I've tried solutions to similar problems in several threads, but to no avail.
My daughter's LG Volt one day just stopped getting a cell signal or 3g or anything. It was running CM12.1 (no dialer codes) so I tried flashing back to stock using the download mode, as indicated by the instructions in the thread. It gets into download mode, says 'do not unplug', and then sits there for about 2 minutes before some more writing comes up and it says 'processing' and continues to hang, never making a connection with the PC. As luck would have it, I have my son's LG Volt here too and his connects in download mode just fine.
Is there any way to repair download mode on an LG Volt?
Is there any way to flash an LG Volt back to stock without download mode?
Thanks in advance.

Okay long story short, I attempted to install transparent cm7.2 status bar and phone bricked (fastboot). I fixed it and installed other phone model's cwm with windows cmd command (stupid, I know). After this I'm always stuck at lg screen. Can't get into recovery either. Lg update tool does not find the phone, neither does cmd.exe. I sometimes get the ''colored snow screen'' or whatever I should call it. But it doesnt change the fact that the phone can't be recognized by anything.
What should I do? I ran out of ideas. I can't turn the phone in any mode, it always starts with the lg screen.
bump
bump. dammit, am i really screwed? I managed to get a notification about new hardware installing yesterday but none of the driver stuff I had worked so I left it the way it was and did not install anything afterwards.
I've just entered Emergency Mode!! with volume up+down+plugging into usb. Some driver got installed but there's still no lg stuff in device manager
Completely bricked.
Doesn't turn on at all.
Okay, any excuse I can tell the phone suppliers?
cek recovery
whether you have flash before CWM recovery?
if you might have tried to go to CWM pressing the power + vol down
if you managed to do as they pleased
The phone is a brick. It doesn't turn on in any way. Completely dead. If I could get to CWM I wouldn't be asking for a story to tell the phone suppliers xD
You can use KDZ Updater and also download original lg firmware. All can be found here in this forum.

HELP PLZZZ.....
Hello. I'm new to the forum, and the issue that brought me here as had me fulling my hair out of the last three days.
I'll try my best to make this short as possible. I have (obviously) AT&T Lg Optimus G (E970) that was running 4.0.4. i rooted and unlocked it and flashed a cm 10.1 using TWRP. Yesterday tried to flash a zip for a transparent status bar mod. But the flash resulted in CM getting stuck on the splash screen. So i booted in TWRP recovery mode to restore from a recent backup. In the midst of wiping my rom and going to restore, i guess my phone died (which was weird because it had a substantial charge). Then it would no longer power on, and the only was i could get ANY response was by plugging it on the charger. All i get it the red indicator light. my phone will only turn on when plugged into the computer. from there the only two thing i can do is enter download mode and boot. and when i try to boot, i will get the lg logo for a moment and the the screen cuts out and goes back the the flashing red light.
so I trien the LGNPST method.
i downloaded the auto LGNPST and installed just fine. downloaded teenybin and lg stock bin. i've tried to flash both (put phone into download mode, select the dll and select the bin file). what happens is everything starts off fine, then when it gets to 67% the phone reboots, then goes back to the flashing red indicator light, and a message on LGNPST will pop up saying the phone has been disconnected, and to reconnect to continue. so i'll unplug the phone, plug it back in, and put it in download mode, and hit continue. LGNPST will say complete but the phone will still be just sitting in download mode. and if i unplug it, it's goes back to square one (red flashing indicator light)
EDIT: i was flashing the v11c stock bin. i just flashed the v20j bin and now we're boot looping while plugged in (lg logo for about 2 seconds, shut off, repeat) progress???
SO SO SORRY FOR THE LONG READ. Just trying to give as much info as possible hoping it helps.
My question is, is this a hard or a soft brick, and do i have any options left? after researching on here i'm hoping JTAG isn't my only option (I don't have the time or funds to go that route) and i saw someone mention taking it back to at&t, butIi don't think that would help me any since rooting the phone voids the warranty, correct?
I'd be eternally grateful for ANY advice. i'm at my wits end, and i've been google researching this for so long i'm starting not to even comprehend what i'm reading. PLEASE HELP!! And thank you so much in advance.

If it is hard bricked when connected to computer it will show up in device manager as QDUSB Device or something similar. You could try to do a factory reset with button combo, be sure phone is powered off then hold power and volume down until menu shows up.
You Can Also Try TeenyBin If Factory Reset Does Not Work

thanks for the reply guys. it looks like my phone is showing up in the device manager under ports as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM3)" is that a good sign? i'm going to try flashing teenybin again.

Yes, you are not dead in the water. Proceed, young grasshopper.

All the custom, unofficial 4.2.2 roms I found on XDA require that you be on the latest LG 4.1.2 OTA.
There are also links to stock rom and kernel so you don't have to mess with LGPT whatever. No need to do OTA etc, if you flash this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219953
I also found TWRP to be far easier to install, which is installed by default I think with FreeGee. But you can find thread for the latest TWRP 2.6. TWRP makes flashing and wiping cache/dalvik super easy.
Ok, so i'm starting to think this is a battery issue as opposed to a hardware issue. i could still be wrong. I've flashed the stcok rom after stock rom. When i plug my phone into a computer usb port it LG logo boot loops (and this is the only way i can get to download mode), but when i plug it into the usb wall charger, i just get the red flashing light and no other response. when it's not plugged in i get nothing.It's still showing up as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port" in my device manager and i can still get to dpownload mode just fine, so i know all isn't "according to what i've read and been told". So i'm running out of fixes. I did come accross a thread on here suggesting i unplug the battery and plug it back up. So i'll be getting the tools and praying that works.
I did also come across an interesting thread on another forum. They were saying how id you allowed your battery to drain all the way to true zero (which i think might be possible because my phone died in recovery mode), it wouldn't have enough juice to initiate and monitor the charging process. If this is the case, can the batter be brought back to life? a jump start or something (lol)? or will i have to just replace the battery?
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE HELP SO FAR GUYS.
When you used lgnpst to go to 11c it boot looped because you tried to go backwards from cm. If you did a factory reset afterwards with button combo it should boot. Also can you get into recovery after flashing teenybin to do a reset and flash a ROM?

i did a factory reset a few times, but it still never booted. and whenever i LGNPST, when it hits 67% the phone reboots and just starts bootlooping (if i flash a stock rom) if i LGNPST teenybin, at 67% the phone will shut off and the flashing red light will just come up. and after each a message will say phone was unplugged or lost connection. after both instances ill plug it back up and put it in download mode again to finish and it will complete, but the phone will just be sitting there in download mode. and if i reboot.... bootloop city.
i cam across this thread that seems to detail my issue perfectly. so i'm going to attempt a teenybin flash one more time to tryt to get recovery mode (havent been able to get it at all), and if that doesn't work i'm going to do a battery pull..

i was nervous because i've never opened my (or any other) phone before.
and thanks to the tot link provided by zymphad above, i'm now running jb 4.1.2
THANK YOU GUYS :highfive:
I found LG's camera lacking, but 4.2 has an update for that, plus the camera mod, much improved I think.
Running RootBox great now with 124mhz idle, GPU downclocked to 200 and CPU undervolted to 85, stable and cool. I don't 3d game on phones.
Glad you fixed it, I just hope someone makes a high capacity internal battery for us since taking it apart isn't that difficult.

Hey,
I saw many posts regarding LG E615 being stuck in bootloops. I had rooted my phone a month back, yesterday i went in for a software update.(Mistake i guess) and after the update when the phone reboots, it started going into a boot loop. I had backed up my data before i updated the phone using LG PC Suite. Now when i switch on my phone, the LG icon keeps flashing on and off. Also when i go into Emergency Download mode, it starts installing the Drivers on the laptop but the LG USB Mobile Modem driver doesn't install. I even installed the driver from external source, but still to no avail. I have already downloaded the firmware for flashing my phone altogether, but will that result in all backed up data also being deleted? Or is there any other way by which i can get my phone working? Also, i forgot to mention but i am unable to open the Recovery mode of the phone as suggested on net as Pressing Volume down+Power and then releasing and pressing Home button. Please help
Thanks
Hi there! I'm a stupid-stupid person. I was trying to get Lollipop faster, so I tried to flash lollipop on my phone.
I managed to root it, but haven't done any backup, except for media and contacts.
I'll try to explain what I've done.
So I rooted the phone, entered the download mode and then I tried to flash it using LG Flash Tool 2014.
When in download mode, it was stuck at 0%, so I didn't wait to go ahead, I tried to flash it.
Now, the flash failed several times. The phone was alright then.
Further, I tried again and at some point something happened, it got to two percent, it wrote COM4 and then it failed. It might have been my antivirus that stopped the process, I'm not sure.
Well, now I have a useless phone. It keeps showing the LG logo.
The hard reset doesn't work, it's not recognized in Device manager, and it doesn't work download mode.
When I try to power it off it does so only after a long press. At first, when the screen goes black, if I release the power switch, then it will reboot again. If I press it long enough, the phone will power off.
I'm desperate, of course.
The phone was running Kitkat.
So I tried returning my Sprint LG G3 back to stock using the LG Flash Tool. Somewhere near the end of the unrooting process, there was an error on the Flashtool, saying "USB OPEN PORT FAIL!" On my G3, there was a blue screen saying "Factory Reset Status" and a big, red 2. Many people have suggested switching to Board DL on the Flashtool, but there's one more problem. I can't enter download mode! I can, however, boot into Recovery Mode just fine, but I can't get into Download Mode no matter what I do. Can anybody help? Thanks!
Have you tried pulling the battery, then try download mode? Is it saying fastboot at any point?

Yes, I have tried going into download mode after pulling the battery, and still no success. It does not say fastboot anywhere.
THIS guide should get ya fixed up. I would definitely read it a few times, there is a lot of steps involved. What state is the phone in now?

I had the same issue yesterday when I was unrooting my g3. I could not boot into download mode once it was stuck at factory reset 2 screen. Finally I was able to boot into download mode after using the different USB port on computer.
