Hi, its been almost half a year now since i bricked my O3D, im still having problem solving this. I'm still newbie at this so i dont how to solve it. Still stuck at where you fastboot the omap thingy. I cant get into download mode i've tried all sorts of ways and still no luck. Did install OMAP4430 and after that the fastbooot one, tried holding vol+ and plug the cable and no logo appeard on my screen its pitched black only the search/back/home/menu buttons lights on. Then after a minute or less its turn off and the OMAP4430 in the device manager started to appear and disappear all the time, also i cant seem to find the LG port device on my device manger Help?

for pc driver installation. It is rather fiddly, so proceed slowly and read all details carefully. Once it is correct, however, you can use LG Flash Tool, Fastboot, ADB, or whatever for this device.

did all its says from the top still i cant find the LG port and my device manager keeps on refreshing and the OMAP device also keeps on appearing and disappearing.
Btw i did went(last year ago) to LG costumer service and after a week they said that the main board is the problem, and it cost more likely 40-50% of the original price of my phone Up until now im still hoping for my phone to be fixed.
I would try again; there are a lot of little details there that are easy to miss the first 5 or so times trying to do it. Rebooting pc between each step, for instance. You must be logged onto pc as administrator also. It took me some time before I was able to install the drivers correctly and that was before I wrote it all down in detail.
If it really is the board (I picture a scenario where they want to sell you a new phone) then none of this will help. However, the omap4430 blinking on and off tells me it is trying to connect, but is not installed correctly.
Take your time with each part and carefully check every detail.
omapboot and sw are two different modes.
the "LG port device" appears only in sw mode
omapboot:
you need omap for flashing the custom bootloader
enter the mode: remove the battery and plug your phone to usb while holding vol +, for me its working also when i just plug the phone without battery. if the device is appearing to fast in the devicemanager plug the battery into the phone, and the device should stay and you can install the driver,
sw mode:
is needed when flashing wit lg flashtool or smartflash etc for flashing stock roms or simliar.
you can enter that mode:
plug your phone to usb while holding vol+ with battery insert, and keep holding until the phone screen shows sw and some korean letters.
now you can set the port to 41 in the device manager

yes, in the sw mode, thats where i got stucked did hold vol+ w/ and/or w/o battery (tried both) no logo and korean letters appeared on my screen totally pitched black only the search/back/home/menu lights up after that the omap keeps on appearing and disappearing. Tried different cables btw im using win8 and i also tried fresh start on other laptop's of my friends. It's very frustrating
anyone had some success here? I have as well OMAP device on-off, I can go to SW Upgrade mode (no Korean letters though) and to stock recovery.... Tried LGFLashTool2014 (but it crashes on "Read Phone information) and "Flashtool"-Tool, which can enable fastboot and flash uboot, etc. But to no success...

NOTE:
So far this has been the only sure fire method I've found to 100% get around any brick situation regardless of firmware, etc. This only works for the captivate, not any other galaxy s variant.
Situations: phone-!-Computer / no download mode
Black Screen / RST_STATUS 0x0
Procedure:
1. Remove the battery, external SD card and SIM card.
2. Wait 10 seconds.
3. Open odin3
4. Connect usb cable.
5. Hold volume up + volume down + Power.
6. Insert battery.
7. Release POWER BUTTON ONLY.
You should now be in immediate download mode.
Please forgive me if this is duplicate some where, but I tried every procedure I could find on google to no avail, then accidentally found this method just before I was going to box it back up and see if my buddy at AT&T would make me eat it or not.
My situation was: Launched Odin3 to flash H3 firmware, died twice in the middle, and on the third time locked up half ways just at the beginning of factoryfs.rfs -- Then the phone did nothing. Blackscreen is all. Interestingly enough, while in the state if you hold volume up + power, it will give a hw diagnostic screen. Beyond that I could get no where. Just a black screen, no acknowledgement when connected to PC, no charging indicator, nothing.
If this is a dupe Im sorry but this method I could not find and hope to make it readily available to people who may think their phones bricked.
Update 12/22/2010:
How to BRICK the phone / WARNING!!!
If for whatever reason you decide to use Odin to flash a stock GTI9000 ROM and manually add the kernels and modems using a "pure" 2.2.1 sammy rom. BEWARE.
Researching a lot, it seems the consensus is that the sbl in the 2.2.1 versions of the GTI9000 has *hard* download mode crippled.. Meaning if there is a software screw up YOU CANNOT USE A USB JIG OR ANY OTHER METHOD OF GETTING THE PHONE IN DOWNLOAD MODE!!! To fix it you'll need a new one or JTAG to replace the bootloader.
As far as I can tell, beyond getting completely rid of the AT&T logo, there is no need to flash boot/sbl to get the "purity" of the 2.2.1 sammy roms.
Extract all files from the tar EXCEPT boot/sbl and re-tar and flash just those to avoid overwriting the stock captivate boot loader.
Also, it does not appear the boot/sbl from the captivate 2.2 leak suffers this same problem.
For any one iffy on bricking their phones, stay away from roms that remove COMPLETELY the AT&T logo on boot. This generally means the boot loader has been messed with any you may be screwed if you soft brick the phone. Most CWM roms dont overwrite the boot/sbl, but some can and do. Watch yourself.. if it the AT&T logo goes away COMPLETELY, I recommend flashing JF6 with One click while the roms alive using adb reboot download and try another rom.
thanks!
worked...took a few tries but some trick with this captivate to get it into download mode.. i was totally bricked too, diag screen with PC/Phone icons and exclamation mark. for me 1.) plug usb, 2.) hold power and vol up/down and connect battery (it fell out) and i was in download mode
I guess a similar procedure was on the odin3 one click thread, but there is something different in your procedure, it's not my case but it would be nice if some people confirms this as this may be useful and if it really works it should be included in odin thread
What worked for me was: Pull the battery, sim and micro sd card. Open odin on the PC. Insert the battery. Hold vol up and down then with the buttons held connect the usb cable. Just remember to plug in the usb cable with the vol up and down held in and odin must be open on the computer.
I also ran into the vol up plus power red text screen. Interesting to note that one of the fields will change depending if the usb cable is connected or not.
mine is dead
mi samsung captivate was working great but, suddenly it go black and only the touch bottom have light, when i plug it in the a/c it show is charging. i'm mac user and a read that i ned to use odin3 but it not work on mac. how i can unbrick the phone???
is rooted with one click lag
the dbdata was modif to
thats all
HEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP
Odin will not open on the mac?
Cant you use a virtual machine and use Odin on a Mac that way?
Or else take the odin 3 single click for JF6 and use on a friends Windows Computer.
Please help - unable to flash back with Odin3
I have pretty much tried it all at this point and am trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I followed the directions just in case get to the big yellow triangle with the droid shoveling and the screen stays at "downloading, do not turn off target..."
Of course I had Odin3 open already but its not seeing my phone, USB drives are installed am using Odin3 ver. 1.30.
Any help would be appreciated, TIA!

Best way to get download mode is use adb and type adb reboot download.
Or follow the volume up/down held with odin open on the computer, then you plug in the usb cable to the computer.

Just sharing the info! Makes you think twice about trying something else don't it?
does not seem to work because as soon as my battery touches the contacts it goes to the diag screen. do I have to release the power button in super human speed times there?
looked at all threads here, looked elsewhere -- there are some that are not fixable. Wanted to add that in case others come here and think that they might be the only ones that can't get it to work.
Ended up sending mine off to Samsung to reset today. :/
I love you! I called AT&T to send me documentation to sign and it was going to cost me 125 dollars to get it replaced even with warranty. And you fixed it !
i have tried just about every single method detailed in these forums, and nothing works.
Trying what OP suggested just sends me to the battery charging animation screen.
Anybody have any ideas ?
file analysis
I keep can get to the download screen and I hit start and it does the same thing everytime it just does File analysis i cant figure what i am doing wrong here somebody please help me
I think the issue was it had something to do with 64 bit windows 7 i just re did the stock rom one click solution and it worked fine

Thank you for sharing your experience.
I don't have a Captivate yet but am doing research on it and hopeful of getting one. I am confused about one thing.
Every where that I have read about how to enter Recovery mode or Download mode on the Captivate using the 3 button method, it says holding down both Volume UP + Volume Down (plus Power button) will enter Recovery mode. But you say it enters Download mode which is confusing to me. As I recall, to enter Download mode you must press the Vol Down only (plus Power button). Could it be because the phone won't go into Recovery mode, it goes into Download mode instead? Am I missing something?
Thank you!
Download mode is for updating the phone's firmware.
Remove battery, plug in the usb cable to the phone, open ODIN on the computer (need usb drivers installed before hand) on the phone hold volume up and down then plug the phone into the computer. Your phone will say DOWNLOADING. This method works even if you run into problems and the phone refuses to boot properly.
Recovery mode is for installing Update.zip. The method is tricky but involves holding volume up/down and power, the phone will show ATT then go black. It will repeat that but after the second time it goes black let go of power.
If that doesnt work, android debug tools ADB reboot recovery will work even better.
Or root the phone and use Clockwork Rom manager to boot into recovery, just press the menu item.

Thank you askpcguy! I understand the difference between Download and Recovery modes.
So the procedural difference here is having the battery in + Power button, versus battery not in (use USB cable instead) and no Power button. Can the phone get power from the PC via the USB cable? This seems to differ from what the original poster said about download mode. Perhaps OP could edit his original post for clarification? Or am I still missing something? Thanks to all
The phone does get power from the USB cable.
The difference is one procedure uses the USB cable (download mode) and the other does not (Recovery mode).
The volume up+down method does not use the power button, the phone is powered on into download mode once you plug in the USB cable.
We say pull the battery to get the phone powered off. If a firmware flash stalled or doesn't complete, pull the battery and try again!
I now understand the precedural difference.
Thank you askpcguy!
Hi
Can anyone help please? Also, are there anyone having similar issue.
Issue: Pressing the power button is not starting my device. In order to power on I have to connect charger (not usb with PC) and then press power button. What I have noticed is that once I switch off my phone it gets in to "emergency/recover mode". I came to this conclusion because after I switch the phone off, take battery out and put back in and then connect usb cable with my PC. I can see OMAP driver loads and also in the PC's Device Manager I am able to see LG CDMA.... under "ports".
It was not like this until i started several attempts to flash baseband.
Sequence of actions
Here is the sequence of actions I went through and end up having my phone at this stage
1. Followed the procedure (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17177547&postcount=2) step by step using LG flash tool. The application was constantly crashing (PC is running on XP pro). Before flashing baseband I flashed GB hence I lost radio.
2. To bring back my radio I had to reflash 2.2 following the same procedure (emergency recovery method) in the link given in baseband flashing.
3. After finishing the recovery flash I could not start my phone using power button. I started thinking that I bricked my phone. I left it for a day. Then I thought that the battery is fully drained and is the reason for not powering on. When I connected charger I started seeing LG logo and also the phone was started. I was more excited and happy that my phone was not bricked. After this point I need charger connected everytime when i want switch on my phone. so, I am scared to swtich off my phone unless I have charger handy to me.
4. I removed all the application (LG flashing related) including LG drivers I installed before. Now I reinstalled all the necessary app and drivers for baseband flashing. This time baseband flashing was done successfully (though at 22%). Then I flashed GB rom and everything works fine.
The only issue i have is, I can not switch on my phone without charger connected.
If anyone knows solution please help me.
Thanks in advance.

I used to have the same problem,
I think its a problem about boot,
when I use lg tools it always gives error, because phone wont boot without charger, so it cant continue upgrading
I try flasing original kdz file from lg flash tool, and use emergency rescue mode,
I dont know but it somehow repair the boot
you can fix permissions before you use lg tools.
what error do you have while using lg tool?
can you post the screen capture

After i uninstalled all the drivers (incl. LG tools) and reinstalled and I am not seeing any more error while using LG tools. I even flashed GB baseband twice but no use. The link you have given explains the same issue I have.
I think you have to install froyo version of baseband and firmware first,
then try

Thanks. I will try it tonight or will wait for official GB release then i can do the this emergency update.
Ok so I am trying to install ICS on my LG925 but I have a problem. My phone seems to be stuck in download mode. When I power off the phone the only way I am able to reboot it is to remove battery, plug usb into wall jack, plug usb into phone, hold volume up and power insert battery. When I see the lg logo I remove USB and the phone boots up. But like I said everytime I power down the phone I must go through this process. Already tried factory defaulting but it made no difference.
I am using lgmobile support tool to restore phone now. I believe I have already tried this without success though. The phone updates without a problem, but when rebooting the phone remains in s/w upgrade mode. (at least I believe that's what mode it's in the screen remains black but it does communicate with the pc.
After finally getting through the ICS install correctly my phone is now booting properly again. Nice to finally have ICS now to find and apply all the bug fixes.
Hi everyone, i ask for your help cause i have a common problem but the fixes i found in the forum didn't work for me: my ZenFone 5 stucks at "Asus" logo with a loading loop wheel below that.
I know this post may be long... but i beg you to read all steps:
1) Phone stucks at logo, but could enter recovery (pressing vol + down), i've updated it via external SD card (official firmware but didn't work) then i've wiped data and did a factory reset. Phone still stucks at logo.
2) Now i can't even enter recovery mode... when pressing vol + down it shows 2 options but whatever i choose the phone reboots. If i press vol + up it says "CSC mode, long press power to restart. Phone still stucks.
3) Now (after some time) the phone's screen doesn't show anything, nor charging icon or notification led when recharging, but strangely the computer recognizes it as a device when connected via USB cable, and the led turns on when i do this.
A friend told me to follow a guide that says to install "Intel Soc USB driver", i did that. After installing, when connecting the device, 2 things should pop up in Device Manager, under "Intel Soc": "Cloverview Plus Device" and "Intel Soc USB Driver" but they don't show to me
I've also tried Asus flashtool guide... at step 4 it says to click in the box icon and choose the firmware RAW file, so i've downloaded a raw firmware for the ZenFone 5, but oddly it doesn't let me choose any raw file.
Note: the phone is recognized by the pc as "QHSUSB_BULK", so i've tried to update its driver with qualcomm drivers, and now it's recognized as "Qualcom MMC Usb storage device". But i think i've did a wrong thing cause my friend told me i should have choosed some kind of official driver
Thanks in advance for your help
Heya folks,
I have just attempted my first time flashing TWRP on my TP-Link Neffos X-1 following this guide: https://rootmygalaxy.net/twrp-root-...nd_Install_TWRP_Recovery_On_TP-Link_Neffos_X1.
Its looking kinda grim. It starts with the orange state Message and that the device will boot in 5 seconds, however after that it starts with an infinite bootloop. I also cannot access the Recovery (vol up + power), for it simply doesnt work anymore after the guide. When I plug it into my pc, it will automatically start with the bootloop (I can shut the phone off with vol down + power).
Attempting to get into fastboot mode over ADB (adb reboot bootloader), returns with the message error: device '(null)' not found. I think that is due to it not being recognized in the device manager(it doesnt show my phone anymore but unknown device). I tried to install the phone driver for the uknown device, however that keeps failing. I think its due to the phone permanently connecting and reconnecting to the pc.
So I'm wondering of what to do. I guess the biggest issue is that the drivers are not recognized, but as long as the phone keeps on restarting every couple of seconds i doubt i can properly install the driver. You guys got any ideas?
My guess is you haven't installed on Windows PC the appropriate Android USB Driver matching the device
I mean the appropriate USB driver had to be there for me to flash it with the TWRP in the first place, right?
Think I clearly said that the additionally required USB-driver has to be installed on Windows PC.
I have this one installed https://rootmydevice.com/download-neffos-usb-drivers/, is this the additionally required usb driver?
So far, despite what driver I pick for the device, it shows the code 10, device couldnt be started - probably because it never gets past the starting screen but keeps rebooting

Some MTK devices has this: Press both VOL+ & Power buttons. Only remove 2 buttons when you see Bootloader mode (recovery; fastboot; reboot system) or directly in the Recovery mode. Now you can use fastboot.
With the SPFT you can use same tip above. In the SPFT choose DOWNLOAD and plug USB device. Process to flash stock ROM or stock recovery.img & boot.img start.
If not start pugging USB: choose DOWNLOAD - press VOL- and plug USV device. You can try with buttons like only VOL- or VOL+ or combo buttons VOL+&VOL- or VOL-&VOL+ or other button combination.
You can try FIRMWARE UPGRADE too.
That's depend about LOCKED or Unlocked bootloader process that you made before actions!
If you unlocked bootloader so only need patience. If not so that's no good.
