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.

Have you tried all the mentioned methods? Press the combination buttons a little longer (Maybe that can help).
BTW what did you do that bricked your phone?
I flashed custom recovery image successfully and after that, when phone has to restart, it just stuck at LG logo.
When I tried to enter in custom recovery menu, but it shows only LG logo.
I tried to connect with PC, but it was unsuccessfully. The PC doesn't recognize the device. (nothing happens).
Can anyone help me?
This happened to me also. I solved it like this:
First thing to do is get sure the LG drivers are installed ( there is a topic in the forum on this also).
Install KDZ ( serch in the forum and download it)
Download a room ( stock or not )
Flash the phone with KDZ ( after the drivers have been installed the phone should be detected on the pc.
After flashing if it does not start up do not fear, get the battery out, re install the battery and do a hard reset power+home+volume down buttons pressed at the same time and it should work.
If its your first time install Stock GB 20E as it is an open room, if not new to this I would suggest CM7.
Hope it helped
Regards
But the PC doesn't recognize the phone.
Here is the log from KDZ:

I had this same issue too, do not worry.
Keep your phone plugged into your computer, and go to Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems and disable the LG modem.
I am on Windows XP, so it may not be the same steps, but the point is that you have to disable the LG modem in Device Manager.
I had the same problem as well at one point. What operating system are you running on your computer?
I had the same issue, but I could not find the LG modem to disable it, it was just that windows was not detecting my phone at all, or using the drivers I had installed for my P500 to figure out what was connected to my laptop. Bricked phone after a failed ROM flash. Reinstallation of USB drivers for my phone failed to do anything.
Have you used LG Mobile update at all? I got all my drivers through it, rather than useless PC Suite 4.
Download it through HERE
Here's what I did to rectify it (Running windows vista):
DO NOT PLUG IN YOUR PHONE UNTIL STEP 3!
1. Went to system restore in windows(you'll find it under Backup and Restore in the Control Panel) and restore your computer to a state before installing any drivers for your phone.
2. After everything had completed, installed LG Mobile update. There is an option to install general USB drivers for your phone, DO NOT do it! Go to Customer Support > Application, Manual & USB driver download. Input your IMEI number from behind the battery in the back of your phone(or just select the "Read your phone" option if you can get it to read your phone). It will search and return the correct drivers for your exact phone. Download and install your USB drivers.
3. Keep your phone disconnected from your PC, and start up LG mobile update again. Connect your phone, LG mobile update should verify the connection by trying to connect to your phone, checking software versions, etc. It will connect even if you are stuck at the LG screen.
4. If everything checks out run KDZ updater and flash your phone back to original specs.
hey first go to emergency mode by pressing back(return) and volume up
and then in emergency mode use kdz it then only pc will recongnise your phone
believe me this thing also happens with me and I know that time I very scared
that time I used this article

read general thread it has been answered many times,stucking at lg logo is solved by take out battery reinsert and the 3 button combo
have u tried HOME + VOL DOWN +POWER BUTTON,still if it dont,

The same problem. But i solved it.
1) install again the driver using B2CAppSetup
2)This is based by xda forum by: Zecanills with a detailed explanation from my side.
- You need to download the firmware of your device. Download "Orginal LG Firmware" application (search in xda forum). Open it, put your IMEI and you will download the original ROM.
- Download KDZ updater and uncompress it
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
- Install msxml.msi from the uncompressed directory
3) Remove the battery, put it back and start the phone in emergency mode (actually the only way possible) back+up volume+power
Connect your device and run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe (as administrator). If the phone is not recognized repeat step 3) several times.
Select Type : 3GQCT
Select PhoneMode : DIAG
In KDZ file : Choose the ROM file you downloaded in the step 2)
Press Launch software update and wait (It will be 10 minutes or so).
Wait until it reboots.
After reboot will appear an image as in the following link: http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/330813-all-one-recovery-thread.html
Don't worry. Restart phone again pushing power button (or remove battery, put it back and push power ) and then after few minutes you will have the phone as the begging when you bought it.
Thanks people for helping me. I just put the phone in emergency mode (Volume UP button + Home button), connected to the PC and flashed with KDZ.
After that, the phone works fine.
Thank you again!

So many people around here are having issues with KDZ, errors such as:
--Connections problem between PC and Phone
-Drivers problem.
-Cannot find the phone.
-Bricked too hard.
-Random chinese info stuff...How did i find this solution ?
After i copied the wrong aboot.bin to my device KDZ stopped working even after i repaired it.Why did i try to use KDZ after i repaired it?Well because i bricked it again by installing some modules that weren't compatible and it ended by deleting some of my system apps and also my navigation bar.So, i thought myself why LG designed an program for software update and why don't we use it?So i used B2CAppSetup, and not only that it fixed my device but also it reverted the firmware that i lost when i bricked my phone first time, because when i bricked it the first time i couldn't find the same KDZ i just flashed one that seemed compatible.I have to say it was way more faster and easier.

Let's get to the guide shall we?
Step 1 : Download B2CAppSetup( i attached it for ya )
Step 2a : Install it !
Warning Step 2 : If you already have KDZ installed using @hyelton method DON'T INSTALL IT!, you should already have it in your KDZ folder .
Step 2b (If you already have KDZ installed using @hyelton method and can't find B2CAppSetup) : Just delete it and install the program from here .
Step 3 : Open the program and plug your phone into the PC/Laptop whatever.
Step 3.1a: If you can boot up your phone( i mean if it's not bricked ) just select Software LG mode and in the B2CAppSetup window there should appear something like "Your phone has been discovered, do you want to install the driver?", you would say Yes and wait until the driver is installed.
Additional Info for Step 3.1a : For B2CAppSetup to find your phone you don't need only to have the Software LG mode enabled, you will also need the driver that should automatically install by itself.
Step 3.1b:If your device is bricked and can't boot you'll have to enter the Download Mode, to do that just keep holding the Vol. Up button while inserting the USB cable in the phone( The USB cable must be already plugged into the PC while doing that), and you keep it until you go into the Download Mode.
Step 4 : Now let's get the upgrade done. So basically since our phone has no firmware updates we have to trick the program. In the upper right corner you should see two options available, you are going to click on the one that says "Additional Functions"( the one in the left) and then select the second options that says something like "Recovery from an update error".
Step 5 : Now if you've followed as i've said it should be very easy from now on.The program will connect to the device and start downloading the right Firmware Update that you had when your phone first came.
WARING !!! : DURING THE INSTALLATION THE PROGRAM MAY GIVE YOU THIS ERROR " The device has been disconnected from the PC, do you want to abort the update" , you just let it that way because it will still be installing even if that error pops-up.
Step 5.1 : When the installation reaches like 80% your phone should boot up, but don't disconnect it yet, just wait until the program crashed itself,it should crash when it's 99%, after that you can unplug it.
Errors after installing:
1 )com.android.phone has stopped responding
2 )acore has stopped...
3 )contacts has stopped...
n )......
( and it keeps saying that without stopping and letting you do anything )
To fix it just, do a hard reset by using the stock recovery. Hope this method helped you in any way since the links where we could download the KDZ files are mostly down and since the KDZ works when it want and how it want.Feel free to ask question.This method was tested on the D620.
... and then select the second options that says something like "Recovery from an update error".

Well, this is a guide on how to reflash the stock version in case KDZ is not working, i guess if the USB still recognizes the phone it may be a chance to work, just attempt to use the software and see if it works (after all this is another method beside KDZ)

I'm having the same issues. My LG G2 Mini D618 is stuck in the LG logo
I can't seem to enter Download mode even though I follow the instruction (press volume up button as I plug the USB cable) and installed USB drivers. Please help!
Hi guys,
Sorry to revive the old post, but I haven't been able to find me a solution after many days searching... A customer came to me with an LG G2 Mini D625 (located in Chile), for what i've been investigating the phone is stuck in APX mode, I got to install the "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices", and now I'm trying this method to attempt to revive the phone... however it has come to my attention that after:
1. Removing the battery
2. Keeping pressed vol+
3. Connecting the usb cable to phone & pc while doing step 2
I can't get the phone to boot in Download mode... Could it be it's a different method for D625? Is it plain dead & hard-bricked without any options left? Can something be done with some sort of box? I don't have any type of box myself, but if needed be, I can advise my customer to go with another technician who owns a box...
EDIT: I have the phone with me... just FYI
My friend gave me a phone that does not respond to anything, no react for VolumeUP + PowerButton without battery, it does not detect the computer* What can I do? Anny ideas? Its finally bricked or what?
My computer try to install ONE driver when i randomly plugged my USB cable to my phone, but not succeeded up
After that what i said about driver, i never be able to see this window with this driver after this one time.
Name of the driver - OMAP4430
Hope you help me with this.
Small wonder, w/o battery.
Unless you want to invoke download mode to flash a stock rom with LGs flash tool. But even that probably requires a battery, despite some people saying the opposite. Download mode: Keep volume pushed while attaching phone via usb. Battery can/must stay in.
hi try reinstall x loader you need install the drivers omap and use mode fastboot... search how to install driver omapp (search here in xda ) and the folder fastboot has a file .bat you run it and show you the option

If you gotta Recovery access AND the latest and BUMPED recovery (for example TWRP), you can still try to flash THIS:
-download the ROM from the PC;
-then, install ADB on linux or windows;
- 'adb push path_to_TOM_on_your_PC (for example, on linux, '/home/user_name/Download') /sdcard/Download (folder where ROM will be pushed in your device);
-Then try to flash the ROM.
It seems weird that your device isn't recognize with Linux, but try this still..
@almars are you on stock? What caused your problem?
There is indeed a chance to save your phone. 99%chance
so before I had stock but now I do not think any system.
One day shut down with the message "the system will now be turned off" and began to restart. From that moment, the computer does not detect my phone. I started the recovery and performed Dalvik cache, date etc. I can start download mode but it is the lack of communication with the computer.
Now, after the power is turned LG logo already is and end, nothing happens
Hi casual_kikoo , unfortunately I can not use the ABD because the computer does not recognize the phone.
Drivers from LG and ADB, of course, installed

For me it does not work "Since the phone turned off, press power + vol down, release as soon as the logo appears and then hold vol down + vol up"
If nothing works you may have to open the phone to unbrick it and flash the right stock files to it. Also see general for several unbricking guides to see or you could still fix your phone without doing that.
