optimus one dead - Optimus One, P500, V General

ok. i;ve done it.
i tried to install v10c europe unbranded and kdz updater gave me a param error and now my phone is completly dead. it doesnt start at all.
can i recover it somehow?
kdz updater doesn't see it any longer.

Does it show anything at all. Does the screen display the LG or android logo?
Try the hard reset. Press Vol down+Home+PowerButton till you see the LG logo come up. If things are fine then the phone should reset itself to original state.
Best of Luck.
BTW, did you again flash in CDMA and DIAG mode?

it doesnt start at all.
i dont know how to enter emergency mode.
it doesnt hard reset or anything. it looks dead.
i flash in 3g and diag.

Pretty strange that nothing comes up.
Just to experiment, when you plug in the charger (AC) does the phone begin to charge (do you seen the battery indicator come up).
And hopefully someone more experience will turn up and help you. I really don't have much idea...
I think you will find this useful http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540-optimus-gt540-modaco-com/321895/faq-gt540-reference-thread/

Remove battery and leave it few hours without it. After that run KDZ_UPD, configure (i think 3gs, diag, select FW - look on some how-to) without battery plug USB and press vol down+home and power on and still hold untill recovery appear. Then still try connect via KDZ.
I hope, that it will wokrs.

i will try to keep the battery out for a few hours.
i've tried to connect without battery and keep the buttons to start but with no luck.
the phone looks dead!
how can i enter emergency mode?

Is it start? Or if you press power button, is something happened or dipslay of phone is just black? If so, then probably nothing will help and you will have to send it to warranty service.

absolutly nothing happens. no power at all. not even when i plug in the charger.
will lg fix it for me? it was bought on 15 december this year, it has 3 days.
can they see that i have tried to flash another rom?

well that is why I don't play around with the kdz updater.
everyone ends up with their phone bricked at some point.

Try to get in emergency mode back+up volume+power.
Tell me if it works.

it doesnt get in emergency mode.

I had same problem with mine P500.I was tried to update to v10d something went wrong I got some errors and after few more tries my phone was completely dead.I was lucky and my phone was changed by operator.
I did some research before carrying it back to operator and it seems that the only way to resurrect phone is JTAG.But how to do it i have no idea if it can be done at all.
You can find some info here wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=JTAG_for_Dream/Magic[/url

If emergency mode doesn't work....(wait for someone with more exp to post :/ )

Kdz updater working fine. I try 3 different fw and have no problem.

Since you were flashing with original LG firmware, they shouldn't raise much issue. Just don't tell them that you used the KDZ updater....
BTW did you try the CS_Emergency under Phone Mode in the KDZ updater.

also dont give them the guilty look

the phone is completly dead, not detected by computer, even when i plug it in without battery holding vol up+back. NOTHING.
i think i will not have a problem at warranty because i think that the mb is surged, they dont have how to see that i have flashed, an official rom after all.
now, shoul i take it to lg? or to the retail store?

If you have the TMo optimus T, use the V10L kdz file. The flashing utility has a force mode that WILL work even if the computer does not detect the phone. You just have to make sure that nothing else is plugged into the USB port, and that your phone will power up.
I've bricked my phone 3 times now fiddling with removing stuff from the LIB directory from the stock rom (stupid me) and have always been able to recover it.

KDZ updater?
I think it was. I'll have to dig out the file from my android stuff when I get home.
V10L_00.KDZ file and the english KDZ_FW_UP program.
the mode used was CS EMERGENCY.

Ok, pop me a msg, my last option to revive it, is sending it to LG
Did a conversion to original 2.2.2 V10q with KDZ and when turning on the phone, it didn;t turn on (as expected). Not responding at all. Power, button combination or some @#@# like that - not working. So, sent it to LG Service through VDF Romania 4 days ago and now i have a new PCB with new IMEI and a fully working P500. So, that was my solution for meddling with updaters, ROM's, etc. and forgetting to disable LGE Modem in Device Manager (it was late at night)

Not responding to power on

Hi Guys,
I'm guessing that there's nothing that can be done but last hope!
Last night i was trying to update my Gf's Optimus One with little success using KDZ, got to the point where it wouldnt boot, so flashed the original ROM back to it, during the process after a few minutes it gave an error code and the Flash was unsuccessful. Thought' id' reboot the phone into Emergency and try the flash again - it errored pretty much straight away - Pulled battery from phone - reinserted it and now nothing!
The phone will not respond to power on, USB insert, etc Just completely dead..
Im guessing i know the answer already - but is there anything that can bring this back from the dead.... Seriously in the Doghouse!
Cheers
Paul

I was trying to flash the original russian Gingerbread with LGMDP and there was a cable connection problem... I chose to erase all data before flashing (EFS Erase ALL). If only mobile devices had BIOS...
No hope, unfortunately. You have to connect your chipset to a computer and manually write all data... Or send to LG Service Center. Just hope they'll fix it for free... (They can't detect how you wiped device's boot loader if all the flash memory is empty)

Thanks for the links - i was working my way through the second one at 3am this morning.. Yes - i've even tried Shaking it
The P500 community has produced some wonderful guides and looking at it seems like the device is almost impossible to Brick completely, just how this happened i havn't a clue, seems ive managed the almost impossible..
I'd more than likely be able to ressurect it if it responded to anything at all - but no power, and nothing when the USB is inserted, no vibration, no lights, no signs of life...
the phone may be under warranty, but ive got to dig out the reciept - and i cant even begin to think where that is..
Well anyway i've had to buy her a replacement today - ended up with a Samsung Galaxy Mini as they dont stock the Optimus one anymore. Closest thing i could find.
Cheers for the help guys - i guess next effort will be warranty repair.
dude pls try uninstallin all the lg drivers usb etc etc and then try it again...it happend to me but ive still managed to ressurect it so try this and after send it to warranty

Go to the LG Service and say that you was playing game and it freezed , you was scare and pull the battery out ... and if LG service ask you about rom upgrading or rooting , or KDZ , you have to say to them that you don't know everything.... why you have to go to LG , because you was use KDZ to upgrade and that's stupid... KDZ is very dangerous...it broke your phone mainboard ( all thing inside your phone is mainboard ).....

Last week, I got in touch with root, recovery, custom ROMs and stuff aaaaand... then I got an error in KDZ and bricked my phone (stuck at emergency mode). For about 3 hours I had an expensive paper-weight. I just stayed calm (well, not THAT calm, but...) and after almost 3 hours of searching and trying all the possibilities of 'unbrick methods', I succeded.
Give us more details and you may not need specialized service to fix your phone.
- When you plugged your phone showing 'emergency mode', did your computer recognized it in some way?
(with 'recognized' I mean if Windows make a sound of 'device connected' and/or some lg modem appears on the device manager of Windows)
To me, it was recognized only after I removed the battery (thus making my phone in emergency mode turn off) and connecting the phone trough USB without battery. From this point, I just flashed a stock ROM with KDZ but, instead of selecting DIAG, I selected EMERGENCY.
If your phone gets recognized, remember to have the LG modem disabled like in any normal usage of KDZ
Now my phone is OK and I used KDZ many other times successfully.
(If you haven't seen already, it's very easy to find guides to unbrick the P500 - search this forum or google it).
If you're not sure you will be able to fix your phone anytime soon, keep it powered off to save the battery and give us more details about your problem, until you have in mind a possible solution.
You have a big chance of fixing your phone if it's only a software problem.

sadly, my phone is not recognized, it's nearly dead. Nothing happened when i touch every button.
It's very strange cause my last LG android phone, GW620, i used KDZ and LG utils to flash firmware almost every day but with P500, i just "update" and it turned to be a brick
So my o1 died? Can i do anything else before going to LG service center?

Charge the battery alternately
Try charging your O1's battery using other means. Like borrowing another O1 and charging your O1's battery using that. Then see whether your phone is responding in any way. If it is, I'm sure KDZ will help. Also see whether the USB port can be fixed. Otherwise, you'll be taking great risks again. All the best.

Are you (at least) still under warranty ?
if YES, go to LG and try to convince them that was an accident (during an update)...
or just try another battery of your friends, the KDZ method worked for me too .

[Q] Htc Nexus one hard bricked?

Hi there!
This thread is my last hope, so please dont let me down folks...:cyclops:
The story short - one sunny morning i turned on my HTC Nexus One and it got stuck with te X on the screen for about 15 minutes, non of the buttons responded, so i did the first thing that came in my mind - i pulled out the battery. After inserting the battery the phone went full brick, i mean literally, no reaction on anything, even conected to the wall charger, there is no sign of life, no charging LED, nothing. Connected to the PC, it says USB device not recognised.
I dont think this is a hardware proble, the phone workwd fine until this interrupted power on. Phone runned on stock Androud, i have not played aroun with it - no bootloader unlock, no rooting.
I searched the internet for a solution, tried a lot of button combinations like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but still no luck, i cannot restore or flash it while my PC does not recognise the phone.
Found some info about those Usb Jig things, but they work only on Samsung phones, so, is there a way to force the phone to go in recovery mode, or give any sign of life so i can try to recover it or flash a diferent ROM?
The warranty has ended, so no hope there.
Hope there is a way out of this, and, sory for my bad english. :good:

Well no, bricked is a term used when you are rooted and flash a bad rom,kernel,etc. You have no root, so you cannot be "bricked". Just a software failure, you cannot flash another rom because, again, you have no root or custom recovery. Your best bet is trying to send it back to your carrier and get it replaced

Now the screen may not show, but try booting into fastboot mode by press and hold the Trackball+Power buttons together.
I'm not sure about the nexus one, but newer nexus devices have factory images, supplied by Google. If they exist for the nexus one, you should be able to save your device by flashing them through fastboot. That is if the images exist and you can get to fastboot.
