Stuck on LG Logo after flashing a corrupted ROM file

Hi.
So I was flashing a ROM using CWR but it looks like the Zip file was corrupted. So after I selected the zip file, the phone restarted and now is stuck on LG Logo.
Anyway to resurrect the phone from dead?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Try power button+vol down+3d button if you can get the recovery....

Thanks for the reply.
When I hold those three buttons the phone started, shows LG Logo for a few second then turns off.
I tried LG Mobile Update tool as well, after I type my Serial and IMEI, it says "Starts downloading data..." then immidately shows a "There a fatal error with LG Update tool, please contact your adminisitrator"

When you see the logo release only the power button immediatly after 5-6 second the recovery should appear...
If you will not able to get the recovery look here:

I had the same problem and:
1) Start LG Mobile update
2) Power off your phone without USB cable
3) Connect the USB cable and wait for the LG logo and the annimation battery
4) Pressing Vol.up + power 6-7 seconde wait for the LG logo and The screen turns off
5) Again pressing Vol.up + power 6-7 seconde and wait until the drivers are installed (LG Mobile update detects your phone and the screen is always off)
Here I was lucky because lgupdater detected my phone and then said that an update was needed. Applied and then everything went fine.
PS sorry for my english...

I have the stock v10c ROM on a 'Rogers' LG Optimus 3D.
I had been using the Google+ Android client and pushed the power button to put the phone tosleep (with the G+ screen still being displayed). About 15 mins later I pulled the phone out of my pocket and it was dark, but the touch countrols were all lit up.
I know that usually isn't good news.
I pulled the battery and tried to re-boot. It gets to the Rogers bitmap and then boot-loops, with a flash of the Rogers scren each time it restarts a cycle.
I did vol+down+Power and the it booted into a recovery (3e) menu that only offered me the chance to wipe all user data. Ok. I did that. The phone then presented a triangle logo and the green android and sat there.
After about 10 mins I pulled the battery again and did the Vol+down+3D button+Power boot to the REAL recovery menu.
I then did a factory reset. I have assumed the Home button is the enter button (BTW).
Again the triangle and the green android appear. They are still there 10 mins later.
Not sure what to do now...the phone won't boot and the factory reset won't fix it. But it isn't dead. I can still get to recovery, so in theory this is fixable. I just don't have time for it right now.
I was wondering if maybe the phone had updated OTA in my pocket and i didn't realise it and I may have messed up the process. But I have never seen a phone do an OTA update without first notifying the user and seeking confirmation...so I that probably isn't the case.
Very annoying.
I'm posting this here in case anyone else has the same experience.

[Q] Can only boot by plugging charger????

Hi
Can anyone help please? Also, are there anyone having similar issue.
Issue: Pressing the power button is not starting my device. In order to power on I have to connect charger (not usb with PC) and then press power button. What I have noticed is that once I switch off my phone it gets in to "emergency/recover mode". I came to this conclusion because after I switch the phone off, take battery out and put back in and then connect usb cable with my PC. I can see OMAP driver loads and also in the PC's Device Manager I am able to see LG CDMA.... under "ports".
It was not like this until i started several attempts to flash baseband.
Sequence of actions
Here is the sequence of actions I went through and end up having my phone at this stage
1. Followed the procedure (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17177547&postcount=2) step by step using LG flash tool. The application was constantly crashing (PC is running on XP pro). Before flashing baseband I flashed GB hence I lost radio.
2. To bring back my radio I had to reflash 2.2 following the same procedure (emergency recovery method) in the link given in baseband flashing.
3. After finishing the recovery flash I could not start my phone using power button. I started thinking that I bricked my phone. I left it for a day. Then I thought that the battery is fully drained and is the reason for not powering on. When I connected charger I started seeing LG logo and also the phone was started. I was more excited and happy that my phone was not bricked. After this point I need charger connected everytime when i want switch on my phone. so, I am scared to swtich off my phone unless I have charger handy to me.
4. I removed all the application (LG flashing related) including LG drivers I installed before. Now I reinstalled all the necessary app and drivers for baseband flashing. This time baseband flashing was done successfully (though at 22%). Then I flashed GB rom and everything works fine.
The only issue i have is, I can not switch on my phone without charger connected.
If anyone knows solution please help me.
Thanks in advance.

I used to have the same problem,
I think its a problem about boot,
when I use lg tools it always gives error, because phone wont boot without charger, so it cant continue upgrading
I try flasing original kdz file from lg flash tool, and use emergency rescue mode,
I dont know but it somehow repair the boot
you can fix permissions before you use lg tools.
what error do you have while using lg tool?
can you post the screen capture

After i uninstalled all the drivers (incl. LG tools) and reinstalled and I am not seeing any more error while using LG tools. I even flashed GB baseband twice but no use. The link you have given explains the same issue I have.

I think you have to install froyo version of baseband and firmware first,
then try

As i said before, the phone stays in the cwm recovery menu and doesn't do anything else. If i turn off the phone and then restart it while pressing the power button and the + button volume, it is detected by the pc and installs the drivers, but nothing else.
If i try to use your method, it doesn't communicate with the pc, phone disconnected, unavailable.
Isn't there any other way..

Ok I've managed to flash the phone. just needed windows xp to work correctly with the drivers.
thanks

Thanks to take time to help me. I've try following the step on your link but on the last step, when the official LG flasher is running, I have an message saying that my phone isn't connect with my computer.

Try to reinstall drives.Remove battery, plug phone to computer, press vol+ button and insert battery.

Is the phone suppose to turn on when i put the battery in?

If you put battery and you keep VOL up ,the phone should start in download mode.

I've succesfuly did it, my phone is working again, thanks a lot.

[Q] Possible Bricked P920 (Stuck on Boot) [SOLVED]

Hey there,
In a bit of a dilemma here with my phone.
I was running the XBSA V21E Gingerbread with ICS Theme ROM with the TitanKernel V0.4.2 V21D 09-04-2012.
I decided to install I a new rom without a flash, The Promethius Project V1.4 followed with he latest Promethius Kernel. All went successfully with no errors, according the the boot anyway.
ok...after trying to reboot many times, I have not been able to get any further than the 'LG Boot Logo' I left it on last night as I couldn't be bothered trying to fix it at the time and it stayed on the logo for over 7 hours. (Figured it would nonetheless)
These are the steps that I have tried, of which wont work for me:
1 - Turn off your phone
2 - Press power and volume down until the LG logo apears.
3 - Release the power button but keep the volume down pressed.
This takes you to the recovery screen.
1) Start LG Mobile update
2) Power off your phone without USB cable
3) Connect the USB cable and wait for the LG logo and the annimation battery
4) Pressing Vol.up + power 6-7 seconde wait for the LG logo and The screen turns off
5) Again pressing Vol.up + power 6-7 seconde and wait until the drivers are installed (LG Mobile update detects your phone and the screen is always off)
6) Click on User/Support then emergency mode, insert your IMEI and click on check - I get a popup saying "Please Check Phone Information Again"
Iv'e done everything with and without the battery in place, I have removed sim and SD card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards.
EDIT: Solved!!....huh? How?.... Well my lesson learned is, flash before installing a rom....[GUIDE] Recovering from brick/bootloop
Worked for me anyway

if the case is stuck on LG logo, go to CWM menus, wipe all and reinstall the ROM, install it twice, reboot. (always work for me if I got stuck on LG logo).
sorry for my bad english.

I mentioned that I can't get to the menu in my post.

ow sorry, I didn't notice that you can't go back to CWM menus also.
you are using LG Mobile Support Tool right for recovering?
If not, download LG Mobile Support Tool and run.
- Change Country in Option&Help, select country.
- Download the usb driver, if you are not installed yet.
- Take off your battery
- Connect the phone while holding vol.up and wait until LG support tool detect your phone
- If it connected, go to Customer Support and select Recovery Phone
- insert your IMEI, ok
- wait until it finish downloading and recovery your phone.
If not succeed on downloading, try install PC suite first and redo the steps.
Hope it's work.

I don't mean to be rude, but did you read my post at all? I mentioned that I can't do that either.
1) Start LG Mobile update
2) Power off your phone without USB cable
3) Connect the USB cable and wait for the LG logo and the annimation battery
4) Pressing Vol.up + power 6-7 seconde wait for the LG logo and The screen turns off

Problem after installing 4 button/overclock

I have a big problem with my Lg optimus 3d with Darkroom ICS.
After that i tried to install overclock with 4 keys fix from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1982744
my phone wont boot up. Here is a link to show you the problem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfdHevSyR0c&feature=youtu.be
the last thing I do in the video is holding power+vol up+3D and then I get a error screen in Korean.
When i try to connect it to my computer it just wont stay connected. (The connect and disconnect sound beeps with around 3s between)
Do anyone have a suggestion on how to fix this?
Sincerely, Henrik

Try this:
-keep battery in
-hold vol+
-connect usb (hold vol+ 'till you enter download mode)
-flash ICS via LG FlashTool
oh and make sure you've installed the whole drivers.. (for omap4430 etc)

Thanks! :good:
I have successfully been able to enter download mode. I have also installed omap drivers and LG drvers. But
LG flashtool dosent start the flashing process. Any sugestions on how to solve this?
I have been looking around on other guides and the all say you need to connect your phone without the battery, but I cant do that as my phone wont stay connected.
Sincerley, Henrik

I just did mine. Leave the battery in. Connect your phone and it will power up for 3 secs then power off repeatedly. While this is happening, hold Vol + and Power and you'll enter download mode with the korean screen. Flash ICS404 again with LG Flash tool or smart flash (I used smartflash cos it was simpler and quicker)

That files works only with wkpark method, i wrote it in the first post
Please read all before flash
Anyway was not necessary to reflash all the rom, you can just fix through wkpark fastboot
