ok, I hate to ask this since Im probably missing something simple.
I am trying to install recovery which I was holding out on, but it doesnt look like we are getting a new recovery any time soon so I am just going to do it.
Problem. When I try to flash recovery with fastboot it says.
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'

Anyone know what I might be running into here? I have the recovery in the folder Im cd to. which is C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
did you extract the recovery image to that folder? is the file name you typed exactly the same as what it's actually named?

i haven't even flashed a recovery yet lol. I just remembered that those were the two common mistakes people made when doing it on the Hero.
I've got an issue where I get "error: device not found" when in fastboot trying to flash a recovery...so that's annoying....
can't install recovery.

Do you have HTC Sync installed for the usb drivers? That fixed that problem for me. Other things you can try is to plug the phone into a different usb port. Sometimes if the phone is plugged in and you reboot it the computer will ignore it. Normally I have not had a problem if I can use adb I can use fastboot.

my g1 freezes when i try to reboot to recovery, but it doesnt freeze when i reboot normally. i dont know why....i think it has to do with a program i downladed, "droid explorer". so i tried to flash a new recovery through the terminal, thinking "i cant get to recovery because its broken" but that didnt work. when i put through the command, it returns a dozen lines of "error at xxxxxxxxxx (out of memory)"
can anybody help? or am i stuck with the rom i have?
Flash it via fastboot, that should work

See Anti what did I tell you, your guide would be very helpful. I think the recovery/boot hacks put out by firerat sometimes could cause corruption. but the nice thing is when it works you get a nice amount of memory. So your damned if you do and your damned if you dont.

it was quite helpful, but you dont change your cd, otherwise it doesnt recognize adb....you just need to remember the directory of the recovery and type it in before it
G2 is brick and will only boot the LG logo and nothing else. I can access download mode but thats all. Drivers dont install when I try to use LGFlash Tool method to fix device. Any other options or solution???? I pretty much scrubbed this whole forum trying everything.

The main problem is that you didn't install a recovery. Because the only issue i know is to push file to sd card via ADB. But you will need the recovery then to find the file pushed to install it then as a new rom.
Also, i have submit a new post requesting how to push file to sd card form recovery mode.
GOOD LUCK

Try to push a recovery.img by dd commands on linux.
It should fix your problem i hope.

I have tried this, but the phone never comes up when I enter "ls /dev/sd*" Its only detected as a "LG charge only interface"
So I tried to complete Linux tutorial and everything seemed like it was working, but the end result was that it did not boot into the recovery. Anything else I can try?
Fix your driver issue. Try Koush's.

How would i do that? Is that like a custom made driver?
When I enter download mode drivers do not install properly. this is what device manager looks like when phone is connected
So, right click, properties, update / install drivers for each. If you have to, download and extract the LG drivers. For each component, target the driver package you extracted.

So I was finally able to installer drivers for g2 to be detected in download mode. Now the problem is that flashing device still fails with saying model number or dll is wrong. But I'm using the files I believe.

I was wondering how you were able to restore your Verizon G2. I have tried it all with no resolution. Any help would be appreciated.
I am rooted and have TWRP installed but my backup has magically disappeared so i cannot boot from my recovery.:crying:

Hey guys,
The inevitable has happened: I've finally bricked a device that I can't seem to find the solution to online. Here's what happened:
1. When I got the phone a little over a week ago, I accidentally "broke" the recovery by trying to install CWM through Rom Manager. Turns out that's not something you generally want to do. Oops.
2. I got lazy and put off restoring the stock recovery, instead choosing to deal with the stock launcher.
3. Today, while dealing with the 50th pop-up for the OTA update, I accidentally pressed "Install Now" instead of "Install Later"
Now, when it boots, it briefly shows the LG logo before displaying an all-black screen with small white text reading:
[730] Fastboot mode started
[780] udc_start()
I get a little bit more text when I plug it into my PC. I've been trying to fix it for the past three hours - I've tried countless solutions, but nothing seems to work.
Can anyone out there give me some advice? I'd greatly appreciate it.

Will this work even though I don't have a recovery? The instructions I found (these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960 ) definitely sound as though they were created with a working phone, and some of the instructions linked still imply they have TWRP.
Thanks for any help, I really appreciate it. I feel like I can get this working, it's just going to take some time (something I don't have a lot of, as I'll be camping all weekend).

Lol.. Make sure you get that dll that was mentioned earlier because that's your crack to make the tool work.. If you get a fail but your phone boots up and go through settings don't worry about it it's good.. I know a lot of people were having the fail reset error

So... I followed the guide I posted earlier. It talks about entering download mode, which I'm not able to do, and my phone isn't seen in Device Manager as "LGE AndroidNet for VZW..." (Oddly, it's seen as a "SAMSUNG Android Phone," and under that is "USB Modem Phone ADB port").
When I unplugged and replugged the phone back in, trying to enter download mode even though I haven't been successful with that, nothing happened. LG Flash says it's ready, but nothing activated.
Help??
When it says it's ready unplug it while in download mode and plug it back in.. Make sure you have the ports set right

But I can't enter download mode. If I power off the phone it just brings me straight back to Fastboot.

After 6+ hours of work, I finally have my phone up and running again. Thank you so, so much antawnm. You're awesome for helping me through this. Though that link provided wasn't perfect (it was for the Korean model) it provided me with enough clues to combine it with everything else you sent me and some files I found in a directory (especially the recovery.img file for the VZW LG G2) to get back right to where I was.
The funniest part was, after the phone rebooted itself and I got back to my home screen, the phone informed me that my software update was unsuccessful. I genuinely laughed.
Thanks again.
hey Guys,
I by mistake deleted the rom on my phone, I know cannot load the rom or install a new rom. I have tried side loading via ADB, It does not show the device. I have checked in device manager and I can see LG-D802 as an "other" I have installed the drivers though.
Im really stuck and dont know what to do?
Any ideas?

If sideloading a ROM is really impossible, then you either grab an OTG cable and put your ROM on a pendrive/memory-card; OR start your phone in download mode and flash a .kdz.

Thanks for the reply. I really have no idea why I cant side load as I was able to load the Recovery via sideload.
I am battling to find an OTG cable, But I see you can DIY one, I will try this next.
I would really prefer to sideload. I can see the phone in device manager, however its disabled to driver missing.
