I got stuck in the same situation the other day.. I used freegee.. you just have to click no when it first asks you if you want to bypass LG security...then select CWM and install..

Despite the firm conviction on the part of many, the e988 is not identical to the e980.
For one thing, there's no 32GB variant of the e988, and if you notice there are countless reports of problems like boot, sound, signal issues when flashing e980 ROMs on the e988. I am convinced that it probably has a different partition map and that the firmware expects things to be in a different place than they are.
In short, I would not trust the rumor and long held belief that all the 98x variants are identical. It's clear from repeated experience that they are not. It's time we talk about it at the risk of offending even smart devs who are convinced that they are.

I found this when flash original stock rom
"Phone type Compare start

and've tried 3 different computers, Windows 8, 7, and xp ..
the result is the same .. such driver does not detect my device ..
I was really dizzy now.
I've Followed the instructions above. when pressing processes, such as the hardware is not detected and get the message that batrey weak. though still about 90% ..
my device is E988 Indonesian version, I use a custom rom for e980 PAC-rom and TWRP recovery.

I tried to flash the
Liquid JB v2.1 beta2 rom and the gapps jb 20121212-signed package. I used the Unified toolkit to root. It rooted fine. I rebooted in recovery, installed the Liquid rom, then the gapps, then I tried to reboot. Got nothing but a black screen.
Took the battery out, tried the wall charger, USB charger. Nothing works.

What did you use to flash your ROM. Bottom line is you need to try to get into download mode. I believe the key combo is hold down power + volume down + home. If that boots you into download mode just flash back to stock.

You didn't make a backup before flashing?.. Can you get the phone into recovery?
I made a nandroid backup and thats on the SD card but I can't get into download or recovery. All I get is a black screen no matter what I press or do.

Looks like you're most likely hard bricked. That's an HTC One X ROM. Looking at the installer script, it uses mount points that don't match the d2att. It writes the system files to mmcblk0p12, which is the modem on our phone. Also, it writes the kernel to mmcblk0p4, which is also incorrect (I think it's for boot screen images?). Sorry.
Wado unfortunately I've hard bricked two S3's so I know how you feel it's a sinking feeling indeed. I have learned from my foolish mistakes though. I feel for you man.

[Q] What have I done to my phone?! URGENT

Hi all! I'm new here so please refrain from flaming me...
I'm no noob to flashing the rom on my phone as I have successfully carried out the procedure multiple times. However, on this occasion things didn't go as planned. I began the procedure to update my S3 via odin to the new firmware that was released yesterday, however when the process got to 'system.img' the status bar just hung in the same place (just past the beginning of the bar) for a good 20 minutes... I panicked and unplugged my phone... BAD MOVE. I now get the error message "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." and the only thing I can do is put my phone in odin mode, which I did, and tried to install the stock jelly bean rom, the exact same thing happened as before...
What should I do?
Thanks in advance

I don't believe we have that for our model.
If you can still get download mode there's hope, maybe not a lot in this case, but there is some.
Try to flash cwm or twrp via odin. If successful boot recovery and try to flash a stock rom. Hopefully it only screwed up the system partition. ...
Never unplug till odin says either PASS, FAIL, or RESET. You may end up really lucky this time. If its taking a long time, just leave the room.

When I try a whole firmware flash it just hangs right after it starts, and when I tried to boot recovery (was that what was previously suggested?) it says fail...

Oh right, my bad. When I try to boot into recovery the error screen saying to recover with Kies pops up.

Guys, even better news... That thread was the solution! My phone is now back to normal! I did lose a lot of pictures, but oh well, I'm glad I have my phone back to normal. Thanks for all your help! :good:
Wow! Ok, I am glad you got it working again, but you took a huge risk flashing that. Luckily its just the kernel aparently, but you should never flash anything from the international forum. More hard bricks have occured from flashing international stuff than anything else.
Just pointing this out so you or others reading this don't take it as meaning they can flash international roms and mods.
Glad it did work out for you though!

Thank you for the info! I keep that in mind so I don't run into any other problems. Now, I'm deciding whether I should try to install that firmware that caused the problem again... Even though I know what to do in the event that odin hangs, the results may not be the same... What do you think?
On a side note: It seems I only text messages and app settings, luckily I backed up my phone with Kies a few days ago so it's all good

Before you do, check under the battery so you are certain of the phone model. There are 3 variants if the T999, and they cannot flash each others firmware.
Also, I don't believe you mentioned which firmware you tried, or I missed it, but which was it?
And i said it before, but do not unplug during flash. It may seem to take forever if it hangs, but it will eventually Fail out if it does.

Okay, it's definitely the GT-I9300, and the firmware I tried to flash was this one from SamMobile:
GT-I9300 United Kingdom 2013 July 4.1.2 I9300XXEMG4 I9300OXAEMG4
And okay, it's just that it it hung for so long I thought "well, that's not right", panicked, then yeah, messed up my phone.

Ahhhh, well, I know now why it didn't brick your phone when you flsshed thst kernel! You do hsve the correct phone for that. So you will need to reverse what I told you and do not flsdh anything from this forum! Sorry for the confusion, I assumed you had a T999.
It sounds like you have the right firmware, but I know very little about the international models. They are very different than ours. You should definitely go to the International forum from here on. Very little info you get here will be relevant and you cannot use any of our roms or otherwise.
Good luck!

[Q] Sprint LG Optimus G incorrect software

So yesterday I traded my Nexus 7 tablet for a LG Optimus G. I rooted it, unlocked bootloader using a .jar software the trader provided me. Everything went well, but since I have no internet on my old Dell running XP, I had to use other means to flash TWRP recovery. Something didn't go right and my phone was bricked. So the guy I traded with was nice enough to come all the way back to me, and give me a KDZ file he found on the internet to restore it using the KDZ Firmware Update from LG. Took me a while to work it but it fixed my phone, only issue now is the software version in Software Information is now E97310f and won't let me update. It used to be LS970 so on ZVB. All my Sprint apps are missing, each time I restart the phone it says Unfortunately software update has stopped. In general, I'm guessing this was not for a Sprint LGOG.
Any ideas on how I can return it back to normal? I plan on connecting it with Sprint and want it to have their crappy bloatware.

Nothing there could really help me. And now that I'm considered a E973, drivers are a whole different story, fastboot mode seems to no longer exist, all I can do is get into some sort of useless recovery mode. This is a nightmare. This stock version is bad in performance. I feel like the device is clocked at 1.2 instead of its meant to be 1.5. What the heck am I to do?

I'm going with that, but I have never used the LGNPST so I'm a bit stuck. I downloaded a .bin from there, grabbed the LGNPST software from a different site, and now I'm trying to figure out how to combine the two. And the recovery screen isn't like the regular "use the volume and power button" recovery, its just a white window with a two arrows making a circle type recovery that they call "Recovery Mode" and has no particular function other than to hold power for 8 seconds to reboot normally.
Okay so I figured out how to use LGNPST but I seemed to have flashed some other type of incorrect object. The bin I used made my LGOG boot up with the same fast boot and TWRP recovery as my Nexus 7 had. Aka the boot is now Google with the unlocked symbol beneath. Now when I try to flash the old incorrect KDZ file from the E97310f, no good. So my problem went from OK to just plain worse. I'm looking to find the correct teenybin necessary in order to then try to flash the ZV8's ZDK file. Now my device is really bricked with a TWRP and a locked boot loader. Isn't that sweet (sarcastically)

Also forgot to mention each time I use LGNPST the device boots at 67% leaving the rest incomplete, then shoots up to 85%. Perhaps its why the KDZ no longer works. I'm guessing using LGNPST was bad from the beginning. Should've stuck to finding the original KDZ instead.

That's just what lgnpst does. You should not be using a kdz. You should be using either zv9.bin or zvb.bin. if you're going to use Sprint. The bins are in the same place I led you to for lgnpst.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Well you were quite right in a way! Thanks! This will sound crazy, but I used the LGNPST to flash the alternative LS970 bin provided. It gave the fast boot mode, Google boot, and TWRP 2.5, unlike the last one I mentioned that wouldn't let me use the ZDK file. So what I did was I tried pulling the same trick used to push a zip file to my Nexus 7 when I accidentally wiped everything. It was a bit of a crazy stunt, but I used the Nexus 7 Toolkit 5 to push a custom ROM I downloaded here on XDA thru TWRP. I had tried before on the last bin I flashed and no good. Tried again and it actually pushed the file. From there I used TWRP to install the zip and well here I am writing this from my new ROM. The info shows LS970. The XDA app as well as you can see below. Had to reroot it using the ZV9/ZVB Universal Root as GIAO would said my device is unsupported. Not quite sure if the boot loader is unlocked though. I'll probably stop messing with this thing here before I make it any worse. Thanks alot
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
GAIO is outdated, but a least you're rooted. And unlocked too if you were able to flash a ROM. It sounds like you used a teeny bin to get going. Not zv9 or zvb.bin. You should be good to go.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Yeah it was all working perfectly, until yesterday where I turned it off last night as I've done each night since fixed, but this morning, no boot. Now no matter how many different roms I try to flash from it's SD card, or which different teenybin I flash, it won't fix the situation. Im guessing it's a security issue, although I did nothing really to provoke it. Any idea how to fix it or completely format everything including TWRP and the fastboot altogether?
Sent from my LG-LS670 using xda app-developers app
Actually, never mind...the thing randomly decided to boot after deleting some files thru TEEPee. Coincidence is that yesterday I downloaded FreeGee, it didn't detect my device as a LS970, and it left behind a file. When I recalled that thought and deleted the file, ta da. Works fine....

Lost Stock TWRP backup......

Hi there, yesterday I was trying to flash carbon onto my E980 and it kept saying it failed, so I re-read the installation guide and it had said to wipe everything from the phone and i guess my stupidity struck... I decided that I should wipe clean my phone, data and all.. Originally I had a backup of the stock rom just rooted and i forgot to transfer that to my external. SOOO now I'm kinda stuck with no OS and unable to flash any roms.. I was wondering if anyone out there had a TWRP backup of their stock ROM that I could potentially restore through the Recovery. I tried using the LG Flashtool to try and flash the stock ROM back on but all it did was stay at Ready!! even after I plugged in my phone.
Keep trying with the flash tool. Sometimes you need to unplug the phone a couple of times. Sometimes once. This will be you best option.

Question though, am I supposed to get the LG USB/Parallel Lock Key is not detected error when i try to load up the LG flashtool 1.5?
When you extract LGFlashtools there should be two dll files. change the name of the csmg_reg_key.dll to csmg_reg_key.bak
When I did that, I was able to use the megalock.dll that loads the tool. Also don't forget to change the date to prior of August 2012 and be off the internet. Follow the instructions provided in the OP of the LGFlashtool link. I didn't provide it here because I assume you do have it or we wouldn't be doing this.
Ok ill try it again after I get off work, hopefully I can get it back to stock

OK so, after i changed the csmg_reg_key.dll to csmg_reg_key.bak i got an error on the flashtool that said "The DLL for Authentication is not found!!" and flashtool doesnt load up.. I did download the flashtool from the OP's mirror so I'm not sure if that had anything to do with it but unfortunately its still not working...
Did you extract the dll from this link to that folder?

Okay so I extracted everything in the LG Flashtool rar file into my C:\LG\LGFlashTool folder along with whatever installed from the setup file, i got it to load without giving me the usb error and what not. Now I tried to flash it again, but it just stays at Ready!! and nothing else.... I've even let it sit for a long time in hopes for it to pick up the phones plugged in and start flashing but nothing at all. Am I doomed with no way to go back to stock? Not gonna lie... even though I finally got the phone to flash to CyanogenMod 10.2, i still miss the stock features of the phone.
You might need to unplug and plug the phone in, wait for a few seconds, and If that doesn't work, do it again. Sometimes several times. Make sure you have the drivers installed and you change the the date. You're getting closer.

I've searched all over, but haven't found anything specific to this. I have a rooted e980 with a stock rom and CWM. It's been running great for a couple of months. I woke up this morning and it was on the CWM start screen. I figured it reset overnight and somehow got there. Anyway, I can't get it out of CWM. I've rebooted, battery pulled, and even restored several backups I had. They all complete successfully, then the phone reboots and goes right back into CWM. I even went and installed an old backup of a Carbon ROM I had, and it does the same thing: stays in CWM.
Any ideas? I don't want to keep screwing with it and really brick it.
I had the same thing happen to me as well...I tried restores...factory resets and nothing would work...the only option I had was to return stock using lg flash tools...you will lose everything on the internal sd...but the phone was up and running in about fifteen minutes...reroot...install cwm... after that I store everything on the external sd including my cwm backups... hope this helps...

Thanks. Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to have to do. Did you already have a copy of the stock rom? I'm downloading it now and it's taking forever...
I used this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660 and this latest stock tot file from this post ... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361928 it works perfectly...

It worked! Thanks! However, I had to use that same TOT file you linked. The I downloaded the stock rom 3 times and none of them worked, the extracted TOT did though. For future readers of this, some observations:
I used the TOT linked above by MythicBlue
The first time I tried flashing with the LG Flash Tool, it failed at 31 seconds, so I tried again and...
It failed again at the very end, however my phone was already fixed and rebooted, so you may need to try it again.
In the lg flash tool, check the box that lets you manually add the .dll file
the box directly beneath it is for the TOT file.
I hope my frustrating Saturday might help someone else.
My e980 did the same thing, had to use lg flash tools to get back to stock.
Anybody know what caused our phones to do this?
