Basically I tried to install acid audio mod 8 on my phone but did not realize that it was xperia only, so now it is stuck on "android is upgrading"/"starting apps" everytime i reboot. I tried flashing back to acid audiomod 7 and that didnt help. I am running Slimrom with franco kernel btw. I also tried wiping dalvik cache, just cache, and formating the phone from recovery, none of that helped. I dont have any roms saved on my phone or any backups so I am stuck like this and I cant connect my phone to my pc, my pc would recognize it but it wont show up in my computer so I cant access it to to save another rom to it. I tried connecting via recovery (where it goes "download mode do not unplug the device until the process is complete") But that doesnt work, the it would try and install drivers for two "Full JellyBean on Mako" (so it seems like slimrom is based off of a older cm 10 build), but it would come back with no drivers found. When I am in recovery via clockwork my pc recognizes my phone as "Android" but again I still cant do anything with it. Someone please help! I need to fix it by tonight because I am going camping tommorow with family for a few days so having my phone working is a must .
Thanks for those that try to help!
PS I tried using nexus 4 toolkit to reinstall drivers that didnt help.

What exactly do you mean it recognizes as android? Do you mean from device manager? Does it recognize it via adb? If so you can use adv to push or side load a rom

Im not sure how to do that, lol, im still pretty noob, but yeah I mean from devicemanager.
I would install the SDK . you could also use the adb files of the toolkit if you want
When you locate the adb files. Open a command prompt (shift right click ) and type adb devices. To check if its being recognized. If it is we can push a ROM.
Download ROM of choice and place it in the same folder as adb
Then type the command
Adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/nameofrom.zip
Or if you near a PC I can help out via teamviewer

Anyways thank you marsdta for helping me through team viewer .
Download the factory image, learn to use adb or try the toolkit to flash it back to stock, and never touch your phone again. As far as drivers, try this. http://junefabrics.com/android/downloadold.php

i had the exact same problem, it was stuck at starting apps, then suddenly i heard my phones msg toe go up, so i thought id randomly give a call to the hone, and it rang and showed up the diler, i rejected, jumped in settings, and as it turns our, i had an old version of nova launcher which wasnt compatable with art. and since it was my default launcher ,even though it fc'd android kept trying to launch it i set lg home as default and now its fine phone is lg g2
you can do what is stated above or you can wipe data using stock recovery, not needing any pc, but you will loose all your data

Go into fastboot, use the fastboot toolkit to flash them. That's what I did cause recovery was being weird. This was a while ago though. I dont have a nexus 4 anymore so I can explain how to do it in detail, i broke it and now im stuck with my dumb iphone 4s.
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.

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

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

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

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.
If you're gonna ship it and sell it. Use this software to restore stock software: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...olkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-8-0-t2015469

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.

Hi all,
I've got my old Nexus 4 Device out but the only issue is I dropped it face down on a concrete floor, The entire screen is smashed. The LCD works fine, but is unresponsive to touch. I've tried accessing it through my computer but because I have a lock on it, it won't let me access the files.
It is rooted, but I'm not 100% with as my friend did it for me. He's away at the moment so can't really help me.
I had titanium backup on it. Does this mean anything?
Also I've seen the method of people wiping the cache. However this doesn't work for me as I have a different screen appear TWRP, Team Win Recovery Project, which also requires a slide to unlock....
Is there any other possible methods of obtaining my data?
If there isn't thats not too much of a problem, and Im not too concerned about losing the data, so Im open to experimentation!
Cheers guys!
Few months back I had a similar problem with my nexus 7 . Easy way is to connect a USB hub and a mouse via OTG to unlock the device and then connect it to a computer .
Let me know if it works.

Yes, that's the OTG cable.
In my case ,I have connected a keyboard and mouse then with the mouse I have unlocked the pattern lock.
You can then take a backup with PC or a flash drive

The N4 doesn't support OTG unless you're running a kernel that supports it (stock kernel doesn't have it).
When I cracked my screen, I used adb to send tap and swipe commands. Of course, you need to to have previously enabled USB debugging...

Since you have twrp installed you can pull files using adb
In a cmd prompt
adb pull /sdcard/
You might need to install adb and drivers first, koush universal drivers work well.

Okay, so did the 15 second install, couldnt get past step 3 however. For some reason when I pressed y, it would just quit out of it.
1. Run it (Require administrator privileges)
2. Press Y/Yes to install ADB and Fastboot or N/No to skip
3. Press Y/Yes to install ADB system-wide or N/No for current user only
4. Press Y/Yes to install Drivers or N/No to skip
5. Continue Driver installation
6. 15 seconds passed - finished!
But Im assuming its done? I booted my phone into recovery mode, and it comes up with the TWRP screen. I've plugged it in. Now do I just go into cmd and literally type in 'adb pull /sdcard/'?
Or is there added extras in there?
Cheers,
So I tried it out, but I don't think anything happened. How do I tell?
I ran that command, and it just gave me a huge message, I read through a bit of it, and I recognised the device commands, but not sure what message I should be receiving?
Cheers,
If you get a big message with all the adb options then I think you must be typing the command slightly wrong. The output should be a list of your files as they transfer.
If you run the command right but the driver or something else is wrong you'll get an error message eg. no device or device offline.
