But your phone is using JB or ICS? Because in offline flashing, the computer won´t detect the phone if JB (volUP+cable). In ONLINE flashing, don´t matters.
If your phone is in JB, the easiest way to flash is (assuming your phone is operational):
- power on the phone
- insert the cable
- in USB connection type, choose LG software
- start the flash software in PC
- the phone will automagically reboot in software download mode, and the computer will detect this manner.

Online flashing is a bit tricky, best try as a last resort. You are not given choice, it only restores your factory version, based on your IMEI, and downloads the entire KDZ over the internet. I already done that two times, but I dont't know if LG servers are blocking the KDZ download now (hear that). But it will recognize your phone, regardless of ICS or JB.
If your phone is JB and it's bootlooping, then OMAP4BOOT is the way to go.
Just install the drivers, fastboot and flash the ICS xloader and uboot. Then your phone will be recognized by VolUP + cable insert.

I fixed it using online flashing, it was waay easier then you've implied.
I used the online flashing upTestEX thing I found in an old folder by chance on my usb flashdrive
I had a choice on my kdz and my phone is fully functional again.
Thanks anyway
Do you have an idea of a good custom rom I should try, other than cm, what is a relaly stable one.

Glad to hear you solved your problem, obviously in a different (and better) way from the one I knew.:laugh:
About roms, I flashed many but always return to stock (can't live without the FM radio), maybe one stock based might be a good choice.

Hi, because with last update increased count of people with bricket phone, I just tryed search for way how to repair this phone. It seems, that last possible way how to save your phone is emergency mode.
I would like to notify you, that I didn't tested it (I'm had not luck enough to brick my phone yet ). I just searched and tried write this for help to others.
So, let's go on.
1) If it's not possible connect to phone via ADB (in Adroid SDK/tools run "adb shell") at all you will try next steps. If it will work, you can use another, verified tools like custom recovery or KDZ_FW_UPD (search on forum for more) [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P500, )
2) If you fail in previous step, you can try enter into emergency mode manually and try to flash ROM with KDZ_FW_UPD:
Download KDZ updater and uncompress it
http://www.4shared.com/file/UleS4dP3/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html
Install msxml.msi from the uncompressed directory
Charge your battery to almost full state (I'm not sure, but it can be reason if phone doesn't start)
Turn phone off somehow (remove battery etc.)
Install drivers properly
Get rid of all usb drivers like Nokia, microsoft visual ++ run time environments
Install the LG drivers by selecting the update manager from the lg site
Disable LGE Virtual Modem. In your Windows operating system, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and click Disable.
Press and keep pressed "Volume up"+"Return" and connect USB cable to phone
Yellow screen with text emergency mode should appeared
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe (Has administrator).
Select Type : 3GQCT (I have one report that CDMA mod works too)
Select PhoneMode : DIAG (in case of fail try EMERGENCY, and as last chance use CS_EMERGENCY)
I Recommend do not switch phone off. There was some people, which done it and after they were not be able to turn it on again. If flashing failed, just select some another mode and try it again, again, try shake/connect disconnect, again, again....
In KDZ file : Choose the ROM file you downloaded in the first step
Press Launch software update
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Make sure that all update was done successfully. Phone should restart itself automatically
Disconnect the USB cable from the phone
Press the three button combo for HW reset of device i.e volume up + home + power button
List to do based on Zecanilis's [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P500
3) Still no success? Wait for more "What I can do" or just go to LG and let repair on them.

Please let me know if it works. I just searched for way and I haven't possibility to test this steps for now. I will do update if it will be necessary, same as I will try describe more about software which I founded.
Some experiences from thread(s):
AVanover5: ...It works if you set the mode to CDMA and DIAG. Just to let people know. Not sure if it'd work without the recovery screen or not. I never tried it ironically, haha. Thank you guys.
geejay2: ...Bricking seems to be easily achieved by forgetting to disable the LG Modem driver. Apparently the modem driver interferes during flashing. Also I noted that kdz is not stable under Win2k, I switched to WinXP to flash successfully. I saw several aborted flashing attempts in WinXP with modem driver enabled.
domenic_s:KDZ_FW_UPD doesn't work (Application cannot start) -.- Using Windows 7 64bit version. //edit: allright tried another pc (win xp 32bit) and yeah - it worked... I'm so happy.

About shaking (sorry, but I still can't believe... )
salte_eskil:wow! shaking the phone really worked! seems kind of stupid but thanks to you all at the xda forum for tips and tricks
4wd vege: Now unbricked. Strangely kdz updater only saw my phone after shaking!!!
me2kimi:It sound crazy to shake the phone while at emergency mode. I's crazy but it magic. ...So what I do is connect to usb, Launch software update at kdz while shaking the phone. Then after that kdz is working like normal.

I tried with all possible combination.. with and without battery.. vol- home, vol + return, power vol+ home.. end more.. but phone don't turn on...
In meantimes the phone is in the service LG.. hope...
Exscuse me for my English
Did you had phone off before trying this? And also battery should be charged. I just added this things...
If event that it not show you emergency mode, LG service and warranty is probably the only way how to proceed. Sorry. But I will be searching if another way will exist...
Good work .. I hope that you will find a way to solve ... especially for other users .. good luck
Good work @The_ERROR.
It should work. I think you should also add that the phone mode should be set to Emergency (and not DIAG as mentioned) in the kdz updater.
Moved to development and stickied it for a while!
Thank you!
Cheers

Good to know - do you know differences between CS_EMERGENCY and EMERGENCY?
Recovery Phone?!
Hello,
Had anyone tried "Recovery Phone" from the LGMobile Update app? It's under the "Customer Support" menu. Enter IMEI or S/N and see if it can bring it up to life.
Cheers.
Yes.. I tried.. but nothing.. the LG MOBILE UPDATE crashed because don't wiew the phone in Usb...

Not really. Gathered some info though. We use emergency mode when the phone boots into only emergency mode else we try CS emergency as last option.
In any case this method will work only if the kdz updater recognises the phone.

I was able to do the KDZ, actually thats the only way possible. Please add this to the list:
1. Get rid of all usb drivers like Nokia, microsoft visual ++ run time environments.
2. Install the LG drivers by selecting the update manager from the lg site.
3. Disable the modem driver.
4. Once done, reboot the handset and when it has come to emergency mode connect it via USB.
5. Its going to detect it as usb drive. Launch KDZ. No need to go into Emergency mode.
6. shake the handset - IT DID WORKED FOR ME.
My suggestion don't give up. It took me around 14 hours to bring the handset back to original firmware and here I am today trying to boot the rom once again.
7. UPDATE AND ENJOY.

Thanks, I will do!! Only about 4 and five.
First reboot the handset and when it has come to emergency mode connect it via USB
and then
It's going to detect it as usb drive. Launch KDZ. No need to go into Emergency mode.
So, whats about if phone didn't go into emrgency itself (for example stuck on Android logo)?

I am talking about phone getting into Emergency mode, KDZ doesn't need to switch to CS_EMERGENCY or EMERGENCY Switch off the phone first, then you are either connect it to USB cable or you can remove it from the USB cable. Key combination to bring the phone only in emergency mode are:
1. Connected to USB cable, only thing visible is the LG logo, this is because its getting charged. Press VOL UP + BACK BUTTON
2. Not connected to USB cable and is not charging and so switched off: Press VOL UP + BACK BUTTON + POWER BUTTON
In both the cases phone will switch to a yellow screen showing: "Emergency mode!!" and will remain like that.
It's only in Emergency mode that the handset will be detected like a USB drive and can be KDZed.
I seriously doubt the "Shake your phone part". It just sounds so ...
Peace

OK, I edited it. But I kept possibilities of EMERGENCY and CS_EMERGENCY modes if standard way failed. About switch into emergency, I think that it does not matter which way for emergency is used.

Hi,
So I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S II, and I've been trying a few different ROM's found on this site. The last thing I did was actually revert back to a stock Samsung Kernel and firmware. This worked fine, but it unrooted my device, which I knew would happen, but now I'm not able to root it again because when I put the device into download mode, ODIN, or better yet, my computer won't detect the device.
I have all the drivers installed, and I also deleted them all, and Kies, and started from scratch again after searching XDA for similar issues.
I don't believe this to be a driver issue, since I was able to root my device, and swap roms before I went back to the official kernel and firmware. I'm with Bell in Canada, so the versions I went back to were not the official Bell versions, since Samsung has not made them available.
I have a Mac, but I've been using Windows 7 and Odin under VMWare. I can connect my device to either OSX, or Windows 7 when the device is not in download mode, and everything works fine, and Odin detects the device (Not that that does any good of course)
When I connect the device under download mode, the Mac detects the device and asks me if I want to connect it to my Mac, or to Windows (As it should) but no matter which one I select, neither OS acknowledges the device after that point, where as when I'm not in Download mode, both OS's detect the device fine.
After all my troubleshooting with my computer based off of what I found online here, The only conclusion I have left is that there is something missing on the device that allows it to be found under download mode, but that aspect of all this is beyond my current skill level.
Anyone have any ideas?
Are you pressing the Volume Up button to continue in Download mode? Besides, Virtual machine isn't recommended I think.
Yes, Once the Custom ROM warning comes up, I press the Volume up button to continue.
That wasn't even necessary on the Stock Bell ROM. The warning didn't come up at all.
VM has been working fine up until now, so I don't think that's the problem, but I have been thinking of trying this on my old laptop that runs on windows if nothing else pans out.

Have you found anyway to Make Odin recognize to phone in download mode?? Im still struggling with that. my phone is on stock kernel and not rooted yet, ODIN finds it fine when the phone is on and USB Debugging is on, but once I put the phone on download mode it wont recognize it, I dont know why..
Could it be because of the ''SAMSUNG Mobile MTP Device'' driver failed to install correctly??
all other drivers are installed correctly.. I have tried to get the driver mentioned above to install correctly but it fails every time, with USB debugging on and off, i have wiped the phone and installed Kies and the drivers several times, Im clueless right.. anyone have any idea please help??
I myself am also suffering from this problem. However, USB seems to function fine while the phone is booted up or in recovery (For ADB). I'm wondering if necessary files may have become corrupted or deleted in reference to USB drivers (phone side mind you) that are used in download mode.
edit: It's also recognized in recovery mode.
Even if it can't be fixed I'd still like to understand why.
-Simply D
was looking for help on this and saw this thread, same problem too..
Connects to Odin and Kies fine when switched on "normally", can use USB mass storage mode Etc.
comes up with a USB device has malfunctioned message on PC when I connect USB cable when switched on and in download mode
EDIT:- just to add, if I try upgrading firmware via Kies it gets to the point where it switches the phone to download mode to upgrade it and has the same issue even with an official upgrade
Figuring download mode is outside the normal boot procedure, I hoped on an off chance that pulling my battery and sim for a few minutes would reset it. It did indeed. Download mode is now functional again, just to be certain I tested it right before pulling the battery to make sure it was still broken. And multiple flashes and reboots afterwards seem to confirm that it has returned to normal.
Anyone else who solves it with this method, please report back.

I have an LG E435g. I tried to flash another version of stock firmware (V20a_00) using KDZ updater tool. It did flash, but my phone is f***d. The screen is totally black (no logo,etc.). My PC recognizes that it is connected, but I cannot load MTP driver for file transfers. It was in debug mode during flash, but isn't now because I can't use adb. Have tried everything in forums, nothing changes. I will pay ANYONE to fix as I am at wits end and know just enough to screw s**t up. Totally unable to get into download mode, emergency mode,etc. Phone is not rooted and the bootloader is locked.
No problem

#4) Choose the .kdz file to flash. Download link is under the "Downloads"
#5) Click "Launch software update" and wait. Phone must be connected in download mode(!). KDZ installer might get stuck but DO NOT disconnect it. (Unless it stays that way for a hour as a example)
NOTE: .kdz is a .kdz, you cannot extract it. If you get a .zip from the LG .kdz site you did something wrong.

You don't know what you are saying. You can HARDBRICK ANY modern device. By definition hardbrick means phone won't turn on won't respond and in some cases recognized as usb when connected to pc as usb bulk or qcom usb. etc. You damage the second bootloader and tell me what happens. You will see what you get.

first this is offtopic. Second, u are wrong ! Unless the phone is pshisicaly damaged (misfuctioning components or damaged), u cant hardbrick the phone with uploading different soft. on it (unless u change voltages and overclok, if that is possible on the device). Ofecourse they are exceptions, but all major modern manufactors, make hardbrick proof devices. Also, how exactly would u modify the emergency mode, and more important even if you could, why wold u do it !?
More on to the topic, none of the operations of rooting, bootloader installing, kdz install or CMx install , gets near the emergency mode. It remains intact.
Just retry all normal steps for installing kdz or recovery again, check the cables, all drivers on pc, and is best to have a charged phone battery.

No, no luck yet. Seems to be impossible.
I connect to this post cuz my d605 is also facing a similiar issue, no system, no recovery, no adb, download mode worked only twice, for the rest, only emergency mode works, phone cannot even charge.
Phone is recognized from pc, I uninstalled modem drivers but stays in Emergency only few seconds then it shuts down (not sure if its the battery, since it doesn't charge as well). It shuts down actually at the moment that LG mobile support tool seems to recognize it.
It worked couple of times, phone was keeping staying in emergency mode for the beginning of the procedure but at the moment it need to put the kdz into the phone, the phone die.
The two times download mode worked, same, just shutting down immediately. This with LG support tool or LG flashtool2014.
KDZ_FW_UPD worked the first time after install and then doesn't run anymore, on two different Win10 machines.
I have no idea how to come out of this nightmare, just want to flash it :/

well, sorry for not replying earlier. My phone was on guarantee for about 2 months after I wrote the post. I just send it to LG Hellas via the e-shop I bought it from and in about 2-3 weeks, I had my D605 back like it was brand new. I searched a lot about my D605 hard bricked and I found that it is not fixable. My phone could not go into download mode though, as yours. Hope I helped you even a lil bit. Sorry for my bad English.
So,
I'm trying to flash my Z5C with latest LP but when I try to enter Flash Mode to do it the phone enters Safe Mode. Now some people say it might be driver related and yes, one of the Z5C drivers I tried installing says this:
Sony Net (03/19/2015 6.0.6000.16511) Not needed (No device for update present)
Now even if it is a driver issue, shouldn't I be able to enter flash mode by simply pressing Vol Down + Power Button? I still enter Safe Mode. Can I not enter Flash Mode any other way than the Vol Down + USB?
I bought this phone a week or so ago and have not fiddled with anything apart from turning USB Debugging and Unknown Sources on. Other than that I have not done anything, not even OTA as it instantly goes to MM. This phone is stock firmware from factory.
Now when I tried connecting to Flashtools by entering Safe Mode (which I thought was flash mode but with a diff name) Flashtools either says Debugging is off or it goes as far as saying "Root Access Denied" (Note: it's not an error, just another message) and stops. The popup which says to plug in the phone doesn't dissapear either. So that's where I'm stuck and it's due to me not being able to enter Flash Mode on the phone.
So question is, what am I doing wrong?
PS. I will try this all over again on my W7 desktop as I've only tried with my W10 laptop and I know there are different driver settings. Yes I did enable "No Driver Signature"-mode on W10 prior to installing them but nothing changes.
Thankful for any help as I don't want stock, cause it's not very optimized and also phone can get a bit hot whereas they fix a lot of issues with these updates.
[EDIT]
Btw, can't find Sony PC Companion on the official site. Instead it's replaced by Xperia Companion. Inferior in tools but I assume they have the same drivers for phones included?

USB is the only way. I had to use 4 different PCs before finding one flash tool liked BTW. And you are kind of wrong about they fix issues with these updates. They really just create more. I'm on.200 LP and probably never going MM until aosp can deliver because MM is so messed up.
Did you get this sorted?
I can't boot into flash mode either, and I am stuck on a boot loop. Phone trying to setup and processes stopping.

Thank you for the suggestion to try different PCs. I only have the one at home but I tried a different USB port and Flashtool is working now. Bizarre.
