Can u get into recovery if u can do a restore from ur back up if u did one
Curtis windsor

I've done the recovery manual select, and the factory reset same results as stated above. This problem is not new or few, I see many reports of it with zero answers to resolve it. Certainly the manufacturer is aware it exists and should include its solution into the reset.

Roadkill dude i loaded the flash onto sd card and into the phone it's still stuck on LG screen, any suggestions. I'm on virgin mobile and my end goal for now is too return it to factory settings. Thanks for assisting me, I'm new to this and had difficulty navigating the site as well as understanding the instructions.

I'm lost as to how to use the flashify. I have the lgls720_2013509_ -thinking it's outdated
