So I rooted my sister's optimus v about a month ago. Today she installed a battery mod app from applanet and as soon as she chose which battery mod she wanted she had to restart her phone for the changes to be applied, but when rebooting the phone it would only get stuck in reboot. So I tried to start it up in recovery and got the blue screen that says fastboot mode started. I looked that up online and found a fix to it but I need it to go into emergency mode to fix it that way and it will not go into emergency mode, any combination of keys only takes it to either the blue screen with the fastboot mode message or it just reboots and gets stuck. So now what do I do? I really need to find a way to fix her phone. Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help.
try to turn on the phone & use LGMobile update tool. That should recognise the phone & install original lg fw

I managed to finally get the phone into emergency mode. I had installed the LG mobile support tool and installed all the drivers and tried to go that route but it kept telling me I only had one of four drivers installed, even though I have installed several drivers. After all of that I had finally got it into emergency mode so I went back to trying KDZ. I'm supposed to select the rom where it asks for the KDZ file right? But when I go to browse for the rom file it doesn't show up in the folder I put it in. I've rooted 4 phones and have done so many other things with them and never bricked one, was always able to figure out everything I did and never had to ask any questions but I can't figure this out to save my life and it is driving me crazy. I do really appreciate you guys for the suggestions and thanks to your suggestions I have gotten this far.
Hey, I have the same problem. I rooted my phone then I installed that battery mod app on applanet. I installed it then when I had to restart my phone for it to apply it just got stuck and kept looping the reboot screen where it says "ANDROID". Did you get ur fixed yet?

I'm having the same issue right now, although at least you have managed to get it into emergency mode. How did you do it?
The other issue I'm seeing is that there is no .kdz for the Optimus V LGVM670. I found a .cab file that is supposed to be the newest update, but not even sure that will work with the the kdz manager.
It was my sister's phone and I had the same problem with kdz. Had the cab file so couldn't use it with kdz. My sister left her phone with me for a few days to try to fix it and when I couldn't she took it home and managed to fully brick it to where it would do nothing at all so she had to get a new phone. I got it into emergency mode by holding down the volume and it was either the back button or the home button I pushed at the same time, can't remember which. As I held those down I plugged in the USB cord that was connected to my laptop and it went right into emergency mode. Just make sure you disable that LG modem in the device manager on the computer before doing anything because my sister forgot to do that and that is how she fully bricked her phone. Good luck to you guys and if anyone figures out how to fix it I would be interested in knowing how you did it.

hmmmmm, I don't remember completely how I did it, but there was a very helpful guide floating around XDA. I bricked my Mom's Optimus one as well . I actually had to go to the LG support site, type in my Phone serial number and find a list of all the firmware available. From there I right clicked the page and got the page source. From there I got my firmware and I entered it in the KAZ or LG B2I Agent ? - Dont quite remember. Anyways, it ended up working out for me, but I accidentally flashed the German firmware, but in the end, everything was all good LOOL.
Stuck in "loop" after OTA 2.3.5 update on rooted Photon. Any way to get out of this?
Just curious if anyone knows any trick to get out of this loop.
I've got a rooted photon with 2.3.4, and I've been getting the notification to update to 2.3.5 from Sprint.
The message states that "a new update is available for your phone", and I've just been clicking the "install later" option because I know it doesn't work if my phone is rooted and I have a custom boot loader.
So I think this morning when my alarm was buzzing to wake me up the software update screen popped up and I accidentally clicked "Install now" when I was trying to snooze the alarm.
It rebooted into my bootloader, says it's trying to apply the update, and then says that it failed.
When I reboot the phone, it boots up like everything is normal, I get to my regular homescreen and then it realizes that the update didn't apply so it restarts immediately into bootloader, and the update fails all over again.
Does anyone know of any way to get out of this loop? Like, there has to be some flag flipped in the main system that's telling it that it needs to reboot to apply the OTA update. Is there a way to turn this flag off so I can keep using my phone like it was?
In the mean time I did a nandroid backup of the current state, and then restored an old nandroid backup from several months ago so I could use the phone for now (which sucks cuz I've made alot of little changes since then).
I haven't been on the site for a while, and I'm really busy throughout the day so I don't really have that much time to search through dozens of old threads, even through I tried looking for similar issues (considering if a fix for this problem exists it was probably discussed when this OTA update first popped up several months ago).
I'm sure this question has been asked a bunch so flame away if you must, but I'm just hoping someone can point me in the right direction if a fix or trick exists to get out of this situation without having to completely wipe my whole phone and start over.
Thank you,
--Hammy
I flashed cwm via nandroid manager, got the security error and i have been trying to fix the issue since. Unfortunately, Now my phone will only go into S/W Upgrade mode. The problem is i have tried flashing the x&u boot for ICS to reflash back to normal but the phone auto exits S/W mode at 15% or 8%. Have tried with JB x&u boot, doesnt read phone for install. The version of android im running is 20h. Have tried online mode, wont restore at all.... Have flashed a stock recovery through fastboot to no avail. Phone isnt even charging now.... HELP! Please.
Update:
For some reason, the phone wants to all of a sudden work. I will NOT turn the phone off. Thanks for the guides all of you that have taken the time to make them. I dont remember all of you but thank you for your hard work and dedication to trying to make us happy. Keep up the level of awesomeness.

i hope KDZ will work
I've been trying to fix this phone for 3-4 weeks now with no luck, so I figured this would be the right place to come.
I was way too tired and I was trying to use ROM Manager to try and flash a ROM that WAS NOT meant for my phone. Long story short I got stuck in a boot loop. I get past the Pantech logo then I hang at the AT&T logo. All I have access to is the bootloader menu and stock recovery - I can get to fastboot through the bootloader menu and I can get to ADB Sideload through recovery.
I've tried everything I can think to do with no luck. Then last night I got the update.zip for last year's OTA JB update. Through sideload I tried: adb sideload c:\adb\flex-jb-update.zip
It pushes the update to the phone and unpacks it fine. But after 24% or so I get an error on the phone and the installation gets aborted. It says something about the AT&T Family Map apk.
If I could get any pointers that would be great, 'cause I'm really not looking to send it back to AT&T. Last year I bricked my phone and I knew it wouldn't be covered by insurance so I smashed my phone to pieces and told AT&T that it got ran over by a car. Worked once, probably won't work again.
Any help would be great.
Thanks In Advance,
TJ
Just tried re-signing the update.zip and doing it again. I got the same error.
After "Verifying current system..." I get "assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/ATTFamilyMap.apk" , "3014be541877900d308d9ca725ef507c96c33af8" , "1ea33a46e2d5330e30dca81aa4f9ecb52461677c")
Installation aborted.
Urgggg.
Hello all, got a bit of a strange issue here. So I was using the 30b release from runningnak3d, https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/development/h901-t-mobile-nougat-v30b-twrp-t3639203
I was selling my v10, so I did a reset, skipped or hit next to everything, and verified that all was working. I sold the phone and a couple days after the buyer got it, he told me it was bootlooping. I asked what he did and of course the first time he said nothing, just turned it on. After more conversation, he said when he got it it booted and after a while told him an upgrade was available. He said he accepted the upgrade, and afterwards got the bootloop.
I got the phone back today to try to fix it and give it back to him. Here's what I have found. Definitely bootlooping, stops at T-Mobile logo and reboots. It does still have the unlocked bootloader, still shows the warning right at boot. TWRP is gone! I booted to recovery, answered Yes to those 2 questions, and it did a reset instead of loading TWRP.
I really have no idea what he did, whether is was an OTA update or maybe he tried to load something on his own.
So, is there any hope of getting this thing going again? So far I was able to boot it into download mode, but it won't respond to any fastboot commands. My computer detects it, but in computer management it says LGE USB modem or something like that. When I try to regular boot, the computer does detect the phone, but it doesn't get far enough along to issue ADB commands. I'm thinking it's a paperweight at this point, so I'm game to try whatever.
