UPDATE 13 oct 2011.
the phone is still in lg hands...nobody knows anything about when and if it will come back
incredible...

cool down
it's really hard to brick a phone...
read the guide for flashing via pc and it will work again.
i'm not shure but think the o3d has also a downloadmode (volume down+power)
if the downloadmode also doesn't work it's really ****ed up
but as i said i'm not shure if there is a downloadmode...
edit: ok sorry... at the moment there is no way to update the phone via pc without a running os. sorry but you'll have to w8 till there is a way. (like odin from samsung)
edit2: found a solution!
but it's in german...

you can translater it via google and if you don't understand everthing i can help you ->austira

Flash KDZ or use LG's recovery to go back to normal. Boot it up on download mode for this.
This is what happens when you start flashing crap from 2X.
Probably since partitions are different, you've just formatted what you shouldn't have.

tnk everybody but it don't go in download mode! or maybe i wrong something....how should i try to go in download mode? with key combination it don go! please help

Try this:
1. Remove battery
2. Press volume up
3. While it is pressed, insert the usb cable
Should enter download mode I think.
If it doesn't, try the same thing but with volume down.
Afterwards, you can let go of the key, and go to LG mobile tools and on the menu click recovery. It'll ask for your IMEI, put it there and press ok. Wait for the process to finish.

but...KDZ is a us odin is for samsung? this is the first lg i have...maybe the last too

I try but after i inpout emai and product code, the download never start and a error messege appear

Try to flash a KDZ then.

how to flash a KDZ? what sw do I need?

I've try to flash a kdz but the problem is the same than before. the pc don't see the phone. I've try without battery pushing vol up and plug usb but it begin to feel the phone andg give error message sound continuosly like a loop. if i look the hardware in PC proprity it appear snd disappear with the sound tha i told before. it is like if I plug the phone 1 time for second...the pc reveak and reject it...I'm in a **** situation

Did you install the drivers?

yes of course..as I wrote on first message I've had allready root the phone with oneclick when everything happened...so the pc was allready pared with the phone...I really don't know what to do! that's a bad day for me

Spero che tu sia piu fortunato di me... ti spiego in inglese se no mi cazziano.
Connect usb cable, the telephone start automatically.
Press and hold power button to shutdown the telephone (ca 5 seconds)
Press Power button and volume up (hold the key for 10 seconds).
You can hear the usb sound from your operating system.
Repress power and volume up for another 10 sec.
You can hear usb sound, don't remove finger from two buttons, waiting another sound.
Now you can use lg software to try to restore the original firmware.
The problem for my telephone is the "upgrading firmware" page don't start... any time I power up the telephone I see the upgrading firmware page but the progress bar don't move.
I hope you have more lucky
(sorry for my bad english)

This is a little guide on optimus 3d, for reset to factory settings
Get updater if you don't have go here http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
After the installation start the updater and follow these steps.
1 Install the correct drivers
2 select the top right option and select your model phone from list “LGP920”
3 after the drivers are installed extract the battery and shut-down, then while holding volumUp button insert the usb cable in to pc.
4 Once your pc finds the phone let it install the drivers
5 Once done your phone will display “S/W Upgrade”.
6 now in the updater go to >support go to >select disaster recovery.
7 before recovery starts enter imei and serial number of the phone.
Wait until the process finishes and everything is completed, remove the usb cable insert the battery and start normally.
Hope this helps.

ok but it don't start and don't power off...it's dead. the battery icon never come!

Try having a read through this thread to see if any of the advice there might help,

I faced a similarish problem, though a little different to what you describe. I wasn't quite able to get my phone working again, and the store I bought it from are exchanging for a replacement, but perhaps something in there can help you out.

htc touch pro 2 blank screeN

here is my problem guys. i was trying to flash my htc touch 2 sprint it with Raphaelhardspl(wrong flashing) and in the process the screen went blank. i was trying to do it one more time and my PC is asking for qualcomm cdmd technologies msn driver, every time i connect the phone to my PC. i have tried it soft reset. and hard reset wont work. any suggestion will be thanks full. thank you. the main problem is that my pc wont recognize ??
WHOEVER solve my problem will pay 50 buck via paypal
The quickest way to brick your phone is to try to flash it with programs meant for other phones, which it appears you have done.( bricked )
Try putting it into bootloader and flashing stock rom , or try mtty.exe, but if your pc won't recognize it and your screen shows no life, it is probably toast. Does it at least have hardspl on it . ?
yes it does have hardspl. there have to be a way that my pc will recognized it. i think.
As denco7 said, have you tried getting into the bootloader mode?
Hold volume down and press the red button with your stylus.
Connect your pro2 to your PC and if it connects the word 'serial' will change into 'USB'.
If it does, your device is not bricked.
I suggest you flash Hard-SPL again, and make sure to follow the instructions exactly! Don't think you can do it just in a minute, just take your time.
Then flash another ROM by using MTTY (see here) and there you'll get some instructions.
Good luck!
it wont go to boot loader mode, when i connect it to the pc it begin to charge and noting happen , then suddenly the light go off and the pc detect a driver is missing quaccom etc. does any one know about that this driver.
I've had that before... that the MSM technology qualcomm **** is asking for a driver.
There's a driver replacement (used before mtty). You can try to install that; altough I don't think it will help.
If you can't get into bootloader your device is (probably) bricked.
What you can also try is getting your battery, sd-card and simcard out of your phone and leave it for an hour. Then put the battery only back, and try to boot.
Does your phone start when you press the start button? So do you feel a vibrate or somethin like that?
no it wont start but maybe by following that MTTY my pc read it, i will try it. . it doesn even bibrate it just that power light show when that phone its charging thats all.
thanks for you comment guys.
That's strange.
There's one last thing you could try: the ultimate hard-reset
Some time ago I bricked my diamond. I tried all available sofkey combinations.
Then, suddenly, my device vibrated like 3 tiimes very loudly.
It didn't still boot nor go into bootloader.
But after about 4 hours it booted!
I only don't know what the combination was... something like VOl UP + VOL DWN + lOCK BUTTON + RESET.
Just try some combinations, maybe it works for you.maybe not, but you could try it.

Cell phone ! PC-- HELP!!! trying to install 2.2

ok so i went to AT&T webiste to install 2.2. well not my phone is stuck on a black screen with the cell phone ! PC picture.. I have tried to hold teh volume keys and power etc.. nothing all i get is that picture.. What can i do to fix this tonite??
Buy a jig. You would have come to that conclusion already if you had bothered searching the forums.
Pull battery, sim, external sd. Put battery back in. hold just volume up and down, plug in usb. Do you get to an android guy with s shovel? If so you will likely recovery tonight. If not you will need a usb jig

^ This. People don't always need a jig. (most cases they won't). Try that first then if every way imaginable of doing that fails. Build a jig (if you know how, there's a thread around here somewhere) or buy one.
well now if anything was CLEAR on the steps to fix this i wouldn't be asking..
I get the android with the shovel sometimes, but when i started the mini keis the install fails.. wants me to do emergency recovery which i do then that fails. that is when i get the cell ! pc screen..
sorry if i am asking.. just new to this and this was my first post..
Forget kies for now, that is not going to help you now, you can get to that screen though correct?
Pull your battery, on the left side on the white sticker is your build number. Something like 1008. What is yours
This should help in many cases.

Flash stock software.
It might just be that you need a new usb cable because I had the same problem where it seem to get stuck when I tried to flash the new firmware and I got the same screen you got but I tried a different usb cable and it worked.
Come on mods do some modding
i think the build # is 1083
I just changed the usb cord. followed these steps:
This only works for the captivate, not any other galaxy s variant.
Situations: phone-!-Computer / no download mode
Black Screen / RST_STATUS 0x0
Procedure:
1. Remove the battery, external SD card and SIM card.
2. Wait 10 seconds.
3. Open odin3
4. Connect usb cable.
5. Hold volume up + volume down + Power.
6. Insert battery.
7. Release POWER BUTTON ONLY.
You should now be in immediate download mode.
Get the android guy with shovel.. downloading etc..
I looked at the odin screen and it shows:
0:[COM7} in the ID:com
But feels like nothing is happening..

If you're trying to upgrade to 2.2 from AT&T then you don't need to enter download mode or recovery mode. First make sure that USB debugging is unchecked.
Go to Menu>Settings>Applications>Development
Go back to Applications>USB Settings
(Recommended) Check ask on connection
Assuming you already have the drivers installed, open Kies mini as this is how to install the update. Plug in the USB cord, check the Kies (firmware update) button on the phone and wait for Kies mini to find your phone.
If it finds your phone it will do the rest. Just be patient. Good Luck!

Good one.. I like how you just gave him a bunch of advice he can't really use in a soft-brick situation, even after quoting him saying that he's soft bricked
I do this regularly (switching between roms and kernals). The easiest way I fix it is to use Odin3_v1.0 and just load some random pda/kernal/modem files in there and run it. When it gets into the OS, just turn it off and use Odin3 to put I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 back on it. Works every time.

Phone will not boot past recovery. Please help, major panic!!

Oh dear.....I hope I haven't destroyed my O3D....
I was attempting to install the V10D update, so used the backup I took right after rooting and installing ROM Manager to restore the phone to its status before installing the performance pack. If I tried installing the update OTA before this I just got an invalid package error.
So the restore went well and it rebooted fine. So I ran the update again, and it downloaded and appeared to install, but when the phone rebooted it just booted straight into the recovery. I tried to get it to reboot again, but again it just booted back into recovery.
Ok, nothing to worry about I thought, I just ran the restore again with the same restore point as before....but after it finished it's still booting back up into the recovery!!! No matter what I do the phone just seems to keep booting into the recovery menu. I've tried booting into emergency mode by powering the phone off, then holding the UP Volume key and holding power, but it doesn't seem to work.
Can anyone help? Please?
Lil update -
When powering off the phone and then connecting it to the USB cable, it automatically boots into recovery mode without me even touching the power button. At this point the LG Mobile Update detects the phone and advises me that there's an update available. I try to apply this, but after entering the SN and IMEI, it just gives me a message "Updating is not possible any longer due to a fatal error while the LG Mobile Phone Software Update". I get the same error if I use the recovery Phone option. This always happens at the download stage, so is it possible that it's just failing to download the update from LG rather than actually do anything with the phone?
Please don't tell me I've ruined my brand new phone!!
Unfortunatly, you've managed to do the same as I have... leave the phone for e a few days and wait for a rom that you can install via clockwork recovery, you'll have your phone up and running again. Dont do as I did and wipe the recovery from the phone, it will result in a total brick (or at least a brick till LG releaase a full rom update (could be months yet...).
Oh man, I'm panicking so much that I might have ruined the phone now.....

I'm not sure what I'm looking for there, I've looked through that thread but it doesn't seem relevant to the problem I'm having.
I have the same problem, if you put it into emergency mode you can update to 10d but then its even worse then you are stuck in the firmware update screen
tomorrow I leave on holiday and was planning for nice 3d pictures and movies but I am screwed...

Don't panic, I managed to totally brick my phone today and LG told me to send it back for DOA but I managed to recover it in the end.
My phone wouldn't show anything on the screen, it remained black so I can say your position sounds much better than mine.
What you will need:
USB Drivers - Download from here (Check note)
LG Mobile Support Tool (LGMST) - Download from here
Before you start: Disconnect the phone from the computer and totally remove the battery.
So here we go:
!!!REMOVE ALL THE LG USB DRIVERS FROM THE SYSTEM BEFORE YOU CONTINUE!!! Go to add remove programs, select the LG United entry and then uninstall it.
First install the USB Driver from the link above and wait until it has finished with the setup.
Then run the LGMST. When it starts and it says "Disconnected." then put the battery back to the phone and connect the phone to the computer.
Press ONLY the Power button and wait until something happens. If you see that the phones boots and the LGMST starts it by itself then wait till it stops with all the information gathering stuff.
Then regardless of what the program says of you having an update or not, DON'T START THAT UPDATE!
Click on alt on the keyboard and the from the menus at the top select Customer and then emergency(the last option).
Type in the phones IMEI (located at the box of the phone or on a sticker under the battery) without dashes, just numbers.
Finally click on Check and follow the instructions on the screen.
You should be ready as new after 10-15 minutes with the standard V10B firmware and you should not even lose data.
Tell me if that helped so if it didn't we can still fix it I'm sure
Note: I'm aware that 3.3.0 is the latest USB driver that it ships with the phone but for some reason I had only success to flash the phone using the older 3.2.1
That does not work for our problem, just a blank screen is better than stuck in firmware update mode :s

I'm afraid that didn't work (I think I'm gonna cry soon)
When I go to the Customer Support option, the last option isn't called Emergency it's called "Recovery Phone" and seems to launch exactly the same thing as it does if I click the big "Start Updating" button. There is no option named Emergency at all. Does that mean my phone isn't/wont/can't boot into Emergency mode?
I don't even hold down the power button for my phone to switch on, the second I insert the battery it boots into Clockwork Recovery. If I power off the phone and connect the USB, I don't get the battery charging animation or anything, the screen just remains completely blank. Then if I press the power button (alone or with anything else) it just boots to Clockwork recovery.
The LG Mobile Support Tool seems to detect the phone in this state, but as I said, when it tries to do the download, I just get an error saying "Updating is not possible any longer due to a fatal error while the LG Mobile Phone Software Update". The version of the Mobile Support Tool that it's installing is 1.5.1.8 after downloading from your provided link, just incase you need to know that. It seems the tool automatically updates itself on every launch.
Someone also seems to have posted the actual ROM in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155874 would installing this perhaps assist? Is it even possible to install this when my phone wont boot up past the recovery manager? If it is possible can someone perhaps advise me how?

Unfortunately the phone wont boot into Emergency mode. The clockwork Recovery mod seems to have taken over all of the boot options. If I hold the volume up key and press the power button, nothing happens. If I hold the volume down key and the power button, it boots to clockwork recovery. If I just press power, boots to clockwork recovery.
Is there any way to strip off Clockwork recovery and restore the original/stock recovery onto the phone? Or even just remove Clockwork recovery so that it just hangs on the LG boot screen? (See reasoning for this below)
I can still select the USB mount option in Clockwork recovery and the PC still picks it up as a storage device and I can browse around.
The phone is only 7 days old, so I'm almost tempted to just delete the internal memory so that clockwork doesn't show up, then take the phone back to the store and say it wont boot up and try to get it replaced.
Or what would happen if I renamed the clockworkmod folder on the phone's hard drive?
(Just another note, I don't have an external SD card in the phone, just the internal memory)

How else can I put it into Recovery Mode? How can I tell if I've done it right?
I managed to hold the up volume key and hold down the power button, and the LG Mobile Update detected the phone whilst the screen was blank. I thought that meant I was in recovery mode?
I should point out that the LG Logo wasn't flashing up however. I only ever see the LG Logo before it boots into Clockwork RecoveryMod
I also got that fatal error thing when i bricked my phone. For me the phone would start flashing but it got stuck at 17% and then an error followed saying that there was a communication problem between the phone and the pc. My solution was to switch from my desktop computer to my laptop and the procedure ran smoothly after.
You said that the phone powers up directly after you connect it to the pc and while having the support tool running?
You can try to shut it down so it shows a black screen as you said and then try to boot into emergency mode with the vol.up+power button.
The windows sounds might help you on that. you can listen from the computer when the phone connects/powers up or not.
EDIT: Just read your post, if the phone remains black is a good thing.
if your update fails or goes into clockwork recovery etc you will need LG mobile update on your pc and install the lg p920 drivers
turn your phone off take the battery out leave it for 10 sec, connect battery and usb cable hold power and volume up hold it for 10 sec let go then do it again for 10 sec
now run LG mobile update click customer support > recover type your imei let it update once finished power up phone now you will get a screen on the phone that says updating let it update
Well I'm not sure what I did differently. Not sure if I wasn't pressing the button hard enough or my finger was slipping off, or if I've just somehow tricked the phone, but the LG Phone Update from the Phone Recovery option is now running.
I've been doing the same thing I was doing before (or at least thought I was doing) and I'm not sure what I did differently....but....fingers crossed..... the download will finish in 40 minutes (on a crappy connection at the moment) so I'll be able to see what happens then....
UPDATE -
Progress, though not quite yet success.
The LG Mobile Support tool downloaded the software and applied the update succesfully, though my phone didn't automatically restart. I pressed the power button however and it loaded up and not into Clockwork Recovery Mod. It's not however sitting on an "Updating Firmware" screen and the progress bar doesn't seem to be filling at all.
How long does this part of the process normally take?
Does the phone need to be connected to USB for this part of the process? The LG Mobile Support Tool says the phone is disconnected so I'm guessing there's no active data connection between the PC and phone, just power.
Does this normally take a while? Or should I perhaps try the recovery again?

This is only supposed to happen when you apply the OTA update. Try to reapply the stock firmware in emergency mode. After the program applies the firmware, it should boot up the phone by itself in android and give you a success or finish message on the computer.

Is applying the Stock Firmware not what I did with the LG Mobile Support Tool when it downloaded that huge 300MB+ file?
I have contacted the customer services for Carphone Warehouse, and the guy advised that if the phone seemed to have developed a fault and wouldn't start, then since it's within 28 days of purcahse I can get a like for like replacement. Might have to go ahead and do that this evening.

Lg optimus one died

Please help, my LG Optimus One won't even start anymore - I was using KDZ Updater and an error came up, I turned it off and tried to turn it back on, but nothing happens - it doesn't do anything, I press the button and nothing happens.
Take it to the warranty service. Tell them that you tried to update the firmware via official lg tool and something went wrong.

I cant help u out in this situation u should contact to LG but prefer u that in future if u faced any of this situation dont disconnect ur phone in EMERGENCY MODE, if in case of any error while updating or downgrading then at the same time restart KDZ Updater and flash ur phone with a working rom. (Officially available by LG)

Anyone have any other fixes for this? Can't send back to LG as I bought it off eBay.

- don't worry , stay calm i brick'ed my phone like 50 times, i brick'ed so bad it diden't want to start, power button was usless.
TRY this:
- remove battery , while holding the UP volume key and back button connect it to PC via USB Emergency mode should apear , then open KDZ and install via 3GQCT and EMERGENCY an original/stock firmware ( Froyo 2.2.2 v10E.kdz http://www.4shared.com/file/O3Nw1b4s/V10E_00.html )
- after KDZ finishes an animation will apear , then you must put back the battery.
- things that you may encounter , errors in KDZ , phone fails to start after KDZ resets it , KDZ successfully installs rom and powers off phone when you power on phone it stopps at Android logo, sometimes the android logo animation work's and lags for 2 3 seconds (do a battery pull, put it back then power on the phone if it lags then you must reflash) , you must do a battery pull, connect usb without battery and chose DIAG in KDZ, reflash. ​
- as i was saying i killed my phone alot of times, KDZ always helped me bring it back to life , be patient.. and if you get alot of errors and flash meny times the phone gets hot , leave it to cool for a while and then try again.
you can install Froyo 2.2.2 v10E.kdz

You should hold both buttons by one hand using 2 fingers and simultaneously connect it to pc through usb cable to enter into emergency mode..its a bit tricky..just by only pressing two button nothing will happen.

Nothing happens. Can I try anything else before I take it to LG Service Center?
P.S: Removed the URLs as XDA would not allow me to post.
Just go to the service, i had this problem twice , but i just go to the LG service and they changed my phone mainboard
Yeah. That's what they said to me too. Will be a week without my phone now.
well my warranty has been over
so normally send to service center they will charge right ?
furthermore, almost everytime flash to v20g (gingerbread official ROM) my phone sure can't turn on
so flash back to v10g (froyo official ROM) then said something param error, and my phone matter how I turn on also black screen
which either turn on in emergency mode (back + volume up + power), factory reset (volume down + home + power) and normal turn on phone
try charge the phone also no respond

tried already
as I said can't even turn on into emergency mode
Then you have no other choice then to go to LG Service Center.
Find one with JTAG.. it will cost you less. Otherwise it will be costly!!

what is JTAG ? mind explain ?
and my warranty has been over

I will explain you in a simple way.. when you do a hard brick, you actually corrupt the IC data.
The main IC ( processor) on the board is a programmed one. (We used to program basic 8085 and 8086 processors which used to be a big pain).
So when you hard brick a device.. there is no other option than to change the board (PCB).
But if there is someone well experinced with JTAG.. they can reset and re-program it again.
And it will cost you less than replacing the board.
Not all Service Centre do JTAG though.. hope you find one!!
Yes.. they will charge you!!
did ur fone goes to offline charging mode still?? if yes playing a little wid kdz updater can bring ur fone bak. if nt go for service cntres.

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.
