I've experienced the same thing long back, it happens when recovery gets damaged...don't worry, the phone is not bricked...I recovered it by flashing back official firmware by using KDZ...

My phone is stuck on LG logo. that means my android isn't booting. so, my point is how can i turn ON USB Debugging.
and the other thing is i installed my phone drivers to pc(win 7 32 bit) but my phone was not recognized so, how can I use the tools like KDZ updater or LGMDP.
Thanks for the reply dude

u can use kdz with the emergency mode...nothing to do with the USB debugging...the problem is the phone is not recognized...try many times with the "shaking technique"...it will work for sure, it worked for me...

well i am saying that be sure to enable usb debugging in future for the time just use the method to revive your phn back ,when ur phn is on just be sure usb debugging is enabled and than flash recovery using any method u r comfortable with, use the lgmdp method its safe and kdz flashing is used the shaking method when the phn is in dead condition as ur phn boot to lg logo so the lgmdp method will work even the kdz but the later one is bit risky.
Get lgdmp (firmware flasher) on PC
Link: http://*******/5v3zU
Open lgdmp.exe
Disable LG modem
Device manager -> modems
Go to emergency mode first.
For that:
Power off phone (even if by taking out battery) -> keep press volume up+back button and press power button.
Now u will enter emergency mode
In lgdmp click select port
Phone will be detected automatically -> press connect
Close the pop-up window that shows to select image file
Backup NV
Tools -> NV backup
Download recovery
Link: http://*******/5v3tT
Unzip the downloaded recovery into a folder
Open the extracted folder as the image folder in lgdmp
It will show some errors. Don't mind and just close the image selection window
Now press download in main window of lgdmp
It will flash recovery to the phone
After its complete u can boot to recovery by keycombination menu + volume down when pressing power button
Hope it will help

God! What the hell are you doing!
Do you even know what happened to your phone; No!
So don't go for anything
You got your CWM 5.0.2.7 corrupted while flash
So just boot into fastboot mode and flash CWM 5.0.2.0 via fastboot method
@All here: If anyone of you, could please link him to fastboot unbrick method from Bytecode's repo
By the way. What ever you try but KDZ and LGPMD won't recogonise your phone
So no chance to use it
Most probably he will be confused like hell by seeing all those answers like
Go for lgmdp no go to kdz no phone bricked ma money oh GOD.. :banghead:
Am not spamming by the way lol........

it isn't from bytecode(u may know this)
no following codes were shown on my screen
Symptom
You tried flashing a custom recovery like ClockWorkMod or Thunderg, or you flashed an incorrect ROM, and when you rebooted, it showed this screen:
Code:

Completely switch off your phone
Press Power + Home button
It will boot into fastboot mode and then just follow the method as shown on the thread (link that you mentioned)
Make sure to download 5.0.2.0 CWM recovery image from here
Two things that i wanna advise you about
1) Read that thread very carefully, understand what you are doing and follow each and every command.
2) Make sure to rename the download *.img file to recovery.img
Note that .img is the extension and not to be included in name
I'm sure this will help
Once done, type in fastboot reboot and wait for the phone to boot to the previous instance, where the phone was before this happened
Avoid using 5.0.2.7; its buggy

Nice to hear that it helped others out too
I suffered from this about 20 times but it took me 2 minutes to recover back
I've been trying to flash my p768 for JB V20A VIETNAM. i used V20A TELCEL, MEXICO Before this flashing.
So I started flashing the KDZ file, followed all the necessary steps and finally when the process is at 15 percent, flashing stopped saying there is a problem with communication between cell phone and pc.
So i did the workoaround, remove the usb cable and wait for at least 10 secs and reconnect, then waited for all the drivers to install. After restarting the whole process it got stack still at 15 percent. Now I cannot get out of Software update mode even if I remove the battery and start the device again.
also i use Following method. and it dosent work. and at 15 percent, flashing stopped saying there is a problem with communication between cell phone and pc Again.
method:If you were on JB, the phone won't be recognized on "S/W Update" screen by the offline method. You must use the online method :
- Remove the lines you put in your "hosts" file ("127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com" and "127.0.0.1 csmgdl.lgmobile.com") then reboot your computer
- Connect your phone (on the "S/W Update" mode)
- Directly start "B2CAppSetup.exe" : it should detect your phone
- Click on "Customer Support" then "Recovery Phone" (see screenshot on http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2217710)
- Wait and pray... It can be long because it downloads the last KDZ file from official LG servers.
plz help meeee

forget about cwm,
hard/factory reset your phone ; turn it off, press vol- & home & power on
remove all lg drivers and software etc, reboot pc and install lg pc suit , try recovery from there

The LG Update Tool can install latest drivers for you: did you properly install them ? If your phone can start in "S/W Update" mode, the online unbricking method should work, that's why I think you have a driver issue. Did you also try on another computer with another Windows version ? (the most "driver friendly" version would be a Windows XP at least on SP2).

you need to install fastboot drivers twice, once before you run the omap4fastboot and again after running it when you see that mirrored fastboot text
So I recently wanted to load a custom rom on my p769.
Unfortunately, I tried to flash a rom without actually having the bootloader unlocked (thought i did?)
Now i'm forever stuck at the "LG Security Error" screen.
I can't seem to do anything else! :'(
The only other mode I can boot into is S/W update screen (holding volume up and plugging in usb cable).
I tried to get to another mode I read about (vol up + vol down then plug usb cable for "download" mode, to no avail)
Anyway, once I do get it into sw update mode, I can't seem to do anything either way, when i try to list adb devices, none are listed, when i try to use lg mobile tool, it never connects, when i try to use kdz offline update tool, it doesn't see the phone, it just keeps trying to connect, the log freaks out at "_IsConnectedPhone Call", and just keeps trying to "connect" to phone but can't
Am I totally screwed here?
What can I do? Any help appreciated!

I've tried this as well, but I don't know if i'm doing it correctly
I installed the 'drivers' it needs (following the readme file) when it shows the "unknown/other" device (the part where you have to catch it in device manager).
After this, I run the start.bat, enter 5 and hit enter, i unplug my phone and hit any key, then i plug it in as it says and it does it's thing, then i wait for 4 seconds when it begins to say "waiting for device", i put my battery in and it just stays there, waiting for device
Can you help me figure this out? Am I doing something wrong?

i think i'm making some progress, thanks for helping so far!
anyway, i'm able to get fastboot on my phone (i think?), the screen on the phone shows the flipped LG logo and at the top right it says 2.0 fastboot (flipped of course)
but, what am i supposed to do here?
i see the 2 omap devices listed on my device manager
whenever i try to run the kdz offline flash tool (if i'm using the right one), it still doesn't detect the phone as connected, doesn't even try, just errors and tells me to connect to usb port and restart or exit
what am i supposed to do once i'm in fastboot recovery for my phone?
should i comment out the 2 listings i added to the hosts file? should i NOT be running shttps app? which kdz offline flash tool should i be using? (currently trying: UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe)

You should run start.bat and select flash ICS u-boot/x-loader for P769
When it finish, reboot you phone to S/W update mode and try to use UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe to flash your P769 kdz again to restore your phone.
Maybe I miss something about P769 model, please search in FAQ forum many people have this issue, and most of them have fixed it.

Then try enter in lelus fastboot mode, ad then flash x-loader, uloader, boot.img and recovery.img from stock rom for your device type model. Then repeat steps 1 and 2
Where can I find the lelus script?

Sorry for reviving such an old thread, but oh well...
Your procedure doesn't seem to work with my device. Just to make sure we are using the same driver packages, can you post a link to the fastboot driver you have successfully used?
My L9 is always showing this "partition doesn't exist" error message, no matter what I try. Lelus's script seems to do the job and the phone is detected as a fastboot device, and can even be detected in LG Flash Tool (using a 910K cable), but flashing will stop after a little over 2 minutes, because the phone disconnects. During all of my attempts, the screen stays black.
Any hint?

Then you need a Technician with a Octopus Box to repair your partition table...

Can you boot into recovery? We now have a custom recovery for locked bootloaders (and CM roms). If you can get into recovery, I would try some adb commands to mount the partitions.
No, no recovery. Just to make sure that I'm not doing it wrong, what is the key combination to boot to recovery?
I have also tried:
Code:
fastboot boot some_recovery_image.img
It says ok, but the phone just hangs at the black screen and becomes undetectable as a fastboot device, until I pull the battery. So, unless the some_recovery_image.img is unsuitable for my P760 (which may be!), there is something seriously wrong I think.
Or maybe I can try the same command with the custom recovery for bootloader locked phones... Where can I find it?

Your EMMC partition is wiped or fried... you really need a JTAG service or a Box like octopus because your L9 is Hard-bricked...
Thanks for your opinion. Yet, I still want to hear from others.
I'm running into more and more problems with the L9 as their me grows.
-Fastboot doesn't work under Windows 8.1 and 10, but under the now obsolete(for me) Windows 7, unlike my other devices, which are fine with Win 10.
-ADB seems to work, but requiring the device to be still able to boot.
-I always boot to recovery from within Android as long as the L9 ain't bricked. After a failed rom install, during which the sd card failed(could no longer write or be formatted afterwards, the last time stamps of files and folders were set during the failed install) I discovered a problem with TWRP(Artas182x's and Edwin's), which may have been present since a long time: Trying to invoke TWRP via keypress will brick the device!
So, if my P760 no longer boots, there's only download mode available, sort of the final line of defense.
-There's sort of a trick if even download mode fails: After a failed attempt unplug phone, force switch-off, if the phone is in brick state. Then switch on, force switch-off again, and only then attempt download mode again. And have patience while holding down the vol button, it might take up to 20 seconds for the phone to switch itself on into download mode. (A single forced powerdown will cause Fastboot NOT to work the next time)
But I'm absolutely clueless about the recovery issue, for now TWRP is semi-working, can only be accessed via Android, as long as the phone is fully working.
W/o Fastboot, I now have flashed stock rom several times and rooted it with Kingo rooter just to be able to run Flashify to install TWRP. If Flashify is the culprit for the TWRP issues, I could need a recommendation for a better working app.

Tried OMAP flasher ? It needs memory configuration file in order to work with our device
No, I didn't. I have sold the phone for spares.
Inviato dal mio LG-D855 utilizzando Tapatalk
I never needed the OMAP drivers and tools. As they are ancient, they will probably make even more problems with newer Windows versions.
I could by no means invoke Fastboot on this device with Windows 8.1 and 10, Seven worked. So you had to go for Download Mode instead to recover to stock rom, then root with the Kingo tool, then install TWRP via Rashr or Flashify, the most time consuming way to recover from the frequent bricks.
And the LG Flash Tool 2014 always needed several attempts to get the job done. The latest official recovery tool from LG works in D/L Mode, but will always download the rom image anew.
Hi all!!
Yesterday i tried to install android 4.4 but the procces didnt succeed, it stuck at. LG boot logo. So i decided to restore my backup in ckockworkmod,it started the process then stopped at the phase "restoring /system" . I waited about a half hour, and because it didnt take the much time before, i took out the battery. I read somewhere that formatting the system partition in cwm could help, so i did that. Then i retried restoring my backup. It stuck at the same phase. Later i downloaded the official kdz, and decided to flash it. I could bring the phone in update mode, but the process stopped at 15% at lg update manager.
At the moment i can get into clockworkmod, but cant restore /system . The update mode is also okay. I dont know that fastboot works or not. I havent tried it yet. Please help me thanks in advance
@trapistasajt
You will need to get fastboot working and use lelus's fastboot script to flash the "u" and "x" loaders for the device and then perform the offline or online flash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292828
Also as you found out you cannot flash custom roms without ulocking the bootloader first and you cannot use the L9 CWM bootstrap recovery for Locked Bootloaders, too flash custom roms.
try this online flash methode with B2CAppSetup

i had the same probleme and i fixed it .
My bootloader is unlocked. I tried the fast boot method, but it doesnt go further than "Waiting for omap...." . So, i couldnt go into fastboot (probably my fault). Yesterday i sent it to the service. If they notice that my varranty is void (because of the unlocked bl) and send it back, i will try it once more. I would be very thankful if someone could write a noob friendly-fastboot guide. As i read, lots of people are struggling with the same problem. Thanks in advance!!!
You have to use LGMobile Support Tool (Install drivers from it first) Then enter in download mode conecting the phone to pc pressing vol+ and the rest its automatic.

It didnt go further than searching for "omap device", so i couldnt load fast boot, as i said. my phone is still in the service
If they 'll send it back to me, because of unlocked bootloader, i wil try it once more. Any suggestions?

I dont know about fastboot.
LG Mobile support tool let you download the correct drivers. Then connect your phone while u keep pressing vol+ and it enters in SW Upgrade mode. Then just click "additional features" and "upgrade error recovery"

It shows something about firmware ir will restore. Ir will flash the latestbfirmware from original carrier release.
For example i actuallybhave v20L but my original carrier only released v10a. It will restore to v10a
None of them works, other ideas?
This fastboot method worked for me in 5 min, pay close attention to the instructions and it works!

Spent days with LG update tool which if you read the log has no url for files to download.
Good luck!
I got my phone back from the service. They didnt repair it, because my varranty is void. I tried the methods mentioned above.
First, I tried flashing kdz, (with the solution for post-jb problem), but i couldn't get into S/W mode, which was available before the service.
Second, since i couldn't load S/W mode, the LG upgrader wasn't successfull, too
Third, fastboot still not work.
I am sure, that im not the only person with this problem, since it happened during installing @artas182x 's JB 4.4 rom. Please @artas182x or somebody write a noob-friendly guide/suggestion which may help to unbrick my beloved phone. Thanks!!!!!
