LG messed up. Not booting. Only LG LOGO. P925

Hi everyone! I have a huge problem here, which I would really appreciate your help!
So I got a brand new LG Thrill 4G AT&T. I root it with one click. I Bought the code to unlock it and I was using it with T-mobile. So I had a couple of wonderful days until I start messing around with my rom. The first to say is that I install the rom manager and installed the Clockworkmod recovery to download new roms. I didn't get it at the moment, but when the app prompted me to choose the model of my phone I chose "LG 2X". My phone freeze so I restart it (worst decision ever!). So here i go, turn back on my phone, and I noticed after 5 minutes of booting, that I don't go beyond the LG Logo.
I've trying everything I found in these forums without any success. I started with a wipe factory reset, with gives an error of E:can't mount recovery log, so It doesn't work.
My recovery doesn't have the option to install from zip
I'm working on this process right now without any success yet
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17177547&postcount=2
I read on one of the forums that I could use ITALY bin, which didn't work. I'm about to test "MEXICO" bin, and see how that goes.
I'm desperate and running out of faith... I Would really appreciate your help fellows!

Permanently rebooting after flashing cm9

Today I tried to flash my device after this official Guideline (if you want to call it official):
wiki.cyanogenmod.com: Samsung_Galaxy_Note:_Full_Update_Guide
Now I know that it is out-of-date: 5th June 2012 But now it's to late.
The first steps worked fine. As flashing method I choosed Method via Recovery. I bravely followed this guide and made a factory reset and wiped the cache.
I flashed my HTC Desire several times before so I wasn't really feared. I just wondered to find the update.zip in the internal sd folder. It then rebooted but didn't come to an end. I started it new. Nothing changed. (Here is the point I should have posted this, but it's gone.) I started back at Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery point 2. Windows only. Nothing changed.
So I started to panick, got here, read this and that, the panick reased... and this still goes on.
Now I am here and pleading for help.
It still trys to start through, and I waited long enough.
First, how can I check for an MMC brick and second, what is your advise for me?
Please, please help me. I was stupid, I thought I knew what to do. Please tell me how to do better next time.

You are not providing any usefull information..
Download a stock gingerbread rom and flash it via pc odin.. After the flash its done go stock recovery (volume up+home+power) and wipe data..
After that come here again and I'll help you go cm9

I did what was mentioned in the second line (the the wiki page with this title.
Also I must say, the theme is done, but thank for your interest. After a sleepless night ( Smartphone of a friend) I fixed it with the help of Dr.Ketan and a few threads he told to use.
It would be wonderful if anyone could fix the wikipage from Cyanogenmod. I think a wipe date/facotry reset befor the restart would do(last line Method via Recovery). But as for the fact that I needed help to get it done, I think I am not the right person to change this in this guide as a noob.

CWM & Smartflash issue on P990

Hi guys!
I'm a newbie here at XDA. Long time ago, I have formatted my Optimus 2X from GB to ICS using smart flash tool. I have done that successfully. After few months, I felt like my phone is slow to respond. Then I decided to repartition and install fresh ICS copy again. I was not 100% sure what I was doing at that time. I have used AIO tool for this. Selected option no. 4 and have selected CWM v6.0.2.5 as recovery.
Then I tried to install the new ROM using smart flash and I did not succeed. After I have messed up with this problem, I contacted "spyrosk" (the OP of AIO tool thread) and he told me to install stock ROM on this thread. Then I have downloaded the V30A ROM and copied out to the phone memory, and installed using cwm by selecting install zip from sdcard option. I have succeeded.
But now I want get my phone back to the situation where I installed ICS in first time (GB to ICS using smartflash). Because my camera isn't working, OS freezes pretty much, etc. So I tried several times using Smart flash (in AIO tool) tool as I did as same as when I update from GB to ICS. But, I'm getting an error. Time out reached, after few minutes.
Should I remove CWM before install the fresh stock ICS rom using smart flash? Please guide me through this as I am a newbie for these kind of things. All I want to do is, bring back my phone to the same situation where I upgrade from GB to ICS, as I told you at the beginning of this thread.
Please don't ignore this thread by thinking I am an epic noob at this. Guide me and I'll do exactly as you guys say. Thanks a lot for reading. A reply would be greatly appreciated. :angel:

Anyone? Please.
BUMP. Can someone please give me an advice? I'm kinda disappointed right now.

There is nothing to worry about, just keep trying using smartflash. After each try remove the cable then connect it back, if it still not works restart teh phone to S/W screen. If it still not works try it on an other usb port, and do everithing from the begining. If it still fails use another cable or try it on an other computer.
It usually start work for the 6th or the 7th time of trying.
No need to remove cwm or anything like that.

Thank you very much for replying this thread BitDomo. I will try some more times then. Apart from that, I have seen a way to uninstall CWM by installing some files to the device. But I did not try that since that method is for CWM v3.x.x.
I'm kinda noob at savvy android thingies for now. I will learn some more about these thingies from the start of next month. Until then, I just want to bring my phone to official ICS 4.0.3 stock ROM and use the phone as I did earlier.
Thanks again for your kind reply to this thread bro. Really appreciate. I'll try some more times and will post the results. Dear android experts, any other solutions for this? Please make a post if you have a suggestion. Peace.. :highfive:

Please help
Guys I have tried over 10 times to flash to ICS 4.0.4 using Smartflash. But everytime I end up with same error. Then I tried Nvflash. But my device showed me a black screen after the process completed. Everything working correctly but I couldn't see anything on my LCD, its just a black screen with the light. So, I used full brick repair for P990 here at xda.
Now I have CWM v6.0.2.5 as recovery and CyanogenMod 10-20131105-UNOFFICIAL-p990 in my phone. Can someone please explain me how to bring this phone back to official ICS 4.0.4? I tried smartflash right now and device shows a black LCD screen. Smartflash picks up the device but process stops in few seconds. I have searched for revert back to stock ICS from CM, but I did not get a descriptive enough information for this. Please write atleast a brief reply if you know the procedure. Thank you very much. :good:

Problem solved. The thing we learnt today is that the battery have to be inserted when you use smartflash.

This dude is a genius. This tip fixed my phone instantly. If any of you had the same problem, remember NOT to remove the battery when you do a smartflash. So its time to close the thread.

Hi, and welcome!
Just to clear things up, your phone isn't bricked at the moment, right? It just keeps getting bricked once you try to flash that 'unlockable KDZ'? And it isn't rooted or unlocked yet either?
May I ask what method you're using to get your phone roooted and unlocked? I suggest you use this toolkit, since it takes most of the work out of your hands. I believe you need to be on a 4.1.2 version of stock for that tool, but you should read up on that yourself. With the tool, first root your device, then unlock it and finally install CWM recovery.
One important thing: since you want to make the switch to Android 4.4, you will need a recovery version that supports the latest Android. For CWM this is either 6.0.4.4 or 6.0.4.5. Just download it from their website and replace (and rename) the CWM recovery file in the resources of the above mentioned toolkit with the new one, before you flash it!
Good luck and report back!
EDIT:
Just reread your post, and now I'm not sure wether or not your device is still bricked? If it's bricked: Download the LGmobile support tool, make sure you have all the drivers, connect your phone in s/w update mode and force an update. Then just be patient.

Thanks dude, it was actually unbricked last month.
Everything didn't help me, unless one thing, as you said, it is LG software official update, it told me many times that there are some errors but I didn't give up, and yes after 4 tries, it completed the official update via LG software update tool.

Soft Bricked S6 Active Help !!!!!!!!!

Hello, I bought a Galaxy S6 Active used off of ebay that was already soft bricked. I could only get the phone into Download Mode and there was no Recovery of any sort.The phone was also of course stuck in a bootloop and would not display the normal charging icon when connected to a charger. I have flashed almost every type of firmware I can find and nothing has worked. I have no clue what version of android the phone is running but I would guess it is 6.0.1. I am a semi noob with the root process and XDA, so I have searched the forums for a custom Recovery because I figure this where I should start, seeing as I don't know how this phone was bricked or any specifics of the rooting methods that were applied. I successfully applied all the firmware for 5.11 and the phone still wont boot. I also tried Smart Switch and two different versions of Kies. I also have tried several autoroot methods that all failed. Also now when I plug the phone either into the computer or the charger it just goes directly to the bootloop and doesn't show a charging screen of any sort.Someone please help me. :crying::crying::crying:

Try 5 Files firmware :/

I recently flashed all the firmware files successfully and the phone still wont boot it just resets, and it still hasnt booted at all yet nor do I have a recovery yet.

Sounds like a boot error. You need to change the boot process i suggest installing twrp and then a canoygen mod rom.

You cannot install TWRP on the S6 Active. There are no custom ROMs for the S6 Active.

Tuff luck .Sorry to hear.

Are there any custom recoveries I can install because the phone is t bricked just not complete I believe.

I would beleive there would be recoveries. Have you tried Kies yet?

I have tried kies unsucessfully several times

That is okay. My mistake i just re read your 1st post. Do you know the model of the phone? It will help flash the proper firmware. While you are looking for that install the drivers needed for the phone on your p.c .

KIES is outdated. Please follow the instructions detailed in Step 2 on THIS post.

Yes use ODIN I will assume you will be going to the correct thread see you over there cheers byess.

This was one of the first things I tried and it has not worked I need a recovery to flash.

There is no alternate recovery (CWM or TWRP) for this phone.And we wont get one as long as bootloader is locked. The only solution for you is to odin flash every g890a file you find, perform factory reset an then try to boot the phone. Factory reset is mandatory.
You can enter factory recovery to make factory reset. That is the hard part.When flashing is done, phone reboots it self and you cant enter recovery.You have to pres power button long enough to force restart (it wil restart,not power off),then as soon as screen goes black,you pres recovery combo (pwr+home+vol up) and hope you get to recovery.You have to be very quick.It may take a few trys to success.
If after factory reset the phone still wont boot, move to the next file to flash using odin.
Be careful not to flash any file that is not for this phone, because the file may flash, but after that your phone may be permanently bricked.
There is a high chance that you may never fix your phone.
Hope you get back to us with good news.

umm, you say you tried flashing firmware? make sure its for the right model (ex: SM-G920) and (im not sure how vital this is) for the right phone carrier (ex: metro or sprint). or it wont work.
If you want a custome recovery you can flash TWRP, but the same rules above apply.
and pray its not a hardware error otherwise no ammount of flashing will save you, and you'll have to get a refund or accept you just got scammed.

- There's only one model of S6 Active
- There's only one carrier of S6 Active
- As stated before, there are no custom recoveries for S6 Active
- He purchased a broken device knowing it was a broken device. the seller is not liable in any way
Please read other threads and have some knowledge on the device at hand before submitting an answer. The amount of false information in this section of the forums is astounding.

To @jahdante, do not attempt to flash "every ODIN firmware you find". Your only, and most likely option is, as you have most certainly attempted, to use ODIN as detailed in this post. There has just been an updated ODIN binary (v12). Attempt to flash this VIA ODIN using the instructions detailed in the post linked previously. Please be sure you are using the latest version of ODIN (v3.12.3). If you do not have, or do not know if you have the latest version, you can find the download link to the latest version here, here, or in the first link.
If this fails, your best bet is to take the device to a Samsung Experience Center at the nearest Best Buy.

just use smart switch and its easy to recover your phone.

@mart3 I dont think anyone ever installed smart switch on this device because when I input the serial number smart switch always just closes. I would need the serial number of a phone that smart switch installed in order for this process to work. Also @FevenKitsune the newer Odin version did not help thank you for the suggestion though. I could use the serial number of a S6 Active with smartswitch installed strictly for the purposes of restoring the phone and nothing else if anyone could help please.
