I k ow my computer had probably with certain USB ports don't know if that's your prob but that personally took me a while to figure out and I was pissed like no other

Once you have sdk installed, if you're having trouble connecting your phone to your computer, get "adb wireless" from the market and you can connect that way leaving no need for the usb cable. All you need is your phones wi-fi turned on and a know how of adb.

You have to have a router too. A way that both the computer and phone can connect.

Odin is a samsung-only application but yeh, there should be ways to attain root without adb (most likely via recovery).

What about hiemdell??? The other version for ppl who can't use Odin ..idk to much about it tho

Same with Heimdall I believe as it was meant to be an implementation of Odin. I'm not too sure as to whether the Nexus 7 has a 'Download Mode', if it does, somebody might write an equivalent tool to use it.
Why bother with Odin or Heimdall when there's fastboot anyway ? I find fastboot to be much easier to use and it hasn't got that much of a learning curve.

The tool in that thread actually uses the ADB to perform all of it's actions, I would suggest install ADB, get the drivers working and test with "adb devices" that the drivers are working and the devices is visible and then run that tool to streamline the rest of the process for you.
I would always recommend having the ability to use ADB, especially when you're tinkering, it's always best to make sure ADB works in-case you need to perform any other tasks for the case that something goes wrong.

A fastboot only method is available on modaco complete with a batch file to do all the hard work. Think you will still need to unlock the boot loader first though.

[Q] GT540 stuck on android screen HELP!!

Hi guy's
I have a few questions I'm really hoping someone could help or point me in the right direction..
I have looked for answers for a couple of days now when I had some free time but haven't found anything.
1. My brother's GT5-40 OPTIMUS is stuck on the android screen. Prior to it happening it was sitting idle. Would a hard reset fix this?
2. He would like to upgrade from 2.1 to maybe GB is it possible? And where can I find the correct thread to do this?
3. Is there anything I can do to optimize battery power?
I hate to annoy everyone with my questions but I'm new to this kind of thing I've only just started flashing my xu and exploring these things so don't have much to go on and would be grateful for any help at all.
Thanks for looking.

you don't provide much info , but first, can you get phone connected to pc ? (example in download mode)
if you can then flash from kdz update is possible. (use this tutorial : link , if no go then try different phonemodes in kdz updater)

Hi
I can get into download mode but nothing else. I tried to flash in kdz bit didn't work for me all the modems seem to sit idle. What other info would be helpful? Sorry I'm in unknown territory with this.
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app

It's been over a year since I've used KDZ, but if not mistaken you have to use fastboot (power on while holding camera) with KDZ. If you can get into fb mode you can try to get KDZ to work. If the modems remain idle you may need to reinstall drivers. If you can get to fastboot you can resolve your problem. G'luck

Hi
Can't get into fb mode I did try a few times. I guess I've hit a wall with this.

fb is not visible , it apperas as black screen ,, but you can confirm that with cable connected to usb (in androidsdk : "fastboot devices" )
also, try that method : unplug usb from phone,power off device (eg. battery out, to be sure), put kdz updater ready, and then plug usb cable and immedetly start kdz updateing... (i remember, i've had same problem and then somehow i've got it working with that method)
also try several times.
also, i cant understand why kdz updater doesn't work in download mode , are you sure that u have all drivers installed correctly ? tried several modes in kdz updater ? (cs_emurdiance and etc.)
hani93

I'll give it a try and report back. I really appreciate this. Kdz didn't seem to work I will double check all the drivers etc and see if I've missed something.
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app

So I tried fb mode, nothing like what you describe happens when I attempt to get into fb mode. I double check that all kdz drivers were there -one was missing so when I got that I was intact able to flash the phone, but it made no difference, I get the LG logo on start up then it goes to the android screen and no further. When I try fb mode following your instructions I get the boot up as described above, I tried it a few times but always the same result.

Yes used the French v20b couldn't recover the phone even with that.

Enter the download mode (volume - and power button)and flash the official rom(should be in 7z format)

I tried downloading the official Rom but couldn't get it all the links are not working, well all the ones that I tried. Do you know of any? I'm really grateful of all the help.

with this tutorial I repair my gt540 [ROM][Gingerbread] 2.3.7 | CyanogenMod 7 | SwiftDroid ASIS| Mur4ik after that gets the rom of your choice, Since then I have not stopped trying roms heh, do not fear, it's okay, I encourage

Try my script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856553
See if the device has fastboot on it, try Volume Up+Search+Power or Volume up+Camera+Power (Let go of power when powered up and let go of other buttons when in black screen or if it says 'Fastboot Mode').
You need to install the drivers, look on google.
If there is no fastboot then your only luck is Hyper Terminal and KDZ Updater. (KDZ Updater for flashing and Hyper Terminal for wiping (That is why the device will not boot))
And of course you need to be in download mode (VolDown+Power)

Hyperterminal?? Still having no luck with kdz, I can flash stuff on the phone but it makes little or no difference as it still ends up on the android splash screen.

Yes Hyperterminal, you have to use it to wipe the data has KDZ does not help with it.

Right so use hyperterminal yo wipe the data then go ahead with the rest of it. I will try this method and see what happens, the only other thing is that I can't get into fast boot mode at all, I have tried lots of times and nothing happens, can I safely do this in download mode?

Do you have basic knowledge of ADB and fastboot? If yes, you can download factory images and then flash them in fastboot.

If you can get into the bootloader screen you can use fastboot to restore the factory image to your phone, follow the instruction in the links in my signature. There are probably youtube videos as well that can guide you through the process.

Just Google wug's nexus tool. I think it's version 1.74 or something now. Install it and follow directions. I forget if you need factory images already installed for it to work.
I got out of a similar jam earlier. You may have to flash everything thorough fastboot manually though.

Use the Universal Naked Driver in my signature, you might need to disable driver signature checking before installing it. If you can't get it to install, try the Google USB driver.

Can you please helpme ?
I try to use many unbrick methods
like the unbrick method with the download mode (can't acces to download mode)
the unbrick method with the fastboot (can't acces to fastboot)
tried the unbrick method with Nexus root Toolkit (in the mode softbricked/bootloop) but doesnt work need fastboot (can't enter in fastboot)
Can't use ADB !!
determinated all unbrick methods need fastboot, download mode, adb or something but NOTHING WORKS !!!
just the unique thing is my computer detect as QHUSB_DLOAD (qualcom driver or something like that) apparently is using the port COM5 but not sure :crying:
Any ideas would be appreciated or any tut :crying::crying: im desesperated and now hate a lot my EXgf yes now is EX !!!

I've already post above the link to restore your device using download mode, try it. Try using a different PC to get the device detected.
I think you should sort your personal life first if you break up with someone due to a careless mistake on a relatively cheap device.

Bricked nexus 10? Help mee

Okay So I unlocked bootloader via NRT..
So after unlocking I got into recovery and earsed the data(as mentioned in the instructions)..
Now basically the tablet doesn't boot up to home.

First. Dont use toolkits. No disrespect to the dev but it is way better to do it manually.
Second which recovery did you use?
Third what exactly did you wipe?

You can re install the rom by going to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mantaraykot49h and picking the image you need.
Just hold the power button and the both volume buttons down at the same time to get into the fastboot mode before you run the image restore
program. I hope this helps. Good Luck
Make sure you go down to the Factory Images "mantaray" for Nexus 10.

You download the file from Google and unzip the *.tgz into a folder on the computer, then you run the flash-all.bat from the folder you unzipped the file in.

Good advice but for a noob needs a bit more about being in command line with the adb and fastboot commands in path. I use Linux desktop. I bricked a n7 last week due to a dodgy connector socket/cable during a flash and had to type the flash-all script commands myself a few times til it worked.

Last option,I'll send my nexus 10 with my uncle back to USA.
Will they charge to fix it?

Hi,
You may want to seek for the guide in the Nexus 10 Q&A regarding flashing stock again.
Can you please go a little further in details about how "bricked" it actually is? What exactly happened? There seem to be missing some important info regarding your issue.
Please be a little more descriptive and maybe I can help you .
