Bricked my O3D, willing to pay (teamviewer) for UNBRICK - LG Optimus 3D

Hello guys,
I was trying to put XBSA's ICS on my O3D, but it gave me an DOWNLOAD FAIL and since that time I cant do anything with my phone.
The only thing working right now is:
-OMAP4BOOT: if I follow this, I'm getting the LG Logo (so it's not completely dead right?)
I've tried almost anything by now, and I just need some experienced brain to take a look at this thing.
If I connect the O3D to the PC, I'm getting a flashing device manager with "OMAP4430 USB Device" flashing on and off.
I don't get the COM ports so I cant adjust any setting for that as wel.
I tried installing the drivers etc on 2 windows 7 laptops (x64 and x32) and also one XP laptop, and I can almost cry for what I have left now .
If someone knows if this phone is repairable I happily pay some money for the work.
Does somebody also know that IF I return it to LG, how much money it's going to cost me?
PLEASE?!
Thanks in advance,
Me2!

have you tried flashing a kdz by this method http://p92x.acidhazardrom.com/guides/lg_flash_tool.html

At first, thank you for your very quick replly, but unfortunatly I did that already..
I get stuck on step 6 (from step 3) because the phone doesn't show up under a com port. It only does show up as a TI Boards --> OMAP4430 USB Device (the same at 7x32, 7x64 and xp)
Thanks anyway for your thought!

Thanks for the reply but I already solved this. With alot of reading and googling I finally was able to flash ICS 4.0.4 to my phone with "SmartFlashTool". Don't really know exactly what I did but now it's working and I'm happy. :laugh:

Thanx for your effort but i thought U used some other way! I had Optimus 2x before this phone and smartflash was essential for everything! But, normally, i used both .bin and .fls for flashing software! Why not fls file with this phone!? What if i`m on GB and i want to flash ICS with smartflash? that is different partition and bootloader. That`s why i ask u how come u flash only bin!? And does it say P990 in top left corner on phone model in smartflash U used!?

[Q] think i bricked it good and proper

ok i need help please , i had gbread on it and installed superoneclick to get root then tried to flash cwm with vipermod. message said out of storage space or something (dont have ext mem only internal)and now phone will not turn on.
have followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490 and phone was recognised by omapp but couldnt change the port in device manager and couldnt find a bin to download so i tried to flash a kdz v21a
clicked start on lgflasher but nothing happened so after about 5 mins i cancelled it thinking without the port change it was a waste of time.
now i cant even get omapp to flash up when i connect phone . device manager refreshes but i cant see anything change .
hope thats enough info for some kind person to help.
many thanks in advance

Where did you get vipermod from? The Transformer Prime forums? That's meant for the TFP and would not have worked with the O3D since it flashes to mmcblk0p4 rather than mmcblk0p. You should have used the flasher here.
Download this, this and this. Extract smartflash.zip, install both driver packages. Then, run Windows Enabler, in the notifications bar, click it and make sure it is set to 'on'.
Now remove your phone's battery and sim card, press volume up and connect your phone to the computer. Hold volume up until it is detected by the computer. It should take no longer than 20 seconds.
Now run B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe, go to rom copy d/l, select LGP920_CP.fls for CP bin and LGP920_AP.bin for AP bin. Make sure under communications setup that your phone is connected (verify the com port in device manager) and then click start. If all goes well, you'll have a stock v21D phone again
Thanks for the help guys but i'm not getting a com port when i connect the phone so i don't think i can use any of those methods . or can i
i want to go back to the beginning and see if omapp will detect phone and install drivers but i can uninstall the installer but dont think that will remove the drivers , does anyone know how to do that.(cos i think i messed that bit up )
thanks again
marty
vipermod , i think i followed a link somewhere in the o3d forum where someone said u could use it to flash cwm
so , i uninstalled all lg drivers uninstalled omap installer searched registry for for any mention of omap and deleted (some wouldnt delete ) .
restarted computer (xp by the way )
then installed omap installer and lg drivers and connected phone holding vol up
and................. NOTHING whereas yesterday i had a little icon in the task bar and the opportunity to install omap drivers.
conclusion , phone is dead , i had an oppurtunity to fix it yesterday and i blew it
hope someone tells me i'm wrong but its not looking good
marty
take off battery and just put your usb cable and tell us if it shows omap in your device manager
dont press keys
if i connect phone without battery device manager just refreshes a couple of times but nothing changes with regards to ports doesn't matter if i have vol+ button in power button in or nothing
thanks anyway
marty
am i getting somewhere
update : ok so i'm on a clean install of xp and i connected the phone with vol+ and it wants to install omap4430 drivers. is that good news?
i installed omapinstaller , then the 2 lg drivers ca and ma , then reconnected the phone and went thro omap driver install but still don't have any ports in device manager
is there no way i can force it to flash without it having to think it is connected cause if its recognising it as omap4430 there must be something there
don't want to give up on it too easy , if only i put this much effort into it whilst it was working lol
marty
evening all . new update
tonight i've installed the lg support tool and drivers and found that if i leave my phone connected i occasionally get "TI sample boards" popping up in device manager for a couple of seconds without having to press buttons , unfortunately it doesn't stay on for any longer with buttons pressed.
i was wondering how to force install the "LG CDMA composite usb device " drivers cos its never asking for them as it should according to the tutorial
hope someone can help cos i've seen a few threads with same problem as me

I tried but nothing happening..its not detecting as usb to change port to 41.
Is there any other way?? Also for flashing when i insert battery and press volume up and then connect it starts and shows LG logo and goes blank.
It is not showing in PORT in device manager when connected pressing volume + button
Does the phone go to download mode ("S/W upgrade mode ) ?? By insert the battery while you hold vol+ ??
You will see two arrows like the sync symbol in your phone screen . And then the phone will still connected with the PC .
Your problem is easy to fix . Just try to enter download mode . And every thing will be fine .

You hardbricked your phone if it doesn't go into download mode.
But no panic there is always a solution;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836
Follow the guide above. (and I mean every step , however small they may seem)
ICS roms are now pre-rooted so you don't have to root.
Flash Xbsall's Ported custom ics (The one in the guide.)
Then install wkpark's recovery img. (Found here ; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978543)
Boot into recovery.
Install Darkroom ICS Int. (It's the best in my opinion) or whatever rom you wish.
They are all pre-rooted.
If you can't i'll guide you through it.
Hope i Helped.
Cheers!

Everything worked fine till step 9..But still not showing anything in Ports
Make sure the drivers are correctly installed. Especially omap4430...
Start the script that has been referred to in the guide.
Shut down the phone , remove the battery , plug usb cable and when you see "waiting for 5 seconds" plug in the battery. That should work.
Keep me posted.

That may mean you have a bad cable.
But if you restored it , it's probably sometimes bad or you changed it or you used the front panel which is a hub (divides bandwidth , slows flashing process) and it's bad for ya.
Since my real name is turkish and hard to spell i'll give one better ;
Call me John.
If you must know my real name is "Dogukan".
And yes i can help you with that although it's relatively easy now that you got a hold of it.
Thanks a lot Dogukan..

You don't need to root. Follow wkpark's recovery installation and flash a custom rom (Darkroom int is great)

Help needed

hi have been trying to update to 4.0 via flash tool but ive tried everything and cannot get it to work......ive been trying for 3 days and ive pretty much had enough of trying on my own so i though id would ask for help.
ok firstly i am on gb 2.3 im running custom cm7 no probs but i wana take the next step 4.0 so....i have all lg flash tool etc and fast load etc all nessacary files needed but for some reason my phone wont connet and flash its doing my head in. i have it into download mode, battery out etc but after that nothing i cannot progress further its like the program wont connect/register the phone.
im running win7 i even looked into other post and thought this maybe the problem but i have already installed these when gone into download mode as said here If you plug your Phone on PC without battery, OMAP4430 device appeared for seconds and then disappeared in your Windows Device Manager
(check arsen4oo photo guide in post #3)
On windows 7 sometimes OMAP4430 flashes too fast so you cant install driver.
There is a a windows feature that will help you install the driver easier.
To view devices that were once installed but are no longer attached to the computer, open a Command Prompt window using the Run As Administrator option and enter the command:
SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
Then, from the same command prompt, type devmgmt.msc to open Device Manager. Choose View, Show Hidden Devices. The new instance of Device Manager will show “ghosted” entries for devices that were once present. This technique is especially useful for fixing problems caused by leftover drivers after replacing a network card or video card—you can easily delete the ghosted device or update the OMAP4430 driver.e
i just dont know what im doing wrong
cheers in advance
HI,
Please uninstall all LG drivers, and start again. If you are using WIN7, run it with WINXP SP3 compatibility mode.
Getting the Software upgrade screen is tricky, the timing needs ti be just right for the screen to stay, else it blinks and the OMAPP difficulty starts.
You need to listed to the connect disconnect sounds carefully.
Its not difficult, just that the timing needs to be right for the battery to be inserted.
all the best

Make sure all the drivers from the guide are installed. (including omap driver)
Load the DLL and the rom to lg flashtool.
Listen to the port with LG flashtool's port settings. (One is enough , The icon with a printer cable that's the port settings)
Take the battery out but be ready to plug it back in.
connect the usb cable.
Hold volume up
You're gonna hear sounds from windows in this order ;
1.Connected
2. Disconnected
3. Connected (Again , when you hear this plug the battery back in)
If you did it right then you're now in download mode.
Go to the device manager , find the LG device (I don't remember the name , but there is only one so you'll see it.) and go to properties , advanced and port settings.
Change the port to com41.
Flashtool should take over and start.
For extra guidance , see xbsall's thread ;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836
To enter download mode .
Your phone in your hands without anything :-
1- Pull out battery .
2- hold vol+ and keep holding .
3- Connect your phone and you are still holding....
4- Now the phone is connected and you are holding vol+ . Insert battery and keep holding for about 3 seconds . Now the phone in download mode (there are some korean words on the screen) .
That's all

Because you're flashing the baseband before you flash the ROM. Change the sequence , ROM first then baseband. (Just remove the baseband you added on the flash tool ".fls file" then add it again it's gonna be flashed after the ROM )

When i tried it on window xp, i got the same error. I can boot into recovery. The phone is not switching ON atall for me to even consider goin to recovery. Sometimes when am on window xp and i press the recovery button with the battery in (vol- plus Power +3d button) it connects and then instantly disconnects again. Please help with a step by step process as am stumped. Am sure i should be able to get it up. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Preferrably i will like a guide with downgrading. The links sent has no step by step method,it naturally assumes that one will know what to do with what file. Waiting for ur response.

It will be stopped at 26-30% because phone will turn off on its own BUT the next time you try to enter NORMAL DOWNLOAD MODE it will be available again."
When i do what step 12 says, instead of my LG flash tool flashin my fone, the screeen just stay stuck on the download mode with the korean message on it. Dont know how to move ahead. Thanks for your reply, please help me move past this level. In addition, instead of LGE mobile USB serial port, what i have is LGE CDMA USB serial port.
Am still stumped

Somebody pls help me, i am able to get into the download mode but cant get beyond that stage. I have tried LG flashtool several time to get it fixed bt LG Flashtool is discovering my phone. Even when i click start though its suppose to start automatically, it just doesnt do anything. Or could it be because under my device manager i have LGE CDMA USB serial port instead of LGE mobile USD serial port ? because its my LGE CDMA USB serial port that i turned its port to 41
I need help please

Thanks a bunch for your reply, the sad thing is both explanation arent clear enough. Am sorry to bother you but can i get like an idiot guide as both links especially the one with ics isnt really clear enough and the downgrade isnt helping either. downloaded their files yetdont know hw or what to do with em. Please help
Preferrably i will like a guide with downgrading. The links sent has no step by step method,it naturally assumes that one will know what to do with what file. Waiting for ur response.
Thanks again

Thanks a bunch, i have finally gotten a lil hang of it. The problem now is each time i flash with LG flash tool, once it gets to 82%, the part where the flashtool reads target resetting , my fone disconnects and the LG flashtool brings out this error error_wm_progress_msg and some others. I have tried this 3times now and the error remains the same. When i power the phone, it goes in to clockwod mode and when i try to mount usb, it doesnt do. Even when i try to restore the backup i have, it says md5 error. Waiting for your reply

That s mean your phone is successfully done flashing , with me it never come to 100% it always on 82% its finish, just reboot your phone and wait for it to start on , and you are good to go, now go to recovery and format, or wipe cache and data and reboot at first time it says that you don't have enough memory left just go to privacy and reset the phone and format everything . and i think everything will be good after that. good luck.
Thanks

The truth is your phone can not be break just with flashing, it will brick though, unless your hardware is damaged, then you are think to buy new phone.
well about the JellyBam, while you are on GB now, root your phone and install Rom manager flash Bernie's file and you're out of the rebooting. the Barnie's files is the key of JellyBam or other CM10 to work. good luck.

Fastboot: Stuck at "waiting for device"

Hi all,
today I wanted to install Andromadus in my Desire S. I have to do the whole thing and was looking forward to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2088385 for it. Sadly I am stuck at "waiting for device" when I am trying to get the TokenID via this tool.
So instead, I did the whole run as described on HTCdev. The following was done:
1. Installed Android SDK
2. Installed Google USB Driver
3. Installed HTCSync including HTC BMP USB Driver and HTC Driver Installer
4. Deinstalled (only!) HTC Sync
5. Activate USB Debugging (as suggested in some threads I have found)
6. Remove battery
7. Boot into Hboot
8. Select Fastboot
9. Connected Desire S via USB cabel (Fastboot USB in red visible)
10. Started cmd with adminstrator privileges
11. Executed "fastboot oem get_identifier_token"
12: *see Screenshot below*
I figure, that in the end I did exactly the same as hasoon2000's tool was and was stopped at the same point. I just wanted to make sure that it was not the tool that caused the troubles... I also tried different versions of fastboot.exe. The one provided by hasoon2000 and the one suggested on htcdev from the android-sdk_r13-windows.zip.
I do not have an idea how to go on. Does anyone know?
Just to add some specs:
- Desire S
- Android 4 RUU by HTC
- HBOOT 2.02.0002
- Windows 7 64Bit
Help anyone?
Cheers!
Today, I had some more time to play around with my problem... and was able to get the TokenID.
Solution: Tried different USB ports. This works at my USB 2.0 port, the other was a 3.0.
I will go on now, hopefully, everything will work out fine.
Everything worked out fine.
Thanks much for all the efforts people are doing to run such an awesome community!
I didn't see this post when it first went up, but problems using USB v3 ports are fairly common and fairly well-known.
Well, since I started with all the CustomROM stuff three day ago, I did not know. And even after 80 views of this thread nobody told me.
But now I know.
Another good thing about this: I pushed myself and tried everything by hand instead of using hasoon2000's tool. Thats great actually. Better than pressing some buttons.
No offence to hasoon2000's tool, that great, but sometimes duing such stuff on your own is more fun. Just like setting and building a Desktop PC on your own, istead of buying on in a store.
install PDAnet on your device .. follow procedure of installation carefully ( should be installed on both pc and phone ) and when it was installed .when u enter your bootloader your phone will be recognize by your pc and wait for device will gone .
the method tested by me and took me one month two years ago to find .. on my g nexus first try to unlock .
PDAnet isntall drivers and everything you need to use adB commands ... if it helped give me thanks and let me know by pm .

i replied becuase sure there will be ppl visiting this QA thread . man this works for me every time . and specially wit windows 8 .
pay attention that u should boot phone to android and then install PDA last version and turn the debugging mode . and then it will ask on your phone that always alow this computer use pda on phone and u says yes . in nexus when u open bootloader on phone , phone will be recognize by windows ( green check icon in system try appear ) showing windows know your device in boot loader screen . then u can proceed with ADB command . maybe bootloader of htc is a hard ass one like LG phone that is pain in ass to unlock .
then when i finished . u should boot in bootloader . maybe its not working with HTC but sure works with nexus devices . it pity didnt worked for u . hope it help ppl who read this later . u should get a nexus 5 man . its cheap and amazing

If you have a USB 3.0 only, also you have the ability to run Linux from a USB stick.

In case this is helpfull: I got the same issue on Windows 10 :
Desire S, HTC Sync Manage installed ("adb devices" is working), but not way to make work the "fastboot devices".
And I have only USB3.
And finaly I found one topic providing the solution for me: set a registry key...
Write the following in a .reg file:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\usbflags\0BB40FF00100]
"SkipBOSDescriptorQuery"=hex:01,00,00,00
Launch regedit in administrator mode, import the reg file. Reboot, and that's all !!

So I installed PDA on windows 10 and on Phone apk.
No what ?
It makes connection between phone and computer. I already have this. If i type in ".\adb reboot bootloader" it will load bootloader. from there .\fastboot flash recovery recovery.img , it wont do anything Waiting for device.
PDa only works when you are in the Android OS,not Bootloader. It makes connection between the os's windows + Android.
WHat I am trying to do is install an update to my Asus Zenfone 3. I have TWRP it wont work with hat.I need stock rom. I have it. I cant install it,reason: waiting for device.
I did this many times, but its never easy,its always luck or God knows what.
What I do is, install stock recovery (not twrp). With stock recovery I install official updated ROM 8.01. and then get back TWRP. You need TWRP to flash SuperSu so you can have root.
I did this before with 7.0.1 .....now I cant get this stock recovery...waiting for device. It only listens to the first command,after it goes int Fastreovery or whatever it is...it wont go to the next command.
