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!
Oscar

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 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.

Okay after a couple of PC restarts I got a new Android ICS Flash on it but after a few minutes phone shut down every time -.-

Yepp, but I just killed all driver completly made 3 restarts then, after I installed all driver from the tutorials new killed some other device driver from optional hardware and killed the Texas Instrument driver. After that I tried again and I directly tranfered the ICS ROM but have now the problem that I cant get it Rooted and dont can change baseband I tried to flash but its still the old one... So my SIM-Card isnt accepted by my phone in ICS and I try to download the official bin again (sigh) and update to ICS if the baseband problem will be fixed. Thanks for helping me and spending me new courage
After I tried to reinstall the original kdz firtsty I got LG Logo - turn off - lg logo - turn off... loop then I tried to install it agai... now phone stays off. Didnt get any reaction out of it... any clues ?
I've looked at the similar threads , to be honest even if one of the suggestions might work , none of the people seem to have the same problem from my understanding.
So apologize ahead of time as i imagine someone has bricked in a similar fashion in some thread buried somewhere.
But have an unlocked P925g lg optimus 3d, got a few days ago.
Last night i rooted just fine , root checker says it was rooted properly.
Then i installed rom manager as i was following manbearpigs post.
When i got to flash clockwork mod , i clicked the button and it looked like it was doing some flashing , but the phone turned off to reboot??
and now when i power on the lg logo appears and then the screen goes funny.
If i try to hold the power down and 3d button , i get a green screen . However i'm very unsure of what to do next.
However when i plug into usb the phone goes black , refuses to turn back on until i take the battery out.
I'd pay someone here if i could , but i'll take any help i can get.
Appreciate any help.
I don't KNOW, but just an idea:
May be your phone is stuck in download mode?
With this latest ICS (original, not ported) my phone shows black screen when in download mode (no message SW UPDATE and something in Korean).
Did you try to plug your phone to PC? Does your comp see it?
From what I read flashing wrong CWM might cause problems...
Also try to read Ressurection thread by xbsa, it helped me couple times
Don't give up!

just try the LG flash tool to flash without reinstalling drivers, if it doesn't flash you have to uninstall all LG drivers, reboot your computer, install again LG drivers and flash Bin files using Flash tool, you don't have to flash Bin and fls files at the same time, first Bin file, if there is no network close LG flash, open it again and flash Fls at second time to get the right baseband (sometimes it not necessery to flash this fls files)
or just follow this guide

To get to download mode you need to keep battery in, remove sim and SD card. Hold vol+ and plug USB cable. You should see message SW UPDATE and some Korean. My phone now doesn't show it, just blank screen. But LG Flash sees it and u can flash bin fls.

Remove drivers and use the LGMobile Support Tool to install the drivers, if your phone is connected it should detect it and finish the install process. I believe the P925G is a Rogers device? You might have to select Rogers as your carrier to find the drivers.

ok so i've deleted all lg related material from my computer, when i connected the phone to the computer with battery in , nothing happens.
Without battery , it detects automatically , then it continues a loop of picking it up and dropping off .
So i moved to my laptop , attempted to follow the guide kupuku posted, however after getting the went logo on the phone , it never gets past that stage no matter what i do.
I've also tried LG support tool , it doesn't detect my phone on either my computer or laptop , even after installing/reinstalling the proper drivers.
LG does have a live chat which isn't open and the phone number can not be reached from my area.. i imagine its a 1800 number for asia or something as i do live in Canada.
My only other choice is to take the phone down to a guy that can get it out of boot loop for close to what i paided for the phone a few days ago.
Least to say , that option is something i want to do , nor can i afford to do.
once again i apprecaite the help that has been given , and for any that will be given.
edit:
Ok so i got lg mobile support to work by doing recovery and entering my imei number. Its currently at 4% but its been close to an hour and a half. Might restart and see if that works , but my phone is doing the logo boot repeat pattern still , even during this update. so not sure what exactly is happening.
Purpose:
Restore LG Intuition VS-950 to Factory after Brick
Reason:
After Rooting if something got messed up you will get the "Security Error" or "Morning Call Failure" preventing Boot
I assume from what I have read on XDA and other sites that this is due to VZW software that prevents tampering with OEM setup
And If my wife found out that I messed up the brand new phone she just got me yesterday, yes yesterday, she would kill me.
Here it is!!
Files Needed [included]
Drivers: LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.11.0.exe
LGmobile Support Tool (LGMST) : KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip
TIP:Save Everything to the same Folder
Steps
1. Install Diver set LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.11.0.exe
2. Unzip LGmobile Support Tool KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip
3. Go to folder that the ZIP file created and install KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
4. Open LGMobile Support Tool - It will say not connected
5. Grab BRICKED phone and Press Vol UP + Vol DOWN then insert USB that is plugged into computer
6. LGMST will now show "Phone Connected"
7. Click on Customer Support then Recovery Phone
8. Click Check IMEI
9. Click OK
10. WAIT for LGMST to do its thing. It will seem like nothing is going on, but be patient!
11. Software will now do some Analysis and begin Downloading software
12. LG VS-950 Firmware size 856mb! will save to c:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone if you want to save it
13. Software will now start Decompressing download
14. Flashing begins after decompress and you will see estimated time left
15. Towards end of flashing phone will reboot and come back to life! yea baby yea!!
Entire process took me about 45 minutes
Hey, I think the LG support tool has updated... Screenshots look different from what I'm looking at, and the program hangs on 'downloading' without ever actually starting. I'm in desperate need of a way to repair this unloved phone.
Any updated direction?
As for how to do this? Or if it has changed?

Hello guys,
This is my first post so I would like to say hello and thanks to everyone who contributes to the forum.
I have the LG Optimus 3D (P920) currently on the version below. I have had terrible problems with ghost calls and battery being drained extremely quickly when using 3G connectivity. To get around these problems I have been using 2G since 2011 when I upgraded the software via LG website.
My question is could somebody please advise me of a stable ROM I can use to upgrade from the below version and instructions on how to install it?, any help would be greatly appreciated. I've looked at ROMS but there are so many different ones I don't know which one would be suitable to upgrade from my current version.
Official LG ROM
Android ver 2.3.5
Baseband ver L620_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Build GRJ90
Software Version LGP920-V20a-NOV-30-2011

You really need to update to ICS. You can get official upgrade via lg software update using LG pcsuite, or you can do it by following the guide listed in the forum.There are quite a few but this one is good.

Hi Keith210350,
Thanks for your reply and help. I have tried he official LG update via pcsuite, it tells me there is an update then when I try to update its gets about 40% through analysing pc settings then bombs out saying I am already at the latest software version.
I am trying to flash the ROM you mentioned all goes well until I get to the flash tool, I can select the .dll and .bin files then progress to the next step where I press the arrow start button but it doesn't seem to select the port or say ready but my phone shows a grey circle with two green arrows in it then some writing that starts with S/W then chinese writing, at this point I'm not sure if its updating or not any ideas?
BTW I'm using Win 7 Pro 64Bit

Check driver install carefully, all details. If that is not correct, flash will not proceed as described. The S/W means your phone is in download mode.
You should be seeing a progress bar going from 0% to 100% (for the .bin).
Also, if you still have drivers on your pc from when you tried update tool, they will conflict with the ones from the guide.

Hi Drastic00,
Thanks very much for replying, by the way your instructons are greatly appreciated for noobs like me! I managed to get the LGflashtool into saying ready and my phone with the S/W screen but it doesn't appear to be updating no progress bar either on the phone or LGflashtool, the lGflashtool just sits at ready. Tried connecting phone holding volume up connecting cable then battery and the other way around as per instructions but still the tool sits at ready. The only bit regarding drivers I struggled with is USB controller it was LGE composit slightly different name to te insructions, also there wan't any port option to change the COM port number to COM41? could this be a reason why LGflashtool wont connect to my phone?
One thing when my phone reboots in the top left corner I get text that says Booti mmc_read 0x4c0e60 not sure what this is could it be something to do with that stopping it updating?
Best Regards

OYes, it should show up exactly as written. FT will not work unless all that is correct. You probably have LG drivers left from before conflicting with the ones from the guide. Uninstall all things LG, restart pc and reinstall drivers and again restart pc. Read all carefully.
Do all this signed onto pc as admin.

Dear chimaera500,
I think it is a problem of OMPA drivers or LGE Mobile USB serial port selection.
attached guide and files may help you.
YEEE HAAA...it's done!
Managed to flash my phone but slightly different to the instructions, installed drivers as per instructions but still the flashtool just stayed at ready and wouldn't connect. I didn't get the LG port settings to appear and couldn't change the COM port COM41 so I carried on, connected the phone with battery (without holding the volume up button) and then the drivers started installing again and I could see the LG com port and I was able change the settings to COM41 disconnected phone and connected again holding the volume up and the ROM started flashing! did the same for the baseband flash and that worked.
My phone is great now, it's like a new phone now and even connects properly to my car phone kit and downloads the phone book!
Many thanks to Drastic00 and SL_Nuwan for your help and advice keep up the good work!
Many thanks
Chimaera500
Yes, you have to disconnect the phone from pc and connect it again for the LG drivers to install.

You probably didnt understand me well.. I cant put it in any mode...it wont turn on on any condition..
You said you rebooted twice, that tells me the device powers on, therefore, by doing a battery pull, holding the recovery or download mode button combos and powering up should get you into the desired mode. IF its not powering on at all:
1. Try charging the battery externally and try again.
2. See if the device is being recognized by a pc, if so there is hope that resting the device and trying again may work or we can see what mode it is in via adb/fastboot to get the device into a recoverable mode.
So....

The computer recognizes my device as qualcomm 9008
I have the same problem. My phone is dead only shows Qualcomm 9008.
Silly... If it's not for your phone why would you flash it??? Might have to wait for the official kdz from lg assuming you can some how get it into download mode. Or simply use your insurance for a new device. Expensive lesson learned
Maybe you can try the lg mobile support tool, since a tot file is available LG may have the stock kdz file available now, so try the recovery option for the mobile support tool.
Pretty sure that Qualcomm message thing is the true hard brick...
Sent from my pretty nifty brand new LG V10
This might sound stupid and it is usually for devices which have problems turning on or similar. I think is better to try anything that not trying all the options.
Why dont you try removing the battery, then close the module part without the battery. Press and hold the power button for at least 30 seconds. then release it. then put the batttery back on and try to make it boot into download mode. Chances are slim but the chance still there. This worked with my Samsung galaxy s5 after i flashed a rom that claimed to be for all models including the tmobile version when it clearly was for the g900f version . and i decided to try what i have done with other types of electronics and it worked.
Just tried on my phone. No go. Still dead. Trying lg repair. Hope I can get it fixed and not cost a arm and a leg.
Here is a guide to recover from 9008 mode
Here is a tool to extract kdz from tot
I've not read through these all the way, but if the PC sees it at all, it's not truly bricked... It might just be a pain in the ... to get it fixed. Those 2 links are good starting points for you. I hope you get this resolved.
I have the same error... My LG g5 H860 no turn on only connect in the PC on mode Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9800.
Any idea or solution to resolve this?
