Help with fixing my phone (Please help)

I am going to give you the complete situation so you guys can help with the best of your ability. Over the summer I was at my Grandmas house with my cousins and we were playing Minecraft on the iPod and iPad. I knew that they had it in the Android market and tried to get it. No luck because it was not compatible with my device (Motorola Fire XT 530). I read up on a tutorial to get any app in the store and that was to change the build.prop settings to nexus x or something so I could get it. I rooted my phone and tried it but it screwed up my keyboard and an error occured on screen. So I went into this program I had and completely deleted the file(build.prop, still have a back up though). I tried to turn on the phone but it was stuck in a boot loop . So it is still in the boot loop and I cant turn on my phone.
Things I have tried so far:
1. Plugging it into my computer (wont show up)
2. Clearing my memory and cache in recovery mode (still wont turn on)
3. ADB (wont show up, not even in recovery mode)
4. Using this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920446 (Was able to get into the flash mode but MSM Flash 7227 wont install correctly for some reason (have updated drivers))
5. Cant use ODIN because my phone cant go into download mode
6. Using default recovery (not clockwork, dont think I can get it because I cant turn on phone) to update the file (didnt work because apparently Motorola locks there bootloader)
I dont think I left anything else out and am looking for a solution. I also have default recovery which may be an issue.
Thanks a lot for reading

First of all you cant use Odin to flash Motorola Devices because it is meant for Samsung phones.
Secondly answer these questions:
1. In PC which OS are you using?
2. Have you tried reinstalling RSD lite then rebooting?
Having stock recovery is no issue because you can't get any other in this phone.
It is easy to get it back working.
I suggest you to try some other PC.
OR
Follow these steps as in order.
1. Uninstall RSD lite.
2. Uninstall Motorola Drivers.
3. Now first install Motorola Drivers the RSD lite.
I think this may work for you.

I am using windows 7 on a laptop which may be the problem because it may be a hub not directly connected to the mother board. Thank you and I will try your suggestion.
Btw thanks for all your help over the last couple days.
I also used this on two other laptops but the MSM Flash still wont install for some unknown reason. So I dont think using RSD lite is the problem.

Here's the solution
I found the solution to your problem.
Download the attachment.
Extract it.
Copy the file in the extracted folder and paste it in C:/windows/system32/drivers
Reboot your PC
And yes you must connect it directly without any hub or something.
Actually these are the RSD lite drivers which I think your PC was unable to install correctly.

Okay I will try this when I get home from school. If this doesnt work could you try sending me the MSM Flash7227 driver?

So locate that to C:/windows/system32/drivers/the-file-i-gave-you
It will install its drivers.
OR
Alternate way is to install Motorola Software Update from here
It will install drivers automatically as it also needs phone to be switched in flash mode(i.e. through flash drivers) to update phone software.

This didnt work because to update drivers my computer has to recognize the phone which it cant. I would need the driver Flash MSM7227 for it to work. If you could find that EXACT file on your computer and send it to me that would be great. I tried the two things you stated but it says the phone is not connected so I cant download the updates.
This must be very frustrating for you but thanks for your help.

Sorry to say, but you kill boatloader of your phone. That mean msm7227 device.

Don't know about the problem.
Maybe 64-bit system.
And don't download moto update. Download and install only Moto software update "tool".
I sent you the same drivers. But I think the problem is my 32-bit system or your 64-bit.
No, I am not frustrated, don't worry. :laugh:

See yourself.
This is when my phone is connected in flash mode.

Okay well thanks for checking

Im thinking about getting another phone because this one is bust.
Im thinking about getting this phone again or getting the mytouch 4g non-slide.
Which one would be better?

Try this;
Be sure ported ics is installed.
Ready the gb rom with lg flash tool
Shut it down.
Remove the battery.
Ready the battery to be put back in.
Connect the usb cable while holding down volume +
Wait for the second connected sound.
When you hear it put the battery back in.
It should go into download mode with some korean s
uff on the screen.
Flashtool will take over and flash the gb.
What we did is we skipped omapboot because the device is already able to enter the download mode , therefore not really bricked...
The guide is for bricked devices that cannot go into download mode.
Good Luck

If you're stuck in the LG logo then it should be able to enter the download mode.
Find a bin rom or kdz other than v21e then flash it , see if it works.
Also could be because of Win 7 or x64 , mine was XP.
Create another partition install xp in there and dual boot to Xp.
I did this and mine downgraded.

The clicking at the right arrow is just a reference to the normal way you activate the flash with lgflashtool.
I just suggested a secure way to flash, in case your flash goes not fine.
Last message when you are flashing baseband must be "Invalid ap path" and after you flash the bin file must be target resetting or reset.

We are talking here about o3ds that wont boot after installing gb...i have 2 o3d one of them downgraded successfully with lg flash tool but the other one just doesnt boot after flashing it with lg flash tool
And the flashing proccess finishes correctly but the phone doesnt boot up not even lg..but if i flash ics it works perfectly and biits normally..i tried both smartflash and lg kdz flash but i just cant downgrade

Once again I must remind to all of you that this method of downgrading/resurrection won't work for everyone. There are "a few" devices that need a different bin file so if you are "certain" that you did everything right but your phone doesnt start with BOOTV21E and only starts with ported ICS you need that specific bin (which is not available because nobody who had the same problem made it).

Technically is a matter of board revision, sector of memory or similar issue?

Don't know cause I never had the chance to troubleshoot it or spend some time on a device with this specific problem so anything I say will be wrong.

Well I am sure I have done every thing right I flashed bootv21e more than 9 times yesterday with different scenarios ...and tried 21e kdz and tried using smart flash but still can't boot the device ...but once I flash ice the device boots properly..
.I think the problem is in the partition because when boot21e is installed and won't boot I tried wpkark alternate boot and boot.king won't flash due to partition doesn't exist.. and recovery flashes but also never starts it just shows loading and the device turns off ...SO I THINK THE PROBLEM IS IN THE PARTITIONS ..any ideas will be help full and I will try them..

How to: universally manually update all LG leon varients

This Guide as the title suggest is universal & how we will be "manually" upgrading our LG leon OS from 5.0.x to 5.1.x is by flashing a kdz file.
YES, it's very simple & easy to do. I created a step by step guide written & also pictures will be available as well.
This guide is NOT just about upgrading as it can also be used to fix your bootloop/brick lg leon if need be. But if you flash a kdz file with a newer firmware it MAY or NOT be able to flash it back to its earlier version, BUT I haven't tested that theory out yet.
The reason why I'm making this guide is because to make a "one stop shop" & also to keep other threads free of cluttered up messages that probably are outdated now from my other crappy guide that I posted on such threads.
WARNINGS
I'm NOT responsible in ANY way if you brick, break, slap, crap, toss, or any damages to your LG leon device
By using this guide your lg leon WILL be reseted so you WILL lose your data so back it up before you try this method
REQUIREMENTS
A WINDOWS COMPUTER RUNNING WINDOWS 7, 8, OR 10
(PICTURES WILL SHOW A WINDOWS 10 PC)
TOOLS IN FIRST STEP
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
STEP 1: PLEASE DOWNLOAD & INSTALL THE FOLLOWING PROGRAMS & kdz file​
LG United Mobile Driver 3.14.1
LG Flash tool 2014 (build 03/07/2014)
PLEASE MAKE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE CORRECT KDZ FILE FOR YOUR DEVICE
LG Leon variants kdz list
LG Leon 4g LTE Variants kdz list
STEP 2: After the tools are installed​
1. Remove the battery and put it back in.
2. Hold the Volume Up button (ONLY) while connecting to USB Cable
3. The Volume up button needs to be held until it reaches download mode
4. Open device manager and changed the LGE Mobile USB Serial port to COM 20
by right clicking on LGE mobile & select properties
click the tab named port settings & click advance
there is a drop down box called com port number....select com 20

STEP 3: FLASHING IN DOWNLOAD MODE!​
1. Open the Flash Tool
2. Select Type: 3GQCT
3. PhoneMode: EMERGENCY
4. SELECT THE KDZ FILE THAT YOU DOWNLOADED
5. Click on Normal Flash
6. Click on Clear update registry
7. Country: different country
8. PLEASE CHOOSE YOUR LANGUAGE
9. Click okay and wait for the LG Mobile Support tool to recognize the device. It takes a minute or two but the tool will recognize it. The software starts the extraction and re-boots at %100. You can remove USB cable ONCE ITS RESTARTS & your device will boot normally, and the device is no longer stuck in a boot loop.
ALSO it has happen to me too often that the program WILL freeze & ask to be close
DON'T CLOSE IT OR STOP ITS PROCESS IN THE TASK MANAGER & IF YOU DO IT YOU WILL END UP WITH A LOVELY NEW PAPER WEIGHT!!!!
SIDE NOTE:
Please double check the kdz file that you are downloading from the firmware software version in about phone(software info) as the two will NEED to be different in order for you to upgrade your LG leon.

Hello! I have a 340n variant

First tell which LG device you are using...so I can clarify specific steps
secondly...what are you trying to achieve in terms of using this guide: ie restoring to factory reset, down/up/grade?/etc/
thirdly....did you install a custom recovery or unlocked the bootloader?
fourth...did you follow the guide to the letter?
_____
Are you not able boot into recovery/download mode & which specific errors do you receive?

phone lgk7 no recovery download mode and it starts upgrading device then stops and tells me to contact system admin so i rooted with kingoroot then went to google play installed supersu updated the binary it ask to reboot so i did then the phone got stuck on the metro pcs screen wont boot also i used adb-fastboot to unlock bootloader i cant get stock recovery its like its not there i can get download mode but like i said it goes from downloading after checking windows to upgrading device for about a second then tells me to contact system admin

Help! My AT&T LG G3 D850 is soft bricked and I am stuck with errors in LG FlashTool

Help! My AT&T LG G3 D850 is soft bricked and I am stuck with errors in LG FlashTool
Background: I found my phone frozen with the screen turned off so I decided to restart it by taking the battery out. When I turned it back on I found out that it was stuck in a bootloop. So I tried to do a hard factory reset hoping it would fix it but it was still stuck. The only thing I recently did to this phone was update the OS to marshmallow few days ago using the software update option in settings (so not rooted). ATT or LG wont do anything to fix it because warranty has expired... only option is to try and fix it myself
So I tried flashing the original firmware using this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64624324&postcount=2) but I kept getting this error

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I tried using the LGUP8974.dll (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63266194&postcount=84) as was suggested here (https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/3ov9x6/need_help_lg_flashtool_model_information_check/) but now I get this error after 6%
I've been trying these tot and dll files from multiple sources in case the files I downloaded were corrupted, and have been searching for answers for few days but I can't find anything relevant. I don't know where to go from here, and any help or redirection to where I can find help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone? I need to know if I should just move on and get a new phone or if I can fix this

Let me try to help you, but first of all you will have to tell me, the real position of your device now, i mean how is it behaving, at what screen is it stopped and what can you see if you want to start it?
you may need this kind of help if needed! http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/

I got the same error until I ran the Flash Tool in Windows 7 compatibility mode. FYI, the latest version as far as I know is 1.8.6.527.

When I start the phone, the LG logo appears and it stays there indefinitely with the blue/green led flashing on top. I am able to get into recovery (where the only option is to do a factory reset) and download mode, and that's why I didn't think my phone was hard bricked. The link you recommended seems to detail a fix for hard bricked devices.

I tried the compatibility mode with my version and with the 1.8.6.527 but I still get the same errors. The only difference I noticed with the compatibility mode was that all ports except Port 1 (COM41) get disabled.

All the other ports will be disabled except COM41, that's normal. It might have been coincidence when I enabled compatibility mode.
Make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port as 3.0 ports seem to cause issues. Also plug it in directly to a port on the back of your PC tower not the front ports or a hub (if applicable).

Still erring

I made sure I was using the USB 2.0 ports. Even double checked in the device manager to see that it was plugged into the correct port. I get the same errors

I'm starting to wonder if this really is a hard brick... I'm just afraid of diving into some unnecessary process and risk creating more problems if this is not the case of hard brick.

Try different USB cables and a different PC if you can. It's not a hard brick if you can access recovery and download mode.
You also might want to try LGUP since you last had the MM update.

Please don't hijack the thread. Your issue is quite a bit different than the OP's.
Start your own thread with a descriptive topic title and folks will be more inclined to help you. Screenshots and/or exact error messages would help, too. Also, run-on sentences don't help.

So I went ahead and tried this on another PC. Made sure everything was right - USB 2.0, original cable for G3, win 7 compatibility mode. I still get the same error for both .dll files as I had previously.
What do you mean by LGUP though? Are you referring to the LGUP8974.dll?

LGUP as in the newer Windows program as opposed to the LG Flash Tool. Check the Back To Stock thread in LG G3 General.

The LGUP uses KDZ and only supports the D855 model. I have the D850 (AT&T) model. That said, I had tried that method prior to posting on here asking for help and it didn't work. I tried flashing the D855 firmware on my D850 hoping it would at least let me start the phone so I can root it and install TWRP or some other recovery so I can re-flash it back to the original firmware.
Edit: I doubt that my problems right now are caused by this risky method, because the flashing was interrupted at 6% similar to the TOT method. Also, I had these problems before I even tried the LGUP

I went through the same thing. Got Marshmallow and then looking for root got got that Kingroot. Got root but it was temporary and everytime I rebooted I had to rerun that frigging Kingroot. So there is an application that supposedly removes Kingroot and lets SuperSU take over and of course it hosed my phone totally.
The final solution was finding the correct dll file since there are a bunch of them floating around. Literally downloaded about five different ones and finally found one that worked. PM me your email and I will send it to you if you want to try it.

If you are running MM You MUST use LGUP... LGUP works with ALL models.

So I guess I was thinking of a different tool earlier. Anyways I tried flashing using LGUP and using the "REFUBRISH" option, I get the same error as I had with the LGFlashTools -- erase command failed at 6%. So I tried the "UPGRADE" option and, to my excitement, the progress bar went up to 100% and the phone rebooted. So I waited for it to boot up.... and nothing. I waited for a while and it's still stuck in the same state as it was before flashing. I plugged it back in download mode and LGUP detects the phone with version D85030K which after a quick google search I realized was the MM version(?) It seems like even though the progress bar went up to 100% nothing was actually done...
BTW I'm using the LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014+0.tot file so I'm not flashing MM on it

Yup, using the cable that came with the phone. Haven't tried a different computer though... will try that now.

Not sure where to go from here...

I think I killed my brand new phone

I've been running the crDroid OOS 10 OB3 ROM since I got my phone two weeks ago and everything was fine and I updated to OB4 today. Well, after I tried changing system ui themeing my phone stopped displaying any system ui at all so I tried to restore my nandroid backup. My nandroid backup took 4 hours then when it got to bluetooth my battery was dying so I had to stop it.
I rebooted into TWRP and tried to clean flash the rom but it gave me errors about mounting the data partition so I tried changing slots.
Well after I changed slots I am stuck in fastboot mode and can't get back to TWRP and adb wont recognize my phone. There's no bootloader or baseband version displayed on fastboot and the product name/variant is msmnile/SDM UFS, my phone is still unlocked if it matters. Someone in the ROM telegram suggested I try the MSM tool but my phone doesn't seem to want to boot into Qualcomm mode and I'm worried that might be a big issue.

Hi!
I really don't know if this helps because you might have already tried it, but I had a similar problem where the normal fastboot mode didnt work and I had no Recovery. Someone suggested, that I should hold Volume Up, Volume down and the Power button all at the same time and from there I was able to revive the phone with the All-In-One Tool...
I quickly looked up the Qualcomm Mode and MSM-Tool you mentioned but I'm still not sure if that is what I just described, so Im posting this just to make sure you tried it because it was a really easy fix when I thought I bricked my phone
Sorry if you already did it, anyway Good Luck!

Well see the issue is I'm trying to get All in One to recognize my phone but it won't seem to boot into EDL mode. I installed the Qualcomm USB drivers but it's still not showing my phone. When I use the key combo suggested to boot into EDL mode my phone does refresh in device manager giving me the qualcomm device so I assume this is download mode just not displaying the text anymore. If i try the key combo with my phone unplugged it takes awhile but eventually goes into fastboot.

In this case I can't help you, i googled EDL, it is what I meant and it was all I got :-/
Wish you good luck

If your bootloader is unlocked try to flash the fastboot rom from fastboot.

what the problem u are facing while flashing from msm tools?

If you haven't fixed your phone yet just use MSMtool it will fix it, this phones essentially unbrickable.

I installed the qualcomm drivers and it showed up in MSM tool and gave me success after 6 seconds but nothing else happened so I unplugged my phone now it says device descriptor failed when I try to go into qualcomm mode
If i uninstall the drivers and try again same thing and trying to use the qualcomm driver files tells me my driver is already up to date

Well you need to hit start once it's connected. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/msm-tool-guac-t3934691 follow the instructions there with the phone being unplugged and powered off open msm hold volumes while not hitting power at all and wait then plug into the computer.

During Installing drivers again choose the option (something of) search from internet. And let the file be downloaded and install. Trust me this method works. I too had same problem

Okay I got the descriptor issue to stop and MSM is detecting the phone again but its still not booting to anything when I run the tool like the guide said it should. I do upgrade mode right?

Your file does the same thing
The connection status switches to N/A but if i stop it and enum it still detects the phone
I used the drivers provided in your link and it still doesnt seem to work
that status bar at the bottom says Running: Upgrade though but thats just an indicator of the job task, no?

So it sounds dumb but try rebooting your computer and switching USB ports then trying again.
