[HELP] LGC800 (myTouch Q) Bricked

About a week ago or so, my mom told me to root her LGC800 since my Galaxy Nexus is rooted and fully customized by me. I installed all the required drivers, my PC recognizes it well. I rooted the LGC800 with Super One Click, the latest one that doesn't require the ADB commands, and it rooted fine. Then I downloaded a recovery.img or boot.img and installed through Root Explorer. After that I installed ROM Manager and flashed the wrong Recovery and since that moment it stays stuck on the LG boot screen. I can only access the 3e Recovery (A [QWERTY] + F [QWERTY] + Vol Down + Pwr) and S/W Upgrade (E [QWERTY] + Vol Up + Pwr). At the 3e Recovery I tried doing a Factory Reset and, still, it won't go past the LG boot screen, I downloaded an update.zip and tried to install it and it didn't work, it says "Installation Aborted". I put it on S/W Upgrade mode and I then downloaded the LG Update Tool and it says phone or "Software Not Supported". Then I downloaded the KDZ Updater and the V10D_00.kdz file and it doesn't work. Either it's not the one for the phone or I don't know what's wrong. So I tried using the AndSDK file on my PC and so I open CMD, changed the directory to AndSDK and typed "adb devices" and it doesn't list any device. I put the phone in S/W Upgrade mode and still it doesn't list the device. But, I put the phone in Recovery mode and it listed it as LG_ANDROID_C800, so I typed "adb shell" then "su" to gain root access and it says "permission: denied". I tried to push files through "adb push"command and, again, "permission: denied".
The only thing I haven't done, not because I haven't tried it, is putting it in fastboot mode. I read it was pressing the Home button in the QWERTY keypad and Pwr, but when I try that it takes me to 3e recovery right after I press the Touch Home button, if I don't press anything at all it shows the Android with package and the arrow and it reboots, so it gets stuck in LG boot screen again.
I've been in the problem for about a week and I'm running out of resources. I only want it to be stock or at least stable. If anybody could help I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

I really need help on this. Any help would be appreciated.

Not able to install - always standard recovery menu

Hello guys.
Im struggeling to install a custom ROM at the stage of installing a CWM recovery. My S2 plus 9105p runs Android 4.2.2 and everytime I try to upload a recovery img via Odin everything works fine as expected but when I try to start (volume up, home, power) the recovery mode - it gets always into the standard Android one - not CWM recovery!!! It looks like Samsung has integrated some kind of security mechanism which keeps us from running custom ROMs...
I have realy tried maybe 5 different recovery images, but non of those worked for me.
Can you please help?

I tried exactly also this particular site and steps described on it, but didn't help... The same problem. Everything was OK, but recovery was not CWM but standard Android one.

When u have flashed ur recorvery, take ur battery out and then plug battery again. And now go to recorvery.

Now it is WORKING !
Hi guys.
I followed the step-by-step guide on this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560928
- used the CWM 6.0.4.5 and Odin3 0.7
- after successfull flash of the PDA with this recovery (manualy unset the auto-reboot option) I have pulled the battery out for a couple of seconds
- the battery came back in again and with home-volUP-Power I got directly to the new CWM recovery.
So thanx all for your support and you can lock this thread as everything is working now.

boot problem

When i boot or reboot my rooted my Samsung galaxy grand prime g530h it directly enters in recovery mode , WHY ?
Due to this problem my mobile does not show battery percentage while charging switched off mobile.
Even when i have not installed any rom , why does this problem occur ?
The only thing i did was just rooted my mobile using odin .
But , I do have custom recovery CWN
Why does it boot or reboot in recovery mode ?
What should i do to solve it ?
Need an quick answer .

Depends on the situation on why it boots to recovery. Probably would need more information. Do you have a custom recovery and if so what one? What were you doing before this behavior came into play. Please give as much detail as possible and I might be able to help you. Or someone else can.

Wow. Sounds to me in my opinion that u soft bricked your device. But have no fear. Samsung devices are virtually impossible to perm brick as long as you operate Odin correctly. First thing your going to have to do is find an custom recovery to put on the device. In my opinion as soon you rooted you should of done it because people do make mistakes.
I do not own a Samsung device personaly my wife does but she won't let me touch it LMAO. Try searching on Xda for Samsung galaxy grand prime g530h softbrick
I apologize for a late reply.

Universal unbrick guide:
Terminology - types of bricks:
Soft brick - often occurs in the shape of a bootloop or any other problems with booting such as always getting to recovery or not getting past the carrier logo. This type of a brick, which shows some signs of life, can in most cases be fixed.
Hard brick - As the name implies, your phone can essentially used as a brick and it shows no signs of life. This kind of a brick is rare and in theory should be unfixable. However there are advanced methods of fixing your phones such as JTAG, but they require extra tools and accessories.
The decision:
Is my phone soft or hard bricked?
If you answer yes to all of the questions below you probably have a hard birck:
Test as said in order!
Nothing happenes when you hold or press the power button
You cannot get the screen to even turn on by pressing or holding any combination of buttons on your phone
Nothing happenes if you do the same as about but with your phone plugged into a charger
Nothing happenes when you plug your phone into a computer
When you plug in your phone into a computer it does not recognize it as a phone, storage or any other media device
Nothing happenes when you try all of the above again, but with removing the battery in between steps for 10 seconds and putting it back in again
Nothing happenes when you try all of the above again, but after leaving the phone plugged into a charger for 2 hours
If all of the questions are a "yes", then you either have a broken charging port and and a discharged battery or you have a hard brick.
The unbricking:
There are many methods of unbricking and they are all different to each phone. Here I will list the most common methods that often succeed.
Samsung users skip to 4. method.
1. If you have access to a stock recovery:
Method 1:
1. Shut down / turn off your phone.
2. Boot into Recovery mode – hold down the volume down button and then hold the power button (the button combination is different for every phone. Look yours up on Google)
3. Use volume keys to navigate the menus, and power button to select the menu items (Again, might be different for every phone)
4. Choose “Wipe Cache Partition”.
5. Choose “Wipe Data / Factory Reset” to delete all your settings and apps, using the correct ROM.
6. Reboot your device.
Method 2:
Download the stock rom for your phone. It should be in ".zip" format. Make sure it's the official version
(Find it by Googling something like "[your phone model] stock rom")
Put the file on your phone's external SD card.
Make sure that the rom is for your exact phone model.
1. Shut down / turn off your phone.
2. Boot into Recovery mode – hold down the volume down button and then hold the power button (the button combination is different for every phone. Look yours up on Google)
3. Use volume keys to navigate the menus, and power button to select the menu items (Again, might be different for every phone)
4. Select "apply update from external storage"
5. Navigate to the zip file you copied to your phone
6. Install it.
If you get Status Error 7 that means you didn't download an official stock rom.
2. If you have access to a custom recovery:
Method 1:
Try stock recovery method 1
Method 2:
1. Find a stable custom rom for your phone or if you want to download the stock rom
Make sure that the rom is for your exact phone model.
2.. Copy the zip file to the phone's external SD.
3. Install the zip
(If you have a custom recovery you probably know the drill)
3. If you have access to fastboot mode:
First install ADB and fastboot drivers (if you haven't already):
To install it on windows there is a handy tool called the 15 Second ADB installer which will install pretty much everything you need.
On Ubuntu install with:
Code:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
On Fedora:
Code:
sudo dnf install android-tools
On OS X using Homebrew:
Code:
brew install android-platform-tools
Once you have the drivers installed you have to find a recovery image for your phone to install a custom recovery.
You can try one of the popular recoveries such as CWM or TWRP.
You need to get the recoveryNameHere.img file for your phone.
Find it by Googling:
"[your phone model] TWRP recovery"
or
"[your phone model] CWM recovery"
Make sure that the recovery is for your exact phone model.
Now on your phone enter fastboot mode:
Turn your phone off.
You can try different button combinations. For my phone it's holding power and volume down buttons.
Once you're in fastboot mode plug your phone into a computer and open your terminal/cmd.
Type in:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should see a list of devices. There should be only one device ID number.
If you see the ID it's working. If you don't you didn't install the Google USB driver properly (on Windows) and if it says "'fastboot' is not a recognized command" or "No command 'fastboot' found" then you didn't even install your drivers.
If you have problems with installing Google "how to install adb and fastboot drivers"
Now that you know fastboot is working type in:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Path\To\Recovery.img
Replace "C:\Path\To\Recovery.img" with an actuall path of the recovery file you downloaded.
It should say success.
If it doesn't try to execute:
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
This will delete all data you had on your phone (games, game progress, apps...).
Now try
Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Path\To\Recovery.img
again.
Once you're done type in:
Code:
fastboot reboot
And your phone should still not work. Now what you have to do it try the custom recovery method above (number 2.)
4. If you have a Samsung device:

Fix any samsung android stucked at boot screen!

Hi guys in today's topic iam going to tell you that how you can fix any Samsung android phone that is stucked at booting screen.
It doesn't matter that in which point of boot you phone is stucked. It usually happen when you do something wrong while rooting, flashing, modifying, etc with your device. Do worry with the help of this post you will definitely fix your device. And if you have any questions you can comment down below.
So for fixing you device you have to flash a new firmware on your device using Odin.
**Firmware is a file or zip that contains all the partitions of you device.
**Odin is a flash tool that is use to flash firmware files on any Samsung.
1) Download Samsung usb driver from here and install it.
2)Now download Odin 3.07 from here and extract it on you pc. ( There are latest versions available for Odin but i recommend to use this 3.07 version because i think its easy to use and understand.
3) Then download you Samsung device firmware from here.
Now let's start the flashing process!
1) Remove you phone battery and reinsert if you haven't already. If you device battery is non-removable then it's ok.
2) Now press volume down+ home+ power button to boot into download mod.
3) Press volume up key to continue.
4) Now go to your pc and start odin.
5) Then connect your android device to your pc through usb cable. It's better to use the original usb cable that comes with your device.
6) After your device connected you can see "added" message in the Odin message box.
7) Now make sure that Auto reboot and f. time reset is checked and everything is unchecked. It's important!!!!
8) Then click on "PDA" and select the tar.md5 file (Stock firmware) that you have downloaded.
9) And then just click on start to start the flashing process.
** It will take some time to flash and just sit back don't touch your phone or usb.
10) After that you will see a reset or pass message in Odin. You can now disconnect your phone.
11) After that you phone will boot it will take some time to boot for the first time.
12) Sometimes phone still don't start after flashing the stock firmware because the phone has some corrupt data and cache. So if this happen to you the just go to recovery by pressing volume up+ home+ power and then just factory reset your device and clear the cache and then click on reboot.
** In some device when you clear cache fron recovery it doesn't clear it and just reboot the device automatically. If this happen to then the its totally fine.
After that your phone will definitely boot and fixed!!!
So now you can use your device again.

GT-S6310N recovery stuck + undetect in Odin mode

Hello guys!
I need some sloution for this problem. Few weeks ago, i installed CWM Recovery in my S6310N + root zip. After install root zip, i rebooted it and automically go recovery mode in every start.
-OK, no prob, i try to install custom ROM...hah, failed, becouse try to install zip, the phone automatically reboot (browsed zip, go yes, 0.5 sec and reboot back to recovery).
-OK, don't have a panic, try to back stock ROM...hah...i couldn't boot Odin mode, except ADB shell (adb reboot bootloader command, the ADB saw my phone in recovery mode). BUT, when boot Odin mode successful, i have a error code 10 in Device Manager (Samsung mobile USB CDC Composite Device failed to start, same win10 Pro, same Windows 7 and Vista).
I tried a lots of driver, cable, little rabbits, huge cannons, but nothing happened.
So the question: how to solving error code 10 in ODIN mode and can flashing a stock ROM?
I tried these solution:
-checked a lots of USB ports/PCs/cables
-replaced Samsung drivers (including Samsung Kies)
-i used to a hungarian strong language, when i angry
-ADB shell Command prompt (boot in Odin mode, becouse i cannot boot it with hardware buttons (just only vibrating when i push a button combination))
I hope to this phone not died, when I installed a Root zip in CWM Recovery.
Thanks a help and a lots of useful solution.
