Sorry wrong paste..lol ..here is right info...
Check Device Manager for the current active "COM Ports"
Boot into DOWNLOAD MODE Plug the phone into the computer without the battery inserted Hold [VOL UP + POWER] Put the battery in and wait until it vibrates or for 3 seconds Check Device Manager for a NEW "COM Port...from dark lestat post in development... make sure to thank him

Follow every step but got stuck when it trying to flash and stop at 20% just like when I update using LG software. Order new battery hope fixing the problem. My first LG android phone can't return bought it on craigslist
Hopefully the battery will help...good news is if you can connect and start the flash each time it is not bricked...i have not seen this problem posted before so doubt it is hardware...does adb see it...if so i would try to wipe system and data and reflash...i would also pull sim and sd card before flash to see if that helps ?

Replace the battery with new and same problem, my phone doesn't even read my AT&T sim card.
Any button that I can do hard reset?
I had this same problem is your phone not turning on or just not downloading the update? I bricked my phone installing the update and it can be fixed but if you having problems with the connection during update you gotta keep trying it will go through. If it wont turn on at all there is a fix.

This is the problem:
1. I bought new phone on Craigslist running 2.2 and everything working.
2. Connect to PC and set up driver, software etc.. there is an update so I did.
3. Got stuck about 17-20% and message disconnect and re-reconnect etc.. and I did.
4. Ever since I can't t urn it on unless connect to a charger.
5. I will not read SIM card and kept saying reorganized when check on setting and mobile network.
I am stuck here cause tried so many time. Also, phone turn off with full battery charge but next morning when I turn on completely drained. I think software screw up some how during the initial upgrade. Just don't know how to fix it
OK try this take your battery out and plug it into your computer and hold the volume down key until you hear or see your computer recognize it. It should beep a couple times. Be sure to leave your phone off this whole time. Open up your LG support tool. Once it says your connected open the customer support tab. Click on "Recovery Phone." Enter your phones info and click the check button. It should take you through the steps from there. I had the same problem and had also bought it from craigslist. The good news is even if this doesn't fix it, your phone is less than a year old and can be sent to LG for a fix or they'll send you a refurbished phone. They will want a reciept but if you don't have it just tell them you tossed it. Same for the box if you don't have that. They will do it just start getting angry if they give you the run around. I was freaking out just like you LOL. I couldn't find anything on the web and the LG lady was just as stumped as me... I just happened to try this before I sent it in and it worked. Let me know if you have any luck.

As far as the update goes I eventually did get it to work. Just keep trying. I plugged it in to try again one time and it said my phone was already updated. I went and checked and sure enough it was. The visual change isn't dramatic your signal bars turn green and you get some more bloatware like a 3d game converter. The reason for this is the phone has a custom LG UI and will not adopt the gingerbread UI. Don't freak a lot of people insist its not GB but it is. There is a lot more to a OS than the user interface.

Warranty thru LG or at&t? You mind give a little more. I didn't even know LG has a warranty in US?
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
The warranty is through LG at&t wont do anything for you cause they will know you got it off CL. You'll need your imei and your s/n from under your battery. I wouldn't tell them you got it off CL. The only way this wont work is if the previous owner registered the phone with lg which is unlikely since they didn't even have the GB update. Call 18002430000. Again do not tell them you got it from CL. The phone is under a year old and they will do it for you. If it has to be told that it isn't yours say you had a step brother or friend give it to you. They will want a reciept but you can tell them you tossed it all and your imei Ans s/n will be enough. Also tell them it happened using their support tool. Good luck.

I got panic and it's in local shop if they can repair it but will take it back and try. Thanks.. at least someone here tried to help me... the link flash back to stock ROM didn't work for down load so I can flash it. I even root and flash custom ROM still didn't work now I want to flash it back to stock... if you can just help me a little please
download mode: I got a little confused cause someone told me take battery out connect phone to PC and put battery back. Yours didn't mention anything about put battery back in
Yeah when I did mine it wouldn't turn on at all even when it was plugged in so I think i left my battery in and did it bc it wouldn't respond to anything. I would try to get it to recognize with the battery in but if it turns on after you do plug it in then it will need to be out. You can try to put the battery back in after the computer and the LG support tool recognizes your phone bc after it gets done it reboots. I'm not sure if the battery is needed for it to work but mine was in but you can try it multiple times with it in and out. I freaked out too I had just bought the phone off CL and plugged it in to update and it had the connection failure a couple of times and then poof nothing no vibration no boot screen nothing. The LG people tried getting me to do a hard reset and when that wouldn't work she told me I would have to send it in and that it was still under the manufacturers warranty. I was desperate to say the least so I tried all kinds of combinations. The key is to get your pc to recognize your phone while it is off. If you can do that with the battery in I would try it that way first. If you don't have the box you will need to copy down the phones info, (IMEI and S/N) which is under the battery, for the recovery phone part of the support tool. It worked for me so I hope you have some luck with it. Also I would consider waiting until the ghost call thing gets fixed before you go to gingerbread. If I had known I would have stayed with froyo until they fixed it.

Ok I tried everything and it doesn't work. I now need to flash back to stock rOM using recovery. I need the file Thrill Stock ROM zip file and the link on forum about flash back to stock no longer working
I had the same thing happen to me. U hold down "volume down" and power button, when the phone is off and that will put it into android dfu mode. Now select factory reset and Press menu button.

Volume down for recovery and so on. Volume up for download from tool.
If your doing the recovery method that TheDarkLestat setup then your gonna need to do the software setup and drivers step by step. Assuming you have done that. Remove the battery then plug the USB in and quickly hold down the pwr, and vol UP till it vibrates then let go. Start the loader and place the battery back in while its doing its thing . Then don't touch it till its done.
Only simply way I can think of to repair a soft bricked thrill. As long as it loads to recovery or download then our phone Is fixable. You might be able to politely ask TDL to remote in and provide a fix. He was doing that for a lot of us for a while. Though if your not gonna donate for his time then don't bother lol.

It's just courtesy.
So I was flashing my OB with a newly rooted verion of 20i using the auto root tool and began flashing it. I've done this before many times without issue. This time part way through it stopped and eventually I got an error saying it had timed out. When I pulled the plug and plugged it back into the OB to try again, it won't go into sw upgrade mode. It won't do anything. Even if I try to power it on using my batter, charger etc...nothing.
Did I fry the OB?? I think I made the mistake of not having the right files for the CP and AP bin selections (backwards) but I can't imagine I fried it?

Auto root tool? Do you mean smartflash tool? If your referring to smartflash tool, it happened to me before. After flashing 4 times a got an error and saying i had a time out. What i did is just turn off the phone and leave it for an hour maybe 10hrs After that try to turn on the phone or try to flash again. If you have problem entering sw upgrade mode try to hold the volume up a little bit longer like 1 minute until it enter sw upgrade.

Yeah it was the smartflash tool, after rooting with the rom converter.
When you left it, did you leave the battery in or out? Plugged in?
I just pull out the battery and leave it for an hour. The error indicate time out so be patient and take some rest.

There is nothing displayed on the OB. The timeout was with the smartflash tool on my PC. I've left the phone empty for an hour and tried plugging in. Nothing. I think she's hooped.

Yeah the timeout was with the smartflashtool it happened to me and just like what i said before i pull out the battery and i leave it for an hour then i flash rom again using smartflashtool. Try this hold volume up( keep holding even it takes 1 minute just hold it) then connect it to the pc using usb. Keep holding volume up until it enter sw upgrade mode. I have a case sometimes that it takes 30 secs to enter sw upgrade. In case you enter sw upgrade and you flash rom check also if you still have battery left on your phone. Don't unplug it quickly just take some time to charge the phone. If this method did'nt help you, I think you need to go to lg service center. But before that try your best and look for all possible solution to your problem.

Doesn't look like its going to work. The PC won't see it and it won't turn on. Tried a few different computers too. I'll leave it overnight with the battery out but likely it'll be shipped out tomorrow for repair.
I have to say, after just shy of a year of ownership with this thing, this is the first phone to pile up on me like this. Yet another reason why I'll never buy LG again. (Oh and their refrigerators SUCK too!)
GOOD NEWS! My replacement phone came in today!!!
BETTER NEWS!!! It's a Galaxy S2X and I'm putting a modded ICS for my carrier on it as we speak! Far better phone, and way more support.
Thanks to devs for your hard work here. Sorry there were so many tools asking for ETA's. I hope there are less foolish people in the Galaxy thread.
Peace
Lucky you!!!
I must try that trick and fry my phone too.
Really hard on the devs trying to fix stuff without full source code and drivers available. I am on the verge of swapping my ob plus some money for s3 right now, will wait until September but that will be the end of it.

Hi again guys, So heres the thing. My boss brought me this LG Thrill 3D(p925) i think it is. Problem is that the phone has no IMEI and or baseband showing. It will turn on but will not enter recovery no matter what i have done. So my guess is that it was flashed with Froyo having the gingerbread baseband(not sure about that). Anyways, I decided to try to flash it with gingerbread and have follow all the tutorials i have found in here and google. But no luck at all. When its flashing or updating the phone it will stop communicating when it reboots to download which is a completely black screen lol. And the updater reads that there was a problem communicating with the phone. Question is, is there a workaround so that at least i have a recovery to flash it? And or a way to force the update proccess? Perhaps the phones is bricked even though it turns on and wifi works and all that. Also btw, the phone turns on only if connected to a charger, but it wont connected to the usb cable from the computer and or simply pressing power on it. In order to turn it on, i need to insert the charging cable and press power. Any ideas?

True that, but the phone seems like download mode is not working correctly. When i put it in download mode(pressing volume up and inserting the usb cable) The phone seems to be there, at least it vibrates and show as serial on device manager. But then when firmware flash starts it will stop on 15 percent and then send a message about problem with communication. I dunno what to do since i cant get to recovery neither. My guess it maybe because of the corrupted IMEI and no bb showing but im not shure of that. It maybe be bricked someway somehow. Funny thing is that it will turn on normally if i insert the usb charger and press the power button, but it wont turn on without the charger. After that it just works normally, except for the no imei stuff. It even connects to wifi also.
Someone posted a fix to recover imei number look in the o3d forum it is the same phone as thrill

Hello, all! Needless to say, I have a problem. Here it goes: Today I factory reset my HTC Vivid, Unlocked Bootloader through HTCdev, perm rooted with the JBear All-In-One-Tool, installed CWM with the aforementioned tool, S-Off'd with the JBear tool and wire trick and unlocked my sim. Once all of this was done, I downloaded the app called "Freedom" (Free In-App purchases for AppStore (iOS 5, iOS 6 with JB, OS X) and Google Play), got the error "Freedom cannot be installed on this device," followed the advice to "Download localepicker and select russia or pyschh at the bottom of the app list!!and you are solved with all errors...." It worked and had Freedom working, but my phone was kind of laggy and I powered it down to restart it.
Here comes the problem: I try to power my phone on and nothing happens...nothing at ALL! I tried holding the vol down and power button...nothing. I have a back up battery and tried that with the same result. I removed the battery for about 10 minutes and came back to it, inserted the battery and tapped the power button and the backlight came on to a blank black screen and wont do anything else. I tried to plug it in to the computer via usb and flash the RUU I had on hand (just in case I wanted to quit failing at the wire trick lol) and I got a crazy sound. No the normal "successfully plugged in a usb device" sound, but a 3 tone (2 mid, 1 low) sound that reeked of rejection. I don't know what to do now obviously. I'm here! Any help would be loved and appreciated.
Thank you all in advance,
Mister Gilmore

Thank you, I appreciate anything you may or may not be able to find. I really want to avoid the HTC send seeing that it will cost me dearly. Warranty = Over.
Couple questions to out rule some conclusions
1: do you use set CPU or any over clocking app? If you did what were your configurations?
2: when you turn on the phone and the black screen appears can you hear any notification sounds or calls? ( try calling and texting yourself )
3: what ROM are you on? ( can't see from the xda mobile app )
4: how old is your vivid?
5: does the phone turn on using the original battery instead of your backup one?
6: does it charge?

OK... I would find a way to charge a battery... I assume they are dead...
CWM does not support charging when the phone is off...
And this Freedom app sound like piracy... you may have gotten screwed up from the place you downloaded that from

1. No CPU or overclocking app.
2. There is no sound at all. I tried calling...no dice.
3. ICS 4.0.3
4. I've had it since November of last year (brand new) but I only used it until December. Then I didn't use it again until this December, so it's only been active only 2 months.
5. Both batteries power on to the backlit black screen, no vibration no sound, no wait. Even after i remove the battery, pressing the power button instantly turns it on. No 3-4 second wait like normal.
6. I can't tell if it's charging. No Orange/green light, but plugging it in turns on the screen (black/backlit).
Thank you so much.

Oh, no siiirr! I do not involve myself with piracy. I found Freedom after Google Play told me I had to repurchase certain items that got wiped out when I unlocked my bootloader. The statement on the page I got it from (I don't want to post the site seeing that I don't know if it would violate XDA policy) says:
"This software is not a Crack. No services or software were damaged. Freedom doesn't interfere in work of Google servers.
Remember: Freedom launcher was made only for legally installed applications. You can use this application to get content, already included in these apps. Please do not pirate Google Play apps."
As far as charging the battery, I had my back up charged fully and my regular batt was about 50%. My girlfriend has a vivid and the batteries work fine in her device.
Sorry to say but I think you are looking at a brick here dunno if its soft or hard though.....best to call up HTC as if you can't even get into bootloader then there isn't anything you can do

Wait for the screen backlight...
Hold power and volume down as to boot into boot loader...
I assume you have the HTC drivers installed...
Try to fastboot flash boot boot.img from the ROM you have... ICSS or whatever...
Yes... I know there is nothing on the screen... check the readout on your terminal window...
Hopefully it will flash...
If that works... download twrp from goo.im for the holiday and flash that... see if it comes to life

New information: As I was attempting what you mentioned, instead of the instant "2 mid, 1 low" sound from my computer when I plugged the phone in, it was delayed about 4 seconds. ALSO, WHen I attempted to run the latest RUU WITH the battery, I was told my battery was below 30%. Charge battery and try again. When I attempted the same thing with no battery at all I was told that the device could not be found. Is this a good thing that something remotely recognizes my device? Is there hope still?

Just buckled down and called HTC. I'm Still under Warranty. So I'm gonna send it in Monday. Thanks to you all anyway.
Same issue
I'm having the exact same issue with my Vivid too. My phone has been S-off and all that fun stuff for a long time so I know that has nothing to do with it. Order of my actions leading to it are as followed.
Using TWRP I did a factory reset/wipe then flashed from Paranoid Android 4.1.2 Rom to the PACMAN 4.3 Rom, I have used the Pacman rom briefly before so I don't think its the actual ROM that has anything to do with it.
Instantly upon boot my 32gb sd card became corrupt and unusable right after finishing installation. I reboot my phone to see if it was just a hiccup and would come back. That was it. Now I just get the lit black screen with nothing else. All 3 batteries have a full charge. I keep two fully charged then once the current is drained completely I do a swap to maximize battery life. Let it die 100% followed by an uninterrupted charge. I was really hoping to find an answer here. But to read the phrase "This is a new issue I've never heard of" scares me. I've tasted the android sweet life... I can't go back to a crappy flip phone now. :'( I'll keep looking around and if I catch on to something I'll keep you posted of my findings.
So I just tried plugging into my computer, and I got a driver installation window. (Yes my HTC drivers are installed) Its looking for drivers for a device named "QHSUSB_DLOAD" I have never seen that before, even without HTC drivers.
Qhsusb_dload is the universal sign for bricked... I don't know what causes it... But... The known fix is JTAG.... Very sorry for your loss

Just looking for opinions. I have a stock note 5, no jail breaking or weird loads. Just a run of the mill Note with way too many candy crush saga apps. We weren't even using it a couple days ago when it turned itself off. Reboot just got it stuck in an endless boot cycle. Loading normal or safe mode gets you the android 'no command' blue screen of death.
I figured maybe bad update...possibly load new firmware. Samsung's smart link application doesn't work, as apparently I don't have a S/N, it doesn't exist and you need that for smart link. (It's not the IMEI.) Anyway, Samsung over the phone told me to try a best buy samsung rep, they'd flash it for free. I thought that sounds safe. But they couldn't get it to recognize my phone....Verizon won't help me, I'm past the year warranty. But still owe too much money to pay it off and get a new one through them...That leaves flashing it myself with Odin. So I did. It went ok, it said it PASSED, the phone rebooted....It started a little config in what looks to be a factory reset type screen...it got to 'erasing', refresh arrow spinning to show me it was going, then it just stops. The world stops and no amount of letting it sit every gets it to go again. Rebooting still has 'no command' and no signs of life.
Any thoughts on what might be going on? Anything else to load or try? The phone's no good to me ****ed, so I'm open to suggestions. Likewise, does it sound like any hardware related things? Is there any hope? would love to hear a first impression from someone more experienced with phones and Android.
Try flashing the latest stock firmware in Odin using "Nand erase all" ticked under options..
Let us know how it goes..

Same Problem it looks like. Odin does it's thing for about 3 minutes. Says 'PASS'. Phone restarts, does some initializing bar moving stuff for 10 seconeds, it switches to 'Erasing' then the phone just stops
That's unfortunate dude.
I'm really sick of Samsung phones. They're just terrible. As someone who's had to replace their screen twice and battery three times, it shouldn't be difficult to replace the motherboard.
This happened to my NOTE 5 (SM-N920V) as well
YOUR NOT ALONE! THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY NOTE 5
I was fishing, this morning at about 7am when my phone rebooted all on its own to the same Samsung Boot Logo screen then stuck as well. NO RYHME NO REASON, I have never, ever cracked, hacked or smacked this phone either,:highfive:
"The only updating that has been done has come via Verizon/Samsung..." But none recently ...that I recall as in, the last week or so.
While I will admit doing "it" (hacking,cracking,modding,) to other android phones (Obviously or I wouldn't have a membership here). But this Note 5? No... Maybe perhaps that's why its broken now? LOL...
It does always seem that my continued membership here is not in vain though, ......
For now, I will do whatever it takes to get it back... .......next to buying a new phone or it not coming back on ever.
I will share here what I did to resolve the issue. And I will without a doubt utilize "EVERY" resources here at XDA-DEVELOPERS to do it, and happily without the help of Verizon or Samsung.
So far I have determined that my Note 5 version is not commonly referenced here which is: the SM-N920V (Verizon U.S)
Thank you XDA-Developers this is why we need informational communities like this in our lives! :victory:
Even though I may still go nutz during this repair... if it happens.... Wish us luck!

might be bad emmc look into booting from sd card not possible on all devices but may be a start,I had a note 4 do the same thing and most def was bad emmc
Unfortunately, my sd card is internal on the Note5 the unique thing is the Note5 does not have an pop of back plate that covers the battery as, like previous versions which allow the back cover to be removed easily, I mean yeah I can take this thing apart, but its not conventional.

Is there any good way guides on how to find/test eemc or battery or whatever? I can't find many resources at all on how to help me troubleshoot.

What you need to do is in Odin options... Uncheck auto reboot. Find the exact .PIT file for your model and put it in odins PIT spot and ignore that it says it's for developers only just add the PIT anyway and in options again where you unchecked auto reboot make sure you check NAND erase all and then add your firmware and after odin flashes it and finally says PASS then disconnect the phone and then hold the volume down button and power button at the same time and when the screens turns off let them go and as soon as it comes back on select nothing but factory reset and when it gets into the recovery mode if it list options and you see factory reset a few lines down use the volume down button to move down to highlight the factory reset option and hit the power button and on the next page again go down to YES and hit the power button again and then let it finish and reboot and least give the phone a good 20 minutes after it's rebooted to get itself setup and to the point where you can start setting it up the same way you did the day you turned it on for the very first time.. Let me know if this works and don't skip any steps.

The newer Samsung's do not use eMMc they use the newer UFS 2.0 which is why the note 5 and S6 never got micro sd slots. I could be wrong here but I don't think so.

Where the hell can I find pit files at? why is this **** so obscure on google search. I can't find **** all. It took me forever to find a fireware that appears to work. I'm having no luck finding .pit files

Well ****, we're worse off than when we were before. I don't know if this in indicative of a hardware problem, but now that the battery has had time to drain, I plugged it in and left if for a day, but any time the cord is plugged in the phone is stuck in an infinite no command/reboot loop, and I can't get to download mode with up arrow + home + power like I could before. With the phone unplugged it has no life whatsoever.
Could this be a battery issue the whole time?

Yes and it sounds like a hardware issue by draining that fast.. Did you try holding the volume down button and power button until it reboots?

So When it was plugged in to my comp it would not go into download mode...If I unplugged the cord, it would not turn on.
I got a wall outlet charger instead, with that plugged in I could get to download mode, and when I tried to turn the phone on without the wall charger it gave a 'battery 0%' warning...
Anyway, I got it to down load mode, unplugged the wall charger, moved it to the comp and did the flash with the pit file...Odin said it passed. I restarted the phone, picked factory reset. It installs a few quick things, goes to 'erasing' and after about 20 seconds, freezes, same as last time. Now it's back to no command

How long did you let it sit there? Do the factory reset again and let it sit there for a little bit and see if it eventually goes. If not boot into recovery again and read to see what version firmware is listed.

It kicks itself off and goes to a 'no command' after the erasing screen gets stuck and quits 'twirling' for awhile. I don't know how to see a firmware listing. I can't get to a recovery mode(using that terminology to google some screenshots, I don't have that). The phone boots to maintenance mode only...any option I pick there goes to no command. I can use the vol down + home + power to get into download mode so it will be seen by the pc. That's about it

That means that it didn't flash fully.. What firmware version did you flash in odin? And you can see the phone version again by going into download mode too it should be right at the top after pressing the volume up.
