[Q] Cant Use Lg Flash Tool To Unbrick Phone - Verizon LG G3

Well guys I ****ed up. In the process of trying to flash the lollipop firmware, I bricked my phone. At first I wasnt that mad knowing I could use the LG Flash Tool to return to the stock firmware. I had done this once before and my phone was able to function again. The problem im having this time is that, even after loading the lg g3 verizon drivers, device manager displays the phone as in the screenshots, not under ports like its supposed to. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated seeing as I am currently without my phone and its killing me.

This is what device manager displays.

When you get a chance, see if you have any other DLL files in your lg flash tool folder besides megalock.
While toting yesterday I had to pull another dll out of my backup folder. Maybe its in the op's drive folder and I overlooked it, but the flash tool definantly didn't install it and its the target dll not megalock.

I just wanted to make sure, are you talking to me? If so, yes, I've used the LG VS985 v1.6 DLL in addition to the megalock.dll when trying to TOT.

Yea, you, just checking.
I toted back from 23 and 12 yesterday, no issues. I just go back to the op to refresh my memory, because I don't do it that often.

Got an optimus g off CL. The guy didnt tell me he converted it to mako (thats what it says on fastboot screen) I am trying to get it into recovery mode after I flashed a non mako rom on it. It won't work. So I figured I would lgnpst it. That wont recognize the phone. I'm on windows 8. Is there a special way I have to enter recovery now that it was converted to mako?

If your boot loader is unlocked it will say mako, doesn't have to be converted to say that. Which splash screen did it have when it first boots? If it shows LG for a second or so it is not converted. You may just not have updated rpm/tz partitions needed for 4.2 ROMs. Also lgnpst won't work with USB 3.0 for some reason, and your phone needs to be in download mode for lgnpst to work.
Thanks for the fast reply guys. It was on a usb 3. Got back into cwm and restored it. Will attempt to flash the ota firmware but LGNPST can find the .dll file. I have no idea where it is.

If you use tSilenzio's automated lgnpst it registers DLL for you, it will say ls970 but it works fine for e970, click on the little folder icon in lgnpst.
Edit...is your phone converted?
No it is def not converted. Thanks again guys!

If you are certain it is not converted then you can use teenybin file with lgnpst. It updates your partition and installs twrp. You would just need to flash your rom afterwards and be done.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230994

Not sure what would cause that error. Automated lgnpst wasn't out when I installed it on my laptop, and teenybin wasn't out when I updated to 20j. I always selected dll first then bin. You may want to ask for help in the irc channel http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=lg-optimus-g
got the dll but now it's giving me some error. something about version number 501 or 503...I'll get back on it tomorow.

This isn't an OTA file, it's a KDZ which overwrites anything you have on your phone no matter what, using LG Mobile Tool 2014 on a Windows PC to flash it.

I understood, I am on 23b and I didn't want to go back to 12 or 10 to go up to another "unofficial release", but if this flashes directly with no problem I may be more inclined to try it out.

Yes you can flash directly without rolling back.
Anyone try rooting and TWRP? I assume it's possible, based on the leaks, but not ready to wipe everything until I know.

Technically you can 'update' from 23A, but it's a KDZ so you will lose all data on your internal storage.

I'd have to see it myself to be able to tell you. What I can tell you is that the 23C_01 KDZ has at least some different files than the 23C "OTA" leak we were using on here.
So if you're on the 23C that was available before the last 24 hours, it's not the same 23C. Similar, not identical.

I doubt if you'd be able to see the difference, but there's definitely technical differences. Example: the 23C_01 modem.img is 7 MB smaller than the one from the 23C leak we had.

Yes, I did use the 35b dll.
Use the original USB cable. Try a different USB 2.0 port. Reboot the PC. Try a different PC if possible. Are you changing the port # for the correct entry in Device Manager? Not saying you made the same mistake as I did, necessarily, but I apparently was changing the wrong entry but the return to stock directions were exactly right.

if the previous suggestions dont help, try the proper dll for the version firmware you are using.

[Help!!] How to Unbrick Metro PCs LG K7 LGMS330!!

Alright so I recently got the lg k7 from metro pcs and decided to root it. I rooted it using kingroot and then used supersu me so that I could install supersu instead of the one used for kingroot. It worked and then asked me to reboot my phone but when it started up again, it just stayed frozen on the metro pcs logo! I removed the battery and went into recovery mode, (by clicking the down volume+power button) but when it starts up again, it still stays stuck on the metro logo. Im assuming it is stuck on a bootloop? I also believe it is soft brick because i can still access the download mode, although it did take a while as i had to find the dang drivers b/c my computer would not recognize it.
I tried using the LG Mobile Support Tool to try to unbrick it, but it says that it already has the latest firmware installed! I cant do an update recovery either!
Sadly the 7 day exchange and return has ended and I cannot replace it, so is there any other way that anyone knows to unbrick the phone?
Thanks
Did you ever figure this out? I had my k7 goto a secure boot error 9 and cant figure it out.

The only way to fix our LG devices...including @Goongydin device
1. downloada kdz firmware file for our respective model & carrier
2. download lg flashtool & another tool on a windows PC
3. put the device in download mode
4. reflash the firmware(Stock)
check out my tutorial here if the firmware file for the LG K7 is ever released...http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/how-to-universally-manually-update-lg-t3280735
HOWEVER the LG K7 firmware file has NOT been released yet & LG wont release if ask...I asked once & they told me they do NOT make it & then I ask another time(different lg representative) She said that file is proprietary & so it can NOT be released to anyone outside of LG...
so I have multiple responses that conflicts with one another especially when the first conversation was with an LG developer...who ACTUALLY makes those files apparently, but inclined that he does NOT.

Tried with an older computer 32bit with usb 2.0 and it did the same thing. Toolkit said "VSB98546A is not supported," also tried the toolkit to instal twrp and it gave the same warning. LG flash tool fails because of model check. When you scroll up next to model is blank.
I also tried flashing a kdz using lg flash tool 2014 and it was jsut question marks. The status bar would go across on screen then nothing. Nothing ever changed on phone.
First things first. With the phone in download mode and connected to the PC via USB, when you look in Windows' Device Manager, do you see the phone listed in the Modem section?

The only KDZs you can flash from stock 46A are 35B or 47A. If you want to get to where you can easily root and install TWRP, you'll have to flash the 10B TOT using the .DLL that's extracted from the 35B KDZ, then root using the Stump app and use TWRP Manager from the Play Store to flash TWRP. Then you can flash whatever bootstack and ROM you want.
You can get the 10B TOT and 35B .DLL from my Android File Host link at the bottom of @annoyingduck's stickied return to stock thread in the General section. You'll have to Google for the software to flash TOTs.

I did more reading and it seems not using an LG cable can cause this. I tried with many brands but don't have an LG cable. If those are the correct files I guess my next step is to order an LG cable.

Thanks. I tried that too and got "model information check fail." I used these files:

I can't tell by the filename alone if it's the right file. You can compare to what I have on Android File Host (link in the thread I mentioned).
The TOT file is likely correct. Yes, I always recommend using the original USB cable for flashing. Hopefully that's your solution.
Thanks so much for your help. Looks like I was using the wrong dll file. I used the one in this post below and it worked right away.

I had the same problem and was able to flash an old rom using the LG flashtool, here is a guide:

But I had to use this dll file:

After my phone reset during the flash it displayed 2 on the screen and did not pass. Just go into your PC's device manager and recheck the com port and change it back to 41. Mine changed as the phone reset during the flash process. Once I changed it back to 41 the flash resumed and the displayed 3 on the phone and the computer said pass.
MY Problem Has Been Recoverd By Flashing 35B KDZ using LG FLASH TOOL 2014. Easy and not need of any DLL file. Now i am on 47A using KDZ.
Thanks everyone
