Hello,
I have a Tmobile LG G4 version that I dumbly bricked. I was on a custom rom and wanted to go back to stock and erased everything on the SD card including the OS. I have tried the LG Flash Tool 2014 method to restore via KDZ in download mode. It begins doing its thing but my phone makes no progress and eventually the program times out. Fastboot mode is not working as I can't access it via Android SDK. Can anyone help or am I screwed? I have tried both KDZ available for this phone. I also wanted to try to TOT method; however, I could not locate a TOT or the appropriate .DLL file for my phone. Any help would be highly appreciated. Additionally, when I go into device manager I see my
my phone under port 41 as LGE Androidnet USB serial port. I went in there to change that to port 41 myself while trying to use the TOT method only to be unable to locate the needed files.
Thanks
Edit: I was able to manually get back into TWRP and adb pushing the rom back onto the system!
You shuld know that if you are on a MM based ROM, you cant go back to LP. Its safe to go back to V10N. However, it sounds theres a solución for you if you can get the phone into download mode, try on another PC. Get latests drivers from LG, Adb stuff and LGUP, then gran you correct KDZ and give it a shot. Theres an autoprime's post, that helped me unbrick my device.

Hello all,
I just rooted my phone and installed TWRP via Autorec. I rebooted and am stuck in bootloop. The device just starts up and hangs on LG logo. I can get back into TWRP and download mode, but there is no back up or rom available to install. Any ideas...
BTW my cpu runs windows 8...
Ive been trying to reflash via lg tool, however the program does not see my phone. Actually it see it in device manager, but the drivers will not work for it.
Thanks
update
o I was finally able to get the R and D tool to see my phone. However it now hangs as it is trying to install the software. Any ideas?
Are you trying to flash the stock firmware? TOT method?

Thanks for responding! I am using the KDZ method, stock kit kat. In order to get the tool to see the computer, I had to download the VZW G2 drivers, the koush drivers and the drivers from the original thread. I have been able to get it to 49% when transferring and it continually hangs there. I have made sure to use the usb 2.0 port on computer.
I appreciate your response!
Solved
Fixed my phone. After everything was said and done, I just needed to wipe everything to get the update to take hold and get past the 49% issue.
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?
For the past few weeks I've been toying around with the no custom recovery issue on the KitKat update. Trying different boot.IMG to aboots to different boot sequences. As you can guess I've had no luck. And ive gotten completely disgusted with the lg flash tool and methods of returning to stock from soft brick. But what I have managed to figure out is if you use the "lg PC suite", when soft bricked on kitkat, to unbrick, you can go back into the " lg PC suite files on your PC and get the .kdz that it used to reflash your phone.
When soft bricked I would power off the phone by holding power till it went off then on for a second then right back off again. Make sure all drivers are installed before you plug in your phone. Once off hold vol up and plug into PC. This puts you into download mode. Now open the lg PC suite that your phone installs normally. Make sure you have internet connection. And at the top of the PC suite you will see a toolbar. Click " mobile devices " then in the drop down click " Restore upgrade errors". Let it do its thing. After its finished you'll also have the .kdz for KitKat in the PC suites files on your PC. I've fixed a dozen or so soft bricks using this method. And when I don't have internet connection I have used the "lg flash tool 2014 " along with the .kdz from the PC suite files and returned from soft brick.
Lg flash tool 2014 is posted in another thread on XDA. I am writing this in a hurry in hopes to help others but I'm rushing to work so don't have time to post links to the tools.
Good Luck.
wrong thread
I never mentioned using any backup. The lg PC suite doesn't restore a backup. Nor does the lg flash tool.
So what are you talking about? And a backup would have to be restored through a recovery....which we do not have on KitKat nor is there an option in the stock recovery on jelly bean.
And in my original post I mentioned
" toying around with the NO recovery issue on KitKat".
Are you sure you replied to the correct post. Cuz I have no idea where you got the idea of using a backup to restore your phone.
My bad wrong thread.
Hello guys, i'm new here. First of all english is not my native language so sorry if i make any mystakes.
I flashed my phone to Lollipop. Then i tried to install twrp (with Flashify) recovery so then i could install Xposed... but the thing is that i may have used the wrong file..
My phone doesn't start. The only sign of live that it gives is when i plugged it to the PC, the pc makes the usual sound when you plug a USB. And it shows my phone as a usb with 63MB of storage (obviouly my phone has more storage). And when i go to Disk admin it shows me all the partitios that my phone has.
Also in Devices admin it shows my phone as: LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM6)
Do you know what can i do to unbrick my phone? :crying::crying:
LG D410H with lollipop 5.0
Did you unlocked the bootloader before flashing twrp?
Did you tried to hold vol + and plug USB cable to enter in download mode?

Hello, thanks for your reply.
Yes i have tried that already. Nothing seems to work :crying:
When i tried Volume up and plug the cable it shows nothing in my phone's screen. Just in my PC i sounds like a disconected or connected device
You probably flashed the wrong bootloader, which is a fatal error.
I know users that managed to recover other phones from this brick with LGBoardDiag as explained in this topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g2-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933830
I don't know how to get this TOT file, but the same partitions shown can be retrieved from your KDZ in BIN extension with LGFirmwareExtract, I think it's just a matter of renaming the files.

I found this interesting topic, you probably can recover from this brick to allow you to enter in download mode using LGFlashTool (not the one that flashes KDZ) like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475045
But we still need this TOT file and the DLL for your D410H that I do not know where to find or to create from the KDZ.

also i have found not the TOT file but this thread:

I meant that will lead you to a working download mode, which is enough to restore everything, including partition table.
I have a suggestion, you said Windows detects as a mass storage unit, can you boot Linux and follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 to see if can see all the partitions?
If yes, it's just a matter of extracting the KDZ of your variant and flashing the said partitions to get a working download mode to make a complete kdz flash.

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.
Download H81120i_00_0201.kdz flashable zip from here (1.6GB Feb-04-16):
http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G4/H811/H81120i/
Download LGUP and install it. I used the DropBox link in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-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.

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?

Can't use Send_command too.
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.
