bricked HD

So, lets start at the begining.
Today I was testing the new android build from 20nov.
Everything went fine until restarting my phone into windows. The phone did boot properly, exept the screen stayed off.
Touch input did work.
After a couple of restarts everything was back to normal and i picked up the testing from the android build again.
However, a later on the same problem arised. This time more persistent.
Also the led wouldn't go on anymore when charging the phone...
After 30 tries of rebooting a decided to hard-reset the phone by holding Vol down+up and power. Then waiting a while (because i couldn't see what was happening) and then pressed vol up to hard reset.
Then waited like 5 minutes and then tried to boot again by holding the power button.... Nothing
Then waited another 5 minutes, pulled out the battery and tried another boot.
No succes either.
Bottom-line now.
The phone is dead, won't react to anything, no charging no booting.
What can I do???
No stock rom, so i guess no warranty???
Really hope someone can help!!!

Ouch , you're right about the no guarantee rule but i don't know what u could do ..
Best of luck pal.

Maybe anyone got any experience with garanty+ a flashed rom.
Who brought therte phone back with a flashed rom without telling HTC and got their warranty?
Would be great if that worked (a)

Can you do anything with phone? Try taking battery out for 24hrs before re-inserting it and attempting to reboot. If you can still do nothing with device you may have bricked it and only thing which can be done is to return it, though warranty void. Have you tried asking within Android thread to see if anyone else has had similar issues?

Thanks for the battery tip, i'll try that!
about an hour ago i did get a little response from my phone. It vibrated after pushing the on button!
And then nothing....
This only happens when the phone is not connected to usb(charger or pc, no difference).
I did post my problem in the android thread, however no response.
I'll also PM phhusson about my problem. Would be nasty if more people would brick their phone.
Still like to hear some experiences with the garanty-service of HTC if anyone has got any

if it is so "dead" nobody can say if the ROM was original or not. let them think is a hardware problem and replace yr device!!

Well that is probably what i'm gonna do/try if I can't reanimate is myself
Just hope there really is no way of telling by HTC themselves...

Maybe try to see if you can flash a ROM image on it again from the SD card - doing it blind, there are only a few keys to press to reflash, maybe the screen is not working but the device powers up occasionally ?

Try to flash a new cooked rom. Remove battery, then wait 30 secs, then put back battery and push volume down and power button simultaneously. Then you can flash a new rom.
It worked for me.
(sorry for my "english")

intresting
so, tried to flash via RUU.exe+connecting to my pc.
What I did:
-Vol down+power button
-connect phone to my pc via usb.
-run RUU.exe with a dutty rom
-then RUU says it couldn't find my phone.
However, my pc (windows 7) does!
But not how it is supossed to do it.
Check out the screen to see what i mean.
Maybe something more can be doen now? Anyone knows what is going on here?

Maybe you just need to change drivers??? Becouse sometimes Vista change it by itself, so I think 7 can work in the same way?!
Try it, as far as can see from your screen there are no drivers installed
""Manufacturer: Unknown
Device Status: The driver for this device are not installed.""

Go to - Windows Mobile Device Center, then select - Mobile Device Settings, Connection Settings, then uncheck - Allow USB Connections.
Normally this would be ticked to allow syncs etc but to flash a rom it needs to be unchecked.
I cant tell from your post if you have done this or not.
Hope it helps.

I dont have W7 but would imagine it will be similar.

I don't really think it's compulsory to uncheck this. I have it checked and flash my roms without any problems.
But Blackstone is not a friend of Seven at first. You have to tell him to recognise the other.
I have installed the windows-mobile device center from microsoft website and then Windows 7 recognized my HD otherwise I got the same problem as you (no driver).
Hope it can help !

You may be right but mine will not work with the check mark still on.

It does look like a driver issue. Follow this thread to get the necessary usb drivers.

Do you have the Hspl? If yes can't you try flashing from the sd card? (The connection issue you showed is when you are in active sync mode, isn't it?)

Have you tried to flash an original ROM? It should work regardless of your USB connection settings and if you manage to do that and still no life in your hd - you can return it with warranty. And one more suggestion - find a XP machine to do this. Btw - flashing through the SD card is a very, VERY good idea.

succesfull flash, no result.
First of all, a huge thanks to you guys!
The idea's and help u came up with really made my day.
Second, I got to flash my phone. With the right drivers installed everything worked like it supposed to work.
However, the same problems still persist....
So I think this problem is deeper then rom orientated (ideas?)
Anyhow, now I'm able to flash a original rom to my phone, which should help my warranty!
Great job guys, kudos to you

I already tried flashing through the SD card. Normally this is the way to go for me, but it didn't seem to do any good this time (not sure if I performed it correctly, since my screen is "dead")

I'm a bit confused... you managed to flash rom? So your sync works? (on the other side you say your screen is dead?)

After taking a quick peek at the video, I noticed you already had the phone connected when you opened Odin. I'm guessing you've probably already tried this to get Odin to see the phone, but in case you haven't, restart the computer with the phone disconnected. Put the phone in download mode with the Jig, but don't connect it. Start up Odin, and then connect the phone.
That may also tie into the issues you're having with Heimdall. I can't guarantee it, but it's at least worth a shot if you haven't done that already.
Also, try unhooking all other USB devices from the computer. It may not matter, but having fewer USB things for the controller to look at may make a difference. And, as always, try different ports, rebooting if necessary.

thanks i from a port thats works better but now it says my partition is wrong who do i fix it

Sorry, but could you clarify a little bit where you're receiving the partition error message? Is your phone, Odin, Heimdall, or something else giving you that message? When is the message occurring? What is the exact message?
On a side note, in another thread, someone mentioned that the drivers for Heimdall and Odin seem to be mutually exclusive. If you want to use one or the other, it sounds like you'll have to uninstall the one you're not using.

it was heimdall one-click and im just trying to flash 2.3.4 and it says partition error

Ok. What you may want to try is to go here and download the full Heimdall 1.3.0 package. Since it looks like Heimdall is working to communicate with your phone, my guess is that you'll need to use the Heimdall front end and tell it to repartition your device (or whatever heimdall's equivalent of that is). Once you have that, you'll need to find a package that works with Heimdall to put UCKH3 on your device.
That being said, I've also seen that Heimdall currently may be having some issue with doing repartitioning. If so, you may need to head back to Odin land (with drivers) and grab UCKF1 to flash, with the repartition checked in full Odin 1.x. I'm linking to that specific UCKF1 package because it's stock, and has no bootloaders to possibly cause further issues. You can try the one-click version first, and if that doesn't work, grab full Odin and the 3-file package.

I just wanna say i love you if finally downloading if i could tell me how to repay you you have maid me one of the happiest peoples every

Glad to hear it's working. I'm just happy to give back.

Stuck in download mode

Hey guys my friend rooted his virgin mobile optimus elite ( I think its the same as the black) and when he flashed cwm from rom manager and tried to reboot into recovery it went into download mode and got stuck. the computer won't recognize the phone even with the proper lg drivers so we can't push any thing also can't get into recovery with button combo. Any suggestions?

Optimus Black is not like the elite at all (The only thing they have in common is that they look similar - in pictures in real life you can see the elite being smaller)
When I searched for Optimus Elite I got this :

Sounds like your friend got a shot bootloader. Theres nothing that can be done for a LG phone that relies on their update mode with shot bootloader.
Return it to the shops for repair and say you tried to update you phone and your computer lost power during the update and hope they believe you (throw in a few tears about how your life is ruined and you'll never buy a LG product again and you should have nothing to worry about - they'll fix it for you). A failed official update is the only thing that can kill your bootloader that doesn't kill your warranty.
I said all this amusing that the optimus elite uses lg's software update bootloader.
Did you try fastboot yet?

Good day all, I'm the one that OP referenced. Somehow in the process of rooting this guys phone I incorrectly took the Elite and the Black to be the same model. Of course upon looking them up they are obviously different... problem remains that I now have a phone in download mode, windows sees it and loads drivers but no talky. LG mobile support tool attempts to update it but it craps out around 20% heimdall and odin don't negotiate with it. As suggested above it likely is a paper weight and is bound for RTV but as it isn't my phone I'd like to exhaust all efforts before I tell the owner that I bricked his toy.
Fastboot returns: <waiting for device>

If fastboot says waiting for device then it's a no go for fastboot. Still not sure why Lg removed it. Its just so convenient.
I can't say I'm suprised to hear Samsung Software doesn't work with a Lg Phone
When you say SFT. What firmware are you trying to flash? What model.dll are you using? All downloads for that I know of got model.dll of Optimus Black included. What method did you use to root in the first place?

rooted with poot, everything seemed fine till reboot at which point I get this lovely download mode screen and nothing else.
I was trying to flash using the official LG tool which auto downloads the firmware I'm not sure which version it is grabbing but no doubt the latest.
as for odin/heimdall, I know, I know...samsung, but I was hoping for some sign of life/port negotiation at least.
and yeah, why they'd do away with fastboot is beyond me, it's fantastic.
so to recap, no ADB(seemingly. nothing in DevMan) no fastboot, no official LG mobile support tool.

Thats good to hear. If you use the proper model.dll with SFT and bin files for Optimus Elite then it should work aswel. SFT is after all just a compact version of LGFlashTool.

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!

Try to remove the batt. For 10 mins and place it back in the phone.
Then try to boot into download mode again

Thanks for the advice, I'll try it right now.
But I'm not sure if it will work because I couldn't boot into Download mode by buttons even when the phone was working well.
I've tried these.

USB Jig it's just to force boot in download mode, are you sure that keys work?

Thanks for repying!
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

Thanks for suggesting, but I couldn't get into download mode even when I stopped pressing the buttons 1s after the vibration...

I guess it's an issue by param.lfs, there's nothing you can do without an USB Jig now

I see. I'm about to make the USB Jig that I've linked in before. Hope It will work.
Also, what kind of things modify that file? Custom ROMs, basebands?

That file (if not manually touched) is touched only through Odin tar.md5.
If can help you, this is my homemade Jig

Solder quality isn't perfect lol
I used 3 resistors, one 1KOhm and two 150KOhm in series to have 301KOhm (without calculating tolerance, 5%)
MicroUSB type B male pinout
Solder resistor/s between pins 4 and 5

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 the pictures!

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...
