My last hope to unbrick?

The phone is bricked. I flashed to the i9000 firmware and was about to root the phone and didn't bother to flash the new kernel yet. I get into recovery to go to reinstall packages to install the root, and to my surprise the power button didn't work to select since I had the wrong kernel. SO I do adb reboot download and then I try to flash the new kernel. Odin just freezes there and doesn't do anything, I unplug the data cable and then it says FAIL! on Odin. I take out the battery and put it back in to see if the phone will still boot, and now I'm stuck on the phone/computer. People have tried helping and they told me about every single key combo to put it in download and none of them work. When I told Vol+ and power the screen flashes black and then I wait for it to do it the second time and i let go of the power and it stays there at phone/computer. I've done everything I can possibly see to do it and this is my last hope to get it to work again, or else I have to take it to AT&T and lose all my stuff on the internal SDcard.
EDIT: AT&T refuses to replace the phone.

From designgears' one click Odin thread. Not sure if you tried this, but it might work.
Good luck.
EDIT: realized it might be helpful if I included the link to the actual thread. Sorry about that.

"We can't replace the phone since you are not the original buyer of the phone. Talk to the person you traded with to get the receipt"
Apparently my phone was stolen because when I mention the receipt, he doesn't reply.

[Q] HELP! Captivate won't go into download mode with volume +/- and USB!!!

I was trying to flash my captivate with adb reboot download and the battery fell out in download mode. I tried volume +/- to fix but no luck! Please help me! Stuck at Phone warning sign computer screen!

Doesn't go into download mode at all! Just shows the corrupted firmware every time I try it.

No, computer doesn't recognize it. If I had an ADB connection, I'd adb reboot download but when I try adb, it says no device found.

try plugging in usb with the battery out and then holding vol+- and inserting the battery while holding the volume buttons if not you need to make a jig.

I've had success with this method to get into Download Mode:
1. Remove battery, SIM and microSD from phone (if you have one)
2. Wait at least 10 seconds with the phone in this state
3. Plug your phone into your computer (this step has always been optional for me)
4. Hold Volume Up/Down, don't let go!
5. While holding both volume keys, insert the battery
If it worked, you should almost instantly be in Download Mode. I've omitted step 3 and still had success using those steps on my batch 1007 phone. In general, I get my phone into Download Mode first, and then plug it into the computer.

I'm probably just going to go to AT&T tomorrow and get them to exchange it if I can't get it to get into download mode tonight.

That's a semi-bricked screen. No, normal method to go into download mode won't work in this state.
There are instructions to recover from this state into download mode. I have posted a few links in the past but don't have it right now. IIRC, you need to hold both vol buttons and Power button and wait until screen goes blank twice before release the power button so that your phone could go into download mode.
The other way is to rig a microUSB plug with a 301k resistor connected between pin5 and one of the data pin. This will put your phone instantly into download mode. There is a thread dedicated for this. Search.

I've been having the same issue and none of the methods mentioned on the forums have worked. I recently updated to a custom 2.2.1 rom (Paragon) and when I tried to flash back to stock with odin (afterwards), it gave me the finger (got stuck in the process). I tried to unplug and plug back in the usb, restart odin, pc, reinstall drivers (none of which helped). So my dumbarse decided to take the battery out to reboot the phone. Usually after doing so in the past, I've been able to manually get into download mode using the 3 button combo, but haven't been able to so far. I haven't tried making a jig yet, knowing me, I might seriously break something that way.
I was reading somewhere that 2.2.1 breaks the 3 button combo (along with 1 click root for that matter). Just wondering if there is anything else I can try or should I just make a jig? Should I take it in to AT&T and see if they can do something or should I call them? Just wanting some advice from the Gurus here.
edit: and "no, I can't do it through ADB or I would've already".

2.2.1 puts the 3-button setup to whatever the i9000 uses, which is different from the Captivate. Nobody's made a fix yet AFAIK.

for me i managed to get it into download mode, BUT, when i try running Odin it's stuck at "DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!"
any thoughts?

What build is your phone, located under battery. Something like 1010

Search for Sparkfun in the dev forum for Captivate. Easy to make jig (that's been mentioned before) that will get you out of the woods.

I am having issues getting into download mode myself. Samsung Captivate SGH-I897. I just got it less than two weeks ago. Played with some of the features. Did the root. Did the ROM manager. Everything I needed to do to have Serendipity 5.12 installed. Did it. worked great. Was missing some of the apps I enjoyed from the gate(Samsung EMail). So i read up that u could make a custom Serendipity in the kitchen.
Put the phone to JH6 from Odin. Also did the master clear. So now I am at 2.1 update 1 from Odin.
However, Now I cant get Clockwork Recovery at all ( when option is selected it goes to default recovery every single time ). I did try to re-install the correct flash for Clockwork, same results.
So, i thought maybe something didnt copy or flash or clear correctly and was going to do an Odin procedure again, cant get into download mode now. NOT AT ALL.
The phone will just re-boot into JH6. It operates normally, however I can shake JH6. No download mode. No Clockwork recovery.
I am noob, I am a quick hands on learner though. Not even sure if this will get the response desired.

[Q] LG P920 3D briked!!!...HELP please...

UPDATE 13 oct 2011.
the phone is still in lg hands...nobody knows anything about when and if it will come back
incredible...

cool down
it's really hard to brick a phone...
read the guide for flashing via pc and it will work again.
i'm not shure but think the o3d has also a downloadmode (volume down+power)
if the downloadmode also doesn't work it's really ****ed up
but as i said i'm not shure if there is a downloadmode...
edit: ok sorry... at the moment there is no way to update the phone via pc without a running os. sorry but you'll have to w8 till there is a way. (like odin from samsung)
edit2: found a solution!
but it's in german...
http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitu...23075-how-lg-3d-notfallwiederherstellung.html
you can translater it via google and if you don't understand everthing i can help you ->austira

Flash KDZ or use LG's recovery to go back to normal. Boot it up on download mode for this.
This is what happens when you start flashing crap from 2X.
Probably since partitions are different, you've just formatted what you shouldn't have.

tnk everybody but it don't go in download mode! or maybe i wrong something....how should i try to go in download mode? with key combination it don go! please help

Try this:
1. Remove battery
2. Press volume up
3. While it is pressed, insert the usb cable
Should enter download mode I think.
If it doesn't, try the same thing but with volume down.
Afterwards, you can let go of the key, and go to LG mobile tools and on the menu click recovery. It'll ask for your IMEI, put it there and press ok. Wait for the process to finish.

but...KDZ is a us odin is for samsung? this is the first lg i have...maybe the last too

I try but after i inpout emai and product code, the download never start and a error messege appear

Try to flash a KDZ then.

how to flash a KDZ? what sw do I need?

I've try to flash a kdz but the problem is the same than before. the pc don't see the phone. I've try without battery pushing vol up and plug usb but it begin to feel the phone andg give error message sound continuosly like a loop. if i look the hardware in PC proprity it appear snd disappear with the sound tha i told before. it is like if I plug the phone 1 time for second...the pc reveak and reject it...I'm in a **** situation

Did you install the drivers?

yes of course..as I wrote on first message I've had allready root the phone with oneclick when everything happened...so the pc was allready pared with the phone...I really don't know what to do! that's a bad day for me

Spero che tu sia piu fortunato di me... ti spiego in inglese se no mi cazziano.
Connect usb cable, the telephone start automatically.
Press and hold power button to shutdown the telephone (ca 5 seconds)
Press Power button and volume up (hold the key for 10 seconds).
You can hear the usb sound from your operating system.
Repress power and volume up for another 10 sec.
You can hear usb sound, don't remove finger from two buttons, waiting another sound.
Now you can use lg software to try to restore the original firmware.
The problem for my telephone is the "upgrading firmware" page don't start... any time I power up the telephone I see the upgrading firmware page but the progress bar don't move.
I hope you have more lucky
(sorry for my bad english)

This is a little guide on optimus 3d, for reset to factory settings
Get updater if you don't have go here http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
After the installation start the updater and follow these steps.
1 Install the correct drivers
2 select the top right option and select your model phone from list “LGP920”
3 after the drivers are installed extract the battery and shut-down, then while holding volumUp button insert the usb cable in to pc.
4 Once your pc finds the phone let it install the drivers
5 Once done your phone will display “S/W Upgrade”.
6 now in the updater go to >support go to >select disaster recovery.
7 before recovery starts enter imei and serial number of the phone.
Wait until the process finishes and everything is completed, remove the usb cable insert the battery and start normally.
Hope this helps.

Strange icon on my Startup Infuse 4G

I think i BRICKD it.....
I was performing a Restore to STOCK using Odin 3 v 1.7 and the GTG's UNBRK files from here.
The process failed while the phone was in Download mode.
Now all I get is
An icon which looks like
A Cell Phone ........Exclamation Mark (in orange).......... Computer
The phone is not responding to any of the buttons:
1. No power down... I have to remove the battery and then no matter what I do, power on or else, it shows the same icon
Any one else been here?
Any way to FIX this or am I SOL?

I believe this is in the wrong forum but I understand your panic. Don't take my word for this but I believe you need a USB jig to get out of this. Or unless try this:
1. Pull battery for 15-20 seconds
2. Re insert battery
3. Hold volume up/volume down while plugging in USB cord from computer
4. If it succeeds you should be in download mode!
P.s. Sorry if you have already done this, i'm just attempting to help you troubleshoot

Uhh, I haven't gotten stuck on that on my Infuse I don't think, but with the Captivate the solution was to hold vol + and - and power at that screen until it rebooted, then let go of power and it would fall back to download mode.
And yes, this is not development and should be in the general section.

Yes, I meant to write Holding BOTH Vol+ and - and USB insert.
Here are the steps that I got me here... one step is completely stupid....
1. Yesterday, I was trying to get 3e recovery, so got the zip file
2. MISSED this step - of Copying the recovery file to SD Card.
3. Renamed the old recovery in the bin folder to _old
4. Rebooted and then used the ROM Manager to reboot into Recovery.... Bad idea - The phone went blank....
5. Only solution I saw was to ODIN in the GTG's Ultimate unbrick.....
6. Went into Download Mode....
7. ODIN sees the COM Port.
8. Loaded the .pit and other files per instructions....
9. Pressed START
10. ODIN reports failed.
11. Unhooked the USB and HARD rebooted.... Arrived at this icon.
Yes, i am a noob and am paying for my mistake of overlooking a step.

You could possibly try heimdall... do you have kies installed (only needed for drivers)? Hmm, I couldn't help you any further w/o actually being there
Definitely keep me posted!

I have bricked my phone a few times now . Same error screen and everything, just do the vol + and vol - down trick , let it boot to the error screen and startup odin 1.8 or higher. That part is very important. Odin 1.8 will recognize it as a serial device and write the software . Good luck!

I've been in that icon, but I just tried back with Odin gtg's unbrick and it went through perfectly as always. I got there because I forgot to select the pit file and Odin started to download and it failed.
I think that symbol is the same download mode but in this case you must use Odin because the phone can't startup itself. Just don't panic if it worked for me then it would work for you.

Oh yeah, that error screen is a download mode isn't it? I forgot about that. So just use unbrick from there or flash something else you want.

Yeah, that error screen is download mode, just like the usual "Construction Android" screen, with one difference:
The phone is forcing download mode because it knows it's hosed up. It's saying "flash something with Odin or you're not going anywhere".
So you're already in download mode - no need for button combos, the phone realized you needed it and went straight there for you.
BTW this doesn't belong in Development.

Those symbols only mean that it did not finish the last operation/flashing
Its the same as download mode.
So go back into those "Cell Phone ........Exclamation Mark (in orange).......... Computer"
Which is download mode and start a new flash of the Ultimate Unbrick.
Good luck, be sure to to put PIT to PIT PDA to PDA and PHONE to PHONE
in odin!!!

GOOD NEWS.
That was simple... Followed the suggestions from Nopcodex90 , Mrjunky and all....

Take out the battery, put battery back in, hold both volume buttons, continue holding and plug in usb. You should be in download mode, now retry odin with GTG ultimate unbrick.

You need to hard reset your phone!!!!! Because u bricked your phone!!
Here is the text from a thread:
This is for all those who have soft bricked their phone, if you are experiencing a bootloop or some other problem here is a detailed guide how to get your phone back to working condition. If your phone is not entering download mode or recovery mode and even if a USB jig is not possible or not working.... This is the guide for you-I do not know whether this will work in all situations but you could still try it if you have no other alternative. The Galaxy SL has a hard reset button between the camera lens and the speaker... DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1)Open the back over 2)Check between the Camera Lens and the speaker 3) There is a hard reset button which is a small cavity 4) You will need two people for this.. Keep that cavity pressed with a pin 5) Keeping it pressed use the download mode combo- Volume down + Home + Power pressed. 6)Wait and try it a couple of times and your phone will enter download mode 7)Flash to a stock firmware

If your phone is not entering download mode or recovery mode and even if a USB jig is not possible or not working.... This is the guide for you-I do not know whether this will work in all situations but you could still try it if you have no other alternative. The Galaxy SL has a hard reset button between the camera lens and the speaker... DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!
1)Open the back over 2)Check between the Camera Lens and the speaker 3) There is a hard reset button which is a small cavity 4) You will need two people for this.. Keep that cavity pressed with a pin 5) Keeping it pressed use the download mode combo- Volume down + Home + Power pressed. 6)Wait and try it a couple of times and your phone will enter download mode 7)Flash to a stock firmware

thank you bro I'll try it..

:O
When i broke up my phone i just waited 1 day and i could use download mode and screens stopped in samsung load.
Once you can use download mode try to flash a Rom with odin`s program. The most cook rooms have already root so you should have ur phone back!

Can I add this to the FAQ?

it's got its own thread, by adi_pat. rohan posted from there. ask adi_pat, I'm sure he'll say yes.
if you like, add the bit about taking the battery out for 30 min or whatever, 'cause it could be that having some voltage in the circuits helps maintain the "memory" of the faulty operation. after draining the voltage completely (including letting capacitors discharge), perhaps there will be no more hard bricks

Ya you are right... some components in the circuit like capacitors flip flops etc all have a particular state even in off condition after some time all the current drains from them and comes to initial condition...
