Hi, I happen to have the same phone and something similar happened to me but with a CM12.1 Moke rom, the phone was working fine but it turned off twice randomly, I connected it to the wallcharger and the PC but nothing happened, the 5 USB units appeared too on my computer so I had to keep the power button pressed for 10 seconds to force a reboot and the system loaded fine, though I went back to another CM12.1 rom. Try doing that, keep the power button pressed for 10 seconds and see if that forces a reboot.

Hi
I've tried to keep the power button pressed but nothing append.

hello , I also have the same problem . What did you do with your phone ? fix it? and how? help me please ..

- Download the DiskGenius
- connect the phone to a computer via USB (best to use the connector on the rear panel, and even better to use a laptop, there is the battery and if the lights go out, you are protected)
- in the Device Manager (Windows) will be Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9006 (COMx ) - if not, click the + and - volume, along with the power button, the appearance, let go first and then the power and volume buttons. If you do not appear, it means you have not installed drivers Qualcomm (in the cap is, install)
- run DiskGenius (be careful! You get access to all the connected drives, do not remove too much!))
- Delete partitions SBL1 (Right-click to select the recycle symbol ), confirm the removal (Yes) to apply your changes (the first icon in the menu, vaguely reminiscent of the character Commander floppy or Total).
- disconnected and reconnected body to USB, and lo and behold - found new hardware, Windows itself installs the necessary drivers. In Device Manager, we see Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COMx)
- sewn factory Lewa4.0 using QPST (full instructions in the topic, I will not be added)
- After the firmware disable the body for a long time (5-10-15 seconds) click on the button supply. We see native boot anim Hooray !!! (translated from 4pda.ru)

Hi,
Accidentally, I wiped all data of TCL m3g and somehow, I managed to bring the phone alive. But it seems like qcn file is totally corrupted and phone networks are no more identified. IMEI, ESN & MEID are all zeroes now.
Can any body provide .qcn file of TCL m3g?
Thanks

[HOWTO] Phone not responding at all - last chance to repair

Hi, because with last update increased count of people with bricket phone, I just tryed search for way how to repair this phone. It seems, that last possible way how to save your phone is emergency mode.
I would like to notify you, that I didn't tested it (I'm had not luck enough to brick my phone yet ). I just searched and tried write this for help to others.
So, let's go on.
1) If it's not possible connect to phone via ADB (in Adroid SDK/tools run "adb shell") at all you will try next steps. If it will work, you can use another, verified tools like custom recovery or KDZ_FW_UPD (search on forum for more) [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P500, )
2) If you fail in previous step, you can try enter into emergency mode manually and try to flash ROM with KDZ_FW_UPD:
Download KDZ updater and uncompress it
http://www.4shared.com/file/UleS4dP3/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.html
Install msxml.msi from the uncompressed directory
Charge your battery to almost full state (I'm not sure, but it can be reason if phone doesn't start)
Turn phone off somehow (remove battery etc.)
Install drivers properly
Get rid of all usb drivers like Nokia, microsoft visual ++ run time environments
Install the LG drivers by selecting the update manager from the lg site
Disable LGE Virtual Modem. In your Windows operating system, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and click Disable.
Press and keep pressed "Volume up"+"Return" and connect USB cable to phone
Yellow screen with text emergency mode should appeared
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe (Has administrator).
Select Type : 3GQCT (I have one report that CDMA mod works too)
Select PhoneMode : DIAG (in case of fail try EMERGENCY, and as last chance use CS_EMERGENCY)
I Recommend do not switch phone off. There was some people, which done it and after they were not be able to turn it on again. If flashing failed, just select some another mode and try it again, again, try shake/connect disconnect, again, again....
In KDZ file : Choose the ROM file you downloaded in the first step
Press Launch software update
Shake the handset (I know, it sounds ... strange, but it helps for ones, so... why don't try it?) UPDATE: Read some quotes on bottom.
Make sure that all update was done successfully. Phone should restart itself automatically
Disconnect the USB cable from the phone
Press the three button combo for HW reset of device i.e volume up + home + power button
List to do based on Zecanilis's [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P500
3) Still no success? Wait for more "What I can do" or just go to LG and let repair on them.

Please let me know if it works. I just searched for way and I haven't possibility to test this steps for now. I will do update if it will be necessary, same as I will try describe more about software which I founded.
Some experiences from thread(s):
AVanover5: ...It works if you set the mode to CDMA and DIAG. Just to let people know. Not sure if it'd work without the recovery screen or not. I never tried it ironically, haha. Thank you guys.
geejay2: ...Bricking seems to be easily achieved by forgetting to disable the LG Modem driver. Apparently the modem driver interferes during flashing. Also I noted that kdz is not stable under Win2k, I switched to WinXP to flash successfully. I saw several aborted flashing attempts in WinXP with modem driver enabled.
domenic_s:KDZ_FW_UPD doesn't work (Application cannot start) -.- Using Windows 7 64bit version. //edit: allright tried another pc (win xp 32bit) and yeah - it worked... I'm so happy.

About shaking (sorry, but I still can't believe... )
salte_eskil:wow! shaking the phone really worked! seems kind of stupid but thanks to you all at the xda forum for tips and tricks
4wd vege: Now unbricked. Strangely kdz updater only saw my phone after shaking!!!
me2kimi:It sound crazy to shake the phone while at emergency mode. I's crazy but it magic. ...So what I do is connect to usb, Launch software update at kdz while shaking the phone. Then after that kdz is working like normal.

I tried with all possible combination.. with and without battery.. vol- home, vol + return, power vol+ home.. end more.. but phone don't turn on...
In meantimes the phone is in the service LG.. hope...
Exscuse me for my English
Did you had phone off before trying this? And also battery should be charged. I just added this things...
If event that it not show you emergency mode, LG service and warranty is probably the only way how to proceed. Sorry. But I will be searching if another way will exist...
Good work .. I hope that you will find a way to solve ... especially for other users .. good luck
Good work @The_ERROR.
It should work. I think you should also add that the phone mode should be set to Emergency (and not DIAG as mentioned) in the kdz updater.
Moved to development and stickied it for a while!
Thank you!
Cheers

Good to know - do you know differences between CS_EMERGENCY and EMERGENCY?

Hello,
Had anyone tried "Recovery Phone" from the LGMobile Update app? It's under the "Customer Support" menu. Enter IMEI or S/N and see if it can bring it up to life.
Cheers.

Not really. Gathered some info though. We use emergency mode when the phone boots into only emergency mode else we try CS emergency as last option.
In any case this method will work only if the kdz updater recognises the phone.

I was able to do the KDZ, actually thats the only way possible. Please add this to the list:
1. Get rid of all usb drivers like Nokia, microsoft visual ++ run time environments.
2. Install the LG drivers by selecting the update manager from the lg site.
3. Disable the modem driver.
4. Once done, reboot the handset and when it has come to emergency mode connect it via USB.
5. Its going to detect it as usb drive. Launch KDZ. No need to go into Emergency mode.
6. shake the handset - IT DID WORKED FOR ME.
My suggestion don't give up. It took me around 14 hours to bring the handset back to original firmware and here I am today trying to boot the rom once again.
7. UPDATE AND ENJOY.

Thanks, I will do!! Only about 4 and five.
First reboot the handset and when it has come to emergency mode connect it via USB
and then
It's going to detect it as usb drive. Launch KDZ. No need to go into Emergency mode.
So, whats about if phone didn't go into emrgency itself (for example stuck on Android logo)?

I am talking about phone getting into Emergency mode, KDZ doesn't need to switch to CS_EMERGENCY or EMERGENCY Switch off the phone first, then you are either connect it to USB cable or you can remove it from the USB cable. Key combination to bring the phone only in emergency mode are:
1. Connected to USB cable, only thing visible is the LG logo, this is because its getting charged. Press VOL UP + BACK BUTTON
2. Not connected to USB cable and is not charging and so switched off: Press VOL UP + BACK BUTTON + POWER BUTTON
In both the cases phone will switch to a yellow screen showing: "Emergency mode!!" and will remain like that.
It's only in Emergency mode that the handset will be detected like a USB drive and can be KDZed.
I seriously doubt the "Shake your phone part". It just sounds so ...
Peace

OK, I edited it. But I kept possibilities of EMERGENCY and CS_EMERGENCY modes if standard way failed. About switch into emergency, I think that it does not matter which way for emergency is used.

Have you tried with fastboot mode? I recently bricked my lg p350 and recovery mode wasn‘t working but i was able to restore everything.
Sent from my LG-P350 using XDA App
I'm noob with that LG can you please tell me how to try that fastboot?
You need first to go in fastboot mode: from phone off you press button to start call + vol up + power button. After a bit should start the phone in fastboot mode and you need to install android sdk to be able to use adb. You should search on internet for more detailed informations.

AFAIK unless you have an hardware problem if you mess up with recovery you should switch off the phone (To unsure that take off the battery and put it back) and keep pressed VOL UP+CALL and POWER until you see fastboot mode appear with few messages:
Fastboot mode started
udc_start()
It should work. At least it worked for me.
Cheers,

Can someone help me with this bricked phone?

A while ago I made a post about how I hardbricked my Wiko Lenny, and I finally decided to try the testpoint method. The problem is that I have absolutely no idea as to where that testpoint is on the PCB.
Can someone guide me? I attached some pictures with the PCB.
Okay, I found the testpoint. It's noted as KCOL0, and it's under the PCB, near the volume up button. I connected GND with KCOL0, but the phone is rapidly switching on and off. I can't flash it in this state.
After a few minutes of constant switching on and off, the phone decided to calm down and let the PC detect it.
In Device Manager it appears as "USB Serial Device (COM6)", and SP Flash Tools v5 detects it easily. But it can't flash it. It always spits out this: "S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL" and stops.
Any ideas?
Come on, guys... Someone here must have at least a bit of experience with Mediatek phones...
Please tell me your status for now, also tell me how you got into this ??
I mean how you made a brick??
My phone has the habit of simply going into a bootloop once every few months. I always repair it by reflashing the ROM in SP Flash Tool, but last time I used a tool supplied by Wiko. Apparently the tool reflashed the entire phone instead of the Android partition, and managed to corrupt the preloader. As a result, the phone didn't turn on, vibrate, or even get recognized by the PC.
A while ago I made a post about this, but nobody wanted to help me. I researched the internet and found out that the phone can be repaired by META mode, by JTAG or by testpoint. META mode isn't available on MT6572 devices, so that didn't work. JTAG seems too complicated for me, so the last option was shortcircuiting the KCOL0 testpoint.
I opened up the phone's back, took the PCB out and soldered a copper wire that connected the groundpoint(GND) with the testpoint(KCOL0). After connecting it to the computer, the phone started turning off and on rapidly for around 10 minutes, then decided to stop, letting it be recognized by the PC. It appeared as "USB Serial Device", but it should be called "Mediatek MTK PRELOADER" or something similar. I thought it was the PC, so I continued.
Started SPFT, loaded a scatter that I backed up from the last flash, then clicked Download. After 30 seconds it stops and writes this: "BROM ERROR: S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032)". Tried resoldering and reflashing, but same result.
Any ideas?

Error 4032
Message: BROM ERROR : S_FT_ENABLE_DRAM_FAIL (4032) [EMI] Enable DRAM fail
Meaning: The firmware you're trying to flash is either not compatible with your device or you have selected the wrong flashing settings
Solution:
* Ensure that the file(s) you're trying to flash are actually for your exact phone model
* Ensure you tick the boxes for only the files present in the ROM you're about to flash
* Probably have the wrong driver installed. Uninstall vcom, preloader and MTK drivers using usb deview then manually re-install using forum.hovatek.com/thread-440.html
* Delete the sp flash tool folder then re-extract
* Ensure the phone is switched off (with battery still inside) before connecting to PC for flashing.
* If that doesn't work, keep holding down the volume decrease button just before connecting the phone to PC for flashing (you could try volume increase , power + volume decrease or power + volume increase).
* Consider using the latest version of Sp Flash tool
* Format the phone before trying to flash the file(s) again

Sorry for my English.
I have one with the same "dead".
Make short between Kcolo point and GND.
Be sure battery is full.
Use V20 firmware.
Select firmware up-grade from Smart Phone Flash Tools.
Connect phone to PC with Volume + push
Don't forget to remove the jumper after flash

I still didn't manage to repair it, as I may have made a mistake while soldering and shortcircuited the phone.
I may try again, though.
I have the same issue but my Wiko Lenny 3 is dead for a while (like 2-4 years). Until this time, I was trying to repair my device, but no luck occurred. But I can't find the KCOLO point, as I should. It is either on the main board / motherboard (I don't know how to call it) or under it. I'm of a smartphone repair noob...
I hope that I can finally manage to repair this device because I don't know what I should do with this device.
And added the image to see if you guys can find the KCOLO / KOLO / COLO point...

LG P715 security error

Hello,
I have a LG P715, and it is stuck on security error. When i try to switch it on, it displays lg logo for 10 seconds and then the screen flips and i see security error with lg logo.
I tried googling it, i found out i have to use lg mobile support tool. To use it, I need to put my phone in emergency mode, which i cannot do.. All tutorials say to plug in usb while pressing Vol - key, which when i do, leads me to a screen with a blue battery icon with a lightning bolt icon in it.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hello Azim! Are still having troubles with your LG P715? Well! I have done the following:
1 - Downloaded a CIS V10j rom to this model P715
2 - I copied/pasted the 3 adb drivers (Adb, AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi) that I found on Android Multi Tools V1.02b folder (found to download) to the folder C:windows/system32 (My o.s. is Windows 7 x86. if yours is windows 7 x64, you must copy/paste them to C:windows/sysWOW too).
3 - Opened the LG mobile support tool and I chose to install the drivers to the LG P716
4 - Renamed the fold C:LGP716 to LGp715
5 - I ran the "windows enabler" (KDZ FOLDER) as admin and then, I switched it on at the "TRAY" close to the clock. Maybe this has not made any diference. I just have done it. you'll find it searching for kdz update with windows enabler.
6 - Then, I plugged the phone to the pc (while LG mobile support tool was still open) through usb holding vol- and it worked. (LGE AndroidNet Usb Serial Port s been recognized)
7 - So, I closed the LG mobile support tool and I ran the KDZ as Administrador and in compatibility mode to Windows xp sp3 ( right click on kdz icon and check the boxes due to these options at the window COMPATIBILITY).Good luck ! Sorry for my bad English. hug

Almost forgot that the mobile got stuck at LG start windows and I performed a reset and it worked
Flash this boot.img on boot partition first via TWRP 3, then flash any rom (stock rom recommended first).^
[If you don't have recovery then flash modded kdz by maxx_hr.]
OR
Check that it is boot.img and not boot.img.zip or boot.zip.
What rom are you going to use?
Tel me if this helps and click the thanks button.
But to FLASH, he will need to set it on Emergency or Download mode first. Maybe this will fix his trouble it the future, if he ll needs to make the procedure again. ^_^

Maybe he hard bricked his Phone in the past? If he can use adb, then he can restore the emergency partition so he can access emergency mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/general/unbrick-lg-l7-ii-single-dual-t3166282 see section 6.2 and then come to kdz flashing - http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l3-l5-l7-l9-ii/development/kk-kk-kdz-p710-root-t2950532 use kdz for p715 from 1st post itself, then reply here.
