Not sure where the .zip is to flash the entire system..in fact, I don't think that was officially released yet. If you managed to get Clockworkdmod installed, I know there is a system image you can flash in the Dev section here.

Or If I have a nandroid back up how can I get that on m y phone to run that? I have it on the SD part of my card but doest show in the back up and restore file

You can try flashing these:

3- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875184 (if you really know what you're doing)
I assume you understand how adb shell works and all that, since you're dabbling in all this goodness .
Good luck, young samurai!

How would I write a system image would it be fastboot flash system system.img?

guys thanks I got my phone fixed Thanks for all your help

Need a nandroid backup image **RESOLVED THANKS!**

Thanks to the Dude and everyone else who chimed in to help!
**********************************************
Stock will be just fine.
I backed up and reformatted my SD card but when I get back to my laptop the SD backup was deleted by my son (too big for recycle bin and permanently deleted). Stuck in boot loop (TTG 0.1.5) and cannot flash zip anything from sdcard ("can't open /sdcard/*name that rom*.zip"). Adb shell wont recognize device.
All my nandroid images were on that backup that is now gone. I can back up and restore now, but it's all my boot loop.
Thanks in advance for your help and restraint with flame outs.

I don't think you can load just anyones Nandroid image, has to come from your phone...from what I have read at least.
Should probably just run RUU and go from there with the Pre-Kitchen.

that's weird that you cant flash anything from the sdcard, check and make sure its fat32, make sure you wipe before you try to flash, if not ur gonna have to use RUU.
if you do ruu make sure htc sync is installed and you are in bootloader mode... turn phone off then hold vol down and power. then start the ruu.
p.s. you can restore ANY sprint hero nandroid backup with minimal problems/side effects.. i've done it a more than a few times with no problems

Tried it. No luck. But you can use anothers nandroid image. Theres got to be someone who has one or is willing to go back to stock, back up, and then resume as before. It only takes a minute.

If you need a stock Nandroid image I have one...keep it just in case I need to revert that far back.
If you want it, I'll zip it up and post it at http://www.darktremor.com. Let me know.

No problem.

[Problem] Phone boot loops.

ok so 2 things really.
i can only get 1 nandroid back to work. the nandroid is of stock root so this isnt a huge problem. but i want to flash roms lol. i was thinking maybe it was a2sd? flashing any rom causes a boot loop. its weird. i RUU'd once but now the program doesnt see my phone and it wont boot into Hboot. Comp see phone and Fresh Kitchen see the phone oh and cmd promp too so idk about that either.
i also dont know where the recovery image is stored on the phone it self.
so if any one can help with these things ty.
format c:, that should take care of your boot loop problem.
Don't do what the guy said... you'll screw your Windows install. First, just don't use a2sd until you can get everything sorted out.

what did you wipe that you cant boot? factory reset(factory wipe) only wipes data, youd still be able to boot. did you make a backup in recovery? if you did restore that. do you still have the older rom in your storage? flash that. or, install fastboot and the drivers to your computer and take that route. anyways, root toolkits are bad, m'kay?

[Q] Stuck in recovery bootloop

Okay so I have the sprint LG G2 and was being an idiot messing around with the hidden menu and I selected an option fota update test or something and my device rebooted. Now it only reboots into recovery mode. I have TWRP 2.6.3.2. It tells me that it cannot find my backup. The Log file says E:storage partition //twrp/backups not found. I dont know what to do. Ive tried flashing roms, but it just reboots back into recovery every time even when I tell it to reboot bootloader. Any Ideas?
It's fixed! I used the Lg flash tool with the sprint .tot file and she is alive! Thanks all of you I appreciate it.

Okay i'm asking for help thats all. I know what I did was stupid. I'm trying to sideload the stock rom but it keeps getting stuck at 84%. The problem I think, is the boot partition is all messed up.

This is what you need to do.Dont worry nothing is messed up,the phone will be back after this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
I did the second option since i find it easier to do.
you can simply use TWRP's awesome "terminal command" option to run the following:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

Hey thanks for responding. I tried doing that just now and it still keeps rebooting in recovery. I did the first option though. I cant find where to enter commands on TWRP. It just tells me to pick a folder.
Can anybody help? I'm pretty desperate here. I just dont know why twrp deleted my backup. I had one on there that I used all the time and now it says it cant find it. It just keeps rebooting into recovery mode.

If im not mistaken you dont need to choose any folder,only to push select and then type it up there...

I just tried that same result . Every time I reboot it goes back into recovery its stuck in a recovery bootloop.
If you typed it properly and it doesnt work,then i dont know...I have done what you did before to try it out,since i knew how to fix it.And it worked just fine.

are you on sprint? Thats what im on. I tried that method,but got stuck on this part: 4) Now unplug your phone, power off and then go back into download mode again, volUp+USB. It should immediately connect and start flashing.
When I would go to unplug it and reboot into download mode it just wouldn't do anything the app would just say ready.
I somehow got my nandroid back but when Its done flashing it just reboots back into recovery. I dont know whats going on.
Man this is so frustrating. Ive tried all these things and it still only boots recovery even after flashing my nandroid I made awhile back. Im stuck and dont know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Are you sure that you did the 2nd method properly?Try once more and double check what you type.Why this worked for me when i did the same but it doesnt work for you..Nothing much you can do atm either that,or download a kdz rom and try to upgrade with flashtool.
Thanks for trying to help me out. I got it fixed by using the lg flash tool. I feel like such an idiot. Ive been coming around these forums for awhile I just never registered. I consider myself pretty good with tech but im self taught so their is alot of trial and error and noob mistakes. +1

Ah thats not good,i suppose you dont have a Nandroid either? i suggest you do a nandroid backup right now, format data & cache and try rebooting. If it still doesnt work , your /System partition may be corrupt. best to go with the above mentioned post by klebengan which would return you back to stock.
Mind you, in both cases you would lose your data. so do a nandroid right now, atleast wou would have a chance to extract important data later once you are up and running again.
BTW, This is the wrong place for this thread, it should be in Q & A and i m pretty sure there would be similar or related posts

ok, thanks for the tip but I tried to even follow the Klebengan post but the main problem is that I am not even able to go to the download mode with the volume key up and Plugin in the usb cable.
I have the flash tool and the kdz file but as i said I am not able to go to the download mode so I am not able to use the LG flash tool also.
If somebody can help me with the steps of transfering the zip file in to the phone memory I can atleast try to install the custom rom once the phone goes on and starts than I may try to flash with the kdz file.
pls help
