Some accidents happened during upgrading. My phone was stuck at emergency mode for 10 mins, I then released the battery. After that the phone is completely dead, no response after pushing the power button.

Also tried Home + Volume Down + Power for 15 seconds, no response at home.

is it completely dead?

Nothing as in keypad doesn't light up or backlight doesn't come on?

Completely dead?

EDIT - If you have no response at all, then I believe it's dead. Call TMO they'll probably send you a new phone if it's still under warranty

If you're stuck in fastboot then you can unbrick it.

My phone has been returned, and now it can be turned on. However, I am stuck at "Security Error, Emergency Call Only" mode, no way to turn it off. I tried to remove the battery, and tried to hard reset the phone once more, but no rescure. what is going on here?

Any clue and solution will be appreciated.

How do you keep bricking your phone?

If your phone is stuck in Emergency mode you can fix it yourself.

P.S. - LG isn't going to play this game forever.

No, you didn't get it. I did not do anything this time. The phone stucks at "Emergency Call" ever since it has arrived. It is not the Emergency Mode.

Wow, so much for Quality Control. I hope you have a backup phone. Sorry to hear about your troubles.

I gave myself a scare last week when I got stuck in Emergency Mode after flashing the latest TWRP. First time I've ever experienced it. I've since gone back to good 'ol AmonRa and I'm a little hesitant now.

artard - Is your T done? No lights, power, nothing?
Your Gravity should be fine but I understand the frustration.

Anyway, check out swappa.com is you're looking for a quick cheap replacement.
