Its normal for the first few minutes, cause its decrypting the rom and making some preparations for flashing.
[LG Optimus G (International)] taylorheaps:
okay so i tried flashing a rom, and now the boot screen stays on, i can enter download mode and turn it off but when i try to go to recovery mode i can't. How can i enter recovery mode? the method you showed doesn't work since i cannot press home key. when i tried to go back to stock i put my phone in download mode and this came up:

I said to you yesterday to be careful, as I thought you where diving in too fast, and look what happened!! You should have done a little more research buddy!
[LG Optimus G (International)] BloodBaron:
reboot and make sure u have enough space on your hard drive if you are getting a extract error
[LG Optimus G (International)] taylorheaps:
okay i am sorry, but can i have a little assistance please..
[LG Optimus G (International)] markdexter:
Do you have another pc? If yes try download mode and restore your device on that...... If not, re download the rom, try running kdz as administrator, try does the computer recognized your device when you plug it in in download mode? Do you have the drivers installed on your pc?
[LG Optimus G (International)] taylorheaps:
i can try on a friends pc... and yes the pc makes a sound when it does, the drivers should be installed, i did the lg driver installer and it said they are already on it. is there anyway to get into recovery? i could easily fix it that way, is there a program that can install or flash roms from my pc from download that works for the e973?
[LG Optimus G (International)] markdexter:
Recovery mode = hold power button for 15 secs to power phone off.

Press volume up and home button together (Centre button) press power, let go of all buttons after first lg symbol shows up.

Did you install a custom recovery before this happened?
[LG Optimus G (International)] taylorheaps:
yes i installed clockwork. but you say home... it doesnt light up...?
[LG Optimus G (International)] markdexter:
Doesn't matter, keep trying it, if you had clockwork installed it should still be there.
[LG Optimus G (International)] taylorheaps:
doing that brings me to some sort of fast boot menu
[LG Optimus G (International)] markdexter:
On that fast boots screen press volume down twice then press power should bring you into cwm

KDZ file: navigate to the folder which you have saved the downloaded KDZ from the step (1)

EDIT : i don't see no KDZ file, its a Original LG Firmware.exe

I would like to mention what happened to me. I accidentally wiped my sdcard on my e971, which has no external sdcard. So I lost my backups and had no rom on it I could flash, all wiped, and stuck in bootloops. I was able to boot into fast mode by holding power + vol up. Then pressed Vol down, Vol down, Power to get into CWM. I already had my CWM updated to 6.0.2.3 and you will need to do this if you want to be able to make a proper nandroid backup that you can actually restore from. Once in CWM, ADB will work to communicate with the phone.

# adb shell

# mkdir /sdcard/AAA

# exit

# adb push /windows/users/MYROM.zip /sdcard/AAA

wait 5-10 mins for windows to move the rom to the phone

after that you can do the factory and cache wipes, format /system, and then flash your zip file.

All good now.

I am glad I got to wipe my sdcard, there was too many garbage folder trees when I tried to flash a new rom in CWM I had to navigate more :) Nice and clean now.

Really quick favor!!

Can someone please enter my information into the "Original LG Firmware" program in the first step and give me the link to the KDZ? I've been getting an (Unhandled Exception) error on both my computers and it doesn't output a link or anything, I can only continue (which does nothing) or quit. :/

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

*Also I just tried entering the IMEI without the last digit, and without the last zero, with and without the -dashes- , and got the same error as when I enter S/N.

Computer crashes

Hey guys, I was having some issues with the computer crashing with usbxhci errors, which sounded like driver errors so I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the usb drivers, (using asus gaming laptop with usb 3.0, windows 8 64 bit), was still blue screening when I entered download mode, what ended up working was using the download mode technique using the usb slot on my nintendo wii, unplugging it and plugging into my computer as it was in download mode. The problem I am having now, is its not wiping, adb wipe just enters recovery, so i'm wondering if theres a way i can wipe using total commander? I tried renaming the /data folder but its read-only, so i'm not sure what else to try.

Regards!

edit: I wasn't able to get into factory reset using volume down and power, but for some reason now it worked. looks good now, thanks.

edit #2 a million years later

Also found some seemingly more stable intel drivers for any Windows 8 users out there having this problem. Check out http://plugable.com/2012/12/01/windows-8-and-intel-usb-3-0-host-controllers

Phone does not boot.Please HELP!!!

Hello everyone,

I got LGOG E973 unlocked from canada 2 weeks ago. It was all working well with 3g data wifi and every single functionality working in the phone. One day the data connection stopped working.

To check if there was a problem with sim or phone, I changed the card.

Without switching it off, I changed the sim card and the phone rebooted with another sim's network.

The data connection worked properly in the phone.

So, I SWITCHED OFF the phone, CHANGED the sim card and ALAS, THE PHONE DID NOT BOOT.

I tried a lot to boot it up but there was not even a single trace of light on this giant screen. I put the phone in recovery mode by pressing VOL DWN+PWR and hard reset the phone, but still it did not boot up.

Then I searched a lot in the forums and tried every single method there to restore my phone, but, I am not able to boot my phone.

The current condition of the phone is:

-Does not boot up at all.

-Does not show anything on screen when put in charging mode

-Goes in download mode by pressing both the volume buttons and attaching the usb cable.

-Does not boot into recovery mode (if anyone knows how to do it, please let me know)

I am extremely helpless so if anyone has any idea what can be done to pump life into this phone, I shall be really grateful.

PLEASE HELP!!!

Just used this and all is good.

I used the http site with my phone imei and that download must have been corrupt as it came back with errors.

I then used the Original firmware app from xda and that download worked.

For information sake : I got into a pickle by unlocking my bootloader and then unrooting. I was attempting to get the official upgrade from Rogers. The phone turned off and would not restart.

Once the kdz upgrade program started mine counted up to 96, then the phone rebooted and all was good. Nothing else was needed. I am now on 4.1.2

[/COLOR]Yes it does. If you root your phone, you will have to run the Freegee script that corresponds to your version, afterwards.

---------- Post added at 04:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 AM ----------

Yes that is right. It will bring your phone to the version that you downloaded and you will be back to receiving OTA updates again, just as when you received your phone. In fact, if you flash it to a previous version than what is currently out, you can ask your phone to check for updates, and it will download and flash the new software.

Just make sure you have a backup of all your important files you want to keep, in case you have to do a factory reset after the flashing. Sometimes it takes this to get out of a dead boot. Check some of the earlier posts, if you need to know how or just PM me and I will be happy to help you.

LG software downloads CAB file

Like several other posters, when I do STEP #1, the Windows software to download the KDZ file (and the link as well) both download a cab file. Specifically, LS970ZVB_01.SVB_01.P25010.cab.

The KDZ_FW_UPD.exe app does not recognize the existence of the cab file. I tried renaming the cab to a kdz extension, and it tried to run but then gave me an extract error (attempting to create a cab, it seems).

Does anyone know of a way to create the kdz from the downloaded cab so I can initiate the process?

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

I figured this one out through some deep dive Googlin':

In the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN folder, run UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe. In the bottom-left, there's a utility to convert the cab to kdz.

Now, I need to figure out why I'm getting this error:
