So i attempted to downgrade by upgrading to the kdz file that was released for the verizon wireless lgv10, this started to preform the upgrade and completed, but now i cant access my phone, at all, nothing happens when i hold the power button, the computer can detect my phone and run the drivers on it, but I cant access adb, i cant get recovery, i cant get anything to happen, i don't know what to do, i might bring it into verizon but idk what they would do to it. Please help if you can.
Thanks,
Garry
Tell them you took the update for 6.0 and you don't know what happened. You'll have a new phone in several days.

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.
Hi all,
Im new to the forum and did some searching but cant find the info i need. I tried rooting my verizon note 2 to casuals one click and didnt realize i had updated to android 4.3 prior. So it tried to root 4.1.2. Now my phone has the yellow triangle and says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." I tried kies and kies 3 and neither one recognizes my phone.The only way to shut the phone off is to pull the battery.When i reinstall the battery i have a brief window to volume down+home+power and it takes me to odin. I saw this problem in the forums for roms but couldnt find anything on rooting.Please tell me i can fix this and go back to stock, and i didnt lock my phone up for good.I know im an idiot and i didnt back up anything. Ive learned my lesson and will do more research before attempting this again.I also realized there is no root for 4.3 yet. My phone was stock before i tried all this. Its the verizon sch-1605.Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Couple of things:
- if you've received the 4.3 update, your bootloader is locked and (currently) un-touchable. Don't try to flash, well, anything.
- if you've received the 4.3 update, you've also received Samsung's odius KNOX technology. If you do try to flash anything most things (especially recoveries), you'll trip the KNOX counter and invalidate your warranty (I believe it also means you can't use your phone in enterprise setups that use KNOX)
The good news is that you can restore your phone to working order! You'll need to install the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant. XDA member scoobysnack posted a link to download the software, though you can also get it from any functioning Verizon Samsung smartphone that's plugged into a computer.
After you've installed the software, turn your phone on and plug it into the computer. Run the software and select the tab on the left column titled 'Repair'. Click on the repair button near the right side and sit back & wait. The software will download the 4.3 OTA and install it. Like ODIN, it is imperative that you not unplug your phone during this process.
If you have trouble getting the software to recognize your phone, it may help to put it into download mode. I had to go through this myself (I foolishly forgot about the bootloader issue and tried to flash a recovery. Sigh).
You can achieve root for 4.3, but there are some serious concerns about Kingo, the software the provides root. XDA doesn't allow links to them due to unanswered questions about privacy concerns due to unusual traffic capture going between the software and (apparently) servers in China
thanks so much. ill try it in the morning when i get off work.
Also when i was in odin and plugged my phone in, the software on the pc didnt recognize my phone either. Is that something i should worry about. I guess the box was supposed to turn green but never did.Many thanks
ok so i got home today and tried downloading verizon software update from the link you gave and it wont open the program. Ive tried on 2 different computers. so i called verizon tech to see if they have it cause i can only find it on the website described eariler, and they said they dont have it. Its only in your phone. Well i cant access my phone to get it and im stumped. They said to go into a verizon store and they should be able to fix it. What are my options? I dont have any data on the phone i need to save so can i just go back to a previous version or wipe it out? Or do i have to do a custom rom? Thanks in advance.

When you go into ODIN mode (turn off your phone, power on using POWER+HOME+VOL-DOWN), do you a line that reads 'KNOX WARRANTY VOID'? It would be in the upper left corner under 'SYSTEM STATUS'.
I ask because if you don't have that line, you didn't upgrade to 4.3 and your bootloader is NOT locked. You should be able to flash to 4.1.2 from ODIN and go from there (CASUAL to unlock & root, et cetera).
If you do have that line, then your only option is the VZW Software assistant. I'm uploading it now and I'll send you a link via PM. Please keep in mind that if you use the VZW Software assistant, whether your bootloader is currently locked or not, it most definitely will be locked after using it. If you're already locked, no harm done, but I'd make sure first.
I'm pretty much ****ed with my phone.
First thing is, i can't update my phone, within the option menu, automatic update or manual one with dload folder doesnt work, The software upgrade mode never shows up, i have instead a very nice bootloop, i have to play with the VOL+ VOL- and POWER button untill i can finnaly boot.
Because of that, i'm stuck with Emui B130.
Wouldnt be that bad, if only my phone worked. But i can't take phone calls, nor send texts (or rarely can, almost only at my home, and if i'm lucky) When i travel i instantly doesnt have network anymore at all.
The phone detects my Sim Card, and i have some network, but i almost can't use it at all.
I tried to patch via fastboot the B100, B121 and B130 versions. All 3 have the update issue (S/W never shows up) and the network one PLUS the B121 version doesnt even allow me to insert my pin code.
So at this point i have a phone stucked in B130, which cant be updated, and i can't use it.
I tried to patch stock recovery, remove root, reinstall root, change the versions, i still can't access the S/W mode meaning i can't update the phone at all.
I just don't know what to do anymore, i've tried everything. I'm stucked.
Thanks in advance for eventual help.
Are you trying to update with root? You need to unroot first before you update. I haven't experimented with my phone yet but on my previous Huawei I always had to unroot before updating via dload/OTA
I tried both root and unroot, this doesn't change anything. :/
What happens when you press VOL+ VOL- and POWER on an honor 7?
Culdnt this be an Imei issue ?
Gosh This is so stupid, nothing works fine.
Now my phone just bootloops. I tried to flash with fastboot system.img and boot.img from B130, B100 and B121, and i can't make my phone to work, it just bootloops.
I thought i found the issue, i tried to flash the modem.img from my firmware, but couldnt manage to do it, and now i can't even make my phone to work. I'm so tired already of this phone. Everything was so simple with the Note 3.
Edit: And now i can't even try to flash some stock roms as i have a " Cannot load 'System.img' message.
I've done this more than 20 times and now for absolutely no reason, i have this.
I'm about to give up this phone. This is just madness. I just don't know what to do anymore.
I'd realy appreciate help of any kind.
I recently purchased two new VS988 for an elderly friend of mine who loves his current G6 and was worried about LG getting out of the phone business. Trying to get the phones all set up for him I tried running the OTA updates which kept failing. After the OTA update process failed a dozen times or more I decided to try using the Windows VZW update utility. Finally, after a dozen tries the VZW utility finally managed to DL the FW to my computer but when it tried to install the FW it booted the phone into FW Update Mode and then failed to install. I have tried all of the listed methods of button presses to reboot the phone into any other mode but it always comes back to FW update mode. This morning I learned about the LGUP program and have given that a try and it stops at 4% with an error message that says "Error: 0x700A, ManipulateBootPT Failed"
I'm not sure what else to try. I'm using the cable that came in the box and a USB port on the back of my computer.
Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated.
Maybe turn of recovery mode
How am I supposed to do that? No matter what buttons I try pressing when rebooting the phone it always comes back into FW Update Mode. I tried running the recovery process and the Verizon updater program and that had the same problem.

I don't recommend advice from that guy
The problem your having is stuck in download mode.
As long as you're not connected to a PC via USB and actively transferring a firmware file, you should be able to force shutdown by removing the battery and placing it back in (if possible) or pressing and holding Power for about 20 seconds. Then power on again normally.

Hey, did my information help?
Unfortunately nothing has worked I just ended up with two bricked phones. Thankfully they were just supposed to be back up phones for somebody that is unlikely to need them and can afford buying another replacement if something ever actually does happen to his primary. He has a lot of accessibility issues in a really prefers having the the buttons on the back of the phone so he doesn't keep turning it off accidentally.

If your android was stuck in recovery mode (as i know it), you could of just factory reset right?
forgive me it's been a couple of months since I bothered messing around with them but I believe it's not a generic recovery mode you know where you've got those four text options at the top you know and the Android with the exclamation point coming out of its chest but instead it's a firmware update mode. No amount of software tools or button key presses and we'll get the phones to do anything else. Both phones are dead right now cuz I just wanted to confirm what I was telling you whatever they managed to charge up later I will make sure what I'm saying is correct and I will let you know otherwise
If this is the screen you see, then i regret to inform you that your phone might have been bricked the entire time and you couldn't save it (unless you get new firmware for you device and install it). Trust me i had this experience before.
This is what I get. I try running the the Verizon LG update utility on the computer and after it reaches 11% or something like that it fails

Welp, my last geuss at this is that the previous owner got something like a virus to prevent the firmware update to continue. i've only worked with lg phones a few times, but those phones where very old (2008) and did not run android
Thanks for trying. I've given up and my friend didn't even get upset about it. Whatever went wrong happened when I tried to manually update them because the OTA kept failing. If he buys any more backups in the future I'll find him something a little more recent.
