I have done so much and probably have everything I need downloaded already but I am stuck.
LG - K 7 - Family Mobile (Wal-Mart/T-Mobile) phone
Tried to root it and got stuck into a security loop and was able to get into download mode at that point, I used LGUP and now my phone will not do anything. I can not get my computer to recognize it, it does nothing when plugged into charger. Its like stuck off so I cant get to a download screen flash my phone back to the way it was. Please I need help, ive found all the links to people in similiar situations as me and none of them have unlocked this BLACKOUT BRICKED UNLOCK ABLE MODE!
Different programs from android studios to LGUP to ADB and Fastboot, LG support tool, LG Flash Tool, and all the necessary files like LGUP_Lab_Frame_Ver_1_10, LGUP_K330, LGK330.dz, The K33011e (Walmart Family Mobile) zip file, proper .kdz files and some others.
PLEASE HELP ME.
Would be forever in your debt

Hi there, honored experts!
Today I got my precious Optimus Speed bricked, after I successfully restored a recent nandroid backup.
I've been happily running paranoid android for the last months, and often updated the phone with the help of goo.im manager. Today I did a full factory-reset after the CWM upgrade-process, to get rid of the old "disappearing keyboard"-bug. I backed up all my apps and data with superbackup and titanium-backup, and even created an online nandroid-backup (freshly updated nandroid-scripts and patch for my device).
After the reset I had issues to restore everything, since ti-backup often got stuck in batch-restore-processes. Because I couldn't stop the stuck process, it required me to soft-reboot the device a few times. And in the end, it failed to boot.
So I went into CWM, and restored my nandroid-backup. This went fine, and no errors were reported. But after soft-rebooting it, it only showed the LG-Logo-Screen, and nothing else happened. So I tried to get back into CWM - with no luck .
I've tried every possible key-combination I could find, and the only mode I can bring my device into is "S/W Upgrade". In this mode it is recognized by my laptop (running Linux), but rustys recovery fails, because nvflash reports:
Code:
sh ./flash-recovery-ext.sh
Nvflash started
USB device not found
even though lsusb shows:
Code:
# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 017: ID 1004:6000 LG Electronics, Inc. KU330/KU990/VX4400/VX6000
I'm fresh out of ideas - maybe one of you can help me out? Otherwise the only thing I could try now is to turn it back in where I bought it.
I'm no expert at these matters,but I can tell you from my experience because I bricked mine P990 two times and was able to bring it back to life.
In both instances I used Smartflash, found V30a ICS ROM for it and flashed it over it, and it came back to life.
But when you do this,you will have ICS bootloader and you won't be able to install PA or CM since they work on the old bootloader.
Or you can flash it to the stock Gingerbread ROM https://hotfile.com/dl/168874678/8ea13eb/NVFlash_LGP990_V20Q_EuroOpen.7z.html
And I would recommend reinstalling nv flash drivers before,just in case the error is on your computer. http://www.mediafire.com/?cdgwwgkdozht8pw
Also, try All in one kit, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737 maybe it will help you. I repaired my bricked phone with it a lot of times. Its very easy to use as everything is explained there.

this device is 99% unbrickable
just go ahead with the AIOT by SPYROSK (this guy is a silent killer with amazing skills)....link in my signature
it works like a magic....real magic if you read the opening post and do it properly
Thanks
Hi Obersoldat,
I'm currently on the new BL - PA has a spin for the old, and one for the new BL. Is smartflash a windows-binary? Since I currently have no access to a windows-machine :-/.
Hi Make1 and Sreeprajay,
thanks for your recommendation. I'll also hit that thanks button if it helps me solve this, but first I've got two questions:
1st: As said above, I currently have no access to a windows-machine. Therefore I wanted to try working this out with nvflash on Linux. AFAIK this should be possible, even though there would be no nice menu-system. The question is if there's a difference due to the special drivers on windows which are mentioned everywhere? I ask that, because I've successfully rooted my buddies TP-Tablet on Linux with adb, and without any special drivers (which were said to be mandatory on windows).
2nd: What am I aiming for in Spyrosks AIOT? Instantly I'd think option 2B (Change Recovery with NVFlash) might help me. As in ProgMaqs Full-Brick-Repair. Then I'd look into the batch-Scripts, and simply manually execute the needed Steps.
Ok, so I dug up my old windows-tower from the attic, soldered a power-cord that I was missing, and fired it up. Took me more than 2 hours - thats what I meant with "no access to a windows-machine".
I ran Spyrosks AIOT, but no luck . The only possible ways to save this phone, are IMHO the nvflash based methods. But nvflash on windows reports the same error: "USB device not found".
Yes - I installed the driver out of the AOIT - but it seems that it cannot be activated for my phone. I think it's not in the right state to be recognized as a device that would need that driver, so windows won't activate it.
Attached is a screenshot of how the phone appears in my Device-Manager when connected in "S/W Upgrade"-mode.
Do you still think this phone can be saved somehow? I had high hopes as I read that this phone is nearly unbrickable
Come on, please someone help me. I'm not trying to be lazy here, or have someone else do the searching/thinking for me. I just can't figure out how to solve this - propably due to a lack of experience.
I don't think this is a simple problem - but there must be a reason why that phone is said to be 99% unbrickable. I hope I'm not the other 1% in this case.
Anyone?
I would have known what to do if the pc recognized your phone when you've installed drivers because almost exact problem happened to me few days ago.
Okay, now I will suggest random things well, I'm just trying to help :/
I suppose cwm isn't working?
Then about S/W Upgrade mode, have you installed APX drivers? Because when you connect phone in S/W upgrade mode with APX drivers installed then Device manager shows no errors.
You also mentioned that you restored a backup so it means you have latest backup of your system which you wanted to use. Tell me if I'm not correct. Then full wipe of your phone will fix everything, you will just flash a new rom, do the rooting stuff again and then you can restore your backup again.
maybe its because you are on linus, try restoring a STOCK GB KDZ if you are on the old layout, if you are in the new layout use a official LG smartflash, try that on windows and use AIO Toolkit !
Hey, thanks a lot! Actually the last Tip did the Trick!
After I downloaded and installed the full LG phone suite, I was able to restore the phone with the official LG support-tool. During the installation of the PC-Suite one or two new drivers were installed, which then lead to the phone beeing correctly recognized by the Windows 7 on the PC.
So to sum that up, and clarify the questions I brought up earlier:
Can the windows Drivers do more than what the native ones on Linux?
Absolutely yes! Only the drivers which came with the PC-Suite made my PC recognize the P990, which it didn't do before. Propably even the special drivers which come with Spyrosks AIOT depend on them (correct me if thats not true).
Can I restore my bricked phone with only Spyrosks AIOT?
In my case that did not work. Even after installing the PC-Suite and its drivers (including the support-tool drivers) the nvflash based methods in spyrosks AIOT did not find my device, which was connected over USB. But LGs support-tool did, and revived the device .
Hope that helps other people in my situation. The legendary unbrickability of this thing is proven once again
Thanks to all of you (Yesyesyes - I'll hit that button right away!)
So here's my problem. I think I've bricked my device. Don't know if it's softbrick or hardbrick, but either way my phone just does not boot up. The only instance it works is when I remove the battery and try to charge the phone, it shows a picture that it didn't find a battery. All of this occurred while trying to unlock the bootloader. Something similar already happened to me like a month or two ago, but I was able to flash stock KDZ using the online LG Support Tool. Anyway, the part where it all messed up is probably the aboot.bin file, although I'm quite certain I flashed the right file for my device. Also, installed CWM recovery, and after restarting the device it just won't boot at all, not even the software upgrade mode or anything. So my guess is that something is wrong because of either a wrong aboot.bin file for my D405N or the custom recovery. I tried flashing stock KDZ, but I couldn't get my phone into software upgrade mode. Also, tried doing a hard reset, but an LG logo didn't even come up. The battery is at least half full. So is there anything I can actually do in this case? Any help is appreciated.
P.S. Yeah, I did post in another thread (though I didn't create it), but I'm quite desperate with this. Either I fix it myself somehow, or I'll have to take it to the warranty.
EDIT: Took it to a repair. Should be done in around a week. Got an old Samsung Galaxy Mini as a replacement.

Remember Next time Unlock Bootloader before Installing CWM.
Ok I need some help. As of right now my tab is dead, the only thing it does when powered on is loads to the Asus splash screen and that's all. I can not get it into Fastboot mode at all and Adb cant find it either. I have already tried Sp Flashtools to no avail. I have all the Vcom drivers installed, every where I searched the one driver that people talked about was the mtk6585 driver ( I think that's what it is ) , the one for me that popped up and went away really fast was a driver called CLOVERVIEW. So needless to say I cant get SP Flash tools to work, and without fastboot mode im really stuck. Ever since I first came across this site a few years back I have rooted, and put custom roms on countless devices, I would call myself an experienced flasher. Well this tab has me feeling like a real noob, I can not figure it out. So if someone can help me it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you XDA world.

I just got myself into the same situation. If you can get to a point where CLOVERVIEW comes up, that can be fixed (I actually just added a howto to the general section). However, I don't know how to get out of the stuck splash screen, since it's an awkward medium between download and fastboot. I'm not even sure what I did to cause this; I had just flashed boot.img and splashscreen.img and issued a fastboot reboot-bootloader.
The device does indeed pop up in download mode for about a second while booting; doesn't seem long enough for a flash. I would really like to find out if there is any way to force this device to boot into download mode.
Hello,
after weeks of research and trying I'm here to share with you my problem.
Before some weeks I tried to unlock the bootloader of my lg l90, I got an error message and then it died, or that I thought.
The phone has no download mode, recovery, anything, it has just a black screen. Searching the web I found lot of people having the same problem as me, although none of the solutions I found online was able to fix my device. As some other people have the same problem it would be good if we could fix it.
What I've got:
Black screen lg l90 d405n
windows pc
ubuntu pc
image & verinfo folders if I connect my phone to a windows pc
all partitions of the phone when I connect it on a ubuntu pc
What I've tried:
Lg flash tool (and official kdz )
pushing aboot (and some other files) through terminal
b2b
Having a solution (or an idea of solution) please share it below

If it's completely dead, I think you should do the whole process again, unless someone else find a new way to do it.
If you have any doubt post it in the guide thread, I will try to help you.
Okay, thanks for your effort
I made a vid so I can show exactly what it's doing.. Its only like 15 seconds

Tfat has to be frustrating, I don't want to waste your time, but hate to see someone with a dead device, so you've already tried qfil and lgup, and fastboot commands? And you've also attempted to get into EDL again I'm assuming, and have you looked to see what your device is named in device manager in this state, meaning I'd it labeling it a modem or ADB device.? I'm just throwing some stuff out there because if it's fixable, and I'm sure it is, you have to get it into some other mode. I get that screen too but it boots and everything. If these guys can't get you hooked up than that vlad dude can do remote work and I think he knows LG very well. Just a thought.
Can you describe what you have done to get to this point? I was in a similar situation last week that took about 12 hours of troubleshooting but eventually got it fixed and set up the way I want.
I made a mistake somewhere and flashed something or failed to flash something that got me in a similar state.
I will just throw out what worked for me. I had lost every bootable mode except for 9008 (edl?). So I tried using QFIL to flash Pie laf_a and laf_b or the Oreo version. This gets you LG Download mode back. From here I recommend using a KDZ to get back to stock and boot in to make sure you can. My first attempt at this point was flashing a Pie KDZ US unlocked (I have AT&T ). Would not boot. So I tried flashing the Oreo KDZ US unlocked… lo and behold it booted all the way up. From here I was able to start over and follow the guide to get Lineage OS.
Anyway hopes this helps you.
Thank you guys for answering me I will basically I've got magisk installed bootloader unlocked rooted and I was just my phone will boot up and stuff but you know what happens whenever I want to go into download mode or go into sucking whatever you know.. I went through all this trouble got this phone unlocked and rooted and stuff 90% of the s*** that I can use what does rooted phone requires a custom recovery which is the one sucking thing I guess you can't do so I'm thinking about just flashing back stop because I don't have this kind of irritated cuz there's so many modules I want to use and stuff and I can't because there's no way to flash custom recovery whatever seed wrmn whatever
