Hello Everyone,
So I've been dealing with a P920 for the last 7 days trying to Flash it and it's not working.
1- Device is booting to Android but all applications are crashing ( unexpected error com.x.x ) force close.
2- I tried LG recover mode, phone flashed but once successful and rebooted, same error upon loading desktop.
3- Tried rooting the phone with SuperOneClick2.3 ; Rooting successful, upon reboot, rooting is lost
4- Downloaded KDZ original firmware V21A Europe based from lg-firmware site and used offline installation ( shttps + modified host file etc..) . Installation successful and flashing is OK; rebooting = same error on startup.
5- Downloaded firmware V10B and flashed it successfully. Rebooted, phone version is still showing V21A !
6- Rooted phone + installed CWM -> successful, rebooted, it's gone.
Now this is the first time since 10 years that I get into such thing and the device is getting me on my nerves.
Any idea or advice is much appreciated!
Well
Looks like a hardware issue. ROM, RAM, Internal memory. U need to find a way to delete partitions and re do them somehow. Have no idea if there is a software for that. I had it for my SGS. It should help.
Just repartition whole internal memory.
UPDATE:
Here you go ! Good Luck ! and tell us did it worked for you

Remember not to switch internet with external memory or u will brick it totally!

Great, I will give it a try thanks.
Do you think I will have to delete all partitions and create them again ? or I should only specific ones ?

Have no idea. Try to make some research I don't want to give you wrong answer. Should be only one where rom data is, but I'm not sure.

Hello MinedSafe; As I mentioned earlier, whenever I root the device and reboot, it's not rooted anymore. It is not possible to install CWM ( changes are not applied )
I have managed to root the device and tried the parted command, I get command not found.
I have noticed that once I get into the stock recover and wipe everything, I do not get the first welcome screen to setup the device, it's booting with the same error.
I have started to lose hope. Device is no longer under warranty
Have you try to recover it from LG mobile support tools ?

It looks like the partitions are damaged or eprom/rom ( no commands ) memory is gone. So the only way is to send this to LG service where they can upgrade/rapair with their 'hardware' tools. If you try on you own you might get to a stage where even they wont be able to fix it.
What kind of software you where putting in to it ? Froyo or GB ?

Another person, so its now more likely then when upgrading the partition table was screwed up. It could be a mistake in addressing the memory when flashing.

First you must search LG service in your country. They are everywhere.
Hi guys! I've looked all around and tried the fixes that people recommended, which is basically going back to stock.
So this is what happened to my brother's phone:
Was using the phone and all a sudden the phone freezes (He was on Android L) and he rebooted it. After rebooting, the phone went into bootloop. He downloaded some program that supposedly fixes softbrick and bootloop (by flashing stock ROM) Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.7.
The phone was fixed.. Kinda.. He couldn't get any cell signal. Turns out his baseband and IMEI read unknown. He has the box the phone came in, to we know the physical IMEI number.
Is there a fix for this? I've tried this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/lost-imei-please-help-t2529103 but it didn't work.
Any ideas?

Also check if wifi mac address is changing after each reboot. Corrupted persist partition can cause problems like that and also other things like crasing apps
Check out my thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-to-fix-persist-partition-t2821576. It worths a try. If it does not help then you have to buy a new motherboard or claim your warranty if you have any.

Then it is up to you what are you going to do with the persist partition. You will lose nothing but time by formating the persist partition. If it not fix your problem then you have to buy a new motherboard for the phone to make phone calls either way because you dont have any efs backup.

Hey everybody I hope someone can help me to rescue my phone.
I flashed carbon and ukm. Then wanted to change GPU governor to simpleondemand and got hot reboots. Was not able to fully boot and lost imei. I tried to restore my backup but they didn't want to boot either, same with another fresh install. Thereafter I deleted synapse folder through recovery and was able to boot my restored ROM. Now I have no imei, no data, no WiFi... In addition my files don't show the files on my phone anymore I only can see them in my recovery, all is still there. My problem is I don't have an extra efs backup only two ROM backups. First I would have liked to know how I can rescue my data? Cause its not showing on booted phone and because of that also not on computer via USB. Is there a proper way to save and what can I do to maybe save my phone. I flashed ROM for years on many different devices and something like that never happened before any help appreciated thanks!!!

A kernel acts as a connection between the

Flash a factory image. If the restarts stop then you know it's a problem with the ROM/kernel. Not all phones are identical, what may work for some doesn't always work for others. Your phone simply may not like some custom kernels, simple as that. If the ones you are flashing are undervolted by default that could be the problem, as some phones respond better to undervolting than others.

Don't use toolkits. Flash the system image with fastboot. If the problem is still there, it's your phone. If the problem disappears, it's the ROM/kernel. Again, use fastboot and not a toolkit.

Hey, I have got a problem with my OnePlus One for quiet some time..
It started about 2 months ago - Whenever I'm on a call, the other side can barely hear me unless I'm on speaker.
I did some reading and there are suggestions that this is because of some mis-written code or something, that makes the input of the microphone low, so that only a small precent of the sound is being transferred to the one I'm talking to.
this may or may not be the problem, but I wanted to ask you fellows if anyone has any suggestion on what's causing this and how to try & solve it.
I'm Running a Stock 5.0.2 Cm12s with the latest OTA update, and this problem started when I had Stock 4.4.4 CM11s.
Device isn't rooted & never was.
Locked Bootloader.
Please help if you can
