Well, it happened. When uploading Gingerbread by LG 3G Mobile Download Program, the program hangs, and stopped responding. I waited an hour if something happens, but unfortunately nothing. I had to disconnect the phone. Now it cannot be turn on, I get the LG logo and then white screen. What's the worst computer does not detect the phone. There is no even a USB plug sound. Also, the above program, or Sofware Updater [KDZ] did not detect the phone. What to do?

Install ALL the drivers, put your phone into Emergency mode and then try to connect it.
Your phone is not yet bricked
Put the phone in emergency mode
(Some button combination home+vol up+ power)
And connect to system
and reflash again

Hi,
I tried to flash it from the KDZ software but it left the phone in emergency mode. I tried taking the battery out but no luck.
Please help.
Do you still have the custom recovery?

I'm not sure about, but if you failed in flashing, it's better don't turn phone off (removing battery). It can happen that it will never boot up! Just try flash it again with some other modes (recovery should be right, but some people say, that also another type of communication worked).
Same thing happened for me. PC was not detecting the phone. Then I removed battery and plugged data cable, then came to normal

If you don't started flashing in emergency mode yet, than yes, you can restart it as you want, but if you already started flash some data in recovery mode and it fails, it will be definitely better to try do that again without turning off, because there is high possibility of braking of device.
Boots straight into emergency Mode
Hi guys, I tried to update the phone using the LG Mobile Update and for some unknown reason it was stuck at 4% and the update process interrupted itself. The phone had emergency Mode in it, I removed the battery, placed it back the phone turned on fine, checked out the version and it was on 2.2.1 (the version I had, didn't update).
I decided to retry (stupid decision) and the same thing happened except that now. I remove the battery and it goes straight into Emergency Mode. Tried updating through the KDZ Tool and it does not recognize the phone, there doesn't seem to be a "Handshake" between the PC and the Phone.
Is there anyway that maybe I can force the Phone to mount (on a Linux Box maybe) and use some other Tool to flash it?? Or did I just turn my phone into Paperweight?.
BTW, this is my girlfriend's phone and I kind of got her into giving me her phone to update it, so yeah... I feel like **** for doing this.
Forgot to mention,
Tried:
Removing the battery for a while (15 min +)
Turning on the phone while holding "Home + Volume Down" and "Home + Volume Down + Search"
Thanks in advance.

Use Sony Ericsson Update Service to repair your phone.

phone is not moving ahead of SE name ...... even logo not appear ....... because of that not able to connect it to SEUS .... any other way to flash it ...........
Phone doesn't need to show any signs of life to be able to work with repair mode, but it is VERY IMPORTANT that you follow the instructions. If you don't do what the instruction says you will fail. You can try again as many times as you like, no problem.
1) MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS TURNED OFF
Really. We don't want a running phone with just a black screen. Remove the battery temporarily if possible to make sure it is off.
2) START REPAIR IN PC COMPANION
According to the video.
NOW - IMPORTANT:
3) PRESS THE PHONE'S BACK BUTTON AT THE SAME TIME AS YOU CONNECT THE PHONE WITH USB CABLE TO THE COMPUTER
This is where the magic happens! If the phone is not off, or the back button is not pressed at the moment the phone connects to the computer, nothing will happen.
that is the problem with me, as I can not pull out battery from mobile I can not switched off it and hence not able to connect PC Companion....

Hold "power" and "home button" together until you see black screen. After that immediately press and hold "BACK BUTTON" plugging your phone into PC.
hi guys, I think my P768 is bricked = '(
he was V10A, I installed v20a on it, I installed the root and cwm. then I flashed back V10A accidentally and now the device is stuck in the recovery screen. The lg updater tool does not recognize it in recovery and when I do power + vol up it also does not work (because of jb i think it) ... I also did hard reset several times, it reboots back to recovery screen, and the flash still doesnt working...
I'm desperate, what do I do?
Edit;nevermind what I wrote before.
Turn off your phone, remove the battery, while holding vol+ &power plug usb cable to the computer, you'll see sw mode, put the battery back in ...
Use original LG tool(lg pc suite). Make sure your hosts file is clean
thanks for the help, but i tried and the tool said "problem with communication between cell phone and pc"... i'm sure that all drivers are installed
sorry for my bad english =/
====
well, i did it and at 15% of analisys the tool said "the usb cable and your cellphone are not connected... please connect and press restart" =/ (i used pc suite also, it didn't recognized anything)
=====
after losing a few hours of sleep worked perfectly in the online tool ... I almost cried with emotion lol, thanks for the Force!!
I have exact issue with 15%. How you sorted it out?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
well, remove the exceptions for lg in hosts file, after this restart the pc...
after this power off the phone and connect pressing vol up for s/w upgrade mode. open LGMOBILE SUPPORT TOOL (the same as previously), above the screen click in custtomer support or options, i dont remenber, and look for something similar to emergency flash... after this follow the screens, is simillar to offline flash
Hi Guys, greetings from India!
I have a E970 which I unfortunately bricked ( in what seems to be a hard brick) during flashing an updated ROM. The phone screen now does not turn on at all, though when I connect it to my computer the power button led flickers on and off, and the PC responds as if a removable device is getting attached to it and being removed in quick succession.
In Device Manager I can see that the phone gets recognized as QHUSB_DLOAD.
When I tried to run the unbrick process via LGNPST, the phone name flashes along with the COM port name in the software, then disappears, and then comes back again. Moreover, the process errors out at 85% but pressing the power button does nothing.
Since the screen does not turn on, I am not sure whether my phone goes into a download mode or not.
So - is the phone recoverable at all or is it all over? Please help.
Thank you.

If device mgr is seeing the phone as qhusb, you done did bricked your phone. You need to jtag it to fix it. Your best bet would be to look into this... http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/lg-optimus-g-jtag-brick-repair/
After an unsuccessful CWM flashing attempt, my phone it getting the infamous "SECURITY ERROR" message. Now, I tried the offline KDZ method, but like many other JB users, the flashing got stuck at 15%. So, finally I decided to use the online flashing method using the new LG Support Tool. But the sad part is that I am suffering from a low battery issue.
So, does anyone know how to charge a soft bricked Optimus L9?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
I'm just guessing but you could try removing battery for 15-20 sec then inserting it and connecting your phone to charger. If that doesn't work, try installing x and u using fastboot that try same process with removing battery...
You can always use another phone to charge your battery

I tried the fastboot method too, but I face a problem while doing it. The OAMP device which shows in the devices manager keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. So then I unplugged the USB and clicked on "show hidden devices" and then installed the drivers by clicking on the OAMP shown there. But when I plug in the USB again, the same reconnecting starts happening. Do you know a solution to this?
You should follow this post...
Connecting and disconnecting of OMAP device is normal, but it is important that it's recognized in device manager...
FINALLY UNBRICKED....
Sincere thanks to all those wonderful people who have made so many tutorials. I failed to do the offline KDZ flash as well as the fastboot method (as I have mentioned above). But anyway, I did unbrick my phone. I flashed using the online method as follows:
Download the latest LG Mobile Support Tool.
Connect your phone in "Software Upgrade" mode (by holding the Vol UP button while connecting the USB).
In the LG Tool, click on "Options > Recovery". Getting the recovery to open is a confusing task. You have to fiddle around with the USB Drivers options a bit.
Now, let the LG Tool do it's magic [In my case, it downloaded a 592MB file]
CAUTION: When the upgrade tool is in it's last stage, the phone will restart at around 93%. When it restarts, you quickly need to press and hold the Vol UP button to again enter the "Software Upgrade" mode, otherwise the upgrade will not succeed and you will get an error. If you get that error message, don't worry, the Tool will tell you how to "RETRY" (don't worry, no file will be downloaded from the internet this time )
REGARDING THE BATTERY ISSUE:
When my phone got bricked it was at around 65%. Now, when I finally unbricked it, I am seeing 83%!! So, either the phone charged when it was connected in the "Software Upgrade" mode, or it charged when I plugged the charger in the wall socket for half an hour. In any case, if your battery is dead (and phone is bricked) try to charge using a wall socket first. When you do this, the phone will automatically switch on and you will again get that sad "SECURITY ERROR" message. Just switch off the phone when you get this. Let the phone be plugged in for some time to let it charge. [NOW I AM NOT SAYING THAT IT WILL CHARGE AS I HAVE MENTIONED THE TWO POSSIBLE WAYS ABOVE, but hey, it's worth a try!] If your phone switches on, good job! Otherwise, try to charge via the USB by connecting to your PC/Laptop by going into "Software Upgrade" mode.
I just hope that the above points will help some unlucky soul who was stuck like me Remember, never give up!
Thanks to all for the tips my optimus was running fine at about 65 percent charged and just shut off. I bought a new battery charged all night in the wall still nothing. I can't get my computer to see it. when i hold power and vol down I can hear the computer make sounds like it recognizes it though

I don't think so, just now did it and I can here the computer making sounds like it recognizes it but nothing shows on the phone
p.s. guessing my board went bad, no worries though just first time I ran into something I couldn't fix if the cpu would read it or any software I might have a chance
If you still have warranty you should take your phone to service, if not then try installing fastboot drives and flashing x and u then try offline kdz flash...

well I did the fastboot option i found but not sure if I did it right, I downloaded the omna files but not sure if the right ones but I did get the screen to show a faded out lg symbol not sure if that means anything
Use fastboot from here. You have here how to install fastboot drives. Then follow instructions from this page.
Read instructions carefully and you should be able to successfully unbrick your phone.
