I know the phone is newer, but maybe someone can still help. I tried to root my new boost mobile lg volt 2 that i just activated on ringplus. I used this lg one click method and it said it worked correctly, but now it just sits on the boot screen with the lg logo and never gets past it.

I tried hard resetting via the stock recovery, but nothing changed. I searched and searched for firmware, but only found one supposed link in Chinese and the point/coin system to enable downloading is impossible to figure out.
What else can i do here, anyone have any thoughts? Is there really no legit lg site for firmware? I seriously appreciate the help!
No one has any thoughts on getting this phone back to stock?
Back to Stock
While we're at it, if we could get a stock rom for the Boost version as well, that would be just ducky.
Yeah I'm on the boost version as well. I'm kind of surprised that there isn't more support for this decent little cheap phone.

So I have an Optimus T 509 Titanium. I was informed there was an update so i downloaded it. I told it yes to update. Now it seems to be stuck. It displays the LG Logo Then displays the updating screen briefly before immediately Re-Booting.It does this continuously.
Does anyone know what might have happened or how to fix it. The phone is completely stock no mods, not rooted. Hard Reset does not work and emergency mode does. I tried KDZ updater but i get a model ID error when trying the Optimus 500. I spent most of the day looking for the proper one every time I tried one of these http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP509 Using the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479 i got an error.
Edit's: changed the title to be more specific. The update in question was the v10L update i do believe. Got another one. It seems that a antivirus program called look out cause the problem. It seems the program also prevents rooting the phone.
Looks like it's LG's fault. If I were you I'd have it warranty repaired.
On a side note, I think that's a boot loop. I'm no expert, so others may be able to help in a while.
Gonna have it replaced. But this seems like something that should be addressed, I see multiple accounts of OTA causing brick on this phone. Since I can't use the LG Update either(for some reason my isp blocks it same with M$ Live services).. so this is, aside from rooting the phone the only way to get updates for me. I mainly think my failure was because of lack of availability of stock firmware. It also seems theres no way to get stock back without a factory firmware either. I'm all for tweaking but not if i can't fix it if something goes wrong.
I probably just did something, that is supposed to be impossible. I bricked my LG L9...
I had 20f soft with root and tried to unlock bootloader using some method, that is about flashing KDZ files of V10 and V20 roms using offline mode of LG Support Tool.Well it looks like something is not right. After the whole process, the device rebooted aaaand stuck on the second LG logo, I thought it was fine, just need to hard reset but no. Now, when i try to hard reset i get the "dead android"with the red sign, and every rom i'm trying to flash using this offline support tool gets only to 50% and then says, that the device is no longer connected (?????). I tried to get back to stock rom using support tool recovery but same here. 50% and nothing more. Today, i've bought 910k cable, heard that may help but i'm not sure how to use it.
If anyone is able to help, i would be very grateful. And sorry for all spelling mistakes.

did you try fastboot method? that pretty much will get you unbricked
Ive got a brand new phone I wanted to get rid of the bloatware from my carrier. So I rooted it via kingroot, installed Titanium Backup and went to town. Then an OTA update came in and I accepted it, it seems that the phone battery died during the update installation.
Now I get a "no command" message with the android on its back. All the googling Ive done points me to do a hard factory reset via recovery, which I do but I still keep getting the same message.
Is there some software specifically for LGs that I could unbrick it with? I own several Nexus devices and a OnePlus and wugfresh toolkit has helped tons.
To add to the problem, I cant find much about it. Its a Mexican model called LG Zone or X180g. From the Googling ive done, Ive come to the conclusion that is called LG Ray in other markets.
I really appreciate your help

You can try to see if they have it. I don't think there is anywhere free to get the firmware. But yea, that was a big pair of screw ups between taking the OTA after rooting and having removed system apps as well as letting it die while trying to update. That's bad on any type of device. Since it is a MTK device, you'll have to use a version of the Flash Tool as it is different than most LGs, which use Snapdragon processors.
My Lg G5 (Tmobile) keeps on rebooting to recovery mode (TWRP) no matter what rom I flash. I tried using LG Up software but no matter how many times I install the driver phone is not recognized. Firstly I flashed Fulmics ROM then I installed LineageOS (Cyanogenmod) after that phone was working fine for a while till I saw an update and tried updating it to new nightly version. Please help me out if anyone knows how can I fix this issue.
You probably need to put the phone in download mode and then try LG up otherwise try pushing a rom that works through adb

I am sure this method would fix it but I already returned my phone and got new one as I had 1 year warranty. I bought it from T-mobile and I locked the bootloader before turning in the phone so it doesn't look like I was trying anything fishy. Now instead of phone going to twrp each time it goes to boolop saying "device is currupted and won't boot". It won't go to recovery mode no matter what I do and hope I don't get charged from T-mobile saying this and that.
However, I am really grateful to all of you great people who tried their best to help and you sir actually threw me a solution but I was too impatient to wait for it. I know this method will work no matter what as I had been using this tool for my G2 in old days and fixed the worse bricks where I had to openup the whole phone take battery out and stuffs like this. I was looking for this method found everything but LG tool asked me for .dll file which I couldn't find anywhere and decided to give up on it...
Thank you for your help and now I know I am not going to be bricked anymore as I have this method to work with in future issues and am her waiting badly for Xposed to be available for Nougat.

Good to hear that, You are welcome,
And as you mentioned about "device is corrupted and won't boot", that's because you locked bootloader. And as you were using twrp which means modified system partition so phone said that. But you can still go to download mode and use the method to make it live or can try unlocking bootloader to start twrp.
I experienced similar situation. I thought I had to send my phone for repair. As I was able to put the phone to download mode, I used uppercut with downloaded kdz file from LG G5 development thread and restored my phone. I didn't use my phone for four days thinking that I had to take to a phone shop or send to service center. But after careful reading of unbrick tutorials, I brought my phone back to life. Now I can play flashing anything as I am confident that I can easily unbrick my phone.

A few days ago I got my G5 H830 and came with version 6.0.1 h83010i, looking for information on how to install custom rom, I read the post to install the .TOT file to be able to install TWRP and through this the Custom Rom, until there is Everything okay, I did everything right, but then I decided to go back to the Rom stock, on the night of that same day I saw that when I reboot my cell phone it stuck on the LG logo and it had some color pixels damaged (but no screen Damaged, if not because of small brick) then force a restart and continued the same, I did factory reset by stock recovery and then normal start, I went to sleep leaving it in 100% battery, and when I wake up in the morning the cell phone It is off, when I turn it on 5% and I get scared, then I wanted to go back to custom rom to leave those problems behind, but then when I install the TOT again and install the custom ROM it will restart half installed and any rom that installed it would stay Stuck and the LG logo and a bootloop until when it was flash the kdz several times until the cell did not want to ignite more, the pc does not recognize it or anything, I need help with this.
I just bought this phone through eBay through a very highly recommended seller. It was marked as brand new and it would come with the packaging and headphones. It came some things in little Ziplocs like the battery and the actual phone and the backing piece was in an actual Factory bag just the unsealed straight bags that you open and dump out so I'm thinking this isn't a new phone that is pre owned and don't know what to do. I went to do the upgrade from lollipop to marshmallow and it said phone is suspected of being rooted and then closed. Every time I turn the phone on it says "unfortunately teleyphoney has stopped". And not telephone but then it disappears and it runs fine. Just wondering others thoughts on the situation. It was stuck on AT&T to go has stopped and it wouldn't let me dismiss it or press okay so I had to hit okay and quickly swipe down to get into settings and it went away. I paid $250 us for the phone and it is spotless not a nick or even micro scratches on it anywhere so I thought it was a great deal. What would you do? Id just like some other peoples insight into this. I usually use nova launcher prime on every phone. I haven't rooted of flashed a Rom in years. Are there good roms? Like I said it's mint condition but has some occasional hiccups here and there.
Hi
I take it that your phone is the AT&T H900 V10, if so the phone is bootloader locked and cannot be rooted by the usual means. I believe there is a Rom in existence that provides root and TWRP recovery. You need to search for an OP named "tungkick or kik " as he has made this. Sorry to be so negative but I have the same phone running stock.

Yes that's the model. I just dont know why someone would take a brand new lg v10 root it then sell it. Could it have possibly been stolen and the eBay seller rooted it so he could unlock it? I don't know a ton about this stuff but have rooted and flashed roms years back. I would like it stock. The fingerprint scanner doesn't work and that's all I found so far.

Hi
To get stock search for the latest AT&T stock rom, which is H90020w. When and if you have it you will need the programs LGUP and or LG Bridge plus the LG drivers for the V10 (Google them). When you have all, you then need to put the V10 into download mode by switching the phone off completely.( I found that if after it is off you remove the battery and replace it after a couple of minutes it helps ensure it is completely off.) Then plug your USB cable to your computer and while holding the volume up button on the phone insert the other end of the cable into the phone and you will be in download mode. You then run LGUP and at the bottom of the program you will see a blank entry with BIN at the left side and 3 dots on the right,
Click here and then go to where you have saved the Rom and click on it and it should show in the enrty pane beside BIN. Hit start and the Rom will install.
Hope this longwinded explanation is helpful.

Thank you very much! Is this a stock Rom or will it return it to factory stock? I don't know very much about this. I have Lg bridge installed. So I should google lgup and download that on pc also? And if I see the v10 in my Devices does that mean I have the drivers?

Nothing will work with bridge except back-up probably because it realizes it's rooted. So this process will not unroot my phone just give me a stock Rom? as my phone was only rooted when it arrived and I use nova launcher prime instead of factory launchers on all the phones I get. I have 5 days to return it but see a lot of people want their v10s rooted but can't unless you did it before updates. I know rooting was part of installing the roms yrs ago but that's all I remembered. I am just a little ticked as it was listed as brand new but when I get it it's rooted. Other than that and fingerprint not working it is brand new. Still has plastic on metal strips n all. The seller has a great eBay record and there were a bunch of these available but listed as New. I even called and asked if brand new and he said yes. So idk if I should take it on the chin and keep it or ship it back and go another few weeks w out phone in hopes of getting an unopened one.
@nednerbish
That is a strange one. I bought my H900 and an H901 both off Ebay and both came Sim unlocked but that was all. They are both brand new. I bought the H901 because it can be bootloader unlocked and i like to use other Roms. The H900 i bought because it wa stock only and it updated to the Rom i quoted previously OTA. Have you tried the "repair recovery option of LG Bridge. And what version of Rom is on the phone is it MM or Lollipop? Because that can make a difference.
Sent from my LG-H850 using Tapatalk
Here's a screenshot.
And when I turn phone on or restart it I get this every time. I don't get it.
Lollipop. If you go to XDA Developers. LG V10 General tab there is a very good guide explaining how to go back to stock. Also you could download the LG support tool it may assist.

I'll check it out. Thank you again.
Hi do you know which of these I need for a rooted h90010f? I have Lg bridge installed and I installed lgup ver 1_14_3.msi I think the malware "teleyphone" is embedded in the Rom they flashed. I can't tell in my files where the Rom they used is.
Hi
The first H90020j is the stock Lollipop (Android 5) Rom.
The second H90021w is the latest stock Marshmallow (Android 6) Rom
The last one is what is says it is a rooted Rom but I do not know what Version of Android it is. It could be the same as the Rom you have installed at the moment and using it will keep you where you are now. The second is pure stock and if installed via LGUP will get rid of your problem, hopefully, unless there is something else involved.
