My phone hanged (froze) when I was answering a call.
Screen went partially black and was not responding.
I switched off by long pressing the power button and now the phone won’t start.
Removing battery, SIM card, microSDHC doesn’t help.
I also cannot enter Recovery mode.
I tried unbrick with this method but when connecting computer detects new hardware omap4430 and after 1 sec omap4430 disappears/disconnects and then connects again and immediately disconnects and again…
The same both on Win7 64bit and clean installed XP 32bit.
ROM ThiaiZO3D V2.1 GB
Please help.
edit:
I was searching this forum and found similar problem here. So is it hardware problem (PCB)?
While in device manager you will see omap, connect and disconnect. You have to be fast and double click it to install...

[GUIDE] Unbricking your O3D
Hi,
Try this.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186460
I was bricked my Optimus 3D three times.
I use this solution every time.And it's working fine.
You must be patient.And you make this solution step by step.
I used windows XP with this solution.
deepfresh thanks for your advice and solution but it's not working (my phone is still disconnecting and connectking no matter what I do)

I tried it, phone is still disconnecting when I hold volume up and power or when I hold any other combination of keys.
When I connect the phone (with battery) and press only power I hear sound of connecting device in windows and then immediately disconnecting sound.
So it looks like the phone wants to start but something is damaged, blocking (I think it's hardware problem). Also in the past it hanged many many times (but I was able to restart until the last one).
Right now phone is on the way to service.
Thanks everyone for help.
I will inform about results of repairing by service.
Same exact problem
Got the same exact problem with mine. It's a rogers LGP925G and no matters if I install the driver or anything nothing is doing the trick.
I'm going to drop it at rogers tomorow for warranty repair/replace and hopefully Lg staff won't be able to see I changed the software since it's impossible to even have the phone connected to a computer.
It happened to me when I tried to format a 32GB sdcard on cyanogenmod7 nightly 5
I'm not blaming cyanogenmod at all, it's a great rom and I know the maintainer is doing a great my dream and nexus one are still running uber fine on both of them.
So it's only to try to see what can have cause this problem and if there is a crosslink to do with both cases.
Also did you tried warranty replacement? did it work??

how i unbricked my O3D
Its rather simple really.
the easiest way is to just download the software update software on lg site for phone model. launch the software. Take out battery, attach usb to pc, then hold volume up and power at same time, the software will see phone, select customer support then recovery – type IMEI number and then software will just re download and flash the phone to repair. this is the way that LG software can repair a rooted phone gone bad, though LG will not tell any1 this when u call them, i work in the industry and a former LG technician mentioned this to me. worked a treat when i thought i bricked my O3d. Also this usually just does a repair installation so usually it keeps all your settings.

You are completely right, I have saved my phone three times like this and it's brilliant!
confirm, I was the same situation, forma sdcard on cm7, totally bricked, blinking omap4430
only warranty repair
My story
Ok, i swapped my internal and external sds, after that plugged in to my laptop Win7.
it told me to format the "sdcard", i did it. But, it told me it had only 128kt memory? WTF? i did it, and after that rebooted. or no, i shut it down
and then no boot. no download mode. i tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1244490 but no, it just lags, device manager refreshes 24/7, finds it every 5 secs... I WAS AND IDIOT! DO NOT DO THIS!
Itried that method on xp machine.
after that blinking omap ****:laugh:

Hi everyone,
I am having a weird problem.
I have a friend's G2X that received the OTA and is up and running with official Gingerbread. Problem is the phone at some random point blacks out and you cannot wake it up or power it up without removing the battery and reinserting it.
So I thought why not use NvFlasher and flash CWM and then load a custom rom, see if that fixes these issues...
Using Windows 7 64-bit, I removed battery, held Volume UP/DOWN pressed while plugging in the USB, but nothing happened, no notification from windows...
Tried it on 2 other computers, no luck....
My G2X is fine and it comes up as APX device when performing the steps above, but when using my friend's G2X, nothing happens...
Does anybody know what to do at this point?
I tried performing Factory Reset on the phone, couple of times, it seems it does not help since the problem is still happening...
My computer is fine, USB ports are fine, my phone is recognized, but his is not...
My 1st G2x used to shutoff by itself, but I didn't have any problems with nVflash....
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
No one shoot me but try just volume down or up.... On mine its just volume down but the first g2x I had it was volume up and down...

I dont know if it makes a difference or not but try checking his usb debugging. that may be your problem. Settings-applications-development-usb debugging. Also be sure unknown sources is checked. I have had a few different roms, Faux AOSP, Trigger, and X-Boarders along with a couple others and I still have that deal every now and then when It wont wake up unless I pull the battery. Hope you dont but wanted you to know its not just your phone. I believe it is something in the hardware causing it.

That wouldn't make a difference, because the phone isn't loaded into a ROM when S/W update is running.

Tried all combinations, no go...
I am assuming the update messed something up. My next option is to get to a Windows XP machine and try the .kdz file and restore using that see if that helps...
Ok tried using the KDZ flasher and KDZ file on an XP machine and it went through with the update, or at least it seems like it did.
But the random blackout where I have to pull the battery and reinsert for the phone to come back on still happens and intermittent wifi problems as well...
Not sure if there is anything else I can do...
I will continue trying to get the phone into APX mode in order to use NvFlasher...
I have two G2x that do the Sleep Of Death - we now manually restart once a day, and that significantly reduced if not eliminated the problem. Or shall I say masked the problem...
My main problem on this G2x is that I cannot get it into the APX mode in order to use NvFlasher to flash CWM...
No matter what I do, what button combination or how long I wait the device never enters that mode...
Is there any other way to get the phone in APX mode?
After many, many tries, it finally worked!
I must have tried 50 times to plug it in to get it into APX mode.
Finally I removed the micro SD card and tried one more time and voila it worked.
I pressed volume UP first then Volume DOWN and kept holding them, plugged in and windows recognized it finally... whew!
Hi to all this morning,
I spoke to the local AT&T manager about my phone. The lock screen numbers and letters are "burned" on to my screen. Every time I go to a "light backround, I can see the month, time and "phone locked". The manager told me to call AT&T service. I called the 800 number and was told I have to do a "hard reset" on my phone for the warranty procedure. I have an "unlocked", "rooted" phone. Will a hard reset unroot and lock my phone?
Do I have to "unroot" and "lock" my phone before calling them back?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Jim
Before u return the phone to store, I would strongly recommend restoring to how it was when you got it (stock).

I assume that you are using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251 one.
I had to use this a whole bunch of times when I just started flashing and though it worked really well the first time after that it started to not work as well. Switch your USB ports that you plug your phone into. This will make it show up in a different are other than just COMM 9. If you cannot get it to work in any USB try a different computer, leave it sitting there for a long time. I don't think that it really had anything to do with my eventual sucess but after just leaving the battery out and the cord plugged into nothing made it work. Just telling you my experience. I hope that you are able to figure out what is wrong and flash back to stock before your screen gets any worse!

It did not seem like it wiped everything off. auto reboot was checked and fast reset was checked.
first block on top left is green and says passed time 4.49
Just wanted to says thanks. I plugged the phone into my laptop and it worked. Now I am fighting with AT&T to get it returned. They seem to think a display hardware issue is a software/virus issue. Thanks I got it to work with your help!!

No problem. Glad that I could help. And do push the issue. Right to the manager if they still won't take it. Or you could try calling them and eventually you will find one rep who is willing to push it through. Either they will be dumb and don't know what they are doing or they will know where you are coming from and help get it returned. If not, and you are still under warranty you might be able to send it back to Samsung and see what they will do about it. Good luck!
i believe if its under 30 days they take it back on the spot and exchange it for you.. if not they might ask you if you have insurance on you phone and send it out to a authorized ATT repair store... just my expierience...
Hello and good morning..:crying:..my Nexus s I9023 with JB 4.1.1, stock, had a frozen Display and didn`t react to the powerbutton so i pulled the battery....and guess, what.....it doesn`t turn on anymore!! I had the battery out all night...nothing! ...put it on the charger...nothing!....eaven the pc does not recognise my Nexus...! ...what can I do?? btw....searched the Forum and did this "plug in USB, press volume up and down, slide in Battery, hold for 5 sec. ....nothing!!! HEEEEELLLLPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm not an expert, but it seems a serious hardware problem.
As far as I know, there are for ways to switch on the nexus s.
1) ordinary power button
2) power button + vol up
3) vol up + vol down
4) plug in USB charger
The third method puts the phone in download mode, and Odin needs to be used. You have to look for the thread on how to restart the phone with a broken power button
Best wishes

if it is still in warranty send to the seller and if u are lucky u can have a new nexus s
....if there is no other option i will do that!!
If the screen does not turn on displaying the battery icon when you plug the charger to the usb, it may mean that they battery is completely flat or that the contacts are not working.
If you know someone who owns a nexus then try with another battery and another charger.
In any case, it is definitely better to give it to a service center for warranty replacement. They know how to make it work
Good luck

Hesitant to send in for repairs though. I was running AOKP jb-build 1 and Air-kernel #201. It isn't being recognized by USB so I can't even flash it again. Tried to use the unbrickable resurrection program, but it doesn't get recognized, and I don't want to void the warranty further by opening the phone.
Any suggestions??

are you overclocking the cpu? This happened to me a few times until i finally clued it in my head. I was overclocking at 1400MHz and sometimes when i was using my phone for a while it would get hot and the screen would be all colourful and blurry and then it would freeze and I would have to take the battery out and reboot it
I was overclocking for a bit at a stable 1200 MHz for months, and usually hard resets fixed it. But if I remember correctly, I started using stock voltages and stock speeds with lazy governor a while back. It was stable until today. Usually the hard reset fixes it, but now its not even turning on or being recognized by USB

If you have had problems since day one you might have bought a bad phone to begin with. I've never heard of a phone working fine and just brick all of a sudden. My guess would be hardware failure of some kind.

1. whoever fixed my phone only gave me 2 weeks warranty.
--------------
2. if i replaced the power button, will it stay ALIVE for 1 year?
even if my phone stayed Alive for 1 year, i would be happy to replace then. but now, its hard.

if theres no signs of life its not a power button prob, its usually a mobo or memory failure

i have a question, since this happened before, then it means that the guy from the repair service didnt use JTAG, bec as said in this topic, JTAG only fixes software problem, correct?
Omg. Your phone is junk. Get a new one. Get it?

Hey guys I need some help asap! I have had my Nexus 5 for about 2 weeks now. I had rooted it and put in cwm recovery. The other day I had switched over art from Dalvik. Later in the day I was using linux deploy from the app store. About an hour after when i was browsing the web the device returned an error stating that the devices memory was full..... I knew there was no way. I powered off the device and that was the last of it. It does not power on in the traditional sense it does not go into recovery it does not go into fastboot and it certainly not the OS. Just a black screen. However it does get recognized as a QHUSB device when connected to a PC after fussing with the drivers adb or fastboot drivers no matter the version do not work the device will appear in device manager as though it is there but running adb devices or fastboot devices returns no devices. After extensive driver version attempts and toold nexus rootkit etc i have found that the slightly responsive driver for anything is the LG AndroidNet Diagnostic driver. Although QPST hangs when trying to download via Sahara and CDMA workshop will connect but it does it fails when trying to read from phone. I know there are tools for devices in the same situation. Is there one for the nexus 5? Or can someone help me recover this bad boy? This version is the google play version and not the t-mobile or sprint variant. HEEELP!!!!!!!!!! Thanks.
Try to turn off your phone. I know it looks like it is turned off but it's not. Press power button about 10secs then release it and then press and hold it with the two volume keys. You should find yourself in the bootloader and there you could flash stock rom back.
If that not works. Connect the phone to the pc. Open up device manager. Press and hols power button and when the qhusb dissapears press and hold both volume keys while you still pressing the power key. You may end up again in qhsusb, try to wait a little bit more with the pressing both volume keys after each try.
I hope it will work, but I know a guy who bricked his device like you with cwm, his phone also appears as qhusb device on the pc and he could not recover.
Tha last thing you can do is send it back to google to recive a replacement device.

Thank you, I have tried that and it does not work. My fear is that I will not be able to return as I have pulled the battery and have custom software.
I was hoping there was some way to recover when the device is in the LG Android diagnostic mode.

If there is no traces or signs you removed the battery (like finger prints or damaged back cover) then google will never find out you have custom rom on your device, because they cant turn it on. It does not worth the effort to google to somehow hack the data out from the broken flash chip. What they will do is that they try to turn it on, then they see it is not possible so they flas stock rom through qhusb ans that wipes all the data of your phone and reformat everything. Or maybe unbricking the device does not wort the effort too and google just send you a replacement device.

You are asking for help with it. To answer your question. It's called jtag and lots of people know how to do it. I'd look for "mobile tech videos". QHUSB is a true brick.
EDIT: Or you could just RMA it. I think that might have been what you where asking to begin with. lol
@joutcast dude it sounds bricked. I'm sure Google will give you another device if you RMA it.
I'm very serious. Im Not being smart about it. I highly doubt Google will do anything to check unless you left obvious traces of it being tampered.

You need to JTAG it. It'll cost you about $65 and you'll have a working phone again. I'd check craigslist for JTAG in your area, a lot of people are doing it now.
And stop being so sensitive.
Work the problem and not each other.

Sensitivity is what I do best LOL. I went ahead with the RMA route and have been with out a phone for over 15 days. The reason being I am unemployed and could not afford the $450 for an advanced replacement. I still have not heard a peep out of Google as to when I can even think about getting a tracking number from them..... What cracks me up is the fact that if I had done an advanced RMA the hold on my card would of fallen off a long time ago and at that point they still would not have any security on the device. Not only that they have had my phone since Tuesday of this week.
