Ive been trying the TOT and KDZ methods without any success. When I only had fastboot I flashed xdabebbs laf.img and I had download mode back, however when im in download mode, my device manager does not recognize the phone. (Does not say "ANDROIDNET COM41" etc) its just blank. Am i just suppose to install the verizon-specific drivers? I have a feeling that is why the LGFlashtool is not working on my phone.
When i turn on my phone it just stays on the LG logo, but when its on the LG logo the phone shows up in device manager under ports.
im so confused and frustrated now! Can anyone help me out please!

Their are VZW specific drivers for the VS980, I think there is a link to them in the ioroot25 thread, otherwise google should turn them up.
i followed this Guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960) numerous times but it seems like im missing something.
am i suppose to download the LG universal drivers also? and the verizon LG drivers?
I attempted to get twrp via autorec awhile back and had issues. I thought all was reverted but when this 27a update came out it bricked my lg g2. It boots to the LG screen then nothing. I can hold down power and volume down and get to factory reset but does nothing when it is accepted. Windows 7 PC does not recognized the phone as being plugged into USB. I can not get into download mode. Am I screwed?
Exact same issue

Mine did the same thing about a week ago. I downloaded the LG download recovery mode files and transferred them with a Linux computer to sdcard of phone. Then when I tried download mode it showed up on my Windows 8 computer running LG support program and return the phone to full stock. Then just root again with stump
I have a Verizon LG G2. It was rooted with stump root. I mistakenly did an OTA update recently. Now i am getting the LG logo then fastboot mode started. I did NOT install any custom recovery. I have tried to get into download mode with Volume up and plugging in USB and it goes back to fastboot mode. Ive also brought up the hard reset screen and proceeded to erase all user data and it goes back to fastboot mode. Im using a Dell 64 bit with Windows 8.1. It will not recognise my phone at all. Ive spent 3 days on every site i could find. Ive downloaded every LG Driver + erase all drivers on the Computer. Im not to savy with files and promts etc. I just recently downloaded a UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi. Nothing either. Please help
Hi all,
I rooted my phone and unclocked bootloader.
My rom is a stock rom.
I managed to install CWM recovery using lg-optimus-4xhd-recovery-v1.0.apk but something happened.
I rebooted my phone in recovery mode and it is always locked to LG logo.
Pressing Volume up and power I can see normal android system recovery, wiping cache and factory reset don't work.
I haven't usb debugging enable so my computer can't see the phone connected with usb cable, and it's impossible for me flashing the phone with kdz rom methods.
What can I do?
Thx in advance for your answers
No one can help me?
Flashing with kdz results in "phone was not found", is there a way to resolve? I've tried with ubuntu, OS (adb) only see my phone if usb debugging is enabled and it isn't, and with a laptop running win8, installing LG drivers and so on, nothing works.
This is salvagable
If you can get the stock recovery mode, all is not lost, all of the important bits are still functioning.
Power down. Hold VolDn and insert the USB cable. If you get the Software Update screen with a green icon you CAN recover the phone. It may require a battle with Windows to get it to play nice, Windows and USB is always a hit or miss affair; but the phone is ok if that screen appears. Do not use the VolUP + Power LG Recovery mode, there isn't a known tool for that in the wild.
I don't normally run Windows and the couple of times I have booted it to do this it required some hassle and usually skipping the nice way since I had never installed the bundled LG Desktop stuff before things went wrong. So just do what I did, pick the Emergency mode that requires inputting the IMEI instead of letting it detect your phone and then let it fix things for you.

Many thanks for your answer, I resolved the problem late at night, yes, after a hard battle with windows.
I installed windows 7 32 bit, I tried a lot of Lg drivers, 3.8.1 maybe the best, after inserting the USB cable with SW Update screen some LG peripherals were recognized but the result in KDZ_FW_UPD was always "phone was not found", then I tried connecting USB cable with the Phone in Android recovery mode ( power & Vol up), and OS added a couple more peripherals, and attempting again with SW Upgrade mode worked.
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/h...mm-lp-t3249803
Remember to install the LGUP_8994_DLL file BEFORE LGUP_Install
Download and install LG Bridge (for the USB drivers) here:
http://www.lg.com/uk/support/pc-suite
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.
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.

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.
