Have you installed OMAP drivers properly?
Open Device Manager on your PC and search for OMAP4430 (it connects and disconnects continuously) so, quickly double click on it and chose update driver. Select browse my computer for driver software > then go to usb_drv_windows folder in OS_HACKING tool then press Next. Wait till the driver installs.
After that, run the AIO Tool and follow onscreen instructions. You should now be able to enter Fastboot mode and flash your phone.

Dear Bro!
I've flashed, unbrick, made my Lg p920 dualboot several times before but now I have problem and need u advice.
Yesterday, when I was playing a game it suddenly turn off, and turn on to the lg logo and go off. At the first time I just think its the error came from the game so I tried to press power button to turn it on but no success.
After awhile I plug power cable in and the phone turned on and boot smoothly in to the ICS, but this time I realize that power button is not function anymore.
Up to now, My phone is:
Power button dont work.
If I want to turn it on I must plug the power cable in and It boot completely to the ICS(when I put in battery the phone is wake up and boot to lg logo and go off).
I tried to install Omap driver several time but no success, There isnt Lg United Mobile port in device manager to change the port to com41.
I cant boot in to flashmode to flash but can go to TWRP (via a software in android - restart to TWRP option)
My power button physically situation is good (I mode build.pro to wake my phone up by camera button 2 years ago and it work well up to now with no problem) Therefore, I think the problems should be errors in bootloader or kernel , xloader so I think if I could flash them via TWRP may be solve.
Could u please help me?

XDA member Zogu made a thread quite a while ago. Here it is:

There you will find Wkpark's bootloader as a flashable zip that you can flash in TWRP. You said that you are an experienced user so I take it that you can also find and flash a kernel compatible with your ROM.
To be honest, from your description, I don't think any of the above will help you (but you can try, if you want). I believe that your power button is stuck to "pressed" state. If you could spray it with some contacts cleaner while repeatedly pressing and releasing it, you might get it to work again.

won't get into fastboot
hay i have GB and i want to install wkparks bootloader , but the problem i couldn't get into fastboot i had fallowed the guide but at the end it dosn't show silver LG but the touch buttons is on and when trying to flash the bootloader just show waiting for device after selecting "flash bootloaders" , i'm on win7 64bit and using v1.3 .
photos in attachments shows what i get when trying to install the bootloader
so any help i'll by pleasured

Hi guys
Does anyone know what is the best course of action to revive an lg p920 running stock ICS and died after twrp 2.3.3.0 was flashed via twrp manager from the market.
The screen went black and phone completely dead now.
I just ordered a factory cable on eBay and wondering whether to flash kdz or is there another fix that I can flash to revive it?
Cheers..

Solved
Even with factory cable, windows 10 PC was my problem.
I flashed kdz on a different PC running windows 7 and all is working fine.

[Q] Can only boot by plugging charger????

Hi
Can anyone help please? Also, are there anyone having similar issue.
Issue: Pressing the power button is not starting my device. In order to power on I have to connect charger (not usb with PC) and then press power button. What I have noticed is that once I switch off my phone it gets in to "emergency/recover mode". I came to this conclusion because after I switch the phone off, take battery out and put back in and then connect usb cable with my PC. I can see OMAP driver loads and also in the PC's Device Manager I am able to see LG CDMA.... under "ports".
It was not like this until i started several attempts to flash baseband.
Sequence of actions
Here is the sequence of actions I went through and end up having my phone at this stage
1. Followed the procedure (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17177547&postcount=2) step by step using LG flash tool. The application was constantly crashing (PC is running on XP pro). Before flashing baseband I flashed GB hence I lost radio.
2. To bring back my radio I had to reflash 2.2 following the same procedure (emergency recovery method) in the link given in baseband flashing.
3. After finishing the recovery flash I could not start my phone using power button. I started thinking that I bricked my phone. I left it for a day. Then I thought that the battery is fully drained and is the reason for not powering on. When I connected charger I started seeing LG logo and also the phone was started. I was more excited and happy that my phone was not bricked. After this point I need charger connected everytime when i want switch on my phone. so, I am scared to swtich off my phone unless I have charger handy to me.
4. I removed all the application (LG flashing related) including LG drivers I installed before. Now I reinstalled all the necessary app and drivers for baseband flashing. This time baseband flashing was done successfully (though at 22%). Then I flashed GB rom and everything works fine.
The only issue i have is, I can not switch on my phone without charger connected.
If anyone knows solution please help me.
Thanks in advance.

I used to have the same problem,
I think its a problem about boot,
when I use lg tools it always gives error, because phone wont boot without charger, so it cant continue upgrading
I try flasing original kdz file from lg flash tool, and use emergency rescue mode,
I dont know but it somehow repair the boot
you can fix permissions before you use lg tools.
what error do you have while using lg tool?
can you post the screen capture

After i uninstalled all the drivers (incl. LG tools) and reinstalled and I am not seeing any more error while using LG tools. I even flashed GB baseband twice but no use. The link you have given explains the same issue I have.
I think you have to install froyo version of baseband and firmware first,
then try

How to unbrick or overcome any flashing error no matter what it is

HI FELLOWS, JUST A HINT
here is the most easy and straight-forward way I discovered to unbrick or overcome any flashing error no matter what it is (it applies to lg o3d, and thrill 4G, I think it will apply to their fellows)
1-you must have drivers installed of-course
2-remove your battery
2-open your pc device manager and look at COM and PORT section
3-hold volume up button (only) and connect your mobile to pc through USB while pressing this button, and keep pressing until you see a new port has been added and installed in your COM and PORT section (about 15-20 sec), now you can release the button, be sure that port will stay apparent after releasing the button, or repeat this step (with longer press on volume up button)
4-put your battery back and don't touch your phone again
5-now start flashing by following these 2 tutorials in order:

Bricking and restoring from a bad flash are 2 completely different things, This method will restore from a bad flash it will not however recover a bricked phone.
You need to change the title to the following:
"How To Fix Bad Flashes And Softbricks"
Unbricking is not always possible.
It's only possible with a soft brick.
Hard bricks are obviously what they sound like. Paperweights. xD

[Q] LG G2 Bricked, help please :(

Okay guys, this used to be a "Omg i bricked my phone help me" question thread. But I unbricked my phone and now its amaaazing
So if u got the same problem here u go:
First lets analyze the problem:
I got LG G2 d802 (international)
Rooted it with IORoot25r
I got TWRP 2.7 on it
I entered the recovery mode from ROM manager
I wiped all data, but forgot that no rom was on my device.
So the device froze at LG logo.
When trying to reboot, the device would just freeze again there.
SO HERE IS WHAT I DID:
Device was on LG logo
I pressed Power ON/OFF button and Volume Down button (hold it)
I released them when the mobile restarted and I saw the LG logo again.
Then I immidiatly repressed and hold the power ON/OFF button and Bolume Down button. This will cause the device to enter RECOVERY MODE.
In the TWRP (Team Win recovery Project) menu (the TWRP menu is the recovery mode), I pressed on turn system off (not sure where it is, but I think it in the Reboot section)
So the device is OFF atm.
I kept pressing volume down and then I plugged the usb stick in, this will cause the device to go in DOWNLOAD mode.
Once in that mode, all you have to do is follow the thread that was linked by scholastova underneath (first reply).
(PS -> since I have less than 10 posts, i can't post links )
TheGreatWhitePolarBearKin said:
Hello everybody,
so I got a lg g2 international version (d802). I rooted my phone with IOroot25r1.
I installed rom manager and updated the CWM. Later I wanted to download Omnirom, in the thread it said that TWRP was succesfull and CWM wasnt tested. (THREAD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2668564)
So I searched on the internet and I downloaded the apk called Autorec. It automatically installs TWRP.
So i went into the recovery mode and wiped everything I could. After that I noticed that I forgot to put the ROM on the phone (retarded me).
So i tried to reboot, because the phone wasn't showing up on my PC. ABD didnt find the device either.
(I said SO alot of times, sorry for that )
I am now stuck at booting. When booting I see the LG logo and the LED turning colors but it won't start, neither will it turn off, it will just restart if I keep pressing the power on/off button on the back. Holding all buttons will get me into a menu where it gives me a couple options:
Off
On
Cancel
Answer Call
Stop Alarm
I can't get to answer Call or Stop Alarm. And if i press Off, On or Cancel it will simply freeze and stay there forever. Then all i can do is hold off-on button again and get back to the non-stop lg logo.
I cant enter recovery or the phone, neither does it show up in abd.
HELP ME PLEASE. I HAVE TRUST IN YOU

I tried the first step with the KDZ, didn't work The program gives the error "plug phone in". Basically it doesn't recognise the phone.
Also I think I kinda know the situation now. I have 0 roms and 0 backups. ABD sideload won't work (no idea why). My only chance is mounting, Hope that will work. But is there any other method? (PS i also tried the .TOT method, didnt work also).

[Completed] Lg g3 download mode not working.

Hi everybody there. Am facing a huge problem on my LG G3. I don't know exactly what LG G3(Verizon,Sprint or whatever) it is. I am Malian (West African) and the phone was working fine. One morning it just didn't turn on normally. when I turn it on the sceen lights up and won't even progress to LG logo. Just a dimmed screen with black background. When I hold Vol+ down and plug the phone to my laptop it brings me to recovery mode with the red danger panel on the android logo. From there I can access recovery mode by clicking on the Power key. I see the different options(reboot system now,apply update from ADB etc.) To resolve it,I referred to a former threat . I downloaded Europe Common 16G D85510A_00.kdz ( hope this matches my 16GB G3) from a previous thread and tried to apply it thru LG flash tool 2014 but it's impossible because of,I think,the absence of download mode. I also tried holding down Vol- and plugging the phone. Drivers are installed but when I begin flashing the Lg support tool pops up and says phone is not connected.Briefly let's say that Recovery mode works but not download mode. Please help!!!: confused

PLEASE HELP! Very concerned have hard bricked phone!

Hi Guys,
So the story is that I was updating my Xperia Z3 (details below) from TWRP 2.8.6 to 'twrp-3.0.2-0-yuga' using the instructions androidnewsbox.com/2016/02/08/how-to-install-and-update-to-twrp-3-0-0 and after flashing the new TWRP the phone can no longer enter recovery mode and I get no other booting/loading screens.
I had 100% battery when I started the process.
It does still do the little vibrate thing when I hold down the power button but nothing happens after that.
When I plug it into the PC the LED flashes red, then green then goes off.
Reading the instructions twrp.me/devices/sonyxperiaz.html I did use the 'install' function not the 'recovery' function. Is that likely to be the mistake I made? If so is there any way to recover?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
Model: D6653
Previous TWRP: 2.8.6
Android version: 5.0.2
Software version: 23.1.A.0.726
Use flashtool to reflash a new system image (ftf). You're using stock so probably your kernel doesn't support FOTA-Kernel partition flashing.
Great to hear back from someone.
Unfortunately I don't think that I can just flash a new ftf using flashtool as I cant get into fastboot mode.
I have been working through the following online tutorial
engineerthink.com/blog/2015/11/how-to-unbrick-hard-bricked-android-phone/
I have installed the USB drivers on my PC from here
androidmtk.com/download-sony-xperia-usb-driver
And i can get the ftf file from here (mine is 1288-6090)
xpericheck.com/device/D6653
Unfortunately I am unable to put the phone into fastboot mode by holding down the power and down buttons. Nothing happens.
The tutorial above also tells me "If phone not going to Fastboot mode than connect it to PC by USB. Hold Volume Up and Power button until you get company logo or backlight."
This also does nothing and I get no backlight or company logo.
FYI if it helps about a year ago I rooted my phone using a tutorial very similar to this
oneandroid.gs/root-xperia-z3/
I will keep working on the problem and post any updates as they come up.

First hard shut down your phone by using combo, after that, download the ftf for your phone (1288-6090 is the customization, what you need is an ftf that its compatible with your phone model, download flash tools, install the drivers that come with it, and using xperifirm (Included in flashtools) you download the firmware) After you have all settled up, proceed to flash your phone, select firmware and then it'll ask you to connect your phone in flash mode not fastboot mode, you can do that by pressing vol up + power (press them and while pressing them connect the usb to the pc). Then the flashing process will start. You can find many tutorials around here in xda. Do not use external tutorials, go find stuff here. It's way more reliable as many are made just for your phone.
Hi and thanks again.
This gives me plenty to learn about and go forward with thanks heaps.
I will give this process a go later today but I have a few questions if you dont mind.

I am not familiar with any combo and without visual ques from the screen or LED I cant tell if it is off. I have a button that says 'off' near the sim card is that sufficient?

Yes that one, If you press it enough (about 5-10 secs) the phone will shutdown and It wont try to restart. This is what you need first.

No, only when connecting the phone to start flashing the system software, you will see a green light in the notification led that will then shut off and flashing process will start.

This is a great almost-up-to-date guide http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/03/1...peria-lollipop-using-xperifirm-and-flashtool/
XperiFirm is included in flashtools now so you don't have to download it, but to get your firmware you have to do the same steps but opening xperifirm from inside flashtool.
You can download flashtool here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php
Seems to be a success!
Thanks heaps for all your great assistance.
Did you get the Z3 D6653 going again?
Hi H3llcat,
Jumping through some hoops with the D6653 myself... did you get it to boot up? Not sure how far you went with it, if still an issue charge it back up and let's try a couple of things; I realize it'll just be sitting there all dumb and dark like, but do it anyway. So let us know.

Reading the instructions twrp.me/devices/sonyxperiaz.html I did use the 'install' function not the 'recovery' function. Is that likely to be the mistake I made? If so is there any way to recover?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if this is worth mentioning but this thread is 2 years old.
Yes I did get everything working, xkeita was a great help and the guide he sent me was useful.
Have you got issues yourself?
