Heres my situation. I have TWRP Custom Recovery installed on my rooted g2. Tonight my phone decided to automatically take the OTA update for sprint, and i was stock booting to twrp. I powered off the device and tried to boot it back up, but it went straight to twrp. SO i decided to restore a back up i had. Did that, after it was done, rebooted. and it still came back to twrp. IN a panic, i went to wipe, and did a factory reset. Which completely wiped everything, obviously, including my backups. So now im stuck with a phone booting into twrp and not being able to do anything. I just want stock firmware, no root and back to stock recovery. As you can tell, im pretty new to this.
Someone pleaseeee help me!!!
Try to download stock rom and put it in USB. In twrp flash the Rom via USB-otg. Or try this If you want to go back to stock Unrooted.

Ok ill try this, im downloading the files now. If this doesnt work, could i possibly try flashing another rom through twrp??
No, they will all fail. Never ever take otas when rooted. Once you have reverted to stock and rerooted then load custom rom or delete the update files so this never happens again

Nick, did you resolve this? I'm in the same boat, but by a different path.
I wanted to flash a zip, the cwm I had installed failed to flash it, so I decided to use flashify to flash Philz modded CWM, since then, I can only boot to recovery.
On hind-sight, there was an update threatening to install..
I can only boot into recovery, can't seem to get into download mode. Cant sideload, as ADB does not recognize.
Stock rooted D80010d on ATT D800
Fixed

If you need ADB, you may have to change your driver to LGE single sooner adb device (device manager)
There was a third command added later in the thread.
First post, longtime lurker.
FInally I was brave enough to play around my Nexus 4. Using ADB and Fastboot, I unlocked the bootloader and install custom recovery (tried both twrp and hen cwm). However when I reboot the system, it gets stuck on the flashing 4-circles screen. I had wiped the cache and others, including factory reset, but it is not rebooting.
On the first attempt , I installed twrp, it went well. During the reboot, TWRP asked if I want to unroot to which I agreed. Then that it went to flashing loop. I don't think the SU file was in the phone.
Phone is stock 4.4.2
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
Can you get into recovery and what rom ate you trying to flash?

I could get into the bootloader. After massive web-search, I managed to solve the problem using Wugfresh Toolkit. I'm restoring everything now.
Thanks for the concern.

You should have restored the phone using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47156064
Once you learn how to use it you could have restored your phone with out losing all your apps and data

So I am fairly new to rooting and didn't know that it's not a great idea to do an OTA update while you're rooted. So I did just that and when prompted to restart the phone, it did and loaded directly in to TWRP. I tried to just reboot from there and it kept going back to TWRP. So I tried to recovery from a backup, same thing, right back to TWRP. Also, I can't get into download mode. What do I do?

You need to first download the kdz and lg flash utility with drivers.
Install drivers
The factory reset deleting system, cache, internal sd.
Then shutdown your g2.
Start to downloaded mode connecting your g2
Flash kdz & voila... Done
I too bricked my phone before. My flashing stuck at 49%. Recovered using above method, all is well now
This works 1000%. I bet on it. Just remember to wipe the phone completely before flashing. You will return to stock with unrooted status in download mode. U will have your warranty back too

Yesterday I was normally on the cm11 nightlies, and decided to go back to 4.2.2 stock tmobile, just to update to kk . I loaded my stock backup, and all went fine. It downloaded an update, did not say what just system update and after that it restarted to twrp recovery. Tried rebooting to system, but all it does is boot back to twrp. What I saw is that it reverted back from 2.6.4 to 2.6.3 version. Flashed the 2.6.4 version from my folder, and the same happens. Tried restoring my backups, taking long but to no avail. Right now I have a bootloop to twrp and don't know what to do. My computer doesn't even recognize phone. Not even usb otg shows up.

There are threads in this very section that will explain what you have to do. Note, never take an ota with a custom recovery!

Problem solved. I downloaded 4.4.2 stock rom to my otg and mounted on my phone.then flashed from there.
I mistakenly took a 5mb update on my LG G2 that was rooted and has TWRP on it. Now the phone will only reboot into TWRP. I cannot even get the phone into download mode. Any ideas on what I can do to recover my phone?

I think that may have worked. Im out of twrp but did a full wipe in twrp before trying your method. Stuck on the LG screen now. Gonna hopefully get into DL mode and flash back to stock.
