yea is there a way of flashing it thru terminal on mac? like the way i unlocked it and rooted

helpppppppp

flashboot-mac flash recovery recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img
is this wrong?

Hey man, it sounds like either you don't know how a filesystem works, or how a terminal works. Unless you skipped the step on downloading fastboot-mac. If you didn't skip that step, you need to actually change into the directory where you downloaded that file to be able to run it.

If you have fastboot installed. Make sure you have the recovery.img file in the same directory as fastboot to flash. Preferable in the 'tools' directory.

Or you can just do fastboot-mac flash recovery *drag image onto terminal window*

I believe when you flash through terminal on mac it should be ./fastboot flash recovery ./recovery-RA-nexus-v1.7.0.img

I completely forgot about that! I modified my bash_profile so all I have to do is type adb or fastboot and then the command.
Instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5691126&postcount=319

oh ok I hadn't tried that when I first rooted so I just stuck to typing out "./" but that's good I'll give that a try in the future

LOL forgot how to Flash recovery! :)

ok so its been a while since i played with my LG.
ok so i tried flashing recovery through fastboot but it doesn't work.
i tried flashing it through phone but it doesnt work. I am currently on 2.1 stock
and wanting to flash a custom rom. BUt i don't have recovery or raidzero.
ok this is what i did.
i Downloaded recovery and put my phone into fastboot and connnected it to PC.
then i used fastbootflasherv2 to flash recovery. usually a CMD popps up and starts doing stuff, but when i did it the CMD came up and disappeared in 0.0000234secs
and it said i have sucessfully flashed and now my phone will reboot.
After reboot still no recovery.
Then i tried flashing recovery through my phone.
Downloaded Root Toolbox Pro. Flash recovery and done.
After reboot i press home button and it goes to fastboot.
Can anyone help me here?
manually type the codes? or i can upload my own .bat flasher

I'm sure you tried the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" If its not working try flashing KDZ with fastboot again

[q] can't flash .img file? 4.2.2

Hello! So I am in the process of updating my Nexus 4 to 4.2.2, and trying out some 4.2.2 roms. I downloaded the radio and bootloader .imgs on my desktop, and when I open the command prompt into fastboot, and type in
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-mako-makoz10o.img
and
fastboot flash radio radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.48.img
it gives me an error saying
error: cant load 'bootloader.img': No error
What is going on? The bootloader and radio imgs are on my desktop, and yes I am in fastboot mode, and my command prompt can recognize my device in fastboot. I tried other commands like reboot and all that, and it works, but I just cant flash these files because it gives me an error. Am I doing this wrong?

Why not download the official 4.2.2 image and use the toolkit to flash? That's what I did and it worked without a hitch.

I don't think any exist yet and your best bet would to push the stock 1.29.401.16 from the development thread using adb push and flash the zip with cwm or trwp to get you back up and running.

Can you get into recovery?
When you plug your phone into your pc can you browse storage?
If yes to both of the above, download and flash the zip from the link below.

If you can get into fastboot then download cwm recovery as a .img file, then make sure it says fastboot usb on the white screen and type.
fastboot-windows flash recovery name_of_file.img then power off the phone and power it back on and see if you can then get into recovery if that works you can then use adb push to push a zip to the phone and flash using the newly written recovery.

[Q] twrp recovery not flashing

so i tried to flash twrp 2.5 instead of cwm, first through goo manager, and that didnt work. it said that the recovery was installed, but i booted into recovery and it was still cwm. then i tried it with fastboot, that didnt work either. any way to get around this? i even tried to erase revovery but that didnt work either. i checked if fastboot was working by doing the ./adb devices, and it said it was working, so idk what to do now.
thanks

did it actually flash this time?!?
no, you wont be able to restore it via twrp. you can flash the stock factory img and become completely stock through fastboot. its 3 or four words only, and the files of course. but if you would want to restore your cwm backup, probably installing cwm recovery would do the trick.

Lg G2 LS980 Will not boot

I had stock android installed. And I had rooted. I tried to use flashify to install TWRP, but every time it rebooted it would go into fastboot mode. well, I didn't think it would be an issue if I decided to just let the stock update run it's course instead of flashing a rom. So I had the OTA for kitkat run. The phone rebooted, and will only boot into fastboot, and download mode. I need help to get back to stock of any form, root or no root. Please? I am quite far from any repair center at a hotel for the next few days, so Wi-Fi is quite slow.

When I flash twrp, should I flash a nonstock rom, or stock? Can you direct me to stock downloads.
open command prompt in ADB and execute
fastboot flash twrpls980.img
*make sure you put the downloaded image in the adb folder or you will have to include the path to where the file is located.
I was on a stock ROM when I flashed it, here you can find some stock files. http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware

Can I get a link to download ADB for Windows 8? Is that all I need to type? What if I'm using a different recovery image?
What is the sprint stick rom from that download link?
sorry misread your previous post, those .zips are flashable through TWRP, here is a LS980 ZVA ROM, both odexed/deodexed, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2630748
you can flash a custom ROM if you would like, look at the thread in my signature it has tons of custom ROMs and kernels

ADB download?
Download this > http://download1983.mediafire.com/k2...loki-ls980.img
put it in your ADB folder and rename it to recovery.img ( just easier to find it )
plug the phone in
open Command Prompt in ADB folder ( hold shift + windows button in ADB folder )
fastboot flash recovery.img ( if you are using a different recovery image, sub it here, fastboot flash blank.img)
this should give you TWRP recovery, you can the use the .zips to update ROMs

put it in your ADB folder and rename it to recovery.img ( just easier to find it )
plug the phone in
open Command Prompt in ADB folder ( hold shift + windows button in ADB folder )
fastboot flash recovery.img ( if you are using a different recovery image, sub it here, fastboot flash blank.img)

All these things can be done through ADB yes. Didn't you have to download ADB to root in the first place? You shouldnt have to download again. However if you want to check start up a command prompt and type adb devices. That should pop up something if you have adb installed. I'm not sure if you need to be in a parent folder first though.

I used ioroot, so no ADB. I'm also not by my laptop at all. Would the rom install command be flash fastboot **********. Zip?

So, I have ADB installed. I am on windows 8 though, and the shift+windows button are not opening the prompt. Furthermore when I plug my phone in the computer says "windows cannot find 'C:\ Program Files (X86)\Mobogenie\Mobogenie.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again" I have no clue what Mobogenie is!
Advice? if there is any for me?
Edit: I can get the ADB window open, but when I type the command "fastboot flash twrp_2.6.3.3_loki-ls980"
I get the following:
unknown partition 'twrp_2.6.3.3_loki-ls980'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'twrp_2.6.3.3_loki-ls980'
I am not sure what to do... Is the Mobogenie the issue? I have all of the proper drivers installed. though I don't see my device in computer on the laptop. Help please? I don't think I can take the device into sprint or lg, because it was rooted.
