I've read the forum and couldn't find one that applied to me.
Here's the background:
I'm rooted and tried to install TWRP but what happend was when i booted into recovery from GOOMANAGER, it took me to stock recovery and now I'm stuck!
I'm used to samsung and htc phones (being able to bring them back to life after soft-bricks) but this is my first LG phone and don't know what to do!
Please help or point me in the right direction. Much appreciated, thank you in advance

Hi XDA Community
Well i just need your help. I bought a Samsung Captivate Glide phone more than a year ago and now i think its time for flashing some ROM's since ICS is getting too old for me plus it is really battery and ram hungry. My phone really needs updating and i dont want to mess it through some wrong steps or process.
As i stated i am a noob and my only experience is Rooting my device with the help of XDA threads only.
I was hoping if there are people willing to help me in suggesting and flashing a good ROM (whether 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4 if any) because i was reading all the threads related to flashing and seemed kinda lost. Please can anyone help in explaining and directing me in steps (from backup to full flashing of ROM). For now i cannot afford to buy a new phone so keeping up with my buddy i927 glide.
Please Please Please, any help will be appreciated.
Simple step will be Good enough.
Thanks in advance to the XDA community.

The first thing you will want to do is get a custom recovery like TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) or CWMR (Clockwork Mod Recovery).
You can find TWRP here. It includes all of the information you need to get started using a custom recovery, and its a touch based recovery program.
If you'd prefer CWMR, you can find it here.
Now, you will need access to a computer (and ODIN) to install the first custom recovery you want to use.
Download the (newest) ODIN version (onto your computer) of TWRP or CWMR from their respective download sites, and place your phone into download mode by restarting it, and then holding the [UP] volume button when its rebooting.
Now, assuming you rooted your phone already, you should know how to use ODIN.
After ODIN completes, reboot your phone into recovery mode, and you should see that you are in the recovery that you wanted!
The next step is to get Nandroid Backup and make a backup of your phone.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ENOUGH SPACE REQUIRED TO BACKUP YOUR DEVICE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESTORE YOUR PHONE!!!
Now, you should be able to download and install a ROM, and install it via recovery.
Note: You must wipe your phone! All of it! Otherwise the ROM may not work!
For TWRP, just place the Custom ROM you want to use in either the root of your sdcard or in your ext-sdcard, and select that file in TWRP. Flash the file. If the ROM comes with custom gApps (Google Apps) as well, you need to flash them after you flash the ROM.
I have to go now, and will edit this later.
This is why I made my guide check it out in my signature!

Thank you all for your replies, it really means something to me.
Well i found the guide you all are talking about after a few days and my phone is now loaded with Android KitKat 4.4.2.
Thanks again to each and every one who replied and all the Xda community for such impressive work.
hey guys. I am kind of a noob, but i have been rooting my phone for awhile. I installed cyanogen installer and let it do all the work and i am having a difficult time getting it off because it is simply not performing well on my phone and I would like to just go back to the way it was. I have heard some complications about upgrading to 4.3 and then rooting and not being able to unroot and go back to stock samsung. Any help would be great. Odin has been failing and I just feel stuck. How can i unroot and go back to 4.3 on my galaxy s 3? Thanks in advance and sorry if this has already been answered. I am just having a hard time getting everything in order.

If you are already on 4.3 bootloaders, then this should do the trick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486

Welcome to the forum! This should really be in the Q&A section. Also, if you'd searched the forum, you would have seen, at least, a couple of threads that can help you ...
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Guide to returning to stock 4.3 via custom recovery
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660
Guide to returning to stock 4.3 via Odin. Please go to the last pages for the single Odin flash-able file
Either option would return your phone to factory stock ROM, unroot and install stock recovery

Thank you so much guys. I honestly bricked my phone earlier this week trying a different way and thankfully got it out of its endless loop. This worked. One more thing though. MY gps has gone to Sh*t. Any fixes for that? thanks!!

Glad to know it worked for you. Not sure about the GPS. You may try doing a factory reset to see if this will help.
Dear all,
I am hoping to receive an explanation really because I am a noob. Because I am a noob I now have a softbricked g3, I think. I originally rooted my sprint model g3 with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951 and it worked great, but when I tried to add TWRP I failed. I tried to add TWRP using another root method, this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...lick-root-twrp-recovery-t3072767#post59897602, with TWRP included. Now I am stuck with a screen that says Fastboot mode started and can't do anything. I found this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/help/tutorial-fixing-fastboot-mode-started-t2995854, that supposedly is capable of fixing it, but I don't understand what it is advising me to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Nevermind, after doing some more research it appears that there is currently no fix. I am just going to try and exchange it.
Thanks everyone
