[Q] Problem with Star A2000 - General Questions and Answers

Got a (china) Star A2000. Work ok for a week or two. Have it rooted. Hit the factory reset and now it comes on, but with a picture of andriod saying touch. It reconizes the touch, but thats it. Trying to flash but can't make it work on PC(XP Pro SerPac 3). Can't seem to find anything to make a sd card work. I 7Zip files but phone dosn't do anything with it. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something stupid. Can anyone help???? Really trying to learn andiod, I love this stuff. forgot I don't have a sim card in it yet. do I have to have it for android to work, cause it worked like that when I first got it.

Try to flash a stock rom in recovery since you are rooted...

Flashing Star A2000 phone
Hello friend,you have to use the software SP_Flash_Tool_v1.1110.00 HEREat your computer to flash this phone... Also you need the USB driversHERE for this phone...
You need the phone ROM software for your Star A2000 HERE After downloading this ROM you have to extract it at your PC.Then you have install the drivers when you plug your phone cable to your pc.After that you have to open this SP Flash Tools and click Scatter Loading and locate the extracted ROM Folder and choose Android_scatter.txt After that remove all the "tix" and leave only Android (system.img)to be checked.After that turn your phone off and when you plug the phone cable to your pc you have to press F9 on the computer when this SP_tools is at your active window on your desktop.If everything is fine you have to see in yellow % moving from 0 to 100 %.If not you are not installed usb drivers or the usb com port is different.Try from another usb plug... If you see 100% and then OK and green cirle the phone is flashed.Power on your phone and leave it maybe 10 min. to loading.Hope you understand my bad English.

[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

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 )
Edit : I can help via team viewer if you want.

[Q] LG optimus 3d p925g bricked

I've looked at the similar threads , to be honest even if one of the suggestions might work , none of the people seem to have the same problem from my understanding.
So apologize ahead of time as i imagine someone has bricked in a similar fashion in some thread buried somewhere.
But have an unlocked P925g lg optimus 3d, got a few days ago.
Last night i rooted just fine , root checker says it was rooted properly.
Then i installed rom manager as i was following manbearpigs post.
When i got to flash clockwork mod , i clicked the button and it looked like it was doing some flashing , but the phone turned off to reboot??
and now when i power on the lg logo appears and then the screen goes funny.
If i try to hold the power down and 3d button , i get a green screen . However i'm very unsure of what to do next.
However when i plug into usb the phone goes black , refuses to turn back on until i take the battery out.
I'd pay someone here if i could , but i'll take any help i can get.
Appreciate any help.
I don't KNOW, but just an idea:
May be your phone is stuck in download mode?
With this latest ICS (original, not ported) my phone shows black screen when in download mode (no message SW UPDATE and something in Korean).
Did you try to plug your phone to PC? Does your comp see it?
From what I read flashing wrong CWM might cause problems...
Also try to read Ressurection thread by xbsa, it helped me couple times
Don't give up!

My computer does see the phone if i take the battery out , and push the volume down while it connects. However when it connects , it cannot find drivers that it find originally.
I'd be happy just to have the phone back to froyo right now , however i am not giving up , just asking for advice. Will reply once i look at the resurrection post you suggested.

just try the LG flash tool to flash without reinstalling drivers, if it doesn't flash you have to uninstall all LG drivers, reboot your computer, install again LG drivers and flash Bin files using Flash tool, you don't have to flash Bin and fls files at the same time, first Bin file, if there is no network close LG flash, open it again and flash Fls at second time to get the right baseband (sometimes it not necessery to flash this fls files)
or just follow this guide

To get to download mode you need to keep battery in, remove sim and SD card. Hold vol+ and plug USB cable. You should see message SW UPDATE and some Korean. My phone now doesn't show it, just blank screen. But LG Flash sees it and u can flash bin fls.

Remove drivers and use the LGMobile Support Tool to install the drivers, if your phone is connected it should detect it and finish the install process. I believe the P925G is a Rogers device? You might have to select Rogers as your carrier to find the drivers.

ok so i've deleted all lg related material from my computer, when i connected the phone to the computer with battery in , nothing happens.
Without battery , it detects automatically , then it continues a loop of picking it up and dropping off .
So i moved to my laptop , attempted to follow the guide kupuku posted, however after getting the went logo on the phone , it never gets past that stage no matter what i do.
I've also tried LG support tool , it doesn't detect my phone on either my computer or laptop , even after installing/reinstalling the proper drivers.
LG does have a live chat which isn't open and the phone number can not be reached from my area.. i imagine its a 1800 number for asia or something as i do live in Canada.
My only other choice is to take the phone down to a guy that can get it out of boot loop for close to what i paided for the phone a few days ago.
Least to say , that option is something i want to do , nor can i afford to do.
once again i apprecaite the help that has been given , and for any that will be given.
edit:
Ok so i got lg mobile support to work by doing recovery and entering my imei number. Its currently at 4% but its been close to an hour and a half. Might restart and see if that works , but my phone is doing the logo boot repeat pattern still , even during this update. so not sure what exactly is happening.

Soft brick Cubot x6/MT6592 device

Hello everyone I have a few questions. First to say that I'm not new to android yet I don't think I'm very advanced. Anyway here is my situation: I have brand new chinese phone Cubot x6 which is with MT6592 chipset(or CPU I'm not sure). I rooted the device with Framaroot and everything was OK. Then I found CWM for the device on needrom(dot)com and when I flashed the recovery with "Flashify" it rebooteed but it is now stuck on the kernel logo. I can enter only in recovery which is still the stock one . I can't do anything except entering into the stock recovery. I have the stock ROM but it is NOT in a flashable .zip but in a folder which is used by some flashtool program (not the one for Sony but rather for MT devices) I have the stock boot.img, recovery.img and system.img. When I try to "apply update from sideload" and sideload either the boot or recovery images I get "installation aborted". If you guys can tell me how to enter fastboot mode and from there to flash system.img OR any other way to fix the phone please tell me.
P.S. The hardware buttons are only volume rockers and power button. I also tried to install MUIU but it can't flash it with stock recovery.
Please help me. I would be able to manage it somehow if I'm able to use adb, but I can't within the stock recovery.

I'm following this, as I tried to do this before, I was apparently doing something wrong and I couldn't get to the part where the program would actually flash it and it never showed progress bars or even detected the phone, now finally my phone is recognized by the program and it's now stuck on the red progress bar, when I put my mouse over it says "Download DA Now..." ?? what is it?
Should I do something, I don't wanna stop it with fear it may brick completely...
7 mins has passed, do I leave it there? I just saw the red progress bar going up to 100% and stay there... Nothing more, purple, or yellow :crying:
Does it usually takes that much? Another thing is that I don't see the device (usb) showing up in the Device Manager... is something going on? the sp flash tool might have become stuck on it doing nothing, but like I said, I dont wanna stop it with fear it might be actually doing something, and then I break it :S

Alright, thanks for letting me know, i know what is causing to behave like that, the thing is that the usb is abruptly getting disconnected, so when it gets detected it starts working like a charm and it starts detecting the phone in the sp flash tool, etc etc but when its about to start really doing anything like flashing or anything concrete the usb simply disconnects and I dont even see it anymore in the Device Manager list... And it appears as "Mt65xx Loader" in the Device Manager, for just few seconds before terminating... Might be that Im using the wrong drivers or The wrong cable ??? Or both??? I'm using an usb cable that was made for an HTC and it had assigned the drivers of my HTC phone... But at the same time, it uses that Mt65xx Loader driver thing that I installed as well...

Hello, my first language is spanish also, so I understood the tutorial, however, you can refer to the reply that i sent to Qwerty, above, since the problem I think is on either the drivers im using or the cable itself....
Hmmmm so your problem is your connection disconnects after flashing starts .I helped a guy who had a similliar problem (his USB disconnected after 3 seconds so the tool doesn't flash ) I'll look it up again .
In the meantime I would like to know the condition of your phone like how you bricked it ,does the phone show any sign of life etc...

Yup, Oh Lord, ty, I will really appreciate if you can give me a hand on this one and you're working on it alrdy so I'm really grateful :silly: :good:
Alright, conditions, it does shows signs of life, however, I can get past the boot logo, to the "main screen" where launcher is etc, etc... But the thing is that, since I was working on a rootkit, I disabled many of the processes that I saw were 'suspicious' by suspicious I mean (e.g.) "com.gogle.services" with version: "1.4" instead showing something like process: "com.google.services" with version (e.g.) "version: 4.4.22.493 build: 493823-22-1114" you see.
So I started deleting those processes and installed ES File Manager, which it has a built-in cleaner, so after I finished disabling those processes, I started deleting junk files like a mad man using ES File Manager, and I remember going to the root and deleting the majority of the folders and files that I saw, so probably that's whats happening
Now with that previous story told... Now when I get past the boot logo, I just get this plain black screen, with only the battery status showing up, like literally only that, and the top scrollable menu, I'm able to carry it down but it has no notifications whatsoever, when I plug in the USB (while the phone is on) I get nothing whatsoever from the phone to the computer...
Hope this info helps in debugging whats going on here

Try these and let me know if any of these works
1)try uninstalling the drivers. Then reinstall ,reboot PC and try to flash again
2) does your phone has meta mode? Some mt65xx phone have it. To try accessing it do the following
Load the scatter like usual in sp flash tool ,click download ,now power off your phone(with battery) and connect to pc but hold vol+ button as well .(sometimes you need to hold the vol+ button throughout the whole flashing)
As far as your story goes the final solution is either1) flashing your stock ROM or 2)flash a custom recovery and install a custom rom but both of these require the sp flash tool process to work.
Edit : you know I'm telling you this because I believe you tried factory reset already ,if you havnt try it first.
Sp flash tool is for unbricking mostly.

Thank you for everything!
Finally got it to work! everything was working good, except the phone itself since it was semi-bricked apparently it couldn't make it to activate the usb system itself... however I went to SP Flash Tool and instead using only "Download" option, I instead used "Format All + Download" ... And then the USB didn't disconnected anymore and then I saw the tool working on it and the progress bars running perfectly! it took like less than 50 seconds to do everything when I saw the big green check mark on my screen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!! Thanks!

Glad it worked for you ,good luck
BTW if you like avoiding the default bloatwares you might wanna try a custom ROM like cyanogen .look up development for your phone in xda or 4pda

Hard brick but computer makes noise when I connect it

I deleted the original text because I have a few important updates.
As I pointed out in the original text, Odin did not detect it. I don't know why but I decided to try Odin 1.8.5 and it DOES detect it. 3.0.4, 3.0.7, and 3.0.9 do not.
It starts to flash but always gets stuck at "SetUpConnection...".
It isn't a problem with a usb port because I've tried all and the fact it's literally a brand new computer.
It isn't the charger because I've tried 3. But granted they all are the exact same type of charger.
It isn't a problem with Samsung drivers because I've installed two versions and Odin picked up nothing when I uninstalled one to install another.
It detected the Galaxy Victory again after I installed the different Samsung driver but still stuck at "SetUpConnection..."
I do not know if I keep messing up on the download mode combo. I saw before you can enter download mode if you take out the battery, plug the phone into the computer, remove any sd card or sim card, and enter the combo and press up like you would if you actually saw the screen.
I've always been bad at entering download mode, don't know why.
Yes, I know about usb jigs and I actually bought one before I got my new computer but I lost it because it's so small and I literally cleaned my whole room attempting to find it and just can't find it.
I know the usb jig I had did indeed work because it put my Galaxy Tab 3 into download mode so if nothing worked it wasn't because of the usb jig.
There's obviously something that's different between Odin 1.8.5 and the newer Odins to make it recognize on 1.8.5. I actually have flashed with 3.0.4 on my Galaxy Victory before. That's how I got TWRP and it was using my old Acer Aspire One that doesn't work anymore.
I'm running Windows 8.1 and my new laptop is a Tashiba Satellite C55.
Any help would be much appreciated.
