P880 bricked after installing LG-Optimus-4XHD-Recovery-v1.2.apk

Hello.

Today I unlock Bootloader (when i go to S/W Upgrade i see Bootloader state: Unlocked) and after that I install LG-Optimus-4XHD-Recovery-v1.2.apk.

Accidentially i restart my phone to backup mode (power + "+") and after that my phone can't start. It looped on the LG logo.

I tried to Flash system with UpTestEX.exe but it always stops at 48%, LOG below:

My phone had a stock system 4.1.2 installed via LG PC Suite program + installed Root.

Today i successfully unlock Bootloader by "adb reboot oem-unlock". I test it in phone hidden menu and it was unlocked.

I made one mistake - I install LG-Optimus-4XHD-Recovery-v1.2.apk - after that APK my phone stuck at LG logo (i tried to install CWM).

Please help me and write what I can do to unbrick my phone.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] peppethustra:
Just go to page 1, 3rd post of this thread, and follow the instructions.. You can find an updated version of v20a or v20b kdz fw googling a bit on the net

Hi

I tried to flash my soft through the LG Mobile Support Tool but when it was going to an end, my dog accidentely ripped the USB cable from the telephone. Tried to reconnect it as fast as I can, but i failed. Now when I turn my phone on it freezes immediately on S/W Upgrade screen and I can't preceed anything. Using flash tool doesn't help. The log is like: device not connected. Computer also doesn't "see" phone. Any ideas what can I do to bring the phone alive?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tabator:
Try to do hard reset, press and hold vol - and power until you got the "android recovery figure" and wait until they reboot again...then try again to update firmware through flashing the kdz files.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] peciak10:
I can't do that thing. I think that my whole android is out. When I turn LG on it just freezes at S/W Upgrade like for solid. Later I can't even turn it off, only battery removal helps. Computer doesn't see it, there must by some way to flash android from kdz. But I don't know how and I'm scared to give it to service (possible guarantee lost - and I need to replace power button, cause it doesn't work properly)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tomkasz:
Have the same problem. It's stuck at the "S/W Update". I can do nothing at all - only removing battery and whatever I do it's going into S/W Update. Long pressing Vol- + Power turns it off and instantly on to S/W mode again. Any ideas?

I just want to show you guys few pics with my new hardcase Quicksnad from Rock. I bought this on Ebay for 10 pounds. It's high quality, scratch resistant, giving you a very good grip, protecting your lens and back of SGS3. I did check few of hard cases, but this one is defo the best for me.

Thanks, I was convinced that the sgs3 didn't need a case but after seeing this, it doesn't look half bad. I might just get one.

I bought one too, and I really like the feel. However it does not fit my phone, one corner appears to be too short to go over the phone at that point and slips out. Poor QC

I've bought it too. Hope it will fit in a yomix pouch: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0076I5JS2

Nope, it doesn't fit in the Yomix. But the ROCK Quicksand fits perfekt on my S3 so I don't a Yomix. :D

Hello, i have a short question

Last night I was trying to copy my holiday pictures from my Galaxy S3 to my computer when it gave an error. After reconnection there seemes to be data corruption on the micro sd (external memory) and the partition does not show up. Windows asks me to repartition the drive.

All the other data I don't really care about, but I want to recover the holiday pictures. I downloaded the software photorec but it asks me what partition the micro sd was partioned in to properly recover it.

I googled a bit but I couldn't find an answer, does anyone of you know what the standard partion is? Fat or Ext?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Depends upon what you formatted as or who ever fitted the card ..

At a guess FAT 32 .

There might already be an answer for my question, but unfortunately i could not find anything...

i made a biiiig mistake some minutes ago. i wanted to install a new rom on my phone, so i did a factory reset and wanted to format /system. unfortunately i chose to format /sdcard instead! i recognized it, when cwm wrote "formatting /sdcard", not a second before, when i had to confirm my choice. :(((

i did not make a backup of internal storeage before, so all my data (including the photos from my kids!!!) got lost. i immediately pulled out the battery, to maybe have a chance to get my data back. if needed, i could still boot into android, because i did not wipe /system like i wanted to...

is there a way to get my data back (at least the photos)??? PLEASE HELP!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
If you have root, try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.undelete&hl=en

Edit: cancel that. Only FAT is supported.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
no there is not.

all data recovery options require the partition to be mounted. since there is no sdcard, you cannot mount it.

I tried to flash SlimICS yesterday and it failed when it tried to flash the kernel, so I got stuck with LE5's cache, factoryfs and system images. I manage to restore the factoryfs and system images using CWM, but the cache repair failed when I tried it.

Does anyone have a cache.img file I can flash with Heimdall? Please don't give any one-click or Odin3 anything, I do not have Windows.

Any help, or alternative fixes, would be much appreciated.

Hello fellow xda members,

can someone help me to create a flashable .zip file for PA with the attached pictures of my own Softkey creation?

I tried myself, replaced the images in another flashable file for PA, tried zipThemer but nothing worked... :crying:

I think there could be other members who like those softkeys, they would appreciate it as much as me. If you're a themer and want to implement the softkeys in your theme, feel free to do so!

Attached is an overview and the individual pics, you do not see the individual pics since they have a transparent backgroung, but they are there ;)

Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flx-grafix:
So we're already three people :D

No one willing and able to help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liquid150:
cut that out into individual .png's and i will do it for you. not sure if they will be cross compatible with later ROM updates though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flx-grafix:
Thank you, highly appreciated. Attached is a zip with the individual .png's.

If I have a working file, maybe I can figure it out how to update for future versions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ecs1984:
it's actually quite simple to do yourself for future versions and requires nothing more than 7-zip. you are just modifying the images in SystemUI.apk, and 7-zip won't affect the signatures.

1. open (open, not extract) the ROM zip with 7-zip, and browse to "system/app/SystemUI.apk/res/drawable-xhdpi".

2. drag your images into "drawable-xhdpi" folder in 7-zip, it will overwrite the existing softkeys. you will see a prompt asking if you want to replace those files, say yes.

3. close 7-zip, you will be asked if you want to update the archive, say yes.

4. follow standard flashing procedure with the modded ROM zip.

i am not familiar with vrtheme or zipthemer, so i only know the "old-fashioned" way of modding your SystemUI.apk, so if you upload that, i could help also. liquid150 has already nicely offered to help, hopefully more knowledgeable about that sort of thing :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flx-grafix:
Thanks, for the guide. I was trying it that way, but with another program than 7zip. Unfortunately I'm on a Mac and there is only an unofficial 7zip version. Will try that out.

But how do you open the SystemUI.apk inside the archive?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ecs1984:
ahh i didn't know about there not being an official Mac version.. well, assuming the unofficial version functions the same way, when you open the archive, you can click into the .apk files as if they were folders. so as you are clicking down into the folders, just double-click the SystemUI.apk and it opens into the apk folder structure.

or you could always just extract the SystemUI.apk from the ROM and do the 7-zip modifications directly in the apk file. then make your own little flashable zip with just that apk to put it back onto your phone.

Working on a ZipThemer zip where this will be Universal for ya ;) give me a few.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flx-grafix:
That sounds awesome, ÜBER!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Okay so i need somebody to test.. this is the first time i've done it for the softkeys... but everything should be fine. :) let me know how it works.

FLX-Softkeys.zip

Its a ZipThemer zip so you need to use Zip Themer to make the flashable if you dont know how visit my Theme Thread and in post #7 there is a tutorial it is linked at the end of the OP. Enjoy ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flx-grafix:
Ok, I'll give it a try now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
It work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flx-grafix:
Will tell you inna few, just made a fresh clean install of the newest PA version and gonna try it now.

EDIT: Works like a charm. Thanks very much!

EDIT2: It only works in the PhoneUI mode in PA. This is weird, but I think it has something to do with how PA works...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Yes its.. its because PA uses MDPI when in tablet mode not XHDPI which is where the softkeys get put.

Edit:

Okay fixed it for MDPI and HDPI go ahead and download it again from the previous link. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flx-grafix:
Thanks for your efforts, but it still only works in PhoneUI. ZipThemer tells me that 15 entries are updated...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Weird.. :S anyways you forgot the landscape softkeys.. which i am making my self.. as well as modding the little menu for my personal use. This is what it looks like. Im using the original menu key you had as the menu_big.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flx-grafix:
Looks very nice.

I created those keys a while back and used them in an AOKP version in which you could change the softkey pics in the ROM's settings. I never used anything in landscape mode, this is why I left it out.

PA moves the navbar to the bottom of the screen when switching into landscape, so I thought I don't need it since I always used PA in TabletUI.

But thanks for your efforts and making the png's for landscape mode :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
No problem ill let you know when its finished and ill reupload the new keys. If you dont mind i would like to post them up in the Nexus 7 forums :).

I have AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note. I am not a NEWB too rooting phones, my first one was T-Mobile Goolge phone. My issue is I installed this rom like 5 times Followed the directions to the T. I get forced reboots at least 5 times a day, even when im not using the phone ill go to turn it on and i have to force boot it by holding the power button. I have 4.1.1 os on it, 3.0.42 hotcakes kernel installed. It has a 32 gig external sd card in it. Everything else is beyond amazing on the rom, but these reboots I cannot seem to get to stop. Is there a actual fix for them or is it something that has no fix. I have followed the install to the T.I appreciate any help, and again I saw in Collective forum other users had this issue when making calls, but mine is anytime all the time. ty again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
This made me double facepalm in public. Seriously I'm going to start a dev forum with a multiple choice during registration of the most basic problem solving skills and you can't finish registration unless you pass.

You may not like what I have to say but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Korvan30:
I'm sorry did I say something out of the ordinary. I read the rom developers instructions. I have read the forum and see no solution and others posting similar issues. Yet instead of being helpful you respond with attkn my lack of knowledge on the solution to this issue lol. Thanks yall can delete this thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
There are at least the threads dealing with this topic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
I believe your answers lie in the first post of the ROM/Devs thread. First off you are using an older version. Change log for newer version. The last line in the log may be important for your issues.

More from the first post:

Also searching for "reboot" in that thread brings up much recent activity. If there are no answers there then I suggest you try another ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Agoattamer:
First link does not exist, second deals with bootlooping. Sounds like you are answering a physics question with an algebraic answer. :silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
That link works for me.. Anyway your post is undoubtedly better and more valid than mine. I'll delete it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Korvan30:
Yea first link dont work and second one I dont boot loop. My phone can go a day now and then with out rebooting and it doesnt seem to happen really when im on a call. I will see if the update helps thanks alot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpoirier587:
That a why he's more right by quoting the very first post of your ROM. I was mistaken about my posts relevance but his is still spot on and the overall point remains
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Korvan30:
Yea welllllllll lol

So I took the advice went to flash 3.1 collective on my phone to see if it fixes the issue. Followed same procedure but I bricked my phone. I went to main page for note developement found link to take my phone back to original stock. Successfully did that, but now every time i get CW& installed and delete everything.

1. Factory Data reset

2. Wipe Dalvik

3. Format System

4. Install Zip from Sdcard

5. Flash Gapps

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] johnrippa:
You didn't update cwm I'm betting
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Korvan30:
I downloaded the latest CWM from here i have it on my desktop. I have the latest touch version. But like i said it tells me the rom flashed successfully, i see the cool lil pick then says done. then I go grab Gapps and says successful reboot phone like normal and bam still att stock lol

when going stock in odin when flashing it says cant open serial port

<ID:1/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:1/004> system.img.ext4

<ID:1/004> NAND Write Start!!

<ID:0/003> Can't open the serial(COM) port.

Are you serious? Listen I'm not responsible for you bricking your phone, I'm just the bearer of bad news. If you make a mistake and ruin your phone you deal with the consequences. Just be happy that some very smart people found out how and freely give the information on how to do it.

The software is free, you just need to have the right adapter to attach your phone to pc, you need to solder the wires to your motherboard and run a program on the pc to force the firmware and software back on your phone. I doubt anyone will do this for free so your options are to learn to do it yourself or search for someone who will do it for money.

Again, good luck

Cant flash any JB rom always says " installation aborted " install ICS rom works fine though

HELP?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
That's weird.

Are you s-off or s-on?

Have you tried multiple ROMS? (Bruce'ss CM10, AOKP, that new minimalist CM10?)

If you've just tried one, start by redownloading the ROM. You will get the instalation aborted error if the ROM.zip is bad.

Also, did you do a full wipe (Not superwipe) from 4EXT? You will need to if going from ICS to JB. But that shouldn't prevent the ROM from installing (it just won't work properly).
[HTC Sensation] ryanraven:
S-OFF, FUL wipe coming from ISC re-downloaded rom like 6 times and iv'e tried them all they wont install yet ICS rom's will
