Bricked in the 12 hours I had this phone? :S

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.

[Q] Help SOFT BRICK bad build prop

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING
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. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS

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.

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.

Does ADB come up on the normal boot? If so maybe you can remount system and force replace build.prop...

i have followed that guideline but when i go into download mode the phone displays as a nexus 5 instead of lg g flex and from there the lg flash tool fails to flash anything because it displays different model. remember my build prop was edited to display as a nexus 5

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!

Someone edited the build.prob before selling me the phone and when i went to factory reset it without knowing it was rooted and build.prob was messed with now my lg g flex ls995 thinks its a d959at whatever that may be

I appreciate your intention to help, maybe its because i'm a Braziliam guy, with not the best english, that i can't figure how to use the FREEGEE app if i can't start the cellphone.
Thanks again.
OBS: I have used that app too before get this error. And was just becouse tryed to enter on recovery mode that i got that message.

I understand that your celphone cant turn on or enter download mode or recovery?
If thats your situation maybe I can help U (I think)

Well, i'll try to explain all to not get missunderstood.
My situation is, without the USB cable the celphone don't respond to any button press.
With USB cable, by the momment that i plug it, the screen shows the error message.
With the USB cable and in the error message screen, i can press the volume buttons +- and power, after that the phone restart and shows the download mode.
What i know so far is, if i can enter download mode, and here is your words, all is not lost.
Knowing that, all solutions i found on this site doesn't work with me. Or, what is possible, i didn't make it right.
The phone do not enter on recovery mode.
I gess this is all. For now
Thanks for the patience to teach who needs to be teached.

As I see, if i'm looking for the guide you are refering, of install the original rom, is the same one that i already tried and i got message error of extract file.
I deleted all lg stuff from computer, downloaded everything of the guide and the message is the same.
Any more suggestion ?
PS: I prefer english version , at least to read is easy to me.
Edit1:I wonder if the fact of my kdz file be bigger than 1gb causes that ?
Edit2: When i try the guide on this link the step 7 does not show to me, and my phone or some similar does not show on the Usb Controler list to install.

Now I am really worried about that. I just can't acces the phone by any kind of way.
When i try the Unlock Botloader, it says that didn't found my device.
Now, after restart the computer, it says: The system cannot find the patch specified.
Is there no more options for me ?
The drivers I have downloaded here was automaticly updated from 8.0xx to 10.0xx, I unterstand this is a good thing, am I wrong ?

Could U flash KDZ using the method from htc mania?? (Im using it rigth now with 1.2GB KDZ firmware)
How did U come to that situation?

Did U overwrite LGMOBILEAX folder was stated and (step 2). Did U edit hosts file as stated (step 3=
In my case i previously have a black screen, nothing more, but connecting phone to PC while pressing both volum keys aloud PC to recognice the phone.
If U receive extraction error that means that the patch is wrong. Do not press anything more in the program There is no need to

I did not overwrite that folder, maybe we are looking for different guides because if that was something that i supose to do i didn't saw that on the guide.
I did not edit hosts file.
I restarted the computer now again, and now my message is: device not found.

Helo again, i just finish the proccess now. Again i got the same message, I attached the log file, if you please have a look on that i appreciate.
I don't know, all the problem looks to be batterys fault. I hope not. Thanks.
Edit1: I foun this guide, do you think it could help me ?
But I didn't understand that well, looks like I need to be able to start the OS of the phone, which i can't.

Im sad to hear that , This is beyond my knowledge. It worked for me but...

What about my edit, where i found that someone said it solve the problem on 15%, do you think it could work ?
I just don't understant well, do I need to be able to start my phone rom ? Or i can do on my situation ?
Hello guys,
I am so happy that I wanted to share this with you. As I still have headache from googling how to flash back your stock rom (which didn't work out because the flash tool gave an error every time at 15%), I can save you a lot of headache with this very very simple fix.
For some people the tool works just fine, but when you have some google bootloader or a newer freegee unlocked one and you want back to stock, lots of people cant follow this thread because of the error at 15%.
The fix is EASY and I found it on the Optimus L9 section, thanks to that guy on XDA.
Follow exactly Davevinci's great thread except for one thing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2498102
Step 4 is now:
4.GO TO DOWNLOAD MODE POW+BOTH VOL BUTTON PRESSED+CONNECT USB
But step 4 should be:
- Boot up your phone in any stock based rom, for example SAVVY Rom V5
- Enable USB debugging and connect your phone through USB using the LG PC Suite option (make sure to kill PC suite in tast manager).
Now you should see the driver installation of LGE Android MTP device as usual and then just run the flash tool from the guide. Also de mode DIAG is now the right one. The flashtool will reboot your phone to download mode automatically when it's needed.
Still an error? Don't worry, disable virus scanner and firewall and just reconnect your phone. I got an error one time, during flashing, but I followed the steps the flashtool suggested me and now everything went fine.

The link U provide is not working and U didnt upload any log, I didnt see it.
As I read to perform that action u must be able to turn on your phone.
Did U try to flash a smaller then 1gb kdz or try another ones.
As U can see U wont receive to much help in LG forum. There are good guides but on time help is another thing.
Did U try this guide (method 1): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2667398

I did not tried with a smaller archive because I can't download it. Among the Brazilian files I only can download the version 10D. I am on phone now but I will send the link that I'm trying asap. I really appreciate your help man. Even that I didn't found the solution yet is nice count with some experience help.
Enviado de meu XT1032 usando Tapatalk
Edit: From this list http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2093382 , all brazilian links show Access Denied
And from here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=20, only the V10D of Brazil.
I'm looking for the number 16, CLR/CLARO(BRAZIL) which is less than 1GB. Maybe i'm wrong, but when i clic on the name, a page of TNY shows a link of ADFLY that after i clic on close advertisement nothing happen.
About the method 1, I did try that, but sometimes it says "device not found" or "the system cannot find the patch specified". I'll try that from another computer, i let you know if i have some lucky. But the guy of the guide said:
!enable usb debugging
connect as MTP
follow the script"
Maybe its not for me.
Look what happen. (I'm using download mode)

Try flashing the rom less than 1 GB using the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe with CS_Emergancy mode it should work if your phone have enough battery power to keep it on in download mode for 10 minutes or so, if not then try through LGNPST using tot file. Or check if it charges in the custom recovery.
Correct me if I am wrong

Turn off your phone and put it in download mode by pressing and holding ‘Volume Up’ + ‘Volume Down’ and inserting USB and use the software to flash KDZ that I attached the screetshot, KDZ_FW_UPD.exe, this one can't flash the KDZ file bigger than 1 GB so if your KDZ is more than ! GB in size then download one that is less then 1 GB recover your phone charge it then flash your desired one. You are using the R & D Tool it always check the battery level and not allow you to flash if battery is less than 50%.
Note: If you have the mako bootloader install this tool might not flash the kdz (It never did for me) to come back to full stock you will have to use the LGNPST

If it's of any help, I had exactly the same problem just a few days ago... Read from this post further down, there were some suggestions from folks, and the final solution to my issue. Long story short, KDZ Updater can work with the dead battery, if you manage to find a KDZ that can be flashed with it. I found a 1.17GB KDZ that I was able to flash (any others, just slightly larger, would give me an extract error), and then just took it from there.
As mentioned, TeenyBin and LGNPST might be another solution, but I have no first-hand experience with it, so I can't comment...
Oh, and BTW, you are saying you "tried to use KDZ Updater", but your screenshot shows the LG Mobile Support Tool -- that's a different application, and a different process. Look at a screenshot by @hackenggr a couple of posts above -- that's KDZ Updater.

That's exactly what I did. Flashed a KDZ (1.17GB in size, the smallest I could find) with a KDZ Updater. Low battery didn't matter.

I think because you decive is converted with mako bootloader LG software not found the LG phone so they stop.
Use the LGNPST to flash the E975 tot file same way you did with teenybin just rename the .tot to .bin and you will be on the LG stock and software will work fine to your desire KDZ

CM13 Update result: (Soft)Brick

Hi Guys,
yesterday i wanted to update (dirtyflash) my lg g3, because the 2312-Build of CM13 was extremely buggy (Restarts, Blackscreen by ingoing calls, etc.) I´ve done this before about 10thousand times and on 100 other phones, but yesterday after the flash in TWRP the TWRP wasn´t able to delete the cache.
I tried to flash again to delete dalvik and cache afterwards clean, this time it worked. The phone was booting to the PIN-Entry but it freezes - no entry possible.
I want to try flash back an older build, but phone stucks in bootloop - so i have to manually enter recovery to get into twrp. I flashed an older cm13 build 1812 and cache deleting was not possible again.
Yesterday was Xmas so i thought i will fix it today, but on first time when i tried to get manually into recovery mode, the question for deleting all data appeared, but after that TWRP wasn´t starting, just the stuck lg logo again. (Battery was pulled out for the whole night)
Now im not able to boot into recovery mode anymore or do something else. I tried the download mode (Vol+ and then plug in USB) without access.
I cant do something, just look at the beautiful LG Logo - have you guys some advice for me? What could i try?
THX

I have almost the same problem.
Try to charge the battery without starting the phone. After it had 100 percent I was able to start the recovery..

When i plug it in to charge, after 20 Min. fastboot starts automatic!? Is this normal and will the battery get charged in fastboot mode?
I don´t know if it was on 100% battery after about 1 1/2 hour of loading, but the same issue: It asks me for entering in recovery but didnt start TWRP, Logo Bootloop again.

I tried to fix it with adb/fastboot, but no chance. I get the phone listed, but its offline.
Tried to reboot to recovery with the recovery.img (TWRP) and reboot recovery - it starts twrp but stuck on twrp logo.
Somebody help :crying:

Same thing for me on cm13(18-12) with flash other kernel,i get LG Logo and "Security Error" message under it,i couldnt solve it,then flashed stock rom(.kdz) via usb-download mode and solved problem.

Same problem here.
First the phone freezed a couple of times. Pulled the battery out. Then tried to reinstall, the reinstall failed for some reason. And from then on... Stuck in the LG Logo. When I try to charge the phone the battery icon appears but doesn't show progress.. after many be 20 minutes the phone boots in "fastboot mode", but even then when I connect the usb cable it says that the USB cannot be enumerated.
I managed to take some log from the devices right before it freezed the last time.

Flash stock would be great, but i have no possibility to enter usb-download mode. Just Fastboot - and just with offline device.
I can start TWRP with the newest TWRP in the ADB Folder as "recovery.img", and then reboot recovery.img - but it get stuck at TWRP-Logo. The phone react to the commands.
I would need a solution to do a factory reset or flash stock with adb/fastboot and offline device.

same here.

Please read carefully before you try and flash something - both methods requires USB-Download-Mode, which is actually in my case NOT possible anymore.
Today ive got time and will try a few things, if it works i let you know.

Nr. 1 of your link could work, but it´s the last method for me i will try because i have to open my g3 (de-virgin it) :laugh:
Nr. 2 isn´t a option, look at point 4) Enter to Download Mode and plug USB into your PC -> Download Mode isn´t possible on my coma g3
I think this is the "easiest" solution (Click here) (based on your 1st links solution - but without opening the phone), but i´m not sure i have to donate for the files.
I´m still reading the tutorials and will report how it worked for me.

Hi there,
I just posted a how-to, as @omer323 said above. Glad to see there's a dedicated thread, instead of "polluting" CM13's one (even if it's CM13-related, I think).
The guide I wrote is there, we can discuss about it right here if needed.

That was the hardest and longest thing i ever done with an android-phone but hey, it really worked, my g3 is alive :victory::victory:
Here are some "impressions":
My motherboard is a little bit different, but i tried it with the 2nd pin and it was magic! Look here
Disassembly the g3 was a little bit tricky-er as i thought, but i´ve done it, maybe some help for somebody to see the parts you can take off, see here: Parts 1
Parts 2
You have mentioned in your guide, that you´ll need a 3rd hand to plug in usb while pointing at gnd and the pin - in my opinion a 4th hand would be better - but i´ve created a "connector" to be able to fix it on ground and on the other side a needle, to be sure just to point just the pin2-solder-point, look here: SelfmadeConnector
Flashtool v1.8 didn´t worked for me (on Win10 64-bit), tried to flash instead .kdz with FlashTool2014 with success. Before that i had to lower the com-port to port 6 - i dont know why but it didn´t worked with port 41. for example com6
:fingers-crossed::good: I wish i could click on "Thank you" twice
One thing left:
I am rooted on stock with TWRP running but no IMEI. (IMEI: 0)
I´ve got an efs-backup of my g3, but no .img-file just folders with about 2GB Data in it - about ~20 .win and .md5 files.
Can i restore the imei and the other stuff i´ve lost through the wipe with this files or should i just restore the imei like mentioned in your guide? (What if I don’t have any EFS backup?)
Thanks for that guide and adventure

Those files you're talking about, how did you get them ? Using TWRP ? If so, just use the "restore" menu of TWRP and point to the directory where your files are stored. It should recognize the backup.

Thanks for that advice.
Yes i had these files from a TWRP-EFS-BACKUP, but i wasn´t able to point to something, the list in twrp/restore was just empty.
I moved the files in the TWRP Folder on Internal Storage and voilá it listed the Backup and i was able to restore everything: IMEI, MAC, ....
My G3 is right now not just back from coma, its like re-born :fingers-crossed:
Thank you mate!

This hasn't happened to me but just curious if it has been tested to skip the erasing EMMC part and just rewriting each partition with LG Board Diag?
Partitions to write would be:
PrimaryGPT
modem
aboot
rpm
tz
laf
recovery (I'd replace the stock recovery bin/img with a TWRP img file... this way you can just boot into TWRP after writing everything)
dbi
sbl1 (write sbl1 last if possible)
then boot into TWRP... flash the latest modem/rpm/tz combo required to CM 13... then flash CM 13, gapps, etc...
if you still get stuck at boot up... boot back into TWRP and hit the Wipe button > swipe slider to factory reset data.
I ask because I'm sure there are some who haven't backed up their EFS... this might be a way to avoid that? Of course.. depending on what parts of the emmc were messed up... it may be possible a full wipe is still needed like the guide above mentions. But any chance at avoiding that step would be ideal in my opinion.

maxauvy's guide worked perfectly for me!!
