Optimus S LS670 - please stop me on my el bricko - Optimus V Android Development

just bought it for $30. it worked great. so i download rom manager and flash the clockwork recovery because i am really dumb.
i think it still gets into software update or emergency mode, the screen is blank but the buttons light up and in KD500 i CAN flash a bin file to 95% but then it cuts out saying phone disconnected, as the phone reboots it just hangs on LG logo.
ive tried lgpnst but it claims at 0% MASTERBIN DOWNLOAD "NUMBER OF BAD BLOCKS EXCEED LIMIT. PLEASE REPLACE FLASH"
i have spent 16 hours now trying to fix a $30 phone. please stop me guys. either give me a solution or tell me to shove this up my... ahem nevermind

It sounds like there's something wrong with the flash memory in the phone. If that's the case then it's not really your fault, it would've gone anyway. Have you tried booting into recovery and flashing something?
By the way, you posted in the wrong forum, this belongs in Q&A

it wont go into recovery, it just pops up the LG logo and sits there
at first, right after i flashed the bad recovery, i could do the emergency boot sequence (hold backspace and vol down, insert usb). up would pop the SW update mode.
so i did that, and tried the stock LG updater, but it wouldnt keep talking. so i tried the KD500 method, and it appreared to work but thats where im at now. even if i boot into SW update mode, its just a blank screen now, but it will still connect to KD500 and seemingly flash a bin just fine. however when the phone reboots at the end it just lights up the dumb lg logo and sits there.
its just frustrating. i know its not the end of the world, just man. ugh maybe its the wrong cabs? ive tried LS670ZVC_11.SC_11.P60674.cab and such... 75, 70...they all do the same thing

I'm not sure about the KD500, so you may have already done this, but have you tried what is says here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=30798348

thats a wrong link. it just links to a reply for this thread

oh, sorry, I have no idea how that happened, I meant this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314

yeah, and it seems i can get that mode to work, however i do not believe i have the right kdz.
thing is, when i try to follow the links to download the original firmware from lg, i cant get anywhere....
ill keep trying. i really think if i just had the right kdz it will work

AAAAAAAAAnnnnnnnnnnnd thats a wrap.
i finally found the right cab i think. i used an LG firmware update app found here on xda.
but i guess the firmware gods did not want this phone alive. during the update, i left for the store. came back, and my laptop wasnt charging, sending it to sleep during the update.
total brick now. no emergency mode. no lg logo. just buttons light up thats it. no communication with the pc at all.
its dead. rip little optimus.
**Update. Just bought a Sanyo Zio for $19.98 shipped off the bay. lets see how fast i can screw this one up!

ha! trying to get my droid x off ics this morning.
BRICKED as well
at least i still got the bootloader!
i forgot then when you do the ota .621 update you NEVER go back. no matter what you flash, youll always be a .621 phone. SO USE .621 CUSTOM ROMS YOU IDIOT
and youre lucky you didnt fry this droid by trying to program it with a dead battery!
sheesh! idiots! (me!) :cyclops:

OK. one last thing.
i had another droid X that has been sitting around for months. i couldnt get it out of bootloader. everything i tried made it worse. it wouldnt even take the linux sbf .621 flash that worked on my other dx's. i really thought it was toast.
but today, i ran across the signed and verified moto stock rom for .621 while i was trying to fix my everyday DX. so i said, "WTF". i flashed the old dx in windows rsd because thats supposedly supposed to flash the radio too.
well, whatever it did, IT WORKED. i am almost in tears right now. this phone is MINT. like brand new, bought it for $40 because the last guy couldnt get it to flash either.
the whole time, it just wanted a verified moto rom!
one more sbf flash to a rooted .621 rom, and bingo. i have a like new fully rooted dx!!!!!!! I cant help but brag! i spent so many hours on this thing!
I could jump through the roof right now!:good::good::good: two droid x phones for less then $80 total! just hours and hours of pulling hair too hahaha

I should have seen this before.. I know a good place for optimus s.

no i said STOP me!
guess what? i had the battery on an external charger the other day. one last time, i put it in the phone and hooked it up to my laptop. BUH BUM! it connected!
so i quick tried to flash the verified verizon rom. it seemed to take, but again it does not boot up.
HOWEVER, i do now have the S/W upgrade screen back! i dont think this phone is dead yet! its such a joke to keep trying for a $30 phone, but man it bugs me that a simple software problem is keeping this thing from being at least a good mp3 player!
edit- ive seen most of those links though. my problem is i dont have the stock recovery on this phone, and to flash that you need to adb into it... which i cant! I truly believe if i could find the right KDZ file for my phone it would work! all the links i find are for optimus V's! i have an optimus S, model US670 which is VERY hard to find roms for.
i used the LG update app found on xda here, and it downloads an SBF file. even if i change the extension to KDZ it doesnt work! file extract error every time. i need to find my KDZ for this phone and i just know it will work!

Motorola Defy Bricked? Can you help?

Hi,
this is my first message here and I hope it is in the right place.
Only 2 days after getting my defy I already managed to brick it.
Basically, I wanted to add hebrew fonts, was playing arround with a file explorer trying to copy the fonts from the microSD to the /system/fonts/ folder, then as the files were not copied I deleted one of them and tried again. Continued playing arround and then did a restart. Only Motorola logo is showing.
I tried the down arrow for starting in "Android system recovery" and tried both wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. I also tried to apply sdcard:update.zip with only the fonts in it. no luck.
I am reading and reading and not finding anything... Can someone please help me?
i think bricked is when it doesnt start at all, so its not that bad
Someone help this guy
psbh, how do you think the defy feels in hand, i like metalic phones , im not sure with this one, its light and plastic
do you value the build quality extremely , like me?
if so does it feel cheap?
thanks for your reply mariu$!
i have to admit that i already solved it by myself ~embarassed~. i should learn to try everything before i am crying for help like a lil girl.
if anyone would get to see this and had the same problem, how i solved it was by installing RSD Lite and flashing the phone with a new .sbf file. i did feel like i was close to die from sadness...
to the defy: the phone indeed feels cheap and i really doubt its outdoor "abilites". it is light and the big screen and fast processor makes it worth the 300€. i have it since 2 days and already dropped it a couple of time and it stayed one piece
i really dont want it o be cheap
do you have the white version? i think that it looks cheaper because it's as it has a rubber band arround it
i saw you mentioned the price in euros, so you bought it in europe, hows the call quality your hearing?
thanks for your answers
I agree that the white version looks cheaper, thats why I got the back one. At least from the front it looks good
I havent had the chance to call with it yet I rarely ever use mobile phones for calling... but the rest is great!
ill probably buy it too
i think after i dive it in the water a few times, it wont feel cheap, after all not many phones can do that, and it must be build seriously to be able to do that
My alternative was the XT720, but i hate the side part and the blue back
The Build quality however is exceptional
in my opinion it doesn't FEEL cheap. I could understand if someone would say it looks cheap from the back though, but i really like the design.

@Sorensiim : It works, thanks bro ! i was already near throwing this phone out f the window, thanks again for your support
You can't brick a phone by flashing roms (assuming the rom has no radio image) or recoveries, but can when flashing a new radio image and i think when flashing a new SPL bootloader
Your phone is fine if you can get into any one of the following:
ROM
recovery
Bootloader (fastboot ect)
its when you can not get into any of these, you have a true brick.
Please correct me if i am wrong

Real Brick..
Guys I really need some help here.
I've really bricked my phone! I cant flash any ROMs, even small BOOT ONLY ones.
All I get is "error flashing subscriber unit" error...
I've tried RDS Lite 4.8 and 4.8, with Drivers, every time clean uninstall and install.
RDS can see the phone no problem, I've tried changing setting in RDS, no luck...
This is the log from RDS:
ERROR: Flash failure: Phone[0000]: Error flashing subscriber unit. Device API Error: 0xE0030009 Address: 0xB101F000 Command: ADDR (Error Code: e0030009),
Detailed Error Details: Direction of the Error=1000, Command Value=200000, Code Group Number=35
All this happened suddenly after flashing to Chinese 2.2 with Higgsy Mod coming from stock T-mobile UK.
I've searched everywhere, but no one know what's going on.
Any Ideas Please...
Bricked defy for sure
My defy isnt starting at all, was flashing a sbf file when my windows crashed and now my phone is neither entering recovery nor bootloader. I think its bricked but any suggestions would be appreciated( urgently needed).
Everything needed to flash a defy, don't kill it and know what you are doing is in a Sticky in the forum. Very first post.
Edit: That's what happens when you dont see the post date hehe.
To the last poster, if you cant really enter Bootloader or Recovery, I'm afraid you really have a Brick

First make sure your battery has a full charge. You can look up the McGyver usb charging method. Your battery might not have a charge anyone. With this method you can flash another sbf. If this doesn't work then yes, you have a brick.

This happened to me, the phone wouldn't turn on but when plugged in, RSD lite still recognized the phone. If this is the case flash away. Always make sure your battery has enough juice in it. Good luck!

Thanks for your replies guys, btw can you please elaborate on McGyver usb charging method, and my phone is not at all recognised by rsd lite and initially when i was about to flash ie when my phone was is a working condition i had some issues with rsd lite v4.9 too, it would flash only one specific sbf file and none other would start(start bar wouldnt get highlighted but for that one specific fixed sbf file), the only thing that i can see on my phone is when i connect it to usb a white led glows, and finally god forbid if my phone is bricked what do i do? take it back to the shop coz its still within warranty(hardly a month over ) is it ruined by all the firmware stuff that i did? This is one of the best phones ive ever and i dont wwant to lose it. Please help me out! Eagerly waiting for your suggestions...

I also got the white LED, have you tried pushing volume down while the phone is connected to your computer with RSD lite running, when I did this, RSD recognized my phone even though my phone didn't show the bootloader. As far ar sbf files I not all worked with my phone. I tried a good deal of sbf's. Try until you find one that boots up.

I think the one that worked for me was the UK Tmobile Build # JRDNEM_U3_2.51.1.
I used baseband switcher after flashing both CM7 and MIUI (current) to get 3g working.

Good Luck man

Whats the deal with the EPIC?

I've followed about 10 different links to files that I'm attempting to download to de-soft brick my phone. I'm having ZERO luck. Everything is dead. I've never experienced anything like this before for the 10 or so Android phones I've owned and hacked.
I managed to find Odin 4.3, but I keep getting an invalid file error. & before you call me a noob and tell me to download it again, or change the file name. I've already done that. Several times.
Am I ****ed?
I don't know what Odin 4.3 is but...
If you can get into download mode, use Odin 1.85 and find a rom to try.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184091
If you can't get into download mode, then I'm not sure what to do as I haven't researched brick stuff.
I'm also not sure if the dev forum is the right place for this thread.
Maybe.. if u tried almost ever thing u could to bring your phone back from a brick and its still brick than maybe its time to give up.. pay your deductible and get yourself a replacement.. U have to remember there are consequences to hacking your phone and u have to deal with it now.. Sorry

Try the thread that is titled, bring your phone back from the brink, or something like that.. as long as you have download mode, you are good to go. And odin 4.3 is not an app for our phone.. odin3 ver 1.86 i believe is the newest...

Odin 1.65 is in this thread along with stock Froyo. I had a problem with my samsung logo not showing on boot and following the instructions in this thread got rid of my problem. As others have said, if you can't get into download mode you are out of luck as far as I know.
If you can't get into download mode and have TEP, take your phone into a Corporate Owned Repair Center, give them some bull**** story where suddenly your phone wouldn't come back on, I have done this twice now and they have given me a brand new Epic every time right there on the spot.....no deductible!
U sure down look round for a person that previously have 10 different android phones smh

If you can get into download mode but, you still can't flash, then you probably have a bad cable. If you are using the stock usb cable, replace it with a quality micro usb cable and that should get you sorted. The ones that come with the phone are garbage.
I do find it a little humorous when you say not to call you a noob immediately after you pull "Odin 4.3" out of your hat. You would do well if there was a techie stand up act and your timing was just right.

Yeah man you sure are acting like a noob with the posting in development and all... not to mention odin 4... try turning everything off. Then hold 1 for like 15 seconds then press power while still holding 1. Try around with different combinations of that and it should turn on eventually. Mine did.
cd's or tapes?

I was having trouble ODIN'ing my phone. It kept failing and I thought I bricked my phone because it wouldn't power on. I switched my USB port on my laptop and bam, it worked. Maybe try that (assuming you can get into download mode on your phone).
Try using another fully charged battery from a friends epic. Sometimes waiting an hour works can't tell you how many times I thought I hosed my epic or vibrant for that matter.

Odin Multi Downloader 4.03 wasn't the right tool for the job. I got it from a thread similar to mine where someone was bootlooping and needed to flash back to stock. However, the link provided in the thread that Aryander posted did the trick right away.

[Q] No booting at all - HELP FIX PLEASE!

I was using this method to root my phone: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...-VIhhUe3eupYY1bKA&sig2=MyzZOys2QGrlPe6Pwlh_AQ
& I was stupid and combined the 20B file with the 10R file and then also didn't label TWRP as boot.img as the installer tells me to do as I overlooked that.
Now, I can plug in my phone and my computer recognizes it (Windows). I can't view any files though I just hear the sound that something via USB got connected.
I've tried taking out the battery and unplugging it and pressing the power button for 60+ seconds and then putting it back in and trying to go into download mode. It doesn't seem to work. THough I hear the sound of it plugging into the computer.
So, I tried the LG Flash Tool. It fails at model information check. Then has a bunch of zeros after that.
I tried LG Flash Tool 2014 and all of the KDZ files I had on my computer (as I was unrooting just last night and trying to fix stuff and had KDZ files that worked for me to unroot). Well, that fails with all of the files.
Since that didn't work, I've been googling stuff and decided to try the original tool I had and that's when I noticed I didn't rename TWRP to boot.img and I combined 20B with 10R and figured out my problem. So now aboot and laf don't match the software that the phone has installed on it. For this reason, I can't do anything with my phone.
I'm assuming this is a hard brick. How do I fix this? I need my phone TODAY like an hour ago. :/ I was stupid to try and re-root. Ugh.
Can someone help me please?!
EDIT: I tried the LG Mobile Support Tool and I was able to get to the Install USB Driver section. I clicked it and it loads but nothing happens. So, I clicked options > Upgrade Recovery. I entered my IMEI number and it went through the steps and one of my batteries was low so I changed it out and went back through and it stops randomly and tells me to do the Upgrade Recovery which I was already doing. :/
EDIT 2: Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver from the device manager and then re-ran LG Flash Tool but it stopped at the model info check fail again. So I tried all of the USB ports on my computer and they all stopped at the same error.
EDIT 3: I can't find my iPhone so I really need this fixed. I just want to be clear that I tried these methods as well and nothing has worked thus far: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
I checked the LG website for drivers and such as well so everything should be A'OK from that point of view. I even tried my USB 3.0 that are in the front of my computer.
EDIT 4: Still no luck. Been searching google and other places. I tried fastboot and adb but my phone isn't recognized by those so I can't do those. I want to try and flash the files I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2766437
As I know that will help but without fastboot working, I don't see how I can get the files to be seen. Even if I were to put them on my MicroSD card, I don't see how I could flash them onto my phone. :/ That's all I need are the aboot_XXX.img and laf_XXX.img files fixed. UGH
EDIT 5: Called T-Mo to get a replacement. That will be here Monday. Until then I am doing my best to try and figure out how to fix this. I am severely upset by this. Found my iPhone so I won't be without a phone I'll just be upset until UPS gets here on Monday.
Well I hope this is a lesson for you. Unless you are absolutely sure you know what you are doing you read, read, read, and read some more. No where in that thread says you can do this on the d851, we have a unlocked bootloader and do not need bump. About your tot problem you can find generic dll that will not care what you're flashing. Be safe and stay out of the international threads from now on. I was a little harsh but I can kind of understand how that happen to you, that OP is a cluster f***

I recently had a problem with my phone and I was able to restore using TOT and KDZ files but my phone kept power cycling over and over. I sent it to LG and they replaced the usb port and the screen as I had put a dent through the back where the battery goes and they replaced all the parts and I guess a new board due to the power cycling due to flashing ota with twrp. It looks like a brand new phone but it's mine because the IMEI was the same. I would try to flash it using the TOT method and if it still doesn't work then send it to LG, the worst they can do is send it back. All I paid was 10.00 bucks for the box. Everything else was covered including shipping back to me. Go via the LG website and they will give you a free FedEx label and a Case #.
Good luck

I already did. Nothing. Finally got my replacement g3 and everything works. Was able to root and install lollipop ROM. Works like a charm.

[Q] Help! 3 hours, accidentally soft bricked my G4!

I'm on T-Mobile, and I upgraded from a G3 to a G4. Ordered the G4 from T-Mobile yesterday, got it a few hours ago. Earlier today, I went through the restore process for the G3 using the LG Flash Tool (essentially following these steps here). That all went fine. Shortly after that, without thinking, and without closing the LG Flash Tool, I plugged my G4 into my computer to charge it. I got confused for a moment when I noticed it restarting. The Flash Tool had picked it up, and was setting up to push the G3 firmware to it. I panicked, and unplugged the phone from the computer, right as the phone went to the "Firmware Update" screen. Now, whenever I turn it on, it just goes straight to "Firmware Update". Won't enter recovery mode, etc, etc... No matter what, just "Firmware Update".
Any help?

Well, it has the same download mode as the G3 (which is unfortunately the only thing it will boot into), so technically I should be able to flash the firmware the same way, only problem with that is, because it's so new, the .dll and .tot files aren't available anywhere.
I tried a hard reset from the phone, didn't work. I couldn't get ADB to pick up the device (since it only boots into download mode), so I couldn't reboot into recovery via ADB
Took it into a T-Mobile store, they couldn't do anything, as expected. Notated my account, and said to call. New phone was ordered and being sent out to me, should have it Monday

sorry theres no fix to this right now. but i think its a little too early to mess with the G4
You have to restore you LG G4 to stock ROM.As your device is bricked you can't Flash via recovery.Download & Install LG Flash tool on your PC.Then download LG Stock Firmware according to your device model number.Then Flash via LG Flash tool.Below i share some helpful links

Actually there was no need to go to the store and get a new phone
You can easily flash G4 KDZs via LGUP, if you're stuck in download mode. Easiest game of your life. Sorry, that you had a lot of trouble, but keep in mind, that there's a way to get out of bootloops and such 99% of the time (well in fact 100% if it's a software problem). For future problems just check this thread. Easy to use, easy to get out of bootloops. Cheers

Thanks. But this was back in May, about 24 hours after it launched in the US. KDZ's weren't available then. Otherwise I would have done exactly what you said

D851 Wont Boot into TWRP or Into Android after flashing Fulmics D855 ROM

As the title says, i mistakenly selected D855 in Fulmic ROM(Noob mistake). Just this morning my friends suggested Fulmic ROM so i decided to download and flash it. I already had root and TWRP 3.0.0-0 installed. After the download was done, i copied it onto my SD Card and booted into TWRP. In TWRP, i backed up my data as i had already done a full backup a month a go. I was on Stock KK 10C.
When i selected Fulmic's zip, it asked me to select my device but i noticed there was no D851, but there was the at&t version, Verizon version, D855 etc... So i selected the D855 as i taught somehow the D855 and the D851 were somewhat similar and that it would run on my D851, (yea... i now know it was such a stupid assumption i made). So i flashed the D855 onto my D851 and once it was done, i hit the reboot button and the device went off and never came on. I tried booting into TWRP but nothing worked, then i took out the battery and pressed vol up and inserted the USB and it showed me an empty battery sign with a yellow triangle on the lower right side of the empty battery.
When i connect the device to Windows, it shows up as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port.
I am pretty lost here, i dont know what to do right now. I have been reading lots of threads but i havent found any thread that explains how to deal with such a situation.
Any Help is appreciated.
Regards Mickey.
Wow! No replies so far?
People, i am loosing it here. Any suggestions are welcomed. I have no idea what i should do
Cry...and be very angry. Jk
You more than likely hard bricked like others are doing because they're flashing the wrong things...
It's like using diesel in a petrol motor and vice versa. You're gonna have a bad time.
Honestly I don't know how to help because I don't flash things that don't go with my device, I am not being a jerk but just saying, i'd take a look at the hard brick Q&A's ive seen a few of them. They might have what you are looking for ?

Hey amigow
Are you able to get into download mode?.. If so you can always flash back to stock kk using lg flash tool ... Search how to downgrade here on xda that'll get you back to normal as long as you're able to get into download mode

If all else fails, you should be able to restore by following the instructions for a hard brick recovery. I warn you it is not a procedure for the faint of heart, but it saved my bacon (AKA, LG D850).
It involves shorting two pins on a chip (can't remember if it's the SOC or not, but it hardly matters). I managed it with a pair of needlepoint tweezers, but the guide instructs you to use a fine wire. I can't imagine doing it that way, but maybe you can.
In any case, the guide that worked for me is here, "http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/general/guide-fix-hard-brick-recovery-guide-t3132359" . Just follow it to the letter and don't compound your earlier mistake. (Not trying to be a jerk; just advising against rushing the process or second guessing any steps. You might think it can't get any worse or you've got nothing to lose, but it's still possible to make it worse by doing something wrong.)
Good luck!
