I recently attempted to flash a new rom and i accidentally wiped internal storage and i rebooted with no os so im stuck in a bootloop and i cant get to recovery. Is there any way I can get to recovery and load a rom from my pc? Thanks for suggestions.

You can get to recovery by doing hard reset volume down + power, release and hold again after lg logo.
If you have adb setup you can load a ROM, or you can do back to stock.

ADB is the same for every device. Download the android ADT bundle from Google. ADB is in the "\SDK\Platform-tools\" folder. Put a small ROM zip in there (like that barebones ROM), then shift-right click in that folder and select "Open command window here..." and type "ADB sideload romname.zip" while your phone is plugged in and in its recovery's respective sideload mode.

i followed the steps for sideload but it says device not found though i installed the lg united d801 drivers. What do i do?

Took OTA and am stuck in CWM Recovery

I have the VZW LG G2 was running a stock rooted rom with CWM recovery. Accidentally accepted the OTA this morning and now my phone constantly boots into CWM. I have wiped everything, done fresh installs of stock rom, CM11, Gummy 4.4.1, and done a restore of the stock rooted rom but still boots straight into recovery. Any help would be awesome.

So there's a Verizon OTA now as well? I thought I read it was for the AT&T variant and maybe T-Mobile.
Anyway, good luck solving your problem. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as I've also got a Verizon G2.

Yeah it showed up last night and I hit install later, which I guess it did automatically during the night. Should've just frozen Update in Rom Toolbox and not had to worry about it.
Anybody know if this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 will work for CWM 6.0.4.4??
I really can't afford to mess this phone up with a hard brick. Just switched to VZW and she told me not to root cuz I would mess it up - can't let her be right lol.
Well it looks like I cannot get into download mode either. When I press the Vol + and plug it into a computer it still boots to CWM. I also assume that debugging is turned off because I cannot send commands via terminal. Cant find any threads on here that address this issue with CWM only TWRP. I had been using TWRP for so long too I want to kick my self for switching back to CWM! Would be an easy fix if CWM had terminal
Well I finally got it to work by using a linux computer. No Windows computer would recognize the phone and I tried four different computers.
I just installed the jdk the sdk then followed the directions on this page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
I hope that this might help someone else. If all else fails just run ubuntu from cd and do it that way no drivers no problems.
thanks for all the help.

I have a better idea to repair this problem.
1- You have to install LG Phone drivers and Android.sdk
2- Download TWRP for LG G2 and paste it to platform-tools folder in android.sdk direction on your PC
3- Go to recovery and plug the phone to PC
4- Next, in your phone recovery CWM you have to choose install zip and install.zip from sideload. Then wait for install the drivers of phone on your PC.
5- Open console in folder platform-tools (shift + PPM) and type adb sideload nameofTWRPfile.zip
6- Then reboot phone
7- Next enter to another time to recovery (now will be TWRP recovery)
8- Enter advanced and terminal console
9- Choose select and type the second option from this site: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
10- Reboot phone
In my case is everything ok, but you have to remember that you can't install any OTA on custom ROM !
Sorry, but my english is not so good
thank you so much! This worked

Please help. Bricked. cant enter download mode after 4.4.2

I flashed Malladus stock 4.4.2 rom on my VS980 but wanted to try AOSP. I was watching tv when I was wiping everything to prepare the AOSP rom flash. I accidentally formatted internal storage and now I cant restore my backup file or flash any other rom i had stored on my phone or go into download mode. I think I really bricked my G2 this time. If anyone knows how to fix this please help me out thank you!

On PhilZ you can use a usb drive to flash your rom... Or if you have a less functional recovery you can just use LGflash to restart from the start.. you are far from bricked dude..

I have TWRP 2.7.0.0. Which is the only screen i can boot into at this point. I do have the LG Flash tool installed on my pc that i have used before to get out of trouble. But since i flashed the 24a bootstack and rom, now i cant get into download mode so the the flash tool does not recognize my phone. is there a different method to go about it using the lf flash tool? There is a file that i should have flashed that allows me to get back my download mode after flashing 24a bootstack, but i never flashed it and now my whole storage is wiped. I appreciate your help.

Stuck in recovery after OTA but stupidly formatted SD card...need help please!

Hi all,
I have an LG D802, was running standard ROM just rooted and with PhilZ recovery. Well I was silly and tried an OTA update, and got stuck at recovery...unfortunately I panicked, cleared everything and tried to flash another ROM but I'm still stuck at recovery.
I tried the instructions in the thread about being stuck after an OTA update but as I;ve formatted the sd partition it didn't work.
I want to go back to stock, I just have no idea how....I have ADB access though if that helps! I'm not really experienced in this kind of thing so please dumb it down for me!
Any help much appreciated!

Yes trued flashing a custom ROM, however in my haste to try and stop the OTA forcing me to recovery I may have formatted some partitions I shouldnt have.
Can I restore everything by downloading the kdz with all the correct IMG files in, converting to a flash able zip (saw a guide on here) and trying that?

Well im kinda new to the rooting thing but I believe my phone was only soft rooted. I was trying to install twrp but I got a dead android with a explanation mark or it would go to a black screen after the lg logo.i didn't know I was soft rooted when I was trying this. so after awhile I gave up. my phone still booted normally without trying to go into recovery. recently an update for android came out ( kitkat 4.4.2) so I decided to see if it would work. it restarted the phone to install the update and it got stuck in fastboot mode. i managed to find a way to install twrp using fastboot and adb. i did it but the touch screen was all funked up and i ended up wiping the system i think. just cant win. twrp wont mount the drive eiher. maybe because i have Ubuntu?

well first the reason your phone died is because of the update you did after you had broken your stock recovery, if you have twrp currently there are two things you need to do:
1)get rid of the update using this
2)adb push/sideload a rom and try to flash or try and get in download mode to restore to stock

no fastboot is only for restoring the phones stock partitions but if you use twrp sideload feature it should flash it once it's done copying it(I know that's how it works with philz)

There is now I had made one earlier today for my new N6Shamu rom which uses the LYZ28J as a base. I de-odexed it as well. While I was making the rom, I edited the kernel so it does not force encrypt. Try this flashable zip and let me know how you get on.

*EDIT* I can simply extract the .img, rename it, and drop it into the toolkit, correct?

Not sure if these two posts are related and I'm probably doing something wrong trying to apply this update. I am stock rooted with the MultiROM version of TWRP 2.8.7. When I go into ADB Sideload, ADB loses the connection so I can't sideload. I just updated to Windows 10 Pro too, so I don't know if that is related either.
These are the commands I used after I connected my phone:
adb devices (works)
adb reboot recovery (works)
In TWRP - Advanced, then ADB Sideload (works)
Swipe to Start Sideload (connection lost)
Cancel (connection restored)
Any tips or help to get this installed would be greatly appreciated.

I had the same issue. I found this somewhere and it worked:
From a command prompt (administrator):
adb devices and be sure it shows your device serial number.
adb reboot recovery
Use the Power button and Volume + button to get past the green droid with the red sign.
Unplug the usb cord from the PC and then plug it back in.
In W10, go to Device Manager.
Find your phone under Other Devices with a Yellow !.
Right click on it and choose "Update Driver Software"
Choose "Browse my computer", then "Let me pick from a list."
If you see categories, select "Android Device", then select "Android ADB Interface".
The driver will install and adb sideload should proceed with the update.
What a PITA but it worked.
