Hey guys, I have done a factory reset on my lg p920 after which the phone
only boots into the recovery. So this means I have no way to enter my phone again.
I have tried to reflash the kdz but I can't get my phone back into emergency mode.
So the only options I have now with my phone are holding the 3d , down volume and power button and choose between
- flashboot
- recovery
- normal
So is there a way to recover this brick and get back to ics ?
Thanks in advance guys

if you can get into fast boot you can flash one of xbsall's ics images for o3d this should then let you flash his ics rom using the all in one tool in the development section. this should fix it and then you can install whatever you want after

Hello, I have a LG P920. When I was going to root it and install an ICS rom I tried to install the u-boot and x-loader from wkpark. But for som reason the phone wouldn't boot, so it got stuck in a bootloop. After trying to fix it several ways i ended up with it boot directly into recovery and when I try to flash a boot.img it says that it doesn't excist any boot partiton. I have really no idea what to do to fix it. Please help. In advance thank you.
Did you try flash *.bin or *.kdz ??
And what you mean with "when I try to flash boot.img ..." the recovery can not flash a *.img
Just *.zip which contain :- boot.img and META-INF .
Here is the link :-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629307
Yeah, try flashing with lg flashtool

When I said flash boot.img I meant trough fastboot, followed this tutorial. And for some reason I cannot access recovery, it is highly possible that I am doing that the wrong way.
I have tried to use LG Flasht tools, but I think I'm doing something wrong. And when thats said, I'm not completly sure in which mode I should be in, meaning fastboot, recovery, download mode. The problem is that when I try using flash tools, it seems when I set it to use port 1 in flash tools nothing happends. When comparing to other screenshots, I can also see that in flash tools it doesn't recognise, or at least not telling me (at the top info bar) what model, or S/W just the file name.
I kind of tried smart flash from the link, but I ended up with a complete wipe, and it seemed like it hadn't been flashed any new rom.
About the mode just remove sim , sd card and the battery press and hold vol up and then connect it to the computer .
About the port , first you should change the port from windows device manager to port 1 .
I'm sorry about the boot.img ...etc . So I see many people in XDA extract the *.zip and flash it with CWM . In XDA I saw every thing

I have the same problem. I tried all ways to solve but they didn't work.
I flashed ICS Rom for my P920 from xbsall, but I had some problems about signal. The calls are always disconnected while Wifi 3G work normally.
I decided to flash v21.e ROM ( GB) again but the phone just stuck at Logo LG (I tried both kdz or bin file). Seems to be hopeless :crying:. I also realize that the Emergency mode disappeared ( The screen just flashed fast and off ).
The problem is solved if I flash ICS ROM back, but I don't want to.
Need help from you guys !

I have fixed the phone. After doing a lot of what I don't know what I do. I finally realised that one of my biggest problems was that I used a 64 bit windows 7 computer. The way I fixed mine was trough setting it in normal download mode and you smart flash to get it to an original rom. If anybody need to try what I did and need help from me, if I can provide it. You should send a PM because I am never in the LG P920 thread beacuse I was fixing a friends phone. So as for me this thread can be closed moderators.

This happens because the flashing failed when you tried to flash the wrong firmware. When the phone boots, it runs certain system checks, and if it fails those checks, as a safe mode, it throws itself into Fastboot. It will do this because it is unsure if the phone is safe to boot.
You can boot it normally from fastboot by hitting power, (screen shuts off) hold down both volume rockers, and hit the power button. Then select boot normally.

If you want to get back to stock, FXZ back to one of the stock AsianRetail firmware which can be found here.
If you don't know what FXZ is, read here.
Root from here.
If for some one reason this firmware does not work for you (it didn't for me, it got stuck at lockscreen everytime the phone booted and I couldn't unlock the phone) you could use this firmware.
Root from here.
Hope it helps!
Cheers.
Thank you so much buddy
it worked!!!!
Flashed with stock rom and its working fine now
thanks so muchh!!!

Before I start to offer ideas on the issue do you have any idea what caused this to start?
Did you flash a custom ROM/Recovery/Firmware to the phone or did it just stop working ?

Yes. I try to unlock bootloader by official way. But i couldnt unlock it on that way. So I unlocked it using flash tool.
Then i install cwm recovery. But after that i couldnt turn on my phone. I think i did some mistake.

Then the best option is to download the flashing tool for your device and flash the stock firmware to it using fastboot. That should get it into a working state which you can then work from to install a custom recovery.

Before booting/after flashing the firmware make sure you reset the device in recovery so it has a "clean slate" to boot to as this should remove any old apps/settings from the previous firmware/ROM that could cause it to bootloop

Stock ROM cannot be flashed with recovery, u need flashtool and more important ur device should boot into download mode. So try ur hands on custom ROM.

Can I install custom ROM from stock recovery mode?
First of all you shouldnt have made a factory reset.
Did you have a rootedsystem.img or system.img in the root of your internal sd card?
If you did all you had to do is dd flash that image and your phone would have returned to life. If you read the instructions to rooting you shouldve made a backup first!
If you flash ZV5 TOT you will hard brick your phone.

Well I thought u had custom recovery, never mind, u just need to enter in bootloader and flash the stock ROM. This might save u from soft brick.

I thought the factory reset would have fixed the problem. I bought the phone already rooted, so no I dont have neither of the .img files. I have a friend with a similar phone, can i get the files i need from that phone?

Hello guys, I am on xda for long time now but this is first time I am posting something so plz dont kill me
I have H955 running v15D...
So here is the problem. I flashed modpack http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/dec-21-stock-lollipop-flex-2-ls996-t3275531 v3.5 and now I cant flash any KDZ and I want to start fresh.
So almost like with other people BUT I can still boot to the system. I tried many combinations but nothing works. LG flashtool always stucks at 9%. What should I do?
I am trying to flash new KDZ because my speakers are too loud and distorted and I am missing stock LG keyboard (long story dony ask...)
If you can still boot to system why not flash stock system backup through dd command? That should erase the mods...
I didnt made system backup. Even if I did, I still dont know how to flash it nor how to u se dd comands. I got this phone 10 days ago. I never had this type od problems on good ol' m8. Please help me
Follow the guides... You said you can still boot to system so do as the guides say to restore back to stock 15D or the rootedsystedm.img of 15D.

1. Download system img for your build (mine was 15D)
2. Download system img flasher FOR H950 AND LS996 link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/p-restore-recovery-to-stock-tool-h950-t3171550
3. If you dont have LG mobile drivers download them...
4. Enter the program while phone is normally booted and then choose ls996 (at least I took this one)
5. After the flash I was stuck at bootloop in which my PC recognised my phone in download mode (I dont know how but k)
6. When my phone got recognised I closed h950 and ls996 app and opened basic LG tool for flashing kdz
7. Flash KDZ
Finish
Yes it works thanks man <3
Tried and true on H950 5.1.1PR, I used H950 option in the flasher and it worked right off the bat, no bootloops. After that I flashed KDZ with flash tool and everything's fine and dandy, though I still cannot access recovery via button combination and it says no command
