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

give a try to error guides over here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314 it has done wonders for many flash in cs emergency mode from the flasher menu. Read detail guide in the link provided.
I am not sure if it works for optimus v but it does works for optimus 1. give it at try
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.
I have yet to find an answer to this while searching for the past day, so I'm going to ask about it here.
My LG Optimus V's (just got it a few days ago as a birthday present) screen seems to be permanently blank... In case someone asks... yes, it is activated.
What Happened:
I rooted the phone using Gingerbreak 1.2, installed rom manager/clockwork recovery mod, then attempted to backup my phone in case something went wrong. However, when I started the backup, I noticed that the screen was completely blank. I was kinda freaking out, so I just took a shower while it did it's thing. When I came back, it was done creating the backup and it showed up in Rom Manager. After toying with some of the things I can do with it rooted (I only rooted it to see how much of a difference it would make without changing the kernel), I decided to recover that backup. When my phone restarted to recover the backup, the screen was blank once again. After waiting for over an hour, I concluded that it must have finished (since my HTC Hero would finish restoring and never reboot until I tell it to) and took out the battery. Afterwards, it would show the LG splash screen... then the blank screen.
What I Did:
I was thinking about the android screencast java application a few hours after my problem first developed. I plugged my phone into my computer, got adb working, and android screencast showed me that my phone was actually getting stuck at the clockwork recovery mod screen. I tried many things... I installed a CM7 rom, flashed 3 different recoveries, flashed an overclocked stock rom, etc. Eventually, I flashed the stock rom (no changes whatsoever) and stock recovery. Now I can hear my phone, but cannot see it. However, I should note that while using CM7 the same thing happened. The only difference being that I could use android screencast to see the screen (the phone was actually working) with CM7. Now with the stock rom, adb is disabled and I cannot see the screen or do... anything.
What I Think I Should Do:
I'm thinking about calling Virgin Mobile and telling them that my screen is defected. If they see the issue they'll probably think that it's a hardware issue (for all I know, it could be) and they'll probably give me a replacement. However, if anyone as had the same problem and fixed it, I would love to know.
I would love you hear your opinion on this and, if possible, a fix. Thanks in advance!
(JIC, if I posed in the wrong section, I'm sorry...)
you poor souls reporting the symptoms of getting the newer screen hardware from the optimus s in your v's don't number in the double digits yet, but it's getting closer.
I posted a fix on AndroidCentral, see it:
here
good luck! the fix has worked for everyone I pointed to it so far.
btw, the screencast idea is excellent!
crud. stock recovery, you may be SOL.
you'll probably have to boot into custom recovery to use screencast or adb now.
use the unplug phone -> pull&replace battery -> hold home+volume down -> keep holding, press and hold power until lg screen goes blank to enter recovery. maybe adb will work in stock recovery, I dunno.
Thank you very much for the reply!
Yeah, you're right, I'm probably SOL... I still have one option though! Theoretically, I should be able to turn on ADB without being able to see my screen. I know how to access the settings without seeing it, but navigating myself to the "Applications", "Development", "USB Debugging" may be a little hard. I will attempt to do so. I will report my progress in a bit.
However, if you (or somebody else) could provide screenshots of a step-by-step process to turn on USB Debugging in the stock rom (since it's kinda hard to do remember where everything is and screenshots of different phones is kinda different) then I would appreciate it VERY much!
I shall update this in an hour or so.
UPDATE (9/2/11 - 9 PM):
I'm going to take a break for now. Good thing I give everyone my Google Voice number, I doubt anyone will notice a change. I'm going to flash a stock rom onto my HTC Hero so I can figure out where things are on the LG Optimus V (Same screen size) in an hour or so. I'll update my progress in like 2 hours.
UPDATE (9/3/11 - 8:10 AM):
I have been unable to turn on USB Debugging and it seems to be because I don't know where the confirmation after turning it on is located. However, I should note that when I boot into (I think) recovery, "adb devices" states that the device is attached but offline. If there is a way to make it "online" from stock recovery then I would love to know. For now, I will try everything I can.
UPDATE (9/3/11 - 8:22 AM):
Ok. I plugged my phone into the back of my computer and now when I do "adb devices" it detects the device in recovery mode. However, when I try "adb shell" it says "- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory <2> -". I'll try some more stuff, but does anyone have any idea of what I can do? Android Screencast doesn't work either, so that's not an option.
UPDATE (9/3/11 - 9:42 AM):
Crap... now it's indefinatly booting into recovery... I had something like this happen before, I'll report my status in an hour or so...
UPDATE (9/3/11 - 12:36 PM):
My friend finally got my phone booting out of recovery again! Now all I have to do is get "USB Debugging" on and it SHOULD work!
I <think> there's a key combination to power up into the bootloader. if you can find it with searching here and android central.
I haven't been able to track that down today. If you can get into the bootloader, you can fix it. Search for asadullah's fastboot root instructions here if you find a way to get into the blue screen (the bootloader, which fastboot talks to.)
otherwise, I'll be done taking the kids to the (ugh) pool in a few hours and I'll search more.
try pulling your battery for a few minutes and see if the reboot cyle stops that way, at least it might get into recovery or the rom.
glad you got back into recovery again, not too sure how to help at this stage though, since I can't find a way to get into the bootloader with a power-on key combo. just emergency mode (useless to the V since the firmware from LG is missing a file) and safe mode. boo.
there is a youtube video for enabling usb debugging on the v, maybe it'll help you find the right spots to press.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHal0hPNS6s
edit: you can also try to reboot into the bootloader with adb, even though it's missing the shell... it's worth a try, and if it works you can flash xionia recovery with fastboot and things would be a lot easier from that point.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
if that works but you need more help, a battery pull is the only way to power off with the bootloader except "fastboot reboot" will try to boot your rom.
Awesome, thanks for the replies! I'm going to try your suggestions now. I'll let you know how things work out in a few hours. I would have replied earlier, but to my satisfaction there was a surprise party planned for me, lol. I will defiantly try these out now.
Once again, thank you very much. I honestly did not expect a reply for something that happens to such few people.

I'm honestly not sure what my friend did, lol. She was just messing with it while it was, apparently, in recovery and it ended up rebooting and loading the rom. I, honestly, don't want to risk getting stuck in recovery anymore since taking out the battery for an hour didn't do anything... If I'm unable to get adb on using what I know from that video then I'll try booting into the bootloader. Like I said before, I'll report my status in a few hours. I really appreciate your help up to now!
EXTREMELY HAPPY UPDATE!!! (9/4/11 - 1:22 AM)
I was able to turn on ADB! I used what I learned from that video and how turning on ADB works on my HTC Hero to get it working and it's FINALLY ON! Now I can attempt to flash the recovery, kernel, and everything else in order to get it working! Thank you VERY much! I will let you know how everything turn out
Another Wonderful Update! (9/4/11 - 2:03 AM)
I have flashed the recovery.img (the Xionia CWMA one) and can see my screen in recovery! I haven't seen anything on my screen besides the LG splash screen so I'm overwhelmed with joy! I'm flashing a new ROM and the other stuff now!
Final Update! (9/4/11 - 2:09 AM)
2:05 AM - I see the rom's boot screen!
2:06 AM - I see the CM7 Mod boot screen!
2:08 AM - I see the UI on my screen and everything seems to be working! Thank you VERY much!
Quick question though... If I want to install a new ROM, do I need to flash the xionia anykernel one directly afterwards?
ah, excellent! glad it's working now.
you're the most persistent (and maybe technically apt) person I've helped with this so far.
I still think that using screencast was the best new idea I've seen yet.
yes, you'll need to flash the xionia kernel after flashing any rom or rom update.
roms come with their own kernel in the boot.img, and none of them currently out for the v have the video drivers from the newer sprint kernels.
right now, xionia kernel is the only thing that works.
and, you'll need to flash the key swap after changing roms, as well, but at least forgetting to do that won't take out your display.
now that you've got xionia recovery on your phone, it should be a lot easier next time.
Thank you for both the help and the compliment!
I don't like giving up when it's something I know I can do. I figured that if I was able to mount my SD card without being able to see the screen, I should be able to turn on USB Debugging as well. About the Android Screencast... I didn't actually think about it until it until I plugged in my phone while the screen was blank, ran "adb devices", and saw that my device was detected within recovery. I figured that I might as well give it a shot... and it worked.
Alright, that's what I figured. Hopefully someone realizes what's happening with refurbished Optimus V smartphones and ports the newer sprint kernels to the Optimus V. I feel like I got ripped-off though... I bought my phone "new" and got a refurbished one. I can't really do anything though, we're not technically supposed to be rooting our Virgin Mobile phones anyways, lol. I'll be sure to do that everytime now though. For now, I think I'm good with the Bumblebee rom.
Once again, thank you VERY much for your help! I know I would not have been able to fix my phone without your help.
EDIT:
Oh yeah, btw, if the Optimus V ever gets stuck in stock recovery, press the "back" button then "home" button to boot into the rom. Not sure why it works (I was never able to see the screen), but it worked.
There is a key combo!
First time caller long time listener... I bricked my own Optmus V with a bogus ROM. To boot into recovery without adb press (Home)+(Volume Down)+(Power) Now rocking CM7!
Before the incident, I had root, no unlocked bootloader, stock JB, v20h.
What had happened was I was trying the Font Installer app in th Play Store because of the added customization that would have been nice.
I found a cool font, and I backed up my current fonts and then pressed install. SuperSU asked for permissions like normal and then my phone restarted.
Then it was so that my phone was stuck at the T-Mobile boot animation after the LG Logo. For about 15 minutes. This is where I believed something was starting to go very wrong. After contemplating for a few extra minutes, I decided to just take out the battery and restart. Same outcome. I thought of all the things that were on the phone thus far because I had just gotten it recently, and decided that it wouldn't hurt me to just do a hard reset by pressing home + vol down + power. Everything went smoothly. Except for the fact that even after I did that, it was leaving me at the T-Mobile screen.
I decided to look on the forums for development and tried to do the unbrick method, to no avail after about 3 hours now. I used the LG User Support Tool and since I hadn't updated to V20f, I decided to do that to see if it would solve my problem. It still didn't, and I'll be honest, I'm a little upset just typing this right now.
I also tried the Upgrade Recovery option and it warmed my heart to see that the process was actually starting. But right at the screen where it says that it is supposed to be downloading something, it freezes up and nothing happens no matter how long I wait. I saw somewhere that it should be a glowing red bar, but I do not see that anywhere, it is just frozen, saying Time Elapsed: 00:12. And before anyone asks, yes, I ran absolutely everything as an administrator.
Is there any possible way to bring this phone back? Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

did you hard reset? then turn off your phone disconnect the battery, connect to the pc holding the volume up button? then try the Update Recovery?
i would just go through that process over and over until it works, theres not really a way to brick this phone i've heard...

Thank you for your reply! I have tried hard resetting multiple times, but I had removed some bloatware apps (I will quarantine them next time instead because I don't wanna go through this ever again) and I have tried the kdz method to only be stuck at 15% every time when I followed instructions to the pixel. I have tried to do it on windows 7 and windows 8. I have also tried the fastboot method by lelus, and that manages to "work" but I am still stuck at the tmobile boot screen afterwards. I have gotten the hang of the process of getting into the fastboot, but what do I do from there? I chose to flash ics xloader and uboot, but the process goes by so fast, I'm not even sure it is doing anything. The LG Tool has really gotten me nowhere, it just gives me a lovely error and then cannot continue the upgrade recovery process.
It said somewhere that after I flash through the fastboot I then have to try the kdz method, so I am going to do that now and see if it works. I don't know if there would be a difference between flashing a jb kdz or an ics kdz, but I will just do ics to be on the safe side.
I am quite happy to say that flashing the ics kdz was successful, and my phone is now up and running.
My p769BK is stuck on the LG screen. /: months
Sent from my LG-MS770 using xda app-developers app
im terrible with fastboot, i used the unlock the bootloader for noobs with an offline flash.
heres what i did to get out of bootloops....
alright, this is all from memory but the offline flash didnt work as well for me when stuck in weird bootloops.
Step one-going back to online flash---->
A---
the easiest way i found was to go to C:/windows/system32/drivers/ect/hosts
right click>open with notepad
there should be two lines at the bottom
"127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
127.0.0.1 csmgdl.lgmobile.com"
i would cut them out and paste them in a text doc in the same folder for reference later...
but either way you should remove them from the hosts file and save
B----
Make sure your small server is closed! once you minimize it it should go down to your status bar (shttps)
Step two-LGMS---->
make sure you have LG mobile support installed or install it.
open lg mobile support
install needed drivers for your phone
power your phone off/remove the battery
put battery back in
connect it to your computer holding down the volume up button
S/W UPDATE mode should pop up, if it doesn't preform and hardreset and try again til it works (it will)
then in the top right corner there should be a button or two click them both until you see
"restore update" or Update restore or something to that effect
select that
and let it ride man
i got my phone ****ed many times and just had to keep redoing this until it worked. if your bootloader is truely unlocked you can probably go through all that again and get CM10 working, i did but im still working through kinks.....
GOOD LUCK feel free to ask any more Q's about this process if you run into any problems
Hello everyone, I have been a fan of your forums for quite a while, you guys have an awesome community. I have been attempting to unbrick my VS990 with no success, I have LGUP and all of the proper dll files in the proper folders, I have two .kdz. One is the stock kdz, I can not get to work at all due to anti roll back (no matter which option I choose) and the other is the current kdz. I got that one to accept using update, but it did not fix my phone, it is still stuck in boot loop. and using refurbish I get an error message saying that it is not supported by that kdz. LG UP is fully recognizing my phone, I found the .kdz files no problem, I believe that I have followed all of the steps here >> https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v10/general/guide-lg-v10-stock-firmware-to-stock-t3224170 any help at all would be appreciated. Side note, I have not rooted or installed a custom recovery.
I would also like to add, I can not do a hard reset. Every time I attempt the phone either locks up when I hit the power key on yes to confirm factory reset, or sometimes it reboots to LG splash screen and locks up then. I am starting to wonder if there isnt a hardware problem with the phone instead of software.
I have just updated my LG V30+ via LG Bridge to 9.0. Update wasnt appearing through phone settings and just yesterday i decided to check LG Bridge if there is anything. It offered me Android 9.0 that was released back in september 2019. i think, i left it to update.
I have found a bunch of annoying things and glitches, like home button and the other 2 can only be white or a few bright colors, unless the theme is black itself, while pulling those buttons from the bottom upwards, it pulls the page thats open at the moment as well (on 8.0 it would just pull the buttons), its very annoying coz it opens a keyboard as well or anything else thats at the bottom of the page (as if i clicked on the field and not pulled from the bottom just to get buttons up)... A bunch of tiny things like these that can be overlooked... BUT, ever since the update i found out that phone doesnt want to charge and it doesnt turn on.
Let me explain how and what happens:
When u try to restart the phone and hold the power off, press restart button, it just turns off the phone, it doesnt start turning it on. Power on button doesnt turn it on either, it just feels dead. I tried holding power on and volume down, holding it 10 sec turned on the phone normally. After it turns on u can normally charge it, it reacts to charger properly and charges it. After i took it off charger and used it a bit, i put it back to charge and it didnt respond. Doesnt respond to wireless charger and PC either (long time ago while it was still on 8.0 it started showing some weird arrow on battery, apparently some water/charging safety, during that arrow i couldnt charge my phone, but only didnt work on fast charger, worked on PC, wireless and any other normal charger without fast/quick charge. This time arrow doesnt appear and i cant charge it anyhow, the only way is to restart it every time i want to charge it and repeat the process of force turning it on etc).
If anyone has any advice/has encountered this before, let me know. I will downgrade it to 8.0 if it will help me solve the problem, coz honestly, i am fine without new updates and i dont care about them. If i knew that 9.0 was so unstable i wouldnt have had updated it. I dont see a point for staying on 9.0 as most of the changes are annoying and unnecessary...

You could have updated manually any time these past few months, using Dev Patched LGUP. We have the full image KDZ here.
Do a factory reset, see if it fixes the issue.
If not re-install the 31a Pie KDZ in REFURBISH mode using Dev Patched LGUP. Go to the H930 PIE KDZ thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/h930-lg-v30-european-market-t3951898
If that still doesn't fix it, downgrade back to last Oreo KDZ. There's nothing about Pie that's better than last stable Oreo and several things that are worse.
Read post #2 of the H930 pie KDZ thread, it tells you how to downgrade to Oreo if you don't like Pie.

9 You could have updated manually any time these past few months, using Dev Patched LGUP. We have the full image KDZ here.
Do a factory reset, see if it fixes the issue.
If not re-install the 31a Pie KDZ in REFURBISH mode using Dev Patched LGUP. Go to the H930 PIE KDZ thread.

I have just factory resetted it and a new problem has arisen. After the phone locks, it freezes completely, only way is to restart it. Seems like it can be restarted and can be charged normally now, but again, when it freezes the only way to turn it off is through volume down + power off... Wondering what will happen if i factory reset it again. Gonna try it, after that only thing left will be either install Pie from here or put Oreo back just how u said. Thanks for help, will update u on my progress

Edit: Another reset didnt change anything. I have tried flashing the 22j version but it gives me this error: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/653910643589775382/686247035803926548/Error20LG.png
I have tried following the guide u provided but i am kinda getting lost there, i might have done something wrong
Edit No. 2: Downgrading to Oreo directly worked, i still need some time to test everything but i think its all good. So if i decide to go through with Android 9.0 i can come back whenever and upgrade it through ur guide? Thank you very much on assistance and ur time, sorry for bothering you!

Yes. You can update to H930 Pie 31a KDZ using the same Dev Patched LGUP you have now. I would recommend Refurbish mode, as that's a clean install. Sounds like something got corrupted with your previous "upgrade" installation.

When i followed the Oreo installation, a warning appeared saying something like "Your password is correct but ur files are corrupted, u need to do a factory reset..." even tho it was factory resetted 3 times before that... So i went though with it since i couldnt factory reset it through recovery mode (it didnt open it no matter how many times i tried) so i did it through normal settings. When i let it factory reset it did it as if it was through recovery mode.
