Windows 10 and download mode - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I messed up somewhere while flashing a rom yesterday and got my vs980 soft bricked. Couldn't get into recovery, so I had to flash the 39a kdz.
I'm running a Windows 10 laptop and installed the drivers from lg site. I got it to where adb can see the device while the phone up and running. I copied over the files needed for root, and went into download mode. And now I can't get adb to see my phone.
Any help is much appreciated.

I think that you should go back to kk to root your g2 I did not succeed with that version of windows

[Q] Tried to update ATT G2 booted into TWRP, unable leave TWRP or go to Download mode

When I got my ATT G2 I rooted it, and installed TWRP custom Recovery. A week ago I got a system update notification, without thinking I updated the phone. It rebooted into TWRP recovery, and all I can do is navigate around the Recovery. I factory restored my phone, so I don't have SU, and I can't enter download mode. Any ideas on how I can fix my phone, or go about getting it replace?

You could try pushing a rom to twrp from adb if your PC doesn't recognize try Koush universal drivers to make it recognize

Could you give me instructinos on how I would do that?
I was having the same issue after accidentally installing an update on my VZW G2. I tried evey solution for 9 hours with no luck including the Koush universal drivers. The only way I could get the phone to be recognized by any computer was to use ubuntu. Once I had the JDK and SDK installed I ran the commands from this tutorial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
I hope this helps someone out
if you dont have ubuntu installed on a computer you could always make a live cd and run it from that

back to square 1

So I completely wiped my LG G2 ATT D800 via twrp after the OTA update made me bootloop. i am running TWRP 2.6.3.3. I would try and get back to stock via the flash tool but my PC wont read the phone. Device Manager Says LG-D800 but has the happy little triangle next to it! I don't have ADB on my pc so i think the sideload option is out.
right now i will try and learn anything to fix this phone. so please give me some feed back. Right now all i can do is boot to TWRP. I can not get to download mode. so please give me some options where or how to get ADB and what to do with it. I have installed every driver available but no dice. Maybe because it in TWRP. idk. Thanks guys.

Try installing adb from android SDK...very simple and sideload a ROM...my guess would be easiest....for your PC recognizing your phone do you have the drivers installed? Try koush universal drivers?...or try going to download mode and flash to stock ....hope this helps

[Q] G2 VS98012B CDC driver not installing. I've tried many different drivers

I've been trying to go back to VS98011A by using a flash tool and .TOT file but I have not been able to install the drivers. The phone installs 3 out of four drivers while in download mode. Does anyone know what may be going on ? The device was rooted before the OTA and after the OTA I rerooted with the IORoot tool, which makes no sense why the drivers aren't installing on windows but they were working on Ubuntu when I rerooted.
Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] Please help... D800 flashed to D802

So I am not sure what I did, but I was just trying to flash the Grievous ROM earlier and it would not work, just kept going to a black screen on start up even though I didn't get any errors when installing. I retardedly forgot to make a backup so I have nothing to go back to. I tried to go into download mode to restore through the LG tool, and amazingly somehow it now says my phone is a D802.
I can still get into recovery and download mode and haven't seen fastboot yet, but I can't get my computer to recognize my phone in adb or sideload while in the recovery menu... Not sure what to do. It sucks that this phone doesn't have removable SD.
Anyone got any ideas? I've looked through other threads of people who have had this problem and luckily(I think) I still haven't got to fastboot. I was thinking if I can just get the stock files on there I can flash it in TWRP without having to even use the LG Flashtool, but I am at a loss for how to get the stock ROM on my phone.
WHAT DO I DO?
Install the kernel for the d800. To hey your phone to be recognized in recovery you will need the proper drivers, try pdanet. Drivers
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
Okay I successfully got adb to work in the TWRP menu with the pdanet drivers, and I pushed the stock rom .zip to my phone but it won't let me flash it. Where do I get just the stock kernel?
Nevermind, got the ATT stock rooted rom from scotts site to push and install, which still gave me a black screen but afterwards but made download mode work, so got it back to stock! YAY!

No OS. PLEASE HELP!!

Well im kinda new to the rooting thing but I believe my phone was only soft rooted. I was trying to install twrp but I got a dead android with a explanation mark or it would go to a black screen after the lg logo.i didn't know I was soft rooted when I was trying this. so after awhile I gave up. my phone still booted normally without trying to go into recovery. recently an update for android came out ( kitkat 4.4.2) so I decided to see if it would work. it restarted the phone to install the update and it got stuck in fastboot mode. i managed to find a way to install twrp using fastboot and adb. i did it but the touch screen was all funked up and i ended up wiping the system i think. just cant win. twrp wont mount the drive eiher. maybe because i have Ubuntu?

well first the reason your phone died is because of the update you did after you had broken your stock recovery, if you have twrp currently there are two things you need to do:
1)get rid of the update using this
2)adb push/sideload a rom and try to flash or try and get in download mode to restore to stock

no fastboot is only for restoring the phones stock partitions but if you use twrp sideload feature it should flash it once it's done copying it(I know that's how it works with philz)
