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 guys im not quite new when it comes to android.
last night i was trying to upgrade and flash a CWM on my friends vibrant whe it stopped. i turned off the phone when tries to turn it back on.... the phone quite turns hot and not like my phone when im flashing it.
i got all the files download and read all of the instructions before starting ofcourse.
first the phone doesnt turn on, then i manage to enter the DOWNLOAD MODE again but somehow the Laptop doesnt detect and gives a yellow punctuation mark on the device. i tried to install and flash the rom but it doesnt continue. i tried putting or plugging it to a diff port but still no luck.
can someone help me and answer this question? is this thing hard bricked = im screwed
any help would be gladly appreciated. thanks again guys in advance
Try a different USB cable as well as a different USB port.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30831184
Read that post, then, read the thread from page 1, just so I don't feel like I've had the same conversation twice in 1 day.
Shouldn't take long its only a few posts. See if this applies to your situation.
thanks boss but i tried the cable with my galaxy mini and it worked when i tried to flash and went back to stock rom. changed the port as well but still no luck....
the phone as well doesnt turn on like the way of a soft brick. a picture of a phone wanted to be connected to a pc, black screen it is though but the phone goes to DOWNLOAD MODE
Try reinstalling drivers from AIO toolbox. Open Odin as administrator. What does Odin say exactly? Is there a yellow box, if so what does it say in it?
i tried reinstalling the drivers i have downloaded but still no luck, odin detects the phone and when it doesnt i re-install the driver so the computer would detect the COM port of the phone. the odin doesnt push through and no BLUE bar on the phone it self. such as the indicator for the flashing. i tried as well running odin as the administrator but still no luck. so do you think that this could be a hard brick, i dont think so cause i can still enter the DOWNLOAD mode of it. the phone turns hot when im on the download mode. could this be a hardware problem.
No its probably not a brick. I think its a communication issue. I would still think its possible to fix it. As far as it getting hot, not sure but the fact that it gets to download mode is a beacon of hope.
I've got to go to bed, will be back tomorrow to check on this.
yeah i hope thesame way too man. thanks for the reply.... time for you to take some rest. thanks again. i'll post the reply if ever the phone gets fixed
thanks for everything man, the phone now is resurrected after JTAGGING. but i know that those technicians who charged me 1000php just did the flashing on ODIN. i know the thing i've done wrong why it didnt work the first time. now it is running up again. the firmware that was flashed was for TELUS. it now shows T959D. i'll follow the guide fully on flashing and upgrading this thing
I had the same problem as you this morning. I tried driver, after driver, after driver and nothing worked. Eventually I gave in and used my sister's laptop and that did the trick. Mabuti ayos na ang cp mo. Ingat.
It's my beloved I9100P. Last night it strangely failed. I realised in the morning when the alarm didn't go off. The phone was switched off.
When I tried to switch on, it got stuck in boot loop. The carrier animation and samsung logo will keep repeating. So I thought I will go into recover mode and do a factory reset. Phone went into factory mode the first time. I thought let me do a restart from there, just to see what happens. At this point, I noticed a lot of red errors on recovery mode screen, most of which saying something like "unable to mount /cache". I restarted it, but unfortunately the phone again went into boot loop.
Now when I tried, it refused to go even to recovery mode. I tried several times, but every time it got stuck on Samsung Galaxy logo.
It went into download mode fine, so I thought I will flash Orange UK carrier ROM. I downloaded the ROM and tried flashing with ODIN. ODIN recognised the device, but the flashing failed with error "Complete (Write) operation failed".
I don't know what to do now, have exhausted all option that I knew.
Any help in reviving my phone please?
@kaushal101 Keep yourphone phone connected to your pc and keep it in download mode. Dont disconnect it it could turn into a hardbrick which you can't fix without jtag repair service.
What you could do is see or you have installled all drivers, kies is disabled, right odin version. Google the problem and you would probably find an answer fast. I hope this message isnt too late..

Interesting. After trying several things, I did unplugged it from the machine. It shows the upgrade failed warning message whenever I try to switch it on now, which was expected.
I can still go to download mode and restart the ODIN flashing original Orange firmware process, but it fails with the same error. The only difference is, the first time it failed on CACHE step. Now it is failing one step earlier, at NAND writing stage.
Is there any hope? I had kies disabled etc., but will give it another shot. My phone was accessible with kies and I could also upload my development APKs from Android studio. So I think drivers shouldn't be a problem.
@kaushal101 I dont really have much knowledge about the s2 anymore, so the only good thing I can suggest is to google the problem and get more people to your thread here to help you and or find other threads about the same thing.
It is good that your phone can still go into downloadmode, I think there is still hope to fix your phone

Thanks for keeping the hope alive!
Have followed XDA's S2-ODIN troubleshoot guide, with no luck so far. Tried different versions of ODIN, reinstalled USB drivers, made sure KIES is removed from processes etc. None has helped so far. I'll keep looking!

Did you tryed another stock rom version?
Try other usb cable.
Sounds weird but try to leave the battery out of your phone for like a couple minutes
Try other usb port.
Try other computer:silly:
These are the things I can think of atm.
Have tried other USB port. Have tried a different firmware.
Am going to try a different PC today, will also give different cable a shot. But the cable I'm using is Samsung official one which came with the phone. And I've been uploading APKs using this cable fine, so am quite sure the cable is fine. But still, will give it a shot. Thanks for replying
Hey guys. I got a phone from a friend and decided to perfom a soft reset just for the heck of it. Well unbeknownst to me, that phone was rooted. And well. You know the rest. Anyways. I looked into ways to fix it and there are so many different methods out I just get confused trying to do any of them I have a computer with Windows seven at my disposal. I have searched and couldn't really find a forum specific to my device but any help would be appreciated. The person who rooted this phone did not set up any recovery on the phone (sigh) but I can get it into a mode where it says "firmware update" and the download is stuck at zero cuz obviously there isn't anything being downloaded. Any help would be appreciated :good:
Actually I just remembered I wasn't trying to reset it I was trying to update it.
Hello guys and gals, so i just recieved my LG V10 H901 and tried to follow https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...step-step-guide-rooting-lg-v10-using-t3382631 this guide, but eventually i ended up with a brick after trying to flash the .tot file.
I keep getting
Boot Verification Fail
- cause: MISHMATCH_SIG_LEN
The TWRP recovery i had is now gone, and i can't access Bootloader. I can enter Download though. I read a lot of things around the problem, but i always stuck on various software versions or phone versions i can't really understand. Is there any way to get the phone back working? Before i try any method i just want to be sure i wont mess even worse (if that is even possible).
I tried UnbrickMe thread, but it says only for soft version:h90120j I have soft version H90120c (i haven't performed the update to MM) so i don't wanna try without being sure its going to work.
I m leaving for vacations in couple of days and i don't have a phone :/ please give me your lights.
Also LGUP wont see the phone, the same for ADB.
OK I Fixed it!
I was able to get out of this maelstrom of bootloops and to finaly flash the default ROM (you can find it here https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/stock-h90120j000712-kdz-t3436249 )
So what i did is to remove battery for 10 seconds
Put The battery in
Hold volume up button
Plugin the phone to my PC through USB
Then download mode will start
I opened LGUP and fortunately it was able to see my phone.
Then went to Upgrade and flashed the kdz file.
All went smoothly and the phone is back working.
