Wrong device forum but I'll try to help you anyway... Couple questions first... Have you rooted the phone? Have you installed a custom recovery partition?

sorry i am a little new to forums. yes my phone is rooted and i dont believe i downloaded a custom recovery partiton. to be honest im not to sure what that is... thanks for trying to help buddy.
Ok... By your answers then I know you kinda screwed, but not quite dead... what happens exactly is that you removed the main launcher, the interface between you and the device... if you say that it reboots, not much we can do here be cause we may push a launcher APK to /system/app (generally, there is where the "system apps" are located) and see if phone lives again, but as it is rebooting not sure if it can be done... Have critical info in the phone? If not, you can restore it to factory state!
Here is a external guide to restore the device back to factory state: http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-downgrade-lg-optimus-c-back-to-stock.html
Additionally, you can check some other info in this post (not quite your case but sometimes other problems have some clues to resolve main problem): http://www.cricketusers.com/cricket...tboot-mode-started-udc_start-3.html#post12007
Keep us posted!

There is one last option... Researching...
---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------
Damn, no fastboot mode (at least you can't boot into it)...
Anyways, there is nothing worst than haven't tried at all... Do you have the Android SDK installed? Check http://developer.android.com and install the SDK; also download a custom recovery from here: http://unleashedprepaids.com/media/MS690/recovery.img... Once done that, remove battery from phone, replace it, in a command prompt (or terminal if using Linux), write this command "adb shell", just write it, don't press enter yet. Connect the phone to the PC and turn the phone on, while booting, press enter to the command and follow the guide here: http://playfuldroidz.com/wiki/index.php?title=CM74OC#How_to_Install_ClockworkMod_Recovery: as fast as you can (copy/paste preferably)... if everything went well, now you have a custom recovery and you can backup the mess the phone is at right now (BACKUP, really, do it)... download and install any new custom rom and you are good to go...
Let me know how it went...
thanks so much havent tried yet but that route sounds like it might work. i am a little confused in some areas but after i read it over and over i will comprehend it a little more. i will follow step by step and let you know how it turned out. again thanks buddy. you brought some light into this dark matter.
The worst case scenario is using the KDZ updater.You can google all info on that
I wonder what happened to this guy...

Are you bootloader unlocked,?
Did you make sure you have ADB AndroidDebuggingBridge enabled?
---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 PM ----------
Also, first send cmd
Code:
fastboot devices
and make sure it recognizes your phone. It will return your phone serial number if it does

People with the same problem will be grateful for the solution, even if its because you missed a step. Google indexes this forum quite quickly, so they will end up here. Could you share your solution so that others can benefit from your problem resolution.

Wrong Gapps version was the solution for me. Was really weird. Also don't try to install fm radio manually. That was the original cause.
HAS BEEN FIXED...
I have TWRP recovery, and wiped EVERYTHING before trying to install the Rom, never had a phone that didn't really have a MicroSD, and I guess I wiped the internal memory also... meaning I have no rom to flash...
"adb devices" is not recognizing the phone so I can't Push/Sideload...
I can boot into recovery, but can't do much else without being able to use adb
HELP... any suggestions.

I see the mount button, but when I go in there I dont see anything about usb storage?
Am I missing something?
install the driver on your computer again and try ADB...
if not...gluck man I dont think there is another way.

No. Sorry, I believe it is just Cwm that allows usb storage in recovery.(I could be wrong) As stated above, install the drivers to try to fix adb if that fails then you may need to take a look at this. Good Luck:good:

I tried that "[Guide] Unroot/Unbrick - flash official factory firmware with LG Launcher"
It seems to see the phone, and all, but when it goes to download the firmware from LG, it just hangs, reading the posts there, looks like others have it hang at the same place mine did...
I think I am just SOL, till someone figures out how to make a tool that will fix this...
I am sure I am not the only one that will accidently wipe everything leaving it in a state where you don't have a rom to flash back on it...
so I am sure someone will make something soon...
till then will just have to go back to my old phone.
Thanks.
I would assume you need to try to get fastboot working, but I have never tried to get into the G2's bootloader. But you'll get ADB - Fastboot working, you will, you just need to keep trying. Try someone else's computer if you have to.
I really need to just find the kdz firmware for the Sprint LG G2... I think I have a way of flashing it... just need to find it...
I have found about every G2 except the Sprint one...

I found it herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 and am in the exact same boat as you. I was about to flash a recovery I made and accidentally wiped EVERYTHING including my recovery image. I'm downloading the Sprint kdz as we speak and please let me know what else you are thinking as a way of flashing that file. I can get into TWRP, stock hard reset mode (which doesn't seem to do anything) and download mode.

You are looking at doing the same thing I am going to try, but when I went to where you download... the only Sprint image I see is a .zip... not a .kdz... and that program they use only recognizes .kdz's...
In reading that feed, they said that in the US they don't use .kdz's... so still looking into that, I have a post in that thread and maybe we can get more help...
But your in the EXACT spot I am in, I can get into TWRP, hard reset, and download
If you can figure it out PLEASE post here, and I will be doing the same, I am sure there will be a lot of people doing what we did without thinking, and I guess we were the first, and will be the leaders... LOL

well ****. I'm going to try the method listed in that thread but I don't know if it's going to work. Nothing seems to identify my phone properly. The LG mobile support tool recognizes it as "testdevice" and when I try updating recovey through the program it hangs once it says "downloading files". I'll post anything I can find as soon as I find anything. Please do the same. I just bought this phone yesterday and already managed to f it up.

Mine does the same with the hanging in "downloading files" I sort of think they might not actually have the file up for Sprint yet... I think its just to new... I bought mine 2 days ago also, just long enough to say, what a cool phone, let me BRICK IT... LOL
Will keep you posted on anything I find...
thanks again.

I got adb to recognize my device as "02f1a913c6922256" but it says it's offline. if I can get it online somehow you think i could sideload a zip?
Also where do I get the "LGE Android MTP Device" drivers? They say failed and I'v tied the newest available drivers package. Or iss this just an error cause of the state of the phone?

You should be able to, as long as you can get adb to see it, you are good, you can even just adb push a rom over to the "NON" SDCard... and then just flash from TWRP...
The main problem we have is that without a SDCard that you can take out and put a rom on, we are stuck.

you have to extract the megalock.dll from its archive and overwrite the existing one in the LG flash tool directory. Then launch the program.

Just read the info in the links - thanks for posting about your success. Good to know there's a way out if I get into the same situation flashing a ROM on my G2.
Does anyone know the system.prop to disable the high volume warning? I see in this Magisk Module that it modifies
Code:
audio.safemedia.bypass=true
but that doesn't seem to work on Samsung firmware. I remember finding the alternative setting somewhere, but I had to flash stock firmware and lost it, and can't seem to find it again.
By the time you are using Magisk instead of SuperSu just download the module ... If you want to do it by yourself just download BuildCrop from PlayStore, find the line,change it and you are done !

I do have the module, but it doesn't work (other comments on the thread have noted other Samsung phones it doesn't work for). I was planning on just changing the line the module edits to the line Samsung uses. Do you know what it is?
I really don't want you to boot loop or something like that... So in... Let's say 12 hours I will provide you a way to remove that option. I may boot loop but I really don't care, I'm gonna install a new room anyways

I was just in a boot loop, and just reflashed stock rom (which is why I need this setting, cause I had it before, but lost it). Thanks for the concern, but this is the ideal time to boot loop.

Ahahaha I feel you man. But something is stared getting on my nerves !!! I don't know if it is because I'm running Android 7.0 instead of Android 6.0, but I tried editing build.prop by adding a line on it...
audio.safemedia.bypass=true
But it does not seems to be working ... I found a threat on Reddit about that but they werre based on Android 6.0 .... So I have no idea what to do (you can download an app from PlayStore or even download Xposed and download a module ...) But it is even worth it ?
