[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.

No there is no problem with your USB cord or port. You need to do following steps.

[Q] Gionee E7 (32GB) got bricked

I tried to downgrade from Kitkat to JB via flashtool this morning which I often successfully flashed with the same method. But while the flashing is going on and almost finish the flashing (system.img, userdata.img, etc. are already flashed), there seems to be some problem and popped out that the flashing is fail. And then the device does not boot up. While I tried to reconnect the device to PC, the PC cannot recognize the device as shown in the picture. Unable to process any further method. Does anyone in this forum knows how to recover the bricked device like this?

The phone starts? In a black screen?
If the PC detects it like that the phone has some energy and connection...
Does anything apears on the screen? Can you go to the Recovery Mod?
Have you tried to force the driver installation on that USB item that appears on device manager?
Do you have access via ADB or fastboot?
Did you nottest in what partition did the error message appeared?
Please provide some answers to these questions so i can try to help you...

Nothing on the screen. Not able to boot into recovery or adb is not working. The phone is just death. But, when I insert the usb cable, the pc can detect it. I even approach the Customer Care here in Aizawl, but they cannot fixed. Even when I followed the instruction as per one xda member posted here, The qualcom hs - 9006/8 is displayed on the device manager and when I tried to flashed it with emergency mode, the result always the same. FAILS

Try this:
- Start GNQC with the phone disconnected
- Connect the Phone and see GNQC recognizes the QLoader
- If so, press power button until the phone vibrates
- Wait for the GNQC recognizes again the QLoader and press Download on Emergency Mode
Use this KIKAT ROM: https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B8H5JoBDpTnJMGE2QTJPR0FWX0E
This worked for me, i had the phone completly died, not even recognized by the PC, waited a day and tried again.
Once the QLoader is recognized your good to go!!
I'm having another problem after that, now theres no GSM/3G signals....
I need a EFS backup with the TWRP recovery.... No one seems to have

I have the same problem, screen is completely black after trying to instal newer official rom. When I connect it to PC, it detects "hid device". I tried power + volume buttons combinations, but nothing changes. Sometimes notification led turn red for a few seconds but nothing else. And once win xp randomly detected phone as that "q..." thing, but it doesn't anymore. What else can I do?

Can anyone help me? I tried everything and my phone is still hardbricked.

Hello guys
Today i received my E7 and i tried to update via the tool unfortunately something went wrong and now i cant open it nor fastboot or recovery. Some hours ago i tried to connect via usb and appeared on the GNQC but later it showed as unknow device. It was my first day with the phone. Right when i connect /disconnect the usb i can hear the sound but i cant do anything. Is it dead or i can revive it somehow?
It was the first day:crying::crying:

Reinstall the drivesbob the PC, press 30 secs on the power button than connect the phone to the PC. If appears a QLoader port use emergency download on gnqc 1.6.9.0

Need Help with hard brick

Well. First things first. the root of the issue is probably a bad usb port i guess as it's very unstable it even sometimes reboots into download mode on its own when i plug my phone to charge or even gives a Not charging state until i replug it many times then it gives the normal charging (AC) so it's a really messy one.
that's the usual anyway i was rooted and flashed a lollipop rom normally then bugged some apps so i decided to reflash stock kitkat rom however like i said it's a bad usb connection so sometimes the flashing goes slowly and i have to replug the cable for it got smoothly again.
this time i noticed this at 15% and instead of staying in download mode stuck at that the phone rebooted and ofcourse this time only a black screen no download mode no recovery no nothing i guess a typical hard brick? this is my first time dealing with a hard brick so i didn't know what to do at all so i'm still figuring out stuff anyway i installed Qcomm drivers and checked the device manager it's the 9006 one not the 9008 and it shows many drives on my pc (windows 7 64-bit) but no partitions in windows xp 32-bit on another pc and on the laptop it gives no drives i think. i tried with SRK tools it says everything as it should but when it's done i unplug the cable then reboot however still shows many partitions and no download mode.
I don't use my phone alot however i don't own another one so i kinda need help fast please so if anyone has any ideas don't hesitate please.
Thanks in advance.:good:
Update: After following the linux method i now don't have a black screen only stuck on lg logo and still no download mode.
the phone isn't recognized by the pc at all not even 9006 or 9006
the recovery gets stuck at processing and it doesn't say fastboot either on the logo screen.

You must have flashed wrong version of the rom .
After trying the linux method, if you cant get into fastboot mode, recovery or not in download mode, then try this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
This requires you to open your phone so be cautious .

Thanks I followed that guide. Download mode after. Using the Windows tool instead of Linux then flash tool normally.

Galaxy s4 i9500 doesnt connect to pc. Stuck in bootloop. No recovery or safe mode.

Okay so here goes. I've looked at the forums searching far and wide for anything that may help.
The problem is I have an S4 that had some battery problems. (swollen) so i replaced it out for a new one. The shop that I bought it from claimed that it was an original replacement battery (I live in Pakistan so finding an original battery was hard for me). So the phone worked fine for about half a month and now it's acting weird.
1. It seems to be stuck on a boot loop. but sometimes will start and run for a few minutes (random amount of time) and then go back into the reboot phase.
2. the phone does not go into recovery mode. The recovery screen pops up for a second followed by a no command screen and then phone goes back to boot loop.
3. the phone doesnt go into safe mode either. So i cant check if its a app related problem.
I tried to then flash a new recovery or the stock rom. The phone doesn't connect to odin/ nor Dr.fone for android.
-> Windows doesn't install the MTP drivers even though i have the latest version of KIES installed.
-> I have checked with a replacement battery the problem still persists.
Please HELP!!

Boot it into download mode, then try connecting it to a PC.

@GDReaper
The phone goes into download mode but the computer doesn't recognize it. It doesn't connect to odin and it says mtp drivers aren't installed..
