I had bricked my LG OPTIMUS T P509 earlier and was stuck in a never ending loop of LG boot.
Eventually realized i had a bricked phone.
Decided to play around and found KDZ Updater.
After much research and googleing i found the kdz file for the LG OPTIMUS P509 and was able to flash the phone back to Stock again.
It will recovery in Android Recovery 3E and you just do a battery pull and it will boot again.
Will take awhile to boot up but after it does your phone is back with everything stock.
Strangely nothing was erased keeping all my apps intact.
Only downfall, root was lost.
can you direct me to that kdz file or settings. have bricked p509. Now not responding at all'
I can't find kdz anywhere.
Anyone have a link?
I just bricked my LG Optimus P509 T as well Can someone please point me in the right direction to revert back to 100% stock?

Thanks! I had downloaded another version of the translated KDZ program, but I've been unable to have it recognize my bricked Optimus T in "Emergency Mode"
Also I downloaded a original stock ROM from Australia as there are no T-Mobile USA ones available for the LGP509; unless I've missed something?
Let me give this one a try... Thanks!

No luck. The KDZ program crashes the second I try and have it recognize the phone. Using Windows 7 here. Should I try XP?

try running KDZ as Administrator... right click run as... or highlight kdz executable and right click then go to properties tab, there you wil find compatibility modes tab and just run it as winxp

Manually boot the device into emergency mode before you try to use KDZ. To enter emergency mode, turn off your phone and hold the following three buttons:
Back + Volume Up + Power
You should get a yellow screen that says "Emergency Mode"
Once you get there try to see if your phone is detected by your computer. Let me know how it goes
I am just wondering if I need to shake the device
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You can try that if KDZ can't flash the file correctly. But I thought your phone couldn't be detected

I was trying to install a custom ROM and did not know I needed an unlocked bootloader, as I used ROMs on a S4 without doing any extra work.
Anyway, so when I attempted that, my Optimus L9 rebooted and gave me the LG logo with the "Security Error" words below it. It's stuck on that now. I tried using the LG Mobile Support Tool, but it gets stuck on downloading new software. The progress bar disappears quickly, so I'm sure it's not downloading.
I tried leaving it to download for around 45 minutes, but it was stuck on the same screen when I came back, with no progress bar. It can't be that it's taking long, I have decent Internet (150/75). I'm afraid of leaving it for hours as the device does heat up.
Is there ANYTHING I can do? I tried calling LG and the woman who was there to help me was rude and treated me like an idiot, only to give me the solution of sending it in. PLEASE help me!!

It's always best to include your device model when asking questions like this. There are four models of the L9 and the all have different quirks.
A factory hard-reset or use the 'Recovery' option in the LG Support tool. Only things I can think of at the moment with a lack of details.
Did you back anything up? If not, not much else to do other than try what I've suggested.
This post may also be of some interest.
Advice::
Never assume anything. Research is your friend I had an LG Optimus One, was easy to mod, root, etc. I bought this L9 ( P769 ) on the assumption that it would be similar. Boy was I wrong. However, I did the research before attempting to do anything with the L9.

I really regret doing what I did :crying:. It's definitely a huge lesson for me.
My model: LG Optimus L9 MS769 (back cover says P769?)
If a factory hard-reset means holding the home button, voIume UP button, and power button, then I already did that but I did not reach the robot.
In the LG support tool, after I enter S/W upgrade mode, it says the software version is V10D and that there is an upgrade available. When I start the upgrade, it goes through the first step but when I get to the second step, it doesn't download I think. I have an image but I can't link to it since I have under 10 posts.

Their network is horribly slow. I've heard of people waiting 2 hours. In addition the tool appears to freeze. However, it's still operating.
I don't prefer this method because of the time.
Learn how to use the unofficial fastboot & offline flash.
Or just keep waiting for that program to finish.

So it's normal? The reason I thought otherwise was because when I searched, I saw 0 people with the stuck/long download issue and figured it was just me. I didn't want to risk my device even further as I am aware that it has been soft-bricked, so there is a little hope available. Should I let it sit for 3-4 hours and let it over-heat?
I attempted the fastboot method but my device was not showing under the Devices section. I do not have a "Other Devices" section when I get to the step.
I am trying the offline flash method now, although I can't find a working V10D KDZ.

At this point you don't have anything else to loose. I honestly can't say yes or no. I think all pertinent partitions will be updated to the newer version. I've never used this method so I cannot say 100%.

As in LG Support Tool? No I don't think it will since your phone has been altered with unofficial methods. I could be wrong tho.
Just realized something else strange, IMHO, my P769 came with Android 4.1.2 ( JellyBean ) and you say you were on stock ICS?
Just out of curiosity was it a WalMart purchase? They're still advertised as having ICS 4.0.4. Last update I got was to from V20G to V20H which is what I'm on now.

I mean that in order for the KDZ flash to work you must do some edits in the host file so that you can do the offline fix, I did it but it won't work as the tool crashes while connecting to the device.
My device also came with 4.1.2. It did not come with ICS. But when I open the support tool it says V10D. I bought my L9 from an official MetroPCS store

Yep. Hurry up and right click on it before it disappears and select "Update Driver". You need to manually point Device Manager to the usb_driver folder in the fastboot tools folder. You may have to do that a couple times. If successful, unplug USB from device wait a couple seconds and plug back in. This will reinstall the drivers just in case they didn't take the first time.

I got fastboot to work!!! I got the inverted screen and all. Now the problem is that I can't flash the phone . I keep trying a KDZ I downloaded. The supporter tool provided in the zip keeps trying to connect to the phone, the UpTest one loads the new Support Tool and it crashes, and the KDZ UPD tool gets stuck on unpacking KDZ and says no phone found.

Hi all,
Thanks in advance for any help. I originally was attempting to root my phone following this guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2277639. I was able to use the software update tool several times to flash to V20B and V20D. After a few tries, I read on the authors forum to flash to v10g as I was having some issues (got the CWM L9 Recovery tool installed, and after booting to it, got stuck on encrypting). So I flashed down to v10g. After that, phone wouldn't boot. So have attempted to use the upgrade tool to flash back to V20D or B and have tried following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344. Even though I can get the S/W Upgrade screen, the software upgrade tool keeps stopping at 15% and tells me the cellphone is not connected. Even though I had gotten it to work before at this same method, I re-installed the drivers and even tried the whole process on a 2nd computer with no luck. I'm guessing the downgrade to v10g is the cause of the issues I'm having, but do not have any idea at this point how to fix it. I have spent hours searching the forums, but have not found a solution yet, so any help or links to posts that could help would be appreciated.
I have the P769.
And if you happen to know why I get stuck on encrypting after using and rebooting from L9 recovery tool, that would be an added bonus. (found it, looks like it was busybox x, will try when I get phone back up).
I have tried on computer running Win 7 64 bit and Win 8 64 bit.
Thanks!

I followed your directions. It seems like we have made progress but am still having issues. It did install some updated drivers, and with the online LG support Tool, seems to find the connection, but stops due to an error at 15%. I also noticed that the screen goes black on my phone and S/W upgrade is no longer displayed. Don't know if there is a timeout were it does this or it is shutting off because of the update process and not coming back on.

I do not see that option. Let me confirm that we are running the B2CAppSetup (LG Mobile Support Tool) and not the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin (R&D Test Tool) program at this point.
Nvm, it looks like with the update, even running the R&D Test Tool, it takes you to the LG Mobile Support tool which will crash if you have it blocked. Same results when not blocked, stops at 15%.

The only options in the LG Mobile Support Tool is: Options and Help in upper right hand corner. Under options is country/language and Upgrade Recovery. On lte left side shows my model once it is connected and gives me greyed out install usb driver option and start upgrade. Those are the only options.Here is an image of what I have.

Still stops at 15%. I have also tried running fastboot. I get about halfway, but when it comes to the part to reconnect to the phone, it just hangs.
Well, using fastboot, I have got the LG tool to now progress past the analysis part and get to the actual update part, but now stops at 15% there. Progress, but am at a loss at what to try at this point.
To sum up, phone will not boot at this point. Can get to S/W upgrade mode on phone. Phone stops at 15% at update portion.
I have tried the offline and online update methods, along with fastboot (get through the entire steps on the computer, but at end screen shows LG logo with fastboot in corner, don't know if this is normal).
I have tried a few more solutions to no success. Luckily, my phone was still under warranty with T-Mobile for about 2 weeks, so sent it in since it wouldn't turn on (unless you did S/W upgrade mode). Hopefully, they wont notice why. Thank you for your suggestions Bojo.

Hi, first of all i think my issues had already been solved
but for other LG smartphones, not D618.
My problem occurred when I playing around with hidden menu, and I hit reset button on the FOTA menu,
and then my phone restart and stuck in a screen that I never seen before, the screen show three line of text:
● FOTAFS_Open/cache/fota/log/FSUA_LOG_000.txt, 0, No such file
● FOTAFS_Create/cache/fota/log/FSUA_LOG_000.txt, 66, No such file

So I googled about that and I found on a Vietnamese forum that it can be fix using LG FlashTool. But the problem is the tool need a correct .dll file for each device and I can't find anywhere the exact .dll file for LG G2 Mini D618. So if anyone could provide me the file I will be very thankful coz my phone been dead for 1 day.
I already tried flashing the kdz file, but no luck.
I tried to sideload stock recovery via adb but adb didn't detect my device.

Hi, first of all i think my issues had already been solved
but for other LG smartphones, not D618.
My problem occurred when I playing around with hidden menu, and I hit reset button on the FOTA menu,
and then my phone restart and stuck in a screen that I never seen before, the screen show three line of text:
● FOTAFS_Open/cache/fota/log/FSUA_LOG_000.txt, 0, No such file
● FOTAFS_Create/cache/fota/log/FSUA_LOG_000.txt, 66, No such file

No, I'm still using stock recovery, the phone is rooted.
Yes I can get in to the download mode, I already tried flashing kdz and usually if the bootloop is on the lg logo, it can turn back on normal, but now it keep booting on that screen.

HI I already tried this, but when the LG software trying to download the firmware, it always quit around 50% and when I tried again about 3 times it always quit. Can I do "Upgrade recovery" in offline?

Now my phone turn back on to normal, I finally took it to the LG service center, and they replaced my motherboard.
So if any of you guys experienced the same, I'm telling you there's no software solution to fix this, it seems because I rooted the phone and somehow it lock the motherboard when it trying to perfomed a FOTA update.
Recently I brick my lg p500 while reboot in amon ra thunder G recovery . due I have stock ROM already installed I just unrooted phone and went to service center at Bharuch India. They told me it is easier for them to repair and make it working . because we have no opportunity to use now kdz and there no way to save it .
So anyone please tell me the minimum cost of repair asked by lge repair center.
Here they asked me to give 250 INR. I was shocked in greb my phone and ran away from shop because I have not even 10 INR. :crying:

Why can't you use kdz?
I think that you may be able to use it with the bootloader.
Edit: I found out what you need to do.
First, you need to boot to emergency mode.
Instructions are here, it's the same for the Optimus One, so no need to worry.
http://www.ehow.com/how_12314778_boot-emergency-mode-optimus-t.html
Update: Here are more complete instructions.
Make sure you have installed the LG drivers, and you have the kdz file (full image, not just modem).
How to Flashing LG Optimus One back to Original Firmware
Turn off your cellphone
Press and hold Volume[+] + Power + Back buttons, until your Optimus boot in emergency mode
Connect LG Optimus One to PC (via USB)
tips: maybe it`s a little strange to do, but you can try to shake the phone if it can`t detect.
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
Select Type : 3GQCT
Select PhoneMode : DIAG
tips: if this option failed try EMERGENCY or CS_EMERGENCY
At KDZ Files section, select firmware that you already download
Click launch software update button
tips: someone say that it`s good idea to shake your optimus one with gently to avoid stuck.
Wait until it`s done, unplug the usb cable
Press and hold Volume[-] + HOME + Power buttons
See the firmware version, congratulation you did it.

Yes, I did so half a year ago, to update my LG Optimus P500H.
Unfortunately there was no update in Israel, and it's firmware was at one of our cellular providers (Pelephone), so I had to use this method to flash a different country's unlocked firmware (some european firmware, I forget which) with the same bands support in the modem, before flashing CM7.1 and TWRP.
It's just been a long time, that's why I didn't remember how to do it.

It should work with with all P500's, restrictions or no restrictions, it doesn't matter.
I will test on this Sunday. When my laptop comes to home. By the way if it works I promise I will give you 100 Rupiya as donation.
Steps:
1. Turn Off Any Virus Protection Software
2. Download MP26010j_00_0316.kdz To Flash Your Phone Back To Stock
3. Install LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0.exe
4. Next Install LGUP_Store_Frame_Ver_1_14_3.msi
5. Make Sure That You Have Your Phone Connected (Take Battery Out Then Put It Back In Hold Volume Up And Connect With Micro USB) So LGUP Can Be Able To Recognize It
6. Then Double Click UPPERCUT.exe to open up LGUP Now But Only Thing Is That Uppercut will try to verify just ignore and if it doesn't open up just open lgup from desktop and its going to view phone as unknown
7. Unplug Phone But Keep LG Download Mode On And Exit LGUP
8. Open LGUP First And Then Connect Phone Which Should Recognize Phone As MP260
9. Click Upgrade, Make Sure That Bin Is Checked And Select File MP26010j_00_0316.kdz To Flash And Click Start
10. Your Done! Video Coming Soon

If you lock the bootloader if you have custom recovery (twrp) and superuser you will not be able to boot

I figured I'd post this here to, because I am thinking about getting this phone. It's $99 at metro pcs right now, that's really hard to pass up.
In a twrp+root thread there are some that cannot get root, with the last LG firmware update, so I'm guessing this is a soft brick as apposed to a hard brick.
So, had a question.
If in the case of the like 10% of the people that do this root, the phone won't root or bricks, if I get this phone and and that happens, is it possible to flash the phone via the LG program, with a KDZ file and go back to stock like in this thread? If so I will probably buy this phone tomorrow (crosses fingers the kdz trick will work)
From looking at the videos, it looks as if the LG program is similar to the Samsung Odin program as far as flashing goes, am I correct in this?

I know this thread has not been active for a while. However I have a Metro LG K20 Plus phone and want to change the firmware to T-Mobile. I have not been successful doing this as I always get invalid firmware, because LG UP recognizes the phone as a metro phone. Is there a way to succeed in getting the T-Mobile firmware on the phone?
thanks in advance.

Did you find any answers to this? I have one that is bricked. It will not show up when connected to a computer at all
Virus warning from Avira in Uppercut
lg k20 plus soft bricked?
So I've searched high and low and have tried suggestion after suggestion with no avail. To start things off, I have a soft bricked LG k20 plus. Everything was working fine until the other day when I went to flash a kernel, and when the phone restarted, the screen was a dark grey/black color. I rooted the devices using massis method, removed SU and then rooted using Magisk. Like I said everything was working fine and for whatever reason I decided to try a different kernel. That's when it all went downhill. So now when I turn the phone on, the screen is still blank but it vibrates. When I've connected it to a computer, on my Mac it doesn't show up with ADB or FASTBOOT but in my device tree it comes up as LGE Android device. I borrowed my friends laptop since it runs windows, and my Mac is a dinosaur. ADB doesn't pick it up either, but in a USB hub it says the same thing, LGE Android device and lower down it comes up as TP-LINK. Now tryin to use LG Flash tools doesn't work, LGUP doesn't see my device, and when I tried to extract the KZD file, when I go to select it from the list there is no file to choose. Since I can't see anything on my screen, I can't tell if I'm in download mode, bootloader, etc, but in my device tree sometimes my phone will pop up an bootloader interface and I can use fastboot commands. When I was last able to see my screen, yes, USB debugging was on, I had a recovery, but since I can't see anything on my screen I can't seem to boot into recovery. If I could I would wipe cache and all. I think I may have read too many article and suggestions as to what to do because nothing seems to be working, and don't seem to find anything else related closely enough to my issue. Anyone have a clue as to where I should start? I'll have to give my friend back her laptop soon, and since my mac is so old, and the whole PC vs Mac feud, my computer won't be of much help. Any advice my hair strands would greatly appreciate before they rest are pulled out lol
