LG G2 Verizon Wireless, locked bootloader
I was trying to wipe my data through TWRP for G2, when it crashed. Not able to boot into recovery, and when putting the phone in download mode, the Windows Flash Tool (UpTestEx) does not give any errors, but the phone doesn't seem to do anything.
Any ideas?
Go back to stock

Make sure a custom rom you downloaded is for your phone model. Like D802 to D802 not 800 or other. Otherwise you will got brick.
Hey all! I stupidly re-flashed LG Stock KK after some issues and forgot to flash SuperSU after as one is supposed to do and I lost root and twrp(obviously). Is there anyway to regain root?? I NEED my root back! ?

I'm not sure if this is the most efficient method but the thought occurred to me. Watch the video I'm linking you to to get you back to stock 4.2.2 then root and take the OTA update.

The methods you mentioned above seem fine, but isnt restoring my nand backup(backed up on a stock rom) and flashing a stock rec, then unrooting is the simplest way?

No, using the TOT method is the simplest and quickest way. Takes all of about 5 minutes.

are you sure that is the best method for the international model?
i have the 16GB model, and the download provided in the TOT section of the guide is for the french one.
should i wait for the 16gb kdz file from my country(israel)or flash the french one(i need hebrew stock)?

If you want you can try the "Method 2" version in that thread. I've used that as well and it was very painless.

I might try it in a few days when the official 4.4.2 update gets released here.
Just so i would know, will restoring my backup(it is stock 4.2.2, i'm currently on cm11 4.4.2), flashing a stock rec and unrooting work?and if it will, will it bring back OTA?

I honestly don't know, I don't even know if there's a file you can flash that restores it to stock recovery. Using the TOT or Method 2 is essentially a file that restores it to stock ROM and stock recovery, so that's the only way I would know. But I supposed you're more than welcome to try it and see if that works.

There is this website named storagecow
http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda/LG+G2/Stock/
And it has many firmwares available for download. As long as i download it in kitkat version, is it ok that i download the open europe version?
edit:in the open europe D802, the file's name doesn't state if it is 16 or 32GB, or even kitkat.
is it safe to use it with method 2?

Just make sure you're using the correct kdz for your device, do not flash another device's kdz file. So only download the version that's your phone.

When you're ready to use the flash tool, plug your phone in while it's in download mode.

Ummmm, well it to be honest I don't know. But I wouldn't risk flashing another phone's firmware. If you'd like, click the link the guy above me posted and as that question there. People in that thread, especially @hyelton, are very helpful.

I have been on this D801 TMO LP Extreme v1.0 rom since may. I like the rom its really nice but i want to go back to a kk rom. So ii download the 20g boostack and the OptimusG3 Rom V1.4.1 rom. First i wiped....flashed firmware..then flashed optimus rom...o wss stuck in bootloop. Then i flashed the firmwear...wiped...and flashed optimus rom. At the end of that flash it says something about loki failed or something like that and i was stuck in bootloop again. So i ended up flashing 30b bootstack and extreme rom again...how do i go back to kk? Can i get some help here? What am i doing wrong?

You need to first install a KitKat baseband, install the kitKat boot stack, and then you can flash cloudy g3 KitKat.
There is an app around here that let's you change between different bootloaders. Look in the forums and I'm sure you will be able to flash it.

Well....that didn't work. I did everything you said except for flash cloudy g3. Does it only work for cloudy 3g? I tried to flash the optimus rom again with the method you told me to do. I wiped before i did it tho...was i not suppose to?
