Bricked?

I'm helping my friend install CM7.
So i installed cm7 on my friends phone, but the drivers for the phone weren't installing on my windows 7(64bit) computer. so i went into recovery tried to flash a different rom, but it wouldnt let me, so i tried running a backup(2.2 froyo), it got to the bootloader sequence and then it aborted. I idiotically decided to just click on reboot phone and now its stuck on the Att logo screen. But I can boot into DOWNLOAD MODE, i just cant run odin since my drivers aren't installed.
I can't install the drivers on my computer. I tried the 64 and 32 bit, I tried the drivers from the samsung website, and i also tried the Kies_Mini_For_Captivate. I tried all of these while running cm7 and now.
Is the phone bricked or could it still be saved?
Thanks in advance if anyone could help me.
Thanks to rselvaggio for helping me try to get the drivers installed, but no luck.

If the phone shows ANY signs of life, there is hope. Try using your buddies computer. And I would recommend using drivers from DesignGears page on one click recovery. Remember, search is your friend. Use it early, use itoften.

^^^ what he said.
Just search for the drivers and get them installed on some computer, then you will be able to use odin one click to go back to stock. Make sure you get the right odin though, should be the simple one with only two buttons.

Make sure you're using a usb port that's on the motherboard (usually the ones at the back of the computer)

Help! 4x hd CWM bootloop error! Flashed wrong CWM.

Hello I have an unlocked Lg optimus 4x hd software version 4.1.2 JB. I recently successfully rooted it but CWM said there wasn't one available for my phone on the rom manager app so i found one. I would post a direct link to it but apparently im not allowed to yet.
I realised that this was realised almost a year ago after the fact, this probably is what messed my phone up.
I installed it and ran it, when my phone rebooted it was stuck in a boot-loop. I can still access the default android recovery screen and I tried hard resets and clearing the caches but I'm still stuck on the LG logo. My computer still says that its installing drivers when i plug the phone in but it won't let me do any thing. I have looked around the forums and the solutions i found aren't helping me. Any help would be appreciated.

Adb sideload

Access the android recovery screen, then select adb sideload.
if you can access adb mode, you can use all in one tools.
ALL IN ONE (TOOL)
Try this way.
Good luck

How do I do that. I feel like I've tried it before. CWM didn't load properly on my phone so I cant do anything involving the use of it.

You just need to be able to get in S/W Mode by pressing "Vol- & connect to PC".
For a better flash try to use LGFlash Tool, look here:

great it looks like im nearly there but where you saw three ports active and one actually downloading i only saw one active but it wasn't downloading, i feel as if though it could work i just need a little more help. Sorry if this is wasting your time...

simple, run windows enabler to ON, connect phone in S/W mode, go to device manager -- modems --- LG xxxxx *13 ... and the number is the port ... for me i have 13 port selected .. or you can try one by one ... if one fail ( RED --- FAIL TO OPEN) then try another ...

Thank you everyone!!
It worked thank you guys soo much!!

Hi there,
I flashed the wrong cwm as well on my gf phone. (she's going to kill me)
Anyway, the All-In-One tool does'nt help me. I can perform the root (which is useless, because I cant even boot) but I cannot anything. I think it's because no sd is mounted.
Code:
Choose The Number :-7
Now connect your phone with "Debugging" enabled .
Drücken Sie eine beliebige Taste . . .
Copying files ,, Please wait ...
failed to copy 'O4X_OR_R.img' to '/mnt/sdcard/O4X_OR_R.img': No such file or dir
ectory
sh: cat: /mnt/sdcard/O4X_OR_R.img: No such file or directory
rm failed for /mnt/sdcard/O4X_OR_R.img, No such file or directory
I can't even boot into the S/W mode. I just get a grey (or sometimes blue) screen.
Please help!

try to take the battery out plug the phone with a cable on your computer. Insert battery again. Flash firmware

Follow instructions found in the internet. I can give you a link but its in german. There is probably an english equivalent here somehwere.

[Q] Help required, Think I deleted my One.

So as I tried to update to new software I noticed it just kept booting into TWRP. So I decided I wanted to unroot my phone. Didn't go so well. I rebooted and now it just keeps booting into recovery. I have no idea what to do now. I have a backup on my computer, but the device is not recognized anymore. So I can't just copy it over to my phones storage.
A tutorial or walkthrough on how to restore your phone from a backup on your computer would be really great. Everything you can do that is help related is appreciated to.

I am not familiar with adb, and im trying to install it now. But just get that the command isn't recognized.
more info on what commands to use would be very useful

http://www.androidcentral.com/android-201-10-basic-terminal-commands-you-should-know
You'll probably want to use ADB push.

update
Yea thanks. I found out a few minutes ago. That I were able to push files from my computer over to the sdcard using the command. ADB push rom.zip sdcard/rom.zip
took a while, and am using a custom rom, which looks to be running pretty nice.

How do push a file via TWRP on this phone?

well, I did something stupid and wiped everything, including the 2 zip files needed to flash the KK rom for Tmobile..
my twrp is working fine; is there a easy way to transfer the 2 zip files back onto my phone via twrp?
thanks!

Does adb work in or twrp? If so it's just
Adb push ZIPNAME /sdcard

I dont know; there is an adb sideload command in twrp, but it doesnt seem to do anything; Plus I am not sure if my phone is connected via adb..
I know I have the right lg drivers on my computer, but when I run any adb command, the phone doesnt respond.

Honestly I think what you need to do is restart and just lgflash JB then you can just access your sdcard

This is where external storage comes in handy
Sent from my LG-D959 using Tapatalk

you can say that again; this is the first phone that I have had in a long time without an sd card, and it was "mental muscle memory" that made me wipe everything..
Now, my phone is viewed as an F340k, since that's what the twrp on this phone is based on, so I wonder if I would have a problem using lg flash...this is a tmobile phone, but it might "think" its an f340k..
If I can flash the drivers for a f340 on my computer, then I might be able to adb sideload via twrp..otherwise I am not sure what will happen.
I have been leaving my phone just sit in recovery, as I dont know what would happen if I shut if off, and rebooted to system..
Hope its not brick city for me..

Well try to go to download mode and flash stock. You should be able to get back into recovery again if needed.

How did you make out? I have been trying to figure out what drivers I need for adb to recognize my phone in twrp. Hope you recovered

Got to adb sideload. Swipe to enable. Open up a command promp on computer and type adb sideload then place your zip file here and hit enter

I have been trying that; the problem is, that my phone now "thinks" its a f340k, and not a d959
I have been trying to install drivers so my win 8.1 machine can "see" the phone, so I can run adb sideload, but for some reason, I cant get it to "see" the phone in ADB..I keep getting a message in the command prompt, "device not found"
.I have downloaded drivers that "should" work, but its a WHQL win driver from LG, and it doesnt seem to have the proper drivers to enable my computer to "see" the phone in ADB..
Not a happy camper right now..

Maybe a usb otg would work if you put the rom.zip on the flash drive. There is an option to mount USB-OTG

I dont think that would help because my phone isn't being "seen" by my computer, while in twrp recovery
If I could just find the f340k driver by itself, without the WHQL "bundle", I think I could get it to recognize the phone, and then transfer files on to it..
I've looked everywhere, and cant seem to find that driver by itself anywhere..

Not sure but it worked on the similar G2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2492911 sorry just read further in that thread and you may be right. sorry

I can get into download mode, but I cant get the lg flash tool to see the phone either...any suggestions at this point?
thanks
EDIT:
How can I boot to recovery at this point?
When I hold power and down, I get a screen with all Chinese writing on it, and my IEMI code on the bottom of the page..Power and up gets me the same thing..

another guess. I know with windows 7 the only way I could use fastboot was with the pdanet drivers otherwise my phone wouldn't connect to the pc. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/android-drivers-adb-and-fastboot-android-phones-tablets/

thanks, but the computer still doesnt see the phone..
do you know how I can get the phone into recovery at this point?
TWRP should still be on it, but I cant get i to boot into twrp.

I've been trying all day to do just that, but my phone isnt being seen by my computer..
I think the problem is that my phone is a d959 tmo, but, the freedomflex recovery installed,(twrp) has changed my phone to a f340k, and I cant get any drivers to recognize the phone, so without that, I can't do anything with it..
Since the last working thing was TWRP recovery, is there a way for me to boot into twrp at this point?
All I can do is get in download mode, or another mode which shows all Chinese text/language on it, with my IEMI code on the bottom of the page..
Otherwise, I will have to ebay this thing, and hope someone with more dev skills than me can restore it somehow..
thanks!

Sigh, Im an Idiot after all these years with android. I accidentally wiped everything

So I rooted my phone HTC one verizon m7 with sunshine and towelroot and it worked. It has been awhile since i flashed and installed roms.
So I installd TWRP and roms , The rom wouldnt work and it would go back to TWRP. and I Forgot to back up/nandroid then i panicked - Accidentally wiped everything...now I'm stuck in TWRP with nothing in it. NO rom's no back up .
ADB sideload gets stuck trying load in TWRP or mount wont recognize on my computer. Please help. Will gladly donate if I can gee this fix in couple hours

Install this recovery http://mdmower.cmphys.com/download/317/?version=2.8.1.1
Then connect the device to your computer and you should see the storage connected as MTP. Copy your Rom to it like you do normally and flash. Maybe you must wait a little before the storage appears connected to the computer.

There is no need for donation. If you want to donate give it to some poor people in your area our to the devs of the Rom/kernel you are using.
