Bricked phone ?

Hi,
I tried to upgrade from v2.1 to new Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread For LG Optimus GT540 and I followed instructions exactly, but I am stuck at number 8, I did this:
8- Now click “Launch software update”, DO NOT USE THE PC TO THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. THE PHONE WILL REBOOT WHEN FINISHED THE PROCESS IN KDZ. (The process takes about 15 minutes in KDZ).
and about 2 minutes text log writes and stopped, I am now waiting more then 40 minutes my phone didn't reboot. On display is still written download mode, what should I do now ?
In kdz is written:
3GQCT: wParam = 205. IParam = 36
p.s.
I disconnected phone from usb and pull out battery and now I cannot turn on phone, I tried to push vol down + power for 5 sec.
Any idea what should I do now? I hope I didn't brick my phone

What programs are you using?
What are you using to update your phone and have you tried taking out your SIM, SD card and battery then turned it on with the USB cable?

I used KDZ updater and tried to install CyanogenMod7 (2.3.5) @ GT540 Swiftdroid2 RC3 by Mur4ik. if that is what you ask ?
I removed sim card and battery also, then tried to turn it on while plugged in to computer usb but no response from phone, I can't turn it on
p.s. I am using win 7 64 bit OS

If you can't get into download mode, then it's game over I'm afraid. What you will need to do is return the phone back to where you bought it. This happened to me some time ago. But the Carphone Warehouse were happy to fix it (even though I had voided the warranty but don't tell them that ). Don't say that you tried to mod the phone, say something like 'I installed LG's PC Suite and it said my device had a software update. I went along with it, but it gave me an error half way through. Now my phone won't turn on at all' It might just work!

I had the same problem when modding with kdz.
completely bricked my phone, but was able to fix by putting kdz into emergency mode instead of diag and updating with a fastboot stock rom,
it would stop after 2 minutes and give me and error but it managed to get fastboot onto my phone,
(camera + power)
then just flashed the fastboot method with adb and everything was fine,
my problem was something to do with lg modem drivers i believe,
I read a thread that said to disable the lg virtual modem. (didnt
work for me)
pretty noob myself
but the above method worked for me,
not sure if this can do anymore damage to the phone

have a look at this is u get it into emegancy mode.
On the kdz updater instead of 3GQCT put into emergancy

If you have tried flashing with Cm7 you might be lucky,
try holding camera button and powering on the phone, a black screen should come up thats fastboot.
if that comes up u should be able to just reflash following mur4iks instruction
if not try what i said in my last post and reflsh with phone type 3QGCT and PhoneMode EMERGENCY
again only going of how i fixed my bricked phone

He was trying to flash a fastboot rom (to install CM7) but bricked his device in the process. So he can't flash CM7-.-

Yeah I know that but I mean when I got the error he has, I flashed with a stock 2.1 fastboot rom With Diag changed to EMERGENCY and was able to get on to fastboot mode (camera+power), I got the error again as i was flashing but the phone would load fastboot and not start up
If he can get lucky and get into fastboot like i did, a simple:
fastboot -w
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot reboot
should fix his problem or did i just get lucky?
sorry if im confusing thinks here, but this is how i fixed mine. which was also dead and not turning on

Well like i told you im a noob at this myself (Android phone flashing atleast)
I suppose it would be good to see if you got fastboot??
Power on the phone while holding camera button (hold the camera button until the screen goes black) if you can get fastboot you can just follow the fastboot flash instructions after fastboot -w
if not on kdz in the top right were it says DIAG, Change this to CS_EMERGENCY,Click Launch update and flash again with a stock fastboot rom
after THIS see if the phone loads or boot loops(had this once too) or loads fastboot
Il try look to find the thread i read on another forum for troubleshooting kdz it helped me alot
EDIT: http://android.modaco.com/topic/321895-faqgt540-reference-thread/ try some of the troubleshooting tips at the bottom of the O.P
I basicly aimed to get fastboot working so make sure your flashing with a stock FASTBOOT! rom
again im new to this im just saying what got my phone back to life

I bricked my phone and I tried it again after getting it back from lg

I'm new here and to having a Smartphone, I've just been given an LG Android GT540 which is at version 1.6. The LG site tells me I can upgrade to 2 something or other, sorry can't remember the exact number and gives instructions on how to do the upgrade, but I'm a bit on the cautious side as I don't want to brick it, not this early on in owning my first Smartphone.
I'll be reading a lot of the posts here to try and find out as much as I can before I attempt to do this.

Well don't worry if it's official update. But if you some how brick your phone just tell lg the update bricked your phone and we are talking about unofficial updates

I've got phone today from service (not official LG service), repairman just manage to wake up phone so I can turn it On, but when I turn it I get black screen with message on it ''download mode''. Now computer recognize phone when I plug it, and I tried to update or flash it with kdz updater but have no luck
I launch kdz in emergency mode, load rom with updater, press launch button, and process started, (get messages unpacking software etc.) but after 3-4 minutes I notice that computer is blocked I couldn't do anything with mouse pointer, and I waited 15 minutes but computer is still blocked, even time on computer is stopped. I tried this procedure few times, every time it is same. Also tried to disable lg virtual modem in device manager. Any idea what I could do ?
p.s. repairman in service told me that he tried it to flash it with riff box, process started but after few minutes if stopped and blocked his riff box

D802T won't boot past the LG Logo

Here's the story in brief:
I connected the phone to LG PC Suite, it offered an upgrade to D80220C. I started the update, and left the phone connected to PC Suite over night to allow PC Suite to download the file.
I wake up in the morning to find the phone stuck on the LG Logo with the LED blinking like it does on start up.
Since then, the phone will not boot past that logo.
I tried the few guides for Stock ROM Flashing, but LG Flash Tool always says the phone isn't connected while in download mode.
Can anybody recommend a way to make the phone work again anyhow?

I cannot Factory Reset the phone, it gets stuck on the LG Logo itself. And I am unable to use the Flash Tool as well in Download Mode as Windows Keeps saying phone is not connected.

Nexus 4 Problem: Wont boot into system or recovery, but fastboot and able to flash?!!

Very weird behaviour:
1. Phone does not boot up at all - neither system nor recovery (tried 5.1 and 4.4.4 factory images and 2.8.3.0 TWRP as recovery).
2. Can start in fastboot mode and flash factory image but after flashing modem the device is "stuck" in QHSUSB_DLOAD mode.. when I restart into fastboot it continues to flash and finishes the flashing process apparently.
3. When the device is off and plugged in its recognized as "unkown device" or QHSUSB_DLOAD again - no signs of charging at all.
Phone got to me in "bricked" state - would not boot and was only showing red light when plugging in - after loading it for a while (it showed the battery with a lighning inside on screen during charge attempt, but no percentages at all) i flashed latest factory image but that did not help it seems.. =(
Tried "fastboot erase cache" as well...
Any ideas?

downloaded the stock factory images (tried 4.4.4 and 5.1 so far) from google and used the "flash-all.bat". Should I do it manually instead?
What you mean "-w update" is that a parameter for the fastboot flash command?

He is asking if you wiped the device after flashing. You flashed the image using the flash-all.bat, which wipes the device. And you even erased the cache. So from the flashing point of view, it seems you did everything right. Do you have the wall charger to load the battery (for some hours)? I would try this. Besides, here is another thread, which seems to be related: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/qhsusbdload-problem-t2253874
cheers

Had it charging for hours before flashing, so battery cant be the problem..
But when I now put the device on PC (or Charger) nothing seems to happen - not showing the charging symbols and PC recognizes the device as QHSUSB_DLOAD.
Fastboot mode is working, Boot to system and recovery show the google logo but thats it, not even a boot animation.

now its gettin recognized only as "unknown device" not even QHSUSB_DLOAD anymore.. weird

dont do fastboot erase cache. Do fastboot format cache.
reinstall the correct google usb drivers manually (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-s/general/tutorial-n00bs-install-drivers-windows-t1901617)
try to flash 4.2.2 and see if it boots up using the flash all bat.
that QHSUSB_DLOAD mode i think its teh qualcomm recovery mode or something like that, there is a thread on xda about it.

Yea good idea gonna try and flash older firmware - although there was 5.0 or 5.1 on it when the phone got to me..
Starting to believe its a hardware issue or the bootloader is fked up somehow - the thing wasnt even rooted when it wouldnt start anymore ...
Are there any ready to use packages to flash bootloader again with qpst? Dont have much time for this thing anymore - so I cant assemble my own files - unless thats a quick process.. but from what ive seen its a bit difficult, right?

thanks man, tried that but no help. Phone isnt really stuck in the qhsusb_dload mode but it just won't boot neither the normal kernel nor the recovery system. All I can get this thing to boot is the fastboot mode and sometimes after flashing and rebooting from there the phone will be recognized as QHSUSB_DLOAD. When I plug it in while its off (either PC or wall charger) the Google Logo comes up, just as if its trying to boot, but no charging symbols.
In this state (google logo stuck) the pc does not recognize it at ALL - after a while the pc says "unknown device" has been attached but it has no hardware id or anything.
So the booting process is broken most likely. Question is if that is fixable with QPST or something else? Don't wanna invest any more time if its not likely to suceed though.. Already spent hours on this damn thing.. =)

I know this situation man, I spent many hours too and finally solution came out that simple Hope you solve it soon

well i tried that - but i only get a "red" light when holding volume down and power while on wall charger.
This resets the QHSUSB_DLOAD mode, but still wont make the phone boot for me. Tried that combo several times - only "red" light no orange or smth.
When i do that combo when the phone is plugged in to the pc and its in qhsusb_dload mode the red light will flash instead of beeing on all the time.
So I think ill give up unless someone can point me to a good QPST guide to rewrite bootloader for the nexus 4...
Must be bootloader or hardware issue im quite sure..

Bricked my LG L5-E610 or have I?

Hey ^^
I recently tried to install a custom rom on my LG L5-E610 so I rooted the device, unlocked the bootloader and installed CWM Recovery on it. So far so good.
Btw I was going to use this custom rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7/development/l5-l7-cyanhacker-v2-0-sbp-t3061734
Beeing in CWM I flashed GApps, SuperSU and the rom of course AS WELL AS some sort of baseband (which I think is something that I was not supposed to do as it's not claimed in the custom rom thread)
And now everytime I try to power up the phone this happens: (video on my dropbox) https://www.dropbox.com/s/eifhw0pk1kwz2fd/LG L5 problem.mp4?dl=0
However sometimes after beeing stuck on that screen (and the screen turns off) i can (after pressing the home button) use the phone normally with the custom rom on it. Although sometimes the touchscreen or the speakers won't work.
But usually it's stuck like shown in the video.
I also can't enter CWM Recovery anymore.
Nothing helps so I hope some kind person on XDA can help me
Thanks in advance,
Schubi_1 ^^

The screen is gray? It should show the LG Logo and a message like "Don't remove the USB cable" or something...
Have u done this procedure? ---> 1st - Remove the battery and insert again | 2nd - Click the Volume Up (or Down, try both and see which one works) button and connect USB cable to PC | 3rd - Open KDZ and flash the stock ROM (or whatever .KDZ file you have for the e610) | 4th - If it shows an error in KDZ like Wparam or Lparam (0) just ignore it and wait till it reaches (100) | 5th - Let the phone reboot... You have to be patient here because it takes a really long time! | 6th - Enjoy your phone

my phone doesn't show any logos
the moment it turns on the screen the screen just stays as shown in the video
whenever i connect the phone to the computer (whilst pressing both volume up+down) and then start the kdz updater the only thing that shows up is:
PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!
i tried most of the things you suggested but nothing works
i think the problem is that i'm missing some sort of driver as my phone doesn't get detected by the computer as a LG L5 but instead as "android" wich my computer thinks to be a Mass Storage Device.

you have to leave the screen like this:

If you get put in this way, just connect to your PC and have them install the Stock ROM.
Now, if you could not leave it, try other key combinations to try to enter download mode.
do not give up!!!

I know how QHSUSB_BULK is used because I had a brick but what happened with my cell phone is that when I flashed it I stopped recognizing it. uninstall everything to start again and when I connected my cellphone, QHSUSB_BULK did not appear anymore. I think I install a rom that is not.
When QHSUSB_BULK did not appear, my computer recognized as UNKNOW DEVICE. but when installing the drivers I only recognized the Qualcomm HSUSB QDLoader 9008. because the android is still in UNKNOWN DEVICE. USB \ UNKNOW USB \ VID_0000 & PID_0000.
There is no recovery, no FTM, no load, no turn on.

Ok, you need to charge your device, at least 70%, even if no logo, sign of life, or whatsoever is need to be showed, then remove the battery, wait at least 5 or 10 minutes, put the battery back and inmediatly connect the usb cable holding vol down, so that way, you gonna force your phone to boot into FTM mode, don't be scared, that happened to me also, trying to flash a V1.0.0B13 with V2.0.0B10, and with this way i successfully make my phone come back to life again.
