LG Optimus 3D p920 stuck in loading

hello
(I) have and LG 3D stuck in loading
when i power on the phone, it shows an android package and a progress bar
and after few seconds (3-7) the the screen shows:
formatting data
formatting cache
then, the phone shuts down, this happens with both normal boot or pressing vol+ and the power-on button
I don't know how the problem been occurred, but i think it is a bad recovery file or something like this that my friend tried to flash onto the phone
SO, i installed the phone driver (from LGInstaller)
then, i tried making a restore from 'LGMobile update' (it downloaded a big file to flash, and say it's ok -that the phone is updated-) but no result
LG PC Suite IV is not recognizing the phone
when i try flashing any recovery, the commands are not recognizing the phone
because it keeps just few seconds before powering off (i also tried to flash in the time but nothing good)
When tried using flashboot, it doesn't also know the phone
(used fastboot devices)
i searched lot in forums but can't find a solution
so i'm stuck here,
Here is a picture showing the problem
multisiteupload.com/files/0FOIEGTI /video.rar
Edit:
i used 'LGFlashTool' to flash a .bin file, but in about 80% it says: restarting the phone, and nothing happens, then i get failed in 100%
with 'B_SmartFlashTool_Extern' the flashing goes good, but nothing changed

already tried it, the problem is i can't make step 2, which is enabling debug
and the PC is not recognizing the phone
when i open that programs, i it says that no device is connected
i will give it another try
Edit: i found a new thread that i think it may help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17177547&postcount=2
but the problem is that fileserve is no longer a file sharing website, so i can't get the bin files
i'm goggling it but nothing yet, hope to find a bin, cuz i didn't try that way in the thread

tried another one but the same problem
also tried: EMERGENCY instead CS_EMERGENCY
and i hope to know the differences between all these modes
i think the solution may be with flashing a bin file, but i don't have any bin and can't find one (fileserve is blocked now)

Stock Android recovery is annoying to get into.
It takes me 3 - 4 times to boot into it.
Use [Vol Down + 3D] + Power
Try various ways
Hold down the Vol Down + 3D until the screen turns black.
Hold then down until you see the LG logo.
Hold then down while inserting the battery
Also, make sure the power cord is unplugged.

Help!!! Please help me!!!

Hi guys, I'm desperate, I did exchange a few days with my phone, I took a 2 Atrix UK, the phone is 3 days, running perfectly, today I'm going to reboot the phone and what happens?? Practically, will not restart, remains on the animation of your phone!! I did a hard reset manually with the English guide, but nothing after the hard reset, to reboot the phone, is again locked on startup screen animated!!! Please guys, help me, I do not know what to do, I did several hard resets, but does not go!!

You did an exchange through who? If your talking about the carrier and its only a few days old then claim the warranty on it and get a new one... have you rooted it?

I made ​​a trade by an individual, I am Italian, he has bought a site, if the ship is done, can you tell me if there is a way to solve the problem without assistance?

first off pull your battery so it does not die looping. go to the thread in my signature. Go to the mirrors. in there is a download for the return to stock script. Download it. turn on your phone while holding the volume up plus down buttons. choose fastboot. plug in a usb cable to your computer and run the script. it will set your phone completely back to stock, therefore wiping all user data. whatever you do do not remove the usb cable in the middle of the script running or you will brick your phone. if you do not understand this, or still need more help, just say so.

Which one should I download? Super Charged V5 or Lithium V1.2- OP

I downloaded the Skript, I've made ​​your statement and I did the procedure as "restore stocks. bat", now says "waiting for device", I'm doing it right or I wrong something?

you have to force it to boot into fastboot. to do this pull the battery then turn it on while holding both volume buttons, you should get a list of boot options, choose ap fastboot from the list and the computer should recognize it. let me know if not

ok, you do not have to do anything with the serial number. it just varifies that the phone is actually connected properly, if it does not show, it will not work to run the script. What does the phone say while in fastboot mode. it shoud say something like "usb connected, good to program" and something about the battery being ok.
Did you unzip the file before running the script? or did you just go into it i windows explorer and run it? make sure you unzip it first. then open a command prompt and
Code:
cd "path where you unziped it"
then
moto-fastboot devices
and see if it shows your phone or not.

That means your phone is in warranty go to the store ask them for replacement or there maybe some software problem in your phone.

Phone Bricked After Installing OTA Update

I recently purchased an Oneplus 7 pro from Ebay and the phone was working fine. It's locked to T-Mobile and it prompted me to take an update, I believe the update was for November 2019 and was almost 2 gb in size. I rebooted the phone when it said to reboot to install the new features, and the phone never came back on after that. I tried charging it for hours, tried holding the power button + volume up/down buttons to get it to reboot, and none of this has done anything for the phone. There's no sign of life, the phone was working great prior to the update.
Is there any suggestions for fixing this?
Thanks.

I think it was the cable I was using that was causing it....used a better usb cable and it recognized in the Device Manager.
I can't flash it though as it gives error "param preload device not match image"

Hi,
I'm assuming you are trying to revive the phone using MSM tool. If so, the only successful way to do this is to connect the phone to a USB 2.0 port using the official cable. This will make the phone appear on the tool and then you can proceed.

I was able to get it to flash successfully. I used the files from the tmobile to international conversion since it required a hacked MSM tool. I'm a complete Noob at phone flashing and really spent a LOT of time reading tonight to figure it out. Phone flashed successfully but said the battery was now too low to turn on. At least it says something!
I'm charging it up now and hopefully it works after this!

I use a USB 3.0 and USB c port on my computer and no issues

OK so I manage to get the phone flashed to the international version using the MSM tool. I then downloaded the DP 3 developer file like suggested. I put it in the root for my phone, went to system settings, system update, and got to install it locally. It installed 100% and then asked me to reboot for the changes to take effect.
I reboot the phone and then nothing, it's black and unresponsive the way it was when this whole thing started.
I'm sure I can just reflash the international file with MSM to get it working, but is there any reason why updating my phone in this manner always fails and a way for me to fix it?

Really, I couldn't get the phone to come up on the MSM tool in the Qualcomm mode on USB 3 port. But when I connected the cable to the USB port, it appeared there.

You don't have bootloader unlocked? You might need to find your correct msm tool for your device, depending on if you got your phone from OnePlus or T-Mobile, or send it in for repair? A few people on here, including me, also was able to send it to OnePlus via 1 day airmail and have it shipped back the same way and repaired all for free. That might not be an option for you though, I don't know how much you need your phone but if it's bricked either way it might be the best option. Try the msm tool first though instead of using fastboot to flash stock.

A phone wouldnt have an unlocked bootloader from the start right? I've never been this deep in **** with my android so this is all really out of my depth. Ill send a message to the oneplus support while the file from the other post downloads, maybe it'll work after all

My bad, didn't see that he changed op. I mean if he could not connect through msm, there are a few options to try, including installing a driver manually for the qcom device. I had to fiddle with drivers and whatnot for about an hour or so before flashing was able to successfully commence. msm should help but scheduling a remote repair might take a day or so from oneplus so might as well try you know?

No it would not, however msm tool does not use unlocked bootloader. I was informed that you tried it and it did not work and removed it from your op, but what would not work? was the device not seen on com port?

i havent used an msm? i couldnt get the com port to show up, or It was like showing up for short periods while i was doing certain inputs, but not long enough to get anything done

So you tried it though it sounds like. It requires specific steps to work. You need drivers to be installed, go into EDL mode by having the device off and holding volume up while plugging the device into your computer, and then you have to start it when the device is enumerated. Are you willing to try msm again? The only other options really are to have a remote session with oneplus, which might take a day or so to get done, or send it for free for repair?

its the holding buttons part thats a little weird but im definitely ready to try it again. The problem occurs with how my phone is powercycling by itself whatever I do while its not in fast boot mode. This makes the MSM stop detecting the phone and I have to start over.

Yeah, I have bricked my op9 so many times I know what you are talking about. With the power cycling thing I have no idea why that happens, but sometimes if I start the msm tool while it is detected, it will stay in EDL mode and stop cycling. Other times I realized that it was not really in EDL mode to begin with. Make sure that the device is completely off. Open up msmtool and get it ready. Hold volume down and up, without holding the power button, and then connect it to your pc. Once it shows up just click start. You might need to try different usb ports, and/or make sure that your drivers are installed for qcom device in edl mode.

Thank you! i think im ready to start this hell, the "qualcom something 8001ish" driver showing up(while the phone shows up in msmtool) would mean the drivers are correctly installed right?

I believe so? in device manager you should see the device and then COM... like COM4 or COM3 or something, as long as it is COM and then a number, and if it shows up in msmtool then the drivers are probably installed. The process won't work if you dont have drivers set right, so try it and if it fails make sure that it is the right msmtool and that you have drivers installed. Do not touch it while it is doing its thing, lay it down on a surface or something just to be safe. Also you might not have to do this but I have found success with msmtool by going offline like disconnecting ethernet and turning off wifi, and setting my date back to december of 2018 in windows before starting the tool, I do not know why but if it fails try that first above all else.

how do i make sure the phone is turned off, just when it goes black? and when I hold the volume buttons it goes into fast boot, does this mean I was too slow?

Yeah it should just be black screen. It goes into fastboot? You sure you aren't hitting the power button as well? In fastboot select power off. When it's off, hold only the volume buttons, and then plug it in.

im not touching the powerbutton, it confuses me as well. do I wait for it to vibrate before I plug in the phone?

Bricked bootloader? ULEFone Armor X7

Hello all. Firstly, i wish to apologise if this isnt the right place. But its been a while since ive been here, and couldnt find a ULEFone section.
Ill try to be as descriptive as i can.
Ive got my hands on a ULEFone Armor X7 that was running Android 10. It came to me with the problem of when you boot it up, it complained about corrupted firmware. And i had to press the power key to continue. They tell me it happened when they clicked on a link from a message and it took them to some website ending in RU. The phone rebooted and then displayed that every time.
So i went to their support page, and downloaded all the files needed to restore the firmware to stock. Using the SP_MDT programm they provided, Followed all the instructions to the letter. And everything responded as expected.
Looking around with other users who use mediatek/ULEFone devices this seems to be the norm.
-Plugged into the phone while holding volume down. Started a Port scan using the software
-Then using the software i start a firmware upgrade on the 1 port my device was connected to
-Let that finish, and i should unplug and reboot the phone
Except when it came time to reboot the phone. It just doesnt power on now. And now when plugging into the PC it comes up with "USB Device unrecognised/damaged"
If i leave it unplugged for say 30 mins and try again. The computer recognises it this time. But when i try to do a port scan with the tool again, it just fails.
Tried various PC's and differeing windows versions. All with the same results.
Is this phone now basically a goner? Or is there a chance i can recover it?
And what would have went wrong?
Thanks in advance

I suspect you're going about it the wrong way.
You shouldn't be holding any button when you connect for flashing

This was what was mentioned in the manufactures documents for reflashing the firmware. As holding down volume down while plugging in puts the phone into bootloader mode.
Pressing nothing when plugging in doesnt give me anything.

Why don't you try SP flash tool. I'm not sure if this model has secure boot but I'm guessing its DA file is contained in the zip you downloaded if it does

I will give this one a go (As soon as im able) and let you know what happens. Thanks

So this one gave the the same problems.
The DA Download bar goes to 100%. Sits there for a while then bails out.
However i did get a nice error message pop up that will hopefully help.
Hope this helps

I have not managed to get much further than thia. My guess is the phone is hard bricked. No amount of different software/drivers etc seems to have any effect.
It gets to the DA Download phase at 100%. But then just sits there. And then failes out with the above message. From what ive read about this does indead mean its done for.
Thanks for the help all the same

did you manage to fix it ?
