I flashed my phone yet again, figured I would put it back on lifeless 14 from pacman and I'm having some problems:
1. The phone starts up, lets me play with it for a couple of seconds and then begins a bootloop cycle.
a. I've tried wiping and wiping cache and davlik cache in TWRP many times including re-flashing multiple times and no good. Keeps doing it.
2. Another problem has developed during all of this. It appears that my sd card/internal sd card has been wiped but this is not true. I can't see my data with the phone booted up nor can I see anything connected to windows but....
a. When in TWRP, I can go to Advanced and explore the sd card and all of my files are there.
b. However, if I go to do a restore, no nandroid backups are visible even though I can see them in the advanced menu in TWRP.
I guess my question is, how can I copy all of my files off of the sd card so I can wipe everything, recopy the files back and start over?
All my pics and backups are still there, just not usable at the moment.
Thanks so much. I'm currently dead in the water until I get this resolved.

Did you wipe system, data, dalvic, and cache? And/ or did you do a factory reset?

You ever adb sideload? Follow the first page. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36270473
So if you can still get into TWRP, wipe those 4, and adb sideload a stock ROM. Odexed or deodexed I would recommend. I'll give links in a minute

Thanks for the reply. I did wipe system, data, dalvic, and cache and I did do a factory reset. I did it all, multiple times. All m files are there, I just can access them on the pc or in TWRP unless I go to the advanced menu and file explore. I see everything there. This is very frustrating.
Now, I can't even boot to TWRP or the system. It just keeps flashing the lg splash screen and then goes to the blank backlit screen. I've held the power button down for 20-40 seconds and it either tries to restart or shuts off but I can't get it to go to the bootloader or anything. I've always been able to fix my phones when I've messed them up but this one is killing me.
Thanks for any help you can give. I really appreciate it.
If you don't have TWRP, or fastboot, and can't boot up, then you'll need to either LGNPST. Or LGFlashtool. Flashtool had its own thread. Lgnpst you'll find on irc, or teenybin thread under additional info.

Thanks, while waiting I was able to get the phone into download mode and found the LGFlashtool. When restoring my partitions, will this wipe my sdcard? The whole idea is I don't want to lose my photos or backups if at all possible.
Thanks.

You just never know. I've never used LGFlashtool so I can't say.
With lgnpst, if you wipe in twrp you'll save SD. But if you wipe in stock recovery, you will lose it.
There might be a way to get the files off your phone using adb. But I don't know how.

Yes it will.. it wipes everything...when u flash a bin restore..maybe tiny bins are different.. unless you have adb\fastboot u are pretty much gonna have to say bye to ur storage to save your phone
Also if u can no longer get to recovery it may be to late to pull any files from ur phone

the lg flash tool will wipe it as if it's just coming out of the box, with handsfree activation and all. lgnpst will (afaik) wipe all but your data so you shouldn't lose your photos and stuff

Apparently it was using a different dll last night. The one in the components 3.0 folder called LGNPST_Utility3.dll.
Today, it's not finding any dll nevermind the correct dll of lgnpst.dll. I think all I need now is to have the right dll, in the right place and registered. Frustrated. Thanks for all your help though, you've been amazing.

Thanks man, had to run out before you replied so I stopped in at the Sprint store and the goofy thing must have been stuck in weird cycle or something because it wasn't charging all night. I left it plugged in to the wall using the original cable and block and it was completely dead. The rep plugged it in there for a few minutes and it booted right up to the lock screen without issue. I was even able to get into twrp too. I left it with them to do a manual zvc update and I'll reroot and unlock it again when I get it back in just a little bit.
I'm tired, I was up way to late messing with this last night. I appreciate all of your help. You guys have been awesome.
Wow, this has been an adventure!
The Sprint tech gave up. He could not manually flash it, wipe it, or anything. He could not get it to stop bootlooping on lifeless either. He then thought it was a bad battery or screen so he replaced both (at not charge thankfully) and finally gave up.
So my choices were to have them get me a refurb under the warranty (I don't have insurance) for $50 or borrow an upgrade from another line in which I have no desire to upgrade, it's an extra phone. Either way, Sprint cleared me for both without any penalties on my line as far as my regular upgrade date goes.
So he gave me the phone back and of course I had to mess with it.
I got it to boot to TWRP and I finally got the phone to flash pacman again, had to store the files in some obscure folder on the storage and flash it from there.
With pacman flashed, I was able to get all my files off of my sdcard!
Now, I would like to roll back to lifeless or nexOGen or something more stock. All my problems occurred yesterday when I tried this. Does pacman on 4.3 change something that won't allow me to flash back?
Thanks again for any advice.
All you had to do was wipe SD to solve all your issues.
4.3 uses a different folders it says it under sdcard/0 and stock does not that's why on stock you can't see files you had.
You can pull your files using adb pull to grab things you want to keep.

Hi, I am new at this, and have no idea on what has to go on. Basically, my phone has gone in a security error and won't boot into android or recovery, although I can go into Download mode. When I do however, nothing shows up in my lgnpst. I have followed all of the instructions on tSilenzio's guide, nothing shows up though. My computer recognizes it as connected, but when I look at the ports, there is a yellow warning sign on it saying it won't boot (which I assume is normal?). Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Edit: I have a question, I figured what might be the problem. I had no idea that the components were supposed to be installed. On the other hand, when i go to install them, i get a network error "1316" something about the installation being interrupted by the network or something. Is there any way to fix this?
When u first extract the lgnpst pack u should run the auto install as administrator... that may solve ur problem.

Not sure what you are referring to as components... First off did you install this LGNPST: AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip (70.3 MB), IF so then the lgpnst should have installed fully and be ready to use. Secondly I would assume you do have but pays to find out are the LG drivers installed?
Had to remove links, sorry
IF you could provide some screenshots it would make helping easier.

If I'm reading your question right your asking about changing the COM port to port 41?

I haven't ever ran the autoinstall, but the issues you're having sound like a bad download, or install.
I'd uninstall your drivers and LGNPST. Then reinstall both.
Follow LGNPST install walk thru, then in the the teeny bin thread under Additional info is another walkthru for using LGNPST.

Well, at least that answers my question then . Thanks for the help everyone
So, I've done goofed. Ill admit it, i was stupid. Anyways, I was in ClockworkMod Recovery V6.0.1.5 because i wanted to restore to older backup because CN Mod update screwed up my play access. While mucking around in it, i went ahead and deleted everything (formatted sdcard, systen, cache, data). So yea my rom is gone but i wasnted to worried because i could install everything again from recovery. Now the thing is, my phone wont connect to the pc. I cant find an option in recovery to enable phone to connect to pc (or is that supposed to be automatic?). I tried fastboot and adb but without phone connecting to pc, no dice. I went into ODIN mode and the pc would recognize it but the windows install driver would always fail. Any help in solving this would be really appreaciated. Thanks.
PS. It a Fido Galaxy Nexus GT-i9250M
Looks like you havent installed the drivers properly.
I use the drivers that come along with the PdaNet installer for windows (google it).
In case you are using Windows 8, you'll have to enable installation of digitally unsigned drivers. You can google this too as well.
Just use the nexus tool kit 1.7.6 by wugfresh is can fix all your problems

Thank you all, i fixed it.
Heres what i did for future reference:
Turns out the drivers were the problem. I used the tool kit osiandtrix suggested and that helped remove all previous installations of the drivers. After i rebooted the pc i just left the phone connected to windows and let windows do it thing. I clicked on the universtal drivers option but not sure if it did anything. From there i went into recovery and used adb sideload to put the new cm update and flash it. Everything is good now.
Hello friends,
I'm trying to install cyanogenmod and no matter what I do I consistently get the device not found error when I try to use "adb push cm-10.2.0-RC1-endeavoru.zip \sdcard\"
I know that in the cyanogenmod install guide it says it's probable that it's a driver issue. I've looked around for a good 2 hours trying to find what it might be, so I've tried reinstalling htc sync, I've tried uninstalling htc sync and using koush's universal adb driver, but nothing seems to work.
When using "adb devices" it doesn't give me the error, it just gives me "List of devices attached" which is empty. (I'm not sure if this is what it is supposed to do though)
Attached img of what I've been doing.
USB debugging is on. It's been automatically turned on whenever I connect it to my PC since I updated to 4.2.2 anyway.
I have no idea where to go from here. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry, I'm completely new to this. Do you mean normal recovery from bootloader or a custom recovery that I should of done but completely skipped due to my ignorance? (I also haven't unlocked bootloader so I'm assuming that's a misstep as well?)
Because all I get when I do the normal recovery is a picture of a phone with a red triangle and "!" combo.
Thanks
Yeah to install a custom rom it's mandatory to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. And what i can tell from your post it that you really are a novice on things. Some tips ?
1: never start without a full battery
2: learn fastboot + commands
3: always make a stock rom nandroid backup before starting flashing !
Read up in this forum. Under the stickys there are some nifty guides. If you have questions after that just ask here.

Thanks for the tips!
After a while of toiling to try and unlock the boot loader manually and getting stuck at the load error for Unlock_code.bin, I found Hasoon2000's tool, so he is my god for now.
My query that I have is, Do I need a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod to create a nandroid back up? Because all I get when I try to go into recovery from the bootloader is this (img attached, not mine because I don't have another camera in the house but luckily I managed to find one on google img.)
I can't find anything saying that I do need a custom recovery, but then again it's not working when I try without one, so I'm not too sure where to go from here.
Thanks again
Please read carefully what i write, i know exactly what to do !
You need a custom recovery !
Sorry to be back again so soon but I'm stuck again, haha.
When I try to flash cwm I get "error: cannot load 'recovery.img'". When I try to use Hasoon2000's tool kit to do it for me it doesn't work either as it just says device not found and in the second command window it says that it can't load it's .img file either.
The recovery.img is in the same location as fastboot. My phone is in Fastboot in bootloader.
I'm typing "r:\Android\adt\sdk\platform-tools\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img". Trying to auto complete recovery.img using tab does nothing (if that might indicate some sort of problem).
The only thing I can think of is that the MTP drivers never install properly but I read on this forum that it shouldn't affect fastboot.

If javaj jdk is just normal java then yes. In programs and features it's called Java 7 Update 45?
Do you mean the phone drivers on my PC?
Edit: Noticed jdk was the dev kit. Downloaded and installed. Will try again.
Edit2: Still not working, same errors.
Jre is normal java jdk is the development kit
and yes that drivers

I just updated the phone drivers (without HTC sync) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2376761 to 4.2.0.001 from the 4.0 version I had that HTC sync had installed previously for some reason.
Shows up in fastboot devices now. Still doesn't show up in adb devices. Still getting the can't load recovery.img error.
Would it be worth it to try doing it on another computer?
Yes and plz post results

Ok so I still couldn't do it manually on the other computer. Got the same errors as with the first. I tried flashing with Hasoon2000's tool again and noticed that it was trying to flash CWM.img while the recovery for it was actually called recovery.img. Renamed it to CWM.img and it flashed perfectly.
I assume it would of done the same on the original PC I tried it on.
No idea why it wouldn't work when I tried it manually, but yolo. Hasoon2000 is love. Hasoon2000 is life.
Holy hell Hasoon2000 has saved me again.
I flashed the kernal by accident and it got stuck in boot. So i just sideloaded the rom in H2K's tool and everything turned up Milhouse.
Yay congrats

And if it says can not load recovery that means it's named differently or that it's not placed in the same dir of the fastboot files. A common error is that people hide filename extensions in windows. Then rename the recovery to recovery.img.img and then it won't be found by fastboot

to flash roms on 4.4.X you have to have a newer version of TWRP. You are on the old version. Restore from back up if you have wiped and update TWRP before flashing. It should be 2.6.3.2 the version you have has a different kernel and it will not work

He has a v500 not v510. That's a good way to get a brick

I posted for reference. Looks like the same problem just on a 510. He needs someone to post a copy of the stock firmware for him in flash form so he can use twrp to flash it.

Yeah I understand but a high % of people on here don't read everything before trying something. If you don't remind him that it just for reference but may differ he may try it. It would probably fail because of the locked boot loader but still just have to be careful.
One guy hard bricked his V500 by flashing V510 stuff over it. Now he had to trick it to receive OTAs but it is possible.
