hi guys, I need your help, I have a lg optimus black, and installed the 2.3.4 version of the android official v20n, and did not like because I still had no way to root, so I wanted to return to the android 2.2, before returning did a factory reset, so that when the phone restarted he only stayed on the screen of lg, i removed the battery and put back, the phone rang often, but now, all life that I hang up and call him again he is on the screen of LG, then I have to remove the battery, wait a while, and there again put the phone connects normally, but I'm worried, because all this started after I did a factory reset, help me please.
Thanks in advance.
Now my phone does not pass the screen of lg or removing the battery, help me!
Well, it is very important to factory reset after you downgrade. Use search, everybody recommends it.
read unbrick guide
I have used the method of cell brick, and to no avail, I'm about to give up.
Someone else could help me?

Do THIS exactly step by step and it'll work.
If not, you're doing something wrong.
does your phone go to "software update" state after pluging the cable in while holding volume up button?
give us more info about what is happening...
I've used this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803, I tried to use their own software lg, went into the mod emegência, typed my imei, I put the model, I hit vol + and put the usb cable, the screen s / w upgrading, and made the process, but to no avail it does not leave the screen lg, I'm almost sending him into the service.

So do you get to the screens where it says software Update or so? If you get there, I would try to do the trick at another PC, since it doesnt seems to work on all operating systems. Mine e.g. with win XP wouldnt wanna do it once, but with Win 7 64 bit I was able to do it.
Can you give us a screen, where we can see ur screen when connected to USB while holding Vol UP button?
And not only HIT the vol UP button, but hold it, until the software update screen comes up. Otherwise it wont get there
Man is and my windows 7 64 bit, I've tried all processes.
Lg Software update
v10b my lg optimus black came with version 10b, this did not work.
KDZ
v10a
v10b
v20n
Also failed.
Smartflash tool
v10a
Nor did it.
I do not know what else to do anything more than right.
Anybody from your country here? Who can try to fix it for u? If not, you can also send it to me, just write a message... or give it back to lg support center

I tried the latter case, the program hangs there, the phone restarts and is the logo of lg.
LOL! You need to upload the picture to somewhere and post the link then or go to advanced settings and the paperclip and upload it this way Since this is a Local path on your disk only
kkkkkkkkk, sorry. kkkk
Could you upload it in better resolution (higher quality), since I cant read anything at all... And pls discribe whats written there in red and other important messages in spanish (at least I think it is ) since my spanish also aint the best/ I never spoke it
And btw, its normal that it gets stuck at 4%, just try again, wait till phone reboots and enjoy otherwise you know what to do

Hi davifs, the smartfash tool should have solved your problem.
Today I made the V20N to V10 even with factory reset it boot looped.
With SmartFlash problem solved.
Give us more info.
Related
So, lets start at the begining.
Today I was testing the new android build from 20nov.
Everything went fine until restarting my phone into windows. The phone did boot properly, exept the screen stayed off.
Touch input did work.
After a couple of restarts everything was back to normal and i picked up the testing from the android build again.
However, a later on the same problem arised. This time more persistent.
Also the led wouldn't go on anymore when charging the phone...
After 30 tries of rebooting a decided to hard-reset the phone by holding Vol down+up and power. Then waiting a while (because i couldn't see what was happening) and then pressed vol up to hard reset.
Then waited like 5 minutes and then tried to boot again by holding the power button.... Nothing
Then waited another 5 minutes, pulled out the battery and tried another boot.
No succes either.
Bottom-line now.
The phone is dead, won't react to anything, no charging no booting.
What can I do???
No stock rom, so i guess no warranty???
Really hope someone can help!!!
Ouch , you're right about the no guarantee rule but i don't know what u could do ..
Best of luck pal.
Maybe anyone got any experience with garanty+ a flashed rom.
Who brought therte phone back with a flashed rom without telling HTC and got their warranty?
Would be great if that worked (a)
Can you do anything with phone? Try taking battery out for 24hrs before re-inserting it and attempting to reboot. If you can still do nothing with device you may have bricked it and only thing which can be done is to return it, though warranty void. Have you tried asking within Android thread to see if anyone else has had similar issues?

Thanks for the battery tip, i'll try that!
about an hour ago i did get a little response from my phone. It vibrated after pushing the on button!
And then nothing....
This only happens when the phone is not connected to usb(charger or pc, no difference).
I did post my problem in the android thread, however no response.
I'll also PM phhusson about my problem. Would be nasty if more people would brick their phone.
Still like to hear some experiences with the garanty-service of HTC if anyone has got any
if it is so "dead" nobody can say if the ROM was original or not. let them think is a hardware problem and replace yr device!!

Well that is probably what i'm gonna do/try if I can't reanimate is myself
Just hope there really is no way of telling by HTC themselves...
Maybe try to see if you can flash a ROM image on it again from the SD card - doing it blind, there are only a few keys to press to reflash, maybe the screen is not working but the device powers up occasionally ?

Try to flash a new cooked rom. Remove battery, then wait 30 secs, then put back battery and push volume down and power button simultaneously. Then you can flash a new rom.
It worked for me.
(sorry for my "english")
intresting
so, tried to flash via RUU.exe+connecting to my pc.
What I did:
-Vol down+power button
-connect phone to my pc via usb.
-run RUU.exe with a dutty rom
-then RUU says it couldn't find my phone.
However, my pc (windows 7) does!
But not how it is supossed to do it.
Check out the screen to see what i mean.
Maybe something more can be doen now? Anyone knows what is going on here?

Maybe you just need to change drivers??? Becouse sometimes Vista change it by itself, so I think 7 can work in the same way?!
Try it, as far as can see from your screen there are no drivers installed
""Manufacturer: Unknown
Device Status: The driver for this device are not installed.""
Go to - Windows Mobile Device Center, then select - Mobile Device Settings, Connection Settings, then uncheck - Allow USB Connections.
Normally this would be ticked to allow syncs etc but to flash a rom it needs to be unchecked.
I cant tell from your post if you have done this or not.
Hope it helps.

I don't really think it's compulsory to uncheck this. I have it checked and flash my roms without any problems.
But Blackstone is not a friend of Seven at first. You have to tell him to recognise the other.
I have installed the windows-mobile device center from microsoft website and then Windows 7 recognized my HD otherwise I got the same problem as you (no driver).
Hope it can help !

You may be right but mine will not work with the check mark still on.

It does look like a driver issue. Follow this thread to get the necessary usb drivers.
Do you have the Hspl? If yes can't you try flashing from the sd card? (The connection issue you showed is when you are in active sync mode, isn't it?)
Have you tried to flash an original ROM? It should work regardless of your USB connection settings and if you manage to do that and still no life in your hd - you can return it with warranty. And one more suggestion - find a XP machine to do this. Btw - flashing through the SD card is a very, VERY good idea.
succesfull flash, no result.
First of all, a huge thanks to you guys!
The idea's and help u came up with really made my day.
Second, I got to flash my phone. With the right drivers installed everything worked like it supposed to work.
However, the same problems still persist....
So I think this problem is deeper then rom orientated (ideas?)
Anyhow, now I'm able to flash a original rom to my phone, which should help my warranty!
Great job guys, kudos to you

I already tried flashing through the SD card. Normally this is the way to go for me, but it didn't seem to do any good this time (not sure if I performed it correctly, since my screen is "dead")
I'm a bit confused... you managed to flash rom? So your sync works? (on the other side you say your screen is dead?)

As I have been searching around on here for a while now it may seem my Tab has bricked. To make a story short, my tab kept freezing and restarting to the point it would stay on the Samsung screen and just restart over and over again.
Previous cures have been to just wipe it and install the stock firmware but after a while it will happen again. Well now while going through the process again it basically froze in the middle of flashing and lost connection to the computer.
Now I get this on my screen. Does it mean its bricked? I can't even get to the Down Load Screen at all. Can it still be flashed? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Oh ok. So this would be considered a service screen then. So I am not totally effed in other words? Sorry if this was a noob question that has been answered already.
Its strange though because I followed that guide to the "T" and it would still hang and give me the error screen as I have searched ( the cant find the BIN file error as well ). Ok then I will keep trying. I believe I read a post about loading it several different ways. I have never seen this screen before. Thanks again and sorry for a noob post.
This screen means you are still in download mode. Flash away!
Oh ok. Thank you both for the help. Thought I was screwed.

If you get it working, I have a Viewsonic G-Tab if you want to trade!
Ooooo I will for sure get it going!!!!
What model do you have a GSM or CDMA?
Soft bricks may still be flash using Odin or heimdall but make sure that the rom not the locked version (zImage, boot.bin, sbl.bin).
odin use if you want to repartition.
I have the original files from the SPH-P100 gtab CDMA version which I get with a roto-backup method
It's a Sprint Tab. Every time I try it, it just wont let me. ODIN keeps failing and the other method keeps telling me it can't find the BIN file. Frustrating me.......
I tried both methods that I have off hand and it just wont do it. I am starting to think its an issue with my computer but it detects the tab though when in ODIN or the other non-ODIN way which I find strange. I have flashed it before with no problems but this just started to happen now.
k0sh, I just noticed your thread you have going and noticed #34 ([GUIDE] Sprint sph p100 stock firmware RECEOVERY: last resort.) This may be my last resort. Will give it a try when I get home.
Its always best to get back to stock after a flashing nightmare.

Is there a dbdata file for your rom? For other roms, when you don't flash that file you get a bootloop. Anyone know what I am talking about?

Are you talking about when it just reboots over and over again in the Samsung screen because that is what mine would do. And yes this tar I got has a dbdata file.
Well I am relieved! Ok I read over the Heimdall and did everything as the thread stated. It still told me it failed right off. So being the persistent noob I am I went ahead and took the tar file from the "No Modem" Stock tar file and used ODIN one more time. To my surprise it began to take it in. Crossed both finger and it finished with a PASS! I tried holding the Vol Down and the Power Button and I now have my Download Screen back! Turned it off and I tried turning it back on and bam! Got the Samsung Screen back on. I now have my Tab back! Currently charging again. Going to install all the Stuff I had on it before.
Happy to say Brick aborted! One more Tab out and about again.
be careful not to use the wrong rom,
I backup the stock rom DJ30, complete files
but cannot send URL (To prevent spam to the forums, ALL new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. After approximately eight posts, you will be able to post outside links. Thanks for understanding!)
you can pm me if you need the link (4shared)

Another lost to the dark side of rom manager. Rip the poor thing.
Firstly..CWM ROM Manager?
and ROM manger for partition? all you needed was the CWM Recovery.
We have stickies here for a reason and if you dont read them, do not create new threads when you have problems..

This actually happened to my phone. Is it a known fault? Is there a way to repair it without taking it to a service centre 30 miles away?
Your device wont turn on?
I wonder why?
Perhaps its got something to do with the fact that you have broken your device into pieces. Not literally but oh well u get the point.

If you're responding to me, I don't get your point. I haven't broken it into pieces, literally or otherwise. I haven't modified the OS in any way since I got it. I plugged it in to charge. It is meant to be able to charge.
You're ace is brick go to repair centre if you have the warranty just say you don't know how this happen, or buy a new phone...

i face that problem too, after i search the entire thread in this forum then i found this method. try this, maybe it can help :
- pull out your battery
- press the vol down+home+power n in the same time then pull in your battery (if you can't do it alone, ask somebody to help you pull in the battery)
- wait (n pray maybe ) until download mode appear
hope it can help you..:fingers-crossed:

Come on everyone!!
Rather than making snide comments, we SHOULD be helping him.
Here, check this out it helped my friend when he bricked his SGA.
Un-Bricking SGA
And remember, from now on use CWM Recovery, or if you want then use ODIN,
BUT NEVER, EVER USE ROM MANAGER. IT'S THE SHINIGAMI FOR OUR PHONE!!!

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)

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.
Fastboot returns: <waiting for device>

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.
I'm about to follow: "forums androidcentral com/optimus-elite-rooting-roms-hacks/214686-unbricking-your-vm-sprint-elite-phone-using-official-tools-dll-bin-files.html" :silly:
UPDATE: I've got it working again, the method described in the above link(despite the authors poor english and wretched instructions) ultimately worked. Took several tries but eventually I was able to get it back to stock.

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.
My Galaxy S Advance dead after software update. I was getting again and again bugged by this notification saying a software update is available. so i finally updated and after the download completed it asked for a reboot and i pressed yes. Once it shutdown it is not starting back up. I dont know what to do. Plz Guyz help me.

Did you make sure there was sufficient battery before updating ?
Does adb detect the device ?

I will try those. Thanks for the suggestion.
Anyone else installed that update? Because i did, and after instaling the update files in recovery mode the phone rebooted and now is dead, and by dead I mean no charging, no download mode, no recovery.... not even that short vibration when you push the power button
Never use ota updates with custom recovery!

I had stock recovery, maybe the problem was the XXLD1 open europe firmware I flashed insted of my region firmware XXLF4. Now I'm just curios what that update (17.8 mb) was suposed to change

You probably downloaded a corrupt update .
I give up writing anymore signatures.
Hello, this is my first post here on XDA
A friend of mine has the same problem like the OP and "opthy":
I installed the XLD1 FW over his old FW because of rooting (without increasing the binary counter). I said to him he shouldnt do FW Updates OTA from now on. And what do you think he did, huh? :silly:
The phone rebooted into recovery he said, did the FW update and tried to reboot, but it couldnt reboot. He gave it to me, and I tried to get it into recovery = didnt work! Tried to get it into Download-Mode = didnt work! The phone does nothing now, i tried to charge it, but the screen stays black.
I just wanted to ask you, if theres anything I can do. All things that have to do with download-mode e.g. ODIN or recovery via KIES cannot work because I cant put it in download-mode.
Thanks in advance
5-7
P.S.: Im an P990 owner and I had many many problems with it until I got it working properly, but such a problem, that the screen always stays black and the device is "not a bit" booting, I never had before

Could You share any changes you notice after the upgrade??
The update have also popped on my phone yesterday. Is it really safe to update? By the way mine is XXLD1 and the update is to XXLK2. I'm really scared to update because I bought my phone from the grey market(much cheaper hahaha). Another reason is I want a white SGSA and the only one available was from europe and I'm in the Philippines so warranty might not be on my reach.
Is it worth the upgrade? cause if its not the I would just wait for the JB update next year.
