I need help figuring out why this particular model is giving me an error every time I connect it to lg bridge. It will start detecting the device then tell me to reconnect. The official lg drivers have been installed, I have tried this tool on windows 10 and windows 7, both gave me the same "please connect device". Is anyone else getting this error? In starting to think tracfone is involved with the error. Maybe they disabled the tool from working or something.

Creating a troubleshooting thread to see if might be able to get some help on a big problem I'm having with my LG G2...
I'm trying to restore my VZ LG G2 to stock so that it can be returned (audio input is malfunctioning). I am currently running TWRP + CM 11 Nightlies on it.
When I enter download mode, I see the screen "Firmware Update" and it says "B99" and "Rooted" at the bottom.
When I use the R&D Test Tool + LGMobile Support Tool to try to restore to VS98011A_01.kdz, the software update runs on my computer as if it is pushing the update to the phone, but the phone itself shows no actual status change. It just sits there with 0% on the status bar.
When it finishes on my computer it says (on my computer) that the software update was successful. Unfortunately my phone boots into CM just like it normally does with all my apps and data there.
Based on some suggestions I have seen, I have tried manually changing to COM 41 and disabling the device as a modem in device manager -- does not make a difference.
I have no idea why no actual change is happening on the phone. Any suggestions?
Man, this is brutal. I thought that maybe the issue was that I was using the 3.10 LG United drivers instead of the 3.8 drivers, so I uninstalled 3.10 and installed 3.8.
Unfortunately now the LG G2 is recognized when it is in normal mode (running CM 11.0) but Windows shows "No drivers found" when I put it in download mode:
USB Composite Device: Ready to Use
CDC Serial: No drive found
CDC ECM: No driver found
LGE Android Phone: No driver found
Network Controller: No driver found
The last four all show up under "Other devices" in device manager with an exclamation.
Previously I was at least able to see the LG Android VZW etc. etc. under COM/Ports with 3.10 drivers installed.
I am burning so much time trying to figure this out. Mayday, mayday!
For anyone that may come across this thread in the future, I want to share what ultimately worked.
I followed the TOT method instructions in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960
It was just as easy as the KDZ method, but actually worked! Here are the two things that seemed to make a difference:
1. I installed the _Verizon_ LG drivers referenced in that thread
2. I manually changed to COM41
Following all instructions in that thread everything worked like a charm.
HELLO everyone, i have a big problem in my phone LG OPTIMUS L3 E400
i use KDZ UPDATER and update my phone with wrong kdz file and now My phone does not work and not allowed to go to EMERGENCY MODE
I hope you will give me the solution to back my phone and thank you guys and i will wait for the answer....
I was having problems with my l5 going into emergency mode. It was working, then stopped working for an unknown reason. I believe the device has to detect the correct handshake with the PC before it will enter into emergency download mode. Windows 7 has a hard time managing many things, LG Android drivers are one of them. Try uninstalling and reinstalling LG unified drivers (try older versions?) different usb ports, rebooting PC, etc.
I spent untold hours trying to get my phone to do what it had done previously, only to mysteriously work again.
I'm not sure what to do here. I'm still running 4.4.2, and wanted to upgrade to Lollipop. The upgrade failed because I am rooted with the 0x1117008 error. I found somewhere that some guy said installing the update through the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant worked. That tool is accessible when you first plug in your phone to a PC, there is an autoplay option to run that software.
When I try to run that tool, the little spinner on my cursor spins for a few seconds, then stops, and nothing happens. Then my phone changes from "connected as installer" to "connected as <whatever I set>" The software doesn't open. I've tested all available USB modes, same thing on each one. I have the latest drivers, I've tested shutting off USB debugging.. I'm out of ideas.
I tried it on my work laptop as well, same exact thing. The software won't start on either computer (both win 7). Any ideas? Could someone possibly post the installer files from their vs980? Maybe the software I have is just bugged or something. When you first plug in your phone, a new "CD Drive" appears with the LG icon, the files are all in there. Or if anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears.
thanks
EDIT: Solved. I'm dumb. I had "csmg.lgmobile.com" in my hosts file for some reason.
EDIT 2: In case anyone googling ends up here, using that tool DOES indeed allow you to install Lollipop if you were getting the 0x1117008 error trying to install the normal way.
hello I'm really hoping somebody can help me because I'm not getting answers anywhere I've halfway through a course to learn mobile tech repairs and I'm completely stuck on a Samsung SM g925a when trying to remove the FRP. I have written my class instructors and I'm not getting any response. I've downloaded all the drivers from Samsung I've updated them all but however it is not allowing me to connect the device to my PC so I can get it into odin to flash combination files. When I plug the device in to my windows 10 pc I receive a pop up saying the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it and then in device manager when I open it it shows as unknown USB device device descriptor request failed. I tried to download the drivers again reinstalled and updated them and that didn't work. I changed all my cords tried it on every Cord I had and it didn't work, yet these cords recognized other devices I had. I also uninstalled the USB driver and then I ran the hardware troubleshooter still got nothing and then I also disabled fast startup none of this has worked. I also have spent countless hours researching on line and I'm just not getting any answers and I get the same troubleshooting ideas I've already tried however I did come across a program USB debugger r but I don't know if I had just downloaded it wrong or had the wrong firmware files but it wasn't working for me I thought maybe that would help me to connect to PC. I'm still learning and only halfway through the course but it seems like this is such an easy issue that I just can't seem to figure out is there anybody out there willing to help me figure this out please I'm sure something simple Im missing or forgetting but I've been dedicated to this phone and I sure can't figure it out it's stopping me right at the gate. Thanks in advance
I'm trying to flash a new KDZ on my phone with LGUP. I have the LG drivers (4.5, downloaded from lg.com) installed in a Windows 10 Virtualbox (running under Debian), as well as the LGUP-0.0.3.23 installed (downloaded from https://lgflash.com/LGUP/), but when I plug in my phone in "download mode" and then start LGUP it keeps telling me "there is no handset connected".
Windows's "bluetooth&other devices" page in the settings does see (under "other devices") my phone, listed as "LG AndroidNet Phone" but this also says "Driver error". Any idea what I might be doing wrong and what this driver error might be about?
From what I've seen around here, I'm not sure if anyone has ever successfully been able to use LGUP using any kind of virtual environment of Windows. You'll save yourself some headaches if you can find a Windows computer to do this step on.
Hmm... I see, thanks
