Good recovery was putting a optimus Lg one of the traditional way to copy some files to the SD and then open the mobile terminal and enter some commands, when he was on the last line error I came out there was not enough memory and I gave restart, well and stay there every time I get the following message I turn
fastboot mode started
udc_start ()
hopefully could guide me in resolving this problem
pardon my English but it is google translator
Ok, well, I don't know much about this, but once I figured out that in the SDK folder, together with ADB there is a tool called fastboot
So, open cmd.exe and type cd <path to your fastboot.exe folder>
Now on, if you type fastboot you will get a list of available commands.
The fact that your phone starts with that message should mean that your recovery (and boot aswell) cannot start. So, you should install a boot from fastboot tool (I GUESS, as I never had the chance to try it).
Another chance (which is lot easier) should be to use KDZ Update. So, search on XDA or Google for the KDZ tool and a .kdz update file for froyo 2.2.x
Then, connect your phone to the USB and disable LG modem from your control panel.
Open KDZ and select "3GQCT" as Type and "DIAG" as phonemode. Then select your .kdz file and start. The program will detect your phone and install the system + boot. It should work. If it doesn't, do it again with EMERGENCY as phonemode.
Just one recommendation, if the update fails, DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE AND DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR BATTERY or there will be a real chance to brick the phone.
Hope this helps, the second way worked for me, even if after a day i bricked my phone lol
EDIT: ciaox just made a VERY useful guide that you should follow to fix your phone. Click on this LINK
KDZ and off using the modem option LG: I
Computer> Manage> Device Manager> Disable modem lg
then start the KDZ in the two options you listed and I get the
following message:
12:54:10: Launching SW update
12:54:10: Unpacking KDZ
12:54:22: KDZ extracellular file
12:54:29: Files Were extracted.
12:54:29: LGMobileDL Load.
12:54:29: Port = -1
12:54:29: Connecting to phone
12:54:30: PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!
12:54:32: FINISHED === ===
I forgot to tell you that you must install msxml.msi (it comes together with KDZ updater).. if it still does not work, try to shake the phone, sometimes it helps.
Though, it would be better if you follow the guide provided!
My phone could only get into S/W update mode, and using the “UpTestEX” offline method wasn’t working, as during the flashing process (14-20%, depending on current bootloader version). I also had a myriad of other issues along the way, but I found out the steps to a perfect fix for my LG Optimus L9 P769! I was also able to flash the following ROMs with this method: V20H (T-Mobile) and V10B (MetroPCS MS769 — less bloat, MUCH easier to clean with NoBloat).
This process will fix the following issues:
“LG Security Error” msg on boot
“Problem with Communication with phone” error during offline flash method
“Phone not detected!” error during flashing with “KZD_FW_UPD”
Unable to Download / flash with the latest LG customer support tool/PC Suite

You will need:
Small http server running with modified hosts file (link above)
Fastboot package (link above)
Flash package (link to post below)
Instructions:
I randomly messed around and I got the flasher working! Massive thanks to djallen1 for the package—I don’t know if this version happens to have anything different. Here’s how I did it:
1. (using Win7 x64, used the flash package from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51639161&postcount=2)
2. I used fastboot to flash ICS x-boot/boot (option 5 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828 )
3. YOU NEED ICS bootloader. Phone will not be detected by tool if you are on JB!!!
4. I uninstalled MSXML (from previous attempts)--not sure if this mattered
5. I uninstalled C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\B2C_Client (from previous attempts)--not sure if this mattered
6. I set Windows Enabler and UpTextEx to Run in XP SP3 Compatibility mode + Run as admin checked
7. I took a shot in the dark and ran KDZ_FW_UPD as administrator
8. Used “3GQCT” + “EMERGENCY” mode, and selected the KDZ file to flash
9. Put the phone in “S/W Update” mode (press Vol Up, insert battery, insert USB cable)
10. Go into Device Manager (right click “My Computer, click “Manage”, then “Device Manager”)
11. I disabled the “LGE Mobile USB Modem #X” (listed under the “Modems” section)
12. Then click “Launch Software Update”
13. Software update [KDZ] will display two lines, “Launching SW Update” and “Unpacking KDZ”
14. [KDZ] WILL FREEZE / display “Not Responding” THIS IS OK. WAIT PATIENTLY.
15. The window will unfreeze/un-grey out and you will see “|Param = xx” updates. This is the “progress bar”—when you reach 100%, it will restart and your phone will be alive again! (fyi, I had “Model Dll Msg Not Found(200x, 0)” messages throughout this flashing process)
16. Do a Hard Reset (press Power, Vol Down, Home until LG logo shows up, then release power)
17. ENJOY!

Hi all. I will try to write an tutorial for all who want to root your new update firmware.
First lets consider that you have updated your firmware and booted at least one time.
Now what we need is: one PC,cable to conect your phone to PC, and 2 tools: TWRP 2.7.1.1 for KK and Superuser or SuperSU at least 2.16, no less.
Lets begin.
1. Connect your phone to your PC and install phone drivers correctly.
2. Copy superuser.zip or SuperSU on your SDCARD. Remember: only one is good. DO NOT FLASH BOTH. Flash the one you like.
3. Disconnect your phone from PC.
4. Extract files from TWRP 2.7.1.1 or the newest one TWRP 2.8.4.0 rev 2 archive on some folder on your PC.(Remember the folder )
5. In your folder that you extracted your archive you should find recovery.img and one scatter file.
6. Now you must have this FlashTool - SP_Flash_Tool_v3.1304.0.119 or SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1352.01. Not Optional.
7. Power Off your phone.
8. After power off your phone open FlahTool and browse for the scatter file your folder where are the recovery.img and scatter file.
9. Now comes the tricky part .
10. Load the scatter file and mark DA DL with check sum in SP Flash Tool v3. In SP Flash Tool v 5 dont need. They are allready selected. Recovery.img should appear checked.
10.1. I have updated the post with some custom scatter files for 4GB and 8GB Firmware. Iff you get diferent errors when you flash the recovery file use this custom scatter files.
11. Press Download NOT FIRMWARE UPGRADE.
12. Now, just now plug the cabble on your phone. Download should start and a green circle should appear.
13. After this you should have custom recovery TWRP installed.
14. Then boot directly to recovery your phone by pressing power with vol + and vol - butons together. Not Optional!
15. From TWRP flash Superuser.zip or SuperSU 2.xx. SuperSU is fixed. Works fine now.
16. Voila you have your KitKat rooted.
17. Now go to Magazin Play and download an RootChecker app and verify.
Hope this helped. For me worked with no mistake.
Waiting for feedback.
Update:
I have uploaded TWRP Corrected by Javum. Thanks Javum. And it is working on ROW 226 and 227 tested personaly by installing patches, superuser and making backups.

If the 12 point doesn't work it means that you don't have the driver installed or installed correctly. Check the drivers.

Your phone seems to be produced in 2014. For this phones must do this:
1. Must flash with another preloader.
Look for this ROM : P780_S136_140306_Lang.7z
Flash this Rom then OTA update.
Then tell me if it works.

I had a chance to get my hands on this "crappy" piece of device , helping some friend ... so ,
i've tried your tutorial and the phone was stuck in a loop (loading circle ... ) , so i've tried modding the simlock file which worked :fingers-crossed: !
I have used this firmware (click after creating account and login on that website , post link here)(MT6735M_S00_EMMC_Vodafone_VFD 500_6_0_alps-mp-m0_mp1-V2_39_1_jhz6735m_35u_vf_m_P197(2017_07_31_18_14) and SP_Flash_Tool_v5.1828_Win) the scatter file with the modded simlock can be downloaded from here (*this also contains twrp recovery and root zip , flashable with the same sp flash tool by loading scatter file) what i did was to first follow your tutorial , format all partitions , then download the firmware into the phone without the simlock file, since that wasn't working (stuck in a loop) , i went into modding the simlock file (from the firmware above) with a hex editor and then download (only ! no format !! ) the simlock file into the phone (load scatter file in the sp flash tool , select download and check box only for the simlock file (*the modded one) and reboot it , worked like a charm , phone booted in a blink and started processing (app processing , creating dalvik cache etc) , i've tried an orange *operator / network sim and worked ! .
TIPS : YOU CAN TRY JUST TO DOWNLOAD ONLY THE MODDED SIMLOCK FILE INTO YOUR PHONE USING SP FLASH TOOL BY LOADING THE SCATTER FILE (ZIP LINK ABOVE) WITHOUT FLASHING THE WHOLE FIRMWARE , IT MIGHT WORK AS WELL , SINCE THE FILE IS FLASHED ... GO CLEAR CACHE FROM THE RECOVERY MENU AND REBOOT YOUR DEVICE , DON'T FORGET TO REPORT HERE .
I initially wanted to create a separated thread for this but since i've found this post via google i believe is more helpfull for the others by writing all this in here :silly: .
Hello community
Can someone please give me valid links and tutorials for unlock this phone, i´ve been here for more than 6 hours looking on how to do this, but there´s always a software or file missing. I can´t even install the USB drivers, or find a TWRP properly.
What a headache..
Thanks in advance
