I picked this phone up for $50.00 bucks yesterday Great deal I thought anyways Ive read and tried every driver on this site and cant get my PC to recognize the phone for nothing.Also I cant get it into download mode im sure im not getting the combo right on this.Can someone please post a link with the drivers you used and how you got yours into download mode?
Like i said ive read im not PC dumb its driving me insane here lol.
Im running windows 7 64 bit Im trying to root the phone and or try a custom rom.
The phone is :
Model SGH-T959V
Firmware Version 2.2.1
Baseband T959VUVKD1
Kernal 2.6.32.9
Build number FROYO.VUVKD1
Thanks in advanced for any help.
First, download Kies Mini to install the USB drivers
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.c...110715050425343/Kies_Mini_For_Galaxy_S_4G.exe
Download mode:
1) Remove your phone's battery and usb cable.
2) Plug in usb cable to computer
3) put battery back into phone
4) Hold vol + and - and keep holding both of them
5) Plug usb cable.
This is what i have tried.I did uninstall and did everything over.PC doesnt see the phone and when i try to get into download mode i hold both vol buttons down plug usb into phone and the phone just starts up.I must not be holding my tongue right lol.I have never had something like this whip me I dont get it.
It will charge on the pc but does nothing else.

Yes that would be an option but shouldnt the pc recognize the phone?
If your phone is rooted, download quickboot from the market. Install it and run it, pick "download". Should let you boot into download mode.

Guess Ill take a break I cant get anything to work.Going to try Super one click on a XP machine see what happen or see if it will recognize the phone.
I was going to suggest what FB last said. Get the Android SDK, install it, run the manager the first time, when prompted for what to download, only select the platform tools. Once done, open a command prompt, CD to C:\Program File (x86)\Android\Android-sdk\platofrm-tools (I think...I'm not on my PC) and type: adb reboot download

I know exactly zero about what yall are talking about but how do i ypass frp om galaxy s4
Sorry, this is not a forum for the Galaxy S4 from 2013. This forum is for the T959V, the Galaxy S 4G, which came out in 2011. Unfortunately Samsung made their names fairly confusing there...
UNROOT METHOD FOR AT&T LG G3
So you messed around with your G3 too much and broke something... or do you need to return it or send it in for service. In either case, you may need to un-root and restore the phone to factory settings.
Follow the instructions below to get your phone back to stock.
How to un-root the LG G3 on AT&T
1. Download all four files
Driver
LG Flash Tool
.DLL
.TOT
Mirror of above files - Thanks to clsA
***If anyone is interested in mirroring the above files... please do so and post the links and I will update the OP***
2. Install LG United mobile driver
3. Install LG FlashTool using instructions in zip folder
4. Unzip LG850AT-V10d.zip and LGD850_20140613_LGFLASHv160_DLL.zip in to a new folder
5. Turn of your phone
6. Using a USB 2.0 Port, plug one end in to PC
7. Hold the Volume Up key and plug USB cable in to phone - this will put your phone in to download mode.
8. Open Device manager and scroll down to Ports
9. Click on Ports and right click LGE Mobile USB Serial Port
10. Select properties - go to Port Settings Tab and click on Advanced
11. Change COM Port to COM41 - Click OK and Close device manager
12. Go to LG Flash tool and run as administrator
13. Select Manual Mode and browse to the folder you extracted the files to and select the .dll and .tot you downloaded
and unzipped in item 4 and place in corresponding box. dll in dll box and .tot in S/W box
14. Click OK
15. Click Yellow arrow to begin
16. When the Port 1 (COM41) box is ready, unplug USB cable from phone, wait 5 seconds and plug cable back in to phone.
17. The process will take up to 45 Min (Mine took 2594 sec)
18. When you see a large 3 on the screen - unplug phone, pull battery and reboot
At this point your phone is un-rooted and restored to factory settings.
19. Once you reboot - go to settings, backup and restore, and hit reset to perform a factory reset. (Optional)
20. Download root checker and run to confirm you no longer have root (Optional)

Click to collapse
To Confirm that you have no Rooted flag in the service menu, follow the instructions below
To check:
1. Go to dialer
2. enter 3845#*850#
3. Scroll to and click on LG RCT
4. click Display Results
Here you will see that it shows the device is rooted

WARNINGS & DISCLAIMERS
Proceed with caution and at your own risk - I am not responsible if your phone self destructs, gets bricked, or melts.
Please keep in mind that both these methods will yield ROOT only - as of know there is no way to unlock bootloader on AT&T
Rooting and any other modifications to your phone will void your warranty - do not root if you do not know what you are doing.
Rooted devices will not be able to receive OTA updates. You may have to unroot and restore stock in order to accept updates.
FAQ:
Q. Will this reset my root counter in the hidden settings menu?
A. Based On my experience - YES - After restoring using this method the root counter showed NO ROOT and the Root Checker app from the market also showed Not Rooted.
Q. When I tried to follow the above method I get a "Can't change to download mode" error referencing "Error 00000064"
A. I experienced this several times when attempting to un-root using a USB 3.0 port. Connect the phone using a USB 2.0 port preferably connected directly to the computer - and make sure the phone is already in download mode. Occasional you may need to unplug the USB cable from your phone for a couple of seconds and reconnect to get the process started.

Don't need it now and hopefully won't, but if I do this is where I'm headed. Thanks man.
Had to do this for a boot loop I induced trying to remove CarrierIQ. I was following the thread from the general section which has all this information but spread out through the thread. Very simple. Nice to have all the links to the ATT specific stuff so thanks for posting this thread. Would have saved me 40+ minutes of searching around.
I followed the guide but every time I am at Step 15, process fails with message "Can't change to download mode" 00000064. I am still able to get to download mode and do the steps again and again but it doesn't get past this same error message and fails.
I did a factory reset before running the flasher tool. After a couple of failed attempts, I enabled "usb debugging" thinking that might have to do something with the reset process. Still no go ...
Any suggestions? or solutions? Thanks.
Having this same issue. Driving me crazy >.<

USB 2.0 with OEM cable and Windows 8 machine. So no USB 3.0 here. I am trying to arrange a windows 7 machine. I read somewhere around here that LG drivers don't play well with Windows 8/8.1 so thought its worth a try.

Followed this sequence too. Still same. Can't change to download mode. This time around it didn't show "00000064". But hey thanks for suggestion. :good:
Finally I was able to get a computer running windows 7. I setup the machine with fresh download and installation of drivers and tools. Reset process went through without a hitch. It took 277 sec for the entire flash process to complete. I verified the root counter in LG RCT menu and its says "Not Rooted" now. All traces of root gone. Time to box it up and send it to the new owner

Now my phone is stuck in a bootloop on the LG life's good screen, I've tried hard resetting it ( with the volume down and power button combo) the Android guy pops up for one millisecond and disappears going back to the LG screen not doing anything the only other the only other thing I can do is go into downloading mode( while connected to a computer hold the volume button up) but when I do that my computer does not recognize my phone saying code 10 device cannot start up I have called LG they refused to help me get into recovery mode I have called Google Android support they don't know how to help I have also called windows trying to see if it was my computer's fault and they decided it wasn't I am kind of out of options I'm hoping someone knows how to help me I'll appreciate any help I can get thank you.
You need to download a MetroPCS KDZ and use rhe LG Flash Tool to flash the KDZ and bring your phone back to life.

To get into download mode you need make sure phone is 100% powered off then hold the volume up button and then plug in the usb cable. Dont release the power up button until the phone is fully in download mode not just the first screen. Also search for your phones adb drivers and install them to your pc not just the usb drivers. Make sure to uninstall any existing drivers first.

Did you try another pc with the adb drivers installed to see if you get the same error? If it connects on a different pc try this on the problem pc.
Open task manager
Click on the Hardware tab
Click the Device Manager button.
Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers section.
Right-click every device under the Universal Serial Bus controllers node, and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
Restart the computer, and allow the computer to reinstall the USB controllers.
Plug in the your phone in download mode and test to to see if the issue is resolved.
You can also download Ccleaner and fix any registry errors for free. I've used it for years and it works really well.
Still no joy. Try a system restore on your pc sounds like the device management could be screwed up.
All kinds of funky sh*t can happens when a pc crashes. You said you have windows 10 as a last resort you can do a system refresh which reinstalls the os but keeps your files.

Everything you need can be found here in the LG G Stylo forums and if it's not here a google search will help.
You need...
MetroPCS 5.1.1 KDZ
LG drivers
LG Flash Tool
Download the KDZ. Install the LG drivers while you wait for the 1.2GB KDZ to be downloaded. Download the LG Flash Tool and when the KDZ has completed downloading run it as an administrator. Settings in Flash Tool should be fine. Point to the KDZ and begin the flash. Normal or CSE. Normal does not wipe data, CSE wipes all user data. You'll be prompted with something about your internet connection. Do not close this, the tool should be flashing the KDZ. Wait for the phone to be rebooted after flashing. Profit.

I was under the impression that the phone was entering dl mode but just not getting recognized by the pc. Either or you should bring it to a corporate store and tell them it boot looped while updating and play dumb. They should replace it since its under warranty. Or call lg and do it that way although its about a ten day wait.

I unbricked my LG MS550 another way:
With phone powered off, I held the volume down button and plugged in my usb cable. That booted up the boot loader. Then I did these commands:
Fastboot devices
Fastboot -w erase system
Fastboot oem lock
Then I unplugged phone, took the battery out to power off. Then holding down the volume up button while plugging in the usb cable. That put phone into download mode. After that I used the "error recovery update" option in LG Bridge.
Im getting thris error "xml document must have a top level element line: 0
Hey i have a bricked stylo 2 K550bn and i cannot download the kdz from the website it just brings me to a blank page (i did double click enter for using chrome still nothing)
Does anyone have or can reupload the K550BN stylo 2 stock kdz? Tmobile usa. Thanks
Hey Friends,
You must have seen very good days with Lenovo P2 but when there comes a bad day when your phone stops responding to button holds and restarts. You may or may not have a clue what to do to get your phone working again just like before.
I got into this situation where only thing my phone was able to operate was a RED LED on connecting it to my laptop. Then I had to read tens of pages on XDA to find answers to all my questions. If you are in such a situation and your phone is UNLOCKED then you have come to the right place. Procedure is quite simple but remember, I am writing this guide to define complete process from blackout to complete update so follow this guide as per your needs.
I faced this situation of Total Blackout / Dead Phone (Almost) with only Red LED working and it can be very scary. So, here is the simplest procedure you can follow. I want to appreciate all those people who helped me in finding a way to boot my phone with each and everything working. Long story short, let's get this done.
Tools Required:
I am mentioning here all the Tools you will need. I will urge you to download and save these tools in case you want to unbrick your phone any time:
1. Minimal ADB and Fastboot setup for PC
2. Lenovo USB drivers v1.1.33
3. Qualcomm USB Drivers
4. Qualcomm Flash Image Loader (QFIL) v2.0.1.9 for your PC in case you have corrupted your phone's IMEI and/ or Baseband
5. Blankflash.bat in case you want to recover from total blackout (Attached)
6. Stock MM S048 Firmware for Lenovo P2 in case phone doesn't boot
7. S048_ModemTelephony.zip in case your phone boots through Stock MM S048 but SIM isn't detected and IMEI is missing. I have made a complete modem zip file for installation through recovery.
8. S251_ModemTelephony.zip in case your phone is on latest firmware and doesn't detect SIM and has lost IMEI. I have made a complete modem zip file for installation through recovery.
9. QCN file for recovering baseband version and giving you most precious network signals. (Attached)
10. WinRAR or PeaZip for uncompressing files
I will recommend you to have a specific folder for keeping all these tools in a single place.
Procedure for Unbricking:
Before going with the procedure, make sure you have downloaded all the files you need, updated Lenovo and Qualcomm drivers etc. Here is the procedure:
1. If total blackout with red LED notification when connecting to PC: Unzip blankflash.zip to a folder in C drive. Now connect your P2 to PC through USB, press volume+, volume- and power button simultaneously and double click blankflash.bat. You might have no success in your first try. Just keep trying and it will load your phone to Fastboot. Restart your phone in TWRP if installed and install a working ROM for your phone after doing a wipe. If all is good and phone works OK then great but if you have lost IMEI and baseband then it is better to reinstate your phone through first MM stock ROM S048
2. Install S048 firmware through Minimal ADB and Fastboot - use flash instructions in .txt file.
3. Wait for startup of phone. Check if fingerprint, BT, WIFI and SIM work if all work then OK.
4. If fingerprint, BT, WIFI and SIM are not working then check IMEI through dialer. Dial *#06#. If IMEI is not available then install latest TWRP through Fastboot.
5. Start P2 in TWRP recovery and install S048_ModemTelephony.zip. Restart phone to see if WIFI and SIM work.
6. If SIM is detected but not giving signals and Baseband is shown as unknown then extract 000000_0.qcn file given in .7z and restore through QFIL and restart your phone into Fastboot.
7. Now, install stock recovery of S048 firmware through Fastboot and restart your phone.
8. Use your phone like you normally do and update your P2 till firmware S251 and see if everything works including calls. Update your phone through OTA.
9. After OTA installation, stock recovery may say that update failed. Just press Back, go into Wipe user data menu and Wipe Cache only. Restart your phone which will be updated to latest version and will ask you to update to a newer version. Allow it to download the next update.
10. After installation of S251 update, install latest TWRP through Fastboot and install most recent version of LOS 16 so that your vendor partition is stable and free from any bloated files. Now, use your phone just like you want to.
If you need further clarification then ask in this thread.

You should download S048 and use flashall.bat inside that archive to install it all. However, if you lose IMEI or baseband then you can use modem and qcn files given in this thread.

If red light blinks, your phone can be detected by your laptop. Check ports in device manager settings and you'll see a new port with Qualcomm 9800 series number. If that's there, try blankflash to start in fastboot. It might need some tries before startup. Be patient and keep trying till you are in fastboot.

Press Volume+, Volume- and Power simultaneously and double click flashblank.bat. It might take some tries to finally install the scripts and start phone in fastboot. It took me 20+ tries to finally detect my phone through blankflash. Please, read OP completely.

No. Keep USB connected. Try blankflash. If it doesn't detect phone or go ahead. Close command terminal, double click again and keep doing it till it processes the files. If it is stuck somewhere. Close terminal and try again.

Check if your USB cable is alright and appropriate drivers are installed. Otherwise reinstall drivers, restart your PC and try again.

I think you might have damaged some hardware. But anyway if you want to use blankflash, I have a method.
In lenovo p2 we have another mode called QDloader mode, in which we can use blankflash. For entering into this mode, it's little tricky but, can enter in one or two go.
So, here's how:
1. Switch off the mobile.
2. Press the volume up key,
3. While holding the volume up key, insert the usb cable and at the same time press the power button (this is the trick, we have to insert and hit at the same time).
And voila! :highfive: you will see black screen with only red notification led blinking.
we are into QDloader mode. Now use blankflash :good:
