Hi guys,
Gone through about 100 threads these last couple of days, but nothing helps, so have to start a new one.
What happened was that the other day my phone started ringing.
The screen however was black, so I could neither see who was calling nor answer the call.
I let it ring out, then I held the power button so it would shutdown.
Tried to restart it, and that's when the fun started.
The phone got stuck in a boot-loop, only showing the Galaxy S logo (not getting to the animated one).
Left it in this loop for several hours, since I've had problems recently with the phone needing to do this cycle 5-10 times before booting up.
This time it wouldn't boot, however.
I've tried putting the phone in a bag of rice for 18 hours, in case of any moisture inside, not helping.
Then I tried recovery-mode, formatting the whole thing, but I got the following error:
"E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2"
Found this thread to try to fix the format error.
Got into download mode, but Odin does not recognize the phone, and I started believing all hope for fixing it without sending it in was gone.
I've also tried applying a couple of update.zip's from the SD-card, just to have tried it, but every package got Signature verifcation-error.
Anyway, when I headed to bed last night I left the phone in the boot-loop, and to my surprice, 8 hours later it had booted into first-time configuration.
YES!!!
Configured the phone with language etc., then all of a sudden the animated Galaxy S logo appeared...
And it appeared again, and again, and again for about 15 min., until I unplugged the battery.
And now I'm back at square one, stuck in the boot-loop (not getting to the animated logo)...
I have the latest versjon of KIES, not that it probably matters.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be?
What rom were you using? stock or custom? Maybe it has something to do with lagfix if it was activated... im guesing, im not dev just normal user... Maybe try to reinstal usb drivers.
Just use odin 1.3 reflash official rom , everything would be OK.
Not sure about the ROM, bought the phone used... But pretty sure it's stock..
Since Odin didn't recognize the phone, reflashing it with official ROM would be hard...
However, as for the Odin problem, that was caused by a faulty USB-cable...
Used another one, and Odin worked like a charm.
The phone won't start after running through the steps in the thread I mentioned before, but I will try to reflash it with offical ROM now and see how that works.

Not sure about used phone, But if I bought the phone used, I would reflash rom first. Because I do not even know what they done before , reflash offical rom would be fix some problem.

Well, I would have if I knew... But stupid me thought that a phone was a phone.
How wrong was I?
Anyway, a little update here (the problem is kind of solved now):
Flashed the phone with 2.3.3 Gingerbread I found on dkszone, after running the steps in the previous mentioned thread.
And the phone started like a charm.
But after a few hours of configuring etc, I managed to insert the SD-card again, and all hell broke loose again...
Come to think about it, thats what I did yesterday too, so I've come to the conclusion that the SD-card is the main problem...
However, now the phone is slow... REAL slow... Kind of like my 1.5 year old HTC Touch Diamond 2 with WP6.5...
It takes up to 2 seconds to open menu items, keyboard etc.
Is there any way to fix that?
Or should I flash it with another ROM?
You mean the external sdcard? Maybe try to format it...
OK, so this is what I've now figured out:
The phone is damaged...
It seems that the internal SD has gone AWAL, and internal storage has somehow created itself on the external SD-card, thus the phone crashed when I switched cards...
When trying to format the USB-storage, I receive error: SD-card has been removed
So I guess I have to ship the phone off to Samsung ASAP...
Ok Guys, I started this thread because last weekend I had an interesting issue with my O2X. From one day to another, whenever I connected my phone to the computer it only charged, I had no USB connection. I’m not yet quite sure why it happened, the last thing I did to my phone was install CM10 nightly of 31 October 2012, and then I changed the default baseband I had (725) to the one GetRil was telling me to install (LGP990AT-00-V20l-EUR-XX-OCT-20-2011 0_CP) (this baseband didn’t fixed the strange noises of in call) two days after that I got the no USB bug, at first I thought it was software related, then after lots of reading and trying different cables and computers I thought it was hardware related, but then I saw an interesting chance of fixing it, and it did in my case
Credit goes to Kohos, I manage to have USB fixed temporary thanks to his post on modaco.com
I’M NOT TELLING THAT CM10 CAUSE THIS BUG, IT JUST HAPPENED TO ME WHILE USING THIS ROM
Specs
Phone: Optimus 2x (p990H made in south Korea)
Rom: CM10 Oct 31 2012 (when got the bug) now CM7 nightly 15 July 2012
Kernel: Symbiosis 2.6.32.59 v1.2
Carrier: Telcel
Country: México
Ril: 0725 (V10d, Europe)
BB: 1035.21_20110725
CWM: 5.0.2.0 (no touch version)
To solve this issue you need to have a stock ROM that can be flashed by CWM. Can be the rom, or a backup of the stock rom (If you don’t have one send me a PM), I didn’t tried stock-based ROM so those may or may not work; I’m not sure but rather use an original stock ROM. You also need to be able to enter CWM recovery, and have LGE drivers up to date.
For this method I used a stock nandroid backup.
I’ll describe step by step all I did to solve this issue so you can give it a shot:
1. If you have a flashable stock rom you may skip this step and go to step 3, if what you have is a nand backup you need to make your partitions back from EXT4 to EXT3 (this is the format that stock rom uses) so need to download the tool R2 found on the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021549
put it on your external SD card along with the backup of the stock rom
2. Reboot to enter CWM recovery and install the tool R2 (NOTE: this will erase all information of the internal memory)
3. Install or flash your stock rom or backup (In case you're using my backup, keep in mind, my file IS NOT a flashable rom, it is a backup, so trying to use the option "flash zip from external sd card" WON'T work, what you need to do is unzip the file and put it on sdcard/clockworkmod/bakcup, then on the recovery, you have to use the option "restore from external sd card", that way it should work, keep in mind that if you change the name of the file it will give md5 error for the name won't match the backup's md5)
4. Reboot and start the phone, once it is all loaded, on the phone app dial: 1809#*990# this will take you to the service (hidden) menu (If it doesn’t take you automatically to the service menu (without clicking dial) you’ll need another ROM or backup)
5. In this menu you’ll need to scroll to the option: Module Test > USB Mode Selection, in there make sure the option LG Android USB is selected
6. Then go back to the root of the hidden menu, and go to Port settings, there you’ll see several options, the ones we’re interested in are: AP USB, CP USB, AP UART, CP UART, the default should be AP USB, you can start playing with those options. (While doing this, you might want to play with your computer device manager scanning for hardware changes, that might help detecting the USB)
The recommendation is to select CP UART, wait, if your problem is not hardware related, it should popup a message of new unknown device, or LGE Platfrom Android USB device. If your USB show some life signal, then you’re almost done, if not, keep playing with the four options until you see some life signal.
What I did was select CP UART, click Ok, wait, AP UART, click OK, wait, CP USB, click OK, wait, AP USB, click OK, I waited here about 1 min, and then on the computer device manager I scanned for hardware changes, and suddenly my computer started installing all drivers again, this last option is the one that must keep selected even with reboot of the phone.
7. Once you get all done, reboot the phone and connect it to USB to see if it is recognized again, if not, repeat steps 4 to 6
8. Ok, If everything went fine, you should now have USB connection, now I would recommend you flash your Stock Rom, so everything that might cause this bug gets fixed (if you don’t do this, you might get the bug back eventually). To do so you might need to turn off your phone and plug it to your computer while clicking PWR and VOl- at the same time, if your computer doesn’t recognize your phone, use the device manager and scan for hardware changes, this should reinstall the driver needed to make this happen.
9. Finally I restored my last nandroid backup through cwm
I did this on Monday, and two days later I had no USB connection again, I repeated this steps and I had USB detection once more, today it happended again, and repeated the steps so I’m pretty sure this fix should work every time.
NOTE: This is a temporary fix, I've been trying to identify why the bug keeps comming back
Hope this help you all get over this serious bug :laugh:
Updates
This is my last froyo teclel stock backup

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7867872/2007-02-01.00.05.16.zip
Disclaimer: Even though I'm sure it will work, try it at you own risk, I'm not responsable for any bad behavior or damage that could happen to your phone
UPDATE:
Ok, guys I told you I would make some test to make sure the bug won't come back or identify the problem, what I've found so far is that the problem might be caused by the wall charger (but might not the the only reason), If I'm not wrong, the LG stock charger has output of 5.2V - 650mA DC and I've been using a motorola charger (5.1V - 850mA DC output).
Four days ago I started charging my phone only with my computer (usb port has output of 5V - 500mA) and I've had no trouble at all, the bug hadn't come back, today I charged my phone with the wall charger and the bug immediately came back, so for now that's my theory, the wall charger, stock or not, might fail and deliver more current that the O2X need so it mess the phone, I'm going to make fix on my charger to prove my theory, (I have no money for a new charger xD, but I'm studying electronics) if it fix it, I'll let you know, but you can try and charge your O2X with your computer for a day or two to help me prove my theory or prove me wrong
UPDATE:
It's been some time since I last posted here, I've been busy with my finals, but have had some time to make some tests to my phone. On my last update I told you that I had a theory about the bug, well, so far I can tell you that the wall charger indeed have something to do with the bug, but its not the cause of it, I've been using my wall charger letting my phone connected all-night long and the bug seems to happen again, but letting my phone connected to the PC for a while allows the USB sync and debugging again, so I'm not sure why it happens, I'm about to finish my finals so I'll try to make some tests once I'm done, hope this giude help you
UPDATE:
Well, as I was testing my theory, I go back to zero, this is because, my phone, doesn't have the bug anymore, so I have no chance to keep testing solutions for it, the conclusion I got with this is that the wall charger doesn't create the bug, maybe it triggers it, but not always nor on every device because, I haven't sopped using the same wall charger and the bug haven't returned, the last thing I did was, use my computer to charge my phone for three days, always letting it charge to 100% (unless I have to move from the computer) and the bug didn't happened, then, on a rush I had to use the wall charger, the bug appeared instantly, and then keep charging it with the same charger, two days after that, the bug dissappeared, I made no rom change, nor baseband, nor ril, nor anything, just like that it disappeared, so, I have no way to keep testing, if it ever comes back, I'll make some tests again, but for now, I have nothing to work with, hope this thread help you to get over this bug, at least, for a while, I'll be reading this thread in case you have some trouble with the instructions or so, cheers
UPDATE:
Ok, so I deleted long ago the last backup you told me was not working, and since I went to CM10 from Pengus I haven't had the no USB bug, so, one person asked me for the backup, I just made a new one, (this one is 204 MB on zip, read step 3) and uploaded it to 4Shared and Dropbox, so, remember to read and follow the instructions as they are, hope this time you can restore this backup, and one more thing, this backup was made just after installing it on the phone, so it doesn't have even a gmail account, you have to put yours and update market if you need something from there, ps. dont mind the date of the name of the file, it is innacurate, cheers
I don't have any stock ROM backup that I can flash via CWM, can I use this instead?

To be honest I don't see a big difference to my post you probably found while searching except that your version is waaaaay more to read.

when dialing the above mentioned 1809#*990# in the Port menu, switching from default AP USB to AP/CP UART gave me life signs.
After switching to AP UART I linked the Unknown device driver to lgusbdiag.inf located in C:/ProgramFiles(x86)/LG United Mobile Driver.
Suddenly it started installing it and is now recognized as: LGE Platform Android USB Device.
Once disconnected I lose USB again, I'm able to recreate the first steps though even in default AP USB mode by now.

But that aside I hope you realize that this is not a solving fix at all. All it does is giving people who got a fresh device the chance to flash a custom recovery. That's all. It won't work with any CM ROM and even Stock based ROMs.
Unless you have an early Froyo version flashed you will also have no ADB and it won't be recognized during the NVFlash process rendering it pretty much useless.
Having seen dozens of people having this particular problem where all the super obvious stuff like other cables, other pcs, other drivers etc. did not work, sending it to repair was the only fix I heard of solving this problem to date.
Of course I'm very curious on how you are going to identify the problem. Good luck.

I'm extremely sorry, there's one think I missed, give you credit (fixing that right away), I actually found your post on modaco.com, and tried to access to the hidden menu from CM7 with no success, fortunately, I do have an early froyo backup that can be flashed through CWM, the only thing is that is the Telcel stock rom (I don't know if this can work with other O2X devices, I think there should not be problem at all)
About ADB, it work in full with the latest drivers installed and scanning for hardware changes on the computer device manager, It even work entering the S/W update service on the phone (to install a stock rom)
I know that many people have had this issue, I spent a lot of time reading forums and stuff about it, the only post that actually helped me, was yours, so, credit is yours, I did this post to show people what I excactly did (that's why is a lot to read, but I wanted to make it as easy as possible to follow up)
To identify the problem is a long and slow task, so, I'll be making some tests and let you know what I found, right now I have no much time, 'cuz I'm about to start my final exams, so I'll be busy, but as soon as I finish I'll be more dedicated to it, I'll be making hardware and software tests but can't promise anything yet

I tried to use that ROM, but couldn't manage to download it (I think it was removed, if you want to give it a shot try to find another flashable stock rom or backup, if not, give me some hours to clean my bakcup and upload it somewhere to let you use it, (it is mexico's telcel stock rom, but it should work)
Well Thanks ocr66 for this wonderfull news. I have the issue with usb connection from long time and i will give a try to your fix. You can post a stock rom here or a link to a rom that works??? In order to instal this fix i could lose the root??? Thank you 4 all!

It all depends on what you install, if you manage to install stock rom through CWM or another recovery, yes you will loose root, but will have usb connection so you can root again, later today I'll upload my own froyo stock backup (it's mexican stock for telcel carrier, i think it should work out of méxico, maybe could cause network trouble on other countries, but its just a posibility, the important thing is that you be able to access the hidden menu), this backup I'll upload can be installed through cwm and its already rooted, so its like installing any custom rom, you'll keep your recovery and root
Remember, this is a temporary fix yet 'cuz I still get the bug comming back, maybe its because I am restoring my last working cwm backup, the only thing I haven't tried is clean all, install stock, root, install custom rom, and download again everything, maybe the bug is caused by something on that last cwm backup
I'll let you know as soon as I upload my bakcup
cheers
Well thank you! How i have this issue from one year i learned to live with her, but i could not live without root. So if i will instal a stock rom without root i will be unable to correct the usb connection i will get stuck with stock rom and no root. Will be the end of my phone. In am interesed to gain the usb connection for change the bb, i supose i can be something wrong with my bb 1035.21_20110725 and gingerbread. You can check to change the bb to see if you get again losing usb connection. Cheers and thank you 4 all.
got this after CM10 install
I've only had my phone for 1 day from new and already got this problem.
Rooted with superoneclick
Installed CWM v5.x
Installed CM10 Nightly Nov 13th
Now no USB mode, only charging.
baseband: v10e
RIL: CM10 1106
EDIT UPDATE: Well its working for me again now, I think in my case it was because I was using Linux and CM10.
By going to Settings/Storage then pressing menu button and selecting 'USB computer connection' I was able to change the 'Connect as' option from MTP to Mass storage and it now works.

Actually yes, I've managed to identify what's triggering the bug at least in my phone, so might be the same for others as well, see the second post
BTW, did you tried already the fix? did you used my stock froyo backup?, if it didn't work, I can make another and upload it
Hi. Looks like I have the same problem with USB as you. Your theory about the wall charger might be correct. Here's my situation:
So, I've got my phone two days ago, bought used, came with a general Sony Ericsson USB charger. It says it outs 850mA at 5.0V (confirmed with a multimeter). The phone is on stock Android 2.2.2, isn't rooted yet. The guy from who I got the phone says that he suffered too with this kind of problem, however he got it working after 2 weeks without the use of the hidden menu. This means, that in those 2 weeks, he might have used a PC or a laptop to charge the phone. I tried the hidden menu port settings, however the only "working" mode is AP UART, but it is not recognizable by the PC, even if I try to link the LG drivers manually. Cycling through the modes did not help. I'll try to charge the phone with my PC, and see if that dose anything.
Details of the phone:
Firmware version: 2.2.2
Baseband: 1035.21_20110218
Kernel: 2.6.32.9-dirty
Build: FRG83G
LGE Version: LGEP990-V10b
Wow. All i can say is wow! Gosh! Just dunno how grateful I am stumbling upon this thread! Kudos to you sir,you just ended my 2 month long frustration about my phone not being able to communicate to my PC. was getting ready to send the phone for service then I read this. I had flashed every GB ROM imaginable from the dev thread with no luck. I am running carburano DM 1.7 now,all I did was to go to the hidden menu,switched one port setting,wait,then voila! PC recognized my phone! Again thanks,great respect to you,and Superskill.
Hi, this is my post to thebgeneral board by accident, didnt even read there was a qanda section lol
It didn't work on my gfs phone unfortunately, notvsure what was wrong.
Maybe I should try stock Rom instead of modded, how long are you guys waiting for the phone to show up?
I downloaded a stock Rom that had been modded.
So I could be sure that I would have cwm in case anything went wrong.
Rom loaded and was able to get into the secret menu.
I will say that under USB connection type there was misspelling where it said:
LG USB adnroid
Not sure if that would affect it.
I selected that item.
Then went to port.
Selected the different options in ordered and waited about 10 seconds on each turn, then pressed find any changes in device manager unplugged and plugged the USB.
Then tried in different orders but with not luck.
Took the battery out and tried holing the vol up down the plugging in USB but to no avail.
Then pressed power and vol down.
The phone tuned on and showed LG sign then switched off.
I tried pressing check any changes as the LG sign came on but nothing.
Then tried nvflash as the LG sign came on but nvflash showed no connection.
Very weird, definitely dead but still charges, doesn't make sense.
Oh well
Ordered an atrix with work and play kit for 68 quid, has a broken digitizer which will cost 20 pound, on average, off ebay.
Thanks for the help though.
May take the 2x apart when new phone comes and see if there's any physical damage on te board.

I've used my PC for charging for a week now, still no USB connectivity. I think this might be a hardware issue with me as the phone sometimes says it's charging, but it's actually in my hands with no cable attached. I managed to root the stock 2.2.2 firmware with GingerBreak and installed CM7 with RomManager with a downloaded ZIP on the SD card. Thanks for the tips anyways.

Hello, I'm sorry it took me a while to answer, I've been busy with my finals, did you tired the tutorial I posted? the hidden menu modification? I know that you let your phone charging for a while with your pc, actually, it should've worked but, maybe the problem on your phone actually is something else, 'cuz I haven't had that issue that the phone says it is charging but its not connected to the charger, my brother told me that he have had that same issue but with other phone, he changed the wall charger and that "fixed" it, but I think if you haven't tried the tutorial, give it a shot, try changing to CP UART if your phone's usb is working as it should, your computer should detect a new unknown device, if not, myabe your phone is hardware damaged, hope you can fix your phone soon
cheers

What I did on my phone is exactly what I posted, if your computer haven't detected your phone on CP UART I doubt rebooting will make a change, anyways the most important thing to see if your usb is damaged or not is to try on the hidden menu the option CP UART it almost instantly detect the device, but, not everytime, I once waited there 20 min, so, give it a shot if you want, the stock rom I posted (on second post) is Mexico's Telcel stock rom, rooted, it doesn't delete your cwm recovery nor root, you can give it a try if you want, but read the instructions 'cuz you have to restore the ext3 format of your phone's partition to make it work (it stays on boot loop if you don't restore ext3 format), if the backup doesn't work, let me know to upload a new backup, hope you can fix it

Interesting, this happened to me as well yesterday along with some incredible lag with keyboard and scrolling pages. Like the phone is doing something, ive Odin flashed stock fw 4 times with full wipes. seems something just suddenly defected my phone..
EDIT: BTW this happened after trying to flash a custom rom to my phone, phone was running great when i got it.

Now when you got that fingerprint error, did you experience and hard core lag in scrolling or in the keyboard? like every 3 seconds it pause like it's doing something?
not really im using nova launcher and for keyboard swiftkey running preety smooth im on firekat rom
Having the same issue with Hyperdrive. Restore my stock rooted backup and it works fine. Really looking forward to an answer on this one.
Must setup first time before rooting and flashing roms. This has been discussed in other threads.
Did that, still didn't work.

Is it just Hyperdrive or have you tried one of the other ROMs? I am Dynamic Kat and do not have the issue although other people do, ones that did not setup before flashing that ROM.

Haven't tried any others yet. Going to wait it out a few days and hopefully we will have a solution.

I tried using odin, I was on NIH firmware with no luck... and then flashed odin with NJ7 with no luck from that, I must of flashed the firmwares over 8 times,
I went and replaced my white note 4 at a corporate near me, with a black note 4.. no one had them in stock, dialing 611 was no help, they said since u bought it at a store, I had to go there, I found a corp store that had 2 left, I rushed over cause they don't hold it for anyone. employee wanted to charge a $50 restocking fee, I told them the phone is defective, and the manager override the sale..
I am having the same problem of the fingerprint scanner not working after flashing a custom ROM. I followed everything to a T & it didn't install (& yes, it is for my N4). I went back to stock using Odin, several times & have not resolved it yet. I do not want to take it back but I do like having the fingerprint scanner. Luckily, I have another N4 cause I bought 2 when they came out cause I planned on trying to turn a profit on 1 of them, but I'll be damned if everybody didn't make it easy as hell for anyone to get one. I guess I can use the 1 that doesn't work right for flashing & playing around on & then when I find "THE" ROM that I'm happiest with, I can flash it on the good 1. IDK. This is BS though. Somebody has to know how to get it back working right. I know that people that helped create this phablet, are members of this site, so I hope that they or someone else that has fixed this problem replies to our question. I flashed this ROM... http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/development/rom-alpha-semper-fi-t2926682 & the fingerprint scanner still worked, but after flashing this ROM... http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/25-october-2014-n4-echoe-rom-1-t2917941 it no longer worked & hasn't since. I am going back to stock (again) & hoping this will work. I'll update if it works.
See this post/thread, it worked for me....

Looks like these are for T-Mobile. What about Sprint? N910P

sorry dude, I don't know what it was, but when it happened to me, I was on NIH, and had the fingerprint saved, i tried everything, and when i deleted the saved fingerprint, it didn't want to work, nothing worked, i tried for 2 days searching and trying out my own stock odex roms and the firmware, it did not work.. sucks i know...
i had to return it to tmobile corporate store, if u have insurance on it, just play stupid and return it, if u have someone you know on tmobile, just let them put it on their account with put the $8 insurance, have them wait 1 week, call 611 and just say the fingerprint sensor went bad, and just pay $5 and have a replacement sent out,
lucky for me it happened less than a week for me, and went to a tmobile corporate store and they gave me a new phone in a box, but a replacement is still good it is not a refurbished phone...
I got it figured out & will post a file once it finally uploads, but in the mean time. If you have registered at SamMobile.com go there, click on the firmware tab, scroll halfway down to where it says FIRMWARE on the left side of the column & search device here on the right side. Type in your model number & it will show up right below the search area. Click & download the newest file. Here is the link for the Firmware site with search field filled in with N910 http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ While that is downloading, do a factory reset on your phone, DO NOT backup your info, you will need to restart it, but it's worth it. Once the reset is done, your phone will reboot, don't worry about going into setup, just turn the phone off & go into download mode (while phone is completely off, hold, in this order, VOLUME DOWN, HOME & POWER, press VOLUME UP when prompted. Connect your phone to computer. After the file downloads, open Odin (I'm assuming you already have Odin installed on your computer, if not you can find the link here http://odindownload.com/ I didn't have luck with Odin 3.09, but the 3.07 version works great. Your Firmware file should be done downloading by now, if it is, put it in your Note 4 folder (or whatever folder you have designated for your N910-) & extract it to there. Open Odin & click on the PDA button (& DO NOT CLICK ANYTHING ELSE), click on the file you just extracted & then click Start. Once that loads, your phone will reboot & be just like it was from the factory. Hope this helps everybody. Once the file uploads to my Dropbox, I'll post it on here to save you some time.
Here's the link for N910P https://www.dropbox.com/s/f5f63rb4d8ybsm3/N910PVPU1ANK2_N910PSPT1ANK2_XAS.zip?dl=0
