[Q] Did I Brick my Verizon LG G2? Help?

Got my phone today and I rooted my phone and then installed TWRP. I held off installing the initial OTA update, but the phone installed it after a certain time. It rebooted and I am stuck in recovery mode in the TWRP interface. I don't have any custom ROMs installed to boot from. I did a factory reset but I'm afraid I may have deleted the stock ROM.
Is there any way to reboot back into the system? If not, how can I get the stock ROM back onto the phone through the computer?
I guess you can tell by now that I am new at this, but any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I rooted the phone first, then installed TWRP, and then I installed the OTA. So now when I turn on the phone or try to reboot, it boots into the TWRP touch screen.
I stupidly did a factory reset of the phone, so I don't know what I need to do next. I know I need to get the stock rom back onto the phone somehow, but I need to get the phone to be able to link my PC to get the rom onto the SD card.

Maybe grab a nandroid from someone on verizon and throw it back on your sd Card

I poked around TWRP more and it seems my system is still installed on the phone (~2400MB). Don't know if that changes anything.

Looked at the link in the link you provided. I was able to revert back using the twrp terminal. Thanks!

I owe you more than that thanks. This is incredibly useful info!
Backstory:
Flashed 800 radio on 802 (curiousity...)
Didn't have 802 radio on device to flash back
802 in bootloops
google usb drivers wouldn't install
 @lingarajug saved my sanity and taught me something
I love how much I can learn on xda-dev...

Hahahahahhahahaha they say curiosity killed the cat, I was in the worst situation like you were but I tried copying new Rom and gapps to sdcard and flash and went into recovery and curiously cleaned everything in advanced wipe and left with phone with no Rom to boot and no file to flash I did sleep all night and finally my old ideas came through and found pdanet and since then have been spreading this message around, glad that it helped u.

[Q] I think I messed something up

Hey guys I've bee trying to get cynogenmod working on my lg g2. Before I get to the details about the problem, some specifics about my phone. It is an att model d800. I got the phone rooted properly and the next step was to install clockworkmod recovery. I had a lot of problems with this step. For some reason I could not get into clockworkmod recovery after it was flashed to the device. Someone on irc pointed me in the direction of an app called freegee that does the job for you. So I tried the app and it did work for me. I booted to clockworkmod and I tried to get out of it by choosing the reboot choice. But since then the phone has been flashing the lg screen. I don't really know what to do or what I might have messed up.
Please help?

Update
I'm able to get into cwm recovery but I don't know what to do from there. After plugging it into my pc, it's not really recognizing it. Windows device manager shows me an error under LG-D800 stating that the drivers for this device are not installed. I tried reinstalling the drivers but it didn't change anything.

Can you get into download mode? If so, you should be able to flash the phone back to stock. Granted, you'll wipe the phone clean in the process, but that's preferable to having a glowing brick right?
Anyway if you Google "flash G2 to stock", the first result should be an XDA thread dedicated to helping you out with the entire process.

D802 stuck in recovery in a weird way

Hi guys, I made a mess today. I decided to restore my stock LG software backup and everything went well. Then there were some LG updates and when they downloaded, I chose to install them. That took me to TWRP. I figured it needs the stock recovery to install the updates so I gave up on the updates and tried to reboot my device. It booted back to TWRP. I found it a bit weird, but I didn't care since I had a backup on the phone. I wiped data, cache, system and dalvik and restored the backup. Guess what, the phone would still only boot into recovery. I started freaking out so I wiped everything except internal again and flashed an AOSP based rom along with the gapps. Still wouldn't boot except recovery. Then I started to freak out even more and decided to wipe EVERYTHING, along with Internal storage. And here I am now, wiped every single thing on the device, stuck in recovery and can't connect my phone to the PC with usb. just a few minutes before I have to leave home. Any ideas on how to fix this? It was just some pointless LG update and it caused such a mess... ADB sideload won't work for me, I'm gonna attempt to find some drivers or something.

Anybody?

Dude, I've done my research and tried to fix it myself. The phone won't go into download mode and it won't connect to my PC. Drivers installed, LG tool installed. I just don't know what to do and I need help from someone who does know.

If you have twrp 2.6.3.4 you sideload rom but this may not help you.
You are going to have to go back to 100%stock.

In TWRP you have USB-OTG. If you have this cable you can install ROM from USB-flash)

I had the same issue. Only way to fix it was with the LG flashing tool. Make sure the usb port you are using on your computer is working and the cable isn't broken. I just followed the steps from this thread and it worked 100% for me.

[Q] hyperdrive stuck at splash screen

I've tried asking this in the q&a section on the main thread but I think I'm being ignored because I'm asking a question about the at&t version inside a Verizon thread. Idk. But I've tried installing hyperdrive rls15 and I follow the instructions on the main page for at&t and I get to where I need to reboot and wait 10 mins. Well it just stays on the splash screen. I've tried repeating the install 4 time's now amd the same results. I found a tooic saying fix permissions but it fails. I'm sorry if this has been asked already. I have looked through several different threads but I may have overlooked it. My phone baseband is I337UCUAMDL im on 4.2.2 and have twrp v2.5.0.2 as my recovery. I've also verified the md5. any suggestions?

I hate to double post but if anyone has any ideas as to why this is happening I'm going to try and redownload and try loki patch I don't know if it's needed but I will try.

Same problem here,
I'm going to try and install a kernel through TWRP. I've tried a fresh root / loki install, same issue.
For me, I remember having to install an AT&T compatibility pack.zip file on previous Hyperdrive releases, like RLS 10.
I tried to install RLS15 and at the very end of install, it says this:
Flashing Kernel
file_getprop: failed to stat"/tmp/aroma/kernel.prop": No such file or
directory
However, for some reason, after trying to install this new release, I was not able to restore data in TWRP from a backup of RLS 10. I was able to restore to a non-rooted backup (i don't know how), and it appears that I am not rooted anymore, and I don't think I have superuser anymore. So, I'm not exactly sure where to start.

Glad to see I'm not the only one this is happening to. Please let me know if you figure it out. I noticed the same thing but thought I seen someone else say that it was nothing.

so i redownloaded all files and nothing. tried loki patch and nothing. tried kt kernel because i seen another post with someone saying it was the only one that worked for them and nothing. im still stuck on splash screen. please if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know im desperate now. i really want to try this rom so any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Same here =/
Flashing a kernel before ROM didn't do anything.
I'm starting to think that we don't have Super User installed anymore, I tried re-installing some BackUps (rooted backups)
and TWRP said something like, you don't have SuperUser instyalled, want to install it? *Slide to Install* Phone quickly reboots (not showing any proof of Super User being installed in TWRP emulator) and still no effect.
When I get some time ill look into how to install SuperUser, which I thought was already put on when we root.
Have you tried installing any other ROMS with success?

Are you still on MDL? I am, and im starting to think i need to just go ahead and do the update from AT&T, and then switching over to Safestrap recovery, but i hope i can find another solution before doing all that.

Are you using Safe strap?
I was having the same problem after like 4 tries i figured out that every time I would download this it would go into the internal memory when it should have gone into the xd. I had to move folders manually. After that everything has been working correctly.

Do you know what folders have to be moved and where?

I created a new one on the xd card named it roms so I won't forget.

All I did was go to Mounts in TWRP recovery and mounted my microSD card and this fixed the problem.

cool im going to go try it in a few mins thanks
i tried mounting both internal and external and still nothing can you go through the steps you did from start to finish maybe im missing something

Okay, so the first thing i did was mount my microSD(external sd) then a full wipe. Even though i was mounted to my sd card, i still had to navigate to my internal memory to select the zips i wanted to flash. I first installed an older release of Hyperdrive Rom, and during installation, i selected Full Wipe option again. i also added my AT&T compatibility pack.zip to be flashed right after the ROM. Also, i dont know if this affected anything, but i tried installing the T-Mobile compatibility pack on a previous attempt. I read somewhere where some1 did this and it worked for them, but it didnt work for me until i did another install of RLS15 and the ATT pack.
Hope this can help you
