So I'm pretty sure i softbricked my phone when I was trying to flash http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42841443&postcount=4459. I wiped /data, /cache, /dalvik cache, and /system and I in my stupidity did not make a backup. Unfortunately, it gave me an installation aborted error and soft bricked my phone. Can't even go into recovery now, only emergency mode, But it always crashes when I'm trying to flash a kdz. I uploaded the log given if it helps. Please help because I really need this phone.
Btw, I was trying to downgrade from cm10.1 because I got a new phone and my mom wants this phone stock.

KDZ often crash on windows 7 or 8 it was maked for XP, from proprieties select compatibility and windows xp servce pack 3

Hi guy's
I have a few questions I'm really hoping someone could help or point me in the right direction..
I have looked for answers for a couple of days now when I had some free time but haven't found anything.
1. My brother's GT5-40 OPTIMUS is stuck on the android screen. Prior to it happening it was sitting idle. Would a hard reset fix this?
2. He would like to upgrade from 2.1 to maybe GB is it possible? And where can I find the correct thread to do this?
3. Is there anything I can do to optimize battery power?
I hate to annoy everyone with my questions but I'm new to this kind of thing I've only just started flashing my xu and exploring these things so don't have much to go on and would be grateful for any help at all.
Thanks for looking.

you don't provide much info , but first, can you get phone connected to pc ? (example in download mode)
if you can then flash from kdz update is possible. (use this tutorial : link , if no go then try different phonemodes in kdz updater)
Hi
I can get into download mode but nothing else. I tried to flash in kdz bit didn't work for me all the modems seem to sit idle. What other info would be helpful? Sorry I'm in unknown territory with this.
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
It's been over a year since I've used KDZ, but if not mistaken you have to use fastboot (power on while holding camera) with KDZ. If you can get into fb mode you can try to get KDZ to work. If the modems remain idle you may need to reinstall drivers. If you can get to fastboot you can resolve your problem. G'luck

Can't get into fb mode I did try a few times. I guess I've hit a wall with this.

fb is not visible , it apperas as black screen ,, but you can confirm that with cable connected to usb (in androidsdk : "fastboot devices" )
also, try that method : unplug usb from phone,power off device (eg. battery out, to be sure), put kdz updater ready, and then plug usb cable and immedetly start kdz updateing... (i remember, i've had same problem and then somehow i've got it working with that method)
also try several times.
also, i cant understand why kdz updater doesn't work in download mode , are you sure that u have all drivers installed correctly ? tried several modes in kdz updater ? (cs_emurdiance and etc.)

I'll give it a try and report back. I really appreciate this. Kdz didn't seem to work I will double check all the drivers etc and see if I've missed something.
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app
So I tried fb mode, nothing like what you describe happens when I attempt to get into fb mode. I double check that all kdz drivers were there -one was missing so when I got that I was intact able to flash the phone, but it made no difference, I get the LG logo on start up then it goes to the android screen and no further. When I try fb mode following your instructions I get the boot up as described above, I tried it a few times but always the same result.

Try my script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856553
See if the device has fastboot on it, try Volume Up+Search+Power or Volume up+Camera+Power (Let go of power when powered up and let go of other buttons when in black screen or if it says 'Fastboot Mode').
You need to install the drivers, look on google.
If there is no fastboot then your only luck is Hyper Terminal and KDZ Updater. (KDZ Updater for flashing and Hyper Terminal for wiping (That is why the device will not boot))
And of course you need to be in download mode (VolDown+Power)

Right so use hyperterminal yo wipe the data then go ahead with the rest of it. I will try this method and see what happens, the only other thing is that I can't get into fast boot mode at all, I have tried lots of times and nothing happens, can I safely do this in download mode?

Managed to flash full factory image.
When I flashed 4.3, its stucked at "Android is upgrading.... Starting Apps" screen.
When I flashed 4.2 its managed to boot successfully but I don't get the network coverage.
When i try to search network its "Error in searching network".
The baseband version is stated as unknown.
Reflash 4.3 and wait for the installation to finish. If it gets stuck on "Android is upgrading" just restart the phone. This time use THIS toolkit. it has always worked for me.
Me too did try flashing 4.3 again and again twice but still stuck up with x screen.

I too had this problem with my Nexus 4. I flashed the factory image (I tried with Android 4.2 and 4.3) with fastboot and I got exactly the same errors as you. I finally sent back my device to Google, the new one should arrive next week. I have no idea what can cause this problem :/
This thread is old, but if you have a problem with booting, you don't have to go unlocking bootloader and flashing anything if it can be fixed by just going into stock recovery and wiping cache or factory reset (you will lose apps data, but not data in your phone storage.)
Hold Power + Volume Down when the phone is off to go into "fastboot mode". Then use the Volume keys to navigate to Recovery. In there, press some combination of buttons of Volume and Power to bring up the menu (I forgot what the combination is, just fiddle around), then you can wipe cache or factory reset.
If even factory reseting doesn't help, you might need to unlock bootloader and flash factory firmware, but if you unlock the bootloader it will wipe the phone entirely and you will lose all your data. You can try to boot the phone and connect it to your PC, even if it doesn't boot fully there might be a chance MTP is loaded so you can copy files off.

You should do a factory reset in recovery before flashing. Follow the instruction here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010312, and make sure you use the correct firmware image when flashing it.
My phone was great until I tried flashing the hellfire ROM. It told me that it couldnt flash bc it was D801 and not G2. Idk what it meant bc all other D801 ROMS flashed successfully. Anyway I tried to factory reset after that and it says it cant mount data or something like that. Now I only get the LG screen. When I try to go into download mode to flash the correct kdz file in flash tool to reset the entire thing back to stock it stays on the screen that says download mode and has the blue dots. And when I try to run the program through windows and the flash tool it tells me that the phone isn't connected to the PC. Can anybody please help me? Oh and I have TWRP recovery installed but all my backups are gone all of a sudden,.I can't do anything with this phone....!!! Thanks to anyone who can help.

someone help please, me too have the same issue please.
Just boot into twrp and select install zip from sideload. Connect the phone to pc. Go to your adb folder and type
adb sideload .zip*(for example:adb sideload update.zip)
Be patient, you got to wait until adb has copied your zip to the phone. Then the actual flashing will start. So leave the phone untouched for like 15minutes and wait till it's done.
This way you can flash the phone in a working state and then kdz again.
Don't forget to wipe all before flashing and factory reset afterwards.

Hey guys, im unable to unroot. even before the uptest.exe have reached 100% my phone has already booted up. when i enter download mode again, it says it is still rooted. anyone knows how to solve this?
only way to get rid of rootes status in download mode is to flash the stock rom via the way to return to stock lgg2. Its a thread somewhere on this forum.
even then sometimes it survives that flash. Then factory reset and try again. also try the lg software from lg with the repair recovery option

Man, it IS unrooted, it just says it isn't in DL mode, try doing a factory wipe, Then flash the stock KDZ again, that should hopefully put it back to unrooted :good:
Also, the phone reboots at about 70% in the up test exe, if you look at the device it is at 100% while the flash tool is only at around 70%, don't worry that is normal.
yeah instead of that use the official lg flash tool. or try again, as sometimes with flashing it is maintained.

Uptest is LG's official tool, when you run uptest.exe it opens up the LG Mobile support tool, which flashes the KDZ to your device.
EDIT: sorry, i know what you mean now. I didn't know you could revert to stock with JUST the lg support tool from LG's site, i thought you had to have the uptest program :good:
when I download, install and run that tool I dont run uptest.exe, but the tool itself.

I've flashed a new ROM on my LG G2 (D802) 16 GB and now I'm in big trouble but maybe there's some help in the XDA-Forum?
Here are the facts:
- G2 starts and takes few seconds and then restarts
- Got no CWM Recovery etc.
- Installed the orig D80210A Firmware via Flash Tool
- Can flash anything via LG Mobile Flash Tool
- Can boot into download mode
- CAN NOT ACTIVATE DEVELOPER MODE (nothing happens while ticking on the Build-Number)
- Got NO IMEI (got a EFS Backup via ioroot but without developer Mode I cannot communicate with the G2 via USB-Debugging)
- Facory Reset doesn't change anything
- No network and no GSM (I think cause of the missing IMEI)
Can anybody help?
You need to first download the kdz and lg flash utility with drivers.
Install drivers
The factory reset deleting system, cache, internal sd.
Then shutdown your g2.
Start to downloaded mode connecting your g2
Flash kdz & voila... Done
I too bricked my phone before. My flashing stuck at 49%. Recovered using above method, all is well now
This works 1000%. I bet on it. Just remember to wipe the phone completely before flashing. You will return to stock with unrooted status in download mode. U will have your warranty back too

I've done this 10 times this morning. But I flashed the new kdz file and made the factory reset after flashing. Maybe it will work the other way? Gonna try it tomorrow but don't think this will change anything.
I've got the 49 % thing a few weeks before and the only thing needed was to change the COM Port to 41.
