So recently my phone broke down, it stucks on LG logo when I boot it.
I tried using kdz updater but it kept giving me PHONE NOT FOUND. Installed msxml. Also install LG driver v3.10 but something seem wrong about it. It's installed as a 32bit app instead of 64bit (I'm using Windows 8 x64).
Any ideas on this problem?
Sometimes windondows 8 don't work with kdz ...try TO reboot your PC after installed driver ....if doesn't work try TO use an other pc

Well, I can still use fastboot. Are there anyway to flash ROM/Recovery with fastboot?
Used softbrick east tools but didn't work.
OK. So I've managed to get my phone detected but even after KDZ flash it still didn't work. It got stuck at LG logo with all 4 soft buttons blinking? Anyone know what that means?

Does that mean I should do a hard reset or the phone is doing a hard reset?

Yeah. Only fastboot and emergency mode.
I've managed to flash it with KDZ now. But it's not fixed even after a flash.
Also, by "hard reset" did you mean the entering stock recovery? Or it just hard reset when you hold the buttons long enough and nothing will be displayed?
When you press vol-, call button, power button, the phone do a hard reset, it shows a android image

Can you wipe data in recovery at all? As long as you can get into Download mode, there's always a way to save the device by flashing back to stock and starting again, so don't lose hope.
Let me try why is the twrp recovery touch not working

Honestly, I have never, ever had any luck with TWRP, and I've tried it many times on many devices. It looks great, but it's just not as reliable as the good old CWM recovery. This isn't to start a flame war with TWRP fans. I'm just stating my observations over the last few years of trying it.
I am with you I have been flashing for years this is the first time this has happened. Now I am in the process of going back to stock with a slow ass computer. Thanks

If you can get into download mode by pressing both volume keys while plugging in the usb cable connected to your PC, then you are not bricked, just do a factory image flash and start over, it happens even to the more experienced.
I btw use CWM but I don't flash ROM's that much.

You also posted the same issue in at least 3 different posts. Limit it to one post and you might get more response.
I had that happen with one of the TWRP files floating around here. If you wanna use TWRP, you need the hacked e986 one which works splendidly on my e980. Hardcore CWM fan, myself, but I love the ease of just using the touch screen.

I can use the recovery now but I made my backups in cwm it will not let me restore them. How can I install cwm back on my phone with just being able to boot in to recovery

How do I flash back to stock I saw 2 different ones one seems complicated like you have to change the time and unplug your computer from the internet the other one did not say all that stuff do you have a link I wish there was a way to use the backup I have on my phone but I made it with cwm but now I have twrp

If you have an SD card you can download the CWM .zip from here, put it on your card and flash that from within TWRP. Then you just have to reboot the recovery, wipe and restore. This is the CWM included in FreeGee. I personally tested this version for @Shelnutt2 a while back and have used the .zip a few times, since.
I did it and it worked thanks

Just a question..... Freegee installs 2.6.1.0 TWRP, what is the difference btw this and hacked madmack TWRP?
I had installed cwm with freegee then I flashed philz touch. everything was working fine. I restored a backup (slimbean 4.3), rom booted and was running fine. then I flashed a font and I ended up in a bootloop.. I then booted into recovery and wiped everything like I normally do when installing a new rom or restoring a backup. I restored my backup and now whenever I choose reboot phone it just reboots back into recovery. Is there anything I can try without having to completely start from scratch?
Go back to CWM from Freegee and restore your back up.

How would I do that? and I'm not sure that would work. everything has been working fine with restoring backups and flashing new roms. I've only had this problem because I flashed a font zip and it may have not been compatible
You should have another recovery, either CWM or TWRP on your phone from before Philz recovery don't you? Boot into recovery, flash one of them and flash a rom.

yeah I installed cwm with freegee and used that for awhile.. then I flashed cwm advanced edition philz touch for e980 and as I said everything worked fine, flashing roms, restoring backups. I was on bs harmony 4.4 and flashed a font zip file and it worked fine. a little while ago I wiped everything thru recovery like normal and restored my slimbean 4.3 backup, it booted fine and I ended up going back to recovery and flashing the same font zip file and that's when I ended up in a bootloop.. I removed battery and booted into recovery wiped everything and tried to restore both backups but it only resulted in a cwm bootloop, everytime I reboot it boots back into cwm advanced edition philz touch
And you're positive that you don't have another recovery like madmack's hacked TWRP on your phone somewhere? I have it, TWRP 2.6.3, CWM all on my phone and have switched because of different roms. Look hard or you might need to start over.

no I'm not positive.. I assumed that when I flashed philz touch it installed over the freegee cwm that I installed.. am I wrong? if so how would I go about booting into the freegee cwm that I originally installed? when booting the phone and holding the volumedown, power, and home button it automatically boots into the philz touch cwm
You mean power, volume +, and home.? Freegee is probably gone.

Maybe you can sideload one of the recoveries. One of the posts on the attached discusses that option. Otherwise it is the LG flashtool.

No clue. But if you haven't touched anything in the /system partition (I.e. removing the bloatware, installing 3rd party drivers from apps like viper4android, using xposed, etc etc) then the install should go just fine.

someone said if you aren't rooted already and take this update then you won't be able to root and if you take this update while you have a custom recovery installed you will soft brick your phone.

So how do we do this update? Go back to stock & root it but dont flash a custom recovery? This is so much work for that lil update.
Seeing as this is question #3648596925385925486526595 about the matter, just don't update. Its not that big of a deal. Its still 4.1.2 nuff said

Have you tried it and it worked? I tried it once before after I restored my phone from a soft brick caused by the update, then I ran freegee and it would show the screen where it says the bootloader was unlocked with the LG logo then jump to another screen with just the LG logo and just kept looping in that boot forcing me to do another restore. I don't know if something went wrong and that's why I didn't work

Check what version of supersu you are running. If it's not 1.94, go to play store and update.
After its updates run it, a window will pop up. Say yes to disable knox
