VS986 doesn't have download mode - Verizon LG G4

Hi guys
my LG VS986 doesn't have Download mode Or recovery.. (there is no laf partition) but it has System Recovery list and fastboot mode.
The system is stuck at the second LG logo.
I have tried with fastboot mode but it has failed to write any thing like (laf.img) Or (System.img) maybe the bootloader is locked (I am not sure).
USB debugging is not enabled although I have chosen it from SESTEM RECOVERY list so ADB does not work too.
We all know that the boot loader is locked for this model until now.
Is there one has a solution to how can i download a new firmware or fix it !!?

Are you following these procedures:
LG G4 Download Mode
1. Download and Install LG’s USB Drivers
2. Plug the USB Cable into your PC(not connected to the LG G4)
3. Have your PC Powered On and Logged in
4. Power Down the LG G4
5. Press and Hold the Volume Up Button on the LG G4
6. While Holding Volume Up, Plug the USB Cable into the LG G4
7. Continue Holding the Volume Up Button After You See ‘Download Mode’
8. Let Go of the Volume Up Button When You See the ‘Firmware Update’ Screen on the LG G4

Thanks for reply bro
But my problem is different.
It's (There's no download mode. because the laf.img file isn't existed) .. so my phone has fastboot only.

Hmm if you have the Drivers and App (LGUP) installed then you just connect to PC via MTP Mode then by using the App and selecting the KDZ Image the App Automatically puts the Phone in Download Mode
Go HERE to Download App/Drivers

when LGUP tried to put the phone in download mode the Fastboot appeared rather than it..
After that lgup failed to find the COM port.
Guys
There's no download mode.. Laf.img file is missed.!!

You may have to contact LG for a fix then.

Charge battery to about 75%. Disconnect cable from anything. Make sure the phone is turned off and full computer installed drivers for your devices. Press both volume keys at the same time (Press Volume - and Volume +). Connect cable with Computer. On screen of phone will be display logo: DOWNLOAD MODE. done.
Run Flash Tool or KDZ Tool, then flash file ROM do you want. Good luck!
Power + volume down will get you the LG factory reset.
Thanks for your help !
the problem has been solved
bye and thanks

Help!!! Bricked and I have a unique problem...

I did refer to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2656275&page=13#post55838770
This is what happened:
I bricked my phone trying to install the autorec custom recovery after successfully rooting my phone. I get this " fastboot mode started" then on the 2nd line "uds_start()"
I think I am getting into download mode, it just says fastboot: processing commands.
however I don't see anything about com ports or LPT in device manager. all i see when i plug in my phone is "adb interface", and in that is "fastboot interface (google usb id). i can't find anything about my lg phone in there. so i can't reassign it to com41. is there any other workaround?
I have the same problem, look for solution.
Greetings
you have to download the laf.img and boot.img from http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/LS980/Stock_Firmware/zvc_partitions and then using fastboot, do fastboot flash laf.img and also fastboot boot.img. You should then be able to get into download mode correctly (with phone completely off, press and hold volume up button (dont let go) and also plug phone into computer using usb cable. When you see "DOWNLOAD MODE" on your phone, you can let go of the volume button. At this point, just tot back to stock.

You're still soft bricked, just force your device into download mode and use LG Flash Tool to return back to stock and start again.

If I remember correctly (please check threads here, it's been a long time since I've used this device, so memories are fading), download mode is activated when you press Volume Up (or both of volume buttons) and insert USB cable. I know that E98x has some strange button sequences, like rebooting to recovery is a two step operation (Volume Up + Power until navbar blinks, then power button twice, that's the only way mine wanted to boot into recovery), so please check around.
As far as USB connection issues, don't use USB3+ ports and if you're on Windows 8.1+ and later, run with Administrator privileges. I never experienced that one (used LGFlashTools from inside VirtualBox running Win XP for all my needs, I'm not a Windows user), so can't really help much but forums are full with explanations how.

Thank you very much...now the phone is back to initial state. This what i've done:
1. Download LG Flash tool from http://lgflashtool.com/
2. Download LG USB Drivers from http://lgflashtool.com/
3. Install LG flash tool and LG USB Drivers
4. Plug usb cable to phone
5. Hold volume buttons and then plug the usb cable to PC (i use win 10)
6. Voila, the Download Mode icon is showed up
7. Run LG Flash Tool (Administrator privilege) & follow the instruction (i use e988 v20c stock firmware)
8. Phone back to normal (only if you use the correct stock firmware)
A very big thanks to ShadySquirrel
Hopefully this thread can also be used as reference for anyone who has the same issue as i had

unlocking a LG G4 which doesn't allow recovery mode

Hello,
I got an LG G4 with a rom that is locking the google play app, plus many other options on the phone.
The phone doesn't allow to load on recovery mode (power button + volume down on startup), and doesn't connect to adb fastboot to the pc when usb debugging is on.
I only could connect it using MTP to see the files in the SD card (even connecting to PTP isn't possible).
Does anyone have an idea how I could wipe the phone and install a regular rom on it?
Many thanks,
Joel
Try to get to the download mode - Press volume up button and than attach USB cable to the computer. You need correct drivers. Than flash kdz to get to the stock.
