Disclaimer: I will not be responsible for anything that happens to your phone after following this post. You are doing this because you choose to and you alone are responsible for anything that may happen. Use at your own risk.
NOTE: This should work for any screen you are stuck at. I'm just mentioning the screens I have come across.
If your phone is stuck at the LG/Android boot screen or emergency mode or a black screen saying
Code:
fastboot mode started
udc_start()
then your phone isn't bricked, you dont need to panic. Your phone can be fixed right at home by following these steps.
After doing some research, I found that
Code:
fastboot mode started
udc_start()
is displayed when we do something like install custom recovery and failed. There may or may not be additional lines of text, but the procedure is the same for all such cases where the starting 2 lines are the above.
If you can boot into recovery mode (holding the home button, the lower volume button and the power button together after turning off the phone), and if you ave previously backed up your stock ROM, then you can simply flash that through recovery. Remember that the touch screen doesn't work in recovery mode, you will have to use volume up and down buttons to navigate and the menu button to select an option. The method below works even if you cant boot into recovery.
1. Download KDZ Updater and LG united mobile drivers from here.
2. Extract the rar file and install LG United mobile drivers.
3. Disable all LGE modems under modems from windows device manager.
4. Charge your phone since we cant really tell how much juice is left in the battery even though the screen is on.
5. Download the stock firmware (also known as rom) from Lg’s firmware repository. You can download the firmware and firmware version suiting your region from the links I have provided below. But many of these links may not work, so to download the stock 2.2.2 ROM build V10D_00 for India, click here. If you choose to download this stock ROM, then ignore Methods 1 & 2 given below. If however you want to download a ROM for a different country and version, then follow Method 1 or 2.
Method 1:
The following link will list all the country codes for LG optimus p 500.
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500
Press ctrl + f on the keyboard to bring up the browser search tool and type the name of your country.
Copy your country’s code. For example for india its AINDBK. Now paste it in the url below where it is marked XXXXXX.
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/XXXXX/V10b_00/V10B_00.kdz
Your link would look something like this after pasting the code
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/AINDBK/V10b_00/V10B_00.kdz
Replace the V10b_00/V10B_00.kdz with the version number you want. For example if i want to install version 10C then i would change the letters from c to b like this V10c_00/V10C00.
Now copy and paste the link in the addressbar of your browser and press enter key. Download should start.
This method may not work for all countries.
Method 2:
If the above method didn't work (it didn't for me), then here’s a list of the latest unbranded firmware as of 9/03/2011 4:15 EST

6. Install msxml (from the KDZ Updater folder) on your windows pc by double clicking it.
7. a. If your phone is stuck at the Android screen or LG screen or Emergency screen, connect your phone to your PC via USB.
b. If your phone is stuck at fastboot mode started udc_start() screen, then remove the battery and reinsert it. Now press the back key and volume up button and simultaneously connect your phone to your PC. You will get a greenish yellow screen saying Emergency mode.
8. Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe with administrator privilages (right click, run as administrator in win7).
9. In the software window, select Type as 3GQCT
Select PhoneMode as "DIAG" if your phone is not in emergency mode (i.e., if your phone is in LG/Android screen). If you are in emergency mode, select "Emergency".
In the place where you have to give path for KDZ file, select the Firmware a.k.a ROM you have downloaded using the link you made for your country specific firmware.
10. Press Launch software update and wait for about 10 or 15 minutes. The screen will then say “Emergency mode”. Just wait and let it reboot. Do not disconnect your phone till it is shown "finished".
11. Now switch on your phone. Finished!
[OPTIONAL] Hit the thanks button!
Note: If kdz is unable to see your phone, then try running kdz in compatibility mode for XP, restarting your phone, shaking your phone (I know it sounds crazy but it works sometimes!), restarting your computer, try and try again till it works.
NOTE: If KDZ stops working and phone gets stuck in recovery mode and you have to remove the battery just to turn off the phone, and you cant get into recovery mode or emergency mode, but you're stuck at a black screen, remove the battery and connect the phone via USB to a computer which has LG United mobile drivers installed. Disable all LGE modems under modems from windows device manager.
Unplug the usb cord from your PC and plug it in again. You still shouldn't have a battery in your phone, yet by plugging it in the "Emergency mode" should start automatically. Open up KDZ, select Type "3GQCT" and PhoneMode "EMERGENCY". Select a KDZ file and flash it.
NOTE: If your phone doesn't even turn on, the try holding back + vol up + power and simultaneously connect to a computer which has LG United mobile drivers intstalled via USB. Then you should reach emergency mode. Then just follow the steps mentioned above.
I know that almost all of the above info is already available in different threads, I just wanted to bring all that info together in 1 easy to find post, because when I bricked my phone I had to refer multiple threads and posts (and even some other sites) to make sure of what I was doing and get things right.

That thread uses an entirely different method. I do admit that most (though not all) the info in this thread is already on XDA, but scattered across several threads. I referred 3 or 4 threads, and some other blogs before creating this thread, so it has some info which I didn't find in XDA. And like I mentioned in the first post, I want to make an easy to find easy to understand thread which has all the information needed in 1 place.

Remove the battery and connect the phone via USB to a computer which has LG United mobile drivers installed. Disable all LGE modems under modems from windows device manager.
Unplug the usb cord from your PC and plug it in again. You still shouldn't have a battery in your phone, yet by plugging it in the "Emergency mode" should start automatically. Open up KDZ, select Type "3GQCT" and PhoneMode "EMERGENCY". Select a KDZ file and flash it.
I'm adding this to the first post so it can be found easily.

+1 For all , Beside , The KDZ Updater Can Brick Your Phone!
So don't unbrick your phone with KDZ Updater!
The best way to unbrick:
1. If you got Fastboot by flashing wrong rom or recovery , use Fastboot command.
2. If you have a " Heavy Useless Black Optimus " , you can use it as A BRICK to build your house OR unbrick it with money at LGE.

Just search in google.
Thanks mate for taking the time to do the write-up. Much appreciated!
As for the alleged other threads on the topic - this one showed up highest on my google search (add "site:xda-developers.com" to the google search terms) , so the other threads don't have the right keywords in.
Its not about whether the information is already on the forums - its about how accessible the info is.
Was trying to install a P500 ROM yesterday afternoon, I bricked my phone - would not go past the Android splash screen... ended up trying repeatedly before finally able to get back into phone and breathing a sigh of relief!!
Props to everyone that contributed to this thread and helped with all the info provided.
What worked for me was:
Removed SD card
REMOVED BATTERY (after 20+ attempts, it was the only thing that made it finally work!)
Disabled Android modem in Windows (running Win7 x64)
Run KDZ in WinXP SP2 mode as Administrator
Once KDZ finished, I disconnected USB cable, replaced battery and successfully rebooted phone.
Shut down phone again and reinstalled SD card, rebooted and everything worked as intended!
Thanks again to everyone who contributed to this thread You are all lifesavers lol

i WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree!! this thread is very useful and is successful in terms of 'bringing it all together' far more then any of the others. Why must some of these members ***** and moan and whine about 'spam'?! yes thats what it is when you say SPAM GET SOMEONE TO DELETE. dont like it dont read it because to be honest had this thread been here months ago...5 optimus ones ago.....sure there are lots that explain howtos....many in unclear, leaving much to the imagination steps(not very well explained) i blame myself for my bricks for following tuts that clearly state (dont blame me if you brick!) then carry on with instructions with the full assumption that every user is going to know those little things that arent even being mentioned during the process. im not really insulting anyone but suggesting some mind their own, others will definitely find good use with more detailed and 'dumbed down' steps and details. noone knows everything...even you whiners and moaners claming SPAM SPAM DELETE MOD DELETE. seriously....some have far too much time on their hands...clearly as it appears i currently do get a life some ppl dont know as much and need a little more 'hand holding' tutorials and this one really would have saved me time and alot of headache period. good tut OP, few months late but hey its here...imma dig out some bricks now and givem another go. \o/

Quite unrelated to SGM here but I'd like to stick to my regular forum. I have a friend who lives with me and he has an old samsung s7350 which is currently frozen. It needs to be unfreezed in order to use any of the services. Only currently available service is SOS. Basically he tried a few dodgy unlock codes to try unlock to all networks but ended up freezing it!
Anyway, all he needs is a 5.4.4 version of multiloader because it's the only version compatible with that phone and once we have that (exact) version, we can unfreeze the phone. Does anybody have the version to upload for me? Many thanks!

Thumbs up!
Actually, the URL is dead.. but I tried googling the link for any mirrors and I found one on chinese website called 115.com or smth.. (I dont remember ).. I've tried this ROM... very nice bro! Removed all the annoying chinese things... and also able to root!! I've been searching for any root software to root this SCH-i559 CDMA but couldn't do this.. It's okay now...
Very Nice work... I'm now testing this ROM... and I'll request the other features.. I want.. thanks!
cheers up!!!
Is this rom is for galaxy mini?
If not why you post it here?
Of cuz this ROM is for Galaxy Mini... it's from the series of Galaxy Mini.. except that this one is for SCH-i559 (CDMA) version..
btw, I've been testing the ROM and found something.. they are;
- I can't Sign-in into my Google account
- It would be better if the camera shutter sound can be removed cuz it's so annoying with taking snap shots to my friends in our hang out..
- There's no cam-coder to record video.. I think! (I'm not sure cuz I unintentionally destroyed my stock Camera.apk and now using other 3rd party app: and when it switched to video recorder mode, it got errors and exited)
- And this one is big.. I remember when in Android 2.2 (Froyo) I can find my friends name just by typing no. according to their name in phone mode (for e.g. Justin >> 587846 then Justin's contact shows up in phone mode) After updating to GB, (I mean stock ROM also.. not only this one) that feature disappears.. we can't find our contacts only if we know their name... so, we've to type exactly their ph: no. to show up the correspondent friend from our contact which is awkward! We may only remember their name.. and for me, things like remembering only ph: no. and forget name phenomenon never happens to me... So, I want to include this feature if possible..
That's all for now... Thanks for making this ROM... will looking forward to this ROM's future updates!!!!!! =)
Thanks
UPDATE:
Now able to use Google's services after doing factory reset in recovery mode.. =)

btw, I've been testing the ROM and found something.. they are;
- I can't Sign-in into my Google account
- It would be better if the camera shutter sound can be removed cuz it's so annoying with taking snap shots to my friends in our hang out..
- There's no cam-coder to record video.. I think! (I'm not sure cuz I unintentionally destroyed my stock Camera.apk and now using other 3rd party app: and when it switched to video recorder mode, it got errors and exited)
- And this one is big.. I remember when in Android 2.2 (Froyo) I can find my friends name just by typing no. according to their name in phone mode (for e.g. Justin >> 587846 then Justin's contact shows up in phone mode) After updating to GB, (I mean stock ROM also.. not only this one) that feature disappears.. we can't find our contacts only if we know their name... so, we've to type exactly their ph: no. to show up the correspondent friend from our contact which is awkward! We may only remember their name.. and for me, things like remembering only ph: no. and forget name phenomenon never happens to me... So, I want to include this feature if possible..
That's all for now... Thanks for making this ROM... will looking forward to this ROM's future updates!!!!!! =)
Thanks
UPDATE:
Now able to use Google's services after doing factory reset in recovery mode.. =)

Hello. Couldn't find a post related to this. I'm not a lazy browser, been on XDA for many years through many phones. Just haven't had the need for a user account until now.
I see the 7.2.4.0.0 version is removed from MIUI websites and i can think of a few reasons already.
Does anyone else have this problem too? I have the 3GB version and normally start out with 1.7gb RAM after a boot. Gradually over the day (even after closing apps) it goes slowly down to 200mb and i have to do a reboot.
Or Does anyone have the 6.5.30 version and could tell if it uses up the RAM over time?
Sincerely
John

You have a fake rom. 7.2.4.0.0 is not an official MIUI rom and newer was. 7.2.4.0 is an official rom.
You should flash the official rom.

Thank you. I didn't notice the extra zero and didn't think it was unoffical.

You are on an un-official modefied version.
The fake version is 7.2.4.0.0 <- your version.
The real official and supported by Xiaomi version is 7.2.4.0
Hi,
Hope I can get some help. I recently just picked up a unit and am on 7.2.4.0.0. Realised it was a fake rom but I seem to have trouble flashing the global rom or the china stable rom. Believe my bootloader is locked at this point and have applied through the unlock miui website but that will take at least 10 days or more to get the SMS.
Frustratingly, I have seen some solutions on the miui forum and there was one proposed solution, of which many were finding success, that includes booting to recovery mode and then hitting shift + [flash] when connected to the Chinese miPCsuite. My update only goes by to mid 50% levels and then its stuck on for several hours! Is this a USBC to USB port incompatibility issue (if it was it wouldn't have recognized the phone right?) or is my phone just beyond saving ? At this point, im not confident in using other solutions as they look highly technical and some have highlighted that their phone has bricked in doing so.
Appreciate any advice! thanks. PLEASE HELP!

if you already tried the simple steps as stated then there are no more simpl steps left.
Do an EDL flash and make sure you clear all, and be aware that most Mi flash stuff works best on Windows 64Bit.

What he said, download the latest, both files can be obtained HERE
-MiFlash tool - step 1
-official fastboot rom - step 2
install the MiFlash tool
extract the downloaded rom (tgz) then extract the output file (tar) > make sure you copy the path of the directory where you see all the files like flash_all flash_all_lock etc..
reboot your phone into fastboot mode (you can access this by turning off your phone, hold vol - and power)
make sure you have adb on your pc
type this: the first line is optional to see if the phone is recognized.
Code:
fastboot devices
fastboot oem edl
edit: I should mention, do not panic, the screen of the device will turn black but will still remain on.
launch the MiFlash tool
Click on Refresh, you will see a device right now in the list called COM (some number) >>>> it will be ticked
Paste the copied directory path into the white... uhh search bar thingy . or just click Browse and select the appropriate path.
Click Flash
edit: once done, simply unplug your phone and restart it by pressing the power button.
That should be all

Thanks for the reply! Before proceeding, I actually received the SMS to unlock the bootloader but im still at work so I cant go back and attempt the unlock. So just trying to manage my expectations here.
Is it safe to assume that all I need to do now is log in to the unlock tool by miui and unlock? because im still on 7.2.4.0.0 (the unofficial discontinued rom) and I have no way of flashing it to any other roms. My last attempt last night was again, stuck at 52% after a nights worth of wait! TT

Thanks for the help. I will attempt this as a last resort. I just received the SMS to unlock my bootloader. Hopefully its as simple as logging in and unlocking so I can get rid of this pesky 7.2.4.0.0 supposed "Global" rom.
i have successfully flashed to global rom!!! but now i have no audio coming from the speakers!!!! is it just my luck!!!??? and after reflashing again.. its completely dead.. its goes into the sign in to miui welcome page and just goes insane.. like to the point where i cant even select options and and random menu sounds keep coming up.. cant even turn off i had to reboot to fastboot.. is a goner? sighs..
7.2.4.0.0 to Resurrection Remix (CM13)
- unlock bootloader
- flash TWRP with fastboot
- install Resurrection Remix
- install GApps
- reboot, now it's say Google play stopped.
- go back to TWRP
- wipe data
- reboot and everything is working

Hi, on russian site they have already done it
ttp://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=749517&st=560#entry51150598
Add "h" in the beginning (I don't have permission to publish links )
And use google translate
PS. Don't forget to create backup before all manipulations. Especially IMEI

I finally made it to flash TWRP with a flash tool I found via a doogee-blog, a official doogee Q&A site and a blog on doogeemobile.
Why do I have to verify so often?
EDIT: I had a look at my documents, got the flash tool from dogeemobile.com and the TWRP 3.0.2 from needrom. You have to pay attention that you use ROMs for the particular processor of the maxpro (MT6737 M). SU from here of course. :good:
HTH
Why do I have no verification to do any more??
still cant do it
messing around for a week and still no sucess.
flash tool says !sucessful! but i reboot and get stock recovery - not what i expect (twrp)...
also cpu-z says is mt6735- but if i try that one i get :
chip type not match
targetef use value 0xA4020000
but it works with mt6737 - it just dont reboot into that other loader....
any ideas
mlcrip co uk/DooGee/i1.jpg
also tried both x5pro and x5maxpro...
(TWRP-Doogee-X5-MAX-PRO.zip)
(TWRP_Recovery_X5_Pro.rar)
dev enabled, usb debugging, oem unlocking on,
also yes, i do imediately go for bootloader (volume up while turning on)- doesnt work no matter what.
UPDATE:
DooGee X5Max_Pro MT6737M (Android 6.0, 20161123, kernel 3.18.19+)
i sorted it. turns out i had to use x32TWRP (fund it here somewhere on this site)
MT6737M_Android_scatter.txt (plus image come with it)
SuperSU-v2.78-SR3-.zip
also i randomly went for adb commandline to 'unlock rom' not sure if it was necessary, but wont hurt.
so if any noob wanna easy way,
1. 'minimal adb and fast boot' to unlock rom (few cmd commands and you done)
2. start flash tool, set CORRECT scatter file (MT6xxx- if you set wrong model it will give you error popup)
3. set DOWNLOAD ONLY' on drop down box. press DOWNLOAD button.
4.REMOVE BATTERY off your phone. Plug usb cable. youll get 'sucess' pop up window. close the flash tools. disconnect phone but keep it OFF!
5.pop in the battery. press volume up+on button.
at this point you should get some proper user interface, not the black screen with some letters (stock bootloader) something went wrong.
what you should see imediately once you turn it on- just google TWRP images lol.
techbeasts.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/TWRP-Recovery.bmp
also all files needed (incl flash tool) i dropped here:
one by one (in case if someone needs scatter file or something)- or inside 'all' folder- all tools compressed into rar

Hi
I have bought a used lg v40 v405ua variant written on box ( which doesnt show sprint or at&t logos/ bloatware or branding) ; I bought it as stuck in bootloop .
I do not know if before it was flashed to this model , or anything else.
After some patience and a number of factory reset I've managed to go over the red lg logo bootload screen freeze, go through the initial settings page and with wifi OFF and no simcard in to arrive to the home page , without freeze ;
I was also able to navigte settings , and to switch to developer / enable oem unlock ON , and usb debugging ON.
I was able to get IMEI , to see it runs Android 9 after factory reset , to read it is v405ua variant , to enter camera and take a pic .
The phone is currently On shows time and date on double tap and I am able still to navigate it into settings with no slow down or freeze .
If I navigate or get into some app with wifi off , or equally if I turn on wifi and it starts exchanging data or updating (?) , then it slows down instantly, usually stuck on a black screen and the 3 android buttons downside , sometimes I am able to push power button and use power menu to turn it off , the majority of times it is freezed and it needs volume down + power button to restart ;
any restart will get it to the lg red logo boot screen , and freeze there ( and I will need to try factory reset/erase ).
I am no expert at all on android/mobiles/recoveries , I can't imagine if it is software that is corrupt or if it is an hardware problem or what else .
I 've read many different threads about unlocking bootloader , rooting (or changing model and else), and I am not sure as there are many options
what should I try from here ?
ps a side information : if I turn on Bluetooth the icon in the tiles menu' blinks on and off , or when I enter the bluetooth activation page and switch it on it remains a pale blue >> in the meanwhile the phone cant see or be seen by any other bluetooth device .
Any help ? thanks all of you who can help me this out
I recommend you start from scratch.
Start here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-lgup-root-t3967858
Use LGUP and Download mode to flash the latest version (Oreo or Pie) of the V40 OS to the phone.
[NG]Owner
started here :good:https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v40/how-to/guide-lgup-root-t3967858
Download These FIles: DLL LGUP UI_Config
v40 with no root ( my case ) :
Step 1. Install the provided LGUP.msi (you should now have C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP)
Step 2. Install the provided DLL (you should now have C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\Common)
Step 3. Extract the LGUP_UI_Config_m250n_[cxz].zip file anywhere on your computer, then copy or move the file to the common folder (the same one the DLL installs too)
Step 4. Enter download mode and flash any KDZ that is compatible with your device with the Refurbish or Upgrade options.

I did 1. 2. 3.
not sure which "compatible" KDZ should I get , as I don't know which v405UA model is my v40 , .. : supposely there's more v405UA ( different?) models and different KDZ for different v405UA models too ?

My recommendation is to cross flash over to the US version (unless you are not in the US).
Grab either the Oreo or Pie version here:
https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmv405qa-firmwares/
[NG]Owner
I am not in the US ( I am in EU )
I am ready at step 3.
OEM developer and USB debugging are switched on , I don't know if I need something else .
+ I still need to understand which "compatible" ( as stated in the lgup thread ) KDZ , among many , to flash it with lgup , and then try the procedure .
no luck until now trying with LGUP 1.15 or 1.16
installed both but they do not start / do not show anything any dialog window any app any alert

That usually means a driver issue. I think you have to have the phone plugged into and recognized by the computer beforre anything will show in LGUP.
As for the kdz, these are the European kdzs: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-lmv405ebw-firmwares/

it was an Antivirus ( AVG )
at least , I removed it and then all went straight .
I flashed it with the v405QAe20 kdz with lgup 1.16 - refurbish option . very fast and straight .
Now I have "v405UA20e" listed settings / phone / software ( no v405QA20e as expected ) and should probably try flashing it to a european version (?)
New problem though ........ the phone doesn't freeze anymore , but now it shuts off on his own from time to time
where to go from here ? root ?

It depends dude, are you trying to use it in EU? If yes then it'd be a good idea to flash a stock rom from that area. It enables radios/bands that are used in your area so that you'd have no issues calling/texting or i'net.
The post right above yours links to the appropriate ROMs for you so you should have all you need.
After you've flashed the ROM, I'd do a factory reset, in the settings app, not in recovery unless you have the original email info, otherwise you might trigger FRP and you wouldn't wanna do that. This might help with your reboot issue, in fact I'd do it twice in a row just in case.
There you go, you're all set.
I did the factory reset. Problem is ( new...completely) phone have hard time in recharging now......this is *completely new* problem. it came out of nowhere only after last self-switch off( and after flashing the new firmware v405uae20) ; before never showed it . When it was off and I plugged it (before the flash), the phone always got the battery icon showing in the center of the black screen /with the percentage of battery reached.
Now it doesn t.
Or it is an hit and miss ( and it doesn't depend on charger or failing usb port) . Before this the phone has remained alive 4 days without much use and no simcard in, without issues
