Hello guys,
Ive been lurking here for a while and i finally thought about joining the gang.
I cant find the LG E510 thread here so please move my thread if this place is inappropriate. Thank you.
I updated this E510 via the LG mobile support software and the install [after downloading firmware] got stuck at around 4% then at 14%
The software prompted me to remove the phone from connection, pull out the battery then try again. Now its stuck at boot screen.
I can start up the "Emergency Mode", where its the only way my PC can recognize the device connected. I tried using the LG software again but i get this:
Hard reset is said to be VolDown + Home + Power On yet it doesnt work, only gets to logo.
This is an unrooted phone that why i used LG-provided update software.
THe PC can detect the devices and installed drivers. The software can too, but this error is persistent.
A friend said something about disabling the LG modem in the device manager but i still get this error.
I have ADB which i used sometime ago with my HTC but the ADB says device not found.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
*** SOLVED
I dont know what exactly made it work but i did the following.
Disabled [not uninstall] all other devices installed by the phone except the LG Android Platform
- disable and restart. if uninstall is used windows will just install it again after restart. disable.
- may be a problem with my PC that it has difficulties connecting with the phone if the other child devices are on
Uninstalled the Update Software and Installed it again
This time i clicked Options > Update Recovery
- prompted for my Phone Model + SN or just the IMEI <- brainfart on my part shouldve seen this earlier
The software downloaded the exact same firmware V10H_00.kdz and installed it. Success!
Maybe there was something bad with the first one i downloaded being on WiMax connectivity.
I feel so stupid right now being unobservant and all...
Anyway thank you!
All right, I have a question... I have tried a root method for Alcatel OT-918 from your forums, and it worked... but after some time, I turned my phone off and then it would suddenly go to Android screen and restart itself and then go to Android startup screen and do the same, it caught in a loop, although it had worked for weeks after I rooted in... anyway... I sent it to repair service and they said that only thing they did is upgraded software as suggested by manufacturer. Now when I try to root my phone using FlashTool and a given scatter file for my android I simply can not, it says "Can not find USB port." Although I have all the drivers installed and everything is working properly... nevertheless, when I tried to install alternative usb_driver, I got an error saying "no device tree"... Anyway, I really need a solution and find out why is this happening...
[Q] "Can not find USB port" & "Device tree not found". How to fix it? Alcatel OT-918.
And so I went to root my phone few months ago, I tried to install USB driver for my phone and got "Device tree not found", nevertheless I managed to flash a custom recovery using FlashTool and root it from there.
However, after several weeks, something went wrong and my phone went into soft-brick or boot-loop. I sent it to repair service and they said that all they did is updated the software (firmware most likely) as suggested by manufacturer, my mobile phone worked fine.
Now I want to root it due to lack of internal storage memory, however I can't flash a custom recovery to begin with, I get this "Can not find USB port" and my phone is fully charged, turned off and has no connection issues.
I'd like to know some alternative methods to rooting my Alcatel OT-918 or simply how to fix this error or just how do I downgrade my firmware to its rootable stage.
Thanks in advance!
From Alcatel OT-918's TapTalk 2. (not rooted)
Still no one to even attempt to help? Really? Come on... this just keeps on bugging me... the fact that for some reason I cannot root my phone anymore...
Such a great community! Really awesome that everyone is trying to help! Seriously?
I am desperate over here, this was posted many months ago, over 100 views and no one to even bother...
Hi! I really head your help!! I looked a lot around and followed lots of guides on how to revive my phone, but i've some big issue with it and i really hope that someone here may help me...
The Hard Brick (it won't turn on, it won't charge, it seems like he's totally dead) occurred the other day, i was trying to open googlemaps and the SP was really slow, so i turned it off, and then i wasn't able to turn it on again, at first it was stucked at the screen with the logo (before the splash animation, the logo that you can't normally change) then i managed to turn it on after 2 or 3 times taking off the SD card, but i got a corrupted homescreen, i turned it off again and then, after 2 or 3 times, i got the Hard Brick!!
Probably in my last attempts i created a bounch of errors in the rom that bricked my phone.
Here's what i've done to revive it:
- SPFlashTool 1332.0.187
- official drivers, recovery, rom, etc, from the jiayu.es website.
- removed the battery, manually installed the drivers.
- with spft i loaded the scatter file of the official rom and started the format:
the phone is recognised as Mediatek USB VCOM (Android) (COM3)
i always got the error: S_COM_PORT_OPEN_FAIL (1013)/B] (with every option available)
I tryied to download only the preloader.bin and the recovery.img but i recive the same error.
- someone give me an advice: to remove every old driver for the phone and leave the SPFlashTool to recognise the phone forcing the installation of the drivers. And i really don't get how to do it, the windows update automatically detect the device, if i stop the windows update i simply get an unknown device, the SPFT don't have a chance to recognise it and force the installation of the drivers.
Does anyone of you have a solution, a similar problem, a way to revive my cellphone?
I really can't effort another one XD

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is a guide right here
I already tryied to revive my phone with this guide, but with no success...
I was thinking that maybe someone can show me the right driver (with all the package of driver that i find i always have no idea which one i've to install)
And maybe someone already tryied to revive a jiayu g4a and know the name of the right preloader, 'cause apparently what i need to do is to download into the SP the right preloader to revive it...
Hi guys,
I just bought two brandnew Cube U27GT S (MTK 8127) tablets and tried to install a custom rom. Unfortunately the tab hard bricked while trying to flash it with SPFT. Now I can´t turn on the tab anymore - all black. I even can´t open the recovery mode and Win 7 doesn´t found the tab anymore, it shows unknown device in the device manager!?
Meanwhile I deinstalled all MTK drivers with usbdeview and installed them again with the help of the second tab. But it has no effect of the damaged one it´s still an unkown device.
Maybe anyone has an idea how to unbrick it? Would be great to get any help! :crying:
No hope anymore?
I have the same problem can only get into recovery, factory reset does seem to do anything still hangs on boot, looks like I need to update via sdcard?
