I think you can only flash official roms with kdz because custom roms needs SD card to use "flash zip from sdcard" in the recovery.
Flash mage
Use Android Commander version 0.7.9.10 by PanPiotr. It has a option to flash your phone under device menu. I have never used it so I don't know if it will work, but it might be worth a try. http://androidcommander.com/ here is the link for the software It is a very powerful application I would recommend to any andriod user, good luck I would like to know if it works for you. All of the features I have used work perfect.

I only understoood that you flashed.stock firmware using kdz and have no sd, so steps are as follows:
1.root optimus 1 using superoneclick
2.flash cwm using adb
3.reboot in recovery
4.mount /system
5.then format /system
6.flash rom using adb
or
just copy paste files in /system of your phone
I mean the files which are in zip of custom rom
How to Flash a ROM Without an SD Card
This is for all those who don't have a working sdcard, sdcard slot, etc. but want still to flash a new rom
Prerequisites:
- Flash an Amon_RA recovery if you're using Clockwork
- Access to a computer that had AndroidSDK tools on it - you'll be using ADB
- Put whichever ROM.zip you want to flash in your android-sdk\tools folder - I would rename it to something simple. (My example which I'll be using for this tut is: C:\AndroidSDK\toosl\ROM.zip)
Directions:
- Reboot into the Amon_RA recovery
- Wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik via the recovery menu
- Open up cmd/terminal on your computer
- Navigate to your android-sdk\tools directory
- Enter the following in cmd/terminal:
Code:adb shell mount data - *wait a second or two* You may or may not get the "/ #" line returned.
- Despite what happens press "Ctrl+C" to break the command and get back to the standard AndroidSDK\tools> directory
- Enter the following in cmd/terminal:
(replace "ROM.zip" with the name you're using)
*this will take anywhere from 30sec to a min depending on the rom.zip size*Code:adb push ./ROM.zip /data/ - Then we do this in cmd:
Code:adb shell recovery --update_package=DATA:ROM.zip - Wait for it to finish flashing/updating
- Reboot
- ENJOY
Brief rundown of what we just did:
- Wiped /data/ to free up space for the zip
- Put our ROM.zip onto the /data/ partition since we don't have an SD Card to work with.
- Told the recovery to flash from our /data/ partition instead of /sdcard/
is there a way to toggle signature verification through adb? My sd card slot is not working and i am trying to flash back to stock to go to sprint for repair but when I run the command and reboot into recover it says signature failed and then I can not pick the update.zip i put in the data partition.

Flash using kdz uploader. Search and read before flash. There are some tutorials on these forums.

Sometimes the problem isn't about buy an sdcard, but the phone doesn't recognize any sdcard
My LG phone doesn't even have an ad card slot. Entire phone is riveted shut so I can't even change the battery if I needed to. So this advice is completely relevant and necessary.
