Got a bit of a problem.... I flashed a ROM onto my phone (forgot to back up, that's my big issue) It said it flashed just fine. Went to start up, just ran the lg logo for about 30 mins. Decided to try re-flashing it. Made sure to wipe everything. Nothing, still have the same issue. Tried to get back into CWM, but its gone now. Tried doing emergency download software, now its stuck on the screen "Download is in progress, do not disconnect cable." Im stuck. I dont know what else to do. I've tried the LG Support Tool, but it says to use Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant, which I can't get because I can't find a download for it and I cant get it from my phone.
I have the stock ROM image, but I have no clue how to install it without CWM or something. Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I needs my phone...

they said to use Upgrade Assistant that means you never told them about the truth: phone is not booting....big mistake or let me understand that:Upgrade Assistant works when your phone is in download mode ?!
what is that rom you tried to flash surely was for your phone ?
also you have stock rom this is a .zip file or what format?
can you enter fastboot mode ?

Um... Let's see... The LG Support Tool which in most cases you can use to return your phone to stock comes up with a message saying "Upgrade tool is preinstalled in your phone. Please allow to install "Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant" when the phone is being connected to the PC". That's what the tool tells me.
The ROM I tried to flash was BrokenOutConnect v1.0. Its for the LG Connect, which is almost the same phone, and some one said it would be ok to flash it.
The stock ROM is in an .img file, so I need to figure out how to install from that
And I have no idea how to enter fast boot (unless your referring to the vol up+down + pwr, in which case, that doesn't work.
Sorry, can't post the original page for the ROM, I'm too new lol

ok
I think was a bad idea to flash that rom because is not exactly made for your phone one can damage a phone in this way never do like that !
about your stock rom...maybe this is a backup made by stock recovery ? do you have a recovery.img file in that update ? there is a single img file in that stock rom or more files ?

No I do not... I actually just found that stock image on another forum. File is called LG_Lucid_VS840_4g_system.img . I realize that was a horrible idea... Google kinda led me astray on that one lol. I just wanna figure out how to return it to stock. Or if anyone has a link for "Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant", that would be much appreciated.

but do you have a backup of your current rom on your sdcard ? It's made by stock recovery if so search for a file named recovery.img
here is the link to your phone check if this is really your phone also download usb drivers and software to update it from LG site
install USB drivers then download and run LG Mobile Support Tool this will connect to LG site download files and finally will request to connect phone to PC then will make update

What was the tool?
My vs840 won't allow me to flash a recovery how did you do it?
Hy. My name is Steven. Yesterday i bought an Lg L Fino d290. I rooted it with purpledrake and i installed Titanium Backup. I restored some backups from my old phone (an Chinese one : Colorovo City Tone Vision). I restored Contact storage, Phone storage and some other apps. After I rebooted the phone an error pops up "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped". I tapped on "ok" and imediately it apeared again. I pressed ok again and still apeared again and again. I freaked out and i realised what I've done.. Then i delelted all app chache and rebooted the phone. Nthing changed. I entered in stock recovery mode ( i can't install cwm on my phone) and i whiped all data and cache. I rebooted the phone and nothing changed. The error dialogue is still there. I tryed to install Titanium Backup again to see what i can do but it didn't work because the error message poped up contiously. Even if i install the app from Magazine Play or from an apk file it doesn;t work. i have adb connection but not many commands are working. for example install.. I don't know what to do.. the phone keep showing me the error with and without the sim card. I can open the phone app and the contacts but i can't open the message app. Please help me. What shoul I do? I knnow i dit something wrong.. Excuse my bad english
Hello.
I don't know exactly what the problem is, but it seems as you states, that something is corrupted. Therefor i think it's better that you try to do a full restore with the LG software and reinstalling it. Try this link: http://www.downloads.techdiscussion.in/smartphones/lg-l-fino-pc-suite-and-usb-driver/.
yes, lvg2800 bro is right. u have to flash stock rom via pc.
Don't ever restore system data from one phone to another or one rom to another. They each handle this type of stuff differently. What happened is that when you restored you phone and contact data it used a different set up and corrupted your new device setup. Your gonna have to wipe the device now and start over. Lesson learned
question
How can i restore the firmware. the lg mobile supert tool tels me that is up to date and whe i click to repair it tells me that everything is ok... please from when can i get the stock rom

You could try wiping the data from the stuff you restored in TIBU. Or by doing a factory reset

To be honest I dont know what to tell you at this point. If a factory rest doesn't work then and you can't restore the default rom I would contact t the company you got it from.

Thank you very much for helping me. I stil have some questions. What does it mean "Note the number of firmware"? In LG Spupport Tool it tells me that is have the software D29010a and my phone is D290N. What does it mean that "10a"? On the site I gave you last time at HUN firmware version it writes "10b" not "10a" and "D290" not "D290N". Can I flash the HUN firmware or those details are important and I can't? Thank you!

10a is the version of firmware i think, no problem if you flash 10b, the only problem is that it version v10b have difficults to root, but if you don't whant do it, its perfect to you
You can flash the HUN firmware, v10b or v10c...

Has anyone had this issue when attempting to do OTA updates?
I had an F510S and I got a prompt to download the V15 software. Upon receiving the message, I unrooted the phone completely using the option in Super SU, even tried a factory reset afterwards..The update will download, restart to go through the installation process, fail, then upon rebooting I would get the message.
The only explanation I can think of is that I uninstalled some of the bloatware that came with the phone using Titanium Backup... does LG check for changes in the system files when doing OTA updates?
I ended up switching over to an H959 rom instead as I realized that I'd need to flash a complete stock rom before trying an OTA update again but it would be nice to know in case I decide to uninstall system apps in the future.
Try updating via LG Pc suit
PC Suite kept saying that I had the latest version available, even though I had a prompt for an OTA update
Exactly the same problem here ! I also think it's caused by the uninstallation of some apps..
Must have all apps from factory bloatware and all. That's the only way i learned the hard way in the past . Flag stock tot
Managed to overcome that by updating using the LGMobile Support Tool. It's like the Sony Update Service but for LG instead.

Has anyone been able to receive OTAs after flashing a KDZ?
I installed Osmos Os 7.1.1 thru TWRP and when I did that I then went and flashed Aroma installer( probably not the best idea) and installed pretty much all the apps, which was stupid. Now I don't have root( and can't reroot via kingroot, it fails every time).
When I tried to get back into recovery I get the sleeping Android with the exclamation mark with the "No Command".
I just want to get back into recovery so I can restore my last backup.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you get into download mode? If you can do that, ill upload the files you need to get your phone to a rooted functional state.
Yes I can , but, when I go into download mode on the while on the computer, it doesn't read download mode and that the drivers weren't installed correctly it detects that something was connected but goes straight to the drivers weren't installed correctly.... I feel like there's no hope with this phone, I'm stuck on a 7.1.1 rom with no root, no sim card detection and no recovery. Ugh!If you think you can get me into a rooted state, then awesome!

Your not stuck, its a soft brick, i once had that same driver problem. Give me some time to compile everything into a single zip for you to download with instructions. To fix your driver issue, ill include the lg g3 driver kit for you to install, it may still give a driver error, but youll just have to manually assign them and ill help you with that if it comes up.
Ok man, thanks, now what I didn't mention was that I can still boot up into Osmos Os, I just don't have recovery root or radio...It's like when I flashed Aroma and installed all those apps, it broke my recovery and root...I don't understand it. So is that still classified as a soft brick? Just can't do anything with trying to restore my last backup, which I still have in my TWRP folder, but with no recovery I can't restore it, along with the root issue...I mean I tried to reroot with Kingoroot and king root, but nothing. I'm hoping what you are providing me with will get me back up and running. Thank you again man. I do have ADB and fastboot working, just can't make things work in dl mode.

Yea, as long you can get into download mode, then its only a soft brick. The Stump Root apps is a collection of exploits and when in doubt it can sometimes use a brute force attack to gain root. Its how i rerooted my g3 after it got corrupt.
Ok cool, so is it different than the mobile version? Because I tried the mobile version and it instantly popped up with it saying that it can't root my phone.

Now if reinstalling all the drivers doesnt work, Ill set up a guide to do a full cleaning of lg drivers and fresh install. The error codes your getting are apparently just outdated or corrupt drivers, so its not a lost cause, just a bump in the road that can be fixed.
Got it fixed!!! Back to stock rooted. Now I'm flashing super su. Now I can do that thru flashify right? You left out one major detail tho...I had to check Mark board, in LG flash tool...I was stuck in the factory reset 2 screen for like 2 hours until I finally had the computer recognize download mode again.

Hey, no problem man, you really helped out! And now because of that tutorial and the detail you put in, I have recovery and root again! It actually was really easy initially!
I had someone else help out before you, and we spent hours upon hours of trial and error to try and get me back to this state, now he suggested lg root tool but I told him I couldn't get DL mode working as well. So all in all, if it wasn't for people on this site helping each other out, none of us would have what we have now , or fix things on their devices.

Cannot help much if there is no details on what your phone bootloader/firmware versions were before flash, and what versions you were trying to flash.
If you were flashing a lower version of BL to your phone, you can flash your original firmware back to your phone.
If you were flashing a higher version of BL, you will need to find a new version of BL/firmware , such as the latest U firmware, to Odin into the phone..

Since you mentioned a Google account, just make sure you know the user and password of the last working Google account on the phone. Sounds like you tried to flash a firmware with an older bootloader.
And if you don't know that info and were trying to carrier unlock it via some back door method, don't follow the thread that I just linked.

Do you receive an error message when flashing? Also, have you tried another USB cable and make sure you use an usb 2.0 port too.

no error message it flashes successfully with odin but when the phone itself starts to update the firmware after 33% it just reboots then fails. then i get a error screen and well no recovery. no one locally seemed to be able to fix the issue either so update: i sent it away to try to fix. https://imgur.com/a/knxKIKM
