First let me explain what I did to my device, then I'll explain what I did to get my device back. I was on the latest ZVE build, and decided to flash the new Lollipop update. I flashed it with TWRP, but was supposed to flash it with CMW. so I got stuck on the LG screen. Then I flashed Philz Advanced recovery. so I could flash Lollipop again, so I wiped, data, system, cache, and went to flash, but the rom was not in storage, so I decided to restore my backup, and realized my entire device including device storage had been wiped clean. So, now I could boot into recovery, and download mode, but had nothing to flash to fix the problem, and since I never booted into the OS, I didn't get to enable debug mode. It rendered my flashtool application useless. because it wouldn't install the necessary drivers that you need for download mode to work. I read a topic that explained how to fix a hard brick with Linux, so I tried that but was unable to mount device, but when I used ADB command it recognized the device in recovery. Philz recovery doesn't mount in recovery, but TWRP recovery does, so that was the goal. I used sideload to flashed TWRP through ADB and It worked. Once I got TWRP flashed with sideload the rest is history. Now I can go back to Windows and use my flashtool program to get back to stock ZVE, because now I will be able to install the necessary drivers for flashtool to work. Hope this works for someone else, that gets in the same situation. Happy flashing, and enjoy your New Year.

I don't understand what is it that I might be doing wrong, I root the tablet, have bootloader unlocked, and install Dualrecovery. From TWRP recovery I wipe Dalvik cache, Cache, System, and Data. Install PAC Rom Castor and GApps using TWRP, all seems to go well, no errors present themselves. Then I reflash "TabZ2-lockeddualrecovery2.8.21-RELEASE.flashable" to keep the recovery intact before I attempt to boot into system per their instructions after installing a custom ROM. I wiped Dalvik and Cache before I reboot and once it goes away from recovery nothing occurs just my tablet remaining in flash boot which is a good thing so I can start all over again since obviously something went wrong and just use flashtools to get back to an old stock firmware. I have a SGP512. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Edit: Even tried it w/o wiping system and same results just doesn't boot.

Your device will never Boot if you flash pac with nuts recovery. It causes to much Problems with cm based roms. So to rescue your tab you need Boot into fastboot and write "fastboot erase recovery" then flash this kernel http://doomlord.xperia-files.com/do...2U3RrS2VybmVsX1dJRkktdjAzXzE3LjEuMS5BLjAuNDAy
Do not reboot to system. Power of the device and then Boot into recovery (when you see the Sony logo and the LED light turns pink/amber/orange keep tapping/pressing VOLUME UP key). Then you will See cwm recovery. There first do a factory reset and Format system. Format system is in mounts and storage options) now flash PAC Rom and gapps and reboot to system now the device should Boot correctly. After the first boot do all settings then go to developer options and you will find expand reboot menu or something Luke this. Tick it and than hold the power button for some second tap reboot than bootloader (before connect the device with your PC) than use fastboot to flash the New recovery. Use one of these http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...wrp-cwm-philz-recovery-collection-z2-t3052676
For instructions to flash recovery look in the thread there are a step "Installation" if you need more help write me

Thanks! I used Flashtools to flash over the recovery via fastboot and accessed the recovery to do the rest. I had no idea CM based ROMS don't work well that recovery or any other I haven't tried yet. Any suggestion on what recovery to use? So far CWM got me this far not sure if I should try others. Philz Touch seems to be more appealing and the same as CWM.

Use this one https://mega.nz/#!rI4y2bJS!VksDLNy_a8cy8x-VBviYRkTP2SdSBm7Rs9G445vUXCU
This is twrp but it works with cmbased roms.
So I followed these instructions to root my LG G3 https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/3qcctd/how_do_i_root_a_vs985_running_511_35b/cwe6756. Everything worked fine at first,I downgraded and rooted kitkat,then installed TWRP. After flashing the ROM,nothing displayed on the phone. The phone is booting,I can feel vibrations and hear the volume up notifications,but I'm having trouble getting into recovery. I'm pretty sure this has something to do with the fact that I accidentally flashed the cache after flashing the 9.1 rom,and that I forgot to do a factory reset after the first one. What should I do now?
Can you put it in Download mode? Even if the screen doesn't display anything, you can tell that you successfully got it in Download mode by looking in Windows' Device Manager. You should already have installed the Verizon LG drivers, and preferably rebooted the PC, give the PC up to 10 minutes to load the drivers the first time you connect the phone in Download mode via a USB 2.0 port and with the original cable.
If you get it in Download mode, use LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash the 10B KDZ to make it easiest to root and put TWRP back on.
The problem definitely didn't have anything to do with not doing a factory reset. As long as you had wiped Cache, Dalvik/ART and Data.
By "flashing cache" if you mean wiping Cache, no, that shouldn't be the problem either.
JasmineROM 9.1 is just an update to 9.0; had you flashed 9.0 before 9.1? If not, then that's the problem.
What exactly do you mean about a problem getting into recovery? Do you mean you can't see that either or what?
I managed to get it fixed Since the phone was still working I was able to take screenshots of everything I was doing while hooked up to my computer until I could use Flashify to reboot into fastboot,then repeated the steps to downgrading using these instructions https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comme...phone_stuck_in_factory_reset_status_2/cmlm3wo
It probably was getting into recovery and I just didn't notice since nothing was displaying,but its all working now,and I successfully flashed CM13 instead.
I have a LG-E410f with TWRP installed. I was going to install a new room, entered TWRP and wiped everything (cache, data, etc) and choose to reboot to recovery. But when I did that the phone got stuck on the LG logo! I still can acess Download mode (it means I can use LG Flash Tools to reinstall the factory room) but I will have to do every steps again (root, install TWRP, etc). There's any way to boot it to recovery?
Ok... So...
I installed fulmics through TWRP and all worked great
After that, I installed a v30 Rom also with TWRP and that worked great, too, but i decided i like fulmics more and wanted to go back
Retried TWRP and kinda worked, but some errors were popping up all the time, so i decide to reinstall it
Now here i am. When it boots, goes straight in TWRP. I tried a stock zip to flash with TWRP, no luck.
When in TWRP I can see the phone on pc, internal storage in empty.
Fastboot works.
When i load up LGUP, under the version tab, it shows fulmics mod and i can't take any action
How fried is it?

Try doing a complete wipe, wipe cache, Dalvik, data, system. Then wipe internal storage via the format data option and reboot recovery. I am guessing that you're on the h850 variant so Flash the 20s complete firmware zip then flash SuperSU or magisk. See if it boots into system.
I do still suggest hooking it up to your PC and flashing stock firmware kdz 20s using uppercut. If if it is recognizing fastboot commands then you should have no issue flashing a new recovery image after you load the stock kdz, you may even be able to flash a new recovery image instead of going through all the other steps that I listed. Which may some your issue. But it's best to format data entirely before flashing anymore ROMs, and use lgup via uppercut to flash stock firmware and let it boot entirely before reflashing fulmics.
But formatting data is key to reset the system folders which were leftover from other ROMs and likely the cause of the issues you experienced.
hey guys just looking for some help. ive been modding and flashing phones from 2014, but its always gone really smoothly, so my diagnostic ability is lacking.
it started with flashing twrp. my bootloader is unlocked, usb debugging on, device is showing in adb and fastboot, and i can flash twrp without any issues. hoowever when i go to boot twrp, only the stock recovery boots. i tried to flash twrp using the XiaoMiTool v2, but the same thing happened. i eventually got around this by just booting twrp instead of trying to flash it. so i got in, took a full back-up and started installing a custom rom.
the first one i tried was ParanoidAndroid Quartz. i wiped cache, dalvik and storage then transferred it to my phone, tried to flash and got "zip verification failed". so i turn off zip verification and tried again. it flashed perfectly with zero errors. however, when i reboot the phone it would only boot to stock recovery and not twrp (expected) or the new rom. i tried that a few times, then tried LineageOS, and MSM Xtended 10. all of them had the same issue, the flashed without a hitch, then wouldnt boot.
i also tried flashing a new fw-vendor and it just straight up failed. Then i decided to cut my losses and restore my twrp backup, and that came back with the error, "extractTarFork() process ended with error: 255"
Software before i began these attempts was completely stock, so i dont know what is going wrong, but as of now, my phone is bricked, i cant install a new rom or restore my back-up.
any help is appreciated guys. thanks
You can figure out this problem with
1 Copy backup folder to computer
2- Format Data - Yes , Wipe Everything
3- Install ROM that you have installed before and boot
4- Go to TWRP, format data yes reboot recovery
5- Paste backup folder to internal storage and restore
