i am loosing it....
i tried every thread about bricked phone - and nothing solved my problem.
it all started when i tried to use th LG FLASH TOOL to upgrade firmware and by mistake i checked "Erase Entire AP" and since than my phone wont turn on.
when i connect the usb cable - i get a notification of OMAP443 but it goes on and off rapidly like it is connecting and disconnecting at the same time - not stable.
i download all drivers, even tried to manual fix the driver with the inf file, but nothing - still unstable.
i also bought a special usb cable that has 56K-130K-910K - i tried all modes but did not get the download mode screen as shown in one of the guides here.
i need to stable the connection between the phone and the pc so i can flash the firmware.
any suggestions ?
please help - anyone :crying:
You have probably used Smartflash,not Lg flashtool.
I can make your phone to stay connected to pc but you won't be able to flash anything
Your phone's cpu is in debug mode now.
Signed bootloaders are needed to recover it with Linux, or a script for omapflash for recovering with windows..

Does it work?
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 Guys, i have to show you, how you can recover your LG P720/725 and 720H. It´s very simple. Since i have my LG P720 i have reflashed my phone so often by this step´s
there give´s 3 methodes to bring your Smarthphone back to orginal
First what do you need.
First off all you need the KDZ from your Phone and the *.cp and *.ap also the binarys
----------- S/W MODE --------------
Plugged your Batterie out of the Phone. Wait 3 seconds.
Bring it back and insert your USB Cable to the Phone. Then Hold the Volume+ Button for 6 seconds. Your S/W Mode will start.
Now Connect your Phone to the PC, maybe you must install the Driver. (There are in the LG Flash Tool Package included)
If you didn´t flashed your Phone and it´s bricked automaticly , you can use the First Methode
--------First Methode ------
Connect Your Phone via USB to the PC and bring your Phone in the S/W Mode.
Start your LGMobile Support Tool and start the Emergency Mode, it will download the KDZ and flash it new to the Phone.
You have flashed a wrong Bin or KDZ to your Phone? Or Your Bootloader is bricked, also Bootloop ? Use this Methode
---------- Second Methode-----------------
You need the "LG Flash Tool Package" and the full working "LPG720 DLL" you can get the FlashPack here p92x.acidhazardrom.com/ccount/click.php?id=15 . This Includes all relevant Drivers, install it.
Here in the Post you find the LG Flash Tool 1.2 without Drivers
and the DLL are from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1937519&stc=1&d=1367761284
The SmartFlash Tool http://hotfile.com/dl/143853325/ed430ad/SFT.rar.html Password [email protected]
--If You have a Behavior Blocker on your PC, disable it ---
Install all Drivers from the LG FlashPack.
Bring your Phone to the S/W Mode, install the Drivers.
So after you installed it, go to your Device Manager on the PC and change the Comport under connections > LG Modem ..... to COM41. Disconnect your Phone.
Install the FlashTool, then Start the LGFlashTool.exe from the LG Flash Tool 1.2. Then Select Manual Mode, choose the DLL and add your AP.bin and CP.fls. Press OK. Goto the COMConnector Button and Choose the Port 1. OK. Click on the Arrowbutton , the Program will be ready. Connect your Phone in S/W Mode now to the PC. It start´s automaticly and flash´s your device new.
After your Phone is ready, check your Mobile Network, if its false,"No conenction" you have to reflash the Baseband.
Use the Smartflash Tool, bring your Phone Back to S/W, start Smartflash and connect your phone. Goto the Register Rom Copy D/L under CP Bin use the *.fls binary. Click the Button "Start" now the Smartflash flash´s the Baseband new.
Now Your Phone is NEW.
---------------------------------------------------------------
My Smartphone is Permantently Bricked, bootloop, flashtool can´t flash anything(but i have used it correctly), Kernel Error or anything else
----------- The Third Methode-------------
So Guys, this is complicated for noobs.
You need the OAMP TOOL, download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1937574&stc=1&d=1367763391
Now unplug your Batterie from the Phone, and connect it via USB to the PC. Now he will install the Driver, make it manual and choose the Driver from the folder usb_drv_windows, includes in the Package your downloaded.
So now if you have installed the Driver, start the "start_fastboot.bat". Choose your Phone and press the Button on your keyboard, the Tool will bring your Device to the Fastboot mode, if its write to start the mode "Pls wait 5 secondes " is now in the Screen read. Plug your batterie back to your phone.
then choose "install orginal bootloader" and follow the Steps. After you have to all, bring it back to the S/W Mode and follow Second Methode.
------------------------My S/W Mode is Gone-------------------
Follow Third Methode, but hold your vol up button permanetly , this will bring your Phone to the S/W Mode.
----------------------- Nothing goes, i think my Device is Bricked permantenly, fastboot can find any partitions or any thing else--------------------------
After i had this Problem, i fixxed it. So start Omap, choose your device. Hold permanently your Vol up button, plugg the Cable to usb and insert the Batterie. Omap brings your phone back to S/W.
Now flash your Stock Image with FlashTool, maybe 3 Times.
It works for me
----------- Other Mode KDZ_FW_UPD ---------------
i have forgot to tell you this mode. For this you need the KDZ File.
Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1949514&stc=1&d=1368135582
Its the same methode with the LG Mobile Support Tool, but offline.
Bring your Phone to S/W Mode and connect it to the PC.
First you have to edit your hosts file. Open it and insert this 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
then start kdz server, start windows enabler. See at the Tryicon click on it and make it ON.
Then open UpTestEX_mod2_marwin
On the rigth side, click on select kdz file. Choose your KDZ.
On the Bottom start "normal web upgrade test"
Then Upgrade Start.
The Mobile Support Tool opens and flashs the KDZ
This was a short Guide to bring your Phone back. If You have questions so ask pls =). Btw sry for my bad English, but i hope you can understand it
Added CWM for P720 maybe P920

Hi,
How do I get the binary files?
Also, the SFT.rar file is asking for a password.
If I have the KDZ, .bin and .fls files, i can use this method to upgrade to later version of software as well ( I am on V10C on P725, I can use this method to upgrade to V10F as well)
please help.
schubeir
ok if you read the Guide you find
The SmartFlash Tool http://hotfile.com/dl/143853325/ed430ad/SFT.rar.html Password [email protected] <<<<<< Passwort
the Binary files are from the KDZ, you musst extract them with LG Extract Tool
you can Use SFT or LG Faslhtool to flash you binarys.
If You have only the KDZ Use KDZ_UP......
Good Job !!!
Dear MasterTobi, hello!
I am trying all these methods, but I can't unbrick my phone! I can enter 2 different screens for S/W Upgrade, one by normal mode, another by OMAP boot mode, bu tin anyone my phone goes live... Do I have to select the port 41 in LG Modem in Device Manager, and after this, port 1 in the LG Flahs Tool? Is it correct? When I try to do this, I got the message "Downlaod Fail" each 20 seconds in the port 1 field at the LG Flash Tool.
I tried the methods in this post and another ones, but anyone works for me. Do you have any idea?
Thank you very much!

Sorry, but if I use your DLl, I got the message "Model Name is different! Chel phone or DLL!".
Also, I tried the smartflash tool, selecting the ap and cp. At the ending, appears a mesage "Magic number doesn't concide".
And finally, I tried the "Normal web upgrade test". This one looked as my phone would return to life, but not...
In any of methods I could turn on the phone. I don't know what I can do know. I am very, very afraid...

oh guys...............
so you have a magic number ........ strange, there is only the error if you have a wrong version
you have to download the LGP720AT-00-V10e-EUR-XXX-JUL-17-2012+0_AP this is for the P720/P725 alias 3D MAX
Success!
Hey people! I got success! After many days trying, I unbricked my phone! I will tell you what I did.
- My phone is a P725. I don’t know exactly where is it from. This information (P725) was very important for me in the unbricking process.
- I used the LG Flash Tool 1.3.77.21 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=984864&d=1333650043).
- Now, the two cheats that helped me to unbrick my phone:
1st: I didn’t use the .dll from the first page of this post, and I didn’t use the .dll, .bin and .fls extracted from the KDZ gotten from the IMEI of the phone. They didn’t work for me. I googled for these files for P725AT, which was the model that LG Flash Tool was telling me that is my phone. I found the following files:
http://freakshare.com/files/e6xssy95/BIN_LGP725AT-00-V10b-ARB-XXX-MAY-08-2012-0.zip.html
http://uploaded.net/file/v6orqts2
2nd: At the flashing process, there is a pause at 80% telling that the phone will reset. In some cases, the reset really occurs, but in my case, the reset didn’t occur. A lot of errors appeared (see the image), but no problem. I just turned on my phone, and BINGO! It was working again.
It’s important to tell that I had to put my phone in download mode using the OMAP TOOL, that can be found in the first page of this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1937574&stc=1&d=1367763391). Don’t forget to change the LG USB COM Port to 41.
That is my history! I hope that this help someone. I would like to thank everybody who wrote about the brick of this phone (MasterTobi, Karim Kahale, Eklovya Dutta [I'm not certain of how to link for them, sorry!] and anybody else), I believe that is one of the worsts bricks in smartphones…
Good luck for all!
EDIT:
I forgot to tell: all the process was made in a Windows 8 64 bit. It gave me some difficults to install all the drivers, but it is possible, Google it and found how to.
