Avoid Brick(KDZ) - Optimus One, P500, V General

I'm writing this for all O1 users..
Avoid using kdz or the russian method for flashing official GB or a baseband(you can use V20c rom which was uploaded in .zip format) .. Avoid doing so as it is very dangerous,, it can make your phone dead.. But afterall nothing is possible without risk.. So, If you are using KDZ or russian method and got struck at emergency mode, never pull out the battery as it will make your phone dead. If you are stuck in emergency mode, try using recovery key combo or start the KDZ process again and remember to disable usb modem from device manager.
Hit thanks if you think that this information is useful.

yes but you cannot use V20c rom which was uploaded in .zip format if you are having v10 baseband you need to flash baseband using lgmdp as suggested in one thread in xda

if you need to remove recovery image you can't use zip format...and baseband is also a problem

I too was about to remove the battery when my phone got stuck in emergency mode while downgrading baseband
but decided to disconnect and reconnect the phone and this worked....

we can use zip format files to replace custom recovery with another custom or stock recovery and also we can use zip format to install rom but till now no method to change baseband using zip format files.

Im using kdz just like making love..
Almost 4 times for a month, still dont find any issue..
About Russian way, the topic has said about that... so do at your own risk, beside that if u follow step by step (how to) carefully its no problem to...
If u dont want your phone brick, dont do roots, dont install custom recovery, use all LGE sh*t and put your phone at locked underground room and at last dont use it.

i have read that already and tried to flash the stock firmware back using odin.. but no luck.
flash rom?? please elaborate...!!
the firmware i flashed was like 7 mb.
i would not want to factory reset my phone as the problem i am facing might stop for a day or two, cause thats what happened when i did it earlier. and i am going to get the phone replaced today itself.

Look for intratech's thread in development. He even gives directions.

Firmwares are well over 200mb.To flash a new rom go to samfirmware.com choose the original firmware you had or one similar and then extract the folder downloaded. Put the phone.in download mode. For PDA use.the file with PDA in etc. Click repartition and use ext4 pit file.

OMG OMG FIRE FIRE!!!!
First, stop panicking, and post in Q&A where this belongs.
You need to do a full ODIN flash of a stock ROM. You would do this by going to Intratech's thread, and selecting the suitable firmware for your region and carrier/unbranded device.
Unzip the self extracting exe etc, and you will have the stock ROM file. ODIN it as a PDA.
This won't factory reset the phone, but if it won't boot, that might give you another example of something wrong with it... You can factory reset via stock recovery, if needed, by holding volume up + home + power, and choosing to reset.
FIRST AND FOREMOST...SUCCESS ... UNROOTED!
I WAS FLASHING THE FIRMWARE (7MB) NOT THE ROM (200MB)
AND NOW DONE!!

[Q] Restore from backup (Clockworkmod)

Hi, I've been playing with my phone (ace), and its been a week since i bought it, and now, the screen will just shut, so i thought it was the ROM, so ive changed it like 3 times (2.3.3 / 2.3.4), and same thing happened, so, im guessingits not about the software but it is a hardware problem, so, before i did any flash or whatever, i created a back up with cwm 4.0.0.9, so it can have my carrier and everything, but now that i want to restore it to its original state, it wont let me, it says like, "done", but it wont pass the "samsung s5830" screen...
the files that i have with it are
.android_secure
Android
boot
cache
data
nandroid.md5
recovery
system
please any help? i really want to take it back to my carrier so i can have a new one replaced
thanks
You're not describing your problem when you say "the screen shuts off" .
screen shuts off means ? it goes black for some time and come back atonce or what ?
stuck at boot logo right. reflash the fw using odin.

sry, I mean like, the light will go off, it still works, I can still touch the screen and it will make a sound, or if i were playing a game, it will still keep running, i just cant see a thing, i have to "lock the screen" and then the light will turn on again..
The cleanest way will be
Read the Howto then flash the Firmware of your Carrier with Odin. Anything will end up in a Mess because you can not restore any Rom coming from another with cwm.

I can't find my carrier's FW, im from ecuador, and it came with one that i havent been able to found in internet..... I knew something like that was going to happen, that why i created a backup with cwm, but now, i cant find a way to restore it, I have all those files that i detailed up there (the backup was created from the same phone)...
Hmm, you could try to get the same Android Stock Version, i.E. 2.3.3 or whatever, I think the Basebandversion is important and the restore your Backup over it. Still the Problem is that you have to flash the cwm Recovery again before you can restore it..
Don't know if this evidence will create trouble for your guarantee ..
But there MUST be your Firmware somewhere in the Web! Maybe if you post your carrier here, there might be someone with a link ;-)

I was making some updates or what ever, instaling this **** http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312240&page=1048 and karnel 2.6 and don't know what else...
So now i can't turn on my phone... It always turns and turns but not fully, just to that step where writes samsung galaxy s II... :O what to doo!! ?? Only way is odin? and how? pls i need full explanation :/
Can you get into recovery or download mode?? Also show some respect for the devs work rather than calling it "****"
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Did you make a Nandroid backup before flashing? (then just go into recovery and restore).
If not,
Go into download mode (volume down + home button + power button) and flash your stock rom with ODIN. Download your correct firmware here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
(there are also instructions on how to do it)
Do a factory reset and wipe your cache first before you do this (in recovery mode).
I can use only odin i think, cuz i can't turn on the phone so there is not any other possibility...:/
can i download listening room 6.1 and instal because that's only i found via odin.. exept that u said me here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 ?
I made only titanium backup... that doesnt help right?
Btw how can i know what is my karnel version ? i mean... last i instal was listening room 6.1 and i instal it just now bia odin... but phone still doesnt works... so? what to do? :O before litening room was dark knight and before knight was MIUI 2.3.7 v10 smth like that... and all those versions i instaled today...:O
Just use a stock rom first. I think a 3 parted with a pit file is the best way ;-)

You say that you can't turn on the phone? Even to download mode? (hold volume down + home, then press power and hold all three) If the phone doesn't come on at all, it sounds like you are screwed, and have to take the phone to a service center. Or get a jig. And I have doubts that a jig will work.
yes, it can to download mode, just i didnt know how it calles i meant it is odin nvm... what to do now? just if you start with explaining... give me full explanation so i can't mess up again

I'd grab one of the later stock ROMs from Intratech's thread here. That thread also has detailed instructions in the first post.
But first of all, how sure are you that you have a GT-I9100? Look under your battery at the label. What model number does that label say? You want to make sure you use a ROM intended for your model of phone. Otherwise you will end up right where you're starting now - with your phone not working.
If you have an I9100 device Go to the thread given to you in the previous posts and read the first few posts calmly and thoroughly till you understand it.
Odin will be your best bet.
Download mode on your device is power+home+volume down all pressed together until it's boots.
Read the info in intratechs thread that you were linked to its all there.

Why not ? sounds like his partition scheme got a little messed up ion the process, couldn't hurt to repartition.. I do it all the time, tried it accidentally the first time, it didin't even wipe the contents of my internal SD (probably because the same partition layout got flashed than the one that was on the device).
Nowadays I do it everytime I flash a stock rom that provides a .PIT file. I mean if it's packaged with the ROM, it's certainly not for nothing, they can't be that dumb at samsung..

Do not panic. If you can enter download mode you can retrieve it. For the drivers install kies. Then reboot. Then open task manager band kill kies. Then go to sammobile and download the right odin and firmware for your phone. Flash it and you are done

Am really sorry to hear that bro.
u can see my signature n download the stock firmware.
Odin is also there.
as stated in the reply above install kies n reboot your PC. drivers will be installed then
then open Odin in ur PC n goto download mode in ur mob. connect ur mob to PC n wait for Odin to identify ur device.
then extract the downloaded zip file n u will get a single .tar.md5 file.
in odin choose pda option n then choose the .tar.md5 file n flash.
umm.. im not familiar with odin n stuff... but its kinda not reading it in pc...
i mean i held down+home+power keys and it came in odin mode but its not comming in odin in pc... no added! msg in here
is there another way? i have CWM recovery v3.. and its got file manager in it.. and restore is not helping...
umm.. now what?
You may download a ROM, put it in your phone SD card and install it using ClockworkMod recovery.
mak-droid did the trick... i found out that 1 gb memory card is not read by this..
i used 2 gb instead, put mak-droid in it and, installed it using CWMv3
too bad all my apps and memos were deleted...
thanks mak-droid and all

Congrats. Remember to backup frequently next time.
In addition, update your CMW to a newer version, otherwise it might not be compatible with some ROM's. I'm using V6, the touch version. :victory:

[Q] Phone won't turn on how to reset binary code?

Hi,
Is there any way to reset binary code when my phone won't go into boot. My phone won't get past the boot screen and I can only get it to recovery mode - where I can't do anything - or in download mode. I know I need to use Triangle away but when my phone won't boot I can't use the app, so is there any way that I can reset the binary code in another way?
Thanks

flash stock sammy rom through odin and look if it is bootable. how to do it is in general section - stickies
if yes root it and run triangle away (or maybe you won't need it then anymore because its bootable again )

First thanks for all the answers
Well first I rooted the phone with this program: Samsung Galaxy S3 Toolkit and Odin that worked fine. Then I downloaded CM and Gapps to the sd-card and flashed it trough CWM and that went fine. The phone worked fine and everything was good.. Then months after it started to reboot it self and then one morning, after a reboot, it deleted all my text massages. The next day it wont boot. Some people says that there is someting wrong with my motherboard, but what do you guys think?
I found an article that says that rooting and flashing doesn't void the warrenty (EU) " If it is not possible to revert it stock software any more, it is also not a software-caused defect" and the warrenty is still valid And that's excatly what im experienced.
Thanks
I found an article that says that rooting and flashing doesn't void the warrenty (EU
Oh yes it does under Samsung warranty rules .
Fact is better than the fiction of eu and root not voiding warranty as its not a law and Samsung is not the vendor .
Any claim for repair must be made against the vendor .
