WARNING regarding the OTA update

Hey guys, do not flash the OTA update manually with CWM, it bricked my tab an will most likely brick yours too.
Make sure your tab is stock 3.0.1 and wait patiently.

To clarify, I'm taking about the OTA zip from Google, not the cwm backup.

I'm not sure what I must do to go back to stock rom and recovery so I can receive OTA, do you have any link you can point me to?

Tbh it's not such a crazy thing to think that the OTA was ok to flash with CWM.on the galaxy nexus that was fine to do.
But I learned my lesson and I'm starting to understand the reasons why

Just wondering if anyone has had any success in unbricking their tab yet. I was reading through old forum posts and there was a thread where fricorico had flashed a transformer rom and couldn't load fastboot or download mode. He said that he managed to get his tab into apx mode and could then eventually get the tab back up and running.
I can't post a link because I'm on the xda app but our forum isn't too big to find it and try. Also, not sure what or how to get into apx mode though so this post may be literally useless to most people. But maybe someone knowledgeable will remember something as a result.

The recovery mode does not work and I can not restart normally, I try to re-partition "Q1_20110914_16GB.pit." it took time over 15min so I unplugged and I are extending the phone after that it turns more
sorry for the spelling

Pit files should be used as a last resort, never a first. There's a chance you're bricked, although I doubt it.

Take out the battery for 1 minute.
Put it back in and then try to start the phone in download mode
Even if the screen stays black, it might still be in download mode...
Start pc din, connect the phone and see if the PC odin port goes yellow.
if it does then flash a complete rom with original pitfile nd bootloaders, since you seem to have screwed up your partitions.

How do i fix my Bricked phone !! URGENT

Hi dheeraj, is it possible that an empty or totally dead battery could prevent your phone from "memorizing" the flashing you do with Odin, so to send the device always in boot loop? I'm asking this since I'm having the same problem that the user who opened this thread has described, even if with a GT-S6500. It can only go into download mode, but not into recovery mode (could it be soft bricked?). I don't know what the previous owner did, but I'm trying to resurrect the phone. Thanks in advance for your help.

thought your problem got solved
no it cannot happen that without battery the memory would be washed out as it is written on a storage kind of device
what you can do is just flash a four package firmware through odin (phone, pda, csc etc. slots filled)
let the phone reboots on it own, after rebooting the mobile will automatically go into stock recovery and will do some processing and you would be done

I need help please!

Let it cool down.
Enter into Software update mode by pressing Power + Volume Down key together.

[q] lg flash tool not helping for stock!!!! You will be thanked

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING FOR better understanding
Hey fellow LG Owner(s) I am writing this asking for some help. I know that majority of LG Phones use the same software and flashing tools regarding taking your phone back to stock. I currently own an LG G Flex (LS995 Sprint Variant) and I managed to soft brick my phone. I have posted this same message over at the LG G Flex Threads but so far I have gotten no one to provide me some sort of solution on how to un-brick or factory reset my phone.
The status of my phone before it got bricked was it had Root (IOROOT method), Busy-Box (by Jrummy), Build.Prop was edited to display as a Nexus 5, and boot-loader locked along with no custom recovery. If you’re wondering why my boot-loader was locked and why there wasn’t any type of custom recovery was due to the sad fact that Developers are having a hard time on cracking it.
Now to explain on how I soft bricked my phone. I was changing my font style by using a tool called ROM Toolbox (by Jrummy). I managed to change my font once and I attempted to change it a second time, since I was looking for something that displayed it wider and bolder. So as I applied install on the new font I got an automatic reboot.
The reboot consisted of the normal LG Logo display, followed by a black screen and staying as a black screen. On the upper left of my phone the notification indicator was flashing multiple colors (red, white, blue etc). This is the current state of my phone, black screen with a multicolor notification.
My attempts to fix:
- Simple reboot of the phone ((fail))
- Let the phones battery drain out then charge for a few minutes and restart ((fail))
- Managed to get into STOCK recovery and perform clean partition ((fail)
- Managed to get into STOCK recovery and apply factory reset ((fail))
- I got into some weird mode which also gave me the option to apply factory reset ((fail))
- I followed this tutorial (LG Flash Tool) on how to revert back to stock (by hyelton) ((fail))
Link to tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083
The tutorial by hyelton was almost successful to reverting back to stock firmware until I got to the last step (Number 6). The error that occurred by using the LG Flash Tool was when the tool attempted to flash the stock firmware it gave me a Download FAIL!! “Device Model is different“ notification (Images below). I did this tutorial at least seven times and I got no luck. Every single time that I attempted to do this I kept getting the same notification. I have now ran out if ideas on what to do.
My theory, I believe that by changing my build prop to display as a nexus 5 is the reason why I keep getting this fail notification. On the phone it-self when I put it into download mode it even displays as a Nexus 5 (Images below).
I was wondering since it’s possible to get into STOCK RECOVERY, I saw that it had an option for “ADB SIDELOAD” is it possible to push something thru ADB??? Any type of help is greatly appreciated and thanked. Please do not get upset that you see this in multiple LG threads, I am just trying to find a solution to UNBRICK this very expensive phone that I bought and I cannot afford to just use it as a paper weight. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS
Here is a Link to all my files regarding STOCK tot,dll,lg flash tools,aboot, buildprop, lg usb drivers and adb drivers that are for my phone
Link: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1D8UNLjuTB6TWpCQ1pJME5qWk0&usp=sharing

Alright yall, I am almost official screwed. I purchased this phone about a month ago from Best Buy and they stated that I am out of there 15 day window so I cannot exchange or replace for the same phone. I then went to Sprint on whom I have phone insurance for and they stated that they cannot do anything and that I have to go to one of their Sprint repair stores. I went to one of the repair stores and the gentlemen that assisted me plugged my phone to his computer and immediately knew that my phone was rooted. So from there I played the dumb blonde card acting like I don’t know what he’s talking about and from there he directed me to call LG and see what they can do. So now the current status is I filed a repair request and now I am awaiting a reply from LG. Does anyone have any suggestion???
**SOLUTION** hey yall i got the solution to my problem and it was simply by downloading this universal custom .dll from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663369
and i managed to flash back to stock recovery using this guide. instead using the dll on the the guide i used the custom one.

am i officially screwed?? - sprint LS995
by using ROM tool box (by Jrummy) it’s an awesome app but I decided to play around with the custom font option and when I tried to install another custom font it decided to reboot my phone to the LG logo and from there the screen goes black with the little indicator light on the upper right of the phone flashing multiple colors.
Fixes that i have attempted to apply where:
-multiple reboots nothing happened same results
-let the battery drain out of the phone then let it charge for a bit and restart it with no luck
-go into recovery mode to clear partition and reboot, but no luck
-go into recovery mode and apply factory reset but no luck
At the end of all these attempts I continue to get the LG LOGO and after that has played out i get a black screen with my notification indicator flashing multiple different colors.
** so i decided to go back to stock firmware by following hyelton directions and so far i got everything to work but one thing which is i remember changing my build prop a while ago to be noticed as a nexus 5 and now the LG Flash tool wont update my phone to the stock firmware because it recognizes it as another device. please help me, there has to be another way around this **
Also what option was I suppose to choose when installing lg flash tool. Was it the global mode or test mode?? Because I chose the global mode I hope I was correct.

It depends, do you have insurance through best buy or sprint? I'm sure no matter what if you take it back to best buy and tell them that you bought the phone and haven't dropped it or anything that they will replace it being it is so new still
Sent from my LG-LS995 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I'm just going to throw my opinion out there. I hate returning a phone that you broke. It's not sprints fault or best buys fault. As a matter of fact they did everything they could(locked bootloader, no root, etc. ) to stop this. There's a reason every carrier has started locking bootloaders now.
You're a grown man so do whatever you want just thought I would throw an opinion out there. Plus recovering this is a good learning experience. I bet you'll learn a lot about the workings of Android in the end

You're a grown man so do whatever you want just thought I would throw an opinion out there. Plus recovering this is a good learning experience. I bet you'll learn a lot about the workings of Android in the end

I agree. I saw way too much of that in the T-Mobile galaxy s3 forum. It seriously irritates me when people do that.

I will say this. I do agree that it is kind of wrong. But when corporations make over triple the profit of a phone then I don't really see anything wrong with it. If they wouldn't have locked the phone down to where we could have a recovery on it right now he wouldn't be going through this problem. He could have restored a nandroid or flashed a new Rom. I have never had to return a phone for this reason. I mean hell, I bought a spare just so I could finish my tether mod and not have to keep using LG flash tool on my daily driver. Plus all a cell phone company is going to do is send it back to LG and get another free phone out of it. Yes it is his fault for changing the build.prop and other mods. Everyone makes mistakes and the best of us learn from them. I'm sure Christiam learned his lesson. I don't feel he should have to spend 599 to buy a new phone for it, when it probably cost under 100 to make.

I completely agree also because (my opinion) if you return a phone, they will try to do everything possible to make it as new and sell it but the people that will spend money to work on YOUR phone are going to be paid from LGE because of YOUR error, not LG's. If LG pays those people to spend time on YOUR phone, the prices of the next phones (by LG) will grow up. I said it, my opinion (99% of times I am wrong)

Link to All Stock Files, Tools and More
Here is a Link to all my files regarding STOCK tot,dll,lg flash tools,aboot, buildprop, lg usb drivers and adb drivers that are for my phone

i hope these files help anyone that are attempting to help me put my phone back to stock

I wonder how lgflash determines what firmware you're flashing? Is it just the file name out the build.prop if the file? I ask because maybe we can tell the tool the file you're flashing is for a nexus so it matches your current build prop. I'll look and see if I can figure it out tomorrow, but maybe one of our pros already know
