[Q] wow, I think I bricked my phone.. I'm dead...

Hello,
I would like to say thanks for the people on this site that help people like me...
Ok...I am in so much trouble and I will severely get beaten by my dad when he gets home.. I really need this fixed or I am seriously going to run away from home.. I know this isn't your problem it is mine I just pray to god or who ever is listening to me I can fix this and I promise I will never, ever try to do anything to my electronics that shouldn't be done..
I was installing clock work mod and everything was working great.. then I wanted to do a back up.. so I clicked on create back up.. Well, it asked me what I wanted to name the back up file, before I click anything I looked and noticed my usb cable wasn't plugged in (thought it would have to be plugged in to make a back up.. so before I named the file what I wanted (my back up) I decided to plug the usb cable in..when I plugged it in everything frooze.. nothing would work.. so I unplugged it and now my phone only goes to the LG screen and doesn't go any further then that...
I'm in so much trouble and I'm not going to get sent to my room, I'm really gonna get beat bad, we just got this phone about 2 months ago and spent $540.00 on it...
My only option is to fix this phone or runaway... It is cold outside and I don't know where to go so I am terrified..
Please, anyone, please help me?

can you enter clockworkmod?You hold vol down and power button (power button until lg logo appears).If you can try to wipe data.If not look on development section,there's a guide how to unbrick your phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186406

Thanks sooo much!!! xoxoxoxoxo !!!!!!! I kiss your feet!!!!!!! Ok so I am kind of safe? I can fix it if I follow directions? it is possible to fix??
Ok so I did as you said and when I held the buttons down the logo came on and quickly disappeared..that's it.. if I just turn it on normal the logo stays on and that's it, it goes, no further....
Do you by any chance happen to have the link for the page I need?? I have until 6pm est time (5.5 hours) to fix this..
I'm worried and my hands are a bit shaky but I think I will be able to hold any buttons that need to be held..
Thanks again!!!

OMG OMG OMG
UPDATE
I did it!!!!! I think...
I am in the clock mod I think.. what I was doing wrong was when I was holding the volume down and power button I didn't release the power button...this time I released it and held down volume and it worked...
I did a set back to factory and wipe data but when I restart it still goes to the logo..
There are other options in there..should I use any of them?
My options are...
reboot system now
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe cache partition and package recover
wipe nv dynamic partition

Ok...download this http://hotfile.com/dl/141083781/c3be8cf/ThiaiZO3DV2.4GB.zip.html
...go to CWM....wipe data...partition....after that go to..mount......mount usb.....and put ROM in your SD card...after that go to -instal zip from SDcard....find your dowloaded ROm...flash....after that...reboot..

ok man.First of all tried this (found on another topic)
Try hard reset. But you will loose all you data!!! Before you do that, take your SD and SIM card out.
1. Turn the power off. If your LG Optimus 3D is frozen, pull the battery out and reinsert it
2. Hold the Home and Volume Down button
3. Press and hold the Power button until the device turns on
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your device
If it doesn't work try to install another rom for example king 3d which solved the problem I had some time ago

Ok.. I tried what you said John and it did not work.. Still stuck at the screen..
Dr.J
I am kind of lost of what you are saying... I download what you told me too...CWM I am assuming is the thing I get into when I hold the volume down and power button.. I did a Wipe Data....
Now where is the option to mount anything? I dont see a "mount....mount USB..so that is what stage I am at with you.. I downloaded what is needed, I wiped my phone and now what?? I don't see >mount>mount usb
Thanks for all the help

Warning do not put any rom that is not for O3D or you will hard brick your phone only put on trusted roms that are made for your O3D...

ok awesome.. !!! I will do what you told me to do.. omg im so nervous I have no nails left..
So since I can't hook it up to the computer I am going to take my SD card out.. But it into the computer..Load the program on it you gave me to load...take it out of the computer and put it back into my phone.. then I have to turn my phone on..then hold the volume button down..go into CMW do a factory reset... and then how do I install the program from SD card? Will it give me a option? also should I format my SD card first before I put anything on it so it is fresh and clean and then put the program on it???

sorry, didn't mean to double post

just use a micro sd adapter to connect your sd to pc.no need for format.Copy the zip you have downloaded (gave link on my previous post-king rom) and put the sd on your phone.Then enter on cwm(vol down +plus power buttons) and:
do a factory reset
install zip from sd card,find your zip (rom) and install it

now main problem is i cant give it to SSC as i was running XWLA4 build with titanium and unknownzd's kerne any suggestions guys? plz suggest
(i have tried inserting usb jig after re inserting battery but its not powering up)
EDIT: my odin counter is 0, is there any way to flash all the data stored on phone (including system memory) so that i can claim in ssc that its not booting, and after they boot it they dont find that its using custom stuff?

sorry, i think you are in problem nothing we can do now better take it to Service Center..

You can try repair dead APX mode method if you have a backup of your efs folder. Tried that once just to reset counter, maybe it could bring your phone back from the dead.

i do have backup. i just wanna boot my phone in download phone so that i can flash stock indian and atleast can dive in ssc

update: just phone booted in download mode but not able flash using odin its saying error: nand size big

My R died once too, but when I removed sdcard and put it in a freezer for like 10 minutes and then I could boot it up and it was working as long as I didn't turn the screen off - it was enough to do a backup and so on.

Stupid questions, but are you following the guide in 4-5th post? Did the steps above Odin went fine? Last but not the least are you using PIT file to re-partition with Odin?

after trying some times finaly i succeed to falsh but now my phone is in boot loop

guys my phone is not displaying storage drives in recovery mode what the hell is happening now
have anyone tried this method before to recover his sgr? have faced such prob?

Congrats. Now you can atleast take it ssc right?
Maybe you could try the process again just one more time to be sure, only if you want. I'd prefer taking it to ssc

finally my phone is booted perfectly, restored cwm backup and now its going ok but my imei is messed up, my whole 3.5 gb internal sd has been flashed (it was full of game data files which i took many night times to download )
if i want now i can claim a BRAND NEW MOTHERBOARD as my imei is messed lol

Didn't you restore the efs folder? That should solve the imei issue.

[Q] Samsung infuse has gone crazy bricked!!!

ok so i had paranoid android v1.5 and i wanted to update it so i came here and updated to v 2 i believe what ever the newest version of it thats out. ok well i moved the zip folder along with gapps zip folder over the sd card 3 button comboed it to recovery and installed zip from sd card wiped dalviche cache and all it said everything was go i rebooted and it went directly back to recovery this time it updated my cmw to v6 something all looked ok except it didnt boot up so i tried to install again and after that everything went black ... it took me 2 hrs to figure out how to get it to the samsung boot loop screen.. download mode not working also not my computer isnt picking up right it keeps failing...
Now for everyone else they say remove battery wait 2 mins. plug usb into pc then into phone and quickly install battery while holding volume up and down. i usually hold the power button plus volume buttons down then plug in usb and insert battery and then release power to get recovery .\
now i dont have recovery or download mode and for me to get the samsung boot loop i have to use this combo
everything out of the phone battery sim card sdcard everything... plug usb into pc then hold volume down (only) plug in usb and insert battery
and ill get bootloop.
if i hold all three buttons my phone stays black but the pc still shows up that the usb is still not good.... is this a brick i can come back from???!!
o and ive installed kies about 40 times and when i check in my device manager i get the unknown device i uninstall that . what should my device manager look like for a windows 7
also if i unplug everything and remove everything from the phone all i have to do is plug in the usb to the pc and it gets the malfunction error like it always does except it shouldnt be powering on.. unless that the charger failing to iniciate
HOW DO I FIX THIS????!!

I think to get to download mode you don't actually press all three buttons.
pull battery
hold down volume buttons
insert usb
inserb battery
download should start up.

okie dokie
okay well i waited 12 hr.s and tried again and i got it into download mode i downloaded the return to stock odin package uclb3 stock root
flashed it no problems with the flash now it wont read sims card also when i power the phone down to reboot it wont power up...it flashes the little loading circle really fast and then nothing.. download mode is easy to get in and ive tried flashing like 4 times now.. one of those times the sims card was readable but the phone would not reboot. idk whats going on

ugh its late...
okay after gtg unbrick flash and a factory reset i now have signal!!! now let me try to power down and reboot.... i hope it works lol,

holy wtf.....
okay well that was another fail.... everything seems to work fine except rebooting the phone..... now when i go into heimdall suite and run zadig to reinstall deivce driver and then find device and then print pit file it reboots the phone and everything seems fine.. idk whats going on....

Okay i fixed it. Im getting better at trouble shooting. Lol

Please is there a friendly soul who could help me restore the phone? I read somewhere i might have messed up the bootloader.....help please anyone?

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

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
