How to unbrick LG Optimus One P500

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/

PLS help

We are in the same boat mate..
Standing to lose all the data on my fone..
Thanks to xiaomi..

We are aware of this issue and we are working on a fix. My personal opinion this "locked bootloader" is useless.. If someone doesnt want to play around with it they will just leave it. Anyway... The should be an update of Mi Suite soon that will fix this problem, thank god that I didnt update lol

Well most beta testers used Xiaomi's reccovery which worked fine with the update so they did not end up in a bootloop but for users like us using TWRP it was otherwise. Try doing a request again maybe? Write bit more details etc. I do apologise for the inconvenience of this update being released, I'm happy i never updated myself as I do use my phone a lot for business purposes which is very vital.

I'm using this, is it the older version? working well.
xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V7.1.4.0.LXHCNCK_v7-5.1.zip
No updates showing in updater. I s everyone saying they now have no phone?
I need phone for work why am I having no issues.
I see no way back as the update disables fastboot. Luck and only luck stopped me applying the update.

Posted another req for unlock..keeping my fingers crossed..

So whats the best course of action? thinking return to stable, lock bootloader and sell. Anyone got a better idea?

Exactly what @arkabose said. You can also disable automatic download.

So this looks like the only option for the lucky ones who haven't locked their bootloader.

1. Due to large amounts of requests, please wait for 10-12 days after submitting your application. If you haven't get any info after 10-12 days, please make a thread on en.miui with your Xiaomi account number, we will check it for you. Thanks for understanding
2. The unlocking procedure only supports MIUI China developer version (6.1.12 or later version) currently. MIUI China stable version will get supported in future updates
3. Some Mi Note Pro users could not unlock bootloader after updating to 6.1.12. This issue will be solved in the next update

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

Nice!!
Good reason to practice my Russian :victory:
Thanks a lot, Sir!

altrom also has a rom can be installed via TWRP. Not sure how legit it is though.

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

I need help to bypass the password login (Huawai P9 EVA-L09)

Hey guys,
last weekend my Huawai P9 battery got empty over the night and on the next morning after charging i noticed that the phone ask me for a password. Before i just used my finger sensor to get back into it but as you know after a complete restart it ask for the set password.
The problem is that i do not remember it in any way and right now i am @ 1 hour waiting time between the attempts.
I really don't want to delete and reset the phone and loose all my data. So i hope someone can help me to solve that problem to get back access to my phone without loosing all data.
Phone data:
Name: Huawai P9
Model: EVA-L09
Latest official available Android update installed.
No Root, No Modification
What i have tried so far:
1. Google Android Manager
I logged into my google account and tried to reset the password but google tells me it cant replace the password because its already active. So looks like that reset way only works for pin and gesture phones but not for ones that already have an active password.
2. dr.Phone
I have downloaded dr.phone toolkit for android and tried the unlock locked screen option but it tells me that the phone is not supported.
3. ADB / Fastboot
I installed ADB and fastboot on my system and tried to connect the phone to delete the password.key file. ADB is running on my windows but it does not get any connection to the phone because the phone has no developer option enabled and i am not able to enable it because it cant access it.
Fastboot does detect my phone but yea i cant delete a file with it right?
Greetings,
Chris

I would pay for a working solution so please help me to find a solution.

-I could only imagine that you are able to unlock your bootloader with DC Phoenix (normal bootloader unlock would cause data loss and u would need DC Phoenix for the oem lock)
-Maybe u are able to flash TWRP recovery with DC Phoenix and backup your files from there but i dont know if TWRP works without an unlocked bootloader.
-All in all DC Phoenix is a risky tool.

Stop stop stop.....
Is your phone under warranty? If it is, dont touch the bootloader or flash anything. Send it back to Huawei to fix it.
If its no longer under warranty, is it requesting a password to unlock your phone or is it the password for decrypt storage? And last question, do you use the finger print scanner to unlock your phone?

only solution with bootloader locked is the wipe data/factory reset inside erecovery

Reactivation Lock Bypass (Samsung Account)

Hi everybody, I don't know if this will help all you but this is what worked for me (Android 6.0.1):
1. On the setup wizard (after factory wipe), connect to internet (wifi/data)
2. Select "Emergency call"
3. Call to any valid number (112 for example)
4. When the calls start swipe to the left on the dialing screen and you will see message and browser displayed (in my case the message method doesn't works).
5. Select browser.
6. Go to google.
7. Search for Package Disabler Pro 9.8
8. Download it and install it.
9. Open it and search for "Samsung account".
10. Click on Clear Data and then Disable.
11. Go back to google and search for QuickShortMaker
12. Install it and open it.
13. Search for "Setup Wizard", it will expand.
14. Select the one with ".setupwizards.SetupExitActivity"
15. Done! You can now use the phone and restart.
Ok after this you can go and check that there is no Samsung account displayed (Settings>Accounts), buuuuut, you can't add it . What I did was:
1. Go back to Package Disabler Pro and enabled "Samsung Account".
2. Then go to Settings>Back up and reset
3. Factory data reset
4. Asked for Samsung account and I inserted my real account.
5. Done, now I can sync with my account.
The oooooooonly issue that I can't figure out it's the way to remove the "Reactivation lock" from Settings>Lock screen and security>Find my mobile.
Well that's all hope it works for you guys.
If this doesn't work for you, you can check out unlockjunky, they will definitely be able to do it.
Good luck!!

112
What ever you do, absolutely do not dial for example ( 112 )
Turns out 112 will connect you to your local emergency dispatch.....
Ask me how I know...
please change your number in the above post for newbies who may be trying to learn and have no clue what these phones are capable of...
Thanks

Mate, you are an absolute legend! I've been searching for 8hrs looking for a solution after hard resetting my phone and being unable to get past the Samsung Account lock afterwards (even though I had the right username & password!) About fifty useless/outdated YT videos & a few hundred websites/forums later - none of which were helpful, I finally stumbled across your post, despite it not showing up 8hrs ago when I came straight to XDA hoping to find a solution first.
I have an improved method for #2, 3 & 4 of your post and will add all relevant info soon (just need some kip now that the panic is over). I'll also expand a little on some details and include further options which worked in my particular case, but all n'all - you're an absolute legend mate and I'd be screwed & still panicking without your shared info. Huge thanks...

Nice meme dude ya got me

You have to dial an emergency number or this trick doesn't work. Its not practical for most folks but if you are worried about dialing an emergency number I'd recommend using a SIM out of a tablet that isn't phone number enabled.

Look for Aptoide apk download it to sd card and search for package disabler in this app and install it or download and copy Pachkage disabler you your sd card and run via file explorer or download and run ES File manager as I did.

when i make the call my wifi gets turned off and wont come back on till i restart the phone. i managed to open the browser but the wifi is off so i cant do anything after that except cry.
stock 5.0

Did you get it figured out I got the edge 6 plus to work fine now it was one of the tougher ones and I've done a few on some newer models what are you stuck on?

I thought the Combination Firmware would reset the FRP lock by default after being installed.

first thank you for sharing ur experience and i want to add
that i done it step by step and it works nicely but still cant remove the reactivation
and here is how iv done it after i bypassed it using ur method
i flashed a lower modem file from stock rom N910VVRU2BOG5 which is 5.0.1
at this point my imei went off
so i went for full flash by N910VVRU2BPA1_N910VVZW2BPA1_N910VVRU2BPA1_HOME. which is 5.1.1 and did full hard reset
then i just signed in with the last Samsung account i used with ur method earlier and it passed so now i can easly remove reactivation mark , unlock and root then make it Arabic .
thx again

Did you ever post up the suggested steps to replace #'s 2-4 in the original post above? I'm not seeing them anyplace. This would be a big help. Thanks.

When I call I can't swipe to the right is there another way to open browers

I successfully used this to gain access to my phone but I believe that if I power cycle it I will be locked out again. Is there any way to remove or change the samsung account now that I am in? The options are greyed out in settings.

ADB and Root.
Hey, I have been working on these for a while keep finding new things each time I try to remove Reactivation Lock. However I was wondering if I show you guys how to enable ADB with RSA Key, and Root the device. Could someone show me how to remove the Reactivation Lock using root. I used other methods on older and newer models, but these S5's are the only ones giving me issues.

After weeks of going mad trying different solutions I've found online, here's what worked 100% for me just last night:
Login to Samsung Account on other device, select Password & Security, enter password then choose Devices. LOG-OUT of your S6 Edge if listed, confirm. Next change password - doesn't matter what, can even change it back afterwards.
Flash Lollipop (I used G925VVRU4BOK7)
Wipe Data/Cache
Boot fresh Stock firmware, enter/confirm network details, at Reactivation Lock prompt, enter user & updated password. Sign-in....
Settings -> Lock Screen & Security -> Find My Mobile. Unselect Reactivation Lock and enter password... voila!
Works for anybody else??
