where is this lg customer care? here: http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-P504 ?
is there other method, like using kdz?
thanks!
Just flash your p500 with kdz firmware updater. You´ĺl need ḱdz update program and the Gingerbread rom for p500 in kdz format. Don worry by name, it can flash roms too.
Refer here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060121
OR
flashing stock rom via LGDMP is best option, refer this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330684
I prefer LGDMP
(Don´t hesitate to use those programs because i have tried them once)

I have the P-504 in emergency mode and KDZ updater is the only software that will recognise it. I tried to flash the p500 firmware but that didn't work. Anyone have the 504 firmware in .kdz format? Or can you convert the .dz format to .kdz?

And Please, ive read posts on this forums about people who brick their phone by flashing zip roms, just because a few knuckle heads who cant read instructions brick their phone, no need to dismiss and scare away people.
If we dismiss every action that could brick your phone, dont bother having XDA forums =)
look up for a flashable zip with stock rom. You will lose root access.
I have tried with the P-500 firmware but it gives me an error code.18:27:37 : Smart : wParam = 100, lParam = 4008
18:27:37 : Step : Upgrade Error error code = 4008

Well, I just received my phone today and I decided to root it by following a guide. Little did I know that firmware I was rooting was not meant for this phone. Now the phone shows the Samsung screen for a split second and then it turns off.
Is there anything I can do to restore it back to normal? I only have access to download mode right now.

If you can get into download mode you're ok. You need to flash a stock rom and you'll be back to normal. Don't flash chainfire's root from the international thread because the kernel is not the same.

Already done
I hadn't rooted before the OTA ICS update (TELUS) but decided to finally root my phone and stuff....
i wasn't being really careful i guess and I just tried the one click odin method but I found out later this doesn't work on ICS i717.... hence my phone now seems to be bricked
it gets stuck on samsung logo. I really don't want to try and factory reset my phone and stuff... is there another way to try and unbricking this thing? I've now downloaded CWM on ma phone but I dunno how this is going to help...
PLEASE HELP ME!!
Look at my thread
That is a soft brick if it was brickd. It wouldnt do anything at all. If u have cwm download a rok. Wipe data/cache and flash it . You can also always jut use odin. To flash a tar

u have very less or even outdated rooting option on GB, better to upgrade ur phone to stock ICS v4.0.3 (dwnld the stock ICS v4.0.3 firmware pertained to ur region on www.sammobile.com and flash the same using 'ODIN'.
After successfull flash and booting of ICS on ur phone, u can use Siyah kernel( .tar file for ODIN) to root ur phone by flashing the same vide ODIN
U might have corrupted ur install. If there is no VERY important data, i would recommend you to wipe data/cache and download a new STOCK rom and install using odin hope this helps. P.S. Only use odin and stock rom it has less chances of bricking the phone.

Moderator, please dont close/delete this thread
I see many users hard bricking their devices after getting an error in KDZ/LGMDP. Please use these dangerous software only as a last resort to revert back to stock rom, in all other cases, you are advised to flash a zip of a stock rom
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda app-developers app
I use the KDZ with no problem a lot of times. The LGMDP I think it's a little more risky.
I had no problems with LGMDP and as a complete noob it wasn't hard - found a good thread with proper instructions and stuck to it. If you are going to play with something you don't understand I wouldn't be surprised if a phone or two was bricked. Doesn't mean the software is bad.

Define luck.. The software is programmed to run the same code everytime a specific button is clicked, so how come only 9 out of 10 retries with same procedure are successful? I just don't get that.
