Its restarts normal, i saw lg logo but after that, instead of bootanimation i saw black screen with blinking touch keys(menu, home, back, search). I pulled of battery for few seconds and put it back...turn on phone and...the same... :/ next i goes to emergency recovery and flash nova8 again and guess what? still the same!!!! after lg logo black screen with blinking touch keys! i tried to flash stock s/w with kdz updater, i tried 10a and 10e version and still the same! do u have maybe some other ideas how can i try to flash this that would maybe help me? or maybe i have to sent phone to service?

but now i dont have nova or cwm recovery ;/

try hard reset (search for it )

Download LGMobile Update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771 in this Update Kit. Then turn of phone, pull of battery and press and hold Vol+ button and plug in USB and then in LGMobile Update click on "Custommer Support" and Recovery Phone. Write your IMEI and click check. It can take a lot of time because it will download a new firmware.

nah, keep on holding that volume up then plug in the USB. have you installed the USB drivers?

Turn your phone off. Use eRecovery! Turn phone on then repeatedly hit Vol Down key then do factory reset. If no luck use KDZ updater.

yes, i plug usb cable to device with holding vol+ and 'sw upgrade, please wait...' screen appear. I tried again few minutes ago with kdz updater and via lg mobile update phone recovery and no luck. Phone is rebooting (black screen with blinking touch keys) when installing software on 90% ;/ of course installing software goes to 100% and says its completed and ok, but phone reboots on 90% ;/. I have installed all drivers, i tried on my laptop (win7) and my dad (win xp).

that's a big hello of a problem.... I jonno what else u can do... if I were u then I would flash it again and again... then maybe for the customer care center... although I think ur warranty is being voided so u will not be able to repair it for free... let's hope for the best and let us know what happens next... best of luck...

Przykro ki kolego, nie naprawisz tego sam. Musisz odeslac telefon do serwisu LG w Mławie...
Sorry pal, you can't fix it yourself. You must send it to LG service centre in Mława (Poland)...

+1 for this. Flash and flash. Try upgrading to V10E via KDZ. Me thinks it's a bootloader problem. Does LG SECURITY TEAM appears or not?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium

yeah..i flashed this several times...with kdz updater and by lg mobile update->phone recovery. I flashed 10A and 10E...results the same. I dont know how LG SECURITY TEAM looks like but i didnt see anything else besides LG LOGO--> Black screen with blinking touch keys and just Black screen with blinking keys (even without lg logo). I give up with this, there is no hope for this phone i think, today im sending this to the service. Thanks for helping me i will certainly write here what happend if i get phone back

I also stuck on the same thing
Really for that reason i hate LG Black

If you really did everything and in a right way, you can start to build a new house because you have the first brick already.But...it's not so easy to brick a phone with SFT.If you really followed the rules for Smart Flash Tool it's practically impossible.I know that people tend to panic in such situations and do something wrong in a rush.Well, take the battery, sim card and memory card out of the phone; hold the volume up button and then plug your usb cable( sure that cable and contacts are okay ), which is pluged in your computer with SFT opened; sometimes the phone enters in s/w mode in a second but sometimes needs five.Then flash a GB rom or anything you want.If nothing will happen is very much possible that you have a hardware problem( something similar happened to me when my motherboard was fu.ked and this is quite common with P970 ).Good luck.:fingers-crossed:
P.S. Are you talking about SE arc or LGE P970?

Did you maybe flash a wrong ROM? Double check please. Whats the name of your kdz file? Where did you get it from? Did you interupt the update procedure? Or did it get interrupted?

Well, the phone goes in bootloop when you flash patched files with recovery and then forget to flash Superuser.You must not boot your phone when it enters in recovery after flashing with SFT but flash Superuser from your SD card first.I think that this maybe was your first problem.But LG logo and flashing leds are also a very possible sign for a faulty motherboard.The same happened to me with one week old P970 with official firmware and not rooted, when I tried just to reboot the thing.And if your phone died after this, you can be 99.9% sure that you have a fu.ked motherboard.

[Q] Bootlooping on LG optimus Black

I have been using zeus v7.6 perfectly untill today. While i was texting someone the screen started wobbling arround. (behaving a bit like the windows xp error message when you move it arround and it leaves a trail behind it). i tried restarting in recovery mode but freezed on the lg logo, having a small faint wite line at the bottom of the screen. I have tried smartflash tool with no succes, and i have also tried the script from the cotkey, but it gets stuck at the first step. Also, i cannot interact with the KDZ updater ... I could really use some help, as i cannot afford a new phone :-/

Looks strange... do you also have a log of sft? And do you run those programs as admin? You re on XP right? Did you already disable your antivirus? Try another usb port/pc? Are you sure yourr files are good? Maybe dl the v20s from my noob how to and compare md5 sums afterwards.

great, lg emergency recovery tool tells me this model is not supported for upgrading =.=

Similar problem, I was on Huexs´s 6.4, was rooted, recovery was working, then I flashed v30d by tantrums, was using it without problems, then some problems with sd card, from that point I am not able to run recovery, so I tried to flash patched v20 with Smartflash, but when it goes to rebooting, it always stay in bootloop. Only way for me is flash v30b, then root it with Unlockroot, but thats all, I can normaly use phone rooted, but I am not able to push to phone recovery image, so I can not flash any zip file ( like new kernels. etc.).

Managed to flash V30b
i managd to flash the v30b by the kdz updater but... Everything was working normally. I shut off the phone so i can go to sleep and i put it to charge. the picture i got is the lg logo with a white faint line down the bottom of the screen again. I unplug the charger and remove the battery. The next morning it worked perfectly again for aprox. 9 hours, that i was at school. Then i try texting my gf and the pictures below show what happened... WTH? Any help would be deeply appreciated :-/

OMG are you getting the same problem as redy ? O.O That crazy screen looks like his. :/

@robusto try flashing v30B. then root your OB and flash TWRP recovery. You can do it like this:
1. Install goomanager
2. Open goomanager and provide root permision
3. Hit menu and choose 'Install OpenRecovery'.
Now you have TWRP Recovery and you should be able to flash any .zip file.
It worked for me.
(or you can get twrp recovery just by pushing the twrp recovery image file using terminal emulator).
Good luck!

any idea on how can i restore my imei from the S/W upgrade screen?
the lg united tool reads wrong imei and does not even start upgrading.

I am now on stock V30B Europe, rooted by unlockroot, uninstalled garbage and apps, whitch I dont need, using Holo launcher and LMT and am satisfied, bechmark with antutu 3100. Only I am not able change kernel, what could be phone speed up, but nevermid. I can live with it. Only can be good to convert some kernel.zip to same file, whitch can be flashed with kdz flasher or smartflashtool. Anyway thanks for ideas.

HeinekenAmstel, try to left out of phone the battery for one day, then try to flash kdz v30b for your country from here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1, but connect phone to PC without battery in. And may be is good to do it on PC with WIN XP. For me this is working better then on PC with WIN7. Good luck.

*NEW* girlfriend's BRICKED Optimus Black. REVIVING METHOD?

Its maybe 4 months since she bricked her OB to death:
>>>no lights when charging
>>>cant boot to recovery or any other boot or S/W upgrade
>>>she cant remember what she exacly did.
###### she told me she installed some cm9 or 10 rom way back then and formatted system ,data,emmc and something like that...
###### its like the EMMC PROBLEM I got on GALAXY NOTE GT N7000 that when you do wipe data on unsafe kernel, you will BRICK your Phone to death <<see death meaning above :thumbup:>>
is there some WorkAround for it?
no warranty because its over...
LG service center is toooo far because its a 10 hour drive to nearest LG service center.... (mainly becuse of Poverty)
and I may have a very gooooooood February 14 if I can bring it to life...
for LOVE of VALENTINE give me hope... :thumbup::beer:

Use smartflashtool and maybe check your drivers and if you are able to, try it at another pc as well.
