[Q] [HELP] LG GT540 Totally bricked!

Hi everyone. i take my friends lg gt540 last night to install the cm7 rom so i folow the instructions in that page and when kdz starts flashing stucks and gives to me a error. trying to get phone to download mode but the phone was dead no download mod kdz cant find the phone couse is like no battery connected. i follow all instructions in modaco everything. the prob is that i cant get the phone to download mode even drivers are installed even connected from back to usb port.
please dont tell me that i must take it to lg for fixing it. no waranty he bought it from a tourist really cheap nm.
maybe solution is to find a way to get to download mode.(volume down+power doesnt work,volume down+usb cable doesnt wok,no charger signal)
thank you (sry for my english)!

try using KDZ emergency mode maybe will work.. I forgot about how to flash KDZ since I dont use it much

try putting it on CS_EMERGENCY,this is for non working phones. do you hear sound when you connect your phone to pc?

i try everything in a net coffee installing lg drivers only and used the instructions. yesterday i install and lg program disable modem still no luck. so if phone just doing that noise means that is connect it but how must kdz find the phone if the phone is not installed. (i mean not the lg drivers but the phone when is in usb debaging smth is installed in pc from phone) i search everywhere and everybody can get to download screen exept me grrr is not my phone orelse i will throught it from the window. so if the the noise is ringing means is connectid no need for download screen? thanks you and sry for my english!

you need that sound and download mode unfortunately. try installing new drivers and new KDZ and try again. if not take it to the LG service. do you have recovery installed?

as far as i know its power + camera button.
Hold them down until backlight comes on. If you need it fixed by LG just lie about what happened. Dont tell them it died when you were installing a custom rom. Also from what i understand you cant get it to even turn on in any way? Or connect to a computer?

Probably your phone is bricked.
try the following,
1. take the battery out once and put again (to make sure its off)
2. connect the usb cable to phone and connect to your system
2. press vol up + vol down + home button + power button at the same time for few seconds and you can hear a beep sound from your system and can see that windows found new hardware and will install drivers now continue installing original firmware using odin.
hope this helps.
message me if you need more information.
Note: Ofcourse its your risk am just trying to help you

[Q] [L7][P700][Bricked] Hard bricked Optimus L7 P700

Hey guys,
Yesterday I tried unlocking my phone using the tools provided on this forum, but somehow my device got hard bricked.
It is just laying there with a black screen. It won't turn on, won't boot into recovery or emergency mode. Nothing.
But when I connected it to my PC (running Windows 7), I did hear the sound that it recognised it as a device, it just couldn't find any drivers for it, so I wen't to look into that.
Landed on the debricking method using QPTS on the CyanogenMod forums and I managed to find drivers for Windows 7, so no need for an XP computer!
There were some other Optimus L-series brickers who gave up on the process, but I have still some hope left.
Did all the work that had to be done, decompiled V20D KDZ for our device, converted the first 512 bytes of the partition.bin to .mbn, installed QPTS, and so forth.
Hooked up my phone to the pc holding the volume-down button, and QPTS actually recognised it as a phone in downloading mode!
Then that's where I got stuck. Using the HEX files from this thread, I get the following error:
Code:
Status: Software Download Aborted
Errors: Could not determine the HEX file's scrambling method. The file is invalid.
Do any of you have a clue on how get things working again?
The QPTS tool only lists MSM7x30 (eMMC) as ARMPRG to use for the phone in dowload mode, not the MSM7x27a we are using. Might this be part of the problem?
Any help is highly appreciated!

Can you go to emergency or download mode?
Battery taken out, hold the vol up + connect to usb, connected to the pc. Then you will see in a green screen with emergency mode.
Once your done that, be sure you installed the LG drivers, flashed through kdz.
You can use homero's v20 stock, it's already had cwm and unlock bootloader and v20 baseband.

Nope, can't get into emergency mode, screen stays black, no matter what. So yeah, just flashing a new KDZ isn't an option. :crying:

Does the kdz flasher recognized the phone? If it's turn on and connected to the PC.

You should try launching emergency mode some more. Install lg drivers. Take out battery, hold Vol up button and plug in usb. Make sure port works.

Thanks for the replies, guys!

I can't turn the device on. When I connect it to the PC, Windows sees the phone as an 'Unknown Device', even with the latest LG drivers installed.
And by KDZ flasher you mean the BC2App, right?

Tried it a dozen times, with different combinations too. Only thing that happens is the sound windows makes when a device is plugged in.

Any chance a method like this would work? If the .img.zx file would be edited for our device ofcourse.

Hey all,
I couldn't get any further debricking my phone myself, so I just brought it to a repair shop. I'm hoping they can do something using JTAG or something.
Regardless of getting my phone working again (hopefully), I would still love to see if we can find a way to debrick hard bricked devices. If we can find a solution, I'll volunteer for writing a tutorial

bricked phone, tried everything

Ok, I've put my flame suit on, but I swear I have tried everything. I am not a developer level guy by any means, but I've been installing custom roms since the OG droid. But this time I got distracted and clearly made a foolish mistake. I was installing XDABBEB's new rom and I totally flaked out and installed the bootstrap and the rom in the same flash. it obviously didn't work and even though I read the instructions, I tried to restore my rom from a backup. Now the only thing I can do is boot into fastboot.
I've tried a number of ways to get TWRP or CWM back onto my phone so I can sideload a rom onto it, but every time I try to fastboot a recovery file it says that "remote: image is not a boot image" or something. What I have gathered from my research is that I cant install a custom recovery unless I am rooted.

So, without a custom recovery and only fastboot at my disposal, where do I go from here?

I have a VS980S. I have tried the LG flash tool, but I can't get any of the numerous LG drivers to recognize my phone. I even tried dd commands in Ubuntu, but all it would do is try and mount volume after volume making it impossible to use the interface,

I'm in the same boat man. I tried flashing AOKP and it hung and I rebooted and everything but TWRP was gone. I'm in the process of trying the KDZ method right now.

I hope it works for you. I tried that and flashing TWRP with fastboot but it said that it wasn't a valid boot image. A little research said that happens when your device is not rooted. But how can I root my phone from fastboot alone?

I'll give a try and report back. But I have a feeling it won't work. I think I have the adb driver loaded but I can't get my computer to recognize any other of the drivers.

Sorry, what do you mean by "opening window in map"?

I was also in the same boat for 36 h, stuck on trwp recovery, no rom, no gaps in memory... I'm freely sailing now! I did this:
- press together power and lower button to get usb connecting screen, unplugged usb cable.
- LG tools installed and D-802 pilots {for me] installed, plug cable and check pilots again.
- launch in LG tools option for wrong install repair
- wait until the complete rom repair is installed, quite long, and then you win automatic reboot! You just loose root. Ioroot 25 again, that's all.
Hope it works for you chaps.

Yeh try this ... what i meant was when opening windows in adb-map ... windows -explorer !
But try the llink provided ...it will wake up your phone ..! :good:

Believe me before doing any thing using your pc just try to change the usb port first, then let it install the driver automatically(if you're using w7/8)
if windows xp just dont plug your phone remove the old LG driver and then plug your phone to another usb port that the one you have used it before with your phone and install the driver, and then proceed....
Why i am telling you this?
because i had almost the same problem with my galaxy note 2..... it wasn't recognizing my phone until i changed my usb port in download
mode and let it istall the driver......
hope it'll help.......... :good:

Ok, when I try this the computer recognizes my phone as a "USB Modem Phone ADB port" in device manager. But when I follow the directions in the link above if fails at Step 24. It says the phone is not connected. It is asking for my phone to be in "Download mode" in step 17, but I can only get into Fastboot mode. Is that the issue?

Yeah it is. Have you tried getting it into download mode? I was able to when I was stuck with a fast boot

Ok, as i understand it you have to hold volume up and plug the device in while its off. The problem I am having is that the phone is always on. Regardless of what mode I have it in, I can always see the back light glowing. I've searched for ways of truly turning the phone off, but I can't find any info.
Suggestions?

Ok, hold power button until phone turn off, still holding until LG logo appear again, then the phone will turn off completly.
Turn off = Off
(First Off will take a long time, don't worry(about 40 seconds), don't forget: still holding the power button until LG logo appear and the phone Off)

ok, it seems like it goes off. the backlight appears to be off, but when I hold the volume up button and then plug it in, it immediately goes to fastboot. ugh.

[Q] L5 - Stuck after Android upgrade

Hi, i'm new and french so I'm sorry for my bad english
I have an Android LG optimus L5 II. I accepted the android upgrade (about 'applications') and now I can't turn on my phone; it's stuck on the 'SRF' logo just after the 'LG' logo. It works but don't start. Please, help me...

Is your phone rooted? And does it have cwm installed?
You may have bricked it but thats not a big deal, the first thing you can trie is to press volume down and the home button, and press power, as soon as your phone vibrates let go of the power button and keep holding volume down and home button. Let go after 10 seconds, your phone shuld factory reset, if it does let it boot. Leave it for 5 minuts on boot. If it wont boot after that, youll need to download kdz to your PC and flash the original OS.
Hope this helped

Thanks a lot for your answer!
Is your phone rooted? And does it have cwm installed?
- Hmm I don't think so(By the way I don't really understand what it means... but i haven't install any custom things or hack)
volume down and the home button, and press power,
- Volume down is the only dead button on my phone, I can't use it anymore...
I tried what i could but it still stuck on the logo....

Uh volume down is a very big problem, you cant go in to recovery or in to download mode to fix your phone.
You can fix all software problems by your self, but all buttons need to finction.
Im sorry to say you may need to go and fix your button befor you can fix your boot problem.

There's a guide for unbrick an LG L5, just google it
Edit: Sorry, I didn't see the "II", my bad. But you can try the same for your model.

Actualy just fornd out to factory reset it you just need hold vol up and vol down at the same time and press and hold power till the phone vibrates, but you still need the vol down button.

Ok, so I connected my bricked LG phone, then I started the 'Automatic Offline Procedure' and set "On" on the Windows Enabler, R&D Test Tool opened, I put the .kdz, click on "Normal Web Upgrade" then "Uprade start".
And the LG Mobile Support opens itself insteed of the LG Flasher, without possibilities: I've already download the drivers on this one: and now I can't see those drivers anymore if I remake this procedure (as you can see on my screen).
I've also downloaded "LGUnitedMobileDriver" for my phone just before that. So I don't think it's a driver problem ...
Where am I wrong?
