Welp I am one of the stupid ones and installed MIUI on my Infuse, and like everyone else, I'm stuck on the boot screen. I looked at the post on the same topic and tried to do it but couldn't get it to work probably becuase the computer says that its an Unknown device instead of a Samsung device.
So my question is what do I do now that my computer doesn't recongize the phone as a device anymore?
Thanks to all that can give help.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116251
And lesson learned - never install a ROM from another phone.
Yeah I know that now. Foolish mistake I know I shouldn't have made.
But, I have tried using that but when I connect the phone to the computer it shows to be an unknown device and Odin doesn't pick it up at all. My problem is, is that the computer doesn't recognize it as an Android Device anymore. Is downloading the drivers from Samsung going to help?
I'll have to leave that to someone else - I use Heimdall on a Linux box, I've never flashed from Windows.
Oh, ok. Well thanks for your help .
I fixed my problem. What I had to do was get another computer that doesn't have the Samsung Drivers or Kies installed and then install them. Once that was done Odin found the device and I was able to restore it.
So there's a tip for anyone who can't get their device to be recognized by the computer or Odin itself.
Or just uninstall/delete those drivers?

i have started to do this to since i got the infuse. ill tell you i dont miss driver issues one bit! linux/bsd/mac/whatever rock as long as you have supported hardware and that is becoming less and less of a problem these days.
re: Now Stuck
You need to try and pull the battery out and put it back see if you can get the phone into "download mode". If you cannot get it into download mode by doing that or using the up/down volume and power key combo then I would suggest that you purchase a "jig" on ebay. (they cost under $10 bucks shipped).
Here is the ebay link for the jig:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Galaxy-...0563626533?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item20ba3eba25
With a jig all you would need to do is to remove battery, plug the little jig into the usb port of phone and replace the battery, then wait 5 seconds or so and the phone will be in download mode allowing you to use Odin3 and flash back to "stock rom" to start with..
Best if you did that using the "Ultimate Unbrick" stock froyo rom after that
you can install infuse 1.5 custom rom or Bionix or the defused custom rom or any other rom.
Here is the link for the Ultimate Unbrick:

I tried that but it didn't work on my computer, but that's just my computer that could work for someone else. If that doesn't work though, you can get another computer and install the drivers on them and that should work.

Where are you trying to uninstall the drivers from? I have windows 7 and went to device manager or whatever and took it off there. Then reinstalled kies, worked perfect after.

If I remember correctly, you have to be quick to install the driver when connecting the phone to your computer.

Please, get in your correct device section.
This issue was thoroughly discussed at another thread, and the only way users found to solve it was to deliver it to LG for a new board.
The sd format under CM7 issue, I mean.
I had this happen to me all the I apparently pressed reboot into bootloader by accident and my phone turned off and never turned back on. I was also running cyanogen mod. I tried everything but nothing worked it didn't even turn on so I just went to att and they sent me a new phone.

I dont think it is possible to brick the optimus 3d. The issue of not being able to reflash may be due to driver conflicts/combo of windows 7 etc.
Run device manager. Expand the ports and usb serial bus controllers
Take out battery of optimus 3d
hold down volume up and while holding up, insert cable.
There should be the omap 4430 popping up for a few seconds
Also during this process, the other usb drivers for the phone should be activated and displayed if they were previously installed. If not, then it should start searching for the drivers and update.
Insert battery
If there are issues with drivers updating, try another pc and install the lg drivers from scratch using windows xp.
Its not required to install the omap 4430 driver to flash a rom
You can then use the official lg recovery tool, enter your imei and it will download and install the stock rom
There are other methods on flashing using kdz files (a good tutorial is available somewhere in this forum) you would need to block the lg updater from checking however
I have tried several things mentioned on this forum but to know avail. My LG Optimus 3d P920 isnt coming up after i flashed the rom. When i connect to the system on window 7, it shows omap under unknown driver and withing 2secs disappears again. using one of the methods mentioned here, i was able to install the omap driver but each time i connect the phone, it connects and then disconnect instantly. When i tried it on window xp, i got the same error. I can boot into recovery. The phone is not switching ON atall for me to even consider goin to recovery. Sometimes when am on window xp and i press the recovery button with the battery in (vol- plus Power +3d button) it connects and then instantly disconnects again. Please help with a step by step process as am stumped. Am sure i should be able to get it up. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Preferrably i will like a guide with downgrading. The links sent has no step by step method,it naturally assumes that one will know what to do with what file. Waiting for ur response.

I have tried the method you explained step by step bt i got stuckedd on step 13
"Step 13. Run Steps 3-9 again and you will see your phone being flashed from LG FlashTool.
It will be stopped at 26-30% because phone will turn off on its own BUT the next time you try to enter NORMAL DOWNLOAD MODE it will be available again."
When i do what step 12 says, instead of my LG flash tool flashin my fone, the screeen just stay stuck on the download mode with the korean message on it. Dont know how to move ahead. Thanks for your reply, please help me move past this level. In addition, instead of LGE mobile USB serial port, what i have is LGE CDMA USB serial port.

The problem now is each time i flash with LG flash tool, once it gets to 82%, the part where the flashtool reads target resetting , my fone disconnects and the LG flashtool brings out this error error_wm_progress_msg and some others. I have tried this 3times now and the error remains the same. When i power the phone, it goes in to clockwod mode and when i try to mount usb, it doesnt do. Even when i try to restore the backup i have, it says md5 error. Waiting for your reply

That s mean your phone is successfully done flashing , with me it never come to 100% it always on 82% its finish, just reboot your phone and wait for it to start on , and you are good to go, now go to recovery and format, or wipe cache and data and reboot at first time it says that you don't have enough memory left just go to privacy and reset the phone and format everything . and i think everything will be good after that. good luck.
Thanks

The truth is your phone can not be break just with flashing, it will brick though, unless your hardware is damaged, then you are think to buy new phone.
well about the JellyBam, while you are on GB now, root your phone and install Rom manager flash Bernie's file and you're out of the rebooting. the Barnie's files is the key of JellyBam or other CM10 to work. good luck.

For the question of buttons,is only a habit question
No one rom with ICS can solve this problem,so accept it xD
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.
Hi,
I tried to restore my IMEI and official ICS versions using the official LG Tools, but at about 97% the phone restarted and now it only shows the LG logo for 1 sec then it shuts down. I can't charge it, the computer doens't read the OMAP drivers...it is blinking in the device manager and that's all. I have followed the guides from the Unbrick section but no work.
Please help me..I really need to revive the darn brick
Thanks.
You have to force the driver to link as in part 1.f.4.1 to 1.f.4.5 here.

Then proceed with the unbricking or imei recover.

I was doing that, but when I uninstall the TI Board thing, it dissapears for a second and then reappears again, as TI Board. I can't make it stay on Other Devices list...

Run a cmd as an admin and type :" SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1 " and press enter, then type :" devmgmt.msc " and press enter. Choose View, Show Hidden Devices, you will see your device
It doesn't need to stay there. Catch it in other devices. Point omap4430 to the driver file and force install it as described. Let it install a minute. Disconnect phone and reconnect. Then after a bit it should stay connected but under TI boards this time. Then you can do resurrection or whatever else. Depending on what you are doing you might also need the LG drivers but check whatever tutorial you are following.
Or you can run the command Karim described to stop the blinking. But you will still need to link the driver whether omap4430 is blinking or not.

It doesn't stay connected even under TI Boards, even if I install the drivers as in that tutorial. It just blinking and blinking over and over again, and the sound that windows is making when connecting and disconnecting a USB device. I can't enter any other mode the only way the PC sees it "alive" is with the "Volume and plug-in" thing. If I try to make it start under with other methods it is just showing the LG logo for about 1 sec and then it powers down. Is it really, but really dead ?
It's not dead. You have bootloop. Once you fix that then you can fix imei, if that is really the problem. Probably you mistakenly flashed a bootloader incompatible with the kernel you have.
Download the bag of goodies in link section. Then start at beginning of step 1. Be sure to read everything carefully. Once you have step 1 done correctly you can continue with flashing the .bin with LG Flash Tool.
Since I don't know what you did exactly, I don't know what exactly to do to fix the problem. But, one way is to flash ICS again. If you are not familiar with fastboot and bootloaders, I would suggest that. Using Fastboot requires some understanding of what the problem is. Since I gather you don't know, reflashing is one way to get the phone running.
After that, if your imei is not fixed in the process, then that can be done later.

How I bricked my O3D. Simple.. using the f**kin LG Official Update Software >.<' . I let it run and at about 98% the phone restarted and never gone up again. I don't care if I loose all the crap inside my phone, since I got really nothing on it. Just a few games. I just want to make it run again..
So, I've connected my phone with my USB cable while pressing Volume+. OMAP4430 appears only as a TI Board and flashing all the way until I disconnect my phone. When I install the OMAP drives as in that guide, it gives me an error that it can't install it (or in most cases no error) and the blinking thingy is still there. Do I need to use a modified USB cable to do this ? Like P999 910k ? I am really noob, since I bought my phone yesterday from a friend, and tried to restore it's IMEI by flashing the phone again. Yes, I know, I`m dumb xD
If it is a sync cable you should be fine with that.
If omap4430 is blinking you missed something. Driver install can be tricky if you have not done it before. Hell, it's tricky if you have done it.
Just take your time with that, read carefully, don't miss anything, and be sure all things like Defender, antivirus, etc are disabled before downloading, unzipping, unraring and all that.
Once that's done you'll be set up to flash or anything else.
I can't speak to LG Update Tool because I don't use it.

I finally managed to make the omap4430 work, i reinstalled a new firmware , the v30a one using emergency mode, the phone is starting up but it's freezing. Why ? Is there any difference between v30A and B or v28 ones ? Is there any chance for v28 to work ? Because the update takes up to 6hrs >.<

Why don't you flash bootv21e which will fix all problems then flash ICS ?

Q1: Where can I find that firmware ? I want to flash an official one, and then upgrade to ics again, the official one.
I only managed to find the v30A on the internet.
Q2: Is there any difference between v30 and v28 ?
Q3: That firmware you have specified is Gingerbread, right ? I heared there are some problems when upgrading to ics from gb. V21e solve them all ?

Here is the link http://d-h.st/RC5 .
Bootv28 is probably the leaked beta version of ICS.
Based on what I experienced, after flashing bootv21e, I never had any problem upgrading to ics.
Good Luck !

To install this, I need to enter recovery mode, and flash it from SD card ?

No, you must flash this ROM with smartflash or either LG flashtool into download mode.

Any special cable required ? I only have the "sync" one. Not the 910k resistor on it.

I think that resistor mod is for making a sync cable from a cheap charge cable, but I am not sure (the post first I saw about that was in a language I can't read, so I don't know why that was started). My generic sync cable works fine, so it should be OK.

I heared that if you're not using the 910k resistor on that cable, you won't be able to flash it without errors, or something... That also said a guy from a authorised-service in my town. He said that he needs to modify a USB cable in order to flash it. He flashed it finally with the v30a fw, but the phone is freezing after startup. Maybe I could help him somehow to repair my phone. Tomorrow I`ll go again to the service to see if he managed to get the phone working using v28 or v21. The updates takes a serios ammount of time. The last update to v30a took him about 5hrs...
