Big mistake

I formated internal memory of my defy and now is not opening I bricked the phone?

How did u format internal memory? Does the bootloader load? (vol+up while swtiching on power)

something wrong in your question...
you cant just brick your fone so easily.
just remove your battery and press & hold the vol+ button ... and insert the battery and press the power on button... do exactly the way its written ... if boot loader loads, your device is safe... we would give you the additional steps to recover.

How i formatted the internal memory? Using 2ndinit
I can`t enter in bootloader. I tried this already, but nothing. If i connect the phone without the battery, the led it lights up for a fraction of second and nothing else.

Hi, Ive got the same problem, just short LED light, thats all.
PWR+ volume +/- doesnt work...

just connect ur phone to pc and open rsd lite which will feel ur device and install sbf of foroyo..

Ive found some sbfs but it aibt working :/ do u know some working sbf? TY

did rsdlit feel ur device and show (connected) statue?

finally unbricked
found BSF here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421526
Download and flash via RSD

Defy doesn't boot

Hello all
Today i've got a problem:
My defy boot but it stops at the red "M" of Motorola.
I tried to flash a new rom with rsdlite but the defy isn't recognize in bootloader.
The "wipe data" return an error => error mouting /data!
Am I totally ****ed ?
Thx

Wipe data should work, try to install the last version of drivers and install another rom, and pray.

First of all, did you flashed a SBF before the phone stuck on M??, if yes, try wiping data on stock recovery, are entering properly to the booloader mode??(POWER + VOL +)

First , thx.
I tried the wipe data but apparently, the "data" doesn't exist or the phone doesn't get the permission to wipe it => "error moutin /data!"
I tried to flash a new rom by "VOLUM UP + POWER" but rsd lite 5.3.1 or 5.6 don't recognize the phone. I've got the drivers.
EDIT: And in the stock recovery the wipe data works but do nothing.

I have the same problem and what i did!
1) pull out the battery and put it back(and let it of)(must be charged)
2)start rsdLite4.9
3)sellect the sbf(with shorter name)
4)conect the phone in of mode (rsd recognize like xxxx3630)
5)start the instalation
(I use ...3.4.2_179-002 and it works great any time)
instalation works good and the phone starts it self

Ok I'll try that, but before the phone doesn't start, I had charging problems and the phone wasn't recognize in USB. So I think this won't do anything.
I try it

charge in other phone!
or use McGuyver method!:
find other charger, cut the head and you will see 2 wires
oue red and one black, red is +pole, black is -pole
pull out the battery and conect red to +pole on battery and black to -pole
let it for two hours to charge(can try after one hour)
then try to flash SBF!

Ok.
What do you mean by "connect the phone if on mode" ?

Ised "of mode"
means it is stopt
just put the battery in the phone and conect without start it in botloader

Ok thx but when I connect it the phone starts and goes to the "M" and isn't detected :s

start in botloader mode if you can! (volup+power)
Give it first "wipe data factory reset" from recovery stock
try to see if it start normaly with old SBF olready flashed
if not, start in botloadermode and flash SBF

It doesn't start with the old sbf.
I'm waiting for the battery (charging in an other defy).
EDIT:
Not detected by rsd lite. I tried to detect an other defy with the same battery andit works well. So I think my phone is definitely dead :/ You don't think so ?

no i do not!
what sbf are you flashed
sent from "My Precious" MB525 using XDA App

Ok
I took this version : 3_3.4.2_164-003 Androïd 2.2.2
(the first of this page : http://forum.frandroid.com/topic/54848-rom-stock-android-froyo/)

try this SBF
did you chec the sdcard(could be a problem with it)
RSDlite 4.9 View attachment 894277

Yep I already format the sdcard.
Ok try this one, but does the SBF change the detection of the defy in rsd ?
EDIT: the link seems to be broken :s

my nik is yahoo id
call me

It will be a little bit difficult 'cause i'm french :s
Do you have a other link for the sbf ?

http://www15.zippyshare.com/v/45995480/file.html
View attachment 894304

Thx I try this one
EDIT: Defy is still undetected :s
ps: My friend's defy is detected
I don't understand... Maybe an hardware problem :/

Stupid question, but are you sure you are doing it right? To enter download mode, first turn the phone off. Then hold both volume buttons, and plug in the USB cable to your computer. Do NOT press the power button. Is this what you are doing?
Also, are you saying you rooted an F180 KitKat with Framaroot?!?! I find that very hard to believe, as it failed for me, and other people also confirmed that it didn't work...

The same thing happened to me .. The phone didn't show DOWNLOAD MODE. ... i still flashed the stock kdz by these steps
1.. switch off ur phone
2.. keep the up and down volume buttons pressed and insert the usb cable
3.. open Kdz updater ..
4 .. click read phone information. .and wait for a minute
5.. if it even shows a slight progress seen in the green bar , then you have a go..
Notes
:1.. if the kdz updater even hangs and stops responding while reading ur phone info.. and takes some time.. ur phone is connected in download mode even it shows the slightest progress in the progress bar ( green coloured)
2... if u cant switch off ur phone due to frequent restarts. . just keep the cable connected and the volume buttons pressed while it is restarting
[you can also see ur computer's device mgr for ur phone connection ]
then just flash the Kdz as you do..
I HAVE DONE IT MYSELF several times when my phone didn't show Download mode on the screen.. but cannot guarantee it'll work for you too.. I I'd recommend you to give it a try as it always worked fir me..

follow these steps.. :if you have less than 1 gb kdz file
1) Download the latest KDZ from LG's server for your phone via
the app below (kudos to the creator)
http://www.mediafire.com/?cgeb6o5osy2yl9c
2) Make sure you have LG United Drivers already installed,
otherwise download from below
http://www.mediafire.com/?82nt1aeh04aqa3m
3) Download LG KDZ Updater
http://www.mediafire.com/?sj5y073xal03ntw
4) Download the manual adb wipe batch file
http://www.mediafire.com/?ru7erfxsz7p7s3p
5) Put your Optimus G into Download Mode by switching it off,
attaching the usb cable to the phone, holding both the up and
down volume buttons at the same time and lastly inserting the
usb cable into the computer; wait for the drivers to finish
loading if doing it for the first time.
6) Unzip the downloaded updater zip file and run KDZ_FW_
UPD.exe. Use the settings below
Type: 3GQCT
Phone Mode: CS_Emergency
KDZ file: navigate to the folder which you have saved the
downloaded KDZ from the step (1)
Click Launch Software Update and wait for the flash process to
finish
7) Your phone will restart itself when IParam = 90 is displayed
and proceed slower until you see IParam=1 again (which
signals the end of flash, you can safely exit the program then
and remove the cable from the phone). If phone boots up
normally, congrats, skip the steps below and proceed to use the
phone as per normal.
However, this most probably will not be the case for newer
Optimus-es, as the data partition somehow wasn't wiped even
when KDZ-ed, remaining 'dirty', thus causing bootloop or
security infringement.
8) If the phone is stuck at the booting up LG/Telco logo, you
will need to manually wipe the data partition.
9) Force the phone off by holding the power button for appx
15secs.
10) Put the phone into recovery mode by holding the volume up
and home button concurrently, then press the power button. Let
go of all the buttons after you see the LG logo on screen for the
2nd time and the screen goes blank thereafter (backlight may
still be on). The phone will kind of reboot and then enters
recovery mode. Repeat the process if you did not get it the first
time.
11) With the phone in Recovery Mode, connect it to the
computer, wait for the drivers to load (if doing it for the first
time), unzip the wipe batch file downloaded earlier from step (4)
, double click on wipe.bat to execute the wipe command.
12) Your phone will auto reboot when wiped and (hopefully)
boot as per normal.
Hope with this simple guide fellow members will feel safer when
rooting or removing non essential LG wares from their Optimus

OTA Update Elephone P8000 stucks at Boot Logo

Hi there,
I just updated P8000 via OTA update and after downloading the Update, the phone restarted and stops at the elephone boot Logo (about 30 min )!!
I did 5 Restarts but every time it hangs at the boot logo...
In the past i did no other updates or flashing ROMS.. nothing!
When i press "Volume Up" and "Power" to Start, i get three Options:
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Using Recovery Mode leads to: Symbol Android Robot with "No Order" (in german : "Kein Befehl")
Using Fastboot Mode leads to: Nothing (Recovery Menue stays)
Using Normal Boot leads to: restart and hanging at Elephone Boot Logo
So, I am running out of Options... any ideas?
Cheers, Albert

The Hardware of P8000 is pretty cool, but the Software is "§$§"%§""!$%

When you go to recovery mode and get the the android robot symbol. Press again Vol up + Power until you enter to recovery. Make a 3 wipe (data factory , cache and dalvink). Reboot and uninstall the El loader. Use another Loader instead of El Loader

i had the same problem. (in English NO COMMAND) I only flash Eragon ROM again. Sometimes you have to repeate.

I downloaded this ROM: stock-rom-elephone-p8000-20150907-android-5-1 (this is my first post i can't post URL..)

Yes you can use SPFlash tool evenif the phone stucks in the boot screen. Simply switch the phone off, start SPFlash tool and then connect the phone to usb.
If you follow the instructions from elephone, then your phone should working again: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-1037-1-1.html#.VofQ13wvdpo
Cheers

Hi, and thx for the help.
The driver is correctly installed now, i had to allow unsigned drivers in windows parameters.
So, i followed the tutorial, again.
I configured SP flash tool, clicked download, and then connected powered off P8000 with USB.
But, again, the phone displays recharging logo, and flash tool still waiting...
The phone is recharging so the USB is working, so i don't know how to make my PC detect the phone......
Is there a way or a thing that i missed?
thank you..
EDIT: i finally got a timeout error from flashtool..
I missed something, but what !? i can't remove P8000 battery, is there somthing to do to get it detected by windows?
Like a boot mode, or a magic formula... i'm open

For MTK Driver installation:
Did you follow skeletons Guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/guide-windows-10-mtk-vcom-usb-drivers-t3264884
I'm sorry to say, that I do not have any experience with windows installation, this problem, because SPFlash tool performes on my 64bit Linux very well, without any driver trouble.
Cheers

Hi,
I'm on windows 8.
I used SP_driver_v2.0, that is an .exe
it's the only driver tips gived in most of tutorial
I allowed unsigned drivers installation, and i correctly installed it.
I tried too use flashtool before and after restarting the PC-> no changes
Flashtool doesnt detect the phone
I start getting crazy..

I have repaired mine, so i'll share

So the simple way to solve it is flashing the latest stock elephone p8000 ROM, which you can find on google easly
1. as described on other forums, you have to install the adnroid drivers, then get the sp flash tool, and have an un-zipped stock elephone p8000 ROM.
2. if you are stuck at bootloop, do the following to power off the phone so you can flash the ROM
1. Long press power button until power off
2.Do it fast--Press volume Up and then hold power button
3. choose recovery (volume up choose menu, volume down enter)
4. android logo with red triangle is displayed( "no command")
5. hold power button and press volume up
You're in recovery mode
3. select power off
4. open the SP flash tool >go to download tab>opne "scatter loading"( you will find it in the Folder where you unzipped the stock elephone p8000 ROM, if you have more folders there, chose "firmware" folder)
5. on the left side, under scatter loading, you will find a "pull-down" tab - it will be written "download" chose "firmware upgrade" or "upgrade"
6. start the process, then connect your elephone p8000 (it must be powere off) via usb cable to the PC, the process will start,and in less then 5 Minutes you have a factory new Elephone p8000 with the latest good update
7. WATCH OUT- it will erase all your data, absolutely all your data on the phone, except SIM and SD card.
Hope it helped, if not, feel free to ask me =)

Hello,
I have similar problem. Bought P8000 5 days ago. Did update today. Bricked. Stuck at logo ... I tried to flash but SP flush tool but the process isn't starting. When I downloaded ROM I received long list as on the screenshot: kaczorowscy.name/Screenshot.png
I have ubuntu - I see lsusb and dmesg see the phone (it is shut down from recovery menu) but maybe I am missing something ....

Ok here is what id did:
1. Get SP flashtool
2. get newest stock ROM
3. Shut down phone through android recovery menu (start phone with holding volume up, select recovery mode, wait for dead android, hold volume up and unblock button for 3 sec.)
4. Open SP flashtool - use "format all + download" of ROM (unzip and select scatter file from rom) - click start
5. Connect shut downed phone
6. Dot OK! from flashtool
PS. Flashing removed IMEIs - they are both written on the battery - you need to use android service menu to check them with special codes and reboot the phone.
Thanks ALL! :good:

Fix - Recovery Mode

Hi there,
I just updated P8000 via OTA update and after downloading the Update, the phone restarted and stops at the elephone boot Logo (about 30 min )!!
I did 5 Restarts but every time it hangs at the boot logo...
In the past i did no other updates or flashing ROMS.. nothing!
When i press "Volume Up" and "Power" to Start, i get three Options:
Recovery Mode
Fastboot Mode
Normal Boot
Using Recovery Mode leads to: Symbol Android Robot with "No Order" (in german : "Kein Befehl")
Using Fastboot Mode leads to: Nothing (Recovery Menue stays)
Using Normal Boot leads to: restart and hanging at Elephone Boot Logo
So, I am running out of Options... any ideas?
Cheers, Albert

When I was trying to root my p8000 I couldn't flash a custom recovery, fortunately I discovered that to access recovery on stock android you need to go to the screen with the android and "no command"/"no order" text and hold down Vol+Up and Power for 3~ seconds and then release power, this will boot you into recovery mode, If wiping cache/factory reset isn't enough "fastboot flash recovery <image>.img" SHOULD work now
hope this helped
