[Q] Soft-brick? ADB sees the phone.

Hello guys, I have a problem with this phone.
First I flashed the euro+fastboot kdz... The phone booted and worked awesome but It wasn't showing recovery or LG logo.
Somewhere on this forum I read that you had to flash v10c and then v20B to fix this.
I did so, v10c failed, but v20B flashed correctly, but it didn't boot up.
I'm still stuck here, the phone is completely dark, but when I connect it to the pc I can see it with ADB, It just doesn't go into fastboot mode (because of v20B I guess). But flashing the euro kdz won't work anymore, and I'm stuck in ADB without fastboot.
Hope you guys can help me,
Juxter.

Thumbs up solution to get logo
solution from 4PDA
flash first french firmware _hxxp://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/GT540/ANEUBK/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz
(you must make kdz flasher fullscreen and change right option to CS_EMERGENCY)
dont boot android , remove accu reinsert them and press vol - and plug usb cable into port on mainboard - you must get in download mode )
flash firmware with fastboot (i use CIS _hxxp://narod.ru/disk/26675062000/V20B_00.kdz.html)
boot android and flash this firmware _hxxp://narod.ru/disk/25473801000/out.kdz.html
after this you must see all logo ( LG , Motion LG , Android )
after this flash firmware you like (custom fastboot e t с)
maybe some point is not needed but this tutorial work 100% and tested by myself

So after 4 5 6 or maybe 10 times, it will finally become working, that's what you're saying?
This is really odd, something's wrong with these phones lol
Okay, i'll load myself with a ton of patience and repeat the steps as per the instructions. This is *exactly* how i am doing it, with all the details:
1) Using the French v20A ROM - http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/GT540/ANEUBK/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz and this Russian one - http://narod.ru/disk/25473801000/out.kdz.html
2) Take out the battery, SIM card and SD card
3) While holding the Vol - button, plug USB into phone so that the phone goes into Download Mode
4) Run the KDZ Updater, put it into CS_Emergency mode
5) Select the French V20A rom and flash it
6) When it's finished (immediately after the DOWNLOAD MODE letters vanish), i pull out the USB plug from the PC, so that the phone doesn't boot.
7) Again hold Vol - and reinsert USB to put the phone back in Download Mode
8) In KDZ Updater (still in CS_Emergency mode) select out.kdz and flash it
9) Let the phone boot into Android
At this point i STILL don't have a boot animation, should i keep doing this until i see one appear?
When it (if) finally appears, i just flash my own ROM, do a factory reset and it should stay that way, correct?
I guess my impossibility to access recovery mode also has something to do with this...

Note: For above step: 1) Using the French v20A ROM
-- as long as you have the ROM of v20 with fastboot option, it doesn't really matter.

Thanks for the reply, I actually fixed it following this:
hxxp://modaco.com/topic/329863-how-to-raise-gt540-from-the-dead/
Once I got fastboot with that cwm.kdz I reflashed a fastboot rom, and from that one I could use the KDZ updater again, following the French kdz procedure...
The phone now is fully working recovery and bootanimations again

If download mode shows, go back to stock with lg flash and .tot firmware file. It will reformat/rebuild all partitions. This is best because you may have a corrupted partition. You can re root after doing this.

First double check that you can enter recovery. Hold the power button until the phone completely shuts down. Wait 5 seconds. Then hold power + volume down until it vibrates and LG logo shows up. Release both buttons. Then press them again quickly and hold them. You will enter recovery. Or the phone my offer to do a factory reset which btw won't happen since it will go to recovery by pressing the power button 2 more times. If you have TWRP then you are good. Install ADB on your PC and the LG drivers. When you have ADB, Download (check everything) related to JB and KK. Reboot the PC. Connect your phone with the cable. The PC will not recognize the phone. You have to use a little trick in the device manager first:
Press the windows key + pause/break and click on device manager. Right click on the faulty device with the yellow exclamation mark and hit properties then update driver. Click on the second option then from the list search for ADB or ADB device or something along those lines. Select the LG driver and hit OK. Unplug the phone. The phone must be in recovery still. Inside recovery hit advanced and look for ADB sideload. Check both checkboxes on what to wipe. If you don't already have a rom you want to flash, then use this one. It is a very stable and fast one and I only recommend it because I had the same issue as you and it worked for me. Download that rom and rename the zip file to rom.zip and copy it to the location where your adb.exe file is. You will also need the KK baseband modem otherwise auto rotation won't work. Search for it on the D802 dev thread. Now on your PC, open a command prompt inside the directory you copied the rom.zip (shift + right click) and hit "open command prompt here". Type in:
adb devices (this will ensure that your connection with the phone is alive. If you see some weird string then it works. That is the name of the phone btw)
adb sideload rom.zip

Installation will now begin. You are saved.
Of course all the above only applies if you have acces to recovery. But I wonder how could you screw that one up. It's literally a simple apk installation and a 1 button solves everything app. If you don't have recovery you can still try to save your phone with download mode. Here is a link that maybe helps but I havent tested it
And one last thing: Don't use Flashtool.

thanks man. But unfortunately no recovery. The phone ONLY goes to download mode.
I will try to flash .kdz because tot method didn't work. If .kdz fails then i don;t know.... expensive paper holder

Did you shut down your phone and enter it into it's download mode (when it's shut down, hold the VOL Up button and plug it in to your computer's USB port simultaneously)? The current version of LG Flash Tool 2014 has a option called "CSE Flash" which deletes the ROM you installed and the Internal Storage's data, and installs the stock ROM you are trying to install. All you do is make sure your phone is on Download Mode, have the KDZ selected, select CSE Flash, hit "Start" select "Different Country" (as it have Korea as it's default choice), select your language, wait for it to be done. I hope it worked for you, as it worked for me.

Need help on lgv20 h990ds to unbrick

I tried to root with dirty Santa steps
But unfortunately
At step16 my cell went to fastboot mode
After that i cant restart in normal mode and download mode
If i do multicolor display is coming
But system recognize the download mode
So I tried to boot stock rom with
Lg flash tool
But it says
Firmware mismatch
Like us996->h990ds
And stop installing in10 persistent
Even lgup detect my download mode
But model unknown error
So pls some help me in it
I checked the file.bat file santa
In 3 batch file it was
There was twp file mention in us996
Instead of
H990ds
So I think the problem starts there
Any way to re flash through
Fast boot
If any one can explain
Say it in step by step pls
Thanks in advance

Some one help guys

To get to a working rooted phone from where you are, enter fastboot mode (hold volume up while connecting to PC iirc), then flash the h990 version of my twrp, (fastboot flash recovery C:\path/to/TWRP/), pull the battery after running fastboot flash twice, then enter recovery by while holding volume down, press power until the screen turns on, then tap power repeatedly until it asks to factory reset, say yes twice, then flash a new kernel and magisk/supersu. Neocore is a popular h990 kernel.
To revert back to full stock, replace your LG up files in Program Files with the modded version from this thread, and use the partition DL mode it adds (select all partitions from your kdz file) to go around the model restrictions

Hey I I have same problem with u
I try with flashtool in h990.kdz(nouget my stockroom) and massage is download error.
My phone h990ds
But in Lgup readed by unknown model.
Please help me.
Thank you..

Hi I ran into the same issue, but I managed to force flash the firmware by choosing "Erase Chip" option (while choosing the kdz file) in the LGUP tool. Then somewhere in the middle you have to click the pink progress bar to confirm a warning. Hope it's not too late buddy! I registered the xda account just to post this haha. The only issue is that the two IMEIs show up as 0 in the system, but the sim card (data and phone call)works just fine.
