looking 4 d same
i heard that if you plug it into kies, you can somehow download a file that automatically factory resets your phone, probably designed for when this happens. Maybe you could try looking around on there or something? (i cant confirm it as my phones cm)
Ok so i had rom manager and my device wouldnt show up , so what i did was where it says clockwork recovery i clicked dell streak model , then it said installed successfully so i thought oh ! Great! But then what happened was when i rebooted my device it doesnt power on at all , please help me!!!!!!!
notes
also , i have a backup of my phone clockwork recovery on sd card.
Aaaaaah! Shouldn't have done that, didn't it seem kinda obvious?
But anyway, if you can't power on in download/any way at all, looks like you'll have to send it to samsung repair

vol down +home + power , vol down + middle button + power . i have also tried using usb and holding vol down, home , power and then putting battery in.

he cant power it up in download mode...
yes it doesnt power up , but if you tell me some ways to try and boot up then i will be able to flash it back.
i didnt think flashing the wrong recovery would brick a phone?
some ideas:

volume down, then center key, then power. Make sure your not letting go after pressing them in that order... Order is important if you were doing power, center then volume down it will not work in that order.

Something else is wrong. If you tried installing wrong recovery it should of just said on your phone screen installation aborted. Have a go at this. I take it you still have odin installed on your pc right.
Press and hold vol down. Then press centre and power at the same time and hold down. It only takes a few seconds for a yellow triangle to appear with downloading written on the screen. You do not need to have the usb plugged in at this moment.

Man..ur can only be done right by odin....so for going to download mode...turn off the mobile pick out the battery put it again .....and press vol. Down+centre selection button(not home or android button)+power on key....and after 2 sec u will be their....and try to press the button in the order as i posted.....say if it helps...

If you cant get it on download mode then i would say you bricked your phone,, you will probally be charged by samsung as they dont condone tampering with custom roms or recovery and there will be traces if they manage to power it on, it might be cheaper for you to just buy another phone, and leave it alone, but am still sorry to hear you cant get your phone working, good luck..

So what did you do? Any updates? The exact same thing happened to me too
None of the key combinations will work, because your phone's arm11boot partition is now corrupt. That's really bad, because it's responsible for phone charging/download mode etc.
You need to get it repaired.
Please guys, *never* install ClockworkMod that's intended for another device. With other models you can get lucky and find a working build, but you have an extremely high risk of permanently bricking with Samsung models.
I did this exact same thing and ended up buying a Galaxy Ace. I'll still try and fix my Galaxy 5 though. I selected Huewai Pulse from the list. Bad move =(

LG Intuition root information
Hello to all, I receive my phone on monday, and im coming from a rooted/rom/oc'ed Samsung Infuse 4g, Xoom, SII, and countless cheap tablets all tweaked so I cant wait to get into the guts of this phone but first I need root. Im no dev or coder but definetly not a noob so hopefully somebody takes the file im gonna upload and see if it actually works. Searching by the Japanese name of Optimus Vu p895 I found a "one click'' root for the phone that im gonna post. They also claim to have the bootloader unlocked also to have a custom recovery like CWM but I havent found anything yet about that. I hope the dev's and rom guys get to this phone because to me it looks like the perfect pocket powerhouse imo.
THIS IS MEANT FOR DEV'S OR THE CURIOUS TO SEE IF IT WORKS. ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE IS NOT MY FAULT.
This site was found by a simple google search, and the "super one-click" is meant for Android 2.3.5, hopefully one of you guys can make it work for 4.0.4 I dont get my phone til monday after thanksgiving so ill try it myself then.
the file is not uploading so the site is ninjaromeo . com /root-lg-optimus-vu-p895/
LG Intuition Root VIDEO Instruction
Performed a google search, with zero results found. Wondering if anyone has the ability to create a youtube step by step root instruction (for not so secure rooters), like myself. I have rooted four other devices but with each I had a video to refer too.
Thank You!

Yeah, no worries. How much do you know about development? I am not new to rooting, but I was so excited about removing bloatware that I removed a little too much and now I'm probably going to have send mine in for warranty. Any chance you know how to pull a system .img so I could reflash mine??? lol
I'll PM you just in case you dont see this.
Yeah I heard that if you remove a certain "bloatware " app it activates another verizon lock app, and once the phone is turned off it locks the phone up. I completly removed all verizon apps and the "lockout" so hopefully i wont have the that problem.
But ive flashed many other devices but i dont know how to put up the system image. It cant be that difficult, im gonna google and youtube it to find out how. I believe there is another thread on xda with the lg intuition system image also. But ill try to get that to you tonight if possible. One quick question....once you have the image how are you gonna flash it?, i thought the bootloader was locked, or is there a program like odin for LG?

Yeah, I'm luckily not locked out of the phone, but it would be nice to have a clean install. The boot loader is locked, and to my knowledge there is no Odin like program, but I was able to pull my .IMG a while ago. I'm hoping I can just push a clean .IMG, hard reset and call it good. I'll check when I get home to see if I can find how I did it.
Update: phone died...charged it up....turned on... received a security error. I deleted Verizon apps or something that triggered this. I returned the phone and within an hour rooted the new one without touching the Verizon apps.
This is not something new with LG phones I'm hearing. But if you go to developer options and turn on CPU stats it annoying to me that the phone is constantly sending messages to LG and Verizon servers and basically going ape**** in the background. So until the bootloader gets unlocked and a Rom is available I'm going with droidwall as a firewall and stock root. I wouldn't touch the Verizon apps or even quarantine IMO.

I finally got mine done. Went with a one click option that I found on youtube. It truly was a one click (well actually two) and it immediately gave me root priv. At any rate, download Titanium and then "freeze" the bloatware that you don't want. This way also prevents them from hogging cache and RAM. But, it doesn't trigger the commie Verizon bootloader locks. As of yet, ODIN does not support this device, but gooManager does. Haven't tried to flash yet, but it's downloaded and just sitting there....I'm afraid to pull the trigger. I wish I could remember the link...I typed "how to root android 4.0.4" and it was like the third or fourth option. I tried and tried and tried JCase's method, but got caught in the shell because it wouldn't verify lgroot.sh file was in place. It was. Looking forward to developing. Im in IT in college as a non-trad so expect a lot of questions you guys.

LG intuition Root 4.04 Help!
Can someone help me root my LG VS950 its been updated to 4.04 and I can't get it rooted using Bin4ry or Jcase suggestions so for... Others said it works with the 4.04 update, I just can't figure out what I may be doing wrong... when it gets to the reboot part and ask me to hit restore it starts and stops I about 5 seconds and nothing happens.. I added a pic of what it said when I tried to root using bin4ry method.. hopefully one of you can decipher this for me and help me find a solution...
P.S. and to be clear what USB connection type do I select (MTP, PTP, Internet Connection, or Charging) after I turn debugging mode on. and do I need to factory reset before I root?
Any other minor tid-bits would also be helpfull thanks..
Thanks in advance!
Here is how you fix it.
Power up the phone holding Power, Volume Up and Volume Down until Download Mode appears on the phone.
Connect the phone with the usb cable to the computer.
Use the LGMobile Support Tool and go to Customer Support -> Recovery Phone.
Follow the onscreen instructions from there.
This will download and reload your phone. Takes about 30 minutes total. All data will be lost.
Hopes this helps people.

Does this have anything to do with rooting the phone? Your response was @ no one in particular so i wanted to be sure before followed your directions
This is when you root it and you delete bloatware that it doesnt like. When the phone restarts and it shows that there is a Security Error, Can not find morningcall meaning a soft brick. The method that I gave gets your phone back up and running. It does wipe the phone so be prepared.
It shows the device connected and then I get an error when it is checking the information. It validates the esn, cell phone number, then right before it errors out it says its looking for LG PC-sync software. All drivers are installed. Any ideas?
I successfully got mine rooted but Bricked on restart due to Vz security software. I posted Step by Step restore in case of brick.

This method just does not want to work for me......I chose all rooting options and it keeps saying it can't mount, and file does not exist. I will try to post a screen shot when I get home but it is very similar to Peter Bishop but I am not even getting the prompt to add busy box, it says "confirm backup", "confirm restore", and then reboots and says it is done....but Root Checker says the device is not rooted. I am trying this on V31 of the root program.
Here is what is hangs on:
Device type:
1) New Standard-Root <thx Ariel Berkman>
2) New Xperia Root by Goroh_jun <Xperia Z, XperiaV [JellyBean] ...>
3) Old
4) Old-Special <for example: Sony Tablet S, Medion Lifetab>
G) Google Glass Mode <thx Saurik for the ab file>
x) Unroot

Hi everyone,
i have an xperia p with stock JB on it, i never used a password for the screen lock but half an hour ago i decided to protect it with a password, so i entered it twice to set it up, after that i tried to unlock the phone and it unlocked ... After that whenever i try to unlock it and enter the password it just says sorry try again, like when you type it wrong :S
I donßt know if it is possible that i set it up wrong 2 times and the third time when it unlocked or if it is another problem :/
There is no option "Forgot password" or something to reset it, and whenever i attemt to unlock it after 5,10,15 times i just need to wait :/
I tried turning of the phone, tried also to hold volume up + unlock button till it vibrates 3 times but still the same :/
I need help here please as fast as possible, the phone is like i said on stock .400 JB with the sliding xp kernel 8.1.1, it is ROOTED and the bootloader is unlocked, thanks everyone in advance
P.S. i know i can factory reset it in CWM but that is not an option for me :/

I have tried that, in the xperia p the battery can not be removed but when you hold the volume up + unlock button for some seconds it vibrates 3 times and then it is like when you remove the battery ....
and the xperia p shows up in windows explorer but when i open it it doesnßt show the storages :/ Also i donßt know why the usb mount in cwm is not working :/
After i instal the android sdk what else do i need to install? I forgot it because it is a long time since i installed it on my home PC and now that i am not home i need to install everything here on this pc...
hey everyone,
i have managed to unlock my phone
For thoose who have this problem here is what i did :
Because i couldnt transfer any files by any way on my phone (i think it is because it was locked), i went first to cwm, made a nandroid backup, then i did factory reset7wipe data and after that i could open all files and folders in windows
Then i transfered the nandroid backup to my pc, opened the file "data.ext4.tar.a" in 7zip (winrar wont work because you cant delete the files direclty), i went to the subfolder "system" deleted 2 files, i dont know now the exact names but one is something gesture.key and the other is password/something, then you need to open the MD5 file in notepad and delete all the text and save the file, after that i copied the modified backup to my phone, went into cwm did a restore and the phone works without the password lock
Nice! Glad it was fixed
Ok, where to begin. so i rooted my phone fine. i was trying to attempt to apply some hacks to swap external sdcard with internal but everything said i have to change my bootloader. rooted fine with some Chinese program. i tried rom toolkit for the bootloader unlocker. reboots, but nothing. so i found an APK file that you run on the phone itself, that you hit an unlock button and it reboots. it said it supported my model etc. but now when i turn it on it goes past the MetroPCS screen into a white screen with "Encrypting" and a button saying "Reset Phone". then an error pops up that says "com.android.phone has stopped" then it sits there forever.
Well, i did figure out that if you let the battery die down a warning message pops up like normal warning of low battery. it gives options to hit OK or Battery Use. if i hit battery use it takes me into the settings menu. i can change anything from there. i tried a factory reset from there and nothing. i tried hard reset [buttons] and nothing. i tried flashing the 10B_00.kdz using AIO Toolkit and it fails saying my phone isn't connected. so oi go back into settings and enable debug etc etc, reboot and then try....same failure. doesnt recognize. i uninstalled and reinstalled pc suite, LGUnited mobile drivers......nothing nothing nothing. i have seen others with same issue and they end up recovering....but not me. am i supposed to flash 10B kdz? that's what my settings say i have. LGMSP76910b or something like that. all firmware sites the p769 model is TMOBILE....can i try flashing a tmobile kdz for my phone and it NOT mess up my metro service? i have tried the update tool....nothing.
My wife has been threatening to kill me so please help. i can only say "Woman! get your ass back in the kitchen and make me a sammich!" a few more times before she realizes all she has to do is whop me over the head with a pan....or broom.....or my broken LG Optimus.....help.

My wife has been threatening to kill me so please help. i can only say "Woman! get your ass back in the kitchen and make me a sammich!" a few more times before she realizes all she has to do is whop me over the head with a pan....or broom.....or my broken LG Optimus.....help.

You performed the online restore method.
In order to get the offline flash to work, you need to use the unofficial fastboot and restore an ice cream (p769) x-loader & u-boot. Then perform the offline flash.
There is a problem with jellybeans x & u, and performing the s/w upgrade starting from a cold boot.
The only way for the offline flash flash to work and still be on a jellybean (x-loader & u-boot) the phone must be operating properly and turned on normally (plus it needs to be in the lg software mode).
Finding this information is not easy, because the main sticky threads are out dated.
I've posted this information so many times. I'm like a broken record.

Here's the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2221245&d=1377786261
Remove any changes to your windows host file (if you don't know what I'm talking about disregard)
Setup the program put your phone in s/w mode (hold vol + then enter the USB cable into your computer). Enter the information and wait a really long time.
Please don't do anything else while performing the restore. Also make sure your computer doesn't go to sleep during the whole process.

So I'm having the same issues as OP and this is apparently the only thread on the internet where anyone is experiencing this issue. MetroPCS 769 running JB. The phone POSTs and gets to the metroPCS carrier screen but goes to a white screen that just says "encrypting" with a blank progress bar, and that one app crashing. Every other reboot I get the Android recovery screen with the robot and a progress bar, and it reboots back to the "Encryping" screen. I can't even force the phone into a recovery or factory reset mode.
When I run the LG software updater, it says the software on my phone is up to date. There's a menu item for "Download recovery" which detects my phone, and acts like it's downloading something but never finishes. Any idea on how to proceed from here?

I assumed it would but at this point it's been going for ~14 hours with the "Time Elapsed" stuck at 13 seconds.
Guess I'll just let it sit some more.
