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] GT540 stuck on android screen HELP!!

Hi guy's
I have a few questions I'm really hoping someone could help or point me in the right direction..
I have looked for answers for a couple of days now when I had some free time but haven't found anything.
1. My brother's GT5-40 OPTIMUS is stuck on the android screen. Prior to it happening it was sitting idle. Would a hard reset fix this?
2. He would like to upgrade from 2.1 to maybe GB is it possible? And where can I find the correct thread to do this?
3. Is there anything I can do to optimize battery power?
I hate to annoy everyone with my questions but I'm new to this kind of thing I've only just started flashing my xu and exploring these things so don't have much to go on and would be grateful for any help at all.
Thanks for looking.

you don't provide much info , but first, can you get phone connected to pc ? (example in download mode)
if you can then flash from kdz update is possible. (use this tutorial : link , if no go then try different phonemodes in kdz updater)
Hi
I can get into download mode but nothing else. I tried to flash in kdz bit didn't work for me all the modems seem to sit idle. What other info would be helpful? Sorry I'm in unknown territory with this.
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
It's been over a year since I've used KDZ, but if not mistaken you have to use fastboot (power on while holding camera) with KDZ. If you can get into fb mode you can try to get KDZ to work. If the modems remain idle you may need to reinstall drivers. If you can get to fastboot you can resolve your problem. G'luck
Hi
Can't get into fb mode I did try a few times. I guess I've hit a wall with this.

fb is not visible , it apperas as black screen ,, but you can confirm that with cable connected to usb (in androidsdk : "fastboot devices" )
also, try that method : unplug usb from phone,power off device (eg. battery out, to be sure), put kdz updater ready, and then plug usb cable and immedetly start kdz updateing... (i remember, i've had same problem and then somehow i've got it working with that method)
also try several times.
also, i cant understand why kdz updater doesn't work in download mode , are you sure that u have all drivers installed correctly ? tried several modes in kdz updater ? (cs_emurdiance and etc.)

I'll give it a try and report back. I really appreciate this. Kdz didn't seem to work I will double check all the drivers etc and see if I've missed something.
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
So I tried fb mode, nothing like what you describe happens when I attempt to get into fb mode. I double check that all kdz drivers were there -one was missing so when I got that I was intact able to flash the phone, but it made no difference, I get the LG logo on start up then it goes to the android screen and no further. When I try fb mode following your instructions I get the boot up as described above, I tried it a few times but always the same result.

Enter the download mode (volume - and power button)and flash the official rom(should be in 7z format)
I tried downloading the official Rom but couldn't get it all the links are not working, well all the ones that I tried. Do you know of any? I'm really grateful of all the help.

See if the device has fastboot on it, try Volume Up+Search+Power or Volume up+Camera+Power (Let go of power when powered up and let go of other buttons when in black screen or if it says 'Fastboot Mode').
You need to install the drivers, look on google.
If there is no fastboot then your only luck is Hyper Terminal and KDZ Updater. (KDZ Updater for flashing and Hyper Terminal for wiping (That is why the device will not boot))
And of course you need to be in download mode (VolDown+Power)

Hyperterminal?? Still having no luck with kdz, I can flash stuff on the phone but it makes little or no difference as it still ends up on the android splash screen.

Yes Hyperterminal, you have to use it to wipe the data has KDZ does not help with it.
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using xda premium
Right so use hyperterminal yo wipe the data then go ahead with the rest of it. I will try this method and see what happens, the only other thing is that I can't get into fast boot mode at all, I have tried lots of times and nothing happens, can I safely do this in download mode?

When I try to go into download mode to flash the correct kdz file in flash tool to reset the entire thing back to stock it stays on the screen that says download mode and has the blue dots. And when I try to run the program through windows and the flash tool it tells me that the phone isn't connected to the PC. Can anybody please help me?

Of you search up stock ROM for the lg g2 you should find something that has d801 stock firmware you would see d8010c or something like that find it and read up on it.

If your using windows make sure you run terminal from with ABD shell folder or it won't give you the ABD commnads.
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem please help!!!
someone help please, me too have the same issue please.
Just boot into twrp and select install zip from sideload. Connect the phone to pc. Go to your adb folder and type
adb sideload .zip*(for example:adb sideload update.zip)
Be patient, you got to wait until adb has copied your zip to the phone. Then the actual flashing will start. So leave the phone untouched for like 15minutes and wait till it's done.
This way you can flash the phone in a working state and then kdz again.
Don't forget to wipe all before flashing and factory reset afterwards.

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.

Wiped Internal storage by accident

Ok, I've got issues. I accidentally wiped internal storage as I was trying to flash a new ROM. I'm trying to ADB push a new ROM to the phone so I can actually get it functional. I'm running a command prompt from my SDK folder, but it keeps telling me that I don't have a device connected. Now, I know I had working drivers on this PC because it is the one I used to root. Any ideas why it would keep telling me that? Or some drivers that might work. I'm booted into TWRP 2.6.3.3 I have System, Data, and Cache mounted, and when I plug the phone in the PC makes the new device sound. I'm kind of at the end of my options here.
Have you tried flashing back to stock?

Install universal drivers, not carrier ones. They are indeed "limited". You could alternatively try Koush's drivers That are floating around.

[q] please help! Need step by step to flash stock

I m on verizon lg g2 and im stuck in recovery with my system completely wiped. I cannot get drivers installed to read ADB for the life of me. I've tried them all including the universal drivers. Im not too familiar with the whole adb thing and or working with a computer so if someone could step by step me a procedure on how to either flash back to sock or get a rom on my phone that can be flashed, anything to get it working, I am rooted.
PLEASE HELP ME!
driver installation failing
Bump for help
I have a similar issue with my sprint LG-LS980 [STOCK] Rooted I've tried multiple LG drivers but my computer (windows 7) tells me that the driver installation has failed every time I plug in my phone. I am still able to transfer files with wireless storage.
I need either getting the drivers to work or flashing back to stock rom without using a usb transfer cable
what I did
Hey I had a similar problem, could only get on cwm, couldn't get adb to work after the ota.
I did what this person suggested and installed pdanet drivers on my computer and it worked great!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563527
I then went to cwm to sideload, I sideloaded twrp then did what this guy said:
