Hi everybody
First to say is that i'm a noob in this thing, and i searched but couldn't find the right thing
I have a big problem, my computer does not recognize my phone after unlocking the bootloader. It just play the identification-sound but i cant find it in the explorer and the phone is not charging.
I tried to unlock and root the phone with the all-in-one tool. The first steps went without problem but when i tried to flash the cwm it didn't work.
I really dont know what to do
I'm very happy if anybody could help me.
Thanks a lot
and sorry for my bad english

Tried unlocking the bootloader last night using the guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254225)...
went back to stock rom (just to be safe) did everything all right up to step 5c.
started flashtool, plugged in my device however flashtool could not recognize it. it kept asking me what phone i had, after i ticked th e15 ( i have e15i) it could not let me do anything undere plugins. after closing flashtool and restarting the procces a couple of times i guess i disconnected the cable without closing flashtool and then it happened.
all of that just because i wanted wifi tethering. Ironicly, I found out about Barnacle about an hour after it happened. right now my phone is at the shop, waiting for news.
So.... to sum up. If anyone wants to know how not to unlock his bootloader, THIS IS HOW
woahh.. that's pain..
OMG I DIED AT THE SAME PART U DID ..high 5 ...so yea..i oso sent mine to the repairman...lets hope for good news for both of us =) , mine just wont respond to anything and ended up being a brick

I broke my phone ( radio off ) using this same guide too, have to re-lock in order to get back to work. Read other guides and finally managed to unlock the ootloader! Basically this guide is rather confusing and somehow the flow of processes are not well written! After having gone through the whole experience, it's actually a very simple process!
You have my sympathy!
does anyone know why it happened? Why weren't our phones recognized leading to the brick?
what do we have to do differently?

I have to agree with u those steps are confusing for first time unlocker and you have to re-read multiple times to summary and simplify it (i use that tutorial though).
Relocking bootloader is kinda confusing too..
Return to the official original edition
I think you have to download a Flashtool up to date.Then fash to the official original edition
Actually, re-locking is pretty simple, connect your phone to S1tool-1, and press " RESTORE" button, viola, done. Only the guide tries to get very technical complicated and confuse everyone!

I too find the guide rather confusing... Which other guides did you read? I couldn't find any. Thanks!
and @dovdevan05: Dont expect too much of barnacle. Lot's of people have problems with it. Like in my case I can connect to my phone but my computer wont get an IP and hence no internet. + barnacle only offers Ad-Hoc-Wifi which means that you cannot connect other devices like a tablet ot phones to it because they usualy dont support Ad-Hoc. Like in my case my XOOM wont even see the barnacle Ad-Hoc network and I would have to unlock and root it to install AdHoc support. Well. I'd rather brick my X8 than my XOOM...

make sure you have installed phone driver on your computer.. I think the problem is usb phone driver..
cheers..
In fact I knew sthm was wrong with driver, just needed a confirmation from somebody else. Searched google for a bit and found out what i was missing. Thanks a lot though for ur help. Thanks button pressed
Right guys, i know youve read this alot. and i know your thinking i should have searched the threads for a sulotion, but belive me i have, for days.
heres my problem, i was flasing the leaked ics onto my p990. whilst flashing, my laptop ran out of battery and didnt give me any warning atall. and as a result of that, i now have i belive a bricked p990. this is the rom i was flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926700
right now i know i should be able to recover my phone as i can connect my phone and it recognises it as apx driver, but the trouble is i can put in updating mode. ( vol down and then inserting usb) i plug in the usb without the battery inserted and without pushing any buttons and it still recognises it as an apx device, knowing this, ive tried nvflash and smart flash but both have no effect and dont recognise my phone. i will add that the version of ics that is currently out leaked. is very smooth, unfortunately bluetooth pairing doesnt work properly and wifi is a bit weak, but theres a fix for that.
i have tried flashing a cwm but to no succes. i do know some things in android flashing and repairs, but admittidly not everything so im not a complete noob.
id very much apreciate it if anyone could help me.
youll have to excuse any typing mistakes. the resolution on the tv isnt that great from a laptop hdmi out. sorry guys.
but yes any help is much appreciated.
thanks in advance guys
ricky
well, windows MUST recognize the o2x as an apx device since you would use the tegra apx applications processors...
you are saying that windows sees your o2x as an apx device but nv/smart-flash don't?

Nvflash should do the trick. Follow the instructions carefully and you'll be back up in no time.

This is my first post here in xda although i'm a frequent reader.
Today i tried to istall CM and follow some tutorial. During the procedure, my phone reboot and now is stucked in LG logo.
I don't know what to do, and I read a lot of threads here and didn't find a solution.I tried factory reset, i tryed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 (one of the programs don't work on windows 8).
Could you please tell me the best and simpliest way to solve the situation?
Thank you

You haven't followed the tutorial correctly, or you didn't have the right version of Stock first, or you didn't root first...
The program works absolutely fine on Windows 8 as I run it on Win 8 (& 8.1) 64-bit with no issues whatsoever.
Just slow down, re-read and follow the instructions correctly.

i believe your bootloader must still be locked. dont torture yourself to flash kdz to go back if u are going to try again for a custom. try again and again until u unlock bootloader and flash the recovery. plz dont ask how. search. u will find everything. i used to have windows 8 x64 too when i did all the procedure in summer. u will be fine , u only need to find the right guide :good: there are 3 ways to unlock the bootloader.
Probably i did something wrong because the program crashed every time I tried to load the kdz file. I tried again and finally the phone starts again.
I don't know what I did wrong before, but probably I need to study a little more before trying to install a custom rom.
Thanks!
