[Q] Restore using a Mac? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had my LG rooted with TWRP installed. Then the OTA came and is making my device go into an endless loop. I cannot even enter the download mode- it just goes into TWRP. Windows does not load drivers anymore- tried 3-4 different packages, G2 shows up in Device Manager but with the exclamation mark for no drivers and ADB doesn't show any devices.
Using my Mac, I can connect to ADB. I tried pushing the PA ROM and the file transfers but when I try to install, i just get a failed message.
Can anyone possibly help?

HELP - recovery issues. Unable to flash any ROMs

Months ago I flashed a Modaco custom ROM to my friend's San Francisco. There haven't been any problems of late, however today I attempted to flash a Froyo build so he can try out C2DM apps like Beejive and Facebook and I was unable to load up a recovery screen. When holding Vol DOWN and booting I just got a white rectangle with FTM inside it - indicating that there was no recovery image installed.
I tried flashing Clockwork Recovery with the ZTE Blade Recovery Manager 2.9 but it kept saying 'Unrecognised' after selecting the .img file, no matter which one I used or whether I changed the name or screamed 'hail Mary'. I attempted multiple reinstalls to no avail.
The device is rooted so I tried using Terminal from the Android Market and flashing the recovery image but although it didn't come up with any errors I was still unable to boot into the recovery image. All it does now is show a green android the same as it would if pressing VOL UP when booting.
I've even tried installing with fastboot for mac, but despite being able to input the necessary commands, fastboot doesn't flash the device and just sticks at 'waiting for device' when the recovery flash command is executed. I've tried connecting the device a number of times, rebooting etc. I have no other USB ports available and no access to a Windows pc at present.
Can anyone assist here? The phone still works fine with the Modaco ROM but it's a bit annoying if that's all he will ever be able to use now!
Thanks in advance.
Japanese_Jellyfish_RLS9_image.zip should be easy, and it installs recovery as well. Please read how to install it.

[Q] Fastboot Recovery - No USB recognition

Hi all,
first of all - sorry for my bad english.
I have the following problem with my nexus 7:
the device is rooted and has the clockworkmod recovery installed, the Android version is 4.1.1.
My Computer stopped to recognize the tablet when i connected it, and it is not listed in the device manager anymore.
I tried different USB-ports, cables and even computers with no result, but OTG with Stickmount still worked.
So i tried to install a rom via clockwork mod, but the installation process aborded.
When rebooting the device stucked at the white google logo and still does.
I can go into fastboot mode but if i choose "recovery" i will get back to the google logo forever again.
I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1773431&highlight=no+usb&page=2)
with instructions to flash the factory image via fastboot mode.
Now the fastboot command from the console shows also no result.
But i can´t install the driver, because my tablet isn´t recognized by my pc in any way evon not listed in the device manager.
Any Ideas?

If you can get your PC to recognize your phone with the phone's drivers installed, then you have hope. If you can still get into android itself, install twrp installer from the Play Store. Update to the latest recovery from there (assuming your rooted).
If you cannot get into android, but when pressing volume up while plugging a usb cable connected to a PC in, your phone is recognized by the PC, you have to flash the stock KDZ file using the R&D test tool that floats around on these forums. It will unroot your device, but it will give you the chance to start clean and unharmed.
For me, I have to send mine in under warranty because now my G2 doesn't even pop up on Windows or Linux.

[Q] Won't boot, drivers won't load

I have a Nexus 7 gen 1 that died at some point during a Google OTA update and was then given to me, so I'm not sure which factory firmware is on it.
When attempting to boot the device, it gets to the Nexus splash screen and stays there indefinitely. I booted it into the bootloader and connected it to a Windows 7 machine by USB, and Windows device manager detects it as "Android Device>Android Bootloader Interface" and installs a driver for it.
I then put the Nexus into recovery mode and it disappears from the Windows device manager. I wiped the cache partition and also data/factory reset. It still gets stuck at the splash screen when attempting to boot after the wipe, so back to recovery mode.
I choose "apply update from ADB", and then a "Nexus 7" appears in Windows device manager with no driver. Windows attempts to install a driver and fails. I attempt to update the driver using Google's USB driver, one from the SDK, and one from ASUS (they all appear to be the same folder), but on all attempts Windows says that it cannot find a driver for the device in the specified folder. Meanwhile 'adb devices' shows no detected device.
Can somebody provide a suggestion as to be able to sideload an image to this device? I don't know why the USB driver won't install, unless the Nexus has to be in USB debug mode, or the hardware is defective. And I haven't found a way to get it into debug mode when it won't complete a boot.
All reasonable suggestions welcome.

[Q] Stuck at LG Logo, TWRP Access, No rom/backup, adb not working

Accidentally did a Full Wipe of Everything. No backups and no rom to flash. Stuck at LG Logo but have access to TWRP. I can't seem to get adb sideload to work, just stays stuck on "Starting ADB sideload feature..."
I have a mac but have access to a PC that has android sdk installed but I've never used it with my LG G2. When I connect it to the PC, I can't seem to get it to recognize the correct drivers for it even though they are on the computer.
Any ideas?
