Hi, because with last update increased count of people with bricket phone, I just tryed search for way how to repair this phone. It seems, that last possible way how to save your phone is emergency mode.
I would like to notify you, that I didn't tested it (I'm had not luck enough to brick my phone yet ). I just searched and tried write this for help to others.
So, let's go on.
1) If it's not possible connect to phone via ADB (in Adroid SDK/tools run "adb shell") at all you will try next steps. If it will work, you can use another, verified tools like custom recovery or KDZ_FW_UPD (search on forum for more) [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P500, )
2) If you fail in previous step, you can try enter into emergency mode manually and try to flash ROM with KDZ_FW_UPD:
Download KDZ updater and uncompress it
http://www.4shared.com/file/UleS4dP3/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html
Install msxml.msi from the uncompressed directory
Charge your battery to almost full state (I'm not sure, but it can be reason if phone doesn't start)
Turn phone off somehow (remove battery etc.)
Install drivers properly
Get rid of all usb drivers like Nokia, microsoft visual ++ run time environments
Install the LG drivers by selecting the update manager from the lg site
Disable LGE Virtual Modem. In your Windows operating system, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and click Disable.
Press and keep pressed "Volume up"+"Return" and connect USB cable to phone
Yellow screen with text emergency mode should appeared
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe (Has administrator).
Select Type : 3GQCT (I have one report that CDMA mod works too)
Select PhoneMode : DIAG (in case of fail try EMERGENCY, and as last chance use CS_EMERGENCY)
I Recommend do not switch phone off. There was some people, which done it and after they were not be able to turn it on again. If flashing failed, just select some another mode and try it again, again, try shake/connect disconnect, again, again....
In KDZ file : Choose the ROM file you downloaded in the first step
Press Launch software update
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Make sure that all update was done successfully. Phone should restart itself automatically
Disconnect the USB cable from the phone
Press the three button combo for HW reset of device i.e volume up + home + power button
List to do based on Zecanilis's [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P500
3) Still no success? Wait for more "What I can do" or just go to LG and let repair on them.

Please let me know if it works. I just searched for way and I haven't possibility to test this steps for now. I will do update if it will be necessary, same as I will try describe more about software which I founded.
Some experiences from thread(s):
AVanover5: ...It works if you set the mode to CDMA and DIAG. Just to let people know. Not sure if it'd work without the recovery screen or not. I never tried it ironically, haha. Thank you guys.
geejay2: ...Bricking seems to be easily achieved by forgetting to disable the LG Modem driver. Apparently the modem driver interferes during flashing. Also I noted that kdz is not stable under Win2k, I switched to WinXP to flash successfully. I saw several aborted flashing attempts in WinXP with modem driver enabled.
domenic_s:KDZ_FW_UPD doesn't work (Application cannot start) -.- Using Windows 7 64bit version. //edit: allright tried another pc (win xp 32bit) and yeah - it worked... I'm so happy.

About shaking (sorry, but I still can't believe... )
salte_eskil:wow! shaking the phone really worked! seems kind of stupid but thanks to you all at the xda forum for tips and tricks
4wd vege: Now unbricked. Strangely kdz updater only saw my phone after shaking!!!
me2kimi:It sound crazy to shake the phone while at emergency mode. I's crazy but it magic. ...So what I do is connect to usb, Launch software update at kdz while shaking the phone. Then after that kdz is working like normal.

I tried with all possible combination.. with and without battery.. vol- home, vol + return, power vol+ home.. end more.. but phone don't turn on...
In meantimes the phone is in the service LG.. hope...
Exscuse me for my English
Did you had phone off before trying this? And also battery should be charged. I just added this things...
If event that it not show you emergency mode, LG service and warranty is probably the only way how to proceed. Sorry. But I will be searching if another way will exist...
Good work .. I hope that you will find a way to solve ... especially for other users .. good luck
Good work @The_ERROR.
It should work. I think you should also add that the phone mode should be set to Emergency (and not DIAG as mentioned) in the kdz updater.
Moved to development and stickied it for a while!
Thank you!
Cheers

Good to know - do you know differences between CS_EMERGENCY and EMERGENCY?
Recovery Phone?!
Hello,
Had anyone tried "Recovery Phone" from the LGMobile Update app? It's under the "Customer Support" menu. Enter IMEI or S/N and see if it can bring it up to life.
Cheers.
Yes.. I tried.. but nothing.. the LG MOBILE UPDATE crashed because don't wiew the phone in Usb...

Not really. Gathered some info though. We use emergency mode when the phone boots into only emergency mode else we try CS emergency as last option.
In any case this method will work only if the kdz updater recognises the phone.

I was able to do the KDZ, actually thats the only way possible. Please add this to the list:
1. Get rid of all usb drivers like Nokia, microsoft visual ++ run time environments.
2. Install the LG drivers by selecting the update manager from the lg site.
3. Disable the modem driver.
4. Once done, reboot the handset and when it has come to emergency mode connect it via USB.
5. Its going to detect it as usb drive. Launch KDZ. No need to go into Emergency mode.
6. shake the handset - IT DID WORKED FOR ME.
My suggestion don't give up. It took me around 14 hours to bring the handset back to original firmware and here I am today trying to boot the rom once again.
7. UPDATE AND ENJOY.

Thanks, I will do!! Only about 4 and five.
First reboot the handset and when it has come to emergency mode connect it via USB
and then
It's going to detect it as usb drive. Launch KDZ. No need to go into Emergency mode.
So, whats about if phone didn't go into emrgency itself (for example stuck on Android logo)?

I am talking about phone getting into Emergency mode, KDZ doesn't need to switch to CS_EMERGENCY or EMERGENCY Switch off the phone first, then you are either connect it to USB cable or you can remove it from the USB cable. Key combination to bring the phone only in emergency mode are:
1. Connected to USB cable, only thing visible is the LG logo, this is because its getting charged. Press VOL UP + BACK BUTTON
2. Not connected to USB cable and is not charging and so switched off: Press VOL UP + BACK BUTTON + POWER BUTTON
In both the cases phone will switch to a yellow screen showing: "Emergency mode!!" and will remain like that.
It's only in Emergency mode that the handset will be detected like a USB drive and can be KDZed.
I seriously doubt the "Shake your phone part". It just sounds so ...
Peace

OK, I edited it. But I kept possibilities of EMERGENCY and CS_EMERGENCY modes if standard way failed. About switch into emergency, I think that it does not matter which way for emergency is used.

I flashed custom recovery image successfully and after that, when phone has to restart, it just stuck at LG logo.
When I tried to enter in custom recovery menu, but it shows only LG logo.
I tried to connect with PC, but it was unsuccessfully. The PC doesn't recognize the device. (nothing happens).
Can anyone help me?
This happened to me also. I solved it like this:
First thing to do is get sure the LG drivers are installed ( there is a topic in the forum on this also).
Install KDZ ( serch in the forum and download it)
Download a room ( stock or not )
Flash the phone with KDZ ( after the drivers have been installed the phone should be detected on the pc.
After flashing if it does not start up do not fear, get the battery out, re install the battery and do a hard reset power+home+volume down buttons pressed at the same time and it should work.
If its your first time install Stock GB 20E as it is an open room, if not new to this I would suggest CM7.
Hope it helped
Regards
But the PC doesn't recognize the phone.

I had this same issue too, do not worry.
Keep your phone plugged into your computer, and go to Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems and disable the LG modem.
I am on Windows XP, so it may not be the same steps, but the point is that you have to disable the LG modem in Device Manager.
I had the same problem as well at one point. What operating system are you running on your computer?
I had the same issue, but I could not find the LG modem to disable it, it was just that windows was not detecting my phone at all, or using the drivers I had installed for my P500 to figure out what was connected to my laptop. Bricked phone after a failed ROM flash. Reinstallation of USB drivers for my phone failed to do anything.
Have you used LG Mobile update at all? I got all my drivers through it, rather than useless PC Suite 4.
Download it through HERE
Here's what I did to rectify it (Running windows vista):
DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE UNTIL STEP 3!
1. Went to system restore in windows(you'll find it under Backup and Restore in the Control Panel) and restore your computer to a state before installing any drivers for your phone.
2. After everything had completed, installed LG Mobile update. There is an option to install general USB drivers for your phone, DO NOT do it! Go to Customer Support > Application, Manual & USB driver download. Input your IMEI number from behind the battery in the back of your phone(or just select the "Read your phone" option if you can get it to read your phone). It will search and return the correct drivers for your exact phone. Download and install your USB drivers.
3. Keep your phone disconnected from your PC, and start up LG mobile update again. Connect your phone, LG mobile update should verify the connection by trying to connect to your phone, checking software versions, etc. It will connect even if you are stuck at the LG screen.
4. If everything checks out run KDZ updater and flash your phone back to original specs.
hey first go to emergency mode by pressing back(return) and volume up
and then in emergency mode use kdz it then only pc will recongnise your phone
believe me this thing also happens with me and I know that time I very scared
that time I used this article

The same problem. But i solved it.
1) install again the driver using B2CAppSetup
2)This is based by xda forum by: Zecanills with a detailed explanation from my side.
- You need to download the firmware of your device. Download "Orginal LG Firmware" application (search in xda forum). Open it, put your IMEI and you will download the original ROM.
- Download KDZ updater and uncompress it
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
- Install msxml.msi from the uncompressed directory
3) Remove the battery, put it back and start the phone in emergency mode (actually the only way possible) back+up volume+power
Connect your device and run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe (as administrator). If the phone is not recognized repeat step 3) several times.
Select Type : 3GQCT
Select PhoneMode : DIAG
In KDZ file : Choose the ROM file you downloaded in the step 2)
Press Launch software update and wait (It will be 10 minutes or so).
Wait until it reboots.
After reboot will appear an image as in the following link: http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/330813-all-one-recovery-thread.html
Don't worry. Restart phone again pushing power button (or remove battery, put it back and push power ) and then after few minutes you will have the phone as the begging when you bought it.
Thanks people for helping me. I just put the phone in emergency mode (Volume UP button + Home button), connected to the PC and flashed with KDZ.
After that, the phone works fine.
Thank you again!

But your phone is using JB or ICS? Because in offline flashing, the computer won´t detect the phone if JB (volUP+cable). In ONLINE flashing, don´t matters.
If your phone is in JB, the easiest way to flash is (assuming your phone is operational):
- power on the phone
- insert the cable
- in USB connection type, choose LG software
- start the flash software in PC
- the phone will automagically reboot in software download mode, and the computer will detect this manner.

Online flashing is a bit tricky, best try as a last resort. You are not given choice, it only restores your factory version, based on your IMEI, and downloads the entire KDZ over the internet. I already done that two times, but I dont't know if LG servers are blocking the KDZ download now (hear that). But it will recognize your phone, regardless of ICS or JB.
If your phone is JB and it's bootlooping, then OMAP4BOOT is the way to go.
Just install the drivers, fastboot and flash the ICS xloader and uboot. Then your phone will be recognized by VolUP + cable insert.

I fixed it using online flashing, it was waay easier then you've implied.
I used the online flashing upTestEX thing I found in an old folder by chance on my usb flashdrive
I had a choice on my kdz and my phone is fully functional again.
Thanks anyway
Do you have an idea of a good custom rom I should try, other than cm, what is a relaly stable one.

Glad to hear you solved your problem, obviously in a different (and better) way from the one I knew.:laugh:
About roms, I flashed many but always return to stock (can't live without the FM radio), maybe one stock based might be a good choice.
I have an LG E435g. I tried to flash another version of stock firmware (V20a_00) using KDZ updater tool. It did flash, but my phone is f***d. The screen is totally black (no logo,etc.). My PC recognizes that it is connected, but I cannot load MTP driver for file transfers. It was in debug mode during flash, but isn't now because I can't use adb. Have tried everything in forums, nothing changes. I will pay ANYONE to fix as I am at wits end and know just enough to screw s**t up. Totally unable to get into download mode, emergency mode,etc. Phone is not rooted and the bootloader is locked.
No problem

#4) Choose the .kdz file to flash. Download link is under the "Downloads"
#5) Click "Launch software update" and wait. Phone must be connected in download mode(!). KDZ installer might get stuck but DO NOT disconnect it. (Unless it stays that way for a hour as a example)
NOTE: .kdz is a .kdz, you cannot extract it. If you get a .zip from the LG .kdz site you did something wrong.

You don't know what you are saying. You can HARDBRICK ANY modern device. By definition hardbrick means phone won't turn on won't respond and in some cases recognized as usb when connected to pc as usb bulk or qcom usb. etc. You damage the second bootloader and tell me what happens. You will see what you get.

Unless the phone is pshisicaly damaged (misfuctioning components or damaged), u cant hardbrick the phone with uploading different soft. on it (unless u change voltages and overclok, if that is possible on the device). Ofecourse they are exceptions, but all major modern manufactors, make hardbrick proof devices. Also, how exactly would u modify the emergency mode, and more important even if you could, why wold u do it !?
More on to the topic, none of the operations of rooting, bootloader installing, kdz install or CMx install , gets near the emergency mode. It remains intact.
Just retry all normal steps for installing kdz or recovery again, check the cables, all drivers on pc, and is best to have a charged phone battery.
EDIT: @kikobuendia
i found this post, same operations as mentioned in first reply, but more detailed:

I am not gonna reply again but I am just saying you have no idea. Do not talk unless you are sure you can hardbrick any device with just root and just writing on second bootloader partition. Read about it if you don't know. Do not argue about it.
I can't get into download mode

Then that's a hard brick pretty much. Pull the battery out and connect the phone to PC. Tell me if it gets recognized.
EDIT: OFC wait like 6 seconds then put it back and after that connect to USB.
When i connect it pc makes a sound

I don't care if it makes a sound or not it's like it gets recognized? Look into device manager.

If you want to get this fixed just listen to me. It won't work like this tell me the answers to my questions and we might solve your problem. What is your device recognized as. Make me a screenshot of device manager if you can't explain.

No, no luck yet. Seems to be impossible.
I connect to this post cuz my d605 is also facing a similiar issue, no system, no recovery, no adb, download mode worked only twice, for the rest, only emergency mode works, phone cannot even charge.
Phone is recognized from pc, I uninstalled modem drivers but stays in Emergency only few seconds then it shuts down (not sure if its the battery, since it doesn't charge as well). It shuts down actually at the moment that LG mobile support tool seems to recognize it.
It worked couple of times, phone was keeping staying in emergency mode for the beginning of the procedure but at the moment it need to put the kdz into the phone, the phone die.
The two times download mode worked, same, just shutting down immediately. This with LG support tool or LG flashtool2014.
KDZ_FW_UPD worked the first time after install and then doesn't run anymore, on two different Win10 machines.
I have no idea how to come out of this nightmare, just want to flash it :/

well, sorry for not replying earlier. My phone was on guarantee for about 2 months after I wrote the post. I just send it to LG Hellas via the e-shop I bought it from and in about 2-3 weeks, I had my D605 back like it was brand new. I searched a lot about my D605 hard bricked and I found that it is not fixable. My phone could not go into download mode though, as yours. Hope I helped you even a lil bit. Sorry for my bad English.
okay so here is the situation i am currently in.
i have a lg optimus f3 so its called on the tmobile network (lg-p659) as far as i have read on this forum my phone is currently "bricked". Right now what i'm trying to achieve is to get my phone into download mode, but as of far i have tried all button combo's and all the little battery tricks. i can't get my phone to do a damn thing. it just stays on a black screen no led backlight nothing.
Although when i do hook up my phone without the battery i get a prompt to install a driver for a so called "QHSUSB_DLOAD" i can not find the driver for this so when i try to run the KDZ program it fails at the point of trying to connect to the phone.
Please help... Thanks in advanced
EDIT: i no longer require help with this phone, as far as i'm concerned this thread is now dead and im moving on to flashing via ADB
*BUMP* :angel:

I appreciate the help and the good laugh i had at line 10 but i cannot get my phone into emergency mode. when i tried the button combo and connected the usb it just failed instantly to install and still was not detected on the KDZ program. the device that im getting when i hook up the usb is called "QHSUSB_DLOAD" and even with all the drivers i could ever find none of them would work for this and also not be detected in the program.
Perhaps i need to flash a new recovery img to the phone using abd? i dont know, i'm still learning about all this stuff and slowly getting one step further ahead of the crowd, so to speak.
Maybe JTAG would be your best bet.

i guess you have windows 8 or 8.1 installed..and you have to turn off the driver signing check first like this tutorial :disabling-signed-driver-enforcement-on-windows-8
and then install this driver :-
Qualcomm-Allx86-drp.exe
try this..n good luck :good:
and yes flashing via adb will be a whole lot better..just do it right...and this "QHSUSB_DLOAD" is usually due to a bad flash so fix it up by flashing properly.

yeah i was hoping it would not come down to that... If it is my only option i guess i will find someplace that can do it for me. cause i dont have the hardware to do such a thing none the less even figure out how to do it. other than that i think i might just retire this phone until something else comes up.
Thanks to all the peeps who replied giving info, much kudo's to you guys. :good:

hey..can you get into recovery or your phone is just dead?
well there are two modes for the device :-
1. power off the the phone and then press volume up and plug in the usb cable while doing that -download mode
2. power off the phone and then press power+ volume up button together and quickly plug in the usb the phone goes into emergency mode
try them both
also check in windows manager if any of the LG modems are active..if thats the case then disable them by right click option and then try KDZ updater and see if it works..if not repeat the points 1 and 2 and shake the life out of your device till it gives up and gets detected haha..also try taking battery off and then putting it back and plugging in usb then only.
and about adb i am not sure if it will work but you can always check if the device is being detected by adb using following command :-
adb devices
P.S. -
check in windows device manager the hardware vendor id of the device and then verify if you have it listed in C:\Users\(your username on pc)\.android\adb_usb.ini
if not then add the entry as
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x1949
0x18D1
0x04E8
the vendor is the 4 digits after 0x like mine device id is 04E8..if yours is not listed then add yours in next line and save it and restart computer and plug in ur device again and check if its detected.
In case there is no .android folder or adb_usb.ini file then downloadattachment, unzip and place it on the right location and restart. check the pictures if you dont get what i am saying..just on case lol
