Root Official restore with dl mode?

Is This My Problem?
---------------------
Okay Every Thing Goes Greats Till It Is Suppose To Say Status 3, I Was Wondering If Mcafee Verizon Internet Security Suite Was Making It Status 2 Because You Can't Close It.

You're getting status 2? You can try what I did. I can't guarantee it will work, but I think I'm the only one who's managed to recover from it.

Tied It.

Tied It.

Try it with a fully charged battery. I just tried it again and it's not working for me either. There are only 2 things different from before. The battery was fully charged, and the phone was deactivated as I had switched to a backup phone. I don't see how whether the phone was active would make a difference, which just leaves the battery. I've seen other restore processes for other phones that require the battery to be fully charged. Could be the same here. The reset might not function unless the battery is fully charged to prevent the risk of the battery dying while it is resetting. I am charging mine now, will try it again in the morning.

I know I should've left well enough alone, but I was getting some errors again and wasn't getting any help with recovering apks to fix it. :/ Anyway, I felt relatively certain I would be able to get it to work again...just gotta figure out what the missing piece of the puzzle is. Hope it's the battery. If not, I'll switch to the backup phone again and try it. *fingers crossed*

I'll try it, but the charging screen is stuck so it won't tell me percentage. I'll wait a night of charging.

Hey, no it's not because I merged them - per the site rules that you clicked through when you made the new account - you only get one.

On the download mode screen where it says CHARGER_ONS Bxxx, Bxxx is the battery percentage. I just ran it on full charge with no luck. I will try deactivating it and try it again.

 

[bg4m3r]

Tried it with the phone deactivated and it went to the reset screen. For some reason it still did the status 2 error, but I will try again later (I may have done something wrong, I was in a hurry). Out of time to mess with it right now.

Hey BG4M3R What Version Of Drivers You Using, Also Where Did You Get Them? I am also wondering where you got your LG Flash Tool?

Hey BG4M3R What Version Of Drivers You Using, Also Where Did You Get Them? I am also wondering where you got your LG Flash Tool?

I'm using the versions posted in this thread. Driver 3.11

I've gotten the reset screen to come up a couple more times, but I'm not 100% on exactly how I'm triggering it. One time it seemed like it came up when I released the buttons...like a hold for 5 sec and release kind of thing, but I'm having difficulty replicating on a reliable basis. Also, both times after the reset it's just gone back to status 2. It worked once, I don't know why it isn't working now.

I found a way to restore the phone with DL mode. Here's How To Do It

Have you done this?

 

[JGrosstephanJR]

Have you done this?

Yes It Unbricked My Phone

 

[fwuts]

"4. Launch the program [First Time It Makes You Select A Mode Pick The Third] and click manually select dll."

I did not get a "select a mode" prompt.
When I selected a dll (either csmg_reg_key.dll or MegaLock.dll, the only ones there) I get a "Wrong DLL File" error.

What am I doing wrong.

 

[thejoker954]

It's been a while since I set up the flash tool but I think I had that issue too. Is megalock.Dll in the flash tools folder? If not place it there.
I'm not home right now but when I get their I can look at my flash tool. When you launch the program what do you get?

**
here is the megalock I use, perhaps you just have the wrong megalock.

megalock.dll: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=03109968488715680673

I was just trying for a few hours to get "Factory Reset Status 2" to go away. What did it for me were these steps http://androidforums.com/volt-all-things-root/861292-how-restore-phone-dl-mode.html#post6661211. My issue was not clicking the "Board DL" at step 7. I did that, and the next try, my phone was fixed!

EDIT: BTW, I have the Virgin Mobile version.

OMG! So I noticed that in the last screenshot it seemed to be implying that it failed to change the status because the phone had completed a factory boot. So, out of pure desperation, I waited for it to get to 99% flash on the phone and started holding Vol+ hoping it would reboot straight into download mode. When the LG logo came up, I held down power too to attempt to prevent it from getting to the mini os screen. When it rebooted, it went to a different factory data reset screen. I told it to do it, and now it rebooted like nothing was ever wrong! Phone fixed! I have no clue as to why it worked differently then what asmugone said, but I have my phone back! Hooray for desperately smashing buttons!

All I can say is freaking wow!!! I also fixed my phone from that status 2 blue screen using the factory reset method by holding the vol+ and power button once the LG logo screen came up during the reboot.

A couple things for me too by the way that might help some poor lad like myself:

1. Using the factory reset method mentioned above after the phone reboots in the LG flashtool (vol+ and power button pressed together (or maybe even vol- and power button???) , I probably went through like 10-15 iterations above before it finally didnt go to the blue screen and returned to normal. I also said yes to wipe everything once in factory reset menu.

2. The LG flashtool status still showed up as FAIL even though my phone ended up resetting itself back to normal.

3. I uninstalled the latest driver I had which was 3.11.3 and used the driver update from asmugone in comment #48 I believe, which was NOT the latest driver update ( it was 3.11.0). That driver is found in the LG PC Suite folder under LG_USB_Driver. (I'm not even sure if this really mattered or not anymore but just listing the steps I took).

4. Thanks to everyone who helped figure this out, bg4m3r and asmugone. Now I'm back on the version 3 software and tethering again hopefully! I'm so done with LG after this. . . .

I also attached pics to show that i really did get it out of the blue screen in case someone is losing faith out there. . .

 

[bg4m3r]

Good info bouncerhvj, but we're past this issue now. The problem was that when flashing, you need to use BOARD_DL more rather than UPDATE_DL mode.

Glad you got fixed though.

Thanks asmugone for providing these files! Have you received enough donations to cover your cost yet? If not, please let us know how much more you need. Maybe you could edit your post to add that info, and update it periodically as donations come in. Thanks.
