I am very familiar with the process. Rooted, sideloading for apps is all done. I have flashed my device with JM2, JH2, and the 1.2 OC. Now when I try to flash it doesn't work. I tried last night with no luck. I decided to master clear the device since I was having issues and wanted to start back with a fresh device. Now after trying to flash the JH3 from JF6 with Unleash the beast it wont work.
I also tried flashing with one click root, and superrooter from a fresh Odin one click. Usb debugging is enabled, Odin opened and then get into download mode. So my process from when it would work is now not working haha? So beyond my confusion of what I might be forgetting can anyone think of something that might help? I didn't want to put this in the dev section since there is nothing specifically made up for odin 3, only odin one click restore.

Your drivers are messed up... grab the ones from the odin thread and reinstall with the phone plugged in and in download mode.

Reloaded the drivers and still get the message. Any other suggestions would be helpful.

Try un-selecting the other options? (auto reboot/time)
I had a similar error message when the "repartition" was selected. Just an idea...

Gave that a shot but no luck
I am almost resigned to the fact I might be stuck with JF6 until Froyo gets pushed out OTA (if/when that happens). I just can't believe it has me this stumped.
Can busybox, the older superuser, anything like that cause this issue? When I wiped back to stock I loaded Unleash the beast because I prefer the older superuser (ninja guy). When I first got my phone I did the adb code for sideloading after doing one click root. That process isn't different from what the guys that made the UTB and Superrooter update.zip files is it?
Well tried running Odin as an administrator and that didn't work haha. Worth a shot.

I dont really know if that could be the cause or not. Im actually having trouble wiping all the data from my phone (I have my own thread, but it could be related). I used Odin 1 click, I used the regular Odin and did everything manually, tried master reset, and also did a factory data reset. Tons of data still on my phone, though. I was contributing it to titanium backup, but it may be things installed from super rooter

Anyone else have an idea that I might try?
Now even Odin one click comes up with this message??? I am really baffled with this situation.
Update: Got Odin one click to work again, I wiped my user data through clockwork. After this reloads I am going to try and do sideloading via the adb codes rather then using UTB or superrooter to see if that makes a difference for me. Still could use any suggestion on what else people have tried in this situation, if you have been in this before.
Sweet life

Still stumped by this issue if anyone has any help for me. Also could this be moved to the new Q&A section. Thanks.

Do you use the Kies program and if so has it ran an update lately, I had it on my Win7 laptop and when it ran the software update it totally hosed up my drivers and I could not connect to my phone anymore... I had to uninstall Kies and remove all my drivers and then reboot my laptop then I only reinstalled the Samsung drivers and now I can connect again. I won't be using Kies anymore..Anyways I thought I would share my experience in case it might help you..

I haven't used kies since I first got the phone to put contacts in. But I just tried again to give it a whirl and got it to load the kernel. Hell if I know why it worked today compared to before hahaha.

Samsung Infuse bricked

I've been lurking here for a long time, and had all kinds of fun flashing my HTC Fuze, Tilt 2, and Samsung Captivate. I now have an Infuse. I've had it for a while, and it's been rooted for a long time, but due to slow support here on the forums for it, and the fact that AT&T it taking forever with Gingerbread, I decided to wait a while to try to flash Gingerbread.
So, I finally decided by looking at the Gingerbread roms coming out that it was time to try to flash. I spent quite a few hours reading threads here on the forums, downloading gtg's unbrick, the Heimdall one click, and other files. I also finally got CWM installed on my phone. (Blue version).
So, I chose to use the Heimdall one-click to flash my phone to gingerbread and get the gingerbread bootloaders. I fired up Heimdall, installed the driver, clicked flash, and watched it go. Unfortunately it DIDN'T go. It stopped pretty much instantly. I figured no problem, there was no way it had had time to alter any files yet. WRONG. All I get when I turn the phone on now is a solid white screen. It did give me a multi-colored pixel arrangement at first, but now it's solid white. Odin will still recognize the phone, but it stalls as soon as it gets to factoryfs.
Any suggestions? Or am I fully bricked?
If u can get to download mode use Odin...much better in my opinion

Odin recognizes the phone. It tries to flash but stops once it gets to factoryfs. (Using GTG's Ultimate Unbrick). Also, even tho I'm pretty sure the phone is getting into download mode because Odin recognizes it, the screen stays completely white.
Try a different USB cable, a different USB port or a different computer. My rig got to the point that it would fail just like you are describing 90 percent of the time
I finally gave up and used heimdall to flash a kernel only, then I used cwm to flash a ROM from a zip. You don't have to use ultimate unbrick, just unbrick manually by flashing only a custom kernel. Any kernel will do, just not stock
I reinstalled windows a few Weeks later and it has flashed perfectly with heimdall and Odin ever since.
Tried all of those so far except a different cable. Gonna try the cable from my old captivate.
The problem with hemidall is that if your not experienced using it you can do more damage than harm..you can ask dani897 if he knows how to fix it since hemidall caused it
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Well seems like the cable was the issue. I noticed the old cable from my captivate feels thicker and heavier. Dunno why. Gonna try working with it a bit more. My screen is working again tho.
Well, I have to say thanks to Demonspork! Using my other usb cable did the trick. I'm gonna save that cable just for flashing. It took a couple flashes with GTG's Ultimate Unbrick to finally get it to the point of fully booting up but I'm good to go now.
I'm assuming you're running ubuntu like I am since you used heimdall. Often times you will get rainbows when running heimdall... Not sure why though.
you can either run gtg's unbrick through wine on ubuntu, or use a windows machine to revert to stock.
The infuse is impossible to brick... Trust me, I've had more than, my share of issues.
Trouble! Got a brick
I have 2 Samsung Infuse phones. I updated my phone easily. I tried my wife's phone with the anti-brick program and this is what I got:

That is still download mode. Try to Odin/heimdall a compatible package. Not real sure what you are doing. Gingerbread leaks?

odin3 v1.7 should work with your device... I have bee doing my infuse again and again... now i have 2.3.6 but it is too slow and catch lots of heat while charging.. so i don't give damn i am downgrading to frayo.. just put in download mod and odin should recognize your device...
Yeah, the !--->(PC) screen just means, "OK, you borked up my system, but I'm in download mode and ready for you to install a new one!"
IF you were using HEIMDALL, try downloading your ROM to the phone again. If it doesn't work, you may have to select the option to install a kernel as well. I bad to do this a couple times. However, always FIRST try without install a new kernel.
(Please correct me if the above is wrong...I mean if whatever the OP is talking about needs a new kernel...)
Also, what difference would a different USB cable make? Just curious. Is it just that the first one the OP tried was faulty?

Odin 1.81 has worked well for me. I just check off PDA and point it to the tar.md5 file that comes with it.
Where do I get Odin 1.8?
Just reflashed with the original file and all is back to normal. Back to 2.2.1

[Q] Problems with LGP999 Wind

A friend and I were trying to update his Wind LGP999 phone from 2.2 to 2.3. So we followed the instructions from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929 and things were going good until we got to the connection part. The program continues to freeze and close and the phone is stuck on the s/w update please wait while updating screen. Now we've tried hard reset and even tried to reinstall V10G_00 but the program still freezes. I've been doing some research and unless I haven't searched enough I haven't seen any thread or post with someone with the same problem. So any help in this would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Done some more research and found How To Load a Custom ROM by David Cogen from The Unlockr and follower his steps and things seemed to work out pretty well but I still get this screen

You need to use nvflash to install clockwork recovery then you will be able to install whichever rom you want. There are a few threads out there showing how to install the recovery permanently.
Don't worry you aren't bricked

Thanks for the post but I've already used nvflash to install CWR and have tried multiple roms and all have ended in the same way. I know I've been doing it right because I even followed the video from the unlockr to the T but at the end where he reboots I instead get the same screen in my earlier post. Is it possible I'm doing something wrong or maybe using the wrong roms?
Its most likely you are just missing a step somewhere. Try heading to the Hellfire rom help thread and read through there see if your missing something.... Usually this is a cut and dry process I don't see how its not working for you ...

Thanks for thee help I really do appreciate it. And I do believe I found the missing step, some where along the line I thought flashing and rooting where the same so when I flashed CWR I didn't root the phone before I started. And since I'm stuck on that screen does that mean I pretty much screwed?

Not at all. Just use nvflash rom for recovery. It will put completely stock tmo 2.3.3 . On phone, sorry no links. Search for that and it should give you a bootable phone. Then just nvflash cwm recovery and flash rom of choice. Don't forget to wipe data. No root required.
I dunno if mentioned before but when I used the method from these links http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929 & http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781 once I had gotten to installer update part it had a connection error which brought me to my present situation also now whenever i tried to repeat the process the program freezes and crashes.

No white LG logo? Or nothing at all? Which link were you following? If it was the first one, then you may want to try it again, I was in the same situation. Not even backlight worked, but I used the NVflash script again and it booted to T-Mobile official 2.3.3 unrooted. Did you hold the volume buttons the entire time?

[Q] Razr HD reflashing need help!!!!

Hi, I have Razr HD from Verizon which is currently running Roger's firmware: 98.21.122002.XT925.RCI.en.CA (android 4.1.2), baseband: vanquish_u_bp_100700.220.65.33p bulid number: 9.8.2q-8-xt925_vql-12.2.
I am having problem connecting this thing to my pc.

The USB composite part gets installed but rest of the interfaces dont. I even tried using Motorola's software to update the drivers but still no go.
My phone is unlocked and I am using a different carrier, and I was wondering if I can reflash it to the newer Verizon firmware (4.1.2) would that take away my unlock? Also is there a way to reflash the same firmware (4.1.2) that I got above.
Also when I go into storage and click on USB connection and then click on MTP, and as soon as I exit out of that window, and go back to check if MTP is still checked it I find that it automatically gets unchecked. (Mainly this is my problem which is why I'm seeking to reflash my firmware in hopes to fix the issue and that the drivers won't get installed).
Any help would be appreciated!!!

Have you tried on another PC?
Don't blame an OS if you flashed Rogers (XT925 firmware) on a Verizon device (XT926) and something went wrong that's your fault.
Read which drivers its looking for. Looks like XT925. You don't even have that, download the drivers manually and try again

I have tried 5 different PC's with no result. I tried to look for manual drivers but couldn't find any on the web, and if you mean to say driver's from Motorola's website, well, I have already tried those and they didn't work. Everything else works fine beside connecting to the PC, and the only way for me to transfer files from my iPhone is through SD Card which is a pain. I would appreciate it if you direct me to the right place to download drivers manually.
Any clues why a phone would show up under adb devices when connected in normal mode, but not show up when in fastboot? I really wanna unlock my phone...

This is the problem !
The thing is I got the phone with that OS installed on it. That is why I was wondering if i can reflash it to verizon firmware and if i do that will i still maintain my unlock. Also I know how to mess around with iPhones but no clue what how to do it with androids. So any help in right direction or if it is possible to flash it to verizon firmware would be helpful.
It can't be done, it can be done? something of a reply would be nicer than pure silence.
dude, what are you trying to unlock? bootloader or network? I believe flashing whatever u want will NOT impact either:good:
Sorry didn't follow your query
OK so this is what I'm trying to do... I got the phone with above firmware as mentioned in my first post. I can't connect to the PC using the USB and I believe its because of the jelly bean version I got. So I am trying to reinstall a different version of jelly bean. My phone is from Verizon and I was thinking of installing Verizon's version of jelly bean and was wondering how can I do that and if I end up installing Verizon's jelly bean would that effect my unlock.
flashing verizon will NOT make you lose network unlock. So flash away, try another micro usb cable if you have one laying around, just in case.
JB wont screw up pc detecting the MOTO.
when yout MOTO is plugged in, gointo device manager and see if it is showing under portable device, just to make sure the driver is properly installed

Thanks for the confirmation. Now my only problem is how exactly I do a flash to Verizon's JB. I'm not a computer noob its just I am android noob. For years I was on iPhone and I know how to do stuff on that but not On android... Also I have tried changing 4 different cables three Motorola ones and one from different company and I have tired 4 or 5 different computers as well. The problem is the drivers don't get installed I have downloaded the stuff from Motorola's website and it still doesn't work.
So my question is what is the procedure to flash my firmware to Verizon's firmware. Is there a really good guide out there? I know people will say go search for one but I just wanted to ask the community first so that I don't end up finding a bad guide on my own and brick my phone.

Really confusing softbrick (small reward offered for fix)

TLDR: LGUP will just straight up not recognize my G5 no matter what. I'll give you five bucks on Paypal for a solution, if that means anything.

Hi guys, I try to avoid posting, but I've searched high and low for an answer and I really can't find it.
I've got a T-Mobile LG G5 H830, that I have recently rooted and installed TWRP on it. Last night, I decided to try changing a value in build.prop, stupidly without making a backup first and after I changed the value and rebooted, stuck at T-Mobile bootscreen, go figure. All I did was change a value from false to true for adoptable storage..
Anyway-- I tried factory resetting, I tried flashing that FLUENCE rom I found somewhere here on XDA, I've tried just about every thing I could, before I gave up and decided it would be easier to just revert back to stock and unroot. I wasn't really utilizing root for more than Titanium Backup anyway.
To the point; I've got the LG UP program installed, I've got the DLL for it installed and inserted, and the appropriate .tot file to flash it back to factory default. No matter what I do, no matter how many different COM ports I try, different drivers I've tried etc, I cannot get it to read my phone in download mode. ADB mode works in TWRP still, but this is driving me insane. The only other phone I have is a busted up BlackBerry Priv, and I want this phone working again asap.
If someone can shed some light on whatever the hell I'm doing wrong, it would mean the world to me.
Please.
P.S: yes I've tried just about every USB port on my computer, and I've tried restarting Windows many times.
you have tried jiggling it?
You know what? Hell, if someone finds me a working solution to my problem, I will personally paypal them five dollars. I just want this fixed. I've had LG G3s brick on me obnoxiously and then never come back from it, I don't know what it is about LG phones.. Samsung phones, Nexus phones, and basically any other Android phones I've worked on aren't nearly this hard to restore and repair.

Use the twrp restore file in the development thread it will revert your build prop back, and from there your phone will work again. Editing build prop is not advised on the H830 has been discussed on numerous threads even before root was established. At least it's only a soft brick .
Have you tried jiggling it perhaps?

Not holding my breath lol. That's why I declined any of the root bounty.
Try manually pointing to either the lg drivers, or adb drivers had that same problem when trying to root H830.

IDK if u fixed it or not, but i have a simular issue where LGUP does not recognize my phone. i'm guessing it could be the buildprop could have broken it. i have factory reset my phone, but upon turning on wifi, the phone crashes and i need to factory reset. i am rooted and retain root. My guess is that changing the buildprop causes the phone to be unrecognized. I did backup my buildprop but its stuck in an encrypted backup. Thanks alot gooogle...
Same problem here
I am having the same problem but I never touched my build prop. I rooted and decided to install cm14. When i flashed, none of my partitions are mounting and phone would not boot. I put stock back on and flashed tot and tried mounting partitions and nothing. Now computer doesn't recognize it as well as it will not boot into recovery or android.
I have seen this and I think I fixed it by disabling one of the two, in device manager. 1st listed, iirc.

Please pretend than I am a not particularly precocious ten year old who needs to make this phone as if I just took it outta the box. I have searched here and around the web. All I find elsewhere are paid download sites or 3 hour downloads and here I can't make heads nor tails out of the volumes of impressive information in these forums.
I do have PC skills, and this is my first smart phone and getting it rooted and the recovery installed and all that wasn't too tough back when I got it 15 months ago. It appears restoring it back to stock is quite a bit tougher.
I have to see if incoming calls still don't work when the machine is totally stock. Is there a way to do this without a 3 hour download and a masters in computer science? I sure would be most grateful for any help with this.
Thank you.
You can simply do "Rescue firmware" via Smart Switch.

Thank you sir! I will have a look at this a bit later tonight when possible.
This won't work with Teamwin recovery right?
I have none of the boot options in this video. Not that I don't appreciate it.
I have none of the boot options in this video (TeamWin). I also have totally different options in SmartSwitch. Not that I don't appreciate it. It doesn't have an option to search like the video says and already has an upgrade in there. I deleted my google accounts like it said and now I have this:

Root will mess up the mobile phone, but the whole point is getting rid of root and fixing the mobile phone. . Again, it's not that I don't appreciate the help, but this is what I've been going through. None of the instructions I find match what I have,.

I appreciate that sir, but like I say, I never get step 4. It doesn't exist for me. As soon as I click the device initialization tab I get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I proceed, I get this:
It tells me the update may fail if it's rooted and being unrooted is one of the goals of this. It also says that the mobile phone function may not work, but it's exactly the mobile phone function that's not working now and I've been trying to fix. That's what started this whole thing:

You won't do anything on TeamWin.
1. Open Smart Switch on PC.
2. Turn Off the phone. Press Volume down (not up) & Home button & power button. When you see the warning screen, just press volume up once. If you see "Downloading" screen, plug into PC
3. Do "Rescue Firmware" via Smart Switch.
Thats it.

Well they had to write that, because if something happens during flashing it is not their fault, and you have been warned.
You can also uninstal supersu, and download that same fw Smart Switch would install from another internet source, and it will probably be a painfully slow download, but that is up to you.
I cannot guaratee you that Smart Switch emergency initialization would solve your phone issues, but it is the way to unroot and for the phone to become officially stock, offcourse knox will stay tripped if it was tripped during rooting (and probably is, unless you are on 5.0.2. and were using ping pong root).
I used Smart Switch emergency a lot, and it was always succesfull, just follow instructions, connect your phone in dowload mode when it asks for it, and there should be no problems getting to stock.
...I saw just now, in your other topic that you have fixed it /thumbs up!
