After a couple of hours i restarted my phone and now it wont boot. The lg screen pops up and then just goes blank the lcd still on. I cant boot into recovery, download mode, factory wipe or anything. Same LG splash screen pops it and then screen goes blank. Someone please help me! i have literally had my optimus g for 2 days.

Hold the power button down for about 10 secs, keep doing it until you don't see the lg screen pop up then you know its off, then enter download mode and flash stock again using the tools in the general section. I done something similar, I have been on stock for over a week and couldn't be happier, I'm not taking any more chances with this brilliant phone!!

Like mark dexter said. You need to hold the power button down for at least 10 seconds until it turns off. From what I've read it's soft bricked 4 or 5 phones already. The exact same thing happened to me. I am back on stock rom and not taking any more changes.

I guess you didnt look the warning on the korean kdz ? Welcome to the land of no more radio.
WARNING: If you don't have a Korean Phone and you flash
these images you might risk bricking your modem / radio meaning if
you flash back to your original stock you wont have working radio.
At least that is from the leaked rom, maybe the official one dont break your radio.
I Guess that reading a bit more was hard. This is some firmware that would have fixed your phone :

LOL, this is actually what I followed to bring the phone back. An update showed up on my phone 2 days ago and it wouldn't start the next day (virus? iono). Thanks for your help though, guess I should have looked harder.
Steps
Oops. Posted in the wrong thread.
Just got this phone less than 12 hour ago.
I have searched everywhere but cannot find any answers.
So first of all, I have rooted, and unlocked my bootloader. I then proceeded to install CM 10.1. Install went perfectly, but when I restart the phone, the LG splash comes on for less than a second and goes straight to a backlit black screen. No matter how many roms I try to install, they all do this..
I have installed LGNPST but when it recognizes my phone, it goes into emergency mode and under DEVICE it says "Unknown"
I have all of the drivers for my phone
If anyone could help me and say what is going on I would greatly appreciate it. I have looked on these forums for atleast an hour before I decided to post this thread.
I have the E971.
Thanks all

Will do, give me a few seconds to download it.
Would anyone help me get the appropriate KDZ tool that I can use that actually has rogers? The ones I have do not have it. Nor my phone model
You'll be fine. LGNPST/KDZ will work.

Download the Rogers 10d from here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20#rogers
LG Optimus G E971/3/5
Thanks guys. For some reason, the KDZ updater wont let me choose the file to update/ Instead of the yellow folder to locate the file, the text box is empty and the button to find it is no where to be found...
try a different computer. i'm surprised that i even have to say that.
On the other computer the program crashes :S
In that KDZ updater folder, there is another executable msi file I believe that you may need to install first.
LG Optimus G E971/3/5
Yup use the KDZ method to fix. If you're on rogers (e971) you need to get the kdz from
lg-phone-firmware.com then scroll down and download version 10d.
You can also download direct from LG if you can get the link.
This post links to the original NEW JB update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196742
ALWAYS FLASH CUSTOM ROMS FROM 10D
Run the msxml.msi or get the microsoft xml pack from microsoft.
Run the LG Software from the website to install ADB access for windows.
Put your phone into download mode and run the KDZ updater program.
Wait. If you get a bootloop do a factory reset.
Better tutorials are available on here you just have to look around. This is where I got my info:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010624
I on the other hand have lost the ability to downgrade. Phone stuck on boot animation after first reboot during flashing with KDZ. I only have download mode available. Looks like from now on the MTP driver simply will not load. Sheesh.
Edit: I got Factory Reset option finally! All is good again. I really had to KDZ this thing like 30+ times.
Exact same thing happened to mine. After 5 days of literally trying everything I went to sprint and they replaced it with a new one.

Simply turn off your phone by holding the power button for about 10-15sec.
After that, just turn it on again...it should boot normally.
That screen happen when system is overloaded and not responding...

Just put it into download mode then use KDZ updater, since you want to be back in custom rom, but before that, you should download your stock kdz rom. If you want to use a custom rom again, I suggest start from stock, root, unlock then flash. I have a F180K version, flashed E975D through kdz, then rooted it and unlocked through FreeGee. I use CWM for recovery. After that I have flashed 4 different custom roms to try which suits me. But now I got to stock then modded some in it. Hope this helps you.

Hey fellow LG Owner(s) I am writing this asking for some help. I know that majority of LG Phones use the same software and flashing tools regarding taking your phone back to stock. I currently own an LG G Flex (LS995 Sprint Variant) and I managed to soft brick my phone. I have posted this same message over at the LG G Flex Threads but so far I have gotten no one to provide me some sort of solution on how to un-brick or factory reset my phone.
The status of my phone before it got bricked was it had Root (IOROOT method), Busy-Box (by Jrummy), Build.Prop was edited to display as a Nexus 5, and boot-loader locked along with no custom recovery. If you’re wondering why my boot-loader was locked and why there wasn’t any type of custom recovery was due to the sad fact that Developers are having a hard time on cracking it.
Now to explain on how I soft bricked my phone. I was changing my font style by using a tool called ROM Toolbox (by Jrummy). I managed to change my font once and I attempted to change it a second time, since I was looking for something that displayed it wider and bolder. So as I applied install on the new font I got an automatic reboot.
The reboot consisted of the normal LG Logo display, followed by a black screen and staying as a black screen. On the upper left of my phone the notification indicator was flashing multiple colors (red, white, blue etc). This is the current state of my phone, black screen with a multicolor notification.
My attempts to fix:
- Simple reboot of the phone ((fail))
- Let the phones battery drain out then charge for a few minutes and restart ((fail))
- Managed to get into STOCK recovery and perform clean partition ((fail)
- Managed to get into STOCK recovery and apply factory reset ((fail))
- I got into some weird mode which also gave me the option to apply factory reset ((fail))
- I followed this tutorial (LG Flash Tool) on how to revert back to stock (by hyelton) ((fail))
Link to tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083
The tutorial by hyelton was almost successful to reverting back to stock firmware until I got to the last step (Number 6). The error that occurred by using the LG Flash Tool was when the tool attempted to flash the stock firmware it gave me a Download FAIL!! “Device Model is different“ notification (Images below). I did this tutorial at least seven times and I got no luck. Every single time that I attempted to do this I kept getting the same notification. I have now ran out if ideas on what to do.
My theory, I believe that by changing my build prop to display as a nexus 5 is the reason why I keep getting this fail notification. On the phone it-self when I put it into download mode it even displays as a Nexus 5 (Images below).
I was wondering since it’s possible to get into STOCK RECOVERY, I saw that it had an option for “ADB SIDELOAD” is it possible to push something thru ADB??? Any type of help is greatly appreciated and thanked. Please do not get upset that you see this in multiple LG threads, I am just trying to find a solution to UNBRICK this very expensive phone that I bought and I cannot afford to just use it as a paper weight.

Alright yall, I am almost official screwed. I purchased this phone about a month ago from Best Buy and they stated that I am out of there 15 day window so I cannot exchange or replace for the same phone. I then went to Sprint on whom I have phone insurance for and they stated that they cannot do anything and that I have to go to one of their Sprint repair stores. I went to one of the repair stores and the gentlemen that assisted me plugged my phone to his computer and immediately knew that my phone was rooted. So from there I played the dumb blonde card acting like I don’t know what he’s talking about and from there he directed me to call LG and see what they can do. So now the current status is I filed a repair request and now I am awaiting a reply from LG. Does anyone have any suggestion???
**SOLUTION** hey yall i got the solution to my problem and it was simply by downloading this universal custom .dll from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2663369
and i managed to flash back to stock recovery using this guide. instead using the dll on the the guide i used the custom one.
*GUIDE BACK TO STOCK*
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2644083
bump
edit: sorry missed that, but if you have access to download mode, the flash tool should work i would think..try it again maybe and make sure you didnt miss anything.
i would try following this guide, make sure you use the g flex .tot and .dll though. copied from the lg g2 back to stock guide from hyelton
hyelton said:
RETURN TO STOCK TOT Method! AT&T & Sprint Verzion & The Few International TOTs I have available
Download
1. LGFlashTools v1.8 - Download
2. Drivers - Download
3. Download Both Stock Image File and DLL (Both Files) - Download
Credit to @madmack for making most of this Guide for the G Pro Which also works on our G2
3.1 - FOR SPRINT FIRMWARE - Click Here
3.2 FOR International KITKAT TOT`s Click Here
Install
1. Install the LG drivers downloaded above.
2. Install LGFlashTools v1.6 (but don't run it)
3. Extract the TOT file from the ZIP
Drivers initialization
1. Put the phone into download mode. (Turn off device PRESS VOL UP while plugging in the micro usb cable. If this doesn't work, try holding both volume keys instead)
2. Let the phone initialize and install the drivers. Once done, in Device manager, you should see the LG phone listed under COM ports (something along these lines).
3. Find that LG entry in Device Manager, click on Properties, Advanced and then change the COM port to COM41 and close/save.
4. Unplug your phone! Important step.
LGFlashTools
To get this tool to work, you'll need to do a few tricks.
1. Set the computer's date to some time in July 2012 or before.
2. Disconnect the internet
3. Find a serial number or register key from somewhere on the web (a google search for lgflashtools serial will yield some results). Can't help you here and please don't share any keys in this thread or get us in trouble.
4. Execute the LGFlashTools. It should ask you for a key, put it in. Now you should see a dialog where you can load the DLL file and the TOT files that you extracted earlier. Put them both in here. Click ok
Flashing
5. There is a yellow arrow on the top left. Click on it to initialize the process. Once done, it should say "ready/finished" or whatever.
6. Put the phone in download mode again, and plug it into the USB port. LG FLash Tools should start flashing it automatically. When it's done, it'll automatically reboot into your stock AT&T rom and all of your data and internal sdcard files are gone.

adb sideload comes up as an option on stock recovery. can you please show me the command to push that. also do i have to pull the old build prop and then push the original one???
just a quick thought here, I had kind of the same problem on my G2 LS980 ( it thought it was a model 801) and to get around the error I used the correct .dll for my model phone but renamed it to the reported models .dll name, this should get the LG Tool past that check .dll error,
so for your case, you will need to find the Nexus .dll to get the name of it, then you will make a copy of your LG Flex .dll and rename that copy to the name of the nexus .dll, then when you manually load the .dll into LG Flash Tool use the renamed .dll, hope this helps you out, best of luck!

I purchased this phone about a month ago from Best Buy and they stated that I am out of there 15 day window so I cannot exchange or replace for the same phone. I then went to Sprint on whom I have phone insurance for and they stated that they cannot do anything and that I have to go to one of their Sprint repair stores. I went to one of the repair stores and the gentlemen that assisted me plugged my phone to his computer and immediately knew that my phone was rooted. So from there I played the dumb blonde card acting like I don’t know what he’s talking about and from there he directed me to call LG and see what they can do. So now the current status is I filed a repair request and now I am awaiting a reply from LG. Does anyone have any suggestion???
**SOLUTION** hey yall i got the solution to my problem and it was simply by downloading this universal custom .dll from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2663369
and i managed to flash back to stock recovery using this guide. instead using the dll on the the guide i used the custom one.

Help lg flash tool not working

My G3 is stuck on the booting screen and nothing works. I can't go to recovery menu. But I can hear my notifications, no calls though.
I tried to root my G3 using kingroot then replacing it with SuperSU. I restarted the phone after just to see if it's ok then this happened. It wouldn't start up. It just shows the "LG: life's good" thing and doesn't do anything else. I can't even go to recovery or download menu.
Now soon I am going to send it for repair. There is important stuff in my phone though such as pictures, text messages, my gmail and other accounts.
Will they be able to see it if they manage to repair my phone? a relative told me that I erased my android operating system..
Hopefully someone will help me here.
I'm no expert regarding phones with LG ROMs, but you might have had a locked bootloader. If i remember correctly, my old G2 needed its bootloader unlocked before doing any fancy stuff. I now have a G3 and i'm terrified to do anything to it. (After some nasty Soft & Hard bricks on my G2)
Can you explain better what you mean by "replacing Kingroot with SuperSU". Did you have both installed at the same time or what? Some people had problems with Kingroot that it would lose root after you reboot it (G3)
You say you can hear notifications, how can you hear them if you're not booting the OS? You said it's stuck at LG logo.

Ok I managed to get to the factory reset screen by holding the power and volume down button. I confirmed it, it said "Factory reset processing" then "erasing.." with the android logo for like 2 seconds, then it disappears and goes back to the boot loop.

I'm in download mode with the USB connected to my PC. it says "Firmware update" and has been sitting at 0% for very long.
Of course. See the guide from hyelton about getting back to stock on lg g2 and g3. Get your kdz gor d722 and flash it via lg flash tool 2014 (or use lg mobile support tool and let it do it automatically)
