So I went to flash to my cell using romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_Stock_Optimus. I got to step 15, and I realized I forgot to place the ROM in my sd card so I restarted the cellphone so I could place the ROM in my sd card, go to reboot to repeat the process and I get a screen that goes:
Fastboot mode started
gpio_i2c: invalid khz: 0
bl: i2c write error
udc_start()
--suspend--
--reset--
--portchange--
--reset--
--portchange--
fastboot: processing commands
Its a blue screen. I just want to flash this Any guides to get me out of this?

In the above guide replace optimus one recovery with optimus v.

Can someone post a link to a recovery file for my phone? You guys are the best.
I followed the above guide, and used the ROM here prepaidandroid.org/index.php?title=How_to_restore_your_Optimus_V_to_almost_original_condition
It reboots, and the same blue screen is up
My brother flashed the wrong recovery, I tried using the tutorial to fix it using fastboot.exe from windows, but it won't work as it can't find the device. windows sees an android device and I installed the drivers from lg, but it refuses to enumerate in adb shell, so I can't connect to it, any ideas?
okay after fiddleing with it a bit, I got the origional recovery mode restored on it, and when I boot into recovery and plug in usb adb can see the device, I have a stock froyo rom how do I restore from here, or can I reflash clockwork from here?

Can you get me to where you are? Step by step would be nice
Not sure what recovery files I need or ROM I need or anything, or how to use adb. I've been looking online for the past 3hrs on this stuff.

go to this page
this only works if you have some sort of custome recovery, My brother had the wrong one for the optimus v (clockworkmod 3.2.0.0) and it wouldn't install any rom.
I just played around with this page until I got the stock bootloader/recovery back, however I'm not sure if this is what we want, you may want to try flashing one of the custom recoveries listed on the site, now that I have the stock I can re-flash anything.

you need to get into a custom recovery, optimus v press back, volume up and power at the same time to boot into a recovery, if you don't have a recovery at all there maybe an issue. so try and boot into a recovery and let me know what you have.

Looking in my SD card I noticed I have a backup of the recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0-vm670 file. This anything helpful?

if you can't get into any recovery your device maybe permintally bricked, but don't take what I say as gospel I'm new at this as well, I'm still looking up more info, in the mean time you need to figure out how to get into recovery, google for key combos, also when using a key combo to get into recovery make sure power is the last button you press in the combo, hold down the others then power (while still holding the other buttons) and release as soon as you see the lg logo, it should go away quickly and after a few seconds of black you'll see the recovery, if the lg logo stays up for a while it's trying to normal boot.

I think if I can get adp to recognize this device I can fix it. Fastboot recognizes this, but adp doesn't. Is there a special adp driver maybe lol?
Got a little bit of progress....did a full system flash using fastbootroot and NVM OMG its fully booted! wow never thought I'd see the homescreen again...now to try to flash it again hahahaha
Now what verison of recovery and rom should I be looking at?

if you want to get aospCMod on your phone, follow this tutorial, this is what I did for my phone works great.
Now my question to you is how did you use fast boot root tool to get back to home screen because I'm still stuck at recovery
okay I finally managed to fix it, I figured out how to use fast boot root and got a custom recovery, from there I could flash other recoveries, which was importaint because even though I could install any rom I wanted it was stuck in a boot loop where it would keep booting into recovery, So i flashed Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip from here and under advanced it has an option to fix the boot loop, then from there I could flash a rom and it's fixed.
Lot of work fixin' my first bricked phone, but I learned alot.
Okay folks, I am at oss and need to know if I am just flat out screwed or if maybe, just
Maybe I might have a shot at storing my EVO 3d. I was running meanrom. Everything was running smoothly but I decided to give ViperROM a shot. So I d a wipe, rebooted into recovery and flashed ViperROM. Initially I thought everything had gone according to plan until I realized something was amiss when I attempted to start 4g. 4g wouldn't start. I did some looking into and came to tonclusion that because as far as I could tell because I had been running meanrom when I flashed viper the kernel no longer stock was not compatible with viper. So I started flash image GUI, found stockkernel.zip on my sd card and flashed or so I thought the stock kernel in hopes that after I did then the 4g would work on ViperROM. Well I was mistaken. When the phone rebooted, after the initial HTC screen rather than next seeing the ViperROM boot animation my screen went black. It remained there laughing at me till the phone automatically rebooted and then once again went to a darn black screen. It seems my phone is stuck in an endless loop. HTC screen, black scree reboot, HTC... Ect. I then booted into recovery wiped again and tried to then just reinstall meanrom. Well, according twrp recovery the installation went smoothly but after HTC screen, my phone goes straight to black screen. Ive tried various variations of reinstallations and nothing has worked so far. Am I stuck like this or is there something that can be done. Any pointers or suggestions would be more than appreciated

Your phone is alright and working , dont worry.
..............................................................................
I am assuming you are unlocked via htcdev.com .
Follow the steps:
Copy the img file of the recovery you are using to the fastboot/adb folder (folder which you have used to unlock the bootloader).
1.Now boot your phone in bootloader
2.Select Fastboot and connect to PC.(phone should say "fastboot-usb")
3.now open command prompt and navigate to your fastboot folder.
4.Type "fastboot boot <recovery name>.img". Your recovery should boot now.
5.Wipe everything , and install any ROM you want.
6.Then reboot your phone as normal and your problem should be solved.
7.If you get stuck at HTC screen or that black screen , just open the zip file of the ROM that you've just flashed and copy the boot.img file to your fastboot/adb folder > then boot your phone into bootloader > select fastboot > connect to PC > in command prompt type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" > then reboot.
Hope this helps........
Did you make a nand backup before you flashed vipers rom? Or do what he said ^^^^^^^
Did you look in the meanrom folder on ur SD card. Inside of there is the stock kernel. Second try to flash cleanROM and see if that helps. And if that doesn't work, look for the modifiedsuperwipe.zip. if all else fails..... I had the boot loop a while a go. All I did was flash the modifiedsuperwipe.zip and then flashed the ROM of choice and i was good to go. Hope this helps a lil
I'm stumped
So I did the modified wipe. I thought it was going to be smooth sailing well, I plugged in the phone and went to fast boot tried sending my phone a command line but it hangs on waiting for device. So now I'm stuck wondering wtf. No go on fastboot commands for now that is unless someone has an idea on that. Is there a way to perhaps browse root from recovery and transfer the boot image from my sd card to the folder in needs to. Go to? Or can I mount as a usb storage device and move the boot.img file to where it needs to go from the computer. I'm so desperate to fix this issue without surrendering to defeat and bringing it somewhere for someone else to do it. Hell I probably can't afford it if I have to. Whelp, if you have any thoughts I'm grateful. Thanks for the assistance thus far fellas. When bootloader loads it says I believe loading PG86DIAG.zip no image found if that means any more to any of you. I also tried reinstalling meanrom. I booted into recovery via hold power +. Volume up then choose recovery. Twrp loads. Choose meanrom zip flash image. According to twrp this goes down swell with not a problem but when I boot to system still I get the black screen. It mocks me still.
oh yes. Probably worth mentioning. Today I was working from a bit installation of windows. It was a pain on the as o get the adb drivers workingnet but finally found something called pdapal installed it and it got things squared away or so I thought on the windows drivers side of things. So in device manager there are no errors and it says the android device is working properly now alert symbols over the driver or anything but still can't get the phone to accept fastboot commands.

Thanks
I've got twrp flashed fine. However my phone won't respond to commands while in fastboot from the command prompt. It says waiting for device and never responds. Is there a possibility that usb debugging is not working. Is there a way to the? this on from recovery if you needed. I'm not nt intimidated by advanced procedures Im an analyst programmer and am stuck doing super boring things most of the day. I can't believe I'm being thrown a curve ball like this. I'm definitely humbled. Just saying that anything you throw out there Ide be willing to give a shot at this point.

could be the abd drivers are not on your pc for your phone the reason i said to get ext4 recovery is you can flash kernels now you still cant do that with twrp but with your phone plunged in, in fastboot go to my computer right click propertys go to hardware tab click device manager and look for a question mark that says android phone if it is their you need the drivers
hope i helped you out

Are you sure you are accessing fastboot from bootloader ? By your words, it seems like you are checking fast boot in settings> power
Does the bootloader say fastboot-usb? If not select it and press power.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
Still Trying
Yeah, I'm definitely in fastboot through bootloader. Yes it says fastboot usb. I think despite the fact that it says drivers are installed properly in device manager there might still be some kind of driver issue. I'm away from home and don't have access to. My usual computers? I'm stuck on an installation of windows 7 64bit. Originally I was having issues getting the right drivers installed and so I installed pda net and that seemed to solve the issue in device manager but I'm still having issues. If there's some recovery I could flash which would allow me toove boot.img to the right path manually that might be a way I could solve this. Hell, I'll give anything a try. So that's where I am so far. Any advice on what I might be doing wrong or where I might go from here?
hboot 1.5 s-on
I've got the same specs as you save the rom and kernel. @ itzloltraim.
I did try flashing clockwork mod using rom manager before my phone started having issues but even though rom manager said it flashed when I booted to recovery next twrp was still there. Is there somewhere I can download a flashable zip from? I couldn't find one last time I looked. From what I remember the Dev Site Links to rommanager to get it. If you have a link that would be a help.

That plus what is he doing rooting or trying to flash a recovery?
Yea, I have the same problem...
I was running MeanROM4.1 with the dodava kernel. Being an idiot I flashed the new Anthrax kernel and now my phone gives me a black screen. When the phone starts up, theres no lock ring. Ive been trying to flash another kernel but i dont seem to be doing it properly. im using 4ext as recovery.
Im currently performing a Superwipe then factory reset. Ill reply with my findings. Good thing I backed up at MeanROM3.91, but if I cant get my screen to work...shall I assume bricked?
**problem solved. I flashed a kernel using the fastboot method. Someone posted it and it worked fine for me.**
so, my HTC Evo 3D is bricked, I think. I was bored last night at work and I was moving some apps to my sd card. One of the apps I moved was Plume for Twitter. When I launched Plume, it told me I had to restart my phone for the notification settings to be applied. So I did. It booted up fine but when I turned my screen off when I was done with work, the screen wouldn't unlock. There was just the notification bar and my wallpaper. I couldn't hit any buttons, or slide the notification bar down. I tried calling my phone from work but it just said missed call from work. It boots into bootloader and adb is working. I am downloading PG86IMG.zip now and I'm going to try to flash that unless someone else has a better idea what to do. Can someone please help?
Thanks in advance!

I tried restoring from a backup. I tried factory resetting also. And now its just bringing me to the white HTC screen and not getting any farther. I'm on HBOOT 1.5 and I've been using HTCDumLock to flash roms. Should I just do it the old fashioned way and flash the PG.zip using fastboot?
Have you tried flashing the rom then reboot to recovery via fastboot then flash the kernel. Or flashing the boot partition???

I tried that. But now when I try to copy over the PG.zip file it says I don't have enough space on my SD card so I deleted some things that I don't need and its still saying it. I tried flashing the rom I had before it, and all it says is unable to unzip.
Back up your sd. The format it and restore the default partitions. Then try it.

Flash the Boot.img
you might have a "softbrick" on your hands.. An easy way to fix it is to extract the Boot.img from your current custom rom and then flash it using fastboot like so:
Be sure to cd/ to the location of the boot.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
then Fastboot boot boot.img to restart
Somewhere along the lines you might have accidentaly tried to boot the wrong rom on the wrong boot.img.
Sorry if this doesn't help...

yeah a buddy of mine said I soft bricked it. I'm not quite sure what that means but he's going to look at it and hope to get it back in working order so I don't have to use this awful phone (samsung moment)
Dear all,
Here is the situation. I decided to root my evo 3d gsm (hboot 1.5++) today, and all went well until I flashed a rom (virtuous). Now whenever I boot on the phone, it shows me this "V" logo and loads for more than 10minutes or so. I can go into my bootloader, but when I attempt to do anything from my clockworkmod recovery, when I press the power button to select different options, I get blank menus and I can attempt nothing. I am an unexperienced user, and can anyone out there who is experience render some assistance? I am at my wits end...
Thanks
Well I'm not too familier with the gsm version... the "V", is that part of the boot animation? and does it just loop over and over? maybe try reflashing clockworkmod and re wipe and install?

The "V" is the part of the boot animation. And the "V" just glows again and again, yeah so i guess it loops. Why I am so worried is because I saw a window of my HTC sense booting to life earlier on, but I saw the words "Unfortunately... has... crashed..." but it was very brief, and after which the animation began again. Is it because I waited for too short a period of time? (around 15 minutes or so) or because it really boot looped? And how do I reflash clockwordmod when I can't access my phone and sd card? Will appreciate your kind help...
I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for something too boot, and it should really never take longer than that. Can you tell me the steps you took to flash the rom(not to root it). and could you give some more info about your phone? are you s-on or s-off? And what do you mean by blank menus in clockwork mod? Do you know how to boot into your hboot menu? from there you can boot to fastboot and install the recovery from your pc. connect your phone to the pc while in fastboot mode and get your recovery.img file and type the following command from the command line:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img

Ok, here is the infomation. I live in Singapore, which is a part of Southeast Asia, my phone is the GSM version with HBoot 1.530007(i cant remember the decimal placing).
I firstly used HTCDEV to unlock my bootloader, which went well, then I went to evohacks to get the conventional rooting method, which went well too. And it all came when I was careless, and I accidentally forgot to wipe the data and cache of my evo before i flashed the rom. And now it gets stuck in the "V" logo loading phase. If the hboot menu is the menu where I have to press the powerbutton and the volume down button then yes. I can also get into my recovery, but the problem is that it shows a blank menu in (clockwordmod specifically), thus rendering whatever me helpless. i have downloaded the PG86IMG.zip and Im waiting for it to finish. So how do I go about solving this matter? This phone is my only asset and I really want to save it...
Blank menu as in for example when I click "Reboot", or "Factory Reset" or perhaps "Restore" in the CWD Recovery, it just shows me a blank menu with the CWD logo in the background, with no options or drop down words or whatsoever. And the sad thing is that I did not make any recoveries at all.... So I plucked my sd card out, and now im waiting to finish downloading the PG86IMG.zip to put on my sd and into my phone, and flash it to revert it back to stock and stuff..... I hope this works
Ok, well as long as you can get to either hboot or recovery you'll be ok. I would recommend flashing 4ext recovery, as it has never failed me and seems to help others. here is the link to it. Download that and pull the recovery.img out and flash that from your pc with the command I gave above. It sounds like you are either pushing the wrong button in the recovery or it might just be messing up for some reason. Is it the touchscreen version of clockworkmod?

The recovery is the free version, so it shouldn't be the touch one. May I ask, what do you mean by recovery.img? I emptied my SD card so that I can put the PG86IMG.zip into it later. Any more specific steps you can give? Sorry but Im really a newb in the android world

The recovery.img is the image that the phone flashes to install the recovery. If you look in the zip I posted in the link you'll see that file in there. the one I posted is the 4ext touch recovery. you can manually flash that file to your phone in case you can't get it to boot(like your case). I would suggest trying the 4ext recovery I linked, or maybe try to boot to recovery again and see if its touch based. Were the menus working when you flashed the virtuous rom, and then it stopped working?
OH stupid me. Whoops. Actually I CAN navigate. Ive been pressing the wrong button all this while. I pressed the power instead of the camera, which is the select button. Whoops. seems like CMD was working after all. sorry...
ok but still, can I just attempt to install the RUU file I downloaded in the CWD menu? Will it work? Will my phone be reverted back to its original unrooted state? I saw someone say it could...
There is something bugging me though. My SD card is now completely empty. Will it have any negative effects on what i do?
I thought something like that was happening, glad you got it sorted. Try to wipe everything and reinstall your virtious rom again first. yes the PG86IMG.zip will return you back to complete stock, recovery and all. So if you do that you might have to re-root all over again.

no it won't.
thank you so much! So since now everything is clean, you recommend another shot at the virtous? I just drag it and put it in my sd card right? Neat! Will go try, if i encounter another problem will come back here. Thanks a lot! It really means a lot to me!

I would recommend trying it before you go back to stock just to re-do it all, but its up to you. yeah if you need more help just come here or pm me. glad you got it working again!
Thank You!
Oh ok! I thought by clearing the data using recovery on the phone and sd will render the root useless. Will try redoing it again. Will update you on the further details
Many thanks!

If you only wipe /data/ you will still have root. sdcard doesn't matter.

So theoretically flashing the ROM shouldn't take more than... around 15 minutes?
correct
Its now 10 minutes and so far my phone had made 2 major vibrations. So if this doesn't work, can i just wipe all the data again, put the PG86IMG.zip in my phone, go to recovery to install it, and then I just press reboot right?

Sometimes sense roms can take a bit, but if its vibrating than it should be working. if not just put the PG86IMG.zip on the root of your sdcard and boot into hboot and let it do its thing. no need to wipe data for that.
Hello guys, it's me again.
This time i wanted to try out flashing boot.img's. Something went horribly wrong, and whenever i try to reboot my device, it ends up in recovery mode (TWRP for Rockchip's).
Also, when i do click reboot, it says "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?". I swipe, then it shows something about installing SU.
But when it does, it just shows my manufacturer (meanIT)'s logo and goes directly into recovery.
I have just two questions:
Is it repairable?
Is my OS really deleted or is it just softbricked or something?
I'm starting to feel desperate, cause i'm not a pro at flashing, i could be called semi-noob.
Additional info:
Device: meanIT M754 Promise 7", Rockchip 3026.
Bootloader access: No.
Bootloader unlocked: No.
Recovery: TWRP v2.7.0.0 modified for Rockchip's.
Recovery access: Yes.
Thanks for support.
Did you make a nandroid backup before attempting to install a new kernel? If not...shame. LoL If so, just restore that and reboot. If you didn't, then you should be able to adb push a rom zip to your phone via adb in recovery - or if you have an SD card then put it on there. Worst case scenario, you can just the flash tool to restore your phone if you can find the stock files.

Nope, i didn't backup, unfortunately. I'll try the adb method. Thanks!
+1 Thanks
Always always always make a backup whenever messing with kernels or major changes to the /system. You probably figured that out by now, but can't be stressed enough. Good luck.
I found a rom and tried to flash it.
When it flashed, i rebooted the tablet.
But...now it's stuck at meanIT boot logo screen. (not bootloop, it's just that boot logo shows up and disappears in snow).
I can't even access recovery anymore. I try to push the Power button for 5 secs to shut it down, but it powers up to the boot logo again. And so again and again, and again. Like a...bootlogoloop? lol.
Something went horribly wrong. :I
Update: It finally dies after the battery is drained.
Can anyone tell me what to do? (e.g. buy a new tablet, some repair advice, anything?) I'd be thankful. A lot.
Seriously? No one?
Are you able to get into fastboot? If so, you could try flashing your custom recovery image again.

Nope, but i played around with the buttons, trying every combination. Turns out i can force shutdown the bootloop and enter recovery mode by holding Power and VolUp while the bootloop. The only problem is, roms hard to find, man. But i found one which might seem to work so i'll try.
Sorry for bothering guys. I'm kind of a noob here, so excuse me if i turn out stupid.
No hope so far
So basically i tried everything except flashing a rkimage from sd card (don't have one big enough for the firmware).
Because i just found out there is a way to install Windows 8 on good working tablets, but i don't have money by the hand at the moment to buy a new one. I seriously don't know what to do anymore. I think it's either softbrick or just recovery loop.
