Resistor cable? What's this for? - LG Optimus 3D

Does anyone have one of these or know if this will help us with bricked phones, installing updates, flashing firmware etc?

From what I understand its there so you don't have to hold the vol up button when you plug in your phone to flash the baseband, but I did it with the normal cable so its not required

So what's the LG service mode?

it is for lazy people who want to enter service mode without pressing vol up button...

[Q] Xoom 2 p/w locked.... Tear down?

Ok my xoom 2 has been password locked thanks to my 10 year old brother who doesn't know what the password is.... (oh yay) unfortunately usb debugging wasn't enabled so running any commands to hard reset my xoom is a no go.
I have searched and searched for the last few days with no success in finding a solution so i'm going to have to go beneath the hood and have a play around.
I already know how to tear down the xoom as I've already tried doing a battery pull.
Does anyone at all know anything about the internals that I could pull to wipe the device or return it to stock?
I really don't like the idea that I have spent a few hundred dollars on a pretty looking frisbee.... :-/

Need help with a brick

i wish i read the warning about not using the different galaxy S3 roms before i tried to flash Foxhound onto my Verizon phone. after i flashed my phone it rooted and since then it won't turn on and i can't put it into odin mode (volume down + power + home). can anyone place help me out or guide me into the direction that would fix my phone. whenever i plug my phone into my computer, it would read as "qualcoom HS-USB QDloader 9008).
I'm pretty sure you need jtag. It cost about 60 bux.

its jtag if you know how to use that kind of thing, pay somebody to jtag it for you, or shell out another 200 bucks to verizon.
What's jtag?

JTAG is a method used to test components and preform other functions on circuit boards and other embedded systems. Take a look at these links if you want to learn more about JTAG.

Tried that,didnt work. I have two o3ds with me my cousins and his wifes. Both on stock froyo and both dont want to go into download mode that way. Is there a download mode on froyo?
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
There's a tool that you must run on windows while plug the phone on USB (without battery) and pushing vol +.
There will be a 5 sec count to put battery on.
The tool is omap download or something like this.
You can found this here on xda.

Look in this thred.
If you want to go in downloadmode you have to install the drivers dont forhot this.
First pull out your battery, then press the vol up button, plig in usb cable WITHOUT RELEASING THE VOLUP BUTTON, you hear that you plug on an usb wait until you hear the sound that you remove a usb device, then wait again until the sound appears again when you plug in a usb device then push the battery in WITHOUT RELEASING THE VOL UP BUTTON then you will see a chinese font.

[Q] Cant enter CWM menu..

My phone can enter cwm just from ROM manager but when i try with hold Power + Volume down + Home botton, it doesnt work..
Need help because i got boot loop, my phone stuck on ROM Logo
Need to know what phone you are running. For the s3 unplug the device hold power+volume up+home. Once it boots let go of the power. You should see blue writing in the top left of the screen. Vol down is for Odin. Hope this helps.

Try fastboot again. Pull out battery to power down, and replace it. Press and hold "home" and "power".

Have you ever accessed fastboot, in the past? Some phones do not have it.
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk 2
I think your phone may be soft bricked.....but just its my own thinking you may try another procedure also.
