Root [Sprint] Hard Bricked LGLS980

[jed34237]

Hey guys I am a noob and was wanting to root my device. I used towelroot to root my phone. i wanted to install a custom recovery and used AutoRec, after the install it asked if I wanted to reboot. I selected yes to reboot and became stuck in fastboot mode. I seen another post where someone is in a similar situation and is walked through the process. I am hungup on the " fastboot devices" and "fastboot reboot". When typing those into the command prompt. Can someone please help? My phone has been out of commission for about 3 months? I am also unable to get into download mode either

I have attached photos so you can see exactly my phone screen as well as what happens when i try the command prompts as well as my phones screen.

If i have posted in the wrong area or there is already a more appropriate thread please let me know.

Did you try the driver solution in this post:

That's the only one that worked on the last Sprint variant we tried. It's almost certainly a fastboot driver problem.

Yes i tried that one with no luck 😢

Ok. Yeah in that thread I posted the 3 driver solutions that I know off the top of my head...LG United drivers, Koush's Universal adb/fastboot driver, and the PDAnet drivers. If none of those work for you, I'm not sure where else to turn for a fastboot driver. You tried them all I take it? Along with trying multiple usb ports?

I have the same phone and did the same thing with mine as I was trying to prep for the Lillipop 5.1 download. Lost all. Had to purchase a new motherboard and then reinstall nt google account. Everything is great now its like a new phone. Cost was at $115.00 for motherboard and service.
