mods if this is in the wrong section please move but i feel this needs to be posted in regards to the cm7 nightly
if you are getting the bsod as some call it when plugging up to your pc here is a fix i have found it also gets the mass storage and adb back up and running again
disable the lg update tool on the lower left hand side of the screen on pc next to time and date left click and click quit then
on pc go to start> control panel> programs and features
look for any lg drivers pertaining to the phone should be two if i remember right
uninstall then plug the phone back in to the pc and wait for it to do its thing after that all is well at least for me and three other g2x phones i have helped out with
hope this helps with adb and all the mass storage issues and questions
happy flashing im still trying to shake the itch from the lack of roms to flash over and over lol

You really ought to spend some time re-learning your punctuation buttons. Punctuation is the difference between "We ate, Grandpa." and "We ate Grandpa." It really shouldn't take extra effort on my part to understand what you're saying in (what should be) plain English. This isn't Facebook.
Back on topic, though, what version of Windows did this method work for you, and what LG driver had you installed? I ask because I haven't been able to get ADB to work with this phone, though I haven't tried it from recovery.
I initially installed, in Win7, the LG driver linked from this post, and when I removed the driver I selected the "delete driver files" option as well. I also went in and uninstalled the driver application from Programs and Features. There never was a program in the system tray for me to exit (or stop from loading on Windows start). As far as I can tell I have removed all traces of the LG Driver. I'm able to mount both the eMMC as well as the SD card, but still cannot get ADB to work.
I'll give ADB from recovery a try when I wake up, and see if I'm able to get that to work.

This fix does not work. Sure, it solves the BSOD issue and USB Storage works, but ADB access is not magically enabled by uninstalling the LGE drivers.
At least, not for me.

So I lent my brother my nexus s that had cm7 on it. He got into the clockworkmod, went to mounts/storage, and proceeded to format everything (bootloader, boot data, etc. everything in there) he said he thought that would fix the force closes, I figured no biggie, but now I can't even get the phone into download mode and I have no idea what to do, the phone will simply not turn on
wow.... dont even know why he would do that.
rule 1: dont lend people your phone.
and i dont know why you would try and get into download mode, Odin isn't the first thing you want to go to.
1. turn the phone off (if it isnt already)
2. hold volume up + power
... what happens? does bootloader mode pop up?
- plug your phone in your computer's USB
- does the sound for USB plugged in occur?
- does computer detect it?
Can't access fastboot.
Phone sometimes recognizes it and says this device is not recognized and it couldn't install the usb driver, sometimes when i plug it in it does nothing.
Didn't want to lend it to him, had no choice. I told him he should have just fixed the permissions on the phone, but then again he's not exactly android literate.
thats just dumb on his part.. i dont know why he would try and mess with your device. if it has problems, just ask you first.
its probably bricked if you cant access download or bootloader... definitely bricked if the computer is unable to detect it
your only way out of it is to get a replacement
In Device/Drivers of windows under Unspecified there's this:
SEC S5PC110 Test/BD
says drivers are not installed
Anybody out there with a solution?
I think there is more than one driver you can try, though I've never flashed anything in Windows (Linux already comes with the driver ), so I don't know for sure. I think I've seen people mentioned a few drivers before, try search for all the "brick" threads here.
Easiest solution might be to download a Linux live distribution (f.e. ubuntu) and run fastboot from there. No need to install any drivers.
Kicking him in the nuts will probably make you feel better... I don't know if it'll fix your phone though.

Ddi you ever get your phone sorted ? I'm now in the same situation !
Yes, hit up http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=970 For 50 bucks they'll fix your phone and ship it back to you in no time. They got my phone on a Friday, I got it back on either Monday or Tuesday. Of course they're based in Texas and I'm in STL so it could differ for you, but the point is, they're fast, reliable, and professional.
Thanks for that - I'm based in Ireland but I'll give them a shout and see if we can do business......
Thanks a million for the reference PUMA. Please contact me when you are in need of a brick fix. I fix hundreds of Galaxy S / Samsung / HTC variants and several others in a brick of nearly any scenario.

I was linked to that forum, and i need some information
I want to root and i also, can someone tell me if it is possible to get rid of my text messages in my call log, anways can someone answer these questions?
1) how do i make a file on the Internal xd? is that the sd card that you can go out and buy or is it the one that when you go on like file manager on android assistant or even my files, that is the main folder there?
2)what is the difference between a ROM and a KERNAL?
3)does kies work for anyone else? mine always says that my device isn't supported on kies... i have the rogers infuse. I wanna know this because i wanna be able to back my stuff up in case i screw it up
4)was that accelerometer fixed yet?
5)I am a beginner at this rooting stuff but i did jail break ipods alot so i know a bit but almost all the rooting abbreviations i dont know. Anyways i got a thread called [q] Rooting guide - Infuse 4g and i wanna know how to do the stuff in there... Like is just doing this kernal thing going to help me get rid of the text messages in my call log or over/underclock my phone and get better battery life... Please someone help me i wanna root but i dont wanna screw everything up
Someone can probably answer all your questions better then I but yeah for Lies you gotta use Lies mini that's the only one that actually works with the infuse 4g. To make a folder on the internal memory just plug the phone into your computer via USB and select connect to PC from the drop down menu etc .. open it up and just create a new folder. Really simple. I think you may even be able to make one if your phone is rooted. The Rom is a whole package of the os running on the phone, can include kernal, modem, theme and many other changes. (Someone could probably define it better but definitley check the forums for info on what a Rom is) can usually make the phone faster too. The kernal I think is the base for the phone, not sure how to explain it. Do not ever ruin the kernal or you'll get bricked or atleast bootloops. AS for rooting I haven't done this yet on infuse only on my captivate. Hope this helped.

thanks for the help guys
Kies mini just gets you the drivers so that your computer recognizes your phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793528
Just a google search away.
Just to be completely honest, other than rooting your phone, you may want to stop there. Adding customized features/roms to phones isn't for everyone.
I did web development for years and I still play it cautious when trying out new roms, modems and kernels.

for me when i got to the phone app, there is no call log, just says log... and it only has View by, delete and call duration... And view by only has all logs, miss calls dialed calls received calls, sent messages, and received messages... and delete can only delete everything, even if it could delete only text messages, i wouldn't wanna just have to do that constantly, cause i make alot of calls but i make like 20x more texts so i wanna just see my calls in what should be a CALL LOG... thanks for your input though
Last night I switched my SD card (16GB Class10 Kingston) in my O3D and checked the "Use external/internal sd" in CM settings and rebooted my phone.
The /root/sdcard path was located to the INTERNAL sdcard before the switch.
I think that the option was NOT checked BUT when it check it, it became "Use internal" which is incorrect.
Anyway, my phone wont boot, not even when holding down VolUp+Power.
I will keep trying but just a warning to you all, don't do any hardware change with the Nightly builds (assuming that the sdcard is hardware)!
I'm using linux so I'm not sure that it's possible to use any software like the softwares on windows.
have a look at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433274 , they have the same problem as you. Apparently its because you switched the internal/external.

Are you seriously answering my thread without reading my entire post?
--------------------------
No worries, I can flash back the stock with lg support tool using windows, but my current rom and settings will be lost.
Just a heads up if any of you would try the same thing.
And mine doesn't go in to recovery mode either. I doesn't boot whatever I try.
Only thing that can be done is what I said above, Holding down VolUp+Power while plugging in the usb in the computer so the computer can find my phone as a Omap4430 device.

I already did that many days ago, but it seems this rootzwiki forum is totally dead. No arcee, no other dev replies. I also reported other bugs, no answer too.
In fact, I´m afraid CM7 development for our device has stopped completely, since all changelog entries we get are for general CM7. Nothing is getting done for the O3D specifically.
I know CM is done by busy developers, who get no money for their work, but they could at least share their knowledge a little more, so more people could jump in to help! I´m trying to do that, but I need some pointers from more experienced people.
What pisses me off is to have an important project like this in the hands of 1 or 2 guys, with bugs that bricks expensive phones, and we have no one to talk to.

Yes it should i was lucky my phone was under the 30 days still so they just handed me a new phone on the spot wich was nice but im going to stay away from cm7 like the plague yes this should be sticked her andin the thrill forum as well.

Indeed, he says he reads it, but that forum is completely DEAD, no posts for 2 weeks. I already reported this bug, had not a single answer. And the nightlies have no P920 specific work for weeks. And since arcee seems to be the only mega-master-guru around, a person no one can talk to, this is what we have: a dangerous half-working CM7 that will destroy many more O3D around, and there´s nothing we can do.

Guys, don't complain about this here, as arcee already said he doesn't follow XDA threads.
Do report it at http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4883-cyanogenmod-cm7-nightlies-for-optimus3d-and-thrill/ where he reads it.

Im. Just posting hear so every one else. Dosent make the same misstake as me and end up with a paper weight on tbere desk.
I'm not new to android whatsoever.. I've just returned from an Iphone 4s cause i was missing the openess of android. Now.. i've pulled out my old Nexus S 4g, Updated it to 4.0.4 and i cant get it to connect to my computer for the life of me! tried 4 different cables, 5 different computers, every driver i could find and nothing. I've come to believe this is a software failure... All i need is root and i will be able to sleep at night. Could someone package up .zip to give root and twrp recovery that i could flash through stock recovery? I dont know else i could do to get root... but this problem is becoming quite annoying.
1. There is no way to package a zip to flash through stock recovery since it would have to be signed.
2.For someone who is "not new to android whatsoever" making 2 threads about the same topic 2 minutes apart isn't exactly acting the part.
Try this guide.
Actually you're wrong, On the Epic 4G someone did in fact manage to do so. And yeah since i'm not new to these forums i understand that stuff like this gets overlooked so i made two posts. Cry me a river.
BTW Thanks harb... but that would involve being able to connect to my PC. Which just is not possible right now.
Thats the Android Karma... it happens but a little advice.
If you can't connect to the computer then it might a hardware issue not software.
If getting root was that easy that you just had to flash a zip on stock then everyone would be doing it. And good luck getting root without unlocking your bootloader first. Not to be rude but the problem could possibly be between the computer and the chair.

It's ok, not rude. I understand what you are saying... but did you not read what i just said? somebody had accomplished this on the Epic 4G and i'm just trying to find someone who has done it with the NS4G.. I've had 4 Android devices, rooted them all and been here since the beginning. It's not a hardware problem, it connected fine before when it was on gingerbread... i downloaded the OTA ICS then flashed through stock recovery.. but if you read what i said in the first post this problem only occured AFTER updating. This is why i quit using XDA a long time ago, because people just post a bunch of useless information instead of trying to help... The problem is not me my friend, its the damned ICS update, i've read multiple posts all over the interweb w/ people who have had the same problem, yet no resolutions other than bending up the micro usb male piece on my phone which is not the problem as i said it was working fine before i updated. Have tried multiple samsung drivers, pda net, and Android SDK Drivers, multiple Cords from samsung, to htc, to blackberry and palm pre and even a nokia one now. and 5 different computers... so tell me smart guy, what would you do?

Bro... Chill... They're just trying to help you out. There is NO way to to root your NS without a computer (currently. We are not Epic 4G owners here). You said you didn't use your NS since GB, SO during the time in between something could have happened to the hardware. Don't rule that out just yet. Your drivers might also be bad. Is this what migrating to iOS does to people? Makes them snobby and demand fixes to problems they can't figure out on their own? Don't hate on the XDA forums. If we're not helping you "hit the thanks button anyways, you ungrateful bastard" (XDA into video ). Anywho. Chill. Keep trying.
Nexus S (GSM i9020a)
Paranoid (14.a Hybrid - 4.0.4)
Matrix Kernel (CFS - 20.0)
Intellidemmand (800/100)
Live OC (105 - 800/1000)
Deep Idle (On - Noop)
BLX - 96 (Inverted Apps)
I am chill, i am just trying to describe what I've already done so maybe someone could suggest something else. And no what i meant is i downloaded the OTA on my computer than transferred it onto my Nexus through USB mount a couple of days ago so i know its not a hardware issue. Im not demanding fixes, just trying to see if anyone has done been able to figure this out yet as i know im not the only one with this issue. And there is a big problem w/ people on the XDA forums as a whole.. i am a little frustrated and just dont like when someone is telling me is a User issue when i have tried everything conceivable and know what i am doing.. Sorry if this offended you. and IOS is a good device.. its just like.. NWO they want to control everything haha. I'd rather be part of the rebel faction. even though i love my ipad XD
There is currently no way to root 4.0.4 without an unlocked bootloader (and no custom recovery), and the only way to get an unlocked bootloader is to either have root or plug it into the PC and unlock via fastboot. As such, you are stuck with sorting out drivers - despite how annoying they are.
The video i linked to above describes in detail (and through video) exactly how to sort out NS drivers on Windows machines as well as the required fastboot commands to get a custom recovery.

Yes that is a good video, and does a job well done in describing on how to install drivers. My main issue is that my Computer(s) are'nt recognized my device at all... It doesn't show up as android device, or nexus s... but Unknown device. If i could figure this out i believe i could handle the rest.

Pretty sure that video describes that. You need to open up device manager, double click unknown device (while device is in fastboot), hit update driver and navigate to the provided drivers on the site. Watch it a few times, you'll figure it out.
Have you tried to install PDANet? I've read numerous times about it working wonders for users who have trouble with drivers. It has all of the necessary drivers built in.

yes i second that,PDANet Drivers usually work across all devices you should try them.
Like ppl said before, try PdaNet drivers it might help.
thanks everyone, , but like i said i tried pretty much every driver you can find online. they will not install as my device comes up as "Unknown", i've literally tried every piece of literature on the web relating to this issue... at this point i'm just going to wait for the JB update and see what happens.

So the ICS update makes you unable to boot to fastboot and makes your device unable to be recognized by your computer from there?
That's a new one. As far as I know, "Unknown device" is actually your device being recognized, just the driver doesn't get installed correctly.
Have you tried manually specifying which driver to install and selecting the PDA Net driver? Look at Harbb's last post.
Have you went as far as editing the drivers inf to match your hardware ID? I know I had to do that way back when the PDA net drivers weren't even available.
'til then, user error.

I swear you people don't listen, look i did everything in the video exact when i try to manually specify the driver it comes back saying that the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible driver for your device... I'm not an imbecile and know how to follow instructions on a video. I know most people skip research cause they're too lazy to figure it out themselves... i posted on here as a last resort and feel like people are telling me what i already know then telling me its my fault, ridiculous. if you guys are just going to repeat what the last five people have said instead of trying to offer a new soloution then why even bother posting?
Epic 4G could do this in FROYO... It was patched by google in 2.3+. Do you want an app to secretly root you and install malware?

Well it is going to be basically one of two things.
1. Is user error of some sort. That is what people have been trying to help with.
2. Is hardware issue that no one can help you with of course. Or some software issue causing it to not show up for who knows what reason. Neither of which folks can help with since a computer is not seeing it. So they revert back to what they can. Point 1
When you asked a question like is there a zip that you can flash in stock recovery to give you root or custom recovery that also doesn't help your cause for people assuming user error.
The one other thing you can try is download mode and Odin.

Cool. Trash your Nexus S, clearly broken.
Edit: That's nice of you albundy, but Mr grumpySasquatch (fitting name eh?) has tried everything, including modding the drivers inf. His Nexus S is broken beyond repair, also the first one we've ever seen that won't adb but works fine for USB mounting. *chuckle*
For the last three months, since I softbricked and brought my Infuse back to life with GTG's Ultimate Unbrick I've been fighting the poor performance and sluggishness on my Infuse and cursing the day I rooted it! Today I started uninstalling apps right and left and BAM! We Have Performance! Sometimes, it's the simple things stupid! You've loaded too much crap on your phone!
No no you have it all wrong! You didn't have too many apps you simply need a bigger phone.

That being said, I'm still having issues with my infuse which no longer talks to my PC in Download mode and is back to being so sluggish at times I can't even answer a phone call. I'm kinda wishing I hadn't rooted the phone again....:crying:

Not if it's no longer talking to my PC via USB in Download mode that I'm aware of.
Have you tried different USB ports, and or a different USB cable? I have three stock Samsung cables and only one will transfer data.
All three will charge just fine though

So just to be clear your getting nothing at all, no Samsung logo, or boot animation? How 'bout a battery charging logo?
If you getting none of that definitely give Rickrocks013 sugestions a try. Take the phone apart and clean the power button contact points and make sure its functioning properly, and get a good USB cable (the ones that come with the phone are about as cheap as they come) If you currently have a USB cable in the condition that two of mine are in (no data connection) download mode would be impossible to achieve.
My understanding of the Infuse is it's near impossible to brick, sometimes a bit of extra effort may be required, but with developeres like scott working to keep software updated for our device, the effort is well worth keeping your device running, IMO.

No I'm getting a screen with a phone and a computer with an Exclamation mark inside a triangle between them and it won't connect to the PC anymore and it won't boot it just comes back to that screen no matter what I do. Geek Squad couldn't get it into download mode either.

Have you tried a new USB cable and tried different USB ports on the computer?
What type of computer are you using and what operating system is it running? If your running a windows variant try re-installing the samsung kies drivers. You could also install Linux on a small partiion, ultimately having a Linux based OS (as a second if your not comfortable leaving windows) is a great thing to have, if your going to be doing a lot of tinkering with android based phones, it's nice to have as a rescue system once windows goes down as well.
I just don't think I have the brain power anymore...

I will gladly mail it to someone who thinks they can fix it. I've already switched to Straight Talks Samsung Galaxy Centura with ICS. Sadly, the new phone has no GPS. I don't plan on rooting again. I've been having health issues lately that include lightheadedness, dizzy spells and just plain old fuzzy thinking so frankly I think it's currently beyond my ability to fix what I've broken.

Using the correct USB cable is what allowed me to screw up the phone in download mode. I was using Ultimate Unbrick with Odin but it appeared to be stuck on establishing communications. I rebooted the phone and that's when it went to the no longer talking to your PC screen. the new Samsung Galaxy Centura sees the PC just fine with the existing USB drivers. I'm running Windows Vista Pro 64 Bit.
In case anyone doesn't understand what I'm talking about, here's what my phone now looks like:
{
"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_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now that I at least have a working phone again I guess I don't mind tinkering with this if anyone thinks it's not truly hard bricked but so far I'm finding no love trying to get back into download mode or getting my PC to see the phone with the above image on the screen.
Where did you get that cable? My guess is that it's still a bad one.
That screen is another form of download mode. That screen always comes up after a bad flash via Odin or heimdall. Try buying a new cable, then keep trying different usb ports. I've had the issue of Odin getting stuck a bunch of times and gotten that screen. Finding the right usb port and cable has gotten me out of that mess every time.
There is a chance your current cable might work after enough tries, but you will want to blow your brains out trying. It's easier to just get a new cable. A good flash of Odin should take like 3 minutes. Just start over if it takes longer.
Good luck.

I had never seen that screen but figured thats what it was from his description, glad you could confirm. BTW I agree with the assessment of a bad cable or port as your primary issue.
Just a thought, you mentioned using oden, have you tried using the heimdall back to stocks? You need to have Java installed but they work really well.

Thanks for the offer but I shipped it UPS to the Samsung repair center on Monday. They got it today so hopefully I'll have it back within a week.
Samsung ROCKS!!
Not only did they pay for shipping, they didn't charge me a dime to fix the mess I made of my phone! And I was totally honest and upfront about breaking my warranty by rooting my phone from the get go! Talk about Customer Service above and beyond my expectations!!!! :victory:
