My 818pro might be DEAD!

Dear Bros,
I have a very serious problem here with my 818pro, which noone may have encounter in this forum, let me tell you in sequence:
1)First, after I downgrade my rom with this file Customize_rom_PDAMobiz_Editon_Upgrade_Rom_for_IPLSPL_2.15.0001_v.1.02.rar, I was unable to power up from USB. I can only power up using the wall mains.
2)After powering up from my wall mains, I upgrade my OS using this file
AKU3.3.07.ASERG .
3)After upgrade and hard reset, I am unable to boot up using both the wall mains and even the USB! My display just went blank, and my two leds (orange and blue) keep blinking on and off.
4)I connect my 818pro using USB to PC but cannot go into the bootloader mode nor boot up into the OS.
5)I connect using my wall mains (but not link to PC) and is able to go into bootloader screen, but still unable to boot up into the OS.
Here, I am unable to perform any upgrade/downgrade of ROM using the mains power as I cannot connect to my PC at all!
6)Worst case, I do not have any ROM backup file on my SDcard, therefore am unable to do anything at all!
7)Lastly, can any of you expert brothers here able to advise me wat to do now, or able to provide me with any SDcard rom backup for the 818pro, as I guess that is the only option out for me now???
Would be deeply grateful to the kind brothers here for helping me out! Sorry for the long story which may be confusing.
Best Regards

Hey man,you're not alone.. my 818pro do act like that sucks things as yours...
hoping expert's help ,too.....
solved...just replace a new battery...haha..

really? replace a new battery will help? why is that so??? my battery is still good , and the only thing i did to **** up the pda is just reflashing the rom to a wrong one.
what happen when u replace a new battery? can share?

get the battery out.
cut your charger cable open
the inner cable, the one inside of the inner white one connects to pin 1 from the physical top.
the outer one of the charger cable connects to the fifth pin from the physical top
no you go into bootloader and connect the usb cable, flash over another rom and try if it works... GET OUT THE BATTERY BEFORE YOU CONNECT THE PINS mine got damaged because of that

hey thanks! i've successfully unbricked my 818pro and flashed it with os 1.013, a very early version, and only that seems to work! I had tried flashing to aku3.3 clean rom from pdamoviz but it stuck at the splash screen after successful flashing.

another funny thing, although i unbricked my 818pro, i can still only soft reset it thru my charger instead of usb. If i soft reset while on usb power, the device will just shut off and show blue and orange flashing leds. Do u have a workaround for this problem?

hI,How did you flash the rom? You could not go into bootloader mode, nor connect through usb. Please give the procedure used, because I have the same problem. Thanks.

no and there are still a lot of problems for me... I bricked 2 batterys already for example but I'm working on it ... but its a little bit different as I flashed a Wizard bootloader and I have no idea what happened with your phone^^ but something else... I know the problem though, often my phone doesn't even bootup after soft reset if its connected to the charger...

[Q] I'm SO LOST PLEASE HELP!

I own an LG G2, i recently got this phone yesterday from a person on craiglist. Don't worry i didn't pay him i gave him my older phone i dont use anymore. SO This phone is practically stuck in Firmware Update (As i read that post) , i spent about a day and half figuring it out and what happens is that.
I CAN get into recovery its TWRP v2.7.0.0 by Turning off the phone first and then Holding Vol UP, Power, Vol Down at the same time until the LG Logo comes up and then i am still holding them down, and it says Recovery Mode please wait and bam TWRP.
But heres the problem i can't mount my OTG and i can't ADB Sideload. So what do i do from here?? this guy rooted this phone and soft bricked it i think? and he wiped the phone but i also did when i had the chance and wiped it completly via recovery.
The only way i got into "Download Mode" / "Firmware Update" was to take the back cover off and unscrew a few screws on the side and unclip the battery for a few seconds and then plugged it back in and then I held the VOl UP button and plugged my USB into the phone and the other end is in my PC. My phone says "Download Mode please wait" and then prompted with the Firmware Update screen. BUT my pc doesnt detect the phone whatso ever and i've already installed drivers and etc from this forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 ) its the 2015 method that i downloaded.
so what do i have to do, i havent tried using different usb cables, the port seems fine to be plugged in since in TWRP it says 84+ so i meant its charging right? help me out guys idk what else to do or flash or anything.

I think the methods leave out that you need to change your phone to com port 41 on device manager > ports in order to be detected. Then you need to unplug it and reconnect to computer when the program shows waiting for device, with the phone in download mode already.
Also, to get to recovery you hold vol down and power, when the LG logo comes up release power and hold it again until the reset screen comes up.
To get to download mode you turn the phone off then hold up while plugging the USB cord in with it connected to pc... This launches download mode.

Well you see man , I cant change anything in Device Manager since my phone isn't being detected. It didn't install drivers fully fully since my phone isnt recognized. Even in TWRP or "Download Mode/ Firmware Update" Nothing happens no drivers installing or anything even but it does boot it up to that point....and its just normal boot up i see the LG logo and my led goes from green to blueish in a smooth transition and it doesnt stop until i turn it off. The method i got into recovery is holding all those buttons down its not a problem for me to get into it. I also have another problem it doesn't seem to want to mount my usb otg by samsung.

what do i do
So i tried the otg route but I can't mount it. I have everything connected and once I go into recovery to mount usb-otg, nothing happens.
I just need some way to get a ROM.zip in my phone
Computer does not recognize my phone.
Stuck at LG logo unless I enter recovery.
Sideload doesnt work.
OTG doesnt work.
I've tried at least 4 different guides with no luck.

Why don't you manually install drivers from online?

ive tried

ive tried that already and it doesnt list anything from the LG folder.
I realized the phone will say start the adb sideload feature. so, when i put the "abd sideload file.zip" command on my pc i just wait a few minutes and it says daemon not running on port 5037 and then start successfuly and then error :device not found.
it can seem to reognize my device wether its in recovery, or download mode or fastboot mode.

Try again in other pc that has never been conected to an LG Phone before. It can perfectly be a conflict with drivers installed in the OS.

I've tried man
AFter i cleaned the usb port in one of the chats or forums, i waited a day ovbiously without turning on the phone and cleaned the usb port with alchohal and a q tip and i plugged my phone into my computer and my PC detected something but it only says "Unknown Device" everytime no matter what pc i use it says that. nothing else. but before that none of my pcs would detect theirs a phone plugged in at all.

No there is no problem with your USB cord or port. You need to do following steps.

Samsung S4 usb connection problems.

Okay, so i have a Samsung S4 (i9505) running cm12 (5.1.1). The problem I'm facing is that it won't connect to my laptop (or multiple other computers i've tried, also tried downloading and deleting stuff of windows which didnt work either) via the usb cable, i've also tried mounting multiple USB's (Through an otg adapter), which also didn't work.
I've tried turnign debugging on and off, ADB on and off, developer options on and off. I came to my last resort today, resetting it. I reset it, the samsung boot logo came up it then went into TWRP, though the TWRP logo just kept flashing on and off (i read somewhere this means that its corrupt but im not sure). The only way i could get the phone to boot was by pressing the: home + volume down & power buttons and then pressing down (cancel) on the custom OS warning screen.
The problem now that im facing is, i cant reset my phone, mount anything via the usb or connect it to any computer. If someone could help me, that'd be greatly appreciated.

usb only charges, no data transfer

my nexus 6 will only charge no data transfer and pc wont recognize it. When i connect it to the pc it goes staright to charge mode and the usb trident symbol doesnt ever appear. In developer options usb configure is stuck in "charge mode" only. Ive tried different roms from pie to mm . i reinstalled bootloader and radio, tried twrp back ups and still the same. Had new charging port put in phone thinking that was the problem but didnt help. Ive searched google but couldnt find anything. Any Ideas, really appreciate it thx

When I installed stock rom which was android 7.1 it changed phone back to encrypted. Now i have to format internal drive in order to install a pie rom. Does anyone think that formatting internal drive might fix problem with not being able to do anything but charge phone from usb port, because if that doesnt fix it there would be no way for me to put any rom on my internal drive to install it.. Does anyone have any suggestions

Just to double check that adb devices shows your serial #. If not, it may be a driver issue.

Computer doesn’t see it, when I enter adb devices it doesn’t show up. Nothing shows up in device manager either: Also when I enter fast boot on the phone “power lower volume button” it says “connect usb data cable” I’ve trued numerous cables that work fine on my other phone. So it’s not the cable. After I plug them into phone it still says connect usb data cable.

I also have a thumb drive with a micro usb connecter that used to work on the phone. Now the phone doesn’t see it when you plug it in to the phone. But it works on my other phone so it’s not the thumb drive

It sounds like a driver problem. Is it a windows PC? Have you tried installing the Google USB driver? I've had similar issues, and reinstalling the driver(s) has worked for me.

It’s windows 10 and I reinstalled driver, other thing is in my car when I plug it in to the usb slot for android auto, it doesn’t show up in my car either and it used too.

It’s like the phone is stuck in charge only mode and I can’t get it out of that

When you connect your other phone to your PC, does its serial # show up in adb devices? If so, I'm out of suggestions.
1 more thing.. Have you enabled USB debugging in Developer Options?

Other phones shows up and in devolpers options in “usb configuration” you can set it to mtp but when you hit enter it goes back to charge only. I was on” aiop 14.0 rom” when it happened but it was working fine on that rom , then one day android auto kept saying connect usb, so when I got home I tried to plug it into pc and nothing. So I replaced charging port thinking that was problem but it didn’t help. Flashed other roms and even went back to stock, reflashed bootloader nothing helped. I was hoping someone here had seen this before cause I googled it and nothing like this could I find

Forget USB configuration for a minute. In developer options, under debugging, USB debugging needs to be enabled.

usb debugging is enable also. even tried turning it off and back on again, didnt help.
you know when you connect phone to pc and you normally see the usb trident symbol on your phone, well when i connect it to the pc i dont see that symbol it just goes straight to charging but even charging i should still see the usb symbol and i dont,

Bricked MOJO

Hi guys , I tried to install a CM to the mojo, but when I did the wipe in all , the mojo was not reading my sd card so, I couldnt install any O.S .
When I restarted it I only saw a black screen. I unmounted all screws and I touched some switch buttons on the board, and when I plugged it on the pc I could see the fastboot in devices. The screen in the Mojo was saying "Key drivers not found..booting OS" and I couldnt do nothing. I tried to flash it with a stock android 4.3 but it didnt work , and now my PC doesnt read the MOJO by usb and I cant find any fastboot in my computer.
Any idea of how could I fix it please?
And sorry for my bad english
