After stock KitKat upgrade attempt stuck in TWRP!? :( topic

Hi,

I really would need some help, think I kind of did a stupid thing yesterday. :crying:

I bought a secondhand LG G2 d802 a few month back and been very happy with it. I live in Singapore and yesterday I remembered that I had read that LG would realse the KitKat update for LG G2 in Singapore in mid March.

I went in under phone settings and serched for LG updates and it was a an upgrade on around 500Mb. I got really exited and started to download it. After it downloaded it restarted the phone but then open up an app called TWRP, and no mater how I try to rebot the phone it always comes back into TWRP.


What i kind of have understood is that my phone was/is rooted and I guess that didn't go well with trying doing a stock upgrade. I have been using stock android 4.2 so not had any custom roms installed.


My question: is there any way to either role back to my prev version (4.2) or install 4.4 without loosing my data (pictures, don't really care about the apps)?

(I have tried to find where the phone downloaded the update to run it through the install feature in TWRP but can't find the zip file. I can't enable the OTG port in TWRP so not sure how I would be able do run another ROM either)

Hope someone can help me!


Thanks,
Sandra

[Q] S4 mini does not boot into recovery mode after attempt to root topic

Hi.

I have followed the instructions on this thread to root the GT-I9190 but I am stacked on Step 7.

Quote:

The procedure is as: Copy the "S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip" to your device SD card. Turn off the phone. Press and hold home, volume down and power. Download screen should appear. Connect USB cable, and press volume up. Start Odin, uncheck "F. Reset Time", and then click AP button. Select "recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.6-serrano3gxx.tar.md5" file that you previously extracted, and press Start button. The phone will reboot when finished. After the phone resets (it vibrates) IMMEDIATELY hold volume up and home buttons to boot into recovery mode. Select the option to install the ZIP file you have previously copied to your device and begin flashing it. After flashing using CWM, reboot into system and enjoy your rooted device.

The phone does not boot into recovery mode. I have tried several times to press hold volume up and home buttons immediately after the phone vibrates when re-starting, but the phone just starts normally.

The phone applications cannot access the SD card to save files. When I try to save a file (from Internet or Titanium Backup) it says "No SD card present".

I can access the card from the file explorer and I access to pictures, music, etc. But the applications cannot find the SD card when they have to save a file.

- Should I go to step-8 and run "S4Mini_RootKit_v2.zip" from the SD card?

I will appreciate some help.

Thank You


ps: I am sorry for asking again. :o I am not receiving answers at the section for developers, so I have decided to ask at this section of Help & Troubleshooting

[Q] Device bricked - Not booting after attempt at downgrading topic

After upgrading to 4.4 beanstalk tried to downgrade by installing FTF of 4.3 ROM. Ever since all I can do is get into FlashMode and FastBoot (using Flashtool), and am able to install FTFs and fastboot boot.img, but the device never turns on (and doesn't vibrate when I press the power button). Tried unlocking, re-locking, running Sony's Update (but it says the software is incompatible so it won't upgrade), different FTFs and BOOT.IMGs.

All I want is to get back to a locked, official ROM.

Help!
