[Q] Bricked?

Hello,
I installed Rom manager and flashed CWM 5.0.2.0 (I guess) from it. When I choose backup option from the app it does the backup but I really don't think saves it anywhere so I tried doing it manually by going into recovery manually. When I did this the LG logo appeared and then nothing happened just a black screen with the leds on.
Plz guide me as to what I should do now.
P.S. - I have a nandroid backup but it is a bit old. Its from the old CWM I installed manually.
Thanks

Anyone? I really need help!

Remove battery?

now i looked for this problem on the internet and it appears there r some solutions found on this link:

however i did not understand any of this
i m not new in installing roms and such but i m not very femilier with all these "more complicated" things
i noticed at the comments that the first solution helped someone
and it looks easy, if any1 could explain me shortly how do i do this this would be very helpful.

i have faemod v1.2 based on cwm 5.0.2.7 ..
and honestly i dont know which threat you are reffering to

Cyanogenmod 10.. There is a link to CWM..
On the wiki page (see the index i made) you can also find CWM and an installation guide.

also i tried rom manager but it just opens recovery mode for me
any way i can return to an old verision of recovery w/o using the reovery mode so i can go back and install the touch verision this time?

maybe im doing it wrong but odin doesnt even recognise the file.. and there is no guide there
i did try a odin flashable cwm V6 but its stuck on "setup connection" each time i try..

Le tips:
- Patientce
- Remove and replug device
- Reboot device
- Use another USB port or cable
- Turn kies of (ctrl+alt+del > Taskmanager > Procesess > Terminate anything with KIES in its name)
- Turn AW/FW off

Just flash TWRP and you're good to go

dude im fricking out..
i accidently soft bricked it and now im trying 2 flash it back 2 stock with odin through your guide
but odin recognises my pc recognises the ops file as a text file so odin doesnt even see it...
u gotta help me ;_;

hey man relax... in wiki page you'll find cwm5.5.0.4 flashable zip and you can install it from recovery ( even from stock recovery if i remember corectly)... if you can't acces your phone you can copy it from pc to phone using recovery ( mounts and storage )... if you are stuck in recovery( you're phone boot in recovery only ) you'll need to flash the bootloader using odin.. also you can find the steps and necessary files in wiki and in cm10 by ivendor in firrst post ..Good Luck !!!

1: How did you softbrick it? What did you do, because I thought Odin got stuck??
2: You do see an Phone an ! and a PC?
3: You do have the latest ROM by Samsung and the correct AriesVE.ops?
If yes then we can get started. Follow my guide, when odin gets stuck at System (for a long long time > You know this because the green balk with time gets stuck) unplug device, reboot download again, reboot computer, and try again with BroodROM RC5 (see index)... (BroodROM RC5 is a last resort for our device since it has fixed many softbricked one including mine)

aaaand that's what happens when you start flashing random stuff to your phone without knowing what you actually do...
Ok, I wont tease you or anything, here is what to do:
READ THIS
THIS (all stuff from there, doesn't matter if you don't consider it necessary, you surely will in the future)
After you read all those and understand everything, flash back to stock using @mrjraider tutorial, it's a clear step by step one so follow every step.
Now, the thing is that you'll need CWM Recovery, not FeaMod which is only able to flash GB ROM's.
The most stable CWM recovery is CWM 5.5.0.4 you can find it at the bottom of the OT from this thread
HERE is how to flash CWM with Odin.
Please, pay attention and don't rush things up. And next time you have a problem post in an appropriate thread don't open a new one and especially not in the dev section, see this
Also, no user "gotta help you" you've chose to flash tings to your phone, if you mess it up, it's your own failure and nobody 'MUST' help you... (see this)

i did try using his guide and i folowed it step by step
my only problem is that odin gives me that message i showed in my last post..
also untill i fix this soft brick i cant move on to recovery mode so
i need 2 fix that first..
the guide doesnt show anything related to what im doing wrong..

Someone with brains would have removed odin, and the ops file and redownloaded it again. Also save those on your desktop

rooting prob

Guys tried rooting my phone, basically done the whole procedure and I couldnt dload anything from p store and when I tried my phone restarted, the same with setting the time. What exactly did I do wrong? I used that smart flash thing with the superuser zip. Or is this just how rooted phones work??
Ive gone back to flashing my phone, works fine all is good, im thinking about trying to root again but I need a clearer idea. Im working with gb 2.3.4.
If anybody has anything straightforward and reliable drop us a line.
Thanks in advance dudes.

First of all, install the LG USB drivers and restart your pc.
Try using smartflash with phone battery removed...this often helps.
Do data, cache, and dalvik wipes from cwm.
As soon as you boot into the flashed rom, do a factory reset from hidden menu.

pdf????

No matter which software you're currently running you should have no problems.
Just make sure:
You should restart your PC after installing Drivers.
Remove Phone battery, Then access Software update Mode.
All the required files are in that post, just download everything, place superuser.zip in sd card, follow the instructions.
After flashing, the phone will automatically reboot into the Recovery menu.
in the recovery menu, select wipe Data/factory reset, then confirm.
after that, select Wipe Cache, and confirm.
Go to Advanced>Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Go back, Select Install Zip from SD Card>Choose zip from SD Card and Then Choose The Superuser.zip from the SD Card, THIS will root your phone.
Select Reboot System Now.
Let phone reboot, go to Dialer dial 3845#*970# and do factory reset.
Done!
This is as much detail as possible, Cant go anymore

Thanks dude.

Yeah, Read N00by's Noob how to once: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105 its really detailed.
As for the Firmware, you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105 firmware to root Posted by N00by.
To remove LG Bloatware, just use any uninstaller app from the Play store, But you WILL need root. so root your phone first, then Use Titanium Backup (recommended).

done the root

Hi,
Basically ive done the root, been a big help cheers. stopped and deleted a few things that I shouldn't have and needed to flash the phone twice lol. Im not touching any prog now unless i know 100% what it is.
1. if you know of any source i can refer to so that i can know what i can/can not delete it would help.
2. After the root, should i delete the superuser.zip from the memory card???
3. If you know of a good root prog i can download so i can uninstall unneeded progs let me know (cos basically i downloaded root app uninstall from play store and that was the reason i flashed the phone 2nd time, screen went black, cant trust it)
Let us know mate so i know what Im doing.
Thanks in advance.:good:

Search the apps and themes section, there was a thread for the List of safely removable apps. Also, all uninstalling apps will be the same, they will show you all apps, you have to choose the ones to uninstall.
You can delete the superuser.zip if you've flashed it.

ok

If you downloaded .zip you unpack it somewhere on comp.
You in your phone allow unknown sources in settings and turn on USB debugging.
After that use official cable to connect phone and comp ( I guess you have all usual drivers already installed) and then go to folder where you unzipped your files and start install.bat.
Then follow instructions as they come.
P.S. just to check you downloaded from here: http://nut.xperia-files.com/path/XZDualRecovery

It isn't meant to flashing but it will install Nut's Dual Recovery which is app and will "make" TWRP and CWM and nuts recovery (similar to cwm).
You can enter recovery through app and will go to choosen recovery or when phone is booting you will have a chance to enter directly into recovery by pressing vol up or down...phone will vibrate and notifications led will glow green then press vol up or down

I'm not sure about posting 3rd party links but if this get deleted PM me and I will see how to help you.
PS in Nut's app you can also choose which recovery you want to use, although people like to use TWRP I have no predisposition toward any specific.
