Hey guys, I'm in need of some help.
Long story short, my friend has an lg optimus s that has a corrupted recovery that doesn't seem to want to be fixed by being flashed over. When I try to boot into recovery mode, the screen is just dark.
Any tips on how this might be solved? I've looked everywhere and I haven't found a good solution.
I've tried flashing a new image using terminal, but no luck with that. I still keep getting the blank screen.
I'm not sure what info is useful, but I know the phone is rooted. If there's anything else you need to know, I'll see if I can figure it out and report back.
Thanks so much

Hey guys.
I'll try keep it short but detailed. Here goes!
I got my replacement phone back today from insurance.
I used the Ace hack kit to root my phone, half way through rooting my USB messed up and now the Ace Hack Kit doesn't recognize it.
Now when I boot, the T-mobile logo comes on. Then fades into a greeny black colour.
I have downloaded loads of RUU's and they get stuck on the 'sending...' stage.
My phone is not and never has been rooted.
I can only boot into bootloader or Hboot or fastboot. Recovery causes it to get stuck.
I need a way of reinstalling the stock data from fastboot. When trying to flash with fastboot, it just doesn't move and gets stuck. on 'sending'
I don't know why
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it greatly. Please also look at my video if it helps.

Hello everyone,
I've searched everywhere I can think of to figure out how to solve my problem, and I assume the answer is hiding in an obscure part of an earlier thread on these fora. I was able to root my L9 P760 running Android 4.1(Jelly Bean) and from there naively assumed I could flash the recovery using ClockworkMod. After rebooting I've been getting the infamous "Security Error" screen. I've been able to get the "S/W Upgrade" screen, but that's as far as I got. I believe this means the bootloader is locked.
I followed a lot of instructions I found including using fastboot via omap4boot(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2119090) and the offline kdz flash(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344), but without luck. Fastboot would cause the phone to reboot, losing the "S/W Upgrade" screen and the kdz method would stall at 4%, leading me to find out that the phone needs to be in the "LG Update" USB mode, which I can't achieve because it won't boot.
I have two Macs running OS X 10.7 which can dual-boot into Windows 7. All software is up to date. I have experience using the command-line.
I hope there's a solution to this, and I hope that posting this here can help others avoid this problem in future.
Thanks in advance,
Pieter
Edit: I finally managed to flash a stock version of recovery, the x-loader and u-boot for Jelly Bean using the fastboot script from here. For those in a similar situation, I set the driver for the OMAP4xxx device which goes under TI devices(or something like that) and then I had to set the driver for a device called LG P4(or something, I didn't take a screenshot). I was then able to use the stock LG Mobile Support Tool, via the "Recovery Phone" option, to restore the newest version. However, it still won't boot properly. I get the LG logo when turning it on, and then the animation with the LG logo with the shiny effect on the smiley face keeps running in a loop. Is this the boot loop problem I've seen people asking about? How do I access recovery(and would that accomplish anything)? Any help would be appreciated.
Edit 2: I think I fixed it! I'm just documenting what I did to be helpful to other people. I had tried to do a hard reset earlier, but it didn't work. I tried it just now, and it worked, I got an droid with a progress bar underneath. Then it booted, and I heard the startup sound which I didn't know I was missing. I would still like to know in detail what I did wrong, and what I did right, and why it was right. Thanks in advance.
Simple, you probably did nothing wrong. Things just happen. I had this happen to me once. Security Error
However, I didn't install a custom rom or recovery img. All I did was flash a different kdz version (for my device). So my guess is that the boot img or other img, got corrupted.
I fixed my issue by flashing x, u, boot, recovery all in fastboot. Then I ran the flash update program again and it worked

How do you brick your phone. Did you try to hard reset it? Did you try offline flash or LG mobile support tool to recover your phone?
Phone Info: AT&T Galaxy S3, Cyanogenmod 10.2
So, I was messing around, trying to get the WiFi to work on my phone when I tried a solution I found on the forums: updating one of the files involving the radio. After flashing the file, my phone shut off and opened in Download mode. Now I can't leave download mode, can't enter recovery mode, and can't boot my phone. Oh, and my computer can't recognize the phone either. I've searched for hours looking for a solution and I'm freaking out. I seriously need some help with this.
Basically it says:
Could not do normal mode
Odin Mode
Phone Model, etc.
I really don't care how its done, what ROM I end up with, or anything else. I just need this phone to be able to work properly again. Thanks for any help!
I think it's emmc sds

That's sudden death syndrome right? Is there any good fix for it or way to get it replaced despite it being rooted and the ROM changed? (I did know that going into rooting might cause problems like this, just hopeful that there's a way)
Edit: If there's a way to get the phone to be recognized by a computer; I can still access download mode and would have no problem doing a full restore from there. I've tried installing drivers for the phone, it seems like the phone is unable to be recognized by any computer I try also.
Finally did get Recovery Mode to work. Don't know if that can help much

add a screenshot of recovery mod,download mod
SDS is when the phone is completely dead, doesn't boot at all.
You are posting in the wrong forum, this is for the i9300 only.
If you've flashed a file meant for another phone then you have probably hard bricked it.
If download mode doesn't connect to pc then you need a repair centre.

Solved the issue! So I managed to load my original ROM file onto my external SD and install it from recovery. For anyone else who has this problem, I just loaded the zip file onto the SD, stuck it in my phone, powered off and clicked Volume Up Home and Power to get into recovery, (phone specific for Gs3 on getting to recovery) and went to install from zip and installed the file. Problem solved for me, although it did wipe all the data which isnt a big deal really. Phew. That was a scare. And it fixed my WiFi problem, so all in all a good learning experience for me
Anyhow, thanks for all the help, I appreciate it! And sorry for hitting up the wrong forum, its my first time on it.
Thanks again!

Hi all,
NOOB here. I have TMAX TM9S775 that will not factory reset. I am trying to do this because the device will not boot anymore. It just goes to the initial screen and hangs. I have learned how to get to the screen where I can choose to wipe and format the device. However, it just stalls. Pic attached. Is there anything else I can do to get this to work. Different image, root, anything just so I can use it. Thanks
Hey, I'm in the same boat as you, there is another thread on XDA that we talked about it, but maybe we can get a better discussion here. I'm happy to try to root this thing, but don't know where to start. I'm even thinking on resorting to emailing tmax again and see if they are more willing to help... Wish they'd just release a img file so I could flash that...
I have been reading everything I can find and tried to figure it out myself but the more I read the more questions I have and the less sure I am about trying any of the things I have read.
My problem is with an lg tribute from the company called Textnow. My friend ordered the phone from them and was having some issue she decided to try to fix by doing a factory reset which caused it to be stuck on the Lg boot logo. I tried booting to recovery to fix it. The recovery was TWRP. I was under the impression that Twrp was a custom recovery program that was installed after unlocking boot loader. Best I can tell is the phone was already rooted by the company. Does this sound right?
I messed with it for while but couldn't get anywhere with it because I haven't any knowledge of rooting except what I read . I noticed it kept saying something about simulating actions and figured that out but now after trying to back up and restore and poking around that it says there is no os , I was hoping someone could help me figure out where to go from here as it isn't my phone and I would hate to damage it although my friend keeps telling me to just try whatever no big loss because she can't use it like it is so.
I am not sure what the phone had for firmware because I cant get it on. I only know that it had twrp 2.8.5.0 as recover not the usual android. I can access the phone internal and external through twrp and though pc and adb. I made sure to get drivers updated. I tried to flash the stock rom from its forum but it failed,. any info would be mush appreciated
