download mode? - T-Mobile LG G2x

So I downloaded the drivers and nvflash, unzipped into their respective folders, but I'm then I'm done lol. I took the battery out, held volume up/down, and plugged up USB. All I'm getting is an LG Logo. Is that right? On my sgs2, it actually shows that it goes into download mode. Not so on this phone? Also, I'm on windows xp and its not reconizing this device. Ideas? Info? I'd REALLY like to get this device rooted and juiced up. Need to make a point to nay sayer wife

Try a different USB cable. With both volume buttons held when you plug in the phone with battery out system should recognize it and ask to install drivers. Post again if that does not happen.

to get into download mode yes you must unplug all connected media to the P-999, this includes your microSD and battery, wait 5 - 10 seconds before plugging in the power cord to the computer to ensure no electrical currents are running through the device, hold Vol +/- and plug in the device, WinXP should have a pop-up in the taskbar at this point stating that it's recognized as APX device, once it says that you've entered download mode. The screen should remain to look like it's still off during this process.
If WinXP isn't recognizing the device as APX, then double check to make sure you have extracted the ZIP's respectively, should be NvFlash, and APX. If you've already done that, then go into device manager. Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Device Manager.
Within the Device Manager you will notice APX with a yellow question mark next to it, double click on APX in Device Manager and re-install the driver. AFTER you have disconnected your device, then try and enter download mode again.

When you're installing the APX driver, if it comes up with an error saying something similiar to "INF is not digitally signed", then you have to disable windows security features in order to install the software.

I had that exact problem and on windows 8 it was a pain to do. It had to be done from the reboot screen and the first time I did it my computer's screen went black and would not turn on after rebooting for a few hours. Still have no idea why it did that lol. Looks like he's running an earlier version of windows which is better for everything we do here anyway lol

[Q] Cant enter apx mode, cant usb debug, cant mount sdcard, cant update sdcard.

I had an old flash and wanted to update. I was going to update to Nightlies. Couldn't go into usb debugging. Chose zip from sdcard and it says can't mount /sdcard/. Tried to apply /sdcard/update.zip and cant mount and aborts. I decided after rt wants me to enter APX mode (which is volume up and power) nothing. My finger is cramped now from holding for so long. "What do I do wid these keeds," says Cartman. If I could just get APX mode to work, I was going to flash updated Asus Firmware and start over.........help?

From my understanding of APX mode:
Step 1:
Install the naked drivers (IDK where to find them, however they are in this forum)
Step 2:
Connect your USB cable
Step 3:
Press power and volume up.
Step 4:
Wait for USB connection tone from windows
Step 5:
Profit

Weird, that should have worked. your unit should already be off. then use the button combo to power up into APX mode. the screen stays off in APX mode. the only way you know it is in APX mode is when the windows PC detects it plugged in as a USB device. am i reading correctly? you are saying that pushing the button combo will not power up the unit in APX mode?

Yup! I hear the sound on the computer suggesting it went into the APX mode, but screen is still off. If I remember correctly, isnt there suppose to be a screen for APX mode? Even if there isnt, I tried to follow through with the program to change it and it is if it never went into the mode.

I did APX mode before on my droid 2, and the screen never came on. It just stayed black. Got the connection sound and then did a push to my device. I had a bad upgrade while I was in Iraq/Kuwait over WiFi for the phone. It killed the CDMA portion of the phone. I didn't know because I only used the WiFi at the time. Anyways, to make a long story short. There are some commands you can use to see if you can communicate with your device via APX mode. I think there is a shell program out there that will run in Command Prompt. You can issue commands to make sure your device is recognized via APX.

[Help] Bricked my Nexus what's next? :(

Hi, this situation is kind of strange and I hope it's just the battery and not the whole goddamn phone.
What I'm dealing with at the moment is:
The phone doesn't boot
When plugged onto charger or USB cable it boots but stuck at Google logo after a blink and stays there. Also, Home, Back and other buttons are lighten.
When "forcefully" put into fastboot mode, e.g. after plugging it onto USB and instantly pressing Vol Up + Power it stuck there as well, volume rocker no more response neither does the power button. Also, I notice there are no commands at the end like "USB int" etc we see normally.
Fastboot or ADB returns no device found
Please help. I personally believe it could be due to battery, what do you guys think?
Thank you.
As long as you can see the google logo, your device is not bricked. GIve more useful information; like your computer operating system, the last thing you did before this happened, etc.

Thanks. My OS is Windows 8.1 Update 1. The last thing was to install UPDATE-SuperSU to root so that I can install ROM Manager to update Recovery but the installation was aborted so I attempt to flash it via Fastboot with success. Then, wanted to install SlimKat but it couldn't let me mount USB storage so that I can put the .zip file. I, then stupidly click on install via ADB but didn't know how to go back so I pulled the battery and powered up; used ADP push command to transfer said the file, but again for some reason I had to pull the battery and since then I am in above position.

Put the device in bootloader and plug it into the computer, be patient, my phone is rather slow to get detected sometimes.. (Up to 30 min.) Check your drivers on the computer, try rebooting the boot loader from just pressing the power button (while in boot loader mode)..

Hi, device doesn't go into bootloader without plugging it to computer (I've to press required buttons BEFORE plugging OTG cable). And when it boots in fastboot mode it doesn't let me press any button either. I kept it plugged in for sometime as well when it when it was at Google logo; will try to do the same while in fastboot mode too and let you know. As for drivers, same computer was used before when it was working and it detected just fine immediately (gave me a pain to find the right drivers though - PDANet was a life saver).
EDIT:
I should mention that I broke the OS before this happened by formatting /system folder and wiping other data from CWM recovery - I think, I also rebooted it without flashing the ROM as well.

The problem is, even the Toolkit doesn't recognize the device no matter what. Even the keys for ODIN don't work, aren't they Home+VOL+ and Power?
EDIT1:
Kept plugged in for little longer as suggested but it heats up (it's too hot here) so I plugged out. Going to be running it off of Linux and lets see how it goes. :fingers-crossed:
EDIT2:
Tried Adam's UnBrickable method on Linux and even that couldn't find device. But that was to be expected since Adam clearly mentioned in his post that this tool isn't for those who see anything on their screen.
Whelp! Currently I can only see I:\ drive in device manager and that's all under portable devices and that's all. I see the same even in BIOS boot options, it's listed as "Google".
Guess need to close this thread now.

[Q] Bricked : Flashing sbl1

I was trying to flash BlissPop. It didn't flash. So, I decided to flash fastboot image of CM11s 44.
I issued this command :
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot reboot-bootloader
The flash sbl1 command gave an error.
I rebooted bootloader. The phone turned off, but it never turned on.
I don't know how could it brick my phone, because I've done it a few times without any error.
My battery was on 65% when I was doing all this. So, I don't suspect battery has died.
But, I'm charging the phone anyway. There is no lead, but the power bank shows that battery is taking charge.
When I connect the phone to PC, it shows no signs of any device connected. Device manager doesn't show any thing/any refresh.
I've tried to push the power button for about a minute for 5 times, as 1+1 site says.
I've tried vol up + power and vol down + power buttons. It doesn't boot it.
I've no access to fastboot, recovery, OS, anything.
Please, suggest me solutions.
Did you flash the firmware updates before you flashed bliss? There is a toolkit out there, linked in bliss thread, on how to unbrick. I'll see if I can't find it.

Thanks. I looked at it.
But, as you said I can't do anything till the phone turns on even once.
BTW, I highly suspect battery drain, because I was in TWRP for long to take backup, flashing MultiROM, etc. TWRP is known to not allow charging, as reported by some people.
Can you tell me whether flashing sbl1 could have bricked it or not? It didn't fail to flash in past and it never caused problem.
I had flashed CM12 firmware update before flashing BlissPop. Could reflashing CM11s fastboot image over it cause problem. I think it should not, because fastboot image replace all things. What's your opinion?
Had the same problem. Try first leave it charging for 12 hours after that plug it in. Then get into fastboot this is not easy. Just hold vol up and power together for atv least 5 Sec.

I guess its possible. But I would do what falastine said. Charge it for some time. With a soft brick it may not show anything on the screen but could actually be on. So be patient trying to get the toolkit to find the phone. I've heard in another thread someone's phone did in fact connect but nothing was on the screen

any progress on this? i think the exact same thing happened to me. was trying to flash back to CM11s using fastboot, but it died. now i dont get anything at all. no response to the chrager, or the computer or anything.
ive tried holding the power button, holding the vol keys with the pwr button, but no avail.
let me know if you figured it out!

I left the phone in charge for 24 hours using original charger and wire.
Tried long presses for multiple times - nothing happens.
Tried vol up/ vol down combinations with power button for long nothing happens.
I am now waiting for 12 hours and then will plug it again, as some thread said.
In between I'm trying to download a tool from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/tool-oneplusrecovery-tool-v1-0-restore-t2991851

So this is how i did it.
1. install the drivers from OPO (located in the .zip file from this tool https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/t...ks-etc.237827/ )
2. Open your device manager (Start - right click on computer - properties - devices manager)
3. Press on power + vol up for like 10 sec until you see a device showing up (called QHSUSB_BULK)
4. Download the qualcomdriver ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/vgujdut93m341qm/Qualcomm 2012.rar?dl=0 ). Right click on this devices and click on "Update Driver Software" -> "Browse my computer for driver software" -> locate the Qualcomm 2012\fre\Windows7 8 or vista folder depending on your setup. Update the driver.
5. Now the OPO tool should recognize your device. I turn off all my network connections so the usb device can't find other drivers. (in case windows overwrite the driver).

The hard part is that I could not get the phone detected by PC as anything.
I followed the same key combination which you mentioned. It doesn't help.
Can you tell me if battery is totally depleted, will it be possible for phone to be detected?
I've tried to charge my phone with various chargers and power banks. The battery stays cold, the charger stays cold, power bank blinks and get depleted, but phone is not vibrating even on long press.
I've tried on virtual PC, a XP machine. And on other real XP PC.
Thanks for your help.

Even if your battery is depleted it should get detected in your machine when u press volume up and power while its connected to your pc.hold it for a minute this combination should show something also keep your pc volume up to hear any port connect discconect sounds.If this doesnt happen then your hardware is dead no other option but try to give it to opo for service.
So, nothing ever comes on the screen? Does the phone vibrate if you hold the power button for 20 seconds? If so, this might be of help, if it sounds like it's bricked: http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732

Going to OPO Service Center.

Power button won't work after using recovery tool

Have an HTC One M8 Windows [T-mobile] which was running Windows 10 from Insider program. Downloaded the latest device recovery tool and was attempting to reset to Windows 8.1. Got stuck somewhere in the process, now I can't get the boot screen to come up. Phone is fully charged and visible to pc when plugged in by USB. Even the recovery tool detects the phone, and I can view phone contents. But pushing/holding the power button does not cause the phone to vibrate and no combination of power and volume buttons has any effect.
Never heard of this issue before and can't find anything about this anywhere. Any suggestions? Perhaps I need to copy something via USB / Windows file manager to device?

NEVER MIND! After playing around a while longer and holding the button down for nearly a minute (maybe longer), it FINALLY vibrated and reset. UGH. Oh well, problem resolved.

bricked: a confession,

1) stuck in bootloader
2) changed to B slot thru terminal . following a thread I guess
3) got into recovery (.IMG) but couldn't flash zip
4) seen "edl" and thought, what's that? So I clicked it
5) screen now blank
6) buttons have no response
7) I've owned the phone for 2 days (new)
Am I out a lot of $ or is there a hope for me
does your computer detect the phone at all when you plug it in? I know it isn't responsive, but try powering it on when you plug it in via USB and see if your PC detects anything.
Seems like you stuck at edl mode. Try holding vol down (or up) + power buttons for at least 30 seconds. Than you can try flashing stock rom from fastboot mode.

Everytine I plug it in (windows8: test mode) the PC makes a sound but can't seem t find the device in the device manager.
Msmdownload tool finds nothing
Hold volume up + power button together for 10 to 30 seconds. Then release. Wait a few seconds. Now press and hold power button until it vibrates to see if it boots

OnePlus 7pro bought directly from OnePlus
( i think its GM1915)
windows 10 pc
device manager lists phone as Kedacom USB Device ---> Android Bootloader Interface
i downloaded "10.0.3-GLOBAL-OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.O.23_OTA_023_all_1912032357_76b445-FASTBOOT"
ran the "flash-all" batch file
when it's done, phone reboots into "Qualcomm: CrashDump"
I can press the up+down volume buttons w/ the power button and get back to Fastboot mode
I can also get into the Chinese mode.. with that, i click ENGLISH then WIPE EVERYTHING
still no luck.... truly is an interesting BRICK
Well, you can try flashing using "TOOL ALL IN ONE".
Did you try the MSMtool?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/msm-tool-guac-t3934691/amp/
I also bricked mine a couple days ago , restored it by using MNSTOOL , you can find threads or youtube videos how to use it , it will finish it in around 5 minutes and also it will lock the bootloader.

so many times i've tried the msmdownload tool
my device is not recognized... so i figure it's the driver
i followed the instructions.. it says with phone off ,hold the vol up+down for 5 secs then plug in to usb on pc
the drivers should auto download into the pc
it did.. i see in Device Manager under PORTS the qualcomm driver appear when phone is plugged in
but phone is in Qualcomm CrashDump mode
when i reboot to FASTBOOT MODE (by holding volume up+down and power button) the Device Manager
recognizes the phone as Kedacom USB Device/Android Bootloader Interface
(not Qualcomm)
and of course MSMDownload tool does not recognize phone... i'll keep trying

I will tell you the full guide.
1. Extract msm(whatever).zip
2. Turn off your phone
3. Open msm.exe (green icon) as admin
5. Hold vol+ and vol- for 30 (no less)
5. Connect usb while holding both volume buttons and release after connecting the usb
6. As soon as you connect the usb hit start.
msmtool does not recognize

i figure it's the driver.. windows keeps installing a specific driver for the phone.
but i think it's the wrong driver
(doesnt say QUALCOMM in the device manager)
so now i have to force install the driver
by right clicking on the phone in the device manager and working thru the menu to get to 'HAVE DISK'
so i have to be in windows as an admin
https://www.technipages.com/windows-administrator-account-login-screen
then after downloading the Qualcomm driver in a .cab file as admin i can right click and choose install .cab file
***AAAAAND nope can't right click to have "install" appear in the menu
FUDGE FUDGE FUDGE
all because windows says the driver is already installed... and has a kaed???? driver instead of the Qualcomm
can my life with this phone be any more difficult??

You can just use the drivers which are provided in the msm archive.
tried manually install a .cab with a terminal command as admin
but i get error "An error occurred trying to open - c:\usb.cab Error: 0x80070003
maybe i have to rename it KB(+number).cab in order for it to work (instead of usb.cab)
NOPE THAT DIDNT WORK

Msmtool is what you need to use. You will recover it for sure
