So, short of it is I installed TWRP using freegee, which worked correctly. I had a rom on my storage, and did a wipe twice, but now the rom I had on the SD isn't there anymore and not sure what I should do. I search to figure out how to mount or side load the rom on the SD again, but not sure. Any ideas?
My last resort is to go to Best Buy where I bought the phone the other day and just say my phone is stuck on the LG logo and not sure why, it is possible to swap out phones, and hope they let me?
If I get an OTG UBS cable, and put the file on a external USB or USB sd card reader, will that work?

Did you not create a backup before flashing?
Backup was deleted too, or else I would have used it.
Ok since you mess up ! And dont know how to use adb. I suggest you use LG Flash Tool to go back to factory stock so you can go back to stock. And Noooooo returning the phone when it's rooted won't work you have alvery void your warranty by doing that they won't take the phone like that since they can just check if the phone was being rooted and there is no way right now to remove the counter.

Well I tried to ADB via adb sideload, but it didn't work? It said it was starting sideload features, but nothing happens. I tired to use ADB push, but the device was not recognized. Any suggestions there?
So, is there a link to using the LG Flash tool? Thanks
Did you set up adb in the computer? Do you have the drivers for it? If yes check the cable or the computer usb port is the problem.

Well I would think ADB flash tool should work if I was able to root via command prompt. I know I had the drivers installed. I will try a different usb cable, and usb port. On a side note if I get an OTG cable and use a SD card with a usb reader will I be able to use that to just flash a rom?
With adb, I click adb sideload, and then let in starting sideload features mode in the fastboot folder I open command prompt and type adb push rom.zip with rom.zip being the new rom i want to install, right? But, when I tried that nothing really happens.
This one is specific for Verizon, if you have the Verizon model since you never specified. Try this or the other one posted. And also read up a little more you seem a tad on the short end lol ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
Yeah that is the one I am reading as I have the Verizon model. And short end how so?
It worked correctly and I feel relieved. Thank you all. I just re-rooted and installed CWM touch via command prompt and it all worked correctly. Now I am just waiting to download another rom and see how that turns out. Again Thank you all.

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

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

Download and unzip Shabby's OneClickRoot

I tried this, along with everything else, and my phone is still stuck in a boot loop. I cannot enter download mode. I was rooted with custom recovery, but i could never get the recovery to work. I tried to update to the OTA (i know, i know) and it killed the phone. Now when I connect it nothing happens other than a bunch of drive popups asking if i want to format. No download or recovery mode. only the LG logo screen and then a quick flash of the "Secure booting error Error: Boot Certification Verify!" screen, and nothing else since.
The main issue is that i cannot get my phone to be recognized by the computer for any type of reflash. If I could get into download mode, I could handle it from there. I hope I don't have to buy a new phone. Im not sure how verizon would feel about it if I took it back to them and it shows as rooted.

this worked for me, and will work for those of you who are stuck in recovery boot loop... this is caused from installing an att update on a rooted device with a custom recovery and or rom. so heads up, if your rooted and you have a custom recovery and or a custom rom, NEVER install a OTA update!!!
so folow the instructions in the link, basically while in twrp, you use the amazing terminal emulator feature to type in the foillowing command, and viola! your phone will boot into the OS!!! make sure to type it in exactly as shown , with spaces and all... good luck!

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!

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.

Ok so I have a problem and there is so much information it is really hard to track a solution down.
I have an LG G2 through Verizon. I finally decided to play with it, so I :
1) rooted it with iOroot and things went well. I decided to also try a custom rom.
2) I downloaded ROM Manager and through that I downloaded a Hellfire rom.
3) Downladed Titanium Backup and did a full back up.
4) Found the app Autorec and used that to downgrade and flashed TWRP recovery.
5) Booted into TWRP and tried to flash the Hellfire ROM. It failed.
6) Now I cannot find my back-up or
7) Get back to LG recovery. The CW11-zip doesn't work as well.
I get the LG boot screen and after about 5 seconds it says "Security Error" and powers off.
I can get back to the TWRP recovery, but with nothing to flash, I'm lost.
Should I try to sideload a recovery using ADB? Which one do I need to get?
Really lost at this point, and could use someone's help to walk me through the whole process. I know that all of it has been covered on other threads, but it gets all jumbled up when there are over 100's of pages in one thread.
I desperately need help from here. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,

If you get an OTG cable you can mount a thumb drive in twrp and flash a rom from the thumb drive. Just make sure it's formated in fat32 so that it's recognised.

Once you are up and running again never use rom manager.
Also make a nandroid backup from within Twrp. Titanium only backs up apps and their data not your rom.

No. OTG (on the go) allows you to attach other devices to the phone. Eg mouse, keyboard, etc. In this case you want to attach an external memory source. The easiest would be a cheap thumb drive or an sd reader.
Think of it as being the same as having an internal micro sd.
Twrp can mount this drive and from it you can do anything you could do from the internal sd. So if you have a rom or a backup on the drive you can flash it just as you would from the internal sd.
Hope that makes sense.
otg cables are pretty cheap (less than $5). You should be able to pick one up in any good electronic store or online.
I have a few of them but unfortunately I'm in New Zealand

So you have connected the drive to TWRP.
Go to mount - make sure usb otg is ticked.
Go to install. At the top, just below where it says select zip to install tap on storage. From there you should see USB OTG. If you select it you should be in the drive.

I want to thank you first thing for helping me. I really do appreciate it.
Ok, so I bought a usb drive that I can plug directly into my phone. I loaded a couple of ROM's along with gapps. Both are in un-extracted .zip files. I mounted my usb and installed the .zips and it said it was successful. I then wiped my Dalvic/cache and rebooted. Nothing. It goes to the LG logo, hangs for about 30 seconds, vibrates and then restarts and does this process over and over.
What did I do wrong? I downloaded the CM 11 for the LG from Verizon directly form the Cyangenmod website and still no luck. Any ideas?

Hey, so today I wanted to install a new ROM on my SM-N900 Note 3. I flashed TWRP, and rebooted. Then I booted into TWRP and opened Android File transfer on my Mac. It kept saying please connect USB device. Other parts of the system do not read the device, however TWRP says the device is charging from my Mac's USB port. I moved to my Windows computer and connected the device. Still nothing. I tried multiple USB cables both 2.0 and 3.0. Nothing works! Can someone help me? I have no OS installed! I don't want to use ODIN or download mode because I would prefer to the install the ROM I'm trying to install because it seems silly that I have recovery access but can't access the file transfer.

MTP doesn't work with TWRP. You'll have to use adb and push the zip to your internal storage. Then flash it through TWRP.
There are many guides on how to do this, it is very simple. Good luck
Edit- i see you're using a mac, not sure if adb works on there.. never tried myself.. always installed linux on any apple product i've owned
I haven't researched it so it might work straight away, but if not just create a vm with xp, ubuntu or something and use adb through there

That's strange, I'm pretty sure my old Nexus 7 could do this. Oh well.
Code:
adb devices
does not work. It doesn't show the device in recovery. File transfer and ADB only work while the OS is booted up.

There's a button in TWRP called disable MTP or enable MTP. It has no effect. I cannot find any sign of a ADB button.

Nope. Not working. Started ADB sideload from TWRP and tried to push in a random zip from my computer (about 2 mb). it said error: device not found.
bump
Someone can clarify this?
