Lg Black Optimus is only on the screen of lg!

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

I don't know but I think that method requires a bit of programming skills, I don't understand it either...
have you tried this one??http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803 I think is better explained so is a bit easier to understand

I've also tried but did not, does not have a specific firmware to make my OB back to life?

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.

My Samsung Galaxy Ace won't turn on!!!!!

Hello, recently i've flashed my galaxy ace with rom manager (ClockworkMod) so i can make the partition thing to my sd card, so i flashed it, turn it off, and then i won't turn on. I can't even charge my phone! I tried to turn it on in reboot mode but it doesn't do anything. I even tried to turn on download mode and nothing. Not even the samsung logo shows up. Nothing! I'm desesperated, I don't know what to do now. I'm new in this forum, so I will be very very thankful if someone could help me on this. Please.

First, ROM MANAGER BRICKS SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE!
Second, YOUR PHONE IS DEAD. TRY A USB JIG OR GOTO SERVICE CENTER.
Third, WHO TOLD YOU TO USE ROM MANAGER?
Fourth, LIE TO SERVICE CENTER TELLING THAT YOU WERE CHARGING YOUR PHONE AND IT TURNED OFF AND IT NEVER TURNED ON. DO NOT MENTION WORDS LIKE "BRICK","ROOT","ROM MANAGER".
Fifth, Welcome to the world of XDA Developers. DO read the threads with a pin icon in front (A.K.A Sticky)

I never understand, that people who buys a new device, why don't read something about it??? Before I buy my Ace, I read a lot about it, I knew, that it's prohibited to use Rom Manager on Ace... There's a lot of info about it...

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..

a time try to flash my phone with new firmware, and my phone can't turn on, becouse one input of firmware wrong, and then i try to leave baterry and then, try to go download mode again and flash with new firmware, wait flashing finish and my phone can turn on again.
hopefully working with your phone.

Let's give a try, but I think it won't work. Rom Manager hard bricks Ace, and even download mode won't work. Bring it to service center...

You can use usb jig to force boot into download mode but there's a small chance for it to work
Google usb jig

Have you ever heard something like "don't do something unless you know what you are doing", well this is very useful. There's a reason that none on ace developement doesn't use or recomends ROM manager. Brick.

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...

He isnt replying to you!

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:

happened the same
i tried flashing stock rom froyo 2.2.1 from odin it cme up as pass but when i dsiconetted nothing happened my phone is ****ed help me anyone it wont even show the samsung logo what do u advise me to do i live in india should i go o the service center or what

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!!!

Another victim of ROM Manager. RIP.

You can get into download mode right? Flash stock rom again through a kdz flashing method. You can find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 and the stock firmware here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15

Try to run in compatibility mode with xp ... Got windows enabler on ?

i think the guide there at step 7 is a bit wrong. how can you disable the phone and flash the rom ? if the pc cant "see" the machine connected , is it even possible ? ...
it didnt work. when i installed the usb drivers the windows couldnt recognise the phone. i switched the driver from mobile to portable something. i had only 2 available choices at the manage section if i didnt check to show compatible only machines. after switching to that driver... ( curse windows and their bugs ) , automatically switched back to mobile.... and my phone was connected to my pc....after that i continued with the flash rom and now its back working. Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im new to android. i has iphone since years.

I messed up really bad. No download mode.

So, I was trying to update and root my friend's phone. It was in 2.3.6 or whatever the default Android was on it .
First of all, I couldn't get into download mode and other way than using ADB.
I wanted to root it. I folowed this guide, but the phone's baseband was not on the list. I just decided to go with the Hungarian once, since I'm Hungarian. After flashing the sound of the phone was bad and it was losing signal all the time. It could receive messages but couldn't send any.
After this, I've updated to 4.1 from Sammobie where I found a Hungarian firmware for the matching carrier. (T-Mobile) Still no signal.
Last, I tried to fix the signal by flashing the old 2.3.6 version, a Hungarian one with matching carrier.
Now the phone got briced and freezes on the Samsung logo. When charging it only shows that "loading" icon. I can't access download mode in any phisical way. Tried. Can't access through ABD because the phone isn't booting.
So, if I do this USB Jig, will my phone boot automatically to Download mode when connected, or I shouldn't bother with it? Any ideas how to fix this?
Thanks in advance! Have a nice day!

Yeah I'm pretty sure that they work. Before I tried to flash back the 2.3.6 the buttons had worked perfectly. I couldn't use the buttons to get into download or recoery mode even when the phone was "intact".

While trying to get into download mode, be sure that cable is not connected to phone, and release all three buttons 1 second after you feel vibration

Well, I only flashed one file, which I assume was the whole firmware in one package. (I9070XXLK2_I9070TMHLK1_HOME.tar.md5) If you mean this, maybe this was the problem.
Anyway, thanks for the images, altrough I read that I need exactly 300k Ohm.

Thanks for your pics man! I made one myself and it works nicely. The only problem left is that I can't enter Recovery mode...

Update!

I received my phone today (and it's gorgeous) and there was an update straight out of the box. The only way I found to install it is by first downloading it then power the phone down. Then power it back on by holding the volume up and power buttons at the same time. You'll boot into the recovery mode and select update from SD card and you'll see the zip file there select using the power button and stroll using the volume keys. The update is a little slow but it does improve the overall speed of the phone from my perspective too new to truly tell of course

Never had to do all that with mine. It prompted me to download the update and then when done i could install now or later.

My phone did all of that but would not complete the update and kept giving me an error message so that's what I had to do to get it to work.

don't put the SIM card in and you'll have no issues. just boot the phone and it'll prompt for wifi, skip that, then it'll ask to add 'Google' account, skip that and then it'll ask for first name and last name; which is optional too.
i skipped everything and was able to be logged in the phone. so it didn't do an auto update because there was no network connectivity.

anyone know what was new from the update?

Just got an update too, when it rebooted to apply update, it went to recovery saying ERROR.
Such fail. I'll flash it manually like OP. Thanks.
Edit: What folder is it in? I don't see it anywhere.
Decided to try Update normally again and it worked.

I tried at least five times myself and kept getting the error message. I'm glad you got it to update for you.

Did you have it plugged in to your computer? I had it plugged in to my PC and when it first rebooted I heard my PC make some USB detecting noises and for some reason my mouse died when it did that.
I unplugged it and tried the update again and it worked. Might be coincidence, might not be /shrug.

Update failed on me too. Said unpack failure or something similar. So I just redownloaded and then it went through fine. Hadn't put Sim card in yet and was not plugged into computer.
First time ever for an update to fail on one of my phones and I've been at this for awhile.
Blu has something amiss on their end.
But must say for 99.00 I'm impressed

Mine was fine. Put in sim and setup. Updated went fine and done. No issue

Quick heads up for some of you guys...... My update was failing for the most part. Until I decided to take out the microsd card from my phone.
Once I removed the SD card I checked for an update again and voila it worked flawlessly. I'm not sure what the issue was/is. I can only assume that it has to do with not being able to store properly.
If the same issue has happened to you, you can also try to see if checking "install from SD" will work. That is something I didn't think of before removing the card.
Again simply remove the card and give it another go.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone have a copy of the Update file OR the Stock Rom file for the Blu Vivo XL or know where to get it?
I'd like to have one in case I brick my phone while playing with it. I can use the SP Flash Tool to flash the phone back to stock. I stupidly didn't save the update file when the phone updated.
Thanks.

Please, for some reason I softbrick my phone, it is in the bootloop now. I need the update.zip file if someone is willling to help. Million thanks.

"for some reason"??? You mean you tried to root it and then bricked it? That would make more sense. Good luck.

Yep, I did try to root. But just softbrick. Still able to get into the OEM recovery / fastboot section. Just need ROM / firmware if available.
