Help me please

So I've been messing around with android phones for a while now and I'm stuck. I was on the oxygen 2.1.6 Rom then decided to make a back up. However instead of going into CWR it just went into fast boot. When I go into recovery it just says fast boot mode no reboot or recovery img. I tried to odin back to stock like I usually do but adb wont recognize my device like it usually does. Please don't tell me I'm bricked and that I messed up bad. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I tried reinstalling drivers etc etc. Somebody help me lol

It sounds like you flashed a bad recovery. Download a new recovery , boot into fastboot, and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery yourrecoveryfile.img

adb wont recognize my device so how do I flash a new recovery

Adb only works when the phone is booted normally, provided usb debugging is on.
Use fastboot. If you want to make sure it's working, boot into fastboot mode and
Code:
fastboot devices
If it's working, you will see your serial number.

If the other options can't help you get your problem solved try Odin.
www.samfirmware.com
get the right files for your device and Odin program itself. There are tutorials on here how to use it.

sorry I was being an idiot. I tried fastboot and it showed nothing connected. When I flashed a recovery it just hung waiting for device. I have all the drivers loaded on the computer but my device is still unknown and wont be recognized. I have all the odin files and I have used odin before. This sucks

btw appreciate the help guys

Try installing pdanet, that will install all the drivers you need for fastboot and Odin.

my one click works on both versions, as all it does it just gets you root. if you want cwm then use rom manager afterwards.
but for his problem no it relies on adb and fastboot

Maybe not, but it does include some handy files. ;-)
Download and unzip Shabby's OneClickRoot
Install pdanet. (See the readme for which one.)
Reboot your computer.
Then try using his version of fastboot.
I'm assuming you are in fastboot mode (it will say so) and that you're using the usb cable that came with the phone.

I will give it a go now I do have PDA installed too

In Recovery, wiped probably too much - no ROM

Like the title says.
I'm in recovery, I wiped it all (unfortunately even the ROM as zip I put on it) and now I don't have no ROM on it and no zip to flash a ROM.
Thought this was no problem, knowing from smartphone recoveries to mount sdcard and copying the file on it. But Nexus 7, well, has no sdcard.
What can I do?
As it is now, I don't have nothing on it and rebooting it wouldn't lead to anything useful.
I need help.
What can I do?
Thanks in advance.

If you have Android SDK installed, you can use adb push to push the zip file to your internal storage. Put the ROM zip file in your Android SDK - Platform Tools folder on your computer, reboot the N7 into Recovery (connected to computer of course!), open Command Prompt window and change directories to where ever you keep your Android SDK (for me, it's: cd sdk/platform-tools). Then type:
Code:
adb push <name of ROM zip file> /sdcard
Wait, and after about 20 - 60 seconds it'll complete, then you can flash the ROM. It'll be on the root of your internal sdcard (/sdcard).

Sounds difficult for a bloody rookie like me - is there really no easier way? Like transfering via recovery by just telling recovery to mound internal-sd so that it'll pop up on my pc? (know that from CWM and 4Ext on my smartphone)
Or could you explain the steps so that even the bloodiest rookie of them all could understand it properly :-/
aaaw **** -.-
by the way, device is still in recovery

TWRP as well. Just unlocked, rooted and flashed recovery and now I wanted to have a custom rom.
I tried to mount data and what else there was in "advanced" - my PC doesn't show me anything
Edit: not in advanced, it's the point "mount"

Restock and reroot.You can use Wugfresh toolkit for this. You just install the toolkit and if you can boot in bootloader mode you're saved. That's what I did and it solved my problem.

How'd you root/unlock, toolkit of some type?
Using the adb command mentioned is the only way that I know of to push a file to your N7. It's not as difficult to do as it sounds.

Yeah that would work, as long as you don't re-lock via fastboot. That's what probably wiped out your sdcard, was the fastboot unlock of your device, as it wipes your sdcard.

Is it important which current status I choose?
There are 2 to be chosen: Soft-Bricked/Bootloop and Device is on/Normal
If "Device is on" means, that it's turned on, then this'll be my choice, right?
Totally shocked right now
This ain't even my device :-/

No, wiping of my /sdcard was all my fault. I guess I have to take all credit for that
Well downloading the Stock with the toolkit takes quite some time...
foolish me -.-
Thanks for your help so far.
I'll definetely report whether it worked or not

I've never used any of the toolkits out there, I've done it using adb/fastboot commands in a Command Prompt window.

I would've used your solution immediately but I'm just too unfamiliar with this method
Toolkits are probably the easiest way - and it was pretty easy - who could expect me to wipe the zip, I just moved to the storage before flashing it?...

Why does this file has to be hosted on goo.im?
Goo.im gives me roundabout 120kb/s...

It took a while for me also, but in the end everything worked well.

I desperately hope to have the same luck...will the bootloader still be unlocked after that procedure? I understand that root definetely is gone, but that shouldn't be a problem at all.

It will remain unlocked until/unless you run the fastboot command: fastboot oem lock
If you don't run this, it will remain unlocked.

Whoaaaa I could scream!
Now that I downloaded the right one and try to flash it through the toolkit, it tells me, that there's no adb to be found. He doesn't recognize the device in bootloader.
What should I do?
OH THANK GOD! Tried it via recovery, he found it and restarted into bootloader

First of all: thank you so much guys - I was really shocked, but it all worked out
One more question before I make the same mistake again. Where should I put the zip which I wanna flash? When I have it connected to the pc, it shows me a portable device where the folders of the internal storage are (like Alarms, Android, DCIM, Download etc pp) - that's where I put the ZIP before.
Shall I keep it there?
And another question: what should I wipe in order to get it done properly?
Edit: Figured it out - got me CWM, much more familiar with that one
but thanks again for all your help guys

so, I wiped my g2, and now can't get a rom back on it

I had rooted it, and flashed twrp, 2.6.3.2, and somehow wiped the OS off it, along with the SD card. so now I'm pretty much stuck in TWRP and can't seem to get a push or sideload to work. adb sideload apparently doesn't exist anymore, and when I do a push, I see the file get created on the phone but even after letting it sit for almost an hour, it still hasn't finished according to adb. I need to get a rom back on the device and not sure what to do next.
edit: I should add that even though I see a zip when I'm pushing, when I try to flash it, it doesn't work

If it can see the external card maybe you can load the os from there...Copy from your PC to the card and load it.Not sure what else you can do...I wish you luck.
EDIT:Maybe if you try to do it the legal way,i mean with LGs update or something from the pc,might work?

I just tried it and I was in a somewhat similar boat as you, and it solved the problem.

NOT true you should be able to sideload the roms using adb while in twrp. Click advanced and use sideload feature. ..you'll have to look up the push commands

you seriously just saved my ass man, thank you!!! I'm back up and running now

I never mod unless there is a return the stock and have ran through the guide and actually restored the phone. And this phone requires a lot more steps than a Sammy phone so I am glad I did that. Saved me twice already and saved time when I was in a pinch since I already knew how to do it.

spontaneous boot loop?

my rooted G2 with stock 4.2 suddenly quit accepting a charge and appears to be caught in a boot loop. when I have it in via usb to my laptop it (laptop) responds by recognizing 12 different devices while saying they they all need to be reformatted. when I unplug the device they go away on the laptop. when I hold power (device) the LG logo will appear then quickly disappear leaving only the very dim backlight as proof that it isn't completely dead. any ideas? thank you
one more thing, the fiddling I have been doing is xposed modules. the last one I think I activated was xblast tools (very cool sh*t by the way).

You need to flash the xposed disable zip that's automatically put on the root of the storage directory. The latest module or change you added is most likely the cause. After flashing the zip, you'll need to reinstall xposed. Remember to disable the module that caused the bootloop.

Do one thing flash the .tot file for your phone if you can get to download mod, it should bring it back to factory defaults but it will format your sdcard as well so all personal data will be gone.

Is there anyway to mount your phone to your computer? As there is the button on the main page of twrp 3rd one down. If not you should be able to use the adb push command to push it onto the "memory" of the phone allowing for you to read it and you to flash it from there. Or that's happened to me. I've used both of those options :$

I managed to do this once, I used TWRP adb sideload to push CM11 to my device then flashed back to stock from there.

if u have twrp 2.6.3.3 it will support otg u have to mount it after you connect to phone in recovery mode if not try format the card u r using for otg with fat32 file system and then try and if it still does not use and sideload in advanced settings to push rom, unfortunately LG drivers in pc does not seem to help pc see your phone in sideload mode so try installing pdanet drivers in ur pc and then connect ur phone to pc in sideload and push rom I did this several times and it worked all the time.
