When its on it shows up on device manager but nt in download mode. I have installed evrythin.. Lg usb driver, lg suport tool. I have the firmware and lg flash tool too.. Plz help.
[General Questions and Answers] markfm:
Maybe a driver compatibility problem?

If you want to use the kdz method, then you should use the precise software and drivers listed in that thread. If you want to flash the tot file, then you use the precise drivers and software for that thread.

Delete any previously installed drivers and software, otherwise you can get the driver from the old software, still on your computer, being incompatible with the new software.

Depending on which tool/drivers you are using, sometimes it matters when you plug the USB in, for instance, see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=57616033

HTH!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Sometimes this can be from using a non-stock usb cord, verify debug is set to on if your device has that option, sometimes trying a different usb port can solve the problem.

mtk6582 lcd driver!

Hello Fellas!

A noob is asking for your help.

I do own a chinese mtk6582 based phone with a updated rom 4.2.2.

But in this current rom the lcd driver is having some problems.

Could you please tell me if is it possible to swap the lcd driver in a rom to a working one? Where is it located in the rom files? system.img? I do have the older version of the rom, in which the lcd driver works perfectly, but the rom is not as stable as the current one.

So is it possible to extact the lcd driver from any rom, and put it into another compatible rom?

I do have ext4 unpacker and ext2explore.

I am looking forward to your answer, and thanks in advance, and sorry if I asked something really stupid ! :D

Hey guys simple question, I'm using the boot animation in which an android is assembled and zaps an Apple logo, but using Rom toolbox, I can't get it to install, it'll preview and everything, but when I click preview current or boot my phone, all I get is a black screen, I can post proof of this as well as provide the file for the boot animation, let me know if you need either. THANKS IN ADVANCE:)
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Have you checked to see that it is the correct file type? If you are rooted and have a file explorer, find where the boot ani is stored in your system and check if the existing ani and the one you are trying to use have the same extension, if they are the same then you can rename the existing boot ani by adding ".bak" to the end of the file name then "push" or move the ani you want to the same folder that the existing ani is in, you'll need to change permissions so you can write it to system.

NOOB ALERT! Bricked galaxy S3 Sprint, have DL Mode

Have countlessly searched XDA and Android Central for info on reviving my S3 (SPH-L710). Have also downloaded numerous items and attempted to use Odin but everything fails. Phone is set in DL Mode but have lost all else (bootloader, auto root, recovery, OS, etc)

Can anyone tell me if there is hope??

...no offense taken by responses, well aware 'how' this happened just looking for any possible answers or direction.

Thank you much!!

I don't really know how to to tell you this, other than to just tell you, but you're hard bricked. Enjoy your new expensive paperweight. :crying:

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
I don't know too much about this but have you tried using an extsd as a "boot disk" since you killed your bootloader? I'm not saying that it will definitely work and if you've tried it already then just ignore that, I just thought I would mention it in case you hadn't tried it, I know an extsd can substitute as a bootloader but I have no idea if it would work in your situation.

I found a forum and video about using a specific type of SD card, so I bought one but haven't tried that yet.

Then found another forum earlier today about flashing in to philz_touch recovery via Odin. I put the phone in DL and Odin went to Reset and Pass and the phone began to boot but stopped and froze where the boot animator would have kicked in. :confused:
[General Questions and Answers] :
Yeah, that is because you lost the OS - the boot animation came with and goes with the OS. :eek:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Well, I know the method I referenced works on many of the different S3 models, it makes the extsd a "boot disk", it has steps later to restore your bootloader and your recovery to get the device straight, once you have everything back on the device where it belongs then there are steps to restore the extsd you used back to a usable storage device.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

When you flashed philz and got a pass, did you have autoreboot unchecked, if you don't let it reboot when its done flashing then you should be able to boot into philz and flash a ROM, if you got a green pass when you flashed then your recovery should work I would think but I'm not sure

Is there any way to to get recent apps like dn4 in my dn3?
[General Questions and Answers] lmitch007:
yep, understood. Was just surprised to see my new paperweight actually do something...offered hope! (even if just briefly)

---------- Post added at 07:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 AM ----------

I'm very intrigued about the method you're speaking of....and when I flashed philz, auto reboot was checked by default and the forum said to leave the defaults. You're saying to 'uncheck' that instead?

Sadly, nothing more happened after the phone acted like it wanted to do more. I know there is no OS...there's nothing, but I'm not quite ready to bedazzle my new paperweight just yet... :fingers-crossed:
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Flash philz but leave auto reboot unchecked, when you get the green pass you can boot straight from there into recovery, once in recovery you should be able to flash a rom and gapps, if you truly did get a pass in odin then by all rights you should be able to get to recovery and flash what you need.

If that still doesn't work, you can find an unbrick.img for your model S3 in the forums or you can ask someone with your device to pull you one, the unbrick file is what is used to boot it from extsd, you can find instructions for this process here on XDA in the S3 forums,you can do a search for "unbrick galaxy S3" or something along those lines and it should pull up threads on how to do it.
[General Questions and Answers] lmitch007:
I did get a pass in Odin, which is what shocked me after everything else failed up to that point. Had found a forum about an img file and after drilling down through that was how I found out about using the SD card.

If I can get recovery back, I'm good to go from there! Thank you!!

GS3 LTE gone after flashing a new rom

I have the Sprint variant of the Galaxy S 3, and I have used several roms on it, which all worked fine with no problems. I currently have the BeanStalk rom installed. After doing a clean install, LTE works (LTE isn't displayed on the signal icon), but only for a day or so. 3G and WiFi still work. Aslo, it doesn't switch to 3G, I have to do it manually.

I have been trying to solve this without posting, but I haven't found any solutions.

There are some people saying need to set the APN, but this is not in BeanStalks settings.

Version of BeanStalk: 4.4.4065-20140921-d2lte

Gapps: Slim_mini-gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-385

I had a different set of Gapps before, but still had the same problem.

I'm not sure what other information to include, but if you need anymore information, ask!

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There are apps that let you edit APNs but it doesn't always work on all devices but its an option

Have you tried using the apns-conf.xml file from stock or one of the ROMs that you didn't have a problem with?

I dont know how Sprint works but If you can't edit the APNs yourself you may can get Sprint customer service to set your APNs over the air.

You didn't include a model number and I don't think this is your problem but I'm going to put it out there anyway, 4G requires a SIM card, I'm going to assume your device has one inserted already since you are on Sprint.

Does reflashing with a clean install get your 4G back but keeps dropping after a while each time you do it? If so then it sounds to me like the cell network is eventually detecting your device and wiping out your APNs for some reason, I'm not too familiar with Sprint or their 4G but I know other users with different devices and ROMs would have this problem a few hours or even a day or so after flashing something new to their device and it would be the cell network pinging them with a different set of APNs, like I said I don't think this is the problem in your case but all possibilities are worth listing.

He could be using one of the unified ROMs, the d2lte ROMs were unified for all carriers, there were problems with this and now they are being separated again, if it is one of the unified ROMs then that may be his problem, try one specifically for Sprint if none of the methods to change APNs works.

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

I had considered telling him the same thing. I felt like the user having the problem was just having issues with his device being recognized, that's why I left it at what I posted. I could be wrong though. I'm no expert but I've had the same problem before so I posted things I did in that situation.

OK I have a question for you. But first let me say my Galaxy is a T Mobile phone. But, it is unlocked and curreny on Cricket wireless. Do ha have to use Roms built for T Mobile phones only? Or can I use others as well?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Generally speaking ROMs tend to be carrier specific, using other ROMs is hit or miss, some work, some don't, but using a ROM from another device can cause a myriad of issues, some can brick you, some can wipe out your IMEI, I suggest you stay with ROMs for your device and if you are determined to take the chance using something else then check with other users of your device and/or carrier and see if anyone has had issues with whatever ROM you want to use and what fixes they may have used to make the ROM work on their device, but your safest bet is use what is made for your device to avoid potential problems.

Despite the 'congrats' on having a new paperweight, I was finally able to revive my phone back to stock and am currently recreating all my settings.

Excited to be back and ready to return to root!!

Thanks for the responses!!

NOTES:

no recovery, no OS, and phone only turned on to DL Mode (Home/Power/Volume Down) or Firmware error (Home/Power/Volume Up)

searched this file name in google as original link from XDA no longer existed: L710VPUCND8_L710SPRCND8_L710VPUCND8_HOME.tar.md5

(other option offered was: KIES_HOME_L710VPBMD4_L710SPRBMD4_1130792_REV03_user_low_ship.tar.md5)

..however, the other option did not work for my phone

MY PHONE AND STEPS TAKEN:

US Samsung Galaxy S3 - Sprint (SPH-L710)

- downloaded Odin v3.07

- downloaded ND8 file link listed above from Android File Host

- removed battery from phone, then powered up and put in DL Mode

- attached file as PDA in Odin, leaving Auto Reboot and Reset Time checked

- ...then waited...

- Odin gave Reset, phone rebooted, then Odin Passed and I disconnected phone

Just proves persistence can pay off!! Thank you to everyone!!

But first I have to tell you how I got my previous phone. In 2011 I signed up with Best Buy to receive a text when I was due for an upgrade and they would give me $50 towards the new phone. I decided to go with the Nitro HD becuade it was on sale for $50. So I basically got it for free. At that time I signed up for Best Buy buyback program which was free if you get insurance. So when I went to get the One, they gave me $195 for the Nitro. But I signed up for the $100 dollar gift card through HTC, well previous to the Nitro I was using an LG Fathom and that is the phone that I used to qualify for the gift card. The End.

I bought the phone through rogers at a store called Tbooth in Canada. Tbooth had a promo if you buy HTC one with 3 year contract you get some nice Monster headphones for free. With Rogers you also get a free Kindle tablet so I sold them both together for 500$$ and payed off the contract with it. I gave in my old iPhone 3gs for the 100$ credit so the HTC One only cost me $50. This is why buying phones at launch is the best.
