Dodged a bullet yesterday. FreeGee unlock, chose TWRP and then went to flash stock v9 odex. Wiped Cache/Dalvick and then flashed. Upon reboot I saw LG screen then black and nothing. Tried to LGPNST from download mode with LG driver and could not detect phone. After messing around in TWRP for about 2 hours where I performed about every function available (just before throwing the phone into the fireplace), I queued the z9 odex twice let TWRP flash it twice and everything worked. Here's the thing, my wife's phone is incessantly prompting to update, so I need to flash her phone. Should I use clockwork? Anyway to avoid a similar issue and near total bricking of her phone?
Same thing using Clockwork on wife's phone. Now I'm trying everything to get it back. Still have recovery, but unable to complete system reboot. Black screen. Used to flash evo all the time, never an issue. Now I'm 0 for 2 with a miraculous boot and update on my phone. This one doesn't look like I'm going to get as lucky. CWM is a bigger pain too. Frustrated. Not looking forward to lgpnst (still not sure how it all works) and then trying this mess again.
I had a similar problem to yours last night to. Except I didn't really do anything to it. It was just sitting there charging and I took it off the charger and it was doing some kind of boot loop, But every so often it would just stop on a black screen. I lgnpst about six times back but after running root and freegee I would try to get into bootloader and it would do it again. Eventually I tried doing freegee with clockwork instead and it did it again, Than I forced the phone off and pluged it in to my computer to get ready to lgnpst again so I could at least use the phone. All of a sudden I look at the screen and there was a battery charging animation. And then unpluged it and for kicks turned it on and it booted up no problem. Then I tried booting into bootloader and all works now. It was really strange, I did put twrp back though. I like it better then clockwork. I think I sore you asking questions in irc while I was in there asking question to ha.

I had the same thing happen and couldn't figure it out so I took it back to sprint told them I did the update and it messed up so they gave me a new phone for 35 bucks and from now on im staying STOCK.........................
DId you try to lgnpst back yet? That may help you.
-Frank
Frank...yup that's how mine worked. Just not sure how to do this. I don't think my failed lgpnst attempts did anything, b/c mine took the update eventually. I'll keep trying. This phone is so temperamental. Does Shellnut have some input on this problem? I can't figure out why some phones take and others don't when doing the same thing.
Talk to Shelnut2 over pm or find him in irc. I just found out there is a special version of freegee that may fix the problem. I seem to have fixed mine but I sent him a pm asking some questions about the problem. I think you are going to need to lgnpst back. Then root and run the special version of freegee. You have to get it from him because it does some things different that may brick the phone permanently. Thats why you have to ask for it. From what I understand it fixes that kind of problem.
-Frank
I will. I'm going to see if this thing will self correct. Otherwise I will check with him on that. The LGPNST is something I'm not looking fwd to doing.
LGPNST is not detecting phone in dl mode but does detect when in recovery. This SUCKS. Frustrated and out of ideas.
When you installed lgnpst did you install the file that says auto-lgnpst? Also did you run install.bat as administrator?

I've been working on mine for a day and a half. I can't figure out the thing with renaming the ".tot" file to ".bin" because I don't even see a .tot file. After I unzipped the big ZV7 there was only one file without an extension so I can't figure out if thats the one I'm supposed to rename. Can you point me in the right direction?:crying:
[ I figured it out, I had to go into Preferences on my file explorer and set it to show all file types...DUHHH ]
In Windows, go to control panel, file settings, show file extensions. Something like that.

Always backup your phone before tinkering with system files, and experimenting with launchers, kernals etc.
Titanium backup in WORTH the investment to upgrade to PRO.
Rom manager is a good one to boot directly into recovery without fiddling in the fastboot menu. And for backing up settings and roms.
Always KNOW what your doing. lol. sometimes even the big guys forget this. RESEARCH!
Yes I am an idiot (point and laugh now) I did something wrong, but have no idea exactly what yet. I searched and couldn't find anything for this version of the Note 2
About 3 weeks ago I updated to the newest version of Whomp, as soon as I did that I would get the hands free activation alert on my phone every time it booted up. It would always error out for code 1500, which is an internal error according to sprint. I was able to still use the phone so I didn't worry about it to much.
Last week the phone stopped switching towers during a phone call. It would drop the call and pick back up at the next tower milliseconds later with full bars. Called Sprint and was advised I needed to update my PRL and Profile, etc. Which couldn't be done because my phone was showing that it wasn't fully activated.
So my plan of attack was to unroot the phone, update everything, then get my root back. Simple enough.
Trying to go back to Stock really broke the phone!
I was trying to flash the stock ROM through Odin last night and it kept erroring out. Now when I try to turn it on or when I try to boot into recovery I get
"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."
I can boot into download mode, so I think it's soft bricked. There has to be some way to fix this... I *might* have impulsed purchased a used Note 2 on ebay last night and the person *might* be overnighting it to me since I seemed pitiful enough. So I have time to get this one working correctly.
I'm just out of ideas... I know when I hard bricked the GS3 (That took a special level of stupid) I mailed it to some place in TX. Is that my only option here? Help please! Also I know just enough to be massively dangerous so use little words please... LOL

i may be wrong, but it seems that for whatever reason you are back to stock recovery, but the rest of it went bad... i would follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 there is a flashable TWRP ODIN tar, so boot into that, flash his MC2 ZIP and you should be good. similar thing happened to me, but i would just at endless bootloop, flashed that MC2 zip and im back to stock. Best of luck
Ha! That's the thread I was searching for. I found the one made for the GS3, but couldn't locate the Note 2 one. Thanks so much! I'll fiddle around with that tonight after work
It worked It worked It worked It worked It worked It worked It worked It worked! You have no idea how happy I am right now!
So now I'm unrooted and back in the stock ROM. I'm going to update my profile/prl/system/firmware then root later on tonight and probably flash the Jelly Bomb ROM
Thanks you for your help! Phone is no longer soft bricked and is activated onto the Sprint account again.

I removed the battery and put in mobile on and works to back stock rom. thx
Wish it was that easy for me. Did that several times, even tried doing it without the battery. Then tried removing the battery right when it does the check and putting it back in. It worked until like 90% then gave another error.
ive tried the lg flash tool with both the files it worked before last time i got soft bricked well i flashed that stock kit kat for the f whatever series that is on the e980 dev it flashed a diff recovery on my phone now i cant get to revcovery and download mode fails after it not being a e890 device anymore sorry i have been up all night trying to fix this and now im completly stuck.download mode fails after it not being a e890 device anymore sorry i have been up all night trying to fix this and now im completly stuck. download failed 5 sec says the pid number imei number and then device model is different check phone or dll f0000002
What Rom did you install the stock 4.4 zdk or the sphinx 4.4 flashable Rom?

i flashed the sphinx 4.4 flashable Rom idk why it installed a recovery with it couldnt see sd card then when tried flashing another e980 rom it wouldnt let me said i had the wrong device or something idk im pissed about to smash it

i was on a cwm before but it ended up flashing a new one and thats when i started having problems now no recovery stuck at lg logo and i know my battery is low
The first thing I would do is pull your battery, wait a few minutes, put the battery back in and connect the charging cable. It may not want to boot but it will charge the battery while the phone is off. Get your battery charged first, then worry about getting it up and running again.
Keep in mind I'm not picking at you or anyone. But why would someone choose to flash a Rom designed for one version to another version? I know our devs make tweaks to allow one to run on the other but it's a chance I wouldn't take. If you have the E980, stick to E980 Roms. It's risky enough flashing Roms as it is because no two devices are the same. You know what I mean? And don't smash you phone. There are many smart people here that can get you up and running again. Smash the phone and you will be upset with yourself later....trust me. I did it and I was pissed at myself later when I found out it was easy to fix....stay calm....lol
i know i knew i should not have idk ive been flashing zips for a very long time guess it happened to still get the best of me even though i read through the thread and i seen a couple e980 users saying it worked haha well not for me i just hope i can get her back up and going soft bricks are ok its when i cant fix this that makes me crazy. slammed around my dual monitors and almost went after my evga build which would not have been good. Man i can not thank u enough i even had to make another account my old one was lows10 and i guess it was inactive for to long but been here since 07 only place i trust to exploit my devices.
Well I'm not the smartest person here. I just got this phone about a month ago and I haven't even got flashing it back to stock down pat yet. It's a work in progress....lol. But just get your battery charged for now. Then you will most likely have to flash it back to stock. I don't know if you have done this process yet on that phone but if you have then you know basically what you need to do. Just don't go flashing any more Roms made for other versions of the g pro....lol
this will be my 3rd time flashing back to stock but with my phone not being read as a e980 i cant get back to stock.
Did you use the Lg Flash Tools method?
Yes lg flash tool has worked perfect until now after that ROM

Tricky bugger it's gonna be ah? Did you try running it in Administrator mode? Be sure to follow the steps exactly as he lays them out.
Well in the left it says lge988at maybe thats why it isnt working with the lg flash? Grrrr idk this sucks and it keeps stopping working and its not in english
It has to be on com 41. I have noticed the lg flash tools method can be hit and miss with allot of people. I finally got it down pat enough to get it to work every time. You could try doing it this way........http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476........He gives a link to a newer lg flash tools. Maybe you will have better results.
damn it still closes with that its right after it gets done loading my phone i guess i cant flash a e988 stock and see if that works? thats what it reads it as right before it closes idk maybe its cause 8.1 but dont think so the app doesnt even open in english idk seems like everyone elses is.
Honestly I don't know why it isn't in English. It is for me but I'm on the stock E980 FW. All I can think is you, somehow, flashed the Korean version of the F240. Just as a precaution I keep a flashable stock 10k on my sd card just in case the need for it arises. But not being able to get into recovery isn't helping your cause here. Keep an eye on the battery as well. If it starts draining down too far just power it off and let it charge more so you don't get so involved with the phone you forget. The problem for me is I'm more of a hands-on person. it's harder for this type of person to walk someone through fixing a gadget.....lol.
An honestly man, I don't know how else to help you. Hopefully someone allot smarter than me is gonna come along any minute now that will know exactly how to fix this issue. All I can suggest now is to keep searching the forum for this type of problem and find a solution. Just don't lose your temper or give up. The solution is here somewhere. I'll search around too. See what I can dig up.
exactly what i thought man ahhh and idk why its not in english either i mean im on my pc there should be no reason for it not to work. Idk I appreciate all your help. havent been in trouble like this since back years and years ago on the old first gen g1 hahahah. and ya flashing the Korean version of the F240 is what i did i really hope there is a way to fix this i had a backup but external sd card quit working so tranfered it on the phone when it still worked flashed back seemed fine went to try flash the e980 baseband and still no good now im just stuck. tempted to try and see if the e988 will work since it wont flash the stock e980 sorry for keep on talking im just going crazy.
It's all good man. I understand your frustration. I have been doing this for a long time now as well. Most of my experience is with moto's and Samsungs. Now I'm learning all over again with another phone myself. But anywho, yeah, give that a try. Flash the e988 if you can. At least if it works you can get into your recovery and sd card to try and flash it back to stock from there and be back on the E980 fw. It's like going around your ass to get to your elbow but hey, if it works who cares right?.....lol. And if you get it working again I suggest putting a flashable stock zip on your sd card just in case. But as I said before, It doesn't help if you cant get into recovery. But when you can it can be a life saver.
I do remember reading there are permission issues if you're running windows 8 or 8.1 on that last method I linked you to. You may want to look into how to overcome that issue and try again. If you haven't already that is.
Hmm at least it says e980 now but can't get past this

Hello, i hope there is someone that can help me with this problem i have.
I rooted and used cm12 sometime in the begining og 2015, then i unified the phone and used another rom(dont remember what), but it crashed sometime last summer and went black.
And after i have had it i started reading and found some posts and figured out i could try to get life in it befor cristhmas, and i found this: community.oppo.com/en/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=23067&extra=&page=1[/url]
And i found a computer with win 7 on, and i got the phone back to life, but the rom stopped at language or region settings at installing.
and the i tried using nameless-recovery-twrp-2.8.7.0-find7-20151220 and the rom will start up, but i dont have wifi, radio or IMEI.
And i found someone that gave me oneplus.qcn this file, but i cant get my phone in to diagnostic mode, becouse the code *#801# is not working on my phone(Only *#06# is working).
I have tried different roms and recovery, but onlu namless rom is working in that way that i can start a rom (color os 1.4i up to 1,8i) over 1.8 will not start.
So i would be wery happy if there is someone that can help me fix it..
And i apologies for my English, but hopfully it is possible to understand.
Kindly regard

Have you tried reverting back to stock ColorOS rom? Try to flash stock ColorOS 2.0.8i or ColorOS 2.1.5i to your phone. Usually when things go bad, people usually revert back to stock coloros rom and that fixed their problems as it fixed mine before this.
