[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigabte284:
So, I found out there was a new Android update for the LG Optimus One (LG-P500) so I installed the LG Mobile Support tool, connected the USB cord to my PC and my Android Phone and started the software upgrade. During that time the phone screen was black and I left it that way, everything was working out, then, my 4 y/o accidentally unplugged the cord and the LG P500h went into Emergency mode immediately. Of course, I freaked out and took out the battery which I then later learned I shouldn't have. I tried to turn on the phone after reinserting the battery, but it woudn't work, so I let it charge for 1 hour, but still it refused to turn on. I searched online for hours and found a program called KDZ_FW_UPD which was supposed to repair your phone if you had the firmware for your country, i found and downloaded the firmware and set the

Type: 3GQCT and

Phone Mode: DIAG (I found the correct settings on an old forum post)

I inserted the kdz file (firmware) and started the software, this is my log from the KDZ UPDATER

12:08:42 : Launching SW update

12:08:42 : Unpacking KDZ

12:09:17 : KDZ file extraced

12:09:24 : Files were extracted.

12:09:24 : LGMobileDL Load.

12:09:24 : Port = -2

12:09:24 : Connecting to phone

12:09:24 : PHONE WAS NOT FOUND!

12:09:26 : ===FINISHED===

So, as you can see the program was unable to find my phone even though it was connected to the USB cord.

This is all that stands in my way of repairing my phone, I need the KDZ updater to recognise my phone.

I have the correct USB drivers installed from the official LG site.

Also, If I can get my phone into Emergency mode It will make this alot easier for me, I've tried Power+Vol up

+Return, no battery inserted+Vol up+Insert USB cord and Vol up+return.

How long do I have to hold those buttons to get into Emergency Mode?:crying:

None of these work, are there anymore combinations?

So, is my phone gone forever or is there the slightest chance left?

If there is a chance, what is it and how can I do it?

How can I get my LG Optimus One into Emergency Mode?

How can I get the KDZ Updater to recognise my device?

Please help me! Bricked LG Optimus One Help?
