LG Thrive/p506 Unbrick Guide - Optimus One, P500, V General

This is a last resort. Simply because it takes too much time and effort and because it might not work at all.
If you have tried to flash the Optimus/p500 kdz to your Thrive/p506 phone in hopes of factory resetting or getting out of emergency mode you will be stuck in a mode where the phone only boots to emergency mode immediately. (You don't get the LG boot screen.) This is because the kdz flash fails when attempting to write the optimus base band to your phone corrupting the base band. (or so I've figured out. If someone knows the real reason please correct me.)
To re-flash your base band you need: (I can't post links yet. I'll go post around in some thread now.)
- LGMDP mediafire.com/?3bi3247slaoitub
- Stock Files or P506 Stock Files with AmonRa Recovery (only AmonRa recovery mediafire.com/?0yyxt2vv7zw2pvy)
- LG United Drivers
- LG Mobile Support tool
- Virtual Box with Windows XP (Tested with my computer)
What?! Virtual box with Windows XP? This is the reason why this guide is a last resort. Unless anyone else knows how to cause LGMDP to timeout at "Version Checking" when selecting your com port you wont need this. LGMDP needs to time out at "Version Checking" so you can identify your phone as a p500 or p505 allowing you to flash the stock files to your phone. (I've heard/read that the p506 and p500 have the same board and even the same partition layout.) Using Virtual box lags the OS and the serial port causing LGMDP to time out.
~ WARNING!!! ~​I am not responsible for any further bricking of your device/s and the time you have lost if this method doesn't work. This method is not 100% likely to work. I'm not entirely sure if this is a US base band either. If your network doesn't work after flashing then that's a downside. (Mine doesn't get signal or detect my sim card. Perhaps someone with a working Thrive base band could somehow dump theirs and share it with others)
- Get Virtual box running with Windows XP (No guide for this, look one up yourself) and make sure to install the VirtualBox Extension Pack.
- On your normal OS download LGMDP and the stock files to a USB drive. (or download them to the Virtual OS)
- Take the battery and charger out of your phone, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds and place the battery back into the phone. Next hold Back+VolUp+Power until Emergency mode appears. (I know that it automatically goes into Emergency mode, but it doesn't detect the phone when it auto boots to it.)
- Install the LG United Drivers and the LG Support tool to the Virtual OS.
- Connect your phone and flash drive to the Virtual OS.

- Browse to LGMDP and execute the program. Press "Select Port" and choose the only one available. Then press connect,
- If LGMDP does not time out at "Version Checking" and nothing happens for a while, close LGMDP and repeat the last step.
- If you do succeed select p500 or p505 as the model.
Picture goes Here
- ATTEMPT TO DO AN NV BACKUP. Without your nv you wont get signal. or so I've read
- Click Browse for "Image Folder" and browse for your p506 files folder.
- Once selected all of the parts should be checked. Un-check all EXCEPT the following:
- Partition Table
- QCSBL Header
- QCSBL
- OEMSBL Header
- OEMSBL
- AMSS Modem Image Header
- AMSS Modem Image
- RECOVERY Image
(If you would like to do a factory reset, feel free to leave them all checked.)
Picture goes Here
- Click "Start" and it will immediately start flashing your phone.
- ATTENTION! LGMDP will most likely freeze when flashing your phone. If it were to freeze simply do a battery pull (full shutdown) and repeat the process. (It takes time, but it won't corrupt your phone. Probably.)
- The phone should automatically reboot when it's done. Do a battery pull and boot into recovery Home+VolUp+Power (If you used AmonRa Recovery) and flash any rom.

Has anyone successfully tried this?
I too have corrupted the base band on my lg p506 and am waiting to attempt this unbricking guide.

This guide works great! Thanks for writing it up!

Thanks XDleader555, but didn't work on mine.
However I tried this few simple steps and it worked for me, so anyone with a similar problem may try this one.
REMEMBER!!!! this is also a last resort, Do this if you have no other option and I will not be responsible for further bricking of your device.
1. Download the flashing tool:
LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix
2.Download the custom lg thrive kdz firmware
custom_lg_Thrive from 4shared (search exact key word "custom_lg_Thrive" )
3.connect the device via USB
4. open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe, set Phonemode to diag and type to 3GQCT
5. select the kdz file you downloaded
6. click the launch software update button
7. sit back and wait, it takes some time

Sent from my LG-P506 using XDA Free mobile app

I know this is a really old thread but I found my old thrive in a drawer. I tried to revive it many years ago but I didn't succeed so I have forgetten about it. Three days ago, I found it again and I tried to revive it again and after trying many other tutorials, this is the only one that has worked so far.

I started the phone

Good recovery was putting a optimus Lg one of the traditional way to copy some files to the SD and then open the mobile terminal and enter some commands, when he was on the last line error I came out there was not enough memory and I gave restart, well and stay there every time I get the following message I turn
fastboot mode started
udc_start ()
hopefully could guide me in resolving this problem
pardon my English but it is google translator
Ok, well, I don't know much about this, but once I figured out that in the SDK folder, together with ADB there is a tool called fastboot
So, open cmd.exe and type cd <path to your fastboot.exe folder>
Now on, if you type fastboot you will get a list of available commands.
The fact that your phone starts with that message should mean that your recovery (and boot aswell) cannot start. So, you should install a boot from fastboot tool (I GUESS, as I never had the chance to try it).
Another chance (which is lot easier) should be to use KDZ Update. So, search on XDA or Google for the KDZ tool and a .kdz update file for froyo 2.2.x
Then, connect your phone to the USB and disable LG modem from your control panel.
Open KDZ and select "3GQCT" as Type and "DIAG" as phonemode. Then select your .kdz file and start. The program will detect your phone and install the system + boot. It should work. If it doesn't, do it again with EMERGENCY as phonemode.
Just one recommendation, if the update fails, DO NOT UNPLUG THE PHONE AND DO NOT UNPLUG YOUR BATTERY or there will be a real chance to brick the phone.
Hope this helps, the second way worked for me, even if after a day i bricked my phone lol
EDIT: ciaox just made a VERY useful guide that you should follow to fix your phone. Click on this LINK
KDZ and off using the modem option LG: I
Computer> Manage> Device Manager> Disable modem lg
then start the KDZ in the two options you listed and I get the
following message:
12:54:10: Launching SW update
12:54:10: Unpacking KDZ
12:54:22: KDZ extracellular file
12:54:29: Files Were extracted.
12:54:29: LGMobileDL Load.
12:54:29: Port = -1
12:54:29: Connecting to phone
12:54:30: PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!
12:54:32: FINISHED === ===
I forgot to tell you that you must install msxml.msi (it comes together with KDZ updater).. if it still does not work, try to shake the phone, sometimes it helps.
Though, it would be better if you follow the guide provided!

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.

[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.

Soft-Bricked GT540g vs frozen KDZ Updater

Okay guys, I think my phone has a soft brick (no boot logos), so I'm trying to do some restoration... but I'm not having much success.
So, I found a solution in XDA (/showthread.php?t=825173&page=3) saying that I should plug my phone in without battery, SD nor chip and disable the "LG Modem" on my Device Manager. Afterwards, start KDZ Updater and configure it to CS_EMERGENCY. Then I should install a 2.1 French firmware and as soon as KDZ finishes I'd plug off my phone, plug it back in and start it in DL mode again, this time flashing a file named "OUT.kdz", which gives back the boot logos.
Problem: KDZ Updater hangs as soon as I press "Start". It simply freezes when it's in CS_EMERGENCY. I have no solution to this whatsoever, and I also have another thread with previous problems I ran into (Soft-Bricked LG GT540 Optimus).
These are the best forums I've found for any kind of phone, so I'm positive I'll get the help I need, even if I might need to wait some time. Kudos to the admins and every member for taking part of such a great community!​

I've fixed all my issues! I'll paste what I said in another thread. Yay for one-full-year struggles!
Just wanted to leave my 2 cents here, I've been trying to do my best since around august 2014, no success. 2 days ago I retried this, and I DID IT! I will tell everyone what I did very shortly:
My problem that I solved: I can boot, device works like a charm. But: no boot logos, no recovery.
My solution for TL;DR: UNINSTALL ALL DRIVERS FROM DEVICE MANAGER 1ST, then reinstall. After that, flash a fastboot ROM and use it to WIPE ALL THE DATA IN YOUR PHONE! THIS was what I needed and was never explained: you had to WIPE the old data in order to get the boot screens back.
IN THIS ORDER (THANK YOU to those people from previous replies, gathering all your info was of great value):
Uninstall all of your phone drivers from your PC!!! This is what made most of my headaches go away, just use Device Manager and uninstall anything from LGE. After that, plug in your device in your USB ports (always BACK ports, not front ports, important). It should detect all drivers and download them.
IF it fails (it generally does with LGE USB Modem), you can go to Device Manager > Unknown Device (the one that wasn't recognized) > Right Click and Update > Choose 2nd option, then choose "choose from a list of local controllers" (or whatever the button says). After that, scroll down to LG Electronics, Inc. and install what didn't install.
I also found these drivers, but I did not test them: http://www.mediafire.com/download/p693hcz6kkouh19/USB_Driver_LG_GT540.zip
Huzzah!
Now you're set to begin:
FIRST thing you wanna do is a factory reset, this is something I'd forgotten with time, don't make the same mistake as I did. You can do it by turning your phone on and pressing Volume +/- & Home & Quick Search buttons all together for 5 seconds (it works, be patient and wait for it, even if you open the camera or any other stuff).
Download this Google SDK Tools (unzip and put the folder in C:\ drive) and this Fastboot drivers for GT540 (unzip and put the files inside the folder in C:\android-sdk).
Skip this next line if you know your ROM has fastboot.
Now, if you don't have a ROM with fastboot, I recommend you use either European Open+Fastboot or V20C Orange France Fastboot ROM.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since you have Fastboot enabled, now all you need to do is turn off your device (all this with its battery on it, no weird things) and hold the Camera button before turning it back on. This should take you either to a black screen, or simply to no display, like me. Either one will work anyways.
Now press the Windows key > Type cmd and open it with Right Click > Run as Administrator.
In it, type all this, command by command (you can paste by right clicking):
cd C:\android-sdk
fastboot -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase system
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now it's go time! Do what everyone else says in here: Take out your phone's battery, SD and SIM cards, fire KDZ Updater up as Administrator (If your KDZ freezes, then it's either faulty or you did not install msxml, look for a good KDZ that comes with that file and delete your current one), choose CS_Emergency PhoneMode and:
1-Plug your phone while holding the volume DOWN button (don't worry! My phone didn't show "Download Mode" either, if you hear the Windows "Somethingpluggedin" Bump noise, it's ok).
2-Flash French V20A
3-Unplug your phone once KDZ says "==FINISHED==".
4-Plug it once again, holding the volume DOWN button.
5-Flash out.kdz (remember! it's CS_Emergency).

the s / w upgrade does not pass 50% LG L9

Good evening, I have in my hands a smartphone lg p778g does not pass me the logo to light following a simple copy of the folder whatsapp internal memory to the microsd (it was blocked after you copy and to restart it and did not initiate more ... it stays in the LG logo when turned on and there does not pass.
I tried to hard reset with vol (+ or -) buttons + home + power but rather than get out the menu of recovery I get the doll android slept with a triangle exclamation and there is no way to enter the menu that tightening no buttons.
Then I looking for information online found the utility tool flash, did all the steps as marked, I installed the drivers perfectly, the PC detects me the phone without problems, but always in the middle of the update (put the mobile mode s / w upgrade ) 50% program lg cancel the process by saying that there has been an unknown error and try try again by disconnecting and connecting the mobile, but no way, I give retry to to try again and again it hangs at 50% and I jump the error screen again.
I wonder if there is some other program where you can do the hard reset this phone than by the official LG utility, or by microsd.
The operating system used is Windows 7 64-bit, disable the Windows firewall and antivirus and run as administrator utility tool flash lg 2014, but always the same. I also tried running the utility lg mobile support tool directly to you directly seeking the most updated for lg p778g firmware, but it's the same as using the lg flash tool 2014, the 50% of the upgrade stops and gives me the message error.
A greeting and I hope you can help me, I need the phone !!
We'd need someone with a p778g. The problem may be be caused by the special branding of the phone, or an encrypted bootloader. Or the internal flash got completely cleared, partitions and baseband rom, which means a full brick. Otherwise flashing stock in D/L mode should work, even if anything else fails. But this goes mainly for LGs official tool working online. With the LG Flash Tool 2014 i had also problems.
I think both tools have to ways to perform the unbricking. Either with the phone put in D/L mode by the user (if Fastboot don't work on the PC), or by recognizing the phone (but with a still running system) via ADB, then auto-switching to Fastboot. And you should also be able to attach the phone when it's already in Fastboot mode. The latter methods don't work on both my systems under Win10. When my desktop pc had been upgraded to 8.1, i performed all servicing of the L9 with my netbook, which was still on Seven.
My last unbrick was months ago, and i don' t know what happens at 50%. It's something important, and knowing it may help to understand the nature of the problem(loss of contact between phone and pc before the actual process starts, errors during flashing...).
It could be like this:
-phone seems to get recognized by driver&tool, that is good
-image gets downloaded(only with the official tool)
-image gets temporarily extracted on the pc(both online and offline). I fear that by completing the extraction the 50% mark is reached, and that no actual writes to the phone can be performed.
And LG's stock recovery, which calls itself "service mode" or "s/w mode" can be mistaken for D/L mode. I'm talking about the D/L mode, which is also present with a custom recovery, but theoretically D/L mode, S/W mode and Fastboot could be used for unbricking

If i was you:
1) Enter in bootload mode using LELUS Method
2) Flash a TWRP 3.0.2 recovery
3) In TWRP recovery format all partitions
4) Install a custom rom
5) Enjoy
