Another help-wanted thread. Bricked (i think) phone - Optimus One, P500, V General

Ok, basically I wanted to downgrade to froyo in order to reflash mikos rom to have data and gsm, i downgraded with KDZ, all went great, but when i tried to boot it just blocked at boot animation i mean it took forever (Well i waited ~10 minutes twice or 3 times) and I said, hm okay i will try to use kdz again maybe it will work, when i tried to use again KDZ to update the rom (still the same rom tho) i got an error and when i reboot the phone it goes directly to emergency mode. If i try to use KDZ updater it says that the phone is not found, if i try to use lg software update agent (i think thats the name of the software) it also can't found the phone.
I installed many lg drivers from many sources but when i installed lg drivers from lg update agent thingy it bugged my pc internet connection(is working now) and now im writting from fedora (linux). If i try here to use trough wine KDZ still no luck, maybe i will try with my 2nd PC with windows xp to do it but i donno if it will work i guess not. (tried earlier, don't ask )
So is there any way that i can bring my phone back to life?
Thanks in advance
later edit: yes i disabled modem driver, also tried with it on, still no luck
later later edit: LG software update see my phone but at "analysis" it says "please disconnect he cable from your cell phone in order and remove and connect the batter. power on your cellphone and press the restart button to resume update" i did that and after i press "the resume button" it loads and say that again...
The error from KDZ:

Remove your battery, push it back in.
Do a hardware reset -> home + volup + power.
Then try KDZing again.
Remember, after KDZing do a hardware reset again after the process is done.
Sometimes reinstalling the USB drivers does the trick.
Also, some users reported that on 'shaking' [yeah it sounds weird but its true] your phone, it gets recognised by the PC.

Now the Phone gets stuck at this command as below !!
Fastboot mode started

I followed the steps given on that thread
My pc shows new device found ANDROID. Device is not getting detected
But on this step in cmd

it shows < waiting for device >
i too got such problem.
while holding down back +Vol down connect your phone to pc .It will enter into emergency mode.Then your Computer might detect it.
Can anyone of u help me ???? My phone is still stuck with Fastboot mode
Basically on a windows machine you download kdz updater and uncompress it as it is a zip file.
Download from here.
This is what I did on an xp laptop.
I had to down load the drivers from the official lg site. when here you enter the code that is on the box the phone came in or under the battery.
Chose the your county and laguage from the drop down box at the top right of the dialogue box. Then from the middle you can choose the drivers. For some reason I had to find the files and click on them to install the driver.
Ok once you decompress kdz updater there are three seperate files to work with. 1. windows enabler. 2. msxml.msi 3.KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
You will also need to download the right file to restore with,You can find it with google.
Please check here the The_ERROR thread wich explains it very well:
[ROMS] Original LG Firmware list.
Install msxml now.
Now you have to boot the phone into rescue mode. On Lg Optimus One turn phone off even if it means taking out the battery.
Press power - volume up - back (this button is next to the home button).
Connect to usb now.Computer found new hardware and installed four drivers.
Then open device manager. Left click my computer - properties - device manager. You need to disable the lg modem driver. Left click on it and disable.
Now launch kdz updater. There will be a drop box on left set to 3gspt or similiar. on the right drop box set to diag. The long box just above the info box with a file at the side lets you browse to find restore file. e.g. V10a.00.kdz.
Double click the button below and let it do it's thing. Took 15min. My phone shut down and came up with an error at the last minute. Anyway I rebooted and all was good.
Everything was the way I left it. Just had to re-root.
My only real problem was getting the kdz installer to see the phone.
After installing the drivers restart pc. If it finishes quickly and just before saying finished it says phone not found try removing all phone related drivers including nokia pc suite and the lg suite and remove and reinstall the drivers.
Hope this is of some help to you.
Finally, Recovered my phone by flashing KDZ through Emergency mode.. No other method worked..

I had the same worries coz my pc did not detect my device at all..
I was trying to get pass the Fastboot mode.. But in the cmd when i tried to erase and re-install recovery it said waiting for device.. Luckily and finally after many tries i could enter emergency mode. Only then the phone got detected but fastboot didnot work there.. The Only way out was to Do the KDZ flash. I flashed the indian GB V20b and did a hard reset now. Flashed recovery and for now have left it with the stock rom..
I wonder now this problem arises due to custom roms.

Is the fastboot mode the so called "Brick-ing" of mobile device.?

this problem was cuz didn't perform the steps carefully.
This can called bricking but not fully . As it can be recovered.
Bricking is when your phone is as useless as a brick.

[Q] Optimus one bricked while backing up ROM using clockworkmod

this i have taken from another thread. I have similar problem with few more worse things along with this.
when I had rooted the phone, I had unchecked " USB Debugging". Also, I am stuck up at logo screen, device wont reset no matter what I try. It is just not reseting.
tried KDZ also, it says phone not found. This is the log info:

Note: The phone is not stuck up at Emergency Mode. It is just the boot screen, buttons are also not working.
Emergency Mode
Can you get into the emergency mode by starting the phone using the following key combination: back+vol down+power..?
try KDZ in that mode. Also make sure that all the drivers are properly installed, and that LGE virtual modem is disabled in the device manager.
Something like this happened to me too while I tried ROM Manager. Only after many trials, KDZ found my phone and did the job. Next time, try installing AmonRa... all the best..

shake the phone while it is connected(somehow works)

Thanks for replying. At last got it working.. For me back + vol up + power brought the phone to emergency.. after that I followed the steps given in this forum.
I even went ahead and installed CM7.2. My first experiment on my android. Things are fine for now. Now I am just looking to make it look better.

Getting out of Software update mode

I've been trying to flash my p768 device since the update for JB p768 came out.
So I started flashing the KDZ file, followed all the necessary steps and finally when the process is at 17 percent, flashing stopped saying there is a problem between connection of pc and phone. 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 17 percent. Now I cannot get out of Software update mode even if I remove the battery and start the device again. I know I made a newbie mistake..:crying:
Any help is appreciated, thanks a lot.
Hello,
If you were on ICS, you can use this method to unbreak your device :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
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/showthread.php?t=2217710)
- Wait and pray... It can be long because it downloads the last KDZ file from official LG servers
Good luck
EDIT : Important detail : while your phone is in "S/W Upgrade" mode, put back your battery (not empty) inside your phone or else your phone will probably stop during the recovery process.

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).

[Q] Help with unbricking LGE720

Hey folks,
its bricked due to FOTA (I think it stands for: firmware over the air) update. This means the phone downloads a firmware update without computer connection or further PC-Software. Alas it didn't work.
Situation:
Phone starts, displays LG Logo and after that an 'updating firmware' screen for about 1 sec before rebooting and doing it all over again.
What I tried to solve this:
set up a new Win 7 32 bit machine to try to unbrick it. (drivers didn't work correctly on 64 bit) at least the MCCI driver update didn't)
connected the phone with the PC in Emergency Mode (holding VOL_UP + VOL_DOWN + PWR while USB is connected)
downloaded B2CApp (LGSupport Tool) and installed the device drivers for Emergency mode.
disabled the Android(Modem) dirver
downloaded V10D_00.kdz from LG home page
using the phones IMEI and this link:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI_NUMBER_GOES_HERE
This gave me this link
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGE720/ADEUBK/V10d_00/V10D_00.kdz
I'm German so this seems all right, but I'm no expert​
installed msxml
ran KDZ_FW_UPD_EN and tried CDMA in CS_EMERGENCY Mode
A bunch of magic happend until the phone restarts during the process and is right back where we started, if I put it back to Emergency Mode while KDZ_FW_UPD_EN is still running the process finishes, but to no avail.
The log of this try is attached.
Where I am stuck now:
phone:
runs in Emergency Mode
is recognized by KDZ_FW_UPD_EN as well es LG Support Tool
Flashing via KDZ_FW_UPD_EN finishes
Flashing yields no result.
What else did I try
download V10C_00.kdz, as well as V10A_00.kdz from LG site and tried those with same result as with V10D_00.kdz
tried 3GQCT Type instead of CDMA
Wild guesses by me:
I need a different KDZ_FW_UPD_EN version, maybe different dll. I got it from here somewhre in a LG P500 related topic.
I messed up the driver install or need a different driver
LG hates me personally and planted this whole brick specifically to get to me.
The device really is permanently bricked, so I did all I could and there is nothing more to do? That would be sad, I hope I'm wrong here.
Additional Info:
The phone is not rooted and has never before been flashed. It ran with the same stock firmware since it was unwrapped.
The phone was not interrupted by power-loss during FOTA update.
The [read phone information] tool from KDZ_FW_UDP_EN crashes every time, maybe this tells somebody where things go wrong
Any help is appreciated. Ask for more info, if you need it.
Update - What else did I try:
I got the LG Support Tool to flash the Emergency Recovery all by itself runs till 99% --> reboots --> still stuck in same ol' bootloop
reentering Emergency Mode from the bootloop makes the Emergency Recovery finish with 100%, no error, but still bricked.
Regards
gimmeg
