the ls720 firmware does not work it shuts the update program down every time it gets to the update part,maybe file didnt download correctly i dont know...I accidently flashed motion 4g firmware on f3 by the time i realized it it was at .........PARAM 78 thing & i guess in the moment of panic i hit the table and the phone hit the floor....now its dead wont power on or anything..****KKKKKK!!!!!!!

My friend...sorry to hear that.. Try this remove
**baterry
**hold vol+,- don't let go
** insert usb w/o battery phone may flash but it would not do Notting.
** insert baterry
** it should put u in download mode (hopefully)
** if it goes on.
** start process of update w/KDZ updater
Make sure u hav right firmware.

Hope it wrks something like that happened to me when i did my motion n i brought it back to life.
I hav my fingers crossed

U might not be able to see anything because you flashed the motion firmware, but if it can at least power onto at least qhusb mode, it is fixable

I know someone that knows how to fix qhusb mode without a jtag.

If the people flashing the Tmo firmware on metro F3 having issues with service, would flashing a nand backup from another metro F3 solve the problems? I have a full stock, rooted backup if it would help.

If they hav 2nd recoverylte it probably.. But we hav stock firm for mpcsf3 so...

Yes after I flashed metro firmware successfully I tried the sprint/VM firmware....I tried 4-5times at least but it would crash the update tool. Automatic version and just offline as well...can I repair the phone I mean taking it to Dr.cellular or something or is it a paperweight?

They MIGHT be able to fix it if they do jtag...ask them if they need the firmware if they say they don't support the phone yet.

And what do u mean by crash? Freeze? The program always freezes at first, but wait and it flashes...

The program has stopped working windows has closed program....let it sit like that what seemed like forever...program closes.

Bro.. ??? U still can flash MpcsF3 firmware but not VM? If it so i thing that the vm download is corrupted... I think, like sammy said try another comp. N right click on download search property n unblock it. Another thing try to download vmF3 driver... Cus if u are able to flash metro n not vm i think is software issues.

JrossiX · Sep 24, 2013

How would I the phone is not detected by windows...neways I'm putting a caper together to get a new one.but I'll try the windows SDK first.

JrossiX · Sep 24, 2013

Unfortunately I don't have access to another comp. I'm new to this particular area. I haven't given up yet:banghead :cool:

Ok... That means u need driver... Is ur phone on try to un install mpcsf3 driver n install vmdriver.. Put in DwnMode.. N start process.

JrossiX · Sep 24, 2013

Hey so I've downloaded the SDK for windows +drivers/7/8/8.1 and all that jazz I took the battery out plugged USB then battery ... the green light around the home screen stayed on

JrossiX · Sep 24, 2013

One thing though I have total black screen but give me a sec I'm gonna give it a try

Hey what is QHSUSB_DLOAD and its saying no drivers found...I just reinstalled the lgunited 3.1's?....anybody?

OK...googled that shit and I'm good I guess the hboot is damaged? I do have Qualcomm drivers in my files somewhere.. don't know if they are the right ones. This is beyond my scope of knowledge so im gonna do some research ...BTW any one-click solutions are welcomed...I found a thread on it at XDA but its for the HTC incredible...I repeat new territory for me but from what I read this means we r unbrickable?

Congrats, you are in QHUSB mode...this is unbrickable, new guide was made on xda not long ago to get out of it...I'll have someone ask for stuff in the VM LG F3 forum.

JrossiX · Sep 25, 2013

So does this mean I dont got to rob my local cell phone shop..j/k,...j/k!!!no but really I am

Went searching around I found out holding vol+/- menu <~ button & power brought the home button light on for about ten seconds then holding down home & power did that too...I wasnt get'n any response b4 and apparently shaking the device actually helps although I dont know for what...I really hope I can unbrick this phone ...I really got a thing for her...lol.....btw had windows pick up device and start installing drivers but then light went out.
