well i tried to post to the correct place but the site wouldn't let me cause i just signed up. (here is where i tried to post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848737&page=19 ) that's the fix and rescue guide.
Well anyway i have a Vibrant galaxy s and i tried to flash it with the clockwork recovery long story short i "bricked" it so i got odin flashed it to 2.2 and now the phone boots up just fine but now i can't access the SD card my pc won't see the phone and i also have no signal with the phone so i can't access the android market to download ROM manager.
i have been reading the forums for about 4 hours now and i'm kinda at a loss.
if anyone has any incite on this any help would be appreciated.
flashed with PDA_T959UVKB5
usb drivers installed
I am not an expert on the vibrant by any means, But I have loaded multiple roms and reverted to stock on my captivate which is the same family.
First thing is to make sure you have the correct image for the vibrant to load via odin or heimdal.
My thought is the image is not correct. The image, when loaded via odin, can change the boot loaders. This can make the internal devices and usb not work. It is possible the USB drivers are now different based on the image you loaded. Try the generic drivers in the Android SDK.
If your sure the image is correct, I would try loading it again.
I have an LG Optimus Net LGL45c which I had installed CWM recovery on and flashed to stock using these instructions. Due to the way the /system/app/mover app works ( No second chances ) and my fat fingers I had to flash it again because I broke bluetooth and can't see the apps once they are moved into /data/app with the Root Browser Lite app even though I can get into the folder. Anyway, so this time it said completed and I selected back and then reboot system in CWM recovery, but it's hung on the LG screen. I can't seem to get Odin to see the phone or find any drivers that Windows XP recognizes to install for the phone. I've ran the file LGAndroidDriver_Ver_1.0_All.exe and installed those to no avail apparently, though unlock root was able to root it before, so I'm a little confused as to why Odin can't detect it, if I can't flash it without using CWM recovery it looks like it's reached it's end of life, as a phone anyway. Please, does anyone know how to flash this phone using Odin from a XP PC that would be willing to point me in the right direction? I have Odin and the stock rom from the link above but I can't get Odin to see the phone.
Thanks for any help.
So, here's the story: I wanted to root my d850 on LP version D85021R, Tried all methods posted here, including this, this, and this. None worked. So I decided to downgrade to KK using tot/kdz method by hyelton. Downloaded LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014+0.tot file and LG flash tool 1.8.x and flashed the tot file. Progress went above 85% and then phone rebooted, but never came back to life; super-bricked, no led, no boot screen, no download mode, no recovery mode, NOTHING! except that it identified as QHUSB_BULK in Win7, which upon installation of drivers turned to qhsusb_dload 9008. Tried all unbricking methods including Board Diag, Flashtool ,etc. none worked. So I took it to a repair guy, who probably used octopus box to copy image from another g3 (at least that's what I think, he would not let me see but i sort of glanced over). After copying that image to my g3, it turned back to life, i.e., boot screen appeared and download mode/recovery mode worked, but it was in a boot loop. however, that guy also tried flashing V10D using flashtool, and same thing happened, i.e., super-brick again. After a day of trying he gave up on it but was kind enough to give it back half alive. So now boot screen appears, download mode works, gets recognized as LGE Mobile USB Serial Port, and LGE Android MTP Device with a yellow triangle. I cannot access fastboot mode due to locked bootloader, or else I would have tried flashing partition images through fastboot, as bootloader and boot partitions are intact, so I would not touch them but could try flashing other partitions. LG Flashtool flashes the whole package so the boot sector also gets over written, which somehow is not compatible with stock rom. One thing which I have not mentioned is that I did not buy it new but refurb one, so may be some part was changed, but which one, no idea. I tried to get it recognized it in linux, but does not work; shows up as libmtp-1-1 in /dev, which is not mountable. However I was able to pullout one interesting fact, which might give some hint. dmesgs shows a serial number for this device which starts as LGD855xxxxxxx, whereas the serial number printed on the back is different, where it shows as d850 and serial number is also different, i.e., 406KPXVxxxxxx.
Now I am out of options. Can someone please suggest what else to do. Also, can someone confirm that the serial number shown in dmesgs when connected to USB port, starting with LGD855xxxxxx can be a d850?
Any help is welcome
First off when flashing almost every time it'll fail at 85%. That's normal. Anything after80% is just rebooting of the phone.
Now what your having is not normal. Maybe whatever the repair shop did changed the serial? And your issue usually means your bricked completely sadly.
Before your downgraded, was your phone booting normally or did the root do something to make it originally boot loop before trying to downgrade ?

Thanks for replying hyelton. I fully understand that and also that rebooting should bring the phone to blue reset screen, but it didn't. Instead it died.
The serial number and IEMI fortunately are intact, and are read by firmware when present. Sadly I tried to flash the firmware again through Board DL option, but failed again, so back to QLoader 9800 mode. On WinXP, smart boot diagnostics recognized it and proceeded to flash boot/recovery, but sadly the accompanied AP_Chip file neither has D850 nor D855 Smart_Boot.bin files. So I flashed EUR xxxx.xxx version. Phone still dead, but no Qloader 9800 mode, instead Android Phone device started showing up, which had no supported drivers. After some effort, Windows 7 download drivers and it got recognized as AlCatel Android Phone, lol! No adb and fastboot in Windows, and no Serial communication was possible. I tried linux and there fastboot was showing a device without id, like ??????????, but it did allow me to flash individual mbn paritions extracted from D850 tot to their respective partition, but I discovered I cannot flash through fastboot files larger than 2GB, so no system and no userdata; those were erased only. Upon reboot and return to windows, phone is still dead (without any life) and back to Qloader 9800 mode.
So now I'm stuck due to lack of firmware files. I am afraid to flash a boot or recovery partition extracted from any other firmware, but can try D855 since it worked partially to bring download/recovery partitions and LG logo was also displayed upon turning on. I think it even booted basic kernel in download mode, because I was able to send reboot command through Send_Command.exe and it rebooted. So scripting was also a possible option, but not anymore.
Is the partition layout of D850 and D855 available somewhere? I tried to find but could only find for D851. If someone having these variants is willing to help, I'll post the commands to get partitions layout, or even partition images could be created using dd command if phone is rooted.
To your question, no, the rooting methods did nothing. It was working normal. But somehow I came across a lot of threads that suggested hassle-free downgrading to KK for rooting, and pointed to your guide which surely is hassle-free but not for a troubled phone like mine
BTW, I do have Flashtool log files for original downgrade and then reflashing yesterday. If someone wants to take a look...
Further development: Today I visited the main mobile market in my city, and first went to same shop from where I bought this set. They had a number of other sets in the same batch, so I copied partition tables info and prop files from each device. Also, I had to buy the same set for a friend. I have asked him to lend it over to me for weekend. Now, first I'll try to find the rom versions installed on these sets and see what I can do.
Secondly, is there a way I can copy the whole emmc partitions from alive phone to dead phone? The dead phone can be accessed on serial port. I know I can get partition dumps, but how to write them on bricked phone, that is the question. There must be a software that can access emmc through phone ports and clone it. Help please!

Flash it to D855 Lollipop version via octopus than write DUMP
It does work, indeed. We did it together, didn't we, aamszia?
To elaborate further, Aamir helped me out by writing D855 bootloader through octopus box. That was done before but flashing a KK rom again bricked it. Only this time, he flashed a d855 lollipop kdz rom (v20g, if I remember correctly). That made it functional; everything worked, except radio. Flashing a d850 LP radio would not work; flashing a KK radio would brick it. So I took a dump of mmcblk0 from a fully functioning, rooted, recovery flashed LP d850, via terminal using dd command (I chose to write only first 4gb or so due to smaller sdcard I had. That covered all partitions except cache and userdata, which were not needed anyway). Then I wrote back the dump on the bricked d850 using dd command from terminal. I tried flashing TWRP on it first, but somehow it did not work, and gave secure bootloader error. So I had to do it via terminal. I knew once it starts writing, the system would become unstable due to overwriting of partition table, kernel, system, and stuff, but I had to give it a try, and it worked! Screen went off immediately, but I touched it again after half an hour; pulled out and reinserted the battery; tried recovery and there it was. Rest was easy. Just formatted cache and data, and my phone was back to life.
Guys, would need your help. I have installed a rom modification on my G Flex 2 H955 and upon flashing thru flashfire I am stuck with bootloop. Of course I have system.img backup done - but in ma laptop and I am not able to push it thru the LG_Root app. If it were left on my internal storage then it would be fine. But right now I am totally crashed. I have tried every method but it doesn't work. LG FLASH TOOL (kdz) method does not work. Both prog and phone starting up to show firmware update but instantly I am getting stuck at 9% and no go. I am sure I could make it using a TOT Method alas there's no tot file for the H955.
Been tryin' to push system.img thru LG_Root but somehow it seems to not to.
I have this device just a couple days but I can not put it back sayin' I don't know what's happened, please fix it. They won't buy it.
If there's anybody being able to help, I am instantly sending 100 dollars to him/her. I know that ain't too much but perhaps someone may appreciate this and so I.
Many thanks.
Your phone is bricked. There is no way to push the image.
Only solution is to send it back to LG.
You should try to flash using LG UP... report back
You should try LG mobile support tool. First time after trying to debloat my Flex was bootloping. I don't remember now why but LG flash tool didn't worked for me.
What I did. Downloaded USB drivers and Support Tool from LG.com. Installed drivers. Then connected botlooping phone, let Windows do its install drivers "thingie". Connected phone in download mode, let Windows work. Run Tool ant select Options-update recovery. And voilà.
By the way I have H955 EU. Sorry for my English.
LgUp stops progressing at 9% too. But thanks brotha
Huh did it and no go.
I had hard bricked my previous LG device, had same problem that KDZ method haven't worked and it stucked, I managed to unbrick it with particularry these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/opt...optimus-l9-ii-lg-d605-unroot-unbrick-t2964693
There is TOT, DLL files, you just need to extract it from KDZ file and you could download kdz from this website: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=142
You could use my short instruction how to extract TOT and DLL from KDZ: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64427160&postcount=575
I haven't tested it on Flex 2, so please tell me results.
Will try and post results for about 2hrs. I've got nothing to lose now.
Many thanks bro. I have tried this method as well. Extracted kdz to dz and dz to bin plus dll file. LG tool uploaded the bin files and I was ready to go but afted initial read it got stuck. The phone on its way to the Service Centre hopefully they know their stuff.
I successfully rooted my H830 2 days ago, but today I followed this thread trying to get some adoptive storage, http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/enable-adoptable-storage-t3368207 and it bricked my phone. So be careful to modify your build.prop file.
Update: the boot problem was caused by build.prop's permission, I did the change in PC and copied it back to Android, but I forgot changing the permission to 744.
Anyway, it also gave me an opportunity to try some method to unbrick my phone.
1. First I tried LGUP and stock TOT file, I got an "unknown model“ error when opening LGUP. It worked fine 2 days ago when flashing the modified TOT file. And there's no driver issue, in device manager I can see "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM3)". I guess LGUP need to recognize the phone when it's up for the first time.
2. I also tried LG flash 2.1.0.6, this one totally not work on H830, it failed to load the TOT file.
So please share the information with me if you know how to work around the LGUP "unknown model" error or any other way to unbrick LG G5 H830. Thanks in advance.
Are you able to get into TWRP? If so, you could try editing your build.prop through the terminal using vi. Maybe revert the changes you made?

If you simply changed a line in your build.prop i doubt you are hard bricked. As the other user suggested boot into recovery (vol down + power when you see the lg logo let go of power and quickly press and holding power again. then select yes) once in twrp plug your phone into comp and adb push a stock build prop. you will have to ask someone to pull theres for you.

Yes, you both are right. The problem was caused by build.prop's file permission. I did the change in PC, and copied back to android, but I forgot changing the permission to 744. That's why I cannot boot.
I just boot into TWRP and correct the permission, it all works now.
Thanks both for the help.

So where did you find a stock TOT file for the H30 (not the rooted one)...could really use that right about now...

I did not try it myself since I was able to solve the problem by changing the file permission.
Where can one find the stock buildprop file for the Tmobile G5?
Hello All, I think I hard bricked my phone.
I cant seem to connect to my phone with LGUP directly with all USB and DLL's installed. I had to use Uppercut
I tried to use Uppercut+LGUP and downgrade my OS to the previous version, however it always fails at 11%.
Failing which, My phone seems to be a brick.
When I power on my phone the only thing I see is...
LG Logo. then immediately, Firmware Update
If I plug in the power to charge, the phone shows the same thing.
LG Logo. then immediately, Firmware Update
If I trry to boot into recovery (vol down + power when you see the lg logo let go of power and quickly press and holding power again.)
Same thing...
LG Logo. then immediately, Firmware Update
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

SInce you're already in download mode, I would just use LG Uppercut and load the 20A rom. Let me know if you have any other issues.

Hi! Could you please link me to a working 20A ROM please?
Have you done any aftermarket ROMs yet? Kind of want to try cynogen/lineage but still need to unlock first.

Hi All,
I tried flashing my
H83110a with UPPERCUT_1.0.0.0 and LGUP 1.14
H83110d_00_0504
H83110h_00_0901
No luck.
I prefer the older OS.
I will try to install the newer next time. Will keep you posted.
For Those whohttps://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/bring-lg-g5-to-life-download-mode-lgup-t3565508 want to go back to stock but lgup is not recognizing the phone should try instructions from following thread. It uses lg flash tool for flashing
