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 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.
OK, to be fair I don't know whether to blame LG or Microsoft, but in the middle of upgrading my G2X it looks as if the crappy Windows drivers quit talking to the phone.
The LG software instructed me to do a battery pull and try again, but the result is the phone is now stuck in "S/W Upgrade" display. It won't not respond to the Windows update program. Reinstalling drivers does not help.
It won't boot Android. It's useless.
Rebooting with the sound buttons depressed gives me a black screen, no recovery program.
I have the Android SDK on my Linux laptop, but it doesn't find any USB devices, regardless of whether I do a straight boot or attempt recovery mode.
I have a Linux version of nvflash, which also can't find the device, so http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610562 is no help.
What next?
If you have a Windows computer accessible:

Sadly most of the links in that thread point to 404s, so I am not able to find the Windows one-click CWM flasher, but I found this
http://search.4shared.com/postDownload/9h4mmcSp/nvflash-cwm_recovery-5027.html
which is a Linux nvflash binary, script, and CWM package. With enough fiddling around I managed to get Linux to detect the device and nvflash to install Clockwork, so I'm at least that far.
Now to figure out how to get rid of that upgrade screen ....
You ran into the exact same thing I ran into about 6 months, literally to a "T".
The link posted above by another member is what I followed, and it fixed the problem for me.
I hope you are able to find the various non-dead files/links!
Good Luck!

Here is the One-Click NVFlash for windows:
[RECOVERY][APP] 4-28:One-Click NvFlasher ClockWorkMod Touch 5.8.1.3/5.0.2.0/4.0.1.5
Also the KDZ flasher is probably the only way you're going to get the update finished, and you'll have to do that on XP.
XP
I have an XP laptop, but the KDZ flasher crashes when I try checking the phone configuration, and I have not been able to locate a KDZ file for the GX2. Pretty much everything in that thread resolves to a removed file, or a dead domain.
Oh, here's the V21y kdz.
You shouldn't need to check phone configuration, just open the kdz flasher,select the kdz file, and hit go.
EDIT: Yup, from the other thread:
speedsk8x said:
7) Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe.. Leave the type set to CDMA and the phone mode set to DIAG. DO NOT CLICK ON "Read phone information"
8) Click the folder icon and load the V21E_00.kdz
9) Click launch software update (and pray!)

Partial success
I had partial success with these instructions
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
... except that the device drivers were not Win7 compatible and I had to chase down the correct drivers by Googling for Nvidia APX drivers. Once that was done, I was able to nvflash back to a stock system and get out of the LG "S/W Update" bootloader problem.
However, the phone radio isn't working. The cited thread recommends updating using either the KZ loader or the LG Update tool after flashing, so I guess that's my next stop.
Decoding the instructions:
Removing the battery, holding down BOTH volume controls, and plugging in USB puts the phone in to "APX" mode. It will show up as an unknown device in Windows, which allows you to install the device driver. After that the nvflash utility can reflash all the phone's memory.
try this
This happend to me a month ago and took me till 4am to solve...
disclaimer this worked for me but your mileage may vary
First update your lg drivers here
dropbox.com/s/8hibwel69plml4w/LG%20_USB%20_Drivers_All_4.9.7.zip
The only way I found to get it out of the s/w update mode was to use this custom nv flasher that restores it to stock V21E over apx mode
dropbox.com/s/g2eli2mjapfhd0k/G2X_V21E_00_NVFlash.zip
it also includes the nvidia apx drivers
you get to apx mode by taking the battery out and holding both volume buttons down while pluging the usb cable in ... you can let go of the buttons after you see the update screen
after that your phone should boot up normal...skip syncing google account... now with your drivers updated try the lg update tool again... to me the lg tool is the most straight forward way to get the updated baseband... after this works you'll be on stock V21Y with new baseband Mar 11 2012...
now for recovery and backup use this and pick CWM 5.0.2.0
dropbox.com/s/odypked2aqha11i/One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-04-28-12.rar
after you have that done you can then flash this stock rooted V21Y via copy it to your sd card
dropbox.com/s/4db1h60uj7gmvpq/p999_2.3.4_v21y_4142012.zip
Thanks...
Thanks for the links! I'll try again with those versions and see if I can get the LG updater (which caused all this trouble in the first place) to work properly. I am still getting failures when it is connecting with the phone.
While I do have nvflash working (on the win7 laptop) and am able to flash CWM and install ROMs, the phone still doesn't seem to know it's a phone. The T-mobile wifi calling app says the SIM is bad.
I flashed Eaglesblood ICS, which was easy and looks like it's a great ROM, but the phone still doesn't work.
Check the "Rom for Recovery" thread in the Dev Section. Follow the instructions. It should get you up and running in no time.

Massive fail...
delete please, I post in wrong thread.
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!
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
My computer does see the phone if i take the battery out , and push the volume down while it connects. However when it connects , it cannot find drivers that it find originally.
I'd be happy just to have the phone back to froyo right now , however i am not giving up , just asking for advice. Will reply once i look at the resurrection post you suggested.

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.
hello,
I hope someone can help me with my AT&T LG Optimus Pro G phone, which I have royally screwed up.
I was experimenting with the cyogen mod and after installation I installed the freegee app and once the cwm recovery was installed, I decided to go into the recovery by holding down up volume and power button.
Once I was in recovery for CWM i couldn't exit out, and the phone constantly booted into recovery after every reboot, even if i took out the battery, and powered it on.
I tried reflashing the cynogen mod through the sd card, and even though I would get success message the phone would still reboot into the cwm recovery.
I started doing research on the internet and i found file exitrecovery.zip that could be used to possibly get the phone out of the cwm recovery.
After installing exitrecovery.zip, I rebooted the phone, and now I have complete black screen. There are no light, no hints the phone is even turning on, and I can't get into recovery( or at least I can't tell). The only thing now is that when i connect the phone to the computer the window tries to install drivers for the device, and eventually prompts to insert a CD for LG drivers. I already have LGUnitedMobileDriver v.3.10.1 connection drivers installed from their website.
Please help, I am really stuck here..... and have no clue what to do. I am fairly new with rooting and modding, and I am extremely miserable.
The phone is still under warranty from LG. Anyone if all else fails, and since the phone has no screen or lights, whether they would replace it?
Attaching the exitrecovery.zip that I used.
sobbing....

hi, thanks for your reply. Again I very much new to the rooting and android OS tinkering, and nowhere close to an experienced user.
I tried to use google with your information in regards to how to use flow ROM with expansion.exe, but did not get any leads.
I would appreciate if you could elaborate more on this process.
When my phone is connect to the computer via usb is is constantly trying to install drivers. I had already installed LG usb connection drivers in the past and it was successful. It almost seems it tries to install driver yet fails after receiving no input from the phone, and then request LG CD with drivers.

Try to find driver on the web-site of producer. Set them. Overload a vehicle in Bootloader. In the controller of devices on компе must be determined your device. Then on a computer start sewing - .EXE.
Did you get this problem resolved? I have the exact problem with the exact phone!!!
thank you very much
Hello. I offered some help to a friend because she wanted to install CM10 on her LG O3D Max (P720h), and everything was going smoothly... Until I noticed the IMEI thing.
Of course I tried to follow the guide on the General section, but the phone is not getting recognized by ANY flash utilities. LG Support Tool, LG Flash Tool, Smart Flash, KDZ Updater, nothing at all. At least when in S/W Upgrade mode, when turned on normally it's detected perfectly. I did try reinstalling drivers (OMAP, Infineon and LG), and it's not exactly a lack of drivers (nothing weird showed on device manager). Yes, I switched the COM ports just in case to test the Flash Tool, no results.
Is there anything else I can do to recover the IMEI or at least flash that thing to stockish (in case they complain about software)? For the first time (after flashing many other phones), I'm trapped. No ideas on how to solve this.
Thanks in advanced.
