[Q] Very Odd installed appz after update <BRICKED>

Hoi Hoi people
i got myself a GT540 Optimus <yes total newbeee to android>
It came with a deal for free and its my 1st android :0
anyway
After USING the official way (silly me )to update I now have some odd Portuguese apps installed ? Stuff from SAPO.pt ???
I didn't do any Sync backup as i just got the phone and its basically empty
I used the Updater tool from LG connected and all went well But after I look I was able to change the language to ENG but it has quiet a few Portuguese Apps installed...
I am in Holland so i cannot see how this updater decided to give me a POR image ?
Now i could make a guess and say the IMEI is for Portuguese market(?) and the dutch INTERNET cheapo middleman I got the deal from has bought a bunch on the gray market ..
Whatever it is i don't care
I would like you guys now to point me the right way
I just flash the thing myself
I think the tool i need is called KDZ ?
Please someone point me to the right post I am looking but seem to get nowhere
just more confused
Thanks guys
B.T.W I am not too inept . I am used to flashin me HTC HD all the time ..

Toen je de officele lg updater gebruikte, welke taal was hij toen?
Het kan zijn dat je dat aan het begin verkeerd heb ingesteld.

Thanks a lot guys
I followed the hints and now my LG is dead ..
LOL
This is rather annoying
1st I get a Crap gray import from 2call
then LG puts a Portuguese update rom on it??WTF!>?
while i choose NETHERLANDS with language english
but nevermind
buy **** buy twice thats life
My 1st and last lg phone ?/
What kind of rubbish is this
u update using the official LG tool and they play a freckin foreign rom onto my LG (SAPO.PT) then I cant update it at all anymore using the tool . So i look for alternatives but thats just made it worse ...
Really really poor this ..
Now ...I followed the guide but it didn't work ..well it did until restarted
My lg is now black. Dead ! doesn't start up at all !
Doesn't start no-matter what i try !
not even emergency mode.
And no guys I read the instruction word for word !!!!
I followed it to the letter !!!!! and the update did work ..Just now it doesn't start at all anymore.
I should of known reading around
there are too many update ways people are doing this ..Hack tool or original KDZ ..or just Black system way ..Too many loopholes for things to go wrong ..but now too late

Hmm...
Try a reflash...
This is a guide I followed from another forum, and posted elsewhere with some minor additions in case anyone had problems.
The guide is from a forum post at the android forums,it is NOT my work, the added bits are mostly what I have found from browsing here and from asking questions. While I can't be held liable if you mess your phone up having done so myself I thought this could helpa few people and save them searching various threads for answers so hope it helps
The guide
To install this ROM you need to have fastboot enabled on your phone. If you have Android 1.6/2.1 installed from LG, then fastboot is not enabled. I will explain how to enable fastboot on your phone (this involves re-flashing/replacing your currently installed firmware):
I am unable to post links yet so you will have to copy and paste the appropriate link into your browser replacing the ** with tt
KDZ Updater Carphone Warehouse Unlocked.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/7aRTc - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash to Android version 2.1 with fastboot (Carphone Warehouse Unlocked)
KDZ Updater Europe Open.zip can be downloaded at h**p://goo.gl/BOcYT - A link to a zip archive with all the files needed to flash toAndroid version 2.1 with fastboot (Europe Open)
Download the version that best applies to you, if you live in the UK, I'd recommend you download the Carphone Warehouse Unlocked version, whereas if you live in Europe, I'd recommend the Europe Open version (simple right? )
I live in the UK and used the open rom from Europe as the Carphone Warehouse rom would not install
Now, how to flash these versions; I'll explain in detail how to flash the ROM's from starting with backing up.
Instructions to install ROM with Fastboot:
1. Before you start, make sure you backup all your data by installing the z4root.1.3.0.apk file onto your phone, then open it and choose 'Permanent Root'. Your phone will root and reboot. Then go to the Market and install 'MyBackup Root', open it and do a backup of your apps and personal data (contacts, sms, call log etc.) Once this is done, go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Unmount SD Card, a notification in the notification bar should appear saying 'SD Card safe to remove'. Remove the battery cover and remove the SD card and store it in a safe place. Then continue to step 2.
2. Extract the .zip file you downloaded to your computer (e.g. your desktop). Open the folder and install MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser (msxml.msi).
3. Once that has finished, install LGAndroidDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver1.0_All_Win7.exe which are the drivers so your computer will recognize your phone.
4. Next, open KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
(i) Change 'Type' to '3GQCT' *THIS IS A MUST, THE UPDATE WILL NOT WORK OTHERWISE AND YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE*
(ii) Make sure 'PhoneMode' is set to 'DIAG'
(iii) Browse for the 'V20B_00+Fastboot.kdz' file.
5. Prepare the phone by enabling USB Debugging by going to Settings>Applications>Development>Enable USB Debugging and connect the phone to the computer via USB cable and wait for the drivers to install for the phone.
6. Click 'Launch software update' and do not use your computer until the update is complete. The update will take roughly 10-20 mins to complete.
If you have a problem with this try a different rom, this guide offers two to choose from.
Instructions to install CyanogenMod:
Once the update is complete, your phone will reboot, what you need to do is power off the phone and whilst the phone is off, press and hold the 'Camera' button all the way ANDpower on the phone, make sure you hold the 'Camera' button. The phone will display the LG logo and disappear, then display a blank screen. The phone is now in fastboot mode!
Now you want to download this file: Flashing CyanogenMod.zip and extract it to a folder called 'Android' (without the quotes '') on the C: drive (you'll probably need to make this folder yourself.
1. Now open CMD with administrator privileges (Search for CMD in the start menu and right click on 'cmd' and click 'Run as Administrator' )
2. Connect the phone to your computer via USB cable and wait for the necessary drivers to install.
If when connected with a usb cable the computer says "waiting for device" and nothing else happens try installing the fastboot drivers. You can do this by going to the control panel of your pc, from the Windows start menu, opening the list of devices and where you see the one representing your phone (likely, as was the case with me, it will say android and have a yellow exclamation mark over it). Different versions of Windows do things slightly different but what you need to do is simply update the driver by choosing the icons properties box choosing UPDATE or INSTALL DRIVER and when asked pointing it to the folder where you unzipped the drivers.
3. Then go back to the cmd window and type:
Code:
cd C:\Android
(i) Then type:
Code:
fastboot.exe -w
(ii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe erase system
(iii) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash system system.img
(iv) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
(v) Once that's completed, type:
Code:
fastboot.exe reboot
4. Your phone will now reboot with CyanogenMod 6.1.1 (Android 2.2.1). The first boot might take longer than a normal boot.
If your phone stays at a blank screen you simply forgot to do one of the above steps, in which case simply repeat them. It is likely if that happens that you simply forgot the flash boot image instruction.
5. You can now re-insert your SD card and go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage>Mount SD Card
Enjoy!
The instructions for flashing both the firmware with fastboot and flashing CyanogenMod are included in the zip archives called 'Readme'. I'll update the links so that you'll always have the most up to date version of CyanogenMod available for download, note that if you choose to update your phone you will loose all your data including apps etc. so backup before you update
And that, with a few comments added by myself, is the guide.
Once you have set your phone up the way you want power off your phone. Hold the HOME and POWER buttons down while the LG logo appears and you will see a menu appear on screen.
Using the volume down key to navigate the different menu choices, and the camera button to select an option choose the BACKUP OR RESTORE option and from the sub menu that it will give you choose BACKUP.
This will make a backup of your phone AND all your data, if you ever mess up an update or think you have damaged your phone in the future simply holdthe POWER and HOME buttons down and when the menu appears choose the RESTORE option

Dude
thanks a lot for your lengthy post and effort .I appreciate it .
but unfortunately U seem to miss the post I wrote.
MY LG doesn't even start anymore after using the Hack tool to upgrade it ...
SO its futile ??
I cant start the phone at all ...
After following yesterdays advice Its dead ..
Great init

Oh dang. Doesn't even turn on? No LG boot logo?
Well...if it's bricked...the only three ways are:
1) Get it repaired/replaced.
2) Buy a new phone.
3) Use it as a paperweight.
=)

No my friend ..its DEAD !!!!
following the guide to the letter
Installed parser got the hack tool
run all as admin and made sure I started windows enabler
All the things in the guide
worked a charm until reboot
Not its black and dead!!!
ANY IDEAS !!!!?????

Have you tried this...
If you did it with kdz updater than:
pull out battery, sim and sd
connect phone with computer
disable lg modem in the device manager
flash a rom with fastboot
go in fastboot by camara+power
connect to computer
type 'fastboot -w' and 'fastboot reboot' in cmd

You can try by pulling out your battery, SIM card and SD card...
Note to you: Try everything that is possible and don't give up. Maybe you will fix it if you try.

It doesn't power at all
I DOESN'T connect to the pc
It Makes no difference if i have battery in or out .

NO BOOT! No power nothing
i followed the upgrade post in your 1t reply
it went all very well as i say
then it reboot and never got back

Hmm...probably give it a rest for a while...and then try again.
If all else fails..last resort.
Send back to LG for repairs or replacement.

I didn't even want to get into moddin the gt540 . Just the OFFICIAL 2.1 release really ..
And even that LG cant do without f&*kin me phone to Portuguese

i also have an e617g on 4.1.2 bell network id like to root and unlock the bootloader so i can install cwm and finally swap roms, this is a nice phone but it barely exists on the web any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

Never mind figured it out myself. I may post a guide here soon. Seeing as any help I ask for is ignored. I'd rather help than hold back

Turn your lG-e617g into an LG-e610 then root it and install cyanogenmod.

this is my first tutorial so message me if something on here isnt clear.
step 1: download things, this is crucial, you need to download this stuff, it took me a while to find everything that ACTUALLY WORKED so i have it all in a nice little package to download.
step 2: make sure your phone is NOT plugged in the computer, install drivers if you do not have them. i have the drivers that worked for me in the package via direct download links. if they dont work for you somethings screwy with your computer and youll have to scour the internet to find drivers that'll work, google is your friend.
step 3: make sure your phone is recognised with your lappytop or computer. thats right i said lappytop, so sue me.
step 4nce all the drivers are installed and your phone is connected to the computer youll want to open up the folder labled: "LG FlashTool and Accessories" inside youll find "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" open that right up.
step 5: next youll see a modded lg tool made by some guy on the internet, im not sure who but he/she did a good job thanks man/wo-man!!
ok youll want to leave all settings to default dont touch any thing, its good to go as is.
step 6: make sure phone is plugged in and usb debugging is enabled, use the kdz updater to browse for this file (download it via links in the package) "V10D_downgrade.kdz" then click on "Launch software update" this takes a while go make a coffee.
step 7: when its done its magic, your phone will boot up and youll see the LG logo for about 10 minutes any longer and your in a boot loop remove battery put it back in and hold both volume buttons down and power at the same time. time it carefully the lights on the soft keys will come on and a split second later the phone will slightly vibrate, the second you feel that press the home and hold it for about 10 seconds and the phone will do a hard reset, the phone will turn on now and initiate the first time use wizard, its in russian at first so just change your language to whatever, assuming english here. the phones software is now rooted just no su/superuser installed download from play store and update binary in settings of su app.
step 8: Unlocking bootloader time! after you flashed the software using kdz updater your phones ID is now technically an e610 now instead of an e617g, so unlocking the bootloader is now possible, connect your phone to computer, turn usb debugging on and drag and drop "emmc_appsboot.bin" into the root of your INTERNAL SD, also kill 2 birds with one stone here by also copying the recovery-clockwork-6.0.2.8-e610.img you downloaded via links in the txt document to the same place just rename it "recovery.img to make it easier also make sure you place the cm rom in the external sd. we need the bootloader unlocked to allow for cwm installation and good ol' rom swapping, open the folder "ADB" hold shift right click any where in the folder and select open "command window here",
type in the cmd window obviously without quotations: "adb shell" hit enter, then type "su" enter again then type "dd if=/sdcard/emmc_appsboot.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5" your bootloader is now unlocked, now type in "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17" this just installed clockwork mod. to boot into recovery and install cyanogen (the one im using. btw its a powerhouse compared to stock!!!) type in "reboot recovery"
step 9: factory reset, clear partition, wipe dalvik cache, install cyanogen, reboot, ENJOY.
seems i cant upload the programs needed so all i can do is this:

That happens when the kdz file is corrupted. Redownload the firmware and try again

its more than likely a bad connection causing a bad download also are you starting off with an e617g or e610?

Will all app data, contacts, etc. be lost using this method? Thanks in advance!

Can't root without recovery, can't install recovery without root

I've been going through quite a lot of headache just trying to root this old LG G2 (D801) of mine, and would really appreciate some help. First, I tried to go through the normal steps of ioroot. After having to perform some unknown button combination to access the stock recovery (which I could only do with random, continuous button mashing), I am greeted with an error about adb being outdated whenever I try to sideload the "datroot.zip" file. I eventually realized that, somehow, after trying to (and failing to) sideload adb is temporarily changed from 1.0.32 (as required) to 1.0.31, as I can see when I simply enter "adb" in the command prompt before and after attempting to sideload. Some Googling later eventually reveals that renaming adb.exe to something else (in this case I changed it to androiddb) fixes the problem, as it indeed does for that. I then, however, get it to sideload to what seems to be between 50-60% before it fails and the phone spits out the following:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
On the command prompt's side, it says this at the same time:
"loading: 'datroot.zip' adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
Total xfew: 1.22x"
After every attempt of Googling around for this, everyone seems to say that I need to use TWRP or CWM instead of the broken stock recovery, and from there just install the file as I've done before on different devices. The problem here is that, to my understanding, I actually need root in order to install a custom recovery, is that not the case? If so, how can I root in this situation if I can't install a recovery, which in turn requires me to root beforehand? If I could get any sort of guidance and hopefully regained sleep, I'd be greatly appreciative, as I'm sure you guys know far more about this kind of stuff than I do. Thank you.

try LG one click root .
Install latest adb drivers, enable USB debugging . connect USB to computer ,put the device on mtp interface. now click on the start button on LG one click root . If the tool stuck at 90% on computer (0% on firmware update screen on mobile) and if this happen couple of times just restart the phone by long pressing the power button while it's connected to the computer . It should then show 100% . After reboot look for supersu in device menu . It should get installed on your phone. If u cant then try the same procedure again. Use root checker to confirm .
And AUTOREC to install TWRP

No need to buy a new mobo. Just use one of the many downgrade guides and be on your merry way.
A full,. hard brick is pretty hard to get. You'll be ok, OP.

Since you aren't writing HOW you solved it, i will leave here my solution for other ppl
had this problem yesterday & solved it by myself.
u will need fastboot for this
1. Boot phone into fastboot (shut down completely, plug phone in to your pc while you're holding down the "VOL -" Button
2. now download this TWRP Recovery (https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/development/recovery-twrp-huawei-p9-lite-t3491847)
3. put the img file in the same folder as the "fastboot.exe"
4 go to the folder where your files are. hold shift and do a right click into your folder. Choose "Open Command Prompt here"
5. type in "fastboot devices" -- if your device is showing up then you can continue
6. type in "fastboot flash recovery FILENAME.img" (Change filename to the name of the recovery image)
7 If everything worked, shut down your phone.
8. Hold "Vol +" and the power button
The "untrusted device" screen will come. just pass it.
If everything worked and you're in the recovery then you can install every rom zip you want till ur phone works again
If something doesn't work or something is not clear then don't be afraid to ask
.... i hope i wrote everything right xD

if he couldn';t even boot in fastboot,,,then a new motherboard was required.

You see, he eventually managed to boot into fastboot, so your rash comment about getting a new motherboard was, well... kind of rash.

I bricked my phone when trying to downgrade from 7.0. I have bootloader unlocked and can get into fastboot screen but when I flash the recovery i get "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)".
They say that P9 Lite drivers should be installed (usually installs when Hisuite detects the phone). Unfortunately, I'm using a new PC. Or correct me if I'm wrong.
---------- Post added at 07:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 AM ----------
Ok just figured it out thanks to this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p9lite/help/flash-recovery-failed-remote-command-t3555563
it looks like a bug that says bootloader is unlocked even if it isn't. So just perform another bootloader unlock and go back to fastboot screen. You should be able to flash images now.

I have the same problem:
"FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
Any solution for this problem? I Cant boot into OS (boot loop). Fastboot and recovery are possible.

L29: Error Mode, Can't even access fastboot :(

I messed up
quick history:
I tried to install OREO using this guide. I debranded to Al10 and installed OREO, but google apps were not working so I tried to roll back. I used the SRK tool to debrand back to L29C185, and then used this nougat roll back package from here (using dload method). The dload update completed but after reboot I was getting the "Error mode" message. At this point I had access to fastboot but couldn't run any command and I would get:
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
I read other threads and tried to re-unlock the bootloader. I did that and the unlock oem command worked, but now I got stuck at Error mode and I can't even access the fastboot mode :'(
The current error page screenshot is attached.
Please tell me there is a way to fix this ='[

So you rebranded back to L29C185...
So you followed a downgrade to marshmallow guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ma...-emui-5-to-t3515202/post69986527#post69986527
And decided to stop at step 5 after using a only 100MB dload to downgrade from oreo to nougat...
And then decided to your lock bootloader
I would advise to use dload mode now to install a working nougat dload archive for L29C185.

Use that free one:

It should install fine and restore fully your device.

Thank you for your prompt reply. The thing is the phone is now in boot loop of that "Error mode" screen shot. I hold vol + and - as soon as it resets but the recovery (for installing dload) won't show up and again the "error mode" page shows up. Do you think this can be fixed if I wait for the battery to drain and phone shuts down?
Thanks again,

Try again with no usb cable plugged in and with a sd or USB-OTG exfat formatted.
Battery drain, you'll see...

I tried unzipped the ROM and put it in dload folder of the sd card (I had used the same sd card with dload method several times).
Holding down vol+ and - doesn't do anything and doesn't run the recovery. The whole thing is just a boot loop of that screen shot.
What do you mean by "battery drain ... you'll see" ? Should I let the battery die before trying that? the battery is not drained yet.

In this "error mode" boot loop nothing is shown in the windows device manager. Also there is no plug and play sound , as if USB is not connected at all. Probably because it is not in fastboot mode, right?

Huawei service care ?
Or open phone, use testpoint:
https://easy-firmware.com/media/articles/large/2018/08/17/237829-1534544261.jpg
and use a paying timed license to flash a working firmware with DC/HCU/HDE... Tools.

For any one who ended up visiting this thread I actually had to do what oslo suggested. This is the method 3 of DC-unlocker. Paid for a 3-day license of dc-unlocker and HCU and then used the testpoint method to fix the phone. Two points:
- when you are doing that in windows 10, you have to disable the driver signature enforcement to be able to install install the Huawei com driver.
- The test point is just one point, meaning that the other point is the ground (practically most of those silver metals beside the test points are all ground)

Hi guys, I messed up my mate 8 64gb variant. C636. Im not sure exactly what has happened with the phone but I'll explain. I updated to nougat, unlocked bootloader and then completely forgot that with nougat..you can't root the same way as with mm. Now all I get is the your device is unlocked and cant be trusted msg....and that's it!.
What exactly has happened? Vol up + down +power doesn't work and I have no erecovery.
What's the best way to fix this?

Try dload method. Create dload folder in sd card, then from nougat zip rom extract UPDATE.APP and place in the folder. With phone off press and hold Vol up + down +power.
