And please dont use a PATCHED V30 version! DONT!!!!! use a patched V20! This will unbrick it, boot to recovery right after and you ll only have to wipe everything and flash the new ROM

I'm rather sure you have problems with reading.
- turn your OB off
- remove the back
- take the battery out
- hold vol+ button and plug USB in
It is not always needed to remove the battery but it helps sometimes especially when nothing else works, had it once myselfe where that was the only way I could get into SW upgrade mode.

Same problem here, phone is completely dead.
When holding the power button, nothing is happening.
Also not when removing battery, holding VOL+ and inserting the USB cable.
I think, I need to send it to the service center.

If OB is doing nothing at all it's a hard brick => service.
If OB's screen is showing something like 'security error' it's a soft brick => you can do a lot (like 'sw update' and use SFT)
So it's a difference of more than 5$.

you can't have CWM on official v30.There is some workaround , but there is an easy way.Flash v20 patched with CWM and then install CM10.1 or other custom rom
Yes this might fix my troubles too, i kept going back to stock v10 then i used the lg updater for both updates till i was at v30 and then installed cwm. All the times i kept getting that stupid security error..
how stupid :') i also didnt read anywhere about it?? thanks for the reply tho.
I got the job done using a flashed v20 to get into CWM and flashed other rom from there.. Thanks
thank you guys for the help . appreciated
i will go the v20 a try . i hope it works for me
can't boot into sw update mode
Hi.
I installed CWM on my LG with official v30C rom.
When i tried to do a backup I got a black screen with LG logo that says security error.
Now I my phone does't boot.
When I press power button i get the same black screen and the phone turns off after a few seconds.
Any advices how to unbrick my phone?
Thanks.

I cannot boot into sw update mode - i removed the batery and connected the usb cable, pressed power+ vol down and nothing happens.
With the battery on, even if I press power + vol down it doesn't enter sw update mode - i get the error message and it then turns off.
SmartFlash doesn't detect the device so I cannot flash another ROM.
Im NOOB at this, so maybe I'm missing something.

well , i success to open software upgrat but while upgrading it gave me a balnk screen
it woooorks after many tries
thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

after flashing, the phone does not power up. nothing.

i think it's my fault, but maybe i can do something to unbreak it?
here it goes.
i downloaded the latest build from this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199575
when first i entered CWM and wiping everything, i try to flash the rom, but the installation aborted with 'error 7'
so i look for error 7 in google, and get into this video which explain how to bypass it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QW1znjDLe-k
i did exactly what he said, and remove the assert till the ' ; '
after that i ziped it back and send it again to my phone, and again get into CWM.
the installation went OK.
it said so .
i did a reboot, but then the phone didn't power up.
he is very dead
is it final, or i can do something to revive it?
thanks!
Status 7 error is due to a corrupt rom file. Download the rom again, place it on sd card & flash again.

not working, because after i insert the battery, and start odin, it don't recognize any device that connected to the computer.
but, if i press the Volume UP + home + power, it install USB drivers of the phone, and in odin i see that it know that something is connected to the computer in: com 39.
but i cant flash the firmware, because it's stuck on setup connection...

Downloading mode is volume down+home+power & in doing this, you must see downloading written in yellow letters on your screen. Then you're good to go.

check that have you installed the USB driver ? because it matters a lot...
You can download it from here

If it connects to the PC then first rectangle becomes yellow.
Best Luck!!!

if you cannot use the button combo to enter recovery, then you will need to flash a tot in edm (emergency download mode - power + vol up). That will put you in test mode (no usb mass storage). Then just use the test mode fix.

Is there a certain ZV version i should choose? or does it not matter?
The newest version that you can flash is v8. Then you would have to ota to v9 then to zvb. Then reroot and install cwm. Flash OG and call it a day.

well i have my phone connected to the pc started the software, then held up and power and nothing happened.
Its a boot up button combo, turn off device, turn on (power + vol up). Just like booting into recovery. When you see the downloading screen, connect phone to computer, then select the tot as your phone book file, and click start.

Stupid question but have you got the power plugged in? I've had some boot problems. So you've tried vol down and power combo and vol up and power separately? From dead. Not holding once bootlooped?
