Droid 4 Utility Gingerbread Only

Gingerbread only. If you are on ICS this will not work. Don't try! Get the ICS only tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779810
This is based on the original Droid 4 Utility with edits. Contains the complete GB fastboot files to restore your phone, root, unroot, install voodoo rootkeeper, safestrap of BG, etc. Extract after downloading and doubleclick the script to run.
Download here: Droid4 GB Only.zip - 1.19 GB
MD5 checksum posted at the hosting site.
If you have trouble connecting be sure usb debugging is on and you have the latest moto drivers installed. Moto drivers here: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_detail/a_id/78460/p/30,6720,8302
For menu 1 or 2 your phone must be in fastboot mode first. Enter this by using the tool option or manually by powering off, then hold both volume buttons and pressing power for a few seconds, release the power button and select "ap fastboot".
And of course be sure you have a good usb cable and a full battery if restoring your GB system.
Use at your own risk.

My phone seems to have no Android OS. It also has a dead battery. Plugging in the charger only shows the Motorola Dual Core screen. It won't turn on when connected to the pc. I can still boot to the Boot Mode Selection Menu. I also have a factory cable coming in a couple of days. Will I be able to use this utility using this cable? I can still go into Fastboot connected to the computer with the cable?

Yes, you can use this utility to reflash .219 to your phone through fastboot. Did the same thing to mine awhile ago and actually used it to reflash stock so I could upgrade to the .217 leak

I'm having troubles rooting my .219 D4.
I installed the drivers, and according to the Moto device manager, I am up to date. USB Debugging is checked on.
When I try to root it using this tool (menu 3) and the phone is plugged in with charge only mode (using a stock Moto cable), this is what the command prompt spits out. It isn't instant, it's usually done over the course of 2 minutes:

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It doesn't actually reboot on its own, and after rebooting manually, there is no SU app in my drawer.
I then tried to use menu 3 while in AP Fastboot mode, by using power and both volume buttons to get into the fastboot menu. I plug in my phone to the computer, and run the script and I get this:
It just hangs there for over 5 minutes and the phone doesn't do anything.
Here is the setup for my latter attempt:
Please help me figure this out. Could the drivers be corrupt? I've uninstalled and re installed the device manager from moto a couple of times. Could my anti-virus be blocking something? I think that the issue stems from a problem in the interface between the device and the computer.
Thanks in advance for any help

Hmm..it looks like the tool is possibly seeing more than one ADB server running. I'd the phone and let it up come up normal. Open up a task manager and go to the process tab. Are you seeing more than one ADB.exe process running? For some reason the tool thinks you have more than one device attached and as a result, isn't sure where to send the exploit.
This doesn't explain the troubles with Fastboot however.

When I plug in my phone and open up the tool, one adb.exe shows up in my task manager. Once I run the root script, I see a second one open. I tried killing it, and it will just open up again. How do I fix this?
If this is on the computer side, why wouldn't it explain the Fastboot problem?

SOLVED: Well, the problem wasn't really solved, but I transferred all the necessary tools to a different PC and rooted the device. So it was an issue with the original computer. MY theory is that it was an issue with the ADB interface from the Moto drivers. I'm purely spitballing on that though.
Thanks for the help anyways, guys. Time to have some modding fun!

Is there a mirror? I can't seem to download this...

Thanks for the utility!
I had some complications with the OTA update and realized that a fastboot back to stock was the only remedy. I couldn't find a linux solution (am I missing something?) so I modified the script to use moto-fastboot32. Worked great, thanks again!

Can some provide a mirror for this link? This isn't downloading...

can anyone throw up a mirror of this or a torrent? my download keeps timing out after an hour....

Just another request for a new mirror for this file. I would really like to unroot so I can update to ICS.

I don't think you have to unroot to update... If you've made a lot of changes to your system file, you'll probably have to undo them or fastboot back to stock (this includes installing safe strap)

USB not working but system is alive - how to flash?

Hey guys,
I got a SGS I9000 here from a friend of mine who got it from egay (stupid, but nvm) and I try to fix the device but till now I was not lucky.
I want to upgrade to a newer / higher version but the "faulty" USB makes it very difficult.
Here are the facts:
- The device is running 2.3.3 Gingerbread
- Device Information: GT-I9000HKYDBT + PDA: I9000XWJVI , PHONE: I9000XXJVO, CSC: I9000DBTJV2
- Charging via USB does work, data connection does not work
- Entering Recovery Mode works
- CWM is not installed
- Samsung Kies is installed
- Entering Download Mode works
- External micro-SD Cards are being recognized at Android
- If I connect the device in Windows or Download Mode, the message "USB-Device was not recognized" comes up
What I`ve tried till now:
- three different micro-USB cables (original Samsung, HTC and Motorola)
- two different PCs with Kies installed and not installed
- Tried to flash via Recovery Mode but nothing is shown on the "external SD", even after renaming to update.zip
- Managed to copy files into internal flash but since the "original" Recovery Mode seems to have a verification, the flash process aborts either with
"E:signature verification failed" or "E:failed to verify whole-file signature"
- Odin of course but USB data does not work unfortunately so Odin as well
So the big question for me is:
Is there ANY chance to root/flash the device with the actual difficulties?
Any help or hints are highly appreciated.
Cheers

you may have to try all these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571 But first break that cycle by removing battery and reinsert after a few min and check phone connection or Mobile Odin is another option

email the recovery file to yourself or upload to dropbox. then download to your phone and flash away!

Don't forget to thoroughly clean your micro usb connector. I once had the same issue with my sgs. Different cables or drivers didn't work. I was about to give up on it, but then fixed it by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol and very tiny dentaid toothbrushes.
Afterwards it worked like a charm. Worth giving a shot, since these connectors collect a lot of dust/dirt over time.

Thanks for your fast reply.
I did mention this thread yesterday but after installing all different drivers, switching of the PC completely and disconnecting all devices, turning BT ON/OFF, switching between Dev Mode and MSD I'm at the same position as before.
Doesn't matter which cable I use, I just get always the same fking message about Device is not being recognized.
In the meantime, I got a 2nd SGS from a friend of mine which works perfectly after connecting the device with my PC.
It starts immediately with the driver installation and is ready in couple of seconds.
I also tried to put the cable carefully into the USB but it doesn't help either.
Any other suggestions?

That would mean, its your USB slot on the phone, that needs a solution, either you have to examine it very closely for damage to resolve it or its internal and you may have to change it.

hey
can u do to download mode??
if u can then upgrade using Odin...
And the uUSB issues cam with my SGS too,but after flashing the firwmare via odin there was no issues...i flashed 2.3.6 ValuePack..
U too can give it a shot..

Well, as told above, I can enter download mode but USB DATA connection does not work!
So from my understanding, Odin only works if there's a valid connection, otherwise I could flash anything and would not have the problem
Mobile Odin does not work due to the root restriction.
Is there any way to flash another ROM or get the the device rooted with these restrictions?

Stuck on First Screen
Well this is not an answer to the problem. Well am having the same problem as you, just mine is more complicated.
I managed to root using Z4root by copying the APK file on external sd .
I got cmw and entered recovery.
I updated using the CM10-unofficial rom that is in the development forum
I restored the nand that i did in recovery and now the phone is frozen (Stuck) on the first boot screen (Galaxy S GT-i9000 SCREEN)
Now I can go to Download mode but I can't go to recovery mode.
Let me remind you that my USB data connection is not working.
So now I am looking for a solution that would permit me to flash without USB or allow me to go to recovery mode.
Or a tutorial on how to change the usb port myself.
Thanks in advance.

As long as you can get to download mode, flashing should solve your problem after you resolve the USB problem , which can be due a number of issues.
Somehow ROM changes and bad flashes, may have pin configuration changes on the phone, (just like changes in combo key functions when you use different ROM) ...so driver changes works for some
So you may have to try all these http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571 options to get your USB connection back. But first break that cycle by removing battery and reinsert after a few min and check phone connection , and try those options.

Sorry to repeat my comment again, but if all these drivers aren't working for you, you should check your micro-usb connector. I'm pretty sure the connector is the issue here.
Have you tried cleaning the micro-usb connector on your phone? Don't just blow the dust out or clean it a bit with some paper, but go for a complete and thorough cleaning solution.
Get yourself some dentaid toothbrushes. Get a few sizes. You can get these at your local pharmacy.

Get some Cleaning / Rubbing Alcohol. You can find this at a handyman store or your local pharmacy should have this as well.
Dip the toothbrush with some rubbing alcohol. The toothbrush should be a bit moist but not dripping wet.
Start cleaning the connector. You can apply some pressure to clean everything.
If this doesn't work, no harm done. These things are quite cheap and rubbing alcohol and these dentaid toothbrushes come in handy when other electronics go bust.
Honestly, just try it! People always dismiss this solution attempt as a last resort but it's usually the problem fixer.

I fixed mine that had the same problem with a similar technique

[Q] GT-P1000 bricked after wrong bootloader patch

Hi !
I have a european GSM Galaxy Tab (GT-P1000) with Gingerbread and it seems that I just bricked it... Let me explain :
- I have a Mac, so I rooted it using adb and the Terminal, following the DooMLoRD's method. This worked fine.
- I applied the bootloader patch found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071
(to make it short : the (french) tutorial I followed did not say that it wasn't suppose to work on Gingerbread, so I did it...and it failed).
- But at the moment the Tab was still working ! It was showing a "rainbow" screen before boot and was recognized by my computer as" 7 CDCs" which was totally useless. Here is the rainbow screen :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But it was able to boot. I found someone with the same problem in the bootloader patch thread and people answered him to flash it with Odin. So I installed VirtualBox and succeded to use Odin (1.7).
- The Galaxy Tab in Download Mode wasn't recognized by Odin at all, although I installed Samsung's drivers. Heimdall was able to install the drivers for the Tab but the .pit file download failed. So I did nothing wrong with Odin or Heimdall since I did nothing at all.
- And yesterday, the Tab was plugged in the computer, in Download Mode, and it switched off definitely. When I plug it in using the USB charger, this image blink slowly :
It can't boot in any mode. I tried pushing the power button for 30+ seconds, tried Power + Volume Up, Power + Volume Down, it doesn't work. I let it plugged in the whole night to see if it's not a "coma brick" (like said on the "unbrick the GTab thread", it keeps blinking. Trying to boot while plugged in doesn't work and it's not recognized by the computer. I haven't found any answer to this precise problem on the forum so I finally decided to ask.
Here are my questions :
- what is happening (so that it doesn't happen again) ?
- can I fix it and how ?
Thank you in advance
PS : my english may not be perfect, sorry. I'm french and I do my best

Thank you for your answer ! Sadly my Tab isn't recognized by the computer (Heimdall can't detect any device in download mode). The image only show when it's plugged in the wall.
EDIT : there is something new ! Now the Tab stopped blinking and show the image I posted before when I plug it in the wall. I can unplug it, the image stay, so I guess it lauches a kind of download mode... However Heimdall on Mac still can't find it. I need to try with a PC.
EDIT 2 : it blinks again. Wut.

Hey. I got the same problem as you thanks to some user here named "cx5" and his stupid misleading instructions that got my tab bricked.
Anyway, i finally found a awesome application that managed to unbrick my tab. Yeah it's ALIVE!! back again Not sure if this will work on your tab but IF you are interested and decided to take a risk then go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310 and download OneClickUnbrick then connect your Tab to your PC using USB. and leave it there and wait for 20 Minutes it will turn on during that time and quickly click unbrick button on the application then select List All Devices then click the Samsung USB port that you connected your tab at, Wait awhile for installing Driver, after installing completed click unbrick button again. let me know if this works for you too.

Hmm.. Actually, i meant i am stuck in Phone ! Computer screen and can't do anything about it which is same as you. i am not sure how do fix this rainbow screen you're getting. i guess wait for priyana reply. since he is experienced with galaxy tabs. the method above is to fix soft bricked.

You are right that rainbow screen is caused by boot loader patch.
Just use the gbstock safe from overcome. It has GB bootloader.
Follow my signature for the link.
There is the guide in pdf but for Odin.
If you can get it to work with Odin, jump to page 7 of the guide,
And flash according to the picture.
In completion it will reboot.
I did write about using heimdall command line somewhere.
Just search the forum.

Thank you again !
So :
- the Tab is booting again but show strange lines when it boots
- the computer don't see it : Odin don't work, Heimdall seems to fail when trying to flash a zImage, and heimdall-frontend fail at downloading .pit file
Any help ?

I don't know if virtual box work.
In my experience it never works for me.
Try get a fresh PC.
Btw, you can try boot to safe mode (windows) and remove the USB driver for the tab.
And reinstall the driver from GB stock safe.
BTW also, pit file doesn't matter, I think. Boot loader is boot.bin and Sbl.bin
They both can be flashed via heimdall without pit file, you care to try?
But this is the most dangerous operation. Of all flashing, flashing bootloader is one that will kill a tab, as you have found yourself by patching a GB boot loader.
I guess if nothing works, you try heimdall command file with the boot loader part.

Ok, I'll try with Heimdall command line. Thank you ! I'll give some news later, if that worked or not.
EDIT : So, first I tried to flash the GB Stock rom with command line. It worked fine, but it didn't fix my problem. Since there was nothing else to do, I flashed the booloader files of the GB stock rom (with heimdall command line, again) and I don't know what I have done wrong, but it failed and the Tab looks dead. Doesn't boot, even after a night plugged in the wall. I guess there's nothing I can do, now ?

Sorry to hear that.
I don't know why it got to this stage.
Can you do the oneclickunbrick again?

No it doesn't work. I think I did something wrong and only flashed the primary bootloader... I tried plugging it to the PC but it doesn't work anymore. I think it's over maybe some people I know will be able to help me doing hard stuff to fix it, I hope.

just out of curiosity,
what command was it that you issued to flash the bootloaders?

Same problem I have now the blinking while charging in the main supply. After trying some restocking on my GT-p1000 and always fail using Odin and other guides, now I can't open my tab but when I plug it in the main charger it shows warning link between phone and computer. Then afterwards, after I left it charging for 30mins. My tab now just blinking while the charger is on. Its just keep on blinking with warning link phone and computer showing.
Any same problems? What should I do. I waited and charged it for almost 4 hours, still its blinking.

Try OneClickUnbrick

I tried now OneClick and then after that my tab stuck in the samsung logo and can't turn off via button. Computer can recognize the tablet but it is not in the download mode.
~Now I turned it off. Charging it to full. Hopefully after charging it Odin will now work. Cause it always fail in movinand flash. I followed all the instruction using overcome and safe flash.

now I can access download mode but odin can't recognize the tab.

I am out of idea.
The most recent case I read of this, was fixed by removing and reinstalling the USB driver for the samsung device.
I personally use linux. And heimdall seems to always able to reach my tab.
I suspect the OneClickUnbrick's heimdall driver (zadig) is obscuring your tab from Odin.
Reinstall the USB driver again

Do you have P990 or SU660? If you are not sure check the sticker under the battery and report me back. Don't worry we can bring back your phone to life

yeah, true. this device is really unbrickable
one of its favours...

What operating system are you using.
are you running each of the flashing programs in Admin mode (for win vista and over)
drivers installed correctly.
using the Back USB ports. (if using a desktop computer)
Using USB 2.0 ports (3.0 ports have been giving others problems with flashing)
use a easy installer rom with NV flash .bat files for easy flashing / brick recovery like topo's ICS rom, or stefan;s GB rom
or try the AIO tool in my sig, to flash your BL / PL and recovery, then flash you rom of choice.
let me know what computer your using, and if your have any 3rd party cables, or usb hubs in use during flash. (these items are not recommended during flash)

I made you a little rescue pack. It is for SU660, but works with my P990 as well. Download the rar attached to this post. Unpack it. Plug your phone to the computer. Double klick on flash.bat. After the flashing procedure finished you should be able to put your phone into SW download mode and you can flash stock rom with smart flash. If the flashing fails, I highly recommend to try it again on a different USB port, or on another computer.

Yes froyo is one of the stock roms, but you can flash ginger bread or ICS if you want.
V10 is for froyo
V20 is for gingerbread
V30 is for ics

Yes froyo is one of the stock roms, but you can flash ginger bread or ICS if you want.
V10 is for froyo
V20 is for gingerbread
V30 is for ics
But DO NOT mix stock SU660 rom with P990 or your phone will be dead again.

[SOLVED] P880 soft bricked recovery, & no computer to flash... What to do?

I recently acquired an LG P880. It's a neat little phone that can even be flashed with KitKat.
I was looking to flash a Cyanogen nightly over it,which reportedly ran amazingly.
I tried to do this from the old TWRP that it came with. It was version 2.20 I believe.
I kept running into an error, which a quick Google search revealed was due to an old version of TWRP. Because I don't have a computer handy, I couldn't flash TWRP over via PC. So I opted to flash over PhilZ Recovery. (philz_touch_6.48.4-p880.zip)
I flashed this from the old TWRP. Soft bricking the phone.
The recovery is totally busted. Even though it said that it flashed successfully and suggested I reboot the phone.
When I go into PhilZ recovery when I click or touch something or select any action the screen only flashes for an instant and sometimes I get the error repeatedly: "Aroma file manager not found - clockworkmod/aroma/aroma.zip not found"
I can't select anything. The only thing I can do is reboot. Not a single option works at all.
So basically my recovery is bricked. I also have no operating system on the phone so I can't reflash recovery that way. I won't have a computer for 2 months either (I'm travelling the world) so is there ANYTHING I can do with just this phone and another phone to reflash the recovery of at least put an OS on the phone or something?
Does anyone have any ideas? I am currently in the process of uploading a video detailing the problem.

Check an app called flashify, you can flash recovery with it in ROM. So download whatever recovery you want for our phone and flash it in. I hope this will resolve you problems, ofc you have to be rooted

If your recovery is broken in the way you say it, there is nothing you can do without a PC.Just go to a cybercafe and restore to stock ROM using lg mobile support tool.Won't take any longer than 1 hour (with downloading etc. included)

Hi thanks for your suggestion but I think you missed the part where I don't have an operating system on the phone.
The phone has a broken/bricked recovery and no OS. So when I turn I on normally it just boot loops because it has nothing installed. So I don't have a way to do that either.
I was hoping for something like pushing an auto execute script to SD card that flashes the recovery the moment the SD card is mounted or something...

So I made some progress.
I can access a terminal emulator in PhilZ recovery and the Aroma File Manager. But I can't install a .zip from either of them And when I try and run 'su' I get permission denied (obviously not rooted). Same when I run 'adb'. Which is weird because I can make new folders and move files to the root folder '/' in aroma. I just can't do that via terminal emulator :/ =(I was thinking about installing a recovery.img via that, which was pushed to the /sdcard)
There's an' install' command available but I don't think that will help. It seems for some reason the recovery hasn't got the correct screen resolution for my phone. Everything is squished and I have to tap on blank parts of the screen where apparently the keyboard is, but in actuality it's showed far above squashed into the side of the screen...
So, so far all I have is a terminal emulator (with no root) and a file manager with root (supposedly).
Picture here: http://imgur.com/LcClAL1

You need pc for that, try fastboot method if that possible in your case.

Ok so if I can somehow get access to a computer. How do I go about doing this?
I want the latest cyanogen nightly on the P880. (I have 16/12 which is good enough). Also I obviously need a custom recovery. So if PhilZ doesn't work. Maybe TWRP?
What divers and etc do I have to worry about if I only have an hour? I'd rather download the files on my phone and just quickly use them when I get the chance on a PC.
Does anyone know the flashing process for LG? (I only have had Samsung phones in the past)
The bottom guide on this: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/240 states that the phone needs to be in 'Debugging Mode' but I don't have an OS on the phone to put it in debugging mode...
So I guess I need a computer too that I have access to cmd.exe
That's not going to be easy where I am... Most places (if I can even find one) will probably have that disabled to users.

Search for FASTBOOT method on forum or with google to flash recovery, i use cwm recovery and i suggest you to install cwm.
I will sent you pm where to download cwm recovery file for LGP880.
And than it will be easy to install os. First do that and we will see.
You need ADB drivers for pc, you need LGP880 driver from official website.

@leijonasisu
I'm gonna help you out only because you have limited access to PC.
Download LG mobile support tool http://lg-support-tool.en.lo4d.com/ install usb driver of 4x hd with phone not being plugged into PC
Click options > "restore from update error (best translation I Can come up with) and wait till it's done
Root your phone (I think I used this to root before http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230934 ONLY ROOT DONT DO ANYTHING ELSE)
I'm using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481929 adam's twrp recovery even though I don't use multirom it's installation etc. is simple imo.
Download flashify from play store and flash the ".img" file (TWRP).
Wipe dalvik cache, cache, data, system and flash the CM nightly.
If you want to thank me for this post, do it by helping other people out.

Thanks for the replies. I've added thanks. Unfortunately the only access I can get to a computer currently is an iMac without Admin privileges. Any attempt to install anything or install 'adb' or reboot into 'fastboot' requires a password which I don't have.
Life seems to be laughing at me.

I got access to a computer and followed the LG Mobile Support Tool steps. But I keep getting this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The phone is in S/W Upgrade mode. Connected via USB and I have tried multiple USB ports.
I installed the drivers from the LG support site for the P880. It finds the phone, but can't verify what it is. So I put the IMEI number (or mode and #SN) in and it goes to check Windows version and conflicting programs and then gives that error.
Is there some other way I can flash this thing with a new Firmware, or at least a new Recovery?
Also the phone seems to have that yellow triangle next to something called "APX" and when that APX is in Device Manager the screen is just black (Not S/W Mode)
Also if I try and turn the phone on normally (where the charging battery comes up) there's a device "Android" that pops up for a second with another yellow triangle in Device Manager.
So it seems that the Fastboot driver or something isn't installed?
Guys can you please help me out. I only have access to this computer for 3 days
I also haven't been able to find the device with 'adb devices' from CMD prompt. I don't think the ADB driver is installed or something and I can't find it to do 'adb reboot oem-unlock' :/
P.S. My Bootloader IS Unlocked.

Follow thsi tutorial,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
Good Luck

Hi there, thanks so much for your reply.
When I try do follow that tutorial I get this error:
I've tried:
1. These drivers (and other kinds):
2. Different USB cables
3. Different USB ports.
4. Modem disabled, and then modem enabled in Device Manager
5. Rebooting
6. Laptop has latest updates, MSXL, NET Framework etc. etc. etc.
Nothing sees to be working. It cannot find my phone.. I guess it is a driver issue or something because when the phone is in S/W mode it simply cannot be detected by the flashing programs.
When I install those drivers. 3 devices pop up. They all install without any problems, but for some reason those programs still can't see this phone.
This is getting ridiculous. What am I missing here?
P.S. Before you ask, I have been googling around before asking here. Maybe these problems seem small and easily fixable to some of you but to be honest they are wasting my days away, nothing seems to be working and my girlfriend is getting furious at me.
I only have 2 days left with a computer until I am without one again for over a month...

I just saw on xda that someone had simillar problem to yours and the problem was in pc...
And another solution is
I was found this on net.
"Often you may require an update for the OS in your pc. Check windows update for a google fastboot update. I had the same issue and after installing the update it worked fine - I'm running win 7 ultimate. Also disable both LG modem drivers in your device manager so it will pick up the phone itself rather than see it as a modem accessory. "

Easiest would be to try on different computer, I have same problems on laptop, so I have to use family PC for thins like that. Just install drivers on it run kdz flashing and that is it

Thanks for both of your replies. I have one other computer I can try here for this last day, I will try that. It's a PC.
I'll install the latest drivers for the P880 from the LG support site, then disable any 'modem' stuff in Device Manager and try flashing the .kdz again.
I can't believe this has been so much trouble.. It is true that currently I am trying to do this on a laptop, perhaps a PC is what I need.
This laptop has Windows 8.1 and the PC has Windows 7. Perhaps that will make the difference I need.
Fingers, toes and everything else crossed and deep breaths.

Success finally!!!!!
SUCCESS!!!!​
First I installed the latest drivers for the P880 like I said I would. (With phone unplugged)
I used an i7 Windows 7 Ultimate PC with latest updates.
Here are the devices that were installed:
And in Device Manager:
(I disabled the Modem one and then rebooted before flashing)
This flashing program did NOT work:
(note the .kdz file I used to flash for reference (it works))
So I tried this flashing program:
(note the options I selected etc. and EMERGENCY MODE)
WARNING!! IT WILL POP UP WITH AN ERROR SAYING #SERVER NOT FOUND# (this error window was hidden on the left side of the image/screen)
YOU MUST NOT CLICK 'OK' OR THE FLASHING WILL STOP. IT IS STILL ACTUALLY FLASHING IN THE BACKGROUND
Waaaaiitt...
When the process stops, the program crashes (as shown in above picture)
BUT SUCCESS!!! THE PHONE IS REBOOTED AND FLASHED TO STOCK!!
(my friend's camera sucks)
Now I just root with Towelroot or whatever.
Install flashify and then install CWM and then I flash over to Cyanogen 4.4 Nightly!
I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!​
Looks like I just needed a PC running Win 7.
P.S. Feel free to use this method in guides or whatever to fix your phone.
Thanks again <3
