Okay.. Help!
I just recently bought a LG GW620 from a friend.
Usually it runs on Android 1.5
I wanted it to run on Android 2.2
So, i searched the internet and found out that LG gives us this by default, all you have to do is download their update manager and let that run.
So i did.. Until it started telling me that i needed to reconnect the phone.
I did that.. about 5 maybe 6 times. After that, the update program stopped.
I now have, a big fat "!
EMERGENCY MODE" on my screen.
So, i searched, and came across a way that told me to disable the modem.
I did, but still the update program shizzle from LG doesn't seem able to find the phone.
I'm really inches away from going crazy, haven't had any food since 8 o'clock this morning(okay.. just noticed now that that is 12 hours ago.. should get some food)
But.. please.. help me!
Don't make me go back to my Xperia X1 with friggin' Windows Mobile 6.1!
Edit:
I tried this:

OK, got it.
In the settings menu, you can run a factory reset, and after a reboot, it's back to virgin state.
so, to recap:
1) You can recover from bricked state (IE, won't boot) by holding 1+Power on start to get in to Emergency Mode
- You will need LG-Utils
- You will need V10C_00.kdz
- You will need B2CAppSetup.exe (set language to English for ease of use)
- You will need USB modem drivers (I used USB SP modem drivers from LG Modem Driver 4.9.4
-- From LG-Utils directory, run KP500-Utils-EN.exe
-- Phone Model: GW620
-- File: \path\to\V10C_00.kdz
-- Version: V10C_00
-- Takes about 5 minutes and will reboot your unit to charging mode.
2) At this point, you must turn on your device. You won't have much luck doing anything because the GUI is gone, but ADB will continue to work.
- You will need Android SDK
- You will need to have previously set up USB Debugging
- You will need to have previously enabled root for adb
-- Launch adb shell
-- execute: am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN
-- this will prompt you with a GUI to select the app to launch. go in to the settings to issue a factory reset.
3) Voila. On reboot, you are on initial setup screen. You have lost all of your data, but have recovered your device.

But.. every time it wants to connect the phone, the phone randomly disconnects from my pc!
What am i doing wrong!? :\ is there a problem with my pc? Is the device completely fried?
Correction: The phone does not randomly disconnect! It only disconnects when i try to talk to it!
Bump.. anyone?

Hello,
I've tried emergency mode, and then updating for LG Fathom. After the phone goes into "Downloading... Do not unplug!" mode, the update begins but fails at the % 94. It does not complete the updating process and does not reset. I replaced the battery but it still says "Downloading... Do not unplug!" I've tried to update again but the LGMobile Support Tool actually detects it as "Model: VS750, Version: VS750ZV7" and the text box says "The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update." but it still says "Downloading... Do not unplug!"
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Can you expand on your question?
Please explain what you are doing, and at what point you are running into problems.
I don't have time to do a walkthru and I'm on another computer that contains the files and it's VERY late, but the below should get you off to a start:
Are you running the official LG updater LGMobileUpdate.exe? (it sucks)
Did you download the flash file to your hard drive, or are you relying upon the (crappy LGMobileUpdate.exe) official update program that goes online for the flash file? and usually crashes right at the end?
Did you remove the SD card?
Battery fully charged?
Configured USB mode /PC sync mode correctly?
Using the cable that came with the phone?
Have you installed the USB drivers?
IIRC I think these are the ones - Google to find:
LGUSBModemDriver_Eng_WHQL_Ver_4.9.4_All.exe
CRC32: 17CFF6EE
MD5: 18710A96C1B08C9CD91872B746F8A647
SHA-1: C4B85224A36CD317B3FF6BF331E0431C82D1B939
Are you using LG-Utils-0.4.2.zip -from-bhast02_xda-Developers
CRC32: C24F872B
MD5: 97DEDB4437DEBC80CF92B90B93DED0E3
SHA-1: 53AEEBB3E6E2B03A3B45D557A62DF2EE39D44482
Did you put the "Official" LG updater and rom flash file in the same directory as the files you extracted from LG-Utils-0.4.2.zip?
Did you configure the exe KP500 to run in SP2 mode, full admin rights?
Which OS are you running? and at what SP level?
Running as Admin?

Answered you on Howard Forums- Please follow-up /leave feedback.
RE: LG Fathom VS750 Emergency Download Mode exit
Depress the RESET button located near the micro usb port.
FYI: Run the update tool in XP SP2 compatibility mode, remove SD from slot before flash, make sure battery is fully charged... and use LG-Utils-0.4.2 to point the updater to local file on hard drive for best results. (Put LGMobileUpdate.exe, B2CAppSetup.exe in same folder you extracted LG-Utils-0.4.2 to.)
VS750 USB drivers (I think): LGUSBModemDriver_Eng_WHQL_Ver_4.9.4_All.exe
PS: VS750ZV5_06.SV5_06.P58006.R5.cab with the addition of SPB SHELL 3.5.5 or some other launcher /shell gives you more customization options.
Far more than V7 does (V7 appears to be running a OEM version of SPB Shell)
V7 = Causes the Mute incoming call ringer app to crash. When the phone is ringing if the vol up/down key is depressed it crashes. Ringer does not mute....

I have done as per the above, its just stuck in the down load mode.

I can see many people got stuck in "Downloading... Do not unplug!" mode on LG fathom VS750,
while updating or after an update is over,, and i am one of them now.
My vs750 was unstable so tried updating it to v7 through KP500 LG Utilis - 0.4.2-N
but end of update,, phone got hung didnt reboot n since then it got stuck in emergency mode forever.
basically the phone doesnt reboot to windows leaving the "Downloading... Do not unplug" screen
tried almost everything even removed the phones main hardware board CMOS cell to clear RAM ROM,, but no luck!
Disabled modem in device manager then re-flashed various BIN files in emergency mode using LGNPST 1.2 Lab version,, flashing done 100% but phone never reboots to windows,, real strange piece of ****!
HTCs are much more stable and reluctant from such unwanted disasters when someone is least expecting them.
if any one has tried anything different or got a fix from LG customer care,, please share.
Thnx in advance!

I have same problem with my phone please tell me if u have got any solution
Do not directly download the ROM from website.
First download it from LG site, then flash it.
Hi everyone, first, this is my first post, new to the forums, at least as a registered user. I have a problem with my phone. I know most of you are wondering why I have not just read the other posts on the forums, but I have. I have attempted every solution to the problem posted previously.
Background: Phone: Samsung charge.
I was being impatient and did not want to wait for the gingerbread update form Verizon. I flashed the leaked gingerbread 2.3.4 onto my phone using odin. Everything went great. I was able to use my phone with no problems except shortened battery life, but nothing major. About a month ago the battery life was impossible to maintain and there were some software bugs, like clicks during calls, startup taking forever, around 2 minutes on average!, and random restarts that never happened before. I decided to look up some fixes and found that verizon and samsung had released GB 2.3.6 for the charge. I got excited and decided I wanted to get that, but I could not via OTA. I read some forum posts and they mentioned attempting a factory reset on the phone then trying OTA update. I went ahead with factory reset and everything went fine. My startup time is around 25 seconds now and no random clicks or gliches, but still not on 2.3.6, which was the whole point. I then decided to just flash the stock 2.3.6 rom to the phone.
Problem: When I plug my phone in to multiple computers it will charge but not connect to the computer. This means on my Mac it does not show as an external drive, which it has in the past. On my windows 7 machine it says that drivers were installed but could not be used (I can get the exact quote if needed.) I attempted to go into device manager and solve problem that way but it shows my phone as "unknown device". I have tried to enter download mode when hooked up to windows computers and no connection is found.
Possible solutions attempted and their outcomes:
1. As stated, I attempted the method shown in a thread on droid forums for installing the samsung drivers. I have attempted multiple times to install the drivers on my windows machine and the device remains "unknown".
2. I have attempted multiple cables on multiple computers, both mac and windows 7. No change.
3. I have installed adb and attempted to locate devices using adb devices command on mac. No devices found.
4. I have attempted all methods with both usb debugging checked and unchecked.
5. I have tried every possible usb port I have.
Ideas/questions I have had that I have no idea are possible or how to fix!
Would a factory reset take away the ability to connect to a computer from my phone. So, is there a piece of software in the build I have that controls the connection between the computer and the phone, an identifier of sorts, which is now missing, now that I have reset the leaked ROM.
Is there a way to flash a new ROM without connecting to a computer, via the sd card, and what is that? I have read some things in other posts but am too much of a n00b to understand most of them when using sdcards.
ANY help will be greatly appreciated. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! I have been at this for at least 6 hours, sifting through forums, searching google, attempting fixes that others have stated worked for them, only to fail every time. Thank you all.
i've had a few issues with this on my Droid Pro. with windows connection a connection assistant came up with some options that I was able to get it to work as a drive.
Getting it to work with adb is another issue alone. The phone needs to be in "debug" mode. I would search for a tutorial on this because you need to edit files on the computer.
for example on my windows I needed to edit one set of files, while on my linux I had to edit another set of things.
I leave my phone in debug mode because i use it for my android app dev on both computers. try that and see if it shows up on your mac.

Gingerbread update - connection problems
Hey guys, I'm new here and just figured out there's an update for my phone (gingerbread)... Anyways, I've attempted to update my phone, but I've run into a problem. I've been following the steps here from AT&T's website /esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB413936&cv=821#fbid=OhFxMmC2FtH, but I'll lay out what I've been doing for you here, just to make sure I've been doing it right.
1. Install Pantech Upgrade tool on my PC (Windows 8.1 x64)
2. Remove and re-install battery on my phone (not connected to computer at this point so it turns off)
3. Hold down "volume up," "home," and "power buttons to enter "S/W Upgrading" mode
4. Start Pantech Upgrade tool on the computer
5. Connect phone to computer via micro-usb
6. Attempt to connect phone...
#6 is where I have troubles. I believe I've followed all the requisite steps to set the phone up in the right mode, but for some reason the computer won't recognize the device. I've waited 2-3 minutes while plugged in (and set up) and re-tried the connection, but to no avail. I've reset the phone to factory (backed it up first of course) but that didn't seem to help either. Restarting the computer did nothing.
What should I do? Thanks ahead of time
drivers

Hi I got a problem with my phone. after years of struggling wanting to upgrade it I finally could but deeply regret it. it seems the google play services are so bloated that they take over half the available storage space, not to mention the play store doesn't work (white screen) after it upgrades.
so my question is, is there any way to either downgrade the OS back or prevent the play services and store from upgrading? the defaults seem to work just fine. I dont care about using google's upgraded apps.
alternatively fixing the new play store white screen. I can only get it back to work if I uninstall the upgrades.
Hi, first time i am sorry for my bad english.
I have problem with my LG optimus ONE P500. I want to root this phone, so i used manual from link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15217609&postcount=3
First step, I enabled debubing mode in my phone settings and I connected this phone to notebook over USB cable. I followed steps from manual. After click Download button in LGMDP, phone reboot to emergency mode (green screen) and start. LGMDP recovered and restored NV2 backup and then started upload modificate NV2 to photo (with text something like - burning, but I not sure). After 20 min LGMDP show text: TIMEOUT. Next step I wait a few minutes and disconnected my phone from notebook and manualy rebooted him. If I turn on my phone, Android OS started and worked normaly.
Next step I turn off my phone and use three-button combinatio (home + vol down + power) and phone booted to „fastboot“ mode with text:
Fastboot mode started
udc_start()

Click to collapse
After connection phone to notebook, display show next lines:
-- suspens --
-- reset --
-- portchange --

fastboot: processing commands

Click to collapse
I can´t turn on phone normaly. So I searched manual how to revive a bricked P500 on fastboot mode (link on manual http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088046)
But when i write command in windows command line „fastboot erase recovery“ i get message < waiting for device >
Now I trying find and instal a lot of drivers for P500. Windows device manager normal show connected device under Android Phone - USB Modem Phone ADB port. I used LGMobile Support Tool for download driver too. I tried Windows XP and Windows 7, but the same problem. Command line still show <wainting for device>.
I don´t know how to deal problem with communication between phone and notebook. I spend 10 hours with searching how to solve this problem, but all attempts have failed.
Please can you help me?

Phone :- LG Optimus One
Current ROM :- Paranoid Android 2.52 by ByteCode
Hi,
So, I've got an MTN Steppa phone (It's a phone made in South Africa). I rooted it, disabled the boot animation and now the phone is soft-bricked. It doesn't go past the lock screen. It locks up. I can go past the lock screen if I'm quick enough but it still continues to lock up (the phone freezes, not responding). Then it reboots after a minute.
Is there any way to re-enable the boot animation with ADB? Or anything to fix this? The phone doesn't have drivers, by the way. So maybe ADB or any computer program is out of the question...
Phone OS;
*Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread
Thanks in advance.
Drivers and rooting.
I noticed the drivers are stored on the device in a separate partition when connected via USB, but to get ADB to recognise it you have to add it's vendor id to your adb_usb.ini file after installing the drivers.
But I'd like to find out how you got it rooted? I've been looking all over and found no info about rooting.

I see. Well, I'll see if I can get ADB to recognize it that way. Though, I ended up sending the phone to MTN for them to fix it.
And about the rooting, I used Pro Myanmar root -- a rooting application for Android devices made in china. You can just google it and you'll find it. (It's in chinese and a bit of english. But it's easy to understand how to use the app).
Hi , mine does the same...did they fix it? Did they charge u?
