Mount storage from what if you don't mind me asking? How bout jut downloading ROM straight to phone?
Learn how to use adb to push file into your phone the custom recovery for the lg g2 wont mount. Install adb into the computer and tell adb to flah or push the .zip file into the phone to learn how? see how to use adb in youtube or google it. Or just go back to stock with lg g2 tool until you learn how to use adb you don't flah anything to the phone till you know how to fix it and adb is most of the time your fixing tool.

Its in general forum bud....if you want a custom rom since your rooted and have custom recovery just follow steps carefully, true adb is useful but you don't have to go back to stock......never answered where your ROM is? PC? USB stick? I'm trying to help you!

Well im stuck in TWRP right now
If I try to boot, nothing happens and I get stuck at the LG logo. I also don't have any backups, so that is why I am trying to place a ROM in there so can flash it and get back into the phone. I accidentally wiped everything in the SD, so no roms or anything

Did you try the ota update and got stuck?.....but for your case follow the back to stock thread in general forum and download he right files for your carrier....if you did wipe your internal storage....which BTW you should never do but system data cage and davlik are all OK....let me know if you need a link I'll post if needed

I think what happened was I tried a factory reset and I didn't realize that it would wipe all of the my backups and rom files
and I tried to flash a new rom(without knowing of this), wiped the current rom, and when I tried to flash the new one after wiping my only one, I had nothing to flash
Also Google adb sideload if you want to...this is how you push a ROM to TWRP.....you don't need to know adb commands since it doesn't use normal commands....you will need to have adb installed form android sdk onto your computer and set enviromentals so your computer understands commands

If you have adb setup on your computer and have a rom on there just do this.....very simple....this is adb sideload....if you want stock follow the thread above..
On your pc go to your toolkit directory
Find the folder that has adb.exe in it
Copy your new Rom to this directory and rename it rom.zip (for simplicity)
Hold shift and right click on a blank bit of the folder
In the pop-up menu there should now be an option saying "open command prompt here" or something similar.
Boot your phone into twrp and plug it into your pc
On your pc's new command prompt screen type
adb push rom.zip /sdcard
Once it has completed you can install the rom as normal on your phone

You have to purchase clockwordmod form the Play Store.

If you're asking how you reboot into CWM, just install ROM Mgr from the market. It's one of the 1st options you see in the program after you've got it installed.
Make sure you deleted (or renamed) that .p file in /system, or the stock recovery WILL REFLASH. Just a heads up. Also, can anyone confirm that holding power+volume up+volume down while the device is off will reboot into the bootloader/fastboot mode? If so, you can access recovery mode from there, in case you run into a bootloop or something.

You can use sideload to copy a ROM and install it at the same time. You can do this through twrp. Refer this http://teamw.in/ADBSideload

download the rom and gapps to your computer
connect your phone to computer
make sure fastboot is working type in fastboot devices
use ADB Sideload in advance tab in TWRP. That will install your rom and gapps

use this^ and here's a little more detail
initiate ADB Sideload in advanced tab (check wipe cache and dalvik)
open terminal or command prompt
type adb devices
you should see your device as a sideload devices
type adb sideload and then drag and drop your zip to the command prompt
wait for the message to say that it has finished transferring
watch your phone's screen and you will see the flashing begin to happen like it normally would if you were doing it from the internal storage

I'm glad you are up and running!
I'm new so please forgive me and my ignorance through all of this. I had a great root experience with my old LG G3, so when I got my Axon 7 (A2017U) I thought I'd try to root it too. I tried to follow DrakenFX's guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/development/wip-axon-7-root-bootloader-unlokced-t3441204) but I bit off more than I could chew. I got to the point where I had TWRP up, but this is where I think things started to fall apart. I was confused by the instructions and in a haste I continued anyway. In TWRP I went to Wipe>Format Data typed in yes like TWRP said and boom, I had no idea what happened. Rebooting only got a screen that said "Type in your password" but my passcode I had on the phone before it bricked didn't work. So by now I start panicking a bit. I thought I made a mistake earlier so I went back and tried to reinstall TWRP by putting the phone into EDL. The phone got stuck that way for a while, but I now I have it in TWRP. Right now, I just want to get back to safe stock android.
I'm 200% sure I messed with something I wasn't supposed to and I believe that is the system image(?)which Draken also linked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68248798&postcount=53). I'm downloading it as I type. I'm going to do my best to leave my phone just like it is right now, in TWRP, and wait for more advice on this before I do anything else.. What I'm curious about is where did I go wrong and what do I need to do to get my phone working again, preferably without returning it? Thank you for any advice you have to offer.
Update: It's worth noting I didn't know to enable OEM Unlocking when I was in stock android. Dumb move I know. I'm new here.

no no no no ..................... put phone in EDL mode. Copy the stock image into the folder with the axon7root.exe file you used to flash TWRP. Make sure the stock file is named recovery.img (or whatever the TWRP file is named in that folder, it has been a long time since I did this). Then use the axon7root.exe program the exact same way you did before. It will flash the stock recovery. Then in stock recovery you can flash the B20 from ZTE

Maybe - I'd have to download it to find out. If you can't get stock recovery to take it this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69434328&postcount=17 gives you instructions on what lines to remove from the updater-script to make it flash in TWRP (I didn't have a problem making the stock B20 go in stock recovery, but I was unlocked at the time).

I'm going to try the first option. The second option's link take horrendously long to download.
Update: Trying to flash from TWRP results in error "Could not find 'META-INF/com/google/android/update-binary' which makes no sense since update binary is exactly where it should be.
Further Update: It seems that the problem might have been that when I compressed "update.zip" to fix "updater-script" it changed to file path by adding the title of the folder "update" to the beginning. I think that messed with the path giving the the meta-inf error.

I think I will roolback and flash 6.0. Looks like there is a lot of support and threads showing how to root from 6.0.

See my above post
Also make sure you have enabled usb debugging in dev options
Also look for enable oem unlock & if you see it enable it
And also disable verify apps by adb if you see that too

Ok thank you. I downloaded the cf auto root from the link you provided. I enabled debugging and oem, I disabled "verify apps by USB" not adb.
I'll give it a go...

Well I flashed it using odin. It says "pass" in odin and took a while to boot, but I think it worked. How do I verify? Download an app? And can I flash TWRP? If so, which one?
Thank you for your help

I see SuperSU installed so it worked. Thank you.
Do you know which TWRP I can install now?

I'd guess it would be the following for g903w s5 neo lte
https://dl.twrp.me/s5neolte/twrp-3.2.3-0-s5neolte.img.tar.html
Put in AP section of odin
As soon as the device restarts hold power button Vol up & home button to enter recovery
If you miss the moment to enter recovery for the first time after flashing & your phone boots you will have to reflash the image until you enter twrp for the first time

I managed to get TWRP installed. I tried to install Lineage 15.1 as per this site:
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/forums...-for-galaxy-s5-neo-android-8-1-oreo-download/
and am now stuck in a loop. It installed successfully with no errors but will stay stuck on the Lineage loading screen then revert back to recovery.
Any ideas what may be causing this? Should I install 14.1?

Correct process for flash rom
In twrp
Goto wipe
Advanced wipe
Wipe system data cache delvik/art cache
Install
Select rom zip
Install
Select gapps zip - use mind the gapps arm for lineage os 15. 1 http://downloads.codefi.re/jdcteam/javelinanddart/gapps
Optional install
Select root zip (use magisk)
Wipe delvik/art cache
Restart
If you didn't follow the above that's why it would bootloop
Hi, I'm wanting to root my s5 neo on 7.0 and like you, I'm also and finding it very difficult to find a guide that has a successful ending
I'm new to all this but I did notice that you tried to install lineage 15.1 for sm-g903F but your device is sm-g903w. Could that be your problem?
Have you successfully rooted your device yet?
To be honest I don't really want root, I just want to extract or atleast view all my saved wifi network passwords from the device.
