i tried to update via LGMobile Support Tool but it stuck at 4% and i pull out the usb ... and my phone didn't opened anymore since then(black screen)... i think is bricked...i tried to connect in emergency mode without battery and volum key but nothing ... the pc sees " LGE android platform USB serial port (com5)" in device manager, but when i try to update with KDZ_FW_UPD it says that the phone isn't connected...
any ideas would be helpfull... thx
last option will be jtag in an authorized service...
L.E. I've tried with B2CAppSetup and pc recognize my device as p705 with software v20b but i can't do anything ...
I have the same EXACT problem! The 4% thing happened to me too. But in my case I own a LG Optimus L5 (very similar).
So far, no solution. I did, however, found some light in a post in cyanogenmod forums. I can't post the link, but search for "Hard Brick - To Hell And Back - Guide To Recovery".
Using that software we should be able to rewrite the firmware. Please, take a look, we can pull this off if we help each other.
The problem is that the firmware of the LG Optimus L5/L7 does not contains the same filenames requested by the software, so I'm stuck there.
Last resource: using the "riff box jtag", but it's expensive (for me) and I have to buy it abroad, since I'm from Argentina.
Did you managed something else?
dont worry try again install stock firmware on LG support tool, dont worry if it stops on 4% i had this too, maybe after 10 min it will load 5% and then no stops anymore.
sorry for bad english
The problem is that LG Support tool won't recognize my phone anymore it won't even turn on.
Hello Guys,
yor are my last hope!
I tried to root my device but there was no working way for it.
So i decided to use this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/root-t-mobile-lg-leon-5-1-1-lollipop-t3194145) to root my phone. I didn't know that this Telekom software is simlocked so i used another guide to unbrick it. Unfortunately it came out that the software i used at this time was the metro pcs version of the stock firmware.
Now i am looking for a working stock firmware cause every german/france software from this pages (http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=171) and (http://www.lg-phones.org/category/lg-leon) didn't worked for me.
Every time i tried the 3GCT with Emergency and the cdma with cs_emergency way.
But it always ends in a bootloop with the lg logo and the android symbol then restart and long time LG logo.
I don't understand why Telekom and Metro PCS versions worked but the others don't.
It would be great if you could explain me this.
Greetings
Sven
Hi there! I'm in the same situation. :/ Any help?
I have the same problem too. There's already topic about this, but nobody found solution yet. :/
My god! I have the same BIG problem with LG Leon LTE H340n (C50)! HELP!
Help
Hey guys, I'm a new member so I can't start my own thread so I figured I'd try this out. I bought a LG risio (Leon) off of craigslist and the dude factory reset it when I handed him the cash but now it's asking me for a e-mail or phone number that was previously used with the phone and now I can't get a hold of the guy. Is there any way to get past this situation or am I screwed?
Please don't hate on me for posting this where I did. I just don't have any other options so if someone can help me please do.

YES i unlocked the bootloader
Hello everyone! This is my first post on this site. Im so sorry for my poorly english, but i'm enough desperate to write here. I got this phone in bad condition. I will not explain what exactly happened, but it was started from the fact, that system wasn't work good. Keyboard has been permanently removed, a lot of system applications/functions (e.g Sms or notifications bar) didn't work. Some processes e.g "com.android.whatever" had a 0,00 bytes. Immediately point out, that was a brand soft from Plus ( one of hugest operators from my country).
Factory reset didn't resolve the problem. Owner was tried to install new system by KDZ Updater and solutions like a "unbrick-guide-lg-leon-lte-metropcs-lgms345-kdz-firmware" (this is a full link but i can't add him to this post) or something like this. Just he had MetroPCS ROM. Then he wanted back to old, Brand ROM, and tried with similar guides, also by KDZ files and applications. Each attenpt was ended in the bootloop, since the Download Mode was got error like this:
[470] fastboot_init()
[480] Loading keystore failed status 5 [580] USB init ept Q 0x8f1df000
[600] udc_start()
[710] -- reset --
[720] --portchange --
[810] -- reset --
[810] -- portchange --
Now, smartphone is in my hands. The same problem was appeared when i was plug phone to my PC. Device manager showed:
Other devices - Android (yellow exclamation mark)
However, I discovered something strange. Download mode which showed this error is launches by holding Volume DOWN and plug to PC. When I press Volume UP and plug to PC appears... Update Firmware Mode. But PC still don't recognize this mode.
I was dicovered, that "USER" (in this field down in this Firmware Update mode) changing number. Sometimes it is "USER B100 or USER B96, USER B98...)
And that in Devices Manager:
Mobile Devices LGE Andoid MTP Device (yellow exclamation mark)
I tried with many variants of LG drivers, from many sites and none of them don't solve the problem
I haven't idea what I can do in current situation. I can't install KDZ ROM to the phone, because both of Download Mode can't connect with the PC. For the same reason I can't fix the "udc start" error. Phone has a bootloop. Recovery mode by LG can only performing a factory reset. Is it possible to fix this problem?
I think I was tried everything. I was used every one hint from the Internet, and I'm at a standstill. It remains only to give the phone for authorized LG service?
I was trying to update with LGUP application for firmware update but didn't success, so I removed the USB cable and pressed Volume down and power button to restart. But it went straight into Firmware Update and LGUP application can't find the port.
So, my phone is stucking in Firmware update screen, please help me how to restore the firmware and get out from Firmware Update screen, many thanks and greatly appreciated.
Hold the power button until you get a black screen. Download LG Mobile Support tool and the LG Drivers. Plug USB In and then hold the Power + Volume Up key. On your screen, click Upgrade Recovery. From there, you can do a factory reset through download mode of your phone.
Enter download mode and connect the phone in the PC. Download LG brige and open it. When you are inside the programe you will see a window of Software update enter here and there is an option that is for bad installation otas (to reinstall and correct errors). Use this and I think this will handle.
Another option I think is using LG Up you will see your device in download mode. Try to enter download mode and see if this works also.
Thanks both - I ran into a similar situation. I pulled down both the 11a and 14a KDZ files, and used UpperCut and LGUP to flash first the 14a and then the 11a image. Unfortunately in both cases after LGUP does its thing, I'm getting the LG logo, followed by fastboot screen.
I cannot reboot to get past it, and I cannot flash recovery (it says the boot loader is locked). I cannot flash the Unlock.bin from LG because apparently the KDZ re-enabled the software lock prohibiting bootloader unlocks.
So I'm suck with a phone that will only boot into fastboot, stock recovery or into download mode, and I cannot figure out how to get back to something functional. I've tried reflashing with LGUP - that doesn't work. And the LG Bridge "Update Error Recovery" option gives an error "Connect your mobile device to the USB Port" even though it is, and the LG USB drivers are installed.
Would appreciate any pointers someone could offer.

I have the same issue - I was on Lineage os and flashing the OTA update caused bootloop to recovery. So I wanted to flash back to stock using LGUP and 14A. I did that before without issues.
This time though all installed fine but after reboot the phone immediately goes to fastboot, exactly as described above. I just spend several hours trying to fix it but with no results. The LG Bridge won't recognize the phone no matter what I do in Windows (tried 3 different PCs). On a Mac it will start connecting and will end up saying "you need to enable MTP connection".
From what I garther the stock rom flashed fine - the factory reset works, even shows "erasing data", the LG UP recognizes the phone as 14A (I tried 11A, 13A too - seems to install fine but goes immediately to fastboot after reboot).
The only thing I realized I did different when flashing the stock rom with LGUP was not using the original LG USB cable. But reflashing with original cable makes not difference now - still going to fastboot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have you guys been able to do the Upgrade recovery in the LG support tool? Did it work? It starts fine for me but after downloading the recovery file I always get and error, see the screenshot.
I was able to grab the kdz file and tried to flash it with LGUP but still the same thing. It seems like it flashes fine but after reboot it immediately goes to fastboot

Sadly I'm in the same boat as well. I'll pull some of their error messages I've gotten with LG Flash Tool this afternoon. I've tried 2014 and 2017. Both to no success.
I suspect it may be something with the /misc partition. Im going out on a limb, but I'm guessing that the AOSP and Lineage ROMs may touch misc. That partition may have some key identifiers for the LG tools. And the KDZ doesn't have a misc partition embedded inside it.
I was hoping the kdz file I was able to grab from the Lg Support tool would be different from regular stock rom 14a that is available around the internet but it appears to be exactly the same file (based on the file size). My original hope was that the file would support "Refurbish" option in the LGUP tool but it only works with "Upgrade".
I wonder if the "Refurbish" option would fix this and re-flashed all partitions - if only we could find a kdz file that would work with the refurbish option. So far all files I tried (11a, 13a, 14a) only support the upgrade option.
Thanks for all of your helps, I used LGUP and WondersMobile application on the computer and LGUP can not see the port. I did un-install the WondersMobile and LGUP can see the port and finally upgraded to latest firmware.

I too am having same problem. I've tried all the images from 11A to 14A, all of them flash with no errors on LGUP and every time LGUP detects the phone as having the last version flashed. Unfortunately, the phone also boots to fastboot every time. Nothing else to add to your descriptions at this time I'm afraid...

I am absolutely positive my problem is at least in part due to a messed up /misc partition though. @gqo actually described what I did pretty thoroughly in his thread, albeit in a G5. Post #9 has the fix but it didn't work for me.
I've also stumbled upon a menu under the Firmware Update screen that I had never seen before and cannot fin any mention to... Would any of you guys know what it is for? It reads something like:
Code:
** SELECT MENU **
** Select : Power Key(Long) **
** Move : Power Key(Short) **
-> MA-USB(WIFI) DL
POWER OFF
PHONE INFO
BACK
Okay, I figured it out. The menu, at least the first option, appears to be for Wi-Fi firmware update. I wonder what file the phone actually downloads... And if it would be able to fix our phones. The only unprotected network I had in hand was a mobile hotspot in my not-so-LTE Nexus 5, so I got as far the firmware download start but didn't risk it on such a slow and unpredictable network. On top of that my Nexus 5 has also gotten pretty good at bootlooping, that's why I got this G6 in the first place. If anyone out there has a reliable unprotected network and nerves of steel it could be interesting to see if the outcome of this update is different from the LGUP one.
How do you access this menu?
What I started working on yesterday is trying to build a image file for the Qualcomm Flash Image loader and see if I can flash the phone using this tool... But I have never used this tool before, right now it does not detect my phone - I need to work on that + see if I can correctly build the image file from kdz. I found some youtube step by step tutorials so we will see. I will post update on the progress tonight or tomorrow.

I'm not sure if there's a better way to do it, but I access it by removing the usb cable after I successfully get in Download Mode. Then I'm not sure if there's any specific key combo, I've been randomly pressing the power and the volume down buttons and at some point I get into that menu. In the menu though, for some reason, I think I can only select an option if I long press both the volume down and power buttons. The "POWER OFF" option has come in handy because so far is the only way I can actually turn my phone off. The "PHONE INFO" hasn't worked for me yet. The menu also reacts when you add/remove the microsd card... I wonder if it can be used for something other than a WiFi firmware upgrade. I haven't had the chance to connect the phone to a computer to see how the device is recognized, if at all.
And that image you're working on sounds like a neat idea, I wish I could help but I'm afraid I wouldn't have the skill. I may be able to test though. Anyway, Godspeed!

I'll play around a bit and see if I can land on this menu. At this point I'll try anything. I'm on an iPhone until I get this fixed - so I'm motivated!
I can setup an open guest network off my main wi-fi this evening and see what I can find out.
EDIT Sorry, I tried playing around here, but I couldn't figure out how to get back into the the menu you uncovered. If you could give some instructions on how to do it, I'm happy to give it a shot on my device.
I was able to access the menu today...what worked for me was at the firmware screen unplug the usb cable and then press volume down and power button three times quickly. I tried to connect to a wifi and it does not really do anything. I think it just establishes wifi connection but it does not download anything on it's own - it's waiting for another connection.
Also I got stuck with building the image file from kdz, it has no information on partitions. At this point I decided to ship to LG for a quote and will see how much they will ask for a reflash.
I got as far as selecting a network and getting some sort of a download start screen, but I interrupted it right away so I wasn't sure the download would actually go through... Apparently it does not. If this menu has some sort of flashing capabilities though, it might be worth checking how secure it is. If someone can get it to download and flash a modded file perhaps there could be a chance of flashing a custom recovery or something... I'm thinking about those guys that have an unlockable bootloader (which we ironically also have now).
Anyway, all of this goes well beyond my skill so I followed your example and submitted a repair service request to LG. It'll take quite long but shipping is free, so I figured I'd give it a try. I'm assuming this is an easy fix with the right software tools, so I hope LG doesn't overcharge for it. I'm even half hoping they'll do it under the limited warranty... If I recall correctly unlocking the bootloader doesn't immediately void all warranty, there's room to prove the bootloader was never actually unlocked. And after all LG does say that once unlocked, it cannot be undone and our phones are, in fact, running stock firmware and have a locked bootloader.
Update: My phone was received today by LG. In LG's Track Repair page, the status briefly showed as Undergoing Diagnostic but quickly moved to Repair In Progress, it's current status. Given that LG was supposed to contact me in case the repair was not covered by the limited warranty, meaning that an extra fee would've to be paid, I'm assuming the phone will be fixed (if possible, that is) free of charge. I will update you guys again soon, but if anyone out there is still struggling with this issue I'd recommend considering sending the phone to LG.
I have the exact same problem. Please keep us in the loop of what happens to your phone with LG
My phone has been received by LG for this issue on 9/26. It quickly moved through diagnostic to "repair in progress" on the first day plus showed ETA back to me in 6 business days. Ever since that it's stuck in that mode, no update or contact from LG. I check the status every day - every day it says the same - ETA 6 business days. It's been a week and half now with no update. I kind of expected it's going to take 2-3 weeks but annoyed that they say 6 days ETA and then you don't hear from anyone for almost 2 weeks with no change in status.
Update #2: The status finally moved to Shipped To Customer. I haven't been contacted by LG yet, so I guess the phone could've been shipped fixed as much as it could've been shipped as is for being unfixable. Either way, I wasn't and most likely won't be charged. FedEx hasn't got an ETA for the delivery, but I'll let you guys know as soon as I get my phone back.
Edit: Got an e-mail from LG. It reads something like:
Defect: Software failure
Payment Type: NOT APPLICABLE
Repair Results: S/W upgrade (download)
Repair Cost: $ 0.00
Warranty Status: In Warranty
Tax: $ 0.00
Total: $ 0.00
I guess I got away with it, I hope you guys do too.

Hey guys!!!
Can you please help me with this?
Yesterday i tried to install a new ROM on my LG Android phone (My LG phone is not working properly, it has a reboot loop). I tried to do a factory reset without success -> the dead Android logo appeared :/
I put my phone in Download Mode and connected to the pc but Windows does not recognize my phone.. it says: "USB device not recognized.. the last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it"
I do not know what to do now.. when i try to flash a ROM with the LG Flash Tool it fails because LG program does not recognize my device..
PS: LG Support Tool recognizes my phone (it shows the model) but i cannot flash a ROM
Thanks!!:fingers-crossed:

Were you using a custom recovery? (i.e. TWRP)? If so, are you able to boot into recovery? It was a few years ago but whenever that happened to me I would have to use the hard reset option. If I remember correctly, on my LGG2, I would hold down the power button and the volume down button at the same time until the LG logo appears, then right when it appears, release and re-press both buttons again holding them down again until the hard reset option showed. Then when it asked me if I was sure I wanted to reset my phone, select yes (it made nervous the first ten times or so). Eventually I began to trust it would, in fact, do what I was informed it would do which was boot into TWRP without actually resetting anything. From there I was always able to flash a new ROM etc. Anyway, if you knew all that sorry, just trying to help. If not, please get second opinions since I will not be held responsible for your device and since it's been years since I tinkered with mine. Having a Samsung now, I don't mess with it cause rooting a Samsung Note trips Knox and then Samsung Pay is disabled.
Anyway, happy flashing and best of luck to you. It was an awesome hobby while I was involved with it.
Cheers!
