I actually just did it and it did work. I used goo manager to try to write TWRP not thinking about MF3. Got a buddy who has a stock phone running MF3 (also an i337), temp pwnd it, pulled a dd of his recovery and dd'd it back to mine (rooted). I have a recovery again!
Here's the MF3 recovery image I used (attached and zipped to save space)
MD5 (recovery.img) = 8bb35b1bfbf01dfb83b30ffdbb243d87
On a stock device, enabled developer mode, adb, put in my sdcard with pwn on it, got root. Then did:
adb shell
$ /mnt/extSdCard/pwn
...
# dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=/sdcard/recovery.img
# exit
$ exit
adb pull /sdcard/recovery.img
*disconnected the donor phone*
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/
adb shell
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
# exit
$ exit
Rebooted phone with vol+/home/power and it booted into recovery mode, whereas before this would get it stuck in the ODIN download screen.
YMMV of course, but it DOES work!.

You can try to use ADB only problem is idk if works in download mode or not.

Well I need help. Last week when verizon was having probelms with service my friend thought that it was his phone. He got to messing with **** and now he cant load any roms. Im hoping someone can help. When he boots into recovery mood he no longer has the option to flash zip from sd. Also Nand backup is now missing so he can not backup to a restore point. the only options he has is flash update reboot wipe cache and factory reset. I have heard of people losing root but with that would you even be able to boot by pressing power and the volume up key... he wont leave me alone about fixing his problem so any info someone could shed on the situation I would really appreciate... Thanks

Just redo Amons recovery. That should fix it.
Follow these steps: (Also found in Sticky section)
III: Flashing a Custom Recovery
Flashing a custom recovery will make your life easier when flashing ROMs in the future.
1. Download this file: Recovery.zip
2. Extract file contents to your \tools\ directory of your Android SDK.
3. Open up a command prompt and go to your tools directory, and execute these commands:
* adb shell mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
* adb push recovery.img /sdcard
* adb push flash_image /system/bin
* adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
* adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img
4. Success! You now have a recovery partition installed on your phone. You can access it by running "adb shell reboot recovery" or by powering off your phone, holding "Volume Up + Power On"
Once you do this...power down... then volume up + end = recovery..
The behavior of the recovery boot that you are describing is an HTC recovery; it is not Amon_RA. Amon_RA didn't change, it got replaced.
That strongly suggests that "your friend" re-flashed an HTC ROM onto the phone, probably using a HBOOT method (using a "PB00IMG.ZIP" file).

droidkevlar assumes here that what got flashed was the HTC Root PB00IMG.ZIP file.
For the sake of "your friend who won't leave you alone", I hope droidkevlar is correct; otherwise your friend has joined the leak club.
Good luck,

or you could do it from the PC with a single command. Put the phone into FASTBOOT mode (power on phone holding down both Send+End/Power), and then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img
The md5sum of Amon_RA v1.6.2 for the Eris is e3932991f097993602af3c7a4b61a4f8
You can check to see if fastboot is communicating with the phone by using the command "fastboot devices". (Note that if running fastboot from Linux, fastboot needs to be run as root to access the USB device).

YES YOU NEED TO READ THIS WHOLE POST, PROB MORE THEN ONCE TO MAKE SURE YOU GOT IT. YES I KNOW HOW LONG IT IS, I TYPED IT!
the reason i call it a semi-brick is because a true brick can bot be recovered with out opening the case.
first go here and read this for info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838484
now since your here im going to assume that its too late.
*things you will need.
copy of cwm recovery. get it here (the manual install link): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9145724&postcount=28
adb installed and working.
a known good rom, or nandroid backup. here is one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=836042 (use odex one)
a wpthis.ko for YOUR specfic kernel (run (adb shell cat /proc/version) that will tell you what kernel you have)
*first thing we need to know is, are you s-off or s-on now?
if your s-off just boot into clockwork mod recovery, wipe the phone and flash a known good rom and be done with it. if you dont have cwm recovery installed. boot into fastboot (vol down+power) you must have the sdk/adb installed and working, and type fastboot flash recovery LocationOfRecovery.img (where LocationOfRecovery.img= where you have the recovery, ie c:\android\recovery.img). once thats installed follow instructions above.
*if you are s-on:
will the phone boot into android? if so your not bad off.
if you want to unroot to return the phone, follow the unroot thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835971
if you dont want to unroot then you have a couple of different options. if you have cwm recovery still installed, just follow instructions above and flash a known good rom. ive been told that boot.img (kernel) wont flash if you are s-on. the way to fix this (temporarily) is boot into recovery, but before you flash run these commands:
(put wpthis.ko in sdk folder)
adb remount
adb push wpthis.ko /data/local/wpthis.ko (specific for your kernel)
adb shell
# insmod /data/local/wpthis.ko (should get same function not implemented error as when u rooted first time)
then proceed to flash the rom. once booted into android skip down to, "now to get back to s-off"
*if you have stock or eng-recovery installed.
will the phone attempt to boot android at all? where is it stuck at?
a good min after it starts to try to boot, type these commands:
adb remount
adb shell
if you can get in shell then theres still hope. back out shell for a second and start here:
put the cwm recovery.img and wpthis.ko in your sdk folder
adb remount
adb push wpthis.ko /data/local/wpthis.ko (specific for your kernel)
adb push recovery.img /data/local/recovery.img
adb shell
# insmod /data/local/wpthis.ko (should get same function not implemented error as when u rooted first time)
# dd if=/data/local/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p21 (now wait a min or 2 to give it time to finish)
#sync (give it another min or to just to be safe)
#reboot recovery
at this point you should be in cwm recovery. follow instructions above for flashing with s-on.
*if you cannot get into shell while booting, but have eng-recovery installed, there might be some options.(however this is all theory)
boot into recovery-
if you are on linux using adb, you can try taking sh from /system/bin folder of any custom rom, chmod 0755 it, then push it to /system/bin and adb shell might work.
windows-
boot into recovery.
a system.img compatible with your installed kernel pushed may work. put the system.img into the sdk folder.
adb push system.img /data/block/mmcblk0p25
then reboot and see where you are. if that dont work, grab the modified miscnew.img here: http://www.4shared.com/file/pUPfrGi-/mmcblk0p17.html
rename it misc.img put it in sdk folder and
adb push misc.img /dev/block/mmcblk0p17
then reboot into bootloader with PC10IMG.zip on root of sdcard and it should run though. if it does your fully stock and get to start all over again.
*if you cannot get into shell, and you have stock recovery, im sorry your pretty screwed. as of right now the only thing thats gonna bring it back is a full img/update signed from htc thats equal to or higher then the version currently on the phone. (well and jtag of course)
*well now you've done one of the steps above. your booted into android, you have perm root, and cwm recovery installed, just still s-on. dont worry your almost there!
first take that wpthis.ko for you kernel and push it, and the eng hboot.
adb push wpthis.ko /data/local/
adb push hboot-eng.img /data/local
then from adb shell, or terminal root prompt:
# insmod /data/local/wpthis.ko (again you should get the function not implemented error)
NOW REMEMBER THIS NEXT STEP COULD MEAN DEATH FOR YOU G2 IF TYPED WRONG, AND AFTER ALL THIS HARD WORK!
# dd if=/data/local/hboot-eng.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
wait a few mins to be sure its done.
# sync
wait a few more just cause.
reboot, you should now be s-off, cwm recovery installed, and free to do whatever you want. just dont go screwing it up again
* as new methods are discovered, or ones here are proven wrong, i will update as necessary. as of the writing post, 2 devices that i know of have been saved!
good luck!

If your phone is rooted don't even think to update ota.
If it is not rooted then what is your variant? D80210a, 10b, 10c, 10e?
depending on your variant take a look here: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D802/Stock_Firmware

Follow this to a T I did this morning and it worked like a charm. Removes root. Make sure you factory reset after because with me having a recovery installed it was bootlooped on the Verizon screen.
Factory reset removes the recovery and makes it out of the box new.
Once you've done that, accept the ota and enjoy!
Keep in mind I am not sure if there is a safe way to root/install a recovery on the new ota

#push the recovery to the phone
adb push recovery.img /sdcard/stock-recovery.img
# Connect to the phone shell
adb shell
#getting root
su -
cd /sdcard/
# /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery is a link to /dev/block/mmcblk0p15 on my phone
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery of=recovery-twrp-mmcblk0p15.img
2) Wrote recovery
dd if=/sdcard/stock-recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
3) testing
from computer command line:
adb reboot recovery
To reboot, press power button 10s
4) Restoring twrp recovery
from computer command line:
# Connect to the phone shell
adb shell
#getting root
su -
cd /sdcard/
dd if=recovery-twrp-mmcblk0p15.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
I don't know if i'll can write OTA firmware in the future, but i think so ...

Hi Everyone
Can I flash this http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D802/Stock_Firmware/10b_16G_partitions/recovery.img stock recovery on my d80210e ?
And if it possible... does this method of flashing full wipe the device? (and internal memory) ?
I will preface this with stating that this is not my phone. A friend had rooted his LG G2 and installed CWM. After he accepted the OTA, the phone was essentially rendered useless. After this process, the phone will be reverted back to 100% STOCK. It took a while to compile all of this information, and I give all credit to respective owners, but this process I pieced together from multiple threads and was able to make this work.
Symptoms-
Not booting (Hanging at LG screen)
Able to access CWM recovery
Unable to Mount USB
Unable to access Download Mode
#####1#####
Uninstall all previous LG Drivers installed (Add/Remove Programs)
#####2#####
Install PDAnet to get the drivers required installed.
#####3#####
Once PDAnet is installed, ADB should recognize the device when it is in 'Recovery' mode.
(ADB Devices should give the result of: ###DEVICEID### Recovery)
#####4#####
Download aboot.img from: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/D802/Stock_Firmware/10b_EUR_16G_partitions
(The file will need to be renamed to aboot.img)
#####5#####
Download: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23252070760973106
#####6#####
Extract the files we need:
g2_security
loki_patch
loki_flash
recovery.img
#####7#####
Get into a command prompt and run the following:
adb push g2_security /sdcard/
adb root
adb push loki_patch /data/local/tmp
adb push loki_flash /data/local/tmp
adb push recovery.img /data/local/tmp
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/aboot of=/data/local/tmp/aboot.img"
adb shell "chmod 644 /data/local/tmp/aboot.img"
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/loki_patch"
adb shell "chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/loki_flash"
adb shell "/data/local/tmp/loki_patch recovery /data/local/tmp/aboot.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.img /data/local/tmp/recovery.lok"

adb shell "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota"
adb shell sync
adb reboot recovery
Once the above is done, the phone should boot into TWRP. I shut the phone off at this point and held "Volume Up" + "Power" and Download mode now worked!

Did you not see what I wrote? Recovery was the only thing I could access. This method didn't work because the RSA Token wasn't authenticated on my computer any longer. My phone was bricked. I now have a new one. Lesson learned. Make sure you have USB debugging on with an RSA token on your computer at all times.
Did you end up wiping the internal SD with the process? I am in a similar situation except I don't have a friend like you to help me out haha.

I can't get past the adb shell commands to work. it keeps saying 'dd: can't open '/data/local/tmp/aboot.img' : Not a directory

umm
you said TWRP 2.3.4 did you mean 2.6.3.4? i know TWRP 2.6.3.4 supports OTG cables. If you have an OTG cable you could put a rom on a flash drive and it and try to flash it.

This works on International D802. I had stock rooted rom with CWM (6.0.4.4), Xposed ( G2 Xposed, G2 tweakbox, Advanced Power Settings, App Settings), Tasker w/ Secure Settings and whatnot. So I applied OTA. Not good for the phone and the Ingress Ressistance. I was stuck at LG screen for 2 sec, reboot, rinse and repeat. Download mode was no go. Luckily I was able to enter recovery mode. Tried to restore..no luck. And after staying up till 4AM (thanx to the xda forum). I tried G2 back to stock with kdz thread. Couldn't enter download mode. I changed few USB cables, three comps and voila it entered DL mode. Unfortunately that was on Linux box...so no LG flash tool. Arghhhhh.
Next step...Linux needed, no knowledge, just sensible use of copy/paste. Enter recovery, wipe everything you can. Reboot to recovery and yes, root please. Now you should have adb. Do the following (thank you thecube)
Code:
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
If you get any errors...don't worry. I managed to execute only line 2.
Reboot to recovery w/ root and again wipe everything (it worked for me, might not be needed), and copy/paste again.
Code:
adb shell
mount /data (disregard errors)
mkdir -p /data/media/0
exit (do not forget to exit shell)
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0
adb push rom.zip /data/media/0 ( where rom.zip is up to you..i used Black Pearl ROM)
Now watch that coursor. If it is not blinking...you are almost there. When push is completed, install rom. zip as usuall.

This works on International D802. I had stock rooted rom with CWM (6.0.4.4), Xposed ( G2 Xposed, G2 tweakbox, Advanced Power Settings, App Settings), Tasker w/ Secure Settings and whatnot. So I applied OTA. Not good for the phone and the Ingress Ressistance. I was stuck at LG screen for 2 sec, reboot, rinse and repeat. Download mode was no go. Luckily I was able to enter recovery mode.
