It's in it's own thread here in the dev forum.

I just tried every version of fastboot I could find to flash the system.img and it's just to large. @TheJesus I think it may be a good idea to edit the OP and remove the system.img. People looking to go back to stock can flash the zip I provided HERE

I didn't add the recovery.img to the zip although I could. That way all you'd have to do is flash the zip in recovery and your device would be 100% stock. Eliminate the need to fastboot the recovery.img afterward...
I ended up using adb & fastboot from THIS post and it was successful - but it obviously didn't work

They will run into the same issue I did and maybe they can figure it out themselves, hah. I'll add some instructions for flashing the system.img as well as the link to your zip.

Connect to fastboot via the first way high lighted. Download the zip file place it on ur sd card. Install twrp via fastboot as listed in the link. After install reboot into recovety and it should go to twrp in twrp go to where ever u saved the zip file and install it using twrp. Let twrp do its thing and u should be fine. Hope it helps.

Please anyone edit if i left anything out.

As you were resetting up the phone, lg should have showed you the list of uninstalled LG apps...it ALWAYS does, but I know it is easy to skip over them as well when setting the phone. There should be another way even after, will edit this post once I set up my phone again.

But to answer your main post, flashing the system.img wont bring it back because the phone will still see them as uninstalled. You just have to reinstall them from the lg app list
I got all my apps back except the one that was letting me draw like magic marker on things, probably the thing mentioned that does screenshots as well, I reinstalled all the LG apps and that one is no where to be found.

Anyone have the stock recovery? I tried the original thread with the separate files and the link says it's not there anymore.
It's there. I just downloaded it. Does anyone know if flashify will work for the stockrecovery.img?

Im having trouble downloading the system img. Its like 4gb and everytime it downloads almost all the way then fails
Go to the thread below this that I started. Download the zip at 1/4 the size and extract the system.img. I will say though, the system.img is mostly useless. You can't flash it via fastboot like a nexus. It's to large

Abyone know how to fix a device that will not go into the bootloader, and no TWRP option? How do you do a full restore without either of those options?

These are stock .img files that we pulled once TWRP got booted. If you break something (like flashing TWRP incorrectly), you can use these to restore it.

boot.img - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5fMrmukgO0NcVdKYzczRFBBSlk/view?usp=sharing
recovery.img - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5fMrmukgO0NUTUtdXdVZTM5MGs/view?usp=sharing
system.img - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5fMrmukgO0NcTYxVHhkSkxfelk/view?usp=sharing

For a flashable zip of the img's: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/development/lg-h901-stock-images-device-restore-t3241170

If you're having trouble flashing system.img because of file size (you will). Move it to the /sdcard folder on your phone however you want (simply drag it over to storage), then in adb shell, "dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/system" or simply use TWRP.
How do we flash this if we can not access the bootloader? Been trying to help a user, nothing gets him in bootloader mode, he tried everything from the powered off stated and holding volume down, plugging in usb cable and adb reboot fastboot, adb reboot-fastboot....Only thing that happens is it reboots the phone or the phone just boots normally from power off. It is a EU version of the Tmobile variant? How the hell can he not be able to access the bootloader? Is it missing? doenst make sense because the phone boots. Not sure how to help him

Does the computer recognize the device? It will not go into bootloader mode?

Computer recognizes in, ADB Commands work, the phone reboots however, its like the bootloader is just completely missing and he has no access to it...Weirdest thing I ever saw

If I'm not mistaken, the EU versions have a different way of getting into bootloader... I would look it up for his version... What is his model number?
