Hi all,
I have a Star/Bluebo B6000 phone which I believe is based on the MediaTek 6589T.
I followed the procedure here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206421
to set up a new ROM for the phone.
I seemed to have gotten it all done properly, but the phone only stays connected for about 2 seconds. The SP Flash tool moves into the red progress bar and then just fails.
Luckily, there isn't any software damage on the phone (from the look of it).
I'm trying to put in a new ROM to actually fix a previous issue where my phone remains on but when I press the home button or the power button the screen stays blank. Think a new ROM/fresh start may solve this.
But the core issue is that I am unable to put in a new ROM because the phone doesn't remain connected long enough.
Is there a solution to this? Or is there another way to install ROMS?
Thanks.
There are several things the issue could be.
Try running SP Flash Tools as Admin.
Try a different USB cable.
Try uninstalling current drivers and using PDANet VCOM USB drivers
Try a different PC
Try MTK Flash Tool as opposed to SP Flash Tool.
Make sure the scatter is correct. Create a new scatter with MTK Droid Tools
None of them work.
I've tried 4 different cables. MTK and SP tools.
It seems as though something is wrong with my preloader. When I try to 'restore factory settings' or even try to restart in recovery mode, the phone doesn't do anything. It's almost as though these modes don't exist or are bugged/busted.
EDIT: Yes, it seems to be some kind of preloader issue. When the phone is OFF, I connect the USB (which the computer recognises) and the within 2 seconds the 'disconnect' sound comes up. Within 2 seconds after that the battery charging shows up on the phone.
I say this because when the phone is ON, I am able to transfer files onto the phone and treat the phone as a normal connection. Something within the phone's software is causing SP Tools/MTK Tools/Other drivers not connect to it. I have a feeling I may have a corrupt/broken preloader/recovery system.
Thanks for the help. Please do advise as to what I can do.
Anyone?
Really could use some help.

Hi, did you manage to get this sorted?
I have an LG E435g. I tried to flash another version of stock firmware (V20a_00) using KDZ updater tool. It did flash, but my phone is f***d. The screen is totally black (no logo,etc.). My PC recognizes that it is connected, but I cannot load MTP driver for file transfers. It was in debug mode during flash, but isn't now because I can't use adb. Have tried everything in forums, nothing changes. I will pay ANYONE to fix as I am at wits end and know just enough to screw s**t up. Totally unable to get into download mode, emergency mode,etc. Phone is not rooted and the bootloader is locked.
No problem

My friend gave me a phone that does not respond to anything, no react for VolumeUP + PowerButton without battery, it does not detect the computer* What can I do? Anny ideas? Its finally bricked or what?
My computer try to install ONE driver when i randomly plugged my USB cable to my phone, but not succeeded up
After that what i said about driver, i never be able to see this window with this driver after this one time.
Name of the driver - OMAP4430
Hope you help me with this.
Small wonder, w/o battery.
Unless you want to invoke download mode to flash a stock rom with LGs flash tool. But even that probably requires a battery, despite some people saying the opposite. Download mode: Keep volume pushed while attaching phone via usb. Battery can/must stay in.
hi try reinstall x loader you need install the drivers omap and use mode fastboot... search how to install driver omapp (search here in xda ) and the folder fastboot has a file .bat you run it and show you the option
hi everyone
well like the tittle say.my problems is with a verizon variant i just got.for some reason the phone wont connect to pc
installed drivers and still nothing the phone charges fine when connected but the computer wont even see it,i try 3 different computers and nothing move the usb cable a little to see i f theres any sort of sign of connection but nothing..
i think maybe is a hardware issue but just want to try everything before giving up.
also cant install tot because the phone wont connect to pc
Hi, are you using the original USB cable? After you connect the phone to the PC, have you given the PC up to 10 minutes to load the driver that you had previously installed? Depending on various factors it can take 5-10 minutes, and it has to do it all over again for every new/different USB port you try. After 5-10 minutes when you're trying it in Download mode, see what Windows' Device Manager says in the Modem and Port sections. If it lists "LGE..." device then it sees it.
For flashing from a PC, use a USB 2.0 port that comes directly from the PC's motherboard - not a USB 3.x port, and not through a USB hub.
Try rebooting the phone and the PC while they're not connected to each other.

Are you on CM? If so, try going into developer options, there is a usb option in there to take it off charge and put it on MTP

Hi all, I will try to be as detailed as possible.
I have a MetroPCS LG MS323 which I bought as a second phone to use when I travel as my regular phone is CDMA and I wanted a GSM phone that I could use with a sim card. While on an overseas trip I paid a cellphone place to unlock the phone so I could use other carriers' sim card, it was working fine since then. However, as I don't use the phone on a regular basis it ended up sitting and the battery lost its charge. When I tried to charge it by usb, it started bootlooping (vibrate, LG logo, repeat). After that I pulled the battery and charged it using an external charger. The phone is not rooted. I tried the factory reset key combo, but it gets stuck on the screen which says factory reset processing........ endlessly. I tried to download kdz file and flash with LG flash tool but phone cannot get into download mode. When I press vol key and plug usb cable, it says LOADING.......... press volum up key until download mode starts But it gets stuck there and download mode never starts.
I downloaded adb and fastboot to a Windows 7 laptop, and LG drivers, but when I connect phone and open a terminal adb devices shows no phone connected.
I also downloaded Laf.img for this phone and Laf recovery tool for Windows but again I cannot seem to get computer to see the phone. If I try to use the tool it says "waiting for device"
One difficulty is to trying to plug phone to computer the right way.
Most of the threads say to have phone in battery charge mode with usb debugging enabled, but I can't select any settings if the phone is bricked.
If I just plug the phone to usb when it is turned off it shows a picture of battery but no sign of charging, and computer doesn't detect phone.
If I plug phone to usb first, then hold vol and power key the LG logo will go black and it vibrates, in that case sometimes the Windows laptop will see 2 folders, verinfo and image.
When I plug usb cable to Linux computer and phone is off, same thing just picture of battery but terminal only shows sda1 sda2 sda3 etc no sdb no sdc just like not detected.
If I hold vol down then plug usb it vibrates and stuck on LG logo.
I have also tried to plug usb, then press vol down and power until phone vibrates, then try to let go buttons before LG logo shows up. but it doesn't mount.
If I hold vol up and power, then plug usb. it vibrates and goes to LG logo.
Last night somehow I got it to mount on the linux computer but the file manager was going crazy opening multiple windows and a list of folders would show up for a second, disappear and reappear as if the system was trying to read the folders but having difficulty. Today I am not able to get it to mount.
I have downloaded a linux livecd with adb and fastboot, I haven't tried it yet because I am not sure the path to flash an img file from a different directory on the hard drive on the windows laptop.
I have downloaded aboot.img but don't know how I can flash it if I can't see the phone on any computers.
I have spent days searching for solutions but have not seen the exact same problem, other threads suggest things but often the symptoms are slightly different or with a different phone. So, first of all I need to know what kind of brick I have, because other solutions I have seen posted for completely black screen, or phone detected as qhsusb qualcomm etc. which seems like a different problem.
So the 2 main things are 1, to know which kind of brick because many of the solutions I see posted seem like a different problem.
second, what is the best way to plug to computer so I can see the phone?
I burned a live CD of FWUL and ran adb from linux, still says adb devices nothing shows up. usb cable is plugged in and phone is turned off. Am I doing this wrong? I held down power and vol down until phone vibrates and LG logo appears. adb devices - "list of devices attached" still has nothing showing.. I don't know why even in Linux I can't see any device attached. Also I tried with pressing vol up and power until phone vibrates.
ls /dev/sd* only shows sda sda1 sda2 etc
I have also looked at past threads about unlocking the L70 bootloader, but the bootloader.zip no longer links and the phone does not have busybox installed.
I tried to see it Windows Device Manager but it does not show up anywhere.
This probably won't help, but, when you're at this point, you'll try about anything.
Did you fully install the LG drivers on your PC? Obvious seeming question. I was doing an old Droid Bionic a couple months ago and didnt' switch the USB modes (charging, media, file transfer, whatever it had) to each mode before modding .
As a result, I bricked that Droid bad. It took me almost a week and a half to restore it. I'm not sure if LG drivers work the same way, though I've worked on plenty of them. I think I have an LG Leon still in the scrap heap as a result of trying to replace a cracked digitizer that was bonded to the LCD. If anyone needs parts for one, I've got em, cheap I think that's an MS345 if I recall.

Thanks, yes I had installed latest LG drivers LGMobileDriver WHQL Ver 4.2.0 before trying to flash .kdz file.
A tiny bit of progress to report, after getting a perfect timing to release the power and vol down keys I was finally able to connect to Windows machine. while waiting for drivers to install it was detected as QHSUSB_BULK in device manager, after drivers loaded now it is listed as LGE AndroidNet USB Serial {port (COM4). However when I run adb I still cannot see an attached device. I will look at solutions for the specific type of brick problem which has now been identified.

What I meant was after initially installing the drivers did you switch the USB mode on your LG to all possible settings? Some drivers (like Moto) install more functions only when first called. you'll know if you switch from say charging to MTP or RNDIS you'll see driver install reopen.
also when you first ran ADB and plugged in the phone you probably should have seen more drivers install.
Forgive me if I seem to insult your intelligence. I'm an IT pro w 30 yrs in tech and I didn't know about the multi driver USB functions.
Tom Sgt aka Rootjunky has a good video on this that i initially didn't watch figuring I'd been installing drivers forever. 5 more minutes of watching it would have saved near 40 hrs of work and research

thanks, I found his video for the G2 and no, I have never seen that with the drivers before! good to know. You can't insult my intelligence because most of this is over my head and I'm just trying to follow stuff I found with Google on XDA......
I downloaded and installed the Qualcomm drivers to try and identify if I have the 9006 or 9008 variety brick. However now when I plug in the phone Windows waits to install drivers, then says successful, when I look in device manager now I can't find the phone. But I did notice on the taskbar now there appears an icon named "intel graphics media accelerator driver for mobile" perhaps that is the driver Windows assigned to it? Device manager does have Intel Graphics Media Accelerator under display adapters. The other weird thing is that now it shows the battery as charging, which it never did the other times I plugged it into usb.

have you seen this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2773123
it has the firmware for your model links to drivers and the LG flash tool, (which is warned against newbies (what the hey, it can't get much worse, we were all newbies once, )
Can you boot into fastboot? if so, you could flash the firmware with that.

Hi, yes although those links no longer work I have found the drivers and flashtool elsewhere. If I try to run flashtool it cannot see the phone. I cannot get into fastboot, and download mode won't load. I cannot see the phone on any Linux machine. The most I can do it see the phone as E: Qualcomm MMC storage USB device in Device Manager, but no other details. Explorer can see 2 folders, image and verinfo. Is there anything I can do with these folders in Windows? adb and fastboot run from terminal still do not list any attached device. Windows did a search for drivers for QHSUSB_BULK, although in device manager it still says LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM5).
What I really want to do at this point is push aboot.img to the phone, but for some reason I can't access the phone with Linux or adb. maybe because it did not have usb debugging enabled before it bricked. So many of the threads I have seen require a working phone to implement the steps, is there any way to enable usb debugging when the phone doesn't work?

Of course, I had forgotten about that. In order to use fastboot, most flashing tools, you HAVE to have USB debugging on.
There are occasional ways around this, though they are few. I do seem to recall oding it on that LG Leon. OR it may have been a Moto e or G, let me look back at previous threads i've asked for help in.
(Hmm, perhaps taking notes, or just leaving a webcam running while I'm doing a new device might be valuable in the future, I think with remarkable hindsight.) :cyclops:

And no, you can't do anything to Android files in Windows, except see them. they are generally a different file system
One of the difficulties is just plugging it to a PC. 9 out of 10 times it is not recognized and nothing happens. So far the only way that seems to occasionally work is to plug the usb cable to the Windows 7 laptop, hold vol down and power, release both as soon as it vibrates. Most of the time I can't get it timed exactly right, but if I'm lucky sometimes Windows will detect the usb connection by following these steps. If I try on a Linux machine nothing happens, phone stays invisible. The most I've gotten with Linux is to charge the battery, but will not mount.
It is just a stock phone, not rooted, no busybox, no developer options enabled.
