[Q] LG Fathom Emergency Mode and Updating Problem

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.

Baseband

I just recovered my phone from it bootlooping into the s/w screen but now i'm getting no data connection to my carrier. I'm guessing the only way to restore this problem is to use LG updater tool to flash the OTA 2.3.3 which also flashes a new baseband(which is what i need)
I have tried using LG tool but for some reason it keeps giving me errors saying usb connection error or can't connect to phone. I have tried 2 different cables so that can't be the problem. I'm running Windows 7 32 bit, do i need to have the phone on fully booted into android, or should i be running it on the s/w update screen?

You might have already done this but what I would recommend doing is re-installing G2x drivers and then try again.

Yea, but it never hurts to try again from scratch. Thanks for the input.

When you get the connection error try unplugging the USB cable, wait for the computer to beep to confirm the USB device driver has been unloaded, plug the cable back in and wait for the computer to beep to verify that the device driver is running again and then click the restart button on the LG Update. This happened to me once and this is how I fixed it. I ignored the message about pulling the battery. If that doesn't work then you need to search for the thread on the KDZ method and update your phone that way. KDZ method flashes the same ROM as the LG Updater.

Ya, i've tried just about everything including the kdz method. I even ran it on my friends xp computer but got the same results i did when i was on windows 7. LG tool and kdz just friggin hates my phone and computers i guess because i have followed all the threads and peoples advice and still can never get past the errors those programs keep giving me.

Please don't take this as a patronizing question, but did you install the LG USB driver package for T-Mobile phones? If you didn't then none of the above mentioned tools will be able to connect to your phone. Did you also turn off anti-virus, firewall, all background programs, etc. before trying to connect? If you did that and you still cannot connect go into control panel with your phone connected, find the LG Modem driver for the phone and disable it. The modem connecting first can prevent the phone from connecting in a mode it can be flashed. Then disconnect the USB cable and plug it back in. When the drivers load about ten devices should be installed. The first time my phone was plugged into my computer only two devices installed. I then reinstalled the drivers from the LG Updater program directly (not the ones downloaded from the LG TMO G2X driver page) and then the next time I plugged in my phone about eight new devices were S/W update mode more drivers get installed. This delay sometimes causes a communications error the first time, but unplugging the cable and reinserting it will sometimes fix the problem at that point.

I welcome your feedback
Yea I installed that driver where it loads 8-10 additional drivers for g2x. So I think I will try disabling the modem driver and restart the LG update tool. At this point I've tried just about everything but am willing to try any other suggestions, like yours, and thank you for the help.

[Q] Help Choosing a ROM for LG Optimus 3D (P920)

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
Best Regards

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.

The rom I am using is jellycream v2 by optimusRS, and am very pleased with it.

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
Best Regards

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
Chimaera500

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.

[Q] please soo stuck

ive rooted an flashed my lg optimus 3d there only one rom that works as all the other roms just keep restarting the phone. i think because i didnt update to ics or something to do with baseband im not sure,i was on gb and still am, iv tried various methods of trying to restore my phone to stock so i can start again but i crnt update the omap drivers as device manager is flashing on and off and when i get chance its says parameter is incorrect, anyhelp to restore or get my phone to ics would be much appreciated please please

For custom ICS ROMs, yes, you have to first install 'regular' ICS. For that as well as driver install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195753
Then you can install any custom ROM based on ICS.
You should be logged onto pc as administrator...

hey thanks for the reply i have done all that but the omap driver just wouldnt intall or connect, iive tried a few methods but they dont seem to be working dont know if its through sheer tiredness or now impaitience to get it done but ive now complety baffled myself as im stuck with android guy with a red triangle on boot screen no recovery or anything, not sure where to go from here even to get it back to stock

As described there when it is blinking in device manager you will need to quickly right click on it when it appears then force install it.
