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!

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

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!
Last night I installed geefree on my phone from the app store and used it to install TWRP. I downloaded a nightly CM11 and an appropriate gapps. Using geefree I rebooted to recovery (never figured out the button combination to boot to recovery "naturally") and installed both of the zips. This could be where I made my mistake, I installed both at the same time.
Now my phone loops, displaying the LG logo for a few seconds, then shutting off and rebooting before repeating the process. I can't seem to get it to go into download mode or the recovery menu. I've tried power+up, power+down, down+up and each of those while plugging the device in, etc. I can get the device to a hardware key control mode, though it doesn't seem too useful.
How can I save my phone? This forum has been a great resource in the past and I'm very grateful for the many tutorials I've followed rooting other devices. Hopefully you guys can save the day once again!
Volume up plus power is how to access recovery on sprint.
What stock sw version were you on before you flashed cm?
Did you wipe data before flashing?
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I was using stock 4.2.2, I believe. I didn't wipe the data (shame on me), a bad habit that I picked up from my first rooted device, the Samsung Moment. It didn't ever matter on that one, afaik. Thanks for the reply!
Edit: Volume up and power whether plugged in or not takes me to the hardware key control mode screen.
Second Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476&page=35 I also found this thread where someone seems to be experiencing similar issues and they fix it with "LG Utility." Is that a PC application? It's a little vague to google, but I've been trying!
I have a bootloop issue every time i flash a rom i have to wipe all but sd flash roms and gapps the i do a restore from twrp and oly restore my boot image only and they boot no prob
I'm kind of starting to suspect my power button doesn't work at all for whatever reason. I have a lot of difficulty getting the phone to shut down, then it doesn't seem to easily power up. It's a strange collection of problems. Would a Sprint repair place be able to fix this?
If they have parts on hand if not either a swap out or a sendoff
Same problem here - bootloop and no download mode - CWM works! - urgently need help
I guess I have the same problem as InlineFourPower (apart from that my power-button has no problem).
I am stuck in bootloop since I tried to upgrade to Kitkat a few days ago. Now I can´t get into download mode any more, nor into fastboot or anything else. Only CWM works.
From within CWM I can successfully flash ROMs but that doesn´t help, since afterwards I am still stuck in bootloop. It is possible, however, to push files via adb-commands while I am in CWM.
Does anybody have an idea how to go from here or how to get download-mode back?
Device is recognized but can´t be mounted - bricked forever?

I tried a few things on Linux.
After terminal-command "ls /dev/sd*" when the device is unplugged from the computer I get "/dev/sda".
When the device is connected via USB, I get: "/dev/sda /dev/sdb"
So sdb is my LG G2.
So I went on to the next command: "gdisk -l /dev/sdb"
As a result I get: "Problem opening /dev/sdb for reading! Error is 123."
Does it mean that the phone isn´t mounted or what? Now I´ve connected my phone to another Linux machine with the same result. It is recognised (p.e. as sdd), but there is no sdd1. Seems as if it is recognized, but can´t be mounted. Does that mean my device is bricked for good? That´s it?
to get the phone into download mode you have to plug the usb cord in and hold VOL+, so to get this right as I have a case on mine, plug the usb into the phone first then hold VOL+ and plug into usb port on the computer.
it does take a loooong time to power down the phone with the button when stuck in a boot loop, just keep holding it until it shuts off, it will shut off eventually!!
plug the phone in while in download mode to install drivers and set com ports, then unplug before you begin your flash with LGFlashTool, hope this helps you out.

Thanks Cronic2009 for your advice.
There are, however, szenarios where download-mode is not accessible any more. Neither by using the hardware-keys, nor by using the adb-command.
After four days of resarch and a lot of trial and error, I finally unbricked my F320L using the two adb-commands outlined at the beginning of that thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696
Worked like a charm.
Thanks everyone for your advice.
no problem buddy, glad you got it figured out, good luck to you from here on out!
FYI, that link doesn't work
I just wanted to ask anyone who might know, since the bootloader of the LS980 is locked, we cannot "break" this correct, so no matter what commands we decide to run through root, we cant touch the true bootloader there for LS980 fail safe? (Besides Acts of God, EMP, ect)

Be sure if you use a aosp based rom to flash the ZV8 modem. Your can use dr87 or furnance kernals after you flash the zva modem althought i have encountered soft brick due to this.

Borderline noob here, so please bear with me...
I have been using TWRP 2.7.0.0 to do all my work, and I was able to get the Lego ROM installed with ZVA. I got into too big of a hurry and forgot to make a backup of stock. I've also been unsuccessful in trying to install ZVC modem and firmware. Thankfully ZVA works as does the LEGO ROM, but I'd like to have stock there to access as well. The stockZVC that's on the Android Development page has been getting stuck (bootloop?) on the Sprint Spark logo. I've done TWRP's factory reset with no success. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance!
Yes sir I've tried that and more to no avail is there anything I can do through adb I'm on stock recovery phone doesn't stay on long enough to install anything

You ever get her fixed?
Day before yesterday, I tried to go back to stock. Must not have had the right ROM or something. Long story short, phone doesn't turn on. Computer will make a noise letting me know that it has been plugged in though. Under device manager it comes up as...
Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM7)
So, hard bricked? Tried pulling the battery and everything else. So I guess, can anyone point me to a guide or explain here step by step what I need to do? I did some searching and found various guides, all of which seemed to differ. Looking for a good solid answer. I have a Jig on the way but not sure whether or not it will work.

@nbar7655, you also confirmed the red led in your last post, so yes it is bricked, and as suggested you're only option is to try the debrick method. If that doesn't work, the only other option is a jtag service. The jig, while good to have, will not help in this particular situation.

Thank you. I did make this post just because I felt that it should have a post of it's own and I shouldn't sit on someone else' thread for too long haha.
So, my only option is through the debrick img, correct? Any ideas where I can grab one. I believe I know the steps to doing it. (Throwing it on an SD card) but I seem to find different debrick files all over the place. THANKS!
I agree about not hijacking that firmware thread for this, so no big deal.
This is the thread I was referring you to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47984104
It gets confusing because everyone creates a new thread for every brick just about. But since yours happened while on 4.3, try using the debrick.img provided in the OP.
If it doesn't work, don't give up. Many people have had to make several attempts before it would work. It may seem a lot, but id try at least 6 or 7 times before giving up on that image and looking for another.
OK and just to double check, all I have to do is write the image to the sdcard, pop the SD card into my phone and then (attempt) to power it on?
UPDATE: OH MY GOD! Got it into recovery!!! Where do I go from here? Lmao
UPDAT2: Ok, so I can boot into what looks like stock mode but I am sure that I am only booting from the SD card. So at this point, do I run odin and flash a stock ROM?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Free mobile app
Im assuming you used the 4.3 debrick.img correct? And is it booting into stock or a custom recovery?
Either way, try to reboot download mode and Odin flash the MJB firmware. (Don't forget to take out the sd card first). Hopefully, after the flash completes it'll reboot right into the OS. You were on aosp before, right? You may need to factory reset to get it to boot all the way.

Where can I find that firmware?
My bad, I am assuming from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2540998
If so, what exactly am I grabbing from that?
Also, any files that I grab from there...ODIN doesn't see them because they aren't the correct file types? Maybe I am not grabbing the correct ones?
Well, the firmware I had in mind is the same that is in the thread you first posted in. Try redownloading it and flashing again. Ill try to find an alternative if you prefer though.
I know there is a method where you first flash recovery with odin, then flash the firmware from recovery. Id have to locate the files needed though. (The thread you linked to may have exactly that though. I will look closer in just a bit)
Ok, if you want to try another way, go to this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52341560
Download the one that says to flash with custom recovery.
Now, using Odin, flash TWRP or CWM recovery.
Now reboot to that recovery and flash the package you just downloaded.
Factory reset.
Reboot.
If it tries to boot, but hangs or goes straight to recovery, download the other package from that post and flash it in Odin. Then try to reboot again.
Basically, if you follow the instructions in thst post from start to finish, you should be able to boot up to stock 4.3. If you do not flash the last part in Odin (if you stop after the recovery flash), hopefully your device will be able to boot into whatever you last were running. It would probably be best to go back to full stock though.
Good Luck!

& 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.
what's up, any one miss me
so I got another G4 and thought I could fix this buuuuuut I got one issue before I can go forward with a repair for this phone
there is no download mode and no recovery, there is no OS, I tried vol. up plus power etc. and it just sits on LG logo, my PC did not make any noise that is sees the phone, at this point I'm already seeing its already bricked, its been awhile that I messed with a bricked phone (lgg3) but I never messed with a bricked lgg4 before
this phone I just got and it is marked untested so I figured why not lets see what I can do,
I don't mind getting the latest OS and I don't plan to root this phone, just factory reset and go. I did look but anything I seen didn't match what I am facing, I been messing with this thing and looking around ever since I got home so now its time to ask you all. if the phone is a no go from here then that is fine at least I tried to get back in the game here, any help would be great and thank you.
if this comes to a success, I plan to make a phone repair video as I know some/most have missed me, if you don't know who I am, hit me up or look up my username laserwolf452. sorry I haven't been on in forever
(update) managed to find factory reset didn't know had to let go of power and press again but it did not solved the issue, still looking at posts to see if there's anything I'm missing, my vs986 i can hold both power and vol down without letting go of the power button, is there another way to get download mode at least, as for the fact. reset mode, it was just yes no, no other options
(update) dumb moment, so yesterday I tried to work on this phone, long day at work and realized that the USB cord I use was not good, just charging and found that out when I hooked up my vs986 and yes its been a long time that I haven't messed with this phone, so I was right it is bricked I got the qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008, there was another one it showed eariler and it was qhsusb_bulk fix
so now I got somewhere. I am trying to find some methods to get this phone at least back to life and factory stock
I did try to go in DL mode but it show the icon but it will not kick over to firmware mode, before more time is put into this phone at this point, is it worth getting it back or is it dead dead,
if its worth it, is anyone willing to help me understand a method that works to fix the phone. I do have hard times understanding how this all works and at this point in my point of view, it feels really really complicated
