Hi all. I'm not a novice when it comes to rooting and flashing but I'm stuck on this one. A friend of mine tried to install CM11 on this phone, the LS980 and somehow really jacked it up. It's stuck in a bootloop, but I can get into download mode and stock recovery. All data has been wiped. I have tried using the LGFlash tool to install the stock tot and dll but it fails. It fails because the the tool says the file is the wrong model for the phone. Here's the thing, its not. But somehow the phone now thinks its a D802 instead of an LS980. (This happened during the CM11 attempt somehow) The flash tool fails every time. I even tried the D802 files and it started to flash but failed about a 1/4 of the way through. That confirms that the phone definitely thinks its a D802, weird. When I hook it up to the LG Support tool, it tells me the phone is a testmodel!
Needless to day I've tried everything I know how. ADB sideloads, different recoveries, and I've researched for hours on end. I have hope that there's still a solution. I would be golden if I could get a recovery on it, either TWRP or CWM. Any help is appreciated.
have the same problem. simply cant recover the recovery.

Hey guys, i need a little of help because i've never seen what happened to me, i will explain the entire process:
I have an E977 from Movistar Venezuela, it came with 4.2.1, after check everything was working at perfection (wifi, bluetooth, heat, etc.) i decided to root and unlock bootloaders to get into cyanogenmod 10.1 (i had a 4x HD and its very smooth with cm) so i used freegee to unlock bootloaders, installed TWRP and flashed the rom, everything perfect for a month or so, i saw the update of Paranoid Android to 4.3 and wanted to give it a shot so i downloaded it and the gapps, went into recovery, did my backup, wiped and flashed, everything working perfect but i didn't like it so i went into recovery again, did my wipes and perfomed the restore of my backup.
Now, i have a bootloop, the phone normaly showed the LG logo for about a second, turn the screen off, then on again and the OS started to load, but now i just see the logo, the screen turns of but it's not coming back -_-U i've tried to restore again and again and nothing, did wipes and tried to Paranoid Android again with no results, also tried with cm10.1, no results.
I can access the recovery and download modes, followed the guides provided here but i can't KDZ because the original firmware it's more than 1gb and the LG tool can't handle these files.
I read there's a mode to push files via adb when in TWRP, is there a way to "transform" the kdz into some file the TWRP can handle ? do i still have hope ?? I really need help, if you can help me, i will appreciate.
P.D. Also, i would like to know of there's a way to lock the bootloaders again so i can get the phone to warranty! In the worst case...
Did you try the LG Support Tool? It downloads and install the proper KDZ when entering into Emergency Mode.
A way is to restore a backup from another e977.
Another way would be if someone with an e977 would dump his rom to make a flashable zip.
Can't you try lg mobile tool?just put the phone in download mode and see if the tool detects it...

Okay, my phone is LG E988, and i followed the guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460859
I got until the TWRP part, managed to flash TWRP, and that is when the nightmares came out.
I used ROM Manager from the app store to get into recovery mode (With TWRP as recovery).
First try, i got into TWRP recovery page, but the touchscreen failed so i pulled out my battery and restarted the phone.
Got back to android screen, then wanted to go back recovery mode via ROM manager again.
This time, when i reboot into recovery, i got into CWM instead of TWRP. So i select "Reboot to system" to restart the phone.
Now is where all the **** starts. I'm stuck at the LG logo page with the message "boot certification verify".
Restart many times by pulling battery out but no avail. Then i went to factory reset the phone. After confirming factory reset, screen blacked out for a few sec then i went back to CWM. I cant find any backup either.
Tried all fixes from the forum but all not working. Cant extract .dz & .dll from .kdz because it cant (becomes corrupted).
Anyone can provide me with E988 Singapore .dll and .dz !!! NOW MY GOAL JUST TO MAKE IT BACK TO STOCK!!!
HELP ME FIX THIS PLEASE. MY DAD IS GONNA KILL ME !!
Note: Some might blame me for my own fault to tweak my E988, but someone said that customs for E980 can be used for E988. Please help
Edit: Still need the .dll and .dz please
So, i scoured the forums, searched for my error code and nothing...
I have a new E980 that I rooted, installed CWM on and left the stock ROM. Earlier today, I get a notification for an OTA update.
I figured I didn't desperately need root, so I unrooted through SuperSU, and said to hell with it, and accepted the update.
Phone reboots into CWM and is now only booting into it over and over.
I looked up how to recover from it, and I've been trying to flash it using LG Flashtool ver 1.5 and everything goes fine until I actually plug the phone in with download mode on and LG FT in the "Ready!" state. LG FT then starts to flash it, goes to 3%, immediately to 100% and then fails after 5 seconds. Error code F0000002. I tried everything over and over again and I get nothing.
I have my COM port set to 41 and LG Flashtool set up properly according to the tutorials.
Any ideas?
I had to use the LG R&D test tool to flash the panama rom then root & install CWM. With freegee and then restore my stock.E980 AT&T backup. Kept getting a "Previous loadfailed" error with LG flash tool.

So I have an LG G Pro F240l
So essentially, because I flashed the wrong recovery (the F240k, as that's what I thought the phone was), this means I have no recovery.
I cannot root my phone, because basically the recovery doesn't exist.
I can use adb.
I can't do anything after booting other than use ADB, because "LG IMS has stopped working" will constantly appear and impede my ability to achieve anything (this occured after flashing the new lolipop update, which while it technically worked, I should have done a factory reset before doing it.
KDZ files are only the roms, I can flash those fine.
I have a 4.4 rom, and the new lolipop build in terms of those files.
I am unable to locate the tot or dll files I need for my F240l
First, removing LG IMS would make life easier, as that should theoretically fix the problem, making the OS at least useable.
Secondly, how would I go about getting myself a recovery that works (even the stock recover), and flashing it without already having a recovery?
Is there a way I can temporarily root the phone without going into recovery at all?
Please help, I'd rather not have a $160 paperweight..
Edit: I've gotten the ROM working, but I still have no way to root or install a recovery.

Make sure you have LG Suite installed and of course all the drivers. Put the phone into download mode and engage Repair Upgrade Errors in LG Suite. You should get back to stock.

I just did this, all it did was re-flashed the same rom I already had (presumeably the .kdz) file. The recovery is still missing and only showing a an android with a compartment open and a red exclamation point.

This is a wild shot in the dark, but try holding vol down, home, power.. then wait for prompt and confirm hard reset with power button. then try the lg suite "repair upgrade" again while in download mode. Hope you can sort it out.
What I've done:
1. Tried LGNPST method but phone never showed up in the software
2. Tried flashing with LG official tool. That always resulted phone disconnected.[I did put my phone into download mode]
3.Tried almost all KDZ_FW_UPDATE methods they always stopped either in not responding-> close program OR extraction error
4. Tried sideloading using adb but they also resulted in "bad file" even push didn't work saying no permission to write(I think)
for adb I tried converted .zip of kdz using some guide in xda.
My phone is totally clean now. I can boot to Recovery or Download Mode. There's no file that's flashable right now. I'm in Philz touch recovery
This actually happened while I was flashing to unlock bootloader and charge went low.
I desperately want it to function properly. Please anyone with any new or updated methods, help me.
When normally trying to boot up, Google logo comes and phone switches off.
I was in F180L converted to E975.
I've INDIAN(20a) version kdz also european(10h) and korean(30e).
