lol that was unexpected. It's coz of I used LZMA method. Why don't you use 7zip :D

Anyway, I reuploaded it. Now its a SFX archive and btw it saved space.
[LG Optimus Black] rashad1:
Okay so I got caught in a bootloop earlier today, because I was messing with the framework apk. So I tried every method of reflashing the firmware. Even the LGMobile update recovery. The firmware seems to return to stock, juding by the boot animation, but I'm still getting the bootloops, with the pulsating buttons underneath. The phone seems to be completely bricked. It had CMW and the nova ROM on it before it went into bootlooping.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
do you have cwm ?
[LG Optimus Black] rashad1:
yeah...last time my phone worked
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
is there a way to wipe data with adb ?I had that issue with my gt540. I think the only ways to solve is to enter in recovery via adb or fasboot, but there is no fasboot mod yet for this phone
[LG Optimus Black] rashad1:
I can't get the phone to mount...
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
what's happening if you try to boot without the battery ? (main post trick)

well if that doesn't make things moving, I'm sorry but I can't really help. I'm exploded, going to bed :)
[LG Optimus Black] rashad1:
bootloops, looks like I have a paper weight :-/

It's actually too light to hold much paper
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
With method 1 in first post, try a higher version (v11B) from the list of firmwares. What you say happened to me once because was trying to flash a previous version of what I had.

" Tricks |

I discovered the folowing, now I use my phone as a desk lamp !!

- Remove battery, hold power buton, plug USB cable and wait until LG logo appears. Yeah ! The phone boots and you can use it with an infinite supply without killing battery's life !! But the phone seems to be in flight mod, otherwise it will shut down and display the battery missing message. "

i managed to make calls with this trick...next i'll try to see if it works directly from the charger
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
hmm mistake... airplane mod ! It's strange, when I turn the airplane mod off, after a while it shuts down.

Also, I think this tip is doable on any LG androphone. It works on my GT540 too, by holding the call key.
[LG Optimus Black] Ipy219:
oh no..i was not trying to say that you typed wrong " flight mode instead of airplane mode" :)) i was trying to say that i made calls with the phone without battery and the usb cable in the phone using the trick

i tried with the charger on and it didn't work..it booted and then it died :)

Stuck in bootloop

Hello,

i've installed a rom and now the phone is stuck in boot loop.

After the main Lg logo, the phone lauches the animated logo and in the middle of the animation it gets stuck.

In the video posted by backb0ne ( youtube.com/watch?v=VrQa8KKhkF4 ) you can see two telephones. Mine is making the same thing as the one on the left.

rashad1 has described to have the same problem.

I've tried recovery with lg's software, install other roms( 10a, 10b, 10c )... nothing.

Has anyone solved this?
[LG Optimus Black] erik501:
Recover Black screen of Lg Black

1.)Download launcher pro apk (it doesn't have to be launcher pro but this is the most accessible since you can get it without the market). Place it somewhere on your phones memory card. You need to remember WHERE and WHAT it is named.

2.)Have someone call your phone. It doesn't matter if you answer it or not, either way you'll have the dialer as your temporary "home" but it will give you access to the settings that you need.

3.) Swipe down and enable your internet connection (be it mobile or wifi).

4.) If you are on the dialer screen, press and hold the search button, this will bring up voice search. Search for anything as it will bring up the browser.

5.) Once you have the browser launched, type this into the address bar:

file:///[name of launcher pro].apk

Take note of the 3 slashes.

This will install launcher pro or allow you to change settings (enable unknown sources, etc) so you can install launcher pro.

6.) Anddddd done. You now have a working home app and now have full access to your phone again.

Hopefully this helps you
[LG Optimus Black] fjsw:
I think this method only work if you lost the launcher (like delete LG Home without install another one)

my OB also got into a bootloop, and in bootloop the phone isn't even start networking (both wifi & 3G), so calling the number doesn't work, and I checked wifi router, so I know the phone isn't connect to it either. after 2 days using KDZ and LG's recovery flashing more then 10 time, I giveup, I took it to LG service center, still waiting for it...
[LG Optimus Black] fmaf:
Stuck in bootloop

Thats what I'm afraid of...

If I send the phone to vodafone(Portugal) to fix it, they will send it to LG wich will probably not like the rom it has installed now...

fjsw, tell what happened when you get the phone back please ;)
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
also brick my phone, I've sent mine to support (but it was not LG but "w-support").

Got it back 2 weeks later.
[LG Optimus Black] rashad1:
The first time I got caught in a bootloop, I got my phone back in two weeks. Now I'm back in the US, I sent it to a friend in Europe, I hope they will fix it again. This is the 2nd time :-/
[LG Optimus Black] ixule:
recovery mode

Hy all,

First of all I want to thank all of you for sharing your knowledge with noobs like me :p.

Now I have a problem, My girlfriend lost her phone and managed to get it back but it is locked because the guy who found it tried too many security pattern attempts. I've tried to unlock it using the email option but it doesn't work.

Is there any way to get the phone into recovery and wipe the user data so she can use the phone again?

The phone is not rooted and she didn't installed any rom/boot manager/cwm applications.

I am sorry if I'm off-topic or if this has been discussed already, but I looked everywhere and I couldn't find anything.

Thanks,
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Bring the phone to service center with warranty card :p
[LG Optimus Black] ixule:
the phone was bought off ebay and I didn't got any documents at all. :mad:
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Try B2C Emergency recovery.
[LG Optimus Black] ixule:
Tried it a couple of times but it doesn't work. It flashes the firmware but it doesn't wipe the user data. :(

Any more ideas guys?

Thanks,
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
You can try this:

If you are sure that your desired stock firmware was flashed or recovered successfully, then:

Use posts #104, #105 and #106 of this thread.

The trick that worked for me was to get access to dialer in order to dial 3845#*970# and do a Factory reset from that hidden menu. Or use all nikpik's howto to install new launcher.

That saved my ass when I'd got LG Home launcher frozen with Titanium backup.

I hope it will help you too.
[LG Optimus Black] rashad1:
It's kinda hard to access the dialer when the phone doesn't boot up past the LG logo
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
lol.. well I think I'm probably lucky with flashing attempts. I tried several times, I always get the same error during process whatever the method I use, but, my phone has never been stuck or something else.

off-thing : guys if you wanna use the led as a torch, install Tiny Flashlight. It is actually the only one which is able to light up OB's led.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
The app Search Light also works and is really nice.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I mean, the only one I found :D there is no list of supported devices for this app... and I prefer tiny.
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
ixule had other problem... His (his girlfriend's) phone was "locked because the guy who found it tried too many security pattern attempts". That phone wasn't bootlooping or stuck at LG screen.
[LG Optimus Black] jay686:
oops.... rooted and installed CWM thanks to this great guide.

But after i was prompted to update my phone(LG update) i did so and the phone then rebooted into clockworkmod.Now stuck in clockworkmod bootloop!!!.

I did a backup after installing clockworkmod and tried going back to that but still stuck in the recovery bootloop.

I think this has gotta be some kind of record,only recieved the phone an hour ago.

Any suggestions appreciated:)
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
If you root, you don't update the phone just in case without reading!

Use method 1 by modaco (1st post) to flash firmware 11B (download it from the firmwares list at the top of first port) with LG software, then root again and flash custom ROM.

PS1: Which ROM is it? Noejn is about to upload the new NOVA 1.7.xx

PS2: Sorry for the thanks to your post. F****** small netbook touchpad.

:)
[LG Optimus Black] fjsw:
to fmaf:

I just receive my phone, could be a record (only 3days!), they didn't ask anything about it actually, they tell me it is a software problem, and they SAY they update and fix it, of course it is still V10A firmware.

I think you don't need to worry too much about the warranty, they will fix it anyway, but as a precaution I did use LG's recovery tool to flash it back to stock firmware before I took the phone to the service centre, and I ONLY tell the guy the phone couldn't start, I didn't mention anything else.
[LG Optimus Black] jay686:
Ok little update....

Tried reflashing v10c...KDZ tells me everything worked fine,update complete.

But now im stuck on a blue screen full of green writing with the four hot keys flashing on and off....
[LG Optimus Black] jay686:
Well ive tried re-flashing many times including using the official LG recovery.

Everytime it says its worked and the phone reboots and gets stuck on a blue screen with lots of green writing(looks like the boot info)

officially bricked me thinks.

Make yourself sure that the proper drivers are proper ( :eek: ) installed .....

Also, make sure the phone is properly :rolleyes: recognized...

Disable LG modem in Control panel -> System...

Maybe recovering with B2C (or just Factory Reset via hidden menu) and then flashing your desired firmware works for you..

Korean fw.

hi i got my OB from korea but im not in korea. my problem is that data sms in my country (philippines) is different from that of korea. in the korean FW i get to only send 90 chararaters per sms while the normal here is 160 characters per sms.

so can i install FW that available from other country with same data sms sending as in the philppines in my korean OB?

korean OB is ku5900. it has olleh brand in it.

also do i need to root and flash?

rooting is not needed for flashing. For the sms limitation, it is normally settable in sms settings (sms > settings > creation mod)

does anybody have a way to clear and redo..

[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
This has no sense... how can the battery be a problem ?
[LG Optimus Black] fjsw:
I think the problem is corrupted data partition, that's why it got into a bootloop even if you flash a new firmware, because the flash process does not wipe data partition, so it keep on loading corrupted data and got stuck.

unfortunely, OB don't have any key combinaton to boot into recovery, the only way to unbrick is goto LG service centre.

try this :

remove SDC and turn on. If it doesn't solve, do this :

On the unlock screen try to open camera by shaking in holding G key. If camera is successfully launched, press home and see what happens.

> try with and without SDC

If you can receive calls, you'll be able to compose while the connexion is etablished. It may be the way to access to the service menu so you could do a factory reset.

[Vibrant General] snowball34:
I have been trying to turn on my phone for several hours and it just won't turn on, the battery is full as well. I have tried many solutions such as

1. Download all the files required in the "SOFT BRICKS" section of this post.

2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).

3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you have already taken it out in the last step.

4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.

5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.

6. You should be in Download Mode.

7. Unplug phone from USB

This method wouldn't help, my phone is still off. I really need help :(. Thanks in advance.

Unless I'm mistaken, you may need to get the One-click from this link.

It looks like you grabbed the one for Rogers, so unless you're on a Rogers Captivate, this would be the one to use. All you should have to do (assuming you already have the drivers):

1. Put your phone in download mode (assuming you're on froyo, from a power-off state, hold vol up + vol down, then insert usb cable - remove cable once you're in download mode)

2. Unzip the zip file and start the "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe" file.

3. Connect your phone, and wait for a yellow "0:[COM#]" to appear in one of the windows.

4. Click start, sit back, and let it do its job.
