Downloaded cm11 went to flash it and it failed. I have no other Roms on my phone. I'm in recovery right now and every time I go to reset the phone it just comes back to recovery. My question is how do I load a ROM on to the phone while in recovery? At this point I give up and just want to go back to cm 4.3....:\

U could use adb and push it to your phone but I have had no luck in trying to set up adb. IG I were u I would use recovery yo shut down yo save battery and search the development thread if I remember right and download the lg flash tool and stock firmware hold down all 3 keys while plugging in USB and follow the onstructions

Should be able to plug your phone into a PC and mount storage like a flash drive. Copy ROM to storage from PC.

I had the same issue and I installed minimal adb and fastboot to desktop and also installed pdanet for drivers and then used sideload to push Rom to phone. Stock lg drivers in pc don't recognize phone in recovery so used pdanet to install lg drivers and all worked well.

Do you have a step by step process for that?
1. Download and install minimal adb and fastboot in ur pc.(make sure to install it in desktop for easy access)
2. Download and install pdanet.
3. Download paranoid 4.3 and gapps. Rename them to 1.zip and 2.zip for easy reference. Copy these zips to step 1 folder.( does not have to be 4.3 Rom I just referred it as it is small in size and sideload sometimes has problems to push larger files.)
4. Reboot phone to recovery and perform factory reset followed by all wipes in advanced tab.
5. Go to advanced in home page of twrp and start sideload(connect usb to pc) and open step 1 folder and hold shift and right click mouse within the folder window and select command prompt and command opens and it should display in which folder it is opened in. Type adb devices and it should show your phone and if it does not close command.(keep phone connected to pc and in sideload mode) if it does detect as sideload go to step 8.
6. Open pdanet which u installed and go through options to install lg drivers and now your pc should detect your phone.
7. Exit sideload in phone and restart sideload again. Then do step 5 again. Your PC should show and sideload under devices.
8. Google how to use adb sideload as I don't remember the commands it's not hard at all. Once you knew commands push Rom first to phone followed by gapps (it
PS I am not a developer and had to learn these and don't remember sideload commands but it worked for me.

I'll try when I get home. I just went out to try and get a otg cable and is not recognizing the thumb drive.
lingarajug you saved my life dude lol. might not have been a big thing to some of the better informed guys on here but i was freaking out. lol
Glad it helped you, which Rom did you end up flashing, my thoughts is lg g2 is still very new so stay patiently for at least 6 months until more development and support develops for our devices I am staying out of flashing business for the next 6 month's.

Cm10.2 is very very stable. That's what I flashed back to. What's funny is I went to about three local "android gurus" on Craig's list and none of them could fix it. This board is valuable as hell

Hello,
after trying out a few roms i wanted to go back to stock and wanted to have a completely clean device.
So i went booted to TWRP recovery and wiped everything i could (including the currently installed ROM and internal storage).
So I wanted to mount USB to copy the ROM on my device but it doesn't connect to the PC.
So I'm stuck in recovery and have no idea how to connect it.
I hear the sound of the PC recognizing a USB connection but then comes that USB error sound you hear when it fails to connect.
Please help
Of course it doesn't. Internal storage is not UMS.
Use adb to push files.
Also, if you want to go back to stock you don't use recovery. Use the bootloader and fastboot.

I did try to push via adb but as I said the USB didn't connect
but thanks I did go back to the thread u posted and noticed there are two links for the drivers
it seems that the 2nd one (it's the one I had installed) doesn't actually include adb drivers so my device couldn't connect
well so I installed the drivers from the first link and it's resolved thanks a lot!
Guys I need your help.
I have Nexus 4 16GB pre owned. Bought it with Cyanogenmod 10.2 installed already and rooted. Then CM11 nightlies came and I installed it OTA but it seems that it has a lot of bugs so I rolled back to CM10. When I rolled back and rebooted, it does not come up (Google and Cyanogenmod logo only). I rebooted it to bootload mode, then recovery (TWRP) and accidentally wiped out everything including ROM/OS. I don't have that much knowledge in restoring my phone. I tried connecting it to PC (WinXP) and it does not recognize the device. Tried everything posted in different forums on how to connect my device to PC but to no avail. Cannot do USB debugging thing 'cause I can only utilize device's recovery mode (TWRP). I'm thinking now on having this device repaired by cellphone repair shop just to install OS.Anyone can help? Other forums look like too technical for me. Noob here, really.

Boot up holding vol down so you are at the android part.
Then attached your phone to your PC and use adb push to push a custom rom or download your source image from google.
Grab the google factory image here https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/occam-krt16s-factory-2006f418.tgz
Then do adb shell
mkdir /sdcard/Download
exit
adb push /donwload folder/name of the zip /sdcard/Download
Then go to recovery twrp and install the zip
Should get you up and running

I was trying to wipe everything from Nexus 4 because i sold it and was going to ship the phone. I did this in the recovery mode (Team Win) and i had cyanogenmod installed.
It turns out i also wiped off any backups and also the OS on the phone. Now the phone has no operating system on it and only boots into recovery mode. I can't even transfer any backups to the phone because for some reason the phone isn't recognised as a storage device on my PC anymore.
What should i do?? I need to install any type of OS before i ship the phone

Done this 2 weeks ago dont freak out. If u are a twrp user u can sideload the from into the device using adb. Make sure u have all the adb drivers on ur pc. Put the rom file into the folder where the adb files are. Now go to ur recovery/twrp advanced then choose sideload. Plug the phone into ur pc. Now go back to the folder whre adb is. Hold shift , right click and choose start open command wndow here. Now the black cmd box will appear type "adb devices" dont include the quotemarks. It should show device with serial and would say sideload at the right. This means ur phone is connected properly, then type adb sideload (nameofrom).zip and it pushes the file into ur phone it will be named sideload.zip. now reboot phone to recovery and flash awayyy. Sorry for the messy instructions

Do i download the rom from here ?? developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occamkot49h
And then not extract, just copy that file to the phone using ADB?
If u want flash any custom rom, for the n4 i recommend purity or cataclysm.

Why not just flash it all through fastboot? I find that a lot better/easier than using twrp's adb push.

Fast boot requires installing android adb if I am not mistaken. It can get messy if OP doesn't already have it installed.

I just didn't have time to write a long post, explaining it to him + didn't he already solve his problem through adb?
The same problem happened to me but after thinking it through I found a solution. Just used wugs toolkit and flashed back to stock and selected the option soft-bricked. got me back to stock in no time. Just putting this out there if anyone else is reading this thread and dont/cant use adb.
Hello everyone,
Last night I was wiping my phone in TWRP to reinstall a ROM and without paying attention, I accidentally hit clear internal storage when I was checking things to wipe. Now I have nothing to flash to it in ADB and no ROM loaded to the phone. I have ADB on my laptop. How can I use that to push a ROM file from my laptop to my phone so I can use it from TWRP to flash some firmware back onto my phone and boot it up again? I have very little experience in ADB, so any help that can be give with ADB commands would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Here you go, buddy!

Awesome! Thanks! I wish I had seen that last night. It sounds like it's actually very simple. Now if only I wasn't at work without my phone...haha. I'll give it a shot when i get home.
I've been trying what that post says to do, but I can't get my PC to recognize the phone. I installed the drivers from LG's site for the VS980 (yes, that is my correct model). My computer runs windows 7. When I plug the phone in, my computer says it's an unspecified device and fails to find any drivers to install. Does anyone know of where I can download drivers for my model? Thanks again.

No, "adb sideload name.zip" is the correct way. There are very few devices that have recovery with no sideload functionality. You need to go into TWRP - Advanced - ADB Sideload.

phone got wiped, os and all. can only get into team win recovery (no android with !). in recovery file manager there is NOTHING on the phone. can not get phone to be recognized by computer. used sdk to install drivers still nothing. can not activate usb debugging as there is no os. reboot in recovery gives warning no os on phone. there is nothing to restore, all folders in install tab are completely empty. is there anyway to save my phone? there is nothing on it...just enough for safe mode and recovery.
You need to get the computer to recognize your device. When booted into recovery and the device connected to your pc go to device manager and see what the issue is.

You've got two options
1. Flash the factory image.with fastboot. You'll then have to re-install twrp amrd root
2. Push a rom onto your device using adb in recovery. Then flash that in twrp

ok...it is recognized in fast boot but not in recovery. as far as i knew i only need the usb drivers that come from sdk as it is a google device. is there another driver set i need from recovery. where could i find super simple instructions of how to flash image? and if i didnt care about re rooting could i just use fast boot to flash iamge and run with that?

Simplest way is to download the factory image. Google nexus factory image. It's a .tgz file. Extract it using 7-zip. There's a flash-all.bat file in there. Boot into the bootloader and with your device connected to the pc just double click the flash-all.bat. It will wipe your device so if you can, backup first.
