have you ever tried to format sdcard while your phone is connected to laptop?
if you have another pc/laptop you can use it.
you need computer to unlock bootloader then i dont think you need it much.so if your computer not working you can use any other computer because its one time method.
and also i have same problem as you had.so i found one software on internet (i couldnt remember it now) that can remove drivers from your com.so you can manually remove drivers and reinstall them so that ll might work.
(for me i have to format my laptop then atlast my phone recognised by it)
Thanks for your help...

which ruu you chose?
is there custom recovery installed on your phone?
see ruu works like mentioned:
you can chose any ruu,if you make goldcard and also set bootloader to locked state and then supervision with bl-tool.
and you wanted to root your phone so why ruu?
Hey everyone!
Sorry, I am new to this forum and I tried looking to see if this was already answered but no luck. If you guys can help me or direct me in the right direction I will greatly appreciate it.
recently I tried rooting my device using Odin. Everything seemed like it worked. I can go into cwm recovery mode, and I have rooted the device (superuser privileges) However, now everytime I connect my device to my PC it doesnt connect and I cannot access my files. So I am not sure what to do, because I cant reinstall the stock rom nor can I flash any custom rom either.
Please help.

This might not be the soulation your looking for but this will allow access to files and enable you to download a custom rom again. You can get a micro sd card reader online for about three dollars for a real cheap one and with that card reader you can put your sd card into it and plug the reader into the usb port of your computer. You will then have the ability to access all your files and it mounts as storage devive so if you download a rom to your computer you can easily share it and download it to sd card with the card reader.just press share file and choose the card reader which will Mount as a disk drive . Once the file is shared then you put the sd card back in your phone and flash as usual. I have to use this method myself because my devive is not being recognised correctly by my computer. This method works very well and is one soulation to your problem. Hope this was helpful.my card reader is cheap but works very well. Its by so.cal trade and is simply called duel slot micro sd card reader. Best wishes.

If your computer does NOT recognize the phone then you need to install the official samsung usb drivers
which can be found here: http://developer.samsung.com/android/tools-sdks/Samsung-Andorid-USB-Driver-for-Windows
If your computer DOES recognize your phone then you need to download a custom rom directly to your
phone and go into recovery and flash the custom rom.
Good luck!
Wow, I never thought of that. Thanks alot i will get the micro card reader very soon. Thanks
Thanks! I tried installing the drivers and Kies but no luck. It will still not recognize my phone. Not sure why. Thanks

Try toggling USB Debugging on or off, whichever its at right now.
Also, specify what OS you're using.

^^^^ What he said, You have to have debugging enabled. To do that, go to setting>scroll down to about phone and tap>scroll down to build # and tap it 7 or more times to enable developers options.Go back to previous screen and there will now be a "developers options". Tap that and scroll down to USB de-bugging and tick enable.Plug in the USB and it should recognize the phone in a few seconds. Good luck!

Ive tried all the above also and still not recongised thus im using the card reader. I have all the correct drivers and settings as well. The card reader is a work around. Sounds like your in the same situation as I am with phone not recongised. So try the card reader. At least you can still flash roms and access files with it. Has the same ability. Really hope this helps you.

Hello:
I just got me an LG G pro E988 and rooted it using the "ZV9-ZVB-Universal-Root" it worked very smooth and nicely,
and downloaded ""FreeGee Free **ROOT Required**"" after booting to recovery made a backup using ""FreeGee Free **ROOT Required**""
then rebooted to verify the backups after reboot, using explorer+ to enter data folder, true to the work, I was able to find the backup I just made, at the internal sd card, data/media/TWRP folder 2GB+!!! but then but then I saw the kitkat! and got excited to upgrade, downloaded the ROM from Cyanogen and saved in my external SD, then I booted to recovery and in the recovery mode at the **Teamwin** menu I wiped and formatted data, system, dalvik, internal storage!!! (I wish I had not done!!) then I clicked install, but ""FreeGee Free **ROOT Required**"" teamwin"" could not locate my new kitkat rom! the external SD card is not visible, so I thought ok let's restore the new backups!!! but the "teamwin" could not even find its own backups!!!! the folder under data\media\TWRP is just vacant nothing in there and no options either just the back button!!! now I can not even do a hard reset to restore by factory reset either because there is an error message and a success boot!!! the "teamwin" boots successfully LOL!!!! I even tried the latest LG PC Suite to restore but the drivers for MPT can not get installed keeps on failing to install so could not even transfer my ROM .zip files to the internal SD to try to install from zip....!!! my device has been rendered USELESS!!! please help, Anyone I am hoping for advise and sulotion!!???? tnx and please in case of any advise just email me at [email protected]
Hi
Don't worry you can solve this using adb sideload you will be able to transfer files to your phone
http://teamw.in/ADBSideload
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CivvxcM1PCY
thanks for advise
thank you so much for your reply
I did read and watched the video in the links you sent me, but my version of the recovery is "team win recovery project
v2.6.3"what they are using and discussing is v2.6.3.1 which comes with a usb mount mine does not have the option or
it is not capable of mounting a usb device I could have transferred the ROM image to the internal sdcard! and my computer
fails to recognize the MPT port and fails to install the drivers for it so no luck yet in using the adb push! or if I am doing
anything wrong please help if you can.
even the LG PC suit is not detecting the my device properly, even when I connect to LGMobile Support Tool and
change the language and country to Singapore! ( its where I have bought the device!) and install the drivers for LGE988
which is the exact unit I have, it does detect the device for a few seconds and goes up to %18 but then it says disconnect
your device and remove the battery and place it back in the device while holding the restart button! I follow exactly as
instructed but when I plug it in again as instructed it goes few more % but again keeps on saying the device is disconnected
RETRY and I keep on retrying with no luck, that's all what it does!!!
I hope you or other guys who have had the same problem with me could help and share experience to solve this little
BIG problem
Thank you very much for the taking time to help....

If I'm not wrong u will have to put some rom in your internal memory and flash it with custom recovery. Find a way to do that and best of luck.

Thanks for your reply but i am looking looking for a way to put some rom in the internal memory of the phone as there is no card slot in the phone. And it would be really appreciated if anyone can help me.
what I recommend is, download a stock rom ftf (.96 maybe) put you phone is flash mode and then flash it using flashtool and voila!

Dude its not recognized because of the drivers, either try to download the drivers for your phone separately and install them on your computer, try to change the USB cable and must use the cable that came with the phone, try connecting it to a different computer, install ADB on the computer and check the device by giving the ADB device detect command (this will only work if you have ADB drivers on your computer for the device... I guess this should help you.

3. Put the ftf file in flashtool/firmware directory
4. Run flashtool, click on flashmode () and choose your ftf from the list then click on next or ok or something
5. Power off your phone
6. While you connect your usb press volume down button
7. Then the pop up window Will close and the installation will begin
8. When it's done it will write: plug down your phone and turn it on etc etc.
If it's difficult, try to reinstall with Sony companion

I just had to deal with this myself. You should plug the device into the computer with the device off. Turn it on and let it try to boot and Windows should try loading the driver for it. Hold power and volume up just long enough for the screen to go off and unplug it.
If your drivers are loaded you should be able to go into recovery, mounts and storage, and mount the sd card with it plugged into the computer. It should mount and you can put a rom on the sd and flash.
If it will not mount then your drivers are still not installed. If ftf is the way you want to go then load flash tool and plug in the device while off holding volume down. It should recognize the device. It will not stay in flash mode long. Best way is set up your flash and once ready plug the device in. Hope you get it going again as I am sure you will. Just be patient :good:
Hopefully this will help
First of all use Windows 7 32-bit
Most probably it is a driver related issue.
Download latest flashtool and install all the drivers.
Also check weather you have automatic updates of Windows are ON.
Check in the device manager if all the devices connected are recognized.
When you connect the phone to PC does it show any message or feedback sound.
While using the flashtool use flash mode, also when asked to reboot in flashmode carryout the following steps
Unplug the phone.
Switch it off/ If already switched off make sure it is completely off no icon nothing.
then connect the phone and switch on by holding both Vol Up and power button, you will see green LED glow.
My LG E980 is bricked. I can access download mode and that is it! I am unable to boot into recovery,
and the hard reset screen simply sits there forever. My computer only recognizes my device as an "unknown usb device."
I'm unsure what can be done about this, but I feel like this is better than the infamous QHSUB icon displayed when the device cannot be recovered.
Does anyone have a remedy for this problem?? I have GOT to fix this phone and can't afford to Jtag the device, but I'm losing hope that this is possible, PLEASE help. :crying:

Happened to me.
1. With the phone on download mode and plugged in the computer; uninstall the unknown device on your computer using device manager. The computer should try to get the drivers for your phone.
2. If it doesn't. Repeat step one and install the drivers first.
That worked for me hopefully I'll work for you.

I do have a 16gb sd card, but I can pick up at 32 gb sd at my local best buy. I have an Asus laptop running windows 8 and it has an SD card reader. I am a little confused (semi-noob) as to how this will work because my phone will boot up, and the led changes colors on the home button for about 4 seconds and then the light stops flashing. The phone is stuck on the LG boot screen, and there is no way out of it but to pull the battery or to reset with power button. Of course no recovery as previously mentioned. I really just want to get back to stock, but I can't manage to get both the windows 8 computers I've tried to detect the phone in download mode. Ever since I switched to the Candykat rom 4.4 the computer wasn't able to recognize the phone, even when the phone was fully functional inside the rom.
I have tried it on my dads windows 7 laptop as well with no dice. Instaled LG drivers, uninstalled LG Drivers, uninstalled device from the Device Manager. I've done everything I could think of. I previously was in a Philz touch recovery, but every rom I tried to flash wouldn't work. I tried to flash another recovery from inside it and then the device bricked like it is now. What a head ache. If you think this method would work, I am more than willing to try it, just unfamiliar with what I need to do on my end.
Okay

I will give your method a shot, but I have done this a lot already. The only thing I can think of is I usually unplug the phone from the computer right after deleting the drivers and uninstalling in device manager. Maybe I should just leave the phone plugged in and see if the computer automatically downloads the drivers, but I don't think it will because I've tried to update the drivers before. It gives me an error code "10" and says the device has malfunction or stopped working This phone has been undetectable via USB since flashing the candykat 4.4 rom. Every computer I've tried (3) and every USB cable (3 again) has displayed it as an "unknown device"

I dont know lg's download mode, kdz, tot etc all that well. im more of a samsung guy. however qualcomm since the s4 chipset has allowed for sdcards that are properly formatted to boot the os instead of the internal emmc. here is a decent guide, just need to make teh image for this device. this will let your device boot no matter how bad it gets you are welcome to try with 16gb, the rule of thumb i know of is as big as teh emmc is use that same size or larger sdcard, however some people have had sucess withs maller, just not many that i know of. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2439367
however afaik the only way to reflash teh bootloader partitions is via kdz/download mode so perhaps the sdcard will let you get into that mode and then you can flash, so long as you keep your sdcard like that it will boot fully, but in order ot get your sdcard back you need to repair teh files on your phone .

Wow, that sounds awesome. I followed most of that. I access download mode on the device by pressing vol up and down simultaneously and plugging in the usb cable. I am more willing to try this, and if it works I will pay you from my paypal. I guess all I need now are those files to run to the sd card. I read the tutorial you posted for the samsung and downloaded the windows disk manager. I am eager to try this method, though it is admittedly very new to me.. If you can post those files, I will follow the instructions you give and pay you a little bit of money for your help!
I am a broke college student so it won't be much, but I really appreciate your response and information on this method with the qualcomm s4.
Here is the unbrick image. follow the guide for your platform (gunna guess windows) and write this to your sdcard after backing it up. from there you need to restore your partitions by flashing them .

I followed that guide, but am I supposed to go to download mode instead of just powering on the device?
I got a little confused by the samsung jargon lol. I just want to know after I've written the unbrick.zip to the sd card
how do I get my phone to recognize the card is there? And once I am able to do that how do I "restore my partitions by flashing them?"
I do have the factory firmware set to flash through lg flashtool, but the phone can't be detected of course due to the usb issue.
Just want to say thanks for walking me through it this far, I feel like I'm close hopefully but unsure what to do next.

you wrote the image to the sdcard? i wonder if its because you still have the low level bootloaders that it may not be booting from the sdcard, normally this is done to fix qhusb errored devices. as for restoring the partitions all you would need to do is one its booted up push the unbrick image to the phone and use rooted adb shell to write it back onto your phone.
Possible hope??

I meant I used the windows tool to write the debrick.img to the sd card. But no dice, the device isn't recognised.
However! I installed a driver clean up tool and now if I plug in the device it is recognized as Android Original ADB Interface.
The LG Flashtools even says the port is ready! But I get the error code "10" "device cannot start, A request for the USB device descriptor failed."
So now I am stuck on that instead lol. This just sucks.
that sucks about the sdcard, it must be because you arent "truly" bricked. sorry i thought it would help ya :/.
What is the driver repair tool you used? I know this thread is old but I'm having the same problem. I was trying to root my E980 and now my computer wont recognize my device. The phone works perfect, its just when I plug it in to the computer it isnt recognized. How can I fix this?

Just wondering if anyone's come across a solution to this besides a sledge hammer... been having the same "Code 10: Device failed to start" when in Download Mode, though Windows finds a driver fine when the phone is stuck on the LG screen... doesn't help much, though, 'cause it won't receive adb commands. I manually installed the LG USB Composite Device driver, which added a modem and a COM port, both of which Windows recognized to be active, but the LG FlashTool USB Viewer showed no open pipes. I'm a relative noob, so please feel free to point out the obvious, like an alternative to adb that the phone can always receive or a way to brick it the rest of the way so the MicroSD trick will work.
I came across this problem like the OP and just wanna let everyone know that you have to use computer with USB 2.0 port then the driver issue would be fixed.
