Help, possible brick!!!!!!!!

I am/was rooted with custom recovery. I was running stock ROM with minor tweaks (g3 notification panel, etc). I downloaded the "knock code" update that just came out for the LG G2 (AT&T), not even thinking about the root/custom recovery, and then when I went to install it, it booted into TWRP recovery. I had no idea what to do from there (it would just reboot back to recovery if I rebooted), so I wiped the system then flashed my backup. Still nothing, it still booted into recovery. So then, being the smart guy that I am, I did a complete wipe of everything (internal storage and everything), and now I'm stuck at recovery with absolutely nothing. No backups or anything.
How do I get my phone back up and running?

Try this..
What worked for me was from the TWRP terminal command was to type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
then hit enter
type
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
then hit enter and reboot.

What exactly is this supposed to do? I have absolutely nothing on my phone now- no backups or anything. I'm assuming I need to download a rom and flash it via recovery. Is it possible to get a rom on my phone if it just boots into recovery?

I thin you can ADB push a rom file to your phone, flash it in twrp, then enter those terminal commands which will allow it to boot normally

You took ota while having custom recovery ?
This will enable you to boot (if you didn't mess up another things on your system)
you may also: "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/rom.zip"
-where rom.zip is the name of your rom.

Can't figure out how to get ADB to recognize my phone. I downloaded SDK and all that. When I do "adb devices" I get "no devices found"

There's a bug in TWRP 2.7.0.0 that you can't activate ADB.
I suggest to boot into download mode (plug your phone to your computer USB while pressing volume UP key), open LG PC Suite, go to Mobile Device > Restore upgrade errors, and it will flash the latest stock firmware

[Q] Is it possible to repair my installation post official updating?

So I did a number on my phone in a half asleep stupor I allowed an official update to go through while running a custom recovery and debloated kitkat. I can't believe I did this to myself. Is there anyway to repair the installation other than wiping the phone again? It was one of those mini updates, but now I boot straight to recovery instead of the operating system.

I am in the same boat you are man. I hit update now instead of later and the phone reboot into recovery and won't boot the ROM. I tried restoring a previous backup with no luck. I'm on a rooted stock ROM running twrp 2.7. Hope someone can shed some light on this.

I found an answer!

Have you typed the two commands in TWRP
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
and
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
?

Here is the thread:
[FIX] Installed TWRP and now you're stuck after OTA?
So here is what you do:
1) Boot into recovery (TWRP)
2) Go to Advanced and then Terminal Command
3) VERY CAREFULLY TYPE IN EXACTLY THIS:
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota" then RETURN
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc" then RETURN
Reboot and it should have fixed it up for you.

LG G2 brick

I have a rooted LG G2 D802 with XPosed Framework installed.
I installed applications update from internal upgrade center app (something like 5MB).
When it rebooted it keeped going to TWRP recovery.
From recovery I tried wiping Dalvik Cache, System and Cache and then rebooting, but again it keeped going to TWRP.
Then I tried tryping the following instructions from the TWRP terminal command:
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
and
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
I rebooted and now it is stuck on LG logo.
What could I do?

Well, what's internal app center?
If you mean xposed, then do the following in TWRP:
Go into "Install"
Find and flash Xposed-Disabler. It's located here : sdcard/Android/data/de.robv.android.xpos/files/Xposed-Disabler.zip
Flash that and reboot.
If it's not caused by Xposed then there's no way out other than flashing a new rom.

Flashing stock rom with LG Flash tool did the trick.

This worked for me when it was booting straight into TWRP. While in TWRP hit Advanced, Terminal Command, Select and enter in the following two commands in the shell to get it to boot:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

Depending on the ROM you are trying to install you may need to upgrade to the latest TWRP. If you use the commands in the earlier post then backup /misc first.
If you decide to go back to stock, links are here

i wasn't able to flash nothing to stock even kdz files because the software didn't recognize the phone.
i suceeded flashing the twrp 3.0 from the old twrp
then i sent tose in the terminal of thwe new twrp
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
and it finally worked. In the terminal of the old twrp didn't work
