[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoFalto:
Hello, I ran into a problematic brick on my L5...nothing seems to work to unbrick it.

I followed the guides step by step using the KDZ updater and the appropriate firmware for my country, but it doesn't work.

How I bricked it:

I had CM10 installed and perfectly running for a month, so today I decided to attempt an overclock to speed the device up a bit.

So, I downloaded and installed the modded kernel, flashed it using CWM and rebooted the device. After that, the device just keep booting up, showing the LG logo and then a black screen.

Now, after trying to flash the old firmware after going into download mode it just stops on the LG logo with the flare (sun ray effect) spinning around the logo all the time...It's been like that for almost 30 minutes now. I attempted re-flashing it 3 times but nothing seems to work.

What do I do?

Thank you in advance.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjabol61:
It's bootloop. When I had L5 I had the same problem after flashing bricked phone via KDZ.

Do hard reset with key combination. It worked for me. Phone will boot up few minutes.

KDZ the phone connects and then I get a message afterwards PHONE NOT FOUND.

everytime I install the drivers by LG support tool, it keeps giving me the option to install the driver, like I havent done it a hundred times over.

I think there should be a driver somewhere that can be installed but the only people that have this driver are LG tech's. So they can bill you after

send the phone in cause you rooted it. So the one billion dollar question is witch hero will find a way to unbrick this device. We only need a way

to get a driver to install and we are home free. Or maybe the only other option is throwing the phone for sale on internet for spare parts

HELP PLEASE HELP find a way to unbrick this phone. Believe me I flashed and bricked alot of different phones and there was a way out but in

with this phone it seems impossible!!

And there is no mode to put it in in because te volume buttons don't do crap, the home button also, the only time that the phone does show up is when windows tells me it has an unknown device that I for the love of god can't find a driver for. I tried SDK, the LG drivers, but no dice
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] need4steer:
Did you try emergency mode? (volume up + volume down + power button)

If not, see if you can enter it and then flashing your stock firmware with Software update [KDZ] 1.0.4.4 (KDZ-Flasher).

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dcs:
Version 1.06 of the bootloader will not allow you to downgrade. However, you should be able to re-install your original version or later. Just reset your device, put it in the cradle and run the upgrade.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prashantp1588:
Hi,

I rooted my Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 & tried to install CM custom Rom (cm-7.2.0-cooper.zip ).

Here, at first I was getting an error:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") =="cooper" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "cooper................

I read somewhere to delete a couple of lines from a file in the above mentioned zip file.

I did that that & it worked. Between all this, i might have used ROM Manager to boot into recovery. THATS IT!!!

But now on boot, i get a screen where only 'ANDROID' is written in white & its stuck there.

I did take a backup before doing all this & tried to restore the same.

But now I get stuck at a different stock boot screen with the phone name & model written.

All I have access to is the CWM recovery(4.0.0.9)

Really need help here.

Thanks & Regards.

[Desire General] taha.snoussi:
Hello Devs,

I'm getting my phone frozen too often...

I played a while with several Dev ROMs. The final conclusion for me is that this behavior happens only when it switches to gsm protocol.

I'm now using CM10.1 VJ 6.1 for a long time with zero freeze. This is possible when I force 3g connection using WCDMA.

I traveled to Tunisia where 2g is EDGE not gsm. The Freeze never occurs.

So that's why I think it's gsm protocol related.

Could someone help me on:

- getting my phone fixed (JIC)

- help me fix the issue on a ROM by looking to the code and building my own stuff

Thx in advance for any help.

Without bootloader unlocked and without recowery mod, is it possible?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Why? If you have locked bootloader and no custom recovery, you should have the stock ROM already. All you need to do is unroot and you'll be completely stock.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M4nu3l1c4t4:

In that case, no. There is nothing you can flash with a locked bootloader except a SBF which can be risky.

With the new roms this is not an option as it is no longer a png file file a combo of color codes thoughout the systemui and framework res. It took me 3 months to find all the changes to redirect it to a png
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
I'm not sure I understand your post. You mean I have to change .xml files to apply a transparent status bar ? That is not a problem with ZipThemer, right ?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
What I mean depending on your rom is that you will have to adjust the color codes. Your issues is that the main place one of these changes needs to be made are in a place tat cant be adjusted with zip themer.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
Ok so what would be the solution ? (without ZipThemer)

(By the way thanks for helping me :o)
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
You would have to decompile the both Framework-res apk and the systemui.apk and make about 15 xml edits to redirect it to an image and then remove a few places. Then recompile the apks and then flash them. This would have to be done for each rom you flash.

What are you trying to do over all?
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] azertguigui:
I just want a transparent status bar :crying:
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] zelendel:
This option is in most custom roms. What rom are you running?

4.2.2 stock with some mods (beats louder, a custom battery in status bar, a new locking...)

G'Day,

I would like to know which device you own? XDA I or XDAII? Cause I think the 4.01.12WWE is only for XDA I. I don't think you can flash the ROM on the XDAII with this since the hardware is a bit different. If you own the XDAII and you wish to do a ROM upgrade, you can consider to upgrade with the 1.72WWE which should give you better battery life and BT option. However, you will void your manufacturer warranty if you are using different ROM to upgrade the device (pretty much what all manufacturers will say :? ).

Finally i flashed factory rom through odin, formated a couple of time the phone, and i got back official status.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
It's really not as big of a deal as you are making it. The way I see it you have 2 choices.

1. Exchange the phone for another (that might do the same thing)

2. Ignore it.

Just like every other Galaxy phone out there (you remember the skyrockets, right?) not all of them react the same way. Some get custom, some do not. Others switch back and forth.

I've noticed you have made many posts about this same thing. If someone hasn't provided a concrete answer that has worked for you by now it just doesn't exist yet. No matter how frustrated you are over it, making new posts about it are not going to change anything.

Its up to you if you keep wanting to post about it (I'm not complaining about it), I just don't think it's going to get you any more information at this point than what already has been said. Maybe I am wrong and someone will tell you exactly what to do to make it "official", but I haven't seen anything yet.

Good luck and try not to let it get to you so much.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] polish_pat:
euhhh no, they are not about the same thing, one was about retaining officiel while rooted, and now that i've given up on that, i still have a custom status, the reson why i dont report there is becuase poeple have seen the thread and will not go back, so in order to attract new poster i create a new thread. And no, i dont want to ignore anything because i want OTAs. If you have a problem with that, dont answer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] peoples_flip:
You need to re-root (motochopper method) and then using a file browser such as "root explorer" go to:

/System/Xbin

Once you have navigated to the above path, delete these two files:

"su" and " busybox"

Once you've deleted the two files, uninstall SuperSU and reboot your phone twice.

You'll notice that after the second reboot the "custom" will revert back to "official"
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] polish_pat:
correct me if i'm wrong but these 2 files, should not even exist if you install a firmware thru odin and format the phone a few times...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] peoples_flip:
I went through what you have, I completed a full stock restore via Odin and these two files I mentioned were still there. Use a file explorer and go to the path I suggested and you'll see them there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:
I don't believe the current Odin contains a pit...or whatever it is that formats the phone...

So all Odin is going to do is reinstall everything...so replace missing or corrupted files - it will not delete your new files

Formating from the phone itself won't delete everything...its just going to delete your apps, app data, and cache

Therefore doing multiple factory resets and odins likely will not remove all traces of root...someone correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I believe is the case...

Is there a reason why it showing custom is a bad thing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kreoXDA:
AT&T software update push or download will not work for your phone if it is showing custom. People like to be getting these stock updates as soon as they are published by the provider, not when some good heart packages a new ROM using them.

Good info here, I did this procedure as you described, and yes, official is showing, but you can NOT delete su, it will unroot. I just renamed the 2 files, and root was gone. renamed su back, re-installed su superuser, and reboot, root is back with official status.
