So I wanted to revert back to HTC Sense, but not enough careful reading caused me this, which I've been working on for hours now. I was on Cynogenmod before. Phone is S-ON, unlocked, and has TWRP installed, but the problem is there is no recovery. The other big problem is there is also no OS. Phone also is not detected by computer, so I can't just drag a file onto the phone and flash it again. Is buying a USB OTG cable the only option at this point?
This is the most common question asked about here, why not do some research about it?
same here, i have recovery but its not helping much. no OS and cant get in Download Mode to flash via Odin.

ODIN is for Samsung, this is HTC.
At the top of the Q&A section is a welcome message, and several stickies, may I invite you to start reading there
in particular the Frequently Asked Question sticky, and on page 3 you would see the answers you're looking for.
Alternatively, almost every other thread in here has the same situation, so please remember forum rules, and search and read.
Good luck, and post any other questions you may have here (please do not post in the FAQ sticky!!)

Hey all, Let me start by apologizing for not posting this in the right place (More than likely). i didnt see any threads for LG p505 Phoenix.
On to buisness, i had an error booting into ClockWorkMod Recovery. My phone is booting incorrectly ever since. ive tried to take the battery out and replace it, but that didnt work. I tried to follow some repair work listed on the forums, but i need further assistance. ive gotten as far as the SDK dev package and attempting to restart the bootloader, but no luck. it keeps saying it cant detect the device. the computer recognizes it as ASUS Android Bootloader Interface. Any help?
Where did you learn how to put CWM on you phone? If it wasn't here, why not try those forums where you did?
Try this
http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-lg-phoenix-thrive/
Well, i got CWM on my phone via the Rom Manager App on the Market. but, after toying around with my phone trying to fix it, it appears that it is stuck on the bootloader, and not CWM. when it DOES "boot up", it only displays lines of code that varies when i plug it into a power source or my PC.
Are you rooted?
yeah i am. couldnt have gotten this far without that step.

Just didn't want you thinking you could flash cwm by installing rom manager.
What exactly is going on. Give lots of details.

Well, good for you. im such a rookie that would be entirely possible. lol. anywho, i asked for help on another forum, who a couple people on have some experience with programing and such, and i pretty much explained everything there is to explain there.
however, the website wont let me post a link to said post, so im going to try to copy/paste because i REALLY dont feel like typing all that out again if i dont have to.
Copy link and put (dot) as the dot .

the story is, i tried to boot my phone (LG phoenix [p505], running CarloROM, standard Kernnel) into ClockWorkMod Recovery Mode, but upon booting up, teh device went to a black screen, save for a couple words, most partial. the readable text says "UDC_Start()". on pluging it into the PC, it displays the following text:
-- suspend --
-- reset --
EP1/out FAIL nfo=40 pg0=74000
-- portchange --
usb_read() transaction failed
-- reset --
-- portchange --
fastboot: oops !
fastboot: Processing commands
i am trying to utilize the only fix ive found, which is to reboot the bootloader via andriod developer debug window. i tell the command prompt to run the "adb reboot bootloader" function but it says it cant find the device.
it also appears on the PC as "ASUS android bootloader interface"

Try flashing stock recovery on it. Flash back to complete stock. Did you check to make sure cwm was compatible with your device?

First, not the other forum isnt helping as it's a small user group and no one's responded yet. second, as previously stated, after posting this thread, ive determined that the phone did NOT boot to CWM. and second, yes, CWM is compatable and has worked in the past. i heard about it from someone that has used it on his p505 and it works perfectly.
There are a lot of devices that only run a modded version of cwm. I have a Samsung intercept that won't run with standard cwm.
* iTouched Epic
people on the android central forum you posted a link to say the phoenix runs just fine with standard CWM
Did you try flashing the touch version of cwm? My epic touch sgsll bricks with that?
* iTouched Epic
i rooted my phone, downloaded ROM Manager, gave it Super user permissions, and flashed Optimus One (Old BaseBand). exactly as instructed.
Where did you learn about doing this? You said you tried asking on another forum. What did they say? Did you try what they said? Have you tried what I said about going stock?

i learned all this from here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-lg-phoenix-thrive/138186-how-clock-workrecovery-mod-cwm.html

i have learned that my device is booting to the bootloader, not CWM, also as previously stated.
thus, flashing a new ROM of any sort is impossible.

You never said you didn't get any responses from the other forum. If you posted the question yesterday and gave it a couple hours, no responses, then started flipping out cause your is phone is messed up and so you decided to join for the soul reason of using it as a technical support and post in off topic cause this site doesn't even develop (notice I didn't say support) your phone, I say you need to chill out and go back to other site and get a lil bit more in depth with your question. Cause honestly I would have overlooked your question with how it was written and the little information given. Those guys know about your bootloader. I don't. Not many here do. LG doesn't make flagship devices, hence why they're not here.
I can tell you that if nobody does help you, you need to read up on how to shell into the phone and flash something else like that.

Hi All.
How Can I get my pictures off my poorly One X?
Really need help with my 1x. It switched itself off the other day in my pocket and now it hangs on the 'quietly brilliant' screen and wont start up. I have rooted it and it has clockworkmod recovery v5.8.2.7 on it- I didnt put a custom rom on it, just rooted it.
I am unable to mount USB storage through clockworkmod as I am getting 'unable to open ums lunfile (no such file or directory)' error. I had hoped that if i could mount the usb, i could at least access the sd through my pc to transfer pictures from my phone. I am really at a loss now. I was wondering if it could be a battery issue (i have had it on charge for sometime but on the hboot screen it says 'battery level is too low to flash'). I really dont know what to do now. if i cannot connect via usb to pc, then i have no way of trying to transfer pics and files or un-rooting or transferring and img files to try some sort of re-flash.
In CWM recovery, i have browsed for zip files and can see all the folders there so i assume all my pictures are also still present.
The pictures are the most important to me as they are holiday pics. I would, of course, just like the phone to work again but at the very least, be able to get my pics off it.
Any help much appreciated guys. Thanks, Pete.

In the One X section you will found a lot of guide and file for save your phone and re-use it!
There is a fastboot file that will charge your battery in fastboot for flash a rom or for unlock your bootloader if it is locked.

reposted now in hopefully the right place. just got to figure out how to remove this thread.
Basically my phone is stuck on the GT-N7000 Samsung Logo screen.
Would love if somebody could make my day and tell me how I can restore my phone with it's pictures.
I know this is not as simple as it sounds but I have read a thread that explains something about non-wiping ROMs / upgrade ROMs? Is this true?
Notes:
I have a stock ROM (I bought the phone via Amazon Germany though).
Never tried to place another ROM onto phone.
I cannot go into recovery mode.
I am able to go into download mode.
I have heard of this ODIN but not familiar.
Heeelp!

Are you kidding me!? You're honestly a senior member? Calling my response idiotic is probably a little ironic. Let me explain why...
Firstly, I'm not going to waste too much of my time replying to you but my concern was that during the 501 pages of the thread something may changed from the start, I can't be sure how accurate the first posts are, which I feel is a valid point 1.
As for the bricked device, the phone became bricked itself due to no fault of my own, other people have experienced the same thing, I have avoided popping ROM's onto the phone to avoid voiding my warranty, I did not tamper with anything, this is valid point 2.
If you have nothing positive to contribute to this thread please refrain from adding any further comments, or take a chill pill and use a little empathy senior member.
I should also add that:
- I eeked at the 501 pages - I was not being condescending.
- I believe that there is a difference between ROM's that completely flash the whole memory and upgrade ROM's that will retain, hence why I asked the question, about 'upgrade' ROM's.
If you want to pull the pictures from the phone internal memory you can use a pc program called adb.exe, but you need to be in download mode.

Thanks Ranger Captain! Much appreciated. I'll look into this!
The expert on adb.exe is a user nemed studacris. I think it would be ok to PM him and get the specifics of the command.
Roughly, connect the phone to the pc in download mode, open a command window, navigate to your adb directory, type adb device to confirm the connection, then type adb pull \directory name\all files /directory on pc and the files will transfer from the internal phone memory to your pc.

When you come across a 501 page thread and say the answer is there and current for people who are willing to read there is a bit of a problem here.
I was hoping a tech Guru on here who is familiar with my problem could help summarise key points relevant to my problem.
I am willing to concede after some of you have eluded to much of the information is in the first few pages. Thank you.
As for bricking - there has been corruption of what seems to be the firmware, which not is of the question, what point are you making? If you read a few other threads, others have experienced similar issues with attempting to update their ROM's.

Hey man. All you need to do is read the first post of dr.ketan's thread. Good luck. If flashing a stock ROM via PC Odin doesn't work, per the isnstructions on that thread, I will personally be more than glad to help. But that IS your first step.
There is nothing to summarize. Follow the procedure in that thread OP. You don't have to read ANY of the thread except the guide. If it doesn't help you get up and running, feel free to PM me or post here. But when someone tells you to read a thread you must realize they are probably referring to the Original Post. If you are told to search (xda users rule #1), then that is a different story. For example, if you said 'how do I Use an OTG cable', I would say 'search this thread for the keyword otg'. Nevertheless, that is not the case here. There is a specific guide in the OP of that thread that describes what your first step to fix your device should be. Once that has been exhausted, please feel free to ask for further guidance.
Take care and good luck.

Hi , I have a Desire C and I rooted the phone recently I installed the recovery from teamwin last version,
all good untill here , then I installed cynogetmod v10 and when the phone starts I can't find Google Play and no previous apps that were installed on the phone.
How can I reinstall the app, I tried from the phone to install the google play , but it says that the app is already installed on the phone.
I tried deleting the apps from the pc in google play but , can't find the remove button for any of the apps...
I just bought the phone and it's my first android until now so if your gonna reply please define your words.Cuz I don't understand everything.
Did you flash gapps after flashing cyanogenmod?
I don't know what that is, but I knew I forgot something. So how do I do that ?
U need to enter on your boot menu ,and install google apps thing (i need to check exactly how,and will whisp asap) ...too bad, most ppl here dont want to explain how things works.They were newbies ,once.

You need to go to the thread of the rom you downloaded. Download the gapps package.
Then go to recovery mode, click on install. Then select the zip file. It was mentioned in the instructions..

I don't know if it was directed at me. But I can tell you that there are tons and tons of guides that 'explain how things work'. It is up to the new user to read them.
I answer the questions under the assumption that the user has read 'atleast' the threads that are stickied in the general and development section of this forum.
If you read the FAQ thread in the general section, you will see that the question "What is Gapps?" has been clearly answered. So i was working under the assumption that the user knows what gapps is..
I replied quickly because I was on my phone , not on the pc and I was with my car at the mechanic.So no time for search about gapps , but I did read all the forum and honestly I could not find the thing again, cuz I know I read somewhere about this , but I could not find that thread again..
And the flashing I experienced it without the tutorial , I briefly read what it was said and went to work on it. That's the best way for me to learn to do things.

If you read the main CM10 thread, there is a big link written in big words. "Gapps". Click this very long text to download gapps and flash it through recovery. I need to remind you that you are going to need to flash a kernel as well and you need a PC for that.
so ur taking me for a fool now ?
I just mentioned that there are 10 versions of the gapps I think I was very specific.

No offence, but while that method may work for other things, for anything related to your phone, always read first!
And never try to skip instructions or skim pass them.
