[Q] I'm SO LOST PLEASE HELP!

I own an LG G2, i recently got this phone yesterday from a person on craiglist. Don't worry i didn't pay him i gave him my older phone i dont use anymore. SO This phone is practically stuck in Firmware Update (As i read that post) , i spent about a day and half figuring it out and what happens is that.
I CAN get into recovery its TWRP v2.7.0.0 by Turning off the phone first and then Holding Vol UP, Power, Vol Down at the same time until the LG Logo comes up and then i am still holding them down, and it says Recovery Mode please wait and bam TWRP.
But heres the problem i can't mount my OTG and i can't ADB Sideload. So what do i do from here?? this guy rooted this phone and soft bricked it i think? and he wiped the phone but i also did when i had the chance and wiped it completly via recovery.
The only way i got into "Download Mode" / "Firmware Update" was to take the back cover off and unscrew a few screws on the side and unclip the battery for a few seconds and then plugged it back in and then I held the VOl UP button and plugged my USB into the phone and the other end is in my PC. My phone says "Download Mode please wait" and then prompted with the Firmware Update screen. BUT my pc doesnt detect the phone whatso ever and i've already installed drivers and etc from this forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 ) its the 2015 method that i downloaded.
so what do i have to do, i havent tried using different usb cables, the port seems fine to be plugged in since in TWRP it says 84+ so i meant its charging right? help me out guys idk what else to do or flash or anything.

I think the methods leave out that you need to change your phone to com port 41 on device manager > ports in order to be detected. Then you need to unplug it and reconnect to computer when the program shows waiting for device, with the phone in download mode already.
Also, to get to recovery you hold vol down and power, when the LG logo comes up release power and hold it again until the reset screen comes up.
To get to download mode you turn the phone off then hold up while plugging the USB cord in with it connected to pc... This launches download mode.

Well you see man , I cant change anything in Device Manager since my phone isn't being detected. It didn't install drivers fully fully since my phone isnt recognized. Even in TWRP or "Download Mode/ Firmware Update" Nothing happens no drivers installing or anything even but it does boot it up to that point....and its just normal boot up i see the LG logo and my led goes from green to blueish in a smooth transition and it doesnt stop until i turn it off. The method i got into recovery is holding all those buttons down its not a problem for me to get into it. I also have another problem it doesn't seem to want to mount my usb otg by samsung.

what do i do
So i tried the otg route but I can't mount it. I have everything connected and once I go into recovery to mount usb-otg, nothing happens.
I just need some way to get a ROM.zip in my phone
Computer does not recognize my phone.
Stuck at LG logo unless I enter recovery.
Sideload doesnt work.
OTG doesnt work.
I've tried at least 4 different guides with no luck.

Why don't you manually install drivers from online?

ive tried

ive tried that already and it doesnt list anything from the LG folder.
I realized the phone will say start the adb sideload feature. so, when i put the "abd sideload file.zip" command on my pc i just wait a few minutes and it says daemon not running on port 5037 and then start successfuly and then error :device not found.
it can seem to reognize my device wether its in recovery, or download mode or fastboot mode.

Try again in other pc that has never been conected to an LG Phone before. It can perfectly be a conflict with drivers installed in the OS.

I've tried man
AFter i cleaned the usb port in one of the chats or forums, i waited a day ovbiously without turning on the phone and cleaned the usb port with alchohal and a q tip and i plugged my phone into my computer and my PC detected something but it only says "Unknown Device" everytime no matter what pc i use it says that. nothing else. but before that none of my pcs would detect theirs a phone plugged in at all.

[Q] Gionee Elife E7 bricked without reason

Hello everyone! This is my first thread here. I hope you can help me and that maybe in the future I can also help somebody here. I tell you my problem and I hope it's not to confusing.
I have a problem with my gionee elife e7 (32GB). The problem occured without a obvious reason. My girlfriend was using the phone which was running android 4.4 Kitkat (stock). So one day it just stopped booting. There is just a black screen and I can't enter recovery mode or factory mode by pressing buttons on the device. At least I tried unsuccessfully. Anyway the device vibrates If I hold the power button and also it is recognized by my PC. This is why I am hoping to be able to restore the smartphone again by flashing a new rom.
The device is recognized as "gionee android composite adb interface". I tried to flash the ROM with the gionee download tool but unfortunately the tool says "open COM ports fails". So I tried to deinstall all COM-ports on my PC without this problem going away. Sometimes - I don't know why - The tool doesn't show this error. But then the tool doesn't find my device when I plug it in.
Also I tried to get access to the Smartphone via ADB or Fastboot without luck. The PC didn't recognize the device.
I tried everything with Windows 8.1, Windows 7 and Windows XP via Virtualbox.
All in all I have no idea left about how to repair the smartphone. I hope some of you can help me with this. Does anybody know how I can access the smartphone again and reinstall the Android System on it?
Thank you very much

try pressing the power plus volume + and volume - simultaneously, release only the power when the phone vibrates and wait bout 10 secs pressing the volume keys. Then release them and plug the phone to the PC and check if the QLoader driver is loaded. If so try flashing in Emergency Mode.
Let me know how it went...

tried
Wrong description!

Thank you for your help! The result was that the device vibrates constantly every 3 sconds after I stop to press the powerbutton und keep pressing the Volume + and - buttons together. As soon as I release them it stops vibrating. In the Device manager it still shows the "gionee android composite adb interface".
I tried to do the same with the device plugged into a USB. What I then recognized was that the Status-LED was blinking red every second . After 10 seconds of pressing the buttons there was a little break in the blinking (like the device would try to restart or something). As I didn't get any changes in the device-manager I disconnected it. After that it stopped to blink and doensn't blink anymore if I do the exact same thing again. it only vibrates now.
I'm sorry that this might be a tough case! Anyway I am thankfull for your advice!

But do you have access to the via ADB?

If you have ADB access you can try:
Code:
adb shell
su
setprop sys.usb.config diag,adb

I'm not familiar with ADB but I tried to get access to it via Minimal ADB and Fastboot. Even though the smartphone is recognized as ADB Composite Device in the device manager, it don't get any connection (as shown in the screenshot)

Sometimes my TN7 goes like this, I hold the power button down for around 10s, then try and power it on again.

In my case flashing TWRP through WinDroid helped.

Cut the outer rubber and metal covering of usb cable.
Strip a small portion of the black and green wires carefully preferably using a needle to avoid the copper wires to be torn.
Then plug the usb jack into the pc and phone and keep mi flash tool open.
Then touch both the wires(shortcircuit the green and black) using a needle or blunt edge of knief for about 4-5 sec and then remove.
The phone must be in 9008 mode now with COM port open in miflash tool

My hard brick z2 is not even coming up as 900E. Basically computer doesn't detect and no changes in device manager either. Please confirm what to do.
I have tried pressing buttons told by many others and in various other forums. It doesn't work. Does deep flash cable method work even if the phone is not detecting in 900E mode?

You have to boot in proper edl mode...for edl mode hold volume up button 15 second and immediately click power button for .5 sec and attach data cable to phone which is connected to pc and & immediately prees again power button. all while procees alway hold volume up button....

Zuk Z2 Pro Stuck in EDL HS-USB 9008 Port and automatically connecting and disconnect
Hi,
My Zuk Z2 Pro is stuck in EDL 9008 Port. Phone is totally bricked and no sound, no light, no vibration. When i connect with the computer, phone is connecting on HS USB 9008 port and get disconnected after 20-22 seconds and again automatically connected with in half second time.
I am facing this issue after flashing a ZUI 1.9 by using a QPAST/QFIL application. I think i have made stupid mistake by flashing a phone with "ERASE ALL BEFORE DOWNLOAD" option.
I have tried every scenario to get stable this 9008 port but no luck. Since last 5 days i am studying forums and applying every kind of solution but same result.
I am writing this post with high expectations and hope someone will take notice and help me to get rid of this problem.
I can pay through paypal if someone wants to provide professional services to resolve this matter
I will appreciate if someone have any idea and can help me. Thanks

Can someine please help me with this weird situation? Device got disconnected while flashing via qfil. Now no zuk logo nothing. Phone vibrates every 30 sec that's it. Wont even gets recognized by my laptop(no 9008 or 900e port!)

I've tired that also. Connecting phone to pc while green and black wires attached together and detaching them after 5 sec. That also did nothing. However i connect my phone to my pc it just vibrates and blinks led every 30 sec till i remove battery!

You need to completely poweoff the phone (difficult in hard brick actually) before this procedure i have forgotten the way to do it, was given on zuk.eu i think, dont worry it may take time but these days hard bricks is repairable too.

What do you mean by perfect timing?!?
Never mind. Got my laptop to recognise it and flashed successfully.
Don't know what made it to change its mind!?
What happened?
- was trying to flash and cable got disconnected by accident.
- my phone started to vibrate and blink at the same time for every 30 sec(no zuk logo nothing) and can't seems to be stopped.
- laptop doesn't seems to recognise when device gets connected (no 900e or 9008 port shows up at device manager)
What I did?
- Reinstalled my windows (no problem for me as I only keep system files on partition c)
- Disabled driver verification (windows 10 thing)
- Installed zuk driver, adb , mi tools inside partition c(all inside a folder called zuk)
- used cable that came with phone instead of 3rd party to deep flash

Okay fine, somebody suggested me to flash stock ROM via qpst method, because I was having battery issues, the flashing process stopped, and I forgot to untick clean all and lock, this left my phone with a screen saying, 'unable to boot'. PC is not detecting my device now, but earlier I unlocked bootloader and flashed tw recovery, but I wasn't able to boot to it, and on qpst, my phone is detected as Diagnostic Port 900E.

my phone is bricked while flashing stock rom via fastboot
so unable to boot to recovery or bootloader

To begin with, power off your device. If you can’t do so, then you will have to wait until the battery completely drains out.
Now connect one end of the USB cable to your PC, but don’t attach the other end to the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons together for a few seconds.
Now connect the other end of the device to the USB cable.
Your device will now be recognized as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. You may now flash the device-specific firmware to unbrick it.
Even you have a black screen , PC does recognize your phone . Use only a USB 2.0 port . Verify if Qualcomm USB Driver have been installed on Windows .
