Hi guys,
I have an E973 (Canadian version) and recently it got bricked. So I decided to restore to stock using KDZ files. Thing is, once the KDZ process ended I was stuck on a boot loop so I used wipe.bat but everytime I use that file, I end up with this screen.
I can still get in Download mode and Recovery though. If I turn the phone off, it will just restart and get stuck on the LG logo again.. i've tried doing the whole process again and again but it's not working..
HELP PLEASE. (((
Thanks!

how can I do a factory reset when I can't access to the phone itself? Can you please tell me the steps? I can only get in Download and recovery mod. Thanks!
Press and hold Volume Down Key + Power/Lock Key at the same time isn't doing anything..

Correct way is
Both volume keys pressed' than press power
You will get a fastboot kinda screen
Now press volume down twice
Now press power
USB cable should be un plugged
Also if this doesn't work, go to download mode and flash kdz again.

So, as you said, I turned off the phone, pressed on both volume keys THEN power button and it's not doing anything.. I've tried to flash Kdz multiple times before posting this topic.. I really don't know what to do..
When KDZ-ing, patience is a virtue.

Try just Volume Down and Power, not both volume keys. Or just google Optimus G hard reset.

Here is the tutorial for hard reset! Good luck!:good:
Hello, I have an LG Optimus G (LG-E973). I had Cyanogen-Mod Nightly Build installed on my device, but my rear-facing camera would not work... so I tried to downgrade to the latest stable release of Cyanogem-Mod. in the process I am assuming something went wrong, when my phone booted back up, the android keyboard would not work... so I could not proceed with initial setup... so I tried to revert to stock LG Rom using this method --> forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010624
I followed each step, my phone got stuck on LG boot logo, so I proceeded to perform a manual wipe, as indicated in the tutorial. my phone rebooted automatically (as it said it would in the steps). afterwards I get the dead android with the red triangle floating above it.
Does any-one know what I can do to fix this? I tried the process 2 times and got the same result both times.
thanks,
Don't know what process your doing, but it's pretty simple to flash kdz.
Anyway if you already flashed kdz than do this
Long press power' 10 to 15 seconds, unplug USB cable from phone
Both volume keys pressed' than press power
You will get a fastboot kinda screen
Now press volume down twice
Now press power

So I tried to do the steps above, but it didn't change anything... when I hold the two volume keys during power on, it brings me to download mode (Where normally I would flash the KDZ) there are no options, it's just a screen with text that explains what download mode is, and an LG logo... any thoughts?
Thanks,
If your can get into download mode. It can be fixed. Check your pm

Hi, I have an LG Optimus G Pro F240s that needs sign in info after many wrong screen lock pattern attempts. I've tried to re flash the phone using LG Flash tool with .kdz file but after finish flashing it's still in the same locked state. How to hard reset this phone please?
can anyone help? anyone? I really need the help..thanks in advace
Try the power button and volume down combinacion
Or only the volume down pressed on turning on your device
Are some button combinacion which may help factory reset your phone

Solution found and solved...
Press and hold volume down + Home + Power until black screen that says Factory Reset shows.
Then press power button 3 times to reset the phone. I did this many times before but it didn't work that's why I posted for help but for some reason this time it works..Maybe all 3 buttons need to be pressed at precise the same time..I don't know, but it works.. Hope it helps others...Thanks
Hi, I have an e980 stock rooted and unlocked with freegee, I can enter recovery from the ROM reboot menu but I can not figure out how to boot into recovery from power off, I followed a tutorial that says to press any key before the capacitive keys light on, but my lights never turn on.
Any help would be great, thanks very much.

I have been told, but I'm not sure, since I don't have my device yet, that holding the volume down button and home gets you recovery, but I agree that there really ought to be an FAQ with questions like:
How do I?
Get to download mode?
Get to recovery?
Factory reset?
Flash a stock ROM?
Flash a custom ROM/Recovery, etc.?

Hold power, volume up and home all at the same time. LG will disappear, as soon as it reappears release them and it will put you into the recovery menu.

holding power-volume down-home takes you to the hard reset then you press power to confirm reset or any other key to exit hard reset. I just need the combo to go to recovery from power off.
Thanks for the response, I'll keep waiting to see if someone else got it.

Edit: Awesome!! Psal217050 that did it, thank you very much!!!

Many thanks man.It's working...I was searching this for hours!
It is true that someone has to post a complete guide on this subject for different devices and generally how to install custom recoveries,Roms etc. on different devices. Till now there is not a complete guide for this. For example Lg G Pro users, like me, have to find out that they must use FreeGee to install a custom recovery to their phone.
I hope that someone will do it one day.
Again many thanks! +1 Thanks from me

Does this apply to all types/versions of CWM recovery? Don't want to end up resetting my phone so am just using third party app.
Is there no recovery on our phones? I am stock no root or anything and can not go into recovery?

So I have been trying to do this for two days. Every time I begin from battery pull to pressing: vol up+home button+power button. First LG symbol shows then LED home button flashes and then device shuts off before second LG symbol.

No need to press home key, just vol up and power key and release only power key once first lg logo appears on the screen, and make sure you do have a recovery, otherwise install rebooter app from market

Power+Vol Up, keep them pressed, and then when LG logo appears press volume down twice. Works for me.
not working...

What kind of recovery do you have? I.e. stock, cwm, or twrp?
With my phone off, I press vol. up + home + power until the LG logo appears then disappears. At that point I let go of them. Never failed to get into recovery that way no matter what recovery I used.

Its stock recovery.
I don't know that my bootloader is locked or not, I bought this phone rooted. Can I flash recovery without knowing bootloader status? What risks are involved if the recovery installation goes wrong?
Why are you trying to go into the stock recovery? I mean you can't install anything with it as far as i know. If you're trying to install the custom recovery, you will need to unlock the bootloader first, then root the phone. It sounds like you are new at this stuff.
If you can still get into your OS, try root and install the custom recovery from there. Else if you don't have the OS anymore, you may have to reinstall the stock ROM by getting into the download mode.
my phone cannot boot into stock recovery mode by buttens even with some third party apps it boots. i dont know what the problem is??? I'll be thankful if someone can give me the exact procedure..

hello
i have an unlocked boot loader and rooted optimus g E971. today i flashed rom kitkat 4.4 everything went well no issues. I decided to go back to my back up and reflashed my stock rom once again everything went well. i noticed i was still rooted when i went back to stock but wasn't when on 4.4 which is another topic later. anyways i decided to install rom manager to experiment and i had stability issues with it. i noticed the phone would crash and reboot with secure booting error, i was able several times to restart phone and use. Now the phone cracshed before i could delete rom manger and im stuck on secure booting error. I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44874388&postcount=36 however the problem is i can't get into download mode or recovey... Phone does nothing but say secure booting error,boot certification verify. trying numerous times nope not happening .after reading several posts im assuming this is all because the bootloader was not unlocked after reflashing back to stock.. is my phone garbage or how can i fix...pls help :crying:
This means you didn't unlock the bootloader.
To enter download mode,turn off the phone,then press vol up+vol down at the same time and plug the micro usb cable to pc. You will enter download mode. After using kdz updater,make a hard reset by turning off phone,then press vol down+power at the same time,until the hard reset menu will appear. Press power twice to confirm and that's it. A new stock phone.
After this,you can root and unlock it again. Just remember to put somewhere safe the freegee folder after you unlock.

Press just the power button for a minute
Now press both volume buttons and plug in the USB cable. It should go into download mode.
If not press power again for a minute and plug in charger and see if it shows regular charging animation.
