Try using a different ROM. You will most likely have to find one with an older software version. Update to MM from there.

lgup says it not recognize the device and I think it down to software version ....done a clean install of drivers and software

Did you try to flash stock MM before lgup? autoprime's topic for stock MM. -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/stock-h815-20a-stock-images-kdz-t3232282

I did flash auto primes MM and still shows previous software in software version even done factory reset too ....I'm running autoprimes MM as we speak but shows wrong software version

he said unknow model? if its the case .. dont stay in download mode and open your phone normaly and he will recognize your phone alone i had the same problem . even if you have a bootloop . do this you will see

I had a problem that no matter what ROM I installed my phones software always said I was on S3V3N's ROM. So LGUP could not see it......
Try this....... take the back off your mobile so you can get at the battery. Connect your mobile via USB. Start LGUP, if it does not see your phone DO NOT DISCONECT, DO NOT RESTART OR TURN OFF LGUP. Take out the battery and then put it back in.......let the phone restart on its own. LGUP should now see it.
Worked for me....

You need to do a hard reset, reboot again into ROM and reboot again in download mode and then try to flash. Also are you using the latest 2014 flashing tool?

ok. first try with an open europe stock rom kdz less than 1 gb in size and check.. if it is success, you will be able to flash the jb or kk kdz again as per your requirements. if less than 1gb kdz also, fails, I'm not sure how to help you further..
One more last try is, uninstall all drivers... reboot your computer try the process again.. sometimes, because of the mako bootloader this error happens on some phones with korean firmwares.. I had the same issue, but I was able to successfully flash open europe v20A using the 2014 flash tool...

Coming from ZVE rooted with a signed TWRP can I just restore this and my EFS? Will I then have a ZVG bootloader and modem? That would sure make this any easy update- THANKS!!
Sorry for not having a handle on this, it's been so hard keep straight which combination of modems, bootloaders, recoveries and ROM's work together.

Zvg modem is backed up through twrp. But your aboot(boot loader) is not copied in twrp. Though zve with twrp, means that you are jelly bean boot loader. Not a match.

Well I cannot get this to even show up in Recovery in TWRP. put in the TWRP>Backups folder, tried the TWRP root folder, nothing works. Only thing I can thing of is he is using a different version of TWRP than me (2.8.6.1)
This really sucks as I am having the notorious issue where my phone is detectable everywhere except for in DOWNLOAD mode. Have tried multiple cables, original LG cable, 2 different PCs (Win7), reinstalling USB drivers, LG/Android...etc. So weird as if the phone is in normal mode, I can see it in windows, but as soon as I go to download mode, it is not discoverable. So this is the only method I can think of that will work. I was going to initially .TOT to ZVE and then OTA or one of the other methods for ZVG. So frustrated.

So when you go to download mode, it stays at the smaller graphic of a download status or the big one that will say you're rooted.
I think we need to find a way to fix your download mode to work.
When you say it doesn't find your phone. You have the big graphic of the download bar and your windows device manager doesn't show anything under com settings?

Device Manager will still show LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (41)...made sure it wasnt a port issue already
It goes into download mode, top says Firmware Update,shows the Do Not Unplug the USB connection......message with the 0% progress bar, and at the bottom says B66 and in red ROOTED. But this is where ADB loses contact with the device. 'ADB Devices' comes back blank and 'ADB wait-for-device' just waits forever. When the phone is running normally I can get a response from 'ADB devices' with the correct device ID.
I am sure this doesn't matter, but I was on BlissPoP 3.2 (LP 5.1), then TWRP'd back to a ZVE rooted I had saved stupidly thinking that would help.
I'm sure different cables give same result. I know when I side loaded the zvg update, different cables made a difference on how fast it transfered.
Only other thing I can think of is to try replace the laf partition with the correct auto-rec.
Since you went back to one kind of ROM. Maybe this might help it

I think i borked my esn/meid with this. While my phone was soft bricked and would only flash zvg roms, I tried this, but left EFS checked out of habit. I think it restored a broken EFS because my esn one my phone doesn't match the one on my account that has been there 6 months. This is the only efs mucking about that ive done... but of course, i dont have any twrp efs backups stored anywhere.

LGUP - NEW!!! - INSTALL KDZ - MM or LP - FACTORY RESET/UPGRADE

NEW software!!!!!...... LGUP WILL FLASH YOUR KDZ files
Download LGUP from here http://www.filedropper.com/g4 or here https://www.dropbox.com/s/d2dw48uqh4hku8m/G4.rar?dl=0 or here http://oceanhost.eu/eps4h4pmwphu/LGUP.zip.htm thank you hyelton for this link :good:
Install LGUP_8994_DLL_Ver_0_0_3_23 first and then LGUP_Install_Ver_1_14_3
Make sure you have downloaded the required KDZ file MM or LP
Start LGUP prog on your computer "make sure your phone is plugged in"
ARE YOU HAVING TROUBLE WITH LGUP NOT SEEING YOUR MOBILE?
Try this....... take the back off your mobile so you can get at the battery. Connect your mobile via USB. Start LGUP, if it does not see your phone DO NOT DISCONECT, DO NOT RESTART OR TURN OFF LGUP. Take out the battery and then put it back in.......let the phone restart on its own. LGUP should now see it.
THANK YOU FOR THIS Killerdog:good: <~~~To Modify This File You Must Have Root!!
For me it's show in LGUP as unknow device.
reboot my phone, remove battery and anything else don't work.
I install LG Bridge to test, and nothing seem to work.
After make some test and search, i find some info modified by S3V3N into his rom (cust partition) that he have modify into this file:
/cust/OPEN_COM/cust_OPEN_EU.prop
Code:
ro.lge.swversion=[COLOR="Red"]some info[/COLOR]
ro.lge.swversion_short=[COLOR="Red"]some info[/COLOR]
change to
Code:
ro.lge.swversion=[COLOR="Red"]H81510c[/COLOR]
ro.lge.swversion_short=[COLOR="Red"]V10c[/COLOR]
restart my phone and woow it show correctly in LGUP and i can refurbish my phone.
TO UPGRADE TO MM from LP - make sure BIN file is ticked and in the File Path point it towards the MM KDZ you have downloaded. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE CLICKED UPGRADE! This will update you from LP to MM with out wiping any of your info. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
TO DO A FULL WIPE AND INSTALL MM - Open the LGUP on your computer. FILE PATH point it towards the MM KDZ.
IMPORTANT!!!!!!! shut down LGUP!
Now open LGUP again - you will notice that the MM KDZ will still be showing in the FILE PATH section. Select REFURBISH and make sure BIN file is ticked. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a full wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
If you are worried about losing your data after a full wipe, why not use the LG Bridge software to backup and restore.... it works fine!
YOU WILL LOSE ROOT!
There is no need to enter download mode! LGUP will do it for you.

INSTALL TWRP
Make sure you have ADB and Fastboot installed.
I always put TWRP.img in the ADB folder - so if I want to boot into TWRP with out installing it this is what I do:
make sure you open a command prompt in the ADB folder "VERY IMPORTANT" and type:
adb reboot bootloader <enter>
fastboot boot TWRP.img <whatever your TWRP image is called in your ADB folder><enter> dont forget the .img at the end
That will re-start your phone straight into TWRP - You can transfer files to and from your computer while in recovery.
If you want to install TWRP permanently, copy your TWRP image to your mobile "while you are in TWRP RECOVERY mode" then press install then select images then select recovery NOT BOOT then swipe to flash. This method does not install TWRP app on your phone, all you need is a reboot app from the play store that will re-boot you into recovery.

Do you need root so use this method to upgrade to marshmallow ?
H81520A_00.Kdz flashed (by upgrade option) succesfully. It takes 10-15 mins(longest part is "android upgrading" screen.), and i lost root access. By the way root access is not necessary for upgrade.
So since it wasn't clarified, I'll be the one to ask...
Will this work on a unit without root (which is yes according to the OP), and without a bootloader unlock, ie the Taiwan (TWN) variant of the H815.
I completely understand it's a complete wipe and root will not be retained.
I would also like to know about this..... will it work on a unit with a locked bootloader... TWN variant?
downloaded from a different mirror re flashed no problems

LG G4 flashing CM13 Fail

Hello everyone. So, yesterday I flashed the new CM13 on my h815 international. I have TWRP Installed but CM13 has overwritten my backup, so I don't have a backup to go to.
Current state; What should I do? The only thing i need is to get into ADB/TWRP because when I start my phone, it crashes instantly. And USB Debugging isn't on, I cant enable it because i only see "System -UI" has crashed. ADB won't find my phone, not on usb 3.0 or 2.0. I tried to get into TWRP with Hardware buttons, that also didn't work.
My phone is rooted and has a unlocked bootloader. What should I do? I can see my phone on my Windows PC when plugged in. Please help

Which version of the KDZ are you trying to flash? And chances are that your device isn't being picked up because of the lack of USB debugging.
