I had to install 4 different items under Device Manager to get mine working, when you open it up, are there any icons with the yellow flag on them in the device manager tree?

Solved!!

I was just pointing out to the person having issues with the flash tool to make sure they have all the drivers installed...

Update : Guys I figured out what was wrong with some help of XDABBEB (the dev of the custom 24a ROM) he actually helped me step by step... turns out I lost my recovery somehow SOOOOO I was stuck with fastboot. Had to push a new recovery via fastboot from there I had to fix a lovely driver issue (courtesy of windows) which in the end I couldn't get it to work so I went with KOUSH universal adb driver which is a LIFESAVER! From there had to adb push the bootstack zip and the ROM file itself installed via TWRP 2.7.0.0 and did a clean install...... As you can see it was a fun night/day for me.. But as of now I am running 24a rooted and with all of XDABBEB'S mods.. And it is beautiful. Lol I know you alot of people won't take the time to read this whole thing but just in case anyone has the same problem there you are!

Can you please give us step by step instructions?

Earlier I have updated my phone to 24A. Then rooted and tried to install irobot25 to install the TWRP and ended with the fastboot mode on the phone. Currently the phone is just recognized as Android phone but not as LG VS980. I am in the same situation as you are earlier.

I really appreciate your help. My phone is in this state from the past 2 weeks and really getting frustated with it.

Even KOUSH drivers don't work

Digging up this thread ...
:eek:
I have a bricked G2.. Flashing a ROM via LGFLASHTOOL 2014 went bad at 50%.. Now all it does is Firmware Update Mode.

Before the G2 was recognized and accessible, but now even the KOUSH drivers don't recognize the phone.

I tried reinstalling, uninstalling, rebooting, etc but keep getting the error: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"

Command prompt ADB commands don't work either because the phone just isn't recognized.

Where do I go from here please?
