Hey folks. I had a lot of trouble with the main Go Back to stock thread for VZW.
Mostly because of FlashTool and the fact I am on windows 8.

bweN diorD's download link post in case the links in this thread break again. Thanks bweN diorD!
MAKE SURE TO VALIDATE THE DOWNLOADED FILE with the md5 hashes listed under the links you followed for the tots.
You can use this to check It will add a tab to the Propterties" window for any file. Check that your MD5 matches the ones pertaining to your downloads. There is an MD5 listed for each download for the zip file, and for the tot included in the zip. If the TOT MD5 matches then you are fine. We only included the zip MD5s so you can quickly check as soon as you finish downloading. Repeat: MAKE SURE THE TOT FILE's MD5 MATCHES THE ONE LISTED UNDER THE LINK FOR "tot file md5". If it does, you are good to proceed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Go ahead and put phone in Download mode by VolUp + plug in USB to PC. At this time your computer should install the device, if it hadnt already. Open device manager to check if un der "Ports (Com and LPT)" it shows up as LGE AndroidNet for VZW USB Serial Port (COM##) IF the COM number is anything other than 41, which it probably will be. Right click it in device manager and choose peroperties, then go to port settings tab and click advanced. On the bottom choose COM41 and hit OK. (if you get an error about it being in use I'll write more about that later)
hit ok and all that and close out the properties.
2) Open LG Flash Tool
You may get a menu asking ??? Korean something, choose that one hit OK.
Now in here you have to choose "Select Manual Mode" checkbox on top then on the top DLL box choose the "LGVS980_20130902_LGFLASHv151.dll" we saved earlier, then in the S/W box click add and choose your TOT file. MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE ITS THE RIGHT ONE
Then hit OK.
3) Now click the yellow arrow in the top left of the main window. It will prepare and maybe give a milky way error (seriously) ignore it until it says finished, or ready.
4) Now unplug your phone, power off and then go back into download mode again, volUp+USB. It should immediately connect and start flashing.
It will restart around 83% and then you are done!
if you red light is flashing on phone just unplug and hold middle power until it either boots or turns off so you can turn it back on.
Done!

TWRP is now built for ATT and VZW variants, installation instructions can be found here.
Thanks to #lg-g2 on freenode for the help.
Specifically MJS for the mirrors, autoprime for files and tons of help, IOMonster for tons of help (also a new root!), djkinetic for tons of help, ni291187, Huskehn, [1]ibt, DeamonFish and probably more. Thanks folks!
I want to stress that this guide was written with only Verizon variant in mind, while it may work for others Id appreciate not flooding this thread with requests about other variants.
Yes, this guide can be useful for them, but stuff will be different. I don't know what, and I don't care. Please don't post in this topic if you have issues with another variant, you can always start a new post, or join another one for that.
IF you wish to request me to write a guide for your variant, then please acquire links to all required resources, tell me what's different, and I'll put together a guide for you. Until that happens, no off-topic posts in here PLEASE.
Trying this out right now. Really fast download speeds, thanks so much! I am doing this to get rid of the Chinese root and try the new one. Then I'm gonna uninstall/debloat TO THE MAX because I know I can always go back to stock :laugh:
EDIT: Everything went smoothly, and quickly too. Settings says "unrooted" but not for long hehe.
Worked like a charm, thanks for the good stuff.
This is the error that is ok to get?
"MilkyWay Control Port open fail"
Didn't work for me.
Using Windows 7. On device manager, it just says LG Phone. Not LGE AndroidNet for VZW USB Serial Port (COM##).
And I can't install the drivers; when I indicate the file the drivers are in, it says nothing is found.
Even though that step didn't work, I went ahead and continued with the steps. The LG Flash tool stuff worked. After "Ready", I unplugged the phone, but it stayed in "Firmware Update" mode. I long-pressed the power button and it powered on. I then turned it off, went back into download mode, and it's not flashing anything.
There is also no "port settings tab" in the device manager for the LG Android Phone.
And when I click on the LG Android Phone in device manager, under drivers, it says there are none installed. I tried installing the driver in MTP mode, but it says all drivers are up to date.
I'm gonna sound like a pain, but does anyone possibly have the ROMs tot file hosted somewhere else? Both host sites are blocked for me while at work. No prob if they arent, I'll just wait till later. Thought I'd ask.

I can tell you that when Verizon did this on their machine it still didn't change the About Phone, Status, Rooting status to "Unrooted". It stays at rooted if the phone has EVER been rooted. Even when I went back to unrooted the status still says rooted.
Did you have different results?

You should be in download mode when installing the drivers, and install from the EXE, dont install from device manager, unless you want to extract the EXE's contents and find the driver ini files, that wont work.
Also if it still fails on you, right click the LG phone in device manager, and choose uninstall, reboot, install EXE, then plug in phone directly in download mode. And tell me what happens. I'll try to help ya out. Maybe join #lg-g2 on freenode to get some more help?

Yup, that's what I got. After that error, and it saying finished, make sure to unplug and replug your phone back in in download mode, and make sure your device is showing up in device manager under COM ports as COM41
If you are still unsucessful, join #lg-g2 and ask in there or ping me, as I'm sure you want faster help than forum replys can get you

I did. My root status went away until I rerooted with IOMonster's rooter. Both on the download screen and in about phone. Might want to join in #lg-g2 on freenode and give them a head's up they have been working on this there. I am not a developer, I simply decided to write a guide out of the procedure they led me through.

Turn your phone off. Then hold vol. up as you plug in a usb cable. This will send you to download mode, and the proper device should show in device manager.
GREAT job on making up these instructions on the fly like that bro. I got tired last night and did it this morning instead. Instructions were absolutely perfect. :good:

Yes, I'm on VZ LG G2.
If I disconnect and reboot my phone, am I screwed? Checking the MD5 isn't going to help me at this point, I'm afraid.

Do I need to do anything with the Kernel first? Or just do everything from the download instructions on the S7 site?
I have ODIN open and the phone in in download mode. I choose the 4 files as per the instructions and hit start.
It checks all 4 files and says MD5 is valid.
Then it says all threads completed (succeed 0 / failed 0)
I would have thought the succeed would be > 0?
Should there be anything listed in the boxes at the top of ODIN? Seem like ODIN does not connect.
ADB doesnt see the phone in download mode, not sure if it should?
I then waited and still nothing happening on the phone on ODIN.
I think I need to change the bootloader first? Not sure how to do that?
You really didn't need to open a new thread. Just adds to the clutter.
All you need to do is follow the instructions (that's kinda why they were written)
you should see a yellow box with com[a number] if not your computer doesn't see it. Adb didn't work from dl mode.
Have you installed the samsung drivers?
Sorry about the new thread seemed to make more sense to start over...
I would have thought the drivers work as ADB works in everything else except recovery. I can use the shell and push files etc.
Maybe I should remove this driver and reinstall it?
Maybe someone can ask MikeyMike and Chance to update the instructions?
Maybe someone can ask MikeyMike and Chance to update the instructions.
there should be an extra line:
5.1 - After you plug in your phone you will see a yellow box on ODIN and it will show the COM port. If you do not see this you need to update the USB drivers and make sure your phone is connected.
.....
Even though I could connect with ADB and run adb shell and all kinds of things, it would not show up in ADB while it was in download mode. this was the whole problem.
If this were in the instructions I would have saved the past 6 hours of messing with the phone, but thats ok I should have known better I guess. I dont do flashing ROM every day so really didnt know this needed to do something.
Also on the S7 web there is a page for the kernel and download it. It might have been a good idea to say the kernel is part of the download. (I assume it is anyway) and you do not need to to this as well as the ODIN install.
Thank you to everyone for all the great help!!
GOOD NEWS! Unless your power button does not work, the Revolution IS unbrickable! After searching far and wide for a method to unbrick my phone from the lg boot screen, I found a way! By now you have hopefully been to all of the other threads and downloaded and installed LGNPST and all of that hoopla so I will just post links and not full directions...here we go:
1) Download and install LGNPST and associated files
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466655
2) Follow directions all the way through step 11
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337386
3) Remove your battery and connect your phone via usb (the hard buttons on the bottom of the phone should blink slowly).
**Make sure battery is at least 25% charged
4) Hold down power + vol up.
5) Phone will come on and read "downloading do not remove cord" or something to that nature. Put battery back in.
6) If you followed step 2 correctly, LGNPST will now show an unknown device and will be in emergency phone book mode. Under the emergency tab it will ask you for 1) a .dll file and 2) a phone book. Click on the folder icon next to .dll file and load the VS910.dll from wherever you have it saved. Click on the folder icon next to phone book. Navigate to the folder where you have saved the correct .tot file. in the "file name" box type *.* and hit enter. If you are in the correct folder you should now see the .tot file, click on it then click "save".
7) Back on the LGNPST screen click on start. It should now say MASTERBIN and a percentage ticking up (if not you have done something wrong).
8) once completed commence re-rooting!

special thanks to:

and all of those who have kept the .tot files movin'
I hope this helps!!!
Good post, this method does work as a last resort, but be warned.. flashing a tot file from the emergency download mode like this will most likely get you stuck in "test mode" -- no more usb mass storage (and possibly other problems).
And so far noone knows how to get out of test mode...
All it took was a simple google search...

Flashing to v4 froyo tot will not leave the the phone in test mode or rooted. If you can get your phone back to froyo with no test mode then you can bring the phone back, and tell them the phone will not update. I have had two phones already and for some reason they will not take the ota updates. The carrier had no idea I rooted/unrooted and flashed oh so many times. Just a suggestion for noobs who do not want to spend hours or days or maybe even weeks trying to get this phone to work correctly.
Help please
I have tried above and I cant seem to get drivers to install properly
The only one that installs properly is USB Composite device and the LGE CDMA USB does not install properly. I flashed wrong recovery from ROM Manager and stuck at LG screen. LGNPST does not capture my phone. What else should or can I do besides take it in?
drivers
i put both LGAndroidDriver_Ver_1.0_All and LG VZW_United_WHQL_v2.4.1 and they installed correctly is ur phone stuck or can it boot
unbrick Lg revo info
I downloaded the files and had an issue extracting the rom .tot file , How do I extract the .tot so I can use them with the LGNPST.
I have followed the directions and found The LGNPST program comes up blank with no phone info. I am guessing it is because of the .tot files not being "extracted " . I sure would appreciate some help on this one. My phone is bricked.

When you download the .tot file, it should be a zip file. Just extract the zip file using WinRAR or 7zip to somewhere it's easy to find.
If it's not a zip file, then chances are it's already extracted and you don't need to do it.
If LGPNST is coming up blank even though your phone is plugged in, then you need to install the correct drivers or try a different USB cable or a different USB port because it means LGPNST can't connect to your device.

I can't get it to internet connection because i can't boot into anything . It is like it is stuck at boot. also the .tot files do not extract with any zip program . I have loaded the vs910.dll and the drivers onto my computer but the LGNPST program still not recognizing any phone. for that matter the the computer has not recognized the phone , maybe due to I cannot set internet connection mode.

The whole situation of not completing boot came about when I happened defrosted the astro file manager app. Help

I had a few issues with this namely Tots not loading right getting perm black screen, I pulled the batt, put it back in and did a hard reset (wipe) back to stock then rooted added CWM with MT's hlep of course and am now re flashing gingervolt to broken out 1.1 and still puts me back in test mode, even restoring older backups put me in test mode, only v4 seems to work....WHY?
Thanks I finally got it back running with the LGNPST , tot version 7 . The phone works now but I also am in test mode and cannot switch my usb. Question, Can I use The LGNPST and select tot version 4 and install that as before to get my usb back. And if so will I then be able to get OTA updates or will I have to return it to store for that. I hate being stuck in test. What happens with phone stuck in test ?

You'll be able to get OTAs but you'll still be stuck in test mode. To this day there is no known method (yet) to get out of test mode. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the only difference I know of with test mode is that you can't transfer files via USB cable anymore. You have to either use adb or an adapter for your microSD card to your PC.

Hello.
I recently installed CM10.1.3 on my GT-I9000 running stock GB. I did everything according to the instructions (though, mind you, this was not my first time installing a ROM just the first time on this device).
When I booted and tried to set up a CM account it gave me a message saying "Insert SIM card". I tried installing the kernel again, as well as installing other ROMs (AOKP mostly).
Nothing seems to work. It will simply not recognize my SIM.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

since its the first time on this device, can you check IF sim card is inserted in the correct direction
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.
Yes. It is.
Might be also worth mentioning that I tried it with a few different cards, all of which work with other devices, and not with this one.

you can try taking it back to stock ROM , you can follow this but it sounds like you may have hardware problem, if that fails as sim contacts can get broken or damaged too and can be replaced. so best to test with Stock ROM to check if its a software or hardware problem. also try to flash without SIM card and insert after flashing and first boot.

For a clean install and root, flash JVU ROM and its CF_root, as it is easy and problem free. I never had any problem with JVU
The whole procedure is given below
FLASHING JVU ROM WITH ODIN v1.85:
1. Install USB drivers for i9000 on PC (ignore if already installed) and restart computer to take effect
2. Turn off your phone and put it in download mode
by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER
Do you get the Yellow Triangle?..If so
continue..if not do it again...
3. Plug in Phone with USB Cable To Computer.
4. In ID:COM it should go yellow and you should see
ADDED in the message box
5. Check Re-Partition option and then Click PIT
button to select: s1_odin_20100xxx.pit file.
6. Click PDA button and select :
CODE_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar
7. Click PHONE button and select:
MODEM_I9000XXJVU_xxxxx.tar
8. Click CSC button and select:
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJVU.tar
9. When you have all the files needed in ODIN,
Click Start and let it Run
10. Once complete you will see S logo on phone
(computer will make a few noises like connect/
disconnecting
11.Unplug the Cable to the Phone
You will see your phone working excellent. Now it's time for rooting
Procedure for rooting:
1. Power Off Phone
2. Download CF-Root kernel first.
Unzip the file to a folder. You
will get the .tar file – CF-Root-
XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar
— inside the extracted folder. DO NOT extract
the .tar file (even if you see it as a zip
file, which it is not). You need to flash
the .tar file using Odin to gain root
access and install the ClockworkMod
Recovery (CWM) alongside. If you’re
getting zimage file, it means you’ve
extracted the .tar file too! — and that’s
not a right thing to do.
3. Boot your phone in Download Mode —
Press and hold volume down+HOME
+POWER keys together.
4. Open Odin now. Connect your phone to PC now. You’ll notice “Added! !” message in the Odin’s message box in the bottom left.
5. On Odin, click the PDA tab and select the .tar file you got in step 2 — CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-
CWM3RFS.tar
6. Make sure “Re-Partition” checkbox is not selected. Leave the “Auto Reboot” and “F. Reset Time” checkboxes selected.
7. Click the Start button on Odin to flash the CF-Root kernel. After the CF Root is installed, phone will restart automatically. When you see the PASS written in top left box, you can remove the cable.
8. Your phone is rooted now. That surperuser app is there! The CWM app is also there, and
clockworkmod based recovery has
been installed too. Now you enter the custom ROM world without worries. Enjoy!

But the hardware was functioning perfectly well before I flashed. Why would flashing a ROM damage my SIM contacts? (or any hardware, for that matter)?

I assume you have a software issue, that's why I asked you to revert to Stock ROM after you confirmed the SIM card was not inserted the wrong way round. , only IF the sock ROM also gave you that result than you need to consider hardware, as I have not heard of anyone having this issue after flashing CM 10.
AS for PIT file its in 4Shared site, all they would require is you should be a member and register with them ( you can do that with any name and password) the ROM site is FileRio, there you should only use free download button , clicked a number of times ( same button) for download to begin, both uploads were by me, so its virus free. I will upload pit file to the thread asap as its very small file.
EDIT: already uploaded PIT File to thread uploaded 3 PIT files in a package used for i9000, only use 512

Hey. Thanks again.
One more problem, and it's a big one:
Odin won't respond to my device. No yellow rectangle, or any kind of response...
What can I do to make it realize that it's there?

the guide to solve such problems is right on top (begining) of that thread
Note:- It's assumed that you can and know how to connect your Phone to PC with USB cable . If you do not know, first install Samsung USB drivers on your PC/Laptop, than enable USB debugging on your phone by settings menu>Developer options> tick USB Debugging. After this use only Samsung USB cable and plug it into your phone micro USB port and to your PC USB Port. ( Always use the Back USB port on PC as some ports may not connect well enough for flashing ROM's. )
If unable to connect your phone to PC for any reason, refer to this guide

I tried everything in that guide, and it still the same.
Might be worth noting that the computer totally does recognize the device. I mean, I can access the internal SD from the computer, when the phone is on. It's just that when I connect it in download mode, Odin doesn't respond.
Might also be worth to stress that I used Heimdall to flash the recovery, when I did it. Could it be related to why I can't use Odin now?
And another thing regarding my main issue - could the "Insert SIM" message be a modem thing?
The password for XXJVU is samfirmware.com
If you are still unable to open this, then download XXJVU by Google searching and then try. This is the best way to get rid of the problem.
If you are able to go to download mode, install USB drivers for Samsung and restart PC . Now exit the Kies program and its related services from your PC. If you are using windows, you may find the tray icon and exit by right clicking. Now run Odin and flash.
If you are not able to go to download mode then search "homemade usb jig" and use the jig method described in those threads.
I'm trying to download the XXJVU again. Will see how goes.
I am able to go to download mode. So that's not it. I also don't have Kies installed on my computer, so that's also not it. I installed a few different Samsung drivers, and did the whole process a few times. The computer always recognizes the phone, but Odin doesn't.
I don't get why I can't delete stuff, if I accidentally posted twice. Anyway - feel free to disregard this one. Sorry for spamming..
OK. Managed to open the XXJVU.
Still have the problem with Odin not paying attention to my phone being there. Do you think it might be a problem with dl mode, that I should try fix with a jig (the phone does act LIKE it in dl mode - yellow triangle and all...)?

You seem to be having strange problems. I assume you pressed the correct combo keys ( as shown in image on that thread) and you did not get download mode ( this could be due to ) you don't have an i9000 but a different version of Galaxy S? or your keys are not functioning or you have a wrong bootloader
so use this methods & tool from PC to boot into download mode after you are sure you have an i9000 international version by checking under the battery. just to give you an idea , read this
Odin will only connect when phone is in Download mode, so as you mentioned you have NO problem with drivers and PC, its only your phone not being able to enter download mode.

You assume correctly - I did use the correct combo. And the battery says I have an GT-I9000. I think that's only the int'l version, isn't it?

I will try the ADB solution tomorrow. But doesn't the fact that the phone displays the download mode screen say that it is indeed in that mode? (because it does display it, as I mentioned above). I mean - is it possible that the phone seems like it is in download mode, when it's actually not?
Thanks!

hmm, i got the impression that you are not getting the download mode display , if it does than it is in download mode, so now you need to check your Odin3 download, what version are you using , try and download again and always use fresh Odin3, meaning, if it had a problem or even when no problem restart it a fresh. And best install Samsung USB drivers again ( link on that thread), if that did not solve it.
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.
I tried both versions that from here (i.e. v1.83 and v1.85). I'm not really doing anything else with Odin, so there's nothing to restart.
I also tried uninstalling and installing the drivers a few times, using a few different installation files, and by letting windows figure out on its own which drivers to install.
Non of it changed the result.

this is weird, anyway since heimdall is possible, right? try and download a heimdall rescue kit from MY Android collections and try flashing , if the phone boots you can also install Mobile Odin from playstore to flash stock ROM too.

So I think I may have bricked my phone unless I can get the H811 20i KDZ file but even that may not be good enough to save it. I'll start with where I am currently at. On boot I get the error:
Secure booting error!
Error code: 1003
Modified
I am able to get into download mode by pressing the up volume key or into the wipe mode by pressing the down volume key. However, no matter what I try I can't seem to get it to reboot normally.
Here is what I did to get myself into this situation:
I stepped through the guide to install MM and then I performed the fastboot OEM unlock and booted into TWRP. I then installed SuperSU and rebooted. Then for reasons unknown I decided I would relock the boot loader and so I ran the command fastboot oem lock. I fully understand the stupidity of that thought now but didn't think very clearly at the time.
Here is what I have tried:
Using the LG Support Tool I attempted an Upgrade Recovery which failed.
Using the guide on here to return to stock I attempted the method using the kdz file for h811 10n but that fails at the upgrading your phone with the error message "Upgrade stopped due to an error". I have attempted the retry button numerous times without any change in responses.
At this point in time I am game to try anything.
:fingers-crossed:
Thanks to autoprime I am now downloading the kdz for MM and when it is complete I will attempt to use LGUP to restore it.
Well I get an error message from LGUP stating that I don't have the correct DLL for H81120i installed. I attempted to replace the dll with the one inside the MM kdz but that didn't work.

Oh I wish it were that simple. I had tried it last night but attempted it again as I couldn't remember what happened. I get an error message stating "Connect your mobile device to the USB port. If it is already connected, contact LG customer service."
At this point I think I may just need the MM dll to use with LGUP. I attempted to use an MSI packaging utility to replace the dll in the 0.0.3.23 installer with the dll I extracted from the kdz file but that got me nowhere.
I attempted to use the LG FlashTool v1.8 and found out that the dll that I extracted is ver 0.0.3.21 which is older than the msi version found on here. Does anyone know how to get a newer one?

I had the same error and sucessfully used lgbridge. You probably need to reinstall your usb drivers.
OK I'll give that a shot.
No go...
I uninstalled anything I could find related to LG. I then reinstalled the LG Bridge software which then updated the USB drivers to 4.0.4. I then rebooted my computer and attempted it again and I got nothing but the same error.

I had this exact same issue when upgrading my phone. Didn't do it correctly and it took me about 3 hours before I got my phone working again. It was about a week ago on another computer, but I'll try to recall what I did when it finally clicked in my mind.

Step 2: Hold the VOLUME UP button and plug the USB cable into your PC. This puts your phone into DOWNLOAD MODE.
Step 3: On your PC, open up LGUP. The program shoud recognize the phone as H811 in COM3 or COM4. Highlight it and click the SELECT button.

Step 5: Click the blank space under File Path, it will pop up a [...] [X] at the end. Click the [...].
Step 6: Select the H81120i_00_0201.kdz and click on Start. The program will push the STOCK H811 MM ROM to your phone. This will bring your phone out of Brick mode, but you will have to go through the entire rooting process again.

Woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I changed two things and I'm not certain which one it was that finally made it work but I followed your steps and installed the LGUP_DLL before the application (upon re-reading the original thread for the LGUP program I see that is the way you were supposed to do it the whole time, so much for reading comprehension) and the other was I ran it from a Win 7 VM instead of Win 10.
Big thanks to you and also to bender_007 for walking me through a bunch of stuff and recommending the VM approach.
I did the exact same thing, but I cannot get LGUP to recognize my device. Uninstalled and reinstalled drivers and all. Any other ideas?
I did the following:
Installed Windows 7 in a VM
Installed the LG Bridge software and ran in do it should update
Installed the LGUP DLL
Installed the LGUP software
Connected phone to VM
Then ran LGUP tool

first of all, how can we make PC detect our G4?
actually, even w/o any drive installed in PC, the PC should detect G4 if it works normally.
Device Manager shows my device, but as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port". From what I have read this may be it's bricked mode. Is there anyone with an idea on how to come back from this?

MM relocked the boorloader was stupid.
I had this exact error yesterday. I used cdmatool to get some bands enabled so I could get AT&T LTE with an AT&T sim and T-Mobile phone. All went well, and on my way out I figured since I had done the fastboot oem unlock, I should probably relock it. BAD IDEA.
By the time I found this article I had figured that somehow I needed to reflash to a ROM with a unmodified bootloader. This article is great! Such a rare treasure - all of the links to the necessary software and a short-but-sweet guide all in one. This post saved me hours, maybe days, of searching and trial-and-error.
By the way, since I had already installed the LG device drivers (available here) it was not necessary to download and install the whole LG Bridge.
THANKS!
Many times tried to flash my H811 to 20i but always ended with blank screen...is it have to wait until 5 to 10 minutes to get the phone rebooted after flashing with LGUP? Because usually ended with blank screen and qd mode, have to revive using qfil, imei unknown, camera and google play store always closes.
If anyone has been paying attention to any of my threads you'd know i've been having a horrible time trying to get my LG G4 to work. After much trouble of not being able to connect my phone to the computer via download mode ( driver wont start , code 10) my cyanogenmod recovery magically allowed me to install the supersu zip to root the system, and finally the global root access option in cm13 worked which enabled me to install an app and flash twrp. From here I was able to download prometheus rom, and install it from twrp because the cm recovery kept giving me errors., ran smoothly.. was able to get all of my downloaded apps retrieved via google. I reboot the phone this morning after deleting some un wanted apps I had now i'm getting ' secure boot error 1003" and will not boot past the Lg screen. I am really at a lost here and would appreciate it if someone would take the time out to help me. Now I am totally screwed because I cant get windows to install the download mode driver correctly as there is a yellow exclamation mark next "LGE Android MTP device" with a code 10. That is important because adb/fastboot wont recognize the device unless this driver is running and working. I mean sheesh ive tried this on three computers and cant get this da*n driver to install, really? am i seriously missing something? lg software wont even recognize my phone unless its in download mode and even then, will fail to run because * the device can not start* so the software shuts down
Please, help. and if any suggestions, please provide tutorials to back it up.

This happened to me last night. I tried to "relock" the bootloader. I had to put the phone in download mode, and recover using LG bridge. I found several different ways to accomplish the download mode listed but only one worked., i believe it was here. http://www.androidexplained.com/lg-g4-how-to-boot-into-download-mode/
I used these directions mostly but did one thing a little differently
Download LGUP and install it. I used the DropBox link in this thread:

OK, now here's where your phone comes in.
Step 1: Turn off your phone (pull the battery if you must, but put it back in).
Step 2: Hold the VOLUME UP button and plug the USB cable into your PC. This puts your phone into DOWNLOAD MODE.
Step 3: On your PC, open up LGUP. The program shoud recognize the phone as H811 in COM3 or COM4. Highlight it and click the SELECT button.
Step 4: Under the "Process" row, select UPGRADE
Step 5: Click the blank space under File Path, it will pop up a [...] [X] at the end. Click the [...].
Step 6: Select the H81120i_00_0201.kdz and click on Start. The program will push the STOCK H811 MM ROM to your phone. This will bring your phone out of Brick mode, but you will have to go through the entire rooting process again.
Instead of using the KDZ files, I used lg bridge. Once i was actually in download mode, and lg bridge recognized my phone, i went the the software update tab and clicked on the error recovery, the tool downloaded the proper rom, installed in and I was back to stock, no root.
Take the cover off of your battery, have a good usb cable handy. I had to remove the battery, hold the buttons and start over several times before I got it to work, but I did.
Good luck.

This happened to me last night. I tried to "relock" the bootloader. I had to put the phone in download mode, and recover using LG bridge. I found several different ways to accomplish the download mode listed but only one worked., i believe it was here. http://www.androidexplained.com/lg-g4-how-to-boot-into-download-mode/
I used these directions mostly but did one thing a little differently
Download LGUP and install it. I used the DropBox link in this thread:

Remember to install the LGUP_8994_DLL file BEFORE LGUP_Install
Download and install LG Bridge (for the USB drivers) here:

Select the LG 815 model, the drivers will work. I only used the LG Bridge to install the USB drivers. Nothing else.
OK, now here's where your phone comes in.
Step 1: Turn off your phone (pull the battery if you must, but put it back in).
Step 2: Hold the VOLUME UP button and plug the USB cable into your PC. This puts your phone into DOWNLOAD MODE.
Step 3: On your PC, open up LGUP. The program shoud recognize the phone as H811 in COM3 or COM4. Highlight it and click the SELECT button.
Step 4: Under the "Process" row, select UPGRADE
Step 5: Click the blank space under File Path, it will pop up a [...] [X] at the end. Click the [...].
Step 6: Select the H81120i_00_0201.kdz and click on Start. The program will push the STOCK H811 MM ROM to your phone. This will bring your phone out of Brick mode, but you will have to go through the entire rooting process again.

Thanks so much. Hopefully I can get this to work, if I can get the PC to see the LGE MTP download mode driver then the rest is golden. Will keep things updated. Will try when I get home.
