Hi everyone, as you can see in topic I bricked my phone. or at least I think I did it.
To make a long story short - my brother gave me Xpera T, I installed cm12 but had problems with gapps (google apps has stopped), then I tried to remove it to have clean install and got the situation in recovery "can't mount cache/system..."
Then I tried parted /dev/block/mmcblk0 mkfs ext2
But, after I did it I restarted phone and now I can't turn it on. There is no any sign it's alive. Like a brick :-/
When I connect phone to computer and try power+up it won't enter recovery mode so I can't use ADB or Fastboot.
Only trace that phone exists shows dmesg command:
[ 135.031450] usb 3-5: new high-speed USB device number 9 using xhci_hcd
[ 135.196087] usb 3-5: New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=9008
[ 135.196095] usb 3-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[ 135.196100] usb 3-5: Product: QHSUSB_DLOAD

[ 135.196734] qcserial 3-5:1.0: Qualcomm USB modem converter detected
[ 135.197345] usb 3-5: Qualcomm USB modem converter now attached to ttyUSB0
So, is there any hope that I coul'd repair it, or the garbage is the right place for it?
Thank you!
Here's how to unbrick.
First turn off the phone and connect the phone to the computer while holding the volume down button. Wait for few minutes until the drivers are installed correctly. now you can disconnect the phone.
1. Download and install flashtool.
2. Download the stock rom for your device. Click here for a list of stock ROMs.
3. Right click and copy the downloaded file, and go to C:\flashtool\firmware\ and paste.
4. Open flashtool. Click the "lightning" symbol and select "flashmode" and click OK.
5. Select the file name you just downloaded, Put a tick on "No final verification" and click "flash".
6. Wait for a minute or two until you get a popup window. (It will say "press the back button and connect the phone to pc". But DO NOT do that)
7. Now turn off the phone. Connect the USB cable to the computer, but don't connect it to the phone yet.
8. Press and hold the volume down button. Keep pressing and connect the USB cable to the phone.
9. Release the volume down button as soon as the popup window go away.
10. DO NOT disconnect the USB cable until the flashtool say "Flashing completed".
11. Now unplug the cable and turn on the phone. It will take a few extra minutes to boot for the first time.
Hit the thanks button if this helped. :good:
The file I need to download is no longer available, can you upload it again?

Done. Checkout the post #2
All the links are updated.
Be careful what ROM you download. Double check the Model no. of your phone and the ROM. They must match.
I did everything you said until number 9 (Release the volume button as soon as the popup window go away) because that window never got away.
In flashtool windows says:
Device connected with USB debugging off
For 2011 devices line, be sure you are in MTP mode
Device disconnected
On mobile turns on red light when it's connected to USB, but turns off very soon, after flashtool says it's disconnected.

Did you do the step 7 right? did you turn off the phone before connecting the cable?
Yes, the phone is turned off. It can't be turned on after I bricked it

Nothing, same as the last time.
Firstly I have removed the battery for 15 minutes and than installed driver.
I followed procedure, but again number 9 never happened.
I tried to update driver for qualcomm (that is mobile) but it says that it's already updated.

Ok I've the Russian fastboot ROM installed on the phone and in the process and this is as far as I get
Code:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

(and I've tried the other recovery.img also)
< waiting for device >
I've tried that plugging in and out of different USB drives as suggested by a few people
I've a feeling it's something to do with the drivers, could someone please post a link to the suitable drivers for this, because whenever I plug it in it say "new Device found: Android" and then I click on the bubble and try to install the suggested driver but it fails to find any driver for it.

Thank you so so much, I've finally got Recovery on my phone now!
Bought a LG P970 Optimus Black.
Installed LGMobile Support Tool into my
Windows 7 64bit.
Installed the LG 3.2.1 drivers using LGMobile Support Tool.
Then, I connected the phone to the computer.
Result of drivers installation:
LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device - Ready to use
LGE Android Platform USB Modem - Failed
LGE Mass Storage Device - Failed
LGE Android Platform USB GPS NMEA Port (COM6) - Ready to use
LGE Android Platform USB Serial Port (COM7) - Ready to use
I wasn't planning to use the phone as a modem, so that driver does not worry me, but the USB storage problem is annoying.
In the phone, it does look as it connected. It offers the option to activate USB storage on screen, and if I click on the button, it says it enabled it, but nothing happens in the computer side.
I tested to uninstall everything LGE from the computer and restart from scratch, but same problem.
Ideas?
Update:
The LGMobile Support Tool in Windows says the phone IS connected, and that the software in the phone is up to date.
Do You see the phone into section computer like Removable Disc?

No. Nothing at all.
In "Devices and Printers" I have:
Under Devices:
LG Android Phone
LG Android (Modem)
LG Android (Serial)
LG Android (NMEA)
Under Unspecified:
LGE Bluetooth TransPort (COM4)
LGE Virtual Modem
In the "Device Manager" I have 1 "USB Mass Storage Device", with a yellow warning sign.
Under its Properties, in Device Status, it says: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)
If I try to "Update Driver" Windows says that the right driver is already installed.
FIXED !!
Updated LG driver to 3.5.
Still didn't work.
Then, I turned off the phone.
Removed the battery.
Put the battery back.
Turned on the phone.
Connected it to USB.
This time the USB driver started ok, and when I activated the USB storage I was able to see the drive under "Computer" in Windows Explorer.
I had turned the phone off and on before, so I think removing the battery did something that simply turning off and on wouldn't do.

USB 3.0 External Storage Device driver not getting Installed- [Solved]
Issue: USB storage device is not working on my computer, be it a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 it just doesn't install the driver for storage device and my USB mouse and webcam does work.Everytime I plug in a USB flash drive of USB 3.0 External hard drive it beeps and gives error message that the device driver could not be installed.
Here is the steps I took to troubleshoot this issue and it got fixed.
1.Open registry by going to Run-> Type Regedit.
and Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000}
Highlight this key ({36FC9E60-C465-11CF-8056-444553540000} ), on the right pane, and then check if “Upperfilters” and “Lowerfilters” value are present. If so, please right click on the values and select "Delete" to remove them.
2. Now go to "C:\windows\inf" folder and check if these three files USBSTOR.SYS, usbstor.inf and usbstor.pnf are available.If it was renamed change the name as I wrote them or if they are not available copy them from "C:\windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbstor.inf_x86_neutral_83027f5d5b2468d3"
And then go to "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\Drivers" and make sure you have USBSTOR.SYS and usbd.sys available if not copy them again from
"C:\windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\usbstor.inf_x86_neutral_83027f5d5b2468d3"
and paste it to Drivers folder.
3. Open Registry editor by going to Run-> typing Regedit and Navigate to the following key:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBSTOR" and ensure that the Start value is 3. and restart the system.
It will work..
thx

For me also worked ! I don't know why or how..but thx a lot! I was goin crazy because about few days ago it worked and suddenly it didn't but it all sorted out! Thanks!
ok i tryied to use all in one tool and i want to flash to ics to my thrill but as far as i got is on the tool it goes to stage 2 but waiting for device stays there even after i do place to battery in it.. it acts all over again as if it cant find the driver for cosmo i think that is what it is called....but im running windows 7
When it says waiting on device try pulling out the usb and then plug it right back in. I use to have to do that, but if that doesn't work then it may be a driver issue.
Maybe start the tool and when it says waiting for omap4430 device, hold down vol+ and plug in your phone but don't let go of vol+. Pop in battery like normal and it should boot you into download mode. See if that helps get your LG Cosmo driver to install, though it should install as LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT. if that doesn't happen, as a last resort uninstall all LG mobile drivers, reboot cpu, download the files from step 1 and step 5 of this post---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819 (bag of goodies and wkparks 1.21) Turn off your anti virus and windows defender before doing anything. Once thats done unzip the two files mentioned above. Run the omap flash installer and re install both Sets of LG mobile drivers in the bag of goodies package (second set will pop up a warning for unsigned drivers a few times; hit YES do it anyways, and then re install omap by directing the driver update to the windows drivers folder in the wkparks bootloader1.21 tool. Hopefully this helps.
Here is a much better explaination from drastic00's tutorial. Follow these steps to the T and you should be flashing in no time
" A) Uninstall any LG Drivers:
a1) Open Programs and Features through Control Panel
a2)Find any drivers called "LG United Mobile Driver." Right click and select Uninstall, let it work.
a3)Reboot your pc!
B) Be sure you disabled antivirus/Windows Defender, etc. before unpacking these files.
C) Install OMAP4430 by running "OMAPFlashInstaller."
NOTE: if you have Fastboot installed SKIP this step (if you don't know, you don't have it...), but DO link the driver as in f4.
D) Install the two LG Drivers in the “LG United Mobile Drivers” folder: These are “LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497CA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1. 0” and “LGUnitedMobileDriver_S497MA20_WHQL_ML_Ver_1. 0” The second one will warn it is unsigned, choose to install anyway (you will have to insist on this a few times here).
E)Reboot your pc!
F)Install PC/phone drivers:
f1)Shut down your phone. Remove external sd card, SIM card and battery.
f2) Open Device Manager from Control Panel
f3) Hold volume up on phone and connect to USB port. Keep holding volume up.
f4)Look for "OMAP4430" blinking on and off in Device Manager with a yellow question mark under "Other Devices." (You can let go of the phone). If you do not see it, look for "TI Boards" blinking in device manager and quickly open the arrow. Then uninstall that OMAP4430 (right click, check box to uninstall device and driver, confirm), disconnect phone and reconnect with volume up. Then...
f.4.1) You will need to 'catch' OMAP4430 (with yellow question mark) by right-clicking on it when it appears under "Other Devices." Choose "Update Driver Software."
f.4.2) Pick "Browse my computer for driver software." Then "Let me pick..."
f.4.3) Leave "All..." selected under Devices. Then "Have Disk."
f.4.4) Navigate to the omap4boot-for_optimus-v1.21 folder and choose "omap_winusb" in the usb_drv_windows folder.
f.4.5) Windows will warn the driver is unsigned. Install anyway. An OMAP4430 device should appear under the list of devices. Confirm the selection. Let the driver install.
f.4.6) Disconnect the phone and again reconnect with volume up held.
f5) You should see a popup at the bottom of your screen about drivers (the LG USB drivers) installing. (If you do not see it, disconnect phone, reboot your pc, and again connect it without battery while holding volume up). When you do see drivers installing, let go of the volume button. Click the popup to see the progress. Let it finish.
f6) Look for “LGE CDMA USB SERIAL PORT” in Device Manager. Right click on it and go to Properties
f7) Select the "Port Settings" tab and click 'Advanced'.
f8) Change 'COM Port Number:' to COM41. Click OK, then OK again.
f9) Disconnect your phone from the PC." (From drastic00's noob tutorial)

My PC does not see my phone drives when hooked up with USB...suggestions?
Which android version are you on? Which windows version?
You should see something like the attachment when you plug in your phone.
If not:
- Plug in your device.
- When it shows you "usb charging", click on that, and select the option to transfer files.
- You may need to turn on usb debugging, or select "use device as driver installer"
If that doesn't work, let me know. You probably have a driver issue and need to load mediatek usb drivers.

All I see your thumbnail. It never lets me see the card.
I'm about to convert my phone to the WW rom; but I am at an impasse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My phone is unlocked as verified by the security message and I can get into fastboot. I have developer mode and usb debugging enabled. When the phone is on, and also when in recovery; the phone will return the serial number with the adb command. When I reboot into fastboot, the phone is no longer detected. I have tried a USB A to C cable, USB C cable, and a combination of USB C, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports on my computer. I have used both the side (blue) and bottom USB ports on the phone, but to no avail. Other odd confirmation is in the device manager my phone shows up as ROG Phone II, but under USB. I'm not sure if it is detected right; the screenshots I saw showed it detected as a device under another section in the device manager.

I had the same issue last update. Something in a windows 10 update broke fastboot detection. Use another computer with an older version of win 10 or boot a linux distro.

Try installing this version of adb/drivers
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=746010030569952951
Once installed, the adb folder in root of C contains a 'cmd here' file, makes launching a cmd even easier!

Plug your phone on side port and reboot to fastboot then use this app to fix fastboot mode
If you already plugged the USB cable to the side port and still not able to use fastboot, it is probably a Windows problem. The Android fastboot exe is not properly signed so you need to disable Windows' driver signature check before installing the ADB/Fastboot drivers.
I cannot post link but search for "android fastboot driver disable driver signature enforcement". Disable the signature check then install the fastboot drivers.
Here is the quick run-down of the steps.
1. In command console and in Admin mode, run this command and then restart => bcdedit /set testsigning on
2. Install adb and fastboot stuff
3. After successful install, in command console and in Admin mode, run this command and then restart => bcdedit /set testsigning off
For ADB/Fastboot driver, i use the one by "fawazahmed0" here in XDA. The title of the thread is [Tool] Latest ADB Fastboot and USB Driver installer tool for Windows.
Okay, I tried all of the above; fastboot is still not detected in ADB, but it is detected in Recovery and when the phone is at the home screen. I noticed the phone came up under "Samsung Smart Phone" or some such in the device manager. I uninstalled and reinstalled and now it shows up as ROGPhoneII. However, same result as before. I tried the install methods on a secondary Windows 7 machine, but with the same result.
