-What happens when you remove the battery for a few secs?
-Have you tried to do a hard reset? while the phone is off hold down volumen up and down at the same time, then the power button.

Same here except for the fact that my phone was disconnected by my girlfriend. Literally only way to recover is to replace the device. Try not to tell them that it was while updating because then u have a chance of them telling u to contact the manufacturer since it was an LG mishap. So if they ask just act clueless. That's what I did and am awaiting my new phone to be shipped. Sorry to have to tell u that but not even the downgrade will work. The phone can not use the recovery tool in the tool OR the Update option in LGNPST due to the fact of the model number not being present

that also happened to me but I still was able to recover it buy taking the battery out he could try buy taking the battery out then plug it in c if it would read it mayb I just got luckie lol
yeah nothing works at all..
ok so what exactly should i do? because i know you have to go to the corporate store to get the phone replaced or something right? i needa know step by step how to go about this..
see this exactly what i was talking about in the other thread. about killing you're phone and if it ain't broke don't fix it. doing upgrades and downgrades when there's no need to sometimes. I'm staying on B still there's a real true major upgrade.
during this update to zvd I also was worried something like this might happened and downgrading back to B. hope you can get it working again.

-go to the store, tell them you can't call or text anyone.
-They'll look at your phone, try to do a hard reset.
-Then they'll check for physical and liquid damage.
-They might ask you what were you doing before the phone got to that state, you can tell them you woke up that morning and it was like that, but it was fine when you plugged it to the charger the night before (this is the usual bs i get from my customers when they come into my corp store lol
, and although i know they're lying, i cant really say so)-if they have the phone in stock (not brand new ones), but the replacements that other ppl never picked up, ask them to give you one of those bcz you have no other phone you can use and you need a working phone.
-if they dont have one, they'll order you one and will take up to 3 business days before they receive it. If you get lucky they might no let you walk out w/o a phone and might crack a brand new box for you.
-if they can't order one, worst case scenario, they'll put you on a waiting list
Do all these but be nice about, dont look guilty though lol

well when you try to turn it on though it goes to that same upgrading screen. that kinda gives away the fact that i was updating it lol i really am worried though.
and would it be covered under warrenty?

you're fine. ZVA had that issue, if the battery was removed and reinserted, when the phone was powered on it'd go to that screen. but a couple of reboots later would fix it. thats why ZVB was released and it fixed that issue but caused the powercycling issue. Then ZVC came out and fixed not a damn thing lmao, and now ZVD allegedly fixed the powercycling issues.
yes, it is covered under warranty (at least in the florida market

it just says on that screen unless i take the battery out and then put it back in. do you think keeping it on that screen and letting the battery die out would help do anything?

ehh just tell em what i told em lol
go to corp store and lie, tell them that another store sent you there because you showed them what happened and they tried to place an order for you for a new phone but it wouldn't go through so they sent you there lol the guy should basically just agree and replace on spot! lol
obviously extend & bend the story a little to fit your issue but thats the jist of it

you could let it die. then go and tell them the phone wont power on, and let them figure out and discover the downloading screen. it doesnt really matter. your phone is not working, it needs to be replaced, they wont argue with you

Well the computer will Aida recognize the device. Like I said, I have the same exact problem. The device is being recognized but once the programs open there is a SW Version that says MS910ZVB but there is NO Model Name shown. Technically since there is no model number there isn't any way of the Tool to now what device this is BUT I do believe that they should rely on the SW Version IF the Model Name is not available. This would help out quire a bit. And also, since there is no Model Name tied to the device then LGNPST also wont allow you to access the Upgrade menu because in fact there is no Model Name tied to the device. I wish there was a way to force a device clone from someones device on here. This would fix our problem LoL but to my knowledge there is nothing to make this happen as far as I know.

is there a way to alter the lg update tool so it only does its thing for the eseem lol... like force it to only push an lg esteem update so odds are it will force install whats needed to the device...? just curious... i wouldn't be able to do that if its possible lol

Not really. As pg stated, flashing any kernels or custom roms not built from ZVD will more likely remove the fix. Some ppl, like me, never had the rebooting issue, and i personally keep my phone stock. I flashed a kernel over ZVD, if it removed the fix or not i wont know bcz my phone never powercycled

If u had another esteem you could trick the tool into downloading the update then switch out the phones and put the messed up one on the cable and see if it continued to download and then instal. But i doubt this would actually work

that would work also... it just MUST be the esteem it 'thinks' lol

Then why the hell is everyone so stoked about the upgrade lol...just chill out for a bit and I bet the awesome devs for this phone will have a stock deodexed flashable ROM available in the next few days...and kernels not long after...you peeps are crazy for going and messing up your phones. while everyone here is willing to help when you **** up... I bet everyone here would also much rather have you hit the thanks button because you patiently waited for a flashable ROM instead of messing your shit up.

I successfully upgraded my phone to ZVD and rooted when I was removing the bloatware by mistake I deleted the Power off apk and the odex, I had the ZVC backup of the poweroff.apk and odex but didn't work, can some one send me one please.

try to push them via ADB then reboot
It also upgrades the radio to the new baseband version. That stays even if you downgrade.
