Stuck on S/W Upgrade Screen
Hi,
I, too, am stuck in the S/W Upgrade screen.
I turned my phone off and when I turned it on again I tried turning the volume down, but it turns out, that combination would lead one into the S/W Upgrade screen (sorry, noob). And now, I'm stuck at the S/W Upgrade screen. I want to turn it off again, but a friend of mine tells me not to because it might brick the phone, is that true?
My phone is not rooted.

I just pull the battery. Done that many times. My o2x still in good condition.
Thanks loads!
I've been contemplating if I should root this or not. I might though, when I get a free time. )

serious problem
Hi,
I tried to update my LG optimus 2x to android 2.3.4 but I forgot to turn "windows
Enabler.exe" ON and "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" stuck on upgrade stage at 4% so I just closed "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" and unplugged my phone. then I turned it (I exactly followed the instruction for upgrading in website) and phone stuck at "S/W upgrade ....: window. then I downloaded and followed the instruction for flashing the phone but after pushing "flash.bat" it stuck at "nvflash started" command and didn't happen anything after 25 mins so I stopped the window. then I tried recovery (push vol_down then power and release ...) and after opening up "Android recovery utility" I could go up and down on menus but I couldn't select it. I'm really confused what to do and will be really grateful if somebody help me.

Dear all,
Last night I tried updating to V20N (Dutch) using the standard LG Mobile update tool, so via USB. After the downloading step, the update tool proceeded to install until 15% has reached. The tool says "communication error between PC and phone" or something like that. It tells to disconnect USB and remove battery and try again. I did this 4 times, but the phone itself stays in "S/W update" mode.
Before perfoming a hard reset (and losing all of my data) using one the unbrick tools, I solved this by using the option "recovery and emergency" in the options tab of the LG update tool. After 20 min recovery my phone was back and guess what? It had been updated to V20N 2.3.4
Now it feels more snappy, no more lag while sliding the screens. Apps running smooth. No idea about the battery life.
Same issue here can u please explain it further or a step by step guide.

In the menu of LGMobile Support Tool choose "Customer Support"
then click on "Recovery Phone"
in the pop-up window enter either IMEI/ESN/MEID or Model+S/N and click "Check"
Then the Mobile Update Tool should pop-up and start downloading+updating
Lots of succes!
Had the same issue a while back, even the emergency/recovery flash from LG tool did not work. Eventually the smartflash method worked for me, going back to v10a and the offical update with official LG tool to v20n worked after that...very strange...

Exactly the same thing happened to me just last night. I was prompted for a V20E (PHL) update. After download and install my phone got disconnected and was stuck on the S/W update screen even after I removed the battery several times.
I found a recovery step by step here and gave it a try. I unplugged the USB, removed the battery, reconnected the USB, pressed vol(-) (not sure about this it was already midnite and I was desperate) and pressed the power button. LG app connected and I chose recover. Entered IMEI and it started downloading again. I tried to get some sleep and a few minutes later I heard the phone startup sound. Hooray! Initially I thought I was back to V10D but the version confirmed I was now on V20E. Double hooray! Still a fail for LG though. Will the same adventure happen when ICS comes out (in two years or so)?
The problem is, that you probably had a cust ROM with ext4 support and that doeant work with stock ROMs, --> bootloop
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
No custom or root. I was running a plain-Jane V10D before the upgrade.
You should report this bug to LG.
I emailed customer service. They apologized and asked me to bring it to the nearest service center
same thing happened to me.. but what i did was i went to LG mobile in MOA and let them restored my phone but mine is V20b.. is V20e a newer version?
V20B was announced last month. I tried upgrading to that but it went into the phone disconnected error so I decided to wait until I can visit the LG kiosk.
Then V20E came out so I thought let's give it a try hence my adventure. V20E is still 2.3.4 though.
I can't post links yet so try to search for the firmware list. It basically says V10A >> V10D >> V20B >> V20E.
ah i see... thanks man.. i'm still new to these stuff i need to read the threads here to learn how to flash and maybe try V20e
[Guide] Enter Emergency Download Mode LG Optimus L5 E615/E615F [Guide]
You can enter Emergency Download Mode (EDM) on LG Optimus L5 E615
by using the following key combination
Firstly, make sure your phone is switched off and remove any SIM cards
inside it. To ensure your phone is switched off, please remove the battery.
Now re-insert the battery.
Key Combination:
#1 Press and hold both the “Vol Up” and “Vol Down” buttons. (Easy way
is to press in the center of both the buttons).
#2 Next press the Power button.
#3 As soon as the screen turns on insert the USB cable to your computer.
If successful, You will a LG Home screen with a syncing sign at the center bottom of the
screen and above it will be written “Downloading in progress, please do
not disconnect or power off the phone.” (OR SIMILAR).
Purpose:
If you have tried to enable animated boot menu's which will make the
screen hang while booting up and in most severe cases make the phone
un-bootable.
How to use:
#1 Firstly, note down the IMEI of your mobile. You can do this by
removing the back cover and battery. After removing the battery you
will see IMEI1 and IMEI2. Note both of them down. Either one can be
used.
#2 Next you will need to make sure that the PC you will be using has LG
PC Suite installed, with latest USB drivers and LG Support Tool.
#3 After putting your phone in EDM you can connect it to LG Support
Tool, it will hopefully receive the required information. If it doesn't
then you can manually go to options >> recovery >> enter IMEI.
#4 Next, your phone should be discovered and the software tool will
automatically download the latest STOCK FIRMWARE for the mobile.
#5 Essentially, if all above fails, and your phone is still not discovered by
the tool, you can restart the process and this time after putting your
phone in EDM you can directly open up LG PC Suite and you can go to
Tools/Options and click support tool/phone recovery.
#6 In the above case your phone should be recognized, if it doesn't then
manually input your IMEI as mentioned earlier. And all will work out
IF I HELPED, PLEASE KINDLY SAY THANKS, IT TAKES WEEKS TO WRITE A PROPER GUIDE, BUT MINUTES TO SAY THANKS.
HAPPY HUNTING AND FLASHING
Could you please number the steps, so that it will be easy to follow the step by step instructions. If the EDM mode is followed, what will be the Android software that gets installed on the mboile? Will it be be ICS for E615 or any ealrier version. The reason I asked because
1. I connected my phone via USB to PC (Selected the option "Connect LG SOftware")
2. Opened LG supported tool.
3. Selected "Recover phone"
4. It asked to enter the IMEI.
5 .After entering IMEI, it showed the model as E615 and when clicked "Yes", I got the below msg
"
- After upgrading the OS (eg. Android 1.6 Donut; Andorid 2.1 Eclair), user data will be erased. Therefore, please backup all the data prior to the upgrade process.
- Applications previosuly download from Android market will be earsed as well". However any data stored in SD will remain.
- After upgrading OS, user will not be able to restore to the previous version even Factory reset is performed.
Would you like to conitnue (Yes/NO)
"
I was not activating the EDM mode. Just I was tryign to familiarize with the LG Support tool. But at the same time, worried in case if we want to activate EDM, then will the Android verson be same (ICS) or the previous version?
Yes it will ask u that and u have to comply, whether it is EDM or not
with the after it starts updating my sofware it freezes at 4% ? help
My Device Not Entering to Emergency Mode
Help Please!
My device not Entering to emergency mode, so i'm not flashing my device.
My Device Trouble is Bootloop, stuck in LG Logo. please help me master
thanks this is very helpfull to noobs like me. this is always my last resort to restoring my phone whenever I softbrick my phone.
THe whole recovery function finishes but the phone still does not boot up what may be the reason?
The reason for the phone not booting up is that the System memory has been flashed. Try to enter the EDM once again and Hopefully that should work out for you. Post your feedback here.

This is what I get when I connect the phone by USB.
I just cant get into emergency, DIAG or emergency CS
KDZ the phone connects and then I get a message afterwards PHONE NOT FOUND.
everytime I install the drivers by LG support tool, it keeps giving me the option to install the driver, like I havent done it a hundred times over.
I think there should be a driver somewhere that can be installed but the only people that have this driver are LG tech's. So they can bill you after
send the phone in cause you rooted it. So the one billion dollar question is witch hero will find a way to unbrick this device. We only need a way
to get a driver to install and we are home free. Or maybe the only other option is throwing the phone for sale on internet for spare parts
HELP PLEASE HELP find a way to unbrick this phone. Believe me I flashed and bricked alot of different phones and there was a way out but in
with this phone it seems impossible!!
And there is no mode to put it in in because te volume buttons don't do crap, the home button also, the only time that the phone does show up is when windows tells me it has an unknown device that I for the love of god can't find a driver for. I tried SDK, the LG drivers, but no dice
any other options??
Easy Peasy
@breakercris
The solution to your above mentioned Problem is very very easy. Not techy at all.
Basically there might be some drivers that might be conflicting.
Try to fix things in Device Manager and post screen shots here.
Also if you are unable to get them working then try a Reformat for your PC. IMHO go for WINDOWS 7 or 8.
Lastly remove the battery of your phone.
Also make sure you have LG PC Suite Installed and LG Support Tool Installed as well.
Hold down the power and the volume buttons and insert the USB Cable into the PHONE WITHOUT THE BATTERY, and my dear friend you will be home free.
Sincerely,
XxXKINGMAKXxX
PS. If you still need some help, PM me
I appreciate in writing the steps to install firmware. It would be great if there is some info on how to avoid the online firmware download. Do you have any info on that?

Yes you can use kdz flasher to install it offline. You should have the ROM downloaded for this to work

Hi. I'll use this thread to ask something related. I've a LG L5 E610. Wanted to flash a generic brand-free rom and apparently i need to boot to emergency mode (vol up + vol down + power) except the phone can't boot to any mode except for a regular boot - phone works perfectly with a simple boot just using the power button. If i try any key combo all i get are the bottom soft keys (back and options) quickly flashing. That's it, screen stays off, nothing more happens.
Phone's new, all i did was reseting it (vol down + home + power) and rooted it following some method i found around here (worked flawlessly too). I also know vol up + home + power also used to work before this (tried it by accident before).
Any ideas? Thanks!

Well it must be a phone issue, previously when I tried to upgrade my phone, it used to give me the error after downloading and just before installing, PHONE SOFTWARE NOT COMPATIBLE.
I just realized that the bootloader and the Software version for the region were not properly set.
About the Battery issue, well try it with a new battery, or else try to clear battery statistics. EDM should basically allow you install the Original Firmware.
Anyways, google up the Stock Rom for your phone, they are most likely available on

There are some guide
There are a couple of guides out there that would help you install the STOCK or CUSTOM roms on your LG Mobile, the best one that has been around for quite sometime is KDZ Flasher. Give it a try and hopefully everything works fine.

Hi everyone
I've LG Optimus 2x and this morning I wanted to install stock rom again on my phone because I had CM. I used smart flash tool (I used it before so I know how to work with him) and everything was OK untill some error poped out. After that I couldn't start my phone, even can't charge it. Screen is black and nothing happens with it. I tried other battery but, same thing. I know that my phone is somehow OK because i can turn it only with flashtool ''progmaq''. I open flash.bat file and that program turns my phone on to S/W upgrade mode but my computer still it does not recognize.
What can I do to start my phone again? I can't use smartflash tool or LG update tool because my computer doesn't recognize my phone. Please help!!!
Same problem as here on this video. I tried to hard reset, can't do it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQV-af24i_s
Problem solved. I used all in one tool kit and in main menu pressed button 4, followed instruction and I could again access recovery mode, so I installed again rom and now it works.
Switched from one provider to another, got a new phone which uses micro-sim, and couldnt get the p880 to read the new sim card, so I have been using the new phone, which is greatly inferior to the p880..
With the p880 just sitting around unused, i decided i might as well try to mod it, then get a regular sim card for it and start using it again. I think i killed it instead.
Before it died on me, I formatted / wiped / factory reset and then used the LG Mobile Support tool to upgrade to whatever the newest official release was.. 4.1.2??
At this point, here is what it can do:
1) When attempting to just turn it on and USE it as normal, it turns on, gets to the animated LG logo and stays there forever.
2) Power + Vol Down = OEM LG recovery menu
3) Power + Vol Up = Some kind of Restore graphic
4) Power + Vol Up and Down (AVX) = nothing
5) Plugged into USB with battery removed and holding Vol Down = home row LEDs light up, nothing else
Windows sees the phone as a "removable disk H:" when I plug it in, but the LG recovery software does not see it, and it also does not show up in the device manager..
At this point, all that I can seem to access is the "apply update from ADB" option to do an "adb sideload" command in recovery mode.. When I send over the root tool, the phone is happy. If I attempt to send anything else over via sideload, I always get kicked out of the process when it gets to the "verifying installation package" portion. I can wipe / factory reset to my heart's content, but I can get absolutely no further than this after attempting for about six hours yesterday.
Any hope for me or do i have a dope looking paperweight? Will providing you guys either the IMEI or S/N shed any light into a path to recovery?
Thanks for your time!
You have a booting rom, the device is not even close to hard brick. Is your bootloader unlocked? If yes you can flash a custom recovery with fastboot and install any rom you want.

thank you, speady.. it turned out to be the first solution that you suggested, which i had seen before during my scouring of these forums.. but the real basis of my problem was that i had my phone plugged into the front-facing USB port of my computer rather than the one directly connected to the motherboard (on the back).. i guess the phone wasnt getting enough juice out of the front port to boot to S/W Update mode.. i am back to stock LG software and am eventually going to mod to another ROM
THANK YOU!
