You might have bricked your LG L3 during Cyanogen or other ROM installations or during Rooting process . Here is the method to Unbrick your precious LG L3 and bring it to stock. 

Note: This method can also be used by non-bricked people who wishes to to return to stock firmware. For them, just enable USB debugging on your device, Turn it off afterwards and continue with the steps as mentioned.




Requirements:

  • Download and install LG PC Suite & USB Driver--Link
  • Download Stock Firmware according to your country --Link ( if you didnt get the file, please refresh again and again. I had to do it for about 7 or 8 times )
  • Download KDZ updater--Link
  • Install msxml file found in the KDZ updater folder. The Restart Your PC. ( This will solve the wparam 100 and lparam 6 issue)
  
 

Let's Begin:

  • Get your device into emergency mode --->remove the battery and put is back again and then press vol UP + vol DOWN + power button at once.Then wait for a vibration. Now you will see a emergency mode written on yellow background.
 
  • Connect your LG L3 to your PC using USB cable.
 
  • Next open KDZ updater (Run as Administrator only) and select >>  Type: 3GQCT -- PhoneMode:DIAG 
 


  • Select the .kdz firmware file that you have downloaded in the KDZ file section.
 
  • We are ready to start the process. Click on the "Launch software update" , it will take some time to finish. If everything goes okay, then you will see a "Finished" message in log. Now your phone has been switched off from Emergency mode.
 
  • Next ,turn it on. This will also take some time. Don't worry, its normal the first time.

  9. @jonathan aguda,

    try again and check that you have correct firmware. Wparam iparam 6 would have been removed in most cases after installing msxml. Let me find any other solutions

  19. SOLUTION FOUND FOR:

    1."PHONE WAS NOT FOUND" - need to download last driver for LG L3 from here http://www.nodevice.com/driver/company/LG.html and install them.

    2.Phones keeps restarting - turn it OFF by pulling battery, then power it ON in hard reset mode (press and hold volume down, home and power key). Phone will do hard reset and after few min it will power on and work line new
