I suggest you use the forum's "search" function and take a couple of days to do some reading and preperation. I'm telling you this because there is way to much information you need to know to just generically post here in this thread for you. You are admitedly a NOOB...and that's fine, everyone kinda is. I am thinking if you don't do a little reasearch you WILL end up with a bricked phone. I am on windows 7, but downloading the newest version of Kies from Samsung (onto your XP Laptop) should give you the drivers you need. But you may have to assign a USB port to the Drivers, may have to change USB ports, may need to use a different PC, might not have the right data cable...etc. The list goes on and on.
So search and read and read and read. Take small steps. Make sure your PC recognizes your phone and that ODIN works before you flash anything major. I'm sure you want to install ICS now and you are impatient, but if you don't take my advice your next post could very possibly be one of the 10,000 "Hey guys, I bricked my phone!" threads that keep being posted from people that didn't learn the lesson in advance.
Good luck.
Thanx for the heads up.
I have been reading and reading lol i read for like 8 hrs last nite and decided id give it a try but after idownloaded the drivers off of the samsung website and it wouldnt load i just stopped lol. Now im going to read somemore and give it another try. Thanx again for the advice
I am a noob (android) and I seem to be stuck when loading this. I found the below instructions and it seems to be stuck loading the system.img file. Not sure if I did something wrong or what but I am stuck.
what I heard you do..
Plug your usb into comp
pull battery out of phone
put battery back in
hold volume + and - and plug in usb to phone
click the exe file and your off

Just followed instructions, dont change the lenguage and let google sync everything... that was what i did different i dont know why happened.
Hope heps to anyone with this issue
Got mkne to work
Thanks to the vid and all the help.
1. Download I727UCALC4_OneClick.exe. Google it. You need a PC.
2. Put your phone in download mode by turning it off. Then hold vol up+down. Insert a usb cable into the phone that was already connected to your computer. Let go when you see instructions. Hit vol up to continue.
3. Run the exe file. Start it. Absolutely don't fiddle with the device or even your computer while it is updating. Wait a while and it will finish and reboot on its own.
4. Enjoy.
I don't mess with the Dalvik, cache, or factory reset. Seems to cause me problems.
Here are the steps to ICS, CWM, Root
1) download the ICS Leak (link all over the place)
2) Do a titanium backup of your apps to your SD card (if you have root)
3) Power off, reseat battery
4) Launch the .exe file w/ the ICS link. A program with a bunch of empty squares will pop up.
5) Push and hold Vol up + Vol down and plug in the USB cable (dont touch the power button)
6) Hit the up Volume to confirm download mode
7) In the ICS program you will see one of the squares turn yellow and say something like 0:com8 and in the text field below says something about complete or connected.
8) Make sure only the restart is checked. All others should be unchecked. Hit start. It will take a good 10-15 minutes.
9) When it completes it should reboot the phone and you will have working ICS.
10) Power off phone. Go back into download mode using above steps, and use odin to flash CWM using the PDA option. CWM link can be found in a dozen places.
11) Reboot and now you have ICS w/ CWM.
12) Download the Superuser CWM Flashable apk and put on SD card.
13) Power off phone. Hold Vol up + Vol down + power and you will go into CWM.
14) Make backup of rom using CWM. Then flash the superuser apk (linked in developement) and then reboot.
15) profit.
Was going to make a guide thread but looks like there is already one. All links are included in his post. seems pretty accurate. Between my outline and his, you should be fine =)

HELP! I was trying to frehsly install a rom..
so i used odin to "master clear" everything
it deleted everything!
hoping that in recovery mode, it'll let me "mount storage" so i can transfer my new rom into the phone, that didnt happen!!!
so, then i tried to go with odin 1 click to install i896 stock...
and it doesnt work , so i unplugged phone, and now i get that mobile phone error..
please help, the only thing i can do successfully do is put my phone in download mode! D:
PLEASE! PLEASE!
THANK YOU!
Open Odin, turn off your phone, hold the volume buttons, and plug it in to get it in download mode. Then use Odin to get stock rom on, then go from there.

Go into the ODIN thread and read extensively. Since you can get into download mode, make sure that once you connect your phone you get the COM notification in ODIN. Mine always appears in the small box in the upper left portion of ODIN one-click (if you don't get this, reinstall the samsung drivers found in the ODIN thread and reboot. If you're running Win7, make sure you run ODIN as admin).
Master Clear does exactly what it says...it wipes all of your data. MC is only supposed to be used when your phone is on and fully booted up with USB debugging on.
Flashing back to stock should only take ~5 minutes max - if it halts unplug, pull your battery, wait a few seconds, and restart. If it continues to fail, try a different USB port. If using a PC, use the back USB ports. If it still fails, try a different system. (I had this issue this weekend and finally got it on the first run on my friend's laptop - not sure what happened, had flashed 5-6 times on mine previously).
Hope this helps. Once you're back to stock, be sure to thank designgears for his killer dev work!
EDIT:
PS It's pretty tough to brick a cappy - read extensively in the ODIN thread and you'll see what I mean.
Its always good practice to back everything up and know the step by step procedures before you ever do anything. Good luck!
Connexxions "how to" videos are VERY detailed and shows you step by step how to do just about everything on this phone. I highly recommend them.
don't panic, ur lucky that u can still get into download mode. that is just soft brick I think..

I am in desperate need of help .. I am not a noob to flashing roms and rooting, however I have a one-off situation w/ no precedents to my knowledge. I have read these and other forums for days to no avail.
I was flashing Infintium Rom 4.0.4 from MIUI 2.3.6. I followed the steps listed in the post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661690). After flashing I rebooted and waited however the phone was/is stuck on the Samsung logo and never progressed. I then pulled the battery and attempted to go back to recovery mode to reflash make sure I did flashed correctly. However, upon going back into recovery I was greeted by the below image.
Clockwork Mod is extremely distorted and flat out unusable !! As I read further down it advised to use Heimdall (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331381). I downloaded and attempted to use, however my PC (Which by the way is Windows 7 64-Bit) recognized the phone but the Heimdall software did not. I already had the right drivers for the PC and phone. After a few tries I deleted the files and reapplied them. On the 2nd menu after selecting list devices, on the drop down the option for Samsung USB Composite Device neeever ever appears. I also tried on a different PC that ddnt have the drivers and started brand new. Still, Heimdall ddnt recognize.
I also tried to flash numerous files including but not limited to GTG Ultimate Unbrick via Odin. Again, PC recognized USB connection however program ddnt. At this point, I do not know if it is because the status of Clockwork Mod on my phone, but I know it is not because of the drivers or the USB ports on my PC.
In addition to that, I have just scrapped the idea of flashing or getting in CWM and just wanted to do a hard reset (While phone is off held Vol down and Power, once started released power and contimued to hold Vol down. This should take the phone from the Samsung logo to an alt menu that will give the option to do a factory reset. But again w/ my luck .. that screen neeever appears.
In short I have tried at least 3 different ways and many maaany variations to get the phone back into recovery or into a full boot and had NO success.. Please help and ask as many questions as needed to diagnose and resolve this issue .. Thanx in advance and apologize in advance if posted in the wrong thread.
Are you placing your phone in download mode?
Remove battery and place it back.
Hold vol+ & vol- , and plug in the usb to your phone with the other end already connected to the PC.
Now see if Odin or heimdall recognize your device.

If neither Odin or Hemdall can 'see' the phone, then possibly you don't have the correct drivers installed...
Try downloading and installing these:

The CWM screen is shot because you don't have gingerbread bootloaders, it will always look like that until to can flash the right ones..
Have you tried different cables, different ports, etc?
Sometimes mine would recognize.. sometimes being plugged in first then running Odin works, sometimes I would have to run Odin and then plug in the phone.. kinda a crapshoot...
Its powered by Jellybeaned AOKP!

I know I need to get the bootloader and a kernel on it however I cant = ( .. yet .. I have 4 different ports on my PC and have tried them all. i have tried phone on then run programs and programs on 1st then phone on and no new results.
I found this short video and it describes my exact situation .. please watch to futher understand http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHLUYckTlug
So u have odin and heimdal both on the same PC and drivers for them if yes then try this.
On the PC/Laptop uninstall all the drivers for samsung or any other phone and follow this.
Go to accessories> system tool> system restore and check the restore point where the drivers for heimdall were installed restore to a previous restore point after restore finishes install the drivers for Infuse and see now Odin recognizes ur phone, It should.
I had the same exact problem, do you have another phone on which you can install the same CWM recovery on? ...Because the clockwork mod recovery still works, it's just that you can't see it. So just flash a new ROM, by going back n forth between phones, clock how many clicks it takes to get to 'choose zip to install' then 'download' on the not messed up phone, then do the same on the screwy one, just keep doing that till u flash the new ROM.

Hi all nice to be here have had a good look thru forum and i reckon its the place for help
Please bear in mind when replying...yes I am a noob and a loser and yes my mum did say i am special ...
Anyway here goes
Have(had) a p920 on 2.2.2 and upgraded to 2.35
got a bit over excited and decided i wanted more so like an idiot i tried "jellybam" didnt back anything up and JB has made my phone pretty much unusable for anything except as a wedge under my car front wheel to stop it rolling down the drive (the handbrake isnt holding that well)
If i could i would just go back to original but i have no back up and I have read your forum and i do not understand all the cm10, ICS etc etc references
Could anyone give me a guide on how to make my phone usable again (i have cwm installed) and could it be in words phrases i understand
Thanks folks
Hi.
I would recommend you to try and flash the latest firmware with LG Mobbile Support Tool.It's not that hard and you can't do anything wrong with the phone so don't worry.
Start the app, install the driver for your phone(you'll have an option for that on your right), connect the phone and if your phone gets detected you'll have an option to upgrade to v30(that's ICS and it's faster and better than GB).
This way you'll flash ICS but you'll have all your data,sms,apps etc from your previous rom.
If that doesn't work for you, follow this tut and you'll be on Xbsalls V8 rom that's prerooted ICS rom with TWRP custom recovery(TWRP is also recovery, like CWM).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
I use this rom and it's very good.
Anyway you can flash some other rom in TWRP if you don't like it...
But ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR ROM BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHIIIIIIING.
We all learn that the hard way...

Did you use the right KDZ or extracted files (with the DLL file with same model as what's printed on IMEI sticker after pulling out battery - like "MODEL: LG-P920" for example)? I had the same problem. Wrong DLL usually cause that.
EDIT: Is your phone P925 (aka AT&T LG Thrill 4G)? If so, I have P925 DLL. Also try flashing V21D/E or V28 baseband.

Step 8-unplugg your phone??
Anyway, all the tuts are just the pointers.Try and see and if youre stuck at some point, come back and ask.(but in the thread of that tut that you're using)
Just reading isn't going to take you anywhere.
By the way read thoroughly before doing anything...
I was a giga mega ultra noob before I started playing with my phone and now, few months later and more thatn 10roms later(with a gazillion bootloops and softbricks) I know what I'm doing..
Everything you need is in this forum and belive me if your hardware is good,your phone is fixable.
Xbsall and the others made sure of that.
Just relax and folow the first link that I gave you, the drastic00's guide to V8.
It's the best way I think...

Sorry m8 not trying to diss that poster but truly its not clear at all and i have tried and tried all the parts and it just doesnt happen
step 8 unplugg your phone??
step 9- Now pull out battery, hold vol-up and connect your phone using the usb cable <----so phone is now plugged in
step 10- Your phone should be now in fastboot mode <---- no reference to unplugging phone
step 11- In device manager, you will LG COSMO, install now it's driver which is included in OS_HACKING package. <----no there are NO drivers in that package
step 12- Now one more time run OS_HACKING tool, hold vol-up and connect your phone using the usb cable <plug your phone back in? Sorry i didnt know i was supoosed to unplug it
step 13- Flash the GB bootloaders then flash CWM recovery <--------I have no idea what these are or how to do as there is no reference to them previously in this guide
As i said i rerally appreciate any help but that guide just doesnt make it clear enough for a complete doofuss like me
Tries this guide too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836 but no joy
Its weird cos I can boot to cwm and install a jellybam rom from an external sd card but I cannot successfully install any other rom from it (i am not sure if just doing the wipes then installing a rom downloaded from this site is the right thing to do.

You can find the drivers for LG Cosmo in wsParks omap4boot: http://d-h.st/U08 (i took this link from the resurrection guide).
Afher you instal this important driver.
You can open the omap4boot.
Just type a 2 and connect you phone to the usb.
If text is scrolling in the interface, plug in your bat and hold vol up.
You will enter normal download mode and ready to flash with LG flashtool/smartflash.
Hi thanks but i just got as far as this in the guide, the phone rebooted set itself up and seems to be working fine, without wanting to screw it up anymore, can i just not leave it as is, everything seems to be working wifi, sim etc etc do i actually need to do what it says in the rest of the guide ? added a pic cos am not clear about baseband stuff etc
A) Install LG Flash Tool by running "Setup_LGFlashTool_1.1." Let install but uncheck the ‘open LG Flash Tool’ box (don’t run it yet). The package comes with version 1.2, but 1.1 is what I used.
B) Copy the file ”LGFlashTool” from the “FILE.ZIP” folder over the file of the same name into the ” LG Flash Tool 1.1” folder. This will unlock the program.
C) Right click on "LGFlashTool," found in the same folder you just copied into and choose "Run as administrator."
D) Check the box that says "Select Manual Mode."
E) Click the "..." button to the right of the "DLL" field, then choose "LGP920_110622.dll" file you downloaded. This file helps Windows to write the correct information to the phone.
F) To the right of the "S/W" field, choose "Add" and navigate to/select "28bROOT_AP.bin." This is the official ICS file, but with root access and TWRP recovery.
G) Be sure the button for "USB" is selected. Click OK.
H) Choose the port settings icon that looks like a serial cable.
h1) Check Port 1.
h2) It should select the first 3 check boxes when you do this; "16 Ports," "Port 1 ~ Port 16," and "1" should be checked.
h3) Click OK.
I) Click the yellow arrow (start). You should see "Ready!" at the top left.
J) Insert the battery into the phone. While holding the volume up button on the phone, connect it to the pc with the sync cable. The phone should start flashing (i.e. LG Flash Tool will start writing the file). NOTE: if Flash Tool will not connect, try holding volume up, connecting the USB/sync cable, and THEN connecting battery (while holding volume up). Don't touch it until the process is complete. The phone will boot up. Once it boots up it is OK to disconnect the phone
K) The phone will NOT boot up completely. There will be a message about factory reset (but the button will not let you proceed), or the phone may stick at the LG logo. Long press power to shut off the phone. Hold Volume down + Power. Alternatively, try Home (i.e. house on keypad) + Volume down + Power. You should get a text screen about factory resetting. Press power twice to confirm. Let it reset and boot up.<--------------------------------------- GOT TO HERE SUCCESSFULLY :laugh::fingers-crossed:
L) Set up the phone. Then shut it down again.
M) Next we will flash the baseband (.fls) file. Redo steps 2C through 2J. But replace "28bROOT_AP.bin" with "28bROOT_CP.fls" in LG Flash Tool. The process of flashing a baseband will NOT complete to 100% in LG Flash Tool. That’s OK. I got to 155 seconds and it worked.
N) If you have connection problems (the 28b baseband is working for me), you may want to get another baseband from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974734. Download the file you need and repeat steps 2B through 2J with your preferred file.

Sounds like you did it.
If you dont have issues with 3g or calls, you dont nessesery have to flash your baseband.
But in many times it will be better you do.
Samsung Galaxy s 4g T959V-Gingerbread. Rooted it with SuperOneClick... Didnt have CWM. when I tried to install Black Ice and ICNINB. Tried doing with Rom Manager. Then read that doesn't work with this phone. Was able to flash AltonX KJ6 kernal through SGS kernel flasher in order or get CWM on the phone. That worked. But when I went to flash the zip files for the roms again. They still didn't work. I thought I was following the directions. Get into download mode> create a backup> wipe data> make sure the mounts were right> then flash the zip file. Well the first time I did i,t it kinda went through. Although I didn't have RED CWM or Linda. Wanted to get Voodoo and LagFix. So I decided to flash again. When it came time to reboot.. it got stuck in a loop between two different Samsung screens.One with a big swoopy S the other just the normalt-mobile samsung screen before it boots up. Going from one to the other never really rebooting. So again I decided to get into download mode again and then flash a recovery backup file. And NOW it just hangs on the Samsung T-Moblie screen. I've tried battery pulls also tried using a JIG. Screen pops up but just freezes there.
Any suggestions??

you don't want voodoo lagfix. unreliable, imho.
Try eollie's stock + root in the second post my oneclick thread. It's a stock rom and blastoff v2.5.
Run the oneclick the first time to flash just the kernel and rom.
Click flash bootloaders.
reboot phone to download mode again
flash again, this time with bootloaders.
After that, you should be golden.
Don't forget to read the directions in the OP.

Thank you so much for getting back to me. A couple of questions if I may?
1) if I'm able to get the samsung screen, does that mean I'm able to get into Download mode? It just seems to hang on that samsung T-Mobile screen.
2) The link to dropbox that I'm supposed too click on, seems to be broken... Stock_KJ6_+_root-One-Click.jar (this has the blastoff v2 kernel)- https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10373328/Stock KJ6 + root-One-Click.jar -
Here's what comes up: Error (404)
We can't find the page you're looking for. Check out our Help Center and forums for help, or head back to home.
3) Assuming that I'm able to get to download mode, I just want to check to make sure that I'm reading your directions correctly.
- when I run OneClick the 1st time, it will automatically apply just the kernel and rom.
- Then I'm supposed to reboot? Or flash the bootloaders?
- After that I'm supposed to reboot phone to download mode again.
- Flash Bootloaders again??
I'm sure I'm messing up the directions or rather misreading them.
Sorry for that. Kinda NOOB when it comes to HEIDENALL

Yes. Sometimes even if the phone seems to turn on and go to a black screen, you might still be able to get to download mode.
Seriously, this phone is like a tank... unless you flash gt-i9000 or vibrant roms. Then you will brick your phone.

Put your phone into download mode, either by holding vol+ and vol- and plugging in the usb from your computer (keep holding vol+ and vol- till you see download mode) or use a jig.
Once your in download mode. Flash the first time. Yes, it will only flash the kernel and rom. The phone will automatically reboot after the flash.
Wait a little bit after the phone reboots, you'll see a little local update happen and reboot the phone again. Then pull the battery and put the phone back into download mode.
Then check the "flash bootloaders" checkbox. flash the oneclick again this time with bootloaders.
After this, you can go anywhere from this rom, except back to froyo. I'm still working on a simple oneclick method for going back to froyo.

Ran into a new problem now...
It's me again... Sorry if I'm being a pain..
So I downloaded the link.. I have it on my desktop...I put my phone into download mode..(Yellow Triangle> Do not unplug).. I clicked on your OneClick... it loads but then tells me to connect my device... It keeps telling me I'm disconnected..
When I plug my phone into my compt via USB.. it now tells me that my device is unrecognized.
Now what did I do wrong?
I was hoping I was close to a resolution... another roadblock.
Can I fix it?
Once again, thank you for any and all the help and advice you have given me.
There is s thread called fresh out of the box now what. It will help you immensely. Sounds like you need to uninstall all samsung and android drivers and reinstall them. In that thread there is a application for your computer called usbview that can remove them (I probably misspelled that apps name). The thread is by lumin30.

I already installed usbDview.. ran as admisistrator... removed anything that said samsung or android.. plugged in my samsung phone and Still is not recognized. Also downloaded Zadig.. to install the drivers to the phone.. but it doesn't recognize the phone.
Anything else that I'm missing? Can I download something online so that when i plug in via USB it will recognize my phone?
You have tried different usb ports too? Other than that maybe a different computer. I know bhundven says dont use front usb ports too.

Tried different usb ports as well as a different computer.. When I hoked up to a different computer, at first it said it was installing the drivers.. then it stopped and said USB device Unrecognized.
Is it a matter of drivers? Can I get them offline? and then plug in my phone?

I just went to the samsung website and downloaded the drivers from there.. Still having the same problem... usb device has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it.
IIRC when you plug the phone in you need to stop it from installing the samsung drivers. Then use zadig to install them like illustrated in lumin30s guide.
Be sure to use a rear usb port if on a desktop. Dont change ports if things start to work. If you have to use a different port I suggest using usbdeview to remove drivers each time. It seems like overkill but it might work.

One more thing, I installed Stock_KJ6_+_root-One-Click.jar (this has the blastoff v2 kernel)... That should mean the phone is rooted.. correct? although I don't see SUPERUSER in my apps list.. Also does this have CWM installed? Can I flash a custom rom moving forward?? If so which one do you consider the best? I originally was having trouble because I was running into low internal memory and couldn't download many apps. That's why I wanted to flash BLACK ICE originally.. I thought that would fix my problem..
This phone suffers from low internal memory. However you can move almost all apps to your sdcard from within the rom. If the things that do not work on the JB roms are ok with you I hear good things about those.
As for the sim card..Im not sure. The one click you used doesnt have SU included because it is a stock rom with custom rooted kernel. You would have to install it from the Play store. But I reccomend flashing a different rom anyway. Again the JB roms seem to be pretty awesome so that is a option.

Did I do something wrong because I didn't pull the sim card when I flashed: Stock_KJ6_+_root-One-Click.jar (this has the blastoff v2 kernel). Also does Stock_KJ6_+_root-One-Click.jar (this has the blastoff v2 kernel) come with CWM Red?

reboot to cwm (recovery). wipe cache partition. advanced -> wipe dalvik cache. advanced -> fix permissions. reboot phone. Let it sit for a few minutes before doing anything (I'd say 10-15 minutes).
Oh weird. did that oneclick come with blastoff v2 and not 2.5?
Hmm, then do this. download blastoff v2.5, put that on your sdcard and install it from red cwm.
Then do what I said above. You should be back to blue after rebooting to recovery after flashing that kernel.
EDIT: if you really want red cwm (voodoo lagfix), I really don't know why you'd want that, but checkout my older subtly modified stock kernel.

No..no.. I'll definitely take your word for it.. I'll stick with the blue. I just thought that with the lagfix, it would fix my problem with internal memory.
My problem now is my SIM card.. The phone reboots and I get : NO SIM CARD IN PHONE

I did as you said:
reboot to cwm (recovery). wipe cache partition. advanced -> wipe dalvik cache. advanced -> fix permissions. reboot phone. Let it sit for a few minutes before doing anything (I'd say 10-15 minutes).
Should I still install: download blastoff v2.5?
Thank you again for ALL your help.. You guys saved my phone..
Hi all hope someone can help. My oneplus 1 was playing up a bit just lately so I thought I would give is a wipe and fresh install of a Sultan Rom that I had been using. Backed up using Titanium and Twrp to play it safe. Then like a complete novice (not the next stage up which is where I would put myself) I ticked all the check boxes and wiped. I now have no Operating System on the phone :crying: although I have a version of Twrp sitting on there.
So, off to google I trawled to find numerous posts threads and ways to get back up and running using fastboot, ADB sideloading etc. So after a day and a half of trying these methods and various images to download and flash I am no where near having a working phone.
I need help if one kind soul can help and walk me through the process of getting this phone back up and running.
Thanks for any help that comes this way.... Foz
TWRP is present, just copy paste a rom and gapps into the phone. Go into twrp, flash the rom and gapps and reboot.
Did you try this?
hi thanks for replying.
I've not been able to do as you suggest as the phone is not showing up in explorer where I copy/paste Rom/Gapps. The laptop is "seeing" the phone as there is an audible sound when it gets plugged into the USB socket and when using the fastboot command prompt, it throws a serial number at me. this is why I've tried to go down the ADB/Fastboot options of installing a Rom/IMG with no success
Install the drivers of ur phone on ur pc, download the stock rom cm13.1 from xda, and flash it.
---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------
Or the other option is, get otg drive. Put rom there and flash.
I'm not having any luck with the first suggestion you gave. Every image that i am trying to flash results in some kind of error. I've even tried to put the most up to date version of Twrp on (3.2.1-0-bacon) but I'm not getting any joy with that. Even though I can "talk" to the phone in Fastboot mode I'm getting no joy. I'm thinking of re installing all the ADB set up again just to make sure
Your second suggestion is not an option for me at the minute as i don't have the kit to try it.
Thanks for you input though.
Try using a OTG cable with a thumb drive

maybe I missed something but you have to connect your phone to the PC when it is in recovery mode (when OPO is turned off press and keep pressed vol down + power button until you see TWRP logo). The pc should see your phone as an external drive, then you can move a ROM and Gapps and flash with TWRP.

You're not missing anything, I don't think. The phone is booted up and the TWRP screen is on. The phone is connected to the laptop and I can hear an audible noise, but there is nothing in the explorer folders that looks like A001 which is what the phone usually looks like when plugged in. If it was I'd like to think it would be straight forward.

Any recommendations? never used one so I wouldn't want to get the wrong one or one that crap it only lasts 5 minutes. Thanks
EDIT... just ordered this cheap effort https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Micro-US...565007?hash=item3af91d86cf:g:y0MAAOSw6VRZ5mtz . Hopefully it will get me back up and running.
should be ok but if not try this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Micro...475501&hash=item25bec575e8:g:z~YAAOSwPkJafy8v its what i buy
afternoon all. right, the postie has turned up with my thumb drive.Could someone advise as to the procedure to get me up and running?
Thanks Foz
ok ... I've now got an OS on the phone...
Thanks to all who have helped.
just as an add on to this thread in case someone has a similar problem.
The phone still wasn't running right and I hadn't installed Gapps so I decided to re flash and start again. Now when I booted into twrp to reflash, it couldn't read the files on the SD card in the thumb drive. I ended up having to re flash a different version of twrp on the phone which miraculously could see the files on the SD card which I installed. The issue I now have is that I don't think there is an area on the phone to store stuff. Whenever I take a pic the camera can't see or access the SD card. When the phone is connected to the laptop, there are no folders within explorer to view so I can't drag n drop files etc to the phone. any ideas/suggestions as to get this sorted?
Thanks in advance... Foz
OK we're sorted. After trying (nearly) every help guide with no luck, I found a similar problem on a YouTube video. In the comments, someone suggested trying to use a Bacon Root Toolkit by WugFresh. after a few minutes setting it up, I've have finally flashed 12.1-YOG4PAS3JL. It has given back my internal SD card. Going to do a back up in a moment and I'm off to flash a more recent ROM
I hope this info helps someone out.
Cheers all
