So I have looked everywhere, to find little results. I have the drivers on my laptop, but that one is crap and doesn't do much anyway. My desktop, for some reason, (Still runs Vista, gotta upgrade ;-; ) won't let me get the drivers. My phone does connect to BOTH computers, as QHSUSB__BULK which is good, I suppose, showing it has SOME life left in it. The screen DOES NOT turn on what so ever. I have tried most methods I can find. For some reason my debian machine is being screwy and isn't connecting to the internet, so I couldn't try one method I found. I do like this phone, (Better then the lumia 635 i am using now) Any ideas are appreciated, though if I can be told how to perform a factory reset through Debian Terminal, I would greatly appreciate that, if it is at all possible, especially because it seems to be my last resort.
It is the LG Optimus L90, model D415, I did root it.
HOW IT ALL HAPPENED:
I was using my phone
it overheated
i restart it, being it usually fixes this issue for me
it gets stuck in bootloop
usually happens, so i remove battery
doesnt turn back on
three months later, I am here
I realize I had the chance to get into recovery mode, but didn't because i panicked
Now I really want some help because developers choose to completely ignore the windows phone

Thanks in advance if anyone can come up with something that helps... I can't imagine what that might be though!
This morning I had a stock Mogul... original ROM, no hacks, even had the Sprint S/W on it. It worked fine.
I downloaded the new Sprint ROM 3.35.651.2 and ran it. While running the Mogul rebooted, went to bootloader, then failed. It was then stuck in bootloader mode. I read up and found that a successful flash should bring it out gracefully so didn't troubleshoot much. I tried a couple of times more to no effect. It was still in bootloader mode.
I then downloaded the old 2.17.651.0 ROM from HTC and that wouldn't work either. Still in boot loader mode.
I read somewhere that a guy got the 3.16.651.0 leaked ROM to update even when the others would not. So, I downloaded and tried it. Everything looked good! It was loading the ROM, the bar went across the screen to 100% and then...
nothing. A black screen. Vista loaded some new drivers and seemed to know there was a USB device attached but I couldn't connect to it in any useful way through Explorer and it didn't show up in the Mobile Device Center.
I thought I'd try flashing it again but since the screen was black I was just guessing. I did a hard reset (both soft keys plus soft reset button) and I got nothing... not even the same connection I'd had after the 3.16 update.
Now, I plug in the device and get no USB connect sound or notification in Windows. I get a orange light on the right LED for maybe 15 seconds then it goes out. Other than that one brief LED the thing is a brick as far as I can tell.
Any ideas? I plan on taking it in to Sprint tomorrow and telling them they bricked my phone with their update if I can't figure anything out tonight.
Thanks!
First POSSIBLY legitimate brick story I've seen.
Have you tried holding down power and camera while pressing reset to see if you can get back to bootloader?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes.
FYI... I just left the battery out for about 5 minutes (what the heck, worth a try right?) and put it back in. I get no lights, buttons do nothing, soft & hard reset do nothing, forced bootloader does nothing. The only way I can get the phone to do anything is to plug it in to a USB cable. The orange light comes on for about 15 seconds then goes out. The computer never recognized there is a new USB device attached.
I loaded many custom ROMs on my old 6700 and never had a problem. I leave my new 6800 alone and wait for the upgraded stock ROM and look what happens! Guess I shoulda used a custom ROM instead, eh?
lol sounds like a legitimate "brick" to me. Very strange, and congrats on your new mogul paperweight (i also have one that was a victim of water) haha, good for holding things down on the windy days.
Yup, bricked.
Sprint couldn't figure out how to unbrick it and just gave me a new phone. The new one upgraded nicely and now I have GPS!
Everyone enjoy the upgrade!
same problem
no need to retype what you said. i had the EXACT same problem. phone was completely bricked and continued to crash at 11%. I went to my local store (i work for sprint, and i know a smart tech there) and was told it was kaput. Hard reset, tried to reload other roms, the whole 9 yards. It's a goner, and now i have a new mogul in my hand. I'm afraid to try it again. I'm running vista, and im wondering if that's the problem.
Anyone with vista have the same bricking problem? Is it an issue to directly upgrade from factory rom to the 3.35? My old brick had the current 2.17 or whatever... HALP
Vista
The first time I tried the update I connected the Mogul to my Vista Business 64bit Thinkpad T61p.
The second time I tried it (on the new Mogul) was from my Vista Business 32bit desktop (white box).
I don't know if that helps or not. The second time went smoothly.
On another note... an entertaining one... while I was in the Sprint store today waiting for their tech to confirm that the phone was bricked another guy came in with a Mogul and complained of the same thing. I took the last Mogul they had in stock. Poor guy. I hope they get more soon... there are a lot of people who want GPS and are upgrading their phones. That means there are gonna be some more bricks I'd think.

Hello
I have just recently obtained an HTC Desire HD from my brother, to start off with the hardware has been well taken care of, he is always careful, it was always in an otter case, and ran perfectly scratch free when I got it, so I already know there is nothing wrong with the hardware.
I was trying to root the device, I was using these instructions;
"how to permanently root Telus HTC Desire HD" (was going to be link but I can't yet)
The problem being that he had kept it well updated so I had to change the method a bit. I had to use the tacoroot method, it worked well, I was able to obtain "#" in the ADB, and modify my Misc_version. I then had trouble getting a hold of the PD98IMG.zip, I finally found one in the DHD_Downgrade_package.zip from "Downgrading and Rooting Your HTC Desire HD" (again would have been link) .
I then went to flash it, I had trouble because I didn't know you had to make a new goldcard every 2 uses or so, so that took a while, but when I realized that this morning I got to it, I flashed it, it let me and then that's where it all went down hill, or rather stopped.
It was flashing fine, as far as I saw it only needed to flash the radio. I was in the middle of making my lunch for work so I wasn't watching in intently.
When I looked back at it after a minute or so (and I had checked it in between, it was going fine) it was suddenly a blank screen, and I knew it was supposed to ask if I want to restart, I left it for a minute to nothing. then I decided to try force it to reboot, nothing.
Where I'm at now is that I've realized if I leave it with the battery in it for about five minutes or so it does turn on, only gets as far as the htc logo, and vibrates for probably 60 seconds. If its plugged into my computer, when its done vibrating my computer recognizes it (it dings and if I go under manage for my computer, its under devices) but that's it. Cant get into hboot as far as I've been able to try, though I haven't held the buttons for the entire five minutes, and ADB doesn't recognize it.
Please someone help, I am fairly newbish with android, I do have a tablet with android, but its from china so it barley counts lol.
Thanks a lot

Hi Guys,
Hoping someone can help me - I've searched the forum and can't find a similar thread. Essentially, after months of trying to get a refund on this crap phone, I give in - the issues with this phone are longer than my ****.
Long story short, I installed this ROM using TWRP: http://www.needrom.com/download/umi_iron/#comment-269759
However, after reboot, the phone now literally boots up for a second and resets - I cannot get into Recovery and no matter if I hold power the button and volume, it will not respond. I have SP Flash Tool, but when I connect the phone to my PC, the PC recognises it for a second and then the phone reboots and loops.
To be honest, I've never used SP-Flash Tool and when I power up USBDeview here is what I'm presented with.

The only thing that happens is when I get the USB connected Windows sound, MT65xxx preloader goes from connected YES to connected NO.
If anyone has any ideas or can give me a bit of guidance, I will bloody well buy you a pint if you are ever in Liverpool, UK.
Oh and the UMI forum is beyond idiotic - I can't even login and when I do, I can't post - I can't verify and it is just a mess.
Let's just say, I will never buy from this company again as all I have with this phone is issue after issue after issue after issue.
Greetings,
I'm new in this Forum. I have been searching all around internet about my problem and couldn't find any solution, so I'm here calling for help from you.
My problem is quite simple to describe. I have my old friend's phone, who left it at my house 6 months ago. Now that my friend is gone, I'm trying to fix this phone.
The issue is that it has a Power Button broken (I can't start it on) so I have to plug it, but once done it can't go beyond the logo, then it keeps restarting again and again and again until I remove the battery. At this point, I told myself that I only have to do a factory reset and flash it, but then after installing the drivers, getting the firmware ready and stuff, when booting the phone to the flashboot mode, it keep restarting again and again and again...
Is there anyway to fix this? Or does it mean that the phone is gone?
Hi, I'm new in this but I'm also desperate for help. For starters, I live in Venezuela so it's a bit troublesome to visit a proper tech service and stuff. Well, as I said in the title, the problem with my phone is that it keeps getting stuck in the LG logo. I've already flash it several times, but this solution only seems to work for a few days. I'll explain the problems in a chronological order
1) I dropped my phone in january and the screen broke, so I bought a new one along with a new touch screen. At that time, the only problem that I had was that, even though I had a SIM card in my phone, it didn't have any mobile network signal. I tried many things but gave up on that and the problem's still with me
2) In an attempt to fix that issue, I factory reseted my phone and since that time I got the feeling that something was off with my device but I dind't pay attention to it cos my phone was working appareantly fine
3)After that my device started to get laggy and I tought it was the battery because sometimes it was at 87% and when you turn it off and turn it on again, the battery was at 67% in an instant. It wasn't that bad so I kept using it like that
4) Sometime around last month my phone reboot itself (it was usual that when my device got reaaally laggy it reboots itself). The problem was that it got stuck in the LG logo so I look for solutions and end up flashing it.
5) It worked for a few weeks but the cycle started again. Laggy and then stuck in LG logo. I bought a new battery (wich works fine) thinking that this would solve the problem so I did a factory reset, flash it and then turn it on but the problem still didn't go away.
I'm desperate for help cos I need my phone to work and since I live in Venezuela, I really need the money and obviosuly, I can't afford to buy a new device. Could someone help me?
A little note here. I tried upgrading the software using "LG Mobile Support Tool 2014" but the app shuts down before downloading the upgrade. I don't know if it's due to my laptop being really old (Acer Aspire 5920). I know I have A LOT of troubles but I'm in need of a friendly help!
