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,

Buy an otg cable and memory stick.
Download a rom for your device from xda.
Transfer it to the memory stick and flash it through TWRP

I followed this thread last night to get back to stock recovery & stock rom for my Verizon VS980. I used the ROM KDZ method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
And follow this to get to download mode - please wait for the drivers to finish loading on your PC before you use the LG Flash Tool
http://android.sc/how-to-enter-download-mode-on-lg-g2-step-by-step-guide/
Also, in my case once the flashing to stock ROM started, I got a dialog box asking me whether I want to stop the flashing. I ignored it until the flash got to 100% (indicated both on the device and the PC) and the device rebooted.
Good Luck!
Can't get the drivers to install once in download mode on phone

Thanks for the guide. I've tried it once and cannot get the drivers to install once I have the phone in download mode. I installed the Verizon drivers like it says in step #2, but in step #5 it will not install them correctly.
Any ideas? It says that the LGE AndroidNet for VZW USB Modem failed to install on the computer. All of the other drivers installed correctly. The phone is still in the "Firmware Update" screen with 0% progress.
Thanks again for the guide

Sorry to hear that. I guess give it another shot on a different machine? For reference, I did this on a Windows 8.1 laptop.
Good luck!
The bad thing is I only have access to windows 7 machines.

Your computer does not need to see it.
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.

Ps
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.

OK going to try it. Forgive me but an ORG cable is just the standard micro usb cable right?

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

Ok on my computer now.
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.
Oh. It make take me a couple of days to find one of them. I'll look tomorrow.
Thank you so much for your help.

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?
thanks again,

Titanium backup doesn't backup up full Roms it only backups apps that's why it doesn't show up you have to backup through recovery

If you flashed cm11 it won't work blame cm because they haven't updated it for the new ota update and its been out like 3 months try a ROM called Mahdi ROM I know I sound like a broken record but its the most stable ROM we have right now and it works with the new update its in the g2 android development download ROM and the vs980 patch and it will work

Ok it and the other ROM I flashed must've both been bad. I flashed a G3 rom and it is working pretty good.
Now, my next question is, how and where do I get a stock firmware to flash?
Go to lg g2 forum!are you trying to go stock unrooted?
vs98010b stock rooted
No I was trying to actually get a room flashed. They ended up being bad roms. Got a rom flashed and was excellent.
Thanks!

Hi - I have had my Nexus for several months and its been great, using nightlies from CM and nothing too exotic.
Anyway - the latest nightly completely messed up my phone, can't make calls etc, so I tried to flash it back to a stable release - the problems were still there.
Then I tried another CM - and I entered the CM symbol on loop - so I knew something was wrong.
So I try for the complete factory image reinstall, I wipe EVERYTHING from the phone so all I have now is a blank phone.
So I can get into bootloader - I can get into recovery - but I can't do anything as there are no files on the phone (so recovery doesn't help).
I downloaded the Google Nexus 4 Toolkit - and when I try and connect the phone via USB - it can't even locate it - the program says "Waiting for device".
I'm a bit lost here lads! Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
I'm not sure but similar thing happened to me with my S3, I was bricked for days, something I tried was UNrooting the device, completely wiping it clean with stock firmware and doing few other specific things for my device, maybe try flashing a stock Rom to get it alive again and once your into your device then you can flash whatever else you want, another good thing to do is always make a backup of your rom Inc efs files, but try this now you may be able to get the stock firmware from here or online, hope it helps

I had the same issue I installed the latest Samsung drivers onto the pc still had no joy and I'm sure I found a stock firmware from a site saved it to my external card n tried flashing it via recovery, it was ok after that, mine was an md5 file, try that also if it doesn't work with the drives, try using Odin, hopefully it should work, sorry I can't be more precise as my experience was with a different device, hopefully you'll get it working, gather as much information you can about unbricking, there's some videos on YouTube you may find one for your same device

Unfortunately I believe your Odin is Samsung specific.
I think Im in a bit of trouble as I cant even use any PC based solutions given the phone is connected to the PC by USB and I have bootloader menu up.
Definitely going to need some help.
Definitely check out YouTube and xda threads there could be a solution out there already, make sure u have the correct gapps for the desired Rom also, good luck, sorry I couldn't be more helpful

If you're using the tool kit there is an option to install the drivers. That should be the first thing you do. Try a different cable or port or PC until you get the right combination and fastboot sees the device. Good luck

You should be in fastboot mode while you're trying to install the drivers, but follow the instructions in the toolkit. It's pretty much idiot proof.

I ended up searching for the drivers when I downloading the SDK from Google - seemed to recognize the Fastboot set up.
Then I followed these instructions to flash stock 4.3 on.

Guys I need your help.
I have Nexus 4 16GB pre owned. Bought it with Cyanogenmod 10.2 installed already and rooted. Then CM11 nightlies came and I installed it OTA but it seems that it has a lot of bugs so I rolled back to CM10. When I rolled back and rebooted, it does not come up (Google and Cyanogenmod logo only). I rebooted it to bootload mode, then recovery (TWRP) and accidentally wiped out everything including ROM/OS. I don't have that much knowledge in restoring my phone. I tried connecting it to PC (WinXP) and it does not recognize the device. Tried everything posted in different forums on how to connect my device to PC but to no avail. Cannot do USB debugging thing 'cause I can only utilize device's recovery mode (TWRP). I'm thinking now on having this device repaired by cellphone repair shop just to install OS.Anyone can help? Other forums look like too technical for me. Noob here, really.

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!

When I try to go into download mode to flash the correct kdz file in flash tool to reset the entire thing back to stock it stays on the screen that says download mode and has the blue dots. And when I try to run the program through windows and the flash tool it tells me that the phone isn't connected to the PC. Can anybody please help me?

Of you search up stock ROM for the lg g2 you should find something that has d801 stock firmware you would see d8010c or something like that find it and read up on it.

Ok I am installing them now. Should I try to connect in download mode and then use the flash tool? Or do I need to go in another direction?

If your using windows make sure you run terminal from with ABD shell folder or it won't give you the ABD commnads.
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem please help!!!
someone help please, me too have the same issue please.
Just boot into twrp and select install zip from sideload. Connect the phone to pc. Go to your adb folder and type
adb sideload .zip*(for example:adb sideload update.zip)
Be patient, you got to wait until adb has copied your zip to the phone. Then the actual flashing will start. So leave the phone untouched for like 15minutes and wait till it's done.
This way you can flash the phone in a working state and then kdz again.
Don't forget to wipe all before flashing and factory reset afterwards.

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 is nothing is working just use LG Flash tool to go to stock because to be honest if adb and recovery mode are not working thats you last option you have.

Here ya go buddy.. This is the easiest way.. Flashtool

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.
