yes I know i F*** up and flash the freedom flex recovery with kitkat, now im bricked and just boots to LG LOGO, computer gives me unknown usb device after i leave it plugged for about a min then gives me that error. won't go into recovery or download mode but will go into some koren page with bar code and imei number..
I looked and looked for 9 hours with no luck :crying: is there any kind of fix for it? I even tried a usb jig with no luck. and plus i cant find a online shop that with jtag my lg g flex d959. im pulling my hair i just want mt flex back and working
update, I finally got it to work back to normal after bricking it with freedom flex app.
1. You will need an OTG cable.download Dfuse stock kitkat.zip and place it on your flash drive or sd card ( what a life saver). here's a link to his rom I hope its ok with D-fuse?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747098
2. boot into recovery
press and hold volume up & power button, until the lg logo appears wait 2 sec, release the volume button only. if successfully done correctly you get a black screen with a image of a wrench and hammer and korean letters. it will boot in twrp or cwm which ever you have in stalled with freedom flex.
3. factory wipe it through the recovery
4. install Dfuse kitkat.zip you downloaded on to you sdcard.
5. reboot and enjoy you unbricked LG G FLEX

yea this sucks real big ones lol. does yours also say unknow usd device also?
trying to keep from crying
yes having the same problem with the USB, I did contact freedom flex to see how bad this is, also for about two days of reading and downloading server files I am ready if the USB connect, now the phone is in a coma and we will bring it back to life trying to keep from crying. I'm also going to call a tech and find out how bad it is, i will let you know.
Can you get into download mode
ok I can get it to download mode but still get unknown usb device. and also i can get it to twrp recovery but in my computer device manager it gives me and yellow (!) and says LG-G-Flex and wont install any drivers
att d950
I can get into download mode and it shows the computer and phone with blue dots nothing moving, when i connect to computer the usb does not work, I installed with freedom flex twrp, i was able to do a backup of the phone and efs backup. The phone now is stuck with lg screen and if you hit the power and down button you may get Korean lang with your imei with bar code at the bottom
att D950
in order to do the sd card how were you able to connect usb not recognized ?
You wont be able to get the full download mode. Also it wont recognize at with the computer. Only way of doing it, boot it in recovery and plug OTG cable <~~( forgot to put that) with a flash drive or sd card and install dfuse stock kitkat zip and you be up in running
If you can get into download mode try fastbooting Dfuse's 4.2.2 "D95910c" stock ROM. You may have to use
fastboot update (click and drag the D95910c file here with out the ( ) ). Or fast boot the f340 aboot or boot.img and freedom flex's cwm.img then unplug power off try booting to recovery but remember you only have one shot once you get there. From CWM you'll need to adb sideload Dfuse's D95910c.zip to your SD if its not already on there. Then flash it in CWM recovery.

I have tried about the flash back to stock via offline .kdz method and its only worked for me once. Its such a janky jacked up lucky if it works method , but I've used this twice with absolutely no problem at . just make sure you have internet connection on your PC. And I don't think you have to get into download mode if you change the setting to "Emergency". Just follow forum instructions and uninstall any of the original offline .kdz method stuff and LG drivers if you have ever tried it. And reinstall the LG drivers with OUT your phone plugged in.
Then follow that forum. Like I said its worked for me both times I've used it. Only issue in had was the old offline method software was installed and not allowing the new flash tool to act right. But once I uninstalled and started with a clean slate ....I was Golden.
Good luck

Yeah kintwofan posted ya a link. Put download it and make sure it's a good download. Either in twerp go to advanced/sideload. And adb sideload the zip file to your sd or put the zip file on a thumb drive and use a female usb to male micro usb cord as an adapter to plug the thumb/flash drive into your phone. Then in TWRP go to "mount" and scroll down the list and check the box next to "usb-org" then back out and go flash Dfuse's 4.2.2 jelly bean Rom. And don't forget to factory reset after the 4.2.2 Rom finishes and before you reboot. Or you'll boot loop.
Then If your smart go ahead and put a flashable supers.zip file on sd or flash drive and flash that after flashing 4.2.2 and factory reset have finished. Then reboot system. Should be good to go. You'll be rooted already and you can go to play market and get the freedom flex apk and put ya a custom recovery , make a back up, and for heaven sakes stay on 4.2.2 till they get the kernel for 4.4 worked out. Lmao

Flashed today my GT-I9000 to TO froyo I897UCJI6. I know i should not have done that now. But i really got pissed today at the gps of my phone and when i saw and update for galaxy s i just went for it, haven't checked the phone variant version. Thing is now my phone has no gps whatsoever it boots up fine but, sound only shows when i plug my headphones, accelerometer dont work correctly and so on....
So i though i`ll flash it back to stock. But the thing is once i connect the usb cable the phone just reboots and stays dead until the usb is disconnected.
I read the other threads but found no similar issues.
Here is a brief video of my problem
-http-://-www-.youtube.-com/-watch?v=MtcCvfCbAFk-
Remove all "-"
since i can`t post links
Anyone has any ideas how to get me back to stock?
Thanks!!
Damn i can`t even charge it!
Kinda weird indeed, try to remove the battery, wait a little, insert the battery and go to download mode (volume - / home / power) then start odin, put all files needed, and connect the usb, if it doesnt reboot hit start...
you got to enable adb debugging on your phone then open a command window and type: adb reboot download connect the usb to the phone and hit the enter key for the adb command before your phone fall asleep, then you are in download mode an can flash any rom with odin.
hope this helps, i flashed the same wrong firmware from the Vibrant.
Thanks Franklin, i tried the battery trick to no luck.
This is i cannot put my phone back to download mode because my "HOME" button is not mapped to do anything, seems like the "RETURN ARROW" button does the fuction when the system is loaded.
Any other ways to flash it back? Sd card or something?
Thanks for replies ;]
please try it my way it worked for me and i think it will work for you
I open the cmd navigate to c:\androidsdk\tools\ type in adb reboot download hit enter, it mounts daemon tools i plug in usb cable and 3 seconds later the phone goes blank and it stays unresponsive(no 3 key combination, not even the power button can turn it back on) i unplug the usb cable and the phone automaticaly shows the AT&T logo and starts up. The same happens when i plug my charger in!. Does that mean my SGS usb port is fried or something? Is there another way to flash my pnoe back to stock ROM?
I am so sorry i tried to make it better :[
Any clues?
no this is NOT a defective phone, its the result of the ROM and the 3 Button combo can´t work oh and you dont really mean deamon tools? and you musst plug the usb cable in the phone right before you hit enter or it can´t work!
I did that too. Like i said the phone turns it self off once the usb cable is attached.

dainiuxxx, this thread belongs in the Q&A section, not in development. Take a moment and read the "STOP, READ THIS BEFORE POSTING" thread at the top of both of these sections, it has clear guidelines for proper thread placement.
Sorry for that sirphukee.
Any help? Anyone?
Anyone that can help?
have you tried plugging it into another PC or Laptop?
Yup tried amothe laptop, reboot.
Wall charger, reboot.
So i`m kinda out of options?
yes, return it to the store, to get an exchange
a normal working SGS does not reboot when plugged into any USB port/charger
it's Shorted (damaged) for some reason
ok, return sounds good to me, but what will i have to say when they`ll switch on the phone and see the AT&T logo?
I`m in UK and my network is Orange UK.
Will they accept it back with no problems, i kinda doubt that....
uhh... you are in quite a pickle ...
try to remove the evidence, intentionally use a Update.zip ROM flash to kill the flash
or flash it to stock if you find a good ROM via Update.zip
use the WiFi to download the Update.zip ROM flash to the root of the internal SD to flash it.
ROM Manager can get the same results, you can WiFi install it from Market

Installed ROM manager from market, but seems it needs the phone rooted, right?
And rooting can be done only via usb cable, right?
Where do i find a Update.zip ROM via Wifi? and what are the procedures when i do find it?
OK,
so obviously the question now is HOW DO I F...k up my phone completely so no one could see what was done to it. When i`ll take it back to the shop.

you can ROOT the phone within the phone itself
by downloading Ryzaa One click lag fix from the market
instead of installing the lag fix, select the option to ROOT the phone
Same issue here. Amazing how easy it is to mess this phone up when you are really stupid. Oh well....
Tried the one click lag fix to root it, but cannot find a way to get into download or recovery mode. Tried every button combo I have seen suggested, but either gets stuck in a loop on the AT&T screen or just boots into the OS.
At the moment I feel my only option if we cannot find a way to get into download mode is to format the internal SD card and send it back to o2 (my provider), tell them it fried when Kies tried to do an update, cross my fingers and hope they send me a new one.
HI XDA
I got this sgh-t599 tmobile phone yesterday. (didn't realize it was rooted) messed around/did factory reset without backup.
now im stuck in CWM recovery 6.0.3.6, Ive spent several hours readind and trying to fix this with no luck.
I tried using adb, kies etc. none can detect device. device drivers are installed(tried 'have disk'), it shows Samsung under device manager.
I can device list in adb and shows the numbers and "recovery" but when i try to use commands it says "waiting for device" or something.
from what i read, i need unsecure boot to restore firmware. where can i get this and how do i do it pls.
i have no mount usb option in cwm, when i try to recover/update from cwm it says aborted. in adb im able to reboot the phone with the commands but always reboots to cwm recovery or waiting for device. any help pls. i may have access to another rooted t599 if i am able to backup and recover it to this phone?:crying:
do you think local phone repair shop can fix this back to stock or rooted and for how much?

You must have format system or something. A factory reset wipes cache and data, nothing else. There should be a homebrew odin-file somewhere in these t599 threads.

phone was rooted and had superuser etc on it. I didn't know about rooting, I did factory reset from the main menu which im pretty sure is what caused this. before that I was able to look through its apps where I saw the superuser,terninal and others, once factory reset it rebooted to cwm recovery and stuck there. there was no backup or side sdcard. only realized it was rooted after saw the cwm and stuck
odin doesnt detect phone either, downloaded/installed universal drivers still no go.
main issue is not being to able enable usb debug/download while still in cwm
repair shop says $30, about to run there
i caused my friends sgh-t599 to do that
So... This might be late.... But I'm going to postthis for others .... So I was looking for ever for a way to unbrick his phone... Then hope Finley came .. After I read hard enough .. And came across a post for a stock pre-rooted tar file to be flashed with Odin...

Hi, I did have this issue after imstalling TWRP and installing recovery. After I spend hours to make a connect to the phone. Pressing and holding buttons while plugging in usb and .... Nothing I could not get a connect. And so long I cannot connect I can not do anything. Maybe LG is able or they can connect physical. Good luck but it seems the device is bricked. I gave mine back to the provider where I bought and got a new one without paying. I said I did an OTA and after it was like this . Otherwise open RMA

No chance. You need KK rom zip on your memory. Boot to recovery (hold vol up plus power and when LG logo comes up release volume button but hold power) and flash KK zip if you have got it in your sd memory. I cant make my Flex usb fixed too.. Everytime when I try to flash JB it wont overwrite custom recovery so I can go back to KK. Waiting for 4.2.2 zip now with downgrade option.
Hello,
to explain my situation, I purchased a sprint LG G Flex from CL with the intention of using it on Simple Mobile. I found a post on XDA where and individual created a custom ROM called "attsprint" that enabled this. I Rooted the phone without issue and verified it, next I installed FreedomFlex with the intention of installing a TWRP and then proceeding to flash the custom rom. The recovery was flashed to the phone and I verified then pressed Reboot in TWRP and the phone "Attempted" to restart but hung at the LG screen.
Well...I tried for a while to do the Hard Reset with the Vol down and power to no avail and got frustrated and started pressing buttons and found if I do the Vol up and power CWM came up, and If I do Vol up and Power while plugged to my PC a download screen which shows a phone with dots that connects to a PC and never goes past that screen.
So I attemped to ADB to it and sideload a stock rom but my ADB does not recognize the phone. I connected an OTG cable to the phone and flashed a stock ROM through USB and it said success but still will not reboot.
I can not seem to get anywhere on this phone.....I have dealt with lots of phones, PCs, tablets, Video Game consoles and been able to recover them all but this one is really frustrating me.
If someone else has any insight on this please help!

If you can get into download mode, you should be able to revive the phone...even if there is no pop up when you connect to PC, look under device manager and see if you a LG device under serial ports..if yes, then you can flash the tot file using LG flash tool
