[Q] No ROM on sd card

I accidentally wiped my sd card and system, data and cache in recovery and I can't install any ROMs because there are none. Since the N4 doesn't have an SD slot i can't even copy a rom zip to that and install it. How do I load ROM files with a Mac? I have a Mac so please take that into consideration. Thanks!

If you have access to fastboot follow the instructions in the [HOW-TO] How to flash a factory image / return to stock / unlock / root thread.
Essentially you'll be flashing a factory image. Again, as long as your bootloader is intact (fastboot mode) you'll be able to restore the device.

If youve got access to fastboot , flash a custom recovery that supports sideload. You'll use adb to push the zip to recovery and it'll flash it. I was in your position a few hours ago hahaha

Thanks for the help! What do you mean by bootloader is intact? How can it get broken?

I used the nexus toolkit to flash factory image. That made it nice and easy (after I fought with stupid Windows 8 driver problems for an hour :banghead: ).

A little info for those stuck at 49% using LG Flash Tool

I just want to share my experience after a bad flash and no way to recover.
I was still able to get to TWRP. I had flashed a Rom and it went bad. Long story short. No Loki causing boot into fastboot screen.
Tried using flash tools to restore stock with kdz. No good kept stopping at 49% because it was not the expected firmware.
The fix.
Wipe system in recovery then try again. With system wiped. The firmware matches and installs as expected.
Just wanted to share my experience. Maybe it will help someone else with the same problem.

What fixed it for my friend was "format data," as in internal storage as well.

Hi, sorry for my english , I'm french
I wanted to flash a custom rom on my LG G2 D802 .
I wanted the Paranoid Android (PA +) with 4.3 JellyBean .
So I made the
Backup
Wipe data / factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Wipe dalvik Cache
After I
Choose zip ( custom ROM ) from sd card
Then I
Reboot System Now
And turn on my laptop, I get an error message saying
[640 ] started Fastboot Mode
[ 690] udc start ()
I realized I had to flash AOSP kernel before changing to a ROM paranoid . But my kernel is blocked and so I have to go back to the stock ROM
When I did this tutorial using lg tools , flashing stops at 49% with an error message .
I also saw that I could access the recovery mod by following this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565904(but I saw that I could not otherwise reboot my phone after it was bricking ) and therefore flash my stock Rom which I had made the backup . But I do not know if the ROM has been saved and if it remained in my files after the Wipes.
If it is not there, is that in buying a micro USB ====> HUSB adapter, I could install a stock ROM from a USB key ? Or is there a way I can put files from my computer to my laptop which has no port micro sd?
And is what I could with my kernel "blocked " ?
Thank you very much

It sounds like you have access to recovery, so you can use adb to push or pull files from your phone. Your backup should still be on your phone, as long as you didn't wipe the internal storage.
I'd suggest pulling the important photos/videos/backup/files/etc from your phone to your computer, then wiping internal storage or wipe factory reset. Then hopefully it wont get stuck at 49%, as that is what I did for my friend's D801 to allow it to go back to stock 100%.

Exactly what i keep telling people with the same issue, Just do a full wipe in cwm/twrp before restoring to stock. the problem is allot of them can't get into recovery :silly:

Thanks for sharing! Will be useful someday

Search is your friend, any app that can edit the build prop should work, please make a backup of your build prop. if you get it wrong your device will not boot.

Ok I found a thread on here about how to use file explorer to change the build prop it says there r 2 entries I need to change but my question is do I change it from d802 to vs980 or vs980b?

[Q] Dumb mistake caused huge problem on G2 AT&T

So I wanted to install the Paranoid Anroid rom onto my LG G2 using (TWRP) Team Win Recovery Project, and I formatted the sd card as well as the device and now I am stuck. The G2 works perfectly, but when I boot it up it takes me to the Recovery because my LG software got deleted. Is there anything I can do to get it back?

Follow the instructions to restore to stock image
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
It's a bit of a pain, but it'll work.
I had a similar issue where I brain farted and forgot to run a backup and the .zip was corrupted. So I had to do the above to restore to stock and start over.

If I'm not mistaken, you could adb sideload the rom as well rather than going back to stock first.
Sent from my LG-D800

True.
I saw the option but had all sorts of issues pushing the image so I just went to stock, but it's definitely a valid option as well.

Adb sideload first, restoring to stock isnt necessary at all unless you really messed something up.

[Q] LG G2 D802 Won't turn on because of full wipe data

Hi, i wast trying to install a new custom rom (AOKP) on my LG G2 D802, so i rooted my phone and then installed TWRP and had a copy of custom rom zip file in my internal SD card.
But unfortunately and out of stupidity or lack of experience or something like that, i tought i have to wipe all the data on my phone. So i checked all the checkboxes in wipe data section (System, dalvik, etc) and then wiped everything and now my phone won't turn on and stucks on the LG logo.
i can go to TWRP but the Custom rom zip file is gone, and G2 does not have any external SD card slot. if it had one i could copy the zip file on the sd and flash it in TWRP. My pc does not recognize my phone and i can not copy anything on that.
I think it's worth mentioning that i backed up my phone before that (when it was on stock rom and working) and i have the back up on my pc, but how can i copy that in my phone's internal sd card?!
Can anyone plz help me? I really dont know what to do now!

Get an otg cable and use a flash drive or card reader with it.

I can not use adb sideload or adb push because my pc does not recognize my phone as an adb device. I have installed LG drivers (LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1.exe) but it seems there is something wrong with my drivers. I see a warning icon in the device manager for LGD-D802 and in adb push or adb sideload i get Device not found error, do u know how can i fix that?

There is a thread somewhere tracing thou do install adb drivers for twrp, I have no idea where it is though. Basically you have to go to device manager and manually select the driver, it should be under Google and some drover under that.. Just search for the thread hahaha

I also did this. Formatted internal SD when on TWRP.
The solution was to put the phone in download mode and recovery it (flash stock rom) through LG Support Tool.

I installed adb drivers itself instead of lg drivers and then i was able to push files in my phone using adb push.
i used sideload and flashed the ROM.
Thanks for the help.

Flash TWRP Recovery and then boot into it. After that, you can WIPE your internal storage to free space. Then you don't have to worry regarding memory.

1- Flash twrp on your phone using adb.
2 -Boot into recovery but don't remove the usb connection.
3 -Clear all data, cache, internal, etc. (Do this only if you have backed up important data.)
4 -Have a stock rom (or the rom you are trying to install) downloaded on the pc.
5 -After you have cleared the data, move the rom from the pc to your phone.
6 -After the rom has been moved, remove the connection and flash it.
7 -Do this after you confirm everything works. (twrp, the rom, etc.)
Also, I urge everyone who wants to flash their phone to have stock android rom backed up on your pc, always.
In case anything goes wrong you can always flash stock rom and start over again.

-1- Download stock ROM on your PC.
-2- Boot into twrp, preferably through adb command. ('adb reboot recovery')
-3- Do not remove the usb cord, and once the device is booted into recovery type 'adb kill-server'. You don't need adb now but don't unplug your device from PC.
-4- Once into recovery, clear everything. (Data, cache, internal, etc.)
Note - This will clear everything, even the OS. If you don't have external sd card wiping external will result in error. Don't worry.
-5- Having your android connected to the phone, copy & paste the stock ROM folder into your internal storage on PC.
-6- After it has been moved, you can unplug your phone and flash the stock ROM via recovery.
You can delete the stock ROM zip file in your phone to free up space using any file manager, if you have said ROM backed up on your PC.
You will lose all your data so have a backup of important data. Also your phone will be made as new, so you will have to flash recovery again, root again, etc.
You can find stock ROM on 'techolite.com'. Just search 'a6000 stock rom updated frequently' and you will find it.
Download the one pertaining to your model.
