Hack My Android
LG Optimus L3, a relatively new Android phone in the market is facing some issues as I can see in the CWM installation tutorial I wrote a while back. The issue which people faced was that their LG Optimus L3 reboots into recovery and does not boot into system normally. Perhaps, this was due to incorrect compilation of the recovery by the developer. As promised, I am posting a tutorial to unbrick LG Optimus L3 here at Hack My Android. Hopefully, this will get you your phone back working as usual. In case you face any issues, let me know in the comments below.
An Alternate to KDZ Method
Quite a lot of you have commented that you are stuck in CWM. So before you try the KDZ method which seems to be difficult, our reader Boris Blagojevic has an alternate method for you. Download the stock ROM zip file and flash it via CWM (since you have access to it) and reboot your phone. It will boot normally. You can now connect your phone to PC and run the LG PC suite to update your firmware and you should be good to go with the stock unrooted ROM.
I have tried the same method on LG Optimus Me P350 and the same can be applied to LG Optimus L3. All LG phones can be flashed to the stock firmware using a KDZ updater.
Before you Begin
Sit and relax. I will get you your phone back, but promise me that you will follow all the steps properly and comment below if you face any issues. You don’t believe me? Read the 250+ comments at my unbricking & rooting tutorial for LG P350. No bragging, it’s a matter of trust. However, some mistakes can not be rectified and I will let you know if you have committed such mistake. Now, identify the problem you are facing. Some issues, can be solved easily and do not require you to flash the stock firmware. For instance, if you are stuck on the boot animation it does not mean your phone is bricked. You can wipe cache and boot into system again. If you find no method to boot into the system, follow this tutorial. However, I always advise you to comment and ask before you do this because this method is a little risky but you’ll end up with a working phone if you follow all steps properly.
A video of this tutorial is available at BlogoTech.
Flash Stock Firmware on LG Optimus L3
- Download LG Optimus L3 USB Driver from here.
- Download official LG Optimus L3 stock firmware from this page. The file would be a .kdz file. Download the appropriate firmware according to your network provider and country.
- Download KDZ updater and install it on your computer.
- The zip file has a Microsoft XML parser, make sure you run it and restart your PC. This will solve the wparam 100 and lparam 6 issue mentioned in a comment below.
- The next step is to put your phone into emergency mode. To do this, remove the battery of your phone and re-insert it (don’t turn it on). Press and hold Volume Up button and Volume Down button. While you are pressing the two buttons, press the Power button. So now, you must be pressing all three buttons together.
- Your phone will boot into emergency mode and you should see a yellow screen with Emergency mode written on it.
- Pick up the USB Cable and connect your phone to the computer via the USB Cable.
- Run KDZ updater as Administrator.
- Choose the following options in KDZ Updater: Type: 3GQCT Phone Mode: DIAG and KDZ file is the one you downloaded in step 3. Click on the image below for a better view.
- Re-check with the image above and ensure that you have the appropriate settings on the KDZ updater.
- Take a deep breath and click on “Launch Software Update” button.
- This process is usually long. It take quite a long time for the firmware to be flashed on your phone.
- If everything goes well, you will see “Finished” written in the log screen and your phone will change to switched off mode from Emergency mode.
- The next time you turn it on, your phone will take a lot of time to reboot. This is normal!
So there you get a working LG Optimus L3 phone. Go ahead and hack it because you can always unbrick it using this tutorial.
Update
So we found that quite a lot of them are complaining that their LG Optimus L3 is booting back into recovery mode even after trying this tutorial. I thank Mohammed Yaser for his comment below who has found a solution to this on XDA-forums. If you face this issue, follow the steps given below:
- You will be using ADB and fastboot commands in this. So if you are not familiar with it, head over to this tutorial.
- Download recovery.img and place it in the folder where you have the ADB files. I have named the folder as C:Android in the aforementioned tutorial.
- Open Command Prompt and type “cd C:Android” or the path to the folder. Alternatively, you can open the folder that has the ADB files and Shift+Right Click to select “Open Command Window here”.
- Make sure your phone is in CWM (it has to be) and connect it to PC via USB Cable.
- Type the command “adb reboot bootloader”. Your phone will now be in bootloader mode.
- Now type “fastboot flash recovery recovery.img” (Without quotes please).
- You should see some file transfer being done. If you see something else, post it in the comment below.
- Now type “fastboot reboot”.
A comment from Kiryuchamo below might be helpful to you in case you face some problems:
i read about this post after searching lots of forums in the internet.
we had the same problem. i followed the tutorial and then i got an error and then the kdz updater crashes.. then the phone reboots and goes into an endless bootlop..
what i did is i pressed the vol.down+home key+power button (hard reset). i know u’ve probably did this but the phone will just vibrate and the LG logo will appear then it will automatically shutdown.. thats why all who experienced this cant enter into recovery mode. only emergency mode is working.
but the trick for you to be able to do a hard reset using the 3 buttons goes like this:
push the three buttons and when u felt the phone vibrates(its just only half a second, i guess) release the buttons right before the LG logo appears.. it will take you to an android unpacking a box screen.. wait for it to finish and your phine will reboot and will now work fine with stock rom.
this guide is for those who got the same error during updating with kdz. i hope it really helps.
i just got my brother’s L3 back after bricking it. and also thanks to the author of this tutorial. i salute you. goodluck guys on unbricking your phones
Thank you, thank you, than you man!!!, You've been a real life saver!!!
Hi, and thank you for all tutorials, great job! If you let me ask: can you make a tutorial for lg l3 e400 how can I moov all aplications from system memory(157MB) in internal memory(1GB), specificly for this device! Thank you again.
You can use apps2sd application for that. However some applications can be installed only on system memory, for example: Facebook. You can not move them to external memory. If you wish to do that, you need to flash a custom ROM to it!
Thanks for reply. Yes, I know that, I use Link2SD this is much more efficient (for me),
but I want to install applications directly on internal memory (if is possible). I have read tutorials about this, but to me it does not work (…to make ext4 partition on SD…) I have installed cyanogenmod9 nightly20120916 android 4.0.4 v10k.
Works well, but I can't install flashplayer. If you have any idea about this. Thanks.
It didn't work for me too, hence I did not recommend that. Flash player has to be included by the developer. You can not install it as such!
Thank you!
Hi!! Can we use the same methods for software update too???
No. For software update, you must use the LG update tool!
sir i really need help,. i installed CM9 ICS rom but seems kinda incompatible,. i tried to flash my phone but then the kdz but now cant found my phone and i dont know why,. can you help me out finding a way to put it back sir, i really need your help as soon as possible, thanks
btw i have my driver installed sucessfully,.
Check device management in Windows. You may need to update those drivers!
nice job. my bricked back to speak again. thanks.
Didn't worked. Now my LG is locked into emergency mode. Ouch…
Does your computer recognize your phone? Right click on My Computer>manage>Device manager and check if you have the necessary drivers installed! The "Ports" sections should show LGE Android Platform".
What a quick reply! Thank you.
Yes, the drivers were installed and succefully recognised.
It appears as LGE Android Net, not platform.
The KDZ Updater crashed several times, never ended right 'til now. And the telephone is blocked, as I said.
If you can help…thank you, if not, oh well, thank you the same for your time!
Is your phone locked to any network? Which firmware are you trying to flash?
it's locked but i found the according firmware on the link you posted
Disable the LG modem and try the tutorial again from the first step. Refer the image for disabling the modem.
Sorry for my late. I've never used my phone as a modem and otherwise the system didn't seem to ecognise it that way. I have to take the phone to a shop 'cause is blocked on the emergency mode and I found no way to restore it. Thamk you for your help and your time. I'll retry doin' this the way you told me. Greetings from Italy.
Hi , I just flash my phone with your tuto but now my phone rest at the boot screen LG.

Run Microsoft XML parser that comes along with KDZ updater (the msxml file)
its wparam 100 and lparam 6
Did you run KDZ updater as Administrator? Also, is your phone recognized by the software? It usually takes a long time. A screenshot will be preferable.
Make sure you run the Microsoft XML parser which comes along with KDZ updater!
thanks dude, I was so worried because my optimus was so fucked bricked DX.I followed all the steps but it continued bricking, so the last hing I did after doing all the steps, was pressing volume down+menu+power and with that the phone fixed. thank you
I have a very big and very serious problem after I had installed Cyanogen Mod 9 ICS oficiall after every instalation and uninstallation I had wiped mani times cash memory under this ROM and last night I have this very serious and extremely urgent problem wich I canot resolve myself and that is my cellphone LG Optimus L3 E400 is started to behave no matter that is battery 100% recharged it started after I turn it off and turn it on it started to behave like battery is empty.What is it about can you help me please it is extremely urgent.

Please help me!!! my phone can't turn on&recovery after installing cm9
Hello
Please help I'm getting this: Upgrade Error Wparam:100 Lparam: 500
The KDZ updater comes with a msxml file, did you run it as administrator? Also did you run KDZ updater as administrator??
I'm trying to flash my phone LG P-350 with KDZ but it hangs half way through and eventually pops up a box with "upgrade error WParam: 100 LParam: 500.
Phone is "bricked" but I can get it into emergency mode, If I try to start the phone it just freezes on the LG screen.
Anyone know why i'm getting this error and how I can fix it? It's driving me crazy.
The KDZ updater comes with a msxml file, did you run it as administrator? Also did you run KDZ updater as administrator?
Hi Thanks fix worked for me.
follewed your instructions but after unbricking stuck on lg logo our keeps restarting to cmw
stock on lg logo
upgrade error
wparam:100
lparam:6
can i be that i fuck up internal stoge beceuse i whas trying to increase using cwm can u help me otherwise i have to buy a ney phone
Did you run the msxml file that came with the KDZ updater? Did you run it as an administrator?
yes i did
i reflasht it and its keeps rebooting to cwm
ignore that message when done just put your phone to recovery by push home -vol+power button when vibrate released power and volume button, just hold on the home till u see an lg logo, wait for it to load cause it will takes time to reboot. hope i help you.
i think i know what my problem is i cant instal msxml file as admistrator beceuse i have windows 7 64 bit ultimate do i need to do this on a 32 bit system?
Nope, I have done the same on Windows 64 bit so that shouldn't be an issue. What error do you see when you try to install the Microsoft XML file? Did your computer reboot after that?
no error when instaling microsft xml file i just can't give it administrator rights that option is grey't out after instaling it i reboot the pc run kdz updater as adminstrator but keeps get error code 100 and 6
yes i did a reboot
i dindt get any error
but i cant click on run this as a admistrator its grey out and cant be pressed
my problem is a bootloop i know i can fix using originall recovey in cmd but it says waiting for device
Are you able to boot it into emergency mode? Remove battery and boot into emergency. There should be no bootloops in emergency mode!
yes i can go into emergency mode can i reinstal original recovery using cmd from emergency mode
You need to unbrick it first using this tutorial and then install recovery!
i know but the problem is that boot loop and i cant unbrick becouse i get wparam 100 wparam 6
even when i run kdz updater as admin and i have mxhm intall't as admin and reboot after but stil get those errors
Well,I have never seen bootloops in emergency mode. I'm sorry, I'm unable to identify what went wrong on your side but the tutorial for sure works as you can see in the other comments!
i know i dp this for other people its strange du u know if i still have waranty on it
If rooted, I don't think you will be able to claim it. But since your phone can not be booted into the system, it is impossible for the LG officials to detect if it was rooted or not and they will try to flash the KDZ to the phone or somehow unbrick the phone by flashing the stock firmware. After they do this, the phone will be in an unrooted state. If this happens, you can make use of the warranty!
is it normal that it displays MOD UptesFX Application stopped working?
Can you please attach a screenshot of it?
I’m getting this error when I Launch the updater
“MOD UpTestEX MFC Application has stopped working”

hi im vassili from the philippines… i bricked my LG E405 (its the same lg e400 but dual sim) just hours ago and googled around for the solution. i stumbled on this tutorial and followed all the instructions.
for me to share this. here is the link for the LG e405 firmware:
http://www.support.gsm4gulf.com/index.php?dir=fir…
I renamed the file to LGE405v10d.kdz to make it short.
here's what i did:
1.Press volume + / – button together plus the power button to put the phone to emergency mode
2.plug usb cable to pc and then to phone
3.follow the tutorial above.
4. i encountered some errors at first and also see the "wparam etc…" showing up on the log repeatedly. but after several minutes the phone restarted itself and booted successfully!!
Root users:
you may have to re-Root the phone again.
hope this helps guys
Thanks for your suggestion and feedback!
hi does the CMW / Cyanogen MOd9 also work on LG l3 dual?
Hopefully, yes it should!
how will i reroot my phone again?
Root using this tutorial http://www.hackmyandroid.com/root-lg-optimus-l3-e…
No you can’t reroot it using Spectrum others tested an confirmed.And every try is usless with thouse methods from above.I couldn’t.The only and the last way is using SuperOneClick v7.Trust me.So don’t be suprised if all others methods and rooting scripts and programs disapointing you.The only rooting program for guarantied sucsefuly complete root procedure is”SuperOneClick v7″.Good Luck everyone with Root Procedure.Have nice and Happy Root Procedure’s my brothers and sisters.
My dear friend! you save my life! THANKS for all!!!!!!!!
yor'e the best savior! xD

I'm glad my tutorial helped you
hi. im using this method following your instructions precisely but i kept getting this message
"Model Dll Msg Not Found"
"CDMA wParam = 205, IParam" the numbers after that kept counting well past 100
finally it says "CDMA wParam 11 IParam 0" & it says phone reset..
then it says "CDMA wParam 12 IParam 0"
and it says update finished
then says "resetstartinginfo", detachDll call, detachDll callend, freelibrary call, freelibrary callend.
then "resetstartinginfo" then OnModelDllMsg(OnMsgFromModelDll-CDMA) delete m_pLGCyo.. cant read the rest,, then the KDZ Updater crashes, & my phone stays on the LG logo screen..
please help..
btw,, when it does work exactly how long does it take to boot properly? 5 minutes? 20 minutes?? an hour?
after 2 hours on LG logo screen the phone still wont boot past the logo..
it had been rooted using your method
please help
Re-insert the battery and press Home button + Volume Down + Power button to hard reset your phone. After that the phone should reboot properly!
nope, didnt work.. now its back to booting to clockwork mod..
how this all happened is this..
i used your root procedure,,
everything was great,
then i stupidly done a system update not thinking,, lol..
then it just keeps booting to clockwork,,
no matter what i do i cant get it to boot properly..
tried the solution above but the KDZ updater freezes before it completes..
anything else you can think of?
i think i should also mention im doing this with the australia standard rom downloaded from the site you linked to.. if that makes any difference
i think i no longer have a rom installed, wouldnt have a clue what to do to fix that
& in the post above the last, i meant the australian firmware not rom.. my bad
I seriously don't get you. Since we are restricted here, I request you to head over to this thread http://forum.hackmyandroid.com/f20/lg-optimus-l3-… and have a discussion. If you wish, I can create an account for you so that you can post images and everything else on the forum.
ive created account.. just waiting account activation before i can post to discuss the problem.. sorry if im not making much sense
Your account has been activated!
please give me an update if you make it work.
If you are in Australia, it should work fine. I did not link to any other site but to a different page on this site only.
i have created an account on the forum to discuss my problem
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGE400…
thats the link i referred to,
which is not a page on this site..
awaiting account activation on the forum to post the complete story of what exactly's happening with my phone..
we have the same problem
That is an issue with your OS on the PC. I can assist you better with it on the forum.
maybe you're right because after the word finished,the updater always become error.
i read about this post after searching lots of forums in the internet.
we had the same problem. i followed the tutorial and then i got an error and then the kdz updater crashes.. then the phone reboots and goes into an endless bootlop..
what i did is i pressed the vol.down+home key+power button (hard reset). i know u've probably did this but the phone will just vibrate and the LG logo will appear then it will automatically shutdown.. thats why all who experienced this cant enter into recovery mode. only emergency mode is working.

this guide is for those who got the same error during updating with kdz. i hope it really helps.
i just got my brother's L3 back after bricking it. and also thanks to the author of this tutorial. i salute you. goodluck guys on unbricking your phones
That is awesome. Thanks a lot for your tip, I really appreciate it :
always say phone not found
help… its not detecting my mobile… nor my mobile is booting in recovery mode.. it is stuck in boot animation.. i was installing CM9..
Wipe cache from recovery mode and reboot
i tried to roor my lg p350 mobile.
1)i instaled kdz soft ware in my pc
2) browsed the V10Q_00
after some time my mobie came to emergency mode ( yellow backgound)
next it showed some error, but i not remenber
than i removed my moblle from pc, removed the battery, and i tryed to restart the mobile.
but my mobile never starting, even any of lg drivers are not showing in device manager.
i tryed with volume+, volume-, power buttons, call buttons, in all sequences, but it is not starting.
could u please tell wt is the problem, if u can please solve
Both volume buttons and the power button pressed together should land your phone into Emergency mode. If not, I'm afraid I don't have any other alternative to make your phone work. Emergency mode is the last option and most of the times, it works!
Can you reinstall the rom from windows xp ?
Yes you can.
i can't make this tutorial work so i'm planning to try installing a new rom..is that possible?
If it is possible, you can go ahead and do it
I tried already and again I failed..T_T
If i have a money I'll probably bring this to the repair shop already.
Quite a lot of people have been successful with this unbricking tutorial. But this also involves you to be aware of the issues you might face on your PC.
I have a friends Lg-e405 And it comes up with the connect to pc symbols where can I go from there when i connect it to the pc nothing happens it wont show as a drive…
You should install the drivers for your phone!
anyone here who were able to flash custom ROM to LG e405 dual?

Step 5 explains that. if you see LG logo, release the power button!
i did mr. roanja's tutorial and it works..omg thanks to him..
thanks man
Thank you man, after install CM9 on my e400 I was like "Maaan, my phone is gone.." but you saved me! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!
i have changed ma rom and found out that the contrast of the phone is too high…..or something is wrong with the display….i recovered ginger bread back but same proble …plz help
Which ROM were you using and what did you do to recover back?
CM9….now i switched it back to ginger bread
You shouldn't face these issues if you have followed this unbrick guide. Try to do a factory reset.
my lg l3 keeps booting to the tmbile logo after the lg logo, please help
Do this now, remove battery and re-insert it. After that, press home button + Volume Down button + Power button together. When you see LG logo, release the Power button and hold the other two buttons. It will show an Android robot emptying something from the box which is called "hard reset".
i held the 3 buttons….the phone switched on….then i saw the lg symbols i left the power button…it has taken me to clock work mod recovery….
Okay I didn't know that you have installed CWM, in this case, you need to follow the unbrick guide given above by booting your phone in emergency mode.
Thank you very much, after install CM9 on my e400 I think my phone is gone, but you saved me! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! Željko

Please head over to this thread http://forum.hackmyandroid.com/f20/lg-optimus-l3-…
Hello Lalit,
I've read your articles and they are very helpfull and clear.
However I've got a really big problem for which I your need your help really bad.
I've rooted my L3 then installed clockwork mod manager to install cm9 ICS rom then things went really bad it crashed.
Now when I turn on the phone it directly goes in clockwork mod manager, I've tried to install the standard rom which it dit then after reboot its goes directly to clockwork mod again.
Now after reading your article above I finally get my phone in emergency mode, KDZ cant connect to my phone, it says phone not connected.
Please help me Lait I want my phone back.
Greetings from Holland.

Hello
It is good to know that you can get your phone in emergency mode. So if KDZ does not recognize your phone, you perhaps don't have the necessary drivers installed. Please download and install them for your OS. While your phone is connected to the PC via USB, you should be able to see the drivers by right clicking on My Computer>Manage>Device Manager. If you see "LG Modem", please disable it. If you have any more issues, please let me know 
Thanks for your appreciation, makes me feel good
Thanks
Hello Lalit,
Thanks for the feedback, After following your advice I finally got the stock rom on my phone to work with KDZ, for the LGE400 the V10K__00.kdz file was the only one that worked for me.
Is my phone unrooted now ? To check this I searched for SU (super user) files and SU apk. files in the system file and system app files, I cant find any so I think my phone is unrooted (yesss Finally !!) I also deleted a Clockwork mod file with clockwork mod files in it.
Sweet succes !!!
Thanx again Lalit for the help.

Looks like some DLL files are missing. The issue is related to Windows. Run the msxml file and a "dll-fixer" so that KDZ can run properly!
Sorry, I don't get you. Does the phone go to "switch off" mode from Emergency mode?

hay i got the wparam 100 and lparam 6 issue. but the phone started and working as before in a high cotrast. help
Did it automatically go into switch off mode from emergency mode? Try to do it again. Run the msxml file as admin.
how to run the msxml file as admin..don't know how to do it…pls. help..
thanks.
The KDZ updater you downloaded also has a msxml file. Right click on it and select "Run as administrator".
ok thanks i'll do it..
this is the result
Upgrade Error
Wparam: 100
Lparam : 6
Did you get this when you ran msxml file? Also,run KDZ as admin
Also, right click on My Computer>Manage>Manage Devices and disable LG Modem
I don't know how to run the msxml file as admin and I restarted the computer after installing the msxml file. After I opened the KDZ and ran the simulation the error cam stated above and the phone got on. With a weird high contrast.
Now the computer can not read the phone either.
i unbricked my lg l3 e400 using KDZ and now my phone is not updating when i update it manually it shows your phone not yet registered what should i do..????
how to run the msxml file as admin..don't know how to do it…pls. help..
thanks.
I assume you are using Windows 7. Is that true?
yes i'm using windows 7…what should i do? thanks…
By updating, do you mean going to Settings>About phone and tapping the option to check for software update?
lalit bhai yeh msxml phaser toh installer package hai….yeh toh run as admin ho he nahi paa raha hai..pls help me…window 7 n vista dono pe try kiya..ek bar confrm solution bataoo really be thankful to u sir
Installer packages can be run as admin. if not, try to run it as usual.
I tried six times already and has the same results…same error.
Run the msxml file as admin..this was really cofusing me..what i did was right click on the KDZ_FWD_UPDATES then run as admin…how about the zip file msxml?
how am i goin to run this zip file as admin? sorry for this…
The zip file has a Microsoft XML parser, make sure you run it as an
administrator and restart your PC. This will solve the wparam 100 and
lparam 6 issue mentioned in a comment below.
I am hoping and wishing to solve my problem…can i still have my phone back?
i will wait for suggestions and try to do it again and again…gudnyt!
The msxml file is not a zip file.
i did it to KDZ…to msxml file i don't see like run as admin…what i mean i don't know how to run msxml as admin..
thanks for time and effort…
Run as admin option is only for Windows 7. Which one are you using?
now im using window xp but has same error…
i wanted to say THANK YOU you are a phone-life rescuer you saved my phone after i installed cm9 and was entering in a endless bootloop but after reading carefuly my phone got perfectly normal ( it's brand new 2 weeks old) thank you so much

What happens when you flash the KDZ file to your phone?
Hi all.
This information is for those who still has problems after KDZ flashing…
I had too But solved using the comment of Kiryuchamo right after the tutorial.
What I did:
1.) Made the reflash using the tutorial. After finish the phone didn't swith off and repeated it's endless loop.
2.) I pulled out the battery and then put it back and switched on. The endless loop continued.
3.) Now I repeated the above but switched on using Kiryuchamo's method: Power+VolDown+Home and released all of them simultaneously right when I felt the phone vibrating. Be careful: VolumeDown only, NOT VolUp+VolDown etc.!
And… WOW.. it is booting!
Cheerz: _Mike_
sir how to solve wparam 100 and lparam 6 i already restart my pc
I have mentioned a comment after the tutorial, that should solve the error.
i neeed the back up file i forgot to back up it pls send me alink
Which backup file are you talking about?
thanks for the Big Help!!!
The LG PC suite will work as a driver?
No, the PC suit will help you install the driver. But it should not be running along with KDZ updater.
Please help me!
I did everything exactly how you said, but the kdz program crashes and my phone doesnt reboot, stuck on the LG LOGO, so i took off de batterry then put it back and try what kiryuchamo said but it goes back to the CWM. anyone help me please i'm afraid to lose my phone
do a hard reset
thanks for the feedback, i try to do, but i press all the three buttons then realease the power button and the "hard reset screen" doesn't appear, and the CWM comes back again! help!
I installed CM9 but had a probem with screen color (high contrast or 8 bit, i dont know) then I tried this tutorial and the problem was still there, tried 4 diferent stock ROMs but still the same, so with the original gingerbread I tried to update but now everytime the phone boots goes directly to clockwork recovery mode. I still can go to emergency mode but thats all. I cant do a hard reset either.
I cant do the ABD cause all your files are separate, could you please do a zip file?, also I cant download the image becasue even after I register to you forum I have to wait for a moderator to let me post, wich is really frustrating.
I just want my phone back with correct display, I dont care anymore about anything else.

What to do ? Help me plzzz …. thanks
getting this, too…
i want back stock rom, because cm9 is very unstable and after my first try i am now in a reboot loop (lg logo – white screen – lg logo…)
ps: xml parser is installed, problem on w8 and xp.
Did you read the comment I have quoted below the tutorial? People say that it solves this error.
Hi!
Yes, i read it. I flashed the device with e400go fw (with lg tool i found out its not the lg e400 even if all stickers on device say its the e400).
i then got wparam 100 – lparam 6 and did what is quoted in the box above (hard reset). but when i do this, nothing happens and the device reboots like ever. then i get the lg logo – then for a very short time a white screen und it loops this way.
That's awesome!
First i give thanks to ALLAH and second to you for help to unbrick my phone
You’re welcome
You're welcome
THX, my L3 is back to life. Respect.

The comment quoted at the end of the tutorial should solve the issue as it did for others.
i updated my phone to ics but when I power off my phone and tried to turn on, and its not turning on it shows LG logo and turns off itself.
You are using outdated and opsolete ICS Cyanogen Mod please don’t do that anymore keep trying untill you sucsecfully turing back on and leave it ON.And than just update it only with the latest and newest version.That will solve your problem.I had a exactely that same problem and I solved by simply downloading the only the latest and newest Cyanogen Mod and installing it.So I have never again have that problem.Good Luck.And please obey my advice and do just like I told you and use all the instructions from this site for installing the latest Cyanogen Mod.Good Luck again and you will make it I know you will solve this problem what you have now just like I did.Most dificult part is the only turning it back on.My personal experience about this problem and how I handle it.Good Luck again.
kdz updater crasher while updating plz help im using windows 8
It is pretty difficult on in Windows 8. You need to leave the KDZ as it is unless the process is finished. Disturbing it will make the KDZ crash.
i left it was showing not responding at first but after some time it was working & after ph restart kdz crashes ! >< same with windows 7 on my laptop :/
Any other way ?
Did KDZ say "Finished" I need to see the log.
No it is not solving my problem…
i use this method but showing "model dll msg not found(206).." many times and at last finish but my phone still in clockwork mode ,
i m also use command prompt method showing "waiting for devise "
i installed cm9 on my phone after stuck in cwm ..no use
anybody pls hlp me..
The dll issue is related to Windows, you may search for a fix and then try this method.
i also download model dll file and past it on kdz updater folder but its not fixed
Sorry I don't understand what is model dll?
hi the update is going well and at the end kdz crashez , but the rom is instalet half i gues because it only start to write the part where lg and then restart and so they give repeat
KDZ should not crash, it may not respond for a few minutes but you should not disturb the process unless KDZ says "Finished".
i just finished this tutorial and my lg phone is stock on LG loading screen image..
Perform a hard reset as mentioned in the tutorial above.
there is no hard reset in this tutorial.. =( argg.. my cm9 is not stable in my phone it keeps FREEZING.. and bootlooping =(
A comment has been quoted in the tutorial which says:
what i did is i pressed the vol.down+home key+power button (hard reset). i know u’ve probably did this but the phone will just vibrate and the LG logo will appear then it will automatically shutdown.. thats why all who experienced this cant enter into recovery mode. only emergency mode is working.
but the trick for you to be able to do a hard reset using the 3 buttons goes like this:
push the three buttons and when u felt the phone vibrates(its just only half a second, i guess) release the buttons right before the LG logo appears.. it will take you to an android unpacking a box screen.. wait for it to finish and your phine will reboot and will now work fine with stock rom.
- This is what a hard reset is.
I have followed the tutorial step by step, but I get an "Upgrade Error: wParam: 100 LPram: 4008". I do not know what else to do, and my mobile no exit "emergency mode"
I HAVE DONE ALL THE STEP.. AND FINISH BUT THE GRAPHICS OF MY PHONE IS ON 2D
What does that mean?
I don’t understand please explain that atachment brother about grafic on your phone.Maybe I can figureout how to help.That is all I like and want to do.To helping everyone who need’s help.
What is going on here with your Android device?Please explain.
Does this work on the lg optimus l7?
Here is the tutorial for LG Optimus L7 http://www.hackmyandroid.com/unbrick-lg-l7-p700-a…
That problem Lalit I have solved myself with the latest update.After that it happend another problem when I have tryed to install and use from Modaco or XDA Forum LG E400 1.5GHz kernel what nobody but me wasn't tested and that overclock was worked that good that was crashed and nockdodown my LG E400 Android.So it was stocked at LG boot screen.That problem I was sucesfully solved myself simply I was manualy rebooted my Android into the CWM and reinstall CM9 or Miui ROM OS and 1GHz kernel now it works fine but much slower than the firs time when I installed CM9 Bro.
Without unbricking.And my LG E400 is locked on only VIP Operater Serbia Lalit.
I had a same problem and I solved without unbricking.Your OS is crashed.So you must manualy reboot into the ClockWorkMod Manager and reinstall your OS from External Memory Card it worked for my model but you must ascept the fact that your Android will then like mine be much slower than the first time when you were get your Android but it will be stable like a first day.
Lalit his OS is probably crashed so the one of the solution is to try to reinstall again like me OS from External Memory Card that is how I solwed that problem with mine Android now is much slower but it work.
You are mean usefull right?Usefull and Useless is not one at the same.Usless have negative meaning.
My only problems are driver when I last night tryed to download drivers ADB for LG E400 to install on my PC P4 HT @3.00-3.04GHz machine it says acess is blocked on your website.And I can't put my windows on Administrator Mode.So I wonder can I reinstall LG E400 oficiall ROM from ordinary user account.And my LG E400 is locked on VIP Serbia Operater.So I am stock with MIUI and Cyanogen Mod but no oficially default Stock ROM OS.Lalit one very important question for me please I am asking you very nicely like my own big brother can you please see with Cyanogen Mod developers when they will add one extremely imortant option from the default LG E400 Stock ROM OS to enable PC Suite update baseband with LG PC Suite on the PC.I have tryed to update from recovery mod but my PC since I have Installed CM Mode canot update my baseband so I have stock with V10i and I have heard that is now avalabile V10J baseband frimware.And I saw on my younger brother friend LG E400 with Stock ROM OS that is avalabile some update size of 27,somethenig MegaBites.Do you know Lalit to tell me what is that update size of 27 MB for LG E400 I have saw some rumors that update is maybe an LG E400 ICS Stock ROM.But ordinary while I was on the Stock ROM I was get only update of baseband of the size 1.37 MB.When I was first day get this LG E400 from VIP Serbia Operator I had V10G than the first day directly over the WiFi OTA I get an V10H and the last time over the LG PC Suite I get the in that time the latest V10i what I have now.
Do an Reinstalation your ROM OS what I hope that you have stored on your External SD Card and let me know is it work.Don't forget to to all wipe procedures incuding System.emmc,cashe,data dalwik cashe,battery status and aeverything but leaveout your external card.And when you finish sucsefully reinstalation your os just redownload again gapps from your PC copy on your external card and reboot again in CWM and install gapps in CWM and reboot it and than just conect your android with your google mail account activate play store and from there all google aplications including Gmail app.
can u please tell me a simplest method to increase the system memory from 157 MB as my phone often alerts me of low memory and not all apps can be moved to sd card also i don't find such applications useful as per my needs i am using a l3 e-405 dual
You will have to root the phone and remove system apps.
i can't download the recover.img file help plzz
The download link has been updated. Download it from here.
There is an another link for ubricking this model directly without the LG KDZ and PC.Wich you can reinstall Stock ROM OS with only one diference it has preinstalled Xperia theme.It can be installed just like any other custom ROM OS.Today I will install and test it because I really need an baseband update.I wonder can I install baseband update at any way over the air using only CM over the air.Did you try it brother?
This is the link where you can get it brother http://www.lgswiftl3.tk/
This is the link where you can get it brother http://www.lgswiftl3.tk/ Instalation LG Optimus L3 E400 Xperia Theme preinstalled from EXT SD Card sucsesfull.Update in progress.
This is the link where you can get it brother http://www.lgswiftl3.tk/ Instalation LG Optimus L3 E400 Xperia Theme preinstalled from EXT SD Card sucsesfull.Update in progress.
And also you can unroot it with this rom without the KDZ Updatera and PC directly on the this model self.I think that I will not unroot it.But on the Stock ROM system video player canot play movies of the resolution 854*480p real entry HD.It can play only the video of the resolution 800*480p almost real entry HD.

But to install that ROM you need to boot into recovery mode and flash the zip. If you don't have recovery mode or if your phone bootloops into recovery mode, you need to use KDZ updater.
Hello, I wished to flash my phone back to stock rom and the following happend:
Phone in emergency mode, start process.
Getting lots of not found lines of code,
Step: phone reset
Phone reboots,
Kdz flasher crashes and no way back to get it alive only option to close program
seeing lg logo, lg bootanimation, and then:
White screen.
Reboot
Lg logo, lg bootanimation
White screen,
Reboot etcetera.
Any idea what the problem is?
I can still boot in emergency mode.
First: Did you see "Finished" written in KDZ Updater?
Second: Did you try doing a hard reset as mentioned in the tutorial above?
Hi there,
Since I could see the bootanimation from the stock firmware I thought that the program must have done something so I tried to boot the phone in recovery mode. It did the animation and load bar of a ''reset'' from the phone and after that it booted. I did see the configuration settings from the first time like you just bought the phone.
So the program crashed before it was able to boot my phone in recovery mode, but since I did boot it in recovery mode myself, my phone is working again.
Thanks for your effort.
hey hepl me … ive the same problem .. i tried the hard reset one … but am still stuck with it … what to do ??
You should do it exactly the way it is quoted as a comment :/
i did that … but it goes into boot loop , i also did a hard reset …. it didnt work ….
Try the KDZ method again and perform hard reset and then boot the phone normally.
Thanks this allowed me to fix my phone when an official update malfunctioned and messed up the firmware.
Hello, I did everything said here and It worked flawlessly… or I thought it did… Now I can't connect my phone through USB or even charge it by any means. Please help, I don't know what to do.
What happens when you connect it via USB? Did you flash the right firmware for your region? Try to do a hard reset and reboot again.
I flashed the right firmware for my region. It does nothing, like I didn't plugged anything in it. I did a hard reset and it did nothing useful.
Does it charge in Power off mode? And, try some other charger to find out what's wrong.
It shows the LG logo intermittently and the screen goes on and off, it doesn't seems to charge while off. I'm going to a store, thanks
I am havin the same problem too, and also the display colors problem
PLEASE HELP ME!!
That is because the phone you have is new one with new drivers.
pardon me sir.. but my phone get stuck on lg logo after flashing the stock rom v10b..and one more thing, it reboots itself after the tool says "finished".. after that, when i turn it on or do a hard reset, i always end up on cwm.. please help me get my phone back sir, coz i cant fully get how to do your tutorial about adb and fastboot.. sorry 'bout my english
Jhon, you should do it this way – push the three buttons and when you felt the phone vibrates (its just only half a second, i guess) release the buttons right before the LG logo appears.. it will take you to an android unpacking a box screen.. wait for it to finish and your phone will reboot and will now work fine with stock rom.
i already do that many times but still my phone is always off then on then after off again and on again please im begging is there any alternative way to recover my phone thanks and godbless
Try to flash a different recovery.img file to the bootloader. I have written how to do that under "Update" heading.
when i switch my phone on it gets into recovery mode automatically i tried factory reset nothing happens PLEASE HELP FAST!…THANK YOU
Flash the KDZ file and let me know what happens.
please help !! after flashing v10h_00 on my device . .. every thing done .. but the problem is my display contrast is too high … what to do . . please help me
Which region are you in? Try some other firmware.
actually sir, i already did it once..and it works, felt very thankful for that..sorry i didnt mention that, i should've say thank you.., but i think my mistake is, i did format its internal storage including the boot.img file on my brother's pc and root the phone again then upgrade the software from v10b to the latest via wifi..and thats where my problem starts because i cant use the trick like i did the first time… i always get stuck on cwm..been trying the adb myself but it is unable to detect my device.. did installing the lg drivers.. anyway, thank you for sharing your time sir.. really appreciate that..thanks
For some reason I am unable to install the KDZ Updater to my PC. Whenever I open the .exe it asks the usual windows allow changes and when I click on OK nothing happens. My phone is stuck in emergency mode after a software update went wrong somehow. How can I fix this :'( ??
Try to disable Firewall and Antivirus as that might be preventing the installation.
Thank you! With all the panic over my phone I completely forgot to even think about my antivirus. The KDZ Updater finally opened, so now I can start fixing my phone
Sis did you try to do it on in my way just over the CWM to install it just like Cyanogen Mod ROM I have left you an link with the Stock ROM OS what can be installed just like Cyanogen Mod and MIUI ROM OS without the PC and KDZ and after that just update it with your PC LG PC Suite during an update process will also unroot it and restore it as it was like the first time when you get it.It has work ok with mine.
PC Suite couldnt connect my phone because of the emergency mode. And it was because of the PC Suite Software Update that my phone crashed in the first place. It also didn't do a factory reset with the KDZ Updater. It took 5 minutes, my phone restarted and everything was back to normal and perfect.
I'm glad the tutorial worked well for you!
Well…I used the KDZ updater to get back to stock…but now it's in a bootloop..I can't use kdz updater anymore because it gave an error. If I try to get into recovery mode it still boot in CWM but I can't install cm9…so I guess I'm stuck…?
Dude…in my country we have a saying…"Meer geluk dan wijsheid…"…it meens somuch as More luck then wisdom…but it up and running, stock rom and I won't be flashing for a while…;-) Thanks for everything!!!
Dont install this ROM ! the graphics are TERRIBLE ! and you might have a hard time restoring the original ROM ! :'(
I LOVE YOU T^T
that aternative worked like a charm :'D
I'm glad it did

sir thank you for your tutorial i succesfully finished it but my lg l3 e400 has facing a problem my screen text and icon(app) is all blured!!!
Hi! I'm also from the Philippines. I also have the same problem as with Vhince. When I first installed the MIUI rom, I had the low screen resolution problem. I thought that going back to the original rom will solve the problem but it didn't. Do you have any idea on how to fix this problem? Thanks!
Problem with drivers, try some other stock firmware or do a factory reset.
It is a problem due to display drivers. Try to flash a different firmware and see if that helps.
I will try other firmwares and will reply back with the result. Thanks for the reply.
sir i try the philippines firmwares in your firmwares download list!!!!!!
sir i see my cousin lg l3 e400 celphone and his software version is V10j
sir i try now the software update/ via wifi network!!!! i hope the screen text and icon of my l3 is back to normal!!!!

It must be the fastboot drivers which you should search and installed. I tried to do this driver installation on one of our reader's PC running Windows XP via Teamviewer but it didn't out and I couldn't figure out the issue with the drivers.

Was your phone fixed? Thanks for the information
I think i have the same problem. I tried to install CyanogenMod9 with Clockworkmod rommanager, it didn't work. I ended up with a hardbricked phone, but i fixed it by using this tutorial. I tried to update my software, (With the app that's already installed on the phone) but when it tries to install the update, it has to boot to a special screen, but it boots into Recovery Mode that is installed by ClockWorkMod.
The special screen – is it yellow in color?
yap!!! they fix my phone and the moral lesson i learn is be contented in what operating system you have
..hahaha!!!!!
)
Lalit I think you have very little knowledge on this and mainly you are misguiding people which led them brick their phone
What if i have a back up of my stock rom using rom manager?????
I don't recommend ROM Manager. Maybe you can try an online nandroid backup if you don't have CWM.
Oh well, you need CWM even for an online nandorid backup.
hi lalit
i try to partition my dcard so the internal memory will get bigger
but it doesnt work…
now i want to restore my default ext sd size (8gb) cause i use it for partition..

at first extract error -finished
2nd those param…etc..
my device working well on my pc…
tell me what i will do next

thank you
What happens with the KDZ? Did you try wiping data and cache via recovery mode?
thank you so much!!! now my phone is alive again:-)
I can't download LG e405 firmware. It seem it no longer existing. can you upload it again and post the link? thanks in advance.
Which one are you trying to download?
is your post applicable for LG L3 Dual?
No, it is not!
File does not exist anymore. Please upload it again! thanks in advance.
Oh boy! I bricked and unbricked my phone but when i root and install cwm again my phone is stuck in recovery mode.. I tried the steps again but it did'nt work anymore.. I tried the adb fast booter but also didnt work.. The recovery.img that i downloaded does'nt work maybe corrupted.. The adb file does'nt work also. Please help!
Brianna, this is the only method I know as of now. If I come to know about some other method, I will let you know.
Thank you!
i'm from philippines, where did you bring your phone? it didn't void your warranty even its rooted???
Thanks i almost thought i lost my E400 trying to go for Android 4.0…
where i had to leave it bricked, but thanks to you…..i just managed to escape from leaving it bricked….Thank you very much
Hey thanks everythng works apart from usb connection it doest work at all not even showing charging
Do a factory reset.
i cant detect my phone when connecting it to pc, i have tried everything i have read such as reinstalling usb driver and so on. help me pleaase, i want to bring it back to stock firmware.
Try to disable anti virus and firewall and try again.
still not detected. i installed cm9 build 3 wherein there is a bug about usb , then i installed build 4 then still bug is still here i guess. what do i do ?
Hey….
I installed drivers of Optimus One
It shows LGE Modem in the device manager which i disabled
tried shaking & everything but phone is'nt being detected
and so the phone isn't being booted
Disable anti virus and firewall
I have neither antivirus nor firewall
In manage devices, do you see any yellow triangle with exclamation mark?
Yup……
VSO devices
Patin Couffin Engine for 64 bit systems (AMD)
No,not that. There should be one for your device too. There might be some issues in your PC which prevent your device from being recognized.
Yup You are right…..
My OP1 is bricked during installing new baseband recovery
so i followed everything……
I removed all drivers and reinstalled pc suite,usb drivers
when i connect the phone to PC……
It gets turned on showing Lg boot screen
So then
in device manager i disabled Modems
but no use…….
The connection is fine as my phone gets turned on automatically
So I did what the guide says, and the KDZ updater worked fine. I rebooted the phone knowing it would take a long time as you said, but it has been stuck at the lg logo screen for almost an hour now… Is that normal?
Do a hard reset as mentioned in the post.
I had installed CM9 and was unhappy with it. So I decided to go for stock. I read this article, did as you said. But my phone just wouldn't start. It keeps rebooting, the LG Screen and startup sound over and over again. I can't even launch the CWM. The hard reset as you call it, Down Volume + Home + Power doesn't work either, it restarts the phone and it keeps rebooting.
The Hard reset should reset the phone. What happened with the KDZ? Was it successful?
Sir I have my problem on my LG optimus l3 E400, i flashed my stockrom before and after the processing, its now stuck on "emergency mode" yellow screen, i tried everything like holding the menu+volumeup and power, and i reflashed rom again, nothing happened. until now im stuck on emergency mode. please help sir.
What does KDZ updater say?
Where did you download the V10J?
Hey my lg l3 has unbricked , thanks , but cn u now tell me how to increase the size of system memory without unrooting the phone , i cant install more than 4 apps, it would be good if the system memory would increase till about 500 mb … can it happen ?
Man i need help please..i did all steps that u was say.. but in the begining the problem was the error : Upgrade Error – WParam : 100 LParam : 6!! the file that u said to install for this i already did..now the problem is that my laptop dont recognize the usb because cant find mobile usb modem drivers.. so i cant try again now. my phone is lg-l3-e400..
You need to install the drivers again on your laptop. There might be some anti virus program or firewall preventing the connection between your phone and PC.
You can do that using a custom ROM only. You can not increase the memory but you can free up some space.
can u mail me the steps on how to increase it using cm9 ?….. it will be a pleasure for me in having a larger system memory ….
Use Link2SD app!

Resolution problem on lg e400. It looks like you have to download just new .kdz. V10N version solved my problem. Great work Lalit. Thanks for your help.
Hey Dude, i got a problem, my phone keep on rebooting after i did unbrick
can you help me? 
Hey Dude, after doing the tutorial. my phone keep on restarting… is there any way to fix it? /sad
Do a hard reset.
it’s now working dude. thank u
Hey! thanks, saved my phone, but i have a huge problem…. The KDZ file is from the uk.. not the us. so my att sim wont work. theres is no kdz file on ANY forms anywhere for the U.S. What should I do?
ALSO, another HUGE problem. my lg l3 wont connect with my pc, charger or any form of charging, i tried to root the thing, then did your tutorial, and it worked but it put it in the telecom moble, instead of nothing. I used the kdz file V10c, which is from uk. However, it doesnt help much because i need the phone to work in the U.S. is there a KDZ file for that like one for unlocked gsm in america? please respond, because this is a major problem.
I don’t think there is any separate kdz file for U.S. Try to use the Indian one, it has no network locks!
is the stock rom zip file link working..? hav a look bhaiya.. i think cwm method would be short and easy.. i tried . bt nt succeed … i think its dead..
It’s working for some people only! I don’t know why LG revoked access to those files :/
help me bro…. need lg e400 stock rom for cwm method unbricking……
It is hosted on LG servers. Can’t do anything unless they fix it!
Thanks! you got my sim to work!! but my phone cant connect with my pc, and when i turn it off, once its plugged into my pc, it does the endless boot logo stuff.Once i turn it on, it starts up fine and everything works. but the browser doesnt work either, it keeps crashing, same with dolphin and opera mobile. any sugestions?
Do a factory reset and try again!
Dear Host ………. its verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy imp to have latest drivers from lg it took almost 5 hours for me to unbrick the phone . others who are facing other problems get latest drivers from lg

PHONE UNBRICKED SUCCES FULLY
I will be posting a vedio soon on unbricking make sure you check it out …. if you have any problem
Will be glad to see the video
Thanks! now the browser works, but my phone cant/ isnt being recognised by my pc, what should i do to get it to connect?
update youre divers mr patrick …. i net tats the only solution … update it via the device manager on pc
Gud PM sir I have a problem… after flashing a zip file my phone is stuck at black screen after the logo… following your steps for unbricking the phone turned off during the software update using KDZ FW… now it’s useless 1. won’t turn on again 2. PC can’t detect the phone 3. won’t charge so I can’t go back to emergency mode… I hope you can help me with this… Already installed the LG universal drivers but still can’t recognize, I tried removing the battery and connecting it to PC but still no emergency mode… My phone is locked to SUN/SMART PHILIPPINES… Thank you in advance…
Did you successfully run the KDZ update? Did it say finished? What was the zip you flashed? If you flash a zip to a locked network phone, there are high chances you will brick it!
Lalit there is a very litle problem with your download link it doesn’t work because it reciving toomuch trafic download requests.So the alternate link to download the Stock ROM V10j for installing using CWM ROM Manager is http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ke59oa92iqk3bqn that is onlyone functional link for download ready anytime,anywhere.
Thanks for the link but it looks like Xperia Stock ROM
Don’t let that the Xperia theme fool you.That is only theme that is all and nothing more.But actualy that is a LG E400 Android 2.3.6 Stock ROM.And I was confused at the first and later I was realised that is only theme brother. lol
this ROM is of xperia or LG L3 ??
For LG Optimus L3 E400.Saga don’t let that the Xperia theme and look fool you to think that is Xperia ROM because that is not Xperia Stock ROM.If it was my LG E400 could be terminated but it is alive and well and healthy.That is a real living prove,evidence and the fact about that is actualy LG Optimus L3 E400 Android 2.3.6 Stock ROM.I swear.
Lalit you are simply love the KDZ metod I have noticed that.Because you are keep talking about KDZ all the time. lol
And I have forgot to thank you.So thank you for metioning me here brother Lalit.See you Lalit and people here.
it works! thanks for that but did I completely get rid of the clockworkmod?
Yes you did!
so it means when i turn on my phone again using the power button+volume down key+menu button it wont go to clockworkmod recovery? thanks a lot for your help mr. engineer. im taking up engineering too.
hey, so my phone is fully functional, but it still wont respond/connect with my pc. i have updated the drivers, so that not an issue. everything works fine, but this. ive tried doing a foctory reset, and nothing worked. the phone charges, when i changed the software version it said it was complete. but the phone isnt actually synced with my pc. Any ideas?
alternate method can u plz reupload the link of stock rom zip its not working !
We’re trying to get the KDZ file from somewhere but it looks like the link is working for some people. LG shouldn’t have taken them down!
KDZ procedure is a very risky and tricky procedure.So I really don’t like it.
Saga here is the link where you can see the best and alternate method for unbrickinghttp:http://lgswiftl3.tk/
And this is the link where you can download it http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ke59oa92iqk3bqn
For this just use the ClockWorkMod ROM Manager and use the same instructions what youare using when you are instaling Custom ROM like Cyanogen Mod and MIUI.That is all sience what we have to know.Good Luck
I did with that stock rom which was named Xperia n now im stuck at LG logo :/
LOLOL IDK how I unbricked my phone just now ! it was being stuck at lg logo when i tries with stock rom then i did with kdz on that then the phone started working xD many many thanks to hackmyandroid
I installed CM9 yesterday, but I don’t like it and now I want to set back my phone to stock firmware. So, will this method work to set my phone to stock again and work normally like it was before? Thank you!
Btw. do you know where can I get official version of my gingerbread I had before installing CM9?
I forgot to write that my phone works perfectly fine. I just don’t like how that custom rom works(there are some bugs and it looks ugly at my llittle phone).
I have a problem.
When i start the update, i have a error ” wParam = 100, IParam = 2″
Can you help please ? Thx
P.S : A screen may be helpful …
http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=872405Sanstitre.pngI have a error sentence : “Step : Upgrade Error error code = 2″
The link for alternate flash suspend? Is there any other option through CWM?
HELP!
I do this, step by step and my phone is just turns on and off. :/
What i to do now?
Do a hard reset.
official firmware for lg e400 not available for my country please help. my country is KENYA.
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=11
Use Tanzania. 10G. Worked for me!
My L3 crashes every single day, 1-4 times and I tried many KDZ versions… Just restarts randomly even though it has lots of available memory at dispose… So I wanted to try the German version v10h for which I’ve read is good and during updating something went wrong… I got an error in KDZ updater and now my computer doesn’t recognize my phone any more and it won’t even charge the battery with the supplied mains charger (so USB port is totally useless)… However, the phone turns on, works just fine (with what’s left of the battery). So, what can I do? Is there any way I can root it with an app, flash new ROM or anything at all??? Why is it crashing on a daily basis???
Do a hard reset. If that doesn’t help, try a different firmware!
I forgot to say I tried the hard reset, didn’t help…
I don’t know how to put diff firmware on cause USB port is not working… I’ve done some research about flashing without pc, but most of them say I have to root it first which I can’t because the two apps i tired only support to like 2.2, not 2.3.6 so I’m stuck
SIR CAN YOU HELP ME? I INSTALLED CM9 BUT THE ICONS LOOKS DARK AND BLURRY.. WHAT SHALL DO TO HAVE A GOOD DISPLAY? I TRIED THE SETTING BUT IT DOES NOT HELP.. PLEASE DO ASSIST ME..
That’s a problem with display drivers, flash the stock ROM zip file to roll back or wait for a newer build of CM.
I live in Saudi Arabia
so I can’t find this country in the list of official-firmwares-list
What can be done in this case?
Thank you
