I have an LG P769 that I would like to make work again. I am a complete noob. I tried to find an existing posting that would help but the search tool isn't working for me and my issue appears unique.
My phone appears entirely dead. Whether I put in a battery (I bought a brand new one) or have it plugged into the USB port there is no LED on the phone and no video whatsoever. The phone is not responsive at all to any button presses.
I can plug the phone into the computer and the computer recognizes it. I have already installed the drivers for it. I also downloaded OMAP4boot and have run it and it sees the phone when I plug it into the USB port.
None of the instructions I've found so far do anything for me. I can't get anything downloaded into the phone. I can't get the phone to respond or to show anything.
Can someone please point me in the proper direction?
Thank you.

Please take the time to read this:I flashed and installed SkyRaider a couple days ago and I noticed when I connected to my PC that my PC started recognizing it as HTC Phone (or something of the like). This apparently really screwed up my drivers on my computer because I installed iKReaM and now I can't even get into disk drive mode...it doesn't ask what connection type I want anymore and my computer just says "USB Device Not Recognized". I tried uninstalling the HTC Driver Installer but that didn't do anything either. This is not good as I ran into the same problem when trying to root my friends Samsung Fascinate and never go the problem fixed. Anyways...my phone worked perfect before and SkyRaider evidently messed it up pretty good...to say I am pissed is an understatement. If you need any more info please let me know.
Please link me to the newest HTC Drivers as well, it would be much appreciated.
If no one can help I will have to do a clean install of windows 7, which is not an enjoyable experience

You will have to buy the pro version to push files. That would be your easy solution.
You can always use recovery to get into usb mode as well.

I can't get into recovery anymore using usb mode, computer doesn't recognize the device so no way to use it...and I would use the Wifi app instead of using a usb cable? I see what you mean by easy but I don't wanna avoid the problem...I have a brand new $1600 Alienware so I would like to have it fixed lol...if need be I may just have to do a clean install
I know this isn't your actual problem but just for the record, AirDroid lets you control your phone and push files to it with a web browser and wifi for free.
(I tried linking it but I guess I haven't made enough posts to include links yet, easy to find by searching the Market tho)
You might check under Settings/ Connect to PC to make sure the Ask Me option is turned on.

When you plug your phone into your computer does the phone start to charge?
If so restart the computer and plug the phone into a different usb port. Check device manager and see if you have it listed in your usb devices, or you have an ! over a usb. Most of the time this ends up being an issue with the computer it is being hooked to, not the phone. The computer isn't launching the driver correctly to show the phone that it is connected to a computer, and not just a wall outlet.
Even when I've had this issue, which is random I have still been able to use recovery usb to manage it. Make sure when your in recovery you mount the sdcard before enabling the usb.
Hi all!
I'm hoping someone here can help me because I'm about to throw my phone out the window and I'd really rather not.
I have a rooted Nexus S with Cyanogen 7.1.0.1 and I'm trying to get it back to stock. This would be easy enough, if I follow the instructions here:
nexusshacks.com/nexus-s-hacks/how-to-unroot-nexus-s-i9020ti9020ai9023
but the problem is that my phone won't recognize that it's being plugged into my PC. Before anyone asks, I have tried reinstalling the drivers and I have tried different USB ports and USB cables. Nothing seems to work. I have also tried restoring to an old backup I did months ago when there was nothing on the phone and it still won't recognize it.
Sometimes, very randomly, the PC will recognize that I've plugged in a device but it will automatically say that the drivers could not be installed.
Any idea how I can get this working?
So I upgraded to Cyanogen 9.0.0 and while my phone is running much better now (thanks Cyanogen team!!!) I still can't get my phone or PC to recognize my phone being plugged in.
If anyone can think of a solution, please let me know.
Hello Everyone,
I was worndring if it is in some how possible to upgrade my GT-I9070 from gingerbread 2.3.6 to Kitkat or other custumized rom without having to use odin.
I have a problem with connecting my phone to the my pc, my laptop won't regonize it, I think is a hardware problem.
Thanks a lot

Not unless you are already rooted. Does the PC not recognize that you have plugged it in at all or does it just not load the drivers correctly? Best way to tell is to open your Device Manager and plug in the phone. the DM should reload and show something, whether an error or not. If it does not blink out and reload when you plug / unplug the phone, then it's either a hardware issue with the phone's USB port, a bad cable, or bad USB port on PC. And it is possible for a phone to charge correctly, but have issues connecting to a computer if the data pins are messed up. If it IS the phone's port, the repair isn't that bad and could be handle with some patience and simple tools as this one does not involve soldering. You'd need this:

Dude really thankful,
As you say, the PC dosn't recognize that the phone is plugged at all, I try all the usb port on my laptop, different cable, and even different laptop and the same problem keep comming up.
I tried also to reboot in odin mode to see if my laptop detecet anything, but nada, nothing in the DM.
Also, like you expect, it can charge but no data connection, and whene it turned off and I plug it it automaticly turned on by itself.
I pretty convinced that it usb port is screwed.
So, to install a rom my phone have to be rooted!! no way to root it from the recovery mode?!
Thanks again

You can try to clean your USB port of the phone with some compressed air, in case some pocket lint got in there too. Doesn't take much to mess these things up, unfortunately. But yea, I doubt there is a way to root it in the stock recovery as most Samsung phones don't have this option. It'd take less time to just fix it probably then figuring out how to jump through all the other hoops to find a way around it.
Hi , guy's , i cant find any other solutions on the net. i have an s6 edge that can't be recognized by the pc or mac, i tried everything all drivers, smart switch , kies, different pc's and mac, different cables, debugging mode on and off , but nothing worked, i even changed the entire USB-dock of the phone thinking it was faulty by a new one but its the same thing ( not recognized ) and by the way the phone can't " rapid-charge " both on the old and new usb-dock's , I tried the same aukey fast charging adapter on another s6 and it worked , my last hope now is the battery i know it may sound a little bit ridiculous but the phone has been exposed too much to hot sun the last summer so the battery inflated and pushed the back cover of my s6 edge , i thought maybe somehow it's because of this incident that the phone is not recognized by the pc , and that it couldn't get the "rapid-charging "
( note : that i had never connected the phone to a pc or had a rapid-charging adapter before the battery incident, so i couldn't know if the phone worked on the pc or could rapid-charge before or not "when the battery was ok ") .
am going to replace it ( the battery )in 3 days from the posting date of this thread and see what happens but please if you have a solution just let me now as soon as possible
Thank you very much ! .
In what condition is your phone? Does it work? Or is it dead or half dead?
Samsung Kies doesn't work anymore for S6 and S6 Edge!
S6 and s6 Edge = Smart Switch.
Enable smart switch on your device first before plugging it into a computer..
By the way, why do you even want to use Smart Switch or Kies or whatever?
What is your issue?
Btw, if you knew that your battery was inflated? Then why did you replaced the USB port instead of the battery?
The USB port should be long lasting for aslong as you haven't spilled anything on it or damaged it in one way or another, you couldn't damage the USB port unknowingly..
Hi, first of all thank you for your answer.
So my phone is in perfect condition and work great exept for the problem that i had mentionned above , i didn't know that kies does not work anymore, and i didn't know that i must enable smart switch on my phone first, i just knew that you can install it on pc (so it can install the samsung drivers) then you plug your device, my issue is that my phone get detected but does not get recognized by the pc like i mentionned above i did not know that the battery was inflated only after when i opened the phone to change the usb dock that i though was faulty because the phone did not want to sync with any pc . By the way i did change the battery by a new one today but the phone still wont sync and it still refuse to fast charge, i tried everything i don't know what to do anymore.
Thank you.
1st thing you must do to get the device to be detected by your computer, and so that you could get into your phone files through my computer is to download the drivers, they come with samsung kies, so you probably already have them installed.
2. Go into your computer task manager and make sure that Kies and Smart Switch are NOT RUNNING.
3. Go download official Odin 3.10.6 on this very website (XDA).
4. Run Odin as Administrator.
5. Put your device into download mode (push volume down, home and power button at the same time.)
6. Connect your device to your computer.
If Odin detected the phone and the tab turns blue? Which it should undoubtedly! UNLESS you haven't installed the drivers or your device isn't in Download mode.
7. Disconnect your device and AGAIN (push volume down, home and power button at the same time to get out of download mode.)
8. Restart your device as usual, let it boot up. In the meanwhile close Odin!
9. Do not open any Samsung program on your computer, once your device is rebooted, connect it to your computer as usual.
10. Go to "my computer" and look if you can see your device. (which should be the case)
Watch this video to enable Smart Switch on your device;
https://youtu.be/gebkpr6pMXs
You have changed the battery and dock, so this might be an uncommon software issue. So you probably want to flash your device so that you could get your fast charger to work again?
Don't become too desperate for such a minor issue, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Is your device rooted? If so you have probably already tripped Knox. In that case you would be better off using Odin to flash your device back to stock.
Note: Smart Switch doesn't flash the same rom unto your device, it might flash a rom of a different country.
(keeping in mind that i've read somewhere that Smart Switch might even trip Knox while flashing a device)
Everything is at your own risk, just as all of us.
Let us know how it goes.

I guess that your problem is solved.
For ANYONE who reads this;
When YOU get help on XDA or anywhere else and your problem is solved thanks to the help given, you MUST LEAVE A POST ON THE PAGE FOR OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM TO SEE!
DONT BE SELFISH!
Because many people might have the same problem, and many HELPFUL PEOPLE on XDA have stopped helping YOU simply because most of you are selfish and unthankful!
IF A TOPIC ISN'T CLOSED, PEOPLE WILL START NEW TOPICS WITH THE SAME QUESTIONS AND HELPFUL PEOPLE LIKE ME WILL FALL INTO REPETITION WHICH WON'T LAST VERY LONG!!
You people should remember, that you will UNDOUBTEDLY need help in the future and you won't get any help, and karma will make sure of that.
(too deen too daan!)
Be good and honest, don't go with the flow!
am sorry for the late answer but i was on a work trip and i left my s6 at home , just got home tonight , am gonna try this tomorrow and let you informed , thank you for your help
Hello,
I have a rooted Ematic EGS-102. Following some instructions to swap my internal sd with the external one (as the memory where the apps' data get downloaded to was only 500MBs), I believe I have typed something incorrectly inside the vold.fstab file, because after rebooting my tablet it's forever stuck on the logo screen. This is my first android tablet so please bear with me. The solution that comes to mind is to open the root files by some program on my PC and edit the vold.fstab file back (I even have a backed up version of it from a few weeks earlier), or even flash a new ROM. Now, the problem is, my computer cannot see my tablet when I connect it through USB. At all. Back before when the tablet was fine, I could use the USB to transfer files to and from my computer, but after I killed my tablet, my computer doesn't even make the sound which indicates that a USB device has been connected.
I have tried changing the USB cable and the port where I connect it to (never mind that the same cable and port work with other devices), to no avail. Having given up on the USB method working, I decided to follow some instructions on installing a custom ROM that has worked on EGS-004, and according to the one who posted that, would work on other variants such as EGS-102. Basically It was steps to installing the ROM from the external card through Recovery mode, which I followed thoroughly to no avail. The tablet still gets stuck on the "ematic" logo start screen.
I've noticed that in the Device Manager my tablet is displayed as "USB Device(VID_1f3a_PID_efe8)" with a yellow triangle mark indicating that it's not working properly (code 10). I tried searching that error code and trying all the solutions I found to no avail, including updating the driver (just refuses to update and keeps telling me that my driver is up to date.)
Sadly all the other methods that would have a decent shot at working (Root explorer on PC, android recovery program, even a flash EGS-004 firmware method on ematic's website) requires USB. I'm out of solutions, and unless I can get the USB to work somehow, or find out why the ROM method didn't work, my tablet would officially be dead. I'm utterly miserable that such a stupid mistake on my part ruined my tablet, and I have no way of buying another (broke student here) or returning it (out of warranty and I'm pretty sure I voided it anyway). I would absolutely appreciate any help, and thanks in advance.
Edit: It's stuck on logo screen, not a bootloop. I'm terribly sorry for this confusion, my head isn't straight right now.
Still haven't found a solution :/
