[Q] restoring backup to bricked phone - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so I totally bricked my stock rooted g2. I was messing with recovery and completely wiped everything including internal storage, now it wont boot but I can still get into twrp. I have my backup stored on my computer, but how do I get it back onto my internal storage so I can restore it with recovery? I tried adb sideload but nothing worked. is there a way to browse my computer through usb and copy it over? or I could temporarily install a rom just to get the backup back onto internal storage then restore it, but I cant figure that out either. I can get into download mode, but googling couldn't figure it out. I thought I could use fastboot command to wipe and install, but I cant figure how to get into fastboot mode. any ideas without having to flash stock and start over?

Cannot access recovery

I really hope someone can help me out. I think I bricked my phone.
I tried to recover my phone back to stock with stock recovery so I can send it in for repair. When I installed 2.3.4 OTA update through zip, I accidentally clicked yes for updating 2.3.6. I didn't know, went to washroom and my phone won't boot. I thought no worries I'll install the zip again. Going into recovery, there's an android picture with an exclamation mark. I can't boot into phone and cannot load recovery. Someone please help >_<
download CWM and try to flash it through fastboot, and use that to flash a new img. im assuming you've done this before, having a custom recovery before now. if not, make sure you have fastboot setup, and if you don't go look through a rooting guide how to set it up then once you have it set up, move the new recovery you downloaded to the same folder as fastboot, then type
fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery
of course replace the name_of_recovery with the exact filename of the recovery you downloaded. you can get the ClockworkMod recovery I think at www.clockworkmod.com
then boot into the new recovery and go to Mounts and Storage and Mount USB, and take the update.zip that you have and load it onto your SD Card, then go into the recovery and do as you would to flash the zip
Problem is, I don't think usb debugged was enabled. I tried to lock bootloader so I can just take it back to my carrier and say phone is screwed up, but when I tried, it said device not found.
The only way I think is using odin.

[Q] VZW G2 stuck in TWRP

So I installed TWRP on a new rooted G2 and now I'm stuck in TWRP with no ROM to flash. I can't boot into Bootloader mode- selecting that options just boots me back into TWRP.
I tried ADB Sideload from the advanced menu but that doesn't work either.
Is my only option to get some kind of external usb storage with a ROM on it and try to install from there?
I also tried holding Vol up and Down and plugging in USB cable from the powered off state and all it did was take me into TWRP again.
Not sure if this helps, but I made an error screwing around with build.prop and ended up in a bootloop. Was able to boot into recovery (cwm and not twrp) And And sideload wasn't working either for some reason. I did manage to adb push Clean Rom and install from zip, which saved me... so maybe adb push is worth a shot if sideload isn't working

No backup to restore? You may have to get an external connection/sd with a ROM already loaded on it.

(Help) LG G2 cracked screen/soft brick

Bottom half of the screen is cracked which makes it very difficult to " swipe to" do anything in TWRP. I locked my device and was unable to unlock with backup pin because the keyboard does not function properly. So I rebooted into recovery and accidentally wiped Calvin Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage and Cache. Rebooted phone and it's stuck in a boot loop. I tried using adb but I could not get it to swipe into adb sideload. I found that connecting the phone to my PC does open up /SDCARD/TWRP but there are no other folders in /SDCARD. I moved a ROM from my PC to the TWRP folder and was able to flash it but got stuck in boot loop. Tried flashing a different ROM and it shows a new loading screen but still stuck in boot loop. No other folders are being created to SDCARD.. Haven't had this pphone for more than a week.... Was thinking I could maybe flash a non touch TWRP or CWM to avoid having to swipe to get things done and use the hardware keys.. but why is it being stuck in boot loop after it says it successfully flashed the ROM.
I did flash the 30b file it says to flash prior to flashing the 2 custom lollipop ROMs in the tmo dev forum. Any help, links, advise would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I think I've bricked my device Nexus. No OS and won't boot into Recovery.

I didn't know what I was doing using the TWRP and I've formatted the entire device. Including my SDCard where my Roms and Backups were stored. So now my nexus is without an OS. This generally wouldn't be a problem since I can 'mount' the device in recovery mode and transfer a new Rom .zip to my sdcard and then flash it, however... now my phone won't go into recovery either. When I get in the Fastboot, select Recovery and hit Power, it shows the Google logo and just freezes. For good. So I'm unable to get into Recovery.
(Side note: for whatever reason, I haven't been able to get into Recovery using this method for a VERY long time. I end up having to use Rom Manager to get into Recovery, and it went into recovery every time doing that.)
Any help, please?

SM-G935F stuck on samsung logo after twrp - way to go back?

So I flashed twrp-3.1.1 using odin3.
I am able to boot into twrp, but cannot start the system (stuck on samsung logo)
I read that I should format data partition.
My question is - can I go back to stock bootloader and recover my data or am I lost here?
[edit] or is there any other way to access my files that are on the phone (and not on sd-card)?

You can try flashing the recovery.img from youe firmware.tar.md5, just extract it and put in on your phone (mtp is enabled in twrp so you can see your files)

Thank you, that was good way to go.
Now after flashing the AP and BL files I managed to start the system. But the system is slow and unusable now, I keep getting
- "com.sec.epdg has stopped"
- "IMS Service has stopped"
I see that data is there. Is there a good way to fix this?
I think you have to flash system.img.
You won't loose any data

You can access your files from TWRP
You said you are able boot into twrp.
Now connect a usb cable to your computer and you have full access to internal and external storage from the computer.
And you can use the file explorer in twrp
(TWRP --> Advanced Options)

Well, not anymore - I went back to stock firmware and I am trying to fix phone behaviour.
I got the same problem, but before flashing the TRWP i accidentialy mounted my internal storage and forgot to unmount it, i am now unable to acces the internal storage or unmount it, the boot also sucks on samsung logo.
I also flashed magisk and amsung antiroot removal, but boot still stucks at the samsung logo.
Can i just flash the original recovery via odin, and try to unmount the internal storage again? Pls help

So, do you have any important data on the phone ?
And can you access TWRP ?
