[Q] Bricked lg optimus one

Hi guys,
yesterday I put evoking (android 4.2.1) on my phone, and I wanted to change it, so I've installed ROM Manager..
After that, I've rebooted on recovery, but, the phone shows only the lg's icon..
So I tried to unbrick this whit KDZ (using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314) and, I tried all the possibility, but it still not working. Now, it does not turn on!! Can you help me please?
P.S. Sorry for the english I'm using google translate..

remove battery, plug the phone to computer while pressing vol up and power to see if computer recognize it, if it does, flash again via kdz
after reflash, restart and w8 for the phone to boot, it will take some minutes to boot, just be patient

And if the computer don't recognize it?

that will not be good, maybe hardbrick

Hey bud,
its simeple.
even i faced the same issue once. Just reboot the mobile and while booting go to the recovery mode (home+vol up + powerbutton). tere u can reinstall the rom. try ICy/PAC MAN. it works beautifully. remember to keep this rom zip file in SD card while rebooting.

If you removed the battery after unsuccessful kdz flash, then your phone is hard bricked and you need to go to LG

I can't boot my tablet into recovery mode

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't boot into recovery mode. I have twrp installed. Once I get to the usb symbol, that's as far as it gets. It's like it freezes. I don't know. I tried for about a half hour. I finally gave up. If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong please reply. Thanks

Sounds like you are on the old boitloader with 4 icons. The USB icon is for fastboot and won't do anything more once you select it......so that is normal.
Using the down volume control select rck and choose volume up to go to recovery.

Thanks for your help. Where do I find the latest bootloader and instructions on how to install it? I seen it on xda's site, but not sure where. Ok, I found the file and instructions, but how can I flash this in recovery if I can't boot into recovery?

You need to use the fast boot method from a pc.

My tablet freezes just before it reaches recovery mode
I'm playing hell with this tablet. Now it freezes just before it reaches recovery mode. And, I'm not sure how to get into fastboot mode. I've checked these forums, and the internet, but I can't find instructions. I don't use this tablet much except when I go out of town for work. It's rooted with an old rom. So my experiance with this table is slim. If anyone can help me with this problem you would be my hero for the day. Thanks to the people that have taken the time to help my this far.

I need help please
I have a 500.00 paper wate. My tablet will not boot. The screen stays on and I can't shut it off. I have adb installed, but my comp. does not see it. I checked the device manager and it is not there. i'm asuming it can't see it if it won't boot. If the comp. can't see the device you can't use adb. I don't know what to do. Please someone help me.

Does it actually get to the bootloader screen with the icons? If so then it is probably recoverable.
Sounds like you have a combination of wrong drivers on your PC and something got wiped on the device.
Have you seen Buster99's fixes here?

It does not get to the screen with the three icons. I freezes on the screen with the asus logo, and the wording in the up left of the screen. It says that it is booting to recovery. That's as far as it gets

And I ask you again - just as in the Minimal ADB Fastboot Tool thread:
Did you by any chance use ROM Manager for anything on your tablet?

My tablet is Micromax Funbook P310 with CWM. I Installed JETROM and booted but It freezes in Micromax logo.I tried to boot to Recovery mode but it either boots a Normal Boot and freezes or I goto a menu which i usually goto reboot in to recovery and it contains Fastboot,Recovery and Normal . I have tried all of three but each time the just goes blank and dosen't work even when press power button.I have my backup so i dont need roms. Plzzzzzzzzzzz help:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Don't mess with a new phone if you don't know exactly what you are doing.
Now your phone is soft-bricked.
Download this (FOR GT-I8260) or this (FOR GT-I8262) stock firmware and use ODIN to flash it to your phone, as described in this post (thanks to Omkar$).
I am not responsible if you hard brick your phone.
Soft-bricking was your mistake, and there is no reason to be mad at us.

Exactly.
Good luck in the future.

when i press vol down+home+power button it says factory mode.....how to go to download mode then????

I recommend using Samsung Kies for reverting to stock ROM. Just boot in download mode and select Forward update and initialization

This was my original thread. I installed flash-tool, and did the volume down etc. It told me to unplug my phone, AND NOW IT FREEZES AFTER THE ANDROID BOOT SCREEN! (I also hear a short buzz before it reboots)
I don't know how to get into recovery. It's a new phone I just got today. Please help! I'll do anything to have it working again! :crying:

well to get into recovery you hold the volume down button after the Sony splash screen the phone should emit a green led and vibrate if you hold down the volume down it should turn purple to enter recovery. If you can't get that far you will need flashtool. If you just wanted root you could have used kingroot. or you could flash a prerooted zip. Thats if you had already installed xz dual recovery ater flashing if not just try reflashing in flashtool.

What do I do? I can't get into recovery! Can you please guide me through this? How do I know if it's hard bricked?
Also, I just got it today, so if I can't resolve the issue, I want to ask if I could return it, but I only have a week to figure that out!
PLEASE! I'll do anything, I just want it to work again!

BTW don't open any more threads on this because it violates xda rules of posting for the same thing. Anyway I hate flashtool but try exclude t/a and reset customizations on the menu to the right. Your phone is not hard bricked and should be fixable. You should pm me and I will try to work you through this.

Did you get my PM? My sent folder says "0" but I tried twice.

entered recovery mode bby mistake and stuck

Hello,
I have accidently put my phone into recovery mode and i can not exit from it. Rebooting and powering off and on doesnt solve anything, it opens to recovery mode again.
I believe that it happened since i hold the power button too long and accidently pressed volume button at the same time. I have checked a lot but couldnt find how to fix. Since i havent backed up my pictures yet, i want to know that if there is a way to exit from this mode without deleting my pictures? I couldnt understand if installing from adb (ı dont know what it does) or fastboot to reboot will delete my data? In addition, i havent been able to install the latest update since my phone didnt have enough memory. Could this situation be related to that? Sorry for asking lot of questions but i am really worried since i dont have any service to have it checked up .
Plsz help
Thank you

Hello Mr. Ak,
Thank you for your reply. Thats why im worried cuz i was not doing anything in recovery. I believe it came up since i accidently hold power button too long and i might have been press volume button meanwhile. So i went there by mistake. Also is it possible that the reason that i cannot reboot is that i wasnt able to upgrade the lastest ver. due to lack of memory .
I have never done flashıng and i actually dont know what it means. I have chacked online that it says it is installing an operating system in a phone.
But the problem is ı havent changed the settings of my phone to usb (it only charges through usb)and i wish i had done that. Is there anything possible i can do now?
