I'm wondering if anyone can help me out with this...
I traded my buddy my ATT G2. The phone was rooted and had TWRP installed. Well, when he got it, he received the update and installed it. Now the phone buts straight into TWRP.
Now, I was under the impression that OTA's can't install if a device has a custom recovery, So I don't know what's going on. I told him to sideload a rom to the device and then try to flash through TWRP, but his internet speeds is slow..
I also found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370 do anyone know if this will work with the ATT G2 or have any other insight on how to get the phone back up and running?
I did a mistake in the past when I copied paranoid Rom and g apps onto sdcard and then rebooted into recovery and wiped all in advanced wipe and did not have anything to flash and nothing is in phone to boot so rebooted back into twrp using key combo and then used sideload and pushed paranoid 4.3 and gapps and they are smaller size Rom and gapps and then downloaded clean Rom se and all is well, but my pc could not recognise my phone with lg drivers so installed pdanet and confirmed adb commands working and then performed sideload, so first have paranoid 4.3 and its gapps and download and install pdanet (don't use it yet) then boot into recovery and factory reset followed by all wipes in advanced wipes reboot to recovery from within twrp connect using cable and then run adb command to see if ur pc recognizes ur phone and if not recognized open pdanet (make sure it's installed already) and select options program gives you to install lg drivers from a list of several other brands and then run adb commands again( if you don't have adb in pc then download and install minimal adb and fastboot app with destination as desktop) and then copy Rom and gapps to adb minimal and fastballs folder and rename them to easy remembering as u like and then start sideload in twrp and run adb command and PC should say sideload and then run commands to install Rom and gapps and reboot and in meantime download Stockrom of your choice and install it, I hope you know how to use adb

Just use the return to stock thread stickies in the general section.

Yes if you have time to download those huge files it is recommended to go back to stock and in my note above it does not have to be a 4.3 Rom it can be any Rom of your choice.

This fixed my D800 up after that update broke the phone into only booting to recovery:

I want to completely wipe/format all of my nexus and then install a custom ROM without installing the stock 4.2 rom and then having to download the custom ROM and installing it with cwm if possible. I have installed lots of ROMs and it feels like the kernels are not making much difference and would like to do a fresh start now I know the ROM/kernel I want. I also have never been able to install a recovery from the nexus tool kit and wonder if wugs is better.
Just trying to save a step.

Just do these steps :
Code:
> fastboot erase boot
> fastboot erase cache
> fastboot erase recovery
> fastboot erase system
> fastboot erase userdata
> fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.13.img
> fastboot reboot-bootloader
Then install TWRP : http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/103
Then use "adb push" command to push your rom to your device using adb, then install it using TWRP
Thank you. That is what I want but never read that thread because it says factory ROM.

I'm sure it works well with a stock install but I had two problems I could not fix. First was twrp wanted a password and second even after I redid everything but with cwm the flash said it could not mount any partition.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
You have to be booted into android in order to ADB push correct? So how would this work from a wiped device?
Figured out how
I figured out how to do this. I got sick of having to install stock after a complete wipe and format only to immediately flash a custom rom. The only reason I was flashing stock was to put the rom zip on my SD. After wiping everything I re installed TWRP with fastboot and boot into recovery. TWRP wants a password to mount data. I just pushed cancel and was let into the main menu. Still couldn't mount data until I reboot back into recovery from recovery. Once I did that data was auto mounted. I choose ADB sideload. Then had to open a terminal on my linux machine in the dir. that contained my rom. Then su in terminal and do command- adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip. It would only work with su otherwise I got a permission error. After it pushed over I just flashed it from TWRP and boot up like normal.
Thank you. That should work. I didn't try a reboot after twrp install.

I use TWRP its way better then CWM. Very simple you can also get it through root capabilites with a toolkit. im up to the latest Jelly bean software then rooted and installed with toolkit. Sideload your rom clean delvik cache and regular cache do factory reset and instal rom and enjoy :laugh:
I was going to flash a rom using twrp. Before I got to flash it I wiped the internal storage. Now I have nothing on my tablet. Can I use the adb sideload feature in twrp to push a rom on the device? If so can you explain how? I'm new at this so I do think know the commands. Thank you for your help.
I'm in the same boat as you
Sort of in the same boat as you. Except I'm having trouble with ADB sideload and Fastboot. But for you to try and fix your issue go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001868
That toolkit will allow you to flash either a Google stock ROM or a backup using fastboot. If that doesn't work then reply back to this thread.
I also did the same thing as you did, I was able to side load cyanogen mod on the nexus
Just go into recovery and then into adbsideload option,make sure device is connected to PC and adbfastboot drivers are installed,then while your recovery is in adbsideload mode, type in command by opening command prompt in platform tools in sdk 'adb sideload filename.zip'
Where filename is the name of the rom you downloaded,then the ROM will be pushed and twrp will flash it automatically
Make sure you reset the device(factory reset) from twrp first,otherwise ROM will not be flashed

You can also use an OTG/memory stick. TWRP reads them just fine. I've also used an SD card & reader. Load your rom, kernel, gapps & connect. Then you can flash all right from your memory-source. I find it much more convenient.

So, I wiped my phone and didn't realize that the rom I was about to install was corrupted (I think the download didn't finish) and I forgot to do a backup, what can I do to recover from this disaster?
Use Nexus toolkit.
Two easy options:
1. Use adb to push a rom to your sdcard from your recovery then install like normal
2. Use fastboot to flash a stock image your system partition
Download a ROM that's not corrupted and place it in platform tools folder (where you have your adb is located) and just go to your phones recovery and sideload

Thank you to all of you, I used Wug's Toolkit (NRT) and it worked.
Similar Problem
My problem is similar but a bit different.
I flashed CWM over the top TWRP and when I re-entered custom recovery and I went in to install a zip from sd not all my folders where showing including the folder I keep all my roms in.
When I try to boot back in to system it just takes me back to recovery.
Am I being a noob or is it something gone wrong?
Thanks in advance!
This isn't my phone. It was just running the stock OS with root. I think what happened is that an update from tmobile was released, and got installed, which corrupted the ROM/OS. The only backup it has is a couple of months old. I've tried wiping data/system/caches and factory resets which did not work. I've also tried restoring from the backup; just system, then both data and system, and no results.
Currently it has no ROM on it that I can install.
No matter what I do it always reboots back to TWRP. It has TWRP 2.6.3.2
I've tried to mount the SD card from the Mount menu so I can push a ROM to it, which doesn't work.
I've tried using ADB sideload but it doesn't seem to start, and I'm not able to see the device from command line with 'adb devices'
I've tried using the LG PC Suite, but it also cannot detect the device.
Please help, thanks!

Is that what would prevent side load from working?
I've installed the drivers previously, and can use adb/USB storage with my LG G2.

you said you see no adb devices, this usually means the adb drivers are not installed. no adb drivers = no sideload. also make sure you are in twrp when you are trying to use adb. also i'd recommend updating to twrp 2.6.3.3 from the official twrp site, it's much better than 2.6.3.2. also if you are using an outdated adb.exe that will give you adb problems. can get the latest from android website.

Well, I have no way to transfer any files to the phone, so I can't install the new recovery. All I need to do is be able to push a ROM file to the phone, I think, so I can install it.
I am using adb sideload from recovery. I'm not aware of another location to do so. It just sits at the prompt saying starting sideload...

that's because you have no adb connection. no connection = no pushing files. that's why i said you need to get adb working first.
I installed the universal adb driver and now 'adb devices' does show the device, and I'm transferring the ROM with adb sideload 'filename', so hopefully this will work.
Thanks!

Okay I got the ROM transferred and I have installed it successfully.
Using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598361
But when I reboot it goes straight to recovery.
A factory reset fails. I'm only able to advanced wipe of system/data, also it fails when I wipe cache or dalvik.
So I've tried wiping system/data, then installing the ROM again, and it just reboots straight back to recovery.
I sideloaded TWRP 2.6.3.5 for tmobile. Verified it shows 2.6.3.5 TWRP now. I'll try to sideload/install the ROM again.
Edit: When trying to factory reset it says failed to mount cache.
Okay so I have successfully installed the ROM with TWRP 2.6.3.5 and when I reboot it still goes straight into recovery.
What next?
Thanks
Edit: Is there perhaps something wrong with the bootloader, or what? I'm thinking part of the issue is because I can't mount or wipe cache/dalvik?
I'm in the exact same position with the d800. Stuck in twrp. I think we need to sideload a working boot.img. Idk. I was working on it all night reading everything I could about adb because although I had the lg drivers and my PC recognized my phone was connected it would give me a driver error. Thus I couldn't use the flash tool. Can you get to download mode?

How do you start download mode?
I was able to mount cache now, after unchecking format setting (use rm instead of -rf), but after doing factory reset and advanced wipe (everything except internal storage), then installing ROM, it still reboots straight back into recovery. Damn.
Any luck? I tried flashing CM11 on TWRP 2.6.3.2 (per XDA instructions) and it failed. Now I am stuck in recovery and can't ADB new recovery

Have you try to do a full wipe? In any case, yoy can download other rom that works sure and put in the sdcard using adb when you are in recovery mode...
Check if when you flash the rom, you are getting an error related with loky-... (Something like this)...
Why don't you try to install back cwm if you still have your cwm backup. Then after that restore your backup.

How can i install back to CWM? if i cant get out of Recovery?? I would just download another rom but computer wont show my phone since stuck in recovery, As you can tell i have limited access to computer privileges due to using a work computer, so I do not have any of the tools on the computer.

Yes i did a full wipe, when i flash AOKP 2/16 its successful but stays boot looping, but PA and CM11 says failed, but nothing mentioning loki.
Can you not mount in twrp? Or go into download mode and adb push another ROM onto the phone? If your in a bootloop just wipe everything twice. Mount or adb push a new ROM AFTER checking md5. Both those have worked for me :$

Is your TWRP out of date? You can update TWRP while in TWRP. Or just adp sideload another ROM.
How do you update twrp while in recovery? When flashing the other two roms its saying something about binary?? And how do you side load, yes im real new to the g2 root game, my nexus's were so much easier and never delt with adb sdk really, ill have more luck tomorrow when im on computer i can actually download stuff , when i flash aokp i see all the files through file manager but just won't boot

By using ADB. If your pc does not detect phone. Try installing lg drivers or those on pdanet drivers.
Link for universal drivers to get ADB working.

Adb is the way to go if your stuck in recovery. And even if you're a newb its easy to learn as there are countless tutorials out there. Just read up on it and then you can either push a new ROM or push cwm and restore your old backup
