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.
Hello guys,
This is my first post so I would like to say hello and thanks to everyone who contributes to the forum.
I have the LG Optimus 3D (P920) currently on the version below. I have had terrible problems with ghost calls and battery being drained extremely quickly when using 3G connectivity. To get around these problems I have been using 2G since 2011 when I upgraded the software via LG website.
My question is could somebody please advise me of a stable ROM I can use to upgrade from the below version and instructions on how to install it?, any help would be greatly appreciated. I've looked at ROMS but there are so many different ones I don't know which one would be suitable to upgrade from my current version.
Official LG ROM
Android ver 2.3.5
Baseband ver L620_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Build GRJ90
Software Version LGP920-V20a-NOV-30-2011

You really need to update to ICS. You can get official upgrade via lg software update using LG pcsuite, or you can do it by following the guide listed in the forum.There are quite a few but this one is good.

Hi Keith210350,
Thanks for your reply and help. I have tried he official LG update via pcsuite, it tells me there is an update then when I try to update its gets about 40% through analysing pc settings then bombs out saying I am already at the latest software version.
I am trying to flash the ROM you mentioned all goes well until I get to the flash tool, I can select the .dll and .bin files then progress to the next step where I press the arrow start button but it doesn't seem to select the port or say ready but my phone shows a grey circle with two green arrows in it then some writing that starts with S/W then chinese writing, at this point I'm not sure if its updating or not any ideas?
BTW I'm using Win 7 Pro 64Bit
Best Regards

Check driver install carefully, all details. If that is not correct, flash will not proceed as described. The S/W means your phone is in download mode.
You should be seeing a progress bar going from 0% to 100% (for the .bin).
Also, if you still have drivers on your pc from when you tried update tool, they will conflict with the ones from the guide.

Hi Drastic00,
Thanks very much for replying, by the way your instructons are greatly appreciated for noobs like me! I managed to get the LGflashtool into saying ready and my phone with the S/W screen but it doesn't appear to be updating no progress bar either on the phone or LGflashtool, the lGflashtool just sits at ready. Tried connecting phone holding volume up connecting cable then battery and the other way around as per instructions but still the tool sits at ready. The only bit regarding drivers I struggled with is USB controller it was LGE composit slightly different name to te insructions, also there wan't any port option to change the COM port number to COM41? could this be a reason why LGflashtool wont connect to my phone?
One thing when my phone reboots in the top left corner I get text that says Booti mmc_read 0x4c0e60 not sure what this is could it be something to do with that stopping it updating?
Best Regards

OYes, it should show up exactly as written. FT will not work unless all that is correct. You probably have LG drivers left from before conflicting with the ones from the guide. Uninstall all things LG, restart pc and reinstall drivers and again restart pc. Read all carefully.
Do all this signed onto pc as admin.

Dear chimaera500,
I think it is a problem of OMPA drivers or LGE Mobile USB serial port selection.
attached guide and files may help you.
YEEE HAAA...it's done!
Managed to flash my phone but slightly different to the instructions, installed drivers as per instructions but still the flashtool just stayed at ready and wouldn't connect. I didn't get the LG port settings to appear and couldn't change the COM port COM41 so I carried on, connected the phone with battery (without holding the volume up button) and then the drivers started installing again and I could see the LG com port and I was able change the settings to COM41 disconnected phone and connected again holding the volume up and the ROM started flashing! did the same for the baseband flash and that worked.
My phone is great now, it's like a new phone now and even connects properly to my car phone kit and downloads the phone book!
Many thanks to Drastic00 and SL_Nuwan for your help and advice keep up the good work!
Many thanks
Chimaera500
Yes, you have to disconnect the phone from pc and connect it again for the LG drivers to install.
Long story short, a kdz flash may have been interrupted. Now I am unable to boot my stylo at all. I can however see it under device manager, where it is labeled "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008". Is there anything I can do to fix this?
I bricked mine and used LG Bridge to get to Lollipop and then I took the OTA to Marshmallow
Also, LG UP method can be used as well.

I kinda am stuck in this position too. Does LG bridge pick it up in this mode? Did you have that problem? I've been trying and it seems the only thing I can find is QPST using QFIL but then I can't seem to transfer the data and get an error about Sahara not being able to transfer the data over.

I have the MetroPCS version and totally screwed up messing around with something. I had no recovery. I had to use one of the methods to get it back up and running.
If you have the Tmobile or Metro version, you should be fine.
Did you have the same QDLoader 9008 issue?
LG Bridge doesn't appear to be working for me as it's not even detected.
Try LG Flash tool. That can get you back to Lollipop.

Or LG UP method should work.

I can't actually access download mode, meaning neither of those options can detect my phone.

Use a different USB cable. That's what happened to me. I had to try every single USB cable in my house, even from other phones.
AFAIK, in order to fix a hard bricked (Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008) lg stylo we need make something like this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...nbrick-g-stylo-ls770-qualcomm-hs-usb-t3368269) but for the H631/MS631 variant.
Can some of you look at THIS method used on LG V10 TMO variant for unbricking Qualcomm 9008?
I posted a thread HERE with the instructions from the user that created the backup and method to unbrick.
Hi, have the same qualcomm 9008 issue aftet kdz, so is there any solution?
So the brick is so bricked you can't even get to download mode.
Lg h631 hardbricked
Please any solution yet on this thread? I have had the same issue for a year now.
LGMS631 (MetroPCS LG G Stylo) Root/Unbrick/Recovery
So, I think I've managed to salvage my bricked Stylo, I somehow also managed to root my Fiance's LG G Stylo that's on the 6.0 update...
Since I can't find any ways to fix this problem on the internet I'll post what I did here so hopefully I can get some other people out of deep water with their phone.
Here is the thread I made I don't think it will work for a hardbrick, but it might be worth a shot..
LGMS631 MetroPCS LG G Stylo Backup (Unbrick/Root) Android 6.0
That won't work because your phone still works. You can boot past the 9008 mode.
So basically the phone is useless and can't be brought back to life at this point
I'm in the same position, flashed a lollipop kdz on a marshmallow and it effectively trashed the emmc. Without an insider leaking signed programmer and flasher mbns, flashing via sahara is not possible. For the moment, you need one of those expensive 20pin JTAG boxes and documentation for the ISP points(I can't find this info, it's paywalled). Under the shield facing the back of the phone is a header that may be for JTAG, but I haven't bothered probing as I don't think it's practical for unbricking.
Written for users who are experimenting with cross variant roms that cannot update back to stock through Uppercut (LGUP), LG Bridge, due to having a mismatched version and firmware. (Requires LG Bridge to at least recognize your original LG V20 Model number.) I am uncertain but might be able to revert to earlier versions of KDZ for some variants.
WARNING: By following these direction/procedure, you are agreeing in taking full responsibility and accountability for your devices.
Situation:
After experimenting with H910 rom with the H915, changing build.prop, modem, and after trying to flash back to stock, LGUP would only recognize the phone as a H910 model. The LGUP would not flash the H915 KDZ as there is a difference is model number, (stuck at 4%) while, on LGBridge and LG Support tool, it was able to detect that it was an H915 with a H910 firmware. It would download the update but unable to flash the device. With no operating system, no adb fastboot access, no recovery, manual resetting not functioning, this might be for you. (As long as Stock OEM .KDZ is available)
Requirements:
- Some sort of USB C adapter so that it can connect directly through USB 2.0/3.0. Does not work with LG OEM cable or through USB 3.1. [You could use a USB C to 3.0 adapter with a male to male USB 3.0 cable or USB C to Micro USB adapter.
- Stock .KDZ for your model either extracted from LG Bridge. (It’s a hidden folder and you should be able to also find the .dll for your device aswell. But I believe most of the V20 .dll are all the same.
C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\LG Electronics\LG Bridge\SWUpgrade\Image or download through http://lg-firmwares.com/
- WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.6.1-Release.zip by @bullghost , to extract .KDZ files and to require .DZ Files as well as .DLL.
- LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi
- LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe run as administrator
- Might not be required but I'll attach some other drivers downloaded through Lg support tool was for H915 but might work for others.
Procedure:
- Once acquiring the stock .KDZ file from either sources, run WindowsLGFirmwareExtract.exe unzipped from WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.6.1.zip
- Open and extract the .KDZ file to acquire the .DZ and .DLL files.
- Connect the LG V20 with a USB C adapter cable that is USB 3.0/2.0, this probably would not work if you use the OEM LG Cable, as it is USB 3.1.
- Open Device Manager and under Ports ( COM & LPT) , Change the device port to COM41, through properities -> port settings -> advanced -> Com port Number 41-> Ok
- Run Uppercut.exe but make sure anti-virus does not remove C:\WINDOWS\sysWOW64\cleanup.exe.
- Once LGUP is running, make sure you tick the UPDATE option and NOT REFURBISHED or FOTA.
- Select the extracted .DZ file and UPDATE it. By using the .DZ file and the USB 3.0/2.0 cable you are able to bypass the firmware model mismatch as long as it recognizes your original model. Ex: Was able to avoid H915> H910 LGUP firmware update error with the .DZ.
- If flashing finally starts to work and finishes, you might be welcomed by a FACTORY RESET STATUS Blue screen 2?
Now you can disconnect the USB, remove the battery, reassemble, then hold the Volume up button before reconnecting the USB to re-enter firmware update/download mode.
- By now, you can disconnect and reconnect it to UPPERCUT/LGUP and possibly choose any .KDZ file that is your OEM MODEL and update it back to 100% stock.
Some fixes to problems:
- LGUP can't load the model [C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\ LGUP model\com {Solution: Run uppercut.exe with anti-virus off}
- If LGUP has a problem detecting your devices rename the LGUPc.dll you either downloaded from LG Bridge or extracted and rename it LGUP_Common.dll and place in C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\common\*
Some fun software to modify .dll and .exe .
- http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
I hope this method will give people more confidence to explore the H915 model as well as other models.
Big Thanks to:

I'm experimenting with my H915 and trying to flash the H918 KDZ. I have two USB C cables. My device is detected on port 41, but when I try to flash the .dz file with Uppercut it fails at 10% and when I reboot and go back into download mode it still says it an H915 and can't flash the .kdz. I tried both USB cables.
Any advice?
Edit: Could the issue be they are both USB 3.1 cables? The phone IS detected on port 41 as a H915.

I didn't think that usb 3.1 would be a problem but when I hard bricked it the first time, usb 3.0 cable solved the problem. When it gets stuck at 10 percent, it's getting stuck at the laf part right?
I'd still advise against flashing the h918 kdz I think we could develop a ROM h915 based on us996 as both does not have bloated carrier applications, as well as being global variants.
Did you flash a h918 TWRP, as well as a h918 stock ROM ?
Alright. So anybody got any idea what to expect. Everyone I run it the program fails at 12% i tried LG bridge as well it downloaded the update (took 2 ducking hours LG has some ****ty servers.) And it failed as well.
I used the usb included in the box the usb cable that came with nexus 6p and the usb that came with Alcatel idol 4s Windows phone. Every. Single. Cable. So since I didn't know if the cables were right I went to Amazon and ordered a usb 3.0 to usb c cable.
Does anyone know if the cables might be the issue Wal-Mart only had is 2.0 to c cables. LG is such a ****ing failure give us access to fastboot from a coldboot or make your device assistant program force flash it's DATA. I'm assuming it won't flash it because my phone identifies itself as a Google pixel but the program was smart enough to download the right update run an md5 of the update but when it went to apply it LOLNOPE THAT'S A PIXEL NVM! Literally all of this could be solved with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img but what do I know they only left the bootloader unlockable accessible via adb to run oem unlock and they didn't have the foresight to include a functional boot to fastboot option /endrant

Do you access to either, system, TWRP, fastboot, or firmware update mode?
What did you flash that makes it recognize it as a pixel? Which model phone do you have ? The USB cable might not be an issue if you can't get lgup to recognize it as an LG phone

New cable doesn't make difference. Wtf can I do
imgur/AJBLjsC.jpg
Oh no lgup and bridge recognize the model number and LG bridge even begins downloading the kdz for it. Its the Tmobile version so h918tn no twrp, no fastboot just download mode. Lgu0 gets to 12% and fails something like unrecognized command error 0x2bc or something.
Lgbridge despite recognizing the device and downloading the right firmware throws an error before it starts flashing I'm assuming it's because it's just trying to flash the .kdz and not the dz so when it checks the build.prop it says hold up this isn't the right phone compared to the kdz info
Gonna pop a new post in here. I tried the usb c cable it didn't matter [out 10$ now] however I managed to make it to fastboot. The bad news is that it doesn't help at all despite my unlocked bootloader fastboot won't write or boot images. Thanks obama
The simple way of life of fastboot flash recovery twrp.img didn't work it fails when it goes to write, same with boot.
So contacted LG to see if begging for an official tot would work so I'll wait a bit if not I'll just return it to mobile under warranty just gotta figure out a good warranty reason
I got tired of ****ing with it so I proceeded to process a warranty exchange with T-Mobile.... so if anyone wants to give me ideas to try the device is getting fixed anyway throw it at the wall family. I have an s7 now anyway
Greetings everyone. I didn’t find a thread for this specific phone model. So I am putting it up here. Few days back I decided to unlock the bootloader of my LG W41 (LM-K610IM) and upgrade to a custom ROM. So, I used fastboot mode to unlock the bootloader and up until now everything went like a dream. Problems started when I couldn't get a TWRP recovery for my specific model. I downloaded a generic one and first tried to push it to my recovery partition. That's when I learned my phone doesn't have a recovery partition. I don't know what came to me then I used fastboot flash command to flash the TWRP image to my boot partition. It was successful but my phone won't start after that. It was a softbrick. Only the LG logo started bootlooping. But the worse was still not over. In an attempt to restore my device I searched everywhere for the stock ROM as the official website is down, but couldn't find any. At last, I zeroed in on a similar device by the same manufacturer LG K52. It had the ditto hardware like LG W41. Even the model number was similar. So, I downloaded the KDZ file. Extracted the dz from the kdz and the boot.img from the dz using LG KDZ extractor . Made a scatter file using a Hovatek instruction and using WWR MTK tool and formatted my device using SP flash tool and flashed everything. Till now my device was detected by the Windows 11 PC as a LGE device. Anyways the SP tool successfully flashed everything but after that my won't turn on any more. It's total dead. It won't power on, pc won't recognize it. I have tried connecting using USB and all possible hardware key combinations. It is dead bricked I think. All because of my stupidity. Now my question is, does it have any hope left or should I throw it away and buy a new device? I am keeping my fingers crossed and hope to find a superhero
Edit 1: SP Flash tool doesn't see my device any more. I have all the specific drivers installed. From LG and from Mediatek.
