Can't really say, but the recovery did not go thru either.... It went thru "successfully" but after I would reboot then it would stay on ATT splash.
Oh well... all is good now. I will steer away from custom roms for now and wait until the 4.4 update comes out for my i747. Or if i get another phone later on, I can use the s3 as a lab rat.
Again, thanks to everyone!
I have the stock rom/kernel installed on my phone after being on CM11 for a while. The process worked fine and I have been on stock LG for about 2 weeks. This morning, I turned on my phone and it came up with a notification saying I can update the phone to a newer version. I clicked okay and it turned off into Clockwork Mod Recovery. It didn't update, and after waiting about 3 minuted I just went ahead and clicked on re-boot device. It showed the LG logo and then did the color rotation on the home button. Then it showed up Clockwork Mod Recovery again. So after rebooting and clearing user data, cache, and dalvik cache. The phone still boots into recovery. Please help! :crying:

flash twrp, reboot(say yes when prompted to fix root). If still in bootloop after that you will need to flash a rom.
same thing happened to me, was up all night trying to fix it. the solution was to use lgflashtool and flash back to a totally stock rom and start over. sure hope it doesn't happen again.

I've tried to revert rooted 4.1.2 with CWM via LG Mobile Support tool, but I got completely unexpected result - phone was updated to KitKat, so you can try that variant too.
Never install OTA updates when using custom recovery, unless you want trouble. OTA needs stock recovery.

Be sure to install the recovery I mention.
I really hate this bootloop issue and am really sad to see all these posts about people bricking their phones or getting bootloops etc.
I'm not saying that people are stupid or careless, it's just that we need a whole new set of recoveries, tools, etc for Kitkat and don;t have what's needed without causing problems.
I really wish I was a developer. I'd create all this stuff myself if I could.
I solved my issue just by flashing cwm on top of my old recovery, which is another cwm. Just glade that I didn't have to use the lg flashtools.

Hi all,
I've looked through several of the existing threads on the Note 8 and I've not gotten anywhere yet. I had the device happily rooted and working for months and then, stupid me, I used ROM manager to flash a new ROM this morning and on boot, it's stuck on the logo.
I CAN get to the recovery menu, but reset to factory default does nothing. I have wiped the cache from recovery and then tried to factory reset again; still stuck on logo at boot.
I can also get to download mode and have tried using KIES 2.6 (since KIES 3 is for Android 4.4.2 and up) and every time I try to do the update firmware/recovery, it starts, stops and says 'there is a problem with the download file' and then it quits.
I have tried using ODIN 3.7 and a few different recovery files but although it will say 'passed', on reboot, it's stuck on the logo.
Can someone help me, please? This is the only tablet I own and I really need it to not be a door stop
:crying:
not bricked yet, maybe. for now, try to download latest firmware from sammobile.com for n5110 and use odin to flash it.
about the factory reset of course it would still boot loop, you are trying to factory reset a bootlooped rom so it doesnt matter. you should flash a new zip through recovery.

Hi Mr.201,
Thank you for the suggestion. Question, when you say download the latest firmware, will it matter if I don't use the original? I ask because I've been trying to find the original firmware (stock) and while I've found many sites with GT-N5110 FW's, they are all coded for other countries; I can't seem to find one for US. So, if I use a newer firmware, will that work?
I can still get to recovery mode and download mode. I don't know if USB debugging is on, though, which I hope won't matter at this point. I can't remember if it was on when it died on me.
I appreciate your advice! Hopefully, I can get this thing going again. That would certainly make me a happy camper!
For some reason, the US version is labelled as "Cellular South" but in general, any 5110 rom will work, although there are some quirks with wifi frequencies between the North American and European roms.
My Note 8 got stuck in a boot loop. It was rooted/custom recovery/custom ROM. I tried some of things you did, and nothing worked. I ended up downloading and installing the ODIN one click recovery/un-rooted stock image from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773712
This restores everything to stock (including the recovery). After flashing, it was still stuck in the boot loop. I booted into the factory recovery, and did a data wipe. After doing that, my note is working now. So ... doing this might be worth a try.
May I make a suggestion when flashing firmware... If you are flashing to something notreviously installed on the device. First flash with philz recovery and perform a full wipe for flashing new ROM. This way everything is clean for your flash to work properly.
A factory reset is not going to work as well for the new flash to take.
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

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.
