I rooted my LG L86c Optimus Showtime. I uninstalled some random app that came with it and I could uninstall with a special app like Twitter and Google Play Movies. Now I get "Secure Booting Unsuccessful Cause: errorlogo" I found that Google Play Movies has some DRM stuff in it that the phone checks for when it boots, and if it is not there, it fails the security test, and does not boot. I need help trying to get my phone in working order. Please ANYONE help me through this step by step. Just bought this phone and now it's a brick.
Edit: I was able to get it to the "Download is in progress. Do not disconnect cable." screen if that helps. I also downloaded the original .cab file for my phone with the app on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073827 I just don't know what to do with it all.
Please someone help. I spent the only money I had on this phone and now it's a paper weight. I use this for my job

If your rooted you could always try and push the apk you removed back with adb.

Could you please tell me how to get your LG Optimus Showtime L86C into the downloading mode. I have searched everywhere and can't get the information that I need. I have the same problem you do. Have you gotten your issues solved yet?
Hate to deviate, but I've been trying to find the drivers so that I can root my showtime but can't find them. Do you have a link?

that wouldn't work.
when the phone is bricked like that, there's only two things you can do
go into emergency download mode, which not even LGs software repair tool can receognize
or make it reset itself to factory defaults, which also doesn't work because it doesn't put apps that aren't meant to be deleted back.
i know, i did this to my phone on accident and i had to buy a entirely new phone, because apparently this phone only exists on two message boards with very, very little posts or information.
I too have the exact same thing happening to me.
I have tried everything. In fact, I am willing to ship this phone to anyone out there to see if they can fix it.
Has anyone had any luck finding a fix to this yet?:crying::crying::crying:
Did you try hard reset? Usually in Lg Phones is hold power button + home button + volume up until the screen goes black and then release the power button. Keep holding the volume and home until you are in recovery.
Well, the thing about this phone is from what I have found is there are only 2 different screens that you can enter.
One screen is by pressing Power-Vol Down-Home and hold them down until a screen appears that says:
"Permanently Erase User Data & Reset Settings Press Power key to confirm, and any other key to cancel"
The other screen is by connecting the phone to the computer with a USB cable while holding down both Volume Up and Volume Down.
I have not been able to get any other screens to appear by any other means.
If I do the first above screen and let it go, the Android guy appears and it looks to begin to work, but when it goes away, the phone reboots and goes back to giving the error screen "Secure Booting Unsuccessful Cause: ErrorLogo".
Do you have any other suggestions?

Well from what i know ( i am not an expert and far from one ) is that the security check on boot fails because it can't find all the original files you had in the ROM. Did you try to reset setting on the Power-Vol down-Home? This will destroy all your data and it can't be recovered. If this does not work i think the only way is to go in the emergenc mode and flash stock rom ( the one with usb cable). I will look into this a little more but i don't have the phone. Anyway if you can't boot you lost phone data. Try that reset and tell me what happens.
Thank you for your quick responses.
When I do the Power-Vol down-Home, this is what happens:
the Android guy appears and it looks to begin to work, but when it goes away, the phone reboots and goes back to giving the error screen "Secure Booting Unsuccessful Cause: ErrorLogo"
I really appreciate everything you are trying to do to help me!!
I have used the Original LG Firmware tool located here "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073827" which is the only place that I can find the ROM for this phone anywhere on the internet, but for whatever reason, I cannot flash the phone.
I am really tired of trying. I'm so tired of messing with this phone. I'm almost ready to throw it in the trash.

You have a .cab file from that?
Yes, that is correct. It is named "L86CV10a_12.S0a_12.P59289.cab"
That is the only place that I have found on the entire www that I have been able to locate a firmware file for this phone.

Ah ok. You need to do the following conver the .cab into .kdz. Place your phone in download/emergy mode ( the one you put usb in ). Download lg drivers for your device. Then open Kdz flasher CDMA mode and emergency. Flash the image you converted. It will work i hope.
Here is the only place i found a converter. http://unleashedprepaids.com/printthread.php?tid=7736. Just do what i said up.
I don't really know if it will work for a different phone model. I am out of ideas if this doesn't work sorry. All you have to do is to find a way to flash that .cab from emergency mode or convert it to .kdz then kdz flash using emerngecy. Best of luck. Have a nice evening!
Yep, I had done this before, but I just did it again. It did this time what it did before.
This is the error message that I get every time that it tries flashing the phone.

Stuck at 'Download in progress. Do not disconnect cable.'
Well, I tried to root my LG Optimus Showtime using the information I found here but, unfortunately, once it was rooted, it rebooted about 5 minutes later on it's own and is now stuck in 'Download is in progress. Do not disconnect cable.' at boot. I can't get it to be recognized when I connect it to the PC (it's not currently plugged into anything, though it says don't disconnect the cable). I have tried every key combo and trick I can find.
Please, for the love of all things Andriod, PLEASE someone help me figure this out. I don't have another cell and can't afford to buy a replacement anytime soon.
The root seemed to go smoothly. Super-user, Poot, reboot, no problem and then, 5 minutes later, it rebooted itself and has been stuck ever since.
Please tell me someone has SOME idea what I can do?
I have tried about a dozen times to flash with the kernel tool I got from on here but as far as I can tell, the PC doesn't actually 'see' the phone anymore when I plug in the USB cable and connect it to the PC. The LG mobile software update tool doesn't recognize/read it's state, nor does the LG Flash tool I got from here. Neither one 'recognizes' the phone and therefore, it won't 'take' a flash.
I am open to trying anything to fix it, even sending it so someone if they think they can get it back to root or stock; I don't care which as long as it isn't a paperweight!
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance!

The only thing you can do that I was able to do is to replace the mainboard. It takes about 10 minutes tops. go to phonepartsusa dot com and search for parts to the LG Venice, LG US730. The main board is less then $10. Then you have to deal with a new ESN. I was able to get a Showtime ie straight talk, mainboard for $8, I installed it and tried to activate it with the new ESN and it worked. Might be worth the $10 bucks.

I bought a LG MyTouch 4G Slide (myTouch Q)
I rooted it, upgraded the software, everything was great.
I was flashing a theme through zip and suddenly, it cut off and now my phone is unresponsive.
The LG splash screen shows twice, followed by displaying the following message:
E:Can't find misc
E:Can't find misc
Finding Update Packages..
E:unknown volume for path [SDCAR
D:/download/(name of the zip file)]
E:Can't mount SDCARD:/(File location)
Installation Aborted.
Factory Reset Failed
Restart Factory Reset
Then the cycle repeats its self.
I cannot access bootloader (power+volume down) no matter how many times I try, it continues to do the same process.
I have searched everywhere and cannot find the answer to this problem, does anyone know how I can make my phone work again?
how'd you upgrade the software? try loading a stock rom either through your computer or sd card, I'm not familiar with the exact process for a slide, but that's what I'd try.

I did it the old-fashioned way. Went into settings and searched for updates, then T-Mobile updated me OTA.
The phone worked perfect prior to the theme.
Every file I've put on the sdcard seems to not have any effect on this problem.
Do you know where I can find a stock ROM for LG M4GS? All the one's I've seen around are for HTC.
I downloaded ODIN but it only tells me to connect the phone when it's plugged in via USB.
I'll donate to whoever helps me, really need to fix this issue.
how'd you try to flash the theme? through a custom recovery?
and why did it stop?
did you give hard factory reset a try? (dunno what exactly it resets but it might help, and it might actually be exactly what your phone is trying to do according to the screen output):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20310765&postcount=8
if that does not work, try to at least get some more logcat:
install the android sdk, plug your powered-off-phone into usb, run:
adb logcat
it should start the service and be:
Code:
- waiting for device -
then power the phone and post the output...
good luck

Attached is a screenshot of the error I receive everytime.
The phone does not stay powered off when USB connected, keeps trying to boot.
After two splash screens, the error screen shows.
I used SDK to obtain the screenshot, but none of the other tools seem to work.
Below I have attached the screenshot.
so did you try the hard reset?
if you did, can you get into recovery mode (supposed to be A [QWERTY] + F [QWERTY] + Vol Down + Pwr) or s/w upgrade mode? (E [QWERTY] + Vol Up + Pwr)
if you can get into either one you're probably ok.
through recovery you can flash whatever, and through s/w upgrade you can use a tool called LG Mobile Update Tool (you wrote about odin, which is a samsung tool for samsung phones. this is apparently the lg equivalent):
download the original 2.3.6 firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1825818
and do what they say here (its for the mytouch 4g but i guess the process is the same. you might wanna read up on this a bitbefore you do it):

I looked every where for this and hope it does not violate any rules - but wanted to repost so that it might help someone else. Again if it is a violation then I apologize but was just before returning to LG for repair.
If you have a tmobile prepaid LG c800 ( may work with contract phone not Sure) this should un brick your phone. I am not the author and take no credit it came from here :

browse for KDZ file (V10D_00(C800DG).kdz)
click lunch software update and you should be in S/W Upgrade mode wait for program to finish if it errors leave phone in update mode and click lunch software update again.
One note make sure to download the correct version, there seems to be several the "LGMobile Support Tool"( file name "B2CAppSetup.exe") one will take you to the LG site and do an automatic update and tell you that your phone is not supported and to contact LG and the - "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" it will be the one with the "browse for file" on the opening screen, also not sure but on another web site it said to use windows enabler file V 1.1 it will run on the task bar at the bottom as an Icon of the seperate windows tiled, click on this so that it says"on" not postive it is necessary but this how I ran the KDZ file. There is a V10V kdz file but it would not work on mine.
Update: after flashing with kdz - V10D_00 (2.3.4) Reflashed/updated with kdz V10v (2.3.6) would not upgrade OTA or at the lg site.
i finally figured out how to get CWM installed and working, after a couple of months of fighting with it, off and on. so, i guessed that meant i have my bootloader unlocked - "wrong!".
i deleted some thing that wasn't supposed to be deleted, then the damned cell network and lan network stopped working (keeps saying com.android.phone has stopped). so i was going to put cyanogenmod on it, because i thought that i could, and just be done with the whole "missing apps" crap. it turns out "just because you CAN put CM on it doesn't mean you CAN put CM on it". i bricked it. i have NO options to "load" or "flash" or "boot" any thing when the phone is booting up. i would love some clarification as to what i CAN do from here.
i would rather install CM and be done with all of this, but i'll take any advice that gets rid of the problem. the biggest problem is understanding how to put CM on your phone, or to do any thing at all like that, when you cant get into any kind of recovery / boot menu, even though you ARE rooted... i don't care if i have to install cyanogenmod or some one else's CWM backup, i just don't know HOW to do it - especially with no windows (only linux). it's a rooted p769v20d (originally p769v10g).

fwiw, regarding the mysterious deleted app:
i lose my internet signal as soon as it says "com.android.phone has stopped", then i get it back again right before it says that message again - it ALSO shows a cell-phone signal right before that message. this repeats over and over and over every few seconds - aggravating as hell...

Nice thread title. That is how I am feeling right now with this phone. I feel like calling tech care and yell at them for a bit to vent. Anyway, why not install fastboot for Linux and flash the ics u and x? I uploaded my u and x folder in the Unlock Bootloader for Noobs thread. Then, flash the 20h.....oh, dang.... sorry. Forgot.... no Windows. Maybe do the built-in restore by holding the volume down, home and power keys?

thanks, but i think i finally got it working. i never knew, after all this time, that after you do the l9recoveryinstaller, at the reboot, there are no cues to tell when when to hit some buttons, and it's not clear what buttons to hit. here's what i did, and, so far, its progress:
1: be rooted
2: install busy box, completely
3: install l9recoveryinstaller
4: reboot
5: after you see the LG logo, hold vol-down until you see the flashing lights (i thought you see the flashing lights and THEN you hit vol-down, but i was wrong).
still fighting to get a rooted rom installed ...
if i choose "install zip from external sdcard" is says:
"finding update ... opening update ... installing update ...installation aborted".
if i choose "restore" instead of "install" it will not let me select any thing, it just keeps saying file not found, when i try to select any further options, whether "restore" or "restore from external sdcard" or "advanced restore from external sdcard". and i already checked to make sure the sdcard was mounted...

I think your phone bootloader is locked, you cannot flash any custom rom zip file. It will soft brick your phone.
Please restore P769 CWM back from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136204. Download backup file and unbzip it. Put extract files in your sdcard /clockworkmod/backup/2013-08-30.12.00.00 folder. Extract file should contain several .img, .tar, .a, .log and .md5

i don't have a windows computer. looks like i'm out a 350$ phone. lesson learned. never will cease to be amazed that so many mobile hackers are using windows... seems like they would be linux users too... that would be awesome, because then there are likely to be linux tools to do this with... and i don't have a windows img to load into a virtual machine... lucky lucky lucky...

Well correct me if I am wrong, but I guess you "only" deleted some system files, right? Do you remember which ones were the ones? Or at least the folder they were in? Then you only need to extract that stuff from a kdz/ the bin file and push them on your phone using adb or maybe even the dd command.
Maybe if someone is kind enough, he ll probably provide you with the files you need. And cmiiw, but I guess you deleted stuff from /system/app...

Lol, you are a Linux user, you should know how to get your hands on a windows.iso
However, i would recommend using a portable windows xp (bootable usb)
VR is not the best option IMO
You will need this program http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
&
Sorry I can't provide a link to the iso but do a google search for
portable windows xp bootable usb Osheraj

okay, what do i need to download to load onto the phone? kdz images, right? i'll check and see if i can find a kdz in the forum, and borrow a windows computer. i think i got it - this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2107971

It's depend on what method you use. You can flash kdz using offline method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
or use LG mobile support tools from LG website. If you choose this you don't need to download any kdz. It'll download kdz automatically from LG server then flash it on your phone. It take about an hour or two.

thats awesome - i wonder if i can get by with using that on wine on linux, instead of borrowing a windows computer... i'm gonna try it...
well, the verdict is in, on this one: i'm screwed. i've tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried, and i can NOT flash this damned phone. it's BRICKED.
i borrowed / hijacked my brother's computer (windows7), all day. i tried a few different things - i even tried the same way i flashed it to update it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356536 ), which was worthless to unbrick it.
the problem in every case was that every time the damned flasher got so far along it would "lose the connection to the phone". drivers installed, etc, etc, no difference. i suspect its because i couldnt connect it in all the various modes (mtp ptp etc), since the ONLY way it would connect is in "software upgrade mode".
i had to buy another phone, won't have it till tuesday. lesson learned: NEVER buy a phone that didn't come from samsung... you just can't do what you want with them, without a lot of time, patience, experience, and a windows computer.
thanks for all the help.

Did you try to recover your phone with LG mobile support tool. It can reinstall rom in almost any soft-brick case. Please try it if you haven't try it yet. Many people restore their phone by that software. The steps are
- Download LG mobile support tool from LG web site
- Boot you phone to S/W update mode
- Run Tool and select recover phone
- Wait about 1-2 hours to download and flash
If it's not hardware problem, this should solve your problem

i never found that on their website, and i looked quite a few times. however, i noticed when i used the b2clientsetup.exe that if i run it without running the shttp server first, that it downloads a support tool from the net, which does not work - keeps saying phone lost connection. not sure if its the same tool.

Download from http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
You must remove following lines from hosts file
127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com

In my country (RO) there are some GSM Repair Centers. You should not give up and you should go to them. Par example, I flashed an HTC Mozart when the battery was dead and I bricked it (idiot, I know). I went to a shop like the ones mentioned above and I think he said that he has to flash the phone using a JTAG or something like that (I know that he has to open the phone to reach it's motherboard, solder some **** out there and... flash I guess). The whole thing was about ~20E. Anyway, keep digging, maybe you'll eventually find something that works for you. If not, go to someone who can "force flash" it and maybe you can save the device.
Long story short....in my efforts to flash the 10B TOT file, the flash tool got to 94% and started the phone reboot step, but the phone never rebooted thus the flash was a failure. When I tried to re-do the steps to flash the 10B TOT, I found out that I was no longer able to get into download mode. In my computer's device settings, when the phone is connected with a USB it now shows up as Qualcomm HS-USBQloader 9008. I looked up the threads about this problem and started the process of getting this fixed using the BoardDiag tool, but that process fails at the part where I attempt to run the AP and EMMC tests (gives me a message saying "Device was not found in DLOAD trying to install flasher). I have not found any practical fix for this error.
Am I completely screwed now, or is there a step somewhere I'm missing? I've been at this for 5 hours.

Just to make sure I was doing everything right, I installed the Qualcomm drivers with the test mode on for driver signing. My phone, when plugged into the computer, still shows up as Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. So it's my understanding that I don't need to do the steps which detail how I would need to break into my phone and use wires and solder. Based on everything I've read, I should be able to use the BoardDiag tool, but it keeps telling me in one fashion or another that it can't connect to the phone. Sometimes it will tell me "Check PMIC first and if still boot problem, replace AP", other times it will give me the same message I was getting originally saying "Device was not found in DLOAD trying to flash programmer".

It won't let me boot into download mode.
I've attached a screenshot of what my BoardDiag screen looks like. I extracted the TOT files that the tool created to my bare C: drive because any time I tried to change the directory for the location of those files it would cause the program to crash.

Ok so when you plug in your phone to the computer does it say installing the qualcomm driver or does it just show up as the qualcomm in device manager. I had that when I bricked my phone and had to redo the wire trick. Once I did it the installing qualcomm drivers notice came up and I was able to run the boarddiag with not problem. If all else fails give the wire trick a try. Here's another similar guide that will help too. I turned off driver signing on computer bootup just for reference. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359

The first time I plugged it in after installing the Qualcomm drivers the window popped up to show that the device drivers were being installed and it completed successfully.
I'm trying to reach out to tungkick since I've seen in other threads that he has helped people who have run into the same issues I'm having. I'm hoping he can fix it without me having to crack open my phone.

Also, were you already rooted and wanted to go back to stock or what version of software were you downgrading from ( ex. 46A,47A what).

So the long story is that I was originally running 47A stock with root and TWRP recovery. I was having TERRIBLE battery life and it got to the point where I couldn't take it any more so I decided to flash a CM13 nightly. I was going to test the waters to see if I could use a systemless SuperSU version with CM13 so when I flashed CM13 I also flashed SuperSU 2.68 at the same time. It turns out that's a big no-no. So when I tried to reboot, I got the error message that the secure boot failed, or something to that effect. So after looking at posts on XDA I intended on doing the "revert to 10B from 47A" method with a TOT file and the flash tool. Everything with that was working great...it got to 94% complete and got the point in the process where the phone reboots, but when the phone left download mode it never came back and the flash tool never made a re-connection with the phone to complete the end of the process. From that point on, I could not even load into download mode, thus here I am.

Ok so I used the androidbrick tool in that link you sent me and the process seems to have gone through correctly. After re-installing my battery the phone booted to the LG screen, then showed the little android guy with a progress bar, but that screen didn''t last long before the phone rebooted again and this time after the LG screen I got a screen that said "miniOS" and following that came a blue screen with the words "Factory Reset Status" and a big red number 2. So that's where I'm at now and I'm going to look up info on that to see what I do next. If you have any experience with this step please let me know.

Ok, this is where I was earlier today and when it got to about 94% complete and commanded the phone to reboot, the phone never came back to a state that allowed the flash tool to complete. I've seen some sites talk about having to hold the up volume button at a certain juncture around the time that it failed for me last time. Is there some trick to this?

It did it again! Phone got to 100% on the flash and the tool got to the restart command, but the phone never came back on after leaving the download mode from the reboot command. I even was holding the volume up like another website said when the reboot occurred. I also changed the setting from "Upload DL" to "Board DL" as suggested by others in various threads. The error I'm getting after the tool says it failed is "USB port open FAIL!"

@roirraW "edor" ehT Good idea I may just do that myself.
Hello Everyone,
I have a questions and hopefully some one can help me out here. My son has bricked my phone and I believe it is a soft brick... could be wrong. However, I need to find away too unbrick it.
I can get into hard reset with out issues. however with everything I do, I can't get into recovery what's so ever. The phone just hangs at the loading screen. I have talked to my son in order to find out what he did and this is exactly what he told me
He installed king root and attempted to replace-kinguser-with-supersu. However when he installed the application, it asked to reboot the phone. Well he rebooted the phone and now it is stuck at the loading screen and wont go any further than that. He also told me that he did not remove kingroot prior too the reboot. Please help! as I need my phone for work.
I am out of options on what too do. I would post the guide he used but I am limited due too the spamming regulations of the board.
Any one have an idea on how to unsoft brick this phone? I am all out of options as the only two options I have are hard boot and download mode.

According to the good people here on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/qa-metro-pcs-lg-k7-lgms330-t3331678 there is only a paid solution at the moment.
http://lg-firmware-rom.com/download...330-dll-for-lg-up-unbrick-lg-k330-with-lg-up/
if it is a lg k7 k330 (tmo) i followed this guide http://www.repairshopusa.com/phone/lg-k7-k330-unbrick-method/
Thank you for the information. However the lgup application does not recognize my phone. Indicates that the model is "Unknown"
Guess i am out of luck lol
Not uncommon. Sometimes you need to unplug and replug the device back in or close and reopen the program.
Thank you for the information. Does the USB debugging option need to be enabled because if it does, I don't think it is as the my computer does not recognize my device at all. Under computer, it shows as k7. However when I got into the device manager it indicated "LGE Android MTP device".
No. USB Debugging only works while booted into the system or recovery. You must be in Download Mode for the LG Up tool.
At this time, I am really frustrated as nothing is currently working at this time. Possibly because the phone just went under a hard reset. I have changed the port too 41 and ran the flash tool and that was not able too pick up my phone either. Also, I can't seem to get the lgup to work correctly as it's still not working correctly.
I have uninstalled the applications belonging too lg, rebooted and then reinstalled them and I still get the same thing. I have attached screen shots below. lgup does indicate the firmware I need, however I can't get too it lol

If I remember right, you have to make it search for *.kdz otherwise it's looking for .tot files, which is why it's probably not seeing the firmware you need.

Yes you are correct. However the file that I have downloaded from the link below doesn't actually provide you with a kdz file. The file provided you the files that have been extracted from the kdz file, which are the (LGK330.dz) file
Ah, weird. Never worked on an LG that didn't use .tot, .kdz, or .bin files. I guess just search for *.dz and it should load according to the link the other guy put up.

Steps:
1. Turn Off Any Virus Protection Software
2. Download MP26010j_00_0316.kdz To Flash Your Phone Back To Stock
3. Install LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe
4. Next Install LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi
5. Make Sure That You Have Your Phone Connected (Take Battery Out Then Put It Back In Hold Volume Up And Connect With Micro USB) So LGUP Can Be Able To Recognize It
6. Then Double Click UPPERCUT.exe to open up LGUP Now But Only Thing Is That Uppercut will try to verify just ignore and if it doesn't open up just open lgup from desktop and its going to view phone as unknown
7. Unplug Phone But Keep LG Download Mode On And Exit LGUP
8. Open LGUP First And Then Connect Phone Which Should Recognize Phone As MP260
9. Click Upgrade, Make Sure That Bin Is Checked And Select File MP26010j_00_0316.kdz To Flash And Click Start

If you lock the bootloader if you have custom recovery (twrp) and superuser you will not be able to boot

Looked and saw two links for the newest kdz. I'm in the USA so TMO =north america.
But I 'm curios what TMI stands for, no info on that page of region listings.

Not sure about TMI, use TMO North America
I figured I'd post this here to, because I am thinking about getting this phone. It's $99 at metro pcs right now, that's really hard to pass up.
In a twrp+root thread there are some that cannot get root, with the last LG firmware update, so I'm guessing this is a soft brick as apposed to a hard brick.
So, had a question.
If in the case of the like 10% of the people that do this root, the phone won't root or bricks, if I get this phone and and that happens, is it possible to flash the phone via the LG program, with a KDZ file and go back to stock like in this thread? If so I will probably buy this phone tomorrow (crosses fingers the kdz trick will work)
From looking at the videos, it looks as if the LG program is similar to the Samsung Odin program as far as flashing goes, am I correct in this?

I know this thread has not been active for a while. However I have a Metro LG K20 Plus phone and want to change the firmware to T-Mobile. I have not been successful doing this as I always get invalid firmware, because LG UP recognizes the phone as a metro phone. Is there a way to succeed in getting the T-Mobile firmware on the phone?
thanks in advance.

Did you find any answers to this? I have one that is bricked. It will not show up when connected to a computer at all

lg k20 plus soft bricked?
So I've searched high and low and have tried suggestion after suggestion with no avail. To start things off, I have a soft bricked LG k20 plus. Everything was working fine until the other day when I went to flash a kernel, and when the phone restarted, the screen was a dark grey/black color. I rooted the devices using massis method, removed SU and then rooted using Magisk. Like I said everything was working fine and for whatever reason I decided to try a different kernel. That's when it all went downhill. So now when I turn the phone on, the screen is still blank but it vibrates. When I've connected it to a computer, on my Mac it doesn't show up with ADB or FASTBOOT but in my device tree it comes up as LGE Android device. I borrowed my friends laptop since it runs windows, and my Mac is a dinosaur. ADB doesn't pick it up either, but in a USB hub it says the same thing, LGE Android device and lower down it comes up as TP-LINK. Now tryin to use LG Flash tools doesn't work, LGUP doesn't see my device, and when I tried to extract the KZD file, when I go to select it from the list there is no file to choose. Since I can't see anything on my screen, I can't tell if I'm in download mode, bootloader, etc, but in my device tree sometimes my phone will pop up an bootloader interface and I can use fastboot commands. When I was last able to see my screen, yes, USB debugging was on, I had a recovery, but since I can't see anything on my screen I can't seem to boot into recovery. If I could I would wipe cache and all. I think I may have read too many article and suggestions as to what to do because nothing seems to be working, and don't seem to find anything else related closely enough to my issue. Anyone have a clue as to where I should start? I'll have to give my friend back her laptop soon, and since my mac is so old, and the whole PC vs Mac feud, my computer won't be of much help. Any advice my hair strands would greatly appreciate before they rest are pulled out lol
