Does this work with 2.2.1???

Farbulus · Apr 28, 2011

I keep getting the "phone is disconnected please restart" thing popping up. I then get to the 4% mark and it makes me restart again.

I don't know man. I know others had that issue but I can't offer any help

Farbulus · Apr 30, 2011

Dang. I've been trying everything. I had it working and then installed the Froyo update OTA and it bricked "again". Might just have to sell it on ebay broken

Hey, this is my 1st post ever. I have the exact same problem with my ally. Stuck in emergency and wont go past 4% on the update. I wd appreciate any help, ive been trying to fix it for daaayyyyss.

spamlewin · Jun 16, 2011

I'm running 2.2.3, and I rooted my phone using GingerBreak. I downloaded some apps, and one of them was ROM Manager. Sure enough, I flashed a ROM (Dapple DUck 1.4 or something like that). ANd my phone bricked. For some reason, my recovery got deleted as well. I tried your method above (with drivers installed and everything), and I got nothing but errors in the program that resets the software. Also, the whole thing was in question marks. I couldn't understadn what it was I was agreeing to, and didn't know what to click. any suggestions? it's stuck on the downloading.... do not unplug screeen.

KingOfGreen · Jun 16, 2011

Well first off, do you have an ally?? And if you do youre not runnin 2.2.3, probably 2.2.2. Thats not important though. Where did you find that ROM? You sure it was an ally ROM? And how old is the phone?? It would be sweet if you have fastboot but you probably dont. Try the LGNPST guide. Thats probably your best bet at this point.

OMG! Thank you Death! After 8 hours, Ive finally managed to restore my bricked phone! I was stuck in a dlmode on and off loop but after repeatedly doing factory resets and starting from step 1 I managed to complete my mission.

+1 Karma point for you. Enjoy it!

I am having this problem too. Did you ever find an answer to this?

huey2007 · Jul 20, 2011

So, my phone was bricked and I thought I was screwed. To unbrick my ALLY, I simply downloaded lg mobile updater and ran it. I don't have my data but my phone is working.

Find/search for the LGNPST guide and use that. Alsooooo if you need help, clear and plentiful information will make it much easier for others to help.

yes sorry about the document and it is stuck at the Downloading do not unplug and when i do this tutorial

guitarplayr · Aug 27, 2011

I have the same issue. After following the tutorial to the letter, it continues restarts saying there is a communication error, then forces me to exit.

Now the phone is utterly hopeless and sits at the downloading do not unplug screen. No restart method resets it.

MooseMussio · Sep 8, 2011

Can I please get some one that has done and completed this successfully. I would like to know if it is a possibility to answer some questions on the topic or maybe even allow me to call on a seperate phone and assist me in fixing my broken phones. I have 2 allys sitting at the same broken point and cant get either of them to work. I need help asap please since I will probably be stuck without a phone for about 10 months if I cant fix this issue.

I bricked my phone a couple months ago, how I'm not exactly sure. Was running StormDroid 2.x, and I know my phone wouldn't go into recovery unless I did it from inside the ROM (holding down the power button, and u get power off, airplane mode, reboot, and recovery) before I even put StormDroid on it (I'd bounced around between Velocity 1.2.1/2 and Bionix). That means PWR+option+call when the phone is off doesn't work. Anyway, now when I turn it on, it shows the red "StormDroid" shiny lettering and stays there, not rebooting, not entering the Android OS, just sitting there. Well I upgraded to the Droid 4, and so my LG Ally is off contract. I would like to use it as an mp3 player, but first have to unbrick. Should the method on this thread work in full?

nat422 · May 28, 2013

Know this is the vs740 thread but really can not find help on cross flashing a us740 to as740. I have download the drivers and made sure they are up to date. All the android and google drivers load up when the device is plugged into the computer when the device is in emergnecy mode it only installs 3 lg drivers. When the device is hooked up to LGNPST after hitting start I get use android drivers when in cs emergncy mode been stuck for a week trying to figure this out help please
