Hi guys,
My O1 is dead. I'm gonna send it for repair but I have a question. I've rooted my device and even installed custom recovery; flashing several roms as well. When my phone went dead, it was on a stock 2.2 rom. Now for the question: Will they repair my phone for me? ^.-
Thanks
It depends, I heard ppl that had custom roms and they got their phone repaired
Just don't tell them anything and hope for good
If something inside is fried then you might not be so lucky.
Oohh... Btw I managed to flash my phone's firmware with kdz updater but when I used the official LG application to update my software, it totally screwed up. Irony, isn't it?
Lol. It's good you didn't turn it in then. They would have voided your warranty. You can only go and ask them to repair it for you when the flashing chip on the mobo is dead

But i can't turn it on now. Kdz updater can't even detect my phone

Mine was repaired, after failed on flashing a different stock ROM.
The previous working rom was the wrong official one but non-rooted
I got it back after a week with new PCB

I reported that my phone rebooted itself asking for PIN password while i was in my living room watching TV having it on the table in front of me. I tried to enter password but it was stuck and i only could remove battery, after inserting the battery, phone was not responding at all!
They sent it to LG service case closed, phone repaired ^^
Honestly my phone was stuck in emergency mode lol I did take out the battery though

If it shows some life signals, then you need to COMPLETELY BRICK it.
If it's completely dead, they
1) cannot find what have you done in it's software
2) they're gonna believe the story easier
3) they're gonna put a new PCB, so it's like having a new phone.
try and flash using kdz flasher use a stock 2.2 rom
press vol up + menu button and then connect the usb port to pc .
flash from kdz hope it works mine was dead too but i gt the phone back to life using the method and choose cs emergency while flashing

I see... I have another question. When I attempted to update using the official LG Updater, my phone was such in recovery halfway through the process. It was still in emergency mode but according to the Updater, I was asked to remove the battery. My phone went dead right after that. Do you know why it went dead?

Hi Guys,
I'm guessing that there's nothing that can be done but last hope!
Last night i was trying to update my Gf's Optimus One with little success using KDZ, got to the point where it wouldnt boot, so flashed the original ROM back to it, during the process after a few minutes it gave an error code and the Flash was unsuccessful. Thought' id' reboot the phone into Emergency and try the flash again - it errored pretty much straight away - Pulled battery from phone - reinserted it and now nothing!
The phone will not respond to power on, USB insert, etc Just completely dead..
Im guessing i know the answer already - but is there anything that can bring this back from the dead.... Seriously in the Doghouse!
Cheers
Paul

I was trying to flash the original russian Gingerbread with LGMDP and there was a cable connection problem... I chose to erase all data before flashing (EFS Erase ALL). If only mobile devices had BIOS...
No hope, unfortunately. You have to connect your chipset to a computer and manually write all data... Or send to LG Service Center. Just hope they'll fix it for free... (They can't detect how you wiped device's boot loader if all the flash memory is empty)

Thanks for the links - i was working my way through the second one at 3am this morning.. Yes - i've even tried Shaking it
The P500 community has produced some wonderful guides and looking at it seems like the device is almost impossible to Brick completely, just how this happened i havn't a clue, seems ive managed the almost impossible..
I'd more than likely be able to ressurect it if it responded to anything at all - but no power, and nothing when the USB is inserted, no vibration, no lights, no signs of life...
the phone may be under warranty, but ive got to dig out the reciept - and i cant even begin to think where that is..
Well anyway i've had to buy her a replacement today - ended up with a Samsung Galaxy Mini as they dont stock the Optimus one anymore. Closest thing i could find.
Cheers for the help guys - i guess next effort will be warranty repair.
dude pls try uninstallin all the lg drivers usb etc etc and then try it again...it happend to me but ive still managed to ressurect it so try this and after send it to warranty

Never ever plug out battery in emergency mode.... it hard bricks the phone....
I assume that u r not a mobile hardware engineer so there is no home made solution for it...
if ur device is still under warranty.. take it service center n say that the phone died while updating lg firmware... they will replace the pcb then

Have you tried reflashing with kdz, but using another firmware? Maybe you used a wrong one.

just don't tell them that your phone was rooted.
say that you were updating firmware via LG Support Tool and then the installation stucked.

this does void warrant but who knows that u rooted it when it will not even boot up.... do the thing the other guy said just above this post...
n I guess u don't like to mess up with your phone by trying to replace things by yourself... good luck..
and no. of days they will take depends on the availability of pcb with the service center..
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-3
Solution is only one..let bring it to LG SC if phone is unresponsive is easy for them to change pcb without controling if you make root or not..they don't cares about it..
But be sure that your phone is out of control it means that you can't be able to turn on..and is still off!..
I know it because one time I had flashed recovery through mobile data and was wrong way..phone died and after 4 days I had have my mobile back from SC..
Okay First thing is to give the phone to lg support center and don't tell them that was rooted before that I should ensure that the phone is dead
okay I will do that today thnx all and wait for my feedback
are you tried hard reset after using kdz because my friend faced same problem after using kdz but after hard reset my friend phone work like new
you can do hard reset using
try this
Remove battery, replace battery Press Volume Down + Call + Power button. Release Power button when you see LG logo but hold the other two unless you see new screen
go the optimus me group you will find what you want for optimus me and you will get fast support then xda

Hey guys
Just to let u know. Today I got Jelly Bean official update, on official unbranded phone in UK with original untouched software and after few hours phone got completely dead !!
Maybe wait with your update until more info will appear around UK.
oucccccch that sucks. did ya update through kies or OTA update via phone. If you have a rooted phone and attempted to update OTA it will fail. kies shouldn't give ya that issue.
If your phone is still running stock rom and zero binary counts. take it to Sammy store somewhere.
EDIT: remember if your phone is rooted you can always go to download mode and flash any Rom via Odin. it's not a problem.

I will definitely go tmrw. I hope it's very very rare case.
If you are one of those people who can't be bothered to waste 2 weeks on repair, you could try using a Jig. Thus hopefully allowing you to boot into download mode, and flashing stock firmware with Odin.

Sounds the same to me. In the morning I got OTA JB. I was charnging it in the evening. I think last time when I unlocked it and texted was around 11pm, and then after midnight no response. I took battery out for a minute. But nothing, no any sign, even after I plugged in. Nothing.
Recovery Mode
Try to boot into recovery mode. Turn phone off by taking out battery, put it back then press and hold(in the following order) volume down+home bottom+power, remember to keep them press until you see a screen that shows a yellow triangle with a warning sign, release all bottoms and press volume up. Them you will see recovery menu. If you can boot in recovery you are in luck and is something you can fix yourself with Odin 3.07 and a stock rom.

The reason is that the Shun (****?) Andromeda kernel has the well-known and, you would think, well-dealt-with hard brick bug that will fry your internal storage if you try to use CWM to write or wipe something. They also know about this issue (although it seems they're confused about what it is ?!?!?!), though they can't be bothered warning about it on the main thread OP.
I fried my internal storage using that crap kernel this week, though I was fortunate enough to be able to work around the problem using a trick involving creating a custom PIT which repartitions your internal storage to leave the damaged areas alone (if possible, depends on how badly your storage was damaged).
See my reply here for links to where you can get the custom PIT trick up and running.
If you're absolutely unable to get it powered on, I think you may be seriously fudged... Have you tried unplugging the charger, removing the battery, pressing the boot-to-download-mode buttons (Vol -, Home, Power), and while keeping them depressed, inserting the battery? That was the only way I could get to download mode on my phone, and I couldn't get to recovery until I had done a ton of flashing with Odin (including a fresh PIT and bootloader). After that, I could get to recovery, which helped.
