Hey guys,
I got a little problem here and would appreciate any help. As you might have guessed from the title I have an Optimus One here that won't boot. It is stuck on LG logo screen. The phone is not mine but my father-in-law's and I told him I would have a look since his warranty is already void. He told me that he turned it off because it was gettin really slow (and he does that from time to time to clear memory) and as he wanted to turn it on again, it was stuck on LG logo. And has been since. I can still access emergency mode though, but that's it!
Now, I know that there are a lot of threads that treat this problem but in every one of these threads people solve the problem by flashing a stock ROM via KDZ. And that doesn't work for me. It just won't go through with the whole process. I'm flashing in emergency mode and always at some point you hear the sound indicating that a USB device has been unplugged and it starts to boot (I don't know if it is supposed to cause I've never had one of these phones in my hand that was working properly, only this broken one) but obviously gets stuck at LG logo. After a while I get an error from KDZ and thats it.
I also tried with LGMDP, which didn't work either. And obviously I tried a hard-reset, which didn't do anything.
I really don't know what to do with that stupid thing. But I am 100% convinced that it can be revived because emergency mode is still accessable.
Can any of you guys help me? Would be much appreciated!!
Cheers
Hard reset!! again...mb try to flash CWM and wipe data/cache/dalvik
Hard-Reset doesn't work. Just leaves me at the lg logo again. How do you flash CWM? You mean with LGDMP?
tried it, didn't do anything. Thanks for the effort though...
No. KDZ
I`ve broken CWM and killed my O1. And just flash CWM via KDZ and reflesh ROM. It helps me
@ElZeck, when you are flashing with KDZ, what is the error that you get? Also, what is the operating system on your computer? I think I had trouble using KDZ on Windows 7/8, but Windows XP worked just fine. Maybe you might want to try using KDZ on a different computer.
Hey guys, thanks for your replies!
@Kill4File: How do you flash CWM with KDZ? I tried with LGMDP but I wouldn't know what file I would need to do so with KDZ. Can you supply the file?
@sweetnsour: I don't recall the error exactly. I know it ran through parameters until 100 twice and then it got stuck at sth. like wPrm 8. That sound familiar to you? OS is Windows 7.
Just download a recovery like cwm or twrp, then extract the .img file and flash that through lgmdp.
Edit : if you start your phone what happens?

Thanks for your reply, TheAndroidGeek, I already did that und it didn't change anything. When I start the phone, the LG logo pops up and that's it.

I remember my friend bricking his LG Mytouch, so I tried to help him out with KDZ. I believe you got a similar error (and he was also using Windows 7). I think looking for a different computer to use KDZ on might be the key, especially if you find a Windows XP computer. Basically Windows 7 caused trouble for my friend and me, and Windows 8 wasn't any better. My old XP desktop got the job done though.
This is what I do when I use KDZ (don't miss the words in bold):
1. Manually boot your phone into emergency mode, with emphasis on manually. To do so, hold Back + Vol Up + Power.
2. Plug the cable into the computer first, and then the other end into the phone, in that order. I know some people are used to plugging the cable into the phone first and then into the computer, but sometimes (at least when the phone is normally booted) the computer doesn't detect the phone.
2a. Just making sure, I assume that since your computer at least began the KDZ flash, you already have the drivers for your phone. If you do decide to try it on a different computer, remember to install the drivers (reasons on why I use Windows XP in the next step). Also, don't forget to disable the LGE Modem in Device Manager.
3. Open KDZ. I don't know why KDZ causes issues for me on Windows 7/8, but on those two operating systems, I get some sort of "compatibility issues." Also, KDZ likes to crash in the middle of a flash. Never had any of those issue in Windows XP (no crashes, and I believe KDZ was built for XP anyway since there aren't any compatibility issues).
4. Make sure you have it set to 3GQCT and DIAG. (If KDZ fails to flash, try the different options under PHONEMODE and also try shaking your phone during the flashing process). Browse to your KDZ file.
5. Begin the flashing process. No matter what happens on your phone (it reboots, makes noises, etc) don't remove the cable until KDZ reads "FINISHED".
6. If the phone fails to boot properly (stuck on bootanimation even though it flashed properly), yank the battery, and hold Home + Vol Down + Power. This will begin a hard reset.
If this is what you've been doing on Windows 7 and it still fails, I highly recommend using Windows XP.
Hopefully that helps

Unfortunately, I can't! Only emergency mode is accessable. Anything else (recovery, hard reset,...) leads to LG logo screen.
@sweetnsour: thanks for the detailed description but unfortunately that is exactly what I've been doing...
But there is one silver lining: I didn't try Win XP yet. I'll keep you updated...

I had this. I took out the battery, replaced it and then plugged into the USB. Got charging screen. From there, adb reboot recovery, restored a backup, and got back up and running (assume you have a usable backup available).
Here is a way to revive your phone
If you can enter recovery mode,your phone is revibable.You can install CyanogenMod 7 Android 2.3.7.
First,you need to download CM7 ROM.
Then download Google Apps.
After you download these files,put your sdcard in other phone,then connect to computer via USB cable.
Transfer the downloaded zip files to sdcard.
Insert your sdcard in your LG Optimus One.
Put your phone into recovery mode(ClockWorkMod recovery is required).
Use Volume buttons to navigate and Menu/Search key to select.
From the main menu,select mounts and storage>format/system.
Also select format/data and format/cache.
Go to main menu and select wipe data/factory reset>yes.
Now,select install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard and select downloaded zip
Also,install Google Apps.
Reboot your phone.
You'll see the LG logo,Don't Panic!Wait a few seconds,and the CM boot animation will appear.
First boot takes some long time to install updates.
You're done!
My phone is very slow. Apps like text messages or even opening the app drawer takes 2-5 seconds. It wasn't like this when I got the phone. I RARELY use the phone at all because it's so slow. I use it mainly as an mp3 player, not a phone.
I uninstalled Go Launcher to see if that would help, nope.
I only have like 15 apps, uninstalled half of them, did not help.
So I tried rooting to test something like Cyanogen mod Nightly 10 to see if it would speed up and remove bloatware.
Rooted with Mega_Tron Windows. Took 10 minutes because the phone takes so long to reboot.
Get on rom manager and flash with the SPECIFIC LG O3D tool, not rom manager. Make back up.
Install Cyanogen mod.
What happens? Cyanogen mod spinning ball of death for 2 minutes then phone turns off.
LG screen get stuck. Not able to go to recovery.
So I have to use LG Mobile tool to reset the phone back to Gingerbread stock. Reinstall Rom Manager, GO back to my backup and try again.
What happens this time?
Spinning Cyanogen death ball. This time is actually makes it to the welcome screen. Then I click the app drawer and the phone turns off.
Stuck at LG screen. Can't enter recovery.
So now I must repeat the process for the 9th time. Yes 9 times, although I only typed here that I did it twice I have spent nearly 7 hours trying to get this working.
Please recommend a mod that won't fail like Cyanogen and will hopefully improve the speed off my phone.
My phone specifically is the LG Thrill 4g AKA LG Optimus 3D.
Rogers carrier, Gingerbread stock, v20c base band dec 2011.

you have to install wkpark 1.25a in order to use the cm10 roms............flash the attached files in recovery in order to make it work
follow these steps
(i recommand to refer xbsall thread and install his large partation bin file which comes pre-rooted and with twrp recovery)
1. install official ICS bin file from lg flashtool if you dont have
2. then flash the attlached file in recovery
3. after rebooting flash any rom that you want........it will work for you
Don't Forget To Press Thanks If I Have Helped
right now I can't even get to the main screen.
I recovered to Gingerbread with LG mobile tool and it just keeps looping at the rogers screen.
this is worse than before I need my phone working again.
just follow the instructions posted above by ptlsajan and you'll be allright.
You don't need to get to the homescreen to recover the phone, you should recover to an ICS kdz/bin (v28b or 30a) instead of GB, then you fastboot wkparks1.25a bootloader and recovery, and then you can install and boot pretty much any ics/cm10 rom you want.
get ICS, its like a totally new phone

oh yes :good:
What is the LG flash tool? Like I said I cannot even get to the recovery screen.
The LG Mobile Tool / LG recovery tool is useless now. Before I could reset the phone to Gingerbread and it would unroot and go back to normal. Now I cannot get past the Rogers loop screen.
Also when trying the LG Mobile Tool is tried to update to ICS and failed every time.
If it keeps failing do you see SW screen with GREEN dot in the middle?
So you go into download mode by adb(pc) ?
I never saw a green dot.
When the phone screwed up from root. I turned on it while running LG Mobile Tool. When to recovery and entered my S/N.
Then it started the download and update process. It installed Gingerbread and then says 'Continue to update to ICS' or 'Press stop if just want Gingerbread.'
If I tried ICS it would go halfway and say update failed or it would say you already have the latest version, EVEN though it told me there was ICS update.
NOW I CANNOT EVEN USE LG MOBILE TOOL. I am stuck at Rogers loop screen.
Firstly, be sure you use the same DLL as the one on your phone's IMEI ID sticker (for example P925 = P925 DLL), and after flashing the OS, try running fstrim - apparently bad TRIM garbage collection can wreck the phone (happened to me, now after trimming, it's faster). Also, if it doesn't work, get OMAP4 flash utility and remove the battery and plug USB in first then flash new BIOS (there's tutorial on installing the driver for the pesky OMAP4 bootloader), and then flash with LG flash tool as usual (power + volume up).

I am not sure what you are talking about.
I can't use the LG Mobile Tool anymore to go back to Gingerbread.
Where exactly do I start here?
I still need help with this.
I went to the sticky and some of the download links are dead.
The first download link contains a trojan.
I ran it through virustotal which detected it on Symantec and Avast which are good anti-virus. I use avast and scanned it and it detected. I also ran it through a sandbox.
So why am I being told to download viruses?
*sigh* Some rooting tools are false positive so I don't really trust anti-viruses. I use AVAST! anti-virus and ALL anti-virus cannot tell the difference between legit softwares (like Megatron or Super One Click) and nasty viruses. And here's the DLL (this one is from KDZ I extracted for P925).
Superoneclick nor megatron are detected as viruses on my computer.
This one immediately gets blocked after installing.
you sure about that?
The guy could have edited the link since so many people are having problems. could be key logging people right now.
Ah..... Try xbsall's unbrick guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836 and read carefully. I think you will have better chance of unbricking it. And I apologize for the response - what you said made me wonder about previous link so I looked and found another guide - by an obviously experienced ROM developer.

nope also contains a virus it's the exact same file.
It's trying to alter Microsoft C+.
Not taking the chance getting keylogged and my bank information stolen.
I will wait until someone else post's another method to unbrick the phone.
Just use OMAP4 flash utility... -____- It doesn't even alter anything, I use this and other tools plentiful of times - if I was not to use those, my phone would still be bricked. And LG have been keylogging us for a while (look in /system/app - you will find MLT.APK there).

'waiting for OMAP4xx" device doesn't do anything 2 minutes holding volume up.
someone please help I need this phone working tomorrow. It's been dead for 2 days and I have no other way to make calls.
Remove the battery then plug USB in - that's the only way to get the tool to start flashing the BIOS update. When it starts, quickly insert the battery and reboot the phone after it is done. Again, carefully follow the instruction.
After it's done, start up your usual flash tool with volume up and reflash the desired firmware.

I did follow the directions.
There is no OMAP4430 in device manager. I clicked show hidden devices. There is no 'other devices.'
Hold volume up, insert battery and nothing happens.
Hello, today i was updating my O3D to the official ICS when suddenly my crappy dell computer crashed. The flash failed and now the only thing my phone does is vibrate and show the LG logo then within 1 second it shuts off. I tried different ressurection guides and all failed. Even with the LG recovery it doesn't work. It detects my phone as cdma device and flashing works but when i try to start i got the same problem.
Anyone experienced this problem??
Thank you!
have you tried to flash kdzfile?

Aside from hardware damage , which is not likely , O3D is unbrickable.
You're probably not doing it right.
If it gets to the bootloader which is running under that lg logo you speak of , that means it's not totally bricked.
If it just shuts off than that means , it can't load the system partition because it's filesystem is either corrupted or nonexistent.
That's a good sign , that means it's looking for it , and if the bootloader is there , that means it can probably get into download mode without external help.
So , you need to get into download mode and flash a bin rom to your device.
Download LG Flashtool and install the correct drivers listed and linked in the resurrection guide.
Load the dll and the rom to it then press ready.
Use the resurrection guide to get into download mode , you can skip the part "omapboot" to get into download mode if you can get into download mode without it. (Remove the battery press the vol + button and you hear a connected then disconnected , then in the second connected you plug the battery in.) If you installed the drivers correctly it will get into download mode. If it doesn't start over , you probably did something wrong or you need omapboot.
Don't worry i faced a couple of scary and frustrating hours in my first time but you'll get through.
Use the guide for everything you need.
Alternatively , you can always take it to your LG Service Center...
Good Day all.
I have always been following your forum and checking solutions for a long time now. Just love what you guys do.. Been a Tech before with Palm Phones so I know its hard to be a dev but still you guys are awesome...anyways
Now with my Problem. been following a couple of solutions on your forum. xbsall, dreccon dexter...etc. none seems to solve my problem...
well it did once or twice then after that it didnt work no more.. by tomorrow it will be already for a whole week been trying to solve this.
Issue: Power Button stopped working
facts:
- Tried doing the solutions many times over. among those twice the power button worked again. Which I believe the problem lies either with kernels or bootloader
- Current dl firmwares, V20c, V21e, v28b, v30a, V30b, V,20b.
-had used OS-Hacking tool, KDZ updater (which didnt work for me), omap
Smart Flashing tool worked
-Tried LG Software Tool recovery, doesnt work.... stuck at 4% always
- LG P920
So bottom line is.. need help restoring my power button and a good error less way of installing a boot loader....
Any suggestions pls?
Thanks a bunch again
Following a number of solutions and xbsalls resurrection guide probably 50th time I was able to retrieve my power button again. but after backing up in CWM, It stopped working again...
EDIT:: Solved My Problem..
how? I have this same problem

Solution to Power button stop working after flash. (brick, soft,hard)
Hey,
The issue was after flashing probably a wrong rom, and accidentally deleting the whole system,partition and boot, my phone won't charge/turn on anymore. I manage to turn it on or light up using omap4boot (thanks to the maker) but still its only the backlight. tried recovering using v21eboot was able to flash it but power button still not working.. error in device managermomap4boot and can't install drivers.
So you may try these steps that I did, though there's no guarantee...
Follow basically this GUIDEhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836 from xbsall (thanks xbsall)
except the rebooter part.
or
To upgrade or install new rom aswell follow
drastic00's Guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
if it still does not work. which happened to me do this first.
Download SFT (Smart Flash Tool)
Download omap4boot
Download BOOTV21E
Download the stuff on xbsall's guide(except rebooter)
Download Recoveryx3d
First here's what I did
1: uninstall all lg drivers,softwares
2: reboot pc
3: follow xbsall's guide in installing drivers.
4: reboot pc and disable Security settings on your computer (firewall,antivirus etc)
5: run windows enabler
6: run SFT under normal DL erase everything and add the u-boot,x-boot, a-boot from RecoveryX3d
6A - if you cant get to SW mode use omap4boot to get to SW
(I wasn't able to go to normal DL mode so I used this to get to it.)
6B - Flash it or basically click start (after this your phone won't probably turn on or rest still that's ok)
7: Run LG Flash tool / Smart flash tool again and upload/add/choose the BOOTV21e.bin ONLY
7A - Have your phone on SW mode while plugged to the pc
7B - Flash or Click Start (your Phone should restart now after this but usually your power button will still not work)
8: follow the Phone setup, finish the setup and let it install everything meaning just leave your phone on. and wait for about 5-10 mins.
8A - factory reset your phone and follow the phone setup again and leave it as it is for another 5-10 mins
Your Power button should be back working after step 8A. That's how I revived my Power button...
I know its a bit weird but it worked for me.
AGAIN THIS HELPED ME BUT THERE'S NO GUARANTEE!!! DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Hit thanks if you think this is helpful

my lgg2 d801 simply boots into the LG logo screen and stays there til it dies.
I do not know too many technicalities when it comes to adb or ubuntu, in fact i dont even know if those programs go on the phone or the computer through usb..
simple clarifications would make the world of difference to me as my phone is useless now.
I can enter download mode using your "let phone die then try again method" but i dont know what to do from there..

I can confirm that that method worked for my G2. Make sure you press and hold volume up then plug the phone in. Hold volume up till you see the small box saying its in download mode.
The nice thing about this method it doesn't wipe your data.
Make sure you have downloaded the most current drivers first though before you plug in your phone. Then go to options and update recovery.

It worked for you because your partitions were not messed up. I know the procedure for getting into download mode, I tell you that it no longer works. Volume up while plugging usb in now gets me a battery charging icon . When you have a rooted phone running 4.4.2 and apply OTA update, it screws the partitions up.

It worked for you because your partitions were not messed up. I know the procedure for getting into download mode, I tell you that it no longer works. Volume up while plugging usb in now gets me a battery charging icon . When you have a rooted phone running 4.4.2 and apply OTA update, it screws the partitions up.

I had a similar problem with my T-Mobile LG G2 where I was rooted and accepted an OTA. It broke root and I couldn't get IOroot or Stumproot to work. Went to flash a downgrade and found the phone wouldn't go into download mode. It was NOT bricked. I finally tried playing around with the LG Mobile Support Tool (B2CAppSetup.exe). Of course it detected that my phone already had the latest firmware from T-Mobile, but then I clicked Options>Upgrade Recovery.
It downloaded for a while then I noticed it had put my phone into download mode (it said "Rooted" in red letters at the bottom). Then it flashed the same firmware over and I immediately tested, it entered download mode right away. But I didn't end up needing that as Stumproot was able to brute force it now after the recovery flash.
Anyway, I couldn't find an answer anywhere else. Most results also have a bricked phone, but that wasn't my issue. This solved my problem and maybe it could work for others.

Seems like its possible to get into download mode. I don't know, maybe yours is just different.

mine is not different, just corrupted. Even took it to a craigslist repairman. He said that he did not have the expertise to repair it. It can't be put in recovery, download or fastboot mode. It also can't be rerooted.
ill ready repaired one equal but need it "octoplus box sw" for it
