Hey everyone. I have a LG P999 and I want to flash the baseband however when I go into S/W upgrade mode my PC does not recognize the phone . When its connected and on fully the computer sees it, but not when I hold the volume down button and plug it in. Is there any solution to this?
Thanks
No battery.
Hold both volume buttons down,
Plug in cable.
Apx drivers will install.

I was able to get the APX drivers installed but it still wont recognize in S/W upgrade mode
Is there something else I could try?

I hold down the volume minus button and than plug the USB cable into the computer. The phone goes into S/W upgrade mode but in my device manager no drivers load so the phone is not found
I have used the nvflash tool and I have followed the following guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619932 and gotten up to step 3 on page two. Step 4 will not work. Not sure why my computer does not see the phone in S/W mode but it does when the phone is fully on.
Hold both volume buttons

Don't stress, guy! The fact that your phone is getting into download mode at all generally means you're safe! I can't help much, because I don't know much and I'm on my phone. But, if tomorrow comes i scrounge around and do some trouble shooting for you.
Good luck! I know how scary it can be to lose a phone.

I installed CWM as mentioned above but the computer still does not see the phone when I hold down the volume and connect through USB
Is there a way to force the APX drivers to load?

I have a Samsung Fascinate that will not boot, i get a black screen with a cellphone a ! in a yellow triangle and a computers. The 3 button method will not get me into download or recovery! takeing out the battery and plugging into usb with the volume up button down doesnt work either. I tried plugging it into the computer but adb nor odin would detect it(yes i have the right drivers) please help ive hit a wall
Try plugging in with the battery out and the volume down button pressed until the download mode shows up. Btw may I ask how you got yourself into this mess?

as stated in the first post i have tried that method to get into download mode. and i got into this mess trying to get clockwork on the phone (did not install properly) and trying to put samsung fasinate (verison) rom on it... oops lol?
Actually in OP it says you pressed the volume up button. Volume down is what gets you into download mode.

Also I believe you would get more help if you posted this in the fascinate forums.

BTW i got stuck with one of the awsome fascinates that will not 3 button recovery/download
Found the solution that worked for me. I had to plug in the usb hold volume down then pop in the battery to get it to go into download mode.
Ohh usually it goes with the battery popped out.

That is how you get into download mode on the Verizon Fascinate. Why are there all these guesses all over the internet? That is how you do it.

Was trying to reimage this phone using Odin v1.3 a usb malfunction error message came up Ive been trying to use it to several computers since then, but the same message kept coming up and of course the odin could recognise the devise and i went up turn the phone on normally all i have is a black screen with a phone and yellow explanation and computer logos on the screen the explanation sign is in between the phone and computer logos and now I can not do anything with this phone...I think my only option is for somebody to help me to find some image that will run on the SD card instead of the USB port.
Please help!
Thank you!
it all started when i wanted to try the Stock Deodexed T959VUVKG4 with Root, and i went to the red recovery i had, voodo recovery, and i did all the unmount, mount, and all that good stuff.I flahsed the room waiting for the process to finish but i got stock on the galaxy logo. when i went back to the post, i read that recovery didnt work for some reason, so i decided it was time for me to restore my phone using odin, but my pc doesnt recognize my phone anymore, whenever i plug in the cable to the pc, its like nothing has happened, i have installed all of the usb drivers ive seen on the web, but nothing seems to work, any suggestions???/
Did you forget to disable voodoo in CWM and then reboot to un-convert the file system before you started flashing?
to get into download mode, are you sure you are holding both volume up/down buttons down while you plug in the usb?
the kg4 doesnt have the bootloaders, so you should be able to get into download mode using the three button combo.
i disabled voodo lagfix but i did not reboot the phone instead i flashed the room right after. and i am holding both volume up/down buttons down while i plug in the usb and i see the download pictures and everything
and what do i do if my pc doesnt recognize my phone???

I had an issue where my pc would not recognize my phone in download mode after flashing the original 2.3.4 posted by chadster. I finally got it to recognize it by installing all the drivers used with heimdell. Hope that helps.

ive tried that but the only driver that my pc recognizes is my wireless driver.thanks for the help everybody.
ok. drivers are sometimes a problem. restart the computer and then reinstall the drivers. then plug your phone into a different usb port from what you had it and go into download mode. let me know if that works.
i will try again with Heimdall to see if it works
Can you try taking the battery out for 30secs open odin plug the usb in the phone hold vol up and down then slap the battery in while still holding keep holding it and if a com sign comes up in odin flash it even if screens blank

i still have the same problem with the usb drivers, does anybody know how to fix it?
Try uninstalling all your phone's usb drivers, then go to the device manager in system properties, right click on your USB controller, and uninstall the device. Then reboot your pc, and let windows find and reinstall the USB controller. Then reinstall the samsung usb drivers, and see if that works.
I had the same issue once.
I had the same issue before and was able to fix it by rebooting the phone and letting GB boot up. I then turned on debugging mode and plugged the phone into the pc. I then installed the hemi drivers and windows installed the device and everything worked after that. From what I've found, after you flash GB, sometimes it wont recognize the device anymore, so putting the phone into debug mode after booting seems to force it to use the correct drivers. Hope this helps!
I'd try the fevers then hold up and down and put USB cord in

I downloaded and installed the Nvidia NvFlash APX Driver to my phone
I only have trouble when trying to download the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. When I remove my battery, hold my volume buttons, connect to computer, and click the Flash CWM 5.0.2.0. button, the computer screen shows the files sending and everything downloads successfully.
But my problem is throughout installing the flash CWM my screen goes, and stays, black. It doesn't say S/W Upgrade on my phone.
PLS help and thank you.
Did you hold the volume buttons the whole time or when you plugged it in only cause you need to hold them down tell you get the upgrade screen

So, I got soft bricked. I tried to odin back to stock but ive tried every three button combo to get back in to download mode with nothing working. I try pulling battery then holding both vol keys then inserting battery and then plugging in usb cable while its plugged into the computer and odin is running. Ive tried every other variation of this as well. I have no idea what to do next, please help. Plugging in the USB after holding the keys only brings up the SAMSUNG screen. I can three button into 3e recovery but of course that is no help. Please help

If your getting recovery then download mode is not gone..... put your phone inrecovery mode, if you know how to use adb, or even have it, open command prompt and type: adb devices to see if it recognizes your phone. Should say xxxxx in recovery mode or something. Then type: adb reboot download. This will probably be the only way you will get to download as it sounds like your buttons remapping got screwed up somehow...
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
Tried it, adb detected nothing. I don't have cwm, I have unmodded 3e. Adb didn't detect any device and I never had USB debugging enabled. I bought a jig off eBay as my last hope, any luck with these?

Please help. I was using odin3 v1.85 and trying to flash the stock EP4 from the imnuts page. during the flash odin said it failed. My phone now fails to be recognized by my PC. I am not able to boot into CWM nor am I able to boot in to download mode. Any which way I try to get the phone booted up I get the screen that looks like:
cellphone...exclamation point in a triangle... computer
With the battery out of the cell, if I plug the phone into my computer, it is not recognized by the computer and no power flows to the phone
When I put the battery back in and either try to boot to CWM or download mode, I get the:
cell... exclamation point in triangle...computer.
Am I now bricked for good? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Are you holding the volume down button when plugging it in? Battery out, hold volume down, plug in phone... If still not recognized, try downloading an older version of odin... Then repeat... Ive had my phone at that same screen and came out ok so dont freak... Lol.

Volume down with battery out when connected to PC. Then make sure you put the battery back in before flashing.

Good thought. I booted up Odin3 version 1.3 and no luck. The phone will not go in to download mode but Odin1.3 will recognize the phone as plugged in, which is a step in the right direction compared to Odin3 1.85 which would not. Oh, I am beginning to "freak out" from this stress!!
Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.

I use odin v1.82... Try that. If I rememebr right it took me several tries before I got odin to recognize my phone. So your starting with the phone off and battery out... Your holding down volume down key as you plug the phone in? and when you do that it odin recognizes your device but your device just shows that its charging? Try flashing it anyways with the .pit file and stock ep4d... If that doesnt work try flashing CWM first.. Then flash the restore package.. Sounds to me like your phone has been absolutely wiped so you have no recovery image. I think thats finally what got me up and running again.. This is a fixable situation, dont give your hopes up!!!!

Take out the battery and it shouldn't do that.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I used the IMNUTS recommendation on how to "fix my phone" and it worked. Again, thanks for the help!
