Can't unbrick Optimus l5

Hello, I ran into a problematic brick on my L5...nothing seems to work to unbrick it.
I followed the guides step by step using the KDZ updater and the appropriate firmware for my country, but it doesn't work.
How I bricked it:
I had CM10 installed and perfectly running for a month, so today I decided to attempt an overclock to speed the device up a bit.
So, I downloaded and installed the modded kernel, flashed it using CWM and rebooted the device. After that, the device just keep booting up, showing the LG logo and then a black screen.
Now, after trying to flash the old firmware after going into download mode it just stops on the LG logo with the flare (sun ray effect) spinning around the logo all the time...It's been like that for almost 30 minutes now. I attempted re-flashing it 3 times but nothing seems to work.
What do I do?
Thank you in advance.

It's bootloop. When I had L5 I had the same problem after flashing bricked phone via KDZ.
Do hard reset with key combination. It worked for me. Phone will boot up few minutes.

Have you tried it:
Hold together volumn (-) + home button, then turn the power on

sorry for the delay, The phone was dead so I send it to the warranty and they send it to LG and then returned working so I just had to reroot it and update it again

so there is no solution to this brick???

This is what I get when I connect the phone by USB.
I just cant get into emergency, DIAG or emergency CS
KDZ the phone connects and then I get a message afterwards PHONE NOT FOUND.
everytime I install the drivers by LG support tool, it keeps giving me the option to install the driver, like I havent done it a hundred times over.
I think there should be a driver somewhere that can be installed but the only people that have this driver are LG tech's. So they can bill you after
send the phone in cause you rooted it. So the one billion dollar question is witch hero will find a way to unbrick this device. We only need a way
to get a driver to install and we are home free. Or maybe the only other option is throwing the phone for sale on internet for spare parts
HELP PLEASE HELP find a way to unbrick this phone. Believe me I flashed and bricked alot of different phones and there was a way out but in
with this phone it seems impossible!!
And there is no mode to put it in in because te volume buttons don't do crap, the home button also, the only time that the phone does show up is when windows tells me it has an unknown device that I for the love of god can't find a driver for. I tried SDK, the LG drivers, but no dice

Did you try emergency mode? (volume up + volume down + power button)
If not, see if you can enter it and then flashing your stock firmware with Software update [KDZ] 1.0.4.4 (KDZ-Flasher).

My P705 in emergency mode and Not being detected by the computer

I installed 10k rooted on my P705 and was about to install a custom recovery, when the phone came on it was in emergency mode but the computer could no longer detect it, I have tried all the usb ports on about 4 computers and changed the cable trice, So I'm a little bit sure it's nothing to do with the pc. I have tried putting it on holding volume + and -. Any help will be really appreciated because I am stuck right now.
I have gone through the forum for like 6 hours, I couldn't find anything , I apologize before hand if this was treated elsewhere.

Did you try flashing your stock firmware with Software update [KDZ] 1.0.4.4 (KDZ-Flasher) while in emergency mode?

Remove the Drivers and plug the phone in our PC.. maybe reinstall the Drivers

yes I did try to flash it but the computer doesn't detect it in the first place. So I get a " no phone found"

thank you but that didn't work either

Just to be clear, you're trying to flash your stock firmware with Software update [KDZ] (KDZ-Flasher), while in emergency mode (your phone in is that yellow emergency mode)?
If so, then maybe try the LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL.
I'm not familiar with it, but I read here that it's an alternative to Software update.

Thanks but Thats not exactly the problem, It DOES NOT READ to begin with. If the laptop could detect the phone, then I would be able to flash "anything". My problem is the laptop cannot detect the phone....

I'm confused - what do you mean by "DOES NOT READ"?
Your wrote that you are getting "no phone found" in Software update [KDZ].
So I asked if this is happening when you are in the emergency mode (your phone screen is kind of yellow and there is "emergency mode" in it).
I also wrote that if you were in emergency mode, then try LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL.

use another computer, maybe a problem with your OS (windows)

Heres the problem, its not detecting, If you can tell me some way to make the laptop detect the phone in emergency mode, I will be extremely grateful, ps kdz equally says no phone found cuz.... the laptop cannot detect the phone and LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL equally cannot find the phone connected to the laptop.

Okay, I got it.
Did you install the latest drivers?
If not, you can do so by downloading and installing them from your support site or by downloading and installing LG PC SUITE.
After that please open device manager and see if there's anything there with an exclamation or a question mark. If there is, please don't continue and post back what it is.
Only when you see that everything is okay, disconnect your phone, turn it off, enter into emergency mode (by clicking volume up + volume down + power button), make sure that you're in emergency mode (the yellow screen), connect your phone, run Software update [KDZ] (KDZ-Flasher), make sure to set the right type (CDMA / 3GQCT), make sure to leave the PhoneMode in DIAG, browse your kdz stock firmware file, and then click on "Lunch software update".
I'll be looking forward for your comment.
Please don't give up!

Same problem here. I downloaded a program called Optimus Toolkit, as I have an Optimus LGl45c, and the program is for
Linux. Same problem- CAN'T SEE PHONE. Program must use ADB, which CAN'T SEE PHONE while it's in emergency mode, as
apparently the correct partition isn't mounted!! Windows KDZ updater sees phone (try the solution from another blog- run in
different compatibility mode: right click on program>properties>compatibility. this worked for me) but the KDZ Updater can't
find the LGMobileDL.dll... lol! wait til you try it!...) So, for he/she who suggested LG PC Suite, please listen. Suite CAN'T SEE
PHONE either, and refuses to run any further....
Anybody have any tricky ways to flash a boot? It would have to be a Linux hack method.....

I think he did not check usb debugging so cant find phone
Not sure if it will work but no harm trying at this stage:
take out batteries,
wait for 30s,
put it back,
hold power and volume down
when keys light up, touch menu button (not the home button)
feel vibrate?

LOL!

K. A couple weeks later- for those of you with l45c:
You will get to the point where you find that LGNPST is the only thing that will flash. Having troubles registering the .dll? That cost me
over a week. Move the dll to your system/lg electronics/lgnpst folder and open the cmd window (terminal screen) as administrator.
Edit: Use the command> regsvr32 "name of dll".dll
You should google the regsvr command, as it is different for 64 bit machines, and there is a different system file to put the dll in..
Trouble is, we have no proper dll for the 45c. I tried the ms690 dll with an ms690 bin. Unfortunately, it flashed all the way through- and
now I have a perma-black screen... so don't try that.
I DO have an LGL45C-CT2 binary.... just no dll for the 45c, as usual. Not that it would matter- LGNPST cant see phone any more than
ADB could- there is no more 'emergency download'. I will check the battery, etc...
Morale of story- once again, there is evidence that the l45c is not supported. It is not an MS690, and probably not a P690... Use
LGNPST at your own risk, but quit pounding your head over other methods! Time wasted...
Until next time... keep hacking....

[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.

Were you using a custom recovery? (i.e. TWRP)? If so, are you able to boot into recovery? It was a few years ago but whenever that happened to me I would have to use the hard reset option. If I remember correctly, on my LGG2, I would hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time until the LG logo appears, then right when it appears, release and re-press both buttons again holding them down again until the hard reset option showed. Then when it asked me if I was sure I wanted to reset my phone, select yes (it made nervous the first ten times or so). Eventually I began to trust it would, in fact, do what I was informed it would do which was boot into TWRP without actually resetting anything. From there I was always able to flash a new ROM etc. Anyway, if you knew all that sorry, just trying to help. If not, please get second opinions since I will not be held responsible for your device and since it's been years since I tinkered with mine. Having a Samsung now, I don't mess with it cause rooting a Samsung Note trips Knox and then Samsung Pay is disabled.
Anyway, happy flashing and best of luck to you. It was an awesome hobby while I was involved with it.
Cheers!

Hard Brick LG Optimus L7 P700

Hey, how are you?
Well, I tell you my problem.
It turns out that some time ago I was damaged and my LG P700 logo with its ROM Stock stuck in me, after that I tried to flahear with the KDZ but when I had been flashing for a while I cut the light and the cell phone stayed on Emergency mode and I turned off the rage and save it a few days ago I connected it to the PC and in the Device Manager it appeared as Unknown Device and it did not turn on neither in Emergency Mode nor in Recovery or in anything, inquiring for this same forum. I realized that it was a Hard Brick and I want to know how to do it with this phone model. I would appreciate all the help possible. On the PC I have Win 10 Pro and I have the latest LG drivers and the Unknown Device still appears in the Device Manager.
I have tried all the possible combinations, I charged the battery completely with a universal charger, I have left the phone connected to the PC more than 5 hours, I have kept the power button on the phone for around 15 minutes and none of them has worked for me. Please help me.
Excuse my English, I'm from Venezuela and well
