bricked phone!!?!?! - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

ok so, sometime last week i grabbed my phone after my girlfriend was on it. (common) unlocked it, and the screen froze. i didnt think anything of it. mostly bc it has never happened. so i took the battery out and tried to turn it back on... well it stays on the LG LOGO for about 5-10 minutes then goes to a white screen and it says "ENCRYPTING" with a bar below it and below that it says "reset phone" it does nothing. i have had it on the charger trying to figure out what is wrong, nothing works, no soft reset, no hard reset. nothing. and i cant find any information on this anywhere.?!?!?!? am i the only one that this is happening to??? ATTENTION THE PHONE IS STOCK!

Does L9 go to s/w upgrade mode or fastboot mode?

You have to flash the stock ROM again. Use the Lelus offline flash method and you should bee fine.

I just used lg update tool. Put it in s/w mode and ran the tool. Took 45 min. It had that same screen since Sunday morning. Been searching ever since. It is now working.

optimus one dead

ok. i;ve done it.
i tried to install v10c europe unbranded and kdz updater gave me a param error and now my phone is completly dead. it doesnt start at all.
can i recover it somehow?
kdz updater doesn't see it any longer.
Does it show anything at all. Does the screen display the LG or android logo?
Try the hard reset. Press Vol down+Home+PowerButton till you see the LG logo come up. If things are fine then the phone should reset itself to original state.
Best of Luck.
BTW, did you again flash in CDMA and DIAG mode?
it doesnt start at all.
i dont know how to enter emergency mode.
it doesnt hard reset or anything. it looks dead.
i flash in 3g and diag.
Pretty strange that nothing comes up.
Just to experiment, when you plug in the charger (AC) does the phone begin to charge (do you seen the battery indicator come up).
And hopefully someone more experience will turn up and help you. I really don't have much idea...
I think you will find this useful http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540-optimus-gt540-modaco-com/321895/faq-gt540-reference-thread/
Remove battery and leave it few hours without it. After that run KDZ_UPD, configure (i think 3gs, diag, select FW - look on some how-to) without battery plug USB and press vol down+home and power on and still hold untill recovery appear. Then still try connect via KDZ.
I hope, that it will wokrs.
i will try to keep the battery out for a few hours.
i've tried to connect without battery and keep the buttons to start but with no luck.
the phone looks dead!
how can i enter emergency mode?
Is it start? Or if you press power button, is something happened or dipslay of phone is just black? If so, then probably nothing will help and you will have to send it to warranty service.
absolutly nothing happens. no power at all. not even when i plug in the charger.
will lg fix it for me? it was bought on 15 december this year, it has 3 days.
can they see that i have tried to flash another rom?
well that is why I don't play around with the kdz updater.
everyone ends up with their phone bricked at some point.
Try to get in emergency mode back+up volume+power.
Tell me if it works.
it doesnt get in emergency mode.
I had same problem with mine P500.I was tried to update to v10d something went wrong I got some errors and after few more tries my phone was completely dead.I was lucky and my phone was changed by operator.
I did some research before carrying it back to operator and it seems that the only way to resurrect phone is JTAG.But how to do it i have no idea if it can be done at all.
You can find some info here wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=JTAG_for_Dream/Magic[/url
If emergency mode doesn't work....(wait for someone with more exp to post :/ )
Kdz updater working fine. I try 3 different fw and have no problem.

Since you were flashing with original LG firmware, they shouldn't raise much issue. Just don't tell them that you used the KDZ updater....
BTW did you try the CS_Emergency under Phone Mode in the KDZ updater.
also dont give them the guilty look
the phone is completly dead, not detected by computer, even when i plug it in without battery holding vol up+back. NOTHING.
i think i will not have a problem at warranty because i think that the mb is surged, they dont have how to see that i have flashed, an official rom after all.
now, shoul i take it to lg? or to the retail store?

I'm hoping that you made a backup before you flashed the rom. If you did you should be able to boot into recovery and restore.
lol i think thats what i did. I backup everything using Titanium and rom manger on my sdcard. i just dont know how boot into recovery and restore. thanks for the reply
yep bricked...
All you can do now i's try to flash stock rom with kdz..

Here's the stock rom: csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP509BK/ATMOBK/V10l_00/V10L_00.kdz
and you'll need KDZ(run it in compatibility mode if using win7 64bit):

boot phone into emergency mode: Home+Volume Up+Power
connect to PC via USB and flash with KDZ in 3qct +Emergency mode

Use it as a vibrator from now on, if u can. Haha j/k.
Go for warranty and see what happens..
lol hmmm i wonder what males can do with that.....
i was thinking about doing that and see if i could pull a fast one on radioshack
You did a nand backup before flashing Megatron, right? If so, you should boot in recovery using Home + Vol Down + Power and restore it from there. If not, you have no alternative but flashing the rom again (or any other rom). Be sure to wipe everything from recovery before that.
If that fails, you should get the official rom for your location and flash it with kdz (there is a very well done guide here on XDA for doing that, search for it).
And consider flashing Void next time, is more stable and has the same features (and more) as Megatron (hwacc, jit, oc, stagefright etc).
In any case, if the phone boots, even if gets stuck on LG splash screen, it is not bricked. It can be re-flashed easily, just follow the steps in the guides.

press and hold down HOME + VOL DOWN while the phone is off, then turn it on, keeping that 2 buttons pressed until recovery appears.
But if you have used rom manager, this won't work. Your only chance to unbrick is this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314
rom manager don't support yet optimus t
The same happened to me when I flashed LOL rom. I was reading that it can sometimes take up to 5 minutes to reach the boot animation. My phone reached the boot animation in 6-7 minutes. How long did you wait before you removed the battery?
thats not working either. all i saw was a bunch of ppl with the same problem and eventually sent it to LG service
ummm like about 3 minutes cause i was freaking out lol. that could be it :/

I was about to pull mine out too after 3-4 minutes. I was freaking out also but had to go to the washroom when this happened. When I came back, the phone booted. If I didn't use the washroom, I would have bricked my phone, lol.
A lot of people have this problem because on the Optimus One it takes forever to load the first time. My samsung vibrant was extremely quick, 1 minute max
as soon as u send to warranty, the faster u get ur usable phone back
or just use it as vibrator

Sounds like a hard brick to me, if it wont come on at all and you tried all possible ways then your phone is done, I would sell the phone on ebay for parts and use the money towards a new phone.

You are not in '****'..if you still can enter on the start up to fastboot mode, then u can flaash it through KDZ..dont worry u can rescue your phone..
Sometimes it happened to me when battery was low or batt stats use wrong parameters, then I wasnt able to enter to the recovery and did stack with bootloop..

Charge the battery alternately
Try charging your O1's battery using other means. Like borrowing another O1 and charging your O1's battery using that. Then see whether your phone is responding in any way. If it is, I'm sure KDZ will help. Also see whether the USB port can be fixed. Otherwise, you'll be taking great risks again. All the best.

but the screen remains black and doesnt power on
Are you (at least) still under warranty ?
if YES, go to LG and try to convince them that was an accident (during an update)...
or just try another battery of your friends, the KDZ method worked for me too .

You can Hard reset with press vol-, home and power at time
or put on the USB cab then press vol+ and power button to start S/W Update , in the Computer using KDZ update to reinstall SoftWare for LG L9

You've not even tried and your phone is bootlooped? How do you it will clear booting after a hard reset, have you tried? Does it bootloop again once youve restored your apps?
No I haven't done anything to the phone conceive gotten it back in January. I am running jellybean tho. For two straight days if I restarted my phone after the hard 're s st it would stick either on the t-mobile 4g screen or load all the way up and the screen would switch from" android is updating" "loading apps" to my home screen. But phone would finish. I Let it sit for two hours like that. And nothing happened so I just hard reset it and it has worked fine since then. And I have restarted it since then. I was thinking it was my dad's cheap car charger doing it?..

[MetroPCS] LG Optimus L9 P76910b [Encrypting and com.android.phone]

Ok, where to begin. so i rooted my phone fine. i was trying to attempt to apply some hacks to swap external sdcard with internal but everything said i have to change my bootloader. rooted fine with some Chinese program. i tried rom toolkit for the bootloader unlocker. reboots, but nothing. so i found an APK file that you run on the phone itself, that you hit an unlock button and it reboots. it said it supported my model etc. but now when i turn it on it goes past the MetroPCS screen into a white screen with "Encrypting" and a button saying "Reset Phone". then an error pops up that says "com.android.phone has stopped" then it sits there forever.
Well, i did figure out that if you let the battery die down a warning message pops up like normal warning of low battery. it gives options to hit OK or Battery Use. if i hit battery use it takes me into the settings menu. i can change anything from there. i tried a factory reset from there and nothing. i tried hard reset [buttons] and nothing. i tried flashing the 10B_00.kdz using AIO Toolkit and it fails saying my phone isn't connected. so oi go back into settings and enable debug etc etc, reboot and then try....same failure. doesnt recognize. i uninstalled and reinstalled pc suite, LGUnited mobile drivers......nothing nothing nothing. i have seen others with same issue and they end up recovering....but not me. am i supposed to flash 10B kdz? that's what my settings say i have. LGMSP76910b or something like that. all firmware sites the p769 model is TMOBILE....can i try flashing a tmobile kdz for my phone and it NOT mess up my metro service? i have tried the update tool....nothing.
My wife has been threatening to kill me so please help. i can only say "Woman! get your ass back in the kitchen and make me a sammich!" a few more times before she realizes all she has to do is whop me over the head with a pan....or broom.....or my broken LG Optimus.....help.

You performed the online restore method.
In order to get the offline flash to work, you need to use the unofficial fastboot and restore an ice cream (p769) x-loader & u-boot. Then perform the offline flash.
There is a problem with jellybeans x & u, and performing the s/w upgrade starting from a cold boot.
The only way for the offline flash flash to work and still be on a jellybean (x-loader & u-boot) the phone must be operating properly and turned on normally (plus it needs to be in the lg software mode).
Finding this information is not easy, because the main sticky threads are out dated.

Here's the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2221245&d=1377786261
Remove any changes to your windows host file (if you don't know what I'm talking about disregard)
Setup the program put your phone in s/w mode (hold vol + then enter the USB cable into your computer). Enter the information and wait a really long time.
Please don't do anything else while performing the restore. Also make sure your computer doesn't go to sleep during the whole process.

So I'm having the same issues as OP and this is apparently the only thread on the internet where anyone is experiencing this issue. MetroPCS 769 running JB. The phone POSTs and gets to the metroPCS carrier screen but goes to a white screen that just says "encrypting" with a blank progress bar, and that one app crashing. Every other reboot I get the Android recovery screen with the robot and a progress bar, and it reboots back to the "Encryping" screen. I can't even force the phone into a recovery or factory reset mode.
When I run the LG software updater, it says the software on my phone is up to date. There's a menu item for "Download recovery" which detects my phone, and acts like it's downloading something but never finishes. Any idea on how to proceed from here?

I assumed it would but at this point it's been going for ~14 hours with the "Time Elapsed" stuck at 13 seconds.
Guess I'll just let it sit some more.
