Can you access the recovery or the system?
I didn't understand from your post.

I can only open fastboot mode but can't detected by PC and second I open emergency mode.
When I don't do any thing phone boots normally as shown in PC detected all modem and other due i installed all drivers properly but reality is phone sticks at Build : RA - THUNDERG -3.0.6-GNM

So I cannot do access any of above

If you want to know whole process before the brick I can tell you

It will be great, however I'll answer tomorrow.
Haven't been getting much sleep this week, and it's past midnight here, I may fall asleep standing at any moment now.
But you can post the whole process right now if you wish, perhaps someone else will be able to help you by then.

Process before p500 brick!
My p500 was running on stock ginger bread v20d version. As we all know it has ugly android animation so i added boot animation zip file and added a file from cm10.1's media folder to run boot animation .Recovery was Amon Ra thunder G.
I was trying to update busybox through just their free apk (available on play store) . so I was installing it I select advance option and also choose non recommend applets . I found after finishing installation my phone was take more time to wake from screen off . I understand that I made a great done .because nothing like this was happened before in stock ROM . I tried to reboot it but stuck at my own added custom animation . as usual I try to go to recovery and delete this animation file . but now I stuck recovery start up text BUILD :RA THUNDER GNM.

God of android come here to help me please
I do not have 250 Rupees to pay them .?

Why can't you use kdz?
I think that you may be able to use it with the bootloader.
Edit: I found out what you need to do.
First, you need to boot to emergency mode.
Instructions are here, it's the same for the Optimus One, so no need to worry.
http://www.ehow.com/how_12314778_boot-emergency-mode-optimus-t.html
Update: Here are more complete instructions.
Make sure you have installed the LG drivers, and you have the kdz file (full image, not just modem).
How to Flashing LG Optimus One back to Original Firmware
Turn off your cellphone
Press and hold Volume[+] + Power + Back buttons, until your Optimus boot in emergency mode
Connect LG Optimus One to PC (via USB)
tips: maybe it`s a little strange to do, but you can try to shake the phone if it can`t detect.
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
Select Type : 3GQCT
Select PhoneMode : DIAG
tips: if this option failed try EMERGENCY or CS_EMERGENCY
At KDZ Files section, select firmware that you already download
Click launch software update button
tips: someone say that it`s good idea to shake your optimus one with gently to avoid stuck.
Wait until it`s done, unplug the usb cable
Press and hold Volume[-] + HOME + Power buttons
See the firmware version, congratulation you did it.
If you don't have the files, I'll post links for you to download them.

Yes, I did so half a year ago, to update my LG Optimus P500H.
Unfortunately there was no update in Israel, and it's firmware was at one of our cellular providers (Pelephone), so I had to use this method to flash a different country's unlocked firmware (some european firmware, I forget which) with the same bands support in the modem, before flashing CM7.1 and TWRP.
It's just been a long time, that's why I didn't remember how to do it.

It should work with with all P500's, restrictions or no restrictions, it doesn't matter.

Try reflashing the rom again and use it for some time without trying to unlock the bootloader. First be sure the rom is flashed perfectly and working fine. If everything works ok, you can go ahead with other experiments (of course at your own risk.) By the way, someone was saying Telcel might have not added the bootloader unlock feature in this rom. Just a possibility.
EDIT: The symptom you have mentioned "phone keeps connecting and disconnecting" known behavior (see post 7th point), while installing fastbook mode drivers. Seem your phone has come in fastboot mode (but still locked) and no fastboot drivers yet installed. Installing it is really very tricky. Follow that post carefully.

Which rom you had before? Was it rooted and cwm on? Can you start phone in CWM mode (VolumeUp+Home+Power keys)? If yes, you can flash your cwm backup and be back on your previous rom.
I hope both of you people took nandroid backup (on external sdcard) before flashing.

But can you bring phone in SW upgrade Mode?
I think part of the problem was following the omap4boot. It flashes files to the phone which are not for our phone. I have done the same thing.
When I use the "Phone Tester" app from Play Store, under system info, it says the device is a "U2". This is wrong.
Screenshot here
I dont have any access to fastboot mode anymore as far as i can tell. I cant install clockworkmod on my phone now. Im trying to understand what changed by following the omap4boot guide.

Have patience and do not panic. This phone is really unbrickable, if not physically damaged.
I am not sure what is the status of your phone right now. But keep the fastboot thing aside and give priority to restore phone and make it properly working.
Remove all LG programs from pc, remove all LG drivers from pc and Restart PC. Now install latest LG PC Suite, and put phone in SW Upgrade mode and connect to pc and let all LG drivers install itself.
Do not let windows install any WDM drivers by clicking on this link while drivers are loaded. Do this always for any phone any device you connect to pc. Correct drivers already installed with PC Suite will load quickly.
Now run PC Suite and select Emergency Firmware Recovery option. Now LG PC suite should download fresh ROM and recover your phone.
================
If this fails, keeping phone in SW Upgrade mode, you can still try same with B2CAppClient as shown in 5A part of this thread. Click on "Start Updating"
================
Above both are online method and will need faster internet so rom is downloaded.
In the fastboot thread it clearly says to say no to the prompt that asks you if you want to flash u-boot. If you replaced your u-boot you need to get an original copy of the u-boot for your phone. I think Lelus has a post somewhere, but I don't know if its for your phone specifically. Search for Lelus x&u.
P.S. I've done same thing before and you should definitely be able to enter fastboot and get it sorted out again.
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------
I can't seem to find the u-boot x-loader fix Lelus uploaded for someone. You have to look or maybe PM him.

Great. Glad I could help. :highfive:
See, I told you "Have patience and do not panic. This phone is really unbrickable, if not physically damaged. "
I always talk with screenshots Ok, which method it worked? PC Suite or B2C? Which rom it flashed V20A?
You can easily root any locked bootloader JB with Lelus method, if you are familiar to flashing with offline fix. Will be safer+quicker to newbies.

Try to recovery your phone by LG mobile support tool
1. Download LG mobile support tools from LG web site. http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-P769
2. Boot your phone to SW upload mode
3. Start LG mobile support tool.
4. Connect your phone with usb cable. LG mobile support should detect your phone model. If not please reinstall LG usb drivers.
5. In LG mobile support tools, select "Customer support" > "Recover phone"
4. New dialog popup ask for IMEI or S/N. Your IMEI should already fill in textbox just click first button.
5. Wait for LG flash program to load kdz from their server and flash your phone. It should work.
Just put on the Chinese android!!!
All that did was put on the chinese android i need a way to flash it

Then try the method from the link I gave. When u use offline method you 'force' LG mobile support tool to flash kdz file of your choice - it is enough that LG MST sees any phone it can flash - it cannot check online (through IMEI I suppose) phone details.
So first download the stock .kdz of your choice,
In case of program I used and linked, you
- change two files in LG MST on your computer,
- open R&D Test tool
- select kdz file you downloaded
- press 'normal web upgrade test' button, leaving the rest as default
- wait for LG MST which opens and starts the flashing with kdz file you choosed before
Thus it is no point to let LG MST to check your phone in that method.
Before I tried it, the phone, with 'security error' message was not recognized by the PC or LG MST, even in s/w mode.

SOFT BRICKED - Help! Need .dll file for LG G2 Mini D618

Hi, first of all i think my issues had already been solved
but for other LG smartphones, not D618.
My problem occurred when I playing around with hidden menu, and I hit reset button on the FOTA menu,
and then my phone restart and stuck in a screen that I never seen before, the screen show three line of text:
● FOTAFS_Open/cache/fota/log/FSUA_LOG_000.txt, 0, No such file
● FOTAFS_Create/cache/fota/log/FSUA_LOG_000.txt, 66, No such file
● FOTAFS_Close 0
So I googled about that and I found on a Vietnamese forum that it can be fix using LG FlashTool. But the problem is the tool need a correct .dll file for each device and I can't find anywhere the exact .dll file for LG G2 Mini D618. So if anyone could provide me the file I will be very thankful coz my phone been dead for 1 day.
I already tried flashing the kdz file, but no luck.
I tried to sideload stock recovery via adb but adb didn't detect my device.
Please help me solving this
Can you turn the power on your d618 for now? and what the displayed of the screen?

Hi, first of all i think my issues had already been solved
but for other LG smartphones, not D618.
My problem occurred when I playing around with hidden menu, and I hit reset button on the FOTA menu,
and then my phone restart and stuck in a screen that I never seen before, the screen show three line of text:
● FOTAFS_Open/cache/fota/log/FSUA_LOG_000.txt, 0, No such file
● FOTAFS_Create/cache/fota/log/FSUA_LOG_000.txt, 66, No such file
● FOTAFS_Close 0
So I googled about that and I found on a Vietnamese forum that it can be fix using LG FlashTool. But the problem is the tool need a correct .dll file for each device and I can't find anywhere the exact .dll file for LG G2 Mini D618. So if anyone could provide me the file I will be very thankful coz my phone been dead for 1 day.
I already tried flashing the kdz file, but no luck.
I tried to sideload stock recovery via adb but adb didn't detect my device.
Please help me solving this

No, I'm still using stock recovery, the phone is rooted.
Yes I can get in to the download mode, I already tried flashing kdz and usually if the bootloop is on the lg logo, it can turn back on normal, but now it keep booting on that screen.

HI I already tried this, but when the LG software trying to download the firmware, it always quit around 50% and when I tried again about 3 times it always quit. Can I do "Upgrade recovery" in offline?

i got same error too at the first flash. i think the firmware is corrupted. retry to download the firmware,i hope you can successfully flashing the firmware
Now my phone turn back on to normal, I finally took it to the LG service center, and they replaced my motherboard.
So if any of you guys experienced the same, I'm telling you there's no software solution to fix this, it seems because I rooted the phone and somehow it lock the motherboard when it trying to perfomed a FOTA update.

If you lock the bootloader if you have custom recovery (twrp) and superuser you will not be able to boot

Not sure about TMI, use TMO North America
I figured I'd post this here to, because I am thinking about getting this phone. It's $99 at metro pcs right now, that's really hard to pass up.
In a twrp+root thread there are some that cannot get root, with the last LG firmware update, so I'm guessing this is a soft brick as apposed to a hard brick.
So, had a question.
If in the case of the like 10% of the people that do this root, the phone won't root or bricks, if I get this phone and and that happens, is it possible to flash the phone via the LG program, with a KDZ file and go back to stock like in this thread? If so I will probably buy this phone tomorrow (crosses fingers the kdz trick will work)
From looking at the videos, it looks as if the LG program is similar to the Samsung Odin program as far as flashing goes, am I correct in this?

I know this thread has not been active for a while. However I have a Metro LG K20 Plus phone and want to change the firmware to T-Mobile. I have not been successful doing this as I always get invalid firmware, because LG UP recognizes the phone as a metro phone. Is there a way to succeed in getting the T-Mobile firmware on the phone?
thanks in advance.

Did you find any answers to this? I have one that is bricked. It will not show up when connected to a computer at all
Virus warning from Avira in Uppercut
lg k20 plus soft bricked?
So I've searched high and low and have tried suggestion after suggestion with no avail. To start things off, I have a soft bricked LG k20 plus. Everything was working fine until the other day when I went to flash a kernel, and when the phone restarted, the screen was a dark grey/black color. I rooted the devices using massis method, removed SU and then rooted using Magisk. Like I said everything was working fine and for whatever reason I decided to try a different kernel. That's when it all went downhill. So now when I turn the phone on, the screen is still blank but it vibrates. When I've connected it to a computer, on my Mac it doesn't show up with ADB or FASTBOOT but in my device tree it comes up as LGE Android device. I borrowed my friends laptop since it runs windows, and my Mac is a dinosaur. ADB doesn't pick it up either, but in a USB hub it says the same thing, LGE Android device and lower down it comes up as TP-LINK. Now tryin to use LG Flash tools doesn't work, LGUP doesn't see my device, and when I tried to extract the KZD file, when I go to select it from the list there is no file to choose. Since I can't see anything on my screen, I can't tell if I'm in download mode, bootloader, etc, but in my device tree sometimes my phone will pop up an bootloader interface and I can use fastboot commands. When I was last able to see my screen, yes, USB debugging was on, I had a recovery, but since I can't see anything on my screen I can't seem to boot into recovery. If I could I would wipe cache and all. I think I may have read too many article and suggestions as to what to do because nothing seems to be working, and don't seem to find anything else related closely enough to my issue. Anyone have a clue as to where I should start? I'll have to give my friend back her laptop soon, and since my mac is so old, and the whole PC vs Mac feud, my computer won't be of much help. Any advice my hair strands would greatly appreciate before they rest are pulled out lol
