Oh dear.....I hope I haven't destroyed my O3D....
I was attempting to install the V10D update, so used the backup I took right after rooting and installing ROM Manager to restore the phone to its status before installing the performance pack. If I tried installing the update OTA before this I just got an invalid package error.
So the restore went well and it rebooted fine. So I ran the update again, and it downloaded and appeared to install, but when the phone rebooted it just booted straight into the recovery. I tried to get it to reboot again, but again it just booted back into recovery.
Ok, nothing to worry about I thought, I just ran the restore again with the same restore point as before....but after it finished it's still booting back up into the recovery!!! No matter what I do the phone just seems to keep booting into the recovery menu. I've tried booting into emergency mode by powering the phone off, then holding the UP Volume key and holding power, but it doesn't seem to work.
Can anyone help? Please?
Lil update -
When powering off the phone and then connecting it to the USB cable, it automatically boots into recovery mode without me even touching the power button. At this point the LG Mobile Update detects the phone and advises me that there's an update available. I try to apply this, but after entering the SN and IMEI, it just gives me a message "Updating is not possible any longer due to a fatal error while the LG Mobile Phone Software Update". I get the same error if I use the recovery Phone option. This always happens at the download stage, so is it possible that it's just failing to download the update from LG rather than actually do anything with the phone?
Please don't tell me I've ruined my brand new phone!!
Unfortunatly, you've managed to do the same as I have... leave the phone for e a few days and wait for a rom that you can install via clockwork recovery, you'll have your phone up and running again. Dont do as I did and wipe the recovery from the phone, it will result in a total brick (or at least a brick till LG releaase a full rom update (could be months yet...).
Oh man, I'm panicking so much that I might have ruined the phone now.....

I'm not sure what I'm looking for there, I've looked through that thread but it doesn't seem relevant to the problem I'm having.
I have the same problem, if you put it into emergency mode you can update to 10d but then its even worse then you are stuck in the firmware update screen
tomorrow I leave on holiday and was planning for nice 3d pictures and movies but I am screwed...

Don't panic, I managed to totally brick my phone today and LG told me to send it back for DOA but I managed to recover it in the end.
My phone wouldn't show anything on the screen, it remained black so I can say your position sounds much better than mine.
What you will need:
USB Drivers - Download from here (Check note)
LG Mobile Support Tool (LGMST) - Download from here
Before you start: Disconnect the phone from the computer and totally remove the battery.
So here we go:
!!!REMOVE ALL THE LG USB DRIVERS FROM THE SYSTEM BEFORE YOU CONTINUE!!! Go to add remove programs, select the LG United entry and then uninstall it.
First install the USB Driver from the link above and wait until it has finished with the setup.
Then run the LGMST. When it starts and it says "Disconnected." then put the battery back to the phone and connect the phone to the computer.
Press ONLY the Power button and wait until something happens. If you see that the phones boots and the LGMST starts it by itself then wait till it stops with all the information gathering stuff.
Then regardless of what the program says of you having an update or not, DON'T START THAT UPDATE!
Click on alt on the keyboard and the from the menus at the top select Customer and then emergency(the last option).
Type in the phones IMEI (located at the box of the phone or on a sticker under the battery) without dashes, just numbers.
Finally click on Check and follow the instructions on the screen.
You should be ready as new after 10-15 minutes with the standard V10B firmware and you should not even lose data.
Tell me if that helped so if it didn't we can still fix it I'm sure
Note: I'm aware that 3.3.0 is the latest USB driver that it ships with the phone but for some reason I had only success to flash the phone using the older 3.2.1
That does not work for our problem, just a blank screen is better than stuck in firmware update mode :s

I'm afraid that didn't work (I think I'm gonna cry soon)
When I go to the Customer Support option, the last option isn't called Emergency it's called "Recovery Phone" and seems to launch exactly the same thing as it does if I click the big "Start Updating" button. There is no option named Emergency at all. Does that mean my phone isn't/wont/can't boot into Emergency mode?
I don't even hold down the power button for my phone to switch on, the second I insert the battery it boots into Clockwork Recovery. If I power off the phone and connect the USB, I don't get the battery charging animation or anything, the screen just remains completely blank. Then if I press the power button (alone or with anything else) it just boots to Clockwork recovery.
The LG Mobile Support Tool seems to detect the phone in this state, but as I said, when it tries to do the download, I just get an error saying "Updating is not possible any longer due to a fatal error while the LG Mobile Phone Software Update". The version of the Mobile Support Tool that it's installing is 1.5.1.8 after downloading from your provided link, just incase you need to know that. It seems the tool automatically updates itself on every launch.
Someone also seems to have posted the actual ROM in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155874 would installing this perhaps assist? Is it even possible to install this when my phone wont boot up past the recovery manager? If it is possible can someone perhaps advise me how?

Unfortunately the phone wont boot into Emergency mode. The clockwork Recovery mod seems to have taken over all of the boot options. If I hold the volume up key and press the power button, nothing happens. If I hold the volume down key and the power button, it boots to clockwork recovery. If I just press power, boots to clockwork recovery.
Is there any way to strip off Clockwork recovery and restore the original/stock recovery onto the phone? Or even just remove Clockwork recovery so that it just hangs on the LG boot screen? (See reasoning for this below)
I can still select the USB mount option in Clockwork recovery and the PC still picks it up as a storage device and I can browse around.
The phone is only 7 days old, so I'm almost tempted to just delete the internal memory so that clockwork doesn't show up, then take the phone back to the store and say it wont boot up and try to get it replaced.
Or what would happen if I renamed the clockworkmod folder on the phone's hard drive?
(Just another note, I don't have an external SD card in the phone, just the internal memory)

How else can I put it into Recovery Mode? How can I tell if I've done it right?
I managed to hold the up volume key and hold down the power button, and the LG Mobile Update detected the phone whilst the screen was blank. I thought that meant I was in recovery mode?
I should point out that the LG Logo wasn't flashing up however. I only ever see the LG Logo before it boots into Clockwork RecoveryMod
I also got that fatal error thing when i bricked my phone. For me the phone would start flashing but it got stuck at 17% and then an error followed saying that there was a communication problem between the phone and the pc. My solution was to switch from my desktop computer to my laptop and the procedure ran smoothly after.
You said that the phone powers up directly after you connect it to the pc and while having the support tool running?
You can try to shut it down so it shows a black screen as you said and then try to boot into emergency mode with the vol.up+power button.
The windows sounds might help you on that. you can listen from the computer when the phone connects/powers up or not.
EDIT: Just read your post, if the phone remains black is a good thing.
if your update fails or goes into clockwork recovery etc you will need LG mobile update on your pc and install the lg p920 drivers
turn your phone off take the battery out leave it for 10 sec, connect battery and usb cable hold power and volume up hold it for 10 sec let go then do it again for 10 sec
now run LG mobile update click customer support > recover type your imei let it update once finished power up phone now you will get a screen on the phone that says updating let it update
Well I'm not sure what I did differently. Not sure if I wasn't pressing the button hard enough or my finger was slipping off, or if I've just somehow tricked the phone, but the LG Phone Update from the Phone Recovery option is now running.
I've been doing the same thing I was doing before (or at least thought I was doing) and I'm not sure what I did differently....but....fingers crossed..... the download will finish in 40 minutes (on a crappy connection at the moment) so I'll be able to see what happens then....
UPDATE -
Progress, though not quite yet success.
The LG Mobile Support tool downloaded the software and applied the update succesfully, though my phone didn't automatically restart. I pressed the power button however and it loaded up and not into Clockwork Recovery Mod. It's not however sitting on an "Updating Firmware" screen and the progress bar doesn't seem to be filling at all.
How long does this part of the process normally take?
Does the phone need to be connected to USB for this part of the process? The LG Mobile Support Tool says the phone is disconnected so I'm guessing there's no active data connection between the PC and phone, just power.
Does this normally take a while? Or should I perhaps try the recovery again?

This is only supposed to happen when you apply the OTA update. Try to reapply the stock firmware in emergency mode. After the program applies the firmware, it should boot up the phone by itself in android and give you a success or finish message on the computer.

Is applying the Stock Firmware not what I did with the LG Mobile Support Tool when it downloaded that huge 300MB+ file?
I have contacted the customer services for Carphone Warehouse, and the guy advised that if the phone seemed to have developed a fault and wouldn't start, then since it's within 28 days of purcahse I can get a like for like replacement. Might have to go ahead and do that this evening.
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,

Hey,
I'm trying to root my T-Mobile LG G2 with stock 4.4.2, but the it just refuses to enter download mode. I've tried the standard method of entering download mode (powering down the phone, holding down the volume button, plugging in the USB cable from my computer), but only the LG logo appears on screen, then the battery percentage appears on screen, and then the phone begins to charge. I've tried using different USB cables and different PCs, but nothing seems to work.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong here? Any extra steps that need to be taken?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try holding up and power and let go of power when the logo shows then push the and hold power again.

Do you mean hold power and volume up, plug phone in, let go of power and keep holding volume up, and then hold power and volume up again? I tried that, and the LG logo splashes on screen, disappears, splashes again, and then the screen goes black and the LED notification light blinks red. It doesn't pulse, like when it's charging, but it blinks a steady beat. It stops blinking and the phone boots up when I let go of the power and volume up buttons...

I'm having the same problem with my LG G2, I can't get into download mode. I've tried holding the power up button and plugging in a USB cable but my phone shows the LG logo and then starts charging the battery, I'm on stock rom, 4.4.2, no custom recovery. Is there a fix for this?
I had a similar problem with my T-Mobile LG G2 where I was rooted and accepted an OTA. It broke root and I couldn't get IOroot or Stumproot to work. Went to flash a downgrade and found the phone wouldn't go into download mode. It was NOT bricked. I finally tried playing around with the LG Mobile Support Tool (B2CAppSetup.exe). Of course it detected that my phone already had the latest firmware from T-Mobile, but then I clicked Options>Upgrade Recovery.
It downloaded for a while then I noticed it had put my phone into download mode (it said "Rooted" in red letters at the bottom). Then it flashed the same firmware over and I immediately tested, it entered download mode right away. But I didn't end up needing that as Stumproot was able to brute force it now after the recovery flash.
Anyway, I couldn't find an answer anywhere else. Most results also have a bricked phone, but that wasn't my issue. This solved my problem and maybe it could work for others.

But I didn't end up needing that as Stumproot was able to brute force it now after the recovery flash.
Anyway, I couldn't find an answer anywhere else. Most results also have a bricked phone, but that wasn't my issue. This solved my problem and maybe it could work for others.

After clicking Options>Upgrade Recovery it said "No upgrade items to fix." Thank you all for what you do at XDA.

So this program no longer works and I'm having the same problem. I tried to do this with the LG suit which replaced lg mobile support. It just keeps saying I'm already on the latest firmware. Can anyone help?
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

I have an LG V10 (t-mobile) H901. I am looking to push cyanogen onto it because it recently just stopped working. It won't boot up by itself (stuck on lg screen), and I cannot see it in my computer when I plug it in.
I have tried power and Vol - button then plugging in usb to no effect.
I need to be able to see it in my computer or anything to start being able to mess with/fix it. Any ideas?
I can give any additional details I am not aware were important. I'm new to the phone thing.
