i bricked one 2 years ago never found a solution and it definitely showed 9008 mode, this newer one i have now recently also bricked after going from kingroot to magisk and it failing to a bootloop (without recovery ability or fastboot, only download)
i then used fwul to pull all but 2 partitions off the phone and reflashed recovery and boot to the device in hopes that it would resolve the soft brick. i need the sms and mms from the phone, only reason i didnt just wipe and redo.
the phone does not show up as edl or 9008 or whatever it shows up as androidnet and lgup picks it up as an unknown devices but definitely shows it. fwul shows it as lg device but i cant mount nor can i do anything with it. if there is no battery in phone and i plug it in i get a flashing battery error/ no battery warning basically.
with battery in its black while plugged in, no response nothing just shows up on computer
now when i put battery in with it not plugged in and push power button i get a weak vibrate
if i do the same thing with any combo of up down or plugged in i get nothing
my other device had a high frequency sound when battery would go in very quiet tho. this one does not
any ideas would be amazing
thanks
ps i need the messages i have data and system dump. the phoner doesnt matter just the mms and sms
no encryption no passwords i think it was on 5.1.1

This is slightly unfortunate.
Today, my phone decided to say something about the NFC process not working, like it crashed. Over and over. The moment I hit OK, it appeared again. I couldn't even unlock my phone.
I then went to TWRP and went to factory reset, and the problem was still there. Odd. I must have messed up the NFC apk.
I then went to TWRP and tried to wipe the whole phone. I can't remember which button I hit, however it was either wipe or format. I don't think I hit format, but that's all that I can think I did to cause this.
Basically, at this point, I can turn my phone on to either fastboot mode or TWRP, but normal boot gets me stuck at at the 1+ : powered by android screen.
My phone isn't seen by my PC in adb devices or fastboot - presumably because I deleted my OS, and it can't be in USB Debugging if there's no OS to be in the mode? It's either this, or I can't get my PC to see my phone because of a driver issue. If anyone can direct me on the next step of getting my phone working, I'd be greatly appreciative. I have no cares for any data on the phone, I just want it working.
UPDATE : The phone will no longer turn on. Holding any button combo for three seconds makes it buzz. Nothing changes that. It's plugged in using a Nexus 7 charger to an AC outlet.
What did you expect to happen by wiping the whole phone? Stop trying to turn it on, charge it for eight hours, then try booting it into fastboot mode and getting fastboot to work.

Hi Everyone,
I've come on bended knee, and I have about 30 xda windows up where Ive tried to upgrade a perfectly working LG from android 2.2. But no matter what I try I cant get beyond the LG wink icon on the screen.
I have tried fastboot omao4boot 1.22 modified etc but I cant get past MLO (x-loader) I say YES to this but NO to 'fastboot devises' as per instructions (although why I say no to this, I dont know?) anyway it just says 'waiting for device' but nothing happens even if I take the battery out and disconnect from USB and reconnect, nothing ever happens?
So having redone the fastboot procedure, I managed to into boot mode - yellow round icon on screen and then tried to flash using LG flash tool 1.2 with LGP920 30A bin & fls files which it does and completes successfully, I have also used the LG recovery tool to flash recovery and firmware but all of the above wont let me boot the devise it just sits at the LG Icon.
Tried booting into recovery with 3d + vol + key but just ignores and goes to red LG Icon with the usual boot sound, I just cant get anything else to work! Is it down to the MLO loader issue. I dont know what else to do.
Please can anyone help me recover my phone I wanted to upgrade to JellycreamR5 cause its suppose to be a good rom but nothing now works :crying:
I know its not a busy forum now days and most have moved on, but please any assistance to get this beautiful phone going again would be brilliant.
Thanks for the time to read about this dilemma!

Ok, so if it boots to the LG logo with boot sound it is probably nothing wrong with bootloaders. It is either the system or just something incompatible on the data partition. Of you can make it too recovery try factory reset
Ok I think Ive fixed it!
Did lots of things to try to get to work, but heres roughly the guide.
Used 'rebooter' for Optimus 3d which saved the phone in the 1st instance, it was the only flasher that completed the flash... but remember 1st unplug the phone but micro usb in then remove the battery, then hold the + vol key and insert into the Win XP computer usb, I had already prepared and ran the rebooter.bat file which was waiting for omao device. Once detected keep hold the + key add battery when it says wait 5 secs, dont let the key go, say NO to flash boot but yes to the rest. It will say job done or words to that effect.
Turn on phone holding just the + key to get into download mode. Change the LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT to com41 in control panel device manager, refresh search for new hardware to check updated port.
Then use LG Flash to flash V3.0A which worked !
Disconnect the phone remove battery and reinsert, reboot devise, it will boot in TWRP which isnt great but good enough for flash, loaded a Rom onto the sd card and installed the software, after the usual clearing everything like Delvick/Settings etc.
Job done, rebooted and worked, still got TRWP on the boot loading would prefer Clockwork but never mind, had enough of fiddling and just enjoying having my device back
Havent tried a sim in it but might have to to the IMEI fix but hoping not.
Many thanks for your input, I know tech moves on, but there is a wealth on knowledge on these devices and it just seems to be lost in the ether.
Best wishes.
rooted my phone with kingroot and it went fine then i used supersu me to remover the kingroot bullcrap after installing it it recommends you reboot your phone so i did and when i tried turning on it wont get past the lg lifes good screen! everything worked great until the stupid reboot . i plug my phone into computer and it vibrates and i can also hold volume down and power button release and press again to get into the data wipe but when i hit it a android dude comes up for a half a second then phone restarts and is stuck again ! my computer does make a noise when i plug my phone in and unplug it but it says all drivers are installed successfully except lge android MTP device and wont do much but make the connection noise and charge the phone wether its on stuck in boot or off it charges still but i have no custom recovery and i dont know what to do ? i went to open source and downloaded the whole kabam for my phone it has it all but i dont know how to make it a image so i can flash it to my phone or how i could even flash my phone considering it dont register the MTP drivers just the other drivers. ive tried several cords ect its always the same just wont boot

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
I am curious what this whole kabam is...is it a kdz? If so, you can grab an emergency tool, put the phone into download mode (IIRC, hold down the volume down button while the phone is turned off and insert the MicroUSB end of the cable (with your PC on the other end). With the right settings on the emergency tool, and with the kdz loaded, you can flash back to stock.
At any rate, I would explain your situation over here (if nothing more than a warning for others, you should find your assistance there as well):

Hope this helps, and good luck!
hi,
I've been at this for a few hours with no luck and i'm out of ideas.
I've got the Ampe A83 Quad Core 3G 7.85" Android 4.4.2 Tablet PC and I was trying to upgrade the stock android 4.4.2 to something newer. I figured out that the recovery needed to be unlocked before I could properly flash anything so I used the MTK Droid Tool.
Even though the link from DX states that it's an MTK8382 chip, the droid tool identified it as MT6582 and said the MTK8382 was "fake" so I started trying to look for MT6582 Roms.
I used the tool to create and install a custom CWM recovery, which worked and I can access to do the usual data and cache wipes.
I also used the tool to make a backup before i did anything else as well - it contains the various img files - boot.img, recovery img e.t.c... and everything else.
Now i've tried at least a dozen different roms for MTK devices and NOTHING WORKS. I've had a number of errors trying to install cyanogen but i've also had roms that appear to have successfully installed but when I reboot, nothing happens - the device is stuck in a boot loop but, thankfully, i can still get back to the recovery.
That in itself is no longer the issue really, because i'm now at the point where I just want to restore the device to how it was before I started trying to update it but i'm really at a loss as to what to do now.
The part that i'm worried about is that I didn't use the IMEI/NVRAM button which, seemingly, also performs a backup.
If it helps, I did use the tool to "Prepare Backup for Flash Tool", which worked, and I've downloaded the SP Flash Tool but i'm a bit hesitant to do anything at the moment in case I go one step too far and brick the tablet, partly because all of the guides i've read about using SP Flash to restore say that Preloader, and DSP_bl have to be unchecked before you do anything and I don't actually have the DSP_bl field as an option to even uncheck.
Any help would be most welcome, thankyou. Hopefully i've provided enough information.
For whatever reason, It appears I can now no longer get into recovery. I might see if i can charge it up for a couple of hours to see if that makes any difference.
This is going to be a very expensive mistake if I can't get anything back on this tablet as i'm going to have to replace it out of my own money as well considering it isn't actually mine and i was trying to update it for someone else.
Update:
It now appears to be stuck in what I can only describe as a "charging loop". I've plugged it in to mains power and I see the Battery Charging Symbol on the screen in the centre. It stays there for 10-15 seconds and then vanishes. A few seconds later it's back and the cycle repeats - over and over and over again. I can't even work out if it's getting any charge at all.
I've tried holding down the volume minus key and power for varying lengths of time but nothing happens. Same goes with the volume plus key and power and various other combinations.
It all seems to stem from when I had it in recovery earlier today and chose to reboot the system, thinking - stupidly - I could power it off. I assume since there's no active ROM on the tablet, it's basically rebooted in to 'nothing'.
I had the tablet plugged in to the mains for over five hours last night and got up this morning to see the same screen - the battery symbol blinking in and out.
I know the cable works because I used it to charge a mobile phone not 24 hours earlier.
well, thanks for all the responses but i'm going to have to consider this tablet dead now. nothing i do or try does anything now. it won't even give me the battery symbol now and plugging it in to the mains does nothing.
Maybe the battery is just dead and maybe i need a different USB cable but I can't deal in maybes when I have to now find a way of replacing this tablet.
So yeah, thanks for the help.
After 8 years of tinkering with Android phones I have no clue how this happened.
PIXEL 2 (Walleye, non-xl)
Tried getting TWRP and ElementalX working but either one or both weren't doing there thing, though I could at least boot and use my phone normally. Finally ended in a situation where I couldn't boot passed fastboot with an error at the bottom "ERROR: LoadImageAndAuth Failed: Load Error". Found a fix that said to change the active partition. Set it to b and that worked and surprise it loads TWRP...so somehow TWRP was installed, but I can't actually load Android.
Grabbed the latest factory image and manually flashed all the files in the zip-within-the-zip. Everything flashed with no hiccups so I rebooted to bootloader with the intention to then reboot the system, and now this is happening:
TLDR Phone won't turn on. Holding PWR+VolDown SEEMS to do nothing, but it actually flashes a line on the screen like it's trying to load something for a milisecond, then does nothing. Holding PWR+VolUp does nothing. Holding PWR+VolUp+VolDown does the same screen flash followed by the notification LED blinking red 2 or 3 times. Please help!
EDIT: if it matters, the phone is about 50% battery and currently still on judging purely by the fact that it's been warm for about an hour.
sorry for your troubles, i have yet to see this with our phones. Just to get some more information, what happens when you try and charge it? If you plug your phone in to a computer via USB, does it show up in devices? If it shows in devices, can you run platform-tools and see if it shows up via fastboot devices with an ID? If you can connect to fastboot, you could attempt to flash images that way.

Nothing happens if I plug into the computer, no sound and not listed in devices. Plugging it in to the charger does nothing except possibly charges it, but I wouldn't know because the screen doesn't seem to be able to turn on for more than a milisecond of a flash.
I had this same problem when I flashed Elemental X kernel over top of the flash kernel and all I did was use the flash-all script that is included with the system image from google. This got me back to my OS where I flashed elemental and magisk. Do you have insurance through your provider?
