Bricked phone ?

Hi,
I tried to upgrade from v2.1 to new Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread For LG Optimus GT540 and I followed instructions exactly, but I am stuck at number 8, I did this:
8- Now click “Launch software update”, DO NOT USE THE PC TO THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. THE PHONE WILL REBOOT WHEN FINISHED THE PROCESS IN KDZ. (The process takes about 15 minutes in KDZ).
and about 2 minutes text log writes and stopped, I am now waiting more then 40 minutes my phone didn't reboot. On display is still written download mode, what should I do now ?
In kdz is written:
3GQCT: wParam = 205. IParam = 36
p.s.
I disconnected phone from usb and pull out battery and now I cannot turn on phone, I tried to push vol down + power for 5 sec.
Any idea what should I do now? I hope I didn't brick my phone

What programs are you using?
What are you using to update your phone and have you tried taking out your SIM, SD card and battery then turned it on with the USB cable?

I used KDZ updater and tried to install CyanogenMod7 (2.3.5) @ GT540 Swiftdroid2 RC3 by Mur4ik. if that is what you ask ?
I removed sim card and battery also, then tried to turn it on while plugged in to computer usb but no response from phone, I can't turn it on
p.s. I am using win 7 64 bit OS

If you can't get into download mode, then it's game over I'm afraid. What you will need to do is return the phone back to where you bought it. This happened to me some time ago. But the Carphone Warehouse were happy to fix it (even though I had voided the warranty but don't tell them that ). Don't say that you tried to mod the phone, say something like 'I installed LG's PC Suite and it said my device had a software update. I went along with it, but it gave me an error half way through. Now my phone won't turn on at all' It might just work!

I had the same problem when modding with kdz.
completely bricked my phone, but was able to fix by putting kdz into emergency mode instead of diag and updating with a fastboot stock rom,
it would stop after 2 minutes and give me and error but it managed to get fastboot onto my phone,
(camera + power)
then just flashed the fastboot method with adb and everything was fine,
my problem was something to do with lg modem drivers i believe,
I read a thread that said to disable the lg virtual modem. (didnt
work for me)
pretty noob myself
but the above method worked for me,
not sure if this can do anymore damage to the phone

have a look at this is u get it into emegancy mode.
On the kdz updater instead of 3GQCT put into emergancy

If you have tried flashing with Cm7 you might be lucky,
try holding camera button and powering on the phone, a black screen should come up thats fastboot.
if that comes up u should be able to just reflash following mur4iks instruction
if not try what i said in my last post and reflsh with phone type 3QGCT and PhoneMode EMERGENCY
again only going of how i fixed my bricked phone

He was trying to flash a fastboot rom (to install CM7) but bricked his device in the process. So he can't flash CM7-.-

Yeah I know that but I mean when I got the error he has, I flashed with a stock 2.1 fastboot rom With Diag changed to EMERGENCY and was able to get on to fastboot mode (camera+power), I got the error again as i was flashing but the phone would load fastboot and not start up
If he can get lucky and get into fastboot like i did, a simple:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
should fix his problem or did i just get lucky?
sorry if im confusing thinks here, but this is how i fixed mine. which was also dead and not turning on

Well like i told you im a noob at this myself (Android phone flashing atleast)
I suppose it would be good to see if you got fastboot??
Power on the phone while holding camera button (hold the camera button until the screen goes black) if you can get fastboot you can just follow the fastboot flash instructions after fastboot -w
if not on kdz in the top right were it says DIAG, Change this to CS_EMERGENCY,Click Launch update and flash again with a stock fastboot rom
after THIS see if the phone loads or boot loops(had this once too) or loads fastboot
Il try look to find the thread i read on another forum for troubleshooting kdz it helped me alot
EDIT: http://android.modaco.com/topic/321895-faqgt540-reference-thread/ try some of the troubleshooting tips at the bottom of the O.P
I basicly aimed to get fastboot working so make sure your flashing with a stock FASTBOOT! rom
again im new to this im just saying what got my phone back to life

I bricked my phone and I tried it again after getting it back from lg

I'm new here and to having a Smartphone, I've just been given an LG Android GT540 which is at version 1.6. The LG site tells me I can upgrade to 2 something or other, sorry can't remember the exact number and gives instructions on how to do the upgrade, but I'm a bit on the cautious side as I don't want to brick it, not this early on in owning my first Smartphone.
I'll be reading a lot of the posts here to try and find out as much as I can before I attempt to do this.

Well don't worry if it's official update. But if you some how brick your phone just tell lg the update bricked your phone and we are talking about unofficial updates

I've got phone today from service (not official LG service), repairman just manage to wake up phone so I can turn it On, but when I turn it I get black screen with message on it ''download mode''. Now computer recognize phone when I plug it, and I tried to update or flash it with kdz updater but have no luck
I launch kdz in emergency mode, load rom with updater, press launch button, and process started, (get messages unpacking software etc.) but after 3-4 minutes I notice that computer is blocked I couldn't do anything with mouse pointer, and I waited 15 minutes but computer is still blocked, even time on computer is stopped. I tried this procedure few times, every time it is same. Also tried to disable lg virtual modem in device manager. Any idea what I could do ?
p.s. repairman in service told me that he tried it to flash it with riff box, process started but after few minutes if stopped and blocked his riff box

does your phone come-up with blank (black but backlit) screen ?
if it does then you will be able to use kdz updater in attached link LG-RDTT_1.0.5.4 (needs included windows enabler for this version)
use THIS GUIDE to flash just skip the hosts file editing steps
and let us know
LG-RDTT_1.0.5.4

Install LG PC Suite, the LG Mobile Support Tool and the LG L7 USB driver. Then try again. Make sure your phone is set on 3GQCT and EMERGENCY on KDZ.

Before you install a ROM, you're recommended to wipe data.
Bootloops can occurs in many ways, if you can logcat your problem, maybe we can help you.

Fixed fully bricked phone LG G2 d802 32GB

Lg g2 D802 32GB
Got my phone bricked once when trying to install lollipop rom.
After successfuly restoring it and getting the 16GB error and fixing it I restored to stock 4.2.2 and in recovery accidently installed the KK bootloader and rebooted instead of installing the rom.
No download mode.
No recovery.
First phone booted and then the screen turned off and was only sounds (Booting in, connecting to pc, etc.)
Now nothing.
the only thing I managed to enter is the Hard button mode....
I tried every forum,thread,files,method mentioned exept the "Open the phone to pieces and tinker with it" method mentioned here somewhere.
If there is some hope for me before going to a repair shop and hopefully someone there smarter than me and can actually fix it... would really appreceate every advice you might have on the matter.
Thank you.
I here by declare the LG g2 D802 32GB UNbrickable
What I did to fix it.
Some of it I dont understand...
My specs:
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Ubuntu 64bit on Vmware
lg g2 drivers(mixed, I had pdanet drivers, adb drivers so not sure which)
What i did:
1- adb devices on windows
Seen what I have in the picture
adb reboot recovery/bootloader/reboot/fastboot
Until I saw some writings and phone entered this state:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142
Using this files:
(because its a 32GB variant) in ubuntu I did the instructions
http://www.mediafire.com/download/3qyac22qat2aucj/D802_20B32GB.zip
then unplugged phone
Fully power off
Hold volume up button

Stay calm buddy, LG G2 is unbrickable, I had the same problem, I thought that I have bricked it, but fix was simple, I had only download mode, but KDZ restore stucked, what I did was just wait some time, cause LG flash tool has some problems with loading files, it just takes some time, so load it from your folder(kdz) , then wait some time and after that just start it, then you have to be patient cause it takes some time, I experienced some errors too, so just dont unplug it and wait, relax, it works
I have D802 32gb czech version
I flashed v30a Italy version and it works
just flash the right version

No it doesn't, i have ADB, i know how to use it, i already saved one D800 that was in Fastboot.
Problem is, i used the debrick method, i succeeded, but now the device is recognized as LG but the screen stays black. It's acting a bit weird, it flashes with LG FLASH TOOL, although i believe it's not even in Download mode, but the screen keeps staying black.

Stuck at logo

[Q] Bricked my LG G2 need help

Hello XDA-Community
Today i accidently briked my G2 (D802 KitKat 4.4.2). I was flashing it because i wanted to unroot it but during the process an error showed up and my phone was dead.
So i tried to fix it with this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48765620#post48765620 but it didn't worked as planned.
Now i have an G2 which is stuck in a bootloop and i can't even reach the recovery or the download mode and i don't have any custom recovery installed.
Anyone who can help me with this get's an 10€/$ PSC. I can't give more because i dont have any money left (16 years old).
Big thanks to everyone who can help me with this
PS: Sorry for my bad english i'm not a native speaker

While you wait for an answer make sure your phone is kept charged.
Have you tried LG flashtool and your stock ROM?

make sure it's off, hold the VOLUME UP button while plugging it into your computer, and that should get it into download mode.
Next try using the TOT method (google it) and voila!

Yeah the problem is that i can't even reach the download mode and my computer doesn't recognize my phone it's just an qshub device. ;(

I had the same issue bricking my lg g2 and i was stuck with the logo and nothing more not even download mode,recovery etc...
The way i got it to stock was i installed the lg g2 drivers and from there on just flashed it with flashtools kdz and got it workking again i think this shoould help you out just plug your phone and install the drivers and use flashtools

Install this driver then report me back or cap screen device manager to me.I will help you for fee.
