Hi everyone,
After being guest for a long time here i decided to register to ask for help.
But first, I want to thank everyone here for the very useful info cuz I revived my old phone and tweaked it a lil thanks to XDA guides. Thank u everyone.
Well. To the business.
I have now a Philips s388_m6582k dual sim smartphone and I did a hard reset due to apps laggin and other problems. But after it rebooted, the 1st use wizard works til a part where it forces closes and stop working. Then the screen stays black and does nothing. I can use the notification area and go to the settings, but I can't make it is to the android desktop aka launcher. I want to try to flash it with the stock ROM to see if I can revive it, but I don't have it and also don't know if it will restore the phone to it's default status as if it were new.
Plz, give me a hand to fix it. Also if I shutdown or reboot the phone from that black screen, it goes boot loop. The phone was rooted before the hard reset. What I can do now? I need to use it.
hope anyone reply me soon.
thnks in advice.
Download your stock ROM and flash using sp tool I think you know how.(If you don't know how just ask) and yes you will get your phone to default version
But if you're flashing your stock ROM do keep in mind that all your data will be lost,so do a backup

Well you don't need to install drivers on windows PC unless your phone can't be recognised. Where are you having trouble in sp ? It's the easiest way to flash stock firmware.

well, i open it, i select scatter, then what i do?
i mean, how i do have to connect the phone?
what mode?
volume up+power: recovery
volume down+power: factory test
as i know, the phone shoulda enter a download mode. so the problem is on how i have to connect the phone.
Just extract the zip file for your firmware open sp flash tool ,select scatter loading and browse through the extracted zip file to see android scatter.txt ,just click download on the tool and connect your powered off phone to PC through USB after and wait for the confirmation.
Here's the your phones driver http://gsmusbdriver.com/philips-s388 with tutorial for install BTW.

Just click download in the tool and then turn off your phone completely (no mode) then plug it through USB wait for success notification.
PS first boot take some time 10-15 min maybe

well, i tried to do as u said, but when i connect the phone, it does nothing. just start charging (the battery icon appears) then goes stand-by.
also, SP flash tool does nothing when i press download. this is, after selecting the scatter. windows doesn't seems to recognize it.
so,
what i can do?
PD: also, here are some screenshots of what the phone does if i turn it on.
the setup wizard starts, then i can go on til it crashes.
anyways, i can swipe the notification/status bar and open settings. but the setup wizard never finishes and i cant get to the launcher/desktop to use it. no matter if there is a sim/sdcard.
so thats why i got the idea of reflash it to fix this problem.
i atacched some screenshots.
PD2: i forgot to mention that, if i try to shutdown/restart it, it goes to bootloop.

EDIT: after various attemps, i found a videotutorial on how to fix this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMqUdrsfxbw
and i found what was going wrong. it was the sp flash tool version.
i downloaded the same version as shown on the video and did the same as the video and....
VOILE!!! it worked!!! YAY!! n.n
but now, the only thing that i still have to do, is to get a rom with spanish, cuz i dont want it on english.
but at least, i fixed the main problem.
so here are my thanks.
so, now i need the spanish rom. can u help me to get it?
by now, i learned how to use sp flash tool. thnk u so much n.n
edit: the rom must be android 4.4.2
when I have the ROM in Spanish, this issue can be taken for closed and solved.
thanks in advance.
edit 2: hope this thread can be helpful and used by other users to solve this issue on this phone.

I'm not using this phone so I've had to look up for this as well.I'll share the link for Spanish ROM when I find it .the country of the ROM doesn't matter. Also can you try to change language in the language and input tab in settings

thnks for reply.
well, i cant change the language to spanish.due to the fact that the rom dont have the language included. it only includes english, vietnamit, russian, korean, chinese and japanese. so thats why i need the rom including spanish.
about the country...
i dont care about it. i just care about the rom having spanish included. the original one had english, portuguese and spanish. maybe it was the one located for argentina or latin america. but anyways, as i said, the country/locale isnt important.
thnks in advance. :good:
hope u can help me to find the rom. i already made a search, but no luck. there is a jellybean rom, but the phone runs kitkat 4.4.2 as it was the stock system and the 4.2 one is for the single sim version. and the dual sim version that i found with kitkat dont have the spanish included.
waiting for ur reply.

can't find the Spanish ROM either.
Stick with the English version or a custom ROM like cm12(this is lollipop and is released for your phone ) I recall cm12 having espanol language.

Got a bit of a problem.... I flashed a ROM onto my phone (forgot to back up, that's my big issue) It said it flashed just fine. Went to start up, just ran the lg logo for about 30 mins. Decided to try re-flashing it. Made sure to wipe everything. Nothing, still have the same issue. Tried to get back into CWM, but its gone now. Tried doing emergency download software, now its stuck on the screen "Download is in progress, do not disconnect cable." Im stuck. I dont know what else to do. I've tried the LG Support Tool, but it says to use Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant, which I can't get because I can't find a download for it and I cant get it from my phone.
I have the stock ROM image, but I have no clue how to install it without CWM or something. Any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I needs my phone...

they said to use Upgrade Assistant that means you never told them about the truth: phone is not booting....big mistake or let me understand that:Upgrade Assistant works when your phone is in download mode ?!
what is that rom you tried to flash surely was for your phone ?
also you have stock rom this is a .zip file or what format?
can you enter fastboot mode ?

Um... Let's see... The LG Support Tool which in most cases you can use to return your phone to stock comes up with a message saying "Upgrade tool is preinstalled in your phone. Please allow to install "Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant" when the phone is being connected to the PC". That's what the tool tells me.
The ROM I tried to flash was BrokenOutConnect v1.0. Its for the LG Connect, which is almost the same phone, and some one said it would be ok to flash it.
The stock ROM is in an .img file, so I need to figure out how to install from that
And I have no idea how to enter fast boot (unless your referring to the vol up+down + pwr, in which case, that doesn't work.
Sorry, can't post the original page for the ROM, I'm too new lol

ok
I think was a bad idea to flash that rom because is not exactly made for your phone one can damage a phone in this way never do like that !
about your stock rom...maybe this is a backup made by stock recovery ? do you have a recovery.img file in that update ? there is a single img file in that stock rom or more files ?

No I do not... I actually just found that stock image on another forum. File is called LG_Lucid_VS840_4g_system.img . I realize that was a horrible idea... Google kinda led me astray on that one lol. I just wanna figure out how to return it to stock. Or if anyone has a link for "Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant", that would be much appreciated.

but do you have a backup of your current rom on your sdcard ? It's made by stock recovery if so search for a file named recovery.img
here is the link to your phone check if this is really your phone also download usb drivers and software to update it from LG site
install USB drivers then download and run LG Mobile Support Tool this will connect to LG site download files and finally will request to connect phone to PC then will make update

my device is not rooted
Hello dany00711,
Well, first of all I want to say something! Please learn to spell correcty, and do you know the meaning of the word grammar?
But I will try to help you. So you can't install the latest firmware for the Xperia E single? Allright. Can you send me the link from where you downloaded the stock .ftf? Maybe it's a incorrect or corrupt file! Please do that, and try to flash again with Flashtool. You don't need any drivers installed for flashing! Only the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers. I know you did this, but check it. and try again. Meanwhile please send the link.
Have a nice day!
this file is Stock Kernel Xperia E C1505_11.3.A.2.23.ftf 5.6 MB i have all this drivers installed but still not works it show me always your device is not recognized
Dude... It is a firmware... A firmware can't fit into 5.1 MB...
Here you have a proper .ftf file: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B8naZAFW2NP3NEJERTZ3aTZJbTg/edit?pli=1. It's 392 MB, that's a proper size for a firmware file! Download, put in in in the Firmwares folder in Flashtool. And just flash it with Flashtool. Many tutorials are circling the internet, so it is very easy.
And make sure to install the the Flashmode and Fastboot drivers again.
Cheerios. Hope it works!

Before I help you any further, do you know the meaning of the word punctuation? Please, try to make proper sentences, because it makes it a lot easier to read your post, and to understand the problem you are facing!
So, have you followed everything in this tutorial? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240614
Just try it oncemore, and if you keep failing to flash, then it's time to use another computer. Perhaps from a friend, or a borther/sister. If this still isn't working, then I'm out of options. Perhaps other people might know other things to do, but we'll see!
Goodluck! And check this site: http://www.wikihow.com/Use-English-Punctuation-Correctly.

Yes it'd brick it if you mess up.
But according to what I experience. I don't think you'd brick it if you keep your phone plugged without doing anything to it. Dude, chill. It won't do any damage
Odin v3.04 is what I prefer. Google it.
Search your firmware on sammobile

google odin like bro brian said. afterward it's all straight forward process,and yes,you don't need to be rooted.
off ur phone>press power+home+vol down, then when download mode comes,press vol up to confirm.
then open your odin,makes sure repartition untick(default shoud be unticked),select your firmware via PDA,connect your phone(make sure u installed samsung driver to be detected),see the blue light,then can click start and wait till it's green light and reboot itself.
don't take all my word for it,search some info in general section before you flash it,if you done everything properly,it shouldn't be any problem.

dude no offence but...just believe in us
3.04 is working flawlessly
a firmware for a specific country means the default language is set that way, and English is definitely included.
if you follow the outside link, i'm not saying there'd definitely be errors, but it's better to follow instructions given by us
download odin 3.04
download the firmware
put your phone into download mode
kill all KIES process (your computer)
Run odin as admin
connect phone to PC
choose your firmware on the tab: PDA
click start
wait until it reboots
DONE
be brave and simply click start. don't even touch your computer while the process is still going (just in case)
thanks!!

Connect your phone when it's still turned on. Drivers should install now automatically. Which you don't have to click anything and it'd install something. Then when it says it's fully done. Boot to download mode.
Connect it but don't open Odin first. It will install some drivers again. Also automatically. When it's done. Right click on the Odin icon. Choose run as admin (window 7 or up).
If it says connected.
Choose your firmware and click start.
Before you click anything relating to starting the process in Odin. Even if you were in the download mode. If you weren't flashing anything yet, it's gonna be okay
Hope I helped.
If you need any further help. Keep asking. It's fine to answer

Hy. My name is Steven. Yesterday i bought an Lg L Fino d290. I rooted it with purpledrake and i installed Titanium Backup. I restored some backups from my old phone (an Chinese one : Colorovo City Tone Vision). I restored Contact storage, Phone storage and some other apps. After I rebooted the phone an error pops up "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped". I tapped on "ok" and imediately it apeared again. I pressed ok again and still apeared again and again. I freaked out and i realised what I've done.. Then i delelted all app chache and rebooted the phone. Nthing changed. I entered in stock recovery mode ( i can't install cwm on my phone) and i whiped all data and cache. I rebooted the phone and nothing changed. The error dialogue is still there. I tryed to install Titanium Backup again to see what i can do but it didn't work because the error message poped up contiously. Even if i install the app from Magazine Play or from an apk file it doesn;t work. i have adb connection but not many commands are working. for example install.. I don't know what to do.. the phone keep showing me the error with and without the sim card. I can open the phone app and the contacts but i can't open the message app. Please help me. What shoul I do? I knnow i dit something wrong.. Excuse my bad english
Hello.
I don't know exactly what the problem is, but it seems as you states, that something is corrupted. Therefor i think it's better that you try to do a full restore with the LG software and reinstalling it. Try this link: http://www.downloads.techdiscussion.in/smartphones/lg-l-fino-pc-suite-and-usb-driver/.
yes, lvg2800 bro is right. u have to flash stock rom via pc.
Don't ever restore system data from one phone to another or one rom to another. They each handle this type of stuff differently. What happened is that when you restored you phone and contact data it used a different set up and corrupted your new device setup. Your gonna have to wipe the device now and start over. Lesson learned
question
How can i restore the firmware. the lg mobile supert tool tels me that is up to date and whe i click to repair it tells me that everything is ok... please from when can i get the stock rom

You could try wiping the data from the stuff you restored in TIBU. Or by doing a factory reset

To be honest I dont know what to tell you at this point. If a factory rest doesn't work then and you can't restore the default rom I would contact t the company you got it from.

No, download only the firmware for you model, If was D290 download the hungary version if was D295 (like mine) download CIS/CIS or another of them...

Thank you very much for helping me. I stil have some questions. What does it mean "Note the number of firmware"? In LG Spupport Tool it tells me that is have the software D29010a and my phone is D290N. What does it mean that "10a"? On the site I gave you last time at HUN firmware version it writes "10b" not "10a" and "D290" not "D290N". Can I flash the HUN firmware or those details are important and I can't? Thank you!

10a is the version of firmware i think, no problem if you flash 10b, the only problem is that it version v10b have difficults to root, but if you don't whant do it, its perfect to you
You can flash the HUN firmware, v10b or v10c...

Hey, sorry for the late reply, but I was away from the website for some time hoping someone can reach out, and yet there you are!
Well i actually got over the issue with the voice from Google and I have a keyboard now , but there are somethings out of place on my phone, like for example the clock is gone , my precious Notepad is gone as well along with all the important notes, before I attempted to root my device I made a full back up ( the root on my phone is terribly difficult, can't find a good guide that fits my need to do it safely.
My build number is: FRD-L09C1858B387

Can you elaborate more ? should I reflash it? I've read on some issue resolving contents that I have to reflash the update.zip, but can't quite get an idea of how to do it?
I don't want to brick my phone that's why I stopped from rooting it
And I want to get my clock back and more importantly to get the notes from notepad back :/
Thanks in advance!

Hello, do you have TWRP on your phone or the stock recovery? How did u manage to reinstall the stock ROM ? In my opinion you need to flash a clean stock ROM from official website via dload method

Did not post any guide..
Its simple..but you need correct files to do it successfully..
Download correct stock firmware file
Correct I mean according to you model and build number.
The firmware number should be same or higher ..
If you have any question post here.

if i want to flash the stock firmware i should do it with which tool ? is it the same tool that is used with rooting which is TWRP , or do i use something else
and when you say the correct files , is the file required for this process called update.zip?

No tool is needed , you just need to place the correct UPDATE.APP (downloaded from honor official site) in a folder called dload a
at the root of your SD card, shut down your phone then hold power + both volume buttons. When the phone is starting release the power button but keep holding volume buttons. It should start installing the firmware.
If it doesn't work you probably need to install a stock recovery and retry.
If the firmware you have chosen is the wrong one the phone won't accept it . (Upgrade failed)
Please take note that if the process succeed it will erase all your data, you should take a backup before
Good luck bro even if it isn't a tough process, and let us know the end of the story

Download firmware
Extract firmware
Put update.app in dload folder
Power up the phone by pressing three button(power button, vol+ and vol- button)
Flashing process begin..
You need a stock recovery to perform dload..

I want to try to root and fix my phone before the weekend started so I can have fun, can I annoy you or anyone else with this?
I need to get help with two things, first get the flash on my FRD-L09 FRD-L09C185B387, emui 5 androids 7.0 and get my notepad and clock back, second, i need to root it, in the right way with no issues.
Thanks best regards
To root it you first need to install a clean ROM without missing apps. In order to do that you need to perform the dload method that I detailed previously.
Then unlock bootloader, flash TWRP, flash superSU and you're rooted
