Okay I hope someone can help me! This is what happened, I had a rooted MDK version and wanted to upgrade to ME7 since there was a root for it so i upgraded then re-rooted now running ME7 rooted. But i tried to install a custom recovery (forgot that ME7 bootloader isnt unlocked -_-) so now i basicly DELETED my recovery. My phone turns on fine but for example if i hold POWER and UP it boots to download mode and on top is says "failed to boot" So basicly can somone please explain to me how to install the original recovery WITHOUT losing any of my phone data? THANKS!
You should have done some reading first, but you've now found out you can't flash a recovery when on mf3. Join the many others. It probably boots into download mode. When it does can you cancel that with vol down?
Edit, as far as getting the recovery back, you can't afaik

If you wanted me7 you should have just flashed the radios separately.

No nothing works when in that mode, I have to take the battery out and back in and turn it on normal and it boots up fine just the recovery mode doesn't work. This isn't a crazy concern just annoying so your saying there is NO fix? I just have to wait until the find a way to unlock the bootloader then install a custom recovery?

You need to get back into recovery and reload the ROM. Are you having an issue getting into Recovery Mode?

Need Help
I have been looking to download a Rom but cant seem to find a link other then "multiupload" which dont work, anyone have another link
I've been running Hyperdrive rom on CWM, and decided I wanted to try Illusion. So I rebooted into recovery, deleted cache and data, then installed the Illusion rom. At the end a yellow triangle popped up telling me that the software was insecure or something, and told me to go to a Verizon store.
I read that this was due to the kernel not being loki'd, so like an idiot I went back to Odin and flashed a kernel.
Soon after my screen went black, but I could hear the sounds of me raising/lowering the volume and turning the screen on and off.
I took the battery out and put it back in, and now all I see is an empty battery imposed on a black background with a frozen loading-circle int he middle.
Have I bricked my phone?
Edit:
When I unplug the phone from my computer and turn it on I see the Samsung boot-up along with the word Custom and unlocked icon above it. From there all I get is a black screen.
I can hold the lock+home+lower volume keys and I get the "Press volume up key if you want to download a custom OS" and "Volume down to cancel (restart phone)" screen, then the little green android shows up. Is there anything I can do from here?
You likely have "soft bricked" it, as long as you can still access it with odin or push files to it with adb you are not hard bricked... if you can, get the current verizon firmware from Sammobile.com and flash that with odin. This or fastboot are your best options. Take your time. Dont make things worse by trying things without reading completely. As long as you can flash and see it from adb or odin you can get it fixed up. Good luck

Yes, I'm watching this thread eagerly haha, I would like to fix my phone
So I held power+volume up+home and entered stock recovery. I chose the option "wipe data/factory reset" and afterwards rebooted the system, but to no avail. I'm going to try again right now, wiping the cache partition as well.
Edit: Ah! After I wiped the cache my system auto-rebooted and it successfully booted up. Factory settings!

i tried installing omega 4.3 using twrp it failed, then i couldn't restore my back up. i can get into download mode and try to flash stock rom with odin but it fail's every time and a msg with su rev check fail fused 2 binary 1 appears on the hand set. it also won't even try and boot it just says fw encountered an issue any help would be much appreciated thanks kyle
So i finally unlocked my bootloader on my p769. After i unlocked it i went to recovery and restored my backup to a 20F T-mobile P769 rom (yes i know this was stupid, I should have installed recovery via fastboot while I had it open). My touch screen is borked and I have no recovery set up.
Things I've tried:
To turn on USB debugging, the backup i restored does not have a homescreen so I cannot access the settings to turn it on.
The KDZ offline flash method, but it always stops at 15% even though i've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers countless times.
"Upgrade recovery" via the LG software tool. It gets to the part where it downloads the file and even after 2 hours it doesn't download. My hosts file did not have LGs IP when i tried this.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a button combination to force my phone to go to fastboot mode? Or can i got from s/w upgrade mode to fastboot mode? This is really frustrating.
Alright so i managed to turn USB debugging on, but i have no root or recovery. Is there anything I can do from here?
EDIT: managed to get root and installed busybox the correct busybox. i can't seem to get the recovery to install though (im using the l9 recovery installer APK. It says the recovery is installed but it won't reboot into recovery and the LEDs dont flash when i power on the phone). My phones touchscreen is still borked.
That LG software tool never worked for me and I never used it. Find a kdz uploaded and keep the phone on. No sw mode. I've been reading a lot of stuff on here about u boot and adb. . .never did any of that with other phones but I haven't bricked this one either to test any methods. I'm rambling. . .let need know what happens.

Even if your bootloader is unlocked you still have to install a ROM that is made for your phone. Just go to backup/restore then restore from sd and pick your backup. Good luck!

this guy had the same problem i am having now. except he was upgrading from 2.3 to ICS. I was on MJ7 and one of my genius stellar friends told me i could odin back to MI1. well i actually did it, so im obviously just as much of a genius as he is. Nonetheless his description of his problem is identical to mine. that said, the solution offered up for him was obviously applicable to the builds he was working with. With knox being present in the MJ7, i believe i may just be screwed. Im stuck on the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." screen even after I reboot. it just reboots on its own to that screen after i turn it off. any advise? Id like to get it to a reasonable sellable state if possible so i can put any money i get out of it towards the nexus 5. Ive also tried all the Kies suggested troubleshooting multiple times as he did.
"Now the phone shows an error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."
When i connect the phone via the cabe, to the computer, using Kies, it gives me error saying "Device not responding. To resolve the issue, reboot the device."
This is how I tried to resolve the issue, but with no success..
I have rebooted a number of times without success
I clicked on 'Troubleshoot connection error' and reinstalled the driver multiple times, but without any success"

You need to follow the guidance in the stock tar NAB thread, and hit the OP of the NABD discussion thread in the general forum for the latest info on migrating from MJ4 to stock NAB...
You will need to simply throw that tar file from the dev forum onto PC Odin, no pit file needed, and just flash it. You'll be stock NAB.
You may want to backup all storage, and factory reset your phone whilst in MJ4, prior to flashing, for good measure, but probably unnecessary. That probably part is why I suggest it.

Actually there is.. freeza uploaded the official ota update here in the forums. Just go to recovery and factory reset.. Then go immediately to download mode and flash that tar file via Odin.

There is a leak and then there is an official.. I chose the official but the choice is yours.
