Hi, I've just registered in this forum, though I've been reading you guys for almost a year. I just want to say that you guys are awesome, i've learned too much about android because of you.
Introduction
Said that, I recently had a problem with my P350g, I'll try to be as clear as possible hoping you can help me out.
The problem came after i installed CM 9 [stable 8] on it, at first it worked perfectly (a very few panics or reboots but i'm used to it :laugh. The next day after taking a photograph the cellphone got stuck, it had done that several times before with some other ROMs so i didn't pay much attention to it, so i took the battery off and put it again, and when I tried to turn it on, there it was, the lg logo with the 4 softkeys blinking.
-- It doesn't enter to recovery (i had recovery installed at that time) pressing [- power send] at the same time, it just stays there with the lg logo blinking.
-- It does enter to the emergency mode (yellow background with "emergency mode" in black letters) pressing [+ - power] at the same time.
-- It does enter to the fastboot mode pressing [+ power send] at the same time.
what i've already tryed:
--- i've read the wiki about this phone and try everything there (and everything found on google which is pretty much the same)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_Me
--- i've tryed using the KDZ updater as somebody on this forum recommended:
http://multidroid2.feed.nu/2012/03/27/how-to-unbrickflash-your-optimus-melg-p350-2/
using firmware from here:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=5
and from somewhere else on the internet, the problem here is, that when it comes to "restart the phone", it doesn't start, it just keeps getting stuck on the lg logo with the 4 softkeys blinking, after some time the KDZ updater shows an error: Upgrade Error WParam: 100 LParam: 6
--- i've tryed flashing the recovery from fastboot mode as shown on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131247
it flashes well, everything "succeeded" but whe it comes to reboot (flashboot reboot) the cellphone says on the screen rebooting cellphone (or something like that) but it never reboots. if I take the battery off and put it on again, and then try to turn it on, the cellphone shows at the same problem, the lg logo with 4 softkeys blinking.
--- I've also tryed this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948326
it hasn't solved my problem either.
Computers' info
I've tried this on 2 computers:
windows 7 x86
windows 8 x64
both of them have the drivers installed, I've disabled the modem on both of them, both of them have the latest android SDK tools
both computers give me the same problems, please i need your help, i'm desperate, I've been with this problem for several days and I can't solve it. I hope you can help me out
bump!
Anybody? please, i'm desperate
Hi,
Let's hope for the good
Try to flash the rom with fastboot.
and did you overclocked it too high? maybe your nand is burned?

thanks for answering, yes i did overclock it really high ~804MHz can't remember the exact number, but with other roms it had been working at that level of overclock without any problems (besides the casual panics and reboots) for more than half a year.
i'm going to try flashing the rom from flashboot and see what happens
I couldn't fash a rom via fastboot

Hi everybody, i tried to flash a zip containing the rom on my p350, though i could not flash it. i used the command:
fastboot flash system rom.zip
but it says the file/rom size was smaller than expected. (honestly i can't remember the actual sentence) and then it says (x < y) where x is the suposed size of the rom and y is the expected size.
i tried with several roms, and a backup a user uploaded somewhere which was suposedly legitimate.
Is there something i can do?
download lg mobile support tool (lg mobile updater)
make sure that the driver is installed on the computer
open it
let it reconize the phone then
click recover phone from CS
the phone will be returned to latest stock rom for your country
then intsall recvoery again and root again
My Method
Well you need usb debugging enabled.Remove phone's batytery and connect it to pc via usb.It will boot up (horribly of course ignore it).Then fire up the kdz updater and start the flashing process.Once the phocess starts midway anywhere in the process insert the battery.The process will complete then KDZ will sat update complete...REBOOTING....and as battery is inserted it will reboot.Voila.Hope it works for you.This is my routine method.(Bricked more than 7 times lol).
Thanks for replying

Hi All!
I've checked all similar threads but I haven't found any solution to my problem, hence this post.
I was trying to root Samsung Note 2 and install Cyanogenmod but rooting failed
The current problem:
1. Samsung Note 2 has ended up in a bootloop after failed rooting
2. I can't boot the phone in the Recovery Mode
3. The USB Debugging Mode was not activated
4. I can't turn on the phone
Description:
I was trying to root my friend's Samsung Note 2 using the following method from this website http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291827
- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)
- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one
- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer
- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe
- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5
- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)
- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer
- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked
- Click the Start button
- Wait for Android to boot
- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

The problem is that by mistake I used a wrong CF-Auto-Root... file and instead of this file CF-Auto-Root-t03g-t03gxx-gtn7100.zip which was designed for Samsung Note 2 I used a file which I was using before for my own phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.zip
Result 1: The rooting process got frozen and I had to disconnect the USB cable connecting the phone with the computer.
Result 2: Black screen, I couldn't boot the phone.
Next, I used the same rooting method but with the correct CF-Auto-Root... file.
Result 3: Bootloop. The phone boots up when I press the power button but when I see the first screen with a white "Samsung Note 2" on a black background, the phone reboots again and the process repeats itself for ever.
Result 4: I can't boot the phone in recovery mode. When I press the Volume Up+Power+Home buttons, the phone reboots and keeps rebooting instead of going into recovery mode.
Result 5: The USB Debugging Mode was not activated before rooting. Since I can't turn on the phone I can't activate the mode now. All solutions to my problem that I've seen require having USB Debugging Mode activated.
Could anyone help me and suggest what to do, please?
I don't know much about how mobile phone works but I can follow instructions if I know what to do.
I rooted my own mobile phone and installed Cyanogenmod successfully. I wanted to do the same with my friend's phone who was fed up with bloated and slow manufacturer's firmware.
I hope you can help me. Thank you.
I really don't know why so many users try to root before flashing a custom rom -> it is simply useless and as shown in this example dangerous, when a false root method or file is chosen.
You need:
1. Custom recovery, flash through ODIN, I think latest TWRP will do the job
2. Flash your desired custom rom through above recovery, (if needed: GApps also)
3. Flash SuperSu if needed (read in OP of that rom) done
If number 1 won't work, you got to flash firmware from sammobile first using ODIN
and then take steps 1, 2, 3

Hi AndroidWizzard!
Thank you very much for your quick reply.
I've done everything as you advised me to and... it worked!
Firstly, I installed TWRP, I wiped all files on the phone, downloaded Cyanogenmod to external SD card, installed Cyanogenmod through TWRP and all done! I also installed the minimum version of Gapps and it's all I need.
Thank you SO much for your help. twdeim which

As I said, everything I mentioned before went fine but there is one problem. The system doesn't detect the network as if the SIM card wasn't inserted. I double checked everything and I have no idea what that is.
I installed CyanogenMod version 11-20140715-NIGHTLY-n7100 with android version4.4.4.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
Many thanks!

The problem originated from the fact that my IMEI got lost somewhere during failed rooting/flashing. I've flashed with the stock firmware which retrieved my IMEI and the phone connected to the network as usual. After the phone was brought back to the fully operational state, I used CyanogenMod installer for Mac and I successfully installed CM, and it works like a dream.
I hope it will help. Good luck!

I understand that you are asking if there is a CyanogenMod installer for Windows. Yes, there is, particularly for Windows http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/install
Just copy of my posts in another thread as this one is more relevant to my problem I think:
Good afternoon gents and girls, I have a bit strange problem wonder if anyone can get a bit of light on it. My Mrs's GT-7100 one day was stuck on boot up screen. I thought is was corrupt tried to do factory reset. Didn't work out read about is decided to flash it with a different official ROM for that installed twrp-3.0.2-0-t03g.img.tar and was trying to do a lot of different things within TWRP mode. As I'm not familiar with flashing process I guess didn't do it properly BUT! While doing it all over sudden I realised that the phone is actually working while connected to external power it shows charge and goes upto 100% but as as soon as it disconnected from main power source it starts to reboot constantly again stuck at the same boot screen again, till reconnected to power source again, then goes in to fool boot and functions properly making and receiving phone calls. The charge shown on the battery drops from 100% to 4-7% in a matter of the boot up time which is say 5-10 seconds.
Tested by multimeter battery shows 4.32V. I can't test battery under load, but will endeavor to do so by a test light. I have a bit strange problem wonder if anyone can get a bit of light on it.
So any thoughts?
I suspect the battery is not the issue. I have 2 external banks which are holding the charge to keep running Galaxy 3 8.0 up to 2-3 hours in use. Both of them are 5.2V 1A and having GT-7100 connected to them doesn't help to boot up the phone. Olso 5V 0,5A charger of Bluebery either, only Samsung 2A charger gets the GT-7100 back to fanctioning mode. When phone is booted up it shows
The ROM Version it is N7100XXUFND3,
Kernel version 3.0.31-152758,
Build number
KOT49H.N7100XXSFQA1
SE for Android status
enforcing

Hi there. I tried to update my Elephone P8000 but to no avail – my phone stuck in a boot loop and I couldn’t use it at all.
I noticed it had happened to more people online so I tried one of their fixes of flashing the stock ROM...which didn’t work.
I have downloaded all drivers, followed every tutorial step by step but nothing! And now instead of being stuck in a boot loop my phone won’t turn on at all.
My PC still recognises the phone which I guess is good, except I still cannot flash the stock ROM.
It gets past the red bar and the purple bar but then gets stuck at Download Flash 0%
Is there anything else I could possibly try as I’m all out of ideas and I really love this phone!
Thank you!
Try again using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p8000/help/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3334698
It is just the same exact thing that happened to me. I would thank any help.

Your going to need to flash a Rom to fix it. Follow steps in the guide I linked above to flash.
Updates will brick these phones if they are rooted.

The number 7 key. If you're using keypad and numlock is off you will be pressing curser left. If you're using a laptop with a monitor attached to it the monitor will be black and the display will be on the laptop screen.
Other methods, try here http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/open-advanced-startup-options-windows-8.htm
Posting in case someone has the same problems as me.
I finally could do it with flashtool and some generic drivers I found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/5ff6s5bk1couva9/Compelte+USB+Drivers+PDanet+Adb+Installer.rar
These drivers are signed, so I could install them without issues.
I have installed a custom recovery and a custom rom (nexus).
However, thank you very much, thundermuppet.
So I was using my phone normally yesterday, until it shuts down randomly while using the camera. So I restarted it, but it still restarted as I got to my home screen. So I said to myself that there must be something went wrong in the rom that I am using (which is LOS 14.1), but I've got a backup before **** happened, not to worry, after I restored it though, IT STILL RESTARTED, but the weird part is, It doesn't restart if it is charging. So I wondered maybe the battery has given up, but in the TWRP, it doesn't restart even unplugged?
Things that I had tried:
1. Tried a new rom (this time using BORETS ROM), still restarts when unplugged.
2. Ran the backup again, still no change.
3.Drained my battery in TWRP, charged it up to 100%, still restarts.
Also, when I boot up my phone without a USB cable plugged in, It restarts when loading the main rom (the rom's splash screen, not the main splash screen), PLEASE HELP ME.

The problem just seems very weird to be a hardware problem , So, again, after charging my phone up to 100 percent, booted it up to Android and then unplugged it, and I had about a minute of activity now before it shuts down. Again in recovery or boot loader, it never shuts down.
Do me a favour , test with cable attached to phone but detached from charger to rule out USB socket , cable etc:good:

If its out of warranty , i would first check all connections inside phone ,
it could be battery
it could be main board or usb board.
If it were battery though , it should shut down connected to lower amp pc usb2.
Not much you can do really apart from above, usb boards are cheap`sh to buy, maybe worth the gamble ? Obviously if connections dont fix before ditching if main board. Try a discon of all connections and reconnect before ditching
I have the EXACTLY same problem.

Hi guys,
I attached my brand new Galaxy S20 Ultra to my PC and started Smart Switch today. The Software showed an update for my device so I downloaded it and started the update process. Unfortunately, Smart Switch got stuck during the update process at 68%. Nothing happened, cables and all still attached. It just didn't proceed any further for hours.
I decided to take the path of stopping the process, using the key combination shown on my device. It now said, recover your device software with Smart Switch Emergency recovery function. I started this and guess what: it also stopped at 68%.
I "rebooted" the device (volume down + power for approx. 10 seconds) and it starts again in recovery mode.
I manually filled in the recovery code and it seemed like Smart Switch was downloading the OS again. Started the recovery process and it is stuck at 68% again.
Now I am just super afraid that I bricked the device by using Samsungs original software.
Anyone her to help or have similar experiences?
Thanks for any advice on how to proceed.
Julius
What exactly were you trying to do? I mean normally you hook up old phone and use smart switch to update new phone. So why was you connected to a PC? It does sound like you bricked it.
So now you probably need to flash the ROM.
I read that smart switch is a good and valid source to check for updates. I never thought that an official Samsung software can be so bad at something so basic, resulting in bricking my phone...
Stop using smart switch to update your phone. You haven't hard bricked it because you still have recovery. It's called a soft brick. Download Odin 13.3_3B from here on xda. Do not use the 13.4 because it's suspected to have a fishy call back to a server from a dll that's in the program folder. Download the atch firmware for your model from sammobile or get it in this s20 ultra forum. You should be able to flash the new firmware.
Thanks @freebee269. Does flashing the firmware with Odin void my warranty or does this only count for rooting devices? (Sorry for stupid questions)

Odin uses official firmware from Samsung so no warranty voided.

Try again using a USB 2.0 port, Samsung always had problems with it's software and USB 3.0 ports.
Use USB 2.0 and try again.

...An error as occurred while updating the software. Use the Emergency Recovery function in the Smart Switch PC software. ...
Like i sad, i have no code!!!
I am able to get to the device unlock choice screen and if i choose to restart, my device always boots to the Smart Switch Emergency Code screen?! If i choose the device unlock or download screens, both screens are accessible! Tried to flash my original firmware (BTU-T515XXU3ASK5-20191224095700) using Odin3_v3.14.1 and twrp-3.3.1-6-T515XXU3ASK5-20200215 with no joy (Fail!)
Although i'm totally @"#$%* off about this, as its a new device, i am also curious if someone has ever cracked this... 'Smart Switch No Code' problem before. Hmm...
Anyways, any help appriciated...
Oh! Cannot access recovery at all...
Any help appriciated.

Hi guys, i have a similar problem as (xReem).
Attached my GT SM-T515/10.1 tab to smart switch where the software was unable to recognise my device!? Was advised to use the Emergency Code function but i have no code due to backing up my data to sd card! I have Magisk and TWRP installed where my device was working beforehand, but since attaching to smart switch, my device is now totally "dysfunctional"!!!

Did you ever get things working ? If not, when you flashed with Odin - did you use the PATCHED Version ? THis is necessary when flashing firmware via Odin on the S20 Ultra.....
You can download Odin 3.14.1_3b here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572
Be sure to download the PATCHED version of 3.14.1_3b (it is located as an attached file at the bottom of the first post in the OP at the link above. Hope this helps.

No, to answer your first question, and yes used the patched version of Odin you state but with no joy.
(would another version of Odin be better for my device model?)
I just need to find a way to flash the original stock recovery. Having the TWRP installed as mentioned earlier is blocking my path, and I have now tripped knox! So no more options available to access the unlock oem screen. Now frp is off, oem is on!
Also, I was wondering if anyone had thought about a totally updated version of the old "ALL IN ONE TOOL" which was available for some earlier makes of phone devices? I think due to manufacturers security upgrades of today's phones we could all do with something like this?
I heard you can do a NAND/Reset wipe via the Odin options screen which would allow you to install a new rom???
Oh, my predicament was based on Julius's post, not xReem. Sorry for the confusion.

Sorry for your troubles - wish I could help you but you have done everything I would have tried. Maybe, if you haven't already done this - leave the phone on until the battery runs out completely. Then, recharge the phone for a while so the battery has some juice again and then get the phone back into download mode by pressing volume up and volume down at the same time - then plug in the USB - it shoul.d launch into download mode again - then try flashing again with the patched odin.
If you have already done this - then I don't know how what else to suggest.
I wish you luck and hope you are able to get things working again.

Hi guys,
I attached my brand new Galaxy S20 Ultra to my PC and started Smart Switch today. The Software showed an update for my device so I downloaded it and started the update process. Unfortunately, Smart Switch got stuck during the update process at 68%. Nothing happened, cables and all still attached. It just didn't proceed any further for hours.
I decided to take the path of stopping the process, using the key combination shown on my device. It now said, recover your device software with Smart Switch Emergency recovery function. I started this and guess what: it also stopped at 68%.
I "rebooted" the device (volume down + power for approx. 10 seconds) and it starts again in recovery mode.
I manually filled in the recovery code and it seemed like Smart Switch was downloading the OS again. Started the recovery process and it is stuck at 68% again.
Now I am just super afraid that I bricked the device by using Samsungs original software.
Anyone her to help or have similar experiences?
Thanks for any advice on how to proceed.
Julius

Hey Julius, did you get your phone to work. I am having the same issue.
Update:
I am good now. I was using the thunderbolt cable that came with the phone and update would get stuck at the same point everything with odin 3.13 and 3.14.
I used a USB 3 to thunderbolt cable that I had from an older phone and it work.
What I used:
Windows 10 x64 1909
USB 3 to thunderbolt cable
USB driver downloaded from Samsung support. I think it is the same driver that comes with smart switch because when I installed it, it prompted
to reinstall driver.
Odin3 v3.13.3_3B_PatcheD from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/patched-odin-3-13-1-t3762572. ( I think 3.14 will work too.
I really think the cable was the only problem)
Firmware downloaded with SamFirm

Open Odin as administrator and if using a stock AP file always use the HOME-CSC of the same firmware in CSC slot. Sometimes Odin plays the fool and gets stuck.

Wow! This nearly worked!!!
Managed to get a (((PASS))) on Odin and my tab actually rebooted into the Samsung logo!!!
Soon after this though tab immediately Boots back into download mode??? Tried the same steps but without any progress???
I feel I'm close to cracking this but need some more advice on how to build on such "progress"!?
Many thanks for your advice...

Try with all slots filled but with CSC file not HOME-CSC. That may help as it flashes pit file to factory reset

(((SUCCESS)))!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Done what you suggested by waiting until my battery ran out!
I downloaded a different software version and as soon as I plugged my tab into my PC with USB, i flashed the new software with no problems!!!
Flashed TWRP, Magisk and Multidisabler problemless the same!
The lesson learnt here...
...(ONLY FOR THOSE WHO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING)...
...is to probably only have 30% battery when flashing!!! This way you won't have to wait weeks for such a large capacity battery to run down, like I did!
I knew I'd crack it!
