What do you mean by "it won't connect to my pc."
Does the phone boot into any mode? normal, recovery, download?
Does the pc recognize the phone at all?
I am assuming you have drivers installed on your pc.
Need more information on what problem you are experiencing. If you are able to get the phone to boot up and the pc won't recognize the phone, ie recognizes it as an unknown device in device manager, then you probably have the wrong drivers installed or have remnants of old drivers on your machine, which need to be cleaned out via regedit.
Anyway, this gets lengthy, however, if you can provide more information on the exact problem you are having I am sure someone can help.
Just as an example, I have an XP machine with proper drivers and the phone is always recognized after a normal boot. I have sdk on the machine at can utilize it with no problem. Until I need Odin and Download mode. Odin has nothing to do with it, the computer just drops the phone like a brick when you enter download. I walk across the office plug it into my laptop with Windows 7 flash up Odin and boom YELLOW. Back to stock. You will hear it both ways XP fails try Win 7 and viceversa.
But need more information to start.

Thanks.

Well what did you do prior to "bricking" it? What did you flash, etc.

Try a different USB port, different cable, and finally a Different computer.

Okay so what your saying is it will flash into: download mode If not and you see a black screen you could possibly try this so you will have to get an extra Mini USB to do so and a few other things: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rdn5GoRjhn0&feature=youtu.be
If you are able to go into download mode ect there is no need for the above to be done. Or you might want to try looking at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1153310
I am not responsible for what you do with this information though read through carefully to see if you want to take these steps on your device. From what I read and see some have had problems switching back to Odin when this program took over.
What Sendan has said here would probably help us more as I just jumped right into it for you. There may or may not be a need to do these steps listed here if we have more info on what is happening with your device.

Give me a detailed description of what you did, what you used, and what happens to it now.

Not sure if this will help, but I had a similar problem (PC wouldn't recognize phone in usb mode or download mode, Odin wouldn't connect, multiple cables had same result, remove/reinstall of Samsung drivers didn't help).
I ended up installing the Samsung drivers on a laptop that had never had them installed. Connection success! Was able to use Odin from that machine to flash back to stock Froyo/ED05.
After that, usb and download mode worked on the original PC. Same drivers that wouldn't work previously. Can't explain it, YMMV. It got me out of a jam.
Good luck.

maybe i freaked out. i put battery in just now and was able to boot into red recovery. yesterday i used it as an excuse to go buy a galaxy 2 on att. im trying an older backup. tried one a couple nights ago and it kept getting stuck. i have had the hardest time. started on a mac with heimdall and couldnt get it to work. went to a windows machine. couldnt get odin to work right with it. not sure now what i did to brick it. my win laptop i usually use is at my girlfriends. was just hoping to make this phone last til nexus prime.

Ok messing with it more. everytime i try something in recovery it will end up on the black screen with the phone to computer and the yellow sign between. heimdall (back on the mac) wont recognize it. not sure if i can do something in recovery

So Odin won't recognize your phone in download mode? You using the stock USB cord? Try different ports? Best thing would be to flash Stock ED05 and restart from there.

OK got it figured. Usb cord must be the problem. Now have cyanogenmod 7.1. But can't get gapps to install. Have tried rom manager and downloading it

And fixed gapps. Had to use power menu to recovery. So all fixed.

Help! Need to unroot + lock bootloader without USB

So my nexus won't charge unless its off.. and it won't connect to my computer either. I can't send it in to Sam's club (or can i?) if its rooted. I needdddddd some major help figuring out some way i can replace it... a way to unroot + lock the bootloader. Please? anyoneeeee? By the way... i have no idea how to use adb and stuff because i used a one-click script :/

Things like this is where I really hate how there are one click scripts.
If you aren't knowledgeable about what the tool is doing, don't do it.
Since its probably easier for you to just use another one click tool, use Wug Fresh's one click and use "Return to Stock"
Please, for the love of god, don't do this to your device if you don't know what you are doing.

He said he can't connect to his PC (broken USB port, I guess).
You may be able to unroot it, but you probably cannot lock the bootloader without USB. Sorry, I don't know of a way to.

OP, you could at least do a Factory data reset under Backup & reset in Settings. I doubt that that would lock and unroot the device, but I don't think Sam's Club would really care.

Is it because you need someone to set up the drivers and get ADB working on your computer?
Is your device recognized at all when you connect it to a computer?

You can probably try to factory reset, if you haven't flashed other ROMs.
Also, if you flashed ClockWork Mod bootloaders, Google how to root HTC One X.

I have adb set up... just no idea how to use it. No, it isnt.

I did factory reset... to no avail...

1. Did you install a custom Kernel or ROM?
2. Your computer doesn't even make any sort of "ding" sound when you plug the tablet in? How about if you slowly wiggle the cable around in the tablet?

Well if you managed to root your tablet using a toolkit then you're computer must have a functioning port. the toolkit probably has a return to stock option so run it. Factory/data resets will only wrote the data partition but will not touch system/bootloader. You will need access to a computer in order to fully return to stock with the bootloader locked.

Nope, it was running stock. Nope! It works if the device is OFF though.

How did you root it if your PC doesn't recognize it. Make sure adb is enabled in dev options. Also try typing "adb devices" in your computer after you have adb setup. If it doesn't work get the universal drivers from the dev section and reinstall the drivers.

Boot into the bootloader (Power+Volume down), does your computer detect anything at all?
Any unknown devices or familiar device names in "Device manager"?
Edit: It might be Volume up and down with power... Don't remember.... I always use ADB to go into the bootloader.

You had it right, volume down+power=bootloader.
Like a couple people said..you used a computer to get in you can use it to get out. I've pretty much screwed and unscrewed just about everything on this tablet..probably been in the same situation here too. Its a nexus device, I'd actually be impressed if you did something not easily fixable. Maybe a little more thorough explanation of exactly what you have done so far, how you've done it, and what you've done it with. Paint us a picture. Should be a very simple fix. Small details can make a huge difference.

I believe he is having the same problem that I am. It worked fine at one point(mine worked fine for two weeks), then something happened and now the usb port does not work while powered on. I cannot charge it or connect to a computer via usb while powered up. If i turn off the tablet, I can charge it. I have tried multiple cables/chargers with the same results. Originally I was able to connect via ADB to my computer with this tablet, but cannot anymore. Also, I swapped the usb port hardware out of my nexus 7 with my wife's nexus 7 to see if it was the plug. Same result. The port from my tablet works just fine in hers, but hers does not work in mine. I'm not sure what happened, but I cannot unroot/lock the device without the USB so I cannot return it. Very depressing.

Have you tried WugFresh's toolkit? There's a flash stock + unroot with a “can't boot up" option. Then you can relock the bootloader.

Does it require USB access?

Yea but not adb. Might even be able to start with tablet off. Not sure if either will work but its an easy start. You've used fastboot before right? It's easy. The toolkit thread will walk you through a couple simple steps. Again, don't get your hopes up it's just an easy start.

Google is your friend: http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGVS980

Thanks everyone root is successfully c:

Rooted went well... not the reboot
I was successful in rooting then attempted to install TWRP. The phone turned off then turned on with the "android open stomach and !" icon... it shut off a few mins later.
Now, all I get is the buzz when you power it on and a black screen. Im not able to enter the recovery mode using any combination of buttons.
LG Mobile Support Tool nor my computer will even recognize the device. Am I truly bricked beyond repair?

[Q] 5.0.2 stock unrooted not connecting to laptop

Before anyone complains id like to say that i have done research into this and searched through the forums for a thread on the same matter but i have not found one.
I have recently purchased a Nexus 4 (the most well designed and premium feeling phone ive ever owned) running completely stock unrooted android 5.0.2, however upon connecting it to two different laptops i have been unable to access my files on the device or connect to the nexus root toolkit to root it.
device manager tells me that it recognises the device but the drivers are not installed. all the phone does is charge when its plugged in unless i turn on usb debugging and this only makes the noise that it makes when any device is inserted.
any help with this will be much appreciated, cheers

Google 15 second adb install xda. That will install drivers as well as adb and fastboot. You don't need nrt to root it. Flash the twrp image in fastboot, then flash supersu in twrp. http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/mako. http://download.chainfire.eu/693/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.44.zip
