wiped everything - LG Optimus G Pro

I accidentally formatted everything from my phone. I was in CWM and I formatted everything, and now I basically do not have anything on my phone at all. After the LG boot up logo, the phone goes blank. I'm able to go into download mode. I tried following this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2420219, I keep getting failed previousload() a few seconds after clicking the top left yellow icon in LG flash tool. Anyone have any idea whats going on or how to fix this? LG E988.

Copy a compatible ROM to your memory card and start CWM to flash the ROM you have just copied.
Hope this helps.

Hi I didn't find it in one particular section, I had to search everywhere, i spent a good 8 hours straight searching as I really needed my phone to work. I will try my best to start you off though.
I started here.

That's basically all you have to do. I did, however, run into plenty of issues along the way which is what took up all if not most of the 8 hours. What I did was google each and every issues that occured and I always found answers to it (with some added trial and error).
Here are some of the issues I faced while sideloading that you or your friend may come across.
''device not found''
''cannot read file''
Both of which can easily be solved by googling. I hope I guided you in the right path, feel free to pm me if you need anymore help.

[maguro] [paranoidandroid] I can´t wipe my phone

Hi,
Since this moring my phone is constantly rebooting. It first started when I tried to update 6 apps via the market. I´m on Paranoid Android 1.9.9.1. it worked smooth without any problems until today. I´ve alredy tried to reflash erverything but everytime i get the same result: the phone working for a minute and then suddenly out of the nowhere rebooting even if i don´t use it. Then i tried to wipe my phone which didn´t work either. Neither via cwm nor through the settings. Of course i have already searched the forum for possible solutions but it seems like i´m the only one who has ever experienced it. Could someone please led me to a thread wher my problem is discussed or provide me a solution i don´t what to do . Thanks in advance for everyone who is trying to help me.
P.S. I found out that i doesn´t reboot if i do not unlock it. If i unlock it either with sim inserted or not it reboots. WTF???

Flash your phone back to stock first to see if that resolves the issue.

You don't need to copy anything to your sdcard. Flash back to stock using this.

If you have any CPU apps that apply settings at boot maybe that's causing the reboots

[Q] Stock camera not working [LG Optimus Me P350]

Let me give you a little background.
Few days back, I rooted my phone. Then I used Titanium Backup to uninstall apps which I thought were not useful like LG TV, Email- should not have done that
Then the phone was somehow did not boot. I looked up internet and tried something- got worse: Emergency mode with yellow screen. Went ahead to a local phone repair shop and he exploited me well to hand me back the phone in working condition
NOW... the problem is camera does not work. It shows a black screen everytime I launch it. Going in Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All , Camera shows 0 bytes !
Searching on internet I found that I should not have uninstalled the Email app.
Please share some ideas on how I can help myself here. Any help will be appreciated.
PS- I am using Ubuntu on my computer and Froyo.
Holy hell! I had the same problem a long time ago! (Except no uninstalling was involved) It forced my dad to buy me a new phone.

Try installing a custom rom, like cyanogenmod
There are multiple ROMs for the LGOME and they have been behaving as any other ROM for any other phone.

@op
download custom recovery then
boot you phone into fastboot by pressing vol up + call + power button then use
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img
then
fasboot reboot
then download any custom rom that you want and flash that
it will solve your problem
ps: do a google search for more info on fastboot use

Cleaned thread.
OP, I would advise, as you ask questions like the one you posted, verify the information posted before you attempt anything. If someone says that if you install a custom ROM on your device, it'll brick; go to the DEV threads, and check out other peoples experiences. You should also spend a ton of time researching before you start messing with your device. MOST of the big trouble people get into is not reading and asking enough questions. If you want to root, find out how to do it, AND how to fix it if it breaks, before you flash a custom ROM, find out how to do it AND how to get back to stock if you need to. The more you learn, the less the chances are that you'll end up in trouble
Just my 2¢

I think I did that mistake earlier. Read something about rooting and went straight ahead to brick the phone. I am hoping to have a clearer understanding of things this time. Since I am newbie, it will take effort. But this forum has so many experts and people are willing to contribute- I am sure I will learn a lot in the company of you guys.
I will dive in the DEV threads as you adviced. Thank you so much guys You are all my Santa Claus
Probable solution for the my camera problem?

If I use this thread, would it fix my camera ? I am not sure HOW should I install though, but of all the things I have read around here, it seems this might help. Please give your views whether I should go with this
If yes, could you please point me some link with detailed instructions ( the post assumes I know the HOW part ) ?
If you are using Froyo, give a try on it. Follow carefully the steps to how flash a ROM. If you already has an recovery, life is easier. If not, search on net about it =D
Any guides for Ubuntu 12.10

To be honest, I was confused with people talking about Clockwork and Nandroid- and I was stupid enough to try not finding out So, No. There is no recovery but on the bright side, I will do that as the first thing from next time onwards

No Mobile Data After Flashing Rom

Hey there, this is my first post here so go easy on me.
I was fortunate enough to unlock my HTC One through the HTCDev site and didn't do anything really exciting with the phone for a few days. However, last night I flashed newtoroot's GPE rom and have been unable to send or receive phone calls or messages on my device.
According to newtoroot, when the phone begins setup and tries to activate on the network you should try to avoid that step by pressing back. However, pressing back or home buttons wouldn't let me escape that process and it just continued all the way through. I suspect this is where the issues started. Anyway, after it finally finished searching for the network, it said it failed to activate.
I tried wiping my data/cache/dalvik and flashing the stock rom, and newt's other Sense based rom, but neither have helped. I thought I had made a backup, but apparently I didn't.
Any ideas? Thanks for taking the time to read through my problem!
Try taking the sim card out and putting it back in and reset the phone. That worked for me one time with my DNA.

Follow the stuff they did in the CM10.2 thread to get calls/data working on that. It involved flashing the stock recovery and some other stuff, idk but it worked so it can't hurt to try.

Something similar happened to me. I had to go into Settings -> Mobile Data, and change Preferred Network from Global to LTE / CDMA mode. I'm not sure why it picked Global as the default.

Thanks so much for referring me to that thread. Followed the steps and flashed the stock recovery and did a factory reset within HBOOT. It did the trick! Thanks everyone for helping me get this solved.

I'm looking through that thread and can't find the HBOOT method to fix this problem, I believe I am going through the same thing. If someone could help or post their method I would be eternally greatful. Also the link for the vzw stock recovery is giving me a 500 error internal server error so if someone could post that I'd be very appreciative.

Tell me there's hope for my LGOGP

Ok, so I rooted my Optimus G Pro the other day and everything seemed to be going smoothly. Just yesterday it decided it wanted to reboot (it didn't give me a choice) and it sent me to TWR mode. I tried everything I could think of in there to recover or reboot and I just kept getting sent back there. I eventually ended up in CWM recovery but nothing will run properly.
I was able to get into Download mode but I can't figure out how to get further than this.
I think mine was forced an update as I've seen others complaining about... I'm following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2302660 so I hope I can get it running.

Good to hear that you got it working.

My experience with LG G3's KillSwitch

KillSwitch​
Three different ways that I found to get rid of the KillSwitch
Through deactivating and then reactivating your google account/s.
Using the Hard Brick Recovery method.
Octopus/Octoplusbox.
Explanation​
The one I actually tried was the Hard Brick Recovery Method (WillCracker), but
even after that I was still unable to bypass the KillSwitch. So I went back BoardDiag and decided to flash the System, UserData, and Cache since I still couldn't get into download mode.
After about 5-6 hours it was completed. I try booting up download mode and guess what?! KillSwitch is still there xD. I'm absolutely fustrated now and all I could think of is to flash the rest of the files that the HBRM didn't say anything about.
I started flashing in this order: Modem, Misc, Persist, and RCT. Everything is now flashed and I hope everything worksout.
I turn on the phone, waiting patiently. Bootloop over and over again, but guess what?! I tried download mode one last time before I was going to go ape $h!t. Then to my surprise the download mode screen turned on, I used the LG Flash Tool and I am now killswitch free.
KillSwitch did come back after a few updates, but I was able to enter in a pin code allowing me in the future to turn it off at will
Well thank you all for listening, just wanted to share my experience.
as my first post, I do apologize in advance if this is the wrong area for this.
Keep on keeping on xD
Can you tell me the exact order you flashed the phone using boardiag? Thanks in advance!
