Sorry, I know nothing about LG phones. You might be better looking for a thread for the ROM you flashed or for your phone's thread. You will probably get better response and help.
Good luck.

Try pressing vol down and then power, so you will get to the recovery.
From there, do all wipes and formats and then reboot.
Theoretically, this could solve your problem.

There, fixed.

th LG update tool is absolutely horrible. I was updating my firmware with this tool and wifi disconnected a few times, (on talktalk, horrible provider) it continued with the firmware download nonetheless, it seems that it does not check properly that the downloaded firmware file is corrupt or not and continues flashing regardless.
Suffice to say, the wifi disconnect happened at around 10% of the download and when the firmware was flashed, it generated the error at around the same time resulting in a phone that looked completely dead. black screen, no lights etc.
Thankfully got it working via the powerup and cable insert and reflashed the recovery from the lg tool.
I wonder how many LG optimus phones get sent back to the company for fixing. I have flashed many phones and devices, never had this type of problem before.

Weird question about emergeny mode

Hello to everyone and respect to all you developers for your hard work!
as you can see i'm noob but i'll try not to be too noobish.
here's the situation.. now, i have hephappy's CM9 bluepill rom installed in my lg p500 and it works just perfect (i mean it,just perfect),
and before that i have flashed custom rom's couple of times with success but once when i tried to boot into emergency mode (vol down+back+power) after that i couldn't get rid of that yellow message every time i restarted or turn on my phone till today.
so, now i'm living with that issue,but it bothers me,i can't understand why yellow emergency screen is showing EVERY time i reboot my mobile.
then i find out that the only way to avoid that is pulling battery out and wait for at least 5 minutes and then switch on (then it's ok - LG logo and blah blah).
but when i try to turn it on for less than 5 mins, emergeny mode will be showing everytime i switched mobile on.
so, i don't have a clue or answer what it could be. i tried to flash stock firmware through KDZ and actually everything seems ok and everything works just fine but that yellow screen still spy on me.
as i said, everything works perfect but when battery is drained or i wanna reboot my mobile i have emergency mode shown,so i must repeat above procedure with pulling out battery for 5 mins everytime.
i hope i didn't complicate this

Try to change RADIO (BASEBAND),maybe it might help you!

yes pal. everything i can remember including booting into recovery with clockworkmod, wiping all data,cache,update with kdz,then root,flash new rom...and everytime everything goes like a glowe,everything is stable,with no errors.
i suppose i'm one of the luckiest lg p500 users when it's about good,stable device,which could be overclocked or tweaked without kernel panic,errors, etc (i heard that differences between same devices can vary).
BUT after all that i have that same issue with yellow emergency mode.
finally, i suppose that yellow screen is the price i must pay at the cost of good stability and great performance

did you try flashing gb stock rom by lgmdp?

If you can get into yellow screen your ok
Last resort use kdz just don't take out battery or disconnect and you should be fine

@dhruv:
I heard about lgmdp,but i didn't found myself interested enough to try it
Because i actualy didn't had any issues excep that yellow screen.so you think it could be helpful?
@darkknight:
It is the only way i can avoid yellow screen by pulling out battery for 5 mins.
I know that my prob is unusal but now i have a lot of apps installed linked with link2sd,so i should find some way to safely backup all that stuff and try to do smtg.

I didnt get the method of flashing rom.. what you said above!!
You root again after updating from kdz.. you have gone wrong somewhere thats why you
get emergency mode everytime you restart.
I would suggest.. clear all the links.. make a nandroid backup. Dont use kdz as its not
required. Go into recovery.. clean everything (specially boot) and flash any rom and see if the problem persists.

which rom and which recovery maybe you can try and change the recovery. I wont reccomend kdz because i flashed it 10-12 times but after that i bricked my phone 2 times while flashing with kdz.

Here it is..
I had official gingerbread used when i found out that cm9 ics was out.then i have wait for stable cm9 rom,till hephappy's premature version.
So,i decided to flash premature,so here is a short procedure..
I don't have exact rooting/flashing guide link right now but i found it on xda forums for p500.
Downloaded short fuse,adb,etc and root via usb & command prompt..everything was ok,device sucesfully rooted,i got superuser.
Next step i installed rom manager from google play and follow flash instructions from xda including nandroid backup,booting to recovery,wiping data,dalvik,battery,everything that could be wiped..then installed premature,gapps,everything goes just fine.
I have been using premature till bluepill cames out.
just before flashing new rom i decided to hard reset via vol up+home+power, but i accidently entered into emergency mode by pressing vol down+back+power instead and after that yellow showing i have issue with it.
Downloaded then stock ginger rom from xda sites (20g),installed via kdz,everything flows fine,rooted againg with same procedure,flashed bluepill rom too with same procedure and still having that yellow emergency mode issue.
I think i made it much more clear

[Q] Phone isn't turning on

Hey, guys!
First post from me in this forum, although I have been searching for some things for some times.
So, the problem is that I had Cyanogenmod 7.2 on my LG P500 for couple months. And ROM was working ok, but there was some problems and I thought I should get back to stock ROM, because actually it was working better and smoother. So, I searched for stock roms for my phone, found one and started to flash. Everything flashed well, phone booted up and then wave of errors started to come. So I thought that it ain't gonna be usable and tried to install a stock rom through official LG Updater, which obviously wasn't a good thing to do. everything, downloaded, installed, phone booted up and I was waiting with hope that it will boot up (android loading screen at least was showing), but it didn't happen. After that I managed to power phone off with getting battery out and then I tried to fix everything with one tutorial I saw in this forum with kdz updater. but at the begging it couldn't connect with my phone and after that screen showd Emergency Mode. nothing I could do, again took out battery to power it off and now phones doesn't show any signs of life.
What does it mean (maybe my phones is same as brick) and what should I do?
I would appreciate your help.

Plug in the wall charger for about an hour, and then try the buttons - press power button+ volume up button + back button together
keep pressed all three for long duration (maybe 8-10 secs you see yellow screen with written Emergency Mode). Then you are in Emergency Mode.
If no screen yet, then bricked - only LG repair center option.

I NEED HELP, Stock on Grey LG logo, can't flash with smart Flash or LG flash tool.

Well guy i don't know if this kinda of problems occur to any of you, but it first time it happen to me.
Well i was going to flash Pacman CM10 over the ICS 28b, but it didn't work so i had to flash BOOT V21E.
Well it flashed very well, i rooted it and then i start to flash the CWM and the ICS boot loader, i think its the V1.25 but i am not sure. well usually it gives the grey Lg logo. but now i wont start the phone, it stay on Grey LG LOGO, i tried the Resurrection guide but the phone doesn't stay more then a minutes or so on Download mode, i tried Smart flash and LG flash tool but as the Download mode stay only for a minute and it goes off.
i have tried most of the way that i can't fix but it didn't help at all .
What am i going to do to fix this?

You have to enter download mode manually ,, because "omap4boot" make the phone in download mode for few minutes ,,
after you enter download mode manually the flashing will be completed .
By the way ,, you posted in wrong section .

Why did you flash the ICS bootloaders with a GB rom installed?
Flash the GB bootloaders, the easyest way is by using OS_Hacking's All-in-one Tool.

Sorry Mate I didn't realized that i actually posted in here, when i saw i quickly went to general. Anyway I found out what was my problems was and everything is fixed now.
Before i flashed Cm10 i had 100% battery level, so when i start to flashed i got the error 7, well untill i fixed that some how somewhere my battery just went out for no reason, so i had 2% battery left which is no matter what i am gonna do the download Mode won't stay longer that a minute that's why i couldn't flash it, smart flash or Lg flashtool.
thanks for your help anyway and i am really sorry that i posted it in wrong section, next time i will be more cautious.

Thank Daniel,

I flashed another bootloader and everything was fine i don't have that grey Lg logo anymore.

My tool (All-In-One) doesn't have any problem ,, I have fixed all them in version 1.2 .
That silver lg logo means you have the latest bootloaders , version 1.25a by wkpark (means :- Best Available for Optimus 3D) .
If you have any problem , please report it in the thread . If you want a red LG I can add it in version 1.3 (I will add bootloaders version 1.11 to give you a red LG) .
As I said in the beginning of the thread "I don't have this phone" , I can't know any problem ,, I have fixed every problem I know .
If you have any problem/idea/bug you can post them and I will fix them as well as I can .
Thanks for your support .

What you have to do is remove your battery and put it back, plug the usb cable part going to computer, don't plug yet the part going to phone, so now push on Vol down at the same time plug the usb cable to the phone.
open the LG flash tool , make it ready to flash, after all this unplug the usb cable and plug it back immediately .
the phone will be flash normaly
hope you succed

is it fastboot? try fastboot reboot command in cmd

It seems like you are in fastboot mode.
First check in device manager LG COSMO. Then install its driver included in OS_HACKING tool.
You may flash then the bootloaders and any recovery you want.
