Hello all- I managed to completely screw up my F240S, can not get into recovery and have tried every way for 2 days now.
My main issue is that I have been trying to flash the F240S KDZ with the LG update tool and all goes well until about 20-30% into the flash process and I get a message saying "Can not continue due to low battery level, please charge fully and retry" but I am fully charged. Very frustrating.
Does anyone know anything I can do ?
I have been toying around with Android mobiles for a few years now, rooting, custom ROMs, etc.. but this is the very first time I believe I may have completely bricked my mobile, very disappointing.
Cheers for any help !! LL13-

If you are trying it in Diag mode then switch to emergency mode. That might help.

Cheers for that Poc... but have tried every possible combination and no luck. I actually bought it to a mobile repair guy, can't believe I had to do it but just want it working at this point. Fingers crossed !!!

put away your battery and do the same flashing without battery...:good:
This Battery low problem is really annoying and has no real reason........i read somewhere that you should use a downloader to download a kdz otherwise it will give error.............it worked once and i flashed successfully but couldn't repeat it....so more luck than logic
an alternate solution is to flash TOT and DLL files using LGPST tool......you may have to search Chinese forums for TOT and DLL files for your specific model. Some Chinese forums below...use chrome for auto tranlsate

fortunately i could get into my recovery so i flashed a ROM via sideload and save myself
best of luck
Are you on a Windows 8 computer? I read that you have to use windows 7. For some reason W8 gives the low battery issue.
on windows 7........battery issue still present
Thank you for that information guys. I actually brought the phone to a mobile repair place and as of a week now he is completely puzzled, can not fix it. I am away at the moment so will see him on Monday and hopefully he gets it going. I will try the other methods as far as the battery issue goes, I also read about the .TOT and .DLL files but it looked very complicated. I may just have to get into it though.
lkiizm. are you saying that the battery does not have to be in the phone when you are flashing it ?
Cheers, LL13-
This mobile appears to be worse than bricked. The repair shop had never seen anything like it, they had to give up on it.
I can not use the LG flash tool and .KDZ file as I get the low battery error. I can not, repeat NOT get into any recovery at all, I have tried every method.
The phone is stuck in some half baked mode where some things work and some do not, every time I turn the phone off it goes back to the start and anything put on it is erased. Factory reset is useless.
I'm only a little while from simply tossing this mobile in the trash. Does anyone have any ideas on how to salvage this ?

Tot + DLL should save you... That tool does not have the low battery error.. where are you getting stuck exactly in the boot process? If the mobile turns on, it can be recovered no matter what

Hi vive... I been real upset over this but may be on the verge of a breakthrough as I just tried the mobile support tool for the hell of it and when my "low battery" error would normally pop up I just tried unplugging and plugging in rapidly and it made it through and now seems to be in the process of a proper upgrade.
I'm on 42% now and it's been going for about 19 minutes, fingers crossed this could be it.
I have been looking at the TOT and DLL way, a bit tricky for a guy like me but I may have to suck it up and just dig in.
The real killer is the large download size, I may have to go to an internet cafe for that.
I will report back !!
Cheers, LL13- :angel:
I have learned my lesson this time, no more dodgy Chinese ROMs for me !!
Hi all
I have been messing with this problem for hours and im out of ideas.
I got this phone (D855) from a friend to see if i can get it out of its bootloop which she seems to have after getting an update from lg. I can get into (stock)recovery and hardware buttons config (or something) but when i try to enter download mode, it will only get there when the phone feels like it.
When i try to get into download mode i can see a little box saying "Download Mode" and then the phone restarts into some sort of charge icon loop. switching on and off showing a battery icon.
I have tried flashing different stock roms to see if any of them solve the issue but so far no luck. Near the end of flashing, the phone seems to want to reboot into download mode to finish the process but since i can only get into download mode occasionally it fails(i think). The LG flash tool 2014 says it was succesful but since it rebooted at about 85% and cant get back into download mode, i guess it failed.
I also think i cant charge the battery. for some reason the phone keeps showing the battery icon for a few seconds only to shut down and show it again. Like a charge loop. This is what i see for the remaining 15% of the flashing process.
The LG pc suite wont do anything because the battery seems to be too low. Problem is that i dont know how low it is and i cant seem to charge it for some reason.
Any ideas?
Exact same issue for me, everything you said is happening to mine. Got any help? I have read that maybe shorting it could help, have you tried?

Not yet. I read that alot of people damage their phone trying to short it. It is not my phone so damaging it is not really an option.
I will try it with permission if all other possible solutions have been explored.
I tried the shorting thing and every step was succesful but it didnt change anything.
still the same so the shorting method does not work in this situation
Anyone?
Problem solved.
It turned out to be a faulty battery that caused my problems. Glad i didnt damage anything shorting the pins.
Battery replaced and all works like it should.
Nearly At the end of every month my my phone gets into some kinda software problem (example : Google has stopped working then process.android has stopped working and some other random **** which is quite annoying) whenever this happens the phone restarts on its own and never turns on,i mean it does but is stuck on loading screen.(note: I dont do anything stupid which might harm my phone. )So i have to flash my phone with spflashtool it.This time when i flashed the phone it didnt turn, i held the button for long but it was of no use, so i thought it might be the low on battery,but when i put it on charge nothing popped up... it wasnt charging. Then I thought it was the battery but my battery wasnt swollen and the day before I flashed it,it was running fine with full charge. , there was no sign of battery problem anytime i used it the consumption was normal.
Please help me fix this problem, and I also want a permanent fix to the software problem too.
Any senior member please help..
TIA
:fingers-crossed:
Update:I flashed the phone with new files but results were the same :'(

same happens to me bro my android one is also dead same problem as yours when i tried with sp flash tool its end up with this error..... scr shot attached
☹
Bro,I flashed it thrice after but it didn't give any errors,but sadly it just wont turn on
If it were permanently bricked then it wouldn't have detected the phone...and bro lemme give you a suggestion,try changing it to firmware upgrade instead of download only.
Thanks for the reply
simmilar issue
same problem pls help in my case when i charge not charging the battery indicator just pops up and out i think its a battery error put in a new battery try to boot up nothing try to go in recovery nothing i have nothing to boot up from i think ill still try using fastboot and/or flashing and reporting back(ima try dead usb flash using spflash tool)
okay flashing works perfectly now i just need for figure out if the problem is with the charging/battery or the phone is dead
Same Problem
Bro, i have run into exact same problem. I even went to gallery and gave them the phone, they said they will charge 1500 as motherboard is dead but after one month they returned to me the phone saying that motherboard is not available. They are taking almost 14 days to return money so i have to visit again on 3rd june. But coming back to problem i have tried flasing with and without battery for 3-4 times. every times it shows success but the phone wont start. Even memory test was all fine. cant figure out what's the problem. i have tried both download only and format+download mode but nothing seems to work, If anyone finds a way to fix the phone please tell ASAP.
Same problem as the OP, mine's bricked as well after it began showing random FCs. Flashed KK and LP firmwares using SP Flash Tool but to no avail. The flash was successful tho but the phone never booted up
I'm kinda stuck in a similar situation. Let's start from the beginning -
When I got my Redmi Note 3 I stopped using my Canvas A1 and vaguely i remember that it was having software issues, rather than fixing it I just kept it away for a lot of months, and vaguely I remember that it just needed some flashing of rom and it would've gotten fixed.
And after all these months i'm need of this phone again. I don't remember much in depth details of the processes involved with it like flashing stuff etc. But I gathered as much knowledge as I could from the docs I had stored as backup & from the internet.
And IMO I think the flashing process was successful, but the screen is not turning on. Only once when I connected it to PC, the charging battery sign appeared(flashing thrice) but that was it. Nothing after that. And whenever I connect it to PC it detects the phone.
For now I've given it to a repair guy but I don't have much hope. He was saying that it could be just software problem, but I don't agree. If a smart person could comment on this thread so that we all could get some benefit out of it, in order to solve the situation or at least in my case I could research on something specific in the meantime.
Have had this problem for about two weeks now. Every time I get the phone able to boot (either by reflashing a rom or odin) it will work for a few hours then it'll freeze in the middle of use or idle and restart. After restarting a few times the phone will no longer boot and I have to reflash it with odin or TWRP. It's happened so much though that as of today even if I get it to start it'll end up freezing up shortly after booting, get stuck on the black start screen and hang there until I pull the battery. At that point the phone will only boot into download or recovery. I'm at the end of what I can do and out of ideas.
So far I have tried
Odin to:
N910PVPS4COK1_N910PSPT4COK1_N910PVPS4COK1_HOME.tar.md5
N910PVPU4DPH4_N910PSPT4DPH4_N910PVPU4DPH4_HOME.tar.md5
and flashing multiple different roms to try to fix it.
Sometimes it won't even mount data, cache, system, etc within twrp.
I've also tried to format each individual partition when it wouldn't start no matter what and that did make it so it was able to start but the same problems were there after it did start.
I've searched and I cannot find a solution to anything similar to the problem I'm having. If anyone has any ideas they'd be greatly appreciated.

Try falsh repair firmware with pit file in odin.
Do factory reset immediately from recovery after flash firmware to get clean OS.
You can download repair firmware from here
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591020540821805
Extract firmware you will get pit file inside of it.

I suppose this is a long shot, but are you running on the original or an old battery? It's possible that a bad battery is causing the reboots. I was back and forth to the Sprint store about 4 times in one week. They first tried flashing the firmware. (Yeah, I could have done it, but I have insurance.) They sent me home and on the way my phone rebooted itself. I got a replacement Note 4, but it started getting hot, then also rebooting. They "let" me upgrade to a Note7, which I loved. I had to give it back even though it was from the new, supposedly safe batch. At this point, I couldn't even get the Note 4 to boot at all. Boot loops, or would boot into download mode. Couldn't do anything with it, except pull the battery. Got a third Note 4, but also ordered a new battery pack from Sprint. They were and still are, only $24.95, with free shipping! You get a new battery, an external charging unit and a carrying case for the battery. (You have to use your own charger.) This finally fixed the problem. I had two batteries when I ordered the new one. I'm pretty sure one of the older batteries was defective, even though it wasn't bulging. I'm still using the other one that's also older, even though it is bulging a bit. It charges and runs fine. No over-heating. So, my problem was a combination of a defective battery and a couple of bad phones. The other thing was some of the previous firmware seemed to make some Note 4s run hot or get hot while charging. Things are much better since PG1. YMMV.
I had this issue and sent my phone back to Samsung THREE TIMES, I thought I bricked my phone from custom rom.
Turns out it was my battery. Sounds dumb, but true. Strangely even with battery out, I was having issue. Once I put in new good battery issue resolved.
I had that issue on my pc and my note. I had a creepy stalker in full control of my device (which basically was a virtual machine). I could tell when I was on the right track to get rid of him because it shut me down. I can't say that's what's going on with you but it is a thing.

Note 4 batteries are dying for lots of people anywhere from 18 months to just over 2 years, and the symptom is often fail to boot, boot loops, etc. As piggynuts said, it's not logical, but it's true. It happened to me, and when I replaced the battery, everything was fine.
Hello, I've tried my best but really am struggling.
When I first got the phone the only sign of life was when charging it there was a charging circle. I managed to play around and now while plugged in I am able to get into download mode while holding Volume Up + volume Down. However, the phone is continuously looping while plugged in (unless in download mode) & does absolutely nothing when not plugged in. When I get into recovery mode it instantly reboots, and whenever I try flash stock firmware I get PIT or bootloader error (<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.). My suspicion is the fact I do not have the correct stock firmware but for whatever reason I cannot find the firmware for this model (SM-A505FZWDINS, Indian version).
Does anyone know what I should do? I'd like to give life to this phone but I'm really out of ideas.
Thanks in advance,
icecub
Bad battery.

How definitive is this?
Is the battery know to be good?
If you don't know assume it's bad... everything you're stating indicates insufficient battery capacity.
Try twrp rooting formate then re flash stock firmware make sure Odin is the correct version this also happens when I don't have correct or upto date version hope this helps
same **** here. for me i cant charge the battery too. but before that with about the same problems i got it to work again for a few days.
funny that i saw more ppl at the last time here with the same problem. but i flash a stock firmware. R11 but it dosent solve it for a few days.
now it hangs allways on boot or warning logo for unlocked bootloader. i have used this phone over a year without this issue.
