[Q] I'm soft bricked. Need a SIM card reader? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My LG G2 D800 is stuck in (TWRP) recovery. I don't have a ROM backup. The rom I was going to load on my sdcard is bad. How can I get a new rom on there?
I assume if I had a phone sim reader/writer I could do it. Don't think they exist. Any ideas how to accomplish this? Thanks all!
(Cant use ADB since phone is in recovery mode)

Thanks for the help. When I go to "advanced". I start adb sideload. I then plug my usb cord into pc. I bring up a cmd prompt. when I type adb devices it doesn't find it. Is there a special driver or gif needed for sideload?
Before I bricked this I had ADB sdk working just fine.

[Q] Big issue with my Sprint LG G2 after I cleared the system

So I deleted everything in my phone, including the Rom I wanted to flash (smart, right?) and all I have is TWRP Recovery mode and Download Mode. When I put my phone into any mode, my PC does not recognize it and I therefor cannot fix it... I've tried it on three computers with downloading and updating the drivers. The first time it works after installing and updating the drivers, but when I put it in the second time it does not work. I need to unplug my phone in download mode while doing the LG program, and the computer won't recognize or find my phone. All help is greatly appreciated and thanks to repliers in advance
Day 2 of not having a phone: I can't do this xD I need to fix it somehow, if anyone can help me please do
Boot to recovery and start adb sideload mode. Then from your computer just adb sideload rom.zip
If your phone doesnt install the drivers once in sideload mode then manually search for the adb bridge driver from the android sdk and install it.

Tried that and it would say "device not found." and other error codes. One time I was able to load my device onto the computer and after it completed the CM 11 transfer it stopped. I may have to order an OTG cable or something...

[Help] stuck on twrp

I was in the middle of installing xdabbeb's rom on my vs980 and accidentally erased my sd card after installing the xdabbeb bootstack and now I cant adb sideload the rom onto my phone because my computer doesnt recognize the device when connected and I cant use the lg flash tool because the bootstack I installed removed the lg download mode. How can I fix this?

You should be able to access the device via adb while in recovery. If not you probably lack the proper drivers.
Download the appropriate drivers from the LG website (or search for "LG United Mobile Driver") and install them.
After that you should be able to access the phone via adb and then you can either adb push the rom zip or sideload one.
(If that didn't work try the drivers inside Googles Android SDK)
Thanks!!

[Q] For god sake, HELP!

Hello guys, need help.
I had a LG G2 running CloudyFa 1.2 version - g3 ported working perfectly.
But I used a lot of crap in the phone, so I decided to make a factory wipe on TWRP.
When I did it, phone restarted and now is on boot looping with Led light changing from Blue to Green, eternally.
I Tried EVERYTHING to make this thing to come back, it just don't.
Tried Terminal Commands on FOTA ans Misc (nothing).
Tried KDZ method, but the LG mobile says that my phone has the last software available and does not install anything.
I can acess TWRP and Download mode, but still, can't revive my phone.
Please, what am I suposed to do?
have you tried pushing a rom via adb???
Not yet, because I have no freaking Idea of even how to start

I saw that I would need to download Android SDK and install files, couldn't do it because I am working now.
There is a Tutorial or something here?

Try adb pusher in my sig.
If it doesn't work properly then just open cmd in the same folder where the adb is.
copy your rom to the same folder
and
"adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip"
when rom.zip is obviously your rom name.

If you can get into twrp id wait till you can use ADB go home install android SDK then run adb , boot into twrp and go into the terminal on the computer and type ADB kill-server then ADB USB it should read your phone then type ADB push the ROM you want to flash /sdcard/
couldnt have put it better than the above 2 posts...
it happened to me not so long ago and it was the only way i could get a functional rom on to the phone... takes a while but does the trick!!!

Thanks my friend.
Is that so easy to do as you said?
I never used SDK, so I am a completely noob on this.

To be honest, it seems a lot confusing to me.
I have a full backup that I did before all this sh%^#, it is in my computer.
Is it possible to send it to the phone and just flash by TWRP?
Where is your backup located ?

Hello My friend.
I am trying to use the ADB pusher you said..
But I doesn't find my phone.
I already tried ADB Sideload on TWRP, Terminal Commands and even Download mode, but the tool cannot find the phone.
is it bad?

is twrp on ?
If yes then look in device manager if there is an unknown device ( or a device without driver)

or should this be in Computer? (if yes, where in Computer?)

by LG tool he means this one
so
1. check your imei (box or anywhere)
2. http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=YOURIMEI
append your imei instead of "YOURIMEI", copy the whole link and paste it into browser..copy the received link with kdz extension into the address bar and paste it, it will download..
then proceed with the lg flash tool ^the one you download.

I Appreciate all your help, but now i am REALLY nervous.
Cannot use adb Pusher.
Downloaded the ROM as you said with the LiNK, but cannot install on the phone.
LG flash tool does not work at all
And I have no idea of how to make ADB sideload.
Now I am really worried to loose my phone for all.

[Q] D801 - Can no longer boot after bad flash

I would really appreciate some help on this one... I attempted to flash the updated Mahdi Rom (09/20 build) this morning. I'm using the latest Philz Recovery if that matters. I performed the normal wipe procedure and when I went to flash the rom it told me the file was invalid. I think I might have tried to use a zip that wasn't fully downloaded.
I didn't have any other recoveries on my phone (I know... not smart) so I need to figure out how to flash a new rom without using recovery. I'm not completely hopeless and I'm willing to do what it takes to get my phone back!
Any help would be great! Thanks.
Have you tried adb? Your phone will be called sideload when you command adb devices.

I haven't yet been able to since I don't have access to a windows PC at the moment, just a MAC. Can it be performed there?

You can load adb on Mac. I believe there's a zip somewhere on xda with only the three files need, or download the package from Android. Place it in whatever your username folder is too make life easier. Also add ./ (dot slash) before every command.
Here's the command order for my setup.
cd Android/platform-tools
./adb devices
./adb sideload **DRAG FILE INTO TERMINAL**
Thank you for your help. I got ADB to load on my mac but it won't accept the prompt to sideload. Am I missing something perhaps?
Update: I think I figured it out. The command prompt needed to be reinitiated.
Thanks again for you help! Moments like that are always a little scary!

Does it recognize sideload when you type ./adb devices? If not and you're in adb on Philz unplug/replug the charger.

system deleted, TWRP ready

Hello,
i delete the System and Data on my LeEco Le Pro3.
TWRP is installed.
Can i flash a rom with an usb flash drive in TWRP or fastboot?
greeting gizez
Boot into TWRP and use MTP to transfer ROM file from your PC to Phone. Then flash the ROM.
I have this problem, but I can't see the phone when connected to a PC. adb sideload doesn't work (adb devices doesn't find anything). Do I need to install driver for the phone? I originally used fastboot to unlock the bootloader and flashed TWRP, then installed LineageOS and gapps just fine. I then proceeded to wipe system in TWRP (I was trying to get back to new phone setup so I can transfer stuff from old phone, which I skipped the first time).
Any idea how to get around this? I tried plugging in pen drive through an micro USB OTG and a usb-c to micro usb adapter, but it's not recognized in TWRP, either. Would very much appreciate any help!
You can get your data. First try to connect phone while is in TWRP. Your phone can be detected as file manager. Try this.
If not, check my theme;

Go Advanced -> ADB Sideload, type "adb sideload aicp_zl1_n-12.1-NIGHTLY-20170516.zip" (zip of OS should be downloaded and put into "Minimal ADB and Fastboot" installation folder with name as same as the text of command). It should let you turn on system.

Also "adb push" command can be helpful. Sometimes phone is not current on adb devices list, but you can also try. As i remember, target should be /sdcard/0

Thanks, but unfortunately no luck. Both adb sideload and adb push said error - device '(null)' not found. It seems like the PC is not recognizing the phone. I checked device manager on the PC, it showed LEX727. I right-click and had it install the driver. It says driver successfully installed. Then device manager showed MTP device with a !. I again tried having driver installed, but this time it doesn't find any driver.
I'm at my wit's end... Any more suggestion?
TWRP and/or Minimal ADB isn't trouble here? Tried you both on main menu of TWRP and in ADB Sideload mode? You can also try do it trough bootloader, for this check my link and read all.

Actually, the problem is solved, by using another PC. This one showed LEX727 in windows explorer as soon as i plug in the phonr (in twrp). I was able to drag and drop the zip files to the phone and go on my merry way. Now back in business!
