My xda 2 is stuck on the bootloader and wont do anything after trying to reset it ive tried i think everything that i can possible do and i read most of what was offered yet its still stuck on the bootloader. I tried to upgrade from v1.60.... to the latest at v1.72.187 uk o2 . Please help ><
Have you tried resetting your device, placing it back in the cradle and re-running the upgrade?
I have tried reseting but it fades then reappears disallowing me to run the upgrade 'Xda_II_172187_Final' but i have downloaded another which sizes around 512kb but this says that the rom image is not present. :/ can u link me to another upgrade if it may help

Exactly which upgrades have you attempted? What happens when you run the XDA_II_172187_Final upgrade?
What is the 512kb upgrade you mention?
I used 'himaupgradeut_197.exe' after the 'Xda_II_172187_Final'.
'himaupgradeut_197.exe' was the 500kb file which gave me the error
that no rom image was found and the 'Xda_II_172187_Final' was the only 1 that i used to upgrade and that says it cannot connect to the device ...make sure its connected.

The HimaUpgradeUt_197.exe file is not an upgrade it is a version of the upgrade program. It still needs to be used with all the other files that form part of the upgrade process.
As regards the connection error, make sure you are in bootloader mode (by pressing Jog button and Power button at the same time as pressing reset) before retrying the upgrade. Also make sure the USB cradle is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not through a hub and that the power supply is connected to the cradle. It may help to make sure that ActiveSync isn't running also, as it is not required for upgrading.
Isnt it already in bootload mode? if not i dont know where the jog button is Also i just realised i didnt have my cradle its own powersuplly which i have done just now but i dont want to carry on witht upgrade is there a way i can just make it back to normal ?

It sounds like your device is already in bootloader mode - my suggestion is just a 'failsafe' The Jog button is the multi-directional button at the bottom centre of your device.
I don't think it is possible to 'go back' to normal as if you never did anything. With the power connected properly there is every chance an upgrade will now work. You can, of course upgrade using the original ROM version, if you know what that was.
hmm its still done a restart and yet it doesent seem to connect. When i restart the xda 2 its still in bootload mode when i place it in cradle still in bootload mode and i still get the same errors witht the upgrade ><
OK. This should work Can you try a different USB port? Failing that, is it possible to try another PC? I know about other users that had connection problems and tried a different PC and it worked OK.
Omg thank you i thought i lost it Thank you Very much i cnt thank you enough. ^^
For reference i switched the USB cable around and it worked ^^
That is great news
Hi, Let me honestly admit that I am a newby and have read the threads over the last few weeks so much that I'm really confused now. I read one thing which then asks you to click and read another, but the answers I want are only partly found.
So I hope someone can please take pity on me and answer the following:
I have a TyTN SIM FREE phone which has a Orange sim card. In fact, Virgin & o2 cards have been used on it but Orange seems the best at the mo'.
Does that mean its unlocked?
I am trying to upgrade to WM6 (without even thinking about WM6.1), but "Error 260" comes up each and every time. I have tried 150+ and its still the same.
Please believe me that I have tried every way mentioned on these forums. I've tried on a xp (I have Vista) and its still the same.
My phone screen just goes black when trying to install, then the error comes up.
What exactly is "OPEN PORT" ? I cannot find a thread that actually EXPLAINS that. What do I have to do when it says:"Reset your computer"? Which one, the desktop or the TyTN? If the latter, I have reset so many times. If the desktop, what do I have to reset?
My TyTN tells me that its a HERM 200 IPL- 1.00 and HERM 200-2.03.
If someone can just list in a order what I have to do in order to get this upgrade I would be for ever grateful. HTC do not want to know & London HTC Support Hotline was a washout.
I do hope to hear soon, cos' its started to drive me mad now.
reset both, try unplugging usb cable and plugging into another usb port if prob persists...
1). download and install Hard SPL ver 7. Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
This makes it easier or possible to unbrick your phone if something does(will) go wrong. THIS IS A MUST!!!!!!!
2). Once you have Hard SPL on your phone, you can either use the pc to flash OR the sd card method. I personally prefer the sd method as its harder to brick your phone. To do this, download the HERMES rom of your choice. Unzip(rar) the file and generally there are 2 files. RUU_Wrapper.exe & RUU_signed.nbh. Copy the RUU_signed.nbh onto a fat 32 formatted memory card and rename it to "HERMIMG.NBH". Put it back in the hermes and go to bootloader( hold power and OK button(above the flywheel) and then reset with the stylus. hold ALL the buttons down until it goes into tricolour screen. It should automatically detect the flash file and start the upgrade process, follow the prompts... Please remember to either delete or change the name of the .nbh file else it will upgrade next time you go into bootloader.
Hope this helps... Cheers...
Hi. Thank you for your reply and at the mo' I'm trying to get the Hard SPL7 file on my pocket pc. I've never come across something which sounds easy but being very difficult! The file is on my phone, but "will not unzip 'cos .net compact framework is not on my pocket pc" when I am staring at it in the face in my downloads.
What I've decided to do is to do a hard reset and start afresh. I'll let you know how I get on....
download it to your computer, not the phone
pls see the guides here: www.mrvanx.org
Sorry not been able to try anything yet due to illness. Going to try tomorrow & I hope it works. Not tried for a while and already dreading it.
I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks for your replies.
Hi everyone. Just letting you know a friend of mine upgraded my pocket pc. He said it was "hard work" but he did it!
The phone works great and is much faster, but now I have another problem. It will not sync with WMDC.
It is possible a new thread will be following soon. I am at present, following other people's advice.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Letting us know what ROM you had flashed with would help. As the different ROMs have different solutions in solving that WMDC problem.

I use camera and power becouse only this combination do something with phone.
I flash bin Nokser rom.
i use program downloader 4 from nicola92 post.
it will just do this with noksers wm6.5.x rom
i also had the screen MOD fs_device. C 0248
just flash a different wm6.5.x rom or whatever other rom you want its just noksers rom that did this to me
How you upload rom? Becouse after 10 second screen turn off.

After that, the phone displays a green light, vibrates and all. Now TG downloader doesn t even see the phone/
OK which ROM will it NOT do it with that will restore my phone as I have this problem as well. Please a link to a bin file would be excellent (So I don't have to convert it as I don't know how).
I have to say I feel a bit nervous about flashing something that doesn't have the 0321 radio, or shouldn't I be worried about that?

Ah.. welcome to my world :-( Are you trying a bin file or a tsw file? (And why does it seem to work for some people and not for others??)
There MUST be something common here. Either people have different versions of phones OR we are all making the same mistake somewhere?
For example: I had to go into the device manager and manually update/reinstall the drivers for the wm6.5 bootloader drivers and the wp7 bootloader driver, as otherwise it wouldn't see the phone.
Also.. I'm flashing bin files. I figure the cable is fine as well as it seems to install the bootloader so I can flash, and the phone restarts when it should etc.
I was looking round for this MOD 248 thing, and the phone not booting, and it looks like back in October 'nyl' and a few others were getting this issue, yet still managed to recover there phones. So don't lose hope
I don't know why, but it seems like certain bin files work for some people but not for others? Very strange.
If anyone has some other bin files (WM6.5 AND WP7 that they know will work, please link to them )
Thanks!

hi, i don't know much over the qpst upgrade method- but few user here with same/similar issue (flash! although get a checksumm error!) have managed it succesfull ...........
Hey mirolog
Do you have a working link to your mirom8 wm6.5 build please? I assume I will need to change radio on it from 300 to 321 before I flash though as well?
I will try the QPST method if another rom doesn't solve my issue.

good luck, my friend , miro
Thanks mirolg
Downloading now. Will let you know later. I also found a 0321 tsw file on my sd card, and have used TG Tool to decrypt it to a bin file, so if your's doesn't work I'll try this one as well
Didn't work :-( MOD 248 issue again. Retried wp7 just in case.. no good lol.
maybe qpst only way then.
I had this problem and i and i have not solved it yet. What happend?
1. At this point " 5. Install tg downloader and the 32 bit driver." driver not installed properly ....Qualcomm .... with red x. My OS is XP sp3 32bit
2. At this point " 10. Start download. on the 99% stay 1-2 min. PLEASE wait the 100% and the auto reboot " ... i get error ... invalid checksum , phone rebooted
I installed ZTEiT Common downloader and the acer f1 driver ... no problem
pressing and holding Camera + Power button get me Blue led . i flashed wp7 , phone rebooted, but nothing on the screen,
I tried to get back to wm 6.5 but at the end after reboot i get on the screen this code
MOD 0248, I tried many times and various wm6.5 ROM till i made a big mistake: flashing without SD card inside, after that PC does not recognized my TG01, I thought its bricked becouse it could not get in to downloader mode, no white led, only green, no message on the screen. I charge the battery via USB cable cut until 4,15 V in vain, nothing happend. I hope it will help others to see what risk assumes. good luck !
I see no reason why flashing without the SD card in would cause an issue.
Note: Rapidly flashing orange/red light normally means battery is too low/depleted... so recharge using either the USB cable cut trick, or buy a cheap mobile phone battery EXTERNAL charger. (One that you take the battery out to charge with).
This really does seem now to be a common theme. What the heck is going on here? Do some people have slightly different model phones, or are we doing something ever so slightly wrong?
Also: If i hold down Camera + Up Volume + Power, I get the message "checking ftm mode Shared memory RPC Failed! - Spin Forever!". Now does this mean it's not actually in ftm mode?
Bah. Just tried using TG Downloader on a Windows XP Virtual Machine. I cannot get it to open the port. Regardless of whether I have installed drivers. Even tried setting the COM Ports to be the same value in a vain hope, or installing the drivers into W7 as well, but no use :-(
It was mentioned about having to use TG01C but I can only use (on my XP Laptop) TG01W, otherwise it doesn't open the port and flash. Do I need a slightly different boot loader for my phone or something?
The bit I REALLY don't get is that unless you manually install the drivers for the phone (I.e. going into the device manager, and selecting the folder, and then letting it pick up that you have plugged in a TG QDLoader... it won't work. BUT.. the guide makes absolutely no mention of this? This seems odd.
Well... I've tried:
Different cables
Different ROM's (WP7 and WM6.5) mirolg's and nokser's
Decoding Different ROM's
Redownloaded bootloaders from different sources
Charged the battery 100% in an external charger each time
How the heck am I going to get out of the MOD 248 situation (wm6.5) / Green light (WP7)
What other options for flashing are open to me? I can't boot wm6.5 or wp7 :-( Does my phone need a different boot loader perhaps?
I do not believe my phone is bricked, because it does have a display and it can sometimes tell me the FTM check failed (using different buttons to force the FTM option). "nyl" managed to get out of this MOD 248 situation with a different ROM, but I can't for some reason.
I am scared to flash any other rom than a 0321 rom, although I can obviously change radio's on other rom's if need be.
it's really depressing to see you're trying to flash the wp7 without any sucess . so sorry for you. wp7 bootloader from my [guide] werks very well. I think it not exist a another or different wp7 bootloader.
I like to help you, but I don´t know nothing over this MOD 248 issue. In other thread i have read, one user with same/similar issue, solved it with flash with qpst method .........
have you try it?
Don't think I can do QPST method if I can't load anything? (I've had three ciders tonight so forgive me - we came second in the pub quiz.. our first win (top three!) lol ;-) )
Will look into it.
I realise I kinda vocal on my issue - and let me state right now: "I do NOT blame you guys, I thank you so VERY MUCH for creating these WP7 ROM's, you only have my upmost respect "
I do actually see a fair number of people saying they were unable to flash correctly (i.e. Stuck between WM6.X and WP7 :-( ) So I figure I have to keep trying so that I can provide a solution for those people as well. Maybe I can compare my phone model/year/serial number/place of manufacturer etc to other people that are having issues, and those that had success?
i finally figured out how to get CWM installed and working, after a couple of months of fighting with it, off and on. so, i guessed that meant i have my bootloader unlocked - "wrong!".
i deleted some thing that wasn't supposed to be deleted, then the damned cell network and lan network stopped working (keeps saying com.android.phone has stopped). so i was going to put cyanogenmod on it, because i thought that i could, and just be done with the whole "missing apps" crap. it turns out "just because you CAN put CM on it doesn't mean you CAN put CM on it". i bricked it. i have NO options to "load" or "flash" or "boot" any thing when the phone is booting up. i would love some clarification as to what i CAN do from here.
i would rather install CM and be done with all of this, but i'll take any advice that gets rid of the problem. the biggest problem is understanding how to put CM on your phone, or to do any thing at all like that, when you cant get into any kind of recovery / boot menu, even though you ARE rooted... i don't care if i have to install cyanogenmod or some one else's CWM backup, i just don't know HOW to do it - especially with no windows (only linux). it's a rooted p769v20d (originally p769v10g).
thanks

i was going to try some stuff mentioned in other threads, but i don't have access to a windows computer - and i don't think i need to root my phone again any way, considering it is still rooted.

fwiw, regarding the mysterious deleted app:
i lose my internet signal as soon as it says "com.android.phone has stopped", then i get it back again right before it says that message again - it ALSO shows a cell-phone signal right before that message. this repeats over and over and over every few seconds - aggravating as hell...
here's the apps that i still have installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45774770

Nice thread title. That is how I am feeling right now with this phone. I feel like calling tech care and yell at them for a bit to vent. Anyway, why not install fastboot for Linux and flash the ics u and x? I uploaded my u and x folder in the Unlock Bootloader for Noobs thread. Then, flash the 20h.....oh, dang.... sorry. Forgot.... no Windows. Maybe do the built-in restore by holding the volume down, home and power keys?

thanks, but i think i finally got it working. i never knew, after all this time, that after you do the l9recoveryinstaller, at the reboot, there are no cues to tell when when to hit some buttons, and it's not clear what buttons to hit. here's what i did, and, so far, its progress:
1: be rooted
2: install busy box, completely
3: install l9recoveryinstaller
4: reboot
5: after you see the LG logo, hold vol-down until you see the flashing lights (i thought you see the flashing lights and THEN you hit vol-down, but i was wrong).
still fighting to get a rooted rom installed ...
if i choose "install zip from external sdcard" is says:
"finding update ... opening update ... installing update ...installation aborted".
if i choose "restore" instead of "install" it will not let me select any thing, it just keeps saying file not found, when i try to select any further options, whether "restore" or "restore from external sdcard" or "advanced restore from external sdcard". and i already checked to make sure the sdcard was mounted...

I think your phone bootloader is locked, you cannot flash any custom rom zip file. It will soft brick your phone.
Please restore P769 CWM back from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136204. Download backup file and unbzip it. Put extract files in your sdcard /clockworkmod/backup/2013-08-30.12.00.00 folder. Extract file should contain several .img, .tar, .a, .log and .md5

Well correct me if I am wrong, but I guess you "only" deleted some system files, right? Do you remember which ones were the ones? Or at least the folder they were in? Then you only need to extract that stuff from a kdz/ the bin file and push them on your phone using adb or maybe even the dd command.
Maybe if someone is kind enough, he ll probably provide you with the files you need. And cmiiw, but I guess you deleted stuff from /system/app...

However, i would recommend using a portable windows xp (bootable usb)
VR is not the best option IMO
You will need this program http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/

Sorry I can't provide a link to the iso but do a google search for

It's depend on what method you use. You can flash kdz using offline method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
or use LG mobile support tools from LG website. If you choose this you don't need to download any kdz. It'll download kdz automatically from LG server then flash it on your phone. It take about an hour or two.

thats awesome - i wonder if i can get by with using that on wine on linux, instead of borrowing a windows computer... i'm gonna try it...
well, the verdict is in, on this one: i'm screwed. i've tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried and tried, and i can NOT flash this damned phone. it's BRICKED.
i borrowed / hijacked my brother's computer (windows7), all day. i tried a few different things - i even tried the same way i flashed it to update it ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356536 ), which was worthless to unbrick it.
the problem in every case was that every time the damned flasher got so far along it would "lose the connection to the phone". drivers installed, etc, etc, no difference. i suspect its because i couldnt connect it in all the various modes (mtp ptp etc), since the ONLY way it would connect is in "software upgrade mode".
i had to buy another phone, won't have it till tuesday. lesson learned: NEVER buy a phone that didn't come from samsung... you just can't do what you want with them, without a lot of time, patience, experience, and a windows computer.
thanks for all the help.

i had to buy another phone, won't have it till tuesday. lesson learned: NEVER buy a phone that didn't come from samsung... you just can't do what you want with them, without a lot of time, patience, experience, and a windows computer.
thanks for all the help.

Did you try to recover your phone with LG mobile support tool. It can reinstall rom in almost any soft-brick case. Please try it if you haven't try it yet. Many people restore their phone by that software. The steps are
- Download LG mobile support tool from LG web site
- Boot you phone to S/W update mode
- Run Tool and select recover phone
- Wait about 1-2 hours to download and flash
If it's not hardware problem, this should solve your problem

i never found that on their website, and i looked quite a few times. however, i noticed when i used the b2clientsetup.exe that if i run it without running the shttp server first, that it downloads a support tool from the net, which does not work - keeps saying phone lost connection. not sure if its the same tool.

Yes that tool. In my region, it has download link but for P769 it has request repair service.
Download from http://tool.xcdn.gdms.lge.com/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe
You must remove following lines from hosts file
127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
127.0.0.1 csmgdl.lgmobile.com
Then run it

yeah, that's exactly what i did, but it would keep "losing the connection to the phone". not sure why, but i suspect it was a driver issue - and i installed the latest drivers, which made no difference. i also went back and installed older drivers, which made no difference. i must just be lucky as hell, or some thing .

Try to use others USB ports, if that also doesn't work maybe you have to try on other computer.

yeah, i tried switching between the usb 3.0 ports and usb 2.0 ports, but it made no difference. i have no access to any other computers, so, that's why i ended up ordering another phone. i'll never buy another phone that is not a samsung...
thanks
In my country (RO) there are some GSM Repair Centers. You should not give up and you should go to them. Par example, I flashed an HTC Mozart when the battery was dead and I bricked it (idiot, I know). I went to a shop like the ones mentioned above and I think he said that he has to flash the phone using a JTAG or something like that (I know that he has to open the phone to reach it's motherboard, solder some **** out there and... flash I guess). The whole thing was about ~20E. Anyway, keep digging, maybe you'll eventually find something that works for you. If not, go to someone who can "force flash" it and maybe you can save the device.
The phone notified me there is a system update so I went ahead. Unfortunately, towards the end, it gave me an error message. I remember seeing the big Android robot lying flat on its back.
Now, the phone is completely dead. When I connect it to my computer I can hear the "new hardware connected" sound then immediately the disconnecting sound. This goes on and on for ever.
I tried using the tools provided on Leagoo's site, but they're useless as the computer is not able to recognize the phone.
Is there a hard reset key combination?
Thanks.

In the end, I was able to finally recover it. I just kept trying and trying: while the phone was connected to the computer, I removed the battery, then I put it back in; as well I was disconnecting it from the computer, then plug it back - I did this several times until the software on the computer was able to recognize it.
Even so, when I managed to reflash it, around 60%-70%, I got a message that it failed; so I tried again - it failed around 80% then I tried one more time and it was successful. Now the phone is working fine.
So my advice to you is to keep trying - leave the software on and click on the "download firmware" or whatever it was called, meanwhile keep unplugging the phone (and play with the battery as well).
Good luck! (you will need it)
Same problem, but leagoo responded with driver, firmware, flash tool, instructions and a video.
But nothing changed, so i have to retry.
Thanks for your post.
Edit:
I was thinking that was a hardware problem with micro usb connector!

i did it! just tried a lot of times, but firmware from leagoo doesn't work, display shows only "stipes".
I found another firmware (don't remember where) and then all things went good.
Now the phone notified me there is a system update, i have to do it?
