Well I just picked up a phone that is a t mobile phone that has a metro pcs rom installed on it. I got it for under 20 bucks so not much money lost if this won't work I took the risk since it entered download mode ok and recovery mode also (no twrp installed or adb enabled). I cannot for the life of me get flash tool or lgup to work with it. lgup sees it as unknown and flash tool tells me it can't find required info. I just want a stock rom that works. Once I get there I can think about rooting. Oh and lg mobile support does see the phone and attempts to download but then just says "downloading" and the clock stops at like 25 seconds. No progress bar. While I realize I may have to defer to LG on this one it seems this SHOULD be fixable if only I could access it through download mode somehow. An help would be appreciable.

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.
I've looked at the similar threads , to be honest even if one of the suggestions might work , none of the people seem to have the same problem from my understanding.
So apologize ahead of time as i imagine someone has bricked in a similar fashion in some thread buried somewhere.
But have an unlocked P925g lg optimus 3d, got a few days ago.
Last night i rooted just fine , root checker says it was rooted properly.
Then i installed rom manager as i was following manbearpigs post.
When i got to flash clockwork mod , i clicked the button and it looked like it was doing some flashing , but the phone turned off to reboot??
and now when i power on the lg logo appears and then the screen goes funny.
If i try to hold the power down and 3d button , i get a green screen . However i'm very unsure of what to do next.
However when i plug into usb the phone goes black , refuses to turn back on until i take the battery out.
I'd pay someone here if i could , but i'll take any help i can get.
Appreciate any help.
I don't KNOW, but just an idea:
May be your phone is stuck in download mode?
With this latest ICS (original, not ported) my phone shows black screen when in download mode (no message SW UPDATE and something in Korean).
Did you try to plug your phone to PC? Does your comp see it?
From what I read flashing wrong CWM might cause problems...
Also try to read Ressurection thread by xbsa, it helped me couple times
Don't give up!

My computer does see the phone if i take the battery out , and push the volume down while it connects. However when it connects , it cannot find drivers that it find originally.
I'd be happy just to have the phone back to froyo right now , however i am not giving up , just asking for advice. Will reply once i look at the resurrection post you suggested.

just try the LG flash tool to flash without reinstalling drivers, if it doesn't flash you have to uninstall all LG drivers, reboot your computer, install again LG drivers and flash Bin files using Flash tool, you don't have to flash Bin and fls files at the same time, first Bin file, if there is no network close LG flash, open it again and flash Fls at second time to get the right baseband (sometimes it not necessery to flash this fls files)
or just follow this guide

To get to download mode you need to keep battery in, remove sim and SD card. Hold vol+ and plug USB cable. You should see message SW UPDATE and some Korean. My phone now doesn't show it, just blank screen. But LG Flash sees it and u can flash bin fls.

Remove drivers and use the LGMobile Support Tool to install the drivers, if your phone is connected it should detect it and finish the install process. I believe the P925G is a Rogers device? You might have to select Rogers as your carrier to find the drivers.

ok so i've deleted all lg related material from my computer, when i connected the phone to the computer with battery in , nothing happens.
Without battery , it detects automatically , then it continues a loop of picking it up and dropping off .
So i moved to my laptop , attempted to follow the guide kupuku posted, however after getting the went logo on the phone , it never gets past that stage no matter what i do.
I've also tried LG support tool , it doesn't detect my phone on either my computer or laptop , even after installing/reinstalling the proper drivers.
LG does have a live chat which isn't open and the phone number can not be reached from my area.. i imagine its a 1800 number for asia or something as i do live in Canada.
My only other choice is to take the phone down to a guy that can get it out of boot loop for close to what i paided for the phone a few days ago.
Least to say , that option is something i want to do , nor can i afford to do.
once again i apprecaite the help that has been given , and for any that will be given.
edit:
Ok so i got lg mobile support to work by doing recovery and entering my imei number. Its currently at 4% but its been close to an hour and a half. Might restart and see if that works , but my phone is doing the logo boot repeat pattern still , even during this update. so not sure what exactly is happening.
Purpose:
Restore LG Intuition VS-950 to Factory after Brick
Reason:
After Rooting if something got messed up you will get the "Security Error" or "Morning Call Failure" preventing Boot
I assume from what I have read on XDA and other sites that this is due to VZW software that prevents tampering with OEM setup
And If my wife found out that I messed up the brand new phone she just got me yesterday, yes yesterday, she would kill me.
Here it is!!

Entire process took me about 45 minutes
Hey, I think the LG support tool has updated... Screenshots look different from what I'm looking at, and the program hangs on 'downloading' without ever actually starting. I'm in desperate need of a way to repair this unloved phone.
Any updated direction?
As for how to do this? Or if it has changed?

DESPERATE FOR HELP!
I bought a LG G2 D802 after deciding that ~ thats the phone i needed and after i bought it of course it had the 4.4.2 when i really wanted the 4.2.2
The reception was horrible too in low signal zones i had 90% of time no signal so after studying a little i decided i would Root it & install a new Rom possibly a Tmobile Version so i could fix my reception with Wifi-calling. Rooting was straight forward and no problems but Twrp was horrible i tried different ways and i couldnt install a recovery that worked or opened. Before i started playing with Twrp i made a Back up of the stock just in case.
AS it was BOUND to happen ~ flash errors occurred when i installed autorec.apk and rebooted. After that all i get is:
Fastboot mode started
udc_start()
and when im connected by USB
-reset-
-portcharge-
fastboot: proccessing commands
Pretty popular on the forum. So i tried to keep my cool and went through all same cases> I tried to get Recovery ( never installed right so ) tried to fix it by a method someone shared on the forum ~ didnt work Fastboot would flash the new recovery but once i went through the reboot and factory settings would go back to same black screen with fastboot mode started. To make things worse my download mode pops out and stays half a sec before it goes to same Awful screen. Tried to fix download with Laf file ~ fastboot erase and flash new one for my version as suggested by another member who unbriked his LG G2 didnt work ~ same issue.
ADB doesnt recognize the device. I have installed all device software in the beginning when i was rooting and trying to install Twrp. its an LG G2 with no SD slot and not a removable battery. Im losing all hope i dont know what to do anymore. If you guys can help me would be a life saver im close to smashing it to pieces and go back to my old Blackberry~...~
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: Please help !

I dont know! I can Erase and Flash .img files into the phone ~ by using CMD and the SDK but i dont seem to be able to flash a system.img the one i have is 3gb and says error allocating memory. I dont see my device on adb ~ and fastboot shows ? Fastboot as device. I went and installed Ubuntu into a Virtual drive to try to push files into phone so i could access download mode or recovery. No luck there i couldnt find the phone under devices either.
When i use CMD on the PC and flash recovery recovery.img or any other image command the phone displays the work being done. So i think i am connected to Fastboot.
I'm at a point where i need enough help that im starting a thread about it.
How it started:
It all started when i restarted my G5 with Quick Reboot [ROOT] (AntaresOne Studio ) because it was lagging/slow.
After restarting the phone would not boot. It would always go to the Optimizing XXX of XXX apps, finish, restart and optimize again.
What ive tried:
I factory reset my G5 by using TWRP and formatting the data partition.
That allows me to use the stock? G5 ROM, but one huge issue, is that if i turn on Wifi, the phone reboots within 2 seconds to the tmobile screen and gets stuck.
It fails to reboot after that.
My phone has retained root. I was able to verify that by downloading Root Checker and it confirmed that i have root.
SuperSU also worked properly and SnapChat fails to login because it is detecting that i still have root.
I have been rooted for several weeks without any problems fyi. I have not updated my phone at all.
I was hoping i could unroot and flash the stock unmodified? tmobile ROM,
but in download mode, LGUP detects the device as "unknown device"
and if the phone is booted, LGUP does not detect it, instead it gives me a drivers need to be installed warning.
(The drivers are already installed, because i installed then when originally rooting, i also reinstalled everything the root guide suggested anyways)
At this point i am clueless as to what else i can do.
Currently i can use the phone more or less fine but i can only run on data.
Play store has trouble installing apps via data so i tend to download and install APKs directly via file manager.
Thank you for any help and insights in advance.
Well, I would suggest flashing the 10D kdz to get back to stock. However you need LGUP working to do that...
It sounds like a driver issue... I would uninstall the driver, reboot, reinstall, and try again.
As for uninstalling the drivers, that is easier said than done sometimes. You may need to manually remove the driver files if the uninstaller does not.
You may want to use something like Revo Uninstaller to monitor the install and then do an uninstall again.
If you have another computer, doing it on that computer could be an easier route, heh.

SO i tried it on my mom's windows 7 desktop, and it look slike all the drivers installed properly, however when i run LGUP, same thing happens.
It shows up as "unknown device". The other LG software also doesn't detect it. I can factory reset the phone and it stays rooted, but the broken wifi is a huge issue.
I'll keep try thou. Your driver issue idea seems valid but idk what is happening at this point :/ I used to love this phone and LG (coming from the S4) but no so much anymore...
The chinese brands will take over at this rate lol. Axon 7 is compelling. Again, Thanks for the advice
EDIT:
I fixed it. Issue was due to build.prop. because the file was modified it caused the software to not detect the phone properly apparently, so putting back a clean stock build.prop allowed LGUP to recognize the device.
