Stuck in Download Mode - LG Optimus G (International)

Hello everyone,
i have big problems with my optimus g (e975). Yesterday i wanted to install the newest nightly of cm. To do so, i have to update the clockwork recovery mod (after whipe of my old cm version i got an error, so i must update the recovery). The short log after execute this update shows no error. I thought it was successful.
But after that, i was not able to boot into recovery again. Every time i got an boot loop with the LG logo.
So i have following state:
CWM -> not working
And no rom installed.
This morning i wanted to install the offical kdz with the LG flash tool. But i got an error every time it wants to extract the file (Windows says: Application doesn't work)
Now i see only the DOWNLOAD MODE Text on my screen. I am not able to boot into recovery. Every time i see only this download mode screen.
Does anyone has a suggestion for me?
Thank you!

Have you tried flash in diag mode and then wipe data after?

Follow this guide

The kdz installer will provide you the options
CS_Emergency
Diag
Emergency
Try flash using diag (you can also use cs_emergency).. Sometimes it requires to be flashed a couple of times to work but if you wipe data after the install its almost 100% first time.

Try installing msxml which is in the same folder with the kdz updater.

Oh thought it said that in the guide: ) .. install msxml before running kdz like furkandeger says

It's because the file size is larger than 1GB. I tried with this tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45293512&postcount=1 using method 1 and it worked.

the easy way to get back on your phone is doing the restore method using lgnpst tool..there are differents methods guides..
1)AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip
2)LGNPST-PhantomPhreak53.zip
3)lgnpst-shelnutt.zip
so with these tools you can go back to v7 fool unroot and then update it to v8 and v9 ,just you want to make sure if your phone can get the download mode,,,for more information you can go to irc freenode guyz its is a private chat,,,and then ask them about the lgnpst tools link,im sure they will give you more information about it,,,they have the link for both software restore(v7 and v9 .tot files)if not i posted in general the v9 .tot file link, dont worry your phone still alive,i hope adb to push files directly to custom recovery it doesnt work so the easy and method way is restore it!!!:laugh:

Accessing Recovery Screen (First Step if you have bricked your phone)
This is our initial step for any problems that might arise. If you can access recovery, usually you're in a perfectly fine situation.
1. Power off your phone by holding Volume down & power at the same time.
2. When the screen shuts off, switch to entering fastboot by holding Volume Up & Power. Release immediately once you see a black screen with some text on the bottom.
3. You should see a black screen with some text at the bottom.
4. Press volume down 2x and then the power button.
5. You should see either TWRP or CWM recovery.
6. Wipe Cache, Dalvic Cache, and Factory Wipe
7. Flash new stock zip. Wipe caches again.
8. Restart.

Well good new here for all that brick is that you can go to any sprint store and exchange it as a defective device, but please do all you cn to get it back into working order, simply because Sprint does not have an official rooting policy it simply states "if phone appears rooted , make a note and continue as normal"
Now be ready with the correct verbage as everything in the Sprint world is at managers discretion which simply means a manager can say no and you would have to take it to retention, no body wants this. So just be cool and tell them you did the OTA and this is what happened simple as that. If worse comes to worse just tell ask them to DHRP it since the phone is so new you will get a new 1 anyways.
BUT PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF ALL US INCLUDING YOURSELF GIVE IT YOUR BEST SHOT AT RETURNING IT TO STOCK , IF YOUR HAVING TROUBLE HIT UP SOME OF THE DEVS ON GTALK , Im sure one of them or I if I am home will do our best to walk you through it.
Hey all i forgot i posted this thread awhile ago sorry kinda just me n my bro went hard at work and finally fixed the phone and i found the probelm.. At the IRC at the time there were different versions of LGNPST i used the one directed to in the guide i used and that was the autoLGNPST and it was version 1.3 but it never recognized the device in download mode so my bro said it had to be a driver issue so im like ok we find a few drivers install just to make sure and at that point we knew that the computer was reconizing the phone because on ADB we can push a file through and i can install a ROM which i did but for some reason it never could install.. it was the lifeless ROM and dont worry i cleared everything but it never booted after that just kept booting into CWM. So im like ok i bring it to the sprint store the next day the Technician wasent there that day so i hada wait till the next day but that night i tried one more time 2 fix this thing and turns out that day the IRC puts up new files and it was a new version of autoLGNPST v2.2 or v2.3 i believe new DLLs and a new .bin file for ZV7 and the old ones were corrupt i used the new files a viola IT WORKED!! BUT... i cant for the life of me get a flippin ROM on here dont matter which ROM i try or if i use CWM or TWRP i cant get a ROM on always either the install fails or i install it and it reboots but just comes up with a blank screen after the LG logo and mind u i use the AiO tool on the forums to unlock the bootloader and root it and install TWRP or CWM and im on ZV8 when im installing them n ive tried many many times and i just wind up LGNPSTing it again backups never work either any help with this would be greatly appreciated

This is what my LGNPST does, it shows an error at 85% saying
"Process: Upgrade_Masterbin
"Subproc : Masterbin Donwload
Cause: Download Failed"
I did what you suggested (hold the power button until the phone powers on? rather powers off, right?) I am in donwload mode and tried taking out the battery and restarting into download mode and repeating the flashing process (unitl 85%) various times... always with the same error message as a result... what is the problem?

[Q] Bricked the device, can't boot up or get into recovery, ODIN not working...

Hi,
I tried to install CM11 on my Galaxy Gio, but I ran into several problems.
First I managed to flash CM11 from an old clockwork mod version.
However the system did not boot up correctly, so I tried to use a newer
recovery version. That failed as well and now I am stuck without a working recovery.
The device won't get past the Samsung logo upon normal boot. When I enter
the download mode, the screen looks different than any screenshot I have found
so far. Most people say you get a warning, that download mode is dangerous, etc.
but my device just says "Downloading..." in a yellow font. Windows won't discover
it at all, even with installed Samsung drivers and on Linux I was able to detect it
using Heimdall, but flashing it failed with the error "Failed to initialize protocol".
Does anyone have any idea what I could try to do next? I'm getting pretty desperate
right now...
Thanks in advance
Chris
If it says just "Downloading..." when you enter in download mode, it's perfectly OK!!!
Steps to bring your phone back to life:
1) Enter Download Mode
2) Connect Phone to PC through USB Cable (though it's the only way, now)
3) Download a Stock ROM
4) Open ODIN, wait it to detect your phone, select the stock rom's archive, select the OPS required
5) Flash it and wait
I can provide you any files you need and even TeamViewer support, just tell me!
P.S.: I have revived my phone about 10 times so far because I've tested almost every ROM for our Gio!
3) Download a Stock ROM

My Problem so far is that ODIN won't recognize my phone. I think it is a problem with Windows 8, it says the driver doesn't exist. I tried installing the Samsung driver package but even then, the phone is just recognized as "Unknown Device". The Samsung package contains about 20 folders, so I didn't know which driver to force install.
I can provide you any files you need and even TeamViewer support, just tell me!

That would be really nice, if I can't fix it myself. Can you tell me in which timezone you live, so I can plan accordingly?

Well, i can provide teamviewer support too as i have done it on windows 8 myself, My Timezone is GMT + 5.00
I have been able to repair the device by myself. I used an old Windows XP machine and did exactly what I did on my Windows 8 machine. Worked like a charm... At this point I have to assume that Odin does not play well on 64 bit machines...

keep in mind that you have to "wipe data/factory reset" from stock recovery first time after flashing stock ROM with odin otherwise it will not boot up!

[Q] Need help with my E-988

I hope someone can help me.
I bought an LG Pro E-988 which is already rooted and have a nightly CM11 installed.
I saw the LG Flex Rom and tried to install. I hit an error (Status 7), so I restored my back up. It booted correctly and decided to install/run the LG Recovery and Freegee apps as I suspected that the error (Status 7) was because I didn't install the apps before the LG Flex ROM.
After I run FreeGee, I restarted in recovery and tried to install the ROM but still same error (Status 7). So I decided to restore my back up again, but this time around, the boot is not pushing through. I'm stuck in the LG Logo.
Has anyone experienced this before and maybe you can help me to fix my phone.
I admit I got a bit excited rooting and flashing custom ROMs again after 1 year of hiatus.
Thanks in advance!!

Nothing to worry about. Here is a pinned post where you can find all the information you need.
Just download your kdz from here and follow the steps from this post
Download kdz, install lg flashtool, lg drivers, after turning off your phone, press volume up and down together and connect your usb cable to get into download mode, then follow those pictures in that post to flash the kdz. You will be back to stock.

Thanks a lot man :good:! Although, I'm stuck with 'Connection error' in the FlashTool. Is this normal? I tried again and again more than 20 times but I'm getting the same connection error.
Also, earlier I was still able to go to recovery, but now even if I press the power button it goes straight to the download mode.
Hope you can help again.
You cant get out of download mode? did you try volume down and power button together for 5 secs? And btw what error are u getting on flash tool? its not detecting your phone? Did you install the mobile drivers?

The error was in the LG Mobile Support Tool (sorry to in the Flash tool). During the upgrading of the phone it always give the error - 'Connection to server failed. Try again in a moment'
Also, if I try to turn on the phone it will not boot but go straight to download mode.

Did you remove the battery and put it back in? And it still goes to download mode? Try starting the phone pressing Volumedown+power key for sometime or you could try Volumeup+Homekey+Power to boot into recovery and try restoring backup or flashing some other rom and see if you can get out of boot. I really don't know why you are getting that connection problem. I got stuck at boot a couple of times and followed exactly what was given in that post and reverted back to stock. I guess some of the senior members will help you here. Meanwhile ill see if i can search a solution for that connection error, i haven't faced that yet so i really don't know the fix. There is a second TOT method given in that post, that might help.

Yup, i tried removing the battery. Also tried different key combos to boot but it all goes to the download mode, with the small with box in the middle.
I also tried the option of going straight to the LG mobile support tool (not the LG Flash tool). But the same server connectiom error.
Thanks again for the help.
Hope other members can help me too.
Since I'm not able to do recovery using the KDZ file. Can I use the TOT file?
I have E988 Singapore version, but the last ROM installed was with a CM11. And in the Phone details it shows E980.
Will it work or will it just make things worst?

I haven't flashed using TOT method so i cant comment on that. I heard few people had trouble using flashtool on windows 8, are u you using windows 8? maybe try the kdz method again from a windows 7.

Yeah, I read that also. I used a windows 8 pc previously, that might be causong the connection error. I will try my old pc and hopefully it will work.

LG G3 LS990 bricked

Hi all long time lurker in the forums made an account today just to make this post so here I go. I was doing the OTA update for lollipop at night and it was taking a really long time so I fell asleep. I woke up in the morning and found my phone to be stuck in a bootloop :crying: looking at various posts I figured a factory reset would be my best option but it didn't work in fact it made my phone worse....It stays on the LG boot up screen for a few minutes then goes to a black screen. I went back to looking at forums again and found a post about how flashing my phone would get it working again but problem is that my computer no longer recognizes my device and fails to connect. Another option I found was to use the system recovery mode and apply update from external sdcard but when I do this I get E: failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid argument). I've tried 2 sdcards and formatted them both multiple times but I still get the error. I'm not sure what to do and I am willing to try anything.
Have you tried this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089

This is what you have to do.
1. Take the battery out
2. Put the battery back in (dont press power button)
3. Press vol up button and connect cable (without pressing power button)
This should lead you to download mode.
If you do get download mode then follow the procedure of LGFLASHTOOL and TOT back to stock
I suggest using ZV6 tot or ZV8 if you were already on LP.
Best of luck!
After flashing the device using the link (finally got it working) it does everything it needs to do but when it reboots on my phone screen is says Factory Reset Status then it has a giant 2 on the screen so I'm not sure where to go from here. In the flash tool at the end it says
Mini OS boot check....
Mini OS status=2
Fail to set mini OS status 3

You did a CSE Flash or a normal flash?
If I was you I would just reflash with the CSE Flash with another kdz, or if you use the TOT, download another one and try again..
If anything change let me know

Tried it with ZV4 and ZV8 so far getting the same thing. About to try it with ZV6 when it finishes downloading the zip.

Secure booting error after Hidden menu test

Hello,
i dropped my phone last night and at first boot phone clock changed and i could not connect wifi. i tried to connect wifi today but it did not worked. Thats why i opened hidden menu by using *#546368#*855# test my phone if there is a hardware problem or not. i clicked first option then second option my phone got reset but i got Secure booting error after that and it stuck. Then i opened twrp by using factory data reset option. i got backup of my data from twrp menu.
What should i do now?
Notes:
- i use twrp + android 6.0 rooted firmware
- i dont know if can can install apk since i cant open android system
- i dont want to install stock rom by a pc because i think i will lose all info on phone and ont be able to get them back without twrp.

It would be better not to flash those kdz files.
You could have asked here before proceeding,but it doesn't matter now.
For the topic that you sent,I'm not sure that it will work.
So,can enter in Download mode (Click on it to see how to enter)
If you can,please reply.

Hmm Try this guide Unbrick guide (it's officially for D855)
thanks it worked in second time now i can enter download mode i am flashing with lg flash tool. the problem is i could not install twrp before. i tried 5 roms + autorec, twrp manager and twrp offical app. and all resulted failing to open clock work mode. now i will try with D85530B_00_1217_32G.kdz
i have twrp backup in my sd card that why i am trying to boot into twrp for more than 24 hours. i hope i can do this. i winn never use eutorec i will use offical twrp app next time.
i can open android but i cant open twrp i got error boot vefication failed. i can use phone like that but i want to get my backup. if i cant i will have to install apps one by one and i will also lose some files, contacts, data etc.
