Problem solved I guess...

After hard resetting my device I could not activesync. My pc says device unkonwn (connected device has malfunctioned). I tried to use pocket mechanic on my device to reformat my sd card and it also says "error... a device attached to the system is not functioning". On my computer under driver details - driver node strong name it said ".../baddevice/..."
I tried putting phone in bootloader mode and running KaiserRUU to install new rom device shows serial then plug to PC says USB but nothing happens RUU says no device found or whatever.
I tried to SD flash a new ROM from via bootloader...white screen flashes says No Image File Found! Then goes back bootloader screen...
I would appreciate anyone that can help or point me in the direction of where to get help with this cuz i know and have done all the basics to solve the problem I think and its just not working...
Edit: I just plugged my phone up to the computer using my girlfriends usb cord to her sidekick and wouldnt you know the pc start building a new driver for my device... so i guess even tho the original usb cord malfunctioned or something... funny tho it would still charge my phone and show USB in the bootloader screen... Back to flashing

yes but nobody told you to post it here. The first time you posted it was in Garmin's thread, which is fine because that is the rom you flashed, although, it is not rom specific. You created two additional threads and received enough information to figure it out.
If you haven't figured it out you can always try this:
1) close all windows mobile device center and active sync applications on your pc task manager
2) uninstall windows mobile device center from your pc and reboot
3) reinstall windows mobile device center to your pc
4) insert usb cable into your device
5) when windows mobile device center opens select "connect without setting your device"
6) remove usb
7) reinsert usb then select set up your device
This is how I get active sync to work when I have the issue you are experiencing.

I apologize again just really frustrated... Will try above right now thank you very much for ur help

Well that didnt work... I dont think it is my computer... this has to be something with the device its self... and if anyone knows for sure please let me know wut to do...

What can I say other then Vista Mobile Device Center Sucks Major.
Best way to see if its your device, try to sync it with another computer, borrow a friend's or try at work.
Go in to ActiveSync on your device, and Menu -> Options. Select the Windows PC and Delete. That may help too.

OK. If you can't select Options that Means, i think, that there is no Partnership set up.

when you make changes to your registry and you perform a hard reset everything you altered in the registry resets back to when you flashed the new rom, "fresh out of the flash" sort of speak.

I'm currently running SW Version VS910ZV4. As I was trying to root my phone, a new SW Version tried to start and download. I put it off for another two hours, hoping I could get my phone rooted before that.
Is there any program/method for rooting with the newest software?

The whole reason for me wanting to root my phone was to be able to use the 4G Hotspot. I'm still on the unlimited data plan and would like to be able to use my laptop anywhere with my phone....especially at work.
Is there another way to use the hotspot without rooting your phone? If so, I might go that method.

Yes, I installed them from the PDA.net website.

your using the wrong superone click
go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
now go to the bottom of the post and download superoneclick 1.7
this should get you rooted
make sure you have usb debugging checked. the correct drivers installed for your machine. if on a desktop try putting the usb in the back of your tower

report back with results

Will do....right now I'm running SuperOneClick version 1.7 like you suggested instead of the newer version. I'll just show you what I've got so far. I've been waiting on this screen for about 3-4 minutes now...

Thanks, I'm going to have to give this a try later tonight. I think I just opened a can of worms though.....last night while I was sleeping, the phone upgraded to the newer version. I'm going to have to read the thread where it gets you back to a previous version so I can root it.

Stuck in download mode

Hey guys my friend rooted his virgin mobile optimus elite ( I think its the same as the black) and when he flashed cwm from rom manager and tried to reboot into recovery it went into download mode and got stuck. the computer won't recognize the phone even with the proper lg drivers so we can't push any thing also can't get into recovery with button combo. Any suggestions?

Optimus Black is not like the elite at all (The only thing they have in common is that they look similar - in pictures in real life you can see the elite being smaller)
When I searched for Optimus Elite I got this :

Sounds like your friend got a shot bootloader. Theres nothing that can be done for a LG phone that relies on their update mode with shot bootloader.
Return it to the shops for repair and say you tried to update you phone and your computer lost power during the update and hope they believe you (throw in a few tears about how your life is ruined and you'll never buy a LG product again and you should have nothing to worry about - they'll fix it for you). A failed official update is the only thing that can kill your bootloader that doesn't kill your warranty.
I said all this amusing that the optimus elite uses lg's software update bootloader.
Did you try fastboot yet?

Good day all, I'm the one that OP referenced. Somehow in the process of rooting this guys phone I incorrectly took the Elite and the Black to be the same model. Of course upon looking them up they are obviously different... problem remains that I now have a phone in download mode, windows sees it and loads drivers but no talky. LG mobile support tool attempts to update it but it craps out around 20% heimdall and odin don't negotiate with it. As suggested above it likely is a paper weight and is bound for RTV but as it isn't my phone I'd like to exhaust all efforts before I tell the owner that I bricked his toy.

If fastboot says waiting for device then it's a no go for fastboot. Still not sure why Lg removed it. Its just so convenient.
I can't say I'm suprised to hear Samsung Software doesn't work with a Lg Phone
When you say SFT. What firmware are you trying to flash? What model.dll are you using? All downloads for that I know of got model.dll of Optimus Black included. What method did you use to root in the first place?

rooted with poot, everything seemed fine till reboot at which point I get this lovely download mode screen and nothing else.
I was trying to flash using the official LG tool which auto downloads the firmware I'm not sure which version it is grabbing but no doubt the latest.
as for odin/heimdall, I know, I know...samsung, but I was hoping for some sign of life/port negotiation at least.
and yeah, why they'd do away with fastboot is beyond me, it's fantastic.
so to recap, no ADB(seemingly. nothing in DevMan) no fastboot, no official LG mobile support tool.

Thats good to hear. If you use the proper model.dll with SFT and bin files for Optimus Elite then it should work aswel. SFT is after all just a compact version of LGFlashTool.

HTC Sync didn't help. I have tried a few different driver versions too.
I know how to convert back to stock. I'm just wondering if everything that needs to be done will work with ADB over Wi-Fi. I can not run any fastboot commands.
I'm sure I can figure it all out. I just want to make sure this is a hardware problem first.

I HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME ISSUE! - WITH EXACTLY THE SAME GOAL: making sure it's hardware issue (hopefully not!)
Working:
Fastboot (AC)
Fastboot (USB) - can even execute some commands, etc...
Not working:
USB to pc when on (including ADB)
AC Charging when on. - only charges ( intermittently ) when off, and I just found out it charges ok in fastboot mode)
I don't think our problem is a hardware issue.
How mine started:
used to charge/sync fine, till one day it decided to go crazy (the car-mode/landscape issue, reporting "not charging when in USB OTG mode")
I believe it's got something to do with USB debugging, coz I disabled that, then it worked fine for a few ours, then it stopped charging till now.
If we by any chance find a way to fixed the firmware related to the USB drivers and charging, it might fix the bug.
This is why (I believe) just flashing a new rom / resetting didn't work.
Other things I've tried:
(1) cleaning the usb port and cable with an unused toothbrush (and a tiny bit of alcohol / methylated spirit, let to dry) - worked for a little while
(2) re-calibrating the battery:
(a) using apps for rooted phones - didn't fix
(b) the HTC support way according to the chat guy (press power+VolUp+VolDown for 2 minutes and reboot) - didn't fix
(c) the android central way (pressing power+volume up) for 30 seconds - didn't fix
(d) getting a 3rd party battery calibrating app from the android market (requires root and SU) - didn't work
(3) Factory reset - didn't fix
Now I've just hit a brick wall:
Can't use rumrunner, coz it doesn't support ADB over WiFi, and aren't planning to do so - beaups himself told me that! see this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48996304#post48996304
So that means we have to find another way to get S-off so that we can do what's posted here in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541082&highlight=not+charging
OR to be able to flash USB related custom or stock kernels - which might fix our USB issue (example here:

The thing is my phone isn't going crazy. I'm not having any flaky problems. Everything else works 100%. Even my MHL cable works. Just no OTG, ADB/fastboot, and can't mount my phone to any PC. I have run a few stress tests and they pass.
I just need a way to get s-on back and flash a correct CID. Outside of that I can get back to 100% stock and return it.

I don't know how these two are related, bit I think it's got something to do with my simcard slot.
I manually sliced my microsim form a normal one, and some extra contacts were cut off, and were contacting the sim tray? - anyways, my phone started charging recently from time to time, and this occurs more when i keep my other proper micro sim. I cleaned/brushed the contacts of my locally sliced sim, and it is continuing to charge as we speak. I just thought i put this out there. No harm in trying it yourself...

Thank you

Is....is that ONE sentence? I know you're new here, but if you want people to be able to accurately help you, you need to punctuate so we know what you're saying.
ANYWAY, If you can access the bootloader all is not lost. Have you got adb installed on a pc (windows 7 preferably)? If you do, plug your phone into the computer while in fastboot post the results of the command "fastboot getvar all" and edit out your serial number and imei. From there we might be able to find and run the correct ruu for your device. That might help recover the phone to a working state.

Yes, you can run the commands on a Mac. This post FAQ #3 will explain the syntax. You will need if you don't have them already is the ADB and Fastboot programs. I'm not familiar with the Mac so I don't know how it works on the Mac. The download site will have instructions.

Thank you I'll get that up and running. I also mite be able to get my hands on a windows laptop may work tonight but I'll post a reply with the results of the search thank you again

Hey guys Iv tried on two different computers now but I don't no if it's because the phone is in fast boot but it will not install the drivers for the phone correctly
Do any of you guys know where I could directly install the drivers for the phone from Iv tried downloading htc sync but that didn't work

Follow this procedure to correctly installed HTC drivers on your PC:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If not, follow this guide (thanks to nkk71):
originally from @nkk71: [GUIDE] [02-MAR-2014] nkk71's SuperGUIDE to returning 100% back to stock
follow the below instructions to fix
Open "Device Manager" -> select the unknown "One" -> right-click -> "Update Driver Software ..." -> "Browse my computer" -> "Let me pick" -> "Android USB Devices" -> select "My HTC ..." -> install that
just in case, HTC Drivers can be found here: [Drivers] HTC Drivers for Windows - Several Versions (credits to @mdmower)
though you should already have them since you have been using your phone anyways
for those who like a visual guide:
okay so I did a fastboot boot command, and as you can see it didnt install correct driver
Open "Device Manager"
there's the culprit
right click and Update Driver Software
select Browse my computer for driver software
select Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
select Android USB Devices
select My HTC ... (if you have more than one version, choose the latest)
warning, select Yes
successful installation
now it looks better
and can confirm:
Code:
C:\ADB3>[B]adb devices[/B]
List of devices attached
HTxxxxxxxxxx recovery

It still comes up at unknown device when I connect regardless maybe I should try install it on another computer but I'll install android SDK and htc sync first or is that not the right way to go

Hey guys I'm not sure if Iv made some progress i read somewhere that someone left there's on charge for 4 days and that then calibrated the battery.
When I normally put it on charge the red light flashes at a normal pace and a normal brightness then when the battery logo comes up with the red ! It flashes faster but dimmer.
This morning I thought I'd try a different plug in the wall as mine isn't a htc plug it was a Samsung s3 charger. someone said to try charger it fast with my iPad charger so I used my plug in the wall and my lead left it for two hours and it actually looks like it is charger better the red light is flashing but it's flashing at a normal pace and normal brightness but I don't want to try turn it on incase it starts all over again.
What should I do guys should I just leave it will it try turn itself on or will it just charge

Typically the led will turn solid when charging and the phone will show a battery icon on the screen. Leave it to charge for a while longer see what happens. If nothing changes, turn it on again and try the steps we suggested in this thread.

Still nothing but a blinking light Iv orderd another battery to see if that makes i change altho been told this is a new battery because now it won't charge I can't even get back into HBOOT menu because it's that flat

Is your computer detecting your phone now? it's best not to have HTC sync installed at all as it will interfere with fastboot but shouldn't effect the drivers. You can uninstall HTC sync and leave the drivers installed.
If all else fails use Linux if Linux doesn't detect your phone nothing will. You can boot it from a live usb pendrive from a Mac or PC without altering the main os installed on the computer in any way.
