There is a way to push a rom to your phone trough CWM and then flash it but i m not sure how...
however check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010624
be sure to use the right KDZ. You should get it right from LG official website with you IEMI number (I know you dont have access to it since you are stuck in recovery but it can be written on your optimus g box... at least mine is there(telus E973))
Tell me if that helped
nope has a error trying to recover doing everything just how I am stumped
Did you install msxml and B2CAppSetup before trying the unbrick steps above?
You just need to clear your reboot flag in the misc partition. I'll get you the commands in a bit or you can search sprint forum.

You need to flash it with Odin.
I did it via adb shell and used dd to first create a backup of my original recovery & then clone the cwm img stored on my sdcard to the recovery partition. But i'm a fan of command line utilities.
What version of ODIN ?

How to get recovery mode:
Power off your phone, then press "Power + Vol Up + Home" at the same time
or
if you have USB connected (debug option turn on in your phone), issue "adb reboot recovery"
PS: TWRP sometimes has touch problem (still don't know why), you need to use power off method to get recovery mode (it works almost).
How to restore your stock recovery
(I am assumming your backup recovery (stock) image in /sdcard)
adb shell

Touch is weird. I think there was a problem with screen resolution
and I cannot flash F240S's TWRP.
F240k's works just fine, though

good to hear ...
for flashing permanent recovery has both good and bad side:
pro: we can restore any issue by twrp or cwm backup
con: we cannot OTA update directly until we flash back stock recovery

1) to recovery: When your phone in power off mode, press "Power + Vol Up + Home" at the same time, wait it flash to boot twice
2) do you have rooted your G Pro?

make sure you have adb drivers installed correctly
check driver, reboot PC + mobile and re-try
PS: test
adb devices
you should see your device ID, otherwise your adb drivers in pc is not working

no... it sounds L is different.......
my founding, when comparing K & S are identical binary
but L is totally different from K or S (either TWRP or CWM)
it sounds strange...to me, if the LOKI using the the same signature for all KR version
If you can use CWM on K or S, I think it is ok
can you test for me, try flash gk-twrp-f204S , and see whehter you can use it?
so I downloaded the e980 vanir rom along with the 4.3 gapps, I went into twrp and did a factory wipe, then I went to flash the rom and it said failed, it also failed with the carbon roms, any help would be much appreciated!
Try cwm!!

this may be a little long but here's how i got carbonrom nightlies on my phone:
I have successfully rooted, s-off, twrp, and installed carbonrom nightlies. Here are the steps I took to change the rom on my lg ogp:
I rooted my phone first according to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2276652
I had to edit the bat file in notepad because when I attempted adb, the program saw too many devices. Here is what I had to edit after every adb command, ie:
adb -s LG-E980-c80aed6b shell "echo -en \\x0d > /sdcard/G_security"
I added the switch: -s LG-E980-c80aed6b to direct the adb command to my device. This will only work from the stock rom since a different rom will have a different name. To find your phone's name, use this command: adb devices this will give you the name of your device to use after -s
after my phone was successfully rooted, I used freegee from google play to unlock the bootlaoder, remove the lg security and install twrp: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.shell.freegee_free
the twrp that freegee installed had the popular touchscreen problem where the touchscreen didn't really work so I installed twrp 2.6.3 from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2455828
this was another bat file that I had to edit to direct the adb command to my phone. I had to find the name and change the bat file in notepad just like I did for the root step above. When it quickly installed and rebooted, it worked flawlessly.
Now I was ready to install carbonrom nightlies: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439911 using the instructions from ballshanglow in the 3rd thread.
I love all the options that oblikas incorporated. This is a great 4.3 rom. I hope this helps.
I have bricked my lg ogp but I just used the lg flashtool and followed the instructions to return it to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420219

I have E980 that has secure boot error, and it boots into CWM 6.0.4.4 . However, it cant read / mount external , so i cant flash anything from microSD.
So, how do I upgrade to TWRP 2.8.7.0 and flash Slim LP ( is this latest and best ROM for this device ? ) TIA
PS : does sideloading the twrp recover work ?
There was a flashable zip of TWRP somewhere in TWRP thread, but generally, best way would be to simply flash it via flashify. You can always try to flash roms from internal SD or via sideload, but I'm not sure that old CWM will work with newer zips - it wasn't working well even back in Kitkat days, not now.
You can always flash Philz CWM, and use it as a starting point, and update to TWRP as soon as possible. Not that there is much going on for this device.

Best approach would be to flash stock Jellybean, then root, install busybox, flash TWRP (can't remember if you have to flash one from FreeGee first and then update, last time I did a full reflash was long time ago), do a NAND backup and flash whatever you like after that, because half of our stuff is based on JB, even recoveries won't read KitKat partitions scheme well (kitkat has different modem partitions compared to jellybean so there is always a possibility you won't be able to backup and restore EFS, or you'll get a partial backup, because there are 3 EFS partitions).
Once you flash on Jellybean base, no further changes are necessary.
problems !!!

I got another problem while trying the LG flash tool stock ATT V20 tot file ( cant find kdz for E980 ) . I followed the guide , downloaded all necessary files, phone can be put into download mode . However, it wont show COM/Port in my laptop and show no device list in adb shell . It cant be driver problem becuz I tried to reinstall a few times and other phones can be detected fine in adb shell . Any idea ?
PS: Phone shows a yellow mark USB Composite device instead of LGE mobile com/port though .

You need LG's unified driver installed. Also, make sure that you have E980 (there are 5+ variants, all differences in firmware). Probably it would be best to download firmware according to IMEI.

Like i said i got proper driver installed and recognized by my other LG devices. I got it resolved now . The issue is with USB 3.0 . You have to use USB 2.0 for the LG Flash Tool and driver to work properly. This is also stated in the other threads . Thanks again
