***UNLOCKED***
SHOOTER XC SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.50.0000
eMMC-boot
Hey guys, I recently acquired an EVO 3D in a trade deal and even though I don't want it (I plan on selling it but the cash deal + EVO 3D was worthy), I ended up being hellbent on rooting it last night. Success. Great, I threw Cyanogenmod7 on there and realized I'll have to undo the root/ROM to sell it later. I used what I believe is referred to as the REVOLUTIONARY method (using HTCDev.com, some terminal commands on my Mac, etc.)
Anyhow, didn't think it would be hard to undo what I did and I guess I was wrong. Let me tell you what I've tried so far.
I've tried using the PG86IMG.zip flash and nothing. No option (VOL UP or VOL DOWN) to even TRY installing it. Just quickly flashes the green text "No Image!" under each category (it goes too fast for me to read it) and I'm back at the boot menu. I've tried using different copies of the PG86IMG.zip with the same results (latest site acquired from: Goo-inside me, or something like that).
I've also tried using the RUU*.exe method on a Windows 7 machine. I've installed the drivers, everything checks out just fine until it actually tried to update the ROM. What happens here is that the phone reboots (as expected) and though the splash screen is different (black background with silver/gray hTc logo, semi-reflected) from the usual splash screen (white background with hTc in green), nothing happens. The software on the Windows 7 machine says "Waiting for bootloader" - which never shows up. Then it quickly gives me an error stating that the USB cable between the PC and the phone needs to be checked. Of course, there's no disconnect anywhere in the cables.
Please help! I planned on selling this device but if it's stuck in Cyanogenmod7, especially with no Google apps (couldn't get Gapps*.zip to work but whatever, not really concerned about that right now), there's no way I could sell this thing. I'm fairly knowledgeable in the basics of these matters as I have a rooted EVO 4G as well.
Anyone wanna buy an EVO 3D? HAHA
you could always flash a stock rooted rom .
You've gotta relock through adb before running the RUU.exe; then it'll work.
Hit the thanks if I helped
Here's another problem: I can't get back into Clockwork Mod Recovery (so I don't know how to flash another ROM on there). If I hold VOL DOWN while powering up, it starts automatically loading PG86IMG.zip. Then I get the options FASTBOOT, RECOVERY, FACTORY RESET, SIM LOCK, and IMAGE CRC.
Trying to enter recovery reboots to the splash screen and it gets stuck there.
How would I lock it using ADB?

It's because of the pg86img.zip you can delete/move it away from the root of your sd card and get back into recovery... but you shouldn't need to, follow these steps:
1) Turn off phone
2) Hold power+vol down
3) Choose fastboot
4) Plug into your PC if you're not already
5) When you see FASTBOOT USB on the phone screen go back to your command prompt where you have your adb.exe, fastboot.exe, etc.
6) Type: " fastboot oem lock "
7) Aaaand you're done w/ the relocking go crazy and run your RUU.exe, don't reboot the phone or anything just run your RUU while your phone's still in HBOOT.
Edit: Oh, the adb I was talking about would kind of make everything easier; in command prompt: adb reboot bootloader AND THEN fastboot oem lock
Two steps, mhm.
I'm on it! Standby...
Okay, the adb stuff - can I do that from terminal in Mac? I tried doing it while in the appropriate folder where all that adb stuff is and I typed: adb reboot bootloader (ERROR: command not found), then I tried just: reboot bootloader (not permitted). I did try: ./fastboot-mac oem lock (successful. header now says *** RELOCKED ***).
Tried the RUU*.exe stuff on the Windows machine while in that state and again an alleged problem with the USB connection...
Sounds like we're close?
BAM! Got it. You put me on the right track with that last post. RUU still wouldn't do the reversion even though I had some drivers installed on Windows so I had to find some other drivers (some HTC3*.exe file, 13MB) and ended up running those for it to recognize the phone.
+1 to you, sir. Thank you so much!
Glad it all turned out well.
Hello, Guys. So I did a stupid thing today - I was poking around in the build.prop in my v20d P769. I changed the value of a line concerning the battery, something like "battery_genuine" - My thought was that it was going to enable some sort of alternate battery notification or icon or whatever, I'm not sure what I was thinking.
Anyway, long story short, I rebooted after editing build.prop and now when the phone turns on it just says "use genuine battery - powering off" and shuts off. I had previously uninstalled CWM (getting ready to manually apply v20f) so I can't get to recovery to mount /system. I have been trying all day to get the offline flash method to work and the damn thing won't work half the time. I went through the thread instructions to install small server and edit hosts file - then reboot - when the loopback ip's are in the hosts file the test link on the thread (127.0.0.1:9002) doesn't work and neither LG application will work. If I comment out the loopback lines and restart both of them will open but neither of them will do anything useful. LG Updater tool just says I have the latest software and the UptestEX_mod2_marwin application won't flash anything.
Hoping someone can help me out here so I can recover this phone.
boot the phone in fastboot mode, don't know how to do that with your model though
use fastboot to boot into any custom recovery by typing 'path_to_adb_toolkit_files\fastboot.exe boot your_recovery_image.img'
if fastboot hangs on <waiting for device> install usb drivers
then pull off build.prop, change that field to original value and push it back into the phone
sorry mate, can't explain more detailed
Either flash ICS uboot and xloader in fastboot mode and unbrick it after, or if you can access adb, try sometjing like the following:
cd to your adb directory on your PC
adb pull /system/build.prop (in a command prompt on your PC)
Modify the file (it will be in the adb folder)
adb push pathto/thefile/build.prop > /system/build.prop (again in the cmd)
Hope it helps

Thanks for the reply man - yeah I can't get to adb, that was my first though so i'm going to try fastboot, only problem is, I don't know how to boot fastboot. Is s/w upgrade mode the fastboot screen (volume up + plug in cable)?
Also, would anyone mind explaining why the small server only outputs "file not found" when attempting to start up the flash tool? The only way I can get the flash tool to even launch is to comment out the loopback lines in hosts. lol man it's times like this when I miss motorola!
*Edit - In case anyone wants to help on this front, here is the output I receive from small server when trying to open B2CappClient or UpTest or even hit the test link in the offline flash thread:

I recommended removing all lg drivers and etc. Redownload all files, disable firewall and antivirus. But first you need to install fastboot and flash the u-boot for ice cream.
Inside the fastboot zip by lelus is more instructions on how to set it up. And checkout the original thread about fastbooting the l9
And you might want to try on another PC,
You need a good and clean windows environment for all to work well. This is the problem with many people. Plus a lot of antivirus programs don't like the small server.

well, if you boot into a screen that is neither android nor recovery, it should be fastboot at least this applies to my phone
since the combination is one button + plug in cable i guess it's the right one
does it say fastboot mode in the top of the screen?

Well I managed to get to fastboot with the p940 script. The screen that comes up with "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading...". this may be some sort of fastboot derivative but there's no response to "fastboot devices" at the prompt. Can I flash cwm through fastboot if my bootloader is locked? I had it installed with the bootstrap method.

Hey don't flash ice cream and ect.
All you have to do is flash (in fastboot) the boot.IMG for the kdz you are on, and you're good to go.
Extract the boot.img from the kdz
Look at my guide. Or just wait until later tonight for me to upload it.
To tell you the truth, Lol, I did the same thing you did with the battery. I was fast enough to edit it before it shutoff. I had toolbox lite app installed.
CM 10.1 P769
Finally got it! :laugh: Turns out, the default path for small server is c:\shttps\www - the problem I gave myself is that when I didn't extract to the c root, I copied from my L9 directory - when I copied none of the contents of \www copied with it, once I moved those files to the correct position it all went through as it should!
Thanks for your help guys!!

hahaha I saw this about 10 mins after I got it to boot! lol - oh well, I'm running 20f now, getting ready to root and see about unlocking the bootloader. Now that the flash tool is working correctly, the only thing I have to do is get a feel for the mirrored, wonky screen. I've been researching the bootloader method but could never get that flash tool to work correctly. I'm in the game now! WOOT!
Thanks for all your help man!

Just be sure you are ready for everything,
I recommended flashing 20d then 20b.
Hold up I'll give you all the help I gave to someone in a p.m.

I didn't have a hard time, but then again I've studied my a** off, and I knew how to fix all problems that popped up. My advice to you is read all the threads about unlocking the bootloader. The video is good but it doesn't break it down enough.
Let me tell you about everything that can go wrong and how to fix it
Problems
1. After flashing the euro kdz your phone won't boot past the logo.
Okay, this problem will make things harder(but do able), because you have to hard reset the device by pressing/holding the vol (-) + home + power (let go of power button when the lg logo comes up)
Plus after a hard reset all data will be wiped and you will have to enable USB debugging on the wonky touch screen.
The chance of this happening is rare because you are not coming from a custom ROM.
2. After flashing you get a security error (or an error during the flashing process).
Now this one sucks because you will need to fastboot and flash the ice cream u-boot. Then put the phone in the s/w upgrade mode and perform the offline flash again.
I had this happen to me once, while flashing the wind kdz. Messing with fastboot is not hard but it takes time to understand it. Get familiar with it first before trying to unlock. I'll send you a link with some more info.
3.After flashing the euro kdz you find out you don't have root.
Sometimes rooting fails (dam computers)
Now I had this happen to me after flashing euro kdz (so no cwm) but I wasn't really worried about that because I had a signal and I could make/receive calls. I had a signal because when I was flashing I swapped out the euro radio (p760.fls) with the metropcs one (lgms769.fls)
Note: you have to extract the radio from the metro kdz and rename it to p760.fls
When flashing replace the 11th bin (with hex edited 11th bin for 20b) & the radio (from metro renamed).
Another thing don't rush the unlock. I waited about 3 to 4 hours before trying, plus I took a couple of calls on the 20b kdz. And I was on wifi.
I flashed the euro kdz at work and when I got home I turned on WiFi and waited another hour.
I'm not to sure about what the video says about turning off and flashing the radio.
When the unlock first came out, the instructions were to not turn off the device before unlocking.
When I flashed the euro kdz I was on the metropcs ROM.
This is what I recommend and did.
Enable USB debugging, show all touches, & allow install from unknown sources.
Leave your phone on normally(don't put it in s/w mode) and flash the euro kdz and hopefully no problems.
After waiting a couple of hours try the unlock command with Adb on your PC.
If all goes good the phone will take you to an inverted unlock screen, just press the volume up (make sure you press the Up button!)
This will take you to the official fastboot (but it's inverted), now in fastboot flash the cwm recovery image.
In cwm flash the touch screen fix and restore a backup.
Another thing make your own backup with the locked bl cwm (just in case you have to erase all data) make backup on external SD. Another thing, Lol ,make sure the backup is good, try to restore it. I have had several corrupted backups with cwm.
I know it's a lot to learn, but then again you want to be prepared.
Think of it like a final exam, Lol and you won't go wrong.
If you get lost just holla at me.

I installed the 'drivers' it needs (following the readme file) when it shows the "unknown/other" device (the part where you have to catch it in device manager).
After this, I run the start.bat, enter 5 and hit enter, i unplug my phone and hit any key, then i plug it in as it says and it does it's thing, then i wait for 4 seconds when it begins to say "waiting for device", i put my battery in and it just stays there, waiting for device
Can you help me figure this out? Am I doing something wrong?

but, what am i supposed to do here?
i see the 2 omap devices listed on my device manager
whenever i try to run the kdz offline flash tool (if i'm using the right one), it still doesn't detect the phone as connected, doesn't even try, just errors and tells me to connect to usb port and restart or exit
what am i supposed to do once i'm in fastboot recovery for my phone?
should i comment out the 2 listings i added to the hosts file? should i NOT be running shttps app? which kdz offline flash tool should i be using? (currently trying: UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe)

You should run start.bat and select flash ICS u-boot/x-loader for P769
When it finish, reboot you phone to S/W update mode and try to use UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe to flash your P769 kdz again to restore your phone.
Maybe I miss something about P769 model, please search in FAQ forum many people have this issue, and most of them have fixed it.

ASSUMING you know how to install fastboot drivers there are instructions on the forum ...so follow those guide note fastboot drivers work best on windows 7 windows 8 was giving me hard time ...
1.install fastboot drivers
2.run lelus script at the same time hold vol+ button once the script shows the OMAP device close the script and immediately put the battery back in .The LG phone will boot into S/W mode !
Make sure you write down your imei or serial number AND make sure battery is fully charged . then
Now simply use the LG software tool or the KDZ offline flasher look around the forum for how to guides
Thats it

Your procedure doesn't seem to work with my device. Just to make sure we are using the same driver packages, can you post a link to the fastboot driver you have successfully used?
My L9 is always showing this "partition doesn't exist" error message, no matter what I try. Lelus's script seems to do the job and the phone is detected as a fastboot device, and can even be detected in LG Flash Tool (using a 910K cable), but flashing will stop after a little over 2 minutes, because the phone disconnects. During all of my attempts, the screen stays black.
Any hint?

Then you need a Technician with a Octopus Box to repair your partition table...

Can you boot into recovery? We now have a custom recovery for locked bootloaders (and CM roms). If you can get into recovery, I would try some adb commands to mount the partitions.
No, no recovery. Just to make sure that I'm not doing it wrong, what is the key combination to boot to recovery?
I have also tried:
Code:
fastboot boot some_recovery_image.img
It says ok, but the phone just hangs at the black screen and becomes undetectable as a fastboot device, until I pull the battery. So, unless the some_recovery_image.img is unsuitable for my P760 (which may be!), there is something seriously wrong I think.
Or maybe I can try the same command with the custom recovery for bootloader locked phones... Where can I find it?

Your EMMC partition is wiped or fried... you really need a JTAG service or a Box like octopus because your L9 is Hard-bricked...
Thanks for your opinion. Yet, I still want to hear from others.
I'm running into more and more problems with the L9 as their me grows.
-Fastboot doesn't work under Windows 8.1 and 10, but under the now obsolete(for me) Windows 7, unlike my other devices, which are fine with Win 10.
-ADB seems to work, but requiring the device to be still able to boot.
-I always boot to recovery from within Android as long as the L9 ain't bricked. After a failed rom install, during which the sd card failed(could no longer write or be formatted afterwards, the last time stamps of files and folders were set during the failed install) I discovered a problem with TWRP(Artas182x's and Edwin's), which may have been present since a long time: Trying to invoke TWRP via keypress will brick the device!
So, if my P760 no longer boots, there's only download mode available, sort of the final line of defense.
-There's sort of a trick if even download mode fails: After a failed attempt unplug phone, force switch-off, if the phone is in brick state. Then switch on, force switch-off again, and only then attempt download mode again. And have patience while holding down the vol button, it might take up to 20 seconds for the phone to switch itself on into download mode. (A single forced powerdown will cause Fastboot NOT to work the next time)
But I'm absolutely clueless about the recovery issue, for now TWRP is semi-working, can only be accessed via Android, as long as the phone is fully working.
W/o Fastboot, I now have flashed stock rom several times and rooted it with Kingo rooter just to be able to run Flashify to install TWRP. If Flashify is the culprit for the TWRP issues, I could need a recommendation for a better working app.

Tried OMAP flasher ? It needs memory configuration file in order to work with our device
No, I didn't. I have sold the phone for spares.

I never needed the OMAP drivers and tools. As they are ancient, they will probably make even more problems with newer Windows versions.
I could by no means invoke Fastboot on this device with Windows 8.1 and 10, Seven worked. So you had to go for Download Mode instead to recover to stock rom, then root with the Kingo tool, then install TWRP via Rashr or Flashify, the most time consuming way to recover from the frequent bricks.
And the LG Flash Tool 2014 always needed several attempts to get the job done. The latest official recovery tool from LG works in D/L Mode, but will always download the rom image anew.
Hi all, this is my last hope at the moment. Any input would be highly thanked.
I own an ASUS Padfone 2 (KOT49H.WW_Padfone-11.8.4.23-20141028), stock firmware, that I managed to get soft-bricked, as I read they call it.
Phone is unrooted, ran KitKat, and I really don't know much more about it, I'm not really an expert unfortunately... No custom ROM or any of those pro stuff.
Scenario:
Every single app crashed upon opening, performed a reboot, phone got stuck into infinite boot-loop, at the company logo in the beginning.
What can the phone do and what I've done so far (all of which have been found through internet):
I can enter into recovery mode.
Did a factory reset and wiped cache partition before the following.
I entered what the phone calls "CSC mode", that other sources call "fastboot mode".
Followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256977 , installed drivers, entered into the proper directory on CMD, and typed "fastboot boot recovery.img", but CMD says "OKAY" and all, but gets stuck at "booting...", even after like 15 minutes.
Then, for whatever reason I saw on the internet, I tried the command "fastboot oem unlock" that also didn't finish anything either in CMD or (seemingly) on the phone.
Then, I tried following this guide in CSC mode (even though I don't have the invalid kernel error) http://www.modaco.com/forums/topic/365818-padfone-2-invalid-kernel/#comment-2191432 , but also didn't get any further than CMD stuck at "booting..." for forever.
I suspect it could be possible to do some of those booting magic, but I have no clue how it works and how my problem inside the problem could be solved...
Thank you so much in advance.
(Please beware that I don't understand what the words bootloader, fastboot, flash or ROM mean. I'm a mere mortal.)
