Hard bricked G2x? NVFlash stalls on "bootloader" - T-Mobile LG G2x

I am working on a LG G2x LG-999dw which seems hard bricked. I've tried to NV Flash on multiple machines (with multiple cables) but it doesn't work. I got so desperate that I did a clean install of WinXP Pro one of my machines... just to make SURE it wasn't a driver or Windows update issue.
I've scoured our Forums and google'ed til my fingers hurt. NOTHING I have found has made a difference.
The computers recognize the G2x in APX mode. I get the NVidia Recovery driver loaded, no problem. When I start the flash.bat (included with the 3 different NVFlash based packages I've found) it loads the Fastboot, but then stalls at on 'Waiting for Bootloader to initialize".
I was hoping to push the recovery.img via ADB. Even TonyP's modified driver is loaded, ADB still doesn't see the device.
I've seen more than a few posts from people in situations like this one. However no one really says HOW they got it to work.. just that they did.
This is my boss's phone AND my review is next week!
Please help me?
Thank you in advance!

Maybe the files youre trying to push are corrupted? I jad this little problem last night

Yup. Make sure your nvFlash software isn't corrupt. To my knowledge, our phone is pretty damn near impossible to "brick". nvFlash has always been our savior.

Each time I have tried, I have downloaded them anew. I downloaded the files again at home last night. I brought them into work today via thumbdrive. Same result. Do you have a link to a set of files you KNOW is good?
I have tried One-Click, CWM via NVFlash, and AIO Wipe Tool. They ALL respond the same way. They ALL hang at 'Waiting for Bootloader to initialize".
i know we can do ADB when the phone is in CWM recovery, however, is it even POSSIBLE to get ADB communication when the phone is in this state?

I'd downloaded those countless times in the past week. My finger tips are bruised from holding the buttons down. lol I've resorted to using thick rubber bands to hold them down instead. :silly:

I wish there were some way to just get ADB working in this state. Then I could just push the recovery file across, etc.

Even with adb, it's impossible to install via adb or terminal. NVflash is the only way.

Yes, that is one of the methods I have tried. It fails in exactly the same way.

Tried a different cable? Different computer?

Usually different cable/USB does the chick.
It happened to me and wouldn't load the boot loader until I used a different cord.

Your using one of the usb slots directly on the motherboard right? (at the back)

You'll probably have to reinstall the firmware, etc., with a .kdz file if you can't reload the kernel and rom. Which version of the baseband or Android was your boss using? Also, uninstall the LG drivers and reinstall them.

My original post states "I've tried to NV Flash on multiple machines (with multiple cables) but it doesn't work."
This thing is driving me absolutely insane. I'm not a newb. I've been doing this for a LONG time. This is only the 2nd phone I've worked with that had caused me this much headache and consternation. (The first was an older Verizon Droid)

I have tried the .KDZ file method already. I can't get the app to recognize that the phone is connected. Is there some trick to that? I've tried the APX & modded ADB drivers on 3 different machines. Neither driver allowed the app to "see" the phone in this mode.

Did you try a different USB cable? Is the phone in "USB debugging" mode? If the drivers are installed correctly, your phone should be recognized.

Yes, I've tried 3 different cables on 4 different PCs. I've tried 2 different batteries from a pair of working G2x's. The phone DOES NOT BOOT. It stays on a Black Screen. If I hold both buttons and plug in the USB the PC recognizes it in APX mode. That's ALL it does.

This is without the battery, right? To properly use NVflash, it's without the battery. Except for rare cases. Either way the NVFlash ROM that was linked here previously should do the trick. If even without the battery (And volume buttons held) it does this, then the device itself might've been a lemon from the start. Because I've never had trouble on linux or windows NVFlashing.

[Q] Tried to Install MIUI, Now Stuck

Welp I am one of the stupid ones and installed MIUI on my Infuse, and like everyone else, I'm stuck on the boot screen. I looked at the post on the same topic and tried to do it but couldn't get it to work probably becuase the computer says that its an Unknown device instead of a Samsung device.
So my question is what do I do now that my computer doesn't recongize the phone as a device anymore?
Thanks to all that can give help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
And lesson learned - never install a ROM from another phone.
Yeah I know that now. Foolish mistake I know I shouldn't have made.
But, I have tried using that but when I connect the phone to the computer it shows to be an unknown device and Odin doesn't pick it up at all. My problem is, is that the computer doesn't recognize it as an Android Device anymore. Is downloading the drivers from Samsung going to help?
I'll have to leave that to someone else - I use Heimdall on a Linux box, I've never flashed from Windows.
Oh, ok. Well thanks for your help .
I fixed my problem. What I had to do was get another computer that doesn't have the Samsung Drivers or Kies installed and then install them. Once that was done Odin found the device and I was able to restore it.
So there's a tip for anyone who can't get their device to be recognized by the computer or Odin itself.
Or just uninstall/delete those drivers?

i have started to do this to since i got the infuse. ill tell you i dont miss driver issues one bit! linux/bsd/mac/whatever rock as long as you have supported hardware and that is becoming less and less of a problem these days.
re: Now Stuck
You need to try and pull the battery out and put it back see if you can get the phone into "download mode". If you cannot get it into download mode by doing that or using the up/down volume and power key combo then I would suggest that you purchase a "jig" on ebay. (they cost under $10 bucks shipped).
Here is the ebay link for the jig:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Galaxy-...0563626533?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item20ba3eba25
With a jig all you would need to do is to remove battery, plug the little jig into the usb port of phone and replace the battery, then wait 5 seconds or so and the phone will be in download mode allowing you to use Odin3 and flash back to "stock rom" to start with..
Best if you did that using the "Ultimate Unbrick" stock froyo rom after that
you can install infuse 1.5 custom rom or Bionix or the defused custom rom or any other rom.
Here is the link for the Ultimate Unbrick:

Xoom bricked seen as APX in devices need drivers

Bricked Xoom built a program cable but fails to install drivers when connected. I tried going to devices and troubleshooting searched for drivers but none were found.
Any idea of what i can try next?
Have you downloaded drivers from motodev?
Prior to the bricking, could you connect to your computer?
It will connect but it just shows up as APX in the devices and says its missing drivers. I went to moto and downloaded USB drivers but still does the same thing. The xoom does nothing when plugged in.
Windows 7 or XP?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Windows 7. I did manage to get some drivers to install. Don't know if their the rite ones though. I clicked on let me choose such drivers, found some in SDK for htc,Samsung,and Motorola. Chose Motorola and it had several adb drivers clicked next and they installed. So now it just shows it as APX in the devices but no longer has the missing drive issue. Still no sign of life when trying adb or fastboot.
What mode is it in when you are attempting to connect it to your computer?

It's just a black screen. Won't turn on at all even when pressing volume+power. All it does is the white light comes on when charging. Can't get recovery mode or fastboot.

I have the same problem.. doing my head in trying to fix it. I have tryed everything i can think off. Anyone out there know how to fix it in apx mode using a factory cable ?
Did you ever find a solution to this issue?
I currently have a black-screen bricked Xoom. I have tried all the 'soft-unbrick' methods, I can _NEVER_ get anything to appear on screen. The only signs of life are with a 'factory cable'
With this 'factory cable' I am able to see 'APX' in my Device Manager. I can make it 'reboot' by doing the volume up + power which makes the device disappear and reappear. No other key combinations have any effect.
I am able to install either the Nvidia NVFlash drivers. However NVFlash doesn't work. Possibly due to a lack of SBK (Secure Boot Key).
I am also able to install the "Universal Naked Driver" which makes the device show up as an "Asus Transformer APX" However neither fastboot or adb seem to see the device.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can unbrick my Xoom?

Dear all,
I got the same thing.
I installed the driver from nvflash drivers. And I ran several commands to try, it showed no bootloader was specified. I guess maybe I damaged my bootloader. Does any of you unbricked your xoom?
Here is a link to my post, which showed my tries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838002
Anyone could help us? Thanks a lot.
Wow, i've been on that Wagon for a long time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838002 Now I just gave up cause I don't think anyone has gone past installing the drives after it detecting as APX.
Thanks for your kindly reply.
So, you mean there is no hope.
Actually, I sent it to another MOTO local service center again. After one week, they told me they tried to restore the software in two steps, but only the first could be done, and then went back to brick again. And they thought there might be some damage on “the kit” of motherboard, and if I want to repair, the whole motherboard must be replaced totally.
If you still have the bricked XOOM, would you please try to draw the BCT and config.cfg from your device?
Again, I did another search. Although there is no available bootloader.bin, BCT and config.cfg for XOOM, I guess there might be possible to use SAMSUNG P7510's files, because the hardwares are almost same, and it's heard that P7510 could use XOOM's ROM.

[Q] Need help getting my T959V connected for flashing/rooting.

Problem: Cannot get my Samsung T959V to connect to the computer in order to flash/root. Always gives the same "USB Device Not Recognized" error when I plug it in to the computer.
My Progress: Before you guys throw this questions out, let me tell you what I have tried so far. I have been trying to get this damn thing connected to the computer for about 3 weeks now. I have sat down on my computer going through the xda forum in detail trying to find an answer. I know the process of flashing and the xda contributors have some great guides to help us along the way, a big thanks to all ur hard work, but no matter what, I cannot get the phone in download mode or get it connected to the computer.
* I have read the Download Mode post and tried all 5 ways without luck.
* Have read all things related to Keis Mini and how it sucks when it comes to the T959V and other ppl have had the same problem.
* Have tried connecting in Keis mode, usb debugging mode but still the same error.
If someone can help me get my phone connected to the computer, I am sure I can take of the rest since everything is available on the SGS4G Bible, thanks for that also.
Is there anything I have missed or not tried yet? Please help. Thanks in advance for anyone who reads this post as it is my first. Usually I don't have to post since all the documentation is always up-to-date and available but this problem is killing me
Additional Information: Bought the phone from a cell-phone store I use to work at. Has Android 2.3.6 on it. Have done the factory reset and tried to get it to connect, no luck. Not sure if it has been flashed before, pretty sure it hasnt but the flashed download mode method didnt work also. Have android-sdk installed and have tried pointing the .inf file to the google usb-drivers in the sdk, no luck. Download both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers for this phone from multiple locations, still no luck trying to connect. Have also tried multiple computers and multiple v9 cables, no luck.
Have you installed the Samsung drivers? You mention google drivers but samsung has it's own. You should be able to find them in the noobs guide to Odin thread. DL mode should work as well regardless of what drivers you have installed. Pull the battery, plug usb into computer, plug phone into usb, hold down BOTH vol + and -, insert battery. I've never not seen that method work.

Yup tried both 32-bit and 64-bit drivers on multiple computers. Tried the download mode method u said also. Trust me have tried everything I have read about and know, but no luck.
But the phone charges fine? Could be a bad USB port. Or partially bad. Have you tried a jig? If that doesn't work I'd say your hardware is screwed up somewhere.

A jig is a nifty little device that plugs in to your USB port on the phone and then gets you to DL mode. Their mostly used to recvover from bad flashes(like flashing the wrong phones kernel). Here's a link:

There was with Froyo but with GB it's all been put into the kernel. So not that I'm aware of. However one of the GB leaks changed the key mapping of the phone. I forget which one but that might be the issue. Go to settings>about phone>build number and let me know what that says. post the base band as well.

I downloaded the terminal emulator app and tried doing 'reboot download' but says 'operation not permitted,' any way to get around that? Or any other non-button or non-adb way to get into download mode? Other than the jig? Or is it possible to get su privileges on an unrooted device for the 'reboot' command to work in the terminal emulator app?
It's giving you "not permitted" because you don't have root. Have you tried Super One Click to root? If you can get SOC to root it you can use terminal to force DL mode.
If you haven't hears the link.

DL 2.3.1. It should come with the android drivers as well. Worth a shot. If it doesn't work it doesn't damage the phone at all.

no usb data. need to root -tf101

Long time listener. First time caller.
I have an issue. My tf101 lost the ability to transfer data about week ago. Meaning, its not detectable by computers or any usb device
The tablet was rooted but i returned to stock in an effort to fix the problem and lost root.
I have tried:
3 cables
4 PC's
1 linux box
The tablet charges fine and even trickle charges from usb ports
I narrowed down the problem to a partially corrupt bootloader. Or simply a bad flash(team rouges rec and revolution rom)
I think i may be able to fix the problem by flashing ClockWork recovery, but i need to get root access. Any ideas or am i just screwed?
So im screwed right?

No, you're not "screwed" You could always just download an over-wifi file transfer app. I'm not sure what the best ones are on the Play Store, but I'd do you research if you're gonna drop a couple bucks on one. I haven't bothered since my Skyrocket is Samsung and I already get Kies Air.
I would suggest after flashing ClockWork recovery trying out some other ROMs and kernels and seeing if that fixes your problem. I would also highly suggest Team Win Recovery Project. It's been my favorite recovery so far, not to mention the touch screen interface is fantastic.

I assume you can still get into APX mode? If so, I would try running this. It's what I initially used to root my TF101, and it doesn't require you to use your installed recovery. Basically it roots and installs CWM recovery from a script run from your computer. Let me know what happens.

Ive been through that. Its not a simple driver issue. Windows doesnt even acknowledge it as an "unrecognized usb device"
Linux does even list it with the lsusb command.
Same for mac.

Well, I'm assuming that this is no longer on stock firmware and/or too old to be still under warrantee. The only thing I can think of, unless someone else here can give you an answer, is that it may be a hardware problem and you'd have to send it in to ASUS to get it fixed.....

You need USB to root. I had the same issue and a new USB cable fixed it straight away.

This is very easy if you have an att phone. If not you will NEED to get the correct FXZ for you phone and download what I am about to link here, then put the correct FXZ for YOUR phone in the same location as in the download, and run the batch file, while your phone is in fastboot, as simple as that. If you do this RSDlite is not needed.
Link to the post with the scripts:

Again as it is, that is ONLY for AT&T phone, and you MUST get the proper FXZ for your phone, if it is not an AT&T phone, and put the FXZ in the same directory as the rest of the files with the script.

1. Make sure your phone is fully charged (you can't fxz below 30%)
2. Install the correct driver and boot your phone to AP Fastboot
3. You don't have to extract the fxz file. just put them to C:/ as a whole
I recommend you read the instruction again
Obviously you have to get fastboot working. that should just be a drive issue, but you can try a new cable/ usb port/ computer. What rom did you have? you should be able to get into its recovery and flash again.

I'm on Paranoid Rom. The recovery is wiped for no reason and my current recovery is 3e ( with the vol up + vol down to make it shown). I tried 3 different cables, 1 lappy and 1 pc. It just can't recognize my fastboot.

Hmmmm.. what does the phone say when it is in fastboot mode and plugged in? Does it say "connect a usb cable" or whatever it is, or "USB connected- ready to program" (or whatever, you get the idea)

I was stuck in this same situation just last week, fastboot not being recognized and all. What operating systems do you have? I tried 4 (windows xp 32 and 64bit, windows 7 32bit and windows 8 64bit), and only xp would work a few times. So maybe you can try a friend's computer with xp or anything else. Which drivers are you using? because it worked for me with Motohelper, but not the latest drivers. Either way, keep trying different usb ports especially with the Motorola cable. Let me know if anything works, good luck! :thumbup:

I see, that may be why it's so hard to get fastboot to work. :/ The A2 seems to only like working with the Motorola oem cable for many people, especially with AP fastboot. Well try what you can to keep the battery charged, and try what you can.

I would try using Linux. if you don't want to install it, you should just be able to use a live cd of ubuntu or something. it aught to work right off the bat, no drivers needed. you will ahve to use manual fastboot commands though, no fxz (so you will need to install moto-fastboot)
