Hello, i was originally on custonexus but decided yesterday to try and update to the leaked jb rom. To do this i opened up 'KDZ_FW_UPD.exe' and 'Windows Enbler.exe' . I then disabled lg modem. Now i booted my phone into the 's/w upgrade' mode then removed the battery. On the pc i selected all the correct options ( 3GQCT , DIAG) selected the kdz file then launched the software update. It began to run , then the program became not responding. But then continued to run. This was the log:
After this the phone then rebooted, it started the normal sequence but then stayed on the lg animation for infinity ( the shining badge) . So to try and get back to normal i have used the official lg suite utility but that keeps giving me a 'SECURITY ERROR' ' Morning call etc once the it has intalled. I have noticed however that the installation on jelly bean never said finished. All help is appreciated , Thankyou!
*********************** UPDATE *********************************
Thankyou @tnsantos
To solve this all you have to do is go into android recovery and factory reset then it works perfectly
Why did you remove the battery ?? I have flashed mine and another 4 people's devices with no problem.I only removed the battery in case the pc didint recognize the LG modem .After being show at the pc , i placed the battery back.
I have flashed my lg almost 10 times with this method and with the battery in its place all the time.
Try wipe data / factory reset.
This is the exact error when you flash a boot.img without boot loader unlocking. You need to reflash your preferred firmware using the lg updater.

I tryed everything the same but program every time get not responding. I have CWM recovery on. wiped data and everything, then I try this (step by sten tutorial on xda with this metod).
1. I can't get into update firmware screen on my phone if battery isn't in phone
2. If I put battery in every time program got into not respondimng, on 2 different PCs
3. I'm trying to restore with v20a
Please help!
Reinstall the v20a, then go into recovery, then it should be the stock lg recovery, do full wipe/factory reset. Then it should be running, had same problem with boot loop, i just wiped and it was fine :laugh:

Hi all. I'm new to Android and in my ignorance i messed up my new phone.
I have a week old LG Optimus Black and i rooted it using GingerBreak and i was messing with Titanium Backup to uninstall some of the LG pre-installed bloatware.
I'm pretty sure i uninstalled something calle LGHome which after exiting TiBackup made the screen white. So if i am correct, i uninstalled the launcher and the whole menu system?
Now when i try to turn on the phone, it's stuck in LG logo and won't turn on. I am able to get it to S/W update screen by pressing volume+ and plug into USB. The LG Update software recognizes it but it says the phone is up to date so it doesn't do anything.
Could someone advise me on what to try next?
Regards.
Still looking for help.
Where could i find the original ROM for the P970?
Update:
Thanks to a fine gentleman over at android . modaco . com (apparently i can't post links) i have recovered my phone LG Optimus Black P970 to a fully working state.
Here is his post for those having similiar problems (can't post links yet, but will update when i can)
Basically, the LG Mobile update software has a built in recovery and if you put in the IMEI or serial number, it will download the original ROM and recover the phone. I just pressed down volume+ and plugged in USB and the phone goes into S/W update mode. In my case i had unintentionally uninstalled the launcher/homescreen, so when the recovery was complete, the homescreen was back to stock, but all my programs were still intact. It did not wipe the internal SD.

Which Rom did you have installed previously? I hope it was CM7, if not, READ THE discription
you can either use adb, to reboot to recovery (search adb for your mac)
via moving to the adb folder in a console/terminal
and then typing adb reboot recovery, if you had a custom ROM installed.
If not, make a virtual machine in your mac (google it) install windows and then recover it via B2C.
yes, i was using cyanogenmod 7, i used your method, but doesn't work for me, now it stuck on the welcome screen of the carrier (telcel)
im using windows right now
Already looked into this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105 ?
If not, do it and follow the links provided there!
thanks N00BY0815, you and the guy who made the post of the solution saved my optimus black. I'm so happy xD my phone it's alive. And sorry for the bad search of the problem, i saw this post and read "solved" and i hoped there was a solution for my problem.

reboot is freezing the phone and then restoring old data and settings... HELP !!
Hi All.
I need little help with my Android phone (LG P970). The story is the phone is working as much as I can call and text but the system is not stable. It's freezing a lot and then it's trying to reboot but after every rebooting my phone freeze on LG logo... the only way to run it again is taking out the battery and then system is starting ok but it's loading with all settings and data from few days ago... I have try to flash it with Smartflash tool... whole process whas without any error then phone rebooted automaticly and I find out that after rebooting my p970 sterted with the same old and notstable rom with all the call list and messeges from few days ago.. then I tryed to do the emergency recovery of my phone with LG software. Application asked me to type the model and S/N of my phone so I did that and again the whole process of recovery was ok (with no errors)... Then the phone rebooted on the end which is normal and again started with no effect of recovery.. it was the same ZEUS 7 rom, not stable and with all the data and settings from few days ago... I decided to use Titanium Backup to uninstall all the apps and I was trying to instal ROM MANAGER and run the recovery mode but in the middle of my work the phone freez again and then rebooted and then again freeze on LG logo... I took out the battery and again turned it on and when the system was loaded I find out that all the programs which I have deleted with TITANIUM BACKUP was restored somehow... EVERY time I try to restart in normal mode, reboot in recovery mode or even after flashing system is restarting automaticaly, it freeze on LG logo and the only way to run it again is to take out this battery... then system restoring all data and settings for some reason... can you help me with that?? maybe some of you know whot software i should use to do the FULL WIPE and get rid of the old borken system?? and by the way I'm realy sorry but my language is not perfect Thanks in advance for help
Hey all,
I have a problem with my lg p990. At this time, I am trying to figure it out whether is a software or hardware problem. I have searched each and every forum to over come this problem but went in vain.
problem:
1) lg p990 shows lg logo and goes blank.
2) when vol down and power is pressed the phone goes to s/w upgrade screen.
steps I tried:
1) I have used smart flash to flash my phone to stock ROM.
a) downloaded the stock ROM and flashed with smart flash. The smart flash says process complete successfully and the phone restarts and shows lg logo and goes blank.
b) I tried to flash different stock ROM with the smart flash but same result.
2) I tried using the lg update tool (offline procedure since lg blocked it).
The lg update tool successfully completes the update procedure and tells
the phone will restart. The phone goes to restart and the phone shows lg logo and goes blank again.
3) Last but not least, I tried to download the custom ROM.
a) I downloaded the ClockWorkMod recovery by using nvflash
b) after successfully download recovery image, wipe cache/factory reset/wipe cache partition/wipe dalvik cache.
c) copied ROM in the root of the internal sdcard (connect the phone-->mount it-->copied the ROM and Kernel--> installed the package--> says installation complete-->reboot phone--> the phone does not get pass through lg logo and stays blank. I have waited for 30 minutes but no luck.
I don't know what else to do. After I tried all the steps, the phone just powers on and shows the lg logo and goes blank but the menu,home,search button still lights up. I also resetted the phone but still same problem persists....
Any help would be greatly appreciated otherwise I have a paper weight worth $350.00
I had the same problem as you face here.
I tried everything NV-flash, smartflash, you name it, no luck. Then I did a emergency repair in the LG updater.
Start the Updater, select "emergency repair", make sure drivers are installed.
Battery out, press Volume Down and connect.
Enter IMEI and S/N and repair program starts.
I had to do it twice, before it finished. I maybe had a bad USB connection or cable, but after "S/W update" showed up in screen on second attempt, I reinserted battery and it went very smooth.
Let it boot.
And then root with NV-flash and you are back in business with normal GB partition table.
I can recommend Tonyp's CWM 6.0.1.5 touch for NV-flash, when you have finished rooting.
It took me 45 minutes, with a not too good internet connection.
PS.: I did not try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1715272
but since I could not call up NV-flash, I did not want to spend even more time trying.

Hello,
first i have to say that my english isn't great so forgive me for errors
Wel..
I have the S3 I9305 from Ocober 2012... The first time i flashed it i used something (don't remember what) for I9300 and had a lot of problems (lost imei ecc). I solved it thanks to this forum and now i hope i can do it again
I usually change rom every 2-3 week and no problems since now...
A week ago my Sentinel Rom started to be "Lagghi" so i downloadet Alliance RoM to test it ( i use TWrecovery). I followed the instructions..... I choosed Perseus Kernel and Alliance theme but it gave me standard theme and kernel.. Reflashed 2-3 times. I gave up and downloaded the latest Avatar RoM because is the one i used most.... I flashed it from ext. sd card (Wiping all from internal..cache, data, dalvik, system, internat) and reboot... all good.
The i went to Avatar Update in settings and looked for the last GAPPS...while seraching, it told me that CM UPDATER crashed...tryied again, same problem.
I reflashed it again and same problem..
at 02:00 AM i gave up and let the phone with 40% battery. At 11:00 AM it had 0... Charged it a little (i think 10%) and then tryed to boot.. Stuck at the logo of Avatar...
Then i tryied a few thing
- Firs, i charged it a little more and WIPED from recovery cahce and dalvik...it restarted but when i putted it to charge, the phone restarted and stucked to avatar logo again.
- Wiped again and reflashed Avatar (is the only one i have) from EX-SD...same problem.
- I charged the phone a little more, downloaded the latest Official Firmware of S3 I9305 and flashed it with odin ... same.
- i pulled out SIM , Ex-SD and battery while it was on samsung logo boot animation and came here
Hmm what else...in the last mounth the pone charged very slowly (if it can help)
Any suggestions?
In recovery format sdcard system cache data .
Boot to download mode install stock rom via Odin .
Boot loop then factory reset .
Fails then you need a service centre .
Have you tried restoring your backed up EFS folder??

hi so yestarday i installed the "aosp-k3note-5.1.0" rom and it all went fine but worked slow and without bluetooth.
so today when i got home my dad told me he just installed a new rom from romnation(he dosent remember which rom but he said it was an offical rom)
BUT he downloaded it stright to the phone and installed it without erasing anything(date/cache/davlik)...
so when he tried to use the phone it will gives errors like gaps stoped working and all kind of stuff that made the phone useless...
so i downloaded "VIBEUI_V2.8_1526_7.80.1_DEV_K50-T5" rom and gapps64 and went to the CMW and this time i erased the date cach and davlik and installed the rom and after that the gapps
and now i cant get past the welcome screnn becuase as soon as i choose english or chinse it will give me "wlan has stopped" and return to the language menu...
so now im stuck becuase i cant use adb to root it and SP tools dosent work too(i tried to keep it pluged for an hour and it still wont do anything with ot without the battery)
what can i do? and thanks for any help...

Try removing the battery and plugging the phone in to the PC.
Start SP Tools with CWM set in the scatter and only recovery ticked
Press Download in SP tools and then insert the battery
CWM should download to phone
If that fails repeat but plug the phone in once you press Download, then insert the battery.

Omg..i have almost exactly the same problem and the solution that MrAAnderson suggested didn't work.Here's how i ended in this problem.I was running VIBEUI_V3.0_1602_7.407.1_DEV_K50-T5 ROM on TWRP recovery made By Pr1nc3V app Lenovo K3 Note Manager [v2.1].Since i had annoying bug with "R" (roaming icon) and "gapps stopped working" issue i wanted to re-flash same ROM.I entered into TWRP recowery,cleared dalvik+cache,rebooted into recovery again.Now i wanted to flash ROM,but it didn't flash it gave me an error,same thing happens if i try to flash stock recovery (i even tried naming ROM and recovery as "recovery.zip" and "update.zip").Rebooted the phone but i'm also stucked on welcome screen where i can't pass it because of "Unfortunately,WLAN stopped working".
Tried to flash ROM and stock recovery with SPFlashTool but the tool doesn't see phone at all,same as Lenovo K3 Note Manager by Pr1nc3V .Right now i'm running out of solutions for this mess i created,any advice will help.Help me please to restore my phone.
EDIT: i just realized that i actually made a "factory reset" in TWRP recovery..not just wipe data,cache and dalvik.....what are my options now folks?
Ok i'm happy to announce that i resolved my problem (after a panic mode on,lol).Here is what i did..
1. Obviously you have to get back on your stock (original,ugly chinese-english one) recovery (in case you already didn't..).To do that i used SP Flash tool.(i wouldn't go into details but if you need just ask).
After that we have following situation..stock recovery + dev ROM (which isn't working well).
2.If you try to flash any ROM in this state it will fail (based on my experience,i tried to flash exactly same ROM which is already installed..no way.).So now next step is to get a CUSTOM (TWRP or CM) recovery,again flashing it with SP Flash tools.
From this point you can choose wher would you go...STOCK rom ,MODDED one ...anything actually.I hope i clarified a bit.
sptools is not detecting my device
Hi. I'm unexperienced with this in general, so please bear with me. I treid to search similar threads but didn't find anything about my problem exactly.
I've a rooted European (Exynos, Polish or German distribution) version of Note 4. I don't run any custom OS nor did I make any changes to my phone in the last few months. As of now, it's running Lollipop.
A few weeks ago, my phone started randomly rebooting. I blamed it on old apps, did a check with antivirus and uninstalled some apps I wasn't sure about. But the problem grew worse (reboot every few minutes). I've erased all apps that had something to do with my root (Lucky Patcher was constantly popping up in my SU logs in the same minute my phone rebooted, so I uninstalled all patched app and then Lucky Patcher), deleted almost everything, checked that system apps were all the newest version. Nothing helped so I thought a factory reset seems like the best option now. I went to the Settings and did a factory reset.
But now I'M STUCK. There is this picture of the Android with the blue web that should be turning (but isn't) the screen says "Systemupdate wird installiert" (system update is installing), the picture disappears (black screen) and comes back every few seconds. There is no blue line signalising progress or anything. All this for some two hours now.
I don't want to try anything myself because I don't want to make my phone a brick. Does any of you know what my problem could be? Thanks.
I'm not too sure why your device is stuck in an update loop. But are you positive you havent tried flashing anything to your device??
---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------
Wait a second, you're saying you arent running a custom rom, yet your device has root with superuser.. Therefore you should also have a custom firmware flashed to your device.. Twrp or cwm. Irecommend twrp. If you have a custom recovery. Then boot in to recovery mode and clear cache/dalvik wipe/ factory reset etc.

Positive I haven't flashed anything. I didn't even connect it to a computer.
I think that my device has cwm but it's long since I've used it. I tried getting into recovery mode and the only thing I can see is the android figure with the blue ball, no menu, no anything.
UPDATE: I flashed twrp with ODIN, phone rebooted like after a factory reset.

There is a chance that you put your phone in odin download mode instead doing factory reset

There seems to be no problem now, my phone went back from 5.1 to 5.0.1 though. Maybe the whole thing started because of the last update. I tested and I can get to recovery mode normally, so I did a back-up just in case somethin goes wrong again.
If you managed to flash twrp and successfully booted back in to your device, then i recommend rebooting back into twrp recovery, and doing a cache and dalvik cache from within the recovery menu. And if you want root access, download the latest superSU (itll be a zip file), copy the file to the download folder of your internal storage, reboot in to your recovery, install the superSU zip file you downloaded, once its indtalled, wipe both caches again. And reboot.
Let me know how you go, and if you get stuck somewhere, dont be afraid to ask. Im happy to help
