Hello there. My device is LG Optimus Chic E720, and a couple of days ago, I installed ROM Manager and downloaded a random ROM. After the download was complete, a window came out and I clicked on "Backup current ROM". After that the phone restarted and entered in fastboot mode with a black screen and an inscription saying: "Fastboot mode started udc_start()".
I looked around the internet how to remove that and i found this tutorial: http://androidforums.com/optimus-m-all-things-root/382525-guide-get-out-fastboot-mode.html and i did it step by step and it worked. The phone got out of the fastboot mode and rebooted itself. But after that the LG logo came out for 2-3 secs and the phone rebooted again and again. I plugged in the data cable so that the phone wouldn't turn off and pressed vol up+vol down+power button and it entered in emergency mode. I couldn't do anything. I looked around the internet again and i saw this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060121 and decided to try it. I did everything it says, except that in the "phone mode" menu, i chose "emergency", because my phone was in that mode. So I started the software update and everything was going OK until it stopped updating (or at least i thought so). It just stopped, the phone went off and that's it. Now it doesn't want to turn on. It's practically dead.
I am asking you guys, is there any chance of me bringing it back to life and how ?
UP
come on guys..
I got the same problem with the same phone lg e720, and there is not solution at all! Unless somebody reply with a solution (impossible) This a a real bricked phone case, sorry to say that

glad to help
Yesterday I rooted my LG Optimus L9 using LGpwn tool, after that it worked just fine.
This morning I tried to install ClockworkMod Recovery. Using this post. It explains how to download and install CWM Recovery from app that you downloaded in form of APK.
This method did not work 100%, but I was able to reboot normally, so in post it said that sometimes it does not work and you need to download and use Busybox installer Link to busyboxx.
After this I managed to boot in too CWM using app from mentioned thread.
Then problem occurred. After I saw CWM was working I selected reboot device option.
Except now when it started to boot it stops right after Second LG logo (First is static one second one is animated).
I get white screen with "Encrypting" on top and gray line. And one Reset Phone button. IMG they are Dropbox links.
This is followed with Error : Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped. IMG
I am able to boot in too CWM and I have tried flashing something like Cyanogenmod but I get error Status 7. Tried removing line that checks model, no use.
Tried clearing every cache and fixing permissions, nothing. Formatted everything still no use.
Dear XDA community That you in advance.
I fixed my phone by going into SW upgrade mode, and using the Upgrade Recovery function of the LG Software Update tool or whatever. Be sure you don't have any http servers open
Sent from my LG-P769 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I got the same problem, but when I try to access to SW mode and connect to LG Software Update tool to restore my phone, the phone keep disconnect and the phone screen will turn off, so I fail to restore my phone, I have already re-install the USB driver and changed a several USB cable but the problem still, but I tried to restore my phone with SW upgrade method since last night and is was OK, can anyone help me?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Problem Solve Finally, the solution is I plug the battery back to the phone after access to LGMobile Support Tool, and after finish the restore process, the phone will restart but keep boot loop, then I perform the hard reset (Remove the Battery and insert it after few seconds. And now do the 3 button HARD RESET. First press VOLUMEDOWN and HOMEbutton. Then Press Power button only for 3 seconds and release power button but dont release VolDown and Home button and KEEP BOTH PRESSING until you see a Bigger Green Standing Android and circulating Molecular structure above it. DONE! ), then the phone begin work~~~

help lg p768 encrypting error problem
can someone help me please.
i have the same problem from the starter of this thread..
installed recovery apk and goes to encrypting error.
i dont know what to do and how to begin to solve my phone problem.
thanks
I am pretty new to this rooted community and i unfortunately felt a too confident with everyone saying it is really easy. I did a one click root on my lg g3 vs985 (35B version) and was successful. The next step was to install twrp and i attempted so with flashify and the latest twrp IMG. The recovery boot never worked and always did a normal boot. I resorted to this one tutorial which said to use an app called autorec. This where it went wrong. The reboot made my screen blank and none of the buttons did anything. I plugged it in and my laptop still recognized the phone. I pulled the battery and plugged in and the screen turned on (thankfully) and shows a missing battery screen. With the battery in i tried turning it on with the power and volume down button on and it vibrated. Now randomly vibrates. Please help i don't know what to do!
This forum is extremely unhelpful, but i managed to get it back to stock. I was missing some drivers and not being careful, i almost ended up with a brick.
What did you do to fix the issue? My phone is doing nearly the same thing though it was after installing JasmineROM that it occurred. The screen is blank unless I pull the battery and plug it in to see the missing battery icon.

1. Pull the battery and put it back in
2. Press and hold the volume up button and plug it in to a PC
3. Keep holding down the volume up until you see a screen which says download mode
4. Install a program called LG Flash Tool 2014 (Extract and put it into a directory you want)
5. Download the KDZ of the stock software you want (forum around here but I don't remember where)
6. Put the KDZ file into the LG Flash Tool folder
7. Enter CDMA and the KDZ file
8. Click normal flash which will bring you to a screen.
9. There will be menu with alot of blank things, don't worry just click start
10. It will being you to a LG mobile support screen.
11. Wait till the meter completes
12. If it there's an error at the end saying connection failed do not worry the bar on your phone should begin moving
13. Your phone will then boot into stock and you can do what you want from there.
Hello,
I have recently made a horrible mistake, I flashed the incorrect ROM on my Xperia Z3v leaving the phone bricked. I am asking for your help. I have tried using the Flashtool but I am not certain if it's the phone or I that is causing a mistake. The steps thus far that I have followed.
Downloaded: Flashtool & Drivers
Installed: Drivers for Xperia Z3v
Downloaded: Firmware from XperiFirm
Now, the issue next is nothing shows up in my firmware when I attempt to flash. I have checked the source folder the .ftf files are there.
Furthermore:
When I hold VOL UP and plug in the USB>Blue led is indicated
When I hold VOL DOWN and plug in USB>Red flashes with a second of green whilst vibrating
Found this video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtaUxuorVSA
Exactly like this, checked for a solution seems like he repaired it via sony. Unfortunately for me I don't have that luxury.
**Update**
I installed the lastest release of flashtool (0.9.22.2) but it occurred to me to revert back to the previous release (0.9.18.6)
Now I can finally see the firmware but I am still having issues actually flashing the file. I get errors such as:
ERROR - root : this bundle is not valid
ERROR - Cannot delete C:\Users\Juan\.flashTool\firmwares\prepared\userdata.sin
**More Information**
I should include I am on a locked bootloader
same
that seem the same with my situation
Okay the green light is flash mode / upgrade mode. The blue light is fast boot. You want it on with the green light on to flash it once it's bricked. You can't flash it using fast boot mode because the boot loader isn't unlocked.
Now what you have to do is get it with the green light on and then the drivers installed.
Can't delete the file means that it had error while trying to flash and all that you have to do is restart the app and that goes away.
Now for the next problem is that I had this one and what I did to fix it is that I had to reinstall the drivers because those weren't correct and I did reinstalled it and it all worked good. Thanks.
Download the correct firmware for your phone (model and Country).
Use flashtool to install it on your phone
Works with a locked bootloader, no need for USB debugging.
The first error might be you ended up downloading the incorrect or incomplete firmware
I had the exact problem that you are having. I ended re downloading the flashtool a few times from various computers and then i got it to work. I figured when i downloaded it the first time i had a version that was to old/new. Or a bad connectiin when i downloaded it first time. After i downloaded flashtool again itthwn worked without issue just as it should. Whatever the provlem was for me was having to do with the download or version i downloaded wouldnt work completely. I think my internet connection when i downloaded it wasnt very good and maybe didnt download it right.
I made the same mistake too, trying to flash a z3 zip file. Then I got to run around my home city to find help. Then there's a guy. He had to open the back cover and connect directly to the circuit board in order to do something about the eMMC and SEtool or... something, I'm not sure. The phone is alive again! (costed quite a lot for a student, but... yay?). Funny though, he said the circuit board is similar to a z2 and not a z3. Maybe you could find someone who knows about these kinds of thing. Hope that help.

That's strange were you on a locked bootloader?
Currently attempting to fix it once more, will update if I find anything out.

Yeah, I think? I mean, it's right out of the box. Also, I think it's worth mentioning that the guy had to use SEtool twice to get mobile signal.
Did you fix the problem? I have the same problem now.
With a Z3v. D6708. I have a problem, got a wrong ROM, the flashee and now not start the phone in any way. The only way to start is "System Recovery" volume + power, which has 4 options: 1. "Continue Power UP", 2. "Safe mode", 3. "Factory Reset" and 4. "Power Down". The thing is try from flashtool but when I give "volume down" and connect the computer does not recognize. When light it even reaches the boot animation. When I give power with USB cable is connected in a loop is vibrating and shows red, blue and green.
I have exactly the same problem of the youtube video.
As it could fix the problem?
Some help ?
Thank you !
Pd. The device only have FastBoot.
did u solve this?

got solved? me to have same problem
Bricked for days!
Is anyone still following this thread. I have the same problem after trying to install MIUI 6 on my rooted unlocked TWRP'd Xperia z3V. After the MIUI installation I have nothing but the symptoms below.
Not able to get into flashmode
No screen or bootup
No recovery
Symptoms:
1 -When plugged into PC or wall it only blinks RED/GREEN light and vibrates.
2 -Holding POWER the light turns and stays GREEN until released (then returns to #1)
3 -Holding POWER + VOLUME UP BLUE light stays on and puts phone in Fastboot mode
4 -Holding POWER + VOLUME DOWN does nothing (continues to do #1)
Please Help!!!
Google Sony Developers. Try to unlock your bootloader.
Sent from my D6708 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I think the phone will reject the command. Tried on a bricked z3v and that's the response I get from fastboot with the Sony commands given through the developer aite.

The phone is not and most likely never will be bootloader unlocked. Planning to buy for another phone is your only option.
I've already moved to a tmo note 4. Not much development there either, but it's nice. Miss the z seires though and may come back to it next year. We'll see how they fair with phones for the next few months state side abs if prices even out on the x or z5.
I fixed mine
I bricked my phone it was just a paper weight Email Me I will make u a video step by step instructions to fix it

Unless you're going to post a link or YouTube video we all have access to, wouldn't bother asking people for direct email addresses to send them. That's the reason for PM'S and the forum on general. If you have a fix, we'd all like to know what it is you were able to do that none of us have figured out.

Hello, new user of the forum here, I've had this chinese phone for about 5 years and I always hated the battery management (it went down fast, only when you used it, but if you left it alone and then spent 10 min on youtube it would go down like crazy), the camera is awful and the android is 5.0 although they claim it is 5.1. , SO, I went to xda to try and find my phone there, and I tried to follow this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...p-recovery-t3170261/post62141323#post62141323
I had no trouble getting the files but it said that the MTK chipset driver was only available for windows 7 only, I tried on windows 10 but without success.
I then proceded to run the SP tool, and took the battery and scanned, and everything went fine, it apeared the text "N/A+COM(x)" as it said on the guide as well the "DL OK" at the end of the process. But then I was going to turn it on directly into the recovery mode and got the purple screen.
Considerations:
-I could have messed up before starting the process of flashing but I followed the exact steps. The TWRP file was not available on the website so I got it on other place.
I can turn it on but to turn it off I need to remove the battery. I get the same screen booting up the phone or going into recovery mode.
- The volume buttons work (as well as the speaker), I can screenshot with power+vol. down and the vibration motor also works if I try to use the capacitive buttons or press the power button for 5 seconds, I can also see the internal storage if I connect it to my computer (using scrcpy doesn't work).
- I don't think I can use the touchscreen as the screen can't really help me figuring it out but probably not since the shutdown from the power button doesn't work
- I can send some photos but I don't know any page to link them.
