I was trying to install a custom ROM and did not know I needed an unlocked bootloader, as I used ROMs on a S4 without doing any extra work.
Anyway, so when I attempted that, my Optimus L9 rebooted and gave me the LG logo with the "Security Error" words below it. It's stuck on that now. I tried using the LG Mobile Support Tool, but it gets stuck on downloading new software. The progress bar disappears quickly, so I'm sure it's not downloading.
I tried leaving it to download for around 45 minutes, but it was stuck on the same screen when I came back, with no progress bar. It can't be that it's taking long, I have decent Internet (150/75). I'm afraid of leaving it for hours as the device does heat up.
Is there ANYTHING I can do? I tried calling LG and the woman who was there to help me was rude and treated me like an idiot, only to give me the solution of sending it in. PLEASE help me!!

It's always best to include your device model when asking questions like this. There are four models of the L9 and the all have different quirks.
A factory hard-reset or use the 'Recovery' option in the LG Support tool. Only things I can think of at the moment with a lack of details.
Did you back anything up? If not, not much else to do other than try what I've suggested.
This post may also be of some interest.
Advice::
Never assume anything. Research is your friend I had an LG Optimus One, was easy to mod, root, etc. I bought this L9 ( P769 ) on the assumption that it would be similar. Boy was I wrong. However, I did the research before attempting to do anything with the L9.

I really regret doing what I did :crying:. It's definitely a huge lesson for me.
My model: LG Optimus L9 MS769 (back cover says P769?)
If a factory hard-reset means holding the home button, voIume UP button, and power button, then I already did that but I did not reach the robot.
In the LG support tool, after I enter S/W upgrade mode, it says the software version is V10D and that there is an upgrade available. When I start the upgrade, it goes through the first step but when I get to the second step, it doesn't download I think. I have an image but I can't link to it since I have under 10 posts.

Their network is horribly slow. I've heard of people waiting 2 hours. In addition the tool appears to freeze. However, it's still operating.
I don't prefer this method because of the time.
Learn how to use the unofficial fastboot & offline flash.
Or just keep waiting for that program to finish.

So it's normal? The reason I thought otherwise was because when I searched, I saw 0 people with the stuck/long download issue and figured it was just me. I didn't want to risk my device even further as I am aware that it has been soft-bricked, so there is a little hope available. Should I let it sit for 3-4 hours and let it over-heat?
I attempted the fastboot method but my device was not showing under the Devices section. I do not have a "Other Devices" section when I get to the step.
I am trying the offline flash method now, although I can't find a working V10D KDZ.

No entry in TI Board or anything similar either .
And I don't understand either. I'm letting it sit on the download process now and it's slowly getting warmer.

At this point you don't have anything else to loose. I honestly can't say yes or no. I think all pertinent partitions will be updated to the newer version. I've never used this method so I cannot say 100%.

As in LG Support Tool? No I don't think it will since your phone has been altered with unofficial methods. I could be wrong tho.
Just realized something else strange, IMHO, my P769 came with Android 4.1.2 ( JellyBean ) and you say you were on stock ICS?
Just out of curiosity was it a WalMart purchase? They're still advertised as having ICS 4.0.4. Last update I got was to from V20G to V20H which is what I'm on now.

I mean that in order for the KDZ flash to work you must do some edits in the host file so that you can do the offline fix, I did it but it won't work as the tool crashes while connecting to the device.
My device also came with 4.1.2. It did not come with ICS. But when I open the support tool it says V10D. I bought my L9 from an official MetroPCS store

Yep. Hurry up and right click on it before it disappears and select "Update Driver". You need to manually point Device Manager to the usb_driver folder in the fastboot tools folder. You may have to do that a couple times. If successful, unplug USB from device wait a couple seconds and plug back in. This will reinstall the drivers just in case they didn't take the first time.

I got fastboot to work!!! I got the inverted screen and all. Now the problem is that I can't flash the phone . I keep trying a KDZ I downloaded. The supporter tool provided in the zip keeps trying to connect to the phone, the UpTest one loads the new Support Tool and it crashes, and the KDZ UPD tool gets stuck on unpacking KDZ and says no phone found.

..1. Remove the battery and the USB cable from phone.
..2. Without the battery, plug the USB cable and connect the PC to the phone with USB cable.
..3. Press and hold (VolumeUp) key and press (Power) key for 2/3 secs. You should see "S/W Upgrade" on the screen after a few seconds.

Hi Joseph CZ, perhaps you could try with adb via USB (from SDK tools), I'm not sure, though.

you can try cmahendra sir's 2 in 1 guide or if you can, go service centre, tell them that a update (0TA) showed, AND THEN this is happening. they will.install software for you. as warranty is over, they might charge (5$ here) for software work. I did a hell lot deep **** then you, kept working 6 hours, but wasn't able to fix the phone,went service centre and now typing via same phone.

man service centre, like you have for Nokia, Samsung etc, you can Google LG mobile service centre around your locality,.
doesn't matter it's metro or p778,768,765,760 etc etc etc.
as your warranty is over, you have no fear of them saying warranty void, as ultimately they will charge for the software transaction.
and I know how it feels to see your phone dying on you.
JUST DONT LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU KNOW ABOUT ROOTING /BL/FASTBOOT .act like a dumb and tell them that you were trying to update your software by the wifi (software update OTA) and now this happened.
sweet talks makes way everywhere.

Hi all, I was in the process of trying to put Android 5.0 on my Verizon G3. I was following this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/howto-update-to-stock-lollipop-23a-t3044398. I downgraded to 10b, upgraded to 12b and then the last step, which is when things went wrong is I was upgrading to 23b (5.0) via the Action Launcher method and when the device when to boot back up to install the update it failed.
Im now stuck to where I can not power up the device, I get the LG screen and it says "Secure Boot Error/Certificate Error".. something along those lines. I lost the ability to get into download mode, it tries and then shows the boot error screen before going black.. the notification lights also flash amber and blue. The only thing I can get into is Recovery mode by Volume down + power but I tried every option.. safe mode, wipe cache, factory reset, usb debug mode all give me the boot error screen before going black.
Any suggestions before I trash the device?
I don't know how to get out of that situation, but if you post in the Verizon G3 Q&A section, someone might have some ideas.
Otherwise, I'd go to a Verizon store, tell them that you received am OTA update and left your phone like that.

This is the VZW G3 Q&A no?
I called tech, said I received an update and wasn't sure what happened but the phone wont start now, its going through insurance with the $100 deductible but my concern now is, the tech said if they find it was modded in any way I would be charged $300. The phones not rooted or anything, just a bad file I tried to apply I guess through Action Launcher. But with the notification lights flashing different colors and a boot error message I feel busted lol.
If I can somehow fix the phone I would like to try. I've been in bad situations with other devices and have always found a way out, but this being my first LG device I'm feeling lost and worried its too late.

Blame Tapatalk. Sorry about that, LOL.
I understand. Don't blame me if I'm wrong, but I doubt if they'll be able to tell. First thing they'll do is put it back to Stock with some advanced tool of their, and I'm sure it'll wipe internal storage where the file was.

This is for the g2 but I believe it will work. You'll need to run linux or a linux live cd and find the correct files for vs985. Theyre on autoprimes site. If you cant find them reply to this and ill track down the url.

That should work , I bricked my g2 and was able to fix it using
Fastboot commands, I'm thinking you can use adb commands
And fix your phone. You basically have to push .img files to
The phone through adb. Good luck
Edit, I could always swap mother boards for under two hundred
And just don't even go through your insurance. Check eBay and
Amazon they sell them.

Yeah I was looking at that last night.. I wouldn't have to be rooted though? I'll see if I can find the files I need. I've never run Linux before but its worth a shot. I was kind of discouraged when I read about a similar G3 user who tried the process with no luck.
Alright I found these.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/reference-stock-img-files-t2966958
Would those do? And what mode would I put the device in? The computer does not recognize the phone..download mode won't work and recovery mode options won't work either. I'm familiar with adb and fastboot but if someone could post the commands I need it would be helpful..in the meantime I'm going to try and see if I can find them myself. Thanks

Does your phone even show as qhsusb_bulk or similar in device manager while in Linux? Make sure you use the img's from the firmware you were installing when you had the problem. I assume 23B. The commands are in the link I posted above but keep in mind they are for the G2. It's likely to DD commands, ie. partition locations are different on the G3, I don't know the correct ones. Maybe some research can dig them up. Doesn't look too bad assuming you can get linux to recognize the phone in some form, which it should and that you're able to verify the location of the partitions for G3. Wish I could be more help. It was a long time ago when I went through this on the G2
Cyber Warrior said:
This is the VZW G3 Q&A no?
I called tech, said I received an update and wasn't sure what happened but the phone wont start now, its going through insurance with the $100 deductible but my concern now is, the tech said if they find it was modded in any way I would be charged $300. The phones not rooted or anything, just a bad file I tried to apply I guess through Action Launcher. But with the notification lights flashing different colors and a boot error message I feel busted lol.
If I can somehow fix the phone I would like to try. I've been in bad situations with other devices and have always found a way out, but this being my first LG device I'm feeling lost and worried its too late.

I've never had to do insurance for a bad update.
I have TEC and in those cases where there is absolutely no damage, I get a replacement for free.
YMMV but I wouldn't pay $100.

It's a bit confusing the way it's written in the guide. I believe you use the 23b files in your case. Reread it to be sure.
The files are here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/reference-stock-img-files-t2966958
More files here if needed http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G3
I'm not even sure my phone is being recognized..at least nothing pops up. I'm not familiar with terminal commands in linux. At this point I'm lost.. I messaged auto prime to see if he could help out. I'm not even sure where to begin converting that g2 guide for use with the g3.
For the hek of it I'm putting the android SDK on Linux just to see if I can get fastboot to recognize the phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/fix-unbrick-lg-g3-stuck-qualcomm-hs-usb-t2933853 you can try this from Windows if your phone is showing up as Qualcomm in device manager.

Qualcomm driver is on this page.. 252-253 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142&page=252
Good luck, I was able to get the phone recognized as qhsusb_bulk, then as qualcomm 9008 but eventually gave up after spending over 2 days researching and trying different methods before i threw in the towel.. I even had help via remote access to my computer with no luck. Check the thread I linked there were a few guys willing to help out.
My replacement G3 actually arrived today.. still cant believe I hard bricked a device.

Hello Everyone,
I have a questions and hopefully some one can help me out here. My son has bricked my phone and I believe it is a soft brick... could be wrong. However, I need to find away too unbrick it.
I can get into hard reset with out issues. however with everything I do, I can't get into recovery what's so ever. The phone just hangs at the loading screen. I have talked to my son in order to find out what he did and this is exactly what he told me
He installed king root and attempted to replace-kinguser-with-supersu. However when he installed the application, it asked to reboot the phone. Well he rebooted the phone and now it is stuck at the loading screen and wont go any further than that. He also told me that he did not remove kingroot prior too the reboot. Please help! as I need my phone for work.
I am out of options on what too do. I would post the guide he used but I am limited due too the spamming regulations of the board.
Any one have an idea on how to unsoft brick this phone? I am all out of options as the only two options I have are hard boot and download mode.

According to the good people here on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/qa-metro-pcs-lg-k7-lgms330-t3331678 there is only a paid solution at the moment.
http://lg-firmware-rom.com/download...330-dll-for-lg-up-unbrick-lg-k330-with-lg-up/
if it is a lg k7 k330 (tmo) i followed this guide http://www.repairshopusa.com/phone/lg-k7-k330-unbrick-method/
Thank you for the information. However the lgup application does not recognize my phone. Indicates that the model is "Unknown"
Guess i am out of luck lol
Not uncommon. Sometimes you need to unplug and replug the device back in or close and reopen the program.
Thank you for the information. Does the USB debugging option need to be enabled because if it does, I don't think it is as the my computer does not recognize my device at all. Under computer, it shows as k7. However when I got into the device manager it indicated "LGE Android MTP device".
No. USB Debugging only works while booted into the system or recovery. You must be in Download Mode for the LG Up tool.
At this time, I am really frustrated as nothing is currently working at this time. Possibly because the phone just went under a hard reset. I have changed the port too 41 and ran the flash tool and that was not able too pick up my phone either. Also, I can't seem to get the lgup to work correctly as it's still not working correctly.
I have uninstalled the applications belonging too lg, rebooted and then reinstalled them and I still get the same thing. I have attached screen shots below. lgup does indicate the firmware I need, however I can't get too it lol

If I remember right, you have to make it search for *.kdz otherwise it's looking for .tot files, which is why it's probably not seeing the firmware you need.

Yes you are correct. However the file that I have downloaded from the link below doesn't actually provide you with a kdz file. The file provided you the files that have been extracted from the kdz file, which are the (LGK330.dz) file
Ah, weird. Never worked on an LG that didn't use .tot, .kdz, or .bin files. I guess just search for *.dz and it should load according to the link the other guy put up.

How's it going man, I need your help I have a ms330 stuck in 9008 mode with an unlocked bootloader. Everything I've tried has failed and I'm stuck. I only owned this phone for 6hrs before I screwed it up any help will be appreciated!!
Hi all.
i just bought at&t unlocked G5 (H820), and it seems i have a problem about "software update".
When i check Android security patch level, its still on "2016-03-01" (Build number: MMB29M, H82010c). Its very outdate, and i cant get any update. already check via software update (OTA), its says i'm on the latest software. I try use LG Bridge, still the same - i dont get any update and i get error "cant find software" or something like that (i dont remember the exact word).
Please, can you guys help me. Is there another way to get Software update?
I dont even have app drawer :crying:
fyi: I already search firmware for H820, but still no luck.
Thanks.
I have a similar problem with my phone, OTA does not work for me.
Download the latest version of LG Bridge and connect your phone, go to Software Update tab and search for update
Thats the only way I got updates and im updating to Nougat with my H860N right now.

Already tried sir. Still no luck.
Everytime i click "Search for update", i always get this error
"Cannot check the software version Try Again". I dont have any problem with USB driver, my phone connect perfectly with LG Bridge and i have the latest version of LG Bridge. I tried to click "Update error recovery" and i get this error message "cannot check phone information".
any idea?
Hmm, I would suggest perhaps try it on another PC (also looks like there are troubles with LGUP+ Macs if you are on one)

I'm on windows sir.
Yeah, maybe i will try it on another PC (even though i dont have any problem when using LG Bridge with G4).
btw, this is my first time buying unlocked phone. i dont know that i need at&t simcard just to get an OTA update.
I think im screwed. haha.
This is also happening to me. Since I've got my phone back from warranty I don't recieve any OTA updates (even though before everything was fine) and LG Bridge is displaying the same error as yours. In my case the reason I think it is because the motherboard was replaced. My phone is an UK model but the new motherboard is made for Europe (my IMEI was changed after this replacement). Maybe something similar happened to your phone. If you can find any solution to this please post it because I'm also interested in resolving this.
