you will need LG mobile update on your pc and install the lg p920 drivers
turn your phone off take the battery out leave it for 10 seconds, run LG mobile update connect battery and usb cable hold power and volume up hold it for 10 seconds let go then do it again for 10 seconds LG update should say phones connected
click customer support > recover type your imei let it update once finished power up phone now you will get a screen on the phone that says updating let it update

thank's for the quick respond, i do what you said but its fail to update because it said some irreversible error, i dont know what i must to do next, please help.

It will be stuck there forever!
There is no solution yet to fix this problem... Now you can only send it in for repair or wait for a possible fix...

Same problem here... Firmware Update Screen und no chance to get the phone to work... I tryd 3 times emergency mode... always the same...
I hope, someone has a idea?

I've been in that situation twice, Flashing the update kdz through USB should fix it.
In any case, I could use the following information from someone in this situation: while in recovery, open an adb shell on the phone and type each of these:
Code:
echo "522 1" > /sys/kernel/kobject_lge_nvdata/static_nvdata_raw_read
cat /sys/kernel/kobject_lge_nvdata/static_nvdata_raw_read
echo "518 1" > /sys/kernel/kobject_lge_nvdata/static_nvdata_raw_read
cat /sys/kernel/kobject_lge_nvdata/static_nvdata_raw_read
echo "522 1" > /sys/kernel/kobject_lge_nvdata/dynamic_nvdata_raw_read
cat /sys/kernel/kobject_lge_nvdata/dynamic_nvdata_raw_read
echo "518 1" > /sys/kernel/kobject_lge_nvdata/dynamic_nvdata_raw_read
cat /sys/kernel/kobject_lge_nvdata/dynamic_nvdata_raw_read
I need the output of each of the "cat" commands.

It's impossible to use adb the phone only displays the updating firmware screen that's all... I can put it into recovery mode without battery and pressing power and up but flashing via LG update tool will get you back into the firmware update screen

Vol-up+Power is download mode, not recovery. Still, that's strange. The LG Update tool should have installed the stock recovery, which wipes everything on the phone (including boot flags). Have you tried booting with Vol-down+Power to enter recovery?
And if that doesn't work, have you tried the KDZ Updater tool?

If you hold volume down + power it will power on and off again if you release power after LG logo I get firmware update screen, which kdz updater tool works on O3D?

Try again: I run into that all the time, getting into recovery mode with the keys is tricky.

I think there is only one...

I tried loads if times before it almost worked everytime after U got that firmware update screen I never succeeded will have to call LG tomorrow to get it replaced, no programs like kdz upd fw or uptestex were successful in flashing any kdz... the official LG tool works but after flashing only the firmware update screen.

Yes, same here and i think for all that have this problem
Vol.down+Power etc... I tested ALL!! KDZ Updater, several times with LG Updater Tool etc... NO Chance!
Always the same and you cant get into adb shell...
So there is only one way: LG Repair Center
Or lets hope that a updater tool comes that works with our O3D...

Tricky: Optimus One stuck at LG logo

Hey guys,
I got a little problem here and would appreciate any help. As you might have guessed from the title I have an Optimus One here that won't boot. It is stuck on LG logo screen. The phone is not mine but my father-in-law's and I told him I would have a look since his warranty is already void. He told me that he turned it off because it was gettin really slow (and he does that from time to time to clear memory) and as he wanted to turn it on again, it was stuck on LG logo. And has been since. I can still access emergency mode though, but that's it!
Now, I know that there are a lot of threads that treat this problem but in every one of these threads people solve the problem by flashing a stock ROM via KDZ. And that doesn't work for me. It just won't go through with the whole process. I'm flashing in emergency mode and always at some point you hear the sound indicating that a USB device has been unplugged and it starts to boot (I don't know if it is supposed to cause I've never had one of these phones in my hand that was working properly, only this broken one) but obviously gets stuck at LG logo. After a while I get an error from KDZ and thats it.
I also tried with LGMDP, which didn't work either. And obviously I tried a hard-reset, which didn't do anything.
I really don't know what to do with that stupid thing. But I am 100% convinced that it can be revived because emergency mode is still accessable.
Can any of you guys help me? Would be much appreciated!!
Cheers

Hard reset!! again...mb try to flash CWM and wipe data/cache/dalvik

Hard-Reset doesn't work. Just leaves me at the lg logo again. How do you flash CWM? You mean with LGDMP?

tried it, didn't do anything. Thanks for the effort though...

No. KDZ
I`ve broken CWM and killed my O1. And just flash CWM via KDZ and reflesh ROM. It helps me

@ElZeck, when you are flashing with KDZ, what is the error that you get? Also, what is the operating system on your computer? I think I had trouble using KDZ on Windows 7/8, but Windows XP worked just fine. Maybe you might want to try using KDZ on a different computer.

Hey guys, thanks for your replies!
@Kill4File: How do you flash CWM with KDZ? I tried with LGMDP but I wouldn't know what file I would need to do so with KDZ. Can you supply the file?
@sweetnsour: I don't recall the error exactly. I know it ran through parameters until 100 twice and then it got stuck at sth. like wPrm 8. That sound familiar to you? OS is Windows 7.

Just download a recovery like cwm or twrp, then extract the .img file and flash that through lgmdp.
Edit : if you start your phone what happens?

Thanks for your reply, TheAndroidGeek, I already did that und it didn't change anything. When I start the phone, the LG logo pops up and that's it.

I remember my friend bricking his LG Mytouch, so I tried to help him out with KDZ. I believe you got a similar error (and he was also using Windows 7). I think looking for a different computer to use KDZ on might be the key, especially if you find a Windows XP computer. Basically Windows 7 caused trouble for my friend and me, and Windows 8 wasn't any better. My old XP desktop got the job done though.
This is what I do when I use KDZ (don't miss the words in bold):
1. Manually boot your phone into emergency mode, with emphasis on manually. To do so, hold Back + Vol Up + Power.
2. Plug the cable into the computer first, and then the other end into the phone, in that order. I know some people are used to plugging the cable into the phone first and then into the computer, but sometimes (at least when the phone is normally booted) the computer doesn't detect the phone.
2a. Just making sure, I assume that since your computer at least began the KDZ flash, you already have the drivers for your phone. If you do decide to try it on a different computer, remember to install the drivers (reasons on why I use Windows XP in the next step). Also, don't forget to disable the LGE Modem in Device Manager.
3. Open KDZ. I don't know why KDZ causes issues for me on Windows 7/8, but on those two operating systems, I get some sort of "compatibility issues." Also, KDZ likes to crash in the middle of a flash. Never had any of those issue in Windows XP (no crashes, and I believe KDZ was built for XP anyway since there aren't any compatibility issues).
4. Make sure you have it set to 3GQCT and DIAG. (If KDZ fails to flash, try the different options under PHONEMODE and also try shaking your phone during the flashing process). Browse to your KDZ file.
5. Begin the flashing process. No matter what happens on your phone (it reboots, makes noises, etc) don't remove the cable until KDZ reads "FINISHED".
6. If the phone fails to boot properly (stuck on bootanimation even though it flashed properly), yank the battery, and hold Home + Vol Down + Power. This will begin a hard reset.
If this is what you've been doing on Windows 7 and it still fails, I highly recommend using Windows XP.
Hopefully that helps

Unfortunately, I can't! Only emergency mode is accessable. Anything else (recovery, hard reset,...) leads to LG logo screen.
@sweetnsour: thanks for the detailed description but unfortunately that is exactly what I've been doing...
But there is one silver lining: I didn't try Win XP yet. I'll keep you updated...

I had this. I took out the battery, replaced it and then plugged into the USB. Got charging screen. From there, adb reboot recovery, restored a backup, and got back up and running (assume you have a usable backup available).

Here is a way to revive your phone
If you can enter recovery mode,your phone is revibable.You can install CyanogenMod 7 Android 2.3.7.
First,you need to download CM7 ROM.
Then download Google Apps.
After you download these files,put your sdcard in other phone,then connect to computer via USB cable.
Transfer the downloaded zip files to sdcard.
Insert your sdcard in your LG Optimus One.
Put your phone into recovery mode(ClockWorkMod recovery is required).
Use Volume buttons to navigate and Menu/Search key to select.
From the main menu,select mounts and storage>format/system.
Also select format/data and format/cache.
Go to main menu and select wipe data/factory reset>yes.
Now,select install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard and select downloaded zip
Also,install Google Apps.
Reboot your phone.
You'll see the LG logo,Don't Panic!Wait a few seconds,and the CM boot animation will appear.
First boot takes some long time to install updates.
You're done!

I got a big problem

Hello, today i was updating my O3D to the official ICS when suddenly my crappy dell computer crashed. The flash failed and now the only thing my phone does is vibrate and show the LG logo then within 1 second it shuts off. I tried different ressurection guides and all failed. Even with the LG recovery it doesn't work. It detects my phone as cdma device and flashing works but when i try to start i got the same problem.
Anyone experienced this problem??
Thank you!

have you tried to flash kdzfile?

Aside from hardware damage , which is not likely , O3D is unbrickable.
You're probably not doing it right.
If it gets to the bootloader which is running under that lg logo you speak of , that means it's not totally bricked.
If it just shuts off than that means , it can't load the system partition because it's filesystem is either corrupted or nonexistent.
That's a good sign , that means it's looking for it , and if the bootloader is there , that means it can probably get into download mode without external help.
So , you need to get into download mode and flash a bin rom to your device.
Download LG Flashtool and install the correct drivers listed and linked in the resurrection guide.
Load the dll and the rom to it then press ready.
Use the resurrection guide to get into download mode , you can skip the part "omapboot" to get into download mode if you can get into download mode without it. (Remove the battery press the vol + button and you hear a connected then disconnected , then in the second connected you plug the battery in.) If you installed the drivers correctly it will get into download mode. If it doesn't start over , you probably did something wrong or you need omapboot.
Don't worry i faced a couple of scary and frustrating hours in my first time but you'll get through.
Use the guide for everything you need.
Alternatively , you can always take it to your LG Service Center...

Do you mind posting what you did that was able to work? I have to wait to find someone that will let me use a windows computer to run the flash tool I guess as I cant run it on Mac OS X
Stuck on the TWRP screen, and flashing zips doesn't work, every reboot brings it to the TWRP screen and I cant seem to find system.img or boot.img in the file directory from that screen so I am thinking it ALL got wiped
Thanks for any help

Just a little FYI, you named the thread hard bricked, however you were only soft bricked. Hard Brick is a dead phone... No power, no lights, or any response.

On stock 5.0.2 but no download mode

Ok so I was originally on the d80020c firmware that I flashed via a tot file. I then rooted and forced a fota update to d80020y then did that again to get to d80030f. I am now on stock 5.0.2 and it is no longer rooted after the update. When I go into stumproot app it says im rooted but im not and there is no option to try again. I can not flash the phone or do anything with it like root or install twrp because all of those require download mode to be working. When I have the phone powered off and plug in the USB cable it shows the LG logo then tells me the battery %. I cant figure out how to fix this. Can anyone please help? I found a guy on reddit that had a the same problem a few years ago but his fix didnt work for me. I will link his post. Everything inside the OS works fine. I just dont want to stay stock.

I appreciate the reply and i figured out what I was doing wrong. I needed a usb 2.0 port and not a 3.0 port. However I was having a issue with not being able to get back into twrp after I flashed a rom. The rom worked fine but i couldnt flash supersu and had to use the built in root manager. I wanted to try a different rom so I had to flash back to stock and do everything over again but for some reason even though i used all d800 files download mode was telling me that I now had a d802 phone when I did not. I bricked and unbricked the phone about 4 times trying to fix it and eventrually gave up. After I had done the unbrick method to it twice weird lines were showing up on my screen. I could have probably flashed a d802 rom to it but Im in college and had devoted way to much time to ****ing with this phone that i should have been studying. So in order to stop myself I took it outside and THREW IT ON THE GROUND! I then proceeded to smack it with a hammer untill the battery exploded and caught the phone on fire.
