Hi Guys,
I am getting kind of desperate. I keep rebooting into recovery mode. Then, the screen shows Fastboot mode started... udc_start (). I think it is stuck. I am using LG Optimus ONE (P500). I have tried battery pull a lot of times. Doesn't work. Any suggestions? If you suggest I reflash stock rom or something, tell me how please. Thanks.

for flashing original firmwares
If you choose to reflash stock ROM, here is what you need:
- tools: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881
- ROMs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944881 or the link suggested in the tools thread
You may wait a little bit longer before reflashing to see if anybody has a better solution to your problem. Good luck!
More Questions... Help please if you can... Thanks
Hi All,
Thanks to those who have responded so far. I kind of needed the phone fixed ASAP, so I sent it for repair. But anyway, I have a few questions:
1)Is it possible to reflash stock ROM or a new ROM even if the the computer or Android SDK can't detect your device? (This is with the correct driver installed. When my phone was in the fastboot mode screen, it couldn't be detected as an LG Device at all when plugged in.) If you can, how?
2)For those who have successfully gotten a new ROM onto their Optimus One, how did you do it? Is there anywhere where the procedure can be found? And is it relatively safe? (I know there is always a chance you might brick your phone unless you are some expert, but there are some procedures that are safer than others right?)
3)This last question isn't really relevant to this forum section, but I'll ask anyway. Which phone models (any brand, preferably 2.2 onwards) are good for rooting and installing custom ROMs? Like, are there any phones that most rooting/ROM installing software supports? (For instance, I have heard that HTC phones can usually be flashed with custom ROMs without bricking that easily 'cos they are supported by stuff like ROM Manager etc.) And one more thing: what are the easiest/safest ways found to root/flash a new ROM?
Thanks everyone.

Yes it is possible, you'll need to firstly boot into 'emergency mode', by pressing volume up + back + power when the phone is off. Then follow these steps to flash stock rom. You do not use Android SDK at all, all you need is for the phone to get into the emergency mode, it is what most people with bricked phones do to reflash.

Personally, it was relatively easy for me even though I'm a new user to android. I've had my phone for 2 weeks and bricked it 3 times within the first 72 hours. But there are methods to get it back as I explained in Q1 XD In order to flash a new ROM, there are 3 MAIN steps.
1. root your phone
2. install custom recovery
3. make backup and flash new ROM
if you need help on certain individual steps, just post it here and I'm sure someone will help you.

In terms of the easiest method to root, it is definitely to simply run an app that can automatically root the phone for you, such as z4root, or SuperOneClick are just 2 examples. So I'll say whichever phones these app support, will be the easiest to root. ROMs will depend on the users of those phones and their dedication to creating customisable ROM. You can find most of the phones and available ROMs on this forum anyway.
Is it possible to exit emergency mode? Do you do a battery pull or something? I am planning to test out booting into emergency mode when my phone comes back from repair. Will it harm my phone? (Does it do stuff like wiping system data or my installed apps?) Thanks in advance to anyone who will reply.
I think you can just hold power to turn your phone off in emergency mode, but if it doesn't work, you can always pull the battery out. You didn't mention what you did for this problem to start but unless you perform the same thing, you won't need to use emergency mode.

when you said install a new rom, did you install it through kdz? if you did, try installing an optimus s rom through recovery. heres how:
download a rom on your computer
plug your phone in to you computer (with it already booted in recovery)
toggle usbms on your phone
transfer the rom to your phone
flash the rom
Hi there,
I bought Lenovo S890, which is trully a nice phone. Only bad thing about it was, that it had a lot of chinese apps, which I uninstalled. Unfortunately I uninstalled system app contacts, which turned out to be a mistake. After painfully long time, when I didn't manage to install the app back on the phone, I bricked it. So after that I tried to install new ROM, which i could then root and restore the phone to better shape...
As it turned out, this was painfull as well After several fails I managed to install original ROM via Flash tools, which is chinese only. Then I tried to install Team win recovery project, which would allow me to access recovery mode and install one of several ROW ROM I found on needrom.com/phone-roms/lenovo/s890/
I was following this tutorial step by step: forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Phones/S890-rooting-tutorial/td-p/1109573 (also availaible on video: youtube.com/watch?v=W_Gs0bpUMmY) but it had no effect, the Flash tools ended with an error:
Brom error: S_FT_NEED_DOWNLOAD_ALL_FAIL (4050)
Need download all images!
So I was stuck again. I installed back the original chinese ROM and try to root the phone for several days, without any success. I tried
Root with Restore by Bin4ry v30
ICS Root Unlocker 1.0
SuperOneClickv2.3.3-ShortFuse
and although these software said that rooting was succesfull, it really wasn't.
In the end, i manage to install updated original ROM and now i have access to recovery mod, but it is in chinese and I don't understand the language - if someone do, could you have a look at sugarsync.com/pf/D6990784_658_292574314 and tell me what to click in order to install new ROM from SD card? When I try to install different recovery mod, the phone won't boot at all.
-----------------
Can someone help me solve my problem? It looks like all I need to do is either 1) root the original ROM, because then I can use superuser app and install ROW ROM or 2) install different recovery mode (like TWRP), where I can install different ROMs from SD card...
Also, if anyone has the same phone and has it rooted, the best possible solution for me (and maybe other lost souls) would be, if you do a backup of your rooted phone (via MtkDroidTools or similar) and publish it online, so I could use it in Flash tools and transfer it on my phone. That would be fantastic.
If someone has any idea on what should i do, please share it with me. Any idea is welcome. Thanks ahead

Hi,
I think I didn't use Download, but Firmware->Upgrade instead. Also, if you are trying to install TWRP, I managed to do so by flashing all parts from original ROM and selected only recovery from Team win.
Please I need some light

Hi all
I just got an UMI Cross recently and from reading about the possibility of trojans on chinese phones, the first thing I did was install a couple of different popular scanners (ESET was one of them)
The 2 scanners I tried both found trojans (UUPAY) and so what I want to do now is flash a new ROM onto the phone, I have found some new roms but now I am unsure of the best way to go about flashing the phone.
I know I need to install CWM or something similar but not sure on the best way to do this or even if its universal (in terms of installing)
So, any help is appreciated
Thanks
anyone? D:

Right, it's easy peasy , download this and plonk on your sd card http://www.needrom.com/mobile/ctr-recovery/
download mobile uncle tools and select recovery update, selecting the zip on your sd card, all done!
It says root is needed, how do I root the device?
I worked it out, found my device is rooted and put on the recovery thing and was able to get into it ! yay
But when I tried to flash the rom I downloaded it just said aborted
Not sure what rom to use either >_<
http://www.needrom.com/mobile/umi-cross-c1/
I downloaded the latest flash rom from there, does that mean I have to use Flash Tools?
Cheers

Ended up flashing a different rom and it worked fine, no more infected apps on phone yay!
If anyone runs into same issue, feel free to contact me and I will help
Now on the new rom, lookout reports contacts and phone as adware
arghhh
I'm wondering if anyone has had any success with the Oppo A57 and either rooting it with a recovery that's had the root option removed, or otherwise replaced TWRP with the stock recovery to do an OTA update.
I've spent the last week and a half realising that rooting my Oppo A57 was a horrendous idea (took me two days to get signal back, woops!) and now I'm regretti and have no spaghetti.
I followed this guide to root the phone, then I used flashed a zip which replaced the Chinese TWRP with an English one, which no longer has the option to root the phone. I've also accidentally unrooted the phone, but ColorOS keeps complaining that it's rooted despite its being not.
Oppo gives an option to 'remove root' by installing an OTA update; which then loads into recovery where I have no idea how to install said OTA update or even if it's a good idea or not. As far as I can tell there's no one who's released the stock recovery yet.
Thanks for any and all replies
I have had a similar problem with my Oppo A57, and as it turns out, the store i bought it off gave me a refund even though it was rooted. Perhaps you could try that? Sorry i couldn't be more help I've been looking everywhere trying to fix mine too.
My phone has no signal. You said you fixed that? How did you go about doing that?
How did you change the Chinese custom recovery to English

Flashed a zip which replaced the Recovery, flashed a different zip (findable somewhere in the 'how to root your oppo a57' thread) which fixed the signal issue.
Looks like there's still some issues with trying to root this phone...
Okay so I´m trying to flash original firmware to my oppo A57 using the MSM download tool and the problem is that it doesn´t recognize my phone in the download mode (or whatever it is called). Under the ´status of connection´ it says N/A. However the Qualcomm drivers are installed and when I checked the device manager it shows that my phone is connected. Any help in this regard would be most appreciated. Thank you!
Hi posting for helping my friend A57, he installed twrp and he doesnt going to install stock rom... always failed!
I suspect i have foolishly tried to root my Alcatel A2 xl, as I''ve never done it before and it looks unconventional, and it's now stuck in boot loop. I can hold volume up and power and get to select boot mode, but recovery freezes the screen and selecting normal triggers the boot loop. Fastboot works still.
It was all working fine, I'd set up adb and a couple drivers, then followed some guide here to install Clockwork Recovery by flashing it via adb. I did that, and can't do anything sense - i read somewhere else i should have wiped data first, could this have been it?
Any help on how to recover enormously appreciated. At this point i've tried the official Alcatel tool to reset a stock rom and it can't detect the phone correctly, and that's it. I dont want to go trying to flash another recovery or custom ROM on yet as im uncertain what went wrong.
Also just want to say thanks in advance, and thanks for the whole site, it's the only reliable looking place i could find for android advice , i mean im sure you know that.
Try this

Hi there,
I am not sure if this will work or not as ALCATEL is famous for making cheap smartphones however the number of ROMS out there are slim, I was wondering do you have the stock rom with you and are you able to connect your phone to your computer and can ADB detect it.
If your still able to boot into recovery you can uninstall root by wiping its memory completely.
And if your phone is able to get recognised by ADB I suggest you to reinstall the whole ROM
I have found a website which might help you to get the ROM
https://www.needrom.com/category/alcatel/
Hey thanks thanks. I can't boot into recovery frustratingly, but it can be recognised by adb.
I dont have a stock rom though so thanks for website - can you point me to the right ROM? There doesn't seem to be anything specific to the A2 XL model, but it has a MT8321 processor so does that mean any ROM for that would work? NEEDROM /tablet_captiva_pad_10_3g_plus_mt8321/
or the A2 XL also seems to have exactly the same processor as the Pixi 4, and both come with the 8050D tag-on which i have no idea what means. So would that be a better shout? NEEDROM /rom-stock-pixi-4-7-alcatel-9003a-telcel/

Hi there,
sorry i was wrong, i didn't knew you were using an mtk processor
since its mtk you need to use sp flash tool
and it doesnt have the same processor as i searched the tag "8050D" it came up as a Snapdragon processor
However you can download SP-FLASH TOOL and look up the another alcatel phone matching the same description
