[LG Optimus Black] ziiljuks:
Bricked my phone after trying out CM7 and then flashing Stock ROM via KDZ_FW_UPD without wiping all data.

Found a way how to fix my problem. This should work for almost all bricked phones.

Remember, this will wipe ALL DATA from your phone. I'm not responsible if something happens with your P970. Do at your own risk.

You will need:

Drivers for P970;

KDZ_FW_UPD_EN

UpTestEX_mod2_marwin

WindowsEnablerv1.1

Download

Start from here if it's first time (no drivers installed, etc):

1) Install all drivers (from Drivers folder);

2) Disable LGE Virtual Modem (Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager);

Start from here if drivers already installed:

3) Run msxml.msi (in KDZ_FW_UPD folder);

4) Delete mfc42.dll (from KDZ_FW_UPD folder);

5) Run WindowsEnabler.exe and set it to ON;

6) Run UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe;

7) Set your phone to S/W Upgrade mode (take out battery, while pressing Volume Up, plug USB cable).

1) Select KDZ file (download from here);

2) Click "CSE web upgrade test", then "Upgrade Start".

Chose your language and wait till phone reboots. It will take some time and could look like nothing is going on. If you see something similar to this (on your phone) for a moment, everything went OK.

maaaaaaaaaaaaan em trying it right now.....let u know as soon as i see some results

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:07 PM ----------

"YES" it really works!!!

Thanks a billion times man! You saved my life :D

(for everyone else who is trying to follow this TUT...when i was updating it was stuck at 4% and showed a lot of errors in the log below...but i guess that didnt matter and now it works...that screen at the end is really must...and i had to force close the update tool after my phone was working)
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
I think this is solution for ALL BRICKED P970s that can enter into S/W Upgrade mode!!!

Very important is that this method do HARD RESET after flashing firmware so it could UNBRICK ALL of our phones.

:)

Can anyone with bricked phone (not CM7 brick) can test it?
[LG Optimus Black] ziiljuks:
I a little bit edited tutorial and, yeah, it could help for all bricked phones. We just need someone who could test it out.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I linked it at RC's G+ and RootzWiki, in response to those bricking their OB's in regards with CM7. Hope they could give us feedbacks.
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
cool, finally a method that can do "hard reset" without a running system or a recovery installed !!

LG would have implement the hard reset in his Recovery in the B2CAppSetup ! it would avoid lots of send back to LG customer service !!

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
No, LG would have implement the recovery key combination... It would be remedy for almost all P970 bricks...

Does anybody knows another phone with Android without hardware key combination for recovery?

Is it even possible that hardware key combination (changing bootloader) will be possible to add-on by official LG firmware update? Maybe they should do this with official 2.3 upgrade, but it is probably only dream...

PS. I forgot to thanx, ziiljuks, you're the man! :)
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
yes, recovery combination key would be better ^^

ps: I think x8 doesn't have it either
[LG Optimus Black] murrun:
quote from rootzwiki: "adb.exe reboot recovery saved my life!!!!"

i guess we can boot into recovery with this command. i didn't know that adb environment can run with bootloop or volume up screen... can anybody confirm this?
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
No, it can't. You need to boot to OS and have enabled Debugging to get ADB working.

I was trying it many times when I bricked my phone. Look HERE.
[LG Optimus Black] sonic997:
It seems very good work! But i just bought my phone, i have not fllash my rom yet, since i am afraid that flashing will damage my warranty forever. Could shut body tell

Me whether there is ANY means to recover the warranty........
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
yes, by reflasing stock rom !
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
CSE means CS_EMERGENCY

I think this does the same if you select the CS_EMERGENCY mode on KDZU.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Nope. Tried that when I bricked my phone couple of weeks ago.

EDIT:

Tested it 5 mins. ago with CS_EMERGENCY in KDZU, and no. No hard resetting.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
hmm I should test this tool again. I previously gave up that because it has never worked, until I know those kdz files must keep their name :D
[LG Optimus Black] elBartoFlores:
i dont get the "CSE web upgrade test" button in the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin window.

any ideas?

tried normal upgrade but dosnt make the factory reset and keep geting boot loop.

yes another victim of CM/ > Stock

ok found it. in the type has to be in CDMA not 3GQCT
[LG Optimus Black] glenn_gm:
Hello,man.

There's some problems in using this method.

A guy does the upgrade,and the phone is stuck at 4% too. But unlike the situation u've met, there's not even a error in the log. Then , he has to switch off the USB(means disconnect the phone and the PC. sorry, my English is... - -#). I wanna know how much time does the upgrading process takes. Thanks.

Meanwhile ,there's another guy. He did the same thing .And the phone reboots finally. But what confuses me is that he didn't get the picture on the screen. Could you explain , thanks in my heart!

And thanks ziiljuks very much!
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
maybe a corrupted kdz file, try to re-download another.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Download THIS package. It has all the files in one folder. Unpack it to C:\ You should get C:\P970_unbrick\*files here*

Install msxml.msi, then run Windows Enabler.exe and click on its icon in the taskbar. Icon will change and will show "ON". Then run UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe and do the rest of the job.
[LG Optimus Black] wiqi546:
When i followed this tut my update process was stuck at 4% and actually it "didn't" flash the stock rom...(although it was already flash before my the KDZU tool) this tool simply after giving alot of errors in the log file did a hard reset (that last screen---which actually does the magic by formatting the data partition). After that screen my phone restarted and BINGO i was at the setup wizard! then i closed the tool bcz it was stuck but my phone was working :D

I know that when I put my VH updated Optimus S back to VD, I used the KP500 diag util...

I looked all over, and is the stuff in here (the ROMs, Kernels, etc) considered to be for the Optimus S,T,V etc line?

I'm running an Xionia Recovery, so I'd like to try some different ROMs, but I dont see a forum for Optimus LS670 (or Optimus S, T, V etc).

So can I use any ROM from this area on my Optimus S (sprint)??

Made a transition from N1 to GS2 and not sure I actually liked the phone. 4 days now and trying very hard to keep it. The dev forum is huge here with 2 different sections and struggling with some of the tweaks and mods.

1)the volume on phone earpiece during call is very low. Even jacking vol all the way upto 100%, I sometimes struggle to hear other person properly. Also to add is the voice of call sounds very "distant". Anyone experiencing this?

2) is there an option to turn off "auto rotate" for dialer?

3) any settings for selection of notification widget?

4) how to change lockscreen to default android one?

much appreciated replies. Cheers.

[Galaxy S II General] shatterproof:
Yes, I miss stickied dev list of updates of all the ROMs that can be seen in other device forums. Guess it will eventually pick up when the device matures.

2) 3) No, you will have to switch to a custom ROM as far as I know

4) You might have luck with the WidgetLocker lockscreen app.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EFW:
Hi folks,

I have just flashed the latest version of SuperNova 2.1. Everything seemed to install ok, but unable to install data2sd.

Following the install manual on the droidzone.in website, and got as far as rebooting into recovery to install data2sd after the first reboot.

I don't seem to have the data2sd installer on the SD.

Have I messed up or do I need to d/load the data2sd installer.

Thanks

ewf
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Catflavor:
I also had this problem today. It turns out I'd missed the download link for the data2SD script. I can't post a link here (not made enough posts yet), but if you go to the "download links" page on Droidzone's site and scroll down past the current/stable versions and older/stable versions you'll find the script link there.

Had me scratching my head for a little while, but it didn't affect the install that I rebooted a few times before figuring it out. I just made sure I didn't configure anything or install anything until I'd worked out what was going on.

Hope that helps someone!

The previous Swype Beta expired on me this morning. Fortunately, I had already registered for the previous Swype Beta. I uninstalled Swype and the Swype Installer, reinstalled per the instructions on the Swype Beta site and everything seems to be working great.

They removed an annoying feature that was added the last time. Previously, if you tapped on a word that had been entered, the text cursor would jump to the end of the word. It was very annoying. It no longer does that.

Also, in the Swype settings you can edit your user dictionary. It will give you a list of all the words in your personal dictionary, and you can delete or add more words. Nice!!! However, they don't let you edit the system dictionary. I would really like to remove "st" from their dictionary. If I'm swyping fast, I usually get "st" instead of "at".

[Captivate Themes and Apps] dizx:
Use Root Explorer or similar to manually remove all references to Swype from the /system folder and subfolders. Don't forget the libSwypeCore.so file, too.

I haven't tried it just yet, but I'll give those above suggestions a go later today.

EDIT: It worked, just don't forget to REBOOT after deleting and then use the Swype Installer.

i just used root explorer and removed the apk, then re installed using the installer and it didnt work.. until i did a restart. then i was able to re install it successfully.:D

i rooted my wildfire a few weeks ago, wanted to install cm7 with ROM-manager.

When it was done, the cm start up skaterboarder came, but after that it started over and over. So after the eight time i booted it in recovery and used the backup.

When i pressed a backup, it said md5 mismatch. But 1 backup worked.

When the backup was done, the htc boots and i saw the htc boot logo. But nothing happens after that. I know there are some other topics about it, but they didnt work for me.

I did factory reset, tried to install the original rom, but nothing worked.

I found a topic with a programm i had to download from shipped-roms.com but i can't connect to the site.

I can still come in recovery, but thats it.

Someone knows how to fix this? I really want my phone back.

Have you installed Samsung Kies? I'm not sure if it's needed just to use the storage on the phone, but if you're trying to use Odin it installs the drivers required for that.

Hi! This launcher replaces the original one, and is also named the same, so you can not restore it to previous version.But maybe you could just replace it with an old version from somewhere?

This is because it is also an original Samsung launcher....that's why it is good to have another launcher installed (like adw launcher)in case that something went wrong, you can still operate with your phone and correct the instalation.
