Do wipe and wipe data cache for PC!

Do wipe and wipe data cache for PC! - LG Optimus Black

I wonder if there is any way to wipe data cache and wipe the PC, this might solve the problem of my OB did not exit the screen of lg.
Thanks to those who respond.

While bootloop, connect your phone to pc then bring up command prompt. Go to folder where your adb located then type "adb reboot recovery" without hastag.

[Q] Help. Thrill wont boot (at&t logo), messed up pretty good

1. Rooted
2. Don't think I had USB Debugging on prior to this situation
3. Didn't flash a rom (dont even know how)
4. don't have clockworkmod
I installed the root required app LCD density changer by beansoft... tried permanently changing my lcd density (resolution) to 200, looked back at phone several minutes later and it was stuck on the at&t logo. I didn't do a backup like they said, in case anything goes wrong (didn't expect anything to go wrong.........). Now, everytime I try to boot my phone, i get stuck at the At&t logo screen (NOT infinite loop... just frozen logo). I have tried factory reset multiple times... but ofcourse that didn't work because that doesn't affect system preferences ( like the density/resolution).
Beansoft suggests this to fix the issue... but i can't get it to work
densitychanger.blogspot.(com) (towards the bottom, where the highlighted green text is)...
How can i get that file onto my phone's memory? My phone wont even turn on. I tried putting it on the microsd card, but the file doesnt show up in recovery.
Someone please help me... I just want my phone working again... By whatever means... Flashing a new rom, the update.zip method by beansoft... idk ... just want it working...
HELP :'(
P.S. I dunno how to work adb... every time i try and use it, i get the "device not found" thing... ( i have the drivers installed)... So if that's how I have to fix my phone... PLEASE be very descriptive in instructions....

Well looks like you're kinda screwed since you don't have clockwork installed, I'm not sure if you can install a new ROM... but have you tried EVERYTHING in android recovery?
If you don't know how to get to recovery... it's Hold down volume key + 3d + power, until it vibrates then use arrow keys to move around and 3d to select if you dont have clockwork...

Do you havet the emergency mode like most LG smartphones?Here is how you check pull out the battery and the plug it in(so your phone turns off) and then hold down the volume up +voulume down and power button if it worked you should see a yellow screen and a "Emergency mode!!" title.Then google for a kdz update tool and a kdz firmware for YOUR phone.You will also need the LG mobile united drivers.If you are on windows go to control panel and disable the lg modem.Then connect your phone(in emergency mode) to the computer open the update tool then click on select KDZ and navigate to your KDZ then in phone mode select emergency_something iys the only one.Than click flash KDZ and after about 5min your phone should reboot and it wilk work.Its importiant to note that you will lose everything on your phones memory its like you flash a rom you start out fresh you also loose root.Good luck!

Im having the same problem as the person before me, but my phone is stuck on the lg logo screen. My phone is rooted and I do believe I have installed clockworkmod when root manager asked me to. My phone froze on me while going through the root manager app, when I tried formatting it through the reboot screen I ended up with E: can't mount CACHE:recovery/ command, E: can't mount CACHE:recovery/log, and E: can't open CACHE:recovery/log.

You don't have clockwork then.That is your stock recovery.I had this problem too.I flashed the wrong recovery and i got stuck on the LG logo.I fixed it using fastboot flasher idk is it the same combination but on my phone it is volume up+call+power button.Uf it is correct you should see a sign saying fastboot mode udc_start or something like that then use the fastboot flasher to flash a recovery image for your phone.After the flash is complete reboot your phone but first do a NORMAL boot so you can see if the problem is solved.If it worked then you can safely boot into recovery.

Thank you for your support guys, but as it was to difficult, I just got a new one from at&t

I am in similar situation but I am rooted AND I have CWM on my phone. I can boot into recovery just fine and install from sd card and all that jazz but when I try to boot normally I don't get past the LG logo. It just hangs there forever. Do I just have to get a flashable ROM onto the SD card and boot into recovery and flash??
I have already tried wiping data, cache and dalvik to no avail.
Any suggestions??

I rooted phone, everything fine. I flashed CWM, everything fine. When I rebooted system from CWM then phone booted but hung at the LG logo. Now only thing I can do is boot into recovery or boot to the LG logo for hours... Don't even know how this could have happened as I haven't flashed anything, just root and CWM...

Galaxy Note Dead ??

Well here's the whole story:
Day before yesterday my PC broke so I used my Note as a temporary replacement of PC.
I hooked up my Note via MHL cable on 24” PC monitor. Everything worked fine – I browsed the
web, read forums via TapaTalk and watched one episode of series that I normally watch.
I left MHL cable attached to phone all night to charge it. I only turned off phone screen and naturally
MHL connection stopped working and monitor went to standby.
In the morning everything was fine. I played NFS Most Wanted for around hour via MHL cable.
Later I connected my home speakers to audio out on phone to listen Tune-In radio. Again I left MHL connected to phone and just turned phone screen off. because if it's on and MHL connection is alive it
consumes more power than charger connected to MHL can provide so it's discharging battery. I left it so and went to take care of some things.
When I got back and tried to turn on the phone screen was black but capacitive buttons lit up, and touch was working fine, I could hear ripple effect of my lock screen and picture of it showed up on my 24” monitor, so I restarted phone “on blind” - touching black screen on phone and watching my touches on 24” monitor that was still connected via MHL.
After this action my phone was dead.
It wont to turn on – no sign whatsoever – no sound, no vibration, screen wont to turn on.
If I connect phone to charger there's no reaction.
If I try to enter recovery or download mode result is the same – no reaction
But there's little hope: after I pulled out the battery and left it like that over night, in the morning I managed to get in download mode and flashed stock 4.0.4 firmware via Odin – but again phone wont boot and I cannot enter download or recovery mode. I must pulled out battery and wait 6-8 hours, after that I got one chance to boot to download mode. Not sure if I can boot to recovery mode since I tried this only once.
Bottom line I can try to claim my warranty but first I must format my internal storage because prior
my phone broke I was running Ultimate 5.1 ROM based on JB leak and I have stuff like titanium backup, cwm folders and I think that I also have .zip of Ultimate ROM on my internal – so enough
evidence that I wasn't on stock unrooted Samsung firmware and I can lose my warranty if in repair center somehow manage to boot up my phone and find this stuff on my internal memory.
Any tips or tricks how to revive my phone ??
Sorry for longer post but I wanted to explain everything that happened before my phone died.

Charge your battery and then use Jig usb, if it isn't hardware fault or isn't bricked by wiping while on stock ics it will go into download mode,
this Jig cable solved a lot of this issues

as evaworld suggested first use jig it should work.. if it doesn't then claim warranty from service centre and they don't care what you have in your internal memory they will format everything after fixing the problem whitout looking into your device internal storage

But as i wrote in first post I can enter download or recovery mode if i pull out battery and wait 6-8 hours. I don't need USB jig for that.
So if I enter recovery on stock ICS ( my phone has insane chip ) I should just wipe data/factory reset OR is it better to flash stock GB and than wipe ?
But to me this looks like hardware failure not like bricked device... Because when i flashed stock rom via odin ( and checked auto reboot) phone wont to boot... Just black screen... no sign of life...

Charge ur battery outside of the SGN.
With hdmi cable u can't charge ur phone, he is just giving u extra electro supply so ur note can run TV/HD screen with hdmi cable.
Because this happened while u were connected to ur monitor, settings were stored like u are still connected with it (this is bug on some ICS and JB ROM's).So charge ur battery outside the note, when charged, boot ur phone with hdmi cable plug into note and screen.
After that u should be able to solve ur problem.
If not we will try something else.
:highfive:

Ok. Battery is fully charged with external charger. Will try this trick around 02:00 when I get home from work.
One more question: I can get to stock recovery tried that yesterday - should I wipe/data factory reset since i have insane chip? I'm not on ICS as I wrote in first post but on stock JB leak nonrooted with stock recovery.

Stock JB kernel is still not confirmed safe. So no. Flash a safe kernel first.

How to flash safe kernel when I'm nonrooted and have only stock recovery? Is there kernel that i can flash via odin?
Sent from my Skate using Tapatalk 2

Yes Philz kernel for the JB leak. This can be flashed via stock recovery and it will provide you the safety

Can you provide link to Philz thread? I'm on TT and search is not working like it should.
Thanks.
Sent from my Skate using Tapatalk 2

Sure
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1901191

OK. Just flashed Philz kernel and recovery. In the morning I will do a wipe.
Should I wipe only:
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
OR i should go full wipe ( system, preload, internal sd card) and again flash stock ROM ??

If you are going to flash a new rom then select the "clean before new rom flash" option from Philz settings. That will clean the old rom.
Then you can go to advanced and select reboot download.

Ok here's what I did in the morning:
-wipe data/factory reset
-wipe cache
-wipe dalvik cache
-reboot system
System booted, I could hear boot sound and capacitive buttons lit up but there's nothing on phone screen - it's black but touch is working. When I connected phone to MHL cable picture shows up on monitor.
So that means that GPU is working, but also i know that touch & screen are working fine in recovery so why i can't get picture on phone screen?
Sent from my Skate using Tapatalk 2

Something messed up in the mhl switch. You could try flashing the rom again using PC odin in download mode.
And before flashing the new rom, make sure you follow the steps I mentioned above for a clean install.

Ok. Thanks for reply.
Now I must wait around 6h before I can try again - to enter recovery and do all wipes and another 6h to enter download mode to flash rom.
Will do all necessary wipes and also format internal sd card - probably have lots of junk there...
Sent from my Skate using Tapatalk 2

Yesterday I turned phone on, let it boot to os (screen still was black but I could hear boot sound ) and copy my data via USB cable.
Then i shut it down.
After 6h i tried to enter recovery - no luck. After 8h i tried again - still no luck.
Now it seems that phone is completely dead.
I will wait 24h before trying again.
What to do if still won't to show any signs of life?
Sent from my Skate using Tapatalk 2

Don't know why you have to wait for such a long time. Any ways just make sure battery is charged.

Well I finally managed to enter recovery and do all necessary wipes:

Only left to try stock GB. But on sammobile there's no GB for download. Where I can find stock GB for download ?

there are GB firmware on sammobile. dont use the search there. use the drop down menu and select note and your region.
You should have tried to flash a stock ICS or GB rom using download mode..

[Q] Wi-fi issues - my own home wi-fi is out of range

I have an HTC Vivid. I rooted and unlocked it about 2 months ago. I haven't flashed any roms or anything like that (I also have no idea how to- I only rooted and unlocked my phone to get apps that required it). Recently my phone has said that my own wifi is out of range - event though it isn't. If it helps I'm on at&t internet and have a 2wire router. Thanks in advance!

Is it just your router that's out of range? It picks up other routers?
Have you tried the usual thing-- deleting from the phone the entry for your router and then re-adding it?

I have tried. Also, I recently discovered that my phone can't connect or recognize any wi-fi signals at all. This means that if I'm in an area with wi-fi my phone can't find it at all.

I'm sorry if I'm being the typical noob, but I have no idea what that means. Would you be able to explain how to do that?

Perfect Lemme get the boot.img for ya.
So you have sense 3.6 correct?
Also what recovery are you using?
Okay so the stock boot.img is attached to this post. Download it and put it in the data folder of that program you used to root your htc
in the data folder go to the address bar and clear whats there and type cmd and hit enter
in the command box that just popped up type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" without the " and hit enter. then you can reboot and it should be fixed

Yes. Have your phone connected into the computer and have your phone in fastboot.
And if you go into recovery itll tell you and no you wont lose anything

I couldn't help but encourage at least a 'fastboot erase cache' after flashing the boot image...
Maybe even before to see if it fixes you up...

I tried both and now my phone just says that it's turning wi-fi on...but it doesn't turn on, it just keeps on saying it.

The usual recommendation, before modding the firmware, is to try all the other things first, from clearing the cache, to wiping the dalvik cache then rebooting, to booting into hboot and resetting the phone, and seeing if that does anything. That last will lose you all your apps and data so back it all up first.

Would I wipe the dalvik cache the same way that I wiped the normal cache? Like, would I just type in dalvik cache instead? Also, how do I back up all my apps?

There's a pile of utils on the Play Store that will do one or both of these things. Best known are Titanium Backup, ROM Toolbox, Android Tuner and System Tuner. Folks here will have recommendations. --You will need an external SD card for storing your backups.
The dalvik cache is the bytecode store for the Java VM that Android runs on, so you have to reboot the device right after clearing the dalvik cache, since the Java VM will mess up if it's bytecode store is erased from under it. Upon reboot the Dalvik Java VM will rebuild the cache.

That means you need the bcmdhd.ko file... it goes in /system/lib/modules... you will find it in the same directory in the ROM zip...

Good catch!! rignfool's right wrt missing wifi driver, whatislovebeepboop. i missed your description of your phone being stuck where it says it's turning on wi-fi.
That's certainly happened to me lots and it's always been because i've either put in a kernel that doesn't go with the wifi driver in the phone rom, or else i've installed a rom that has a wifi driver that doesn't go with the existing kernel ... usually because the boot.img in the rom didn't install successfully and the old kernel's still there.

How do I wipe the dalvik cache?

Good catch!! rignfool's right wrt missing wifi driver, whatislovebeepboop. i missed your description of your phone being stuck where it says it's turning on wi-fi.
That's certainly happened to me lots and it's always been because i've either put in a kernel that doesn't go with the wifi driver in the phone rom, or else i've installed a rom that has a wifi driver that doesn't go with the existing kernel ... usually because the boot.img in the rom didn't install successfully and the old kernel's still there.

Ahhh, ok. So how would I do what you guys are talking about?

That means you need the bcmdhd.ko file... it goes in /system/lib/modules... you will find it in the same directory in the ROM zip...
Its the broadcom WiFi drivers

I checked my system files on my phone using rom toolbox, I looked where you mentioned and the bcmdhd.ko file is there. What does this mean?

try reflash stock firmware using odin . and then enter recovery to factory reset the phone..

Thats nonsense. If he flash by Odin stock FW, no need to do factory reset or wipe something.

Yes, try another one to see if problem is in charger. Try charging with USB on PC for example.

I had the same problem! First root your device. And then use a custom rom such as this one
Steps to Install Android 4.2.2 on Samsung Galaxy S Advance GT-I9070 via Unofficial AOKP
Step-1: Download AOKP Android 4.2.2 for Samsung Galaxy S Advance to computer
Step-2: Download Google Apps
Step-3: Connect Galaxy phone to computer using USB cable. Copy downloaded zip files to SD card of phone. Do not extract any file
Step-4: Disconnect phone from computer and switch it off. Wait five to six seconds for vibration to confirm complete power off
Step-5: Boot Galaxy S Advance into recovery mode by pressing and holding Volume Up, Home and Power until Samsung logo appears. Then release all three buttons. The device will be in recovery mode soon
Note: In recovery mode, use Volume buttons to navigate between options and Power button to select desired option
Step-6: In recovery mode it is important to perform a Nandroid backup of existing ROM, which can be restored later in case the new ROM does not work or users wish to go back to previous firmware. To perform Nandroid backup, select Backup and Restore and then, on the next screen, select Backup again. When backup is done, go back to main recovery menu
Step-7: Perform data wiping task to avoid clash between new and previous ROM. Select wipe data/ factory reset, then select Yes on next screen to confirm action. Wait for a few minutes until data wiping process is completed and then go back to CWM recovery menu. Select wipe cache partition and select Wipe Dalvik Cache under Advance option to perform Dalvik cache wiping. Once action is completed, return to recovery menu
Step-8: Select install zip from sdcard and then select choose zip from sdcard. Now navigate to AOKP ROM zip earlier copied to SD card of phone. Press Power to select and confirm installation by selecting Yes on next screen. ROM installation should begin
Step-9: After ROM is installed, follow similar procedure (Step-8) but this time choose Google Apps package
Step-10: When installation process is completed, go back to main recovery menu and reboot phone by selecting reboot system now. The device will reboot into customised AOKP firmware. The phone will take a few minutes to boot up for the first time
The Samsung Galaxy S Advance should be now updated to Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, with unofficial AOKP ROM. Head to Settings > About Device to verify new software running on phone
Note: To go back to previous ROM, boot phone into recovery, select Backup and Restore and then restore ROM by selecting from list
All instructions are there in the site. Also this is a new Android OS version . It removes the bloatwares and significantly improves performance and will hopefully solve your "CHARGING BUG" and improve the user interface as well!BUT BE CAREFUL , THIS IS NOT A TOUCHWIZ ROM ! ITS AN AOKP ROM, so you'll lose TOUCHWIZ features.
If I did help ,please don't forget to click on the THANKS button !!!
Cheers !!

[Q] [OSX] total brick of P990

I've done something really stupid today. After flashing my Galaxy S several times already I thought I'd give my friends Optimus 2x running Cyanogenmod 7 an update to nightly 10.1. Obviously I tried flashing a 10.2 build first that I found somewhere, but installed the wrong gapps to go with it (and even after it continued to boot into CM7). So after phone boot I had FC's every two seconds and couldn't reboot into recovery with clockworkmod.
I can't reboot into download / fastboot mode on the Optimus 2x. power + volume-down goes into "SW update" which is totally useless, and all others boot into CM7. I've installed the ADT and tried lots of things through adb, but nothing wanted to go into recovery mode (like adb reboot recovery), so in the end I did a 'su wipe system' after remounting the file system into rw mode.
Now the phone is totally dead. I think I've really wiped everything as I can't even shell into the phone saying no shell executable is available.
Any way I can fix it? fastboot just hangs saying 'waiting for device' (was doing it all the time); heimdall doesn't recognise the phone ('ERROR: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.', also always), doing both as root.
I just want to factory-reset the whole thing and flash an image. Any way I can do this from OSX?
Help appreciated!

This device is unbrickable, so don't worry.
Unfortunately, I can't help you with OSX...
But using the AIO-tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34809475 can let you do anything... So, of no Mac answers tick in, go windows...
Maybe, Progmaq's tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975274 is even easier as it also restores some CM10 nightly.
