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 .... 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

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

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!!

Your boot loader is broken. Gonna have to get to the down load mode and reinstall either the or the stock. You can probably flash the recovery with .IMG file with lg flashing tool. Nerdy blond's twrp is one of those files that you can use. You can even try installing it first with the adb shell command, you can get the instructions at the same place where you download.

Thank you for replying.
I cannot do anythings since I cannot enter into download mode.
I pressed volume key + and - and insert the usb cable to computer. There is nothing happened, computer dose not show the devices attached and the phone stay in the LG logo screen.
Also, I cannot use adb commands to force the phone enters into download mode as it shows nothings under "List of devices".
Is there any methods I can go into the download mode???
Thank you!

If your phone shows LG start screen, it should go into Download mode. I had similar problem few days ago while I was testing some kernel patches, it just froze on the LG screen. Solution was to unplug it, remove it's battery, SIM & SD (you don't have to remove SIM & SD, I just work that way) , make sure it's off, return battery back, press Vol + & Vol - at the same time and plug-in the USB cable.
Before that, make sure you have installed LG Unified driver (can be obtained via LG's software from support site), because without that Windows won't recognise your device.
After that, once you make your phone usable with Freegee/whatever you use to install initial recovery, flash official TWRP, because others are too old - that Philz CWM is old but still working with Lollipop but not work good and is tends to lock itself into a bootloop if you use hardware keys to enter; that other one, from GPRO_recovery APK is not supported and not working well (for me since day one), so it should be replaced as soon as possible.
Also, I can suggest you to flash your phone from stock 4.1 (not KitKat), root, flash recovery via freegee and after reboot update to latest official TWRP via Flashify.

Thank you for your detail reply.
I have tried to reinstall the LG driver and try to enter download mode again.
The screen is still stuck on LG logo and I cannot find the device in hardware manager (cannot recognize it).
I cannot do anythings until it can recognize it.
(Is it the bootloader is broken? and can I fix it?)
Thank you very much and waiting for your reply soon.:good:

Which version of Windows are you using? It should be displayed under Serial ports in Device manager (named something like LGE Serial device) and LGFlashTool should recognise it immediately. I can't make you a screenshot/check for real name because I'm running Linux right now and can't reboot.
Also, try with another cable/port, remove all other android drivers you may have (Samsung's, Google's...) and disable antivirus.

OK, it doesn't enter download mode. So, step by step:
- remove battery and leave it for 15-30 seconds, return battery
- press Vol+ and Vol- at the same time and keep them pressed,
- plug USB cable in while keys are pressed
It should immediately put you into download mode, with no LG screen, just black screen with gray box and red text I've described to you.

I have changed the cable, but it is the same.
So after accidently wiping everything I had on both SD and Internal memory trying to make a custom rom work, I was stuck with a phone that only has TWRP on it, basically. Now after I've been through this guide TO THE LETTER: http://www.droidviews.com/install-stock-android-marshmallow-lg-g3-d855-using-twrp-recovery/ I can see it installed an OS but I cant seem to get my phone to load it! SO then I tried entering recovery mode and getting back to default, it didn't change anything, so I tried installing Zoe rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/zoe-rom-v1-0-mm-6-0-stock-v30a-d855-t3402087) and It STILL ONLY LOADS TWRP even though the installation seemed to be successful!
So what do I need to do? Just flat out delete TWRP? or what? Pleas advise as I'm desperate. If needs be, redirect me to how to just completely reinstall everything from scratch to 6.0 or 7.0 (preferably). I was on 4.x.x for ages and I just wanted to update, instead destroyed my phone. Sigh.
UPDATE: Another thing I've tried is to flash it with KDZ file from the PC. I can see the phone, I can transfer files to it, but windows DOES NOT recognize in the device manage so when I tried to use the flash tool, after clicking "Start" it pops a new window which gets to 60% and then stops saying the phone is not connected to the pc.

I just got over something like this this morning. First, you need to ensure you have the LG Universal drivers installed for your phone. Get them here.
Next, reboot your machine.
After this, I made sure the PC recognized all 3 modes of my phone, TWRP mode (boot to TWRP, connect), Download Mode (boot to download mode with cable) and, at least in my case, the flashing lights mode (shows up as QHUD Bulk or something).
After that, I ran the KDZ restore program successfully.
Good luck and let me know how it goes.
I can only accsess fastboot and cannot reboot into anything except fastboot.... I tried extracting the payload bin but can only flash a few lines then I am told to reboot into fastbootd but cannot access that either... I cannot access recoveries either and I have tried to flash them but still wont budge... any ideas??
Use MSM tool
I also have this problem and I can't get it to EDL mode nothing happens stuck in fastboot.
I just typed a whole guide on how I managed to solve this in detail and the tab got closed out... in short then, download Qualcomm drivers and not oneplus's. There are many drivers in the file, just extract the whole thing and point to the file on device manager and include subfolders. It should find which I think was the HS-USB QDloader 9008 driver then install. Make sure you download the correct MSM for your version. The latest for global (or O2) is only hosted on one server and was going to take 12 hours to download on highspeed internet so I used lemonadep_22_O.05_210324 being 11.2.2.2. Use the Win7 version. Even though you cannot use EDL, you can reference these key combinations to get it recognized. If you're having a completely black screen, use the all button press hold until it vibrates. Make sure you are shutdown all the way and if needed use fastboot to. With MSM opened, drivers installed, and phone off, hold both vol keys and connect to PC. Hit Enum to refresh connections and hopefully it shows up and you can get a successful download complete. I found that the black screen was actually the device being in recovery mode. It was possible to successfully enter recovery using boot with power and volume down at times, although all sideload OTA's (along with prior fastboot flash boot *.img, fastboot -w, fastboot update, fastboot reboot-edl, ect.) failed. There was a lot of trial and error where just repeating some things after they had failed almost magically started working or stopped however this process is what worked in my case.

Yeah but that was a hassle should've been easier to reach that interface. I was almost sending it to service for nothing but a stupid unreachable interface nonsense.
Also to note when I tried with original cable from the box was successful the other usb cable gave me problems.
I tried rooting my phone so I unlocked the bootloader, installed magisk to internal storage, booted twrp and installed the image in twrp. But then I wanted to install magisk but I couldnt find the file anywhere on my device. I decided to reboot to maybe download it again and go back into twrp to install it. But then I saw the message that my phone is in orange state and will boot in 5 seconds but it goes back to the "bootloader"? or to twrp. Fastboot and Recovery mode result in just looping back. And the factory reset in twrp doesn't work either. I am pretty sure I need to reinstall the original rom again but I have no idea how to. And msmDownloadTool can't find my phone (It does show up on my pc so it is connected). Any help is very much appreciated!! I really need my phone back actually

also my phone is plugged in and It does make a sound when plugging in. I use MSM version V5.1.89 btw
EDIT: I just tried again with version V5.1.77 and now it says download complete and it looks as if the phone is starting up!! I am so so so thankfull for your help because I just bought this phone today.

No watermark most likely means drivers are not properly installed. You can check by having device manager open and watch the ports node. Port node for phone should show 9008 at the end when you boot into EDL mode. Also make sure you have the correct MSM tool for your model and region from here,
OP9Pro - Repository of MSM Unbrick Tools (TMO, EU, GLO, IN)
By using these tools, you accept full responsibility for your actions. Your warranty is void should you run any of these utilities without OnePlus support present. I am not responsible for bricks, fires, nuclear war, etc. If you modified any...
forum.xda-developers.com
You must see the test mode watermark, reboot PC after disabling driver signing, reboot PC after each driver installation.
This is what you should see in the bottom right corner....
