Soft Bricked my phone, Wiped internal memory - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was trying to flash cloudy g3, I put in all the files necessary into the phone, went to the recovery and wiped everything including internal memory.
Now I am stuck as I cant transfer anything into my phone.
PC doesn't recognize it, so I can't use adb sideload.
I can get into download mode and recovery
I tried using OTG but TWRP won't mount it.
I tried using back to stock method but since the computer doesn't recognize it, there is no way to do that.
Please help

What is the model of the phone ?.

Was at the same Situation,. Just search for some other drivers, for me the general drivers worked, not the lg ones

Just fixed the problem, for some reason the flash drive I was using was not working with otg, tried a different one and it worked,
Thanks guys

Can't get past the google loading screen after my unlock attempt.

First I want to say there is a lot of information on this site, I have about 20 tabs open right now with threads that I think could help me, but I can not seem to put everything together.
I used the tutorial on nexusshacks to try and unlock my Nexus S. I first had to figure out how to get the drivers working, which kind of work on my laptop, as in I can see the phone in my computer, but I still get errors about some driver when I plug the phone into my laptop.
But on my desktop I can't get it to do anything after the first round of driver error messages.
I have Vista on my laptop, and Win7 on my desktop.
But now that I have that out of the way, I have been looking for some Odin thing to fix my phone. But I have no idea what is what and when I think I found what I need the links don't work.
I have:
Basebond version # I9020UCKD1
Bootloader Version# I9020XXKA3
My phone locks on the Google screen with the unlocked symbol.
I want to unlock and root it so that I can put MIUI on again, like I had on my N1.
This is proving much more difficult then the N1 though.
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
When the lock icon appears the phone is unlocked. You don't need root to install MIUI. Just get cwm recovery for your device, flash it via adb, navigate into custom recovery, mount sd card, copy miui on the device, wipe everything, install miui from sd card.
Get drivers from pdanet.

ok I got drivers from pdanet, but I still can not seen the device in my computer.
I managed to get CWM recovery v3.0.2.4 on my phone and I am in it.
But now all the phone does it go into CWM recovery screen.
I can not see the phone from my computer, so can not place a zip on it to try and install from zip.
And no actual sd card means I can not just take it out and pop it into my computer
Did hou mount sdcard in mount&storage than went to mount usb storage?

[Q] EMERGENCY: Recovery doesn't mount USB!

Hello,
after trying out a few roms i wanted to go back to stock and wanted to have a completely clean device.
So i went booted to TWRP recovery and wiped everything i could (including the currently installed ROM and internal storage).
So I wanted to mount USB to copy the ROM on my device but it doesn't connect to the PC.
So I'm stuck in recovery and have no idea how to connect it.
I hear the sound of the PC recognizing a USB connection but then comes that USB error sound you hear when it fails to connect.
Please help
Of course it doesn't. Internal storage is not UMS.
Use adb to push files.
Also, if you want to go back to stock you don't use recovery. Use the bootloader and fastboot.

Can you please explain why UMS had been disabled on custom ROMs? It was so easy to transfer data to memory using UMS!

I did try to push via adb but as I said the USB didn't connect
but thanks I did go back to the thread u posted and noticed there are two links for the drivers
it seems that the 2nd one (it's the one I had installed) doesn't actually include adb drivers so my device couldn't connect
well so I installed the drivers from the first link and it's resolved thanks a lot!

No OS, using TWRP help?

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
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.

driver installation failing
Bump for help
I have a similar issue with my sprint LG-LS980 [STOCK] Rooted I've tried multiple LG drivers but my computer (windows 7) tells me that the driver installation has failed every time I plug in my phone. I am still able to transfer files with wireless storage.
I need either getting the drivers to work or flashing back to stock rom without using a usb transfer cable
what I did
Hey I had a similar problem, could only get on cwm, couldn't get adb to work after the ota.
I did what this person suggested and installed pdanet drivers on my computer and it worked great!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563527
I then went to cwm to sideload, I sideloaded twrp then did what this guy said:

Bricked d800 that thinks it's a d802

I recently used blastagators patch to use d802 ROM on my d800, I had a backup and everything on an external hard drive which I used for everything . I wanted to switch Roms and have clean install so I wiped but when I tried to use hard drive the hard drive would shut off half thru. Managed to install d802 ROM but not fully and unpatched. Tried to LGFlashTool but it wouldn't accept the D800 tot even with SuperSports's tool. My download works but not to full extent and no fastboot. My device comes out as AndroidNet. I have unbricked before but now I'm stuck and I'm not the best at Ubuntu. Any suggestions and/or instruction if anyone has gotten out of this. Thanks

Update: I've tried almost every way to fix, when I connect windows shows Androidnet as device and download mode isn't detected as anything. I really want to fix my phone and I can't seem to get answers. A directional help is greatly appreciated. I flashed a d802kdz in efforts to restore some kind of workability but flashtool stopped with a "booting error".

Have you installed Lg drivers? Also, can you provide screenshots of your errors?
