Hi there!
I bricked my p920 a week ago while trying to flash the ported 3D-ICS rom from xbsall. I don't really know what I did wrong, but somehow I destroyed my bootloader.
However, using the "p920 resurrection guide" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836), I was able to boot my phone again and to restore my nandroid backup, so that I'm back to stock-GB now (rooted, CWM installed).
Everything works fine, except that my phone does not find any network and has no IMEI anymore (yes, I know, these two symptoms are connected )
I tried to recover my IMEI using this guide here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734330), but I always get stuck at point 9 of the instructions (trying to type in the original IMEI using Tutty).
So far, everything goes according to the guide. I connected Tutty with my phone using COM-port 3 (the only port available in Tutty) and when I type "AT" in Tutty, the expected "OK" comes as a response.
But when I try to type "at%imei", the only response I get is "ERROR" and no dummy-IMEI shows up.
By accident I also typed "atimei" one time, the response I got was "56000 56000 OK".
...later today I'll add a screenshot with my latest Tutty-session...

So, what am I doing wrong? So far I tried all that with two different Win7(64bit) PCs and via a virtual PC running on WinXP (32bit). All drivers for my phone, Omap and Infineon are installed (Edit: at my last try yesterday, the Infineon-driver didn't seem to work. After starting CP-download mode my PC gave an error, stating it wasn't able to install drivers.)
I also tried to use Putty and Hyperterminal instead of Tutty, but with the exact same results.
Any ideas?
Bye
a noob with an O3D
I was in the same boat as you but i flashed v10k kdz file with lg b2capp and my Imei was restored.
Hope this helps
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
Yup..just flash kdz file and your problem will gone
Use This Tuts
Fixed it!
Good news!
I fixed my problem.
Thanks for your suggestions about flashing a kdz, but I fixed it another way, because I wasn't able to find a functional download link for any kdz-file. o,O
So here is my solution:
I think my problem was, that I backed up my system with my original nandroid-backup too early.
I repeated the whole "resurrection guide"-procedure and let the V21E stock OS installed, in this OS I had no problems fixing my IMEI using Tutty,
Afterwards I then just booted into CWM and flashed my nandroid-backup from before this whole s**t.
I thank all of you on this wonderful forum, special thanks to all the devs for their life-saving guides!

Hi, i got this Samsung G S 4g. I was supposed to fix the rom (somewhat unstable thing). I will try to write all the things i have done until now. I got the "phone to pc" icon. I cannot boot or use download mode (the triangule thing)
General Info
Device is rooted. T-mobile branded, carrier-locked.
Froyo rom. (i think is stock but rooted).
Somewhat old device.
Had stock recovery (Android recovery e3 o something like that)
SGH-T959V (KB5)
Things i did
1. Pull some files from device, to sim-unlock. (using ADB) DID not modify anything else
2. SIM-Unlock using code (worked)
Then, device worked ok some weeks... then stopped working, contacts and phone apps crashed suddenly, everytime i open them
4. Use lastest Heimdall and this guide to get CWM on the phone. The idea was to flash the kernel. did not work. Check the part called "How To Flash a Kernel with Heimdall".
I did that. NOTE: used this kernel insted of the "old" one that the guide says.
Then it output this error: "libusb error: -12". So Heimdall didn't detect the device so i used zadig.exe after reinstalling the samsung drivers to avoid this issue. Then, it started working, and output something like this: "failed sending file part packet heimdall"
And now i have this:

What you have is an alternate form of DL mode that occurs after a failed flash. Read this to get back up and running.
Lumins Guide
Or just reboot the phone, it should go to a disturbing looking tiny-phone mode. Then just resend your heimdall command and it should happily work.
Major kudos to diego930 for such a nicely detailed description of his problem!
Yes... my computer didn't feel like showing the tiny disturbing phone this morning, else I could have skipped the suggestion to reboot.
That just means that the safeties are off and your phone is ready and waiting to get flashed. You're close... and probably got fixed, based on the thanks provided.

Thanks I like making myself very clear (and i know how annoying is the lack of info)
I haven't touch the device since i broke it so i'm going to try that guide and post any news. Thanks all!
When you get that phone to pc icon, just use Heimdall to flash again.
The reboot-step is from official-download mode where it has the big yellow caution taking you to panic-download mode where it has the tiny phone you posted in #1. Once you have panic-download mode, your phone is ready to accept anything. Even whatever failed before.
Summary: Repeat OP Step 4.
ok, done. Fix using heimdall 1 click! I just reflash GB with kernels and bootloaders, now it works flawless.
Thanks Theraze.
Hi,
I've been having problems with this phone, everytime I turn on the data plan it keeps poping up messages that all the process have stopped working so whenever I rebooted this keeps happening.
I tried going into recovery mode (e3) and wiping (factory reset) everything but this doesn't work, everything remains the same,
So I was trying to follow the guide to root it and load cwm recovery (from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1899736) but it is not working.
I installed the drivers and I'm able to see my device in the windows explorer but when I start the runme.bat to root the phone it just throws a bunch of error messages.

So i tried to load the cwm recovery using the flastool and the process completed with no problem (the green circle appeared) but when I turn on the phone it loads the stock e3 recovery mode.
Is my phone broken ? what do you guys suggest I do ?
thanks in advance
i have this problem to :S somebody can help us??
Liquid Gallant won't reboot
I've got the same issue as mentioned in the post before; does the owner found a solution for his issue?
I tried to follow the tutorial on this forum and got the same issue when installing the *. bat file. File runs but won't detect the phone and closes.
Untill now the problem persists; frequent crash and shut down while using (wathever what, phone, internet, apps,..). I have not much experience with smartphones but it seems to me the internal boot is corrupt. Are any possible tpols or hints available or should the item be returned to ACer (when you know their helpdesk and utility service is crap!)
Same problem
Hello,
I had the same problem last year. I couldn't hard reset ( tried the 2 ways: via the settings or via the volum button when you start). It doesn't reset anything. The applications closes by themselves and I cannot do anything.
Last year, I sent the phone under the warranty and they repaired it and sent to me back.
Now I have exactly the same problem but my phone is not under warranty anymore.
Does anyone found a solution ?
Thanks.
Hey guys,
My phone offered me the upgrade to Lollipop which I mistakenly accepted.
After a week I began to despise the changes and "features" and decided to go back to what had come with the phone originally.
In my haste to return my phone to it's former glory I followed this guide : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
I didn't get far, see the error message below :

After looking at other guides, including this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...rick-hard-bricked-moto-g-2nd-gen-5-0-t2966010 I've now hit a dead end.
When I plug my phone into my computer in Device Manager it's listed as "Android Device -> Motorola ADB Interface" so I'm not seeing "qhsusb_bulk" that's specified in that unbrick guide. Perhaps it's not as bad as I think it is?
My phone is currently sitting in bootloader mode and I'm hoping someone can suggest something I can try to resolve this, even if it means going back to lollipop.
Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,
I bought a NEXUS 7 2013 (ASUS-2B16) a few days ago and I didn't like 5.0 so I started to downgrade by myself.
I followed the instruction of this page (I chose 4.4.2 (KOT49H) rom)
https://www.androidpit.com/how-to-downgrade-a-nexus
When I finished everything (I assumed everything went well because I didn't see any error message) and start to run the system, it stays on this screen
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I thought 4.4.2 is not compatible so I flashed with 4.4.4(KTU84P) manually but with no luck.
So I tried Nexus Root Tool Kit see if I could fix it but again with no luck.
I started to do the research and I found this post from XDA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380913
The post description shows the same problem that I have so I followed the instruction until the step "FORMAT DATA in TWRP" then I am stuck again. IT shows an error message that the formation is failed.
After everything I gave up and I tried to follow this post to restore my Nexus 7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2381438
Everything went well but AGAIN I am always stuck at loading page.
I started to look at details and I found some error messages as following.
First I found my Nexus 7 has no OS installed (I am not sure)
Secondly I found the tablet is trying to mount files from E drive but always fail.
I am totally a noob with Tablet but from my experience on Windows system I guess I deleted backup partition by accident. I am hoping this information could help you guys to help me repair my tablet. If you guys need more details please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Sorry, one more thing. When I enter the command "adb devices" at DOS mode I am not able to find the devices. However, when I enter bootloader mode my computer is able to connect to my tablet. Hope this could help. Thanks.
nobody can help ?
hey, i've been trying to root 920P (S6 Sprint) for whole week now, i've tried everything i found, tried to flash few versions of TWRP, failed at 99%, tried to root directly with CF-Auto root and it fails mid-flash, tried multiple versions of odin, still same results :|

it's really weird, I've succesfully flashed 920F (International) without any problem multiple times. I can flash stock rom so it's not hardware's fault. Am i missing some simple newbie step?
{FIXED}
i was missing newbie step like i suspected xDD i forgot to enable oem unlock
what is the solution ?
i have the same problem. what is the solution ?

my device is sm920A . it is at&t . i cannot find oem unlocker
Possible Solution to Odin "failed" messaged whilst flashing
Warm greetings to all.
I have previously encountered this problem before, ive tried clearing the cache and formatting with still no luck
Eventually I wanted to try something, I loaded my software I wanted to flash on a USB.
I then used an OTG adapter to connect the usb to my phone. I then booted into the recovery ( I have TWRP) and chose install from external storage. To my surprise it worked.
NOTE: I am not sure if this method will work on stock recoveries. Also if you have an external hard drive it works as well
Also note. My S6 is an international version i believe G925F
Wishing you all the best of luck if I was not able to help
