LG Optimus F3 Bricked, No Boot At All
Hi all, and thanks in advance for any help received. Long story short I just bought a VM LG Optimus F3 and bricked it within an hour. Im not new to rooting, but not Dev-level either, I prepared the folders and files necessary while I waited for the phone to be delivered. Ran a root tool but it only rooted the device, no recovery partition was changed or flashed, and on rebooting into recovery, brick. Just FYI, RomToolbox told me I had TWRP installed.
With different forums and information posted I've tried entering DL Mode, running the Flash Tool, and ADB'ing the phone ( debugging Was selected prior to my screw up), but the most I get is a colored Home button sometimes. Help PLEASE.. thanx!
Also on Win10 x64
*The attachments are just PC Screenshots. I was able to install the LGE Android Serial Driver in place of the QSHUSB_DLOAD, but the connection wasn't true.

FastBoot Mode

Hello XDA!
A few months ago I won an LG Optimus Me P350 and I recently discovered that no recovery mode.
I tried to follow a tutorial offered by this community and unfortunately I failed in fastboot.
I tried something with cmd and I remain "locked" .. I say that is waiting phone.
And with KDZ ​​not know how well I did, but with 3GQCT Emergency Mode and Select Emergency calls me at a time that does not detect the phone, which is strange .. since it detects the computer ...
Probably a very old version and no firewall or KDZ file rather not be too good.
Let's try a little with KDZ​​, and if you fail I hope to find here a solution posted for you!
I know I can somehow manage to get rid of this problem.
I wanted to install android 7.xx (not sure what version I had) with recovery mode .. but unfortunately went into fastboot.
Thanks in advance!
Which guide did you follow? I compiled the one on XDA Wiki for Optimus Me so I know the ins and outs of flashing this phone. Can you be more specific on what problem did you face?

Phone still stuck in boot
I tried this with my e975 but the stucks in boot just as before. What should i do?
I flashed the recommended files through LGNPST and at 85% or so the phone restarted. I went into Bootloader, then into Recovery and flashed my ROM with adb.
The phone now doesn't stop to boot. What am I doing wrong?
Please help me out,

you need to make a full wipe, including internal storage, you can do that in recovery mode after flashing your rom with sideload.
good luck and sorry for my bad english.
Coming from soft bricked Bell E973 (geeb) with CM10.1
I tried this method after having issues with KDZ updater / LG Flash Tool / LG Support Tool. Worked great!! Except when I tried to sideload a rom my device apparently had an identity crisis and thought it was a geehrc4g. Oops. There's not much information that I could find about whether this was applicable for my device but the OP seems to indicate as much. I suspect I would have been able to flash a geehrc4g rom and boot ok, but probably would have had a bunch of stuff not work...?
Anyway, somehow LG Flash Tool managed to work after that.
Thanx
Luv u so much..... i m very very thankful to you ....... bcz u solved my big problem.......... again thank you so much......... if anyone wana solve secure booting error in F180L in Pakistan contact me 03334180141 or mail me on [email protected]
Getting an error while using LGNPST-AGC
Hi people of XDA,
At first, my phone was non modified (original rom).
I was taking pictures with it when multiple apps crashed one after the others.
I decided to reboot it by holding the power button.
After the restart, my phone was like a brand new one. Asking me to reenter my Gmail and set it up each time I reboot the phone.
The "scan media files" icon keeps showing in the notif bar. I was able to use the phone but not taking pics or install apps.
My internal memory had 3 Go of free space before the crash, shows 0 bytes free after...
1) I try to hard reset it but when I confirmed the operation, the phone doesn't reboot as supposed.
2)I try the LG support tool to put back an original rom as the phone was still able to boot and connect to a computer.
But this step changed nothing.
3) As a third try, I used KDZ to flash a file (rom for E971) to find if it was a software or hardware problem.
After this step, my phone don't even want to boot anymore... I am stock to a steady LG logo which is normally animated few seconds before the boot.
Finally, as no recovery mode available, I try to put TeenyBin file (E971.E973.E975.F180 Original TeenyBin) from this procedure (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249500) to my LGOG E971 and I got this error message. (see capture).
FYI : I have done this procedure without any sim card inside.
All the install process for LGNPST-AGC went fine.
My phone doesn't boot. Only the LG logo. I am able to put it in download mode.
This phone has never been rooted or unlock.
Anybody got this kind of error before??
Thanks for your hints in advance

Need help to unbrick an LG E986

Hello,
I had rooted and then installed free gee app.
Managed to install a cyanogenmod 12 version on my LG but while rebooting i was unable to type my phone pin , the screen just went popping . with another sim card with no code pin , the apps seem to work well ...
I then decided to revert back to a custom rom from LG ; While using LG flash tools, at 98% of the flash, the phone just suddenly went blank.
When i charge there are no lights and it's impossible to get download mode.
I brought the phone to a shop and the technician told that he could not download anything to the phone and was proposing me to send it to "LG" with additional fees without any warranty of recovery.
i have read on the different threads but so far i have not found any solution , all suggestions are welcome
Thanks.
Hello,
When i connect my phone to my windows PC, a device QHSUSB_DLOAD appears but i can't manage to assign a driver to this device though i manage to install the unified LG windows driver.
When i launch LG flash tools, the program is aborted because the phone is not visible.
Looking forward to a repair procedure wit the local LG center.
Thanks for any help.

Bricked!!! Help me out please!

I'm a newbie and don't know much about phones. I rooted my phone for the very first time and was about to install CWM.
I've an LG Optimus G Pro F 240K.
I downloaded an app namely Flash Optimus G in .apk form and installed it on my phone. I tapped on Flash and the screen read "SUCCESS! Now re-boot you phone into recovery." I tapped Reboot into recovery. That time and now, i'm numbed. The phone isn't responding at all. I'm using Windows 10 Pro. In device manager, an exclaimed mark icon gets visible when i connect my phone.
The device name is QHSUSB_DLOAD.
I've downloaded official stock firmware 4.4.2 kitkat. When i use LG Flash Tool, it says your device isn't connected to your computer.
What should i do???

Or downgrade to Windows 8.1 and then restore by KDZ
qhsusb_dload means you´re in qualcomm mode, and also means that you´ve killed phone boot. from what I know, only medusa and riff boxes can fix it.

Success after supersu bootlooping and non recognized usb on g4

Like a lot of people I have the eu version of the h815 and managed to bootloop it after following the garbage methods online for rooting .. I came here for help and found all the methods listed... lg up, lg flashtool 2014 etc.. the problem was that my phone just wasn't recognized by the computer, it charged well but that was it, lg bridge, lg up, lg flashtool.. none could find my phone.. I thought I was doomed to a soft bricked paperweight and even began contemplating the hundreds of pounds needed to purchase a new phone.. however after hours and hours of tinkering I cracked it and now have a working lg g4 again.
first off download and install lg up dll file
then install lg up but don't open yet
find and make sure u download the correct kdz firmware file ( I needed the h81520d file which I downloaded from storage cow as devtesters didn't work for me)
now head to your computer control panel and delete(uninstall) any lg mobile drivers that you see.
connect your phone through usb into download mode and leave connected
once that's done download the old drivers (4.0.4 I believe) and not the newest 4.1.1 or whatever it is now.
then open lg up and hopefully like me you see your recognized phone.
click upgrade (not refurbish) and click bin.. right of bin is the ... symbol.
hit that, choose your kdz file and voila.. let it work its magic..
DAMN IM HAPPY. HOPE THIS CAN HELP SOME OF YOU LIKE IT DID ME.
