Regardless if you have USB debugging on or off if you plug up to your PC in download mode you can use the LG PC SUITE software that comes on your phone, or download it from lg, to revive your phone.
You'll need your PC connected to the internet for this
Just put in download mode
Plug into PC
Open pc suite
At the top click mobile devices tab
In drop down click "restore upgrade error"
If it doesn't recognize your phone you will need your serial number and your device model number I.e D959, D950, D955, D958, etc.
Sit back and relax this takes about 10 mins
This is the only method I use now to restore my device. Works like a charm for me.
when the phone is softbricked and usb debugging is off you cant install all drivers my friend.and phone no connected with anything.thanks for your intresting

Yes. There is a folder on your c:\program data\lg ....something or other folder. go into it and into mobile phone folder I think its called. I'm not in front of my PC right now. But you'll find the folder you need in there. Just put the stock .kdz file in there. It must be the same version or newer than you're on. Or was on when it bricked.
I've even actually pulled the .kdz files from there after I used PC suite the first couple of times. Used them in the lg flash tool.

I've noticed, by accident, when I did the factory reset method \ steps to get into twrp, but for some reason twrp wasn't installed and it actually reset my phone.... And caused it to boot loop due to what ever i did to FUBAR it. Factory reset defaults USB debugging back to off but when in download mode it didn't stop PC suite from "restoring upgrade errors" and flashing my flex back to stock. I've used it so much I now make sure my PC at work has it and the .kdz on it. My laptop has it and I have a flash drive in my truck with PC suite & .kdz on it. Lmao. Yeah I get a little ballsy sometimes and try just about anything. OK a lot but I always have a way back now.
my friend try this with pc suite and it stop in 0%.not run.and my interner connection is very good.why?
I have no clue. Try different usb cable if you don't have the one the one that came with it. I've noticed my flex and nexus 7 don't like some cheaper no name brand cables when transferring files or using adb. They seem to be fine with just charging. I use mostly my usb cable that came with my moto razr hd maxx. Only cuz it stays connected in the micro end better. And I have no clue what happened to the original.
Also make sure you have the latest LG drivers installed.
Sometimes to get the old "offline method" to work I would have to make sure no Samsung drivers were installed or Motorola drivers, Kies, or moto device manager. If any were I would have to uninstall them and the LG drivers. Restart Windows. And re install the latest LG drivers.
So not sure what exactly did the trick but I did all of it just to make sure and something helped. Try that. Don't plug in your flex till after LG drivers are installed and you have restarted Windows. I don't know but seems like what ever sequence or install or uninstall of drivers I've done now works all the time. Before we got bump I would go from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 a couple times a week just to fool around a few days till something I modified or themed would bootloop me and I would get passed and go back to 4.2.2 and swear I'm not leaving JB till we have a custom recovery on KK. But my A.D.D. would get the better of me and I ,..... oh yeah I gotta run get some,.... oh never mind I'll .... huh oh yeah my A.D.D. it causing crack flashing syndrome. Lmao
I am on F340K Rooted Stock recovery Kitkat 4.4.2 V20D.
after changing my build.prop I forgot to set permissions.
Now I am unable to fix permissions through adb... although I succesfully Pushed the Original backup file from my PC..
I have two backups of Build.prop in my phone also.. One in system directory with the name of Build.prop.bak and 2nd is external sd card.
please advise me what to do?. I can access phone though Volume+Power = LG service Manaual (which is shown in ADB as Recovery device)
whereas Original Stock recovery Volume down+Power have an Android Logo with Red Triangle...
Is there a way I can install/ Push Some custome recovery Like Freedom Flex Bumped cwm or twrp to my phone? Fixing permissions through ADB Operation not Permitted or Permission denied error

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:
mtmichaelson for his awesome root package!!!
jackpot08 for LGNPST
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...

Broken link to a "fix" that is more of a bandaid than a fix, as it requires you to downgrade to froyo.

Yep.. believe me I searched... and searched and searched until my eyes almost popped out of my head
Nonetheless I'll take test mode over a bricked phone with a fresh 2 year contract any day...

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 USB De bug was enabled before all this started.
The whole situation of not completing boot came about when I happened defrosted the astro file manager app. Help

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.

TNQ...I fix my LG...and know work perfect I put 20A kdz. 4.1.2. and phone work perfect
Same problem here
I have the same problem. I think the stupid thing I did was to install V20a without rooting the phone. Now I cant root it. IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.ap would not run and when I try to recover either with LGflashboot or LG firmware recovery I get the same error message "morning call is empty" (very strange error message). I can go back to v20a but since I am not completely happy with it I would like to resolve it. Is there any chance to fix it? I am not very confident to format bootload or installing custom ROM.
Thanks

You cannot root the phone on V20a using IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk, since that file is used for versions V10x. Check out this link for rooting V20a: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688

Uninstall all drivers and folders like "LG United Mobile Driver" and "LG USB Modem Driver".
Re-install the drivers:

http://www.4shared.com/file/ZSMf2x6n/LGUSBModemDriver_Eng_WHQL_Ver_.html
Take out the battery, press "Power Button" (just to discharge all phone components), put the battery back on the phone.
Press "Vol-" and connect to PC. Wait while windows detect the device and search in windows update for possible new drivers.
Windows won't find a thing but will take some time while trying...
After that you should be OK.
Just did similar to my phone and followed the advice in this thread - now sorted. Thanks guys you rock!
if u epic fail to manually force the drivers in just install android jdk open it and update it.

Does adb work in or twrp? If so it's just
Adb push ZIPNAME /sdcard

I dont know; there is an adb sideload command in twrp, but it doesnt seem to do anything; Plus I am not sure if my phone is connected via adb..
I know I have the right lg drivers on my computer, but when I run any adb command, the phone doesnt respond.
Honestly I think what you need to do is restart and just lgflash JB then you can just access your sdcard

you can say that again; this is the first phone that I have had in a long time without an sd card, and it was "mental muscle memory" that made me wipe everything..
Now, my phone is viewed as an F340k, since that's what the twrp on this phone is based on, so I wonder if I would have a problem using lg flash...this is a tmobile phone, but it might "think" its an f340k..
If I can flash the drivers for a f340 on my computer, then I might be able to adb sideload via twrp..otherwise I am not sure what will happen.
I have been leaving my phone just sit in recovery, as I dont know what would happen if I shut if off, and rebooted to system..
Hope its not brick city for me..
Well try to go to download mode and flash stock. You should be able to get back into recovery again if needed.

Maybe a usb otg would work if you put the rom.zip on the flash drive. There is an option to mount USB-OTG

I dont think that would help because my phone isn't being "seen" by my computer, while in twrp recovery
If I could just find the f340k driver by itself, without the WHQL "bundle", I think I could get it to recognize the phone, and then transfer files on to it..
I've looked everywhere, and cant seem to find that driver by itself anywhere..
Not sure but it worked on the similar G2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492911 sorry just read further in that thread and you may be right. sorry
I can get into download mode, but I cant get the lg flash tool to see the phone either...any suggestions at this point?

EDIT:
How can I boot to recovery at this point?
When I hold power and down, I get a screen with all Chinese writing on it, and my IEMI code on the bottom of the page..Power and up gets me the same thing..
another guess. I know with windows 7 the only way I could use fastboot was with the pdanet drivers otherwise my phone wouldn't connect to the pc. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-drivers-adb-and-fastboot-android-phones-tablets/

I think the problem is that my phone is a d959 tmo, but, the freedomflex recovery installed,(twrp) has changed my phone to a f340k, and I cant get any drivers to recognize the phone, so without that, I can't do anything with it..
Since the last working thing was TWRP recovery, is there a way for me to boot into twrp at this point?
All I can do is get in download mode, or another mode which shows all Chinese text/language on it, with my IEMI code on the bottom of the page..
Otherwise, I will have to ebay this thing, and hope someone with more dev skills than me can restore it somehow..
thanks!

Did you unlock your bootloader first using OEM unlock and fastboot before flashing the bootloader?
Try this,
Download the MM kdz file for your phone here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/guide-lg-g4-stock-firmware-to-stock-kdz-t3107848
Then follow the instructions EXACTLY on the following link and attempt flashing the kdz, install the DLL first then LGUP and follow the instructions to do a full wipe and install MM,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
After that, follow the instructions on the following link to unlock your bootloader.

That doesn't work if it does I'd be delighted to know how
Secure boot error 1003 means you only have download mode to boot into
Likely lg up tool will either not see your device or it will say model unknown.
I've been sitting secure boot error bricked for a week with no explanation on fixing the Unknown device model issue with that tool.

Try uninstalling LG up, the DLL, and LG bridge from your computer. Reboot, and start over. You are entering download mode with LG UP correctly right? First, install DLL then LG UP. Turn off phone and with LG UP running, plug in usb cable to computer and into phone, remove battery from phone and put battery back in and the phone should enter download mode automatically. Follow the rest of the instructions in the LG UP thread to flash the kdz. You can flash the stock kdz with a locked bootloader. Your PC is the problem. If you manage to flash the kdz, be patient. It reboots several times. Don't unplug it during this process.

Trust me I wanna believe my PC is the issue I do
So much that I'm reformatting my PC Just to get it to work .
But I'm scared to think that relocking the boot loader screws up what PC driver settings were reading from the phone such as mtp mode.
So the question is how do you get a PC to recognize download mode with drivers does download mode Still REACH a signal across to the PC.
Are these a special set of lg drivers or Lg bridge drivers which are called Lg air driver update that bridge tool forces you to update too .
What makes you think also that This Unknown model is going to go away its already been stated that it remains because If you was on a ROM and not stock this occurs and no way around it .
I'm not saying lg up doesn't see my device it just sees it and detects model unknown so what I'm saying is the pc and Lg up tool is actually seeing the Lg g4 but just reading it as a Unknown model which then prompts you to choose correct model which you can't

I'm just throwing it away it's a headache at this point
I can't take it to T-Mobile cause its not on an account I got it on trade from a friend
And it is paid off but it would be a hassle with no account tied to it also Lg would hassle me for a warranty replacement likely wanting proof or seeing its bricked first then telling me I did it

When I plugged in my T-mobile LG L90 D415 into PC using USB cable, why didn't my PC detect anything? All it did is charging the device.
Already installed LG USB driver, PC Suite, and nothing is detected. There is no exclamation mark in PC device manager either.
In smartphone settings, all I see is Storage, no USB & Storage option like all other devices I owned before.
I reset the phone and start over and nothing changes.
Another thing is that the device always say there is a system update and already downloaded 82MB file, yet everytime I try to update the device, it always fails.
What gives?

T-Mobile stock ROM 5.0.2
Developers options enabled.
No difference.
==
Are there 2 types of USB cables?
One for charge only and the other "data & charge"?
How to tell the difference?
Got 2 cables and both can only charge the device.
Being swapping cables for my mom & dad's devices, but they are not with me now.

I think I'll send you a kdz for the d415 variant of an older version with stock KitKat. If you go into download mode and flash it offline with the instructions somewhere here on XDA. Just search for it. Then it should work. But first make sure your phone is detected in download mode.

Also look for a lg USB driver download thing. This makes the USB act like a virtual USB CD drive to get the drivers and see if it works. If you can't find a setting to change the USB probably does not have data. But check with download mode.
Finally have time to test again and found that USB cable is the culprit. Don't know why I didn't discover that earlier.
Anyway, I managed to root the device after several tries (since the Kingroot that came with the system sucks and not compatible with many apps) and flash it with SlimROM 7.1.2 with Nano Gapps and it looks absolutely slim and beautiful!
Hope it works for me. Cheers!
