I have a question.
I just broke my phone following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1702815
I followed every step in this thread, but when I want to power up my phone it doesn't do anything
No vibration, nothing. Volume+ and power button also don't work..
I think I broke my phone...
Is there any way to make my phone work again?
PLEASE HELP!!!
I think you're phone is permanently bricked . You might be able to recover it using ATF (Advance Turbo Flasher) but that requires buying special hardware and soldering it to your mainboard, and I'm pretty sure it would be expensive. If you're still under warranty, you might be able to have it replaced by Nokia.

That's not good :s
I bought the phone from someone else so i think no warranty.
I have to buy a new one i'm afraid.
Thanks for your response!

Maybe it's not to late, bozzy.
You can see if you have warranty just by checking your imei number, if yes just bring it to an ncs point.
Just read this and check your emei on the bottom of the page.

Goodluck
Yeah, I think the warranty might still work. I myself bought my phone from eBay, and I sent it in for repair because the battery cover was getting loose. It hasn't arrived at Nokia's Repair Center yet, but they checked the warranty from the IMEI number and sent me a prepaid shipping label so it looks like they'll accept it.
Mine still had the Qualcomm bootloader when I sent it so I'm not sure if they'll actually repair it, but since yours doesn't boot at all, I'm guessing they'll just flash back to stock without even checking to see if you rooted it or anything. They are supposed to be getting mine on Monday, so I guess I'll post back if they refuse to repair it because the bootloader is modified or because I'm not the original owner.
Hi guys, first of all, sorry for my english, i hope you understand me.
My phone doesnt turn on at all after i removed the battery because it was frozen after installing this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468880. it even doesnt charge.
I already tried all fllashing guides with no success, actually i got enter in fastboot mode and sw upgrade mode, but after 1 or a bit more minute it turns off.
I tried to flash the x-loader and u-boot using the lelus script, but i get the errors shown in the pictures.

The "Remote Partition doesn't exist" error in the second output log that you posted, indicates that you have a hardware problem/fried Emmc. I don't know of any solution to fix that other than, a warrant claim through LG or possibly having it repaired at a service center with an Octopus Box, which does support the LG L9.

Ok, so now my phone is a stone, warrant claim will not work for me. I am thinking on buying a phone for replacement on ebay and change the board, that should bring my phone alive again isnt ? My phone also was sim unlocked, if the board of the phone replacement also is unlocked, it will on my phone ?
Do you guys know if the board of the P769 is compatible with other L9 models ?

There are so many L9 variants... If your going to purchase a device and disassemble it, then swap parts into you existing phone, I would only recommend trying to replace the mother board from an exact same model, P769. It's definitely possible that the MS769 (metropcs version) would work, as it's identically the same phone.
If the new phone is SIM unlocked, then Yes... Technically after repairing your L9, it should be SIM unlocked as well.
Out of curiosity... If your buying a new/used, SIM unlocked L9 off of eBay or swappa, then why not just use that new phone, instead of tearing it down and your old L9 down and swapping/replacing the mother boards?

Hi xdrc45, since i only need to replace the board, im thinking buy one of those that has broken screen or poor fisical condition but working complete, those are cheaper

Lol.. OK, now that makes sense. I was just curious and thought I'd ask. I haven't looked, but it seems like you could get them pretty cheap in that condition... Especially since a new one or fully working used one, go for a decent price to begin with.
If your looking at them on eBay you might want to also check out Swappa. There's a link to it up above in the XDA header and a lot of the devices on there are from different android forums members.
I have searched eBay and Google with various searches but have found nothing. My g3 Sim card readers pins have been damaged and I was wondering if anyone knew of a place to buy a lot for repair. I can find replacement parts for many other phones but not the g3. Anyone have a link or know how to obtain this part? Or maybe even how to fix it? I got the phone very cheap to use as a media device but if I can fix it I would use it. Thanks a lot.
Probably need a whole new motherboard
OP, did you get your phone repaired? If so, where and how much was it?
Hey guys, I bought a G2 Mini for a cheap price (under $100), but it's locked for Vodafone, and I'm on T-Mobile. It wouldn't be a problem, as I can unlock it on eBay for $3 or so, but it still has more than a year of warranty, and I don't want to lose it.
My question is: is there any method to carrier unlock this device, with a gadget like Turbo SIM (which doesn't work with recent Android versions as I read) or something, so I won't lose my warranty? Or I can only hope that they won't recognize the unlock at LG Service Center, if I have any kind of problem? I've got an Optimus L9 which had some issues, it has unlocked bootloader but they replaced its motherboard without a question, I know it's not the same, but you know.. it's still possible. I appreciate any kind of help, thanks!
dont ask me how but today i burned my internal memory chip in the motherboard, it was real hot like 140-160 degrees F for 15 mins or so
now i need to replace the motherboard and the thing is my phone is h960ay model, its not a common model and its hard to find motherboards for this model. i found some motherboards of the same phone but in a different model
so can i fit not the same model motherboard to my h960ay? (H901 or VS990 motherboard to h960ay?)

yes you can fit all V10 variants motherboard into your V10 chassis. that is not a problem.
Does the logic board have your IMEI/ESN on it? I was thinking about this the other day when I was looking for one for a different phone. And if so that could give you a issue with your carrier unless it's unlocked.
Just a thought.

There are V10 unlocked motherboards shipped from China available on eBay.com and aliexpress. They are cheaper on aliexpress. Mine is bricked too after a marshmallow update for h901. My v10 is h901 with vs990 motherboard, which I didn't know about till after it bricked. I am considering buying one of those unlocked motherboards too. I am waiting for someone to confirm if it's advisable buying from these sellers and whether they would directly work after fitting them in my phone chassis without any further updates or tweaks.
Can I replace a single-sim model of a motherboard with a two-sim variant motherboard?

Yes you can
i've just got my motherboard replaced at a non-LG repair shop yesterday and when i got home i realized the memory was actually new - previously i was on android nougat - now this is android oreo and there is no IMEI on it. *#06# shows 2 line of 0 (Dual SIM). when i try to get it to upgrade via LG Bridge, i think it failed due to no valid IMEI and when i tried to do OTA, it says my phone is not activated.
I've tried entering my previous IMEI via hidden menu, and i got the LG bridge to recognize the device and found the nougat update but after it tries to download and update the phone, it failed (at 1%). Does anyone have a solution on how i can get things back together to update back to Nougat?
Thanks!

There's no Oreo for LG V10, so probably you are saying you are on Marshmallow and now you are on Nougat.
And if there's no IMEI for sure the motherboard is refurbished and soon you will have problems with it, almost every person who buy "new" motherboards or replace them with ebay ones someday will get again bootloops and so on.
use UPPERCUT to try reflash the phone firmware, if this doesnt work then you are screwed.

Thanks, you are right, Marshmallow rom - Android 6. The shop said the board is "new"... not sure if it's refurbished or not, let me give it a try and see where it'll get me, thanks shinning man!

install CPU Temp app or something that can monitorize your cpu temperature and be careful, if they dont go higher than 42/45 then you are good.

it did the trick, now it's back on Nougat and seems to be running smoothly, thanks mate!:good:
I changed my Lg V10 motherboard, not my SIM card is not working in the phone. I checked the IMEI number I get 0-04. This was bought from aliexpress can anything be done to rectify this SIM card issue?

So you reckon getting mainboards replaced officially by LG should be exempted from the bootloop issue am I understanding this correct?

is not 100% guarantee but a motherboard replaced by LG is more secure to not have bootloop than the ebay sold ones.
Strange is my V10 is still alive after 2 years and 3 months, its my daily driver and i use and abuse from it it never die, im feeling lucky in this wole story.
