p920 brick on firmware update screen

Hi,I have my optimus 3d lock on firmware update screen.I try to flash kdz 10b and 10d,but the phone don't boot,it show always the same screen.why?how I can resolve it?
Thank-you and sorry for my bad English.
For now it's impossible to get past that screen many tried but non succeeded so far. If you are in Belgium or the Netherlands you can register your phone for VIP support and get it replaced within 24h if you're lucky

At the moment no, maybe that someone can find out a way to reset the phone.
But for now it will stay in the firmware update screen until you send it to LG support.

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 seconds, run LG mobile update connect battery and usb cable hold power and volume up hold it for 10 seconds let go then do it again for 10 seconds LG update should say phones connected if not do it again
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
Hi,first of hole thanks for the reply..I try this solution,but when the update finished the phone stay freeze on the same update screen again.. there is any test that I can try?
Thank-you

I've done it twice, clearly not doing it right
Then post a step by step manual on how you got your phone out of the software update screen. A lot of people would like to see that.

Sounds to me like you guys got a bad download. Not sure but if you know how to flash back to honeycomb i would give that a try and then redownload the update.
To flash back to honeycomb download your proper region from here
http://www.asus.com/Eee/Eee_Pad/Eee_Pad_Transformer_TF101/#download
Then UNZIP the zip file that came from asus
Copy the asus/update/ww-epad-user8.6.5.21.zip file to your microSD
Copy the ww-epad-user8.6.5.21 file to the root of your microSD
Rename the file to EP101-SDUPDATE.zip. (this is case sensitive must be caps)
Reboot to recovery by pressing vol down and power while the tab is off
When you see the text press vol up
Edit : if this works it should bring you back to honeycomb. This is also assuming you cannot get into clockworkmod.

I have the same problem, turning the TF101 off.
After a while when I look at it, its hanging on the boot screen and the circle is not spinning.
A reboot helps.
Could it be one of my news reader News360, Puls or a app like email, Friendfinder or Overlook Wiz?
These apps are always active and synch themselves at given times.
I have a few browser shortcuts. In a folder on my homescreen, after a crash like this, the shortcut icons are replaced with green android icons.

It is not a case of bad downloads. CWM or OTA, it doesn't matter, my TF is random rebooting on ICS. Honeycomb runs just fine. My report is consistent with that of other people. There IS a problem with the update, but it seems to only affect some units.

i don't think is a bad download , 2 day straight after the update i had no problems ... now on 24 hours i had 3 reboot , 1 time hang at the Asus logo and 1 time my tf went into a some kind of bootloop ... after the download of ics update is a check file verification before the start .
so i think the problem is in ICS or a combination of ICS + some packages or some problem in kernel .

No problems for me too. Chrome is awesome. Not had one fc or random reboot.

How many who have had reboots logged into g+ app?
Had been using this heavily without issues till I signed into g+. Soon after I signed in and turned off screen it rebooted and stuck at Asus screen. Held power till it restated wiped data from g+ (and never logged back in) and it hasn't happened again so far. It might be a far cry to what may be causing reboots. But I didn't have any problems till then. And I don't seem to have them now, battery is good if not better, I love it just hope it doesn't reboot again.

I agree with you, i notice one thing, battery in ICS is better then honeycomb, but after this problem it start drain faster, i don't know why, in battery settin i see "active", what is it?
As you can see, sometimes wifi is off, display is off, tab is in standby but "attivo" in english active, is still running

B50 US TF, Wipe after update.
I have just suffered the boot loop. I had to push vol- and power to get into recovery. Once there I powered off, then on again, and everything went back to normal.
I don't beleive it has something to be with the dl. There's something wrong...

The battery was drain because the screen was on at asus logo for an hour or so and went from 76% to 34%. I don't think is a battery issue with ics, just freezing at one point with screen on.

It's definitely in the update, most probably the kernel, since the bug is triggered when the device enters the deep sleep state. And probably not an app, because even after a wipe and NOT configuring a Google Account, the problem persists.

I have a stock B50 which updated successfully, no reboots or power drain issues. Make sure the tab is fully charged and plugged in to the charger before updating, it takes a long time so be patient. When it's done, it will beep and show the lockscreen. I hope the root is not causing the problem.
Same problem here, had a boot loop a day or two ago just as described in the first post. No need to go to recovery, just held the power button in until the tablet switched off, then waited a few seconds, and powered back on. I hadn't shut it down before the issue started, though, it just spontaneously rebooted and got stuck in the boot loop by itself when I wasn't around. No idea how long it had been going when my wife found it.
Spontaneous reboots were *very* rare for me on Honeycomb, and I never saw a boot loop before at all
I'm on a stock, unrooted US-market TF101-B1, and wiped both before and after installing ICS. Barely any programs had been added to the stock install when the boot loop happened...
My wife's did this today. Never rooted, it got the OTA update to ICS yesterday with no factory reset, and had been running flawlessly until the bootloop this morning. I held the power button until it reset, its been fine since. It happened exactly as described in the OP. Something is broken in the ICS ROM.

Bricked my One S

Not sure if it's a soft or hard brick, because the darn thing does not turn on at all.
When plugged into the computer, my computer makes the sound when a new device is plugged in and then continuously makes the sound when a device is removed.
Can't turn on phone, so can't get into bootloader or recovery.
Here is what I did:
Ran trickdroid TMOUS 4.0 for about a week no problems.
Just now installed MDJ's new kernel(plus the necessary script and modules), and updated radio(yes, the US radio).
Everything went well, I disabled smokin1337's scripts, and instead enabled setcpu with fairly conservative settings (only maxed at 1.5 Ghz, a screen off profile and a battery percentage profile).
Decided to reboot to ensure changes would stick and BAM! Brick.
I am going to call warranty and get a new one soon. In the meantime, I am going to leave the phone completely off charger and when the weekend is over, try to plug it in and boot into recovery and start from scratch. If anybody has any ideas to try, let's hear them.
Also, I've rooted many many many phones before. I'm not a noob to android modding, and I'm 100% positive I didn't eff something up. I've rooted and installed trickdroid on my sister and my dad's phone too, no problems. They do not have the kernel or the radio.
Must have installed wrong radio which could be perminant brick don't take my word for it though wait for a developer

I guess so. I just checked the radio files, and they are the same name. I don't have an md5 to check it against though. Bummer

Try holding the power button for 10 seconds, you will see the capacative lights flash, let go and quickly hold vol down, while holding vol down press the power button. If that boots into the bootloader, we can bring you back.
Is adb working when pluged in?

There's a guide in the dev section on how to adb push a Rom to the sdcard
Sent from my HTC One S using Tapatalk 2
To format the sdcard flash the stock recovery via fastboot and format the sdcard in the bootloader menu then flash a custom recovery and mount the sdcard via usb or push a zip via adb.

Thanks for the replies, folks, but let me reiterate again that I CANNOT get into boot loader. It does not power on, no splash screen, no boot up, nothing. I'm assuming the worst, that I either somehow screwed the radio flash or got a bad download of the radio or something. Seems highly unlikely to me, especially since I was able to boot and go through normal operations for a little bit before deciding to reboot. That's the way it is I suppose.
Also, to answer another user's question, the phone does not respond to adb. If anyone else has an idea, I'm willing to try anything. But to repeat, I cannot get to boot loader.

Does fastboot reboot or fastboot reboot bootloader do anything? Also if you need a real hard reset find the youtube videos that show how to replace the display and disconnect the battery.
Can u get out of a full brick ?

Okay, finally some good news. I took the phone to the t-mobile store with intention of getting it replaced. While there, the phone magically turned on, but couldn't get past the lock screen. I was a little worried he would say something because of the custom splash screen, but he didn't notice that or the bootloader screen saying "tampered". And didn't say anything when he got to the TWRP screen. I immediately grabbed it and said "I cant take it from here". Now, the phone is working, but the SD card can't be mounted. So I plugged it into my computer and reformatted the SD card. Going to try flashing now.
To answer a couple questions, the phone had about a 90% charge.
Fastboot is a no go, because the phone *did* not turn on and did not answer to adb.
long story short, I believe I had some kind of data corruption on the SD card. Not sure how/why or what fixed it. I've just gotten done adding another ROM to the SD card, and i'm going to reflash and report back. Thank you all for your help.
Any update?
I'm experiencing a similar problem. I didn't fully brick my phone. Just went into a soft brick. Flashed MIUI, but decided I wanted to go back to stock, so I tried to factory reset. Now my SD card cannot be mounted and none of the ROMs I try to flash via Fastboot are going through. I'm stuck on MIUI with no SD card mount.

Stuck on installing system updates

Hi guys, I really need someone to help me. I was going to perform an hard reset through recovery on a Samsung s8 plus, but as soon as I pressed the 3 button combo it has started to boot over and over again. It basically shows the Samsung logo then a blue screen saying installing system updates but instead of going into recovery mode it does the same all over again. I can access download mode but I don't know where go find the right firmware. Also I can't turn it off so I'm basically stuck into download mode and I don't even know if it gets charged this way...
