LG P500 Bricked

I tried to upgrade my firmware from 2.2 to 2.3 and followed the steps as per many web sites to the letter, my phone went into “Emergency mode” for around a minute and then it gave me an error message and said finished inside the KDZ app.

Then nothing! My phone is off, don’t display anything! I cant switch it on and it wont even show an error message on the screen. The lights on the buttons wont even go on, nothing! I tried some hard reset (home, volume and power but nothing!) I dont think its hardware related as this happened while trying to do an Firmware update. Also the battery was around 70% charged. Please if anyone can help me unbrick my phone, I will be very grateful.

To people trying to get their firmware from 2.2 to 2.3… take my advice, its not worth the risk.

Here’s the first and last part of my error log if anyone care to try and help me.

Thanks.
