Develop Bugs

For those who have bricked their Defys and can't revive it!!

I have a brand new Defy, barely a month old. And since i found it so easy to mess around with my Milestone i went right ahead and tried to flash a new custom rom into my "barely out of the box" Defy.
After flashing the new rom my phone wouldn't start at all!! I freaked!!
Theere it lay, totally dark and blank screen with the white led on and only the comp and RSD Lite being able to detect the phone in the bootloader mode. Volume Up/Down w/ Power didn't do anything! Nor did anything else!
After a whole day of frantic thread searching and googling, i still couldn't find any answer! I could see that people actually returned their phones or just gave up!
Finally, i started to serach for the original rom that came with my phone but even after hours of searching i couldn't find a single copy of it! Just before i gave up, in one last attempt i found the only copy of my original rom and i flashed it and it worked!!
So if all else fails, please keep a note of your exact rom version and flash it back to unbrick your phone.
Hope this helps someone out there who freaked out the same way i did..

Wrong device forum but I'll try to help you anyway... Couple questions first... Have you rooted the phone? Have you installed a custom recovery partition?

sorry i am a little new to forums. yes my phone is rooted and i dont believe i downloaded a custom recovery partiton. to be honest im not to sure what that is... thanks for trying to help buddy.

Ok... By your answers then I know you kinda screwed, but not quite dead... what happens exactly is that you removed the main launcher, the interface between you and the device... if you say that it reboots, not much we can do here be cause we may push a launcher APK to /system/app (generally, there is where the "system apps" are located) and see if phone lives again, but as it is rebooting not sure if it can be done... Have critical info in the phone? If not, you can restore it to factory state!
Here is a external guide to restore the device back to factory state: http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-downgrade-lg-optimus-c-back-to-stock.html
Additionally, you can check some other info in this post (not quite your case but sometimes other problems have some clues to resolve main problem): http://www.cricketusers.com/cricket...tboot-mode-started-udc_start-3.html#post12007

There is one last option... Researching...
---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------
Damn, no fastboot mode (at least you can't boot into it)...
Anyways, there is nothing worst than haven't tried at all... Do you have the Android SDK installed? Check http://developer.android.com and install the SDK; also download a custom recovery from here: http://unleashedprepaids.com/media/MS690/recovery.img... Once done that, remove battery from phone, replace it, in a command prompt (or terminal if using Linux), write this command "adb shell", just write it, don't press enter yet. Connect the phone to the PC and turn the phone on, while booting, press enter to the command and follow the guide here: http://playfuldroidz.com/wiki/index.php?title=CM74OC#How_to_Install_ClockworkMod_Recovery: as fast as you can (copy/paste preferably)... if everything went well, now you have a custom recovery and you can backup the mess the phone is at right now (BACKUP, really, do it)... download and install any new custom rom and you are good to go...
Let me know how it went...

thanks so much havent tried yet but that route sounds like it might work. i am a little confused in some areas but after i read it over and over i will comprehend it a little more. i will follow step by step and let you know how it turned out. again thanks buddy. you brought some light into this dark matter.

The worst case scenario is using the KDZ updater.You can google all info on that

[Q] Kernel crash led to inability to mount sd card

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could provide me with any help with my phone. Earlier this week, I woke up to shut off the alarm on my phone but was seeing a bunch of google processes failing. After about a minute of hitting okay, I finally managed to turn off my alarm. It was at that point that I decided to reboot my phone only to see the Demigod Kernel Crash screen and I haven't been able to boot up since then. I went into recovery mode to see if I could just flash another ROM but it's unable to mount the sd card. "Alright," I thought "I'll just use LGNPST again (I've used it before) and restore it that way." Well, it fails early in the beginning, earlier than it's "supposed to." Something about a Masterbin error. I've tried redownloading everything, drivers, lgnpst, .bins, but I keep getting that same bin error. Someone in the irc suggested a virtual box but that gave me a headache just trying to figure that out. So my question is am I left with any options other than sending it in to have someone jtag it? Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you try wiping everything? SD included.
Did you uninstall, then reinstall LGNPST.
Last option I have is try LGFlashTool. It has is own thread in Development.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Yeah, I wiped everything after LGNPST didn't work for me. I'll try reinstalling it one more time and, if that fails, I'll use the LG Flash Tool. Thanks for your reply; will report back if it works.

The LG flash tool is (I believe) what sprint repair techs use to fix any software issues. It resets every position taking it back to 'out of the box' including hands free activation

That may be what I need seeing as how the error I see whenever I try to use LGNPST says it fails to write partition during the Masterbin download. Unfortunately, the link I found in the LG Flash Tool thread is down. I asked the OP there to rehost it but he hasn't replied yet.
Urgh, this past week without a phone has been tough.

Umm... I have it but it would take a while to upload since I have no Internet besides usb tether

HAS BEEN FIXED...
I have TWRP recovery, and wiped EVERYTHING before trying to install the Rom, never had a phone that didn't really have a MicroSD, and I guess I wiped the internal memory also... meaning I have no rom to flash...
"adb devices" is not recognizing the phone so I can't Push/Sideload...
I can boot into recovery, but can't do much else without being able to use adb
HELP... any suggestions.

install the driver on your computer again and try ADB...

No. Sorry, I believe it is just Cwm that allows usb storage in recovery.(I could be wrong) As stated above, install the drivers to try to fix adb if that fails then you may need to take a look at this. Good Luck:good:

I tried that "[Guide] Unroot/Unbrick - flash official factory firmware with LG Launcher"
It seems to see the phone, and all, but when it goes to download the firmware from LG, it just hangs, reading the posts there, looks like others have it hang at the same place mine did...
I think I am just SOL, till someone figures out how to make a tool that will fix this...
I am sure I am not the only one that will accidently wipe everything leaving it in a state where you don't have a rom to flash back on it...
so I am sure someone will make something soon...
till then will just have to go back to my old phone.
Thanks.

I would assume you need to try to get fastboot working, but I have never tried to get into the G2's bootloader. But you'll get ADB - Fastboot working, you will, you just need to keep trying. Try someone else's computer if you have to.

I really need to just find the kdz firmware for the Sprint LG G2... I think I have a way of flashing it... just need to find it...
I have found about every G2 except the Sprint one...

I found it herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 and am in the exact same boat as you. I was about to flash a recovery I made and accidentally wiped EVERYTHING including my recovery image. I'm downloading the Sprint kdz as we speak and please let me know what else you are thinking as a way of flashing that file. I can get into TWRP, stock hard reset mode (which doesn't seem to do anything) and download mode.

You are looking at doing the same thing I am going to try, but when I went to where you download... the only Sprint image I see is a .zip... not a .kdz... and that program they use only recognizes .kdz's...
In reading that feed, they said that in the US they don't use .kdz's... so still looking into that, I have a post in that thread and maybe we can get more help...
But your in the EXACT spot I am in, I can get into TWRP, hard reset, and download
If you can figure it out PLEASE post here, and I will be doing the same, I am sure there will be a lot of people doing what we did without thinking, and I guess we were the first, and will be the leaders... LOL

well ****. I'm going to try the method listed in that thread but I don't know if it's going to work. Nothing seems to identify my phone properly. The LG mobile support tool recognizes it as "testdevice" and when I try updating recovey through the program it hangs once it says "downloading files". I'll post anything I can find as soon as I find anything. Please do the same. I just bought this phone yesterday and already managed to f it up.

Also where do I get the "LGE Android MTP Device" drivers? They say failed and I'v tied the newest available drivers package. Or iss this just an error cause of the state of the phone?

You should be able to, as long as you can get adb to see it, you are good, you can even just adb push a rom over to the "NON" SDCard... and then just flash from TWRP...
The main problem we have is that without a SDCard that you can take out and put a rom on, we are stuck.

you have to extract the megalock.dll from its archive and overwrite the existing one in the LG flash tool directory. Then launch the program.

[Q] Need help bringing phone to stock so I can get Lollipop

Hi, in my attempts to get Lollipop from the stock rom of 4.4.4, I have severely screwed up my phone. I have tried a bunch of stuff, and I want to just wipe everything and start over. When I turn it on, it stays stuck at the green HTC logo.
When I try to run the RUU to either upgrade to Lollipop or even downgrade to get my phone working again, it gets stuck on the Sending... screen after rebooting the first or second time.
I am able to use fastboot and also get into TWRP recovery. I hope the screenshots and info provided are enough, but please let me know if I can provide more.

Looked for stock images in the internet? I think you will find one which is directly from HTC.
But why don't use CyanogenMod to get the version?

from the first screenshot (bootloader), the red OS line with two versions means the flash didnt go through properly!! (the hboot preupdate worked but the second flash wasnt done)
and it looks like you're on AT&T US, so use the following RUU:
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...40.45.C33065.00_F_release_426617_signed_2.exe
make sure you have this installed http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29
(otherwise the RUU will just exit)
no need to relock or anything with S-OFF (and absolutely stay S-OFF!!)
PS: running RUU will obviously wipe everything off your phone and also put back stock recovery, so you'll need to flash back TWRP once the RUU is done

Thank you both for your advice. I was able to get everything (or so I thought) working by using a TWRP backup, but I soon realized that most of my apps weren't working correctly. I was getting errors trying to download language packs for Swiftkey, Facebook wouldn't even open, etc. I'm currently trying the RUU, but it's doing what it had been doing in the past.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like:

how long are you waiting? it does take some time...
otherwise, you'll need to flash firmware using fastboot (in ruu mode), cause currently your firmware is in a state of limbo, so not good place to be in
EDIT: the ruu log should be in C:\ruu_log\ folder, you could take a look at the file and see if/where it's hanging

Thanks so much nkk71! After retrying my phone is fixed!
