[Q] Semi-bricked / Smartflash tool not working

Hi
I'm helping out a friend, which O2X I have rooted and flashed WIUI on to (I previously owned one myself too)
For some reason the phone started to get hot after a while and used up the battery fast, until one day where he couldn't even turn it on again.
Now, he has been trying to fix it himself with NVflash, but no luck, so now its up to me and you guys.
I have used the smartflash tool and flashed the EURO OPEN stock ROM and everything went succesfull, but when the phone reboots, the LG logo appears, and it bootloops.
I tried both with battery and no battery in, but still no cigar.
Any suggestions what I should try next?
PS: If I try to turn on the phone normally, nothing happens. not even a blink from the screen, but I can get into S/W mode and APX

Try lg update tool, choose recover as option, then choose imei as entrance

EDIT: The software says the update is not compatible (dunno if translation is correct, but you get the point)
Update is aborted :/

No more suggestions on what to do?
Tried:
NVflash
Smartflash (Flashed EURO OPEN rom)
LG Update tool (recover function)
The phone still won't boot.

Smartflash is the only solution like you said that the phone can boot in s/w mode try to dig some answer in smartflash thread or search in google i know you can find some answer there

Assuming you have carried out the procedures correctly, looks like this device is actually defective. Probably not what you want to hear, I know, but...
Before giving up completely, you can NVFlash it again (using the original 10C NVFlash from Modaco) and post the log here. Wouldn't get my hopes up though.

[Q] Stuck on LG Logo! Help No Recovery No Download Mode. ADB: Device cannot be found

Hello all, I rooted my G Flex while it was on 4.2.2. Then i did the OTA to 4.4.2, i tried to install TWRP for the Koren F340. That did not go to well, I am now stuck on the LG logo, my LG G Flex is not recognized by multiple computers, not even adb. I cannot get into download mode, the phone gets stuck on the download mode first screen with five dots.
Any advice would be helpful and much appreciated.

I had the same problem with the phone not powering off. You can get it to power off by holding the power and volume down simultaneously for a while. When the phone goes black keep holding them for a few seconds and it should power off completely.

my phone was stuck on lg logo but pressing only the power button the lg logo goes off, keep holding the power button for few more seconds and it will blink again and will shut off completely till you press the power button again...

I was also stuck on factory status error 2. You should try TO TOT zv6. The way i was finally able to get things running was first i connected my phone to a different usb slot on my computer.
Then while using the LG flash tool I also switched to Board DL instead of Upgrade DL
your phone will reboot to the AAT Screen – Click OK (Yes, it says not to), then hold down power and press normal boot (+power).
Your phone will reboot and all should be well.

I dont think this has been proven yet. I think you will be stuck on android M until a method is figured out. I thought you were just was trying to TOT from zv5 or zv6.

Can you boot into recovery? If so you may be able to adb sideload a factory image to get function back

[HOWTO] Upgrade to marshmallow, dowgrade to ZV6, and Fix Status 2

Well guys i was having problems as most of you guys saw on the the unoffical TOT thread but thanks to @autoprime for mentioning LG UP i was finally been able to get past status 2
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible with what happens to your device when using this program.
DO NOT TRY TO FLASH BACK TO ZV5/ZV4 OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
ATTENTION: DO NOT TRY TO FLASH BACK FROM ZVB TO ZVA OR BELOW BECAUSE OF A NEW ANTIROLL BACK PATCH.. AGAIN IF YOU DO YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
Requriements:
-LG UP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
- TOT Files:
Android Lolipop 5.1 ZV6 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g4/development/restore-sprint-lg-ls991-zv6-tot-t3213196
- Micro USB cable from phone to pc and Drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-drivers-t3127648
Steps to downgrade
1. First download and install LG UP from the thread BOTH MSI files.
2. Now put your phone into download mode via holding down the volume + and plugging it in to the usb.
3. Fire up LG UP and at first it may say UNKNOWN on the window so what you wanna do is disconnect and reconnect wait a few seconds and it should work.
4. Now it should say LS991 and select it and click ok
5. Now on the window select your ZV6 TOT FILE and select UPGRADE
6. On the bottom of the window there should be three dots click on them and find your tot file.
7. Click start.
8. After that your phone should start progressing
9, Should restart and work.
10. If it dosent make sure you factory reset!! (Hold down volume down and the power button and power then go the factory reset and wipe it)
To fix status 2 error
Thanks to @autoprime
1. flash zv6 and get stuck at blue screen.
2. power off phone and close lgup.
3. boot into download mode again.
4. this time.. instead of using LGUP.. use LG Flash method.
5. make sure you set LG Flash to use "Board DL" at the bottom of the screen where u select dll and tot.
6. should be able to flash either zv6 or zv9 using LG Flash (with Board DL option).

Glad you finally got it figured out...I must have gotten really lucky as I also got the dreaded 2 the first time but after uninstalling and reinstalling everything I was able to get around it...I am bookmarking this for future reference. Thanks again for your and @autoprime work.

Thank you! You are a savior! I'll try to do it once I get home and update my post.
Finally, a sigh of relief. My phone is back from the dead!

Just tried this and it still didn't fix status 2. I get the error, but instead of continuing on the phone, it stops. It just hangs at 0%. I guess I may be sending this phone into LG (praying that they will fix it). I cannot afford a new one.

I have status 2 still.

Weird well I DONT remember what I exactly did sorry guys

Got my phone working did the steps 1-7 above but used zv6, then I went back to the flash tool and used the zv9 tot, board dl and it went through swimmingly.

Im going to update everyone that you CANNOT FLADH BACK TO Z5 OR ELSE YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!

Where does the ZV9 tot file come from?

just got the ota notice this morning. i assuming its MM. is it pretty simple to downgrade back to zv6 (what phone came with stock). u have used lg up for fix bad flash but not comfortable with the lg flash method. aka open a comand window in lg root folder (method) is there a another flash method in case i get this "error 2"
thanks in advance.

So, tried downgrading to ZV6 from ZV9 and get stuck on Sprint boot image looping. Any suggestions on how to get it to boot correctly?

Has anyone successful downgraded back to ZV6 from ZV9?

So to be clear did you had ZV9 and did a successful downgrade to ZV6 using your steps??

Well, yes, kind of painful since I got stock on the Sprint Spark boot image (no boot loop, just the image) . So the painful part is that I needed to do a factory reset from factory recovery (lost everything )... but it then went ok.

That did it. Can confirm it works, followed all steps in the downgrade section and effectively it got stuck on the Sprint Spark image, had to go into recovery mode, select wipedata/factory reset and reboot phone. Im back from ZV9 to ZV6.

Worked for me too...on ZV6 now and going back to UltraPop.

Already have stock mm. Can I still root it? Where do I go? I'm fine with zv9. Or has root not been figured out yet..

worked. downgraded stuck on spark, then factory reset. working and updating as we speak
thank you

I have been able to flash back wards and forth using both flashing tech. Using LG UP and the old flashing way. Don't know why it worked but it did. Also pulled out as soon as the phone hit 100%.

G4 stuck on the T-Mobile splash screen

My wife's G4 is stuck on the white T-Mobile splash screen. I've pulled the battery and it just does the same thing. This happened while installing the MM ota. I can't get it to go into recovery mode using the power and volume down buttons. Advice?
I've tried to get both LGUP and LG Bridge to see the phone, but I have been unsuccessful.

are you able to boot your device in Download mode?
P.S. to flash KDZ using LG UP you need the device to be in Download Mode by the way

I tried for an hour earlier to get LG UP to see the phone and was unsuccessful. I don't know why, because it worked just now. I was able to flash the MM .kdz and fix it. Thanks for getting me to try again.
