If you're bootloader is unlocked try flashing the vendor.img with fastboot. If it isn't and you have usb debugging enabled try sideloading the ota.

HI,
Is this action will reset or delete my phone (data....etc)?
Thanks
Flashing the vendor image or the ota will not delete any data.

Is your bootloader unlocked? And have you used fastboot?

Hi,
I don't remember if this function is enable, and it's not rooted (I think)
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.

I deleted the "google app" as it sounds.
I have already adb fastboot installed (PC)

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.
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
Ok,
1. My phone is connected to my pc
2. I entered to Recovery mode
3. I changed the file to OTA.zip
Now to perform:
adb sideload ota.zip ?
Yep

I just clicked "Install" (not using TWRP), and it worked. But you'll have to reinstall twrp and root after the update.

I'm sorry I did not say it right :/ I meant:
- I had twrp installed
- I received a notification from Google about the update
- I just clicked on "apply" or "install" (directly from Android)
- the update installed iitself, then it rebooted the device
- I lost twrp and root
- I reinstalled twrp and root
=> everything was OK.
Maybe you can try with Nexus Root Toolkit to uninstall twrp, then apply the update, and reinstall twrp+root

Hey guys , here is my problem...
Im passing my GSM Gnex to my brother , so I wiped everything ( *including format data using ) latest TWRP recovery.
Later , when I tried to reboot , it says no OS installed and my device doesnt appear to be rooted + no SuperSU installed.
So , I boot up to my bootloader with USB cable connected to my phone , no driver was installed or what-so-ever.
Can anyone help me ? Searched through the forum but cant find an answer which satisfy me.
Thanks in advance.
*Note : I have a Nandroid Gnex backup ( running 4.4.2 ROM ) on my computer.
Are you able to boot into Recovery?
Or restore the backup or use fastboot to flash Factory image (you seem to have a driver problem)

Just use the Toolkit and flash the latest factory image. or you can use adb sideload option in TWRP and sideload the zip files of a rom or your backup.

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.

Did you replace the MegaLock.dll per the instructions? It shouldn't ask for a password. Then again, I think I selected the 3rd option for country.

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.

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?

Most people are manually sideloading the update.zip. Try downloading the update and manually sideloading it.
Do I have to be rooted to sideload the zip for the stock OS? If not, is there a handy dandy guide somewhere?

If your rooted, your gonna break your phone.

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.

I found this app online named "retail demo" which I installed on my phone and now I am unable to access my settings menu or uninstall the app. When I try to to uninstall it a pop up appears that the device is locked. Is there any way to uninstall it without root access?

Just curious, why would you install an app called "retail demo"? Have you tried getting into Settings > Accessibility? If you can't access that i would suggest trying to download the factory image and try flashing it via Fastboot
I uninstalled it. I open the ram usage page and force stop the application.
