I have been pulling my hair out for 3 days trying to un-soft brick my phone. Tried everything and kept getting stuck. Your write up and links to the other posts made everything super easy. First try today and I'm back up and running thanks to you. 20 thumbs up.

The issue i am having is keeping the LG P2 or anything in device manager stable without it consantly reloading.
I did manage to get to S/W upgrading once (but didnt have the other steps installed/finished yet.) I think i did it by eventually doing step 5 (after all the step 1 stuff) on lelus fastboot.
Im hoping i cant just jump right off there (IF i can get it to get to s/w again) as im guessing all s/w upgrade screens are the same point.
Crossing my fingers that i can figure out how to make all this work! Stupide security lock

It works!
Holy crap this works!
I retried everything fresh on another pc, everything worked on first try. Sorta, i mean i did kinda forget how to get into S/W upgrade mode, but i got there on the second try.
Anyways, 1000000 million thank yous for this write up! Now i just need to remember how to root this thing!

@fox12345
Thanks for taking the time to provided some instructions. I've been meaning to do so but been busy with other stuff.
I don't like asking for thanks, but sometimes I do. If it's not much of a problem, hit the thanks button on my posts provided in your thread.

I am having the same problems. I did you method and the only change is now the "Security Error" is gone but phone still wont boot or enter recovery or S/W update mode. When this all started I had stock GB on it. I downloaded a version of JB V20F_00 that supposedly had an unlocked bootloader. I made it through root, installing CWM as TWRP wouldn't install, and flashed a version of CM 11 for it. When it rebooted it had the security error. I have completed your steps but now cannot enter recovery or S/W Upgrade mode. I have tried holding the Vol Up key and inserting the cable without the battery, holding the Vol Down and plugging it in sans battery, holding both Vol buttons and plugging it in sans battery, and all the same steps with the battery connected. No luck. Any help you could give would be much appreciated

If your phone appears dead, then something messed up with fastboot. Run fastboot again and flash an ice cream x & u (select the option for your device).

Thanks much for the reply. Im pretty sure it was actually a driver conflict of some sort as when I installed the same exact everything in another computer and reattempted to enter sw mode it worked perfectly. still got hung at 15% but closing all programs, running ccleaner, and rebooting allowed me to flash V20D_00. All is good now.

you guys are amazing
wow...was just to give up on my l9 w/security error as a casualty of my compulsive need to jack around with my phones and I find this. I had rooted and tried to flash CWM when everything went wrong. I had been deep into cmahendra's thread but my phone was never recognized...I was missing the fastboot/flashing step. Once I flashed the .img files cmahendra's awesome method went off without a hitch.
OK so I feel like I can get it back to stock if I screw up so I'm gonna go root it and try to flash a custom rom (bookmarking this thread...fairly certain I'll be back lol)
THANK YOU FOR THIS THREAD AND ALL YOUR WORK!!

If your bootloader is locked you're gonna end up with a mess to straighten out. It can be fixed tho. Bootloader must be unlocked to flash custom recovery and/or ROM.

I'm currently trying to go through the steps. I am on the part to run commands for the img files but i get this error "error: cannot load '2u-ice.img' "
Am i doing something wrong?

screen not working

Thanks for putting this guide up, I was stuck at the point where the LG Mobile Phone Software, would say that my device is not connected with USB. But I know it was because I had it all connected, it showed up in the device manger and was recognized by fastboot. I guess I just didn't have the right images to be compatible with flashed onto the device. Thanks to you putting all of this together, it finally worked again. Thanks a lot life saver!!!!!!!!!!!

Undesired lines in LG optimus L9 P765
I opted this method to unbrick because i was getting the same security error. And successfully installed all the 3 images. But it was after installing these the real problem came in. Now i could enter the bootloader but it appeared to be a set of multi colored lines. And when i tried to replace the installed recovery img with CWM img, the security error problem again came in. I am trapped in a situation that i have to get access somehow to CWM or any alternative. Can someone suggest me some good alternative for lg p765? or is there any work around for this?

Am I doing something wrong?

Would there be a way without having to connect it to the pc? PC keeps losing connection, and doesn't recognize the device. I installed the OMAP drivers manually, but still it's not recognized. Could I try something from SD card maybe? Or is it time to throw it away?

Lg P760 after this procedure phone is compleatly dead.

[Q] L9 won't boot?

After I rooted my phone with LGPwn, I was attempting to set partitions on my sd card so that I would be able to use Link2SD. However, after I partitioned my phone, link2sd did not recognize my second partition, saying that it wasn't mounted, so I decided to reboot. After my phone shut off, It never turned back on. I have tried home, vol down, power, taken out battery, etc. When it is plugged into my pc, the computer seems to recognize it for a few seconds, and then disconnects. How do I fix this?
Have the same problem. Please HELP !

I have the exact same problem. Was using an app to create an ext2 partittion on my SD card, to use Link2sd. Ended up formating my phone. Now it wont do anything, it does not turn on in any way. My computer recognizes the phone when I connect it ( had to install some drivers). Im able to boot into fastboot mode. Now my question is how do i fix my partions. I have tried the following comands and this is what I get.

I would.... but the thing is that to use the LG Software you need to put the phone in " S/W mode" and like I said before the phone does not turn on in any way (not even in S/W mode) because i formated the partitions. All I'm able to do is put on the phone in fastboot mode (the screen with the inverted LG logo, that says fastboot v5.0 on the top).
Thank for the suggestion though.
Are you sure ?
For example, if you remove the battery, then plug your phone in your computer USB without battery and finally maintain the Vol+ button while it's plugged, the device doesn't turn on in "S/W Upgrade" ?
I always thought "S/W Upgrade" mode was a very low level feature but maybe I am wrong.

Nope, already tried it. I think I formatted the partition that had the img file for S/W Update .......
The only solution I have found is to boot into fastboot mode... All I need is the command or way to reformat or fix the partitions using fastboot.
Bump .. Found I guy who had the same problem and created a guide on how to fix it, here is a link http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/71825-hard-brick-to-hell-and-back-guide-to-recovery/.... Now if we can just find a way to apply the same method to our LG L9, then maybe we could fix the phone.
I hope you can find a solution to your issue. But, while I was reading the solution for E730, I see one issue : when you extract KDZ files from P760 firmware, you only get ".bin" and ".fls" files.
I don't know how those files can be extracted again to get the real final files. I saw this issue with V20I_00.kdz, maybe you could try an older version such as V10A_00.kdz.
Good luck !
EDIT : Did you try this solution ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612356
Try flashing ics x and u in fastboot. See if you're able to get a boot to s/w upgrade mode.

[D618] [HELP] No download mode, no recovery, no bootloader, nothing! :(

I downloaded a stock firmware (V20a D618) and at installation via LG Flash Tool, the USB cable was left with bad contact and gave installation error; After that when I turn on my phone it is only showing the logo of LG and the upper right corner appears:
"[710] fastboot_init()
[810] USB init ept @ 0x1001d000
[830] udc_start()"
I can't enter in download mode, fastboot, recovery, bootloader, nothing...
Any solution???? :crying:
(sorry to my english.)
You need to reflash your system.
But first, try to flash proper boot.img for your device.
Search on XDA.
If you done it correctly, your phone boots up straight to the bootloader.
Try also this trick :
0. Turn off your phone (dOH!), take out battery pack for about 20sec and re-insert battery.
1. Hold VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON.
2.After LG logo, right away, LET DOWN POWER BUTTON and PRESS IT AGAIN AND HOLD.
3. Maybe that will put into download mode.
(It should'nt because its for factory reset, but who knows?)

I don't know why your phone doesn't accept the boot.img (maybe try another boot.img ?).
But in case that won't work, you can always try to enter download mode by this method :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g2-mini/general/guide-unbrick-bricked-wrong-aboot-img-t3128896
In summary : let your battery goes 0%, then try to power the phone, it won't and will show you the low battery icon : at this moment, press and hold the volume low button, and connect it to you computer, the phone should enter in download mode. Then you can flash a .kdz .
It worked for me when a realy bricked my phone and cannot acces either the recovery or fastboot .

See this:

First download and decompress:

switch on the smart tab 4g
and in command line in a terminal type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot cwm.img
wait a little and then you will see the CWM screen and then install the cm-11-20150714-M12-pop8lte.zip file which must be copied on the microSD TF card you inserted in the tablet. When the flashing is over, reboot and you're ready to go.
This ROM is pre-rooted. No need to root after.

Excuse me, what Android system recovery do you mean? The system recovery menu that the vodafone smart tab 4g has by default?
I didn't mention this recovery method in my writing. Other method I explained. The CWM recovery method as follows:
First download and decompress:
SmartTab4G_Recovery_KK_benjaminwan_EN.zip
switch on the smart tab 4g and connect it via USB to your PC. USB debugging should be turned ON!
and in command line in a terminal type:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot cwm.img
wait a little and then you will see the CWM screen and then install the cm-11-20150714-M12-pop8lte.zip file which must be copied on the microSD TF card you inserted in the tablet. When the flashing is over, reboot and you're ready to go.

Now you need to go into the bootloader mode on the tablet.
So,
1. Switch it OFF
2. Press and hold the volume DOWN button together with the power ON button and keep them pressed for 5 seconds until you see on the tablet screen the black screen with the writing "POWERED BY android" in white at the bottom. You are now in bootloader mode.
3. Connect the tablet via USB to your PC
4. Download and decompress: SmartTab4G_Recovery_KK_benjaminwan_EN.zip
5. In command line in a terminal window on your PC type:
fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock
fastboot -i 0x1bbb boot cwm.img
wait a little and then you will see the CWM screen and then install the cm-11-20150714-M12-pop8lte.zip or any other ROM file which must be copied on the microSD TF card you inserted in the tablet. The Google APPS (nano and pico) zip files should also be present on the TF MicroSD. After installing the ROM file from zip on the SD card we need install one of the GAPPS files. I personally installed the pico to have more space on the /system partition.

And where is the right drivers? My Vodafone Smart Tab 4g P353X is bricked and the only connection that i have is for QDLoader 9008 with QPST. How to establish connection for ADB?
Now in device manager i can get Android Bootloader Interface after installing official POP 8S drivers, but i still can`t get the device to be listed in ADB... and to see the tablet in device manager i have to hold power+vol down. Power+vol up=recovery mode and vol up+vol down= qdloader 9008(download mode for Qualcomm).

How did your Vodafone Smart Tab 4G get bricked?
I would propose you to consider to connect it to a Linux PC (running Linux Mint for example) and install the latest ADB package on it and then connect your Vodafone Smart Tab 4G.
In Linux you don't need any drivers.

you're welcome.
my personal view is that, yes, they are better because they work much faster with less computing overhead for the tablet providing at the same time more features.
one however, need be extra careful when flashing those ROMs to the tablet in order not to cause damage and brick it.

Stuck loading screen, test mode, connect cable screen

Hi
I used my Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, 3GB RAM, 32GB new phone first day yesterday.
When I went to sleep it was 92% charged and when I woke up it was stuck on the Xiaomi loading screen. I let it on that screen for about 3 hours before I restarted it.
It's unable to boot into normal mode, and when I try to get into recovery mode it just shows a screen to connect a cable.
When I connect the cable to the computer it shows that the cable is connected but nothing happens after this.
If I boot the phone in fastboot and use Mi PC Suite to try to flash it, it just tells me to reboot in normal mode and try again.
If I hold all 3 buttons I have managed to get into some test mode, but from there I can't do anything.
How can I reset or get into my phone again? Is this normal behaviour after just one day use?

By looks of it, you have a locked bootloader and hence, are unable to flash fastboot files. The only way for you to make your device usable again is to somehow boot into the 'edl' mode and use MiFlash to falsh the fastboot ROM from there.
Hi! Thanks for your reply.
I didn't do anything to the bootloader, so yeah it should be locked.
I will contact the store I bought it from and try to get it returned.
So sad to have made this purchase. I hope I can find another phone, perhaps one that is not as cheap as this.
Hi again!
I have kept trying to solve this issue further. I'm able to get into edl mode using the modified fastboot that I found here on the forums with "fastboot reboot-edl".
I managed to run MiFlash 2016.04.01 (important, newer version didn't work!)
But it still seems to be stuck in just an endless Android loading screen. Anything else I can try?

Hi!
Thanks for offering your help, andersonaragao.
I finally got it to work by doing a "Flash all" of the MIUI 8 package.
So the steps so solve was just this easy:
Boot in fastboot (Volume down + power)
Make sure you have kenzo or kate (fastboot getvar product)
Get correct fastboot rom, depending on kenzo/kate: (http://en.miui.com/a-234.html)
Boot in edl (Fastboot_edl-v2: fastboot reboot-edl)
MiFlash 2016.04.01 (Flash all)

(Soft?)Bricked One Plus X after failed CM14-20161222-nightly Update

Hello there!
Long story short:
I'm was successfully running on twrp-3.0.2-0-onyx-20161020-085152.img and cm-13 on my beloved OPX for serveral months now. Got it running, following this guides:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-update-bootloader-firmware-to-t3478917
https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_onyx
Also, happily updating the nightly builds since then.
But last update went wrong. I OTA updated my device on the go, not paying to much attention that the update will be cm13->cm14. After TWRP installed the update i got stuck on reboot with the OnePlus logo.
I restarted the phone (Powerbutton off/on), 'cause my guts told me that something went wrong. I hoped to reboot to recovery an rollback the update to previous CM version.
But, it won't boot.
This is what happens:
Powerbutton down (Trun on): -> Vibrates -> flashes OP Logo + powerd by Android -> Vibrates -> flashes OP Logo + powerd by Android ->...
I can reach fastboot mode by VolumeUp (w/o pressing powerbutton) but i cannot reach TWRP recovery.
So normally i could totally live with fastboot, flashing reflashing unlocking etc. BUT here my first WTF experience took place:
I can not
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
because oem unlock is locked! I know how to unlock it via DevMode -> unlock oem unlock yadda yadda (who had this "great" idea anyway?!). But since i cannot boot the OS, i cannot enter devmode....
So before going through all the (Mega)unbrick guides, I'm curious:
Is there some way around this dilemma?
What we've got: No OS, no recovery, only fastboot
Code:

I've no problem to completely wipe or factory reset or stock reset my device, hence i love tinkering with it and have backups of important data.
I sincerely ask for some pointers, links, opinions on how to go on from here? Is there a chance to get my phone back running? Should I stop searching and just follow the unbrick guides?
Are there unbrick guides for Linux users? (Just nice to have! )
Is there some exploit, backdoor, trick, magic to circumvent a disabled 'oem unlock'? (again: who had this 'great' idea anyways? )

Hi,
I do have the very same issue.
I can enter fastboot but that's about it. Would be curious to get it running again without the "mega unbrick" stuff...
I found a way to get back.
After i have flashed to CM 14.1 Nightly update it was stuck at the oneplus logo, and i felt the same that something went wrong had no other choice just rebooted the phone and then it started acting wired (Phone vibrates and it shows oneplus logo for every second) and not able to access TWRP. Only i can access is Fast boot but here is the twist the oem was locked and we cannot unlock it any way.
Spent lot of time (2hrs+) searching for the solution and finally found it :angel:

Press VolUp until you see something in Devicemanager! It took more than 10s for me too until it showed up in Devicemanager.
Or if you have a Linux at hand, look at dmesg. You should see something like this:

I was stuck on OnePlus logo too, but I solved the situation pushing a different recovery throgh fastboot commands, then I've installed a different ROM. It took me only 5 minutes!
When you restart your bricked device (pressing for 12 seconds the power btn) keep pressed the Volume UP BTn to enter the Fastboot Mode, the follow the procedure to flash a different recovery.
I'm using BlueSpark TWRP Recovery. As ROM, for now, I'm using XperienceRom with Android 7.1 and no bug found.
I tried that too, but no use. it says OEM Locked and we cannot unlock the phone that means we cannot load anything.

Use megha unbrick guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...ga-unbrick-guide-hard-bricked-t3272108/page20
I had the same problem. Solved it by first flashing latest cm and right after that I flash arsenic kernel and then reboot. I had to do that every time I flash a new nightly build but it works. Hope it helps
Hello.
I've had the exact same problem as semph0re.
Did the Mega Unbrick Guide thing, somehow I got a "Sahara communication failed" during the process, but it still managed to flash the stock recovery (and the old bootloader i guess).
From there I'm able to install and successfully boot OOS 2.3 (or older), old versions of CM13.0 (those based on the old bootloader), and TWRP-3.0.2-0 recovery and therefore unlock the bootloader.
So basically anything compatible with the old bootloader.
And trying to install anything based on the new bootloader, either a stock rom, the OPX_MM_recovery from Oneplus, any custom rom, with or without custom kernel or a custom recovery leave me with a fixed Oneplus logo (and the powered by android disappearing almost immediately)
But I can't manage to update the bootloader.
Either by trying to install OOS3.1.x from OOS 2.x
Nor by following matwaking guidehttps://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/guide-update-bootloader-firmware-to-t3478917
Does anyone have face the same issue ? Any idea what could the cause of the problem ?
The only thing I could think of but didn't try is to go through the Mega Unbrick guide again. But I'm on Ubuntu and do not have a Windows machine anywhere near me at the moment.
@GARGZUL you have to use stock recovery from 2.X.X not mm stock.

That's what I tried many times.
Trying to install OOS3.x from OOS2.x with either (old)stock recovery or TWRP-3.0.2-0 leave me with a beautiful stuck Oneplus logo when booting system.
And those are the only recovery I can boot on. Any more recent recovery won't boot (fixed Oneplus logo again or 'dtb not found' error when boot from fastboot command) since they require the new BL.
It's like when trying to install OOS3.x or flashing matwaking's BLUpdater.zip the old bootloader is not deleted, effectively preventing any new BL based rom or recovery to boot.
@GARGZUL Use latest twrp and you want to use 2.2.3 before flashing 3.X.X .

@GARGZUL your using the wrong twrp use 3.0.3

I would if I could. But when flashing TWRP 3.0.3-0 (either with flashboot or via TWRP 3.0.2-0) my phone won't boot to recovery (Vol down+poweer gives me a stuck oneplus logo, and 'fastboot boot twrp-3.0.3-0-onyx.img' gives me a "dtb not found" error).
Any other idea ?
