[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeal:
Hi.

I have tried to upgrade my N8010 (PDA: N8010XXALGC CSC: N8010OXXALG4 Version: 4.0.4) to the JB firmware (GT-N8010 - GermanyPDA: N8010XXBLK9 CSC: N8010OXABLK9 Version: 4.1.1).

I have done everything form this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2080366, but Odin stopped with a "Xmit write fail" messsage. I got a "please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" but Kies didn't recognize my tablet anymore. And don't boot either.

I have already tried a factory reset with the power on + volume up buttons but nothing happend.

Odin3 3.07 recognize my tablet, and I am downloading the original firmware form SamMobile (N8010XXALGC_N8010OXXALG4_XEH.zip).

I'm going to try recover the original one.

Do you have any other idea ?? Or I have to buy another one Note.

THX.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeal:
Finally I've managed to get back to life my Note.

I've killed Kies in the task manager.

I've checked 'Phone bootloader update' checkbox in Odin.

and everything went fine.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudu7559:
You were lucky, definitely. When Odin sticks, it's seriously difficult to get back on track and resume the process.

Congrats :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4329Jomel:
I just upgraded to the same version you mentioned using mobile odin and it worked well. Only problem I ran in to was that my existing pictures and videos do not show up on my gallery any more. Still hunting for a fix? Any new media goes where it's suppose to go. Other wise awesome upgrade.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samir_a:
Well I did mention you need be exit kies, but even if kies is running this shouldnt happen anyways you are back now so good luck

The gallery is in the same location I have updated few times myself the gallery does not go

Does radio affect GPS, PRI, PRL? I can't get a lock for anything. I've flashed a Sense ROM and tried to get a lock that way. Downloaded GPS status app. Nothing. Getting pretty frustrated. What am I missing here?? I'm running the latest JellyBAM ROM. Android Version 4.1.2 1.12.11.1119 PRL 25010 Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] schmeggy929:
As fas as I know the EVO 4G LTE and many others like it have two types of GPS. One is true GPS and the other is through triangulation from the Sprint Towers.(Network). They are two different radios. make sure GPS is turned on of course first. Settings/location/ all the options are there. Click on Location Settings and make sure that one is checked(on) as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rdub4nd:
Thanks for the reply. I checked a double checked. Any other input would be appreciated. Some of the Devs must know what affect the GPS. I've go to figure out something of flash back to stock and return it. Its almost like something I've done has broke the GPS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Try a sense rom again. Jelly bam is aosp.

Super jelly should work fine.

Hello everyone.

I messed up my external antenna port on my Galaxy S2. The device works 100 percent except there is no antenna. I am looking to buy a new mainboard for it. However, i cannot find a place that sells them for a REASONABLE price. People on ebay are asking 150+ for JUST the main board. Thats absurd. For 50 more bucks you could get a fully operational one from CL.

I did however find an entire phone with a cracked LCD for 80 bucks but was stupid and didnt "buy it now" but does anyone either have a broken one or know of where to get parts for it?

Thanks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Damn. I hate you. lol. I just bought an entire device with a cracked LCD but when i swapped the main boards out, and booted. The IMEI is "Unknown" and now im in the process of figuring out how to restore it or getting a full refund as there was no mention of bad IMEI or USB port..

So I'm using LGNPST to get my friends phone back to stock using all files provided via IRC.

Disaster (I hope not)

Hi ... please help my phone is drowning and needs some CPR badly.

I tried to install lifeless on Sprint LS 970 using TWRP ... all went well,or so TWRP reported, until I tried to reboot and got the dread gray screen that won't ever turn completely off ...

I've repeatedly (like over and over) tried everything in this post to try and get into recovery or fast boot but nothing worked ... it will go into download mode and it will turn off and not immediately turn back on if I hold the power and vol down button for a minute or so, but when I try the next step and plug in the ac charger I get an immediate single flash of the LG loader and the gray screen.

So what should I do now or next or whatever to try and salvage the thing. Computer wise I am running Win 7 64, is there anything I can do from there via download mode?

Also, there's a pinhole on the top (G side of the LG logo) of the phone which looks suspiciously like like it should be a reset button, but pusing it with a dental pick has gotten me nowhere ... but maybe I'm missing something there as well.

Or would it help to remove the two torx screws, open the case, and pull the battery for a minute or two. (Must remind myself to never ever buy another phone with a locked down battery ... talk about the ultimate in dumb design ... especially when the thing starts refusing to accept a charge long before the user is due for a two-year upgrade.) The problem is it's wonderful phone except for that bit of idiocy.

Anyway, I would appreciate it more than I can say, and even donate something to the development kitty, if someone could help me reanimate this phone.

Thanks
[Sprint LG Optimus G] AdriVelazquez:
I'll private message you instructions to LGNPST. Did you try LGNPST?

During the LGNPST process in OP, when I plug in my phone and set it to download mode, it crashes my PC ???? I am on Windows8 64 bit

any ideas ... also in LGNPST program I cannot click on Select DLL, my clicks dont register???

[Sprint LG Optimus G] mrjasenr:
I am having trouble too. When I click install.bat it doesn't install anything. It says file path could not be found. I have done it twice

to no avail. I am already logged in as admin. Home computer running 64bit win 7. Also in lgnpst I can select a dll file but it is a

componant 5 .dll not anything near what it should be.

O.k. N.M. The problem with my computer is I can't extract in my download folder, I need to move the file to my desktop and work from there.

We will see how the rest goes now. Well it didnt help, it errors out in like 2 seconds. Looks like i will have to wait for a rom.

when the phone is off press the vol down+ home button+ power button at the same time til the captive lights flash once and let go. you will be in stock recovery, go to wipe data then factory reset i believe. you should boot up now.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kryptonite16:
ok so i was on lifeless v11, when v12 came out i tried to flash it, once the second zip came out and it was flashable, i followed the steps, flash radio, wipe everything then flash v12. i did that, i reboot it. the lg screen would come up then it would hang on a black screen. i wiped everything again and flashed back to v11 but everything is broken. everything is super laggy wifi doesn't work and neither does my service. i tried to flash stock zv9 but it also hangs in a black screen. so anything i flash that isn't lifelessv11 doesnt boot up. any ideas what i can do?:(

Thanks for all of it, but this in particular. I stumbled across it accidentally yesterday trying to fix a problem. Not sure how I was able to get into recovery until I read this. I was trying all kinds of combinations and eventually stumbled on it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] TJ1401:
5. Select LGNPST_LS970.dll for the DLL file and then for the .bin file, use the bin file that you renamed from tot to bin.

I can only find LGNPST_Utilty2.dll is that the same file as LGNPST_LS970.dll or has i forgot something ?:confused:
[Sprint LG Optimus G] mrchichow:
this whole process was a hassle. i had to run windows xp in VMware because it just would work on my windows 8 64bit trying to do the LGNPST. only LGNPST_Utilty2.dl would show up. i spent hours looking things up only to realize it was so easy in windows xp.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] simpkill:
I'm not sure if you've already figured this out, but when I LGNPST''d back in Jan. I had to register the ls970.dll with the REGSVR32 command in cmd before it would show up in the program. If you need more help let me know, i'm not super cmd prompt savy but I can figure it out.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] phreak777:
This is really helpful! I soft-bricked the other night after sitting in recovery too long I guess. Think it totally garbled my partition tables. Anyways, probably most easy resolution is LGNPST. It's what I would up having to do. Thanks for all the information!

Soft bricked my ls970 LGNPST wont see phone

:silly:Dumb Ass alert... I used gaio to root and unlock boot loader on my ls970, Rebooted my phone and it went into fastboot mode then into cwm recovery. I have never used cwm so i fastboot flash recovery twrp. Now i cannot figure out how to get ROM back on my phone. I wiped every thing because i was getting password error in twrp. Only way i could get system access was to wipe system, everything in the wipe category. lgnpst will not see my phone. Only thing i can do adb and fastboot. I tried adb sideload but keep getting md5 verification failed. I have been trying everything i can think of for about a week and cant get a ROM installed. I have another phone and insurance but i would rather take the time to figure this out. Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks

[Sprint LG Optimus G] mobius1484:
Well, I just got a replacement phone and rooted and unlocked on ZVB. It said it installed CWM, so I figured I would update to TWRP before rebooting into recovery and flashing. I have been unable to get into the recovery, nor the bootloader, and the phone won't boot, it gets stuck on the LG logo. Idk what happened. The script said everything went fine. I can get into download mode. I'm guessing I'll have to use LGNPST to restore it? Any advice guys?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] hugeproblem:
I'm using LGNPST to recover a phone that shut off during a backup within recovery mode. The phone would not boot but would go to the fast boot screen, and USB recover. It also flashes the red led and soft key lights alternating when plugged into a wall charger. When running LGNPST the install process freezes at 67% and then after some time will skip to 85% and will error like troubleshooted in the first post (I also let the phone plugged into the charger for about an hour). However I followed the steps and I'm still getting this error. Is my error different or am I missing something.

After trying numerous times to boot into recovery mode VIA Volume Up + Power I am now stuck on the black screen with the LG logo permanently.

My optimus g ls970 is stuck on the LG boot screen. It will never move off of it. I thought I could use a .kdz file to restore it but i can't seem to find the right .kdz file and application.

Is there an official fix for this or a thread for this?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] ChambazNY13:
I'm definately a noob like the video says

So my LG Optimus G (LS970 on Sprint) is just not doing anything other than getting me to the basics. I can read Download (but my pc doesn't recognize it) I can get to CWM Recovery v6.0.1.5 (But it can't mount the the sdcard update.zip) and I can Fastboot (but I have no clue what to do with that) plainly put I think I bricked it since I cannot restore. I want to say I have tried everything but as the video says, "its out there somewhere"

In reference to this guide, I am having trouble understanding what you mean by:

On PC or Mac

1. Download the Android SDK HERE or Download Files Located below. (got them)

2. Place files on Desktop. in a different folder I call development but I would imagine the path is all that matters)

3. Enter Terminal or Console (????)

4. Go to your desktop by entering (????)

cd /Users/<username>/Desktop

The <username> is your unique information.

On Phone

1. Do step 1 -5 above.

2. On TWRP go to advanced and place your phone in ADB mode. (I have CWM)

3. Wait for the terminal screen to come on.

I apologize in advance but I have been working on rooting the phone all night, I finally got it rooted and BOOM! (SMFH)

Forgive me if this is the inappropriate discussion for this topic. I've been a member since my Epic 4g but did my first root with my new LGOG.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
This is the Sprint version and I think yours is the international version. So you might want to head over there for better help.

If you still have TWRP, you can try and do a factory reset, then install a Stock Rom from their forum. That might work.

But if you need to use the .kdz files you'll need to ask over there. Or on the irc.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1984622
[Sprint LG Optimus G] luke04232012:
I completely wiped out my OS. So no OS installed. Whatever factory setting you do, won't work. But thanks for your reply sire.

I went to that irc and people were not taking it seriously. I think I will just fine ways to solve this.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
I understand no OS, but you said you could still get into TWRP. So in TWRP do a Factory reset. Then follow Adri's instruction to adb sideload a Stock ROM. I'm sure you guys have a stock odexed or deodexed ROM.

If that doesn't work, then you'll need to use the kdz files. To fix it.

Gimme a minute and I'll send the link to instructions for kdz.

EDIT. Heres the link for using .kdz http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010624
[Sprint LG Optimus G] luke04232012:
I already done that yesterday. It just reboot my phone to fastboot, And then error. Nothing happened.

Also, while doing the factory reset on TWRP, it says...

E: Unable to mount storage

I'm pretty sure the/system is, as you said, no ROM installed. I don't know about the storage part.

You already did the kdz thing? Or the installed a STOCK ROM?
