sounds recoverable, if there is a backlight and mass storage comes up that's good, you can dd partitions with linux

no backlight + no recognizable usb device at all = bricked

still, buy at your own risk
[G2 General] kewkie:
It is.. i just did by flashing a broken rom.. sent it to the repair center and they replaced the motherboard :D
[G2 General] E-I-K-E:
Right, I asked him if the Device shows as qhsusb_bulk in device Manager, and it does.

The only thing that worries me, is that there is no Boot Logo, most of the people in the Linux Fix Thread atleast get a LG Logo and not just Backlight.

I´m really unsure what to do, I can save like 150€ by buying the broken G2, but well . . . I dont know if I can fix it.

Another problem is, that I have not a single clue on how to operate Linux/Ubuntu, and the only real fix requires either of those :(
[G2 General] alone-together:
Just look up a guide on how to install an Ubuntu virtual machine. You should be able to connect your G2 to that virtual if you let it capture the USB port. If you can get it cheap, buy it and try to negotiate so you might have a chance on selling it for higher later on if you can't fix it. To me though, it sounds quite fixable, I would go for it.
[G2 General] dr87:
this doesn't really matter, when I was trying to mess with the bootloader and corrupted it a few times I've never had the LG logo, as long as it comes up as storage you can DD it - the only time its a true brick is with no backlight and no usb device

if theres no boot logo you probably need to DD the aboot in
[G2 General] khaytsus:
This.. If you have bulk mode, you can fix it!
[G2 General] savoca:
That's actually just killing a fly with a sledgehammer. 99.9999% sure you got a softbrick.

Tried 3 different laptops

1x windows 8.1 (with ubuntu)

1x window 7 x64

1x windows 7 x86

Reinstalled all drivers, tried everything, but i couldnt get any usb connection.

- Factory reset? Freeze

- Normal boot? Stuck at bootlogo

- Download mode? Stucking at the loading screen :D
[G2 General] EniGmA1987:
I had that problem when updating TWRP too. You have to be careful because these recoveries are only made for specific firmware versions. I cant remember how I fixed the issue after only being able to get a backlight on and no image, but I did fix it and my phone works fine. I do think you will need the TWRP files already on the phone to fix though, so you can somehow manage to flash back. They will need to be on the phone since you can push anything via ADB
[G2 General] whosaysjohn:
i've been in this bricked situation when i was trying the 4.4.2 update manually...completely bricked, could not get into download mode too...so gave it to the service centre which at first said the main board will have to be changed when recovering through software upgrade failed...next day i got the phone back as they managed to flash the software back on it...

does not end here...i tried to flash optimus g pro 2 rom through twrp and same thing happened again...but was lucky this time as i could enter download mode and flashed kdz to recover...
[G2 General] fizzy177:
And yes i truly believe that our device can be hard bricked like i did mine today.

I tried to compile a custom bootloader for G2 using Qualcom's sources and fraction of LK. But in doing so i left my phone in a quasi-state where it will not connect as a usb device coz it does not pass the bootloader (Although bootloader is working as it should). .

So the only two option remain here for me is

1. To send phone back to LG service center where they'll do idk what.

2. To use JTAG or short the ic (Wonder if it could be done :confused: ) i.e manually open the phone and boot into the primary bootloader(Qcom legacy BL).

See that's how you can hard brick ur phone the right way ;)
[G2 General] savoca:
Your LK build wouldn't have matched the sbl1, anything other than LG's signed aboot wouldn't work.. /:
[G2 General] fizzy177:
But it did work coz our bootloader enfoces the signature check not in the sbl.(Our Primary boot loader)

i'm sure of it because it tries to go to download option but freezes at initial stage.

had it been the case my device would've been detected as qucom_bulk device or so.. :(

---------- Post added at 09:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

You my dear friend are a victim of a curroupt bootloader seqence(NOT THE CoRRUPT BOOTLOADER) i.e

Your phone would start something like

1- EFI initialization ok

2-Primary Boot Load -ok

3-Vendor Boot Load -ok

4- Error unable to find proper boot sequence- system halted

So ur best options are the one that i've stated just above this thread.
[G2 General] ramabg:
My case. I root and flash custom recovery then apply OTA = medium brick. Download mode was not functioning, only recovery. To make matter worse, I flashed KK stock rom through ADB in recovery = super brick. Then I went to LG service center with poker face asked for reparation. They asked (confirm) whether your phone is rooted or not (they had already know though) and I just said like It is my sister's phone. Then they they open the phone and maybe directly format the sd card with some stuff. My phone is restored again afterward. In my opinion, software modification can always be repaired unless you fry your phone through overclock or overvolt.
[G2 General] khaytsus:
It's not a brick if it was restored... meh.

I know that there is alot of battery saving tips in this forum but lets gather all of them together so we can help each other and reach the best battery life available

For me I found that

1-hard reseting the device and only installing the apps u actually use is very helpful

2-Also power saving mode does some nice job.

3-And u can turn off the bloatware that u dont find useful from the application manager

So......, start advising guys......
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] benni_1994:
Turn off wifi if you dont need it.

Turn off GPS if you dont need it.

Sync your emails manually, or try to set the push frequency higher.

Install greenify to hibernate apps which are preventing deep sleep.

Use manual brightness. Control it yourself and try to dim the display as much as possible.

Disable pen detection to turn off the digitizer when not needed.

Hello everyone.

I Have Google Nexus 4 with stock Android 4.4.2.

My problem is when i use the video recorder ( i have tried stock and LgCamera app both ) the video and audio quaility is extremely horrible. I notice that when i record with LgCamera app at 20mbps, there is a little bit improvement at video quality but the sound is still really bad even tho i record at 48KHZ, 320kbps !

İs there any cure for this. Audio quality really sucks !
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] Kamau54:
I'm sure that all this info is helpful, but I personally just don't think about, or actually care about it. When choosing a phone, I am concerned about features and price. If I start thinking about it, then I'd have to also think about how much radiation my appliances in the home put out, how much emissions my car puts out, and the amount of everything in my food & water. Have you looked under a microscope at a drop of water? That alone would make you think twice about drinking water ever again. Or how about the acceptable levels of feces, hair and toxins allowable in food products.

I'm not condemning nor criticizing your research. I actually thank you for the effort you put into it to bring awareness to us. It's just, as for me, I don't think about or worry about, such things.

I hear you, I'm kinda the opposite where I consider the things I put into my body. For water like you mentioned, I filter my own water with a Berkey rather than tap/bottled water...and don't use a microwave(Pizazz pizza maker instead)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] dligon:
hopefully this sar radiation is like gamma radiation then a few of us can turn into the HULK and HULK smash AT&t for not updating us on time and locking the bootloader.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 General] BarryH_GEG:
Of all the things likely to kill or injure me I'd put my wireless devices in the bottom 5%. ;) And while radiation levels may have gone up over time the amount of time we actually hold our wireless devices to our heads has gone down with the percentage of voice calls decreasing in favor of other functions.

[HTC One S] AiZ_04:
Hi,

So I have tried each and every method I could search on the InterWebs.

I am trying to connect my HTC One S C2 (villec2) on Stock 4.1.1 Sense 4+ latest firmware

with Windows XP SP3, Latest HTCDriver_4.2.0.001 are installed. Yes Windows Media Player 11 in installed and NO it does not detect the device either.

ADB works. Windows detects the CD Drive with HTC Sync Manager but no MTP.

There isn't an option available for USB Mass Storage and I don't want to root just yet and I don't have Windows 7

I have tried entering:

%GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0DF8&MI_00

in both wpdmtp.inf and wpdmtphw.inf files.

And I have also tried updating the MTP device driver manually by using the "Have Disk" method.

I am at a loss. If someone can help me, please tell me a way to make MTP work on WINDOWS XP!!! PLEASE!! :crying:
[HTC One S] AiZ_04:
Help anyone? No one? :(
[HTC One S] Cyclu:
I had similar problem with MTP have Win7 and One S (ville) I resolved my problem with this software USBDevView:

http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html

-First uninstall your actual HTC driver (reboot PC)

-Download latest HTC Sync Manager which include latest driver 4.10.0.001

-Install HTC Sync Manager then uninstall it keep only the driver on your PC (reboot)

-You can delete with the software above all trace of HTC driver and old trace of all connected device to your PC (reboot)

for this launch the software with admin rights then for delete select the line with the same "Device name" then right click>"Uninstall Selected Device"

Be careful what you delete in the usb devices list delete one line at time!

I know you have WinXP but I hope this help anyway!;)

To found more easier your devices in the list you can download this file usb.ids to have VendorID/ProductID (place it in soft. folder)

http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids
[HTC One S] AiZ_04:
What do you mean by "deface"?

And why would I uninstall the device?

I will look into the above mentioned software and reply back.
[HTC One S] Cyclu:
Sorry bad translation I write deface instead delete it mean unistall selected device driver.

Yes the name "Uninstall selected device" may confuse but this function uninstall all trace of the device driver.

Applications in general do not have sufficient permissions to do such system-y stuff.

Windows Phone does not need it, its been polished pretty well. the most you can do is clear temporary files and close open apps, but even those are not crucial for smooth operation, just for clearing some storage space and closing apps, although WP manages itself well.

Pocket ufo "X-Com"

First developed and produced by microprose they created UFO: Enemy Unknown for the PC later released I believe :confused: under the name X-COM: UFO Defense for PC and then under the name X-COM: Enemy Unknown for Sony Playstation in 1994 (with Mythos) followed by the sequel X-COM: Terror from the Deep 1995 which was based underwater and as good of a game as the first. The next game released was X-COM: Apocalypse in 1997 (with Mythos). And X-COM: Interceptor in 1998. These were all great games :D but with the rise of first person shooter games the Real Time Strategy fell behind in sales and final Microprose went under and closed :( Then years later came X-COM: First Alien Invasion in 1999 followed with X-COM: Enforcer in 2001 by	Hasbro & Infogrames but gamers didn't take to the return of RTS so they bombed especially since only the first two microprose games were released on playstation and games were being produced for gaming systems by now and the young generation and parents were buying into them as opposed to the then popular PC. I believe there was another company that made a similar game under the name that was a fps but I don't recall the name. Now the creators of Bio Shock 2 "2K Marin" have picked up the name and have created a First Person shooter that should be released sometime this year. Of course every time I hear the name "X-COM" I think Real-Time-Strategy and anything that deviates from that I already give a bad mark just for ruining the name of the original. But I will of course still buy it and try it.

Now as for instructions they only come with the game but I am sure I can tell you what to do if you need help. Just let me know the issue.
