Hello, since I had my sprint lg optimus g, I played a lot with it, because we don't have sprint here in Venezuela, so I had to set the phone to be used here. It seems that i play too much whit it and bring it to a hard brick, the phone does nothing, not even recognized by the pc. So I wonder if this can be arranged in any way? If the screen of this model can be put to the international model with no problems? If the logic board of the international version can work with the rest of the hardware of this version? In advance thank you very much.

What happens when you hold volume down button and power together? It should bring up the factory recovery and you should be able to do a hard reset. Press power again to do the reset.

Hello everyone,
I hope i posted in the right place...
For starters, Everyone on here has saved my phone more times than I can count. Which i thank you all for. I always search around for the ansewer before I post a question. But this one has got me good. I tried to use the unlocker, VZW TPSSPL, and somewhere along the line, I screwed up. Where I am at now, is when i install the battery to my phone, (touch pro 2 verizon) and try to power it up, i get nothing. The screen just stays black. I cant perform the hard reset, and get no response from the phone itself. BUT if I plug it in Via USB to the computer, it promts me for a driver install, qualcomm cdma MSM driver, which wont install, and i cant seem to find what i need to do. I have already started the process to get a new phone, but if theres still hope to retrieve it, i would be very happy. if not, its my fault and i will take my medicine. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
Moved as not ROM Development.
Try entering the bootloader by holding down the Volume Down & Power key while your phone is turned off. You should see a 3-color screen with some info displayed.
If this works, connect your phone with a usb cable and you should be able to flash it

It sounds like you installed a CDMA ROM. If you only installed a CDMA ROM, not a CDMA boot loader, then you can recover by flashing back to a GSM ROM. I would use a releasted ROM for your device - look on the ROM development forum.
EDIT: Try and go into bootloader mode: hold the DOWN volume key while pushing the RESET button. If you get the tri-color screen, you should be OK to load a different ROM.

I am getting nothing from it. I cat get into the bootloader screen. The only thing thats hapening is, when i plug it in to my computer, it tries to install a "qualcomm technologies CDMA MSM" "driver", but it cant instal it. I have serched for it too, with no luck. I do have insuracnce, so I'll just pay the deductable, i dont have the money for it, but then again, who does? lol Sorry i havent responded sooner, but without my phone, i have to use a LG ENV TOUCH, The phone works great, but it cant do anything. I miss my TP2. Thanks for all the help.
Are you using the correct combination for the bootloader?
Power Button + Volume Down + Reset Button. means, do a soft reset while holding the "volume down" key and power key on the side of the device. hold these keys until you see a special tricolour screen which is the bootloader mode.
Put a rom on your sd card, enter bootloader and flash.

Yeah, that is the problem. I believe he installed the CDMA on a GSM device. I've heard you can get past that, but not if you install the CDMA bootloader. I don't know, maybe the loader is installed with they burn a CDMA ROM.

I know. But he might have flashed a CDMA bootloader onto a GSM phone. Which is why I asked.

Quite possible. I just flashed a 6.5 ROM onto my phone, and I know darn well it replaced the SPL. If indeed there was a CDMA bootloader placed onto a GSM phone, I believe it takes a JTAG to recover from that
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. And I have tried all sorts of diferent ways trying to get it in the bootloader screen, and even waited 30secs while holding down the buttons. As far as the CDMA vs GSM, I did alot reading, mainley for re-assuring myself, and I have come up with CDMA, I even ran the phone with the sim card out when running android, which I was able to run using the CDMA setup. There was even a proccessor break down somewhere, to help determine weather it was CDMA, which I used in conjunction with everything else. What I think may have happend: Either I didnt read something right, and tried using a GSM unlocker, instead of a CDMA unlocker, which I really DONT think so, but its possible. The other thing is, mabey I used the proper unlocker, and when the screen went black on my phone, I may not have waited long enough for everything to happen, and I may have unplugged the USB to soon, causing the unlocking proccess to not finish. I waited for what seemed to be a long time, but I may not have waited long enough. The 3rd possiblity, is that my battery died in my phone, and trying to get it into the bootloader isnt going to happen. I dont think that is the case, only because, A: My battery had a full charge when I started. and B: my Ma Dukes has a TP2 and i used her battery as well, with no luck. Thanks again for the replies everyone, I'm glad you guys are here to help.

That might of did it. Sounds like you didn't let it flash.
EDIT - No sollution found!!
Please examine this thread if you have similar problems, but please don't ask how we got it fixed. The phone was just done for, dead, bricked, whatever you want to call it.
Good luck with yours!

Hey people,
A friend of mine is getting a white screen on his Galaxy Y, can't do anything with it. Even a hard reset (as found on the internet) doesn't work. (Hard reset being holding volume up, center button and power button).
Does anyone have experience with this problem?

Thats NOT a hard reset! Pull the battery, and insert it again. Now do your "hard reset". As in, holding volume up+home+power key together until you see the Samsung logo. Do a data wipe and restart. If that doesnt work, search for flashable firmware packages in the Development section. If that doesn't work either, replace your phone.
Hey guys,
Thank you both for your replies.

Stating what happened: He just suddenly had a white screen, unable to do anything with the phone. Rebooting, pulling the battery etc. didn't do anything.
Your second option didn't work either unfortunatly.

Sorry about that, I just read in about this phone, since it's not mine, and I already forgot about the second part.
Unfortunately, neither of this works. Every boot method gets him a white screen. Since he rooted his phone about a week ago, looks like he's going to need a new one.

try flashing the ROM using Odin from the PC
Might Odin be the same as Samsung Kies in dutch? Or is this an external program?
Assuming it's this program: http://odin-win.sourceforge.net/
Now how does this work? I've been flashing my phone for quite a while now, but I'm not familiar with this program. Can I just download a ROM (stock) from the developers part here?

My friend tried everything you people suggested, but nothing worked. He just had an expert look at it and it's just totally bricked. Gotta buy a new one. Thanks for trying anyway!
Sorry for bringing this up again, but I kinda feel sorry when people brick their devices. Yours doesnt have to be a brick. Read this. The instructions are on the first page. There's a link to Odin too. Hope for the best!

I was trying to completely clean my DHD for my girlfriend. So I wiped is all off via all the information on this forum.
Tried to flash ROM, RUU, Bootloader and Kernel. (after some advices)
Now I have a big problem I think....
I cannot get into my bootloader anymore, my DHD is starting with HTC logo and then continues with Android startup and keep hanging in there.
Vol. down + Power is not getting me into bootloader.
Flashing from CMD does not seem to work either because I cannot get the DHD to connect via USB. (cable is connected to DHD and laptop)
If you can help me.... my girlfriend and I would be much gratefull.

what i know is accessed to the phone bootloader it just have two optional way..
first...with pressing and hole volume down+power
second..with adb command while the phone is already booting inside the rom..and off course with already enabling USB debugging too in system settings..
if both way doesn't work to access your bootloader...i think the last change is you must flashing it again the from beginning with RIFF BOX hardware and JTAG software if you have it..or take the phone to services center of HTC..
sorry...can't help more than this..

yes i know..if you already broken your phone cause of changing software by your self..htc will not recover your phone under they warranty
you already had loosing your phone warranty.. but i think that's not mean they can't help and fix your phone..off course without warranty (if they already know or detected that you already fault your warranty) then they will charge you with some of cost..
if so..with the hope of luck..then you can try brought your phone to the htc service center..then let they're analyst your phone and make decision about your valid warranty..who knows you already lucky then they don't know what are you already do it previously to that phone..
note : this all mean that's if your DHD is still recover under warranty by time..right..
hopefully your DHD will fixed soon..and good luck..

i wiped all internal data for install a new rom via TWRP but this new rom doesn't exist XD
Okay, so you wiped all data. Then what, you tried to flash new rom via ADB?
just reboot to twrp by holding vol up and power. when you see the lg logo release power and press and hold it again. Then a screen asking to factory reset comes up. say yes and yes, then you are in twrp. Connect phone to computer and enable mtp mode so your computer see the phone. You can then transfer another rom to phone to flash.

Wiping even with internal data checked doesn't wipe twrp...you will have to use button combo to boot as another user suggested...hold vol down+power and when screen comes on release only power then quickly repress power...do not release volume...many people are giving instructions from g2/3 which are slightly different than g4...i have accidentally done this myself...trust me twrp won't overwrite itself it's still there
