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/

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.. =)

Hey guys, i've been following this thread over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338 on getting Wifi Tether to work on my G2. I'd post in that thread, but i don't have permissions to.
I was able to get things to work on 4.2.2, but after the upgrade to 4.4.2, it stopped working. So i grabbed the updated APK, removed the odex file, set permissions and rebooted. I get the same error as the poster on page one, "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." However i don't have any apps frozen.
Any ideas guys? Thanks!

I gave that a shot and it didn't change my result. Fadi81 suggested an LG Update Tool. Is this the tool?
My searching didn't turn up much of a result. From what i gather, this pushes the update back out to my phone, probably overwriting Root in the process. Is this what i should be trying next?
*Edit: apparently i'm not allowed to post URL links either. -.- So here it is broken down: lg.com / us / support-mobile / lg-VS980#software, then there's a link at the bottom saying "LG G2 VS980 SOFTWARE UPDATE" and there's an update program listed there.

An infinite number of thanks to you my friend! After operation 'clean slate', it's working perfectly. I must have forcibly removed something with titanium backup, or fragged something critical somewhere.
Edit: Just realized this wiped my SD card too. >_< Didn't see that coming. guess it's REALLY a clean slate now, lol.
I have a galaxy s3 mini. I have faced an issue which is not common. My Play Store gives me "No connection - Retry" error. I searched every forum, every possible solution on the internet, I tried them all but no luck.
I have even rooted it, installed CWM, changed the ROM, but still no luck.
I edited the hosts file as mentioned on different forums, but the thing is my hosts file "only shows this by default '127.0.0.1 localhost'", there is no second line of ip address or anything. I tried adding it manually and added the "#" sign but no luck.
If any one out there could help me, I'd be really grateful.

No I don't have freedom installed. I have installed the stock ROM again. But the phone is still rooted. So if there is a solution, I would be glad to hear it. My phone is useless without Play Store. I cannot update any application or anything.
Install Lucky Patcher. Go to --> Toolbox --> Install the Modded Google Play Store. Choose your version of original play store.

hello, I rooted my phone and i found out that store has turned to older version and showing only 2-3 apps. whenever i try downloading any app from store it doesn't download but always shows pending. I've tried factory reseting my phone but it didn't work. I was able to download and install few apps like whatsapp and opera mini through .apk format but when i try installing other apps it shows an error with a message saying error in parsing the package. Please guyz help me out with this situation.
