Hi there,
I have a problem. Every time I start up my phone a message pops up stating that process.android.media has stopped. After that every process says it has stopped and the back ground is black. I can use the notification drawer and sometimes I can enter the Settings, but that's about it.
I tried to use SP Flash Tools to reinstall the ROM, but it gives me the error not enough space. I tried formatting it, but it did nothing apparently. It didn't format it, it did show a check of completing the formatting but when I turned on my phone everything was still there black screen, etc.
After I couldn't use "download only" or format on SP Flash Tools, I did the memory test and it said "ERROR: NAND flash not detected". I read somewhere that this means there is something wrong with the hardware.
Am I FUBAR? What should I do next? Throw the phone against the wall and just buy a new one or live with a half broken phone that only has a notification drawer, black background and annoying pop ups?... Or does anyone know something to guide me in the right direction?
Any kind of help is appreciated
EDIT: I can send files through the ADB Sideload function of my TWRP recovery, however I only tried that with an SD card. I don't know if I can send data to the internal storage. It seems to be the only way to send files to my phone (or at least to my SD card). Wiping system or data through that recovery fails though.

I am in need of some help, I recenlty rooted my phone via rEVOlutionary for GB 2.3.3, and now have ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.2, this morning when I tried to do a backup something happened and I was put into a bootloop, i tried wiping the data to see if that helped and of course it didnt, now when i try to boot into recovery and access my Nandroid backups i get the message that says "E:Can't mount /sdcard", Im a noob and have no idea what to do, i have done some research and tried the RUU method but my phone doesnt get recognized by the USB port and i cant complete the RUU method.
I can only access my SD card when i put it into an adapter and view it via my comp, i have reached the end of my rope and really do not want to take my phone to the geek squad as it is s-off and most likely will not be helped as rooting voids warranty, can anyone help me or point me in a direction for a potential fix?
Not sure if this will help but have you tried a different SD card? Maybe the one you're using got corrupted some how or whatever.
If that doesn't help then download this RA-supersonic-v2.3 and place it on the root of your SD card which means don't place it in any folders or anything like that and follow these directions which I pulled from this thread

Boot the phone into the bootloader by powering the phone down, then press the power and the volume down buttons at the same time.
Once the phone boots into the bootloader the phone will automatically recognize the zip file. It will ask if you would like to update, select yes and let it do it's thing and you will be good to go
Once you're in that recovery, see if you can mount usb...that's the only thing I can think of....GOOD LUCK dude!!
thanks for that quick reply, i will try it now and see if it works out...
I was able to run the update and open the .zip while in HBoot, and went into recovery but again received the message that reads "E:Can't mount SD Card", when I go to the SD & Phone Storage section of my EVO settings Menu it does not show the total space avaliable for the SD Card...
I have a 2GB SD Card that lying around that i will try out tomorrow...anymore help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
no luck, the 2GB card didnt work and the 8GB cant be read either, I tried funning the .ZIP but it goes into recovery however i can not run any .ZIP files because the sd card cant mount...
Took it to Best Buy, they are sending me a new one in 3-5 days...now to not repeat this again...
Hi all, the other night i went to be and my phone woke us up making a ticking noise. i looked at the screen to find it suddenly asking for a password/pin to decrypt. i have NEVER encrypted or even looked at the menu to encrypt my phone. the phone is also completely stock from verizon, although as i understand the vzw variant claims to be rooted. i do not have a pass or pin to unlock. it also says i have 0/10 attempts left to enter my pass/pin. if i enter one at random, the attempts remaining changesto 1/10. this seems backwards to me. if i enter any more false passwords the number does no go up or down anymore. i can access the hard factory reset screen by using the vol down +power key combo but when i confirm the device to wipe i get e cannot mount cahce and e cannot open cahce log. it also says unknown error 150. if i try to wipe cache it says the same thing. i tried to use the sideload from adb option and my computer recognizes an adb connection but it only allows me to run the adb sideload command, which fails due to the mounting errors as well. if i try to run any other adb commands it immediately says "closed" in my command prompt. i cannot load any images from sd card either since the phone has no sd card slot and i cannot access the internal storage in any way ive tried. i went to use the lg flash tool to try and just flash a new image and everything goes fine until the 15 or 16 second mark and then it tells me it fails because the erase command is unsuccessful.
im getting ready to send it in to lg or verizon but i just hate being beaten by such a mysterious problem. can it not mount or give me access to overwrite with the flash tool because of encryption? or is it "encrypted" due to a faulty chip causing an issue? its weird that it can still boot to this pass/pin screen, it has the standard soft keys on bottom of the screen, so it looks like th UI is actually still being recognized. also, i am/was connected to a corporate exchange server but we have never had a policy in place to require encryption and there is another android user in our office who has not had this happen. i am the tech guy and i have verified this. can anyone help me at least understand what the problem might be? i just hate not knowing, even if i still have to send it in. is it truly hardware? or is it just software gone crazy?
Ok this phone was running out of space, so my friend attempted to delete one of her exchange email accounts from work to free some space and then the phone went crazy crashing every second. After pulling the battery out, it boots and gets stuck in the ATT logo.
I have searched this forum and google endlessly and the most reasonable solution i found was trying to access the storage using ADB.
so this is what happens:
1. Windows does not detect any hardware being plugged in the computer if the phone is in recovery mode like in the attached pictures.
2. Windows DOES detect an MTP device when the phone is stuck in the ATT logo, and plugged to the computer, but the driver fails to install and i get the yellow exclamation mark on the device manager under portable devices.
3. I waited and clicked on scan for hardware changes but still get the "Device cannot start (code 10)" in windows.
4. I wiped the cache partition to no effect.
5. Everything is stored on the internal memory, she never had a micro SD card installed.
All i know this is a stock phone. My friend got it with ATT and no one ever played with it (rooting and stuff). I have no clue about what software version was installed other than the numbers you see in the attached pictures.
I know "wipe data/factory reset" will get rid of the problems, but she needs to recover pictures, and work related SMSs that she never backed up. Losing this data will set her back very badly with customers and more than a year of work.
Any tips are much appreciated and i hope there is light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks a lot.
Hello guys.
I have an LG L5 (E610) that is having a very strange behavior.
It started by throwing a lot of ANR with different applications (Google Play Store, Play Services, Facebook, and others).
So, seeing this, I decided to do a factory reset. After reboot, what is my surprise that I see everything as I had before. All the applications, all the data, everything.
With this, I tried almost everything at the moment. And by saying that, I mean:
- Tried to follow the key combination for the recovery, it goes to recovery, I see the Android and some progress bar moving, but after the reboot, the system remains with no change;
- When on the system, I uninstall applications, they seem to be uninstalled, but after a reboot all the applications are back.
- Tried to root the phone with more than one process, no success. I cannot install any application. Not via play store, not via adb install, there is no way;
- Tried to flash a recovery img, to try to clean cache partition from there, no luck. From Fastboot it says everything went well, but when I reboot, everything is the same;
- In fastboot, I tried to erase cache and userdate partitions, no luck. When I try, i have a message saying "FAILED (status read failed (Too many links))". This happens with all the partitions. I even tried to erase the system partition, and I have the same response. Strange thing is that after this error, the phone reboots and goes directly to the system;
- Tried with KDZ images and tools to install different versions, I receive errors during the deployment and at the end the phone reboots. Again, the same system is installed as before. No changes.
As of now, I was trying to understand if there is any problem with the internal flash system. Maybe it is corrupted and is causing all these issues.
The thing is, as the phone is not rooted, I cannot launch a e2fsck to the maybe faulty mmcblk0pXX
The phone has a stock ROM based on Android 4.0.3 (build IML74K / LG-E610-V10e-JUN-30-2012)
I am out of ideas, I've looked around here at XDA, Google and I have no other ideas to try.
Does anyone have another suggestion?
Is there something else I can do to try to make the phone live again?
Any help someone can provide will be very much appreciated..
Now this is what I call a coincidence.
About 2 years ago, a friend of mine asked me for help with her E610. Almost all actions were giving us ANRs. Whatever you do, i.e. unsinstall, install, change, delete... after reboot/reset were all there, even notifications! Tried KDZ updater, and, while the update was OK without signs of errors or so, after reboot - nothing, everything was like before. After trying to find a solutions by hundreds of ways, with adb and fastboot commands (all partitions&folders were locked, no read, no write, and you can't see any file, tried root to no avail), L5 got bricked. She already got a new phone and this LG was laying there without any use.
Three days ago I decided to try again, with no hope tbh No screen, no vibration, nothing, apparently dead. But, I could install Qualcomm drivers and my Windows can see it in download mode. I think that the only way is to flash the phone with LGFlashTool and using COM port. I already extracted *.dz from *.kdz but I need the dll for FlashTool. Found 2 or 3 webs with this dll, but you need a 100 bucks subscription :crying: If anyone can upload that dll I'd be very happy to try to flash this phone I'm really big n00b in this, just a plain phone user, nothing more, so don't blame me if I said something wrong
Many thanks in advance.
same problem
Hello! Same problem...
My L5 is making me crazy... It has CyanogenMod 10 nighlty. A friend of mine was using it and he tried to install the GAPPS after he did a factory reset. I have no idea what guide he used but it got soft bricked... It's constantly showing a "stopped working" message and after a while reboots by itself.
I tried to do a factory reset but it always returns to the same point, same apps installed, everything like the reset never happened. I even used CWM to reset it and it allways goes back to the same recovery point.
After a while I decided to flash a stock room but here's the problem: I can't get into emergency mode.
After reading ALL post about it I found that there's at least three ways of entering EM, (1) down VOL and plug in usb cable without battery; (2) down+up VOL and plug in usb; (3) down+up VOL + power botton.
Conclusions:
(1) - gives me a screen full of code like a command line
(2) - White screen
(3) - White screen
I've read ALL the unbrinking post on the internet, including xda, and none of them helped.
The KDZ Updater never recognizes the phone. I installed all the drivers but everytime I plug in the phone it installes the same LGE MTP drive...
Can anyone help, please?!
How to enter Emergency mode? How to flash another rom?
Hello guys, I have this weird A3000-H problem.
So the tablet boots normally, it loads in one particular state every time, like it's booting an image. After a while or if you try to do something, running a program, uninstalling, changing settings it's starts the cascade of pretty much "every has stopped working" and it's like that until you restart it and it's all over the same again.
So far I've tried everything I could scour from the internet, XDA forums included.
• I've tried to flash new stock rom 4.2.2, then I tried the 4.4.2 from Hesham.
If I use an older, version 3 SP Flash Tools it gives me this error at the end:
imgur com a5oKTLw.png
If I use version 5+ of SP Flash Tools it gives me an "OK" download or upgrade, but when I disconnect and turn on the tablet it's in it's same previous state, it didn't change anything.
• I tried full format - it did absolutely nothing despite SPFT giving me the okay
SPFT memory test returns this error : .imgur com / jbSUwV5.png
• I tried writing memories - nothing changes despite getting on OK message.
• I tried to fastboot CWM - I can't make the tablet to enter the mode, it just restarts and boots in it's previous state.
• I've tried to connect it to PC and delete folders manually, despite windows saying the folders are deleted and not showing them anymore, as soon as I reconnect the tablet again they show up as they were. It's like the on board memory is locked to writing anything on it.
• Of course I tried manually resetting to factory settings, uninstalling software from the tablet and so on, but that just makes the errors of "stopped working" to pop and restart to same condition.
I would appreciate any help at this point, I'm about to give up on it.
P.S.: I can't post whole links yet so I had to improvise a bit.
