So if the message on the screen matches your problem, that must mean that you are like other members of recent. it means you don't know how to use this wonderful creation called a search and need to create pointless threads.
took me all of 5 seconds to do what you didn't do. I mean even if you had typed what you think the screen showed, the auto fill feature would have pointed you in the right direction too

thank you for responding, but i have been searching for days but i hadnt found this thread thanks a lot. and here is another problem: i have a folder named fastbood in c:/ which contains fastboot.exe, adbwinapi and adbwinusbapi.dll but in the cmd screen i failed to do what im supposed to do.
2: Located in the folder where the files are.
i dont know what that means
i guess i did it but it says waiting for device, so the computer doesnt recognize my device

You also need drivers.
All of that has been covered already. Did you search?

yes mate i have motorola device manager, as far as i know this the same thing right? just like samsung's kies
i really did tons of search but im almost hopeless. guys who have the same problem did solved it by just taking device to fastboot but mine is not going in that mode. when i plug the device its charger it says same problem and also says battery too low to flash. so im just gonna go and buy a new battery

now even if i have the necessary drivers (which come with motorola device manager) pc doesnt recognize my phone
also now my phone now says svf.... failed to boot... entering nflash recovery.... battery too low to flash and screen stays like this and phone gets heat (so we can say it's alive?)

The phone has been alive this whole time. I don't know why you said "hard brick" in the title, this has nothing to do with a hard brick. (Do you even know what a hardbrick is?)
You will need to charge the battery using another phone or an external charger. If you feel confident enough, you could try the trick where you strip a USB cable and connect the wires directly to the battery. (No idea what I'm talking about? Time to use search again.)

not hard brick? oh thank god, i said so because the phone does nothing
yeah i searched it before and its calldd factory cable, i havent done it yet but i tried usb jig which was a failure. no one owns an atrix around me, so i just need a external charger and right now im onto it
guys, i really appreciate your helps, im very glad to have you here thanks a lot. i will post here the results

man i told you, it's hard brick i guess.. because i charged the battery a bit then i opened the phone and the problem is the same again, it says entering nvflash recovery in about half a second screen goes black

Here is short explanation what hard brick is:
Hard bricks are more or likely that you won’t be able to fix it. If you get a hard brick, your phone will not be repaired, there will be absolutely no way to without sending it to the manufacturer. This could be from wiping the entire system without flashing a rom, no way into recovery and no way to get it back. This could be also caused from bad installation files, or turning off/removing the battery from your device during the first installation or boot up sequence. Sometimes you can fix a hard brick, but more often than not your device is going to be broken. This is a fix that is required by the manufacturer of the device. Honestly if you get this, it may just be simpler to go get the device replaced instead of even trying to fix it. HOWEVER make sure you go out and read about it, typing in the exact problem and doing lots of research for your specific device as there may be some hope for the device somewhere.

Exactly. try it with sudo, just in case (sudo is for run the command as root, with full privileges).

JTAG depends heavily on your ability to solder tiny surface mount components. Good luck.

Eaysest was back to stock (updated for 2.2...finally ha)

UPDATED. This will put you to STOCK 2.2! Using ODIN thanks to eugene373.
If you want stock and are able to get in to recovery and want a flashable rom. click here
This started as a thread asking for help, with the little help I got... and a little searching NOW this thread is to help other people who are having the same problem
ALSO its to show that a little searching on this forum, you will pry find the answers you are looking for.
EVERYTHING in here I found in the Bible, that is located in the development section.
This guide is for non hardware locked vibrants... if you are hardware locked check out this threadhere
First off you will need to get odin and the correct files.
I have packaged eugenes 2.2 pit and tar(md5) files in a zip along with odin. these are all the files you will need and you can download them here
(remember this is for unofficial 2.2 if you want Official 2.1 files click here )
s15274n (thread here) has everything you will need in his [Tips & Tricks] thread AND MORE!
so make sure to check that out and read the "EASY WAY TO GET THE JI6 UPDATE" before you go any further with my thread.
Georgegreco86(thread here) made this awesome image (below) and it works perfectly....
HOWEVER some times there are some complications that happen that i cover below.
TO GET IN TO DOWNLOAD MODE
I have found the EASIEST WAY to do this is:
1.pull the battery out of the phone.
2.plug usb into computer
3.put the battery back in the phone
4.hold in the volume up and down
5.plug usb in to phone
it should bring you to the download mode in seconds.
now you should unplug the usb From the phone..
make sure the battery stays in, and open odin.
now follow the instructions below.
1. Open Odin3_v1.0
2. Load .512 into the PIT placeholder
(In this case s1_odin_20100512)
3. Load *FILE.tar* into PDA placeholder
(In this case Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5)
4. Make sure COM port has a number in it
This means your phone is connected, if your phone is not connected make sure you have the correct drivers)
5. Press Start!
6. If you it all works your done... if not keep reading!

IF YOU RUN IN TO PROBLEMS!
If your phone is not connecting to odin.It might be because you need the correct drivers, thanks to TGA_Gunnman they are located here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929.
I was able to just let the computer search for them and with a few clicks, had the drivers installed.
To install the Android USB driver on Windows Vista for the first time:
1. Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port. Windows will detect the device and launch the Found New Hardware wizard.
2. Select "Locate and install driver software."
3. Click "Next." Vista may prompt you to confirm the privilege elevation required for driver installation. Confirm it.
Freezing on "cache.rfs"
searching on google i found a website called fractionalphones.com, the post was about this and it said what i had to do was reboot my computer and hit F8 (just keep touching it) and when it gets to the "safemode screen" arrow down to "Disable Digital Signature Verification"
Also a problem Some people had was the usb port used...
So if it does not work try a new port!
Use oclf. Remove the lag fix first, then ant other optimizations you may have clicked, then ext 2 and finally root. I had to do this to send back my phone. Now the ext2 takes awhile so be patient.

It wont let me remove the lag fix, v2 says i dont have the lag fix installed
and v1 says "you only have 346MB free on RFS, but 364MB used on EXT2. You must free up some space"
and then it tells me i dont have enough to install either v1 or v2 of the lag fix
BUT my quadrant is 2000+ so i know its installed.
i saw the other tread about this but it didnt really tell me much.

LOL, One of the reasons I suggested Odin. It'll "just work" even if you have the lagfix (at least it did for me). Make sure you backup everything on the SD card that you want & tell it to repartition. If all goes well, everything down to the internal SD card has been put back to stock.
I know when I did the lagfix, I had a PC app that just ran ADB commands in a batch file (basically). After a week or so it got unbearably slow and even the remove lag fix that came with it wouldn't work, so I used Odin to go back to stock.
--------
But, I think what it's complaining about is you need to free up ~20MB of space in order to remove the lag fix. Since it needs to move the files that it put on the ext2 partition back to the RFS partition, it needs at least that much space before it can move the files & then delete the ext2 partition.
bumping because I figured out what I was doing and I think this can help a lot of other people.
I'm trying to do the "Odin back to stock" process but I'm having a little trouble. I've got all the files and opened Odin etc. I entered the .pit file and the .tar file. Auto-reboot and f. reset time are checked. I click start and I get "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)"
What am I doing wrong?

Odin isn't recognizing your phone. You should double check that the drivers are properly installed. Then, make sure Odin is on and click Reset if need be. Put phone into Download Mode and then plug it into computer.. A yellow box should appear at top of Odin, which let's you know you're successfully connected.
Hope that helps!

Try re-downloading the files and doing it again, maybe you got a bad file or something? This should work and if it does not... like I said I'm brand new to this, I had a problem figured out how to fix it and figured share the info, if it does not work for you, hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in.

I managed to brick my TP

Installed cm via directions. No problems. Decided to try installing a new Android kernel. Flashed via recovery.
Moboot, but couldn't get into any os, not even recovery. Eventually got into Android. Was able after many attempts to get to webos. Decided to try and reinstall cm9 and such. Plugged into computer while in webos to move files over and got a need to format window. Hit yes (i know, I know).
Now can't even get moboot. Decide to Dr it. Gets to 12% and doesn't move. Google it and follow some novaterm/cmd directions.
Now Dr gets to 8% and says unable to reset device. Have a hard time getting into HP recovery (usb symbol). Mostly get an exclamation point in a triangle and the url for Dr.
What r my options, HP warranty? Thx

The cm team can help you on IRC here's info I copied from the cm thread go here and they should get you right http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=cyanogenmod-touchpad
The reason the doctor is failing is because Android messes with your partitions and at 12% the webOS doctor is verifying partitions. Have you attempted ACMEUninstaller? When at the webOS screen go ahead and run ACMEUinstaller. Then if uoi can boot into webOS do the complete wipe to wipe the entire SD section. Then doctor it and then reflash Android with ACMEinstaller2

lucky for us, the TP can never be bricked unless you start to manually edit partition tables (and even then, its fixable with much hair pulling, ive personally troubleshooted this with a friend before )
maybe these threads can help you out:

There is no recovery from a missing bootie (not that I know of). A missing bootie is like a missing hboot.

yep there is a way, you just havent heard of it (the pre has a way to boot from a corrupted bootie too)...
you can boot directly from the usb into the cpu bypasing bootie (instead of power + vol-up to enter bootie try it with vol-down while connected to a pc , and you will get what i mean..)
work has been done on this but a working product hasnt...
also is the hboot in nand or rom (im gueasing the nand /boot partiton just as with the few android devices i have worked on)

No, the Pre is a completely different device. The Pre has an OMAP3430, while the TouchPad has your typical (non-USB bootable) Qualcomm processor.
And hboot is in the nand. (but still erasable)

pps should mention that other qualcomm devices can boot from usb too...

If you're talking about QHSUSB_DLOAD, there is no known way to use that. No image files, nothing.

[Q] Galaxy Tab 10.1 will not connect to PC

I have searched for a topic, but they didn't give me any answers. I have tried EVERYTHING, buying a new cable, turning off USB Debugging, hell I even did a hard reset on the tablet.
When I connect the two devices, "MTP initialisation" comes up on the Tab sometimes, and when I say that I have to keep unplugging and pugging in the damn thing. SO, it says connected on the Tab, but my PC will not recognize it at all. There is nothing under Device Manager, and nothing under Computer.
And Yes, all my drivers have been installed. I really wanted that ICS rom and this is making me frustrated. If I can;t get this resolved, I'm getting an iPad 3 lol. Please help!

Had a similar problem myself and it ended up being the PC usb drivers. Used a program on the PC to remove all the drivers for the tab off the PC and reinstalling them and everything went great from there.
I thought the program was called Dev view or something, but can't find it right now, but anyway google how to remove drivers from your win version and you should be able to manually remove the usb drivers pretty easily. I ended up removing every usb driver except my mouse and keyboard from Windows 7, installing the drivers for the tab downloaded from Samsung directly and haven't any problems since.
This may be a bit of overkill so you might want to wait for other fixes to be suggested too.
Good luck.
Edit: just noticed this in two other recent threads "MTP selected under settings/storage/USB computer connection" don't know if it's only related to ics, cause I don't have this option on my tab running Task 14 slim. So may be of no help what so ever.

I think Misledz just dealt with a tab with the red x on it. Please pm him if you would and tell him I sent you to point out this thread. I'm dealing with a lot of other things and may not be much help with my mind going a hundred different directions. I'm sure he can help get you on the right track quickly. one of his posts should be easy to find in general or q&a sections.
Don't tell him I said this but he's a great help.

lol, I will do that thanks.
Well, yeah sorry that I didn't reply via the PM as it tends to get flooded at times and I lose track of where and who sent the original Do forgive me for that.
The problem is the red X appears when you had the USB charge from the Overcome series, I'm pretty sure it's a lib file that conflicts with other ROM's and such, and they said there was a way to remove it, but it's dug somewhere underneath their thread, the best bet would be to attempt a factory reset, I do hope that your data is backed up via Titanium or something before you attempt this, because doing a factory reset via device *Not CWM* tends to reset all sorts of mods applied to the phone, and the user applications.
If you do attempt a factory reset do let me know You'd be surprised what a clean swipe can do (Problem is there isn't an external sd slot) so things tend to get left behind from other ROM's (The ones that aren't replaced anyway during installation)

How do you do that? Is that Clockwork, because I thought you needed to be rooted for that
Basically CFRoot is CWM+Root, CWM is just a custom recovery module made for flashing mods.
You need to select these options as shown, Ignore the pink walls

I appreciate your pictures and help, but I have no idea of getting to this point. Everywhere I read it says that I need to be rooted to have CWM, I am completely stock, no root.
Good sir, you don't need root to get to this point. Just flash CWM from the Overcome thread or anywhere, It's all over the Development section, Just flash it via Odin, I assume by this point you know how to use Odin? If you don't it's all good, I'm willing to help you with that too
I took the liberty of uploading CWM recovery for you,

Cheers,
Fitz
Edit: Oh good lord, I just realized since you don't have CWM you can't get the PC to recognize the tab itself, silly me. Have you tried putting it into download mode and seeing if the tablet is detected in Odin?
PS: Do you know what Odin is?

Ah no worries mate, it's all good I gain user knowledge like this Experience being the wisest mans weapon, they say
I think a combo of sdk/ADB and samsung drivers are enough to see odin. (if i remember right) Connected to odin without cwm many times before development. Uninstall any samsung applications and drivers(if applicable and separate from apps) Reinstall samsung drivers via installing "Kies", then install SDK... this combo should allow Odin to see your device. Odin is a samsung program licensed to samsung and therefor should not require root access or CWM.
If i remember correctly... sorry been quite a while
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
Yeah guys it didn't work. Even when in download mode and the SDK thing, nothing is recognized.
I chatted with a Samsung service rep for like an hour, I swear this guy must have been a robot. He told me to do what everyone else on this forum told me to do and it didn't work. He just told me to file a service request....yeah no.
I called this guy a magnificent bastard and my homeboy, and he didn't even give back the slightest emotion
Well, unless someone else can help me, I'm getting an iPad 3....I'll stick to Androids for my phone but going all Apple for my tablets. Getting sick of the sluggishness of Honeycomb, didn't even get to try ICS because of this issue.

LG P760 totally dead

Hello
is there any chance a kind person can help me with this dead stick?
a few information about this phone:
- as far as i was told, the phone died after an update
- when i plug the phone to the charger nothing appears on screen
- when i power the phone nothing happens
- when i volume up + power the phone nothing happen, same with volume down + power and volume up+down+power
i have installed the lg tools and using the imei downloaded a 600+MB package which should be the restore image of the phone but when the procedure starts to flash the image it gets stuck at 4% trying to connect to phone without any luck
if anyone has some ideas to give i would be very happy to try them!
the phone is dead. does it get hot when you connect it to the charger for some minutes? if yes, then it has shorted inside and you have to replace/repair it. same thing happened to my p765 and i had to get it replaced from lg.
Did you try to remove battery for a longer time and put it back? You can also try to remove SIM and SD card before inserting the battery.
thanks both of you for the replys.. makes me happy to be able to discuss this problem with someone..
i have been doing more testing. this are the new things i found out..
i have discharged the original battery by using it on a small circuit i have.. i then tested it with the tester and it was really low.. then i placed it back in the phone and left the phone charging all night to see if it would heat as noob.gamer said but it didn't.
interesting thing is that the battery is now charged again.. so i opened up the phone to look with the tester inside it..
looks like the charging microusb port works.. i can read about 5V on the pcb right where the connector is.. then i can read 3.3V right where the batter connect is.. when it is under charging, on the battery connector i can read much more than 3.3V which makes me suppose that the pcb is able to charge the battery afterall..
i just really can't understand why this thing doesn't give any sign of life.. power and volume buttons seem to close well when i press them, i can hear a small click.
is it possible that the phone motherboard can still charge the battery but has burned components on it?
components don't look very neat tbh, they all seems to have a black melt around.. here are some pics i did with another phone, sorry for quality

sorry, how can i do this?
do i have to enter software upgrade mode to be able to use the LG tools correctly? because this might explain why i wasn't able to flash it when i tried..
You have to press vol+ and then connect to usb(holding vol+), of course you have to be in SW Upgrade mode to get lg tool working
After you connected it, open LG tool and wait that it recognizes the phone

bah, sorry.. i have actually found a proper guide now here on xda.
so unfortunately i think i have a bigger problem here.. i have downloaded the universal lg drivers and installed them on a new computer, just to be sure to do everything from scratch correctly this time, and i then downloaded the lg support tools.
i started the tools which say the phone is not connected.. i then connected the usb to the pc.. then pressed vol+ and while it was pressed inserted the microusb to the phone. i tried it twice with the battery on and twice without the battery on.. (sd and sim are not in the phone)
unfortunately windows (xp) doesn't seem to recognize any device and doesn't install nothing. no new peripherals are detected in the device manager.
the lg suppor tools keep saying that the device is not attached and this btw was what i had with the other computer (when i just connected the phone without going into sw upgrade mode)..
Try to install drivers from lg tool, just to be sure that are right.
You should try also with another pc (win7) if you have this possibility, its strange that the tool doesnt recognize your phone in SW Upgrade Mode

i think there isn't much left to this phone sadly..
as you suggested i tried on another windows pc, this time 7.. i started directly the lg support tools and clicked on install drivers.. choose the lgp760 drivers and it downloaded them and installed them.. then i tried connecting the phone to the pc with the vol+ button pressed but nothing happens still..
is this sw upgrade mode suppose to start even without the battery?
edit: i tried rebooting the pc but still nothing has changed..

actually the phone is not mine. the person who gave it to me just told me this exact words:
"i was using the phone and received an update.. i downloaded it and installed it.. then i used the phone a 2 days and then it didn't work anymore."
this is all unfortunately.
when i try to start in sw update mode, nothing appears on screen.. i don't even hear the phone vibrating or making sounds.. nothing at all.
really looks totally dead.
try claiming the warranty. ..? and dnt mention root dev kdz words to them..just go ang say what your friend told u exact lines..and if u had open the lg l9 then pls screw it well and undetectable..and if possible..try sending a girl/older age(max 40 lol) woman to the lg service centre representatives..cuz they wont doubt a female doin root\black ops stuff on the phone..
remember there's a limit to xda work. .and that ends at hardware problems.

Funny thing, my p760 died yesterday with about the same symptoms and no way to get any vital sign of it. With the difference that the last update I did was like 3-4 weeks ago.
In my case seems like the back-top area gets a bit warm when charging, but I would say that just the usual. It might be, like someone said, a short circuit.
I guess it will not be a problem claiming the warranty and getting a new one. However I will not take the thing apart to be sure.
If you remove the phone battery and then, plug your phone to your computer, is there any signal on the USB port ? For example, on Windows, you should here a sound like if a device was plugged, unplugged, then plugged again, unplugged...
See this thread for more information :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090
If you don't have at least this reaction, you can assume the phone is really dead. Otherwise, you have probably a software issue with the bootloader or an hardware issue with the phone battery.

My bad, it is actually alive, and exactly as you said. I guess i didn´t press the combination properly :S. Seems like I might be able to update via "LG Support Tool" (vol+/power/usb). But first I need to try a backup, I would like to keep at least some photos I have on the phone.
Lets see if the sync software is able to do it...
---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:18 PM ----------
:/ As I expected the PC-sync software did not connect. And I don´t see any option to backup with the "support tool". Any options?
I suppose, the internal memory is just a memory card and I could just copy directly from the card, but I don´t want to take the phone apart (just in case a have to make use of the warranty in the end...)
Thanks in advance.
---------- Edit ----------
Well, the thing didn´t work out in the end. I tried upgrading with the "LG Support Tool" but the process never went further than 4%.
I will just return it, and I hope to get it back soon (or a new one... or whatever). In the meantime I can go back with my always reliable N5800

Unable to Install TWRP

Hello Everyone,
I pray all had a wonderful weekend. I am a frequent visitor to this site and love all the advice and work many of you do. Thanks for all the support this far!
I searched through the forum to see if I could find some similar issues but was unsuccessful at finding it. I currently have the LG V10 (LG-H901) by T-Mobile running 5.1.1. I was able to successfully unlock the bootloader via fastboot. I came across the issue when I tried to install TWRP-2.8.7.1-h901.img. It would go through fine on CMD but just would not go through on the phone. The fastboot menu would boot up strangely (After unlocking the bootloader) with the text all pixelated in a way. You are unable to read the words. The phone works fine. It happened to me on two phones so it must be something that I am doing incorrectly but just can't find it on Google or this forum. I apologize if I messed and and hate to start a new thread if its here but no such luck finding it. Anyone experience this before or might have some advice? Thanks!

If it happened on two phones. Then it's likely a step you are overlooking. The biggest thing you need to consider when working on a new device is making sure you have ALL prerequisites before flashing, fastbooting, adb, etc.
- Make sure you have LG usb drivers installed, then reboot your PC.
- Install ADB system-wide
- Turn on OEM unlock in your Dev-settings
- Make sure USB debugging in ticked AND you allow always for the connected PC.
Then start here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/guide-how-to-root-lg-v10-easy-t3274699

I will give this another try when I get home from work. I am pretty sure I did all that was said but like you stated seems I missed a step somewhere. By going through the steps here over again, even though I went through I might have gone through them already, would that cause any damage? If not I will just go through step one all over again. I did not get the instructions from here so I want to start from the very beginning with the link you posted. Thanks!

Make sure you did not forget , or it got reset, go into developer settings and enable Oem Unlock, I know 2 people that kept missing this step for a week.

Thanks! I've made sure that's been on from the get go. Forgot I had class today so I am waiting to fly outa here to try this out. I will be sure to update this thread with my results. Any other advice is in the mean while is always welcome.
I first checked if all things above were checked off in the Dev options. They both were the Enable OEM unlock and USB Debugging. I then went in and tried the one click. It booted into fastboot fine but when it gets to the point where its suppose install TWRP the phone itself does nothing. CMD executes fine. The phone just stays where the screen tells you some of the fastboot instructions. From some other sites and videos online it suppose to install TWRP and you can boot right into it.
When you restart the phone you get the message that the bootloader is unlocked on the top left corner. I can't get to the recovery to see if it was even installed. Doesn't seem like it was.
This last step is killing me as I know once I get through this I am rooted. I can try doing it step by step again but feel like I will get the same results. Worth a shot anyways.
When I do "adb reboot recovery" I get a dead android with a red exclamation mark.
