I realized there aren't any guides [in English] around here to help rooted folks that soft bricked their LG PRO to restore it back to factory settings. This should be useful if you got your phone stuck on the AT&T or the LG logo. Especially now that we don't have an unlocked bootloader or a recovery to reocver our soft brick.
Anyway, to start, a little disclaimer: I hold no responsibility if this method renders your phone completely useless, or burns and makes some nice fireworks. I'm simply writing this to document the process that worked for me. Use at your own discretion.
Dislcimaer 2: this method will wipe out your internal sdcard, apps data, everything! It'll restore the phone back to the way you got it from AT&T. Might even lose your cell unlock status (not verified). so keep these unlock codes handy just in case.
Note to linux users like myself: get your a** on windows or run it from a VM. VirtualBox with Win7 works fine.
Steps:
Download
1. LGFlashTools v1.5. Anything less won't work. Mirror: HERE
2. DLL file for LGE980
3. Drivers
4. The stock image file
Thanks to IOMonster for hosting these biga** files.
Install
1. Install the LG drivers downloaded above.
2. Install LGFlashTools v1.5 (but don't run it)
3. Extract the DLL and the TOT files from above and put them in a nice tidy directory
Drivers initialization
1. Put the phone into download mode. (Turn off device, keep pressing volume down while plugging in the micro usb cable. If this doesn't work, try holding both volume keys instead)
2. Let the phone initialize and install the drivers. Once done, in Device manager, you should see the LG phone listed under COM ports (something along these lines).
3. Find that LG entry in Device Manager, click on Properties, Advanced and then change the COM port to COM41 and close/save.
4. Unplug your phone! Important step.
LGFlashTools
To get this tool to work, you'll need to do a few tricks.
1. Set the computer's date to some time in July 2012 or before.
2. Disconnect the internet
3. Find a serial number or register key from somewhere on the web (a google search for lgflashtools serial will yield some results). Can't help you here and please don't share any keys in this thread or get us in trouble.
4. Execute the LGFlashTools. It should ask you for a key, put it in. Now you should see a dialog where you can load the DLL file and the TOT files that you extracted earlier. Put them both in here. Click ok
Flashing
5. There is a yellow arrow on the top left. Click on it to initialize the process. Once done, it should say "ready/finished" or whatever.
6. Put the phone in download mode again, and plug it into the USB port. LG FLash Tools should start flashing it automatically. When it's done, it'll automatically reboot into your stock AT&T rom and all of your data and internal sdcard files are gone.
Profit
Thanks again Mac !

Thanks .... great info!!!!!
Nice. Hopefully they sticky this.
Welp, just bricked the phone again but was able to flash the tot... very simple and quick lol ur the man mac
this worked perfectly fine for me. i 1st tried it on w8 but after plugging in the e980 and letting the drivers and such install, it did not show up under com in the device manager. in fact, there was no com section. it did show up under devices and printers and i tried and could not find a com setting there. i went ahead and tried to flash but since i could not change to the proper port, the flash tool never found my e980.
so instead i just did it all on a w7 box, the device was listed under com, and i went along with the flashing.
thank you.
Think this will fix the bricks that are happening when they try to mess around with the bootloader?

Nope. Mess with the bootloader and you'll risk losing download mode.

My friend just bricked his and the wi9ed the system. I can get ir into download mode for him but thats it. I tried recovery mode but trying to do that or boot regularly it just shows lg the an android with the spinning symbol on it the lg again then lg 2 more times and just stays there. Can this be fixed with only download mode? Again I plugged it in and im not sure its being seen by the computer.
Make sure you have the drivers installed and use pc suite to get back the firmware

it doesn't hurt to try. I'll bet it will because I was left with something similar and this method got me back on stock.

Pc suite? Do you mean lg flash tools? I downloaded it but it wants me to log in to use it. I havent found a log in for it yet.
Download lg pc suite it have lg flash tool in it
Then you search a little in menus for firmware urgence recovery something like that and if it don't work try update in the same menu
And if all of that didn't work I'll find you a link to flash a kdz

I seem to have an issue with my E980, i cant get data my apn directory is empty and cant seem to add an apn it will just not save! anyone else have this issue or know what i can do? thanks!
Reboots to recovery only
Ok, I flashed the recovery in this post using the dd method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43460298&postcount=208
The value pack was trying to download on my phone and instead of cancel, I pressed install. Now the phone only boots into that recovery. I have everything from the op downloaded, but instead of download mode it only boots into the recovery, any ideas?
When it boots up, It says the following for a couple of seconds:
Code:
Secure booting error
Cause: Device Unlock, so boot success!!
Edit: Got it into download mode by holding down both volume keys and plugging into usb. Thanks!!

Hello ..
I have a big problem !! I try to flash the Smartzen rom for try and after when my phone reboot..I have a bootloop
But the problem it's -> I don't acces to the bootloader and the recovery
I make power and volume + and i have vibration and just that
When i put the phone with the usb cable the phone doesn't charge.. and sometimes yes
And sometimes the phone reboot with a bootloop
I can't flash a new rom because my pc don't recognize the phone( just the sound when a device is connected) (it's normal i don't have access to bootloader)
And on the tutorial for the unbrick it's say " Ash back to the Zenfone 2, shutdown, press simultaneously the key "source" + "volume +", of course you will see a screen hanging cables. " but i don't have that...i have NOTHING
What is the solution please ?? Because i don't see any solution..

If you cant access bootloader i would suggest to use xfstk to reflash the bootloader. follow this guide. I had same problem and successfully recovered from a hard brick.

Basically as long as you followed the drivers install process correctly under device manager for a quick seccond you will see under IntelSOC you will see moorefield appear then disconnect. If that is good then your on your way.
Simply open xfstk follow the steps link to the proper files for your device, then hit begin download. While the counting is going down, turn on your phone as described in the steps and it should begin flashing.
here is a good video tutorial that helps - credit to timbernot

Usually when this happens xfstk lost communication with the device. Typically I encountered this when xfstk continued to flash the OS file.
In this case the fix is
To Go to Options to change the value in the Value section Override Flag GP 0x80000807. (Note the guide calls for 5 0's but only 4 0's will work)

This happened to me too - I solved it the dumbest way possible. The first time I set it up and ran it and it got through the first part and then failed to do the second. I just happened to have to go pick up a pizza at the time, so I went and got the pizza, came back, touched nothing, ran xFSTK again, and it worked! After that, I always ran it once, let it fail, then waited 10 minutes touching nothing, and ran it again. That always works for me (don't know why, and I know it doesn't make sense, but hey it works for me all the time)
Greetings,im Akmal and today I will be sharing some helpful solution to unbrick your Oppo Find 7/7A.Short Story(myb a lil bit longer)¬
So my find 7A got soft bricked when I install custom rom without using TWRP(pretty stupid to do so)
After rebooting my phone keeps on booting to fastboot mode and no matter it happen the same if i press vol up/vol down and power button.
At this stage I knew my phone is soft bricked.So I found the solution to it through some old posts which you have to extract the ColorOS blablabla and adb thingy(I dont wanna go through it here)
But I dont realised that i forget to flash a file name "TZ.MBN"
Now that my phone wont ever boot or even to fastboot which resulted to hard brick.
No recovery screen.
No Charging status screen
No Fastboot screen
No sign of vibrating when i push the power button
-So here is the solution-
Disclaimer-I am not responsible for what ever happen to your device after this-
-there are already some other posts like this but I make this post to let you know that its still working.
1a)First,download the OPPO UNBRICK TOOL HERE
bit.ly/OPPOUNBRICK
1b)goto Google and search for Qualcomm qd loader.download,install and restart your pc.
2)After restarting,Extract the file from OPPO UNBRICK TOOL and open "Msm8974DownloadTool.exe"
3)as you may have notice,its chinese language or some aliens language but dont worry it isn't corrupted,just follow through↓
4)disconnect your device battery,then open the software and press start,after that connect the phone to your pc/laptop (WITHOUT BATTERY) and hold volume up button
5)please wait patiently as it is reflashing stock rom to your device.
6)as you may have noticed maybe your device disconnected but DONT GET PANICKED! press again the power button until its downloading again on the software.
7)If it has done downloading,some row should be in a Green colour.
8)disconnect your cable and try turning on your device again.
That's it!Any comment or curiosity I will try helping you through the comment section but I not guaranteed everything I can answer
P/S:if your device is softbricked,you just should disconnect your battery,and then open the software and press start,then connect the phone to your pc/laptop (WITHOUT BATTERY) and hold volume up button.
If your device is hard bricked(like mine)only holding the power button could work as well
*UPDATE* 24/2/2019
-If you guys still have any concerns kindly contact me through twitter (0728mal)
*UPDATE* 4/7/2020
-yes it is still working guys,no worries kayy
-no you don't need internet for it to work,the software already has all the files needed to flash the device,which is why the file is pretty big.
best regards,
Akmal

4)Connect your phone to PC and press the power button until you heard some like mounted usb alert on windows.(its ok aslong windows does not detect it on device manager but its ok if you can hear the alert sound.
5)back to the software,no need to mess around with it.Click on start until its downloading a "new life" to your phone.

hi im having this problem as well. my find 7a is hard bricked after i flash coloros v2.1.5i without twrp. the problem is, my computer does not detect my phone at all even after i hard reset and hold power button for 30 seconds. i dont think the battery is drained because before this happened, my phones battery was about 90% and i try recharging the phone for 30 minutes, and nothing happened. so the debrick tool cannot be used. can you suggest anything for my problem?
Got excited when I read this post! Is there an Oppo Unbrick tool for Mac? I don't have a Windows machine so I can't run the .exe file... Is there an equivalent for those of us not on Windows? Thank you

On Mac's OS, you can always install Windows on its proprietary virtual machine and get the process going that way.

yeah you can try WINE also but i never have any experience with mac os before so i cant guarantee that it will work considering that you're configuring your drivers,which can go wrong if not done correctly
So I have bricked my phone (X9006) while trying to install TWRP recovery. It is stuck on logo and adb/ fastboot does not recognise it anymore. I have tried the above-mentioned tool, but this program also does not do anything for a long time. Am I missing something in applying this solution?
Edit: I am an Windows 10 and I might not have the Qualcomm drivers installed. I don't know how to install

Hello there.have you tried downloading the "Qualcomm"
Driver software on your PC?
is it necessary to remove the battery? I don't have tools for opening my phone and it's battery is non-removable
Perhaps an important step is missing. The Qualcomm qd loader driver is may not signed. I had to boot into the extended start menu on Windows 10 and disable the driver signature check - point 7 - and could now successfully debrick my find7.
I was playing normally the phone discharged turned off, and when I connect it only shows the android one screen over and over, the led that shows that it's charging doesn't turns on, I have nothing weird installed, didn't even knew about fastboot or roms, or anything like that until 15 minutes ago, so the fastboot options are not and cannot be activated, does it have a solution? do I just let it be connected for a few hours and try again, or what, i'm a noob on this matters so I don't know what to do. Thanks
maybe try holding vol down and power for 10 or more seconds. it should vibrate. it reboots and shows fastboot icon, you can flash stock rom again, let us know

The fastboot screen shows, but I can't do anything, and if I connect it to my PC after watching somethings like going to CMD and trying some commands the console doesn't even recognize those commands, maybe I have to install something for it to read it? I don't know, if this helps in anyway, I appreciate it.

No I didn't enable the USB debugging, and no I haven't been able to do it, the mi flash program needs extra installations but always sends an error message and closes, I really don't know how to do this kind of things, I tried with a program called MiFlash Unlock, but it needs a Xiaomi account connected with the number and I don't have one, I really don't know what to do from here, plus I've read that I need the rom to install and don't know where can I find it and which one is the one that I need to install.

Anyway you can't do many things although you should have enabled USB debugging atleast you decided to unlock device but fastboot is (almost) useless for device with locked boatloader.
The first thing I do no matter I don't think to root or modify my device is enabling USB debugging just to have more options to recover from an eventual brick.
Now try to do the next before to go to the other option; try to enter to recovery from device off, using volume up + power for some seconds then format/factory reset and let us know what happened.

Ok, I supposed it, some partitions get corrupted while device fails to reboot.
Your last solution is using EDL mode, you will find many tutorials on YouTube to put device in this mode using test point method, then flashing the official stock rom through MiFlash tool.
To take in account MiFlash tool doesn´t work while in fastboot mode on devices with locked bootloaders so you have to use it in EDL (Emergency DownLoad) mode, no other workaround known on that. (for this model)

Hello
I need help here I have tried everything to fix my oppo reno 6 5g chinese version and now I am at a dead end can anybody give any suggestion.?
My phone is on black screen and its showing only for 2 second on device manager as some other version which made mtkclient tool to failed handshake and sp flash tool to give error.
like attached screen shots.
In device manager it is showing as V_1632 which is idk what.
I tried all combination but phone is at black screen now.
Device is not going into BROM mode.
Any help will be much appreciated.
hmmm, at least you didn't flash the wrong preloader, so we can save this pretty easily actually.
Just simply follow this guide:
Download VCOM drivers: Mega Link
Install LibUSB and filter your device driver after connecting it through USB while pressing on both vol + and vol - buttons.
Install Python and install it's requirements using the command `pip install pyusb pyserial json5` in CMD.
Extract MTK bypass util anywhere and run the command `python main.py` in the extracted folder through CMD while your device is connected (KEEP HOLDING VOL + AND VOL - DURING THE BYPASSING!!!).
Open SP and flash the scatter file of your stock ROM (PLEASE ONLY FLASH YOUR STOCK ROM) (ONLY USE DOWNLOAD MODE).
Then reboot your device and it should work.
If you face any issue or don't know how to do a step of those just reply to the thread. I'll try to attach some pictures, just be aware I'm only online at about this time.

I did everything like you described step by step first 3 steps were installations so that went ok but in step 4 I followed your instructions but nothing happend.
I pressed VOL up+VOL down buttons but nothing happend for long time.
Here is screen shot of CMD
I think preloader is damaged or something because not its not going in BROM mode at all only black screen.
If i press VOL up+VOL down+PWR buttons then in device manager phone is shown as I shared screenshot in post but only for like 2 seconds.
like this
Also in SP flash tool detects the phone but when I hit the downlad button it gives error STATUS_ERR instantly not even start the process.
Most likely you didn't use LibUSB right, just open the app connect the device and when you see it in the list of devices highlight it and press install

I did exactly what you said but the problem is phone is like not responding to VOL+andVOL- buttons command, in LibUsb where it says waiting for devicec i pressed both volume buttons and connect and waited for 1 minute atleast but nothing attached screenshot for rfrence. its just empty.
But when i press all HW buttons then LibUsb shows a device then I select it and install and completes it but thats the problem it only shows for 2 second then gone.
like this
what should i do now?
I think you fried the preloader mate, you need to do a test point connection and force the device to connect to the cpu directly.
If you're unsure how to do that please send your device to a professional instead.

yeah im not sure how to do that. I think too much flashing may have resulted in that.
Thank you for your help.
but in case if they didnt take it then im afraid im gonna have to try that is there any tool or process or help where i can learn more abt this test connection process?

It's device specific so I'll need to look into it and reply to you, but generally speaking you're going to connect a USB to the device through specific CPU pins on the motherboard.

Oh it means I need to open up the phone.
That will be the problem because I dont have the tools to do that.
I guess first I have to try and find some professional then.
