Got a bit of a problem.... I flashed a ROM onto my phone (forgot to back up, that's my big issue) It said it flashed just fine. Went to start up, just ran the lg logo for about 30 mins. Decided to try re-flashing it. Made sure to wipe everything. Nothing, still have the same issue. Tried to get back into CWM, but its gone now. Tried doing emergency download software, now its stuck on the screen "Download is in progress, do not disconnect cable." Im stuck. I dont know what else to do. I've tried the LG Support Tool, but it says to use Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant, which I can't get because I can't find a download for it and I cant get it from my phone.
I have the stock ROM image, but I have no clue how to install it without CWM or something. Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I needs my phone...

they said to use Upgrade Assistant that means you never told them about the truth: phone is not booting....big mistake or let me understand that:Upgrade Assistant works when your phone is in download mode ?!
what is that rom you tried to flash surely was for your phone ?
also you have stock rom this is a .zip file or what format?
can you enter fastboot mode ?

Um... Let's see... The LG Support Tool which in most cases you can use to return your phone to stock comes up with a message saying "Upgrade tool is preinstalled in your phone. Please allow to install "Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant" when the phone is being connected to the PC". That's what the tool tells me.
The ROM I tried to flash was BrokenOutConnect v1.0. Its for the LG Connect, which is almost the same phone, and some one said it would be ok to flash it.
The stock ROM is in an .img file, so I need to figure out how to install from that
And I have no idea how to enter fast boot (unless your referring to the vol up+down + pwr, in which case, that doesn't work.
Sorry, can't post the original page for the ROM, I'm too new lol

ok
I think was a bad idea to flash that rom because is not exactly made for your phone one can damage a phone in this way never do like that !
about your stock rom...maybe this is a backup made by stock recovery ? do you have a recovery.img file in that update ? there is a single img file in that stock rom or more files ?

No I do not... I actually just found that stock image on another forum. File is called LG_Lucid_VS840_4g_system.img . I realize that was a horrible idea... Google kinda led me astray on that one lol. I just wanna figure out how to return it to stock. Or if anyone has a link for "Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant", that would be much appreciated.

but do you have a backup of your current rom on your sdcard ? It's made by stock recovery if so search for a file named recovery.img
here is the link to your phone check if this is really your phone also download usb drivers and software to update it from LG site
install USB drivers then download and run LG Mobile Support Tool this will connect to LG site download files and finally will request to connect phone to PC then will make update

What was the tool?
My vs840 won't allow me to flash a recovery how did you do it?
I was attempting to root and unlock my S3 tonight, I flashed the VRALEC.bootchain.tar.md5 and odin said it was done and had the reset! pop up. I shut down odin and waited for my phone to restart. It did not. Now i sit here with my S3 that will not turn on, the screen does not light, the led does not glow and i cant get it to enter odin/download mode or recovery. All i did was the first step and it broke. I've had this phone for 2 days please help me fix this...

When you flashed in odin, did you use pda? If not there's your fisrt mistake.
Please read forum rules
Questions and help issues go in Q&A
Thread moved!
Sorry i panicked and wrote this in the first forum i could find lol
but yes i used pda, i had Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checked as well
It doesnt turn on, no led, and it will not vibrate as i hold the power button (or any combo with the power button) to say its turning on and i just cant see anything either. Im literally getting no response from the phone.

This is a Verizon GS3? Hard bricks are fairly rare but the usual cause of hard bricks is wrong firmware (international gs3 vs. US) or an interrupted process. From what you typed, it seems like you did everything right. Shouldn't be a corrupt file either if the md5 checked out
yeah its a verizon s3, i followed the instructions to a T and im freaking out that i cant get it to even vibrate or hit recovery mode. i'd love to just reset it and try again with the root... i dont really care about anything on it, its practically new and there isnt really much on it anyways. so deleting stuff isnt an issue
Have you tried pulling the battery? I just ran though the whole process without a hitch.

The file should be VRALEC.bootchain.tar.tar you didn't extract it did you? See in the quote in red.

You can get the phone into download mode? If so, follow the thread I linked in post #9, download the files from that thread and follow the directions exactly. It will not brick you phone. I had just got done rooting and unlocking, using that guide, the other night when you posted this thread.

well that's 99.9% the problem right there.
when flashing things that could brick your phone, radios, recovery, ESP bootchain!
double check that MD5, but hey I've done the same, and now I ALWAYS check it on everything even little things, lesson learned the hard way for me.
glad you'll be getting new phone..
and for about flashing prob not, I have sent back 2 SG3's rooted with TWRP recovery, but that's me..
I even brought one to VZW and she was going to do a factory reset reading from the screen and it brought her to TWRP recovery LMAO! her and the manager looked at each other like WTF, and STILL gave me a brand new phone uotta the box.
Rather than start a new thread, I'm just going to bump this one. I had this same problem. I followed the instructions from the XDA article, along with the ones provided in DroidModd3rX's YouTube video exactly on my VZW GS3, build JZO54K. I hard bricked my phone. It only showed up in the Device Manager on Windows 8 as QHSUSB_DLOAD. It was stuck like that as soon as I flashed the VRALEC Bootchain. Is there something I've done wrong that I could have done differently to prevent it from happening? I had just purchased it the day before, so I was able to get a replacement, but I'm highly interested in rooting my device and want to ensure this doesn't happen again. Is it a problem with Windows 8, is it the build my phone is running on, or is it perhaps because I had USB Debugging checked on? I just find it odd that I had the same problem, and went through it the same day as the person who started this thread. And yes, I did check the MD5, it was fine.
Hey guys. me again................sadly. here's what happened. i placed a few custom roms on my sd card and tried to flash them unto my infuse 4G using the three finger salute with the factory wipe/cache wipe method. my phone is rooted(thanks a bunch to u guys) and i started getting E: signature verification failed or failed to verify the whole file with all of them. even my original update zip and recovery (3e). seemed just to not work. i rebooted and now i cant retrieve my backups,my wifi refuses to connect and continuous pop ups of whats not workin on my phone anymore are rampant....especially google play. even superuser even tho the app is there it shows errors as well. please tell me what to do to fix the problem......i really want to experience ics and jelly bean and im stuck wit gingerbread and it seems like i missed a step or a download somewhere. also recently my phones memory is being chewed up. jus like that i have 26,32 even 40 apps running. mind u i did not activate them......please help

sooo please tell me what going on right now, what is the state of your device, you are able to get into recovery correct? its not the stock recovery which is recovery 3e. it turns on but allot of the apps are not working. so since the signature verification failed, you are going to go to (this is assuming you have CWM NOT STOCK RECOVERY) install zip from sdcard then toggle signature verification, and try to reflash the rom you wanted and since the google play store isent working on your device you need to flash the gapps. it needs to be the version of android the rom you want to flash. (gingerbread roms dont need it but ICS and JB need it) just google gapps and look for the android version of what the rom is.

That's the second time you've insinuated I didn't read the thread. I can read perfectly well, thank you. At one point he let on he didn't know which recovery he had installed and then he let on he may have CMW. Unless you have something to actually contribute to this thread or a valid question, I'd appreciate it if we just don't communicate with each other. It's a waste of space, which drives up server costs and i don't much like you.

Hello guys,
I need your assistance with this issue. I got this Boost Mobile LG LS770/Stylo phone from eBay and when I wiped/restored it to clean everything from the other person, the phone still wants me to enter the information from the previous person before I can use it. Of course that is not an option. I tried.
Also, since I am unable to get to the Android OS, I cannot put it in debug mode either. So I tried a few things to no avail. This is what I have done so far:
Put the phone in ADB mode via recovery - Done, but I am unable to sideload anything. I get this error.. "* cannot read 'sideload' *"
Put the phone in download mode "Fireware Update" - Done, and I can see my port as COM3, but when I run the next step, I get a message that says... "Hello, my name is LAF....." and nothing happens.
I tried using the LG one click root tool, but that requires the phone to be in USB debug mode and like I said before, I am unable to even get to the welcome screen in android. I can't get past wifi setup in reality, I can't even skip it.
I have been at this all day today. Can you please help me out? I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks
You need a USB-OTG cable and some files. If you have a USB-OTG i'll reply with what you'll need to do. Also, have you contacted the eBay member letting them no they FRP screwed you and you basically own a brick now?

Also, I forgot to respond to your question. I did contact the eBay guy or lady that sold it to me, but since I'm the one that did the wipe, they are not taking responsibility and I get it.

Thank you for the suggestion , but this method does not work. I have already tried this and after the tool went through all the steps, it still asks for the previous account. I have found on some other forums that LG patched this flaw a few months ago and it is no longer possible to bypass FRP Factory Reset Protection. I guess I have a rock until someone can figure out how to bypass this "Feature", which in my opinion should be illegal because it forces people to buy devices from carriers only and you can no longer sell your phone online to anyone, as you cannot give them the account.

It didn't work for me either... the last security patch disabled user from the settings menu. I did find a way after many hours of work.
Basically once I got to settings I clicked unknown sources and then enabled USB debugging and oem unlock. After that I flashed twrp and then a rooted system image. After that I used http://androiding.how/bypass-google-account-verification-on-lg-g4-g3-and-others and it worked

I honestly don't remember. I'll try to figure it out and get back to you. I think it was through the keyboard. I returned the phone already so I do t have it on front of me.
Look for anything with terms of service. Once you're on the internet you can download the settings app that everyone uses on the internet.

Web trust me i went crazy with this for 3 days. My friend gave me his Stylo from work to unlock and i had this same issue. Flashed back to 5.1.1e,i,j, using kdz files and all the exploits that these guys are using have been shut down. If your on MM forget it. The only thing that worked for me was that tool i linked in the other thread. I hope your wrong on the virus part, ill check my laptop, but your the first person to mention that. Either way i flashed back to 5.1.1 from MM, used the tool, rebooted and it worked i signed in with his gmail.

I understand and I apologize if I sounded like I was shutting your advise down. That was not my intention. I was just stating what my virus tools detected and my experience. Regardless, I decided to ignore the virus warning and let the tool run and do what the steps on the word document stated. It went through all the steps without issues and I got the same matching screen as in the tutorial document. However, after I reboot, I still get the same screen that reads, login with a google account previously associated with this device.
Now, the one piece I'm not sure I understand from your message above is the part about flashing to 5.1.1 from MM using kdz files. How can you flash the phone when you cannot get into the settings to enable usb debug mode? I have tried everything. I even downloaded a rom file image that I placed on an Micro SD card and tried running it from recovery to no avail.
Maybe you are correct and I am just missing a step. Would you mind expanding on the flashing 5.1.1 from MM part? Maybe what steps and files you had to use?
Also, I'm not sure I understand this portion of your message. You signed in with who's gmail?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
is there a software older than 5.1.1 that can be flashed to the device?
You can use touch assistant to get in to settings and then disable all google aps, works for me on lg stylo 6.0, PaulieP he is the person that found this method
I installed Osmos Os 7.1.1 thru TWRP and when I did that I then went and flashed Aroma installer( probably not the best idea) and installed pretty much all the apps, which was stupid. Now I don't have root( and can't reroot via kingroot, it fails every time).
When I tried to get back into recovery I get the sleeping Android with the exclamation mark with the "No Command".
I just want to get back into recovery so I can restore my last backup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you get into download mode? If you can do that, ill upload the files you need to get your phone to a rooted functional state.
Yes I can , but, when I go into download mode on the while on the computer, it doesn't read download mode and that the drivers weren't installed correctly it detects that something was connected but goes straight to the drivers weren't installed correctly.... I feel like there's no hope with this phone, I'm stuck on a 7.1.1 rom with no root, no sim card detection and no recovery. Ugh!If you think you can get me into a rooted state, then awesome!

Thank you man, that would be greatly appreciated if you could send those files, just at a loss right now. I was actually looking at phones to buy if I couldn't get this fixed! But if you might have a solution then awesome, that would save me some money!

Your not stuck, its a soft brick, i once had that same driver problem. Give me some time to compile everything into a single zip for you to download with instructions. To fix your driver issue, ill include the lg g3 driver kit for you to install, it may still give a driver error, but youll just have to manually assign them and ill help you with that if it comes up.
Ok man, thanks, now what I didn't mention was that I can still boot up into Osmos Os, I just don't have recovery root or radio...It's like when I flashed Aroma and installed all those apps, it broke my recovery and root...I don't understand it. So is that still classified as a soft brick? Just can't do anything with trying to restore my last backup, which I still have in my TWRP folder, but with no recovery I can't restore it, along with the root issue...I mean I tried to reroot with Kingoroot and king root, but nothing. I'm hoping what you are providing me with will get me back up and running. Thank you again man. I do have ADB and fastboot working, just can't make things work in dl mode.

Yea, as long you can get into download mode, then its only a soft brick. The Stump Root apps is a collection of exploits and when in doubt it can sometimes use a brute force attack to gain root. Its how i rerooted my g3 after it got corrupt.
Ok cool, so is it different than the mobile version? Because I tried the mobile version and it instantly popped up with it saying that it can't root my phone.

Ok, then your phone is patched. So youll have to do the full restore and root. I sent the link in a PM
PM me if you need more help or if its successful or fails.
Never got the pm.

When the zip is done downloading, youll extract the folders and files and run through the guide I put in there.
Ok. Thank you, now on the computer, I can't login to XDA because my wife is signed into Google plus and it's her computer. I'll take the zip and transfer it to her desktop.
Alright man, I'm copying the zip over to the computer. Are you going to be on for a while in case I need you?
When I went into download mode the computer still didn't recognize it. It told me the drivers weren't installed successfully. When I unplugged the phone from the computer they automatically installed correctly.
Now when I went in to look at the device connected, there was a yellow exclamation mark, and it said that the drivers weren't installed correctly and it gave me a "Code(10)device cannot start". I'm so lost right now, please help me out man..Lol can it be done thru ADB? I know that I don't have download mode working so fastboot is out of the question. Ugh!

Now if reinstalling all the drivers doesnt work, Ill set up a guide to do a full cleaning of lg drivers and fresh install. The error codes your getting are apparently just outdated or corrupt drivers, so its not a lost cause, just a bump in the road that can be fixed.
Got it fixed!!! Back to stock rooted. Now I'm flashing super su. Now I can do that thru flashify right? You left out one major detail tho...I had to check Mark board, in LG flash tool...I was stuck in the factory reset 2 screen for like 2 hours until I finally had the computer recognize download mode again. But hey, that did do the trick!! Thank you very much man!!

Crap, sorry for the two hour headache but glad to hear you got it running. The guide for the restore was from another forum but its instructions are on a bunch of other sites and i forgot i had the same problem you did trying to figure out why it wouldnt recognize. So idk really know where to throw credit to, I just tried to compile everything to together for ya.

And i would suggest using flashfire. Flashify has been a headache on the g3 for me but no mattef what, make a backup first.
Hey, no problem man, you really helped out! And now because of that tutorial and the detail you put in, I have recovery and root again! It actually was really easy initially!
I had someone else help out before you, and we spent hours upon hours of trial and error to try and get me back to this state, now he suggested lg root tool but I told him I couldn't get DL mode working as well. So all in all, if it wasn't for people on this site helping each other out, none of us would have what we have now , or fix things on their devices.
Thanks again!:good:
My name is Ty by the way, what's yours?
