Anyone out there able to help me out? Having the worst time trying to install the drivers for the G2. I had accidentally accepted an update from Verizon, and now I am stuck in a recovery loop. No matter what I try to do, I cant get my Windows 7 machine to install the driver for it.
I am trying to follow this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476) in order to restore my phone to stock, but I cant get any where without the driver installed. I have downloaded the one from the post, the one directly off of the LG site, as well as a few others I have found around the net. My computer at first thought it was a galaxy nexus lol.
Any help is really appreciated.
Used terminal in TWRP to get the system back, but I will want to return to stock.

Just switched over to Tmobile from Sprint and before even signing into google i went ahead and tried to root my phone. Rooting was a success. Used Flashify to flash twrp recovery. Downloaded rooted stock D80110G rom and began debloating it (like I did with the Sprint version) and then booted to recovery, wiped twice, flashed and reboot. Well, now it will just keep rebooting back to recovery and thats it!
I still have access to download mode
still have access to custom recovery
Did not do a nand backup unfortunately
cant mount in twrp because computer no longer recognizes phone!
shows up under unknown devices as LG D801
Tried the stock recovery using LG Flash tool posted in generals but ran into the "can not update because of your device policy" or something like that. Reinstalled and tried it again many times, even switching languages and countries (the last step)
Tried using the ubuntu method posted by partager.info but even ubuntu does not recognize the device. Matter of fact nothing even happens when i plug the phone in.
Tried reinstalling drivers, tried on 2 different laptops (one windows 8.1, one windows 7, and an ubuntu usb boot) and my desktop computer (windows 8.1) and am just unable to mount using twrp because none of them recognizes it!
tried using the adb sideload but twrp just stays trying to load adb sideload forever and adb terminal cant even find the connected usb device.
Tried factory reset but that just takes me to twrp.
I've redownloaded the rooted stock rom and left everything as is. I'm assuming I just need to get it onto the phone somehow so I can flash it.
I have an otg cable but not quite sure how to work it wit twrp or if that's even an option; I've just purchased it.
I feel like I've exhausted my options. Anything else I can try?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Should've just used Titanium to debloat instead of trying to do a fresh install! I know I know
Figured it out! not sure how to delete this thread now

Hey sorry, I haven't been on the site for a couple days.
I used the flashtool to go back to stock. Had to enter download mode and work from there. The big issue I was having was a driver issue. Uninstalled every driver related to android and then reinstalled after a restart and that did the trick. For some reason android phones are giving me a lot of driver issues on windows 8.1
follow these steps here but make sure you read a chunk of the thread as the steps in the main post are not complete

Hello everyone I need some help with my G2 its the rogers D803, First off I'm kinda a noob when it comes to flashing roms, this is my third G2 I've owned, i bought it off kijiji and its been nothing but trouble, my LTE wouldn't work and I couldn't update it to 4.4, The ota wouldn't work cause the device was not resisted. I tried to update with the LG support tool, when i would connect the device it would say update found then all of a sudden it would say your device is up to date. So i decided I would root it and flash a custom rom. I used TWRP a flashed Mahdi Rom and it worked great. Now here is where I messed up, I decided to try another rom, went into recovery and did my wipe but i accidentally wiped the system along with all the roms and zips I had on the internal storage. now its stuck i n a boot loop, I'm still able to get into twrp and also can get into download mode. my problem is I'm unable to mount the device to get my roms or even my backup folder back onto the device. when i plug the phone in i cant get the drivers to install , ive tried using ADB but my device doesn't show up on there. it does show up on the lg support tool when i put it into download mode. If anyone can help me out it would be much much appreciated. sorry for the wall of text but I'm trying to give as much details as possible.

It was getting stuck on the Lg logo but i was still able to boot into twrp. but good news I just figured it out. I downloaded Koush universal adb driver and was able to sideload a new rom.
We'll I put myself in quite a predicament.
I was running off of KitKat, rooted and running off of TWRP using the TowelRoot method.
Received the update from Tmobile while I was on the phone today and wasn't paying attention and just hit install. Phone rebooted and will not leave TWRP.
Read the post with the recovery methods.
Can access phone via adb and push files.
Installed flash tool 2014 and chose correct phone model. Upon lauching the firmware update utitlity it says the phone isn't connected. I am using the lg Sooner driver. Initially the driver would not get fully installed. Manually chose the Sooner driver after trying the Android ADB one from Device Manager. Was that the correct one?
Next I tried the Tot method.
Followed steps, phone sits in download mode and does nothing.
Any help you wizards can give would be great. Sitting here with about 60% battery worried that I'm sitting here with a $500 brick.
Thanks guys.
Don't respond to anything yet. I may have made some progress!
Good luck.
Hey guys, it's 4am where I live and I'm becoming desperate now... Hope someone find a solution for my problem and is willing to help me.
I was using the latest CM12 nightly on my new d805 and decided to try the new CloudyG2 3.1. I was told the easiest way to do this is flashing a Lollipop bootstack (which I found here https://github.com/lg-devs/bootstack...master/d802/lp) followed by the Cloudy ROM itself.
I did it through TWRP, and then things started to cramble. On reboot the LG logo briefly appeared followed by a black screen. I've found this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2432476, downloaded the appropriated .kdz but my device isn't recognized by my PC. I've tried reinstalling the drivers and using the universal ones, but my computer just doesn't care about the phone being connected or not.
I tried to start sideload on TWRP so I could push a CM12 .zip back to the phone, but the sideload doesn't start, so I essentially can't send any file to the phone. Is there any hope for me? I'd be so happy if someone gave me a solution for this... I really can't afford to buy another phone right now and this is my only method of contact with some relatives.
Huge thanks in advance, this community rocks.

If you can go in recovery mode you could use the usb-otg to flash a rom and reboot the phone

So I need a specific cable to do this? Is this the only way?
You need a normal usb-otg that can find in every electronics shop
So I've been working on this thing for a while but maybe it's because I'm new to this whole there are a few issues I'm having in getting it restored.
Here's the story. I purchased a bricked LG G2 D800 (I fix phones so it's not my own personal phone). It goes to the LG logo when you boot and stays there. I don't know what firmware is on it. It does however have CWM and I can connect to it via ADB but I'll list my issues there below. It does also have download mode but my computer won't recognize it the phone when it's plugged in.
CWM:
OK, some of the issues I'm having here but just be because I'm still nooby and it's hard as hell finding a complete guide to this stuff for noobs.
Anyhoo, I have:
1) Gone into sideload to install the stock zip files; however, no matter what I do, ADB "cannot read <zip.file>". I've re-zip, tried a different zip, renamed the zip, tried a different zip, rebooted. I'm out of ideas there.
2) I tried pushing the zip and install from CWM. That didn't work either.
If the thought "why are you trying to go back to stock via adb" pops into your head and YOU actually know what you're talking about, it's probably because I don't.
DL Mode:
*Comp won't recognize
*Can I even do anything here if I never authorized USB bugging?
I'm kinda lost on what to do here. I know most methods of restoring back to stock are pretty simple but since I haven't been able to get DL mode to work or get that zip file to work in sideload, I'm kinda out of ideas.
Oh, another issue I've been having: WHERE THE HELL IS THE KDZ?? I have not been able to locate the KDZ for the d800 anywhere on the interwebs. Every link I've found takes me either to the cowshare place or elsewhere but everyone has only had the .zip file... and since I have no idea what the different is between the kdz and the .zip (I did spend some time researching that one but to no avail), I'm not sure if that's a problem or how to fix it.
Another idea I had that I haven't tried yet is flashing a bootloader. IIRC from when my VS980 was stuck after trying to install Cyanogenmod, a bootloader was the fix. However, since I don't know what software is on here, I think I can just cycle through a few until something works?
Anyhoo, any suggestions would be totally welcome here.
