I was using this method to root my phone: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...-VIhhUe3eupYY1bKA&sig2=MyzZOys2QGrlPe6Pwlh_AQ
& I was stupid and combined the 20B file with the 10R file and then also didn't label TWRP as boot.img as the installer tells me to do as I overlooked that.
Now, I can plug in my phone and my computer recognizes it (Windows). I can't view any files though I just hear the sound that something via USB got connected.
I've tried taking out the battery and unplugging it and pressing the power button for 60+ seconds and then putting it back in and trying to go into download mode. It doesn't seem to work. THough I hear the sound of it plugging into the computer.
So, I tried the LG Flash Tool. It fails at model information check. Then has a bunch of zeros after that.
I tried LG Flash Tool 2014 and all of the KDZ files I had on my computer (as I was unrooting just last night and trying to fix stuff and had KDZ files that worked for me to unroot). Well, that fails with all of the files.
Since that didn't work, I've been googling stuff and decided to try the original tool I had and that's when I noticed I didn't rename TWRP to boot.img and I combined 20B with 10R and figured out my problem. So now aboot and laf don't match the software that the phone has installed on it. For this reason, I can't do anything with my phone.
I'm assuming this is a hard brick. How do I fix this? I need my phone TODAY like an hour ago. :/ I was stupid to try and re-root. Ugh.
Can someone help me please?!
EDIT: I tried the LG Mobile Support Tool and I was able to get to the Install USB Driver section. I clicked it and it loads but nothing happens. So, I clicked options > Upgrade Recovery. I entered my IMEI number and it went through the steps and one of my batteries was low so I changed it out and went back through and it stops randomly and tells me to do the Upgrade Recovery which I was already doing. :/
EDIT 2: Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver from the device manager and then re-ran LG Flash Tool but it stopped at the model info check fail again. So I tried all of the USB ports on my computer and they all stopped at the same error.
EDIT 3: I can't find my iPhone so I really need this fixed. I just want to be clear that I tried these methods as well and nothing has worked thus far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
I checked the LG website for drivers and such as well so everything should be A'OK from that point of view. I even tried my USB 3.0 that are in the front of my computer.
EDIT 4: Still no luck. Been searching google and other places. I tried fastboot and adb but my phone isn't recognized by those so I can't do those. I want to try and flash the files I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766437
As I know that will help but without fastboot working, I don't see how I can get the files to be seen. Even if I were to put them on my MicroSD card, I don't see how I could flash them onto my phone. :/ That's all I need are the aboot_XXX.img and laf_XXX.img files fixed. UGH
EDIT 5: Called T-Mo to get a replacement. That will be here Monday. Until then I am doing my best to try and figure out how to fix this. I am severely upset by this. Found my iPhone so I won't be without a phone I'll just be upset until UPS gets here on Monday.
Well I hope this is a lesson for you. Unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing you read, read, read, and read some more. No where in that thread says you can do this on the d851, we have a unlocked bootloader and do not need bump. About your tot problem you can find generic dll that will not care what you're flashing. Be safe and stay out of the international threads from now on. I was a little harsh but I can kind of understand how that happen to you, that OP is a cluster f***

I was using bump??? Damn that explains it I thought it was something else... Well I can at least use the phone to charge my batteries for Monday when I get the new phone. I just hope they don't charge me for this phone. I'm still under warranty.

I recently had a problem with my phone and I was able to restore using TOT and KDZ files but my phone kept power cycling over and over. I sent it to LG and they replaced the usb port and the screen as I had put a dent through the back where the battery goes and they replaced all the parts and I guess a new board due to the power cycling due to flashing ota with twrp. It looks like a brand new phone but it's mine because the IMEI was the same. I would try to flash it using the TOT method and if it still doesn't work then send it to LG, the worst they can do is send it back. All I paid was 10.00 bucks for the box. Everything else was covered including shipping back to me. Go via the LG website and they will give you a free FedEx label and a Case #.
Good luck

I already did. Nothing. Finally got my replacement g3 and everything works. Was able to root and install lollipop ROM. Works like a charm.

just bought it for $30. it worked great. so i download rom manager and flash the clockwork recovery because i am really dumb.
i think it still gets into software update or emergency mode, the screen is blank but the buttons light up and in KD500 i CAN flash a bin file to 95% but then it cuts out saying phone disconnected, as the phone reboots it just hangs on LG logo.
ive tried lgpnst but it claims at 0% MASTERBIN DOWNLOAD "NUMBER OF BAD BLOCKS EXCEED LIMIT. PLEASE REPLACE FLASH"
i have spent 16 hours now trying to fix a $30 phone. please stop me guys. either give me a solution or tell me to shove this up my... ahem nevermind
It sounds like there's something wrong with the flash memory in the phone. If that's the case then it's not really your fault, it would've gone anyway. Have you tried booting into recovery and flashing something?
By the way, you posted in the wrong forum, this belongs in Q&A

it wont go into recovery, it just pops up the LG logo and sits there
at first, right after i flashed the bad recovery, i could do the emergency boot sequence (hold backspace and vol down, insert usb). up would pop the SW update mode.
so i did that, and tried the stock LG updater, but it wouldnt keep talking. so i tried the KD500 method, and it appreared to work but thats where im at now. even if i boot into SW update mode, its just a blank screen now, but it will still connect to KD500 and seemingly flash a bin just fine. however when the phone reboots at the end it just lights up the dumb lg logo and sits there.
its just frustrating. i know its not the end of the world, just man. ugh maybe its the wrong cabs? ive tried LS670ZVC_11.SC_11.P60674.cab and such... 75, 70...they all do the same thing
I'm not sure about the KD500, so you may have already done this, but have you tried what is says here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=30798348

thats a wrong link. it just links to a reply for this thread
oh, sorry, I have no idea how that happened, I meant this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314
yeah, and it seems i can get that mode to work, however i do not believe i have the right kdz.
thing is, when i try to follow the links to download the original firmware from lg, i cant get anywhere....
ill keep trying. i really think if i just had the right kdz it will work
AAAAAAAAAnnnnnnnnnnnd thats a wrap.
i finally found the right cab i think. i used an LG firmware update app found here on xda.
but i guess the firmware gods did not want this phone alive. during the update, i left for the store. came back, and my laptop wasnt charging, sending it to sleep during the update.
total brick now. no emergency mode. no lg logo. just buttons light up thats it. no communication with the pc at all.
its dead. rip little optimus.
**Update. Just bought a Sanyo Zio for $19.98 shipped off the bay. lets see how fast i can screw this one up!
ha! trying to get my droid x off ics this morning.
BRICKED as well
at least i still got the bootloader!
i forgot then when you do the ota .621 update you NEVER go back. no matter what you flash, youll always be a .621 phone. SO USE .621 CUSTOM ROMS YOU IDIOT
and youre lucky you didnt fry this droid by trying to program it with a dead battery!
sheesh! idiots! (me!) :cyclops:
OK. one last thing.
i had another droid X that has been sitting around for months. i couldnt get it out of bootloader. everything i tried made it worse. it wouldnt even take the linux sbf .621 flash that worked on my other dx's. i really thought it was toast.
but today, i ran across the signed and verified moto stock rom for .621 while i was trying to fix my everyday DX. so i said, "WTF". i flashed the old dx in windows rsd because thats supposedly supposed to flash the radio too.
well, whatever it did, IT WORKED. i am almost in tears right now. this phone is MINT. like brand new, bought it for $40 because the last guy couldnt get it to flash either.
the whole time, it just wanted a verified moto rom!
one more sbf flash to a rooted .621 rom, and bingo. i have a like new fully rooted dx!!!!!!! I cant help but brag! i spent so many hours on this thing!
I could jump through the roof right now!:good::good::good: two droid x phones for less then $80 total! just hours and hours of pulling hair too hahaha
I should have seen this before.. I know a good place for optimus s.

no i said STOP me!
guess what? i had the battery on an external charger the other day. one last time, i put it in the phone and hooked it up to my laptop. BUH BUM! it connected!
so i quick tried to flash the verified verizon rom. it seemed to take, but again it does not boot up.
HOWEVER, i do now have the S/W upgrade screen back! i dont think this phone is dead yet! its such a joke to keep trying for a $30 phone, but man it bugs me that a simple software problem is keeping this thing from being at least a good mp3 player!
edit- ive seen most of those links though. my problem is i dont have the stock recovery on this phone, and to flash that you need to adb into it... which i cant! I truly believe if i could find the right KDZ file for my phone it would work! all the links i find are for optimus V's! i have an optimus S, model US670 which is VERY hard to find roms for.
i used the LG update app found on xda here, and it downloads an SBF file. even if i change the extension to KDZ it doesnt work! file extract error every time. i need to find my KDZ for this phone and i just know it will work!

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

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!

Help lg flash tool not working
Sent from my R1 HD using Tapatalk
I'm on T-Mobile, and I upgraded from a G3 to a G4. Ordered the G4 from T-Mobile yesterday, got it a few hours ago. Earlier today, I went through the restore process for the G3 using the LG Flash Tool (essentially following these steps here). That all went fine. Shortly after that, without thinking, and without closing the LG Flash Tool, I plugged my G4 into my computer to charge it. I got confused for a moment when I noticed it restarting. The Flash Tool had picked it up, and was setting up to push the G3 firmware to it. I panicked, and unplugged the phone from the computer, right as the phone went to the "Firmware Update" screen. Now, whenever I turn it on, it just goes straight to "Firmware Update". Won't enter recovery mode, etc, etc... No matter what, just "Firmware Update".
Any help?

Now, whenever I turn it on, it just goes straight to "Firmware Update". Won't enter recovery mode, etc, etc... No matter what, just "Firmware Update".
Any help?

You done goofed OP. i dont think g3 method works on G4 from what ive heard. can you try to hard reset the phone? or if not connect to computer and use the terminal or ADB(i think its called) to restart to boot to the recovery menu

Well, it has the same download mode as the G3 (which is unfortunately the only thing it will boot into), so technically I should be able to flash the firmware the same way, only problem with that is, because it's so new, the .dll and .tot files aren't available anywhere.
I tried a hard reset from the phone, didn't work. I couldn't get ADB to pick up the device (since it only boots into download mode), so I couldn't reboot into recovery via ADB
Took it into a T-Mobile store, they couldn't do anything, as expected. Notated my account, and said to call. New phone was ordered and being sent out to me, should have it Monday

Actually there was no need to go to the store and get a new phone
You can easily flash G4 KDZs via LGUP, if you're stuck in download mode. Easiest game of your life. Sorry, that you had a lot of trouble, but keep in mind, that there's a way to get out of bootloops and such 99% of the time (well in fact 100% if it's a software problem). For future problems just check this thread. Easy to use, easy to get out of bootloops. Cheers

Thanks. But this was back in May, about 24 hours after it launched in the US. KDZ's weren't available then. Otherwise I would have done exactly what you said

Oh sorry! I'm a bit late then :laugh: Didn't see the date.
As the title says, i mistakenly selected D855 in Fulmic ROM(Noob mistake). Just this morning my friends suggested Fulmic ROM so i decided to download and flash it. I already had root and TWRP 3.0.0-0 installed. After the download was done, i copied it onto my SD Card and booted into TWRP. In TWRP, i backed up my data as i had already done a full backup a month a go. I was on Stock KK 10C.
When i selected Fulmic's zip, it asked me to select my device but i noticed there was no D851, but there was the at&t version, Verizon version, D855 etc... So i selected the D855 as i taught somehow the D855 and the D851 were somewhat similar and that it would run on my D851, (yea... i now know it was such a stupid assumption i made). So i flashed the D855 onto my D851 and once it was done, i hit the reboot button and the device went off and never came on. I tried booting into TWRP but nothing worked, then i took out the battery and pressed vol up and inserted the USB and it showed me an empty battery sign with a yellow triangle on the lower right side of the empty battery.
When i connect the device to Windows, it shows up as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port.
I am pretty lost here, i dont know what to do right now. I have been reading lots of threads but i havent found any thread that explains how to deal with such a situation.
Any Help is appreciated.
Regards Mickey.
Wow! No replies so far?
People, i am loosing it here. Any suggestions are welcomed. I have no idea what i should do
Cry...and be very angry. Jk
You more than likely hard bricked like others are doing because they're flashing the wrong things...
It's like using diesel in a petrol motor and vice versa. You're gonna have a bad time.
Honestly I don't know how to help because I don't flash things that don't go with my device, I am not being a jerk but just saying, i'd take a look at the hard brick Q&A's ive seen a few of them. They might have what you are looking for ?

Thanks man, I need all the help i can get.
Getting really desperate here.
Hey amigow
Are you able to get into download mode?.. If so you can always flash back to stock kk using lg flash tool ... Search how to downgrade here on xda that'll get you back to normal as long as you're able to get into download mode

If all else fails, you should be able to restore by following the instructions for a hard brick recovery. I warn you it is not a procedure for the faint of heart, but it saved my bacon (AKA, LG D850).
It involves shorting two pins on a chip (can't remember if it's the SOC or not, but it hardly matters). I managed it with a pair of needlepoint tweezers, but the guide instructs you to use a fine wire. I can't imagine doing it that way, but maybe you can.
In any case, the guide that worked for me is here, "http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359" . Just follow it to the letter and don't compound your earlier mistake. (Not trying to be a jerk; just advising against rushing the process or second guessing any steps. You might think it can't get any worse or you've got nothing to lose, but it's still possible to make it worse by doing something wrong.)
Good luck!
Hello all!
My wifes sister let some idiot at work mess with her LGG4 , Anyway he tried to flash a factory kdz to the phone, i believe he pulled the plug before it was done. Accidentally he said, i think he tripped over the cord, moron. So, she brought it to me, ive been able to salvage most electronics she brings to me, but this one has a secure Boot error 1014, cant find any info on it. i can get to recovery but the options there do nothing but bootloop, download mode gets as far as the first download mode screen then bootloops. any insight in to what is going on would be greatly appreicated. thank you and sorry if im missing any info.
Edit: So the guy tried to flash 10b over MM to "start fresh" and accidentally pulled the cord out before it was done, anyway to recover this phone?
nothing?
Trying to go from anything back to 10b is a no no. As far as I know you're probably bricked. If you have insurance, use it.
I remember downgrading off certain higher rom numbers to lower ones will always result in a hard brick and there were some limited exceptions. So be careful

I too have a g4 still under warranty, can I send her g4 and get a replacement? If I call them and tell them it's bootlooping?

I'm expecting same problem for over a two months, it happened without any previously signs: I typed SMS as usually and got black screen, after two seconds phone restarted itself and I got same error as you (1014).
There is no fix yet, unfortunately, but you are lucky, you are under warranty. Also I had previously this problem described on link here
