I just recovered my phone from it bootlooping into the s/w screen but now i'm getting no data connection to my carrier. I'm guessing the only way to restore this problem is to use LG updater tool to flash the OTA 2.3.3 which also flashes a new baseband(which is what i need)
I have tried using LG tool but for some reason it keeps giving me errors saying usb connection error or can't connect to phone. I have tried 2 different cables so that can't be the problem. I'm running Windows 7 32 bit, do i need to have the phone on fully booted into android, or should i be running it on the s/w update screen?
You might have already done this but what I would recommend doing is re-installing G2x drivers and then try again.

Yea, but it never hurts to try again from scratch. Thanks for the input.

When you get the connection error try unplugging the USB cable, wait for the computer to beep to confirm the USB device driver has been unloaded, plug the cable back in and wait for the computer to beep to verify that the device driver is running again and then click the restart button on the LG Update. This happened to me once and this is how I fixed it. I ignored the message about pulling the battery. If that doesn't work then you need to search for the thread on the KDZ method and update your phone that way. KDZ method flashes the same ROM as the LG Updater.
Ya, i've tried just about everything including the kdz method. I even ran it on my friends xp computer but got the same results i did when i was on windows 7. LG tool and kdz just friggin hates my phone and computers i guess because i have followed all the threads and peoples advice and still can never get past the errors those programs keep giving me.
Please don't take this as a patronizing question, but did you install the LG USB driver package for T-Mobile phones? If you didn't then none of the above mentioned tools will be able to connect to your phone. Did you also turn off anti-virus, firewall, all background programs, etc. before trying to connect? If you did that and you still cannot connect go into control panel with your phone connected, find the LG Modem driver for the phone and disable it. The modem connecting first can prevent the phone from connecting in a mode it can be flashed. Then disconnect the USB cable and plug it back in. When the drivers load about ten devices should be installed. The first time my phone was plugged into my computer only two devices installed. I then reinstalled the drivers from the LG Updater program directly (not the ones downloaded from the LG TMO G2X driver page) and then the next time I plugged in my phone about eight new devices were S/W update mode more drivers get installed. This delay sometimes causes a communications error the first time, but unplugging the cable and reinserting it will sometimes fix the problem at that point.
I welcome your feedback
Yea I installed that driver where it loads 8-10 additional drivers for g2x. So I think I will try disabling the modem driver and restart the LG update tool. At this point I've tried just about everything but am willing to try any other suggestions, like yours, and thank you for the help.

Hey guys, I'm having an issue here and I'm looking for help. I came from a Vibrant and loved it, have the Charge now and it's a great phone but I need a custom ROM quick. I have a desktop running Vista 32-BIT, and when I open ODIN and put my phone in DOWNLOAD MODE my PC starts searching for a Gadget Serial Driver. It searches and searches to no avail, and then it searches Windows Update. I've downloaded the drivers for the Charge and installed them and I'm still running into this error. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
You could reinstall the drivers; rt click them and run as administrator.
Also try right clicking odin and run as administrator.
Also try different usb ports.

Ok guys so I got it working. When I plugged my phone in to the computer for some reason it wouldn't recognize the drivers from the phone. So I downloaded the drivers from one of the forums and was having issues installing them. Well come to find out in Windows Vista and Windows 7 there is this security feature called Driver Verifying. It's checking the drivers signature to see if it is a security risk or not. Well for some reason Samsung signs their drivers really weird or not at all. So the fix is to reboot your computer and on startup keep hitting the F8 key till some options pop up and select DISABLE DRIVER SIGNATURE VERIFICATION and the drivers should install smooth as butter. This is only a single boot use so if you shut down or restart your computer at anytime you'll have to disable it again on another restart. Hope this info makes it easier for some. Cheers.

Hi all
I have successfully flashed Cyanogen nightly on my phone. However, when I connect it to my PC, it doesn't give me an option to transfer files to and from my phone to my computer. All I see is the USB debugging on my notification bar. I have tried this advice from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13636060&postcount=1465
I have also installed the drivers from LG. When I use the support tool to update it, it says that they cannot find a connection between the phone and my computer. Would that possibly be an issue?
Thanks!
EDIT UPDATE: When I follow the instruction from the link above, I get an error saying "Windows found driver for your device but encountered an error while trying to install it.
LGE Android Composite USB Device
This device cannot start.(Code 10)
I hope I can get some help! Thanks again!
I'm gonna be home in a minute if you want me to upload the LG driver exe I used and know works I can.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yeah, that would be great. Let me know when you can.
http://www.multiupload.com/W2Z7Z5S5GX
I really hope it works for you *fingers crossed*
Unfortunately that didn't work either.
What's weird is that when I connect my phone to my computer, that icon that lets you know that the USB is connected doesn't show up at all. The icon where you can select to copy files to/from your computer.
I've tried many things but haven't fixed this problem yet.
I really hope someone else can help sorry
Yeah, thanks for your help.
Have you tried restarting both the phone and the pc?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Yes I sure have. Any other suggestions?
When I try to update the LG drivers via the software support tool it gets stuck on checking the connection with the phone and tells me to unplug the battery, restart the phone, and try again. When I do that, I get the same problem.
I'm still working on this same issue. Today I used the ROM for recovery linked below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
It worked and I was able to transfer files to my internal SD with the stock ROM. I then flashed CM7 once again but had the same problem. I then used the CM Nexus GB by Faux123 and once again had the same problem. When I plug in my USB, debugging icon shows up but the USB transfer doesn't show at all.
I find it weird that it worked with the stock ROM but not with either of CM7 or CM Nexus.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Okay I have search XDA and LG AND google search for this problem and have not found any solution to what I'm going through. Here's a little background on my phone
T-Mobile G2x rooted with the ROM HellFire Phoenix V2.1
Before today I was able to mount my SD card to my computer with no problem seeing I've had the phone since it came out. Today my computer showed it was installing the drivers but gave me a message "device drive was not successfully installed...usb composite device failed. Now I have used different usb ports and different usb cables and my computer is STILL giving me the same message!
I have even uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them and still coming up with the same issue. I even restarted my computer after each and I keep coming to the same issue. Can someone please give me a solution to this frustrating problem? It would be greatly appreciated!
Same exact issue except on 2.2
I think you mean HFP, hfs is only up to 1.7

What about USB debugging is it checked? try the opposite of what it is with a reboot, also link where the drivers are being downloaded from.

Yeah I made sure USB debugging is indeed checked, and when you say try the opposite meaning what? uncheck debugging...reboot then check it again?
The drivers are being downloaded from the LG Mobile Support tool program that downloads and installs the latest drivers. Which can be found here http://www.lg.com/us/support/mobile-devices/phone-support
I even posted on the LG forum as well, got a response from an employee who told me basically what I had been doing, uninstalling , restart the computer, reinstall, restart again and then connect my device and STILL the same message. I have no idea why its doing this, its never done this before unless there was a new Windows update or something but there hasn't been. Oh and my Windows is Vista by the way in case anyone was wondering.
I used B2CAppSetup.exe From LG. I was having the exact same issue, this solved it. I uploaded it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?e2vnaw5a0ljljj4
EDIT: Vista or Seven - make sure you right-click the .exe and Run As Administrator.
I had the same issue with HFS so I just started taking the card out of my phone and putting it directly into the computer.
I had this issue a while back after re-installing the drivers. Plug the phone in and the little systray icon would tell me the usb composite device failed.
What worked was going to the device manager and installing drivers from there, but instead of browsing to the drivers as I tried many times the solution was letting Windows choose. It popped up with two choices the generic usb composite device and the LG phone. Picked the phone and I was good to go.
Hope this helps someone and if it does please hit the thanks button.

Thats the exact program I have been using and I still have the same issue, I'm thinking of just going back to another ROM since it seems to be an issue with HFP then I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with this issue.
On the stock ROMs you had to set it for USB file sharing only and then actually enable file sharing once it's plugged in. I can't try anything but a stock ROM (running BB 3/2012) at the moment.
Not sure if HF is the same way.....
Antivirus
Once I had driver issues because of an overzealous Antivirus. Try uninstalling the drivers, restart, disable the antivirus, and reinstall.
I have a question for you guys, I tried restoring to a previous Hellfire ROM i backed up thinking that would work and it didn't.
So what happens if I can't get this to work? Without me being able to access my external/internal SD cards I can't load a new ROM or anything even if i wanted to unroot the phone and get another one from T-Mobile I can't or can I?
Is there any other way to restore back to factory settings without connecting to my PC? This is highly frustrating and i have NO idea why my phone and PC aren't working together like they did before in the past.
Did you run as administrator?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
Yes i have done everything. Run as administrator, restarting my computer after every uninstall and re-install of the drivers, made sure USB debugging was checked, even restored a previous ROM i saved thru clockwork-mod and when i connect the phone through the USB to my computer i keep getting the USB composite device failed.
Nothing seems to work, so I'm thinking of just accepting that its not going to work and save up and get a new phone eventually which sucks cause since rooting the G2x I love it more than when it was stocked.

Sometimes switching cables help. Once i used a blackberry micro hdmi cable and had problems until i switched to a LG cable. Also running Win 7 in win xp mode helps.

Ok mshoney6, Here is your solution: (you can thank me later)
After much digging and searching, searching, searching I found this driver and I uploaded it for you. Get it HERE: http://www.mediafire.com/?ahc3iklqmoa0gnc
First, go to your control panel > add/remove programs > and uninstall ANYTHING LG! This includes the Mobile Support Tool.
Second, make sure your phone and USB cable are not connected to your pc.
Now, right-click the file you downloaded above and "Run As Administrator".
DONE! Connect your phone to the PC and Viola!
Hey there guys, this is my first post on this site after looking around for about the last 2 hours. My phone was stuck in a boot loop, (samsung screen) I found instructions on another post on this site of how to use ODIN to repair this. I put my phone into download mode ( the yellow droid shoveling screen) and began the flashing process, everything seemed to be working fine until my dog runs by and pulls the cord out. Now my phone keeps flashing the [phone]..!..[PC] screen with the message Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery in keis & try again. connecting and disconnecting to my PC about every 2 seconds it what appears to be an endless loop.. I can no longer enter download mode. I have tried the Heimdall but it simply reads connected then disconnected 2 seconds later in what seems to be an endless loop. So in heimdall or ODIN by the time i am able to read the device and begin the process it has already disconnected. if anyone could lend any assistance it would be greatly appreciated as im sure i could find a much more attractive paperweight for the price i payed for this phone.
Thanks in advance.
Try restarted your PC that screen your seeing on your phone is download mode.Also try different USB port and cord.Also reinstall the drivers for the phone.PCs do some strange things sometimes usually reinstall the drivers will fix the problem.Good luck.

Thanks for the response, I have tried uninstalling keis and uninstalling the drivers through the device manager. I searched my hard drive and could not find any files related before i installed them again. the phone is still power-cycling itself while showing this screen. connecting and disconnecting from my computer.
Honestly I never use kies I just download the drivers and reinstall them.Use Odin or heimdal to flash back to stock then odin entropy kernel then I'm ready to go.Hold both volumes then plug in these programs should read it.I also use a jig comes in handy.Also my PC acts up with the USB ports I end up having to plug in to the back usbs on the motherboard my front ones are iffy.

I have an at&t LG G3 D850
It was stuck with a McAfee lock and kill switch after letting someone borrow it.
I finally found a guide that let me get into download mode.
That guide wanted me to use LGUP but it would not recognize my phone it just kept saying unknown even though the phone shows in my device manager.
So now I am trying LG Flash Tool. But it seems to be stuck in the "ready" position.
I've heard that it doesn't work well with win10 but I am not sure. I only have this laptop and one with win8 on it. I was getting an error "milky way not connecting" but set the compatibility to win7 and that stopped.
Any idea why it is stuck in the ready position?

Your using a USB 2.0 port correct? USB 3.0 won't work. And you've changed the LG/Android com port to com41 in device manager?
If so have you tried unplugging and replugging the phone? Remember each time you attempt to flash you need to reboot the device. (Make sure your in download mode)
About the mcafee thing. I do know it blocked download mode, since you said you found away around it. I don't think flashing will remove the mcafee lock. But it's still worth a try!

Yes, USB 2.0 and I have tried unplugging and replugging the phone. COM41. I just rebooted and tried again but it is still stuck at ready. I am in download mode.
I tried it about an hour ago and read to disconnect the USB and reconnect to "jump start" the flash tool. At the time when I disconnected it gave me a "waiting for connection" message. When I reconnected it was starting to work but my cat unplugged the USB and I haven't been able to get it to work since.

You'll just need to keep retrying. But yeah need to unplug and replug sometimes to get it to work. Have you rebooted your computer? Also what sort of USB cable are you using? The oem LG one?
If you've changed USB ports etc each time make sure you check device manager as it can change the com port back.
