V10 bricked? - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I decided to return my V10 back to stock, so I flashed the recovery, boot, and system img from this post.
Everything was successful, but now the phone won't boot. It just sits at the LG logo.

How long did you wait for it to boot? Did you factory reset? Not sure if you need to, I don't believe you do but might be an option.
If you still have twrp, flash this zip from @mikeyinid
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63660434
If you don't have twrp, perhaps reflashing the other images through fastboot again.

I waited for almost 2 hours while the LG Mobile Support Tool was running. Still sits at the LG logo. Are there any other images available besides the one from TheJesus? The LG Support Tool recognizes the phone, but doesn't download anything when it tries to update recovery.
I also tried booting to recovery using the power + volume down button, still freezes at the LG logo

The LG Mobile support tool is deprecated. You now have to use LG Bridge. You should be able to get back to bootloader by
powering down the phone
Plugging in a micro usb from pc to phone
Hold vol⬇+power
When you see the LG logo release Power (while still holding vol⬇)
Press again the Power while holding vol⬇

Does LG Bridge have the Update Recovery option like the support tool? I'm returning the phone & need to restore it completely back to stock

LG Bridge doesn't recognize the device. When I do vol+power, I can get to the Factory data reset screen, but after I select Yes, I get the little android for 2 seconds, then it goes back to the LG logo and freezes

Sounds like you are missing your recovery. Can you adb and fastboot? If so you can flash the stock recovery.img.

Try it without your battery in (letting the usb on your pc power the device). I'll have a definitive answer on how to get into bootloader shortly. Just picked up my replacement device so I have to unlock and root my device again as well

@captaindoobers: With your phone turned off. Hold Vol up and plug your phone into the USB (it must be plugged into your pc)
This should boot you to fastboot mode

When I did that, it flashed Download Mode for a second, and now I'm in a Firmware Update screen that's sitting at 0%.
adb still says device not found, and fastboot just says 'waiting for device"

Keep in mind, all I did to get to this point was flash all 3 images from this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/development/lg-h901-stock-img-files-boot-recovery-t3238638
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
All 3 flashes were successful (although flashing system.img only took about 4 seconds, which I thought should take much longer considering the size)

I apologize, I told you wrong. You need to take the same steps but instead of volume up it is volume down.
To recap:
Make sure phone is powered off.
Make sure USB is plugged into PC.
With device powered down;
Press and hold the volume down key;
While holding volume down;
Insert microUSB plug into device.
That should get you to fastboot where you might be able to reflash twrp

I was trying to flash a custom recovery on my lg optimus one. When my phone restarted it became stuck on the lg logo. Im really scared that i accidentally bricked it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Anything would be really great help.
Shut down the phone, boot into fastboot mode by pressing "home+power" buttons.
Flash CWM via fastboot method ;-)

U need to use adb with fast boot mode. Do fastboot erase recovery. This will erase the recovery then do fastboot flash recovery recovery.img. and ur done.

[Q] Can not flash, Unrecognized device; Stuck in boot loop with no Recovery

My phone failed a flash of stock .sbf and is now in boot loop. I now can't use RSL because even though my drivers are intalled, Windows shows Unrecognized Device. I've tried all USB ports on the PC... I've tried a completely different PC... same result.
It also uninstalled my recovery and all I get is the /!\ Android screen.
How can I restore the phone?
When you get the /!\ press volume up and volume down to get into stock recovery. Do a factory reset and reboot system. See if that works.

Booted Without A Rom.....Help!

I accidently booted my phone without loading a ROM onto it and now it won't even start. It doesn't even vibrate. HELP!!
Try holding volume up + volume down + power for a few seconds. If the phone vibrates, let go of the power button. You should have booted into recovery.
nope nothing

Can you put it into any boot/flash mode when connecting it to your computer?
If so, for a quick fix I would flash the device using Odin or Flashtool and load a Rom that way.

You gotta get into download mode somehow either with computer and Odin or through different button combination on device try Heimdall as well might be able to use that but if you can't get into bootloader or recovery then it's a wrap

How exactly do I flash/boot via Odin?
There is no change when I plug in my phone into my computer
Yes, do as UncleLester has said. Try hold volume down + power for 10+ seconds. If you're able to go into download mode, you can restore to stock. If the phone doesn't turn on at all, I'm not sure what else you can do...
yeah, I held down the volume up + down + power for almost a minute. Nothing :/
I'm with jpark623 with that if none of the above work I'm afraid your a bit stuck.
What device is it by the way? And how did you get into this mess?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Download mode is accessible by volume down + power. Recovery mode is volume down + volume up + power. Don't press volume up for download mode.
My phone is not even recognized in the ID:COM Section
Were you able to access download mode? If so, then you need to install drivers. If not, you NEED to be in download mode.

There is a thread with a link to a Flashtool download or do what I done and Google Odin and download that.
Odin and Flashtool are programs that make flashing a little easier, the device needs to be put in a fastboot/flash/recovery mode (depending on device it's usually a combo of volume up + volume down or sometimes including the home button) when it's in it, Odin or Flashtool will detect it thats when you can select your chosen Rom.
I use Odin more than Flashtool just because I came across it first and it's never let me down however I haven't used it in a while, when I downloaded it though it did have a little 'how to' guide so everything you need to know will be im there.

I was trying out different custom roms that I had downloaded. I had just finished one and decided to change it. After booting it into recovery mode, I had wiped the cache and reset it back to factory settings. I tried to load a roam named "JZO54K.N7000XXLS7". It errored and stopped trying to install. Afterwards I ended up wiping it again and resetting the cache to make sure there were no remnants. Following this, I rebooted the phone and now i'm in this position

From just reading that I think your device has had it, if your getting no response from those combos them I doubt the computer will read it as it wont have power.

Sounds like a dead battery. Plug it into the wall charger for at least a couple of hours and then see if you can get into recovery. Worse case, may need to do a battery pull. It can be done and is fairly easy...you just need the proper tool.

I have an htc droid dna running cyanfox 4.4 its locked and i cannot get into it, it also has fast boot enabled so i cannot reboot into recovery, what do i do? Ive looked but cannot find anything like it.
Plug your phone into your computer. open a command prompt in your platform-tools folder, and type adb reboot bootloader. This will reboot your phone into bootloader, and from there you can access your recovery to do whatever you need to.

Sorry i forgot to mention but my usb debugging isnt enabled. And it being locked i cannot get into it to enable the usb debugging or disable the fast boot.
You are running a custom rom?
In any event, hold down power until it hard reboots. Once the screen shuts off, keep holding down the power button and press the volume down button at the same time, this should boot you into bootloader to access recovery.

No, password locked so i cant get into the phone and change settings. And i cant do a factory reset because the phone has fast boot mode enabled, and i dont have usb debugging enabled. So im in a corner here. I was hoping disconnecting the battery would work like a hard reboot and kick off the fast boot but it did not work.

As ive said before, the phone is not in fastboot mode for programming. The fast boot im talking about is the mode on some phones that makes it boot up faster because it doesnt turn the phone completely off. Because of that i cannot reboot into my recovery or fastboot.

Holding power and volume up until you detect the reboot and then switching to holding only volume down overrides that. Make sure when doing this you are not plugged in.
