[Q] Wipe device and install factory image via adb?

N4 is broken, but I can use adb commands by going into recovery mode. I'd like to fully wipe the device and install the JWR66Y factory image (which is currently saved on my PC as a .tar file). I'm kind of an adb newb/idiot. I would greatly appreciate any guidance here.
Thanks!

Can you use fastboot to flash stock?

Hey you might want to look at the Google Nexus Toolkit. You can sideload a file if you already have a custom recovery installed.

Thank you for the response. Was able to push the jwr66y image to the device using adb in recovery mode. Then, did the following:
fastboot boot boot.imdg
fastboot system jwr66y.imdg
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
Now device is stuck in boot loop. Suggestions?
Thanks!

How did the command "fastboot system" even work?
When you flash an image, the command is the following:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Etc.
Anyways, you could have simply downloaded a rom, boot in recovery, use "adb push" to copy the file on your phone, then install it normally through your recovery.

Try to go into recovery and wipe the caches and do a data factory reset, that will probably work.

Most flashable files come as a tar.md5 for use with odin. What do you do with a tar.md5 file if you want to flash it with adb? It appears that adb requires .img files.
My reason for wanting an .img file is that I tried flashing a stock recovery with odin and got an "MD5 Error, Binary is invalid". I have no idea what that means. I just figured I would try the adb approach since I need to learn adb anyway.
I would rather solve the "MD5 Error, Binary is invalid" error and proceed with odin. Since I am a noob, I don't know exactly how to proceed. Can anyone help me resolve this?
Thanks,

Odin? That's for samsung mate. Won't work here. You need to download the factory images and extract it to get stock recovery. Or just head over to general section and there are thread for flashable stock recovery/modem/kernel. There is also a guide on how to use adb, a very detailed one at that. I'm sure you won't have trouble following it. Just read carefully and do it. All the things you need are given in that thread.

1. Make sure you have Android SDK installed. if not download here.
2. Download Nexus 4 factory rom from here.
3. Unzip the factory rom [occam-kot49h-factory]. If you dont know how to unzip. Download and install Winrar. Open the file with Winrar and Extract it somewhere in your computer.
4. Turn off your phone
3. Hold Volume up + Power; once it loads up to bootloader; connect it to your computer
5. The file [occam-kot49h-factory] you extract it early; in there you should see a file flash-all-bat. Open it [run it as admin if you are running Vista/7/8] and let it do its magic. Your phone will factory reset.

go to this website, download the toolkit, and connect your nexus to computer on fastboot mode, do some few clicks, and boom, done

I have exactly the same problem. Then i restored by backup, and now WiFi and Bluetooth, are not working! Also the phone freezes on Google logo for about 30 seconds, and then it starts. And also my PC doesnt recognize the phone as a media device. :'(

try with cwm, or download factoy images, extract the tar,then extract image-occam-krt16o.zip,boot your phone into fastboot mode,open fastboot and type fastboot erase system, fastboot erase boot, copy the extracted files to the same folder as fastboot and type,fastboot flash system system.img,fastboot flash boot boot.img,reboot. u may need to update radio/bootloader.
PS; if u dont care losing data just flash stock from google with flash-all.bat(included in the .tar).

just copý the extracted files of that zip into the same folder as fastboot.
example: your fastboot is located at c:\fastboot and the zip u extracted is on c:\user\download\factoryimg\zipfilesextractedhere
then u copy all the files from the c:\user\download\factoryimg\zipfilesextractedhere to c:\fastboot

I softbricked my LS980 and cannot escape fastboot. Assistance Requested.

Had a problem with audio playback (volume always high no matter what). Decide to flash. PAC for my Sprint LS980. I see this:
Seems to be a lot of confusion so I'll clear things up..
ZV7->ZV8->ZVA is how the ota history goes, with ZVB on the way.
If you're on stock ZVA, your aboot (bootloader) may not be downgraded, in that case, use FreeGee from Play Store to install a recovery, it will automatically downgrade your aboot.
if you have the ZVA Radio, just flash furnace or dr87's kernel after you flash an AOSP ROM, all done.

Sorce: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2669074
Seeing the last sentance, I think that if I flash ZVA Radio, SlimKat ROM (the one that causes me problems) and then dr87's kernel I could try a ZVA experience. I flashed SlimKat again becuase I was going to change anyway, I wanted to try it with ZVA.
Tell myself why not, I do it.
Fails but I didnt pay much attention. I reboot.
Stuck in fastboot mode and cant escape. Recovery is a no-go.
Tried flashing both ZV7aboot.img and twrp2.6.3.0.img into their appropriate partitions (boot and recovery).
Still having problems, but now I cant do any button combination (except DownloadMode. Cant turn off) after ZV7aboot.img flash.
I dont want to erase my memory (~26GB of valuable data). Is there a way to flash a ZV8Radio.zip from fastboot? I think thats my problem, but Im not too sure. Just access to recovery would allow my to fix my problems.
Thanks anyone for any help! I think I really screwed myself over this time. Thanks everyone!
Edit: Anyone know where to get a boot.img and system.img for the Sprint LS980?

zv7_aboot.img isn't a boot.img, it's the bootloader. Use FreeGee to install twrp, it will handle the aboot for you. Then you can take advantage of the last sentence.

I am stuck in fastboot. No recovery. Download mode is also accessable.
Which of the following would help:
* System.img and Boot.img (where to find em?)
* A kernel .img (Do they exist?)
* Flashing the ZV7 or 8 aboot.img oncemore with twrp.img again?
Thanks for coming to help! It means a lot.

If you can boot into a rom, use FreeGee to install twrp. If you can't boot into rom and recovery, you need to flashtool.

Flashtools is asking for login and password. ?
Does this mean I have to wipe all user data in order to use it?
Edit: Do you know where System.img and Boot.img could be downloaded? I think its my only hope.

Thanks for the link! That was extremely helpful.
What I did to gain access to twrp again was:
Download boot.img from the link.
Download aboot.img from link.
Download twrp.img (but this isnt necessary, file is already available on phone. No need.)
* Enter command 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
* (If you hold power it starts showing LG Logo.)
* Go back to Fastboot. Enter command 'fastboot flash aboot aboot.img'
* Now TWRP access is regained! Phone doesnt boot normally, must flash ROM and stuff again.
Thanks a lot! This was an okay first fastboot experience.

Soft Bricked Sprint LS980?
Hello, I'm having a similar problem. I haven't had a phone for a couple years since tinkering with my Evo and thought I still knew what I was doing with my new G2. That proved to be incorrect.
I had it semi rooted. (I followed the instructions using Ioroot and Kingo) I wasn't able to change APN and use GSM for Metro PCS
After reading up about the spark patch I followed a tutorial (not very well obviously) and managed to get the phone will it will no longer boot.
I can get it into bootloader, and a frozen in download mode. otherwise it just hangs at the LG logo.
Is there a way to recover from bootloader?
I copied twrp-2.6.3.2-g2spr.img and zv7-aboot.img to the phone and did the following.
Here are the commands I used with the guide. I looks like I was using 2 different guides at once..... :/

with phone still plugged in run kingo and root it
it will reboot
with phone plugged in run "adb usb" from command prompt on pc (from the link for adb that it installed, it will open a command prompt for you in the proper folder when you click it)

I use goo manager from play store to boot into recovery, I dont even know the key combo for it yet.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Alright, sorry to comment on something 3 months old, but I just had this problem and managed to solve it.
When in the mode described above, you are still able to use Fastboot. Get a linux computer and install fastboot.
Then, go here: http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware/zvc_partitions
Download the images for laf, aboot, boot, and recovery.
type the following commands in fastboot:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot 6-boot.img
fastboot flash aboot 4-aboot.img
fastboot flash recovery 10-recovery.img
fastboot flash laf 11-laf.img
fastboot reboot
This fixed the problem for me. Good luck!

Sorry for not replying, but I see you managed to fix your problem. All you needed to do was download .img files, then enter commands through fastboot. Although it is slightly more complicated than that, its the rough outline of what needs to be done to fix it. Nice work fixing your problem. I came back to this thread to remind myself of the commands that need to be entered (My comments help myself).
I think I am just going to copy-paste the quoted box above if anyone needs instructions how to do this. Thanks for the quick guide I can use to help others!

bricked , simple fix?

this process (which i got from a different thread originally)
bricked my phone Lg G2 (Ls 980 sprint 32 gb)
i was on remote connection with my friend attempting all kinds of flashes (mostly custom roms and recoveries)
what he did
he FIRST flashboot erase aboot
and then erased all the other files
foolishly he then used fastboot reboot BEFORE reflashing the necessary images
this leaves me with a device that is practically 100% empty all hardware no software
i have no response no life not even a backlight EXCEPT
i can plug into windows and see Qdloader9008 is connected comport 3
and i can communicate with the device on ubuntu terminal although im not too farmiliar with terminal syntax so im not having much luck
im convinced it is as simple as reflashing at least a working recovery or download mode from which i can install everything else i nee
between QPST, Terminal, and or some other method
sorry for Noob ish ness
any help would be appreciated even if just help with a better understanding of what to do next
payment is possible

Sorry, I barely understood what to do originally. What you have to do next is to reflash the aboot/boot/ whatever partitions but getting to that position might be difficult. Maybe some sort of command would allow you to connect to it oncemore?
Sorry, try to look into it more and see if a dev could help. Try posting something in /r/lgg2 but then again I cant be certain anything would happen. Good luck!

Easy guide
Since the problem keeps happening to people heres a quick tutorial I made.
Download and install this (PC only?)
Now go here. (D802) (D800) (LS980) (VS980) (D803) (Device tree/others)Download the images for laf, aboot, boot, and recovery.
Place the 4 .img files in the same folder. Control right click in that folded and open terminal. If this isn't how you open terminal in a folder search"how to open terminal in a folder".
(NOTE: Commands below will differ from the file names. Change the values in the parenthesis to match the files, HOWEVER, do not type the parenthesis into the terminal prompt! It will not work if you do.)
type the following commands in fastboot:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot (6-boot.img)
fastboot flash aboot (4-aboot.img)
fastboot flash recovery (10-recovery.img)
fastboot flash laf (11-laf.img)
fastboot reboot
You should be fine now!

Unbrick Ls980 formatting partitions
Do this: (only for LS980)
1. Download the adb.zip file
2. Unzip in you computer the adb.zip file
3. Connect your phone LS980 to your computer
4. Run "particiones lg g2.bat"
5. Enter in download mode and flash the phone
6. enjoy your phone

type the following commands in fastboot:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase aboot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase laf
fastboot flash boot (6-boot.img)
fastboot flash aboot (4-aboot.img)
fastboot flash recovery (10-recovery.img)
fastboot flash laf (11-laf.img)
fastboot reboot
You should be fine now!

i tried this with almost all model files but still on fastboot any other option?>

I want to say thank you so much for this thread. Just got a new (refurb) G2 switching carriers to T-Mo and my idiot self used the wrong root program and soft bricked to fastboot. 4 .img files later and a few commands and I don't think I've ever been so happy to see a download screen on a phone...

unable to load from fastboot

I am trying to flash the kernal for 5.1.1 after a restore to stock and get my wifi going again. I placed the kernal zip in the adb folder
where I have the adb and fastboot exe files. I opened the command prompt in that folder after I unziped the kernal to get the img.
I can fastboot reboot bootloader, and fastboot devices, which shows the s.n for the phone. When I used the, fastboot flash boot v4tk-kernel-uber-alias.img, command I get an "unable to load"? Whats going on and how do I fix this. Same thing happened when I tried to flash non-hlos.bin. Help please....I am using windows 10.

Somebody? Im sure Im not the only one with this problem.....

Flashing boot and modem are pretty straight forward. Not sure what your issue is.

The only things I can think of that would cause that would be either the file is not in that directory or it's not spelled correctly. For the modem are you typing non-hlos or NON-HLOS? It should be all caps. As for the boot image, try renaming it. That's about all I can think of.

Try this Method
De-grade to Kitkat by downloading Kitkat firmware UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.22.40.540-user ( Kitkat).
Then Extract Fastboot.img, Boot.img and recovery.img
flash these files throufgh fastboot, for that downoad minimal adb tools and connect your phone through usb when in fastboot mode
flash these files by clicking right while holding shift on the ADB tools folder in Blank space and choose Open command window here .
then type these 4 commands :
fastboot flash fastboot fastboot.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader [wait for the fastboot mode to reopen in phone then]
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
after these 4 commands go to recovery through selecting recovery from fastboot.
In recovery, select Update from adb. Now copy firmware.zip in that ADB tools folder which is UL-ASUS_T00F-WW-2.22.40.540-user.zip and rename it to update.zip for ease.
now type in Cmd :
adb sideload update.zip
after this clear data/cache in phone and Your phone will boot.
