Hi All,
Sorry if this is a duplicate but everything I have seen at least has not helped me further.
I wanted to root my phone yesterday and everything (tutorial here with o4xr) the went well till it installed busy box where the computer froze and then shut itself down and so I tried to turn restart my phone normally. Now its stuck at the bit where the LG animation is and goes no further.
Here is what I have already tried:
Rerunning the o4xr/root method again
Hard Resetting (selected and running all options available)
LG Service App (windows) -> always fails on communicating with device... works up until that and I do see the SW Ugrade splash.
My version is the EURO Open v10h or something like that.
Please help me fix... This is the first phone I havent been able to root, any suggestions?

It worked this time. I guess I was so stressed that I accidently downloaded the wrong firmware. Thanks alot for making me try that route again plus I have a backup now should this happen again.

Nothing like a brick to freak you out with your brand new device, luckily you got it sorted

Not hard brick, but soft brick. There is a huge difference. Just for your info.
from where can I download .kdz file and the main site is telling
ACCESS DENIED
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGP880/AAREBK/V10b_00/V10B_00.kdz
is there any other links for the .KDZ file to be download from
thank you
all tries i made to unlock the bootloader, install a usable rom or install a working recovery failed.
my system is totally messed up. booting to recovery results in a lge_security error and my android system process consumes 75 % of the battery power, its empty after 7 hours with display usage at 2 %.
unlocking and installing new roms would take days of trying. and all the numerous hours and several sorts of attempts i spent on it were pointless. i just want to sell this piece of s**t but without a stock firmware its not possible.
is there a method to restore the phone to stock state with a LG software tool for selling ?
if so, does it also work with the 262-000 phone which is truly the worst product i ever bought ?
please help, this is far from usable, even with my connected batterypack it just discharges slower and starts to heat like a stove.
greetings and lot of thanks for your suggestions.

Seems as if i am not allowed to call members lazy when they don't try before they post, also seems i can't say it sucks to be them when they mess up their device and give up before they try anything
I Apologize @Henka85 please refer to my below post for the appropriate support

Lot of Thanks again.
I was looking for someone able to gíve an reply like "yes, there is such a kind of tool" or "no, there isnt".
The KDZ flashing methods and 90% of the tools here dont work or dont restore the recovery on 262-000.
I rather sell it really cheap than spending another days of my rare sparetime, just to discover i have to reflash KDZ with my current state.
Let me guess, you dont have the 262-000 version, so easy to speak for you, probably.

In future, if you don't know what your doing, then just don't do it, if this was your first device you was to mess with, then it should either have been a spare/old phone you wouldn't mind mucking up, flash the .kdz and see what happens, if you get bootloop it means progress, if your bootloader is not unlocked and you have the error, there is already a thread on it, just do a quick search, a softbricked 4x HD is worth less then half as much as a working 4x HD, try out the toolkit, and try get an adb connection, can be achieved through bootloops sometimes!

kdz flasher works on any version. if it doesnt work for you, try another usb port, or another os, or another computer. it must work, there's nothing telling it not to work in case it's 262-000. try kdz flasher, try lgflashtool, try another firmware. it must work, unless there's a hardware fault, but there most likely isn't
I have a 262-000 and I'm running vanir 4.3 without ANY problems...
I might have to say that the fault lies on you
But you should probably check your drivers or reinstall them if flashtool doesn't work for you.
Once had a similar problem caused by bad/wrong drivers.

win 8 here. flashed my phone uncountable times with KDZ updater.
Problem with vanir 4.3 on my P880
Hi ..
I just flashed the VANIR 4.3 on my P880 ,, every thing is ok & I can make outgoing calls , BUT I CAN,T recive any .... when some one dial in my number it t,s busy ( seems like Black list enabled for all incoming ) & I tdiabled Black list & still have the problem .. !!!!! ??? any Ideas ??
I tried CM10.2 & Mokee rom & it was working nice without problems & when I got back & flashed Stock Rom it worked OK too .... so there must be a trick in VANIR which i don,t know ...
i tried to send in the official VANIR thread but i couldn't, cause i,m not allowed cause i,m not a developer .
Edited :
Plrblem solved after applying Google Apps & connected to google services ..
the guide to go back to original rom is here.
if u wanna go give it a good try to install a custom rom, do it. your problem there is the adb drivers. u havent installed the adb drivers for the phone to go to adb and unlock the bootloader. if u cant install adb drivers , the easy way is to install the android sdk x32 version ( even if u r on x64 windows ) and update it. And i will agree on the above thread. u are lazy u should do a very very good search in forum for guides to help u do whatever u want. to root - unlock bootloader - install recovery - install a custom rom is like 30 minutes in total if u follow a good guide !
edit: oh i was really late to see the thread so problem is solved?

Hey guys,
So I had this problem with my 4x because of rooting it there was no baseband atleast it was unkown. I followed a guide but that didn't help. I tried Lg Flash Tool but that gives me a Download error after some seconds. Then I tried putting back the orginal KDZ but it says everything worked but the phone won't reboot like it should. Waited 20 mins to do something.

Whenever I try Flash Tool it gives me a Download Fail with error code 210? Help please.
try to change the phonemode on software update(KDZ) from DIAG to EMERGENCY. that saved me a week ago .i had the same problem
Similar Problem...HELP
Hello, I seem to be having a similar problem. I tried KDZ, as per the flashing tools page, but after running the KDZ unpacking and then it stops at paramenter 210. The phone screen stays at S/W Upgrade, and nothing else happens. The KDZ log stays at parameter 210, and goes no further. I am following all the exact steps. Also in the KDZ Phone Information link/Button, no info shows up about Phone, meaning all fields are blank. Back ground Information: i had before a CUSTOM ROm 4.4+ & later 5.0+ installed, but somehow after some time, my phone stopped recognising any SIMs. Android would work but no Sim was working. I thought it was a hardware defect, but later i checked in Settings> Status, there was no IMEI showing. Something had messed up, I read up that reinstalling the stock ROM may solve the issue, so i tried it. But all i have now is that a phone that doesnt boot up, always shows S/W Update screen. And with KDZ only goes up till parameter 210 (in software status log) and doesent go further. Tried all DIAG/Emergency etc. Is my phone bricked or is there a solution ? Please HELP ..... Any help/suggestion appreciated. Thx

I tried the LG Flash Tool as mentioned in the link. But my update only runs till 10%, and shows 0Kb / 0Kb, and then after 18s returns an error, Failed !. Also there are no 3 ports open as mentined in one of the posts when all ports 1-16 are used/ticked in options. I have only read half of the posts in the link, so maybe there is a solution, otherwise it seems something has gone wrong in the phone
Thanks for the suggestions and link, although not working for me.

Complete newb here, i haven't done any development work or even tried rooting or flashing my phone. Over the last couple of days, apps have started crashing as soon as i open them, and then yesterday i rebooted the device and it won't go past the Motorola logo. I've searched through a few threads and there isn't a simple enough answer or procedure to follow to get this working. Also most similar issues have USB debugging on etc, whereas i have no developer settings on at all. Any help would be greatly appreciated
You didn't search enough for an answer i see. But okey for the lazy i will help you, no offense
Can u access (AP)fastboot and can u boot into recovery from fastboot? Have a look at the link in my signature on how to get in fastboot and then in recovery.

Literally my first post mate, how about you cut me some slack. I spent about 4/5 hours searching last night and even took the phone apart. If there is an answer please point me in the direction of it. There are countless threads where the issue is the user has loaded their own ROM or flashed the device already or something like that, which caused the system files to become corrupted. But as i mentioned i have done nothing to the device except for a data wipe a few months back, and there doesn't seem to be any threads where this just happened out of nowhere. I have booted into fastboot, recovery and done the partition cache & data wipe and rebooted, that was my first step.

Hoho, okey, my words have offended you and I am sorry for that.
I can't simply give u an answer if you only said that it doesn't boot and u looked for something to fix it. There are many fixes for many sorts of problems. Also if I knew u have tried to wipe the cache and data I would give u a totally different answer. But u had not mentioned anything about what u had done to try to fix it.
For now, if even a data/factory reset from recovery didn't work I suggest u need to try to reflash the whole stock firmware. See in my signature the link to an index thread about the phone. U can find there the ways to reflash to your stock firmware and hopefully fix your issue.
If u need some more help to flash stock firmware, don't hesitate to ask here.

The firmware is from here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13
- I chose the 4.1.2 UK Retail as i purchased the phone through Virgin Mobile (UK)
Drivers and RSD 6.1.6 are now installed so will try now
Is everything right so far?
Seems to have worked, but it seems a bit different and some apps like hangouts are unavailable now, even though i had them before. The firmware i chose was UK Retail, however i am not 100% that this is the one to use as i bought it through Virgin Mobile (UK).
Hangouts should work just fine. Strange.

Im having the same issue described on this thread.
My phone doesnt start, it stays at the logo screen. I've tried to recover, factory reset and nothing worked. I have access to the (AP)fastboot screen.
Later then i saw this thread, i've did everything as described at your tutorial, tried all the versions of the RSD Lite (6.1.4, 6.1.5, 6.1.6), it cant detect my phone.
I've tried in two different PCs, tons of different USB ports, running as administrator, compatibility mode...the PC tells me that the USB is connected, but the RSD Lite doesnt recognise it.
I've tried using these two options of motorola drivers:
- motohelper_2.1.40_driver_5.5.0.exe (that i found at your post)
- MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe (found another similar tutorial on the internet)
Am i missing something?
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks!

did you boot first into Fastboot-mode before you connect to pc?
1. Install Driver + RSD Lite
2. Boot into fastboot + connect USB
3. Start RSD Lite

Yep. Thats exactly what i did.
I tried only using Windows 8.1. Is it compatible?
I will test on a win7 PC later.
UPDATE:
Worked RSD Lite on Win7, it found my phone. I belive RSD Lite doesnt work on Win 8.1 (at least on my PC and notebook).
I believe my firmware version is this one:
Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB
Can i use the Retail version without problems? (this one: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29.XT890.Brasil.en.BR Retail Brasil 532.8 MiB)
Thanks!
Finally got my phone working again!
I got it running RSD Lite 6.1.6 on Win 7 and used the same Firmware version that i had (in my case: Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.982.50.29002.XT890.Vivo.en.BR Vivo Brasil 537.6 MiB), not the Retail one.
Also used the MotorolaDeviceManager_2.4.5.exe that i got from Motorola website.
My phone now is up and running like charm, no apps or configs lost, everything seems perfect (and also a little bit faster). Not sure what caused my issue, did nothing but normal use.
I hope everyone with the same problem can find this easy solution and follow the right steps (and maybe avoid Win8 to do the process).
Thank you guys for all the information :good:!
Good it is solved. It can happen to anyone. Just a small coruption or miss configuration can take out the android system. Luckily this almost never happens and u were just unfortunate.

No results? Why? If you follow the instruktions it should work. Make sure you don't use Win8/8.1/10. Use Win7 or XP instead so you won't have trouble with drivers.
Then, just follow the Tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
If it did't work, give us a clue why!
