Hey guys,
I would appreciate a little help here cause I am about to throw my bricked L5 into the sea........
After a lot of tries I have rooted my e610v and ported V20 bb and CM10.1. Though, the google apps kept crashing no matter how many times I re-installed the firmware and the gapps-signed.zip
So, I did the mistake to put it into emergency download progress and now I am stuck there like....forever
I ve tried everything. Hard resets, cold reboots, everytime the phone starts again it shows "download in progress do not disconnect cable". I've tried any possible key combination found in the internet but nothing seems to get me out of there.
I ve also tried to change firmware back to a V20 rooted with CWM or a stock V20 rom with KDZ FW Updater but I get an update error wparams=500, lparams=100
I dont know what else to do, KDZ updater doesnt work maybe because I am trying to downgrade from CM 10.1 to CM 10 ?????
Any help would be much appreciated!
thnx
bump!!!
please guys any help here?

are you using a windows based pc? If so, go to your pc to advanced options and find modems and disable LG mobile modem, reboot your pc then open kdz and run windows enabler. Set kdz to DIAG. Remove the battery from your phone.
Then hold vol - and connect your phone to your pc.
Now flash the original LG frameware for your device. Let finish.
KDZ will crash after it finishes update.
That is normal.
The lg logo will appear on your device and you may get stuck in a boot loop.
Just disconnect your device.
Dont put the battery back in yet. Just hold vol - and home button and connect your usb cable again. The device should factory reset and boot normally.
a nother way to a successful factory reset. Turn on your device with your battery inserted. Remove the back of your phone.
Turn on your device. Then hold vol- and just remove the bottom of your battery. When the screen turns off quickly put the battery back in. Keep holding vol - when menu lights up press and hold home key.
The phone will eventually enter recovery. Or recovery mode.

firstly id like to thank u very very much for your reply!!
ok now some qs...
1st of all, some things have changed since the last time i did the first post, in the meantime Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the adb universal drivers, the lg modem in device manager keeps showing up as disabled everytime I connect to my pc and I get a USB Composite device which seems like my LG phone (im running windows 7).
Since I reinstalled adb universal drivers the KDZ gives me a new error, PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!
2nd my phone status is bootloader v2, it was rooted and I had ported cm 10.1 right before it died! also Im not sure if last time it was unbricked if I had Usb debugging enabled and I cant change it now with my phone bricked.
3rd I cant find windows enabler. was it inside the kdz folder? I could only find msxml. also by saying stock firmware I assume you refer to V20G_00.kdz found on lg-phone-firmware.com, right?
4th as I havent managed to do anything differently as Ive done millions times, at that step flashing I dont think flashing will work now! Ive also tried your methods for factory reset and the method described last for entering recovery but nothing worked
thanks a lot again!

if you can enter download mode its ok.
Find a new kdz file with windows enabler. Yes it should be in kdz folder. Reinstall xsml. disable lgmobile modem on your pc and reboot. Then run window enabler and use my first instruction. Yes i mean the original v20 frameware from LG
when in download mode usb debbuging and if your phone is rooted or not and how many times you used kdz or what rom you were running is irrelevant.
As long as your phone enters download mode it can be restored

btw when i reinstalled usb drivers the modem came up again so I disabled it after connecting my phone to the computer
update #2, i just tried on another pc, same error, phone not found :crying::crying::crying: im gonna toss it down the river

no, dont toss it in the river. Try to turn the modem on reboot your pc and re try.
Make sure that your battery is not in your phone when in download mode.
Your device will be found eventually.
Its set to 3Q and DIAG?
I used a pc running windows xp. I have a L5 e610 and a L7 p705.
I used kdz many times till now.
it works. Something may be blocking your connection to the pc. Btw i didnt use the original LG cable. I used a cable from htc one. i did have the same phone not found problem.
But is different every time. I wish i could take a look at your device personally. Its a hard for me to figure out whats wrong like this.

Hey Nesh, two last questions!
first of all, the modem drivers are missing and I have disabled the modem. should I search for them (probably I have to install the LGModem firmware exe file)
also my computer does not detect the phone via adb.exe when I run adb devices. this clearly shows that it is a connection problem? shouldnt I be able to see the phone through adb before proceeding with the kdz updater
thanks a lot :good:

wwwwwWWOOOW!!! :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::highfive:
after months of trying my phone and the usb drivers got enlightened by the easter spirit apparently and they found common ground.
this is what I did:
I used a new PC Windows XP based
Uninstalled completely every single android driver on my computer (I did that already before) - I was using Universal Adb drivers because this made FWUpdater to work last time. I first uninstalled the devices from the device manager and afterwards from the uninstall programs.
I spotted that the LG mobile modem driver was not installed.
Downloaded official drivers from LG site, specifically for my mobile.
connected my computer, let the drivers find communications and install phone as USB Composite device & modem as LGE Modem.
Disabled the LG Modem from device manager
Restart the PC
(I already had MSXML SP3 installed)
Disable antivirus
Run Windows enabler
Run KDZ_FW_UPD and patch the firmware :laugh:
the proccess hasnt finished yet but I dont think there will be a problem as this will most definately get me out of emergency download mode so I can install anything I want from the SDCard - I swear to god I will not mess again with usb drivers, ADB and KDZ FW Updater :fingers-crossed:

yeap, its all good right now! I d like to thank u one more time for the tips and the courage u gave me, hah
im running CM10.1 now. I tried to flash CM11 first, but it failed.
-sorry for going offtopic, but as someone with experience on the E610, would you recommend flashing CM11 beta 4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/development/l5-cyanogenmod-11-t3042615) ? Will it slow down, my phone-battery drain and have any more issues? whats ur opinion on that?

cm 11 is recommended, cm11 sbp rom project and sbp caynhacker also. You can also flash the L speed mod by @Paget96 for better performance and battery life. I run my e610 on sbp rom project cm10 it is a really good rom.
And im glad i could help

I am running CM10.1 for some days now and I wouldnt say I am satisfied from the phone's speed after restoring my old apps+data from the Titanium Backup. (about 45 apps I'd say), although I've created partitions, swap etc.
I know that lots of apps make the phone run slow, but most of them are needed + I dont think they run on the background, so I cant understand the speed decrease...
Do you think flashing the CM11 and the Lspeed mod would make things run smoother and faster? :/ or should I switch back to CM10 ?

L Speed mod is recommended for all devices and all roms, you just need to find the correct settings for your specific rom and device.
CM11 is smoother then CM10.
cm11 sometimes has bugs, cm10 does not. My recommendation is to try both cm10 and cm11 and flash the L Speed mod and try to find your optimal settings

can you recommend the optimal settings for L speed mod??
I have these shown in the picture bellow right now, I changed them a bit from the default, I also run battery calibration, but I still have some problems:
first of all there is a battery drain which is pretty bad, sometimes battery gets very low without even using the phone.
also my phone is really slow when using some apps, specially with multitasking. at first when I didnt install all the apps I am using it was really fast and stable, now even though I tried not to install so many apps, I am having a serious problems as phone lags so much, and many times I have to restart it.
I think that not having enough RAM is the problem of that, can you give any advice on that?
** edit: I have partitioned my card and also have swap. is there any chance my sd is slow and its slowing down the entire phone? :/ I have a Kingston SDHC 8gb

well every thing depends on the rom you using, i keep my settings at default. And im on cm10. My ram is always maxed out but when i use LS all i do is boost memory. Theres always a little lag. But my device works pretty well. No i dont think sd card is the issue. My battery darin is high to when i actively use my device. In deep sleep battery hardly drains. Your battery problem may be the battery it self, Samsung devices have a battery issue. The bat needs to be changed every 6 months. Iv bin using mine tow years now. But its still working well.

Basically I tried to install acid audio mod 8 on my phone but did not realize that it was xperia only, so now it is stuck on "android is upgrading"/"starting apps" everytime i reboot. I tried flashing back to acid audiomod 7 and that didnt help. I am running Slimrom with franco kernel btw. I also tried wiping dalvik cache, just cache, and formating the phone from recovery, none of that helped. I dont have any roms saved on my phone or any backups so I am stuck like this and I cant connect my phone to my pc, my pc would recognize it but it wont show up in my computer so I cant access it to to save another rom to it. I tried connecting via recovery (where it goes "download mode do not unplug the device until the process is complete") But that doesnt work, the it would try and install drivers for two "Full JellyBean on Mako" (so it seems like slimrom is based off of a older cm 10 build), but it would come back with no drivers found. When I am in recovery via clockwork my pc recognizes my phone as "Android" but again I still cant do anything with it. Someone please help! I need to fix it by tonight because I am going camping tommorow with family for a few days so having my phone working is a must .
Thanks for those that try to help!

What exactly do you mean it recognizes as android? Do you mean from device manager? Does it recognize it via adb? If so you can use adv to push or side load a rom

Im not sure how to do that, lol, im still pretty noob, but yeah I mean from devicemanager.
I would install the SDK . you could also use the adb files of the toolkit if you want
When you locate the adb files. Open a command prompt (shift right click ) and type adb devices. To check if its being recognized. If it is we can push a ROM.
Download ROM of choice and place it in the same folder as adb
Then type the command
Adb push nameofrom.zip /sdcard/nameofrom.zip
Or if you near a PC I can help out via teamviewer

i had the exact same problem, it was stuck at starting apps, then suddenly i heard my phones msg toe go up, so i thought id randomly give a call to the hone, and it rang and showed up the diler, i rejected, jumped in settings, and as it turns our, i had an old version of nova launcher which wasnt compatable with art. and since it was my default launcher ,even though it fc'd android kept trying to launch it i set lg home as default and now its fine phone is lg g2
you can do what is stated above or you can wipe data using stock recovery, not needing any pc, but you will loose all your data

Go into fastboot, use the fastboot toolkit to flash them. That's what I did cause recovery was being weird. This was a while ago though. I dont have a nexus 4 anymore so I can explain how to do it in detail, i broke it and now im stuck with my dumb iphone 4s.
My sprint LG G2 was boot looping into TWRT after I accepted an OTA.
I've read several posts, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595 and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960,
the problem I get is I can not get into download mode, well, I did enter it, but it stuck at 0%, and my computer don't recognize it. Can not find the phone in "devices", installed the driver and still no avail. BTW, when I boot into TWRT, my computer can recognize the android device and ADB works then.
Since I cannot get past the download mode, I can not use the LG flash tool.. it says "LG USB/Parallel lock key is not detected".
Any suggestion is deeply appreciated.

I tried, use ADB while the phone is in TWRT, went through and restarted, still boot into TWRT.
The command line in TWRT will pop up an error message saying "not enough space", although I do have enough space. So it didn't work either.
Sounds like you just need to keep messing with it until you can get it to recognize it in download mode and go back to stock. What Windows version do you have? i had some issues with 8 but 7 worked fine.

Well, that Fix clear FOTA with zeros and it should end with "not enough space", this is normal.
I guess when your phone restarted into download mode and got stuck on 0%, it already overwrite maybe part of system partition, this is why only download or recovery works.
Did you made any nandroid backup before? If yes, restore at least boot & system from it. It should help, so you can boot normally. If you do not have any backup, well, maybe some other fellow Spring user can give u his boot & system backup files so you can restore them.

I encountered the same issue last night. I reinstalled the Verizon united drivers and rebooted my machine. The next time that I connected the device in download mode, device manager picked up the device. I had to re-run the LG tool, but it eventually progressed past 0% and my issue was fixed. You can reinstall the verizon drivers using the following link.

I'm having the same issues with D802b after doing the 60mb OTA update. My phone didn't get a chance to actually do the download as on first restart it just went straight into TWRP and I haven't been able to get back since.
It's just looping back into TWRP each time. I've now completely wiped all parts of the phone including the internal SD card, I've even re-installed a new kernel and rom (The custom one I was using before this happened, from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2505682) from an attached USB (sd card reader) with successful installs through TWRP (including wiping cache etc), still reboots into TWRP on restart. I've also done a hard reset that was supposedly successful, still boots into TWRP.
Same as the OP, it won't 'install itself' properly in windows while in TWRP mode or in 'Software Download' mode (turn on with up and down buttons pressed down and plug data cable in). I've tried in vain to hunt down a specific D802 inf as pointing it at the universal driver didn't detect either.
I have installed the Android SDK, LG Suite, LG Universal drivers. I've then tried the B2CAppSetup (which works, but won't detect the device). I've then tried the FlashTool 1.0.54 and it gets all the way through but can't communicate with the device.
The only thing I haven't managed to do yet is to decompress the official kdz into a zip so I can flash it through TWRP. Haven't had much luck with LGExtract as of yet.
Rather baffled actually, as I'm sure the OP is.
Any thoughts?

That is excellent, did they give you a hard time replacing it?

I tried that method many times and it does not work on the Sprint version. If you read through the thread you'll noticed that others with Sprint devices can not get that method to work.
The only method that worked for me was to use the LG Flash tool and flash the Sprint tot file and follow the instructions for the Verizion method for going back to stock.

My sprint LG G2 was boot looping into TWRT after I accepted an OTA.
I've read several posts, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2477595 and this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960,
the problem I get is I can not get into download mode, well, I did enter it, but it stuck at 0%, and my computer don't recognize it. Can not find the phone in "devices", installed the driver and still no avail. BTW, when I boot into TWRT, my computer can recognize the android device and ADB works then.
Since I cannot get past the download mode, I can not use the LG flash tool.. it says "LG USB/Parallel lock key is not detected".
Any suggestion is deeply appreciated.

Not really sure if this would've solve your problem but here's my possible theory to why you couldn't get it to work:
I was in the same situation. Took the OTA update and was boot looping into TWRP. Just like you, nothing in TWRP would fix it. I think you probably panicked and rush through the instructions and forgot some important steps. Make sure you did not install the Verizon driver by accident because that will cause problems with your Sprint phone not being properly detected by your computer. I did panicked and started to try to many things and somehow got a copy of the Verizon driver and installed it. ADB was able to see my phone but when I tried to sideload something through TWRP it would generate an error. I found out that I had both drivers(LG USB driver and the Verizon USB driver) installed and after removing the Verizon USB driver my computer was able to detect my phone properly. It's really important that after making any changes or installations of drivers you will need to reboot your PC to get the new changes to take effect.
You got the "LG USB/Parallel lock key is not detected" error is because you forgot to copy and overwrite the "MegaLock.dll" that's located at "C:\LG\LGFlashTool" directory.
To get into download mode you just need to press the +volume button only(do not hold or press the power button) and plug in the USB cable that's attached to your computer and Download Mode should come on. It will stay on 0% until the LG Flash tool flashes the Sprint stock rom onto the phone.
Once I got the phone to come up in Download Mode I had to go into Device Manager and find the device and then change the COM port to COM 41 then everything went smoothly as the instruction indicated. If you were not able to change the COM to COM 41 then it will never work.
If you're not sure that you have all the files then this is where I got mine from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2486738&page=7
or

After I got the file above I followed the directions for the Verizon method below:

Hello,
So, my vs98039a is having a pop up saying "Unfortunately, LG smartcover has stopped". When i close it, it automatically keeps popping up, over and over and over. I am rooted with stock rom. I have twrp recovery.
I tried to install xposed through twrp. That is when it started with the pop ups. I read that xposed is making the pop ups happen.
I tried to do a recovery, but the recovery wasnt found on memory stick via usb.
So, i was able to do a factory reset, but still have these stupif pop ups. The factory reset took it back to 5.0.2.
I really need some help bad. How do I get rid of these pop ups??? I am sick over this.
Thank you very much

Hopefully this will teach you to read before messing around. In the Q&A, there's a link how to get it working thru adb. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58829021
If you can't get it working that way then you'll need to return to stock. (post# 2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51318377
It's been a known issue since Xposed in alpha (not for everyone) has been out.

Thanks for your help, nothing is working. I cant seem to get the sdk tools to work so that I can open adb cmd. I downloaded the sdk suite and manager. I'm afraid its a lost cause . I try to go back to stock, and the phone will not stay connected when flashing vs98039a firmware. I even went to Lg site and downloaded the newest driver. It works, phone tries to reboot and shuts off and flashtool says there was error when it tries to install firmware. I try to get phone in dowload mode, and it says download mode but there is an error message top left. Then it shut off completely.
How the heck can I get adb to open up so I can enter commands to stop smartcover, weather,and weather platform??? I have done all of this on my razr m without a hitch. Im not a noob. I do not understand this G2!!!

You need to remove these 3 apps for xposed to work:
LGCover, LGWeather, LGWeatherService
Just flash the attached file through recovery and xposed will work.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app
I was wondering how that is even possible since I did a factory reset, the popups will not let me past them, and I have no recovery as far as I know.? The usb debugging is on, and the phone shows it is connected, but pc does not see it. Unknown sources is enabled as well.
I can't flash anything from pc using the lg flash tool. It gets to 50 percent and says device isn't connected. Can't even try the freedom tool anymore if it went connect. I have the latest usb driver.
I don't evenknow if I have root anymore. Popups won't let me do anything.
So anyway, I ended up just wiping everything thru the twrp recovery and took the firmware zip I downloaded (vs98039a) and installed it. Everything is back to normal with fresh stock rom. I think I will just be happy with that, until xposed has a clean apk. Thank you for your help

Exactly, that´s the problem.
If you can´t solve it with that, flash new rom, and do that before install xposed again,
One more thing, can I use titanium to freeze these apps or should I just delete them?

Hey guys I installed the rom Super.Fast&LolliFamous™ (don't remember the exact version, but i can find this out), but a few days ago my phone started bugging out. It started lagging, vibrating and replaying sounds when going into lags, forcing me to reboot it. this helped the first time but an hour later it started again and now i can't boot it properly at all. I am able to get it into download mode and recovery with luck and a few tricks, but odin wont recognize the phone when connected to a pc (tried with 2 pc's and 6 different usb ports). I was able to flash another rom, but this did not fix the problem a bit (Alliance 2.2). With the same problem still there I tried flashing the stock rom over Odin, but as mentioned Odin won't recognize the phone. I have tried Installing/uninstalling Kies as well as Installing/uninstalling the samsung drivers on both pc's. Any help would be very appreciated!

I have tried connecting my old Galaxy S2 to see if it was the pc which was the problem. Odin recognized my old S2, but not my Note 4. Any ideas? Can i flash something in recovery which makes Odin able to register the Note 4? Help is greatly appreciated!
try a different version of odin, remember to run it as admin, and check the cable

When this has happened to me in the past Samsung's recovery software does the trick. Give it a try.

Have you tried install stock ROM ( or other ) via ADB sideload from recovery?

First thing I'd do is remove the ADB drivers. Install kies is the simplest way to have proper drivers. You must put this fw on by Odin so if your phone doesn't connect in download mode, that's your issue.
Connect Odin
Flash new fw
Flash rom
