you can access your recovery? if so, there is a usb storage option in clockwork.

try reinstalling them through the pdanet website http://www.junefabrics.com/android/index.php
download the free version to your desktop and install, then follow the onscreen instructions. itll install the proper drivers for your phone. its possible that it wont recognize your phone though. also, did you try reformatting the phones storage? and you never answered, can you still boot into recovery?

yes i can boot into recovery. formathing the storage is the thing that made me come to this dead end.(not being able to flash the rom. cuz i formated the storage where the rom was on.
oh and i did not instal the USB drivers.cuz it doesnt find my device.
and.. how do i set my device to USB debug when i cant boot to android -.-? ill just skip that step

****.im in! dling a rom now/fast!
ill post pics on what i did >< thoug i do not recomand it
is there a OTA after 2.3.6? for the 3G version?

wauw,your info was really useful.
maybe you should consider RE thinking the meaning of bricked.
you call an electronic a Brick when it's useless and cant do the things it supposed to do.
that it can turn on and show letters, doesn't exclude it from the definition bricked.
and my nexus S was useless until repairs. so yes it was a brick.
i might not have as many posts as you do. but that doesn't conclude on what level of knowledge i am. so dont even try to say im totally wrong.
next time.contribute. not the opposite.
and if you cant contribute,than dont even post irrelevant things at all.

NM. Got going to bother.

In the strictest sense of the term, bricking must imply that software error has rendered the device completely unrecoverable without some hardware replacement.
We at XDA like to take our definitions very seriously. You had a softbrick

brick/softbrick.. it just doesnt matter because its all relative to the moment the thread was started. to the op, it was a brick when he started the thread. it later became known that the phone was softbricked, only after fixing it. whats important is that the op fixed his phone, everything else is just semantics and irrelevant. well, its irrelevant unless now this thread turned into a "define bricked" thread. then its relevant and to the point
(btw, sorry. i wasnt meaning to be an ass if i sounded like one. im just feeling a little rambunctious )

You're welcome.
Once again:
Bricked = non-recoverable. <- notice the period
Softbricked = recoverable, software problem

at-least some one that doesn't think he's Almighty and knowing.
and being an ass about it.
and what simms22 just said.
in the start of the thread.i thought it was bricked.
but we managed to get it fixed.
though USB not working(yes the USB component of the main board)
does imply bricked. cuz it did need a replacement(though i fiddled with it and got it to work.)thats why i edited my first post.
it was part bricked,part soft bricked.

No one is implying that they are all mighty and know-it-all. We're simply saying that every time someone messes up their phone and don't know how to fix it they call it "bricked". Almost every day we see a post about a bricked phone and 99 % of them turn out to be just another newbie trying to root the device or some other mistake.

xt926 stuck at Motorola Dual Core logo

I've not dealt with Moto's before, All my previous phone's have typically been Samsung, Nexus, and currently my LG G3.
My mom has a Verizon XT926 that from what it sounds like started an OTA update and is now stuck at the red circle, white M logo screen, that says "Dual Core"
I would call myself pretty android savvy, and have tried everything I've found so far without any luck.
Here is the current situation:
I can get into recovery, and fastboot
I have tried using RSD Lite to flash multiple versions of the stock ROM without any success
I have tried using HouseOfMoto method, also without any success
I read through SamuriHL's thread here and at droidrzr.com and tried every possible suggestion without any success
Here is a screenshot of RSD Lite
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also, after attempting an RSD Lite flash, the error message on the phone is:
failed to read signature for partition aboot
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
I thought the above error meant that I was trying to downgrade, but I have even attempted to flash the latest image of VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml and it still fails.
From a few of SamuriHL's posts, i get the feeling this phone has a "corrupt partition table" issue that I don't believe anyone has been able to find a solution for.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!

.10 is not the most current OTA, that's why you're getting the downgrade error. Look in the general section for the thread with the .15 update.

Same deal, phone returns "fail"
This time it doesn't specify that its a downgraded security version, it just flat out fails. Pretty sure the OTA fried this thing. Oh well.....

you apparently missed some key points in your research, obvious just by looking at your screenshot.
you need to completely remove the "tz" and "gpt" lines from the xml file, then flash again.
your having a pretty basic issue, thats fairly easily fixed.
.... and yes, if it comes to it, i can easily guide you to fixing the partition table, but that doesnt appear necessary at this point.

Would you be able to point me to the thread where this is talked about?
I found many references to removing the lines that have getvar in them, which I have also tried, but none referencing your suggestion.
Thanks!

it has been said by myself and others easily a hundred times, i would rather not dig through threads looking for it.
when we post certain tools and firmwares, we just remove those lines before you get them to avoid this issue. but firmwares posted more for general use will still have those lines, as they are sometimes needed.
if you were to type "gpt error rsd android" into google, im sure there would be many post in threads suggesting the removal of certain lines from the xml as i have suggested.
hope that helps..
edit, added some search terms, just gpt error was too vague.

Still doesn't matter, fails again.
The phone doesn't report anything on screen, the last line is still just "usb connected"
edit: when i try to flash .10 instead of .15, it still fails, but the phone returns a single line of: "failed to read signature for partition aboot"

Already tried that, and DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.4gpt KK, and DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility_1.3.gpt fix.
I'm pretty sure the phone is beyond repair. It just crazy to me because I've been using android since just after the Dream, and of all the horrible things I've done to them, I've never bricked one. Yet a simple OTA from Verizon on a bone stock Rzr HD bricks it, lol.

unless you grabbed that one from a thread, then you havent tried it. its not the same as either of those you mentioned, its newer.
it may be bricked, you will know after you flash that file. there is nothing else im aware of to try.
if everything says it failed when using the utility, then its toast.

What is it doing can you get to the red motorola logo. If you can then try and plug in charger and while connected to charger, when it gets to the red M logo hold power and volume up and volume down at the same time. when screen goes off release right away and then as quick as you can hold the same three buttons untill you get to fastboot mode and then let go. if it gets to fastboot mode then it might just be a bad battery. If it does not then it is bricked and you would need a fastboot cable to get into fatboot mode and flash stock firmware and bring back the device to life.

issues after mm upgrade
Here's what I experienced after update...
Once you upgrade you can't flash back to stock. LG flash tool fails because it couldn't detect the model. After setting up McAfee it disables root and usb debugging. You have to go into McAfee and turn those options off. So it seems like once you go to mm you can't get back to lollipop. I'm also having proximity sensor issues also with the screen going black during a call. I guess once we can get root I'll be able to install another rom.

Hi, I got the notification and I was not in WiFi network so decided to cancel it and check it again once I got to wifi zone. But when I checked next time, I just get a message, your phone is uptodate. I tried rolling date forward to circumvent the 24 hour check, but no luck. Any ideas to get the update notification back ?

no luck updating
tried the update today, it just sends me to twrp recovery screen every time

You can't install a factory update while rooted. Come on guys you should know this.

I had the same thing happen to me so what I did to make the phone think I haven't checked for an update and avoid the 24 hour wait I did a hard reset. I want to point out that I didn't care much about all my apps being deleted and you might want to back them up. Note: I was on stock lollipop

Not sure if there is an "anti roll back" But You cannot use flashtools once updating to Lollipop you must use LGUP.

Its KDZ. the D850 is TOT method only.
My Guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
But remember its your own risk, not sure if downgrading will brick or not yet from MM on the AT&T Model.

FWIW, if you're experiencing DND issues after the 6.0 update check settings > dnd > advanced > schedule. kept noticing on my moto360 it was switching to dnd for no reason. turns out some scheduling magically appeared. been running 6.0 without a hitch since last night. had to manually disable at&t video calling and a few other things but im happy with it thus far.

You have to do a hard reset through stock recovery. Don't do it if you are using a custom rom. If you are not experienced I recommend you wait to see if you get another update notification

That is because flashtool you cannot use if your on MM you use LGUP with the TOT file.

It's in the 2nd post of my guide in the link I posted earlier ^^ but just remember at your own risk as I haven't seen anyone try yet. Example like the G4 after a certain point people bricked there AT&T model from downgrading. But if you do risk it and everything went smoothly let us all know!

No luck, tried hard reset through recovery twice and before that general reset several times. I'm not getting the notification for the second time

LG H900 5.1 > 6.0 problem

I upgraded software to 6.0 using LGUP because I don't use phone in USA.
Installation completed without problem, but now when I start phone I get message "unfortunately lg vpn has stopped". Beside that, every time when I try to open some settings like Fingerprints & security I get message "Unfortunately, the process com.android.settings has stopped" and window close.
I tried to reinstall upgrade but same thing. Second thing I tried was install custom rom, but I can't root device because I can't access Security tab in Settings (get error).
Do you have any suggestions? Tnx!

Way back in my G3 days, I had a similar experience and stumbled my way to a solution.
1. Find AD freeze LG VPN system menu' entry. If that doesn't work, try removing whatever SIM you're using and compare your Google Play Services version to someone if necessary, find your devices most recently available here or at apk mirror.

Way back in my G3 days, I had a similar experience and stumbled my way to a solution.
1. Find AD freeze LG VPN system menu' entry. If that doesn't work, try removing whatever SIM you're using and compare your Google Play Services version to someone if necessary, find your devices most recently available here or at apk mirror.

Please explain me "Find AD freeze LG VPN system menu' entry. " 2. Unfortunately I can't install any apk file because can't access settings (error) to aprove installation.

LG H900 VPN stopped

I upgraded software to 6.0 using LGUP because I don't use phone in USA.
Installation completed without problem, but now when I start phone I get message "unfortunately lg vpn has stopped". Beside that, every time when I try to open some settings like Fingerprints & security I get message "Unfortunately, the process com.android.settings has stopped" and window close.
I tried to reinstall upgrade but same thing. Second thing I tried was install custom rom, but I can't root device because I can't access Security tab in Settings (get error).
Do you have any suggestions? Tnx!

Did you find any solution about said problem ????

I'm also curious if there is a fix for this. I have a device here that has the exact same symptoms. I used the H900_20j TOT file to upgrade to 6.0 and started seeing issues. I then used the h90021w.kdz file to update and that didn't fix anything.

It seems that the user is right and I upload software via octopus and nothing even the same error is possible that the main card is not h900 but another variant.

Hi bro
I have exactly the same problem as you explained but how can I do the same thing (upload a VS990 firmware into my AT&T mobile!) using LGUP or LGflashtool. Because the software recognized my phone as H900 and when try to upload VS990, it said wrong KDZ file!!.
Could you guide me?

open your phone to be sure that is a vs990 and then rename de kdz to a h900 kdz. this solved all problems including reboot if try to uninstall an app

It just needs to rename KDZ file name? I tried it but LGUP stopped working after several seconds and closed!
Could you provide the link of KDZ and DLL file you upgraded your phone through it?
Thanks

Thank you very much for the video! Now, I am sure that my V10 is a VS990.
Is it possible to use LGUP for changing the H900 firmware to VS990? Or I have to use Octopus?!
Thanks again

Bro,
I have the same issue as yours.
It's really hard to find a way to flash the Verizon firmware to the refurbished device.
Everyone here says that it works but the biggest problem is: "How".
With what tool and how.
Please help us for those who had figured the solution.
We are stuck with invalid kdz. The softwares won't flash the firmware.
:'(

I have the exact same issues as above. I wonder if this one would work? http://www.theandroidsoul.com/lg-v10-update/ .
Cheers,
Trev

Did anybody find a solution for this??
I have exactly the same issue and tried the workarounds listed in this thread, unfortunately nothing worked, so my phone is essentially pretty useless now. If anyone did get a fix working for this e.g fooling lgup to get the verizon kdz on it, it would be great!
Cheers

If you can, go to settings/general/About Phone/ Software Info. Check the model number, then try to flash the matching kdz.
If that isnt working. You need to understand something. Marshmellow is heavily secured. There is not root for the at&t version, and it does not allow downgrading. You may have locked yourself out. Id contact LG and see if they can get you up and running if my suggestion doesnt work. Also, alot of some kdz are not the entire firmware. When you upgrade to a new OS, it tends to keep stuff from the old one. Even if you do a new flash but when you dont have a custom recovery. You may also try to use lg bridge and do a software upgrade repair. It will try to detect a faulty OS, and wipe it and fully download and install a fresh OS, that may or may not work. But thats my info for ya. Hope it helps or at least gives you some clarity.

I give up.

I've got a Galaxy S5 that I purchased from someone earlier today and it worked well until I did some type of software update, it went well but then restarted and it's been messed up since. Now, whenever I boot up the phone it boots fine all the way too the Sprint Spark screen and it just hangs, and hangs and then restarts again, and goes through the same process. I've tried reflashing the device using Odin but I keep getting an error "SW REV CHECK FAIL" with some other stuff. I've tired to do so much, I tried resetting the device and the cache using the options. Please, can someone offer me some help. It's a 900P and it's a Sprint device. I just got back from a funeral a little bit ago so I'd love to get this thing working finally, I've been working on it all night.

Can you check the model number under the battery?
I think Sm-g900m is the South America version, and Sm-g900p should be the North America sprint version.

Ok, good The "SW REV CHECK FAIL" is probably caused by secure bootloader which won't allow downgrade.
Have you tried to flash the latest firmware?

It goes fine all the way till the system.img.ext4 part and it just sits there. I tried letting it sit last night for 4+ hours on a different firmware and it just sat there. Any thoughts?
EDIT: So, I reflashed it, it was successful but my device still hangs at the Sprint screen..

Hmm, I have no idea why it won't boot properly. This "stuck on bootlogo" seems to be a common problem on todays samsung models.
Have you tried factory reset in recovery after flash?
Only other thing I can think of is if some other partition got messed up during the software update.
Maybe can be fixed with a 4-file "repair firmware" with BL/AP/CP/CSC-parts. I'll see if I can find one.

Sorry, I don't. Maybe it's better if you ask for more help in S5 forum on how to go on with this, as I don't own this device myself. I will probably find that thread if you do, and be able to help futher if needed
Otherwise there's plenty of tutorials on how to flash 4-files with odin.
I did find one and uploaded it to mega in case you want to grab it. G900PVPS3CQB3_CSC_SPT_CL10090296_QB12576102_REV00_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.zip
I've used those kind of firmwares on various devices for all kind of problems where official firmware wasn't enough to fix it, and it always worked without problems.

First make sure your battery is well charged (we don't want it to die during flash)
Just put the files in their boxes in odin, connect your phone in download mode and flash.
Hopefully it will now boot past that bootlogo. If not...there must be some hardware problem.

It just sits there? No errors? Maybe you should try a different version of odin, like Odin 3.09
You could also try another usb port and/or different cable. Those are the most common problems when flash won't start.

Yeah you can do that too. Another thing you've reminded me of now when talking about smart switch...Go to your task manager on pc and make sure that no smart switch or kies is running in background before open odin. It may interfere with odin connection.
I remember it was a common problem with kies/odin.
