[Q] Help me pls.. I think I've really bricked my P990

Hi all kind bros and sis,
Please help me out as I think I've really bricked my less than 2 months brand new Optimus 2X..
You see.. I rooted my P990 using unlock root and chanced upon CM7 and thought of giving it a try. I installed clockworkmod and downloaded the stable release of 7.1 for Optimus 2x.. following the instruction to do a Nandroid backup and proceeded with the Mod..
Not knowing that I need to wipe everything including data.. I just selected the Dalvik cache wipe and proceed with the mod. The process went for more than 15mins and I saw some graphics (the android figure going round and round) but it just stuck there... the screen went blank and when I touched those home or back buttons.. they will lighted but nothing happens. I can't power it off also. So I manually took out the battery and put it back before powering up again. The android picture appeared again briefly for about 1 min and just hanged there. I took out the battery again and this time it was dead.. no matter what I press : vol + and power buttons together; home+Vol+ + power down; Vol- + power down.. all those do not revive the phone.
I tried taking out the external SD card and try powering up. The LG logo appeared and got stuck there.
I searched on Google and found the smartflashtool. I tried that and managed to install the NVidia boot recovery driver and stuff correct. Hold the vol+ button and power key before plugging in but the smarttool did not find the com port or communication driver whatever so I couldn't flash it back to stock.
I'm very desperate and stuck now... did I just accidentally burned the board or something? What bad luck I have
If that's the case, will I still be able to bring the phone back to LG service centre and get it repaired?
Please help me.. any kind souls out there. I really liked the phone and hoped to bring it back. else it's such a shortlived phone... really breaks my heart to see this..
Thanks in advance...

Try using SmartFlashTool, download the LG stock ROM (can be found here in XDA forum, i'll help you find the link), flash the .bin and .fls files.

Turn off the phone. Hold Vol-DOWN while plugging it in. Start Smartflash and see the com-ports magically appear.

Follow trymhansen's instructions. He helped me before with my softbricked phone.

I hope you get your O2X back to life! Keep us posted
Best of luck to you!
PS. I also believe you should pull out the battery after turning off the phone in Trym's instructions. Trym correct me if I'm wrong please.

Hi All,
Thanks for your kind replies. I did follow your instruction. Take out the battery (I removed the ext SDcard as well), press and hold -vol and plug in the phone via USB. Afterwhich start up smartflash tool.. still nothing happens and no com ports are found.. The version of smartflashtool that I used is Dec 2010. Do I need to get the latest one and also the LG united drivers installed?
I also tried starting smartflash tool before the sequence.. still the same. BTW.. my OS is Win 7. Is it supported?
Really at my end's wit. Hope I can bring my phone back to life soon and I'm not really bricking it. I heard Samsung phones are not that easy to brick and can get to the recovery mode pretty easily. is it true?
Please help me.. thanks

Hi bros,
Attached are my screenshots from the device manager and smartflash tool... both seems not able to find the phone and allocate a com port. I've tried installing the latest LG mobile driver 3.6 but no help as well

Have you followed instructions as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070 ?
Also, try to attach your phone directly to computer, using usb ports from computer mainboard. I have experienced problems when attaching it via extension usb cord or attaching it to computer case ports. (I hope that you can understand what I have mean to say with usb )

Hi Memhis,
Yes.. I followed exactly the instructions from the thread and I've plugged into a USB port directly to the computer which is one of the ports in front.. not via any extension or USB hub.. still it did not detect.
I'll try to use another computer which is running Win XP and try again. I've downloaded those 3 files from that thread you recommended try using those instead.. hope it can be detected this time else I think I'll have to send to LG service for repair tomorrow.
I've been jailbreaking and modding my Iphone a lot and everytime whenever there's a near brick situation.. I'm able to fix it but not this time with an Android or LG perhaps... I hope I don't have to go to the extend of using ADB low level to push some files which I saw in one of the thread that one of the guys did that.. but I doubt I can since my windows can't even detect the phone!!
Maybe this will be my first and last LG phone if I ever get it repaired...

launch smartflashtool first, extract the .fls and .bin files, hold down volume at the same time plug in the usb port to your comp. you must see a s/w updating logo in your phone's screen and smartflash should detect your phone. then click start!

Hi mrgian,
I just tried to revive my phone by using the same method on a different laptop running on Win XP.. plugged directly to a side USB port but still no luck. There's no s/w updating logo appearing on my phone and smartflashtool also failed to detect my phone. I've found another thread opened by another user and my situation is exactly the same as his :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161583
But lucky for him is that he's able to get it working after changing to another PC but I've tried 3 different machines and no luck so far...
I'll try to use the NVflash as a last resort and see if I've any luck with NVflash at all.. If it failed again.. I think I've no choice but to send it to the repair centre for servicing then..

Yes.. I've installed the latest LG united mobile driver version 3.6. Any wrong with that version... Really don't know where / what is missing or my phone is really fried after just one mod attempt?
I've also tried NVflash and it's stuck at the "bootloader initialization" screen....
Nothing appeared on the phone... not even LG logo. Can't believe LG phones are so fragile and unmodifiable

try to charge the battery first...power off your device and charge it...maybe leave it charging for about 1hr even if you dont see anything on the screen( i believe after plugin the charger you will see the charging logo but it will disapear after a few seconds)...after 1 hr unplug and try to check if it will boot to clockwork recovery...if yes then just do complete data wipe...also try installing the ext3 back.zip, it will help delete system files(sometimes CWR is not deleting this)...hope this help

When you say an USB port in the front do you mean an USB in the back? Because the ones in front are the case ones, the ones in the back are the good ones, i.e. the ones that are directly attached to the mobo.

How to enter CWM? I can't even power up the phone and no reaction at all when plugged into USB via smartflash.. the screen remains black. It's liked the whole phone is burned or something... but strange thing is that it can detect APX and asked to install drivers... but after successfully installing the Nvidia boot recovery driver.. the com ports does not get discovered.. What is wrong?

I plugged in the phone with battery but there was no charge logo or whatever.. the screen remains blank.. I'll try to leave it charging and see what happens. But I've remembered there was still about 80% power when this disaster happened and I've taken out the battery since.. so the charge should have remain? Btw.. where can I get this ext3 back.zip and how to use it? thanks

To to reboot to recovery via "adb reboot recovery". If this isnt working, how about flashing another ROM again? And did you try emergency recovery in B2C tool?

Upgrade to v20n/o/s??It could also be a bad flash or the firmware has a problem.

How about OnScreenPhone (OSP)? It is a LG software, which allows you to control your phone from your PC, without using the display of the phone. See reference here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_1P1ELNz9g
Another PCB? what do you mean with this?

He means what most people would usually call mainboard xD
They're all PCBs - Printed Circuit Boards
Btw, if the phone boots, and the display can work on another device...
I never disassembled my OB, but does it have any flex cable pluging the PCB to the LCD? Did you check it? Does the LCD have background light but not contents?

My OB is like this too after flashing a custom rom. I flashed a stock rom using LG updater and booted successfully but still no display. I can hear sounds, I can connect to LG On-screen Phone, the signal is working fine but I cannot received any call and text msgs. I tried flashing using smart tool and successfully flashed a stock rom but when turned on the phone is just blank and leds are flashing. I tried replacing my LCD but technician said the LCD is fine but still no display..

[Q] Galaxy Pop/Mini half hard bricked (can go into a strange mode) Experts Neede

Hi everyone!
Here is the entire list of things I had done before I bricked it. Can some expert please read through and help me? I really need help!!
So as you can read from the title, this phone, the Galaxy Pop/Mini is bricked. It does not turn on at all, even if I press the power key only or the Power+home+vol.down. Needless to say, I have no download mode . The problem started after I flashed the PACman ROM, which didn't turn out that good, so I re-flashed the original firmware using ODIN. It said PASS, but then when it rebooted, the phone got a boot loop. It kept on rebooting again and again. As I have an Xperia Neo V as my primary device, this issue usually meant a wrong kernel to me. So I downloaded "Galpop_kernel_build2" and now when I press the power button or any of the combinations, the screen does not light up. There is no response.
So I tried the Heimdall One Click Unbrick, and it shows me this error:
Is Your Phone Plugged In?
Is It In Download/Softbrick Mode?
If the phone is Plugged In and Everything Is Fine,
Visit the Resolution Center in order to resolve the issue.
So I clicked on the button, it asked me to install 3 things, which I did, no luck. So I was finally going to give up, when I accidently pressed the volume up+ Power+ Home keys. Nothing happened on the screen, but when I connected it to my PC, Windows started installing some drivers! It went well, and even ODIN detected the phone (Yes, there was the Yellow Box), so I quickly tried to flash the original firmware, but it got stuck on "setup connection...". I read somewhere that this was a driver issue so I tried to uninstall and re-install the drivers, no luck.
So now, the phone does not turn on, but goes into this strange mode where it gets detected by ODIN, but cannot be flashed. I'm doomed! Can someone PLEASE HELP!!???

I did, I am on a different PC right now, installed all drivers etc. But I just realized... I think I might have flashed the Pop Plus kernel...
Since it is ultimately the low level OS, maybe that is preventing it from starting? Is there a way to forcefully flash a different kernel? :'(
Also, the strange mode that it used to go into is gone now.. I cannot make the PC recognize the phone at all now, and the phone does not power up. So I'm kinda in a doomed position right now..:crying:

The mistake was the kernel flashing. If something is not booiting you need to wipe data/cache. This works with stock ROM too.

Then no idea. I thought maybe you don't know where was the mistake so that's why I wrote it.

Oh yes..I guess I'll have to go there.. BTW, what should I say? My phone is still in warranty, but I don't have the papers etc right no, since I'm in college.
I read somewhere that they will change your motherboard for free if in warranty, but how much would it cost? I was thinking of telling them that Kies did this

As I asked someone else too, how much do you think it would cost if I don't have the warranty papers right now? It still is in warranty though..
And what did you tell them that convinced them that you were innocent?

I also had a problem where i had to get my motherboard changed when i asked the samsung people they said it'll cost Rs. 4000 for changing the motherboard so it'll be better if you find your warranty papers and don't worry just tell them that the phone's not working don't tell them about the rom flash stuff they'll repair it for free if you have your warranty papers..

If you really did everything and in a right way, you can start to build a new house because you have the first brick already.But...it's not so easy to brick a phone with SFT.If you really followed the rules for Smart Flash Tool it's practically impossible.I know that people tend to panic in such situations and do something wrong in a rush.Well, take the battery, sim card and memory card out of the phone; hold the volume up button and then plug your usb cable( sure that cable and contacts are okay ), which is pluged in your computer with SFT opened; sometimes the phone enters in s/w mode in a second but sometimes needs five.Then flash a GB rom or anything you want.If nothing will happen is very much possible that you have a hardware problem( something similar happened to me when my motherboard was fu.ked and this is quite common with P970 ).Good luck.:fingers-crossed:
P.S. Are you talking about SE arc or LGE P970?

Did you maybe flash a wrong ROM? Double check please. Whats the name of your kdz file? Where did you get it from? Did you interupt the update procedure? Or did it get interrupted?

Are you sure you used the v10G for P970? Cause otherwise only and interruption could cause such a hard failure...

Well, the phone goes in bootloop when you flash patched files with recovery and then forget to flash Superuser.You must not boot your phone when it enters in recovery after flashing with SFT but flash Superuser from your SD card first.I think that this maybe was your first problem.But LG logo and flashing leds are also a very possible sign for a faulty motherboard.The same happened to me with one week old P970 with official firmware and not rooted, when I tried just to reboot the thing.And if your phone died after this, you can be 99.9% sure that you have a fu.ked motherboard.

*NEW* girlfriend's BRICKED Optimus Black. REVIVING METHOD?

Its maybe 4 months since she bricked her OB to death:
>>>no lights when charging
>>>cant boot to recovery or any other boot or S/W upgrade
>>>she cant remember what she exacly did.
###### she told me she installed some cm9 or 10 rom way back then and formatted system ,data,emmc and something like that...
###### its like the EMMC PROBLEM I got on GALAXY NOTE GT N7000 that when you do wipe data on unsafe kernel, you will BRICK your Phone to death <<see death meaning above :thumbup:>>
is there some WorkAround for it?
no warranty because its over...
LG service center is toooo far because its a 10 hour drive to nearest LG service center.... (mainly becuse of Poverty)
and I may have a very gooooooood February 14 if I can bring it to life...
for LOVE of VALENTINE give me hope... :thumbup::beer:

have you tried to download LG Mobile Support Tool?
Install it, Open it then remove the battery for a second, put it back long press on VOLUME UP while inserting USB CABLE then on top of that tool look for RECOVERY enter your phone's IMEI and Model press OK and wait.. .

same problem

Use smartflashtool and maybe check your drivers and if you are able to, try it at another pc as well.
