Hey guys I've been watching this forum for a while now and I need some help.
I searched around and found nothing relevant..
I got the latest kies, finally my sgs connected in kies mode, perfect. Popup for update, okay. Now... The first time i did this it showed me some progress bar which was probably something downloading. After that, the phone simply disconnected. Kies didn't show up anything, just that the phone was no longer linked to kies. The phone still showed the mtp application screen. After a few seconds kies shows 'Connecting...' and recognizes the phone again.
The second time it doesn't even get to the progress bar. When I click update, the phone simply vanishes from the kies screen.
I have not applied any lagfixes or anything, haven't rooted my phone.. Actually a few days ago I made a hard reset and everything is smooth. I just want that froyo already, I'm still running eclair.
Please, if you have a solution post it here, or at least point me in the right direction. I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to phones so.. Any help will be appreciated.
I dont know what to say
U already hard reset the phone.
Check with sgs tools what firmware do you have.
In case you have major issues.
Check the three button combo.
Uninstall kies, hard reset and try again.
Maybe is a usb problem .
How is the mount sd working ?

I had a problem just like this and it turned out to be a faulty USB connection. Try a different lead and USB port on the PC first.
Thanks for your replies guys, but unfortunately I still have a problem.
Reinstalled kies, nothing. Hard reset the phone again. Nothing.
Three button combo working perfectly.
In settings, the firmware seems to be 2.1-update1.
Usb problem, I don't think so. The SD card mode works flawlessly. There's one more thing I noticed. When I plug my phone in kies mode, windows also recognizes the phone, showing it up in my computer. The point is that when kies loses link to the phone, windows still finds the phone to be there, e.g. phone disconnects from kies, but not from windows. That's pretty weird..
You guys have any other suggestions..? What is the risk of flashing my phone manually to 2.2? I wanted to avoid that at all cost.
Kies also does not like the phone to be plugged in via any hub. It is best always to plug direct into a system board USB outlet.
Oh forgot to mention. I was indeed plugging the usb cable into a hub, and tried plugging in directly from the motherboard connectors and still no luck.. No idea what to do next.
Might be worth putting the phone into recovery and going to Tools, Emergency firmware recovery.
Well in the 3-button thingy i only have 'reboot system now', 'apply sdcard:update.zip', 'wipe data/factory reset' and 'wipe cache partition'. Halp plox?
Looks like you are left with two routes .
one take phone to service centre
two flash the phone to upgrade .
If flashing i would go the rom kitchen route .
That is only requiring a USB mass storage mode connection to transfer update file to sd card .
jje
I would try it. What are the risks and what happens if something goes wrong? I read somewhere that if I the 3-button combo is working I have nothing to worry about since I can reflash my phone at any given time. Is that true?
To get into recovery it is Home button. DOWN volume and Power on.
You will see a yellow triangle with "DOWNLOADING" Do not turn off the target. When you have this and have opened Kies just plug the USB in and use the recovery option if you can. As with all flashing there is always a risk so do this if you are prepared to accept this.
I've been doing a bit of research and as I saw around the only way you can mess up your flash is simply by disconnecting the cable when you shouldn't. I never actually saw anyone on different forums that have failed flashing so.. That thing pretty much gave me some courage, like hell..
I found a guide which I think would work:
http://samsunggalaxysforums.com/showthread.php/2921-How-to-use-Odin-to-upgrade-to-Froyo-from-Eclair
Do you think this is okay? Also the guy sais we should check *#1234# for PDA, and mine seems to be I9000XWJFB. He said we 'should be on JM1, JM2, JG1, JF1 etc...'. I assume that my phone falls into that category?
If this guide is erroneous please point me in the right direction, if you could.
hey fellas...
....as the title says, i'm afraid i might have bricked my device!
what happened: assumingly, the battery was too low to perform a firmware flash via flashtool 0.2.9.1 - despite that, i tried it. the result was an abort of the process (error flashing, process aborted)....
....the situation now is that the device won't even boot anymore, it just shortly vibrates, that's it! (i've tried to reflash the uk 184 firmare several times, all resulting in process aborted....windows vista, 64 bit)...it does not matter if i use flashtool 0.2.9.1 or 0.2.9....
what was done to the device before: a successful flash of the uk 184 firmware, a successful unlock of the bootloader (done on a computer running winxp, 32bit)....
...it'd be great if anyone of you guys had some advice, any help is greatly appreciated!
regards,
paddy
EDIT: reflashed generic uk 184 on a windows xp (32bit) computer, everything went smoothly and the deivce is running again! thank you everybody that tried to help!!!!
So you battery is charged? What happens when you plug it in? Does the battery charging icon shows up?
no, nothing shows up....only the battery led keeps blinking, which is kind of strange
Leave it for a few hours and see if it charges. Its possible your battery wont charge, this was a problem with motorola defys and there is a mcgyver workaround but I would say only attempt it if your sure it will fix it and done mind blowing up your phone if it goes wrong. So basically only as a very last resort
have you tries SEUS?
thanks for replies so far....nope, i haven't tried seus yet, i'll do that right now.....despite that, i did try pc companion to "repair" the phone, which actually resulted in pcc telling me it is not able to do anything since the phone is running a modified firmware
edit: seus won't workt either, "firmware is not supported"
Try turning off holding the menu and back button starting up seus with the usb already plugged in. When detects phone let go of menu button but keep the back button held until it says let go is the boot loader unlocked. I believe its impossible to brick if its not
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
if possible get the battery charged from some other device or external charger...
and then try flashing via flashtool again..
this is weird....just tried it on a win7 computer, doesn't work either, flashing gets aborted immediately...even stranger is the fact that i've just let the device chrage for 45 minutes, still, the led just blinks in flashmode color, won't turn on at all and just shortly vibrates....fastboot recognizes the device though

have u been using the testing recovery files that were posted?
no, i haven't used them
when i connect it via usb, it seems to get stuck in flashmode

hm... ok so the chargemon is not changed....
i dont know if fastboot can flash system.img / boot.img even at low battery...
still i would recommend u try to get the battery charged externally then try normal flashing via flashtool...
so you'd say it's probably the battery causing the problems? mh, okay, i'll see if i can find a way to charge it externally....hopefully the brick is reversible
Hey guys, looking for some assistance here as I am at a complete loss.
Decided tonight to root my 4.2.2 Nexus 10 using the Nexus Rootkit v1.6.3 and the aid of a YouTube video. All went swimmingly up until the TWRP wipe. The video I followed failed the wipe attempt and the guy showed how to get the N10 out of the bootloop and do a 'wipe data/factory reset' via Recovery Mode in the Bootloader and then restart.
Problem is, my wipe never failed like his did in the video (great I thought!) and so I restarted after that and now I find my N10 booting up to the Google Logo (with the padlock at the bottom) and it just sits there. Doesn't even get to the 'X' logo which should come after.
I've tried a few things including the manual wipe data/factory reset from the bootloader and restart but everytime it gets stuck at the Google Logo. I am also now at the point where my N10 doesn't show in Device Manager as it did before. It now shows under 'Portable Devices' as a 'MTP USB Device'.
I am really at a loss here and searching various solutions is just confusing me even more and would appreciate it if someone could help me out, even just getting back to stock for now. That's if it isn't goosed?
Thanks in advance
Have you tried using a different usb port on the PC, and rebooting the PC?

I have yeah. Left my PC off overnight and went back to it again this morning and same issue.
Plug it into the PC (this time using a USB port on the back) and it initially comes up 'installing device driver software' quickly followed by 'device driver software was not installed successfully', quickly followed by 'installing device driver software' again and that's when it shows up in Device Manager as 'MTP USB Device' under Portable Devices, whereas before during the root attempt it was show as 'Nexus 10'.
When I first read the subject line I thought it was "another one of these" where OP hadn't searched on the existing boards. But when I read OP I see you did try "the usual suggestions". Hoping a more seasoned pro jumps in here to help...
I can say that on the handful of "really bad" posts like this that I've seen they usually end with the person saying something like "well I don't know what happened I just kept trying all the power button / charge recommendations and finally it worked" - so don't underestimate the effectiveness of repeatedly trying it like a mad man!
Some random suggestions I have that may help:
-Can you leave it on, on the Google screen, to where the battery 100% drains, maybe this could act as a "battery pull"
-Try a different USB cord
-Try rebooting it via the power buttons while the device is plugged into the wall charger
-Download the Android SDK, then use its "update manager" to update its USB drivers to today's definitions
-Try another PC
Good luck!
Thanks for the suggestions bigmatty, I'll certainly give them a go when I get in later.
I think my biggest concern is that there doesn't seem to be any OS on it, possibly to do with the wipe during TWRP and then I rebooted - was I supposed to reboot at that stage? That's where I got into this loop. And now it doesn't detect it as 'Nexus 10' in my Device Manager on my main PC. Only this MTP USB Device - sometimes showing a conflict warning triangle, sometimes not and no longer showing as a storage device in My Computer.
I did connect it to my Netbook (Running XP) earlier and it detected it as an 'Android Device' under Other Devices in Device Manager. Tried installing it with the naked drivers on the Android SDK and it now lists it under 'Android Device' in my Netbook's Device Manager as a 'ADB Device' (I think, would need to double check as I'm not on it at the moment.)
I just want to find some way of getting it back to factory settings and stock OS if possible and then take it from there again. Don't fancy at £319 paperweight! I'm usually alright with these things too.
Thanks again (And if anybody else has any other input in the meantime I would be grateful - I'll try anything at this stage!)
I'd say its a good thing that the PC exhibits varying behavior - because that means there is still hope!
It really boils down to if you can open an adb.exe shell to the device. Can you? It would not be when its showing as MTP but it would be when its showing as adb in Device Manager. If you can then here is a thread where I explain (pretty good, I think) how to get back to stock:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185123
Now I realize Im not clear on a second avenue - can you still get into TWRP?

Can't really get into much on the Tablet itself. It boots up, gets to the Google logo (with the padlock symbol at the bottom suggest it has been partially rooted (?)). I can get into the Bootloader by holding down the Power + 2 vol buttons. Once in the Bootloader I have the options of Start/Power Off/Recovery Mode/Restart Bootloader.
When I go into Recovery Mode I can get access to the blue menu where I get the options to restart/something about adb/wipe data/factory reset/delete cache partition (paraphrasing here).
Don't know how many times I've tried the wipe data/factory reset option and reboot but always get sent back to the same loop.
I'll give you're other idea a shot as well later. Thanks again.

bigmatty, you the man!
Managed to get back to factory stock following yours and styckx's guidelines. Couple of little teething problems along the way but nothing I couldn't get around.
I now have a fully functioning Tablet again and I thank you for it.
Might give the Rooting a miss for now but if I come back around to the idea I'll be sure to follow the guides on here this time instead.
Thanks a bunch again for taking your time out to reply to my thread and get me back up and running again. :good:

Hi all,
I have a serious problem with my G2 which I could not solve: I used the new LG Flash Tool 2014 with stock KDZ file, everything was going just fine till I received an error message that LG server is not available, I disconnected the USB cable by mistake from my G2 and afterward I saw that it was in the middle of flashing process (12% was completed). I turned it off and tried to reach download mode again and nothing!, I'm receiving the "LG" logo and nothing- the screen goes black (it is still on).
I tried also to connect my phone to the computer- I received a list of 13 "new" local disks "H" to "T", only "H" disk is available and it's showing "image" folder with list of files.
I cannot reach "download mode", nothing is working!
I hope this is not the end for my G2..
please help me
Thank you so much!
If you could receive all those hard disks then you could maybe fix it with linux/ubuntu if you have it. Search for guides to cOpy the neccesary stuff bacK like the bootloader. I can't really help you atm as i am too sleepy.

Thank you for your reply. I found this on the sticky threads: "[FIX] NO Recovery mode, No download mode, after OTA on rooted LG G2".
I installed ubuntu and followed the instructions. when I type the following: "gdisk -l /dev/sde" I receive an error message:
"GPT fdisk (gdisk) version 0.5.1
NOTE: Write test failed with error number 13. It will be impossible to save
changes to this disk's partition table!
Problem opening /dev/sde for reading! Error is 13
You must run this program as root or use sudo!"
My device is not rooted, is this the problem?
Please help me!!
Thanks
@NNCa It says you need to run the program as root on ubuntu.
Just use sudo in front of the commands.
You need to type once your password to use sudo, you can't see the password if you enter it for safety I guess but just click enter after you typed ykur password.

Hi,
I powered off my phone by pressing volume down + power for a while ("LG" logo blinked once and phone was fully powered off).
I pushed volume down + power till I saw the LG logo, released it, and pushed again- and finally I reached the Factory Hard Reset screen. I have pushed 3 times the power, and I have got "Factory reset processing..." and nothing is appeared, even when I'm pushing several times on power again.
I guess this is the end of my G2 :crying:
Thank you all for your support, this is an excellent forum!:good::good:

Nope it isn't the end try to install the recovery again or try to push the custom twrp recovery again to the right partition! Dont give up that fast when i hear your things then its still fixable! you already got the factory reset processing so try to Push the Recovery again and search for an guide about recovery maybe Then you would probably get your device fixed.
Just read my things about simplicity so think easy and you can fix it. AND STAY POSITIVE You will repair your phone today :good:

Maybe I did a mistake when trying to push those image files.. I guess there is nothing I can do to fix my phone..
Do you have any other suggestions?
Can someone please help me. How can I get to the LG device- Is there another software I can use to flash files into this device?
Thanks

Sorry for late reaction but i needed to think of something. Did you tryed to use another cable? Did you tryed to do it on another pc? Did you tryed to maybe install LG PC suite and see if it gets recognized? If you have the PC Suite you may need to turn it off in the LG flashtool idk. Can you tell us more like which windows you have?

Hi,
I tried all you suggested, however my devide is not recognized. I tried to use the LG PC Suite and to flash by IMEI, however it is still saying that no device was connected.. I checked windows device manager, and nothing changed there.
There is any chnage I can see my connected device? use some tool or another software?
Thank you again for your patience and help!

Hi, sorry to say but you have unfortunately completely hardbricked your device. It happened to me too however I was able to get it replaced under warranty at no extra cost.
What happened was that when your phone was still detected by linux, you had a chance to recover by flashing the correct partitions to gain access to download mode and from there, flash a KDZ to go back to complete stock. However, the files you used were probably incompatible with your variant which has now corrupted your bootloader sequence. I suggest you read this reply by fizzy177 as well as the rest of the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51522304&postcount=118
So right now, you cannot do anything as you have already found out, no computer will recognise that your phone is plugged in. Your phone fails to boot when you try enter the download mode and it just freezes on the splash screen which looks like this: http://www.lg-phones.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/image2.png
What's meant to happen is your phone should load past that initial splash screen into this http://www.androiddunya.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/LG-G2-DownloadMode.jpg which accepts KDZ flashing and warns the device has been rooted.
So it's a blessing that your phone cannot boot as LG cannot find out you have voided warranty and you will be able to get a replacement free of charge.
Issue was solved- device was fixed under warranty
Hi,
I just want to update you all that my device was fixed under warranty! (motherboard replacement)
Thank you all for help and great support, this is a great forum with great community :good::good:
Hello
From past 2 weeks i am wondering on internet for a solution . Hours and hours of surfing and articles but still
Hope some one solve this issue.
Okay. First i m using LG G2 F320 K update to lollipop . Non rooted. It was working fine . I can transfer files in MTP .
But about a month ago i get an update for my phone . And after some days i need to transfer some files to my phone , i wonder when i connected my phone to computer nothing happened . No notification on mobile for changing PTP MTP option . Also nothing happened in Computer device manager..
From that day i am unable to connect my phone with windows 10. It always charging mobile.
I uninstalled all drivers in device manager and installed from LG website. I updates windows N and NK MTP update from windows for windows 10.
I changed different data cables and different computers and different ports . All stuff i can do. Still no luck.
When ever i plug USB data cable it always put my Mobile on Charging . No notification on Mobile. Also i go in setting > storage> and there is no option in upper right corner to select USB PC connection .
I am in developer mode and debugging mode is on also. Also USB tethering option is Disabled .
Kindly some one help me regarding this.
LG G2 F320K updated to stock Koren lollipop 5.0.1 . Non root.( i updated lollipop in April 2015)
Issue i am facing is no notification for Charging/ MTP/PTP Usb Debugging on mobile notice bar when i attach my phone using USB cord with computer. Also in computer device manager nothing happen. Even i checked on windows 10 , 8.1, 8, 7 .
I remember it was working like charm 4 weeks before I can change MTP PTP or Charge only mode by selecting notification when i attach it to my laptop. I can transfer files can use LG PC suit .
Then i received an software update like 40 mb and i updated my mobile. That i remembered.
After that 2 weeks before i need to transfer some books from laptop to my mobile. When i plugged my device there no notification to select MTP mode . Also there is nothing happened in my windows 10. I looked in task manager. No yellow icon in computer task manager for driver thing.
Laptop is just silent and mobile is just on charging .
Then i go to setting in LG and looked for USB PC connection settings. I wonder there is nothing . Settings > storage > 3 dot in upper right corner.. it suppose to be there . But here is no 3 dot in storage. Then i looked into share and networks in android setting and i found that USB tethering. But its faded mean it is disabled and i am unable to use this feature also.
I tried on different computers different cables , original, but nothing. Always when i plug usb mobile went on charging and in all computers nothing happen in device manager.
USB debugging is on.. I factory reset device 2 times. but useless. Also i uninstall all drivers from my laptop and then reinstall drivers from LG website also i tried google drivers , ABD, different ports. Nothing nothing happen.
Also now if i try put mobile on download mode by turning device off and then push + vol button and then put cord in mobile . No download mode also it went on charging. Well charging from laptop or from charger is okay.
Hope i explain all.
Ok, so to start off I'm very familiar with Nexus Root Toolkit an its many graceful features & its ablity to bring the N7 from the brink of destruction (Soft -Brick) "AS LONG AS YOUR PC CAN DETECT THE DEVICE".
Here's the issue.. I was in TWRP (Multi-ROM) just renaming 1 of the Secondary ROMs to more friendly names, I hadn't done any flashing of any zips or roms for a few boots, I just booted into Recovery to do some renaming of Secondary ROMs that I had installed a few nights before but I had been in an out of several different one's just making sure they were all working so anyway.. after I was done renaming, I reboot the system & it just went F'ing blank.. now nothing.. there's no back light, no bootlogo, nothing happens at all when I plug in the charging or hold the power button with or w/out the vol-+ keys, I've checked the battery connection, it was snug but I removed it over night.. still nothing, I'm just clueless.. Before we jump on the NRT do a factory wipe & restore, when I plug it into Windows it instantly pops up with the "Device has Malfunctioned" not the "installing adb drivers" or anything like it has so many times before.. either Im over thinking this an the answer is so simple Im blinded by rage over how much this p1sses me off that it was working fine one moment an then just reboots to blank nothingness.. even if I take the battery out an try plugging it directing into the pc via the OEM usb cable it gives the same error with or w/o the battery in .. the toolkit cant even see it cause windows cant establish what the hell it is.. And yes I've tried installing every android driver possible.. the N7 was primarily for my wife to read e-books on.. so i rarely played with it.. an it was new sealed in the box just bought last year around this time so i can't believe the Flash Memory is shot already, if anyone could throw me their 2 cents it would be greatly appreciated , this is so frustrating but I think its BRICKED.. or at least some tiny flash chip is toast..
its the - N7 2012 Grouper WIFI Only model -
p.s. I apologize for the slight harsh tone, I'm just upset with this issue.. I got this particular tablet with the knowledge an understanding that it was the (almost) un-brickable tablet, yet I managed to do it.. If by some chance I get it to fire up, I will definitely let ya know.. But I have read alot of posts an my guess is somehow I managed to mess up the nvflash an now the memory chip or something is corrupt beyond a NRT Factory reset.. but again it was at almost full battery when i rebooted from within the TWRP Menus & I wasn't flashing anything previous to me being in my Main Rom which was stock rooted 4.4.4 de-bloated, playing a game called Empire 4 Kingdoms for like a 1/2 (just getting my daily's) before i decided to check out my Secondary Roms an rename a few because I wanted to started playing around with them to test how the same game played on different flavors or Android..

I was in TWRP (Multi-ROM) just renaming 1 of the Secondary ROMs to more friendly names, I hadn't done any flashing of any zips or roms for a few boots, I just booted into Recovery to do some renaming of Secondary ROMs that I had installed a few nights before but I had been in an out of several different one's just making sure they were all working so anyway.. after I was done renaming, I reboot the system & it just went F'ing blank.. now nothing.. there's no back light, no bootlogo, nothing happens at all when I plug in the charging or hold the power button with or w/out the vol-+ keys, I've checked the battery connection, it was snug but I removed it over night.. still nothing, I'm just clueless.. Before we jump on the NRT do a factory wipe & restore, when I plug it into Windows it instantly pops up with the "Device has Malfunctioned" not the "installing adb drivers" or anything like it has so many times before.. either Im over thinking this an the answer is so simple Im blinded by rage over how much this p1sses me off that it was working fine one moment an then just reboots to blank nothingness.. even if I take the battery out an try plugging it directing into the pc via the OEM usb cable it gives the same error with or w/o the battery in .. the toolkit cant even see it cause windows cant establish what the hell it is.. And yes I've tried installing every android driver possible.. the N7 was primarily for my wife to read e-books on.. so i rarely played with it.. an it was new sealed in the box just bought last year around this time so i can't believe the Flash Memory is shot already, if anyone could throw me their 2 cents it would be greatly appreciated , this is so frustrating but I think its BRICKED.. or at least some tiny flash chip is toast..
its the - N7 2012 Grouper WIFI Only model -
p.s. I apologize for the slight harsh tone, I'm just upset with this issue.. I got this particular tablet with the knowledge an understanding that it was the (almost) un-brickable tablet, yet I managed to do it.. If by some chance I get it to fire up, I will definitely let ya know.. But I have read alot of posts an my guess is somehow I managed to mess up the nvflash an now the memory chip or something is corrupt beyond a NRT Factory reset.. but again it was at almost full battery when i rebooted from within the TWRP Menus & I wasn't flashing anything previous to me being in my Main Rom which was stock rooted 4.4.4 de-bloated, playing a game called Empire 4 Kingdoms for like a 1/2 (just getting my daily's) before i decided to check out my Secondary Roms an rename a few because I wanted to started playing around with them to test how the same game played on different flavors or Android..

UPDATE STATUS - If I plug it into the pc without the battery i get a windows driver install box that says "Installing APX..." does this indicate the NVFlash is corrupt or is there a way to get out of apx mode.. im not familiar with that mode .. only ADB & fastboot..
Update 2 - After reading lots, I've come to conclude its hardbricked, must have had an error in memory or whatever.. its stuck in APX mode so im going to replace the whole MB with a working 32GB [model me370t] & start over .. maybe ill not install so many ROMS via multirom.. just a few - THREAD BE CLOSED - I'm done here, good luck to anyone with similar results
