Root brick hard

OK so working on a kernel for the last week or so, and played around with repartioning sizes and moving dalvik to /cache along with it. It all came down to something in the radio.img even the zv3 radio, after a clean wipe in recovery (cwm) the phone starts up only to DL mode.. Along with a modded partition table.

No recovery (somehow), no system, so DL mode I went through everything, kdz flashing, multitool and lg flash tool - cuts very short saying partition 30 does not match.

Anyone know of a way to just flash a script to fix the tables?
 
the same problem to yours i met ，
[ 0:46:41] DEVICE : 28 | eri | 624640 | 641023
[ 0:46:41] BINARY : 28 | mpt | 624640 | 690175
[ 0:46:41] [eri vs mpt] 28th partition NOT matched.
the log says above

please TELL me how to fix it if you find some method
 
well after some searching it seems that bin files ( extracted from the zv3 tot ) can be flashed in LG Flash tool.

i extracted the bin files and tried to flash but the bin that came from the tot wont flash to the phone which says it is still zv4..

so i got the partition layout, bin files that are no use and a brick still. will keep working on this, if anyone has an idea, shoot it.. thanks

please tell me The version number of your lgflashtool，and which dll you used？it is this ：LGLS740_20140414_LGFLASHv160.dll？
 
i redid the steps i took for the kernel on my new volt.. only not flashing. i got a backup.img of what i think was the problem of the [mmcblk0p29 "mpt"]

i keep running into a tool called lgnpst i think that might help us, that or try to flash the .img to the volt.

ill be looking into this todaty.. along with the other blocks. btw palmprefans, what zv* were you on before your volt was bricked?

You would know if it recognizes your phone. I suppose at this point someone might try anything.

yep, def. my ubuntubox recognizes the phone just as the lg flash tool but this gave me info that will help.

Code: 
PID  0x633A  Product ID
VID  0x1004  Vendor ID
active  True  Your OS shows this driver and port is correctly configured and a device attached
available  True  It was possible to open this port

*edit: i'll look into this a tad bit more cant test just yet.. being forced. comp just took a wicked dump so getting my macbookpro on ubuntu right now. try for tonight or tomorrow. btw thanks for the help
 
Hello, i was just wondering if you have found away to unbrick yourphone? Because after bricking mines i try to unbricked with the lg flash tool but after %6 it says partition table don'tmactch! Have you had any luck with yours?
 
Trying to catch up at work, but i have been looking into it. i dont know if your partition table is as bad as mine ( no downlad mode, no recovery, no fastboot ) but in ubuntu my phone only recognizes the ttyACM0 modem port. ive been trying to just get my comp in that port to flash anything.

its a very troublesome brick but im determined that i can get this up and running..

i got the table, but phone does not respond at all. Power on --> straight to emergency dl mode (not normal dl mode, so no technical usb connection... has com port and phone modem) no fastboot no recognizable bootloader but its there no recovery no buttons except power when held (just restarts to the same).

There are a f load of switches that need to be set for the modem to take input (need to find the right ones and still testing from the LGLS740_20140414_LGFLASHv160.dll and lg drivers).
 
Dang man yea mines just gostraight to download mode :( hopefully you come up with something ;)! I'm stuck with the ky9cera hydro for now lol
 
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...ck-partition-table-tool-lg-l90really-t2946323 so this is what I flashed to my volt, like a dumb ass. After flashing the zip and rebooted the phone it went to fast Boot mode, I try to get into recovery but I couldn't so since I was in fastbootmode I went and go head and flashed cwm. So after booting into recovery I did a full wipe down and restore my backup, but it gave me an error saying couldn't restore data ext4 something like that, so I went and go head and flashed the stock ROM and it booted but as soon as the phone boots it ask me for a password to decrypt my phone!! I don't know how that happen when I didnt encrypted it. So I was trying different passwords and nothing, I booted to recovery again and wiped everything again and reflashed the stock rom but after booting I was still getting the type password to decrypt the phone. So I went and go head and do the restore with download mode but once it was doing its thing, once it got to %6 it gave me and error saying partition tables don't match . so I kept trying different ways and kept trying and trying and trying and was still getting the same error. So I try to go back to recovery but this time it won't let me, it just go straight to download mode.

yeah you are at where i am... well the l90 partition table is a bit differnt i think and messing with the part table disrupts boot and goes to emergency mode (looks like normal DL mode). anyways, im almost there. my brick was "connected" and stuck all night.. so im getting somewhere..
 
ok got the comp to see the phone, pretty buggy on virtualbox/win7 but seeing the device..

gonna be trying a few things tonight, with a real win7 comp.
 
its the emergency dl mode (i do not have the laf flashed back from the bootloader unlock). normally the lg flash tool would work but the flash tool does not like modified partitions and halts the firmware take. im using lgnpst tool and i had to mod the dll we have (and hoping i dont have to rip apart the .tot)

im waiting for the boss to leave, soon i'll have a rodeo going here on the windows machine to get this thing working.
 
having issues with the dll, lgnpst made for mostly older phones. i have to go back through both dlls and the random one that the prog does accept and find the issue. once this is done we got a new unbrink method.

on a side note.. anyone know offhand, what partition holds the actual partition table? inside the .tot (really many .bin's inside a .bin file) i can get just the files i need and flash minimal.. another method im working on..,

im working hard on this, but also dealing with work, family, holidays. hopefully have something up by next week. i appreciate any input, suggestions, or anything really.
