Ok here is where I find myself. This phone belongs to my mother. She has had the F3 for about 3 months. Last week she says it is stuck on the LG / Tmobile screen. I have unbricked a few android phones before and didn't think it would be a huge problem. First I attempted the hard reset. No change still suck on the Tmobile screen. After digging further I found this guide.

I followed all directions to the T and here is the error I get every time I try. WParam:100 LParam:64 / WParam:100 / LParam:0 See log below.

I have seen others with this error and none seem to be able to fix it, they just flash a different way. Next I used the following without any luck.
LG Flash Tool 2014
LG Mobile Support Tool
LG PC Suite
LGFLASHTOOL (used a vm/sprint bin to see if I could just flash anything, same error)

All of the above methods have the same error. They all stop at 4%, hang, then say to restart the phone again (I do and it never works).

The problem I find myself in is it seems for people that get the 4% error the KDZ method seems to work. For the ones that the KDZ wparam errors the Flash tool works. I feel like I'm the only one that can't get either one to work. I have installed all drivers. I have installed the drivers from the guide. I have removed and install the newest drivers because the ones in the guide were old. I have disabled the modem. I have installed and removed .dlls and folders from any post I could find restarting my computer after any change is made. I have used ALL above methods on 3 different PC's. 2 are windows 7 64 bit and the other is win 7 32 bit. All give the same errors in all the same places with no difference. This leads me to believe that the error had to either be with the phone or the software. I have downloaded MANY copies of all the files on different computers to see if they had become corrupted but again no change. I know this is not an expensive phone but I it really upsets me when I am unable to fix something I should be able to fix. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. If I am unable to fix this phone by the end of next week it will go into my vice and I will turn the handle till I feel better!
