taking an OTA with custom recovery installed = bad for phone. I think that this might be your only hope assuming you have TWRP as your custom recovery.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696. I have not seen something similar for CWM, but guessing similar method would exist somewhere
PS - I have verizon version and have not tried this process. seems others have had success

Ok I just fixed this with CWM. Go into your device manager on your PC, you should have a yellow exclamation next to do D800. Right click that and select 'update drivers' the 'browse for drivers' and finally 'let me pick from a list of drivers'. Once you do that, in the list should be android device. Select that and then it should bring you to another list where GOOGLE is selected and ADB Test port. Select that and force that driver. Once it does that ADB shell will work in CWM! Then just follow the commands above! Reboot and rejoice!

How do I find a specific driver?

When you select let me pick from a list of drivers. there should be a Android device listed. If you want I can try to help via Team Viewer.

I never got a PM with your info lol

Did I OTA and then the phone reboot into CWM. Download mode does not work, factory reset I made a mount usb storage also does not work. Still only CWM. I have D802 verzion.

Help!
So the OTA happened and now I am stuck in CWM recovery. Cant access download mode either. feel like I have tried everything to get the device to be read for ADB no luck! ANY help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!

perhaps someone can help solve

We can confirm the fix works for CWM as well. If anyone needs help I can help via team viewer, and have you running within a few minutes!
The driver that you have to manually select is ADB Testing Interface 3.10.0.0

There is no terminal is CWM unfortunately. So you have to go through a workaround.

[Q] Sprint LG G2 Bricked by Custom Recovery

Sorry to bother everyone, but I am in a really sticky situation here. I don't know much about rooting and recovery, and have run into a real issue, so I will try to explain as best I can. I rooted my phone no problem and installed a custom recovery that didn't work at all, so I left it and forgot about it. Today, I tried to update my phone but when it rebooted I simply got the message: [830] Fastboot mode started then below it says: [830]udc_start() and will not advance. I cannot do anything with the phone when I plug it in nor can I access any of the files aw it doesn't seem to be recognized, and when I boot into recovery I just get the screen with the same message. I tried putting it into download mode, but it just said 0% and no messages about drivers or anything popped up onto my screen. I am in a real pinch here fellas, and I really hope you guys can help me out. Thank you all in advance.

Here are a few screenshots that can help you guys identify the issue. First is a screenshot of the lg support tool, which recognizes my phone as a "testmodel"
The next is an image of what happens when I try to upgrade recovery.
Also, the lg mobile support tool doesn't even have the ls980 drivers. Can anyone give me instructions on where to go from here?

Thank you everyone, the issue was fixed! After verifying the files, looks like I picked up the wrong TOT file. Had so many of them downloaded over trying to fix this I confused them . Thank you for all of the help, I truly appreciate it. I'm not sure if I am supposed to close the thread or if a moderator will do it or what the protocol is, but consider the issue resolved .

You should move this to the Q & A section. Nobody is going to help you here because this section is reserved for actual development. Just trying to help keep you from getting flamed...

I had my phone stuck in TWRP twice last night from failed Rom flashing. This is my post in another thread on how I fixed it. Try this to see if it helps, I'm not responsible if you do any more damage

ADB Sideload. Respond if you need help with it. Macs are the easiest for ADB sideloading because they don't need drivers, I could help you with a PC too but it's more annoying.

The issue with Linux is there aren't any official Google ports for the files for ADB Sideloading. Do you have access to a PC or a Mac? http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html these are the Android SDK files for Mac and Windows, I'm not quite sure if they have Linux support, but you could try. Also Wine, the program that allows you to run Windows apps on Linux or Mac will not work with this because of the way it works, so you need an actual Windows or Mac device. However, if it does support Linux I'm sure it wouldn't be any harder than it is on Windows or Mac. Also I tried using the LG Flash Tool method on various devices and it was more complicated and wouldn't work for me for whatever reason even after installing the drivers.

how would you sideload from a mac. mines stuck. in twrp i didnt even know the radio was updating. i guess my daughter pressed it. lol she was using quick memo to color. what files would i need? i tried to do all the other ways on my wifes windows pc but no go. the phone tries to update firmware when i plug it in and stays at 0.

I'll just say that the way I did it in my post worked for me twice while I was stuck in a TWRP boot loop from failed ROM flashing. Both times it worked with out a hitch to get my Sprint g2 running a tmobile rom back to stock Sprint.

LG G2 used

So I've just bought a used LG G2 D802 32GB and the rootchecker app shows me that it has been rooted. I'm trying to find a way to make it completely stock, unrooted again so that my warranty would work. I've found that I need to flash .kdz file. I tried getting into download mode(plugging in USB cable while holding volume up), but unsuccessfully. Should I do anything before flashing? Should I somehow make a backup? Do I need to install TWRP before doing that? Or maybe I already have it, I don't know Any advice would be helpful.

Verizon HTC 10 on T-Mobile

So I've spent a good hour searching these threads, and I still can't clear this up. Some people are saying the Verizon HTC 10 doesn't have band 12 at all. Others are saying it does, you just have to s-off to use it. Will my plan enable full compatibility with T-Mobile?
Here's my game plan:
Buy the HTC 10 on Craigslist
Downgrade if needed
Read this thread and hopefully figure out how to s-off with sunshine
Follow these instructions to change the CID
Download the TMUS firmware from the "No Wipe" category of this list, which I conveniently found on this forum that clearly says no CDMA devices
Leave the radios alone, since the firmware from above already contains the TMUS radios?
Reboot and cross my fingers?
Thanks everyone!

I'd just convert to us unlocked

Which RUU did you use? I got mine directly from HTC's website (2.28.617.8) and received error 158. Any tips?
Edit: Also my phone is in the update mode with the picture of the phone and a green circle.... I'm afraid to power off

Also some more info - I was on 1.85.605.9 and downgraded to 1.85.605.8. Then, I used SunShine and got S-off with unlocked bootloader. Next, I tried installing HTC's RUU, which failed.
My plan was to install twrp and supersu after getting the unlocked RUU, but now I'm just stuck.
Thanks in advance

Hey! That's the exact post I was following along! Didn't even make the connection - thanks for your help so far. Anyway, I followed your guide until the part you said to download that RUU. I'm on 1.85.605.8, and the one in your link is 1.80.617.1. I was like...ehh better not downgrade, so I used the one from HTC's website. HTC actually gave me a warning (before it died) and said make sure you're updating to an equal or higher firmware. Should I be concerned about using an older one?
Also, flash twrp and supersu before or after receiving otas?
Again, thanks so much for your help! I'm trying my best to search the forums and not ask redundant questions!

Also, use magisk instead of supersu you will be able to keep safety
Net passing, and snapchat, plus get root and all the goodies. You will need a custom kernel though

System, data, cache, internal SD....basically everything but your external SD. Once wiped, go back to the format data option. Type yes, then reboot to download mode. Run your run from there
