Great! Good instructions here it helped me unbrick my LG Op. G E975. I did format/system in CWM in prep for a flash, & realized I forgot to copy the correct ROM for flashing and stupidly did a reboot (first time falling into this trap)...:P And phone bricked...

Thanks for saving my phone.

[LG Optimus G (International)] -mattx-:
I got the same extract error on my first try. Don't try at all to rename the file in the KDZ generator, just use the default name it gives u. :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] dodododododo:
Still not working. GAH! I used the original file, ran in XP and Admin mode. I have no idea what to do:confused:
[LG Optimus G (International)] -mattx-:
If it helps, I'm on Win 7 64 bit. Could be to do with XP. This is what I can suggest:

1. For the KDZ generator, make sure you type in "E975" and your phone's IMEI in the two boxes, & the downloading takes helluva lot of time...

2. Also install ALL the drivers as per the instructions in the original post. Wasn't this that got me stuck for too long, later on I got stuck and needed to wipe and factory reset to finally get to the end.

3. I don't know how to hyperlink posts, but look at post #20 and there's a tip there. I did that as well

4. Lastly, if all else fails, try to borrow a friend's win 7 machine and see if it works.....

The pain of your phone being a brick is too agonizing... Good luck! :)

[LG Optimus G (International)] mitchpunk:
My "Security error bootloop. Certification error " came up after a software update. I didn't flash any custom ROM. I only remember trying to flash custom recovery via ROM manager but that was days ago and the phone worked normally without problems until this update.

I repeat, no custom kernels or Roms or any mods were flashed into it.

I'm a total noob when it comes to this phone. Hence why I didn't really flash anything to it.

I want to think that if the phone still boots even if it is on the "security error bootloop" I can still fix it

--- EDIT ----

I entered download mode.

I'll be proceding with this guide now. Hopefully it'll work.

Thanks a lot guys.

Guys, I've been trying to proceed with this but every single time the software updater will stop working just a minute after I click the "launch software update" option.

[LG Optimus G (International)] indymangoman:
Tried the method in the original post. I have a Canadian Telus E973. The kdz area was greyed out with no option to select the path to the kdz...

Anyways I tried using LG's mobile support tool from their website and it worked. Updated the software (reinstalled lg's bloatware) but hey, better than a bricked phone.
[LG Optimus G (International)] marfillaster:
You do not need to download the adb wiper. In fact, the bat file only contains command that reboots to recovery which it will not.

After the kdz upload, shutdown the phone by pressing the power for 15 seconds. Boot to factory reset by holding volume down and power. Note that this will wipe all sdcard data including your media files so be warned. After the wipe, the phone will automatically reboot to account setup.

Edit: This is an important step if your previous rom partitioned the sdcard under /0 (version 4.2/4.3) Basically, the stock rom is incompatible with the new sdcard partition layout.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Chocolina:
My ls970 has no os, but team win on it.

I cant download kdz through these tools in the guide (Cant someone just provide a download for it?)

And even after installing the drivers (Which BTW should be step 1, not step 2, considering its so critical) I still get USB not recongnized promps, unless I'm in DL mode.

Bought off eBay so I have no serial or whatever information to go off, and lg optimus g doesnt have a removable cover, so i cant do the thing all those other guides say about removing batteries on other phones.

I've had this phone for all of 50 minutes before I managed to brick it, it came pre-rooted, but somehow I unknowlingly deleted the system files....

Also I don't know if it's related... but before I could power the phone, and since I've "bricked" it, I've noticed this phone doesn't "turn off" ever....

No matter what I do, whatever I try to "turn it off" it ALWAYS goes back to a black screen with the backlight still on, this happened before brick and after... It jus doesnt stay off unplugged or plugged. It might explain why I got the phone with 0% battery life. I had to charge it for 30 minutes before I could use it with 2% battery life.
[LG Optimus G (International)] bikerboi85:
Hi. my phone (e975 taiwan) is having an issue thats a warranty problem so i followed this guide to put it completely back to stock

Everything worked fine except the bootloop after using kdz updater, as another person mentioned instead of running the wipe.bat just do a factory reset to wipe it. You can achieve this by turning the phone off and holding vol - and power button. it will ask if you want to do a factory reset and u press power button twice. After that it worked perfect and ill be sending my phone off for warranty (keeps randomly turning off and hard to turn back on)
[LG Optimus G (International)] bOkz:
I also got this error, i was so shocked that i rushed to the dealer where i bought the phone (Official LG Store) and asked them to help me out. Thank God they were able to restore it back.

Now the question is how to prevent this kind of errors. Maybe a little guide that will help future root(ers) to skip this horror will help. unsecure bootloader?
[LG Optimus G (International)] roscatel:
And that kdz LG suggest you is for your phone's IMEI (region) right? For example I'm from Romania and my phone camed with some HAMI preinstalled apps and stuffs (chinesse), so what they recommand doesn't satisfy me...

kinda off topic sorry, but there may be others which want to know how to chose the right kdz file for them..

It Works!!

This guide works. I have an Optimus G F180S from Korea. I bricked the ting trying to unlock the boot loader (By following another tutorial on XDA on how to unlock the LG bootloader) and it could get past the "Secure boot error....bla bla verification"

At this point, my computer couldn't even pick the presence on the connected phone, even after restarting it. In my opinion, it is key to disconnect the battery (look for DIY videos on YouTube). After I disconnected and reconnected the battery, the phone was picked, I updated the OS to stock Jelly Bean (it came with ICS) and the phone is now working as if it is new.......

....see that there is the bloody problem....

I can only use stock ROMs, not custom ones. The stock ROM has very useless software for me. I'm in Africa, I had the phone shipped from Hong Kong. Bloat ware in Korean is utterly useless here, but I just cant seem to be able to install a Custom ROM. I'd really appreciate assistance on this.

The point is, if the steps above do not work, try disconnecting the battery. It may seem risky but it really is A,B,C.

Happy Unbricking guys!!

Can i do again the firmware upgrade 10H and do the root again?

no my phone isn't network locked, i'll try to redo the update then factory reset, then i redo the root, now i'm waiting for full battery charge.

Difference between this 2 version i don't know because i haven't found a changelog, it seems 10H drain less battery..

Do you think Lg release some other firmware?

I followed the steps to a tee. Anyways started to boot up and suddenly got the boot loop of the two lg logos. Was wondering which route is better to get the phone back up an running. I tried for 3 hours using my hp laptop that has an amd processor. Installed all the lg drivers etc.... Tried the tiny bins way and that didn't work as the computer can't pick up my phone on any of the ports. Any idea what I should do?
