I tried to root my LG Optimus Showtime using the steps I found on here. 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?
Thank you in advance!
Also, if anyone can recover phones, please IM me and I would be happy to discuss sending it to you (for a fee, of course) if you think you can help.

So I rooted my sister's optimus v about a month ago. Today she installed a battery mod app from applanet and as soon as she chose which battery mod she wanted she had to restart her phone for the changes to be applied, but when rebooting the phone it would only get stuck in reboot. So I tried to start it up in recovery and got the blue screen that says fastboot mode started. I looked that up online and found a fix to it but I need it to go into emergency mode to fix it that way and it will not go into emergency mode, any combination of keys only takes it to either the blue screen with the fastboot mode message or it just reboots and gets stuck. So now what do I do? I really need to find a way to fix her phone. Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help.
try to turn on the phone & use LGMobile update tool. That should recognise the phone & install original lg fw

I managed to finally get the phone into emergency mode. I had installed the LG mobile support tool and installed all the drivers and tried to go that route but it kept telling me I only had one of four drivers installed, even though I have installed several drivers. After all of that I had finally got it into emergency mode so I went back to trying KDZ. I'm supposed to select the rom where it asks for the KDZ file right? But when I go to browse for the rom file it doesn't show up in the folder I put it in. I've rooted 4 phones and have done so many other things with them and never bricked one, was always able to figure out everything I did and never had to ask any questions but I can't figure this out to save my life and it is driving me crazy. I do really appreciate you guys for the suggestions and thanks to your suggestions I have gotten this far.
Hey, I have the same problem. I rooted my phone then I installed that battery mod app on applanet. I installed it then when I had to restart my phone for it to apply it just got stuck and kept looping the reboot screen where it says "ANDROID". Did you get ur fixed yet?

I'm having the same issue right now, although at least you have managed to get it into emergency mode. How did you do it?
The other issue I'm seeing is that there is no .kdz for the Optimus V LGVM670. I found a .cab file that is supposed to be the newest update, but not even sure that will work with the the kdz manager.
It was my sister's phone and I had the same problem with kdz. Had the cab file so couldn't use it with kdz. My sister left her phone with me for a few days to try to fix it and when I couldn't she took it home and managed to fully brick it to where it would do nothing at all so she had to get a new phone. I got it into emergency mode by holding down the volume and it was either the back button or the home button I pushed at the same time, can't remember which. As I held those down I plugged in the USB cord that was connected to my laptop and it went right into emergency mode. Just make sure you disable that LG modem in the device manager on the computer before doing anything because my sister forgot to do that and that is how she fully bricked her phone. Good luck to you guys and if anyone figures out how to fix it I would be interested in knowing how you did it.

hmmmmm, I don't remember completely how I did it, but there was a very helpful guide floating around XDA. I bricked my Mom's Optimus one as well . I actually had to go to the LG support site, type in my Phone serial number and find a list of all the firmware available. From there I right clicked the page and got the page source. From there I got my firmware and I entered it in the KAZ or LG B2I Agent ? - Dont quite remember. Anyways, it ended up working out for me, but I accidentally flashed the German firmware, but in the end, everything was all good LOOL.
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry if ever I'm posting this on the wrong section cause I'm not sure if this is a problem from android or samsung.
I'm not good at all when it comes to phone troubleshooting so I will try my luck and ask questions about what have happened to my phone just awhile ago. I got this phone from Japan(Samsung Galaxy SII Wimax isw11sc) months ago and I only use it for multimedia purposes as it is region locked and I am at another country atm. everything is running fine until my phone asked for a software update(not really sure what upgrade that was) and I decided to give it a shot and let it download the updates. I left it to do some chores and when I came back to check on it, it reboot looped itself on the AU(mobile phone company from japan) logo.
I did some research and found some things like hard reset and download mode. I tried to do the hard reset(power/home/volume up) method but I can't seem to access the settings instead, the phone keeps on showing me this "Preparing for S/W update. Please wait." after a few seconds, the phone will reset itself back to the reboot loop.
I tried to do the download mode using odin mode but then, I realized that my phone and computer won' connect via USB port because well, my phone won't boot. Also downloaded the manual driver but my pc won't recognize it.(win7 if that helps.)
Please tell me what have happened and what I can do to fix this problem, I don't really care if i lose everything that I have stored on my phone, I just want it to work again. Help will be much appreciated, Thank you.
Greetings Everyone,
Yesterday i installed the last CM13 nightly via the CM updater in this phone.
But after the phone restarted, a green android and a "installing system update" appeared for a few seconds then after it went black, the screen blinks each 5 seconds or so, but nothing ever happens. I left the phone on overnight to see if something came up, but to no avail.
Furthermore, now i cannot enter recovery mode, only download mode and my computer does not recognize the phone. I tried pretty much everything, the basic guide on rooting i9100, KIES, Odin, Heimdall flashing, offering corpses to the Old Ones and nothing works.
Does anyone have any insight on what might be happening? I installed CM13 on my two phones (a z3c and a Note 4) and everything went smoothly. Now with this i9100 i was using 6.0.1 but everything went to hell after i tried this update.
Thanks in advance
I'm in a same boat

You might find your answer here I'm not clever enough to post the link so you get it "Longhand".
Go To Forum Galaxy SII General.
Scroll to [Guide} Fix an unflashable or soft bricked GSII (i9100G/P/T/ versions included)
Have a good read through it and if you dare go for it . It's a "back to the future" sort of thing, takes you back to "jellybean" and android 4.1.2. (The route I took anyway)! Good Luck!
same problem here! please help me get my phone back :crying:

I had same problem - but ....... it was software bricked. Like yours.
If I repair then all of you can repair like me.

Hello all.
I´m pretty desperated at this point. No matter what, my phone (LG G2 mini D620k, I have 2 years with it) keeps bricking. Keep in mind I´m a noob in this world, so I´m looking for help here.
This started like 2 months ago, it bricked so I searched on Internet and did the hard reset. It worked well, for a while. I downloaded all my usual apps without rooting it, then suddenly: bricked.
Another hard reset, and again, it worked. So someday it started freezing, apps closing, so in like a week I used 10 times the LG Mobile support tool to fix errors. It fixed the phone but just for 1-2 days. So again, I did factory reset (this time from the phone, it wasn´t bricked), rooted it, debloated it, and worked fine for 48 hours. Last night it again, from nothing, bricked.
Did hard reset again. I'm asking here: what is wrong with the phone? What is causing this? Is an app? Too many apps? Hardware? Battery?
I love my phone but I´m tired of sitting 3 hours every 2 days fixing it. Cannot afford a new phone or looking for specialized help, so I´m asking here for help.
Keep in mind I´m a noob in this. Can someone help me?
Sorry if this matter is already answered, I did a search and found nothing like this.
Sorry for my bad english.
When you say "bricking" do you mean bootlooping (the LG boot animation keeps playing)?
If so, try to capture a logcat while it's bootlooping via adb. Let it capture for a minute, or so. Then send it to me.
Then, pull out the battery for a couple of seconds, put it back in and power up the phone. Does it still bootloop?

I have the same issue!! I've tryed every CM Rom, custom roms, stock roms and now latest RR, and still the same problem. After flash I install only FB, Messenger and Insta (it's girlfriend's phone) and after 1-2 days phone gets bootloop (only RR logo). I have to do hard reset and flash again whole system to work properly again (for a few days).
I gave my G2Mini to service (not LG Service) but they said that its motherboard issue (probably some boot memory is broken and has memory "leaks") But I think that it cant be this. If this is possible I would try to flash whole system on SD card not internal memmory, maybe this will work
help!

Grab a logcat via adb.
Install adb and Google's drivers (for custom ROMs, LG's for stock ROMs).
Let it record for a minute and give it to us.
I managed to install CM13, worked fine for a month I guess... started with random bugs "x app stopped working". So I restarted the phone and it's in eternal logo when I turn it on.
Since I'm a totally noob at this, I can't find a noob-friendly guide to make it work again.

Wipe /data in recovery.
If that doesn't work, reinstall the ROM and 'pico' OpenGApps

Managed to connect it to my laptop (I could't before), used LGMobile support tool, back to original rom. I guess it will be matter of time to get same errors as before. At least it works again... idk for how long :s
Hard life for a android n00b :x
update:
it freezes suddenly (started in the middle of a skype videocall).
I'm starting to suspect it's a ram problem. Any ideas?
I have the same problem. Did you find any solution?
Nope just threw away this phone and bought new one

You should had sold it for parts
I had rooted my T110, but it was still very slow. I took everything I didn't use out of there, including the default keyboard. I ended up getting a new tablet through a Verizon promotion, so decided to sell the T100. A friend was looking for one for her son, I told her to look at it and if he wanted it, to let me get it ready. I explained I had done a few things that needed to be undone before he could reset it. She either didn't listen or didn't understand. When he said he wanted it, she factory reset it. It started up and all seemed fine until she found there was no keyboard.
I have used Odin 3.09 and tried to put stock firmware on it. Odin says it was successful but it was still coming up without a keyboard. Now I can only boot into download mode. It only stays on for a couple seconds in any mode except download mode, and even then if it is not connected via usb to the computer it shuts down. I can't get it into recovery mode at all and as I said, to try to just start it, it gets to the first page saying Samsung Tab 3 Lite, then almost immediately shuts down.
Can anyone help me find an answer for this? I might be wrong, but keep thinking since I am able to get it to work with Odin, it is possible that I haven't totally lost it and still may be able to get a few bucks out of it.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!
