Lg l7 bricked, need help

One of my brother's friend made "something" to my brother's phone trying to update it.
In short, he bricked the phone (p700), which is looping on boot animation.
What I tried so far:
-I used KDZ and pushed the V20A_00.kdz that has CWM 6.0.2.8, still no boot
-I tried to install a Custom Firmware got error "Status 7" telling me that the CF I wanted to install was for the p700 and my device is a "u0"
Now I'm stuck at this point, what am I doing wrong?
-I thought of pushing a valid p700 build.prop through ADB, but "su" command doesn't work.
-I thought of editing the "scriptupdater" file of the CF, first I tried with this method this time it doesn't give me "Status 7" but it aborts the installation without furher explanation
At this point I'm starting to lose hope, I really want to fix this, please, could you help me?

When I don't edit the "getprop" part of the updaterscript I get "status 7" error as expected. "This is for p700 devices. Your device is u0"
When I do edit it: "installation aborted"

I will search for it tomorrow,for now i must sleep,its 00:00 in my town,am sleepy.

You have to update your recovery with Rom Manager or flash the latest TWRP with CWM ( TWRP is an other recovery ) ! No need to edit anything !

Sometimes, the problem happens when your recovery is outdated. So, download ROM Manager and in the app you'll be able to update CWM. If it's already update, download TWRP by @tudorsbird and flash it with CWM. Your recovery will be TWRP but you won't be able to restore backups performed with CWM. If you can't boot but have a SD card, you can put TWRP on the card and flash it.
Or, you can try this ( with Fastboot ) to flash a new recovery :

TWRP fails to flash rom

I was running the CM 10.2 Stable on my LG G2. I downloaded the CM 11 snapshot and 4.4 gapps in my phone.
Then went to TWRP recovery and wiped the dalvic, cache, data and system. Then went forward to install and selected the CM11 rom and gapps zip files. The flashing starts but it fails after about 10 seconds.
Here is the log:

It looks a bit like a bad download. Did you check MD5 after downloading?

OK i found out hoe to check MD5. Yes it matches. So no error in the download.

TWRP 2.6.3.2 can't flash 4.4 ROMS. You need to update to 2.6.3.3 or 2.6.3.4 for that. You should be able to search to find a link, because I don't think there's a dedicated topic to anything above 2.6.3.2.

The thing is i am stuck at TWRP as I wiped the davic, cache, system and data. Can i install the Latest version from the TRWP recovery itself?
If YES then how can i copy the latest version files into my phone?
If NO then what should i do? I am stuck in the TWRP after all.

Do you have a backup? I would think the easiest way would be to restore and then download and flash.
Or just flash an old ROM if you have one on the phone.
I'm not too experienced otherwise, but i think download mode would work? I haven't actually used that before though.

I think you have two choices.
1. flash back the CM10.2 and start from there
2. flash new recovery image via adb then flash new firmware

Unfortunately i dont have anything other than the CM11 file in my phone's memory.
Any idea how i can copy files from my PC to phone while stuck in recovery mode?

Do you have any experience with ADB? As Votinh brought up, you can push the new recovery image over through the shell on the computer. There's tutorials for pushing a recovery through ADB on here somewhere also.

I used the adb when I first installed the custom recovery. I followed forum instructions/you tube video to do that. They require the phone to be in a working state. But as my phone now can only go to the currently installed recovery (TWRP). I am not sure how to do anything that needs to be done.
Please help me

How do I copy files to my internal storage when my phone is stuck in recovery mode? When i connect my phone to PC the PC does not recognize it.
So how can i copy any files either a new custom recovery or an older rom?

Ok i have managed to do the stuffs and can now copy files to my phone. My installed TWRP version is 2.3.6.2. I downloaded the 2.3.6.3 and tried installing it from recovery but it shows some error. Could anyone give me a file of recovery that can be used? either TWRP or CWM.
Thank you

You don't have to flash a new recovery with adb. Just find the image file for your phone then download an app called flashify. It takes less than a sec to flash then your done.

[Q] Can't flash stock rom in TWRP

I am looking help from someone who knows TWRP. My phone accidentally did an update and now it just boots into TWRP v2.6.3.2. I am new to this stuff but through learnings I have pushed the stock firmware found on this site (I am in Canada and with Telus) using adb push through command prompt. However when i go to install, it fails. I have also tried Rogers and Bell. Nothing works. I don't understand what is wrong?
What I see is:
E: storage partition '//TWRP/BACKUPS/018bf7ce0f4c6fa0' not found
Installing '/sdcard/TelusD803T10B_00.zip
Checking for MD5 file ...
Skipping MD5 check: no MD5 file found.
Verifying zip signature ...
E:Zip signature verification failed: 1
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/TelusD803T10B_00.zip
Can anyone please tell me what is going on here and what is wrong? I would really appreciate it. The phone is new and useless to me right now as is .... thank you

Did you did an OTA update while on custom ROM? have you tried other recovery? I had trouble flashing with TWRP too. Im using Philz Touch atm and it works great for me.

All I did was accept an update when prompted but didn't pay attention and when the phone rebooted it went into twrp. I had no idea what twrp was. through learning about it i got the stock roms off this website and pushed it on to the phone and tried to install but it just fails for some reason. i don't know what more i can do.

Follow the"back to stock threads" you cant accept ota's when rooted

I would follow the above comment and follow the step by step guide how to get back to stock when you accidentally got OTA when rooted. Just follow the steps carefully and you'll be fine.Good luck

Have you tried this?
Just untick Zip File Signature when prompting to flash zip.That might work

[Q] ROM .zip install

Ok so currently running a rooted VS980 on 12B with CWM 6.0.x.x non touch. I have attempted to flash both CM10.2 and a 4.4 kitkat absed rom (pa_g2-4.0-ALPHA-20131205-vs980). In both cases I get the same error,
asset failed: run_program("/system/bin/loki.sh") == 0
E: Error in /data/media/o/ (filename of rom in zip format)
(status 7)
installation aborted
My current steps are a backup of rooted 12B,
wipe/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe dalvik
format system.
I also attempted to install a GAPPS .zip to see if it was happening with all zip files, the GAPPS installed with no issues.
phone also will take a restore from CWM so at least im not bricked in the meantime
Now that that is all out of the way can anyone tell me what is happening here? Only my second rooted phone first being a droid 4 and by the time I rooted it there was a lot out in the form of auto runs and apps to take care of all the steps to root/flash roms. So my knowledge level is pretty novice on this.
UPDATE: so after my reading im coming across random issues with CWM on the LG G2. going to attempt to push ASOPA 4.4 with GAPPS after I switch to TWRP.

Get same thing on trwp

UPDATE 2:
Ok, so after following the guide below and face palming myself about a thousand times through the process, I've come to another snag..... I get all the way to the end in both options 1 and 2, then get the error below. Option 3 (GooManager) states that there is no recovery for my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2449670
[+] loki_flash 2.1
[-] loki aboot version does not match device
looked around through the thread and cannot find a definitive answer on what im doing wrong or what I may have done wrong in rooting or with already running CWM.
I want to attempt to go back to stock. Completely unrooted and start from scratch but not sure the path to take on this. I've factory reset via CWM but the phone is still rooted and the apps i removed via titanium backup are missing as well.
Is there a way to pull a stock firmware and somehow push it to the phone so that everything i have done thus far is erased? ( excuse the terminology here) like erasing and reformatting a computer's hdd and re installing windows.

Goo doesn't work either lol. Use freegee to install recovery. Will take you about 2 minutes to complete and you will be rooted and have a custom recovery installed

Thats how I got CWM onto the phone after I rooted. After all my reading though, I want to go back to stock and start all over again. I still haven't got a chance to start the proccess yet, been pouring through the thread about reverting back to stock firmware to see what issues have come up. From mwhat I can tell the issues were all related to people not fully reading the directions provided by the OP. Will update once I have attempted. FreeGee worked like a charm for getting CWM on though

Ok, so using the thread listed above i was able to revert back to 11a!!!!!!! now, onto IORoot and see if i can loki twrp 2.6.3.2 and then flash 2.6.3.3.

Status 7 error means the rom developer is still using the old update binary script.
If you flash the latest philz recovery before you install a zip untick the setting that says" don't allow old update binary" Your zips should then flash without issue.
A better solution is to use the new update binary script yourself or ask the rom developer to update it.

i would suggest to redownload the zip file and try again. maybe the zip is corrupted or something. try downloading from pc, i used to have corrupted zips sometimes when i was downloading big zip from nexus 4.
now that i saw the picture again the problem probably is that the zip you downloaded has a problem with the updater script. every zip has a script so the recovery knows what to do. try another rom or check if the rom version ytou downloaded is for nexus 4 and not for another phone

i don´t understand...
i try 2 diferent roms, and they are both for nexus 4...
i try pass the roms by usb cable
and try to download them in the phonefor both i ahve the same errors
