Dear all,
and thanks in advance to anyone willing to spend some time to help me.
It all started few days ago when I turned off my LG L9 (updated to the last version available for my brand (Italy - TIM), I believe it was Jelly Bean V20C).
When I turned on the phone again, it was stuck on the lg logo.
Then I started to read this forum, and the first thing I tried was the HARD RESET. After that, a sadly image of the android robot with a red triangle lying upon its body appeared.
This image now shows up every time I boot my phone, just after the LG logo.
Then I tried:
- recovery from LG Mobile Support Tool
- followed this guide: [GUIDE] [UNBRICK][ROOT] FLASH Any LG Factory ROM (kdz) WITH OFFLINE FIX
- tried KDZ update tool alone (3GQCT in combination with all modes: DIAG, EMERGENCY, CS_EMERGENCY).
In order to use the Offline fix guide, I run fastboot with option number 2, to upload ICS x-loader and u-boot, otherwise the phone was not recognized by the tool (_IsConnectedPhone(0)).
But in all cases of kdz update, the phone reboots at exactly 90% of the process and after the initial LG logo the red triangle is back again
.
Harder reset won't work either after the update.
I tried Italian firmware V10A_00, V10B_00, V10C_00, V20C_00, but none of them works.
I noticed that after the update to an ICS firmware, when I try the hard reset procedure, I can see the android recovery image just one frame before the red triangle appears.
I also tried to install a CWM recovery, but without the bootloader unlocked I got a "security error", that went away with a kdz update.
I searched this forum and I think I can't unlock the bootloader with a bricked phone, am I right?
I plan to make a last recovery with the LG Mobile Support Tool and send it to warranty, so that no trace of fastboot manipulations should be visible (right?).
I have read a lot of threads on this forum (and others) before posting here.
If you know of anything I can try, please let me know.
Thank you!
