no, i bought it off my friend cuz he hated wm7
"Try holding down Up+Down volume, then power up. If that doesn't work use a third finger to hold down the camera button, too." Have you tried that? Also i would try re-downloading the firmware file and the tool. As you said you are running out of ideas. i would maybe even try another computer if possible.

to my almost similar step, all this well, until after the upgrade. every time that has a work of a lot of capacity and it lasts a time in use he/she fades and it restarts.
when it arrives to a point that warms it turns off and it is with the logo to ascend and it doesn't ascend unless it removes him the battery.
I returned him to the origin state and you are formed it and the problem remained.
I returned with the node and it follows the problem, not you that it will be. not you that it recommends me and the same as the partner.
buy it for new ebay.

did the volume down + power +camera button and got to a message saying "cold boot" and froze there
Sounds like a brick or semi brick maybe. Have you tried to use another computer? Or redownload the tool and firmware?

Have there been any updates to this issue? My phone was bricked during an update. I was able to successfully flash the factory ROM, but it was bricked again during the Mango update through Zune. I have tried reflashing the factory ROM as well as the Mango ROM, but my phone keeps freezing at the LG boot screen each time the flashing is complete.
I attempted the hard reset holding the volume and camera buttons, but that just makes my phone freeze with the words "Cold Boot" on the screen. I don't understand why flashing different ROMs is resulting in this same issue.
I was having problems with my Quantum(not related), and att was sending me a Lumia replacment. Before I got rid of the phone I tried to flash the Tesla ROM to see if it worked since my wife also has a Quantum, but didn't want to experiment on hers... I noticed I could not get into download mode using the power/vol keys(only would go into cold boot). I had to use the spacebar on the keyboard while turning it on to get into the correct emergency download mode.

Bootloader mode:
1) Press the Light Button
2) Press the power button
(silver thing at the bottom)
3) Press something into the reset button and hold for 2-5 seconds
If this does not work READ the Wiki
Good luck,

Yes i am very sure, As i have previously installed many ROMS on it but this time its not even going into bootloader mode.
I doubt that the bootloader mode itself is currupted or something is there a way to install a fresh bootloader mode ?
Kindly help me out its been a month i havnt used my phone now.,using a Motorola W220 ,from jasjar to w220 is not a very good feeling guys. please sort my problem i dont have anyone to guide me here.

Yes, that's the funny part; can enter bootloader mode. I've followed the instructions to burn a new ROM to the SD card. After I burn the new ROM to the SD card, I can then burn the new ROM, but as soon as I choose to hard reboot my device, I receive a message reading; CLEARING, then the display fades and nothing further happens.
I will post this answer in the other threads with this problem, but I installed Tomal's WM6.1 v8.2 and the phone worked fine afterward. I think the problem is that some phones don't accept all ROMS.
If only i could enter bootloader mode i would have tried whichever rom you would have suggested but my problem is different i cant even enter Bootloader mode.
And i think only a service center can help me nothing else.
Hi!
My device as similar behavior.
After a failed upgrade at 99%.
It don't Start , can't go to Boot Loader mode.
When I connect to Windows give me usb not recongnized.
Try to flash with orginal ROM, Even "usb not recognized but it gives a comunication error...
and stop's.
Did you manage to put your device in bootloader mode ?
I try ever possible combination of keys and no luck...

Hello there...Welcome to the club bro...
Funny thing is i gave my phone to a Local service center and he was able to get it in Bootloader mode but couldnt install a proper ROM as he didnt had one...so i got my problem fixed and i sold my jasjar two days ago for 5000/- Indian Rupees...Thats around $105 .
I have promised myself that i will NEVER buy an Imate as they dont have proper service centers here in my place.I am planning to get Sony X1 now
My suggestion to you...get it repaired and sell it before it gets messed up again.,its a very delicate and very pain in the @$$ phone.Im so happy now ^.^

so far it seems i do, tried a update, and still does the same thing
it would be fine if i didnt have a custom boost animation in the system/media
i still have 12 more days warrenty.
is there a way to delete it via computer?
not sure if anyone knew about the hard reset, i contacted acer and played dumb, though i told them what happened.
i was instructed to
Power down the device
hold Vol Up + Power for 3 sec
continue holding Vol up, and keep switch the screen lock back and forth until "erasing cache" comes up on the acer screen
at which point you stop and let it run its course.
said it would take 30 minutes. i fell asleep, 2hrs later i checked it, still same. recontacted acer, another tech said to do the default hard restart with the push pin
worked like a charm
in process of rooting, installing CWM and making backup lol

Did you get it from a local retail location? If so, I would just march back there with my receipt and not give too many details - i was working on a picture and it broke and I have no idea what is wrong, etc - they should just give you a new one.
Have you tried clearing the cache? There is a combo with holding power / volume up when booting and using the rotation lock switch, not quite sure how it is done but i think you just hold both and flip the switch like mad - totally sure I have seen the process posted here somewhere.
If you got it via online order, you still should be able to just return it.
Or call acer - they might be able to work some magic.
Best of luck, hope you get it going or at least get a new one. Really sounds like you have a defective unit, I rooted mine the day after I bought it, have had it for nearly two months and multiple rootings/unrootings/rom flashes and have had no issues at all.
Hello,
This morning I tried to root my phone so that I can force everything to be moved to a sd card since the storage of the system is low not enough to install apps and to install A mod that is more updated then the current GingerBread OS.
I managed to soft brick the device the rom clearly said e405 obviously the developer has a few bugs anyway I manage to recover from my soft brick by A software 'KDZ' Only issue I have now is when I press volume up on boot I get A notice icon trying to say something (image of the icon is attached below) and when I use ROM Manager to reboot to recovery it will attempt to go there, Instead of going to recovery it goes to A loading page then this erases all my data/apps except SuperUser/Root.
Tried everything and it still does it?
When I use the LG Emergency Software it just goes to a page saying not responding??
Any help and ideas would be grateful so I can fix this issue and move on also im mostly A samsung user and im fairly new to lg.
See thee error message below
Once i get the idea of what the icon is actually trying to say I should be in the right direction.
Thanks,

I saw that icon after flashing back to stock rom with KDZ and a hard reset worked for me. Pull the battery, make sure you not connected to USB or charger, then press and hold home key and down volume while you press power on. Release power when you see LG logo, hold the down and home for a while until you see android unpacking a box. It takes about a minute to see this, so you gotta wait for it. The phone reboots or shut downs, don't rememberwhich

Ok I will try that and let you know if it works in a few hours I gave the phone to my brother for free since I bought A samsung (used to samsungs and love then
Anyway should also mention that when I try to reboot into recovery with rom manager it reboots goes to the loading box thing then it wipes my data Like i said I tried that method in a few hours and get back to you here.
nope
didn't work ;.(
Man go to the screen u have posted the images above , then use KDZ to flash back Man!
This is "DIAG MODE" so select it in KDZ program
So select KDZ file ( download if u have tried urs so far)
No error .. when u click to start upgrade ur phone will apper in emergency mode. Then the KDZ will flash flawslessly
Sent From ... Lg e400 <-- {[Brasilian Here]}
Still didnt work it flash though but still didnt fix the recovery..
These lg are actually useless a simple firmware flash should do the job.
LG staff are also rude to be honest rang up and because I tried to root and I was doing the right thing going back to stock they denied support and hang up without me giving A reply. Glad ive switched back to samsung s4 and Apple IPhone 5C.
Thanks for attempting to help :.)
Hi all,
I've received my S7 Edge today(Exynos), yay.
All was working flawlessly until few moments ago, I was running 3Dmark, and before I even start to bench, while i was downloading the first scene The screen goes all black, then after 10 seconds, there's a message on top (in the same way a rooted phone would display "kernel is not seandroid enforced..."):
Bootloader Exception
[RST_START = 0x100000000 ]
[...]
Exception: do_handler_serror: SERROR(esr: 0xbf00000000)
[...]
I didn't install any rom, root or else, it's pure stock untouched. I tried to reboot phone using volume down+power, it reboots I think (screen goes all black) but quickly the same message appears...
I'm surely going to call phone operator to tell them that phone is KO, but if one of you guys has any idea that would avoid me to send back phone to warranty, it would be nice
Thanks !
@mods : Sorry for posting in wrong section
Try this...

I'd suggest a factory reset if the above fails.
Hold Power + Volume Up + Menu
Then use the volume keys to scroll to factory reset and select using menu or power buttons.
Hi guys,
Thanks very much for you answers,
Unfortunately any key combination is not working can't get into recovery nor download mode ...
I don't want to try Odin, scared about potential warranty issues ... but it kills me to have to send the phone back to sammy and wait ..

The phone must be off for the Volume Up + Power + Home button combination to work. Keep those pressed for like 10 seconds, even after the phone powers on. I just tried it on my S7 Edge (which drops every call) and could restore to factory settings (but didn't solve the issue).

Unfortunately, even with this combination and a lot of patience I cannot manage to "bypass" this Bootloader error ...

Yep, I wanted to avoid it, but I don't see other reasonnable option. The phone didn't last more than 24h ... ok, it happens, I know ...
My previous (Still actual (sic)) Phone was a Note 3 and I installed so much roms, soft bricked the device so many times, but I could always restore it ... But not the S7 EDGE ... And I didn't spot any other user with same bootloader issue...
I've just sent back the phone for replacement, Thanks for all who replied to me in this thread
Oh and by the way : don't download 3DMark from play store , it will Hard brick your phone !!! (haha just kidding , i know it's not what caused my phone to die, I'm sure of it , however I won't try to install it anymore i think^^ )
Cheers XDA crew !!

Sorry to hear that bro
Try things to troubleshoot if you wanna, but my advice : don't lose one day of trying to fix it, send it back directly to warranty...
I tried lot of things, key combination to reboot phone in recovery or download, I tried Kies, Odin, ADB....
I believe it's a real samsung bug that will happen to many people, So send it now before sammy is drowned under hard bricked S7 phones and start to have issues to provide replacement devices....
the S7 edge is getting a "urgent" update on approx 3mb..maybe this is a fix of some sort.

That is to correct the Screen Edge sensitivity
For anyone else who runs into this issue, I managed to fix my phone.
Holding the power and VOL down buttons for about 5-10 seconds will reboot the phone; if you hold home at the same time you can get into download mode (might take a couple tries).
From there, you can flash a new bootloader (BL option in odin) and then get back into recovery to do whatever you need to do.
Went from soft-brick to full restore in about ten minutes--not even a factory reset necessary.
Hope this helps!
Hey Guys,
I have a dead phone(kind of). All it displays is
"Have been in Factory Mode. long press power button and Normal boot"
And in very tiny font, there is a line saying
"=>Tool DL Image Load Fail!"
This stays for a few seconds then it turns off, and repeat, again the same this comes up on the screen.
What I have tried:
1) Flash the stock ROM using SP Flash Tools several times
2) Cleaned the power button from the inside a bit, because some thread said there might be a sticky button.
Flashing with SP Flash Tools shows that the flash is successful, but it didn't help.
EDIT: Now it displays something as "eFuse blow: Success". Damn!

Hey, Thank you for replying.
Have tried that method, its just the same thing, but now it is not displaying that tiny line.
Now it goes into the factory mode and shows some options in Chinese. And it stays there till i select something.
The last option, i know is "Reboot To Phone" (Via Google Translate).

Tried to flash TWRP through SP, it returns an error:
ERROR: S_SECURITY_SECURE_USB_DL_IMAGE_SIGN_HEADER_NOT_FOUND(6045)
MSP ERROR CODE:0x00.
Make sure volume + button is not pressed.
During boot can you boot in to stock recovery,
press POWER BUTTON + VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN until Lenovo logo appear, then continue press VOLUME UP + VOLUME DOWN
Thanks all. I somehow got it to work... and now my phone is all good.
As crazylife told, there was some hardware issue. Apparently, there was a tini-tiny bit of a circuit which, due to water allegedly, got short. I had it cleaned by some local phone shop.( He also claimed that the phone work anyway ,though). After that i flashed the stock rom, and it worked.
And btw, how do i mark the thread solved?
Hi, even I'm stuck with the same problem.

Hi, even I'm stuck with the same problem.
Even the lenovo service center guys raised their hands saying it's an hardware problem and I've to replace the entire PCB to slove the issue. Could you be more specific on how to resolve this issue? if possible could you please let me know at which place you got your mobile fixed? Thanks

I had a problem with the Motherboard due to water getting in, and apparently it caused a short-circuit near the power button module. Actually speaking, I was really dissatisfied with the kind of service the Lenovo guys give to its customers, because first they told me that they will clean, and claimed that the board must be changed. The only thing which needed to be done in my phone was to clean that part of the board with White Petrol(you can ask the local mobile shop guys, they will have it, but just be careful). That solved my problem. And thanks to few threads, i got it working.
P.S: I am from Hyderabad, so had it solved here in a local shop.
Hi, Thanks for your reply. Was able to come out of that situation after 3 days, but had left my mobile with the local service center for 2 days (At the time, when i took my mobile from service center, my mobile was not working, was informed that the mobile is dead) I thought of giving a last try and plugged in the charger on 3rd day it started working . My mobile had a new problem display was broken (from inside) and speakers were not working, when i asked that guy his reply was " how can i know, your mobile was dead, when u brought in hear, my job was to fix it, why will i break it?" though my mobile was back to normal I had to pay a huge price of display and speakers. Hope everyone got to know the take away from my story. Crazy world; lesson learnt.

Hey!
My phone had some water damage issue, hence the loop. Opened the phone and cleaned it a bit. Yours might be different problem, try flashing stock firmware, or going into fastboot mode and flashing recovery. Currently don't have this phone so can't help that much.

Oh. Yes my phone too got wet in rain. I went to some shop and they helped me out. But thanks to you I realize that it was repairable and that too without loosing any data. Thanks so much for saving my thousands of ruppees that'd have been wasted to get a new phone. Also yes this model in general is pretty old so I can understand that most of the people don't use it anymore. Again thank you very much for saving all the stuff I had on this phone and the money. ??
