If you have access to download mode then you are soft bricked, your chances to recover the phone are quite high. What model do you have, What were you doing to brick it?

Thanks in advance for the response...

So I installed a Rom for the latest lg f240s. And immediately after I flashed twrp 2.7 < big mistake. Now I can't get past lg screen... my battery is low and I am trying everything... I've been doing a lot of reading and even though I have my lg l9 as a back up. I mis my phone... also when I tried to do a flash tool restore it stopped because of error message f0000002, the wrong imei and it says this is the wrong phone... what do I do?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Mervingio:
Your phone is e980?
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
If your phone is an E980 and you flashed a F240 image, then you're in the same situation that I was a month ago. Stay calm, you will solve it. As I mentioned three posts ago in this same thread, you won't unbrick your phone by this .tot method, you have to go back to an E980 rom using the .kdz method first (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2420219). Follow the instructions carefully, I would suggest to flash the central america claro rom. Remove the battery to save power until you have everything set to flash the phone. Remember to run http, windows enabler and uptestex_mod2_marwin as Administrator. There are some issues with windows 8, try to get a w7 machine. I unbricked my phone with a w7 32bit pc, but a clean w7 64bit pc should also work.

Once the phone is unbricked and it is an E980 again, recharge the battery, then flash the at&t stock rom using this .tot method if you want.
[LG Optimus G Pro] nicklefloss:
Ok I'll get to it tomorrow thanks guys
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
You're welcome, good luck ...
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
??????

I followed this guide as well as 2 others ad all failed to work, this guide the LGTools stayed on "ready" status and didn't do anything, trying to revert everything on my phone back to stock settings
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
When LG flash tool is in "Ready" status, you need to disconnect the USB cable, wait ~5 seconds and reconnect to start flashing.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
I'll give it a second try once I get home from work
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
That' ok, I can confirm that this works. Another thing, make sure the phone is recognized by the windows device manager as "LGE AndroidNet USB Port (COM41)" under Ports COM & LPT. If not, reinstall LG drivers. COM 41 on the PC is port 1 on LG flash tool. Good luck ...
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
I run win 8.1 and had to manually make it say "LGE AndroidNet"

Edit: I'm not use to the LG stuff lol always had the Samsung S series, and just upgraded from the not 2 to this phone lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
I run 7, never tried w8 but I've heard about some problems regarding the w8 usb port handling and this flash tool. In my case the phone appears as "LGE AndroidNet USB Port (COM41)" automatically as soon as I connect it to the PC USB port in download mode. The first time I tried it showed as com 16, I had to force it to 41. Now is always there.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
I'm wanting to redo my pc and put it back on 7 anyways cause 8 does have issues plus I hate how they make it look so I'll prob just boot up my pos laptop that has 7 on it and try it on there till I redo my pc this weekend to give me time to catch up on my Diablo 3 lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
That's the right path, I'm sure that with a w7 laptop and this tool you will be able to flash your phone like charm ...
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
Awesome, but one thing I can't understand the few days I've had this phone...why are there so little roms and why is this beast only on android 4.1.2??
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Well, Not sure which one sucks more, LG or AT&T post sales support. Fortunately there is a friendly and helpful users/devs community around this phone here. I'm currently running the Korean Kitkat stock rom on the e980, it works great.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
which stock KK rom? I wanna check it out :o
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Take a look at this thread ... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2699376
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
Hm I think imma check it out xD
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Yeah, really worth it ... this KK rom have some issues with the speakerphone and, in my case, I can't sync the media on the phone with my car stereo using bluetooth. I see the song list, it plays, but there is no sound. The bluetooth connection for calls works well though. Honestly I'm not really a heavy user of those features anyway, so for me its ok as it is.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
Yea true, I don't use the speakerphone. So no biggy, and bluetooth really lol downloading now
[LG Optimus G Pro] nicklefloss:
Ok i am having real issues here

1, I tried running the update, it said my battery was too low. so i bought at battery charger and charged it...

now lg tool isn't even detecting my phone but nothing has changed in the phone.

what should i do now...?
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Can you still turn on the phone in download mode? If yes, open the windows 7 device manager and check that is being detected as "LGE AndroidNet USB Port (COM41)" under Ports COM & LPT. If the phone appears on another port, force it to 41.

Once that you have this verified, please remember that you have to go back to an e980 rom from an f240 one. You NEED TO USE THE .KDZ method, NOT THE .TOT method described in this thread.

This is what you have to follow: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2420219.

error f0000002

if someone is getting error f0000002 plug your usb in rear usb port, when my usb cable was pluged in front port i got this error at 3 % but flashed successfully when i pluged it in back port strange...... might be because of low voltage in front ports idk
[LG Optimus G Pro] nicklefloss:
Ok umm I'll try this... and I need to complete the kdz method first.
[LG Optimus G Pro] nicklefloss:
ok, I am really frustrated... using the kdz method... i have an issue of the battery not being fully charged... but my charger said the battery is... after 6hrs of charging... seriously is there a simple superone click for this phone... im starting to miss my samsung phones, I'm not quitting yet but what am I doing wrong here...

i have changed the port... and im doing what the instructions say the and

1)Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs doesn't work, I tried the manual method but i can't modify lge script...

2)I stated the battery issues...

3)the flasher tool isn't automatically updating my phone, I have been typing in the imei to start the update...

im going to keep reading and searching for answers...

thanks again guys if nothing works,I will send it off to lg... god I hope I don't have to...
[LG Optimus G Pro] HasNi4592:
try this

make sure you have seleceted usb mode from the window you select the tor and dll file it wasnt updating automatically till i changed it to usb.. hope it will do it for you
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Don't give up. Please confirm whether you can put your phone in Download Mode or not. From your last post I can't say if you have hardware problems (phone not turning on / battery / USB port) or you have PC software setup issues to make the KDZ method work ...

I can try to help you step by step until you unbrick your phone if you want.
[LG Optimus G Pro] nicklefloss:
Ok these are all my issues... one since I reinstalled everything even Windows 7... when I run automatic offline procedure it launches uptest tool and that ends with an install b2c tool... but it's already installed... so I run classroom alone and I get the battery issues... I can't seem to win for losing

And yes I have access to download mode... and I'm shedding tears with the dreams of one-click tools and Odin... so simple
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
OK, we'll try to configure everything by hand, no magic button here, sorry ...

Let's start by clearing hw doubts: please open w7 device manager, put your phone in download mode, connect it. We're looking for this (picture) under COM ports. This is valid for both, the .tot (LG flash tools) and .kdz (UpTestEX_mod2_marwin) methods.
[LG Optimus G Pro] nicklefloss:
I got that done already did that monday
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Ok, perhaps you already did most of the steps I'll post, but its better to check everything twice, just in case ...

Next would be checking that your w7 hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc) has this entry at the end:

127.0.0.1	csmg.lgmobile.com

If you don't have it, remember that you have to run notepad as admin, otherwise you will be able to edit it, but you won't save it.
[LG Optimus G Pro] nicklefloss:
guys one more question is it a big deal that when I type in the s/n and the model name it doesn't start upgrade? I always have to type in the imei?

is that a problem?
[LG Optimus G Pro] dante_67:
In download mode my pc says, usb device not recognised
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:

[LG Optimus G Pro] dante_67:
Done that, a query, let's say, where is the setting governing the usb setting, and does that change with the change in Rom
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
The only settings I know that are accesible from the UI are under development options, maybe there are more modifying files like build.prop, but I don't know. And yes when you change your rom you get more setting i.e. Cyanogenmod

Enviado desde mi LG-F240S mediante Tapatalk
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Yes it is a problem, if you have everything well set up, the hacked R&D test tool for the kdz method shouldn't ask you to type in the phone IMEI.

IMHO, you should go to this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2420219 thread, stay there and read it thoroughly, that .kdz method will solve your problem, not the .tot described on this thread.

Does w7 device manager display "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM41)" when you connect the phone in download mode to your PC USB port?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
Yep
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
It's hard to tell what's going on. Today I got that same message from the LG flash tool, but I was making a childish mistake, I forgot to disconnect another old motorola droid from the computer before flashing my LG OGP, for some reason, the tool doesn't like a second android usb device connected to the pc when flashing.

When exactly are you getting that message?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
When I hit the yellow arrow after inputting the 2 files, and only got the LG OGP connected to the PC
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
I'm afraid I don't have a good suggestion for you in this case. I'm assuming that you aren't bricked, and you are just trying to flash the new KK rom right? If your are bricked, I would suggest leaving the .tot method and trying the .kdz in emergency mode, it makes a lot less checkings than flash tool. I was able to unbrick my phone with only 25% battery charge with the kdz method.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
I'm just trying to unroot it back to stovk E980 4.1.2 for my fiance since I'm giving her my phone and using an S3 I just got and she hates the whole "rooting"
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Well, if you don't find a better solution, you'll have to take "the long path": Setup the kdz method on your w7 pc, flash the central america E980H stock rom with R&D tool (that rom will leave your phone in the correct state to flash it with lg flash tool), and then, flash the stock .tot again with the flash tool. This is tedious but it works, as I said before, only if you don't find anything better.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
I just need to get it back to stock and unrooted so I can OTA 4.4 for her picky ass lol
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Good luck then ... BTW, I'm not in the US, but there are several post of guys waiting forever the OTA, some of them got tired of it and just flashed the new KK by themselves.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jake1Jamie:
By my google searching it's actually available now for the US, but I'm about to do a fresh Win7 install on my desktop and try again then...
[LG Optimus G Pro] casanovg:
Yes it is available, the problem that apparently is happening is that AT&T releases the OTA in batches of customers, so you could wait a long time till is your turn. A fresh w7 install sounds good ...
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
I"m having a few issues after using the CWM restore version of the firmware. I just need to know if this is just me or not.

1) ringtones on internal storage are not appearing in the system's ringtone selector.

2) pictures on internal storage are not appearing in the gallery. (External storage appears just fine.

I did some research and these are all known KitKat bugs. Bug1 supposedly only happens if the ringtone is downloaded using your phone. If you transfer the file via pc, the file will appear properly in the system's ringtone selector.

Bug2 is also known. There is no fix except to use an app like QuickPic.

So, are these bugs "supposed" to be present in this firmware, or are they supposed to be fixed?

[LG Optimus G Pro] dmw_4814:
I did. Well, I used LGFlashTool v1.8 (which I got from a link in another post) to flash the completely stock, unrooted 4.4.2 to my E980, and it worke flawlessly. I followed the instructions here: http://tot.storagecow.eu/

Edited due to sausage fingers not being used to non-AOSP keyboard:

Yeah, I tried that method and 1.8 to go back to stock after a long stint with custom ROMs and couldn't get it to work. However, [MENTION=1436971]madmack[/MENTION]'s 1.5 FlashTools worked to go back to JB stock, so I figured I'd ask about KitKat. Thanks though, maybe I'll try again.

This guide has saved me from lots of pain.

i have the LG e980 which was never rooted. It was always on official AT&T OS update.

My phone history is like this:

- stock AT&T phone 4.1.2 LG E980 Optimus G Pro

- january 2014 - AT&T official update (i think it was 4.2.1) value pack

- June 2014 - failed to update to Kitkat with error 0x13e

I was able to download the KitKat update on my phone.

It was then rebooted and tried to update, only went to about 1%, then the error occured 0x13E.

After it was automatically rebooted, there was a pop up on the main screen saying that the device is rooted, the update is not available (something like that).

I was on the phone with AT&T to try to sort it out.

But it was a waste of time. I loss about 4 hours trying to get help from AT&T.

NO LUCK!!!

This forum really helped.

I followed the instructions exactly.

note: when I pushed the date back to 2011, Windows said that my Windows 7 is "not authentic"

But it was OK - activated again once I corrected the date/time.

Toward the end after the LG Flash tool rebooted my phone - around 95%.

It did say error - But I could ignore it.

I checked and the phone was back to 4.1.2.

Then I proceeded to update to KITKAT 4.4.2 (around 800mb).

SUCCESS!!! no more error.

YAY!!!

I got my LGP on the 16th. I promptly rooted it and used Freegee like a good little geek. Then I went to bed.

When I got home I went searching here on XDA and found this thread. Bam! Back in business.

One suggestion, though. Under the section "LGFlashTools" the number three should be placed as number one IMHO. But either way this worked a treat.

Doesn't look like anyone wants to help any longer! ????? Hmmmm! Sorry I bothered anyone!
[LG Optimus G Pro] spexwood:
No need to throw a fit...

The way you worded your new problem makes no sense. That + you throwing a fit about it + your frustrated demeanor throughout the thread (and you claiming that you should've stuck with Samsung) most likely warded people off from helping you further.

First, what do you mean by your data not turning off? This is worded in such a vague way that it makes no sense.

Does mobile data not turn off with the toggle? Wifi data not turning off when you turn the toggle off? Does Wifi not turn off when you turn the screen off? What do you mean? You need to be more specific in your wording.

I'll help you as much as I can (as long as I have the ability to), but you need to be more specific.

I also read through the thread and that error message you got in LG Flashtool is pretty much normal. I don't understand it myself, but I always get it too when I flash, yet the phone boots up perfectly fine. As long as your phone boots up to the AT&T Ready2Go screen after the flash, then the flash was successful. For some reason, LGFlashtool tells the phone to boot up, but then waits for the phone to send some sort of signal back. If it never receives this signal, then it errors out.

As for battery on 20g, yes something is bugged. Most likely a kernal bug or driver bug. I personally called LG and AT&T up about these battery drain problems and AT&T was clueless, but LG's customer service told me that their software development team is already working on a fix. Not sure if this is true, or when the fix will be released, but this is what they told me. (I'm not sure if others have read about this from my post or not either, but LG hasn't publicly announced anything yet.).

So it's a good thing that you are reverting back to 4.1.2. Just an FYI, I am also having the same issues on e98010p, but so far nothing on e98010k. Stick to that version until LG releases a fix. Freeze "Software Updater" to prevent you from getting notifications every 4 or so hours about an update (the 20g version) being available.
