[Q] how do i get my phone back in it's original state? - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

hi,
recently i have rooted my phone to get the most out of it.
a couple of weeks ago i got this notification message that an update was available for my phone's software, so i downloaded it via OTA.
when it restarted to install the update it came into CMW recovery mode. there is an option in CMW to install the update, but when i trie to install it, i get an error mesage that sais: no such file or directory. so i tried to update it manually and to get out of CMW recovery, but nothing helps. i also tried to get it back in it's original state, but apparently no one with this phone model has ever asked it on the internet, so i can't find a solution.
can anyone on this forum please tell me how i get my phone back in it's original state? if i lose my root acces, that doesn't matter. i just want my phone back.
my phone model is:
LG Optimus L3 (e400)
please help me, i have tried other forums, but no one gave a response there.
greetzz..

Help ! Samsung Nexus S totally locked !

Hello,
Today I'm totally stressed because since two days, I cannot start my Google Nexus S.
I expose to you my problem :
I had a completely normal Nexus S in which I didn't installed anything wrong, only apps from the android market.
Three days ago my phone rebooted then it get lock on the google logo.
To repair it, I had a look in forums and I find the Odin method.
So I decided to use it and my phone got started normally (I just had a weird problem : I couldn't install several applications from the Android Market which I had before because it was saud "not compatible")
The day after, my Nexus S rebooted once again and then it was locked on the google screen with an open padlock under it
Since that, I think I have attempted everything to reboot it normally
I've tried once again the Odin method but it didn't work
I have installed the clockworkmod recovery but i don't know why I can't access my sd card so i cant install .zip files.
My PC recognize my phone in fastboot mode
My phone is from UK so its a I9020
Now I don't know what to do and I hope somebody will be able to help me and get out of this nightmare
Thank you
Maxime
PS: Sorry for my bad english but I'm french and I don't have a very good level in english
If you were completely stock and did nothing "wrong" (root, flash roms, etc) then you should go back to the store you got it from and they should give you a replacement. That would be my course of action
Have you tried to mount your usb storage via recovery? Then copying a stock rom on there.
Tried to look for missing usb drivers in the hardware manager part of your pc?
I'm not familiar wit return policies in your country, but if everything else fails you can always try to return the phone if it was bought only recently.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Yes I've tried to mount my usb storage but I can't access it I don't know why
The problem is that I've bought my phone in England and I live in France the models of Nexus S sold in those country are'nt the same and I don't know what they are going to give me if I give them
Can anyone help me ? Please
You're missing the usb driver prolly. Try updating/reinstalling it.

Please help - bricked my beloved phone

Hello everyone,
Well I was on KK and had my phone rooted and was happy - then like a fool I downloaded and installed the official Lollipop update through the phone interface.
Now the phone will only reboot into 'PhilZ touch 6' recovery and even restoring a previous recovery backup is having no effect.
I cant get the phone into download mode so cant install a kdz file to reset the phone. Also there is no option in recovery to launch the phone in download mode.
Please please please does anyone have any ideas?
I love this phone and cant afford to buy a new one. I'm having one of those days today.
Well I got it working by following the advice from here:

Hi there, I'd love to help but you did not specify what version of Android you were running prior to getting a bricked device. However a general method would by flashing the stock ROM of the phone via Odin(I'm assuming its a Samsung device). Search for "unlock bricked Samsung SCH-1535" using the search tool. As for the marshmallow UI, this can only be achieved if you've re rooted your device and unlocked your bootloader in other to be able to flash ROMs with marshmallow UI. Alternately you'll have to edit the build.prop file located in the /system folder in the root directory of the device in question. This procedure also will require a rooted device. You can search around for forums that describe how this can be done on your specific device. Goodluck mate:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

Bricked p40 pro after downgrade...

Hello
I have a soft bricked (?) p40 pro , after downgrading to a wrong firmware version, the phone booted up normally inside android and was working for a while.
But after trying to OTA update it, the phone went into a bootloop. Failed at installation and restarted.
I can access now only eRecovery and Fastboot modes.
I can't get it recornized by a PC with usb, i dont know if i do something wrong.
eRecovery also doesn't work. It managed to find once a package, downloaded it and while installing the deviced rebooted and went into bootloop again.
Now its stuck to unable to find package info.
Haven't try dload from usb-tongle, because i dont have any usb tongle / adapter. Im willing to get one to try out, if i can flash anything from there.
I went to a service shop, they said they tried with test point and they still didn't find a work around it. Maybe they lack experience on this device.
If someone can help me please, im very desperate
I had the phone only for 4 hours
Thanks
Alex
