Hello. Would anyone happen to have the LG Mobile Updater software? I used to have it on one of my old laptops, but it no longer powers on I have also searched online for it and any mention of it I came across only had dead links unfortunately.
I need to use it for my LG Ally, which is stuck on the "Downloading... Do not unplug!" screen as soon I turn the phone on. I would like to pretty much do to the LG Ally what I have done recently with my HTC Sensation (which I unlocked the bootloader, s-off, flashed recovery, and permanent rooted, then installed a custom rom)
I do have the drivers for the Ally along with an image of the stock recovery, which I had made backups of back in 2011 , but never got around to backing up the LG Mobile Updater software. :crying: If anyone needs the drivers or stock recovery let me know.

Hello everyone,
I've searched everywhere I can think of to figure out how to solve my problem, and I assume the answer is hiding in an obscure part of an earlier thread on these fora. I was able to root my L9 P760 running Android 4.1(Jelly Bean) and from there naively assumed I could flash the recovery using ClockworkMod. After rebooting I've been getting the infamous "Security Error" screen. I've been able to get the "S/W Upgrade" screen, but that's as far as I got. I believe this means the bootloader is locked.
I followed a lot of instructions I found including using fastboot via omap4boot(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090) and the offline kdz flash(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344), but without luck. Fastboot would cause the phone to reboot, losing the "S/W Upgrade" screen and the kdz method would stall at 4%, leading me to find out that the phone needs to be in the "LG Update" USB mode, which I can't achieve because it won't boot.
I have two Macs running OS X 10.7 which can dual-boot into Windows 7. All software is up to date. I have experience using the command-line.
I hope there's a solution to this, and I hope that posting this here can help others avoid this problem in future.
Thanks in advance,
Pieter
Edit: I finally managed to flash a stock version of recovery, the x-loader and u-boot for Jelly Bean using the fastboot script from here. For those in a similar situation, I set the driver for the OMAP4xxx device which goes under TI devices(or something like that) and then I had to set the driver for a device called LG P4(or something, I didn't take a screenshot). I was then able to use the stock LG Mobile Support Tool, via the "Recovery Phone" option, to restore the newest version. However, it still won't boot properly. I get the LG logo when turning it on, and then the animation with the LG logo with the shiny effect on the smiley face keeps running in a loop. Is this the boot loop problem I've seen people asking about? How do I access recovery(and would that accomplish anything)? Any help would be appreciated.
Edit 2: I think I fixed it! I'm just documenting what I did to be helpful to other people. I had tried to do a hard reset earlier, but it didn't work. I tried it just now, and it worked, I got an droid with a progress bar underneath. Then it booted, and I heard the startup sound which I didn't know I was missing. I would still like to know in detail what I did wrong, and what I did right, and why it was right. Thanks in advance.
Simple, you probably did nothing wrong. Things just happen. I had this happen to me once. Security Error
However, I didn't install a custom rom or recovery img. All I did was flash a different kdz version (for my device). So my guess is that the boot img or other img, got corrupted.
I fixed my issue by flashing x, u, boot, recovery all in fastboot. Then I ran the flash update program again and it worked

How do you brick your phone. Did you try to hard reset it? Did you try offline flash or LG mobile support tool to recover your phone?
Hello, I recently rooted my android phone, but it is not the first time. Due to my last incident with my rooted samsung galaxy S2, I was tweaking certain roms and it ended up getting bricked. I found out about a program called ODIN that can unbrick my phone, but I failed at that and ended up installing a different firmware lol, yet it was still stuck at the start up boot loop animation [IDIOT MOVE] and this time the computer could not detect my phone anymore, trust me I tried hundreds of methods from different computers to different usb ports and different versions of odin and gave up.
However I have a new phone and plan with verizon and ended up rooting the phone again. I did not tweak any roms or uninstalled pre-installed default apps YET. But this time I want to be prepared again if I ever come across my phone being bricked. I am being cautious. How can I have a stable backup of my phone, so if it ever gets bricked I can use odin to unbrick it. Do I have to use titanium backup for this approach or something else.
In case someone asks, it is called Verizon LG Lucid, Model Number VS870 4G, it is 4GLite version 4.1.2. Software verson: VS87011A.
Install a custom recovery such as clock work mod it has the best backup and can bring your phone back from a soft brick :thumbup:
Hit thanks if I helped

Hello there,
I'm using a rooted LG Optimus 4X HD - P880 with the stock firmware. Or should I say I was using :crying:
Well everything started when I decided to flash some good looking roms into my rooted LG, I needed to unlock my bootloader so I did. ( I was using Os V20D_00 as I remembered but definitely a version newer than V20A_00) Everything was fine my phone got restarted and obviously then the Setup Wizard started.
That's ok till now. But after that, whenever I try to setup my phone, cause there's no way LG would let me access settings or any possible menu without setting it up, and "Unfortunately, LG Setup Wizard crushes " everytime I tried.
I should say that I have had uninstalled lg's base home launcher before (but replacing it with another app), and couple of google apps like hangouts and google plus. I never touched to G play or anything but I guess home launcher might be a/the problem, only guessing though and even if so I don't have the solution that's why I'm here :laugh:
I tried hard reset
I tried to reinstall stock firmware from using kdz V20A_00 and V10F_00 both
I tried to redo all rooting and unlocking bootloader processes. Yeah they work but the problem is I'm not able to flash any custom roms or gapps also cause my PC sees my phone only when it's on S/W Upgrade mode.. That to with no access to internal memory somehow, I can see its connected to LG Mobile Support Tool though.
So I'm pretty troubled right now. I wasn't using any recovery also.. (yeah, very noob thing to do, as I am kinda noob)
Device is on warranty but since I bugged my bootloader and all, I can forget about it if it needs to go and get fixed I guess..
So I would like to know if there is any solution that any of you knowledgeable gentlemans and ladies out there know..
I would be really glad if anyone can help me out.. :fingers-crossed:
Thank you.
yesterday my sprint lg g3 got a purple screen and shut down . I bought the phone used so i dont know if it was rooted but i dont believe so. i decided to flash stock rom to see if it would help but the phone shuts down at about 12% i have tried multiple times and it never makes it all the way . i reinstalled all files and apps with no luck. please let me know if you have any ideas. also now the phone only boots into software update screen
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.
