I need HELP! Or there may be none. not sure. First want to say you guys are doing awesome work here. I have been using the UltiLolli ROM. Have loved it. Ended up having some problems. So I booted into TWRP and began to flash a backup I had. TWRP hung during this process. Now my phone only turns on to the LG screen. If I connect it to my computer, it will show up in the device manager. ADB says no devices found. So do I now have a brick? Any info is appreciated.

You should be OK since you had a recovery installed.
- Start by turning off the phone by removing the battery.
- Then hold down together two buttons Volume Down and Power button for a couple of seconds.
- Release for a moment Power key when the LG logo appears on the screen and press it again.
- Now, you should see factory reset menu.
- Use the volume buttons to select Yes.
- Insted of factory resetting you will be directed to TWRP.
Then you can restore your backup. It usally takes around 10 minutes to restore or so. If the backup continues to fail you can wipe and reinstall one of the ROMs.

Having no luck getting into recovery that way.... Any other suggestions?

is there a "kdz" way to do it or send the adb reboot recovery command?

It's the only way we know so far. Is it erasing your phone or are you just not able to get to the factory reset screen?

L41C doesn't have download mode so we can't flash a KDZ, TracFone is the type of company to make it hard to fix your own phone.

No. I have tried and tried to boot into recovery. The LG logo screen is all I can ever get

So your bricked the super hard way, I have been in this situation so many times and it takes about 400 tries to get it to work ;D
So what you will need to do is do it REALLY fast when the phone turns on. Use this as a guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGJEHEErUPQ, but speed it up 2x.
