Hello,
I made the mistake of taking my Lg Thrill p925 and trying to install an ICS mod on android froyo. (QMEMO), So anyway's when I had tried to boot up the Thrill, and discovered it was stuck in a boot lock. After going back into CWM I had done a factory reset and realized it continued to remain in a boot lock. At first I had gone and cleared everything then reinstalled the stock rom after discovering that didn't work, without considering the consequences I had cleared the internal sd card. I quickly realized I made a mistake, thinking that the system file's would remain unchanged I went ahead and cleared it. I was wrong and there was nothing left and no backup's made to a nonpresent external SD card.
Originally I though ok no big deal I can just go in CWM which support's adb sideload and reinstall the stock rom/ system files. I discovered that the Thrill was not recognized by the pc as anything but an LGE COSMO usb Device and there is no driver to be installed for this. So I basically gave up hope after that thinking I had tried everthing (odin included). So I was wondering is there any other way to reinstall the system file's so I can stop using the Iphone 3g I had laying around . If you can help me please let me know.

i have a similar problem
hi Garret_Broemser
did you find the driver for LGE COSMO USB device?

i had network problems (3g stopped working, don't know why), and had an old version of doc's. so i figured i'd install the new version after a wipe, see if that'd fix it.
just to be safe, i went in recovery (clockwork) and restored an earlier backup. it worked, but still no internet. upon remembering that this was the backup i made just after installing docs, i went back to my previous backup, stock rom, i think 2.1.
this is where stuff went wrong. i hadn't disabled the lagfix (forgot which one, i remember i had ext4 as filesystem), and now, no matter what i do, my phone won't go past the boot screen. big lettering galaxy s, smaller gt-i9000 and at the bottom samsung, you know the one.
i tried everything i could imagine. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, re-restore to the oldest backup. only then did i remember the lagfix and remove it. retried all of those, still no dice.
i can get into recovery mode, both clockwork and 2e, and i can get into download mode.
when i connect my phone to my pc, it doesn't notice. when selecting mount in clockwork, it mounts, and shows the two drives in my computer, but when i try to open one of the drives, i get nothing.
i installed docs rom a while back, and have wiped my pc since then, so i have no files from that. i have installed the android sdk, but don't know how to use it, let alone how to use it with a phone that doesn't show.
all i want is to get back to stock, for now. try again from there.
can i? or have i ruined my phone?
edit:
wow... take about relief.
i used odin to flash xxjpu, 2.2.1, and it seems to have worked!
in case anyone else is stuck on a boot screen, download mode with odin means you're safe.
anyone with more sense than i showed in my stupidity, sorry for adding another semi useless topic.

I switch back and forth between miui and CM7 on my nexus and had that happen once.Here is what I did......
First I redownloaded the rom on my computer. I wanted a clean download to make sure that it wasn't a bad download that was causing the problem.
Next, I booted into recovery, selected mounts and storage, connected the phone to the puter via usb and selected usb mount and copied the new download over. When done unmount the phone, disconnect the cable, and back out of that menu in recovery.
Now I wiped everything. Then went into "advanced" in recovery and wiped the dalvik. Then backed out of that and went into "mounts and storage" and formatted /boot and /system to make sure there was nothing left from any previous roms.
Then I backed out of that and "install zip from sd card", selected the new download of the rom and reflashed it. Flashed gapps afterward and rebooted from the menu.
It worked and that took care of it. I am not sure if it was a bad download, that there was bits of a previous rom floating around in /system or something else I didn't even know, but it worked and I do this now whenever I am switching from one rom to another.
Hope that helps.
In short: Canceled Factory Reset, Now my SD card is not being detected properly and I am unable to format/mount it in recovery
Hey Everyone,
I've recently created quite a frustrating problem on my HTC Vivid that I'm unable to figure out. While attempting to go into CWM Recovery to check what version I have I accidentally selected Factory Reset from the bootloader. I quickly pulled the battery, as my back cover was off, within a second or two of this selection, and to my knowledge the phone was still on the bootloader screen and hadn't begun the process. After rebooting into my ROM and I attempted to install TWRP Recovery via Goo Manager in preparation for flashing a new ROM. After the download timer expired my Goo Manager crashed. Any attempt to install via Goo Manager since then is giving me this error, or it just hangs at the download web page. I suspect that this is because of the botched Factory Reset I mentioned earlier, and I'm worried I've somehow messed up the internal SD. My internal sd card is not detected by the camera app nor correctly seen in my file manager, in settings it is reported at the correct size, but apparently all my media has been deleted. I'm unable to format/mount ext sd or emmc in Recovery. My questions are: Has my sd card been corrupted, and If so, why did all my apps and user data remain? Secondly, how can I remedy this situation? I should mention that my phones data port is basically unusable, so I am unable to connect my device to a PC and use adb/fastboot.
My recovery is CWM 5.5.0.4 and my ROM is CM-10.2 | AOSP 4.3.1 Jellybean [KANG] [Oct-31] My phone is unlocked and S-OFF
Update: I tried to Factory Reset, thinking maybe what got me into this mess would get me out, but that option just takes me into recovery. This leaves me even more puzzled. I followed that up with a factory reset/davlik cache wipe from recovery but that hasn't done anything either. My conclusion thus far is that I need to somehow reformat my internal storage, is that possible without connecting my phone to a pc?
Thank you for any responses, and taking the time to read this.
I inadvertently hit the factory reset once from the boot loader and it did the reset in just a few seconds. It hosed my internal memory and unfortunately had to run the ruu to fix it. I know that is not what you want to hear if you can't connect it to a computer.

Seriously?
I have answered this question literally 100 times...
Please use the search feature...
Or at least scroll down and read thread titles...
And if your port is borked... Replace it

I did a forum search, I was unable to find a satisfactory answer so I started my own thread. (All were referring to using some method of connecting the phone to a PC)
If anyone is wondering, I solved my problem by simply doing a reset/data wipe via recovery and reflashing my ROM. During setup it prompted me to format my internal storage and now my phone is behaving as normal.

Right, I was foolish enough to try rooting, and installing Cyanogen mod on my Optimus 4X HD, without any prior experience. I was quite nervous about it all, but after my phone started acting like a retard, I decided to go through with it. Found a guide online.
I rooted it, installed CWM (or atleast I thought I did), then I hit enter Recovery Mode, and got stuck in a bootloop where the LG logo was just flashing. Then I went into Android Recovery (which I thought was CWM at first) and wiped the cache, wiped data / factory reset, and tried to apply an update that was on my SD card (where I put the Cyanogen zip). It would not find my SD card, probably because its in NTFS format, and not FAT32. Still stuck in a bootloop.
I then decided to revert back and install a new FW.
Heres a list of what Ive tried, and what errors Ive got when Ive booted the phone into SW update mode. (Vol down and power)
LG Mobile Support (Error: Phone has newest version of software)
LG PC Suite (Error: Same as above)
Software Update through KDZ file (Error: Phone / device not found)
Software Update through .DZ & .DLL file (Error: No progress being made on LG FLASH TOOL, also tried different versions)
Ive tried countless versions of drivers, uninstalling and installing every single one of them. Also disabling / enabling USB MODEM DRIVER did not help. My last idea is to put an update on my SD card after Ive bought a mem card reader and made it into FAT32, could that work? If so, where can I get the update? Hope you can help a desperate man. Thank you.
Running Win8.1 64bit.
PS If you need any more info, please ask and I will fill you in as detailed as I can.

since you haven't able to apply update, just wiped thing, I see no reason you cant' boot to stock LG
0) " made it into FAT32, could that work? If so, where can I get the update? " -> do more research
1) Did you unlock bootloader? if dont know then do more research
2) kdz update: windows enabler on? dont understand -> more research
3) driver: unplug, remove battery, hold volume down, insert batt back, plug in

0) Okay
1) No, bootloader is locked
2) I tried flashing with KDZ v20b, but phone was not found with the application. Tried several drivers and USB ports. Enabler was on yes.
3) Those instructions have been followed.
LS.xD told me it could be because of win 8.1, so I will try with win 8 and win 7 later today.
He also said Ive been stupid for trying to do this with android 4.0.3, and not updating to 4.1.2 first. I guess this is what happens when a noob tries new stuff, although the guide I followed did not bother mention that.
Issue has been solved. Thank you for everyone that helped, especially LS.xD.
My problem was a OS / Driver Compatibility issue. I tried installing a driver, and flashing with v20a on my neighbors computer, and it worked 1st time. We were both running win 8.1, but something must be wrong with my computer I guess.
I have the same problem and i don't know what to do
i have tried different computers and i still having the same problem
phone is n't found
any one can help me plz

Check the conductivity of the cable and USB ports.
Then follow the instructions LG-P880 Firmware flash,upgrade,downgrade improved.
Well I'm very, very scared. I stupidly decided to start afresh on stock, as things had been buggy on the cyanogen nightlies (surpirse surprise)
So I went into TWRP and did advanced wipe, and deleted the system and internal memory. I had backup up a nandroid backup onto my pc a while ago but restored my PC and forgot to put it back again.
I'm stuck in recovery mode, and I thought I would be fine right? Just put the zip file onto the "Internal Storage" section on windows. First it won't let me copy it; ok I unplug and plug it in again. Now its not showing under windows. I do /adb devices and its showing up. My question is I need to do /adb push aosp.zip (phone). But what is the "path" of the top of internal storage? I'm super scared right now. Because doesn't "USB Debug" have to be enabled??? Please help me....
With all that is going on, it just seems you may want to do a total reset. Meaning, reset even your boot loader and recovery. Best option imo is to download the official nexus 6 factory image, and use fastboot commands to install it on your device. It sucks to start from scratch, but its better than damaging the device.
Right about now wug's nexus root tool kit would be your friend.
I Got It Fixed Thank GOD
Sorry guys, sorta panicked, just got my nexus yesterday I don't know why windows wasn't picking it up, but when I ran
Code:
/adb push aosp.zip /
and nothing happened I was so scared and quit cmd and tried again. But then I tried, came posted here, and realised it was just taking a few minutes to copy So a few minor problems from there, but I am now up and running! Thanks for the suggestions anyway. Gotta sleep now up wayyy to late and need to wake up early tomorrow Thanks a bunch anyways!
PS: I have no idea how to mark as solved.... So if a mod see this
