[Q] Bricked Phone - Help!

Hey guys,
I tried flashing stock JH7 after disabling lagfix. When I tried to reboot, I ended up in a boot loop and the phone kept getting stuck on the "AT&T World Phone" screen. I can access stock Samsung recovery and Download Mode, but, although I tried numerous methods, Odin3 doesn't recognize my phone in Download Mode. I also don't have any update.zip or backup on my phone that I can flash in stock recovery.
Is there any way I can fix my phone without Odin3? If not, how can I get Odin3 to work on my computer? I'm running Windows 7 HP x64 on my laptop, and I have adb installed, but can't access adb shell for some reason.
I searched numerous threads but couldn't come up with a solution. Please help!

Have you tried reinstalling your drivers?
My laptop won't recognize my phone anymore for the Android UMS drivers so I've been using my desktop to flash using Odin.

I've tried, but Odin only recognizes my phone in recovery mode and doesn't recognize it in download mode.

Fixed at last!
I finally fixed my phone! I found out that I was using the wrong USB drivers -_-
I installed the correct drivers, and voila, my phone was recognized by Odin3
Sorry for the n00b error

Korean Download Mode

Hey,
my phone was stock gingerbread v21e when I decided to try ICS. After all I got it working but was not really convinced. So I tried to downgrade to gingerbread again. First try everything was working, except one thing: When I enter the download mode it shows the korean letters, still. Is it normal or have I done a mistake while downgrading?
Sry for my bad english
edit: I used the LG Flahstool for everything and the Resurrection Guide

I've got this problem, too

it's normal you have downgraded

I had the same, when i downgraded still everytime when the download screen apeared the korean was there.
After downgrading a ran the official lg tool, it updated to v21e, still korean download mode. Then i flashed the files out the downgrade the undowngradeble topic.
That solved it
Don't ask me why:laugh:

Yes

You just followed the undowngradeable guide and it was like before? Ill give it a try tommorow

I can't enter the Fastboot mode... Everytime I install the LG driver 1.0 und the OMAP drivers and plug the phone to the PC it just installs all the LG drivers, but OMAP wont pop up... what am I doing wrong?

use wkparks omap4boot, it will enter fastboot for you.
Install newest lg drivers, and have omap drivers ready, go to devices then plug your phone WITHOUT batery in the usb port, omap will flash three times.
You need to click fast, first flash i opened the device properties, second flash i opened driver settings (then the actual driver not loaded message dissapears, just wait. third flash (you're still in the driver screen) click as fast as possible on the appearing driver fault line.
Then manual search for driver, the go to your omap drivers folder. instal amd64 for 64 bit (doesn't matter which procesor your pc use) if on 32 bit, install the other.
thats's all
ps i'm on a dutch system so i've translated the device screen as best as possible, but i don't know the real names. So maybe you've need extra clarificfation

Every time I try to install the drivers manually, it just shows the message "drivers could not be installed". Doesnt matter which folder I chose. Is it because Win 64 bit? I read that OMAP drivers are not compatible?
On Win 32 OMAP doesnt show up, maybe after a reboot, ill try tommorow

Okay, I got OMAP installed and the fastboot program recognizes it. But when I remove the USB cable, no LG logo is coming

when you've started wparks omap prog, choose 2, then in your screen there's a message, wait 5 seconds. Then put your battery in. no you should enter fastboot mode. It's not neccesary to remove usb cable, something i've experienced. But what works for you

I did it, problem was LG COSMO wasnt installed... (Im an idiot ) How can I test the Downloade Mode Screen?

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S - cant flash

Hi there,
I've read every kind of threads here and no one works for me. I rooted my Samsung GT-I9000 and all worked well, then the phone started acting crazy, my root was gone and when I boot the phone I come to the usual screen where you enter pincode but after that the popup screens start, multiple popups saying that twlauncher crashed, media, acore etc.. so I cant get to the screen where I can enable usb debugging. I can enter the stock recovery and my PC can contact the phone, but when I press vol down + home + power so I get the download mode the PC cant find the phone, not in win7 or in Linux. I have tried every kind of driver there is for Samsung but no one works that make it possible for the PC to find the phone when it is in download mode, win7 list it under "unknown device" and NO driver at ALL works so win7 can reqonize the phone. I've tried installing Kies how many times I dont know and uninstalling, updated SDK, uninstalled every USB driver and even the hubs and installed them again, updated win7.. what can I do to flash the phone!?!? Because Odin, no matter old from new; cant find the phone in DL mode, same with linux. And in stock recovery, I wiped cache and data but the problem is still there when I enter the OS after enter my pin...
How can I flash my phone without PC finding the phone in DL mode and no USB debugging enabled? Or how to flash CWM so I can flash a ROM from SD? Please help!!

At first try another PC with Winsows or use another USB cable.
About recavery-try to find temperery recovery or cwm,that flash from recovery.

As I wrote, my desktop is under Linux and the laptop under Win7 and none can reach the phone, both computers can only detect the phone in Recovery mode, but the laptop under Win7 only detect the phone as offline, Linux on the other hand can reboot phone into recovery from recovery, to download mode and reboot normal. Already tried to use Ubuntu 13 Live and it cant detect the phone in DL mode either. And tried different cables also. And if I find a recovery or CWM, then what? Dont I need to get phone into DL mode to flash something?
But in Linux I've got a small breakthrough, Heimdall can detect the phone know, but fails to flsah anything. Maybe wrong files or something..? But anyhow, if Heimdall now can detect the phone and it couldnt before; know I just need the right files to flash.

Just find a friend who owns Windows desktop/ laptop, download stock from Sammobile, flash stock via Odin. If not, try Odin mobile...

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.

Thats not his problem its his pc read the prior posts

I had the same problem once the device connected as download mode.
The kdz tool doesn't detected and crashed all the times. But miracle happens I kept playing(open&close)the kdz tool app. Somehow it detected and flash the kdz.

Android Studio was a bust still unable to find my device even with the code to direct information to the only USB device connected

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.

My phone does enter download mode just can't do anything from there. ADB can't find device. I even found the port I'm in and tried to force into recovery but still no device connected.
