Hi all, I come to you all in this time of great need. I have in my possession a LG Optimus Net or LGL45C as its know technically.
I started to suffer from problems from gapps resulting from uninstalling the Google Talk app(yes doing this in retrospect was incredibly stupid). After failing to resolve my problem when trying to re-install it, I decided to take the easy way and just do a factory reset and start from scratch. Little did I know what was to meet me. I was given the "Touch to the android to begin" screen like so many others, but it was not meant to be that simple. I would touch the android, and it would light gleefully but it would not reveal to me the next step and sit there motionless. So I proceeded to the next logical step, touching each corner in succession to skip the setup process. But no matter how many times I repeated it, nothing came of it. Next I booted into recovery mode(stock I never bothered to install CWM, another one of my mistakes) and did another factory reset, clear cache, etc. This too did not work. And I thought, there was always installing CWM through ADB where then I can then just flash to a stock ROM I downloaded. But Alas!! USB debugging some how got disabled and it was all fruitless. A little google-fu later I came across a method to flash .kdz using obscure LG utilities. With renewed hope I followed the steps but to no avail. Now I come to you stranger, and plead you in somehow help me in recovering some use of this phone. I have exhausted all my options and I hope someone out there read this and comes in my time of need. Sorry for the long block of text :silly::silly::silly::silly:
Having the same problem as you, bookface.
I couldn't install CWM from the links provided in another post, all lead to a 404 Dropbox page. This sucks. And when I tried to use the installer from Play, I got a dialog saying it's not compatible. Some would say to ignore it, it would be fine...
But if something doesn't feel right, don't do it, I've always been told...
So, I was rooted, but phone started acting funny. Done a factory reset. Since I didn't have CWM, I thought it would clear that mess up.
Nope, almost all apps crash. I'm lucky that at least the browser, Gmail, and music apps work, but everything else, including Google Play Store, all crash upon launch.
Net10's forum is a lame excuse as a "forum." Seems like TracFone employees have NO concept of how a forum works. I looked at there for the same issue, and they rather take software/hardware issues to private messages?
I have NO computer, my hubby's friend who helps him says "You have an Android tablet, that is a computer!" Technically, yes and no. Since I can't root that thing, it's useless. (If you want to know, Polaroid PMID709 4.1 with Rockchip RK29xx, and impossible to root fully, it's "semi-rooted".)
And I'm lost. I and my hubby need this phone to work. Because we need it fpr work (our jobs). And I'm getting sick of TracFone screwing up Android ROMs.
Please help!
youve made much more headway than i. trying to help my neighbor with his. he set a lockscreen password on his lgl34c and then promptly forgot it.
so upon a bit of research, this model is a doozie to work with. i had intended to overdeliver by flashing him a ROM that might allow some hotspotting and the like. upon closer inspection, i dont believe that i will be able to do that. at best a towelroot...
but ONLY IF i can get past this lockscreen. i've tried to factory reset by:
1) removing/replacing battery then holding vol down+power and waiting for LG splashscreen then releasing power (still holding vol down ) and then re-pressing(holding) power again
2) turning phone off and holding home+vol up+power and holding 30-40 sec
ive repeated both methods many many times, and these are the only methods that i have seen described in my google searching. in fact, yours is the most advanced post i have found yet.
how can i factory reset this phone without access to the settings menu?
Hey guys!
First off, i was searching through loads of forums and attempted different solutions. Anything to get it back working. This only made it worse
What happened was as follows:
After having CM 10.1 or some version of it (had the OS at 4.3 i believe), my phone was very slow, so slow in fact that i got so mad at it that i almost bit through it. So one day when i was in a tent at the foot of a mountain all alone (not that long ago) i decided to rollback the phone to its original state from backup i made some months ago before i upgraded the OS. At the same time just before this i backed up the current build just in case. Using ClockWorkMod 3pointsomething.
It went through everything and then asked me: Do you want to root this device? (or something in those lines). I, having no clue, clicked one of the million "no" on the screen.
After this it rebooted with errors saying "Can't detect this drive can't detect that drive". In other words, it couldn't detect niether Internal SD nor External SD. While having the Samsung logo being displayed without booting if i didn't go into "Volume Up, Menu Key and Start your tiny engines!".
I thought i could fix it and looked through tremendous amount of internets in attempt to fix it. Neither Odin nor Heimdall Frontend could detect the device even after installing the drivers and samsung kies and messing about with those two in between.
After a while i ended up with "Phone . . ! in a orange triangle . . PC" aka black screen of death, while the phone can go into download mode. Which in my hand is equally useless as no program can detect it still.
Now i just decided to start a new thread even though there is endless amount of other threads but none seem to cover exactly this as i haven't yet managed to fix it. Plus a response on progress is always pleasant as i personally don't know when i succeed unless phone works fully again.
How bad off am i?
Any input will be greatly appreciated! :victory:
Hoping not to have to spend money on a new one and as far as i've gathered this can be solved - Anybody can give me some tips on where to look or what i could try?

First you are posting in the wrong location as i9000 has its own forum here for Q&A and others too
second click on My Android Solutions (link below) and try methods to fix USB connection problems first after that get into download mode and use a rescue kit from MY Android Collections (link below) or follow this to flash a Gingerbread JVU stock ROM
Check this out! You , YES! you are an " Android ". Not your phone but U.​
TL;DR - Flashed a ROM designed for N3+ (which is supposed to be same phone) but touch screen is unresponsive now. Need help with SP MDT or editing uboot
EDIT 15. July, 2014.: I've asked a guy from www.NeedRom.com to tell me his LCM driver and touchscreen which are located in factory mode (VOL- + HOME + POWER). He gave me same driver names as mine. LCM driver is RX_5720TM_813a and touchscreen is ili2113a.
I've tried removing the digitizer from my phone (lost warranty, but **** it, i'm not sending it back to china) and when i've entered factory mode again, it said touchscreen: (null).
So it seems that digitizer is properly attached (and should be working?).
Does anybody have a clue what's going on here? I've tried flashing 15 ROMs and NONE fixed the touchscreen. It's fully unresponsive. It doesn't work even if I off/on the screen few times like it worked before.

Hello everyone, like title says I have unresponsive touchscreen on my Star N9800 phone. It's pretty much a new phone, octa core, quad core GPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, etc.
What I've done is I flashed the ROM designed for Star N3+ (which is supposed to be same phone) but my touch screen is unresponsive ever since then. I've googled and read some articles on xda about SP MDT. It's a tool which can help us choose the display driver we want the phone to run with. I actually ran into a problem when i downloaded SP MDT. I can select the database etc, but when i get to scatter file it just doesn't want to load it. Either it's incorrect name or file type. I've downloaded 3 original ROMs from needrom.com and strangely the scatters seem to be different. But none is accepted by SP MDT. I need someone of knowledge who can teach me where to find uboot and how to edit it correctly. I'm not a linux/android programmer and I really don't wanna get involved into much programming. I understand basic stuff, i can find files on the system, i can edit build prop correctly, remove or edit boot_logo, boot anim etc, but this is a bit more than that. 2
Please share some knowledge with me and please don't point me to google. There's no solution there, i've googled for 3 days now. The last resort for me is to make a post here (and hopefully don't get ignored for spamming because this isn't spam).
My email is: [email protected] - you can notify me here if I don't get automatically emailed by xda.
Thanks in advance.
BUMP
Have no solution but would like to learn as well if anyone can help us...
I had the same issue but gave up and flashed another rom instead.
Flashing another ROM didn't help my problem. Well partially it did. I've flashed 2014-1-7 original N9800 ROM and the touchscreen only needs 1 or 2 off/ons till it starts working. I'm kinda fine with it because it was completely unusable. Flashing drivers with SP MDT didn't really help. I've tried flashing RX5720TM_828A (from N3+ ROMs) and LP057APK (default in N9800 ROMs) and RX5720TM_813A (2nd in N9800 ROMs), and so far my touchscreen works only with 813A LCM driver. When i turn off the phone and then hold VOL- & POWER & OFF/ON it goes to factory mode. There i clicked version and it showed that 813A is installed as LCM driver, BUT touchscreen says (null). Could it be that my digitizer is no longer connected or what? Cuz it sometimes works correctly without turning the display off/on at all.

Even if i boot into recovery, screen doesn't react to touches.

Apparently it's the calibration which ****ed up my phone. I'm now trying to figure out how to calibrate the screen through CWM.
ever find a solution?
i have a star n9800 too. suddenly i have been having all of the same issues, but here is the kicker: i never flashed anything but the stock rom that came with my phone, which was the same as kitkat version available on needrom.com. i have tried full factory resets, i have restored my original backup, none of it has fixed my phone. in factory mode, everything tests fine, but even when i launch in to TWRP, about 75% of the time, my touch doesn't work. i am wondering if one of the cables inside has come loose or something, but it is so intermittent that i find it doubtful.
hopefully you have found a solution that you can share with me.

Touchscreen - hardware failure
Hi,
I am wondering if you may have experience and be able to help me with my Star N9008 phone which has has had its touch screen stop working while I had it in storage for about 3 months.
Very well stored, no shock, no humidity. I keep it with my laptop backpack as a spare in case my everyday phone fails.
Today I powered it up to make sure battery was good (found it good at 95%) and update applications, etc. Basically, just checking it was still good to serve as a backup should I need it.
Thing is, I found the touch screen is completely unresponsive. Connected a mouse to it and verified all was working good, did up the updates, etc.. using the mouse. Reboot and boot into service mode and restore menu. Also, no touchscreen response (I use TWRP). Thus, it must be hardware failure.
From experience, would you know what would cause this, and how to resolve?
Thank you.
So, its been a while.
So, it's been a while. I still have the phone in storage and pity it doesn't work...
I haven't bothered opening up the phone if I don't know what to really try and also risk damaging it.
Also didn't bother ordering a new digitizer to replace as it's economically unviable.... the phone is now really getting behind as new tech is further evolving, so I do unfortunately see it going in the rubbish soon (along with two brand new batteries I had purchased for it just before it died).
Has anyone been successful at finding the culprit?
In my case, it was fine and very well stored... so I don't really have an explanation other than the phone possibly having a 'countdown timer' to break it... (yeah, a bit too conspiratorial, lol)
I did not find a solution yet , phone still sits in storage
Hi all. 1st post here.
I've been having a lot of trouble with my Galaxy Tab 2 lately. I rooted it a long time ago. Never had trouble with it. A few days ago, after charging it, I tried to start it, but when it starter, after a minute or so, it restarted. Normally the tablet only did that when it was froze due to many apps or processes being used at the same time. The problem is that the tablet never started properly after that one time. It's on some type of infinite loop. It starts, stays on for 1 or 2 minutes and then freezes and restarts. Well, i thought what most people would think at the moment: "I need to reset the tablet". I went to Recovery mod, made the format, but when the tablet rebooted, everything was untouched. No format. Odd to me. I then tried to return to stock. If it after that the problem was still there, at least I could be able to call for warranty. Odin gave me a lot of failed errors when I was trying but there was once that it said "Pass". Rebooted, still the same. Updated the recovery, tried to format, still the same. I'm running out of options right now. I don't really know what can be the problem and how can I fix it. I thought that if there was a way to format it like in recovery but using my PC it would do something (or not)
I appreciate any type of help.
Hi there all!
So my 1+1 is freshlly bought a few months ago and did not make any problems up til now when suddenlly my market apps(such as shazam) suddenly disappeared from my phone. Apart from this when i try to go on the market and download them i get an UNKNOWN ERROR. Adding a little bit more extra to this case is the fact that i tryed to restart it with no success then i have decided to factory reset the phone. Done this and when I start the phone up nothing has changed and my middle digital capacitor is not working.
Any one else had this problem, or maybe someone could advise me on how to fix this issue?
Best regards,
Vuk!
