Like topic says. Was doin' it via LG PC Suite. Now it's only LG logo on my phone. Any ideas what should I do?
Are you planning to install custom ROMs on your phone?
If so, check this out:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16783348&postcount=1
Instead of doing this:
Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and let Windows install any drivers it needs.

Do this instead:
Hold down volume down and plug in the USB cable and 'download mode' should come up on the screen. Let windows install any drivers it needs. Then launch software update.

Hope it fixes your problem and device
Same thing happened to me, bricked my device, took it to phone shop they flashed the board and it worked again, think i could have just entered download mode and reinstalled but, i was a noob then still am tbh
Just put your phone into download mode.
Flash fastboot.
Then reflash your ROM!!
ALL DONE XD
Any
You can flash any ROM you want via fastboot and any failed attempts won't completely brick your phone.
Hey guys im trying to back to a fresh stock rom. (VS980)I downloaded all the necessary files, drivers, lgflash tools etc etc. however my computer still cannot recognize my phone. under ports there is not an ANDROID port for my phone. (since we need to change it to COM41)

When it's in the download mode it may show up in a different location in the device manager and be listed only as "android".
Do you hear any sound from the computer when you plug it in when in download mode?
What does your download screen look like?
Once these questions are answered, there may be a solution. Hopefully a CDMA device won't be different

there are two possibilities.. First, your phone is already hard bricked.. second is, your battery is absolutely dead with no power left...
Well, Have you tried to check the battery itself?

ok, so have you tried it using different PC or laptop?
(last option if nothing else to try) if you want to check the battery :
DIY remove the case ( there are several tutorials in youtube, but of course, do it with your own risk)

It's not hard bricked/
Getting into download mode proves this.
You must get your computer to recognize your device in order to communicate with it. So I would not consider anything else until that is accomplished. PERIOD!
1. Are you using a USB 2.0 port? usb 3.0 will not work a lot of the time. (Important)
2. Have you tried another usb cable?
3. I think we discussed the drivers, I have them if needed
What operating system are you using?
If nothing here helps we can we can use "TeamViewer 9" which will give me control of your computer to help resolve this issue...

Hi Guys,
Please I am in some serious mess and I need help. i messed up with my bootloader and now my phone seems dead. now here's what happens, the phone is completely dead and does not power on. any time i connect it to pc, it shows under device manager as USB Input device. under the tap 'HUMAN INTERFACE DEVICE (HID) the red light stays on for some time then it goes off. Actually i have all the necessary flash firmwares to kick it back to life, but the issue i am having is, my phone is not being detected by my pc. i installed Gionee drivers from the official webpage but still it won't detect my phone. it always sees my phone as 'USB INPUT DEVICE' i was told it needs to be detected under com port before my flashing sotware can recognize it.
please Help

I saw this video www youtube com watch?v=EL12Cq9X3oo and I tried but I have some problems.
At first, phone was detected by Qcom Phone Download Tools v2:1.0.1 , and I could start download. It stopped at 3% and since this moment the phone is not detected like COM PORT. It is detected like Human Interface USB.
I don't know what I have to do. I have waited 2 days, to drain the batery and computer is recognized as the same, Human Interface USB
I am using a virtual machine with XP 32bits.
Please help.

Windows 7 32bit should be okay. Try my guide in the gionee elife e7 general thread. If it doesnt work, keep uninstalling the usb input device and try different combos with the volume and power buttons before plugging USB to computer. If your LED light blinks red while you are connected as USB input device that increases your probability of succeeding.

I did. I have unbricked the phone. I made a factory cable and the PC recognized the phone.
I have one problem. Battery is always 1%.... and if i disconnect the charger mobile turn off in less than minute.
I am updating to KitKat with the phone update. I hope update fix the error.
EDIT: I used Win7 64bits.

Phone after disconnect charger went off. When I connected the phone to the pc the problem returns... It recognized as HID. I tried some restarts, push PW button 12 second and after disconnect the cable, etc...
When I was triying to detect the phone as port com, light red was freeze and turned on without the usb cable.
I press power, vol+ and vol- for few seconds and red light stopped. After that the phone was charging normally.
When I woke up it was 100% .
Have u tried Qualcomm fastboot
Seems I've hit the jackpot, my phone's a potato. I had just installed king of nougat v9 and it worked fine until I rebooted into recovery by holding the power button and selecting recovery. At first it was in a boot loop and wouldn't open recovery or get recognized by odin, I read somewhere here to disconnect the battery so I opened the back cover and disconnected it which apparently ****ed the phone a step further now it's dead unless it's connected to a power source and after disconnecting it stays on samsung logo/download mode for a bit then dies.
On my old rom it was working fine except for the fact that I couldn't connect the phone to pc as storage, and it couldn't recognize usb devices I plugged in using the adapter. I took the phone to a repair shop and they said they replaced the micro usb assembly and it still didn't show up on odin, then a few days later they said it's a problem with the power IC and they replaced that then the guy said it worked once on odin then stopped again.
Idk what to do lol, phone's bricked or should I try a different repair shop incase these were idiots.
note: it says device descriptor request failed when connected to pc
Have you tried to reboot to the bootloader by holding down the power button, home button and volume down when your phone is at the android logo?

Then it means you must install Samsung drivers, so that the computer would recognize your phone. Try downloading smart switch or kies and that should also install the drivers.
or try different ver. of odin

"device descriptor request failed when connected to pc" sounds like a windows problem not android. You can check in the "computer management" device manager to see if the phone is recognized. I am going to assume not.
