I accidentally flashed a ROM that was intended for my nexus 7 on it and now it just boots and says: (750)fastboot mode started. I made 2 backups thank god. 1 is on my PC and the other is on my phone. Is there a way to flash my backup via fastboot?

When I charge the phone in the wall the number changes from (750) to (740) if that means anything.

Don't know about restoring your backup but you should be able to get back to stock using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647

Flash it back to stock. You're going to lose all data on the phone. At this point I think it's your only option. See if you can get into download mode. Turn it off, hold down volume up and plug it into your computer via USB. Then do all the stuff in that thread.

There is no way to OVERstate how lucky you are that it didn't just hard brick. I accidentally mis-flashed on my G3 and it just died.

Sorry to hear that. Download LG Flash tool 2014. (Find instructions on xda on how to use it... Super easy)
Enter this link followed by your imei at the end of the link with no spaces.(youll find it on your phones box)
smg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
The link will look like an error message, but will include another link to your most current firmware kdz format, enter it, it will start the download.
Put the phone in download mode.
Take the kdz file put it in LG Flash tool 2014 and follow the on screen instructions. It should take 5 min.

Bought this phone on Craiglist, when i got home, i turn it on and found that it only boot in to Download mode.
If i try to boot into Recovery then it go into "Fastboot", but i can't not navigate at all.
Then i try to reload the factory firmware via Odin then the phone will on but it in "Safe Mode". If i reboot it then it go into "Download" mode again.
I don't know what to do now.
Please help!!!
Go back to fastboot and use tool kit to set it back to factory settings and see if that works. Hope you didn't pay much.

It was on, i didn't see the safe mode on the bottom left until got home (like i said in the first post, if flash it with odin, first reboot it will boot to safe mode, but if it turn off) then it will go to download mode.
if it's a Verizon or GSM version you can follow this guide to fastboot flash a stock image

It might be the ATT firmware on your phone, but I doubt it. (Why are you putting ATT firmware on a sprint phone?)
To enter download mode, all you do is press on that bump in the middle the volume rocker. It is there so that you can press both volume buttons with one finger, which normally opens up QuickMemo. With the phone turned off, press and hold both volume buttons and press the power button until the LG logo appears. Release the power button, but continue to hold the volume buttons till the phone is in Download Mode. Then just plug the phone into your PC and Windows should recognize it as some unknown device (I think).

tell me the trick how to go back to stock,,,,if there any link to download the tool software couse my phone is dead,,,
I recently bought a phone that was supposed to be Sprint but actually says "Chameleon Network". Ive been trying to bypass the network and revert the phone back to Sprint. Im usually pretty tech saavy but I made a TERRIBLE mistake. I wiped my system , thinking it'd revert but it actually deleted EVERYTHING. Now my LG Optimus G LS 970 won't power pass the LG logo. It can't load because I delete the OS system. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Please help. I just bought the phone from an ebay user yesterday.

Hey all,
I have an LG G2 with Sprint. About two days ago they announced that Lollipop would (finally) be coming to the G2. Ever since that announcement, I have been checking manually for an update on my phone every couple of hours but it continually says that my system is "up to date." Obviously that's not the case because I'm still running KitKat. Many other people seem to have gotten it already, What gives?

You should use a pc cable and send the file using adb sideload from your computer while your device is in recovery mode. Select update from adb. The update.zip should be on your computer.

Then you may want to wait for the OTA.
But here's the thread on this. There are instructions somewhere in the thread, just read through.

What Google app did you delete? You pretty much have to be rooted to do any serious damage. Anyway, Google 15 second adb xda and install that. You have a Windows pc, right?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe try a factory reset, if indeed the device is NOT rooted or has the bootloader unlocked. I know his will wipe the data, however it is a choice if all else should fail.
I did this a long time ago disabling the google launcher and the phone crashes, and the only way i got it fixed was to just do a dirty flash of the rom. That was on an HTC s-ff and rooted through.

Thanks, but i don't want to lose the data ...that's way i don't want to perform factory reset
Ok, and you have a usb cable from the pc to your device? Google nexus factory image. When you get to the site, at the upper left choose the ota. Then go down to the 5x and download the latest ota. Note what directory it downloads to. Then open that directory and boot your device into the bootloader and then go to recovery. Connect your usb cable. In the directory where the ota is downloaded go to an open area and shift + right click. It should open a dialog box where you can open a command window. In recovery on your device you should see where you can load a file with adb. Then in the command window on the pc type. adb sideload ota.zip. Where ota.zip is the full name of the file you downloaded.

Before i continue to perform these steps - as you say,
I just want to make sure:
1. Is all the data on the phone will remain ? photo, whatsapp, apn, apps etc... ?
2. What does the ota.zip file do ?
Thanks again
It will not delete anything on the phone. The ota is an "over the air" update. It's the same thing that updates your system when Google pushes an update to your phone. It should replace the file you deleted.
