[Q] Bricked lg optimus one - Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
yesterday I put evoking (android 4.2.1) on my phone, and I wanted to change it, so I've installed ROM Manager..
After that, I've rebooted on recovery, but, the phone shows only the lg's icon..
So I tried to unbrick this whit KDZ (using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314) and, I tried all the possibility, but it still not working. Now, it does not turn on!! Can you help me please?
P.S. Sorry for the english I'm using google translate..

remove battery, plug the phone to computer while pressing vol up and power to see if computer recognize it, if it does, flash again via kdz
after reflash, restart and w8 for the phone to boot, it will take some minutes to boot, just be patient

Hey bud,
its simeple.
even i faced the same issue once. Just reboot the mobile and while booting go to the recovery mode (home+vol up + powerbutton). tere u can reinstall the rom. try ICy/PAC MAN. it works beautifully. remember to keep this rom zip file in SD card while rebooting.

If you removed the battery after unsuccessful kdz flash, then your phone is hard bricked and you need to go to LG

Is there a way to recover or do I have to tell my mum thats i breaked my brothers phone?
Help please, Nathan!

take a look at these posts here, here and here hope it helps
P.S
you can always use the search function in xda if you need more research. try kdz, lg p350, bricked.
Stuck
Thanks for posting this three options, it worked, but now I'm stuck at the LG bootscreen...
ANYONE?
Have you tried clockwork mod.
First do a factor reset
Download clockwork mod from market. Then download the cymogen mod 7.2 zip for your lg.
Download one click clean from market and clear the cache.
Go into the clockwork mod. After that click flash update zip and click the cymogen mod zip. Wait and then you will see a boot animation and done you have fixed your LG.

Try flashing different firmware, and first boot might take a LONG time so just wait. Most of the times kdz is our last hope for bricked phone it should work after some tries.

Try this:
1. Enable sound on your pc
2. Turn off you phone remove sd/sim card.
3. Connect your phone while pressing volume up with the Pc (I guess u have lg Drivers installed)
4. Wait and see if you hear sth (like 3 or more sounds) or if you phone enter in S/W mode.
5. reply again
No sounds......But it enters S/W mode....but nothing happens.......what should i do?
Im also worried that the battery will die....will it be charged while in S/W mode?

Go to device manager while in S/W mode and connect the usb cable.
See if anything pops up and reply.
I think it will show you LG Cosmo driver that is not installed but lets see.
All drivers was installed inclusive LG Cosmo Driver....i saw it......But when in device manager with S/W mode on i cant see the COSMO Driver name......
Should i be worried about battery dying? How can i know its charging when the phone is off?

As im aware it wont, but it still should charge if you just plug it when its off.
The Fact that you can enter downloadmode means you phone can be restored (Data will be lost)
Try that guide, its easiest one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629307
I tried smartflash succesfully but phone still bootloops with LG logo on...also read later on in the thread that this might mean that bootloader is broken and needs to be restored...i paste quote "you have most likely been fiddling with the bootloader.
You'll need the correct bootloaders for the su870".....whats the solution now?

You gotta format your internal memory from within the ROM. Boot your device then Go to settings/storage/format internal sd. It should be okay. If you can't find the settings try pressing menu button while in the homescreen. In the menu press settings and it should run.

Try to flash another gingerbread Kernel. If you cant enter recovery, but you can enter fastboot mode then try: fastboot flash (Drag and Drop the boot.img to shell) and press enter.
Turn off your phone then turn on your phone while holding 3D button and vulume up or down ( not sure which one ) and power button as son as the screen turns on free all of them then you should see the android icon wait till you enter the recovery mode there format every thing.
I hope this will work
And it would do the trick

Are you able to use the power button to "kind of" reboot? (like, it doesn't actually start up, but it still responds to the power button)

The instructions to factory-reset your a800:
1. Press together : POWER + VOLUME UP about several second, a warning will appear onscreen.
2. Choose "Reset Device".
3. Reboot.
You should be back to stock and your problem fixed.

[Q] Bootloop on my Xperia Tipo

Hello,
I tried to install a ROM on my android device for the first time a few daysa ago I followed every step:
Rooted my phone, installed CWM, when I tried to unlock bootloader I got some kind of error, but STUPID me ignored it.
I opened CWM installed the ROM and turned off my phone when I try turning it on it just vibrates and nothing happens then vibrates again in a few seconds.
I have googled a little bit and found out that it might be a thing called bootloop or soft brick but haven't found a working solution anywhere.
TL;DR I bootloopeed my phone. please help people. the past few days without smartphone I understood I can't live without it ;((
sorry for my bad English.

1. Read this link first: http://xperiafirmware.com/2-uncategorised/30-androxyde-xperia-flashtool
2. Download flashtool from
http://www.firmwaremobile.com/index.php/xperiadownload/file/233-flashtool-9-2014
3. Download the firmware from
http://d-h.st/nCu
4. Install the flashtool in C:
5. Go to C:\flashtool\flashtool drivers and install the drivers
6. paste the ftf firmware file downloaded in step 3, to folder „Firmware“ included in the XPERIA Flashtool i.e. C:\flashtool\firmwares
7. open the XPERIA Flashtool, click on flash and choose downloaded firmware, than click ok. Important - if you do not want to delete any data of your phone, just uncheck flashing userdata.sin file. All data will remain in your phone, but sometimes it can cause additional troubles. So it is better (and I recommend that) to do the backup of your personal data, than proceed with clean instalation and then restore your personal data.
8.*turn off your phone and when Flashtool shows pop up window, connect phone to PC with holding volume down button*
9. after few minutes all is done and your phone gets started
Hit thanks if it helped!! And tell me when it is done
Thanks a lot. I would press THANKS 100x times if I could. Everything is working perfectly thanks to you !!!!!!!!!

Hope some buddy know how i must fix my phone
I recently fixed a bricked XZP with Flashtool, get the latest stock firmware from Xperifirm if you dont have on hand an older hackable firmware from XperiFIX
in Xperifirm setting, set it to extract firmware automatically once downloaded to speed things up,
In flashtool/Tools/bundles/Create, select source folder (your downloaded extracted firmware)
in device "double click" & select your phone model from the list.
branding: add as your download example, custom_uk
version: firmware version copy & paste from download
copy all files from file list to firmware content & click create
this will build a .ftf flash tools file which can then be flashed to your bricked device
just follow the prompts in flashtool....
worked for me,
good luck

Ofcourse i have and flashed .34 amd .75 frimwares with both neflasher and flashtool but none of them fix my problem.is it something that dosent change when we flash stock frimwares.
Lol. Sony phones are really hard to brick. You really can't brick a Sony phone even if you intentionally wanted to. I've even had a failed flash (phone disconnected while flashing) and was still able to flash using flashtool.
Anyways, I know this has been said before, but what happens after you flash using flashtool? Did you check all the boxes for a full wipe?
BTW, bad mouthing a phone just because you can't solve your problem won't help you.
