My phone was dead (had to change motherboard) so I sent it back to the lg service center.....
How long does it take to fix my p500?
#Maybe it's different from your country but never mind
if its in america from tmobile it will only take a day or two but they send the phone first
I don't think they change motherboard for a bad update or flash rom went bad kind of dead phone. They just hook up the phone to a jtag (something) and flash fresh rom.

OP never mentioned it was due to bad update/flash. Anyway it shouldn't take more than a week for you to get your phone back.
Well 4silvertooth is right.....
Is the flash KDZ problem
Thanks for all the replies
I sent mine for a siminar reason (o1 fell into the wc) lol, and i got it back in 3 days.

I tried to flash my phone with LGMDP.exe and I've bricked it
I've tried all ways to make kdz recognise it with no success and the phone doesn't even enter in emergency mode...
So my sad question is: if I say to LG that I've bricked my phone with their official software during the last 2.3.3 italian updgrade (released this morning), will they repair my phone without making me pay money?
Thanks to all that will answer me
LG Italia services are dumb,so you can say it without problems. Also rooting and custom romming the phone doesn't void warranty.

Tell them that the phone has bricked during the update with the official tool. Generally LG accepts the warranty. Most probably they'll change the main board.
Just tell them that the phone was working at night and when you woke up it was like this. You don't need to mention the update. They'll change the board, quietly.
Are you sure it is bricked? No mode is working?

KDZ doesn't recognize the phone in any goddamn way... It doesn't go in Emergency Mode and I've tried to reinstall lg drivers a couple of times

LOL use the russian exe and unplug your phone during the flash... Probably you will have a perfect brick

Unplug than remove battery. That's the correct method to brick it.

BTW I've just taken my phone to an LG center near home and they belevied me... They will send the phone to LG and when it's fixed or changed I will take my new phone from the center... I just hope I'll get my phone before 24 of this month cause I'm leaving for a week
Mine was repaired within 3 days. I sent them on tuesday, the returned it to me on thursday. In the service log I saw that they ordered new mainboard on tuesday and received it on thursday. Very quick, which is not typical for Bulgaria
The assistence guy told me they would have fixed it in two weeks

In case you have to send your phone to lg to be repaired, what exactly do you tell them and about how much will it cost?

most of them (in my country) come with innocent face, and then argued their mobile phone hangs when playing games and never boot again
and wait for 4-7 days, their board get replaced
so do they take the phone back or not

To be honest, I bricked my phone thrice in six months. Reapired it at the service centre. You can always say that "I switched off my phone before I went to sleep. The next day I can't turn it on!" That's what I told them. My phone was under warranty so it was free
And yes they take it back to change the board for you

I bricked my phone more than 10+ times but I still can rescue it through KDZ.
I have bricked my phone 5 times in a day once.
i have a warranty also, i'm thinking its the battery bc it was in emergency mode for so long without having a good charge. hopefully they can repair the whole phone

My definition of bricked is that the phone can't even enter emergency mode. If you can't even do that, how the hell am I supposed to use kdz

I suppose it is hardware related, maybe you can go to the Moto repair center to have your phone checked.

you can't miss something cos if so your phone won't boot up, i think call bestbuy first and make sure your phone is unlocked when you deliver your phone to them.

NO!!!! That is INCORRECT! Make sure you phone is LOCKED before you take it to best-buy or Sprint!!!!! You got the phone under warranty Locked, they will standby that. If you unlocked it and they see it, that means you f**ked with it which voids the warranty and they don't owe you s**t!
TRUST ME!!!!
Look for my thread "I F'ed up!", I have a post with DETALED instructions how to put it back and what you need!! (I'll be back, I wil find it!)
That's what I was afraid of taking it back but oh well

You don't have to take my word for it, ask a forum admin. He**, go to another phone and ask around there! Look [email protected], the instructions for ANY Flash/Root/Unlock starts out with "This will void your warranty and I'm not responsible if you brick your phone!" Then they give you instructions.
Even if you take it in unlocked and they find out and you say screw it and walk out, then fix it yourself back to stock, your still f**ked. They will upgrade your account with note that you did it, so if something jacked later, T.E.P is off the hook!!!
Note: I know all this because I was a B.E.S. Admin for @ 7 years. My old job, I did not work in Mobile support, but I loved flashing Windows phones and they had like 40 of them laying around. Sale guys would see **** I did, to embrassed to ask because it would make them look dumb, try it, brick it, go into Store, hence, company contract and warranty is gone!!!! Got into Android with Evo and never looked back!
I'm working but just looked @ briefly, e-mail me your e-mail and I will send you file and EXACT instructions to get you out of jam. In the mean time, you need to download RSDLite to your computer and install. Also, make sure you have 100% charge on your phone (you can go lower, but that is trouble too!). Also, free up USB on BACK of computer, not front!!
Trust me, I spent 2 days without phone, I know how it feels!
I'm Home! [email protected]!
My bad a lil lost so are you saying to sbf because I already did and it didn't fix the problem what I can try is someone can do a fresh install backup with none of your info and pm a zip or files and see what my is missing

Ok,
I took my phone back to complete stock last night using odin, this morning I wanted to update the phone so my kiddo could get the new market, after downloading kies and running the update the phone will not turn on at all. it does not show when I connect a charger and I cant get it to go into download mode. Any suggestions or is this phone now done?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737
I Tried this and it didn't work. I really believe my phone is completely dead!
So there is no sign of life at all? No leds or any backlight behind the screen? If not, then you are hardbricked. Kies is notorious for hardbricking phones.
You can call your carrier or Samsung and tell them your phone was bricked using THEIR software and see where that goes.
Sorry for your loss.
Nothing at all idk what they will say since I've had the phone since brand new

I had the exact problem you did. Tmobile sent me a replacement, and now I have a phone with no scratches or dings! :victory:
Well I've had mine since the day it came out, it it's out of warranty so t-mobile won't cover it, Samsung was not going to cover it at first but after it was said and done they decided to cover it since it was there software that bricked my phone

This happened to me awhile back! I called T-Mobile, but as I was out of warranty, no phone could be sent! Wish I would've seen this thread before I tossed it...
Hello,my friend has a problem.His phone was flashed and rooted.It worked without any problem but he said that after 2-3 month phone just freezed.He couldn't reset it,so he took battery out.And now he can't turn on phone, only black screen.So now I have tried entering Download mode but without any success.I have no idea what's wrong.It just died like that...Any help?Thanks!
It's in the so called "Paperweight" mode: anything will work. The only way to repair is to send it back to your seller. A JIG won#t work, throwing it through a room won't work... I feel sorry for you:crying:
