wiped everything

aisforadam said:

I accidentally formatted everything from my phone. I was in CWM and I formatted everything, and now I basically do not have anything on my phone at all. After the LG boot up logo, the phone goes blank. I'm able to go into download mode. I tried following this method http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2420219, I keep getting failed previousload() a few seconds after clicking the top left yellow icon in LG flash tool. Anyone have any idea whats going on or how to fix this? LG E988.

Thanks for your reply, however i finally managed to solve the issue. I sideloaded a custom rom using adb. Phew!

Hi I didn't find it in one particular section, I had to search everywhere, i spent a good 8 hours straight searching as I really needed my phone to work. I will try my best to start you off though.

I started here.

That's basically all you have to do. I did, however, run into plenty of issues along the way which is what took up all if not most of the 8 hours. What I did was google each and every issues that occured and I always found answers to it (with some added trial and error).

Here are some of the issues I faced while sideloading that you or your friend may come across.

''device not found''
''cannot read file''

Both of which can easily be solved by googling. I hope I guided you in the right path, feel free to pm me if you need anymore help.
