First, it sounds like you used the version of autorec in the Play Store which specifically says it's for 23C only.
The version for 24B you can find in @bender_007 's autorec thread in the General section of the non-Verizon G3 forums. The one there they doesn't say what it's for its for 23C also, then below it is the 24B version.
Download mode works even though you don't see anything on the screen, just take the battery out, put it back in and go through the motions of putting it in Download mode.
It's easiest to root and put TWRP on from 10B anyway.
This'll also fix your trouble.

hello
thanks for your response ♥
i'm trying to flash the 10b tot
i'm getting the same error every time
can u help me to solve this ?

---

Are you 100% positive you're in download mode? Which says: Firmware upgrade/update ?
This tells us you don't have the vs985 model at all or it can't even get your model info. I've tried to manually inject a model number into "to (985)" and succeded but it still didn't want to flash so I forced the device into 9008 mode.
See if it really shows you the download mode (no blue dots..)

The screen is all black .. i can't see anything
i don't know if it's Download mode or anything else ..
is there an easier way to force the device to go to 9008 mode ?
i already have BoardDiag installed and the tot extracted ..
so it'll be a lot easier for me to fix it if it's in 9008 mode

Ah wait, see the v35b downgrade tutorial, you're not bricked, you just didn't see the warnings on playstore. Search for "downgrade vs985 35b" and you're safe.

Don't force it into QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode, you shouldn't have to. If you have trouble flashing the TOT the right way you might have trouble recovering from QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode. You can effectively enough tell it's in Download mode by going through the motions I described and noting that it does show up in Device Manager in the Port section, just as you posted screenshots for. It's true that it can show that in different circumstances, but there's been dozens of others who've done the exact same thing as you and were able to recover.
You followed the three links I gave you and read all the information regarding downgrading using the 10B TOT? You're using the newer .DLL that's extracted from the 35B KDZ?
You can also try flashing the 10B KDZ instead. It might be easier for you, see @annoyingduck 's stickied return to stock thread in the General section for that. TOT is preferred, though.
There's no easier way to force it into QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode. I tried a few times and failed because the pins are so tiny that I might've been shorting the wrong ones, or what I was using wasn't conductive enough. In the end, it turned out I just needed to use a different PC and/or different LG OEM cable - not sure which one did the trick since I changed both things at the same time.
See the following for Warning/encouragement when trouble flashing TOT/KDZ, and also regarding not needing to force into QHSUSB_BULK 9008 mode, but my previous three links for more specific regarding downgrading:

Edit: Whoops, goofed up my post edit earlier. Edit 2: Okay, for some reason (too long a post?) TapaTalk isn't showing the link at all. Got rid of quotes to try to shorten.

Did you follow all the steps including replacing the megalock.dll file?
I had the black screen also and fixed it by flashing the 10B TOT by following this thread exactly, second post down, the TOT method.

If what @cory733 said doesn't help, a different PC might be your only option.
You didn't answer specifically, did you definitely try the more recent LG .DLL (different than the megalock) That's extracted from the 35B KDZ?

Like I said in at least one of the three posts I linked to originally, the .DLL that's from the 35B KDZ is at my Android File Host link that's at the bottom of the first post of @annoyingduck 's stickied return to stock thread in the General section. I also link to his thread in my signature below.
The filename of the .DLL is meaningless - it's named the same or similar no matter how old or new the version is.

You can flash whatever KDZ you want, just remember that if you flash the 35B or higher KDZ, you can't flash older than a 35B KDZ without first flashing the 10B TOT.
It's easiest to root and put TWRP on 10B. If you want those things, I suggest flashing the 10B KDZ if you can't get the TOT to work on another PC. Then got can flash a 24B based ROM if that's what you want, or one based on another version.

I'm assuming at this point that you read in full every link I gave you including information regarding using the original LG cable, and what kind of USB ports to use, etc. I don't know what to tell you.
Could you be more specific about what LG Flash Tool 2014 says when you try to flash the KDZ? You read the second post of @annoyingduck 's stickied return to stock thread in the General section regarding things that look like errors in LG Flash Tool 2014 but aren't?
