I did create another thread, but didn't provide much info in it. Here is more information on my situation, any help is much appreciated.
I was planning to unlock my newly obtained G Flex LS995 for Sprint yesterday. Here was my process
-Used Stump Root w/Bruteforce Mode to Root. No issues, Root worked fine
-Used Freedom Flex to Install TWRP, yet again, no issues. Installed fine.
-Finally got to TWRP, did a restore, and this is where I made one crucial mistake; didn't wipe my system.
-Used the AT&T/Sprint ROM from Post #6 in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747066
-Successfully installed in recovery, rebooted
Now, my phone is stuck in boot loop (phone flashes LG splash screen, goes blank with LED indicator endlessly blinking). Here is everything I've tried to fix it:
-Access recovery mode via regular method (VOL - and Power) did not work though I did get to Hardware Key Mode a few times through this method
-Access to Hard Reset mode did not work
-Download mode does work
-Tried LG Flash Tool w/Sprint DLL and TOT, AT&T DLL (because this is a AT&T/Sprint ROM I installed, D950 is the model number flash tool believes it is) and Sprint TOT, did not work either way. Nothing on flash tool has worked.
I have more answers if needed, but that's what it's like right now. Won't boot, won't go to recovery, and because of the ROM I used, flash tool won't work over. I've pretty much come to the conclusion I am screwed, but I'd love somebody to prove me wrong, I really don't want this to be the fate... so am I bricked? Please let me know with any help... THANKS!
If you can access download mode you could flash D950 stock tot or 20a kdz. Then root and change build.prop to ls995 and flash stock sprint zv3.
Other process could be flash d950 stock root/twrp and then flash through twrp a stock zip of zv3 you can find it around (think its Dfuse who made this stock zip). Dont worry about cross dl I have done it a thousand times on mine and theres always a way around.
3rd way is to flash with a generic dll and stock zv3 tot.
If you need dll contact me thru PM.
I have same issue, almost. Flashed wrong rom but phone wont stay up long enough for me to edit the build.prop. rom is very unstable, and i cant find a stock rom for the model i flashed. (lg-d9550

I have the p880g model, I have rooted the phone and tried flashing CWM onto it.
Now, when I try to boot to recovery, I get "ERROR: boot image signation; Critical failure: unable to start kernel"
And when I try to boot regularly, I get stuck on the service provider splash screen (WIND Mobile).
Is there any tool I can use to get out of this? I had USB debugging enabled before this all went downhill

have you unlocked your kernel before you tried flashing cwm?

Do you mean unlocking the bootloader? No I didn't, I found out after the fact that the p880g can't.
I used this method to root it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
And then just tried using ROM Manager to flash CWM and then I tried rebooting into recovery.
Ah, didnt see that you have canadian version. You need unlocked bootloader to flash cwm trough rom manager afaik. What you can do to fix your issue, is reflash kdz file. There is a guide somewhere on the forum.

So it is fixable? I'm not exactly sure what a kdz file is, would you be able to point me to the guide? I'm also worried my phone won't be able to do it because I was on V09b development software, not whatever the release stuff was.
I had this same problem with my P880g, back before I realized CWM doesn't work with that model. I fixed it by re-flashing the V10C KDZ to my phone. However, it was already running V10C, so I don't know how yours will be affected.
The thread on how to flash a KDZ is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
Flash the kdz file with the kdz flash tool and put mode on emergency
NOT emergency cs that wont do anything

I don't really know what happened, did you successfully flashed kdz?
Where did you get it from? Here?: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
Try to flash one of these (choose correct one for you)
Than you have to install recovery again.
But before that you can try to wipe /system, /data, /cache and then flash CM11 (I know it works without problems)
And I recommend you these Gapps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

well... yes i think I flashed kdz (LGFlashTool ?) I used kdz to recover my phone to original, I know my phone is Korean version and right now I use P88020A-EUR-XXX original firmware installed with kdz
What is CM11? and how i flash it?
so I have to root and unlock bootloader again and use twrp again right?

I think you should try with CWM first, get it: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.5-p880.img
you can flash it with this app if you are rooted: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
then you can download CM11 from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=p880
and gapps from last mine post
and then boot to recovery, do factory reset and wipe /system, then flash rom and gapps.
Hope it helps
Crash After Flash OTA Vanir 5.0
I had a similar experience. I was installing OTA latest update of Vanir...not realising that it was 5.0...a screen came up telling me that it needed to flash another recovery...not realising why it needed that, I ignored the request to flash. Of course, I then "bricked" the phone. I was able to install the original JB 4.12 (v20c) back onto the phone but now it won't root. I've tried almost every method in this forum to no avail.:
ADB just gives a message "error: closing" when I use the boot.exe method
o4xr method does nothing
all-in-one method also does nothing
ADB does recognise the device. Drivers are installed. Any help is welcome!

Have you tried to flash a recovery using fastboot? You won't need to root (if you are going to use a custom ROM) and/or it will be easier with a custom recovery
Soft brick after last update.
Hello,
I seem to have a similar problem. I updated a few days ago using Vanir updater. There were no warnings re updating the recovery, just a warning regarding losing root. I checked restore root. The phone rebooted to the bootloader logo, then to a black screen. Now, I can access Cyanogen recovery, SW update mode, abd fastboot mode using buttons and the recovery options. ADB can see the phone only in recovery mode, but not in fastboot or SW update mode. CM recovery has no option to mount USB storage, so my PC cannot see the phone, and I cannot side load a new recovery and flash a new ROM.
Is there any way to use ADB if it cannot see your phone in fastboot or SW mode? Perhaps modify the settings.secure string to enable ADB? ADB can see the phone in recovery mode.
Otherwise I will try flashing a stock ROM via KDZ or LG firmware update tool, the re-root and proceed - but rooting was a major ordeal the first time, so I would like to avoid doing that again.
Thanks in advance.
Hello guys,
I'll need your help on this one as I've tried all solutions that came to my mind.
My XT1092 is stuck at the bootloader screen. I can access bootloader and execute fastboot commands but none of the bootloader command work (no recovery, nor reboot, whatever I choose the phone juste power off).
Before the brick I was running 5.0.0 and had just applied the small update (5.0.2 I think). The phone never woke up from this one.
I've tried to find stock images that I can flash via fastboot but I can't find any. (the only links I found lead to an inaccessible website).
I rely on you guys now...
Thanks !
I think I was in a similar position this morning. I think mine failed since I was rooted. Were you also rooted?
I got mine back up and running by flashing all the stock files (XT1092 5.0) via fastboot.
I then decided to switch my device to XT1095 and run 5.1, which seems to be working so far.
Yeah it was rooted.
The thing is I can't find stock 5.0.2 files for europe.
I managed to push a CM zip trough ADB, then flash it, then flash a stock brazilian ATT firmware via ADB, but I can't come back to my original version.
I also cannot start recovery unless I boot in fastboot mode, then launch "fastboot boot recovery.img" with a TWRP Recovery img.
I flashed back to 5.0, not 5.0.2. I'll find the link now (I'm on mobile).
As I said though, I decided to convert to XT1095 and try 5.1. Looks good so far, need to test 4G when I get into the city tomorrow.
EDIT: the files I used are found in OP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3001221
I used a fastboot that was lying around from a while ago. It was fastboot-v2 I think. If you need it I can upload it tomorrow.
Hello everyone. Got a problem here with a G Flex phone. I flashed a custom T-mobile ROM and Sprint (Boot.img and modem.bin) and everything was fine but this did not unlock the phone. Then i tried to flash it to D955. The second ROM flashed with no issues and also it did not unlock it. After that i entered TWRP did a full wipe and selected reboot recovery (because the phone had some issues detecting OTG USB). After that my phone did not enter TWRP and shows me a black screen when i try to enter TWRP. Download mode works but i can't flash it to stock because i get CrossDL [D955] to [LS995] error. I tried several DLLs (D959, LS995 and LGUP_8974) but they don't help, i still get CrossDL error in LG Flash Tool. Any ideas ??
Problem solved by editing tot file with winhex.
do you still have the custom rom ?
Well, I was poking around where I shouldn't have been and I think I flashed the wrong kernal to my phone. It's just getting a blank screen but I can get into fastboot mode to flash things. I had unlocked the bootloader before I soft bricked it but I flashed a newer version of TWRP and can't get it to open to that so either there's a TWRP issue or the bootloader isn't unlocked. When I attempted to unlock it again it did say "already rooted".
I'm on Linux and can't seem to get Flashtool working in either mode so that's not going to fix me. Is there a way to flash an entire rom via fastboot? I know I would need an ISO versus a ZIP file right?
Anyway, please help, this sucks and I'm at the end of my rope trying new things and don't want to make this any worse.
Anything, just point me in the right direction, I need this thing working ASAP.
Don't worry
There is no problem!
I had the same problem because i try to flash on a locked bootloader. But it is easy to unlock and to flash whatever you want.
But for you, you can flash the right version of recovry and then you can install a rom.
If you just want your smartphone to work, you can flash an official rom (with flashtool). (only official rom can be entirely flash with flashtool).
I hope you understand me
Maybe you can try @munjeni's xflasher:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/dev-xflasher-command-line-flasher-t2986634
Please read OP carefully - its an very powerfull flasher....
OR
Just flash an Kernel (via fastboot) with integrated TWRP - I would recomend Adv Stock for your purpose.
Adv. Stock Kernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/kernel-advanced-stock-kernel-t3346328
or
EliteKernel https://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/kernel-elitekernel-v1-t3427549
After that flash any ZIP you like...
