[Q] Can't seem to install ClockworkMod Recovery Flasher

Just got my G2x, and I'm excited to install one of the ROMs. I'm trying to install the ClockworkMod Recovery Flasher following the instructions in this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 but "APX Device" isn't being detected. I have the LG driver installed on the computer. Can someone please help me out?

When trying to install the APX driver are you being sure to remove the phone battery, hold volume up+down together, and then plug the phone into the computer? You have to keep both volume buttons held down until the device is recognized. Then you go into device manager on your computer and right click on the APX device and update the driver software from there. Point the driver installation to the APX folder that was unzipped with the nvflash tool. The computer will find the appropriate driver and install it.

Ahhh, yeah.. Sadly the computer won't recognize it when I hold the volume up+down together and plug it into the computer. Battery is taken out before I attempt it. It's really weird . I was following the directions from the thread down to the T. Thanks a lot for the help!!

Does your computer recognize the phone when you plug it in with the power on? As in can you use usb storage or tethering? If so it should recognize it in apx.

I wonder if you try uninstalling all drivers for the phone (LG drivers and apx drivers) and install them fresh?

It seems I haven't installed the APX driver. I do have the One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-06-16.rar, and inside is an APX folder with a bunch of .dll files. Are those what I'm supposed to use?

Alright it seems I was able to install the APX driver, thanks for all the help! It was odd... to put it in APX mode I left the battery in and held the power button plus the volume up and down buttons.. Weird.

Were you using a USB port on your computer or through a hub? You cannot use a hub to flash most phones. Because it worked with your battery it appears that the USB port you used is not supplying the required 5 volts, 500ma it is supposed to supply. Sounds like you were on an unpowered hub and it did not pass through power from the computer as it should.

That's possible. I used the USB port that's installed in the front of my tower. Thanks for the explanation!

Virtualbox VM not recognizing phone
I'm using the VirtualBox VM method to flash clockworkmod recovery from this post: [RECOVERY] G2x ClockworkMod flash for Mac. I have completed steps 1-7 and everything seems to be in working order. However, once I pull the battery and hold down the volume up and volume down then plug in the USB. Nothing happens. The phone never turns on nor is recognized by Virtualbox VM. What am I doing wrong?

The phone doesn't turn on. You will hear a beep that the phone tried to connect to the computer. Usually driver installation fails. You then go to the control panel, find the device under USB Devices and then direct Windows to manually install the driver from the APX directory. The screen on the phone doesn't show anything until AFTER a successful flash of the recovery (counter-intuitive but that is how it works). If you are using a VB VM setup, you need to make sure the USB ports are assigned to your virtual machine first.

[Q] opo not being detected by my computer

Hello! Im new here
The thing is that I bought a bricked OPO today hoping that I could fix it. I've been like 4-5hrs straight trying and nothing!
The real problem is that my OPO is not being recognized by my computer. (Im running Windows 8.1)
When I connect it to the PC the device vibrates but no sound, I go to device manager and it's not there (not as QHSUSB_BULK, not as UNKNOWN DEVICE, not as nothing, it just dont exist)
I installed the Samsung drivers, OnePlusRestoreTool, Bacon Root ToolKit, OnePlus One Toolkit and nothing seem to work...
I tried to get it into FastBoot mode but it ony vibrates every 10 consecutive seconds I hold the vol up + pwr button and NOTHING happen, screen remain black and no sound by my PC recognizing the device...
I tried alternate USB, alternate cable and nothing...
If you guys can help me that would be awesome!
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english.

First of all thanks for your reply.
I have seen this thread but as you can see to uninstall the old driver I need to:
' Go to Device Manager, right click on the bricked USB device (QHSUSB_BULK or Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008) and go to Properties, click on Driver, then select Uninstall. Check the box to remove driver files, if prompted...'
But the device is not seen by the device manager.
Someone suggested in an other thread that I need just to press (not hold) power + volume button.
I will try that and let you know.
By the way what is 'test mode'?

Trouble with Lenovo Tab2 a7-10f

Hello.
I have a problem with my lenovo tablet
During flashing a older stock rom in, I selected incorrect rom and now the device doesn't boot.
Doesn't react to holding any combination of volume +/- and power.
Doesn't react to power button at all. If I plug it in to a charger, it doesn't show the charging animation.
SPFlashTool is unable to do anything after I pick the device, it sees it but is unable to flash it in. (I will attach logs after I get home)
Windows still detects a MT65xx Preloader after I plug it into a USB port. (I have removed the MTEK vcom USB driver since the flashing attempt)
Is the situation still salvageable? Can I somehow still give life back to my bricked device?
Thanks in advance.

Well, almost a year later I've bumped into the exact same issue.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
Damn...
----EDIT----
I've managed to sove this. Had to open the tablet and remove the cable that connects the battery. Once reconnected, the tablet was able to be powered on.

I just opened the back cover and disconnected the battery cable. I didn't remove the battery.
Anyway, you can search youtube for videos that shows you how to open the back cover.
Cheers!

Thanks for the help!!! had the same issue

Hey, i was in the same problem some weeks ago.
I finally figured it out after spending 2 nights continuously, so here is what you need to do.
1. Carefully open the back cover of your tablet and find the square connector which connects the battery and disconnect it.
2. Now download the stock Kitkat rom for the tablet from xda.
3. Install vcom drivers for mediatek 65xx.
4. While the connector is removed plug the cable to the computer or laptop.
5.Then connect the mini usb to your charging port (Again the connector should not be attached to motherboard).
6. Load scatter file in sp flash tool uncheck preloader, MBR and SEC_RO.
7.Then hit the start button and wait for it!
8. Now remove the cable, attach the battery connector to motherboard. AND BOOT!!!:good::good::victory:
If this help you please give a thanks.

Need a new Motherboard? Or at least some help

I'm wondering if anyone has a Nexus 5 D821 motherboard in working condition that they would like to get rid of. Or if anyone knows of a way to get into Qualcomm 9008 mode from LGE Android Platform USB Serial Port. The phone seems dead, doesnt react to button presses, Vol Up+Vol Down+ Power doesnt change anything, the phone restarts back into LGE Android Platform USB Serial Port mode. No download mode. From what I know my EMMC wasn't dead (passed all the Board Diag Tests). Phone died after I flashed SBL1 with boarddiag (Even though I was told not to...)

There is a guide in general forums.

I hard bricked my phone yesterday and was stressing out quite a bit! Luckily I found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/yureka/help/question-qualcomm-download-mode-k-t3068040
Note: I assume that you know what you are doing. Since you know about Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 mode, you probably do, but you can do some serious harm with this mode.
Essentially, the gist of the guide comes down to installing the qualcomm drivers so that the phone becomes detected as a Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008. After this, you can use Boarddiag as you are used to to reflash the partitions. Note that for me, the phone was not in sahara dload mode and Boarddiag would not work. What I had to do was the following (these steps are done after the drivers are properly installed)
Unplug the Nexus 5 from your computer
Open the back cover and remove the 6 top screws holding the other protective cover
Disconnect the battery cable for 5 seconds. Reconnect it after
While holding the volume up and down button, plug it into your computer. It should now be in Sahara download mode and Boarddiag should work.
Let me know how everything goes!

[HELP] Stuck on 1+ logo

Hi guys. I come here in search for help as I already tried possibly all the methods and unbrick solutions that I saw to fix my Oneplus One. Basically when I turn it on it gets stuck on "1+ powered by android" screen. I can't go to Recovery Mode and I can only enter the Fastboot mode if I'm not connected to PC. It doesn't get recognized when I connect it to PC unless I press the "Vol. up + Power" button combination. After this, it gets recognized on windows' device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" and the phone gets in a mode that doesn't show anything on the screen and apparently necessary to do what's described in this post. This was the last thing that I've tried after I tried several other solutions.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might help me. I love this phone and I hate just the thought of buying a new one.

Try using win7.
PS: did you launched the tool with administrator privileges?

I download the latest adb and fastboot drivers from Android Studio site under command line tools.
Here is a good Article on how to configure the drivers on your machine.https://www.xda-developers.com/adb-fastboot-any-directory-windows-linux/
