I recently purchased an atrix from a friend that was already updated to 2.3.6 and i successfully rooted it. After that i was under the impression i needed to unlock the bootloader to be able to get a shiny new rom on it. I followed the instructions given by G-Man in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26956828#post26956828
Now all i get is a FAILED TO BOOT 0x1000 screen. Im afraid to do anything else from here and risk bricking and flushing a few hundred bucks down the toilet
Can i flash the official 4.5.141 sbf?
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Edit: RESOLVED+Wrong area for post.
Sorry guys i apologize! :/
fisrt:u post in wrong place like this
second:u should go to general thread and find auto unlock bootloader to unlock,u are in softbrick now,that tool have softbrick repair so dont worry
sorry i think your phone hard brick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160408
Sorry for being a noob!
You're right... i apologize.
Yes i found it... thank you very much for the direction.
so have u unsoftbrick your phone?,that tool is very easy for us to unlock bootloader and flash CWM recovery
Yes i did, its an amazing tool!!
to get into CWM do i have to use a button combo or do i need to download rom manager?
Button combination is the safest way, and works every time.
I personally prefer not to use Rom Manager for anything other then replacing (Updating) the recovery. In many custom roms there is a possibility to reboot the device straight to recovery, in the reboot menu.

Here is an answer for the button combination.
As for a recommended rom, I am using now MorriSoft v1.0, but any CM7 based rom will do the job.
Have fun
Pshhhhhhh. Try Joker's CM9 if you can deal with the video cam and orientation issues. ICS is a joy over Gingerbread.

Anybody that thinks they are one of the best if not the TOP troubleshooting helper around, Please let me know if you are available after 5 today. I dont have a lock screen anymore and when I hold the power button down, the device shuts off instead of having the options to reboot, power down, screen shot, whatever else available. I am rooted, but I did try going back to stock and had no luck with the lock screen. Also, I cound a backup on a different MicroSD card and tried to restore that. It worked fine, but never gave me the lock screen or power down options again. Weather you want to talk on the phone, chat, or email. Please reply here or email me at [email protected] Thank You!
Sorry but we don't have a ranking system here. You get what you get . . .
The power off menu is in the framework of the OS. Have you flashed anything with CWM/TWRP that could have changed the framework? Almost any mod could be a possible cause.
Did you use a theme-setting app? These apps change the framework and that includes the lock screen too.
Have you restored a backup recently?
Post your rom version and apps you installed recently.

I'm sorry you felt the need to take what i said the way you did. I was simply stating what i said the way i did because nobody could ever help me with this. I am currently rooted on stock ics. I didn't even have a lock screen after i flashed back to stock on Odin, then used kies to get the latest ics. It doesn't make sense. Do Tippy have any idea how i could put this back to normal? It's a pain having to rely on go locker and go launcher. Also, when i hold the power button down, the phone just shuts down, with no options like normal. It's crazy. I appreciate your help either way. It won't let me flash a different ROM right now. Gives some error. I just want to be fully stock with a lock screen and power menu options them go from there.

If you push the power button in and it reboots, can't you just hold the middle of the volume rocker in at the same time to get into recovery?

Well yeah but what does that have to do with anything? It doesn't help at all. That doesn't fix any of my problems. This problem is much more complex. The issue is that my phone is not as it normally should be..with options after holding down the power button, and with no lock screen...even after successfully going back to stock, these things were missing...

Since you can't go back to stock,
Flash a rom, it should install those missing things.
Or mess it up worse and take it back for a new one.

It won't let me flash another ROM. Gives me Assn error and doesn't go through. If i try returning the device with the flash counter where it's at, won't that be an issue? I can't go without the device. I use it for too much. Maybe i could figure out how to reset flash counter? Idk..i just need this fixed bad
This maybe a dumb thought but can you use kies and install the original ICS again? I know you mentioned backups didn't work so reinstalling original ICS probably won't worj either. Just a thought.

Are you going back to stock ICS or gingerbread? I would Odin back to gingerbread and start brand new. This will solve any major issue for sure. But only do it if you have the things you need to get back to where you are, like the GB root, cwm or twrp, and your roms. Let me know if that helps

I can let you know up front this did not work. I did this in the beginning. Went back to stock GB then had to use Kies to get to ICS. This did not help my issue/problem at all. Still no lock screen. It sucks. I am almost lost for help here it seems. Is there any way to completely reset the device from the beginning? Or again, any way to get help with everything in the actual framework of the whole device? Anything anybody could do to help me with would be amazing. Thank you for everything again!
Try this, not sureb if it fits your issue 100%.

Idk but I did warranty claim with one of my notes and Samsung didn't say anything about the flash counter after. But they also sent me the new phone first then I sent mine back, but like I said they didn't say anything after.
but now that I think about it, the lock screen is not a device issue. it comes different in every ROM in the framework res.apk! I don't see how that's even possible? The entire frameworks flash and the device can't on its own decide not to install that especially not on stock GB. For you to Odin back to GB and not have a lock screen on GB is just crazy. Nothing out there I'm aware of can do that and not brick the device. You have to bring that device back foreal. That's screwed and if you do fix that pm me and tell me how!

Will do. You see why it's crazy now!? It's ridiculous! Never heard of or seen this problem ever..I'm not new to Android or Android troubleshooting atall. Just this blows my mind!
There is no warranty issue here.
I asked several questions about what you have done, but you didn't inform us.
You never said what recovery you have. The simplest solution is to reboot into recovery, wipe all caches, factory reset, then flash a stock rom.
If you can't do that I would use Odin to flash a stock rom.
Those are your options.

I have tried to answer every single question to the best of my ability. Sorry I did not answer your question properly. I was on CWM recovery but Just now again I flashed back to STOCK using Odin. Meaning I have stock recovery. I still DO NOT HAVE a lock screen or any options when shutting the phone down. Those "options" you gave me are no longer available. I did all that. I am about to try to go to a friends house to flash to ICS using Kies...which still will give me no lock screen or options when holding down the power button. There is obviously a deeper problem here. I hope somebody could help me solve this issue. Please I am begging here It is horrible!

Why isn't flashing a stock rom using Odin not an option? Odin is the pc software Samsung created and uses for their work.
Kies didn't work -- try Odin3 1.85

Again, I feel like a broken record by repeating this SEVERAL times but Flashing Back To Stock Using ODIN Does Not Work! I just said that I did this in my post before last. I finally have managed to get cm10 nightly to flash on my device. When I flashed this, it gave me the lock screen back along with options when I hold down the power button. Thank you all for your help anyways. I guess this is as good as it will get.
When you flash a rom with Odin, it reformats your phone, like a clean slate, then installs the new system.
When you say you flashed back to stock, did you use a .pit file, a .tar file, and a .bin file? If not, you are not flashing back to stock -- you're just adding up a mess in your phone.
If you use Kies, then use the emergency firmware recovery, it will supposedly do the same thing as a correct Odin flash -- reformat then install a clean stock rom.
Hey Guys. I tried to unlock my bootloader by flashing p760 euro. I cant get to unlock but now i have given up. How can i flash back to p769 stock firmware and fix the wonky touch screen and reversed image. I have flashed several phones in the past but this one just doesnt want to work for me. Thanks very much in advance.

Can you elaborate on this? I've tried to use the Smartflashtool to fix this problem and haven't had any luck.
Havent used it in a long time, but in fact you only need smartflashtool (sft), the fls file you extacted from the kdz file and that's basically it. Reboot your phone in download mode and open sft. In there change to the correct tab, choose your fls (dont remember which field, since it is REALLY long ago) hit start and it should update your baseband.

Great idea but how do you get past the magic number does not match issue? If you have the model.dll file for the p769 could you please forward so I can replace the one I have. Mine is for the 940

Like I said, I only inserted the fls file and there was no magic number error.
Maybe check the p970 forum, there is another version of SFT. Maybe it was this one, that worked.
Well that would be great if we could get that to work for our phone because it take like three minutes to flash. This would be an alternate to the offline flash.
P769v20h- 'tis the season to give thanks so push the button already!
Ok again:
It works to flash the BASEBAND ONLY!
It does NOT and I repeat N O T work for the full firmware.
For this to work we would need a new modell.dll, which we probably can only get from LG itself, or a REALLY good reverse engineer here on the forum. But I really doubt anyone wants to do this. I was also talking to xonar_ and he is like an android god to me. He confirmed, that it's very hard, up to impossible to get this to work. I also tested a pack made by him, but it also wouldnt work. If anyone is interested, go ahead an contact him. He is a really nice guy and explains everything very much in detail, if you nicely ask for

Fixed my touch screen on LG P769
I am now able to fix my wonky touch screen finally. Thank God.
After spending the whole day Saturday to unlock the bootloader and install custom rom, I finally gave up after 24 hours. Next I wanted my phone to be in working condition by Sunday night.
I just flashed the stock kdz (V20h) for t-mobile usa. I had this one originally. My display was okay (after initial switch off and on) but touch was still not good.
After that I just did root my phone and installed Super Su. as mentioned in other threads
Then followed the command to cat v6.bin into some firmware file, as mentioned in other threads. It feels so good to get the touch screen working again.
The display is still mirrored when phone boots, but first time i switch off the screen and on again, and it's fixed.
I will edit this post, later with more details and links later.
Also, I did a Factory Data reset, after flashing v20h kdz. But I believe it was not required. In fact, it was very difficult to enter passwords for wifi, google play account etc with the wonky touch screen.
Sounds like you got it under control. Here is a zip file Kuma made that I use when I try to unlock bootloader. Sometimes I have to install it twice but it's the fastest way to get back to normal

I have a Verizon LG Optimus Exceed 2 (VS450PP) with some form of CWM recovery installed (I used a LG L70 ms323 version).
For some reason, recovery still boots into stock recovery, but when I chose the factory reset, I see a CWM logo for a fraction of a second..
I tried flashing Cyanogenmod 11, but stupid me, I didn't check if the boot.img was locked. (shoulda Bump'd it!).
Now I get a security error when booting, and recovery isn't working properly either.
I've searched high and low for the KDZ/TOT/DLL files for this phone and haven't found any yet, so I'm turning this over to you guys at XDA for help.

Still possible by bumping a modified boot.img, but a debloated stock ROM is likely the most you will ever see. I had been working on one, but my time has been so very limited of late. Unfortunately, there's lot much love for sub $100 devices in the development community these days, and I don't possess the skill set for AOSP development myself (yet).
If you (or anyone) has the time to freeze some of the crap on an active one of these without breaking things, I'd love to hear about it. I could then create a debloated, deodexed, zip-aligned one to flash in TWRP.

This is one of those cheap phones that would benefit from love and support. Some things it does better than my GS3. I used Romtoolbox to delete non-system apps. Email, gmail, some google apps. Kept some verizon crap just in case. Not sure if safe to delete google talkback. Probably safe (http://www.androidcentral.com/what-google-talk-back). Possibly a few more apps/services can be deleted i can't think of right now. I have ~180MB free space with GPS and some other apps installed. 32GB SD FAT formatted for media, downloads, some gps maps. Never had luck with link2sd, don't want to swap internal<>external storage.
I was uninstalling apps with romtoolbox and accidentally deleted a home theme. Now the home screen blinks. Is there a way to flash stock? Rooted, TWRP installed. I used to do it with older LG phones but can't remember how i did emergency recovery.

Boot to your TWRP recovery and restore your latest working backup?
Pull Battery out
Put Battery back in
Hold Volume Down and Power until a white screen comes up
You should get 4 options
Use Volume Down to select Wipe Cache
Press Power Button
It should then go into TWRP
If you don't have a backup you can return to complete stock (wipes the phone) via the links in my posting over here.

Boot to your TWRP recovery and restore your latest working backup?
Pull Battery out
Put Battery back in
Hold Volume Down and Power until a white screen comes up
You should get 4 options
Use Volume Down to select Wipe Cache
Press Power Button
It should then go into TWRP

I've done accidental deletions with older phones but this time was different. I deleted my home screen theme while debloating. There's no LG emergency recovery tool, no KDZ on lg site. I dl elsewere and another custom lg tool from a forum. I could access settings and selected a new home screen theme. No need for recovery. I figured i can always dl a custom theme. Installed Nova launcher. Everything is good. I'll bookmark this page in case i screw up again. Thanks.

The post has a link to the kdz. You might want to grab it in case they update it to something that you cannot root or install a custom recovery on. Wish I had one for the LG Transpyre before they updated it to 5.1.1. Just saying...

I have 2 phones. Can i back up in TWRP and restore in the other phone? I've never done backups. Not a fan of backups in pc and phones.
Can QSLIDE be removed? I used to do it in L9 but i think i had to flash a zip file in recovery to get rid of it. Also quicknote needs to go.

Wow. Never heard of QSLIDE, but if you don't backup, you can't play. Simple as that. Pay for TiB to (or whatever) freeze and test, or take your chances. I would NEVER delete stuff without any backup.

I set up aquamail to see if this phone has notification light in home button. It does!!! very nice, unlike moto crap screen.
Amazing colors, so simple, so useful. Now whenever i need to know if i have messages i look at these phones instead of cheaporola screen.
I guess there's no hope for CM

I'm having an awful time getting the w5c_twrp_bumped.img to actually do a backup on the Exceed 2. Worked like a dream on my Realm. I posted my dilemma a little further down the thread. Hopefully someone can come up with an answer...
Edit: Fixed the partition list in the recovery and it now works on the VS450PP in addition to the LS620. See post #33 in the thread linked above if interested.

Just verified link is good. Some have reported issues with Chrome and other browsers. Pulls fine with Firefox on my laptop and Lightning on my phone.

I had *just* put this up for you on AFH and was about to link you to it. Thanks to myfishbear over there, I can remove it. No need to waste file space if available elsewhere. Nice that he put everything all in one place. :good:

Hey. I've downgraded from Nougat to Marshmallow using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/downgrade-7-0-to-6-0-1-lg-g5-h850-t3511930. I've tried to install TWRP but the button combination doesn't work. I've followed the instructions to the letter, I've pulled out the battery, kept volume down pressed all the time etc., etc. I've tried different timings. Before the downgrade I was able to get into TWRP easily. My volume down button works, I've checked that. I'm able to get into the display IMEI mode (both VOL UP and VOL DOWN pressed down) and into the download mode. I can get into stock recovery with adb. I've upgraded back to Nougat, then reflashed boot and stock (Nougat version ofc) and then tried everything again but to no avail. I would appreciate any help.
Additional note: I've tried 3.0.2-0 and 3.0.2-1 on Marshmallow and 3.0.2-1 on Nougat.
EDIT: I have 2 ideas. First, manually reflash all the paritions from the unpacked KDZ. Second, use the Dirty Cow. First one will take time, but should be safe. Second one will probably take even longer, since I'm not really good with Linux and this method wasn't designed for H850, though it should work, unless LG patched it in Nougat.
EDIT 2: Most partitions are unflashable (FAILED (remote: cannot flash this partition in unlocked state)).

When you see the LG logo you have to let go of the power button and immediately press it again, then it should work. Takes a bit of practice sometimes

Come on, mate. I've made it very clear that I know how to do it, don't give me the obvious tips.

Well, excuse me for expecting useful responses. I think I've made it very clear that the problem isn't that I can't press the buttons properly and yet you advised me to try it again.

You wouldn't be the first one that didn't do it properly ... and probably not the last one either but ok.
Good luck *waves and ignores thread*
She was just trying to help, even if the answers weren't what you expected you don't have the right to be a Dickhead.
Good luck getting anyone else to help you with that attitude...

I don't really think that you can talk about about proper attitude and call people dickheads at the same time. It's one thing when you try to help but your solution doesn't work and it's another when you post a solution that's clearly not going to work from the start.
