So I cracked my LG G2 screen, so I got another. I was a bit doped on medicine due to dentist appointment so now I'm all confused.
I rooted fine.
I downloaded a rom (madhi) and the correct patch, like my other phone.
When I installed the patch, it said Failed. If I boot, I get some fastboot errors so I figure the patch is corrupt.
I redownloaded the patch and was going to sideload through TWRP, but adb cannot see my device. The drivers from LG and verizon are installed, but in device manager I get error. I thought about going to stock, so when I went to download mode... again the driver error so it seems I can't do much.
Any ideas how to get around this? Whether to get that patch to my phone from my laptop or go back to stock.
I can boot into TWRP, by the way

Ok so how do I start this? Well I got an htc one for christmas and I wanted to root it. Everything was fine until I decided to flash a custom kit kat rom. The rom was stuck in a boot loop so I went back to twrp and flashed my recovery. I thought I fixed everything but then I stopped getting phone service. It kept saying looking for service. I thought it was a bad recovery so I downloaded cm from rom manager. While it was downloading, the phone just randomly rebooted. It kept doing this and still is.so then, being the idiot I am, flashed clockwork recovery to see if it would change anything. I tried downloading cm from rom manager again and finally finished downloading before it started rebooting again. I went into clockwork recovery and flashed cm and now it keeps rebooting and I have no phone service. I have no idea what to do. By switching from twrp to clockwork, I lost my recovery. Im totally screwed. I need help please!What do I do!!!!????
Run an RUU to fix and only flash roms that are made for Sprint or have Sprint support.
Sounds like you flashed a GSM rom that's why everything is jacked up.

You *have* to get your Android SDK setup properly. All the commands your run end up on "command not found" of "invalid exe" and that suggests a few things:
First -- make *sure* you install the correct SDK for your computer. If you can't find them, let us know what your computer is (32-bit, 64-bit, windows, etc.). Further, it seem possible:
1) You did not yet install the Android SDK (or ADT bundle if that's what you grab);
2) If just the SDK, you did not run the 'android' app and let it update all the platform-tools apps (that's adb, fastboot, etc);
3) You did not open a command shell in the <sdk>/platform-tools directory, or you did not add your <sdk>/tools and <sdk>/platform-tools to your path. Further:
Finally -- make sure you have your USB drivers loaded if you're using Windows.
Don't run 300 miles per hour trying to fix things -- it'll kill your phone. Relax, take a breath and get the SDK setup. That will solve most of your problems (if not all). At least that's what it looks like from afar.
Before you run any of the RUU, you should be able to type either of:
adb devices
or
fastboot devices
The latter works only when you are at the bootloader with your USB plugged in and you selected 'fastboot'; the former runs only when your phone is booted fully.
The Sprint 3.05.651.5 RUU is available here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-sprint/news/ (Install at your own risk!)
So, I have spent the last 4 hours trying to find information and trying to fix things and I have yet to get nowhere.
I tried to install SkyDragon (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2400161) on my HTC One. Having gotten an insurance replacement in the last month, I forgot that I hadn't gotten around to getting S-OFF on this replacement device. (I had S-OFF on my old one). Due to this, everything got messed up.
It was trying to boot, went to HTC screen, then tried to reboot to recovery. Clockwork mod would boot, but as soon as any graphics came on the screen, it would reboot back to the HTC screen. This looped.
I managed to flash TWRP on it, but the same thing was happening.
After using fastboot to clear the cache, I got into TWRP. Awesome. Now I just need to get a ROM on this sucker.
adb keeps telling me "adb server is out of date. killing..." In regards to this, I have gone to the Android SDK and installed the latest version. I also tried updating to the latest drivers on my computer as well.
To my understanding, you can't push whole .zip files with fastboot, but I tried to use the "fastboot update rom.zip" command, which won't work due to "archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'" and "archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'".
I tried to go into TWRP and mount the storage, but lo-and-behold it crashes and doesn't mount crap so I can't copy this rom over to flash it with TWRP.
Please. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am not the MOST android savvy, but I have tried everything I could think of. One last resort is I'm gonna try to flash clockwork and see if I can get it to mount. Please help me?
EDIT: Clockwork didn't work, and sideload won't work because "adb server is out of date. killing..."
EDIT 2: I've got an M7_UL with S-ON, HBOOT 1.44.0000. Fastboot works like a charm, adb tries to connect but fails every time.

Both of my PCs are running Windows 7.
Using my roommates computer, I downloaded the Android SDK and I am now able to adb push. Here's to hoping just pushing a ROM and booting into recovery to flash it will work.

It works now. I was able to push a stable ROM from my roommate's computer and got it running just fine. Thanks anyway!
I just got my motorola yesterday. I did quite a few things like unlocking it and rooting it..After my first initial root it worked fine but earlier today i decided to install lollipop. I was using the twrp version 2.7 to install the rom but i realised it wasnt working till i tried a few more time and it finally it. I tried back up my stock 4.4.4 room before i installed my new rom but it failed several times because i think the recovery was faulty to say the least. Anyways my lollipop worked very fine but i notice anytime i restarted the phone it took a long freaking time to restart but it was working normal as usual until i restarted my phone another time and realised i couldn't go past the bootanimation.It takes forever but i never get past it. I then decided to flash the twrp 2.8.0.1. After flashing i realised I could do a backup but it was too late. I tried a few tricks I've always used to get past the bootanimation like mounting the storage but it never shows up on my pc. I also tried side loading the rom using the adb sideload command but it never workedd.it always shows up saying "error: device not found" but when i go back to the bootloader and use the fastbootdevices command it shows up my device. IS there any recovery that will allow me to sucessfully mount my storage or sideload my rom without all this hussle?Even my the the bootloader unlock warning reboots several times before getting to the never ending bootanimation
rom:TitanPrimeROMv1.3-XT1068-69_RC1
XT1068
Rooted
TWRP 2.0.8.1
Window 8.1 64bit
I already have my mini sdk files
There's a number of guides in this subforum that goes through flashing the stock firmware for your phone. The reason you're getting bootloops is because there's currently no stable way to get root access on Lollipop for this phone, but it is being worked on.
ADB can be a bit finicky, so it'd probably be easier to have your ROM on the phone itself, whether in the data/media/ folder in Internal Storage, or on an SD card, since neither are wiped whenever you factory reset or clean your phone. TWRP 2.8.2.0 and above allows you to enable MTP mode so you can move your files straight onto or off your phone.
Actaully i managed to root my phone using chainfare's auto rode for the moto G.I just also installed twrp 2.8.0.3. Unfortunately,I dont have any rom on my phone which is bummer. Yh I do get to MTP enable my device in recovery but it never shows up on my pc.I have had issues like this before and I got it done in minutes without no problem..This is my first motorola device and I'm regretting my choice in buying this phone

Did you try manually selecting the driver is device manager?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/restore-to-stock-t2873657 This thread is your best friend. The other thing is that you'll probably need to uninstall the drivers for your phone from Hardware Manager on your OS, unplug your phone, then plug it back in when you're in recovery, and your OS should pull the right drivers to get ADB working. Still, you've got fastboot so the best option for you at the moment is to just restore your phone to stock and go from there.
As I said, though, root doesn't work on Lollipop for our phone yet, and AFAIK we don't have the kernel sources yet for Chainfire (the developer of SuperSU amongst other things) to get root access working without causing bootloops.

Huh.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47820707 This contains just the mfastboot.exe file for each OS, it /should/ work since it's essentially the same file. Just put the files in that .zip into your folder with adb and fastboot in it, and you should be good to go.

Thanks Dude, After your last message I rechecked the mfastboot-v2 folder on the thread and realised the only new file in there was the mfastboot.exe file so i quickly googled it and saw another thread in which i found the file.I downloaded it and then executed all the commands. Goshh I finally saw my phone boot up in a long time which brought a huge smile to my face.
I would like Thank all of you guys who took the time out to visit this thread and give me suggestions. THANK YOU BROS
I really appreaciate it. Happy new year
Glad to hear everything worked out for you. Happy New Year to you too.

Hey all, thanks for reading. I've caught myself in a predicament. I can solve most issues that crop up my way, but right now I'm a bit stuck. It is likely fairly simple and I am just dumb...
The huge issue here is that I am running stock lollipop for the D415 model. I am having the typical base-band and WiFi issue that a lot were having. Like most, I just booted up into TWRP and restored a backup. I Wanted to try again so I flashed the stock ROM and tried again; didn't work...oopss..
LG Flash Tool refuses to locate my device. Download mode fails to connect my device properly. Error is:
EP1/out FAIL nfo=40 pg0=ffbd880
usb_read() transaction failed
So now I am stuck with a broken stock ROM, no TWRP, and no current way to re-flash a stock ROM.
Steps taken so far:
1. Reinstall all drivers
2. Attempt to root and install TWRP to access my backups (No access to Download mode)
3. Started all over with original USB.
What can I do? Thank you again for reading my long post.
Came back to it after a few weeks and issue has been resolved. Despite error warnings fastboot operated correctly, only manually. Any script etc. that booted device into fastboot would never find the device. Simple as flashing recovery and restoring a backup.
tl;dr: I'm not very bright.

where u able to fix it? i currently have no recovery or OS it just stays at the LG screen i can only get into Download mode i tried to flash a kdz but it cant read my phone....it turns on but thats it i cant got past the LG screen and when i connect my phone now i get different device drivers than before like LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port and USB Modem....idk what to do
Okay everything started when i wanted to go back to stock after having installed CyanogenMod 12 on my VS980. Everything went well with the install but when i finally wanted to go back, i couldnt enter download mode, instead i would get fastboot mode. I looked into that and people said i only had to replace files like Laf.img, boot.img, and aboot.img through command prompt. When i did this and rebooted the phone, the lg logo came out saying "Security Error" and then bootloops. I can enter Twrp Recovery with ease but i cant go into fastboot nor Download Mode. When i connect to the computer while in Twrp though, my computer picks it up as VS980 but says it was not installed correctly. I dont know what happened and im confused on whether is Soft- Bricked or Hard- Bricked. If anyone could help me with this problem please i have a Windows computer btw, not linux, im not sure if i need a linus for this fix though
Just putting out there, everywhere i look, people always send me here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
This just doesnt work for me since i cant enter download mode.
All help is appreciated and thank you in advance.
which TWRP version do you have?
the most simple solution if you have TWRP working is to flash a rom via OTG
I'm in the same boat man. I can get into TWRP 2.8.0.1 and download mode, but I can not get my drivers to install correctly. I have the drivers in a file. I've pointed my computer at that file, rebooted computer, changed usb cables, tried sideload feature in TWRP, tried the LG flash tool. Nothing helps. God I'm so dumb for erasing internal storage. I'm so used to having an sd card and was just thinking, don't erase sd card and you're good. I rushed through it and f'd up really good.
Errors
adb devices-doesn't list device just blank space
sideload or push just yields a list of all the commands, but nothing else
when I plug phone in to computer-drivers not installed correctly. 'MTP USB failed'
flashtool-'failed previous load'
sideload function of TWRP-It just tries to load forever
terminal in TWRP-I ran a command, but then it says you are not rooted install supersu. Not matter what I choose it reboots and sticks at 'LG' screen.
My drivers worked before I wiped internal storage, so I know it's my phone. Drivers just worked to transfer xdabbeb's 2.3 over 3 minutes before I shyt the bed with it.
