Hola. Yo hablo español y realmente no te entendí.
Hi. I speak spanish and really I couldn't understand you.
 
Ok, so I follow the instructions, got all my files for MetroPCS F3 (MS659) and when I try to flash, this happens. It starts green and all good, and fails right away (around 4%).

Thanks.

Try the metro pcs unbrick method
Click to expand...

Obvious answer but as I stated in my post, I have all the MetroPCS files. You don't think I will be using the SPRINT method, right? And yes.. I did try it too. :)
But with the MetroPCS method I get wparam:100 lparam:64 and yes, the XML parser has been installed and updated.

Someone else that can help me about why it is stopping at 4%?
Also, it seems that my partitions are screwed up. I tried BoardDiag: AP pass and EMMC fail.
Also, Hard reset doesn't show a menu to apply an update through SD and update.zip. Still I can get into Emergency Mode, Download mode, and even in Qualcomm.
Charging the phone while OFF, doesn't gives me the battery charging pic but a "file battery_charging_something.png can't be found" in purple letters and the battery percentage in purple letters too.

Should I bury now my phone?

Thanks.

Tried 3 different USB data cables (from a Galaxy S4 and a E5 that I have), all USB ports in my laptop and desktop, used 32 and 64 bits machines, dual core to i5. Even put a blessed wooden cross on top of the phone waiting for a "miracle" :)

I'm beginning to think that this phone will make a great tomb stone in a miniaturized cemetery.
 
It may be fubar'd but i'd suggest keep trying. If your phone is a metro pcs, using the sprint unbrick tool won't help. I can speak from experience. Try the t-mobile unbrick files instead of the metro pcs and if that works, go back to metro pcs.

To tell you the truth, I've been at this for almost a week, about 4 hours a day. I'm starting to believe it's FUBAH (FUB All Help). Was a great phone though. Was with me for 3 years without fail.

I'm starting to install all my apps in the Galaxy E5. The S4 is a battery eater...

If ever get the F3 unF..Ked, I will post the results here.

Thanks all and I do have all the files for the F3 (.tot .kdz .dll) as well as all software... if anyone need them.

Has anyone found a solution to the F0000002 error problem? Unfortunately, I ran into it this weekend and used npolite's method quite a few times without success. I have used that unbrick method several times successfully in the past but the F0000002 error is a new one. Also tried restoring from CWM recovery which had all kinds of mounting errors, tried pulling the SD card and reformatting, etc. No luck.
 
Are the links dead? I've decided to break out my old f3 but I'm getting a security error on boot screen. This is the f3 I kept completely stock never flashed , rooted or anything else. I had another one I rooted and installed various ROMs so I'm familiar with the process. Just can't find links to the driver or the firmware. Anyone got a link?

i have the .dll and flash tool set up,, i just need the .bin to flash this . all i can find is the .cab
 
I had tried to follow the extremely confusing guide to setup LG Flash Tool's latest version, after finally getting everything installed and working (all drivers, com port changed to 41, and dlls, verified correct stock rom, etc) I am now running into a problem.

I click manual mode, select the proper files, and go to start it. I click the arrow and it shows 'Ready' in port 1 (comm41). It sits there until I disconnect the phone and plug it back in while in download mode. 'Ready' turns green and off it goes to do it's thing. The problem is that it gets stuck and fails at the same point every time (around 3-4%) at 37 seconds in.

Here is what the end of the log looks like:

I tried other dll files in multiple locations and still the same outcome not matter what I try. There is no custom recovery... actually I don't think there is any recovery mode now since when I try it just shows the android caution dude. Now the phone just sits at the LG logo and does nothing. Is my phone done for? Anyone else have this issue?

Files I am using:
LGLS720_20130509_LGFLASHv151.dll
ROM: LS720ZV7_05.bin

There is another dll I used from someone saying they also were stuck at 4%, it was called wx.dll and that was put into the C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone directory and still no difference.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
