OK, so I have read the threads on here that touch on the subject and I have read a few threads over on XDA that in a more complicated way attempt to tell me how to fix my phone. Now all I have done is root my phone. That's it! Phone has been awesome with stock rooted. I changed to a different launcher just to try different stuff. In the past when I first rooted I did TRY to flash a custom recovery but it wouldn't take so I stopped. I did try to go into the custom recovery just to see if it was there but it wasn't. Now to the heart of the issue. This new Verizon update that just came out. I read about it on here saw people with success that were stock rooted and proceeded to check for it, download it, and install it. Well at the install point is where things go bad. Phone shuts off, turns back on and I get the LG screen. Great I think it's all going good. Nope. I get a black screen with Error: boot certification verify Secure booting error cause: boot certification. After that goes away I have a black back lit screen of nothingness. I can't get into download mode, I can't get to bootloader mode. I tried the download mode thing of having the phone off and then holding volume up while plugging it into my laptop, but all that gets me an a series of windows with every letter of the alphabet for a drive name stating that I need to format the drive. I'm trying to get Ubuntu to work but I'm having to put it on a flash drive. I'm hoping that will work because on my laptop it wouldn't install the last file, told me permissions denied. And I don't have a CD big enough to put it on. So can someone please slow down my brain and tell me what I need to do?? Or am I doing the right stuff now? Because my thing is, I didn't want this phone in the first place, it's not even 3 months old, and I'm not a stranger to flashing and rooting and modding phones. I've been doing it since the HTC Droid Eris which is still in my drawer and works!!
