You have to factory reset it, use R&D Test tool. And please, anyone having issues regarding anything, CM7, V20a, flashing, etc. post on dedicated threads instead making one. 'Cause this was solved earlier on those threads. Unless a new issue arises...

I am sorry that i dont know what R&D test tool is. I saw that the related thread have very few response that seems to have no help on that.
Moreover, I need to recover my phone ASAP since I just have this phone for my daily work.
Thanks

Yes, I did try this method but doesnt help at all.
after 100%, it has a reboot, showing LG logo; then reboot, showing LG logo once again.
then, since the third reboot, however, it turns to a black screen and flashing light of the 4 buttons; and have this loop forever and no LG logo again.
sorry for my poor english.
thanks

Try this one. It was also posted there. If you managed to unbrick it by his method, reflash again then with your V10b HK. Don't forget CS_EMERGENCY mode. or with CS_EMERGENCY, Try direct V10b flash. Trial and error.

The story so far...
Bought a new Optimus Black and gave it to my girlfriend for her birthday a couple of days ago. After playing with it for about an hour she put it down, I picked it up and decided to have a tinker. I installed Cyanogen mod 3.5.1 after rooting it with Gingerbreak. So far so good but I didn't really like the look of the ROM and the absence of a Market seemed like hassle so I used ClockworkMod to restore the backed up stock ROM.
It's still working fine but now I see there is an official update from inside the phone. I presume it's the upgrade to Android 2.3 so run it and reboot the phone. That's when it all goes wrong. I'm now stuck in the CWM recovery screen. I try all the options, following any online guides I can find that were supposed to have worked for people. I try restoring the backup, restoring cyanogen, clearing the cache, dalvik, everything but nothing happens and I keep booting back into the CWM recovery screen.
Next day I try the LGUnitedMobileDriver and the phone recovery option but despite trying several times I can get no further. A friend tried to use Odin to restore it but got no success. Finally, we tried restoring with a KDZ file with
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN, Windows Enabler and LG B2CTool and now the phone got stuck in yet another loop - a black screen with 'updating firmware'. The LEDs flash for a minute and it reboots and does the same again.
What's more, the phone will now no longer charge or turn on without being connected to the mains.
What are my options here?
Follow the tutorial given below.

have you tried the CS_EMERGENCY option in R&D TOOLS? Wait I'll find the link..

The CS_EMERGENCY is the only thing worked, he used a german V10A ROM. If you managed to unbrick it, you can flash it again with your desired KDZ, or use CS_EMERGENCY and flash directly your desired KDZ. TRIAL AND ERROR.
Emergency c-section... nope, I will try that now!
Said that it will get stuck at 4% but it is still flashing. Just wait for the phone to reboot by itself.
It just crashes with a fatal error as soon as it gets to the second tab (downloading) on both PCs I tried it on. I tried several KDZ files with the same result.
Does anyone know if it's possible to physically change the ROM on this phone and if it would be worth trying that before binning the thing?

Does it have warranty? Why not RMA it, I think it has a hardware problem now since you mentioned it doesn't charge anymore. Also, have you tried a different USB cable?
The warranty gets voided as soon as you root or mod a phone and it's probably as expensive to get it fixed outside of warranty as to buy a new one.

Most of the time they change the board right away if it can't boot (as many as I've read) board was changed and none just revived the OS. So they won't know you rooted it. Just specify that they should contact you first before making any changes.

true.. you can just tell them that you received an update and upon getting it the phone wont boot anymore.. just dont tell them that you rooted it or tinkered it in any way.. i'm sure you'll be able to get your warranty that way..

Hi All,
Sorry if this is a duplicate but everything I have seen at least has not helped me further.
I wanted to root my phone yesterday and everything (tutorial here with o4xr) the went well till it installed busy box where the computer froze and then shut itself down and so I tried to turn restart my phone normally. Now its stuck at the bit where the LG animation is and goes no further.
Here is what I have already tried:
Rerunning the o4xr/root method again
Hard Resetting (selected and running all options available)
LG Service App (windows) -> always fails on communicating with device... works up until that and I do see the SW Ugrade splash.
My version is the EURO Open v10h or something like that.
Please help me fix... This is the first phone I havent been able to root, any suggestions?

Nothing like a brick to freak you out with your brand new device, luckily you got it sorted

Not hard brick, but soft brick. There is a huge difference. Just for your info.
from where can I download .kdz file and the main site is telling
ACCESS DENIED
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGP880/AAREBK/V10b_00/V10B_00.kdz
is there any other links for the .KDZ file to be download from
thank you
Hey everyone.
I have the LG Thrill (P925) from AT&T. I'm used to changing roms and trying new things.
Well today I get a text from AT&T saying ICS is out, so I go and download the LG Mobile Support Tool
like the text says. The first few times don't work. I got stuck at the LG boot logo. (I didn't wipe the phone before.)
So I wait an hour to 1.5 hours. Still nothing. I try again and search the forums while I wait. Someone says to try using XP.
So I try in XP mode under Win 7. Everything is going well up until 90%. It does the whole driver disconnected sound as per normal
but then it happens. My phone starts up and shows the LG logo for 3/4ths of a second and then restarts (Black screen for 2 seconds) and
then repeats the whole process over again. What can I do?
(EDIT: Almost forgot: I was on CM7 when I tried to go to Official ICS)
All from the official LG tool...
SOLVED
After trying a few things I held the Volume up button and the power button to get it recognized by the computer. Then
I found a different copy of the LG Mobile support tool than what was on their site. I used the recovery phone option and it worked!
Hopefully this will help someone. I'll post where I got the tool soon.
Could you please give a link or tell me where you got the other lg mobile support tool. Because everything was going good for me and my phone restarted after it was done updating. But when it restarted it got hung up at the att animation and it just stays there... The way I got the official lg mobile support tool to recognize my phone was to put it into download mode also.
I got the KDZ_Flashing_Software.zip from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191698
Install the msxml from the zip then you can use the B2CAppSetup program.
Hope it helps.

Did these suggestions work for you? I'm in the same spot (frozen at&t logo). I've tried recovery phone several times to no avail. Trying one last time hoping for a miracle.
I was running a acidhazardrom gingerbread rom before attempting to update to latest official ICS. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I know it's something I did, probably the custom image I had running, but the LG Support Tool totally borked my phone. My Thrill would only stay on for a split second, and would continuously boot cycle when plugged into USB. The boot cycle was so fast that half the time it wouldn't even get to the LG logo!
Fixed it with fastboot (omap4boot) and SmartFlash Tool. What a nightmare. Only good thing is I was able to flash from BIN file directly to ICS.

Thanks for your help too. Obviously these issues stem from the fact that we used custom roms on the Thrill. It doesn't help that the LG Tools are complete software crap.

I've had glitches on occasion during install, but was always able to get back to recovery and re-install. Re-wiping is VERY important.
I think the important thing is that you were following a procedure, and because of that, you were able to identify where your error was and recover from it.

Hello everyone! I have the lg l90 d405n and I've done everything right to put TWPR(root, unlock bootloader etc.). When i tried to reboot into recovery mode with flashify my phone turned black and i couldn't open the phone. My pc detects QHSUB_BULK and i understand that something bad happened. I went to repair it and they changed the motherboad of the phone. The think is that i don't understand why this think happens after done everything detailed and right and i really want to flash the cm13 into my phone. Now my warranty is void and i don't want to destroy my phone again. Can everybody have an answer on this. Thanks by the way!

Flashify gives you 2 choices to flash. 1 is recovery other is aboot i think.. U cant choose that wrong or phone bricks.. If they changed the motherboard check if your phone is still a d405n as some PPL got the wrong motherboard..

Thanks for the answer! It's still a d405n. I done that 2 times. The first one the phone got bricked and I by myself unbricked it but the second one hard bricked my phone and the motherboard had to be changed. I do every single thing right and I look again and again If I have a mistake to correct it. I don't understand where I am wrong. Or maybe that portion cant flash the recovery?
