LG LS660P soft bricked (Please Help) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

H Hi all,
My friend has (I think) soft bricked his LG tribute from sprint. It doesn't charge correctly when plugged into a laptop or the original charger that came with the phone. It just shows the loading battery symbol. However, if you leave it on the charger for about 5-10mins, it will show something up in the top left hand corner of the screen like
[101160] fastboot_init ()
[101260] USB init ept @ 0xffe5000
[101280] udc_start ()
Oh, something that I also forgot to mention is that the phone thinks the battery is at 0% every time I plug it back into the charger, even though I have sufficiently charged it using an external charger. Even when I try to get into recovery mode, the phone won't let me sometimes, because of the supposedly "low" battery percentage. I want to get this phone back up and running, so if ANY of you guys have the same device as me, I need the stock Rom for this device. I have been googling for hours with no luck (the roms that I found weren't in the correct format I needed) A .kdz format is required in order to flash through LG flash tool. Also, take note that this device has NEVER had a custom recovery installed on it, or flashed in any way. If any of you guys have or have found a link to the stock rom file, PLEASE link it in the thread. Thanks!!

Edit: I have found the rom file and have flashed it, and i was able to restore it to factory settings. Consider this thread closed!!!!

[Q] Weird charging problem

My friend is having some problems charging his Atrix. Basically, the phone will not charge or recognize a charger at all except for under certain circumstances.
Some background info: I helped him unlock his bootloader and install 4.5.91 way back when it came out. No problems there, it went well. All was fine until the 4.5.141 OTA update came around. He got the OTA notification and clicked update because he didn't know anything bad would happen. Luckily it didn't brick him like it did a lot of people, but he said it gave him an error message during the install and it would not boot after that, stuck at the Motorola dual core screen. I took a look at it and managed to get into recovery and flash back to 4.5.91. All was fine until it was time to charge the phone. It wouldn't recognize any charger. I tried flashing to tons of different roms, wiping everything, even restored a full nandroid recovery from my working Atrix on it. His phone will charge and will be recognized by a computer immediately after we flash a new rom, and will continue to charge for as long as we leave it plugged in, but if we unplug it then after a short time (like under 30 mins) it will not recognize a charger if we plug it in again. Wiping data alone will not make it start charging again, only actually installing a new rom will. Deleting battery stats does nothing. The closest we have gotten to fixing it was when I made a nandroid on my Atrix and then restored it on his (my backup was from Joker's CM9); after the restore, it would charge for a while, and we unplugged it and waited to see if it would do the same thing as it always did and stop recognizing a charger after a few minutes. About 30 minutes later it stopped recognizing the charger as usual. We played with the USB debugging setting (enable, plug in, see if it recognized the charger, disable, plug in, see if it recognized it, etc) and after messing with that setting a lot it recognized the charger once, but then when we unplugged it the phone wouldn't recognize the charger again. We could not reproduce this again.
To summarize what we have tried and found to work:
-flashing a rom will let the phone charge/let a computer recognize it for as long as we leave it plugged in after the first boot (we have tried every rom under the sun, they all do the same thing)
-restoring from a nandroid backup will have the same effect as flashing a rom
What we have tried that didn't work:
-different cords; have tried them all, both OEM cord and third party, this is not the problem
-wiping all data/factory reset doesn't do anything
-cache wipe doesn't do anything
-wiping battery stats doesn't do anything
I have also tried fastboot flashing back to 4.5.91, CWMing back to 4.5.91, using the unbrick scripts and stock restore scripts people have made, nothing will fix it.
If anyone has any suggestions or can refer me to anywhere with more info on this I would appreciate it, I have searched high and low and can't find anyone with a problem quite like this one. I don't even know if it's a hardware or software problem, if you guys know a way to determine this it would be helpful.
Have you tried a wall charger?
Yeah, both the stock one and a different one I have, neither work.
No one has any advice or ideas on this? Does anyone know if Moto does repairs in this type of situation with a voided warranty because of an unlocked bootloader, or does anyone know who may be able to fix this if I can't get any help from the forums or figure it out on my own?

[Q] odin failed, flash recovery.bin cwm

i was trying to root a phone for someone and after odin completed it said it had failed.
the phone is a telus samsung t959d running froyo.
I followed the instructions from (I would post the url for the link but i am not allowed to.)cyanogenmod's wiki, after it failed I rebooted the phone and it got stuck on the screen in the attached pic. I have tried to boot back into download mode to no avail. From the screen it's stuck on I cannot get any tool to register the device as being present, adb, heimdall, zdiag, etc... I even tried fastboot out of desperation.Before I used odin I tried to get the phone to boot into the bootloader but it only ever went to either recovery or a normal boot and I tried every button press combo I could think of and found and nada.
Even running adb reboot bootloader just made the device boot normally. I think that if I could get it to boot to fastboot usb i could then try fastboot. I am new to rooting devices and have successfully rooted my HTC EVO3D and got s-off and simlock removed for any carrier. So I do know how to follow instructions properly, why flashing the recovery.bin failed I don't know and every fix I seem to find says BOOT TO DOWNLOAD MODE. if I could do that I wouldn't be having this problem lol. Anyway can someone please help me figure this out. Thanks. ANd if you need any further info please let me know. I don't want to have to give my friend my phone due to a software issue.
And YES I did pick PDA not anything else.

I kept reading other threads and sadly I din't pully the battery first before disconnecting the usb and repartition may have been checked as I see that it does the as default for my version. Also i turned off ODIN as I was hoping a reboot of my computer might help. I will keep trying to find an answer till someone gets back to me. this post may not even show up if I can't do a second post if no one has replied first.
Everyone was a nub at one time wasn't it FUN hahahahahaha sob cry

I tried a jig and that didn't work. There must be some way of getting the device to give up on completing a task i no longer can give it due to ODIN being shut off.
Why is it that the "how to root/unlocks" never have the "if x fails then do these steps etc..." Had the how to had "pull the battery before disconnecting USB and don't reset or shut off ODIN" I wouldn't be in this mess. I realize that it's user beware but a few important steps like that in case of a fail would go a long way to you guys not shaking your heads. Instead of "silly nub hahahahahaha". No offence but I get that a lot and try to remember that when I teach someone how to use a computer. I am new at phones not at everything.
Further Developments Please can someone help?
I was giving someone a new memory card and they had a Samsung SGH-I896 it has an EB575152VA battery and the one I have the T959D has an EB575152VU battery. I exchanged my battery for hers by accident somehow and when I plugged my phone in it didn't go to the phone triangle computer logo screen it booted to recovery and said it couldn't charge the battery and kept rebooting to recovery. I got my battery back and it booted back to the phone triangle computer logo again. Grrrr....
The other thing I saw while the recovery screen was an error message that said
Code:
E:/data/fota not accessible
(may not be 100% accurate I don't have the battery to check right now but can get it again if need be) anyway I now see that there may be some light at the end of the tunnel. i have the correct stock firmware for the device I tried flashing it while in recovery but the phone kept rebooting before anything got done. My question is how can I get the dang phone to stop asking for Odin and go to recovery so I can flash stock firmware and ROM back to it? As I cannot as far as I know give it what it wants because I reset Odin and nothing seems to see that the phone is connected to the computer. I am going to try the other battery on a full charge to see what that does.
I am new at all this and want to get it fixed. I cannot afford to send it off to a service center and besides that I want to do it myself as I want to become a developer and droid technician. I would gladly donate to anyone but am still trying to get Google to accept my pay-as-you-go credit card and I don't have PayPal either. Which is really frustrating when it comes to giving back. I posted a Q&A on how to without PayPal or CC but as of the last time I checked no one has gotten back to me about it.
The CyanogenMod guide is flat out WRONG. I've tried to change it, but anything I do is reverted in an instant. I also tried to use it to install the ROM only, ended up bricking my phone and it took me hours to unbrick. That's how I became acquainted with XDA.
So, to get this straight:
1. you're using the stock USB cable
2. you remove the battery
3. you hold volume down
4. you plug in the usb cable
5. after a few seconds, you release volume down
6. the screen does not display a yellow triangle with an android

That is correct. If you think that my idea below is a bad one or if I downloaded the wrong firmware package please let me know and /or you have a fix that will work? ty
I have though come up with an idea that may work. I am going to charge the "wrong" battery in erm the right phone lol and then use it to trick the device into booting into recovery instead of the cellphone triangle computer (CTC, for want of a better acronym) The I896 battery ends in a V not an ? (sorry can't rem don't have it on me) from the I896 model I think it is, plugging it into USB with the power off sends it to recovery with the "battery cannot be charged " message instead of the CTC screen.
I tried it but the charge in the battery was too low and rebooted. I am hoping that with a full charge (as long as I don't power on the phone first as this will make it go to CTC logo again.
I am hoping that I can install the update.zip that I made by first unzipping the T959UVJFD_firmware.tar I downloaded then unpacked and then repacked into an update.zip as I don't think that it will read the package as a tar file and if it's not called update.zip The recovery is still stock. If I get the phone working I am not going to try unlocking and rooting it again. I will just post two separate adverts one as a carrier locked device and the other one (higher of course to cover buying the unlock from Telus) as carrier unlocked and then I will buy the unlock code if the blah blah you get the drift. sorry for rambling on.
oh and I can't rem if I said this or not, In recovery it "E:/data/fota not accessible" I don't know what that means yet I have been busy with other things and haven't looked it up yet.
Since you can get into at least some version of recovery, your bootloader is intact and you should be able to unbrick it. You ought to be able to get into download mode using a download jig. You can get one on ebay for a few bucks or you can make one yourself. There's a guide floating around here somewhere that lets you make one from a microusb cable.

[Q] Possible hard brick, wont boot into ANYTHING

Okay, I want to start by saying I am truly sorry if this has already been looked at. I truly spent 20 minutes searching and could not find anything that address this problem.
Im going to give you the long story because, I am actually really in need of help.
My friends owns a droid x2, ?.?.5 (sorry I cant honestly remember but, its the gingerbread ending in .5)
Her husband decided to root her phone for her, and it was in Chinese and only had a partial root. Frustrated she brought it to me because, well I have a working knowledge of google, this forum, and have flashed and rooted many phones.
I managed to change the language, and root the phone (using DX2_batchroot), I installed a custom recovery (its an apk ), I also think I installed the Recovery BSR (that will make sense in a second)
I booted into custom recovery, I made a backup. Then I went about wiping caches so I could install a custom rom. I wiped all the caches, I formatted the internal memory, and then I accidentally hit "boot now".
The phone gets the the "M" and says "Failed to boot 1"
If I try holding the power and down button it just flips off completly.
I cant scroll thru the menu, I cant get the computer to acknowledge its on.
It has been plugged in the hole time.
So what do I do, and what DID I do, so I never do it again.
Thank yo
Update
Since this happened I have left it on the wall charger and checked it out occasionally.
Well it still won't boot into recovery but... It is now willing to play ball when I press volume down and then plug in to the computer. Sadly it then tells me that the battery is too low.
Now, I *guess* it could be, except after rooting and before rebooting into recovery to make my first backup I had the phone off andplugg ed into a wall charger for 2 hours.
Again, any help you can offer
Often if ROM won't boot, charging does not work either.
Will need a charged battery, or a TBH factory cable adaptor.
See my low battery options in my list.

How to recover bricked Elephone P9000Lite

Hello guys,
I am really in need of help. For reason that does not matter any more I have tried to root my phone and now it is unable to start. I followed the steps listed in the below tutorial:
bbs.elephone.hk/thread-9919-1-1.html
However after following some steps, video tutorials and further confusions I ended up trying to "Firmaware Upgrade" my phone with SPFlash Tool, but unfortunately the process was ended prematurely and my phone is not able to start at all (black screen and no reaction from any button). I understand that everyone must take responsibility for the consequences followed by rooting a phone, but I wanted to ask you guys if I am able to recover the phone or I would need to buy a new one.
Here is more detailed information of what I tried and what is the problem I am experiencing:
- Error that I see when I try to "Format & Download" (or any other option / action that SPFlash tool has):
BROOM ERROR : STATUS_PRELOADER_INVALID (-1073545212)
[HINT]:
- What I tried:
1. Reinstalling the drivers because I tought that they are incorrect. Every downloaded dirver results to the same error and I believe that the issue is not related to the dirvers at all (I use Windows 7 Ultimate with the SP_Driver_v2.0).
2. Tried using different versions for SPFlash Tool, but it appears that only the latest ones works with the scatter file that I have (MT6755_Android_scatter.txt). Versions that I tried are - v5.1552; v5.1524; v5.1620; and after trying evrything I believe that the issue is not related to the used tool nor scatter file.
My conclusion is that somewhere along the way I re-formatted my phone, but since the processes ended prematurely this may have disrupted the correct format of the internal storage.
Is is possible to recover from this and if it is what steps / actions should I take to do so. I would really appreciated some help of you guys and will be glad if the phone is working back (promise to stop being a "hacker").
Best Regards,
A fellow that need helps or a new phone
I just wanted to add that I was able to recover my phone. YEY!!!!
For those of your who ran to the same problem here is what I did to restore the phone from the boot loop:
1. Remove the battery - this is quite a tricky part, but if you follow the steps and be careful there should not be any problems:
- Remove the back from the phone - since it is no meant to be easily removed you could use a plastic card and start from the top of the phone (where the ear jack is located).
- After that you would need to remove the top plastic cover - it is placed to protect the main board and all modules. You would need a small "Philips" screwdriver in order to remove all screws. Note that there is one hidden screw that is placed on the middle bottom part of the plastic cover. You could recognize it by the elephone logo placed on top of it.
- Once the plastic cover is removed you will see the connector of the battery. Remove so that the device is actually turned off.
2. Download a STOCK ROM for your device:
- The STOCK ROM for Elephone P9000Lite was downloaded from here:
4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=697579&st=20#entry47838700
All required images along with the scatter.txt file should present inside the downloaded archive.
3. Flash the ROM by using SPFlash tool:
- What I did here is to follow a tutorial that is specifically for hard bricked devices:
devs-lab.com/how-to-unbrick-mediatek-device.html
In my case I had to use the Format + Download option in SPFlash tool and select all images to be flashed. The important part was that the phone's battery had to be disconnected, all images selected by clicking the "Format + Download" option and finally hit the "Download" button. Once this is done you can connect the battery again and connect the device to your computer.
After the process is completed the device can be powered on and it should start booting.
I hope that I can help someone with these steps and that you do not give up on your phone.
Best Regards,
Happy fellow that resurrected his pone
I've bricked my other devices before and all i had to do to fix it, was remove the battery and format & download the original software. As you meantioned, with P9000 (same as with the Lite version), the problem is non-removable back cover and battery. Thank you for this tutorial, but it'd be better is somebody make a video tutorial or just add any media at all as many people might not want to do it, because of fear to break something under the back cover
Thanks for this, I am currently in the same position you were. I've cracked open the phone and am just trying to work out which connector feeds the power from the battery. I was pretty sure my problem was repairable so wasn't too stressed, but I hadn't thought to attempt to open the phone up like you did. It was surprisingly easy, and I don't think I'll have done any permanent damage. I'm hoping I can get the phone going again without any data loss, I was trying to flash recovery when I bricked it so hopefully I simply flash TWRP and she boots again.

Hello all. I softbricked my phone while attempting to flash TWRP, and ended up with a phone that wouldn't present anything on screen. So I've located an old XP computer to rule out any driver issues, and using the battery removal mentioned above I was able to flash the factory 20160422 firmware which is what I believe my phone had before I started tinkering. I unticked the userdata box as I flashed it, and left the recovery box ticked which I thought would fix any corrupt recovery that my tinkering caused. The flash took some time, but I got the green tick indicating that it went well. However I still get nothing on screen, the only time I get anything is when I plug it into charge, I get a green battery charge icon for a few seconds before it fades away. If I leave it plugged in for a while, the screens starts to faintly flash sporadically. Does anyone have any advise for me? @awedxz, could you please confirm that the battery connection is on the far left, a shiny copper ribbon with a small silver rectangle plug that clicks into the board?

Let it to charge more time
Thanks mate, this advise was spot on. It must have had 0% battery after fixing it! It's now alive and charging up. How neat that Mediatek devices can be unbricked so easily, although I'll have to be a bit more careful in future I think! My previous devices have been Motorola, HTC and Samsung devices, each with different tools and flashing techniques. Haven't bricked any of them in the past, but it's nice knowing this device will be hard to permanently brick.

Had the same problem, a small cable that goes from the power button was disconnected. Connect the cable and it should run just fine
Just to chime in, I soft bricked my phone as well.
I managed to get it back to life, without taking the phone apart, so that is not a necessity.
Here's what happened: I had CM13 installed on the phone and wanted to go back to stock, so I flashed it according to the guides, also overwriting the preloader.
After that, the phone was dead, as in unable to turn on, no charger detection etc.
As is already known, this phone has an "emergency" line / device, that will turn on once you connect it to the computer and press the VOL+ button (the device will show up for a couple seconds in the Windows device manager).
So what I tried was to flash it again and again, to no avail; sp_flashtool reported the following error after trying to flash the preloader: "BROM ERROR - STATUS_EXT_RAM_EXCEPTION (-1073414139)"
Finally I tried different stock roms, from the Elephone forum.
The one that did the trick for me was the 20160304 - I loaded the scatter file into sp_flash tool and only flashed the preloader. After that, Windows suddenly recognized the phone as the preloader device, the screen turned on showing the charging image and the notification led lit up. I was able to flash the phone without errors again.
After that I flashed the rest of the stock firmware - without the preloader.
I then let the phone charge a little bit and it turned back on.
If that version of the preloader does not do the trick for you, try different ones.
No need to take the phone apart.
Good luck everyone!
For everyone's else information having this problem. I also bricked my P9000 whilst flashing TWRP and getting the RAM error. I tried every options possible but the only one that worked was to disconnect the battery. It is actually a very easy process as described as above. The battery connector is the small connector nearest to the volume buttons with the bronze coloured connector cable. It simply lifts up and your battery is disconnect. I changed the settings in SP FLASH to without battery and my phone flashed without any problems. Before this, it had been dead for over a week and all other methods failed to wake it up. Hope this helps.

Hi everyone! I had the same problem (bricked phone not recognised by flash tool ecc ecc) and disconnecting the battery did the trick, but I may have messed up with some
The screen connectors and now the screen lits up but stays black. Sounds and touch screen work (I can unlock the screen because I hear the unlock sound), but the screen stays black... If I have damaged the connector (I think it's the one on the upper left, the thinner one that doesn't really click when inserted) there is not much to do, but I just wanted to know If anyone had the same issue and eventually resolved it.

Stock LG G3 Won't Get Past Boot Screen & Won't Turn On

Hello, I have a stock Verizon LG G3, updated to whatever the latest update was a few days ago. As of yesterday, my phone won't charge or generally turn on. I have 3 batteries and same issue with all of them. Here's whats been happening:
After not touching it for a few hours, the phone can turn on, but it only makes it to the LG G3 black logo screen, sits there for a few seconds, then turns off. You literally have to wait an hour or so for it do turn on again, otherwise you can't do anything.
Charging doesn't work, no response, no LED on phone. Taking out SIM, battery, etc.. waiting, still doesn't work. The batteries are fine, I've charged all 3 in a separate wall charger.
Been searching since last night, found something I thought would work - pulled battery and SIM, waited a while, plugged phone in without battery and an icon with a question mark on the battery came up, put the battery in and the phone did show it was charging, battery was at 99%. Thought it would turn on, but when I booted it went to the LG G3 logo screen then went black/turned off again. Couldn't get it back on.
I'm stuck right now, this is a stock phone, never rooted, never did any custom roms. Phone is out of warranty (got in 10/2014), verizon is no help. Please any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!!
Hi.
Look under the battery and see if the "VS985" model number there lists a "K" stock as VS985WK. If not, and it probably won't since yours is "old" like mine, proceed with the following.
Flash the 10B TOT. Ignore anything in the following that mentions root, TWRP or of course flashing custom ROMs and Bootstacks.

I'd recommend pulling the SIM and Micro SD card out while the phone's off while doing both of these flashes. Sometimes someone's IMEI is wiped when flashing and I've had my Micro SD card wiped exactly once (among several dozens of times flashing).
You could in theory go straight to flashing the KDZ but it might not fix it. TOTs fix things KDZs can't.
