Hello I was going to flash a rom from stock firmware with TWRP recovery installed when I accidentally wiped the system partition as well so there is now no rom on the internal storage and i cannot boot back into the normal firmware cause it just hangs at the LG logo on startup. I tried a USB OTG device in TWRP but it is not being detected and I don't know how to use the phone in mass storage mode inside TWRP. :crying:
Help would be much appreciated!

Have you tried adb sideload? I did the same, wiped everything, system and internal , bacups and all. I managed to sideload a flashable rom, flashed it and managed to boot up. So: ADB Sideload through twrp is your answer.

Well if you do end up fixing it upgrade to TWRP 2.6.3.4 because it has OTG support!

I'm in the same boat here except I've already tried adb sideload with twrp 2.6.3.3 and it returns an error "cannot read rom.zip" I've tried 3 different zips, many combinations of renaming the zip files. My machine is set to always show file extensions. I've also tried both ways of trying to flash back to stock in download mode. One of them just hangs at BIN CRC check the other will get to 49% and error out. Any suggestions?

VS980 Verizon. I've tried Lg flashtool with "LGVS980_20130902_LGFLASHv151.dll"
and VS98010B_13.tot. on com port 41. This one hangs at BIN CRC Check for hours. Won't go any further. I've also tried the uptest method found here in the forums with the files that are in the OP. It gets to 49% and stops and tells me to retry. When I retry it will always stop at 49%\
I can get into download mode and TWRP .While in TWRP, adb recognizes my device and shows recovery next to it. When I go to adb sideload and type adb devices again it will show that I'm in sideload mode but no files will transfer. It just returns error cannot read filename.extension. I've to sideload all kinds of files with different extension types and it always returns the same thing.

I just remembered that I had a backup made from a week or 2 ago when I was using cwm recovery. Which isnt recognized in twrp. I didn't loose all of my sdcard content with all this. I was just a moron and forgot to make a twrp backup before wiping my system. And the only rom I have on my sdcard aborts about halfway through.

Ok...so I was able to adb push a file to my sdcard using "adb push filename.zip /sdcard/filename.zip. It returned the size and time it took to transfer. But adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip gives me nothing and seems as tho it may have froze up the command prompt. GRR!

I actually tried both utilities but both resulted in error. I ended up getting it with "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" . It took a really long time, I ended up just trying one last time and left it alone for about 10 mins. When I came back to it, it showed the size of file and time it took to push. I figured I'd post all of this on the off chance it may help someone who has a Custom recovery but no backup or Rom zips to flash on the device.

Man you are a life saver. Thanks for coming back and posting your solution for this problem. I had the exact same issue and after hours of trying to install different "rom.zip" files with the same "cannot read rom.zip" error, this finally worked.
I cannot stress enough, how helpful it is when someone like you finds an answer to a problem and takes the time to come back and post the solution.
Thanks again!!!

Try flashing with the app provided below, will do either a zip or a img file. Just make sure your new Recovery file has been Loki'd.

Make sure the recovery you flashed with flashify was a zip or img, make sure it was for your phones model, make sure its loki'd, or download Quickboot from the play store and tap recovery.

If you've got 3.2 installed already, if 3.3 is a zip, you should just be able to flash it. :good:
everything went fine until i typed adb reboot recovery
followed the guides on here to flash TWRP, finally got everything flashed through adb and when i went to the final step to reboot in to recovery it said "error : device not found" .... Is this normal? should i just unplug/replug and try the reboot bootloader command again? It said the image was loki verified and flashed succesfully, but when i typed in reboot recovery it said "error: device not found" any advice/help is much appreciated
Ok so I'm first going to attempt to list the process I've gone thru to describe the problem I'm having:
1. Received phone and took OTA(12B) when I got it
2. Rooted with IORoot15
3. Pushed TWRP via add... Thought I did it wrong so I reflashed it using Freegee
4. Couldn't flash any ROMs (status 7 error) so I thought I was soft bricked
5. figured out that I could flash a stock ROM so did that
6. thought problem would be solved by using CWM instead of TWRP
7. still can't flash any ROMs other than stock...
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
Oh and tried to use the Status 7 fix by removing the "assert" lines but then I just kept getting Status 6 errors.

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.

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.

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.

ENJOY!
This is my question based on his thread:
Could you please help me? Someone I bought this phone from had done this.. and I didnt know it was a custom rom so I flashed the Tmobile stock recovery KDZ thinking i could unroot and get my OTA updates. Turns out it was a sprint phone, and so the tmobile stock rom is unstable, rebooting all the time and so i cant even root now. I cant flash the TOT file from sprint because the phone now thinks its a D801 (due to the CRC check)... could you help or explain to me how I can get sprint stock rom back on this phone ? I don't know how its possible when it keeps resetting, and wont allow me to install Sprint TOT because LGFLASHTOOL says "wrong model" .. is there a way to make this phone think its a LS980 again intead of D801 in the settings... and please keep in mind it reboots every minute or minute and a half on me so if your method involves a bunch of work that i cant pull off quickly im a little it screwed... i figured there might be a way to edit the model number.. please help if you can, i just bought the phone and if its bricked i just lost a lot of money... thanks in advance

I'm going to assume he knows how since he is taking about files that's can only be flashed through the lg tool.
And that's all I would be able to recommend to you to fix it would be follow the back to stock method for our device.. Maybe abd a recovery to the phone that's all I would think to do.
Are you on sprint If so do you have insurance you can go to a sprint service center. They can advanced exchange it for you but don't tall about rooting it or flashing a tmobile firmware on it or they won't do that. Or have a buddy with sprint & insurance activate your device they can do the exchange on it is free that way.

I would assume he's on sprint since he said he flashed a T-Mobile rom & it's a sprint variant.

So firs of all U need root your device even is looking as D801 model
Download Stock Sprint rom in .zip and copy on your card if U are available
Try install TWRP recovery I was used OptimusRs Recovery flasher
If U are sucsess flash the stock rom via TWRP recovery
Let me know if I helped U :good:
Correct, you need to flash a ls980 Rom to make our device show up again as a ls980, I'm working on a flashable zip that will make it easier switching back and forth. If you need extra assistance feel free to contact me via PM and I can probably.help you out.

I'm in the same position as OP, but I have managed to flash CWM but, I still can't get it back to being ls980...
if you can get into recovery, just simply adb push or adb sideload your ls980 rom. that should allow you to use download mode as a ls980 after it returns to a ls980 build.prop

yes i do, I tried sideloading cm10 for ls980 and it side loaded but failed to install said device id does not match..and when I try sideloading stock ls980 rom it fails to side load it and gives me that error...
give me a few minutes and ill get you a stock d801 rom that will boot on your device (modified to work on our ls980) that should allow you to flash it through recovery, then get booted up to place a rom on your internal storage

this is a stock tomible rom that will work on our ls980 - this was made by justinswidebody.
flash this (just like a normal rom) reboot your phone
place your new rom on the device, flash that (just like a normal rom)
and that should return your device state back to a ls980, or you can boot into the rom change your build.prop and then use download mode.
either way should help fix your issue.
Moved out of the Development Threads....as it does not belong there...OP please read the Forum Rules on posting. Thanks.
thanks judge
I'm sideloading Optimus rom and it's stuck at 95%....I check the updater-script of this rom and it doesn't have any model id, so it should work

The rom I'm currently on reboots itself each 20secs which makes it hard to place the rom on to it...

I'm trying again today, so I got TWRP on it this time, and I sidenloaded "sprint T-mobile rom" and it flashed successful and it shows 2.2gb as space taken up the rom. But, when I reboot I get:
fastboot
udc_start()
so now what?
edit: so now I'm getting this:
[780] fast boot mode start
[830] udc_start()
[990] -reset-
[1000] -port charge-
[1090] fastboot: processing commands
Also it says:
E: Unable to find partition size for '/sb12'
E: Unable to find partition size for '/sb13'
seems it's has gotten worse than before...i think doing cache clearing after flashing the rom wasn't a good thing...
so, another update in download mode, at the bottom in red it says B96 and rooted...so what does this mean?

Just search how to back to stock rom t mobile. You flash the stock rom tmobile kdz via lg flash tool.
After flash, you ve got tmobile rom. But always crash every 30 seconds.
Root via adb, and flash twrp recovery. You have done quickly coz random boot.
After success root and flash twrp, you download stock rooted rom sprint ekstension zip.
Flash via twrp, and you back to fasboot mode, bootloop. But your g2 was sprint again.
Download rom back to stock, fill dll and tot file, flash via lg flash tool. Awesome, you be back to new handheld.
Sorry my english so bad...

Hi,
First of all, my device info:
LeEco LePro 3 x727 on the 19s firmware.
I was following the guide found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/leeco-le-pro-3-root-t3476560 to flash recovery and root my phone. Didnt realize it was for the x720 and not the x727 (stupid, I know)
Did everything in there, booted into the TWRP recovery, flashed the root file and rebooted.
Phone turns on, logo appears then shuts down.
I can't boot anymore.
I CAN boot into fastboot mode.
PC doesn't recognize my device
TWRP's sideload feature doesnt work
I'm obviously new at this, so I can't figure out a way to flash the firmware again (I guess that's what I have to do, do not know though).
What can I do?
I now flashed the correct TWRP file for my phone. works fine.
But how do I push files to the phone so I can flash them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Edit 1: Found this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/guide-unbrick-le-pro3-tested-t3622340
Should I follow that and see if it works? Will wait for confirmation first. Not gonna rush into it like the first time.
Thanks!
Yes here link to files you will need.

So I should follow the guide and use those files? Any warnings or tips about the process? And also, no other way around that problem?
Thanks!

It actually works (fastboot I mean), but now I'm at the point where I try to sideload files but at 48% it gives me an error.
I had the same troubles, many wipes and try finally it worked... The stock file is the hardest to send, because the weight is so high.

I was able to push the files using adb instead of adb sideload.
Pushed the Lineage OS and now I'm currently running that.
Thanks for the help !

Hmm, I did, maybe you missed it in the OP. I just wasnt able to push the files for some reason, had to flush the port (5037) to get it to work, and tried a lot of different adb versions until I got it to work with the mfastboot version of it.
Anyways, it's good to know there's another option in case I really brick it.
Thanks!

Okay so in the original post you said that you do have twrp installed, and you can boot into twrp recovery...right.
Go buy an OTG drive
Load your Rom, Gapps, and Magisk onto otg flash drive
In TWRP: Go to "Wipe" and then to "Advanced Wipe" (Check: Dalvik / ART Cache, System, Data, and Cache
Swipe to Wipe > then go to main menu. ( Note, if you get a Encryption message you will have to wipe the storage, as long as Twrp recovery is installed there will be no issues)
Go to Install then select OTG : Select the ROM file then click "Add more Zips" and select the Gapps and Magisk files
Swipe to confirm Flash
Reboot to system
