[Q] Possibly Unbrickable

I just recently rooted my LG Thrill 4G with ICS 4.0.4.

When I was trying to install Clockwork Mode Recovery I used a program that had two options. (Looking for the program name now.)

It had "Install" and "Recovery Install" The recovery install was for another phone I believe. I accidentally clicked the latter. Now I start my phone

and I see the LG logo for 1 second before reboot. It's not even enough time to get to adb etc. Is there anything I can do to unbrick it? A hardware unbrick or do I have to send it away and get a new phone?

Thanks.

I believe I was using LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher when it happened if that's of any help.

Found a flash tool. Disregard this post.
[LG Thrill 4G] Jackelope:
Ok so I installed the OMAP driver amd started start_fastboot.bat

With holding down the VOL+ Windows makes the sound of a device connecting and doesn't do the disconnecting sound.

Which is good. Without holding the VOL+ it plays the connecting and then 3 low beeps (Unrecognized Device).

But here's the thing. I can't find the OMAP drive in the device manager when I hold VOL+. And the program says it's

waiting for the OMAP device. Any ideas from here?

Here's my problem.

When I start my phone I see the LG Logo for 1 second before it shuts down. I can't access the factory reset or download mode.

My computer doesn't have enough time to connect to the waiting for OMAP device on the fastboot program.

Thanks for your help. It's been very quiet in here.
[LG Thrill 4G] Jackelope:
OMG!

OMG I fixed it! WIth your help!

Though I didn't use the guide, it did provide me with the key piece of information I needed!

Here's how I did it:

1. Install OMAP Drivers.

2. Hold down the VOL+ button and plug in the USB. The OMAP driver doesn't need to appear in the device manager. Just the COM Port.

3. Let the LG Mobile Support tool reinstall the firmware.

And that's it!

Thanks a million! :laugh:

Now just to be sure I need to test my phone calls etc!

Older version of Android allowed you to do this with Settings > Apps > Lanucher > Clear data

...but this doesn't seem to work on 4.4 as 'Clear data' is always grayed out. Is there any other way to go about this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pr0phet:
Bump..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mister-C:
If you go to Settings, Apps, All, scroll down to Google Search, and then Clear data, this will (I think) reset the home screens. This may be a bit extreme, however. Google search is so integrated into the home screens now so clearing this data may reset more than you want.

Eg you may find that your Google Now history/preferences are reset too. If you lose Google Now just hold down somewhere on the home screen and click on settings, there is a button to turn back on.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HyphyCus:
Tried IRC, so I'm going to try here also.

Anytime I use a ZVB or ZVC based ROM, the kernel crashes within 10-15 seconds of being flashed. No matter which of those based ROMs I use, I get the kernel crash in the same time period. I've tried different kernels as well, but none have worked. I've use Awesome's Kernel Cleaner each time before flashing the kernels, but get the same result.

Here's the kicker though, if I use any of the AOSP ROMs it will run fine. My only problem is there was no EFS backup, so I get no service, which pretty much makes using the 4.3.x+ ROMs useless. Basically, I'm trying to get back to stock ROMs so I can get service and save the EFS to use on the later ROMs. If I can even just get the ZVC ROM working that would be great too.

I'm not sure if there is a AOSP kernel stuck in there or something, and it's not clearing it out, or what is going on. I'm doing a complete wipe with data everytime I flash.

I appreciate any help, and thank you for taking the time to read!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HyphyCus:
When flashing the ZV ROMs? I did the ZVB radio when I did the stock ROM. I might have done it after instead of before though.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HyphyCus:
Only when I went from ZVB to ZVC just to be sure. Would the radio cause the kernel crashing?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
He told me in irc that this originally happened after the screen broke and he replaced it. After that anything stock gives a kernel crash but aosp doesnt.... if that helps anyone trying to help him. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HyphyCus:
Using 2.6.3.0, and wiping everything but SD card. Wiping 3x before installing ROM, gapps and kernel. Tried multiple stock based kernels. Can install CM or Slimbean and it will boot no problem, and work fine. It's just the stock ROMs, and tried Lifeless as well.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HyphyCus:
Guess this has everyone stumped huh?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
There's always LGNPST. Only other option to see if it'll fix it.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HyphyCus:
Tried that with the stock ZV9, ZVB and ZVC. Even used LG flash.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] HyphyCus:
Here's an idea that came in my head. Maybe it's crashing when it tries to connect to the Sprint network. Since the AOSP ROMs never attempt to connect to it, they don't crash. But the stock ROMs do, so they crash when attempting.

If I'm not rooted, I get just a reboot. If I run SuperSU from TWRP before rebooting, then I get the Kernel Crash screen when it reboots.

Two weeks ago my galaxy just stopped working. it was at a decent battery; just stopped. I tried charging it but the phone would vibrate. phone would come on, then shut off. I tried it multiple times and same result; a few times the phone would make it to the samsung startup animation, sometimes it would just flash the samsung logo, once it compleley got to my screen start before shutting off.

I brought my phone to get fixed. It took a whole week and the guy said my phone was just not fixable. It would work for a few hours then shut off again, according to him. I suspect he didnt work much on it though as hed rather fix phones with easy problems as mine was a tough one.

I've had to replace my phone with an iphone now, but right now, out of curiosity, I completely took my phone apart, and started using tweezers to play the power on button. The camera part just broke off (not the actual camera) but now my phone is actually charging! The red light is on, and click the main button, it shows the battery being charged. This has not happened ever since the phone broke.

Am I bricked? Is there hope for this phone??? Please tell me there is lol.

EDIT: My phone seems to have restarted! Turned it on and it's asking for my simcard what is GOING ON LOL
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winosxbuntu:
idont know what you did there, but it worked plus you gotta be more specific to how the phone broke and could not boot-up to screen
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Summertimes:
It just randomly shut off. It was if someone would constantly be turning the phone off as soon as I turned it on. But then I couldn't even charge the phone. No red light, no screen, nothing, just vibration. I would try to turn it on sometimes it would get to the boot up, sometimes not, sometimes nothing, just a vibrate.

I literally took tweezers and lifted the green board out from around the power on button (it's an actual tiny white button on the inside). and then it randomly started working again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] polobunny:
Could be a power button failure. Happens somewhat often.

Could be battery related too, a cheap replacement battery could strike that off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winosxbuntu:
agree with what he said, it could be a problem with the power button or battery is not working

off topic did you really get 176Mb/s download or is it fake

if its real then was it WIFI or DATA , i have never topped 50Mb/s :( both wifi and data) but DATA seems to be 10x faster than my wifi

I was thinking was somekind of missleading /data but I'm not quite sure, I have browsed to data and -hc to see the size and the apps there. It shows my apps and it says the whole thing is around 48mbs tho yet the apps can't be accessed in the interface.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Dark:
The strange thing is that it's showing there's no space left on /data partition...

I suggest that you go to recovery, flash one of the temporary CWM versions around the help section and perform first a nandroid backup (optional though, just in case you got information to save like SMS / Contacts if not backed up on google / whatsapp chats / etc) and then do the three wipes:

- Wipe Data / Factory reset

- Wipe Cache

- From Advanced menu-> Wipe Dalvik Cache

The initial boot will take longer as the Dalvik will be rebuilt, but the device should be performing like a new phone.

After that, try reinstalling your apps, if it still fails, Flash through ODIN
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgdva:
I have tried this wipe data/cache dalvik then getting back to stock with odin -just flashing the PDA file-.

I have tried this in a clean rom -ACE I SCAPE- being specific, bieltv 3.0 kernel, no luck -after 10 apps or 11 it happens-.

I always return to stock by flashing just the pda on odin, should I do anything else?

Now I gave up on kernels, I'm testing again Simplicity 5 now with stock kernel, but to be honest, I don't think that is the problem.

I was thinking that Maybe just maybe could be because the drivers on my pc aren't installed properly? I'm running windows 8.1 though I don't see a warning message or anything :rolleyes:

I'm thinking the SD-booster can be messing something when activated, so I'm going to try a few days without it
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Dark:
First things first, what I'm trying to tell you is to try your device *clean* with no apps installed, even with no root. A real factory reset, i.e. a recently flashed ODIN OnePackage.

Do that, to really see how much space you have free, root your device, install link2sd (without creating or even mounting your sd-ext), see the free space information, and voilá.. I recommend that program because it's free and it's really lightweight when compared to many root tools.

EDIT: To see the available space on link2sd, launch the program, if asked to mount sd-ext, tap cancel, press the menu key (not home button, the one to the left of it) and click on Teh Option

The idea of doing this, is to see that your Nand chip is well and there are no bad blocks in it that may be marked as such and lowering your free space... (it's extremely rare for the NAND to have bad blocks though.... or so they say!)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgdva:
Ok, I used ODIN OnePackage for my country, but when my phone booted, my old apps were there -the launcher and link2SD-, but, yeah, root was gone .

So, I tried a 2nd time, used the wipe data/cache/dalvik and flashed again the onepackage (all of the process below is in stock rom).

I went then to Settings-Apps-All, it shows 36/153. I tried going to "-dc" on console, but, yeah, no superuser, no access.

I proceeded to root again, though, the process wasn't like the first time -it just rooted no extra screen about binaries-.

Now, with root, in the interface shows 38/153. For the adb this time, I couldn't make the "du -hc" command (I guess its because is missing busybox binaries), so, I just "ls"'ed, and yeah, no extra apps for what it seems.

Then I installed link2SD, now it shows 46/190.

Everything seems to be Ok, so I don't know what is happening (or happend) -I'm very confused too :/-.

I'm proceding to install ACE I SCAPE again and see if that worked, I hope it won't fail again.

I'm thinking that just maybe the modules from rafael bugis kernel and then flashing bieltv kernel did somekind of missleading, but yet again, I just don't get why after the Onepackage was flashed the launcher and link2SD (that were in the previous rom -simplicity v5 with stock kernel-) were there in the fresh install :confused: .Plus, I always went back to stock with odin from a backup I did with the phone when it was fresh new.

Update: Nope, it didn't work, the problem is there again,whenever I surpass linking 20 apps it just don't load the internal.

PS: On simplicity 4 I had over 120 apps linked working fine, I just had problems to update them but nothing else than that

I see the problem now, link2SD is not linking properly and therefore, when the phone is loading it can't mount everything and this leads on some times mounting launcher/link2SD or other apps and the apps that can't load the phone just don't let them go in.

Should I use cronmod?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Dark:
Either that or... You might want to try the following:

1. Backup your SD-Ext

2. Format it through CWM (yes, you have to flash it)

3. Optional: create a swap space (Can actually be used with some kernels like Thunderkernel)

4. Install link2sd

5. Prepare all the stuff, i.e. restore your apps, set-up link2sd, etc..

6. Try again :P lol

screen-record-adb

One of the newer features in Android 4.4 – KitKat includes the ability to record your screen. Which is something I’m in love with right now. It definitely helps when I’m doing tutorials, like this one. Instead of recording it with a separate camera and having to worry about lighting and such. This way is much easier and preferred in my opinion. To record your screen, it’s actually quite simple. You do need to have the Android SDK installed to be able to do this. Once it’s installed, just navigate to the platform-tools folder and open up a command prompt window. Then enter the following command:

adb shell screenrecord /sdcard/filename.mp4

As you can see in the image above, I named it screenrecord-sample.mp4. I actually have a quick sample of a screen recording down below that you can check out. The quality may not be that great, but you can change that. By default it does it at 4mb bit rate. But luckily you can change that. The preferred bit rate for me is 8mb, which you add into the command so it looks like this:

adb shell screenrecord — bit rate 8000000 sdcard/filename.mp4

That allows you to record at a higher bit rate which is always good, and better for viewers. The screen recording has a limit of 3 minutes. So you can’t go longer than 3 minutes, and it’ll actually disconnect shortly before then. Which kinda sucks, but I’m sure there’s a reason behind it. It’ll continue to record your screen until you go into the command prompt and press Ctrl+C to stop it. Then you’ll find the screen record in your gallery under the name that you made for it.

It’s actually really simple, and we’ll definitely be using this for some tutorials and how to’s in the future here at Android Headlines. Stay tuned for plenty more Nexus 5 and KitKat coverage.

Root or device and keep frequency from 350 to below 710

Don't play games more than 20 min

CPU overheat causing hang and bootloop problems

Use WiFi than any 2g or 3g network.

That's all folks.
[Sony Xperia L] Deleted member 4736004:
Well, actually no.

1. Turning down frequency won't help because cpu1 is always governed by userspace. This is due to mpdecision.

2. What, seriously? When an object does work, it loses equivalent work as to validate law of conservation of energy (heat in this case).

All android devices heat. It all boils down to chipset and device chassis. Thankfully, L's chipset is 28nm. This provides space to fit more transistors in a particularly same die size. Thus, more performance and less heat.

Similarly, poorly engineered device cabinet can obstruct air inflow.

3. maybe. I don't have WiFi router at home.

Battery life is infact affected by:

1. User's common sense

2. irregular charging periods

3. Kernel

4. No of apps causing wakelocks

5. Instruction set, chipset

6. Stupid OEM's Tweaks

Hey, at the college where I work, we also use 802.11x for authentication and I haven't had an issue with my N5. We also use XpressConnect as the wifi wizard but I just manually set up my connections. I have tried our staff and student wireless networks without issue. The settings are the same but we adjust access based on where your college id is located in AD. I haven't come in contact with another N5 yet.

One thing I do when I can't get student devices to connect to our wifi, is I reset their password to their default password, even if it already is the default password. No clue what it does but devices connect right away-you might want to try going to your school's help desk / IT department and ask them to reset your password or do it through the college's website if thats available. Sometimes, just a password change enables devices to get on the network.

Hope it helps...

Please charge your phone to at least 65%. Then follow the steps. REMEMBER TO BACKUP EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING SO.

Here are the steps on how to reset to 0. Please root the phone again and after that, install MOBILE ODIN. Copy the STOCK ROM you have previously flashed into your internal storage by connecting your phone to your PC. Next, open MOBILE ODIN. Follow all instructions. Next, scroll down and select "Open file..." then look for the file you had copied into the internal storage of your phone. After that, just press OK on the pop-up dialogs that appear. Next, scroll down. Untick "Enable Everroot". Proceed to select "Flash firmware". Make sure to CHECK the MD5 sum. After that let it flash the firmware. Once it's completed, hurray! You're back on stock with counter back at 0. IF YOU'RE STUCK AT THE FLASHING BLUE SAMSUNG LOGO, HOLD THE POWER KEY UNTIL THE PHONE IS OFF. PRESS THE VOLUME UP + HOME + POWER BUTTON UNTIL THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S III TEXT APPEARS. RELEASE THE POWER KEY. NEXT, FACTORY RESET BY SELECTING THE OPTION AND PRESSING POWER KEY TO CONFIRM. NEXT, WIPE CACHE. REBOOT YOUR DEVICE AFTERWARDS.
