error boot image signature means the bootloader is locked. so u didnt install the recovery and so thats why u cant go in recovery. u just deleted the stock recovery by mistake. now u either go ahead and try unlock , flash recovery and install new rom if u want to go away from stock rom, or use kdz to restore.
<<EDIT>> i dont understand that o4x. i just told you whats ur situation there. now use search and find the solution

Hi there,
I was recently put in the same situation, i.e. I installed ROM Manager and then ClockworkMod. When I open ROM Manager --> Recovery Setup --> Install or Update Recovery --> Click on "ClockworkMod Recovery" --> I get "Error while downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection and that your SD card is inserted and have free space!". I have made sure that I have both, therefore I do not understand why I get this error. When I select "Reboot into recovery" in ROM Manager my phone restarts and then I get the same error as ruznik.
When I try to boot into recovery manually, i.e. switch off phone, Volume UP (or DOWN) + Power button, I get the same error as ruznik. However, my phone boots normally which is always a relief.
I uninstalled ROM Manager and tried to boot into recovery and I got the same error as ruznik. Then I installed back ROM Manager and in the Recovery set up there is already "ClockworkMod recovery", which probably means that ClockworkMod was not uninstalled when I uninstalled ROM Manager.
I have rooted my LG P880, but I believe I have not unlocked the bootloader (I suspect that CWM + bootloader not unlocked is what is causing the error with booting into recovery?). I say I believe, because I did the rooting some time ago and I do not remember if I have unlocked the bootloader as well.
I would like to uninstall CMW. However, I understand that this is not a very easy thing, therefore I would be happy to reflash my EUR-XXX Jelly Bean 4.1.2, root and then unlock the bootloader. However, although I have properly installed the drivers (as this is not the first time I will flash the EUR-XXX), my phone does not connect to my PC, although it charges from the PC. I have tried with two different cables, I have enabled debugging, I have Media Sync enabled (I tried also the option LG software as I have LG PC suite installed), I have tried to connect it to different ports, I have tried to connect it to different PCs, but still nothing. Note that this is happening only with my LG P880, because I can connect properly my Iphone 4S to all 3 PCs. Also, when I open my LG PC suite, I cannot connect the mobile phone to the LG PC suite via cable, but I can connect it via Wifi connection.
I am a bit reluctant to unlock the bootloader, e.g.
youtubedotcomslashwatch?v=sBeirPeT2rQ
youtubedotcomslashwatch?v=iqEop-ThNug
because I do not want to brick my working phone when I cannot connect it to my PC so that I can flash it (sorry for the broken links - I am not allowed to post links because I am new to XDA). Therefore, I have two questions:
1) Is there anything I can do to connect my phone to a PC? I believe that everything went wrong after I installed ROM Manager and then CWM via ROM Manager.
2) Is it safe to unlock the bootloader while the phone is in the current state? I am not sure if the phone will restart and then will not be able to turn on again because it will be bricked? And since I have not managed to connect my phone to a PC, I am not sure how I will be able to flash the software?
Apologies for long email - I tried to be as descriptive as I can. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.

[Q] Have I managed to HARD-BRICK my phone?

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!

bricked with freedom flex ::: FIXED T-mobile D959 Only:::::

yes I know i F*** up and flash the freedom flex recovery with kitkat, now im bricked and just boots to LG LOGO, computer gives me unknown usb device after i leave it plugged for about a min then gives me that error. won't go into recovery or download mode but will go into some koren page with bar code and imei number..
I looked and looked for 9 hours with no luck :crying: is there any kind of fix for it? I even tried a usb jig with no luck. and plus i cant find a online shop that with jtag my lg g flex d959. im pulling my hair i just want mt flex back and working
update, I finally got it to work back to normal after bricking it with freedom flex app.
1. You will need an OTG cable.download Dfuse stock kitkat.zip and place it on your flash drive or sd card ( what a life saver). here's a link to his rom I hope its ok with D-fuse?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747098
2. boot into recovery
press and hold volume up & power button, until the lg logo appears wait 2 sec, release the volume button only. if successfully done correctly you get a black screen with a image of a wrench and hammer and korean letters. it will boot in twrp or cwm which ever you have in stalled with freedom flex.
3. factory wipe it through the recovery
4. install Dfuse kitkat.zip you downloaded on to you sdcard.
5. reboot and enjoy you unbricked LG G FLEX

yea this sucks real big ones lol. does yours also say unknow usd device also?

trying to keep from crying
yes having the same problem with the USB, I did contact freedom flex to see how bad this is, also for about two days of reading and downloading server files I am ready if the USB connect, now the phone is in a coma and we will bring it back to life trying to keep from crying. I'm also going to call a tech and find out how bad it is, i will let you know.

Can you get into download mode

ok I can get it to download mode but still get unknown usb device. and also i can get it to twrp recovery but in my computer device manager it gives me and yellow (!) and says LG-G-Flex and wont install any drivers

att d950
I can get into download mode and it shows the computer and phone with blue dots nothing moving, when i connect to computer the usb does not work, I installed with freedom flex twrp, i was able to do a backup of the phone and efs backup. The phone now is stuck with lg screen and if you hit the power and down button you may get Korean lang with your imei with bar code at the bottom

att D950
in order to do the sd card how were you able to connect usb not recognized ?

You wont be able to get the full download mode. Also it wont recognize at with the computer. Only way of doing it, boot it in recovery and plug OTG cable <~~( forgot to put that) with a flash drive or sd card and install dfuse stock kitkat zip and you be up in running

If you can get into download mode try fastbooting Dfuse's 4.2.2 "D95910c" stock ROM. You may have to use
fastboot update (click and drag the D95910c file here with out the ( ) ). Or fast boot the f340 aboot or boot.img and freedom flex's cwm.img then unplug power off try booting to recovery but remember you only have one shot once you get there. From CWM you'll need to adb sideload Dfuse's D95910c.zip to your SD if its not already on there. Then flash it in CWM recovery.

I have tried about the flash back to stock via offline .kdz method and its only worked for me once. Its such a janky jacked up lucky if it works method , but I've used this twice with absolutely no problem at . just make sure you have internet connection on your PC. And I don't think you have to get into download mode if you change the setting to "Emergency". Just follow forum instructions and uninstall any of the original offline .kdz method stuff and LG drivers if you have ever tried it. And reinstall the LG drivers with OUT your phone plugged in.
Then follow that forum. Like I said its worked for me both times I've used it. Only issue in had was the old offline method software was installed and not allowing the new flash tool to act right. But once I uninstalled and started with a clean slate ....I was Golden.
Good luck

Yeah kintwofan posted ya a link. Put download it and make sure it's a good download. Either in twerp go to advanced/sideload. And adb sideload the zip file to your sd or put the zip file on a thumb drive and use a female usb to male micro usb cord as an adapter to plug the thumb/flash drive into your phone. Then in TWRP go to "mount" and scroll down the list and check the box next to "usb-org" then back out and go flash Dfuse's 4.2.2 jelly bean Rom. And don't forget to factory reset after the 4.2.2 Rom finishes and before you reboot. Or you'll boot loop.
Then If your smart go ahead and put a flashable supers.zip file on sd or flash drive and flash that after flashing 4.2.2 and factory reset have finished. Then reboot system. Should be good to go. You'll be rooted already and you can go to play market and get the freedom flex apk and put ya a custom recovery , make a back up, and for heaven sakes stay on 4.2.2 till they get the kernel for 4.4 worked out. Lmao

Solution
Above post is mine.
I was stuck at LG Logo for 2 whole days.
You have to flash your phone.
I flashed my phone with same v20a (4.1.2 JB) firmware.
now its working absolutely fine.
Download LG Flash tool
Download Firmware.
pull battery out, Put it back in,
hold VOL- and Connect usb cable
then your phone will be in S\W mode.
then run Flash tool and select Firmware file,
and flash it.
your phone will restart automatically, then pull out cable and let it start on its own.
DONE.!
for LG Flash tool and Original V20A firmwares google and search.
as I am new member I am not allowed to post links or else i would have posted all the new links.
Its easy, all the best..!

so no hope for me?
can't flash KDZ, it just dosen't work, or freezes, or app stop responding and force-closes, when flashing by flashtool it errors after 17 sec...
any ideas?

Help!! Please!! Sprint LG G FLex Boot Loop

Hello,
to explain my situation, I purchased a sprint LG G Flex from CL with the intention of using it on Simple Mobile. I found a post on XDA where and individual created a custom ROM called "attsprint" that enabled this. I Rooted the phone without issue and verified it, next I installed FreedomFlex with the intention of installing a TWRP and then proceeding to flash the custom rom. The recovery was flashed to the phone and I verified then pressed Reboot in TWRP and the phone "Attempted" to restart but hung at the LG screen.
Well...I tried for a while to do the Hard Reset with the Vol down and power to no avail and got frustrated and started pressing buttons and found if I do the Vol up and power CWM came up, and If I do Vol up and Power while plugged to my PC a download screen which shows a phone with dots that connects to a PC and never goes past that screen.
So I attemped to ADB to it and sideload a stock rom but my ADB does not recognize the phone. I connected an OTG cable to the phone and flashed a stock ROM through USB and it said success but still will not reboot.
I can not seem to get anywhere on this phone.....I have dealt with lots of phones, PCs, tablets, Video Game consoles and been able to recover them all but this one is really frustrating me.
If someone else has any insight on this please help!
