Soft brick (Already searched up and down)

So I messed up my Nexus somehow. I was trying to install MIUI coming from Carbon ROM but something went wrong as it got stuck on the miui logo. So I rebooted to TWRP and restored my backup. So then I tried to install PA and then it just got stuck on the google logo. So i restored my backup again and tried again to no avail. Then after that I couldn't restore my backup ( I keep getting FAILED as soon as the data restore starts). I can boot to Recovery but I dunno what to do. I tried sideloading but that's not working. I tried the toolkit but everytime it tries to download the factory image it says 404. The phone charges and whatnot but I don't know what to do. I only have the PA rom on my phone and reinstalling it doesn't do anything. The only weird thing is that when I try to install the PA gapps I get a FAILED message. Any help would be appreciated

Have you tried to install another rom on your nexus?
you can put it on with adb push command from recovery though a pc, and then wipe everything and try to install it.
Or you can download stock 4.2.2 rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2147281
Here you can find your factory image directly from google: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamjdq39

How do I adb push?

you must enter into recovery, connect your phone to your pc with usb cable and then you should be able to see your device,
try
Code:
adb devices
on CMD and it can see your phone type
Code:
adb push **your-rom-from-computer** /sdcard/
then just install it from the recovery

When you say recovery do you mean the main menu? I'm using TWRP and when I'm on the main menu my PC doesnt read the device

Ok, wait. I need some clarification. I'm going to try to be as simple as possible, to make sure we are on the same page. When you say your PC doesn't read the device, do you mean through adb or on Windows Explorer?
If you mean through Windows Explorer, then that is not where you need to be. You must get adb working as a bridge to your device. Use this sticky guide to get it set up. I would recommend reading that guide top to bottom anyway, it's extremely informative and new-user friendly. Anyway, the info you need is in the 'Setting up ADB for our device:' section.
If you have adb installed, you need to check to see if it recognizes your device. Do this by opening up cmd and navigating to the folder that adb.exe is located. After that, use 'adb devices' to see if adb recognizes your device. If so, move to the next paragraph. If not, your drivers aren't set up properly for recovery mode. Go into Device Manager on your computer and find your device (under something like 'Other devices', or 'Android device'). If you find it, then get these drivers and install them for the device. Do this by right-clicking, and selecting 'Update Driver Software...', 'Browse my computer for driver software', and browse to that folder. I may have missed a few steps on installing the drivers, it's been a while. If so, just search on how to do it, or post back here. I'm sure I can walk through it and get a more precise guide.
Assuming you have adb installed and it recognizes your device, you need to open up cmd and navigate to the folder that adb.exe is located. Then, use the adb push command as outlined above.

Download stock images from Google's website and flash it via fastboot. If you don't know how to do it then use a toolkit like WuguFresh to do it for you.

You can also use the toolkit for pushing a ROM in your SDcard, or backup your SD in your pc.

The PC reads the device as it detects it but when I type in adb devices it doesnt show up. It only ever shows up when I enter the sideload menu in TWRP

Do you have a custom recovery installed? If so, load a .zip rom and push it via custom recovery...
.... If not, use ADB to push a reflash of a clean install of 4.3

you can either use fastboot to flash over

Lg g2 Boot loops

I am not sure if I can post this solution in this thread as I am not a developer and merely sharing my experience, It seems several people are having issues with bootloops after installing att update or for some other reason, my post deals with helping only a certain issue. You should be able to boot into recovery by any means in order to use my solution.
The problem I had was I was trying to flash a new Rom and copied Rom and gapps into my phone( of course I was rooted and had recovery flashed) and then out of curiosity I wiped everything in advanced wipe in twrp so now I have no Rom to boot into or no file to flash and either download mode would not work, I was p******g in my shorts as I my phone was only a week old and its dead that's what I at least thought. And after spending the whole night no solution was found in xda website and neither did Google help any, now the solution. now u should compare this to ur problem and find where u stand. I installed pdanet on my pc as stock lg drivers don't seem to help pc recognize my phone in recovery mode, then I plugged my phone to pc while phone is still in recovery mode and then opened pdanet in pc and installed lg drivers through it and then adb was able to see my device(until now I was trying adb sideload and it wasn't working) so when adb was able to see my device, I used sideload in twrp and pushed Rom from pc to phone using sideload commands and my phone was back and I am the happiest man in the world. So in short
1. This method works only for people who can boot into twrp recovery but not into phone.
2. Have ur desired roms and gapps ready 3. Make sure u have a working adb in ur pc and if not install minimal adb and fastboot application only onto ur desktop for easy access, and copy ur desired Rom and gapps into that folder and rename them to 1.zip and 2.zip for easy reference and easy adb commands.
4. Download and install pdanet on your pc. Power on ur device into recovery and plug it into your pc. Start adb from the folder u installed on your desktop(hold shift and right click within the folder(minimal adb and fastboot) and click on start command here option, command opens up and it will show in which folder ur in and then type adb devices and if everything is right your phone in sideload mode should show up as adb sideload and if not (this is where the problem is) run pdanet and install lg drivers through it and then unplug exit sideload and restart sideload in ur phone and plug it back to pc and ur pdanet will notify u have connected ur lg phone. Then run adb again and type adb devices and it will show up as adb sideload and now (you should search how to use sideload as I don't remember those commands) and push Rom into (the ones u renamed for easy access and reboot and all should be all. Sorry for the lengthy post but I typed this solution into several posts individually and so decided to put it up as sticky and if anyone feels to remove part of or all the post I have no problem, just wanted to do my help to others with similar problem.

I have more or less the same issue. Was with StockMod for D802 and received an official OTA and accepted and installed it. Now I'm stuck in bootloop. Unlike you, I can go into recovery (CWM not TWRP) BUT I can't seem to go into fastboot mode. When I hold the Volume Up and connect the phone through cable to my laptop, the phone boots but goes automatically into recovery mode. Did system wipe as well (which I shouldn't have) and at that point my phone has no OS to boot into so I used ADB to transfer CM 10.2 and GAPPS to my phone hoping that if I do it like I'm flashing a custom rom will help but unfortunately it didn't. I'm still stuck in bootloop and can't go into fastboot. help please...:crying:

Try a stock Rom and see if it helps.

when turning it on hold volume down and power button at the same time. Then when the LG logo comes up let go and hold them down again and press the power key twice to get into the recovery or maybe it will boot up normally.

Hey thanks for the reply, i tried your trick it doesn't work then i followed the fix with ubuntu, after that no more black screen I'm now stuck on the LG logo all the time .
Help !!

If you can enter download mode, try flashing appropriate kdz file to your phone.

You can also try to install pdanet and check with that. Select the device and proceed. Once the drivers are installed .. Try flashing the stock... Lemme know of this works

If you successfully transferred the correct recovery image using dd commands you should be able to boot into recovery. Have you tried booting into recovery after dd command? I did not even push the other files listed in guide, all I pushed was recovery image and it booted like a charm. Keep in mind I do own the VS980 variant, although it should be the same process just different image files.

So i did use the dd command on it, and transfered the openrecovery twrp for f320s but it just cannot boot on it with vol down and power

Well to enter the recovery you supposed to hold down Vol+ & Power until LG logo appears, release both, and then immediately press&hold those two buttons again.

PDANET is the key
Did u try using the pdanet? I was exactly in the same situation as u are. No matter if the lg drivers are installed.... The pc won't recognize the phone as ADB.EXE had stopped working. Here is what I did:
1) install pdanet.
2) it asked me to select the device and then it installed the drivers.
4) with this hopefully the ADB.EXE should start in your device manager. In my case it did.
5) go to google adb bundle folder.
6) go to SDK>platform tools> and paste your CM and gapps there.
7) try bridging the connection by going into the command prompt > and CD into the platform tools directory.
8) in the cmd put the command 'amd push "CM NAME" /sdcard/' and hit enter
9) this should push the file onto the phone... Do the same for gapps... And install it from the TWRP.
10) ALL THE BEST

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.

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

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.

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.
