Hey everyone I found a box full of old phones the other day while cleaning out my garage. I came across an old lg aristo ms210 metro pcs phone. I have no clue what I was trying to do to it back then apparently I have up. A few years later I am a lot more confident in my developer skills I figure this will be a piece of cake.wrong mega wrong. I've flashed stock rom twice using uppercut and lg up. A basic go factory reset freezes as hit yes and ultimately all roads lead to this wonderful splash screen. (attached) any advice and or help would be awesome. I'd like to root this phone just have something to fiddle with that won't cost me a bunch of money if I ruin it lol. Thanks guys
Oh and ps I have no clue if I'm in debugging mode or not I'd have to say probably not cuz and doesn't read it but fastboot does. Like I said it's a mystery.

I am trying to put my Optimus S into emergency mode by following these instructions here: http://cheapcellunlockedphones.com/how-to-fix-a-bricked-lg-optimus-s/
I can not get it into e-mode for nothing. All I get is a black screen. Is there something I am missing?
Nevermind, I got it.
hm. well heres a try
it appears i cannot post to where this is most related...bricked p500h's optimus ones. phone number 3. koodo shall hate me but i will lie again and just say no turn on if noone has a solution. everytime its the update-openoptimus as the culprit, the flash after as per instructions with baseband(force close always occurs and thats the next step) fails and phone goes dead. no life. bricked. whats rather saddening is all the hundreds of posts i read here about people calling their phones bricked when they are in fastboot or emergency mode. hell life would be nice...little note to people. fastboot or emergency mode is NOT a bricked phone. phone going dead during a kdz flash and fail with NO SIGN OF LIFE afterwards is a bricked phone. im going to cry if i see someone else say. i haz yellow screen. ARRGH I BRICKED MY PHONE!!~! HAAALP OH YE WIZARDS OF XDA!!!
now..is there some trick to give this guy power aside from a charged battery and plug via ac or usb...some hidden little nub in this phone to hella reset the freakin thing? im not confident koodo gonna send another. although i will say i dont want a lg ill pay for an upgrade above n beyond. i just would prefer to make this work and say to hell with ciaoux (think thats how the young fella spells it) pretty rom...it worked the first time and thats why i want it its nice i liked it then phone bricked somehow. gone through two more tryin to get there. there has to be a way to give these phones some power tho...has to be! pls xda gurus: this is my first post and ive waited awhile for it. how to save p500h no boot no post.
cheers,.
proud champion of actual phone bricking.

No. Just JTAG. Forget it, it costs more than a PCB change or even more than a brand new phone.
lol ill try my luck, 3rd replacement(if i was honest with them none of em woulda been outright replaced, but hey i was stupid enough to brick it 3 times, not gonna be so stupid to tell the truth what i did!) tomorrow am i call and say ***k lg! gimme a nexus s! 16gb internal. really ive fought gettin the one rom with 4gb sd-ext for internal memory, non issue if i persuade them with my charm. this is what i shall do. next up...lookup what jtagging is. ive meant to. guess now i will. thinkin without a thought its jtag=tagged for garbage. yanno when they take them in and theres no power. they have no real proof, not the provider i doubt. only on amce lg gets it they know whats was done..if that. fill me in if im wrong. im quite good at gettin **** for free from telus/shaw/any of them like outfits.
JTAG is a device that will flash the dead phone with a working firmware. You need to dismantle the phone and connect the JTAG to a connector on PCB. Yeah, Google it, but as said, expensive and totally not worth it unless you are doing the stuff for living.
totally not worth it..as in how much can these devices be. and how much or where would they maybe be found. i get **** cheaper then most ppl in most cases if the right places are sought out....imma server guy to be honest but lately ive had a pile of this phone stuff start piling up. ppl dont wanna pay much but somethin can be made for sure so maybe, thanks very much for the info i be keepin my ears to the ground! my buddy is tryin to figure the formulas used for imei > puk and imei > unlock. thatd be some handy info to have too. i got this one real nice arc.....nice. boneheads tried random net unlock codes like 200 times before i seen it. shoulda asked about that before i shelled out $5 for a code i had in 2 hrs. lol guess this isnt the place for this discussion tho....
koodos sendin another. easy enough. now. wtf does this rom upgrade to ciaoux's update-openoptimus keep pooching my phones for though. 3 tries.. 3 bricks, never on the actual rom upgrade...but afterwards always force close so i run fix permissions in recovery, followed by the v20g_00 baseband upgrade........this is where it fails everytime. i should note, in the past the lge virtual modem has been present but disabled as required, but not lately. its now always lge android usb modem....i dont think i disabled that guy.....maybe the problem? really leary about running any kdz or lpdm updater now for sure. to call in a 4th time in two weeks with a dead phone my provider is gonna sorta maybe start askin questions......im pretty sure. lol goddam i needa large capacity phone, i haz a 20tb server but only a 512mb capaacity droid phone. messed. ****.
So, there I was, installing a firmware which had been of the lollipop variety, when suddenly my phone shuts off... reboots... completely black screen.
Didn't know what to do, my baby was dead! Started digging around the internet looking for software/something to help my problem... I tried everything possible, every piece of software to reflash my device... it had been destroyed, my partitions were all gone, Qualcomm 9008.
Then I came across Tungkick and seeing a few posts of people saying how he's a scammer etc... I decided to trust him as I'd also read of people sharing success too.
I paid Tungkick $35... within 20 minutes my phone was working and beautiful again. I would highly recommend Tungkick. Absolute life saver and genius.
Best $35 I ever spent and now my G2 is alive and kicking again!
Many thanks Tungkick, hats off to you pal. ?

Wish you luck next time but thats real high a price. I know at least one dev here can help you for free. I once saw him flash 802 stock firmware to his phone (another g2 variant) and his phone was in exact situation like yours. He then saved it easily.
I couldn't access fastboot or even recovery. The phone was a complete brick, mobo replacement or reflashed. Who was the other dev? Would be interesting to know
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
Great story, brah.
So I'm new to this phone modding stuff... I got an Lg G2 for cheap and wanted it on my straight talk and got some assistance with it, it didn't work so I tried T Mobile, now my phone just isn't working.This is what happened:
So I payed a guy to put cyanogenmod on my phone being i didn't know what i was doing. It didn't work on straight talk so a guy on reddit said he could help, he had me do this: http://imgur.com/RNKGJiD That seems to have put an unofficial cyanogenmod on my phone. that didn't work with straight talk so the dude said it would work for t mobile. I spent a bunch of money to bring my own phone to t mobile and it still didn't work! I was able to figure something out with customer service and it worked for about two days then my data stopped working. So i went into the t mobile store and he said my rom was bad, he suggested going back to stock. So the guy who was helping me had me download these https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=12880 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/devd...t/dl/?id=10694 . So I did... my phone just went into an endless loop of booting up to the LG screen again and again for 20 minutes, so i went back into recovery and i tried to restore an old backup, that also went into an endless loop of booting. So I factory reset it, it is still in an endless loop and it wont actually turn on all the way. Is there any way you can help me? I'm like 200 bucks into this and I havent had a phone for a freakin month.. I could really, really use some help.
I know I probably sound like a dummy and people that don't know what they're doing is annoying... I'm pretty tech savvy but phones are outta my scope.. If anyone can help me I would be very very grateful.
Thank you
Seeking Stock Rom for soft bricked LG Sunset LGL33L on Straighttalk.
Hello, I need the help of xda on this one.
I installed kingroot on my LG Sunset (Lollipop) yesterday and everything was fine. Then I ran Super-Su-me and it soft bricked.
It won't get past the LG-Life's Good screen unless I leave it for 3 hours and then it moves to the Tracfone screen and stays like that.
I have searched all over for the stock rom for this phone and have not had any luck.
I am trying to use KDZ_1_4 to flash it but I need the correct .tot file and the .dll file
Can anyone help me on this one?
Thanks.
Anyone?
Tried to factory reset via stock recovery?

I have the same phone and same problem. rooted with kingroot, ran super-sume opened super su it downloaded and said it needed to reboot and in reboot it is stuck on lg screen. tried factory reset but it starts and goes back to lg screen and stays.
I'm in the exact situation as you. Have you been able to solve the issue yet?
I am pretty much having the same problem. My LG Sunset boots to the Tracfone screen and just sits there and does nothing. I cant even boot into recovery or anything.. I hope someone finds a solution to this cause I have not been able to use my phone for a few days.

Hey man, you need to get another phone asap. For tracfones, it's pretty much the end in cases like these. I actually got another exact (lgl21g) model from ebay, so that as soon as i get the time, will see how i can (if possible) get my softbricked device revived through my new one. But i have yet to research and at all costs, avoid softbricking my new one. As for now, no one else has any idea for a solution.
It kinda blows me away to know that the android community is completely oblivious to these kinds of recent low end, but useful android devices coming out on the straight talk service. For affordable androids, they're kinda neat. But it sucks that Tracfone has completely annihilated the essential utilities that such devices need in order to be revived by the user. I mean an actual bootloader menu to do modding and fixing through. The recovery option on these devices are pretty much useless.
But if you can. you should reply with a description that tells how your device was soft-bricked. As in, "did you use kingroot then Super SUME, which caused your device to freeze on LGs boot logo screen"? If so, then you are one of the many out there who xda needs to listen to, and heavily, i mean HEAVILY REGULATE these eff-ers [http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/paid-software/supersu-please-t3110954]. Because they need to specifically do more research into why their S~H~I~T~T~Y app is... well, S~H~I~T~T~Y! There are people out there promoting this app as though it is absolutely flawless and works on any android, but such a claim is far away from the truth, and these crap-app makers are only breeding more effing lying trolls. And sadly XDA mostly supports those big thugs with flagship phones problems ONLY. Not the little people like us, we're kinda on our own. SuperSUME is not supposed to force anything on the phone if it's not compatible, working something like kingroot if not being able to find a root method, then just telling the user it failed. Instead SuperSUME does something that effs it all up. Which is pretty much worse than malicious s/ware by itself.
So just hang on to your broken fone for now since it's not completely lost. Though you can take it into walmart and see if you can get a replacement, but I cannot promise you that i could come up with a solution, since I'm learning this crap from scratch as well. The only lead i have for now is to "Flash the device with it's firmware", which we know tracfone isn't gonna just hand out like free air. Sadly i'll have to reach out to XDA developers to help me once i describe this issue and experiment with whatever software out there that can help, if god willing.
FYI I just saw your post and Straight Talk sent me a new phone lol. Of course I didn't mention that I was trying to root it. The problem was actually McAfee Security. I didn't think about switching the setting off that locks the phone down if it's rooted. I made sure I did that on the new one and KingRoot worked just fine. ?
Hi guys, this might seem like a bit of a noob question so bear with me.
Wife's G4 is stuck in boot loop and is pretty much a paper weight at this point. I've seen the tutorial (link at bottom) about flashing in factory firmware to fix phones stuck in boot loop. Does this pertain to a phone that has never been messed with, and is in boot loop from the LG hardware issues that cause it? Or does it only apply to when you brick the phone from trying to flash custom roms or whatever into it?
The tutorial doesn't really specify if it will fix my issue or if I'm screwed since it's a hardware issue.
Also, I'm using a motorola usb cable, but I've used this same exact cable to connect to the same G4 before to copy pictures and stuff and it has worked. But I absolutely cannot get the phone to connect to the PC in download mode. Any ideas?
http://rootmygalaxy.net/unbrick-lg-g4-with-lg-flash-tool/
http://tool.lime.gdms.lge.com/client/app/LGMobileSupportTool.exe grab this and when you install it click install usb driver. Then, hold volume up and while holding it plug in the usb cable. Hold the button until you see download mode.
If you have never modified the software, then it's almost certainly the known LG hardware issue. You can send it to LG and they will fix it for free, though it will take a bit to get it back.
Well before I did too much more, I decided to try verizon again. The last lady I talked to seemed completely ignorant and not interested in helping at all. This time I ended up talking to a guy who was pretty knowledgeable and understood the issue with these phones. And we also pay for insurance on our phones, which I completely forgot about. So he ended up getting a new G4 overnighted to us at no charge. It showed up yesterday and thankfully booted up without any issue lol. So if nothing else, at least there's a happy end to the saga.
Thank you guys for the responses.
