Hello,
- i'm the proud owner of an LG P500, i mannaged to "kill" it alot of times, one time i bricked it so bad the power button was useless. I'm going to tell you how i always manneged to fix it.
1. - install the USB DRIVERS for LG P500 Download LINK
2. - extract the KDZ archive , install msxml.msi, Download LINK, Download Froyo 2.2.2. v10E.kdz after that open >> KDZ_FW_UPD.exe, select type 3GQCT and mode DIAG (select this only if your phone starts when you connect the USB and the battery charging logo apears) if the phone starts in Emergency Mode or dosen't start at all >> remove battery and while holding the BACK and volume UP buttons connect the USB, the phone should start in Emergency Mode, after that select in KDZ, MODE > EMERGENCY, select file > V10E_00.kdz and press the "Launch software update" .
- wait for KDZ to do it's job ( until it says FINISHED) after it is finished it will reset the phone (alot of times the phone wolden't start after reset and i had to start it manualy @power button) an LG logo should apear , then an Android logo, wait about 5 - 10 min (the phone should start and you will have froyo 2.2.2. working), but if the Android LOGO stops or lags for 2,3 seconds then you must remove battery , put it back , and power on the phone. if it dose the same thing , then you must reflash your phone. Usualy it works with the battery on and simply flashing under DIAG mode.
- after reflashing if you have the same problem , you must remove battery and try installing it DIAG mode. if it still dosen't work enter emergency mode ( UP + BACK + connect USB (or press the power button)) and reflash using KDZ , MODE >>> EMERGENCY.
- when phone is connected go to COMPUTER > PROPERTIES > DEVICE MANAGER > MODEMS > and disable LGE Modem.. (some say it helps i diden't saw any difference.)
- as i was saying i killed my phone alot of times, KDZ always helped me bring it back to life , be patient.. and if you get alot of errors and flash meny times the phone gets hot , leave it to cool for a while and then try again.
be patient !! hope this will help you ..
sorry for my bad english !!

Bricked my phone beyond recovery
i totally bricked my phone, while i was using kdzupdater something went wrong . Finally had to go to the LG service center ( hope my warranty is not void in India). Well they said the phone is not responding to software it will need a new PCB. So my phone goes for like 2-3 days away from me.
As posted before, It's already been posted on here but great work nonetheless. It's better to have more posts like these then have more people posting about how to unbrick there phone.
Thanks for the post... I was a little unsure about flashing via KDZ, but this thread actually points few ways of procedure in case of things going wrong...
I think, this thread is pretty helpful and complements well with the others regular "how to" threads!

Yesterday, i've tried to go to recovery mode in powermenu [ROM CM7 nightly 1], but phone just stuck at lg logo. Then I've tried to unbrick it with KDZ. Something in first progress steps happened, and now my phone do not show any signs of life. Also I have no warranty.But i can fix it, i searched on every forum, and did not found anything, that would work. So is there any way i could unbrick my phone ?
Thanks
P.s.
And maybe i could fix it somehow using JTAG, but using arduino as that thing ? ( I don't have an arduino, but I am planing to have one)
It worked on my device , thank you:good:

How did you brick it? I'd you can't get into download mode then it might be hardbricked.
Take it to a Samsung sevice centre and tell them it just stopped working, act all innocent like you don't even know what odin is.

You'll need a custom recovery to install the Arome file manager. And there's no guarantee that method will work for your phone and the update it is on either as this is not a universal fix (there is none).

Or you could figure out why your device is not recognized by Odin. Likely suspects:
PC Drivers (most common - uninstall all Samsung drivers, reboot, and reinstall Kies)
USB cord (even though it might work to charge or on other devices, it is possible that the cord is not working right in Download mode from like a bent pin)
USB ports on PC (try different ones or different PC)
USB port on the phone (yes, this can be damaged and cause drivers not to load correctly, even if it charges fine)

Thank you so much
i solved the problem hours ago ...
and now i'm going to put the solution to anyone else with the same issue :
My Device is : galaxy mini 2 gt s6500d
it wass locked with pattern , and it require Gmail password to Enter ( i don't have it )
i tryed booting to recovery mode , no install zip File
so i installed different recovery mode by following this tutorial

and video tutorials from youtube
(Odin3 v1.85+cwm-6.0.3.2-jena-build-2.tar.md5)

after that i followed this tutorial to install aroma

after that i followed this tutorial to delet settings database
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783330
( note : i deleted it manually using amora in recovery mode , i deleted : /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db)
And Baaaam Device is working very well ( no more ugly screen to enter the gmail + password )
Note : i tried a lot of explanations in the forum like :
deleting gesure.key : i didn't found the gesture.key
Pattern Password Disable.zip : it didn't disable anything
delet gesture.key using the cmd in amora file manager : i tried :
-su
-rm *.key
in data/system path
and it didn't work
i also tried : rm gesture.key , didn't work
_
i also copied accounts.db to the internal storage and mounted it to pc , and tried to Unlock The Gmail password , But unfortunally it's encrypted with a SHA1 hashing algorithm. Since SHA1 is a one-way algorithm there is no reverse function to convert hash to original sequence .
That's it Guys i gived You all my 20 Hours carrier

I hope you understand me.
my phone is samsung galaxy gio.thanx
what happend with your phone?? was it rooted how did you get black screen? please mention
I tried with ClockWorkMod-6.0.4.7-gio and after reboot was not open. screen does not light in any way. I tried with usb jig and as no response. In odin sees connected but when I do make recovery remains blocked as mentioned above.
First make sure that your device is connectrd to your pc.
make sure you have installed this device before in same pc means you have drivers installed.
now download and open ADB driver installer is your device showing here? or download and open adb shell and type adb devices
is your device listed here??
which version of odin you are using?
flash rom needs download mod open in your device.
whuch rom you are using custom or stock
use stock rom to flash if available for your device.
or care will your last hope...
If I had installed diver for samsung galaxy s5660 odin does not see in 4.42 that I use and I show that it is connected. But as I said at the the setup hangs and freezes. I left and jump at everything froze and nothing goes on .I used and rum stock ie S5660XXKPA and it remains frozen. I do not know what his can do so I can switch the setup can complete the update.
This is called hard brick
As i know you cant flash rom without opening download mode in your device
as you cant have all the factory softwares and data cable to connect your motherboard properly to your pc and flash everything.
All i have to do is suggest you to contact Samsung care...
yes is hard brick. thanx.
Eventually there is a solution to this problem. one can revive this phone to function . ? much please help me . a tutorial. Thank you very much .
any idea to resolve gio?
nobody, not ist software this device as hard bricked?
