Once you got into android modding, an unrooted phone becomes almost useless.
Now my problem is that I´ve got one.
Couple of days ago my Elephone P9000 arrived from amazon but I can´t connect it to a PC since it says that no device is detected.
Yes, the drivers are installed properly!
I thought that isn´t a problem because there is Kingroot.
Turns out the following rooting apps don´t work for me:
Kingroot (Kingoroot), iRoot, z4root, Framaroot, Towelroot, Oneclickroot, Universal Androot, Root Genius, Baidu
Custom Recovery isn´t installed because, of course, no root.
Now how do I root?

The first thing you need to accomplish is to get your PC to recognize your phone, rooting from there is going to make life easier, but yes, I know you already know that. If your using windows 10, maybe check this thread out on Elephone Forum:

Firstly is your PC finding your phone ok with the PC on? If yes.. all good - if no you need to sort this out first.
Then, ensure you have installed the MTK driver on your PC (these are the Media Tek drivers which will find your phone when it is off) instructions here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042
Then flashtools should work fine with your phone off.
Just a tip using FlashTools (Im on windows 10 - I dont know if this applies to other windows)
In flashtools, press download first (without phone connected), give it 5 secs and then connect your phone to your PC with the volume up button pressed at the same time. Once you see FlashTools starting to flash your phone, release the volume button. I have to do this all the time in order for my phone to be found on Windows 10.

To start of, I am using Windows 10 as you do.
When I connect my phone when it´s turned on, I get the small icon in the taskbar that allows me to remove the device safely or open devices and printer.
There, my device is put to a section called not specified and it has a small yellow icon.
Only is it called "P9000" which is alright.
Windows explorer acts like no device is connected at all.
When I connect my phone as it is turned off, I still get the notification "USB Device wasn´t recognized." and
windows explorer still doesn´t care as well as the flash tool.
The link you gave me isn´t the one I previously used to install the drivers so I gave it a try.
There are two different ways mentioned in the posts #1 and #4 so I started with the first one.
(Spoiler: Both don´t work for me!)
Everything worked until a step almost at the end where I am told to connect my off-switched phone to the pc.
The tutorial tells me that there should now be a preloader unknown device or something at Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) that I would need to proceed further.
I didn´t get that one.
Dead end for me so I went on to the next tutorial in post #4.
In that post I am told to remove a MTK USB Port at Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) right after installing the .inf driver files (Yes, I installed the 64 bit version and do have a 64 bit PC).
Ignoring that step didn´t help any of the problems I had before so I got a dead end here, too.
The "Volume-Up-Trick" did help me neither, probably cause of the not working drivers.

Ok first things first, lets make sure your P9000 is fine with your phone on. You said:

(make sure in dev options on your phone USB debugging is ON and USB config is MTP)
So from that you simply need to (In Device Manager) right click > Update Driver Software > Browse My PC for Driver Software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers from my PC > then choose MTP USB Device
Once windows installs this, a box should pop up showing your P9000 internal storage and SD Card (if you have one in phone)
To ensure that your PC is now finding your phone ok, restart PC and plug your phone in - you should be prompted by windows to choose a default action when this device is connected (I choose transfer files or something similar). Then everytime you connect your phone, a box will pop up showing allowing you to access your P9000.
Now onto when your P9000 is switched off... (the important part for flashing etc)
I followed the instructions at post #4 as I believe due to the anniversary update on windows 10 (the January update I believe) .. if you do not have the January update installed on your PC you would use the instructions #1
Don't worry too much if you receive "USB device not recognised" initially, (from what I have understood this is normal with the Anniversary addition of windows 10) it should disappear after few seconds or so. From what I worked out following post #4 you are kinda installing a MTK device (just so you can install the drivers) and then uninstalling that device BUT keeping the drivers installed (its VERY important when you uninstall the device you untick the delete drivers too, otherwise you have essentially deleted the MTK drivers & would have to start from scratch from post #4)
For me, when I connect my p9000 when its off it still shows "USB device not recognised", then after a few seconds this goes away and I dont have any errors under Device Manager > Ports (COM & LPT) & flashtools works fine as long as I press vol up as I connect my phone.
Hope this helps, I had a headache when I tried to install MTK drivers with my windows 10 (Anniversay Update Edition) - good luck, it was kinda trial and error

I am running the Anniversay Update Edition and don´t get an popup window when connecting my phone turned on.
As far is I can tell, a working connection with the device running is more important in the first place.
Now I don´t quite understand your instructions at this point:

In Device Manager right click, but where?
Blank space? Definetly not.
According to the linked tutorial, I´d have to right click on something like "unknown device" or something similar.
But that doesn´t show up in my list.

I can understand the point but after installing that driver package, there is no MTK device in my device manager that I could uninstall.
I seriously need to thank you for wasting so much time on me:angel:
When you plug your p9000 (while its turned on) into your laptop/pc... in Device Manager, probably under Universal serial Bus Controllers do you see a unknown device, or anything with a question mark / unknown device beside it ? If so, that's where you right click and follow instructions above to get your PC to recognize your handset. At this point just concentrate on getting pc to recognise while its on, then hopefully we can then move to setting up when its off.

Well, that solved all of my problems...
Almost...
Drivers are fully working for me now so I wanted to flash TWRP with SP Flash Tool to be able to flash the superuser .zip file.
Since drivers work now, flash tool started flashing and gave me the error you can see in the attached screenshot.
Fortunately, my phone isn´t bricked or anything.
Edit: After a couple of reboots of all my devices, I get back to where I was before: USB Device wasn´t recognized and Flash Tool doesn´t do anything.

All cool & its an easy thing to miss when your not looking for it (or for that matter if you dont know that menu even existed)
That error is a preloading error, I'm assuming your flashing TWRP Recovery and like you I had similar issue - I shared a simple solution here that worked for me here (it should work fine as long as you are on Stock Elephone 2016810 Base onwards so I believe, Elephone changed the preloader or something like that in later ROMS)
So Basically, you download the Stock Elephone 2016810 Base ROM from HERE & unzip
Grab Flash Tools ver v5.1612 (if your not using that version) HERE - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24591000424940027
Then download TWRP_3.0.2.8.zip HERE & unzip
Copy the the "MT6755_Android_scatter" & "recovery.img" from TWRP_3.0.2.8 folder into the Elephone_P9000_2016810 Rom folder.
In Splash Tools, first flash the Elephone_P9000_2016810 Rom open "MT6755_Android_scatter" from _810 file & ensure the recovery section location points to "recovery.img" in the _810 folder also
Once your stock _810 ROM is flashed successfully, you then flash TWRP (with only recovery ticked) and ensure the recovery location points to "recovery_TWRP_3028_P9000" and your TWRP should flash fine. Make sure your using Flash Tools ver v5.1612, that worked fine for me.
There maybe an easier solution someone can point you too, but I know this worked for me no problems - you should now have TWRP recovery on stock _810 ready for you to flash your chosen ROM

I did all the steps you´ve told me and ended up with the exact same problem I´ve experienced before: USB Device not recognized and SP Flash Tool doesn´t do anything after pressing the download button.
I was going to reinstall the drivers like you told me form post #4 here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/how-to/how-to-guideline-install-mtk-drivers-t3344042
That didn´t do anything, I still have the same problem of my pc not recognizing my phone.
At least connecting my phone when it´s running works now.
you have to press and keep vol + when connecting the turned off phone to the computer after clicking download in FlashTools.

MMmmm .. have you tried a different USB port? maybe a different lead if you have one? (I have two leads and I know one doesnt work for me, dunno why)
Also, after pressing download in SplashTools.. count to say 7-10 secs and then press Vol UP and connect your phone.... (I know this sounds bit stupid, but it works for me, if I connect straioght away I get errors too ref driver )

No, that doesn´t help either.
I think it has to do something with installing the drivers cause after installing them, in Device Manager no new drivers are displayed except for two Mediatek Preloader USB VCOM Port (COM5) and (COM6).
But those only become visible when I check "show hidden devices".
The tutorial said that some more things should have been installed but I didn´t get any error messages so I don´t understand what shouldn´t have worked.
Sorry Im at a loss really, maybe follow this tutorial my brother followed to reinstall the MTK and try again with all the above steps, good luck

Make sure your PC is in driver signature disable mode when flashing etc btw

Good to hear you can atleast use your phone to transfer etc while on
Just curious (although Im sure you have followed the video / other tutorials to the letter) but
(1) did you ensure when following video tut that when uninstalling the legacy device you unticked the driver box to ensure the drivers were actually kept installed?
(2) Check Device Manager, under the Ports (COM & LPT) section and remember you shouldn't have anything referring to a MTK device in there - ie like MTK USB Port (Com 3) ? (If you have it needs uninstalling)
(3) Seems obvious I know but you are connecting your phone and using FlashTools when your Windows Driver Enforcement is disabled? ( Literally restarting with advanced options & choosng Disbale Driver Enforcement) Many users think once you have installed the driver you can use it with Windows Drivers enforcement enabled, but you have to be in disabled mode.
Finally if you doubled checked all of those, then maybe try a different version of FlashTools (worth a try) and also try running FlashTools as Administrator when you open it - good luck

Hi all
I have a problem with my hero not being recognized by my PC. This happened after a weekend trip and i charged the phone with iphone USB adapter as i lost my one and now after returning from my trip i connect my hero to my PC to be greeted with the "USB Device Not Recognized" message.
Also my Amon_Ra recovery i used has been wiped and i cant get into recovery or install any rom at all.
I am thinking this might be the same USB brick that affected some Desire owners but i am not sure.
So please if anyone can help me, please do.
Thanks in advance.

this happen to me. What i did was switch my phone off, plug in the usb and switched it back on. then wait for windows to say it not recognised. then go to to device and printers and uninstall the drivers for the phone. Disconnect and reconnect the usb back to the phone and it it will pick it up.
Can you try booting in fastboot and tell me if that is recognized?
it still doesnt recognize it in fastboot

Sounds like its just a driver issue. Have you tried plugging it in, when you get that message open DEVICE MANAGER,... Find the yellow "!", right click it, uninstall, unplug phone, reboot PC.
.... Then use BTDAG's [Guide] How to Setup Correct Hero Drivers (for x86 & x64 users)
I hav the same problem. In recover mode it works but then turn on the phone, there is no popup options as before. Tried around with drivers but didnt work either. But found a solution which is very convenient. I dont know if it works on other ROM versions but I'm on 2.1 (Villain10).
- Install extended control widget (dont remember where I got it but you can google, it seems I cannot find it on the market)
- Add this widget to the home screen: Menu/Add to Home/Widget/ Extended Control bar (you can choose the size from 1x1 to 1x4) then select "Mass storage" at the bottom, apply.
Now you have a widget to turn on/off USB storage. When you connect Hero to the PC, just click on this widget then the PC will connect to the SD card, and click one more to turn it off.
ok i will give that a try

Did you try that?..... You need to do the reboot PC/Laptop after uninstalling ALL HTC drivers! Then when you reboot PC, plug phone back in, should say "not recognised" again,... then follow BTDAG's guide. T'is definitely a driver issue!
tried flashing 3 roms, modaco, radug and now kimera... none working.
can connect in fastboot, it shows up in device manager as android 1.0
ive tried 3 different usb cables and 4 differet pcs, still there is no response on my phone !!!
using villian rom 10.0 rite now.
okay it boots up into fastboot and fastboot usb shows up on the screen in red,
BUT when i use the "adb devices" command in adb it doesnt show the device,
it is showing as android 1.0 in devices and printers (windows 7)
You need to use....
fastboot devices
....when your are in fastboot.
What happens when you go into your recovery, select "Toggle MS/USB" with USB connected to PC?
okay
fastboot devices command shows some serial number.
then i tried adb remount, it gave an error....
enabling usb-ms with cable attached gives no response
ok i think it might be USB driver like ddotpatel said but i am not sure.
i reinstalled my whole windows 7 to 32bit now instead of the 64bit version i was using before and today i just connected my hero to my PC and windows 7 did its thing and installed the drivers and finally my hero can mount the SD card in my PC again although i kept getting this can perform faster in USB 2.0 port or something like that i didn’t care as long as i can mount my SD card again.
now went into fastboot and used the fastboot device command and i could see my hero serial no. but when i try to flash the amonra recovery i got the permission error (i cant really remember). i tried flashing using the adb method but still no luck.
so i went to market and downloaded rom manager and used it to flash clockwork recovery and now i could boot to clockwork recovery.
from this recovery i can now flash any rom i want and although there are still a few more problems i am glad now that i can flash custom roms again.
the problem i can see so far but i can deal with is
1. i don’t think fastboot commands work even if the phone is detected.
2. SD card mounts at USB 1.1 speed. (i have tried different ports and cable but still the same thing and this is the ports i use for my N1, Desire and my other android phones with USB 2.0 speed)
PS: adb commands for pushing and removing apps is working.
Hope this can be helpful to those experiencing the same problem.
Instead of re-installing your entire OS just use usbdeview to remove the failing drivers.
Also remove any old HTC Sync installs and install the latest version.
Warm regards to the community here. I'm using Samsung & LG android devices past 2 years, with lots of custom roms and kernels; but have no experience dealing with Sony device. I am currently helping one of my friend to install Cyanogenmod on her Xperia mini pro sk17i, and help is required. I assure you, I won't have flooded the forum with a new thread if i'd found the answer. So hoping for a gentle guidance..
Here is what i did :
I followed the instructions given at Sony's website from step 1 to 12 : http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
- I checked that Bootloader unlock allowed is "Yes", and managed to get my unlock key from Sony.
- I downloaded and installed Android SDK manager, also downloaded Google USB driver package revision 4. Also, i managed to download the zip file from Sony and successfully copied & replaced the android_winusb.inf file in the instructed folder.
- Now, at the step 13 mentioned in the guideline, i'm really stuck. I turn of the phone, press & hold volume up while inserting the usb cable.... there appears small blue light at the top of the device. But, nothing else happens.
>> I mean, the instruction says that i should be asked to point the drivers by computers, but my computer asks for nothing. I'm running on windows7 x86, intel core i3.
Please guide me what is going wrong ?? .... however, i should mention that my computer does gives me a notification sound, kind of what usually happens when i attach anything in the usb port.... but, on the screen, it shows no any notification or no any pop up... just nothing at all. I tried the whole procedure on an another computer running windows7 x64, intel core i5, but still stuck at the same problem.
Your help will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Have you checked "unknown sources" and "usb debuging" on?You will found them both in settings>applications if i translate it right from my greek menu

Yes, of course both things are checked. To test the things, i also checked upon SEflashtools, and the device shows up there. However, if i command adb devices, it didn't show up on my second corei5 computer, but id did show up on my previous corei3 computer.
I tried out almost all i can do from my previous experiences of dealing with galaxy and optimus devices.. yet, this one is beating me.
Use drivers and tools from this guide and post the results (also mount sdcard to MSC mode)
If link doesn't work download latest flashtool.On installation folder there is a folder named "drivers".Run the file inside.
you have to manually install the driver of your android phone, go to the device manager on your computer, it should appear as S1 boot Fast boot in other devices, update the usb driver with the dowloaded diver android_win_usb.
your device shluld appear as android ADB Interface then you can proceed to step 14 which sadly where I got stuck too. I can't get a a response back from the said step. inform me if you have luck on the next steps...

Maybe this video can help you.
Thanks friends. Finally got it working ! .... it appears it was surely driver problem. Tried all the given driver links and installed them, and at least one of them must have solved my problem.
Unlocked the bootloader, and flashed nightly 20. Returned the phone back to her.
Thanks again !

What worked for me:
I removed these lines from the INF:
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_0DDE
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0FCE&PID_0DDE&MI_01
That worked.

Im trying to unlock Sony xperia sola rite now.... it wont stay on fastboot mode ( volume up + plug usb) when i press volume up, the light strip turns blue for a second or two, but then goes into charging while shutdown mode... I chek *#*#7378423#*#* -- Service info > Configuration > Rooting Status it says - YES// I try USB debugging ON and OFF... I try to stay on fastboot with my home pc windows 7 and my notebook windows vista..Battery 95-100% charged... What i do wrong?
Do you have installed drivers properly?
Try reinstall drivers and try different USB port.

how can i install drivers without connecting device?
I solved the problem)
1) Open device manager in windows
2) Connect usb cable to your phone pushing vol up button
3) Device manager will show you fastboot device for 2-3 sec (before the phone go to charge mode) Right click on fastboot device and install drivers from C:\Android\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver
4) Reconnect usb cable pushing volup button
I have the same problem but I dont know if cuz my PC is way too slow. I dont even have a chance for it to show up But I know it connected cuz of the alert sound.
---------- Post added at 08:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 AM ----------
Haha I solved my problem by installing the driver in safe mode. Things went much quicker here )
The solution that worked for me was:
Keep the Device Manager open
Connect the phone and quickly choose to change driver
Disconnect the phone again (because it goes into normal mode)
Choose to install a driver from the computer, choose "All devices" and "have disk".
Browse to the folder with the .inf
Now, before clicking Next, connect the phone again and quickly hit Next.
I think it took me two hours of googling and trial before I could finally get a custom ROM installed...

Do you know u are GENIUS !!!
i have been trying to get my phone in fast boot mode for the last 3 weeks then then i changed the "System Varibales" in my Windows & ( 64Bit) and then tried your above method AND ... volaaaa it works ... in a flash it works then the pone is in Fastboot mode .
( Device : Sony Xperia Sola 2012 without upgrade to .654)
Don't call me the genius, I found the solution using google

...which was enormously helpful. Thanks!! (Can't push the thanks button as I don't have enough posts yet.

Really helpful!
Hey
I can't even know where will the fastboot device appear to change driver. What can I do? My sola goes in charge mode very quickly I plugged my usb cable in almost 100 times and tried everything.
Okay, I'm totally lost. When I hold volume down button "s1boot download" appers in device manager, but it can't install a proper driver. I know I need s1boot fastboot and hold volume up button but it doesn't appears. Only the portable device with an H:/ partition
Make sure phone is OFF
While plugging in the USB cable, hold and keep holding the UP VOLUME key
You will hear a system sound played
Do all these while you have Device Manager on screen
Exclamation mark appears on the ADB driver icon
Chose the option to look for the driver in your hard disk - point to where the drivers are.
If using Win8 then you need to disable signing of drivers first (search on net how to)
So far you managed to do this or not?

Hey, nothing is working for me. I did the steps above, but with no chance to install any driver. At the driver manager, the s1boot fastboot-thing is showing up for some seconds and then disappear. i can't change the driver or install the new one.
Any suggestions? I want to change to cm9 so much, because the stock rom really sucks...it is slow and buggy
Edit: I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554632 and it works for me!!!
Edit 2: It seems, that you have to do this steps everytime you flash the boot.img to the phone.
I did everything. I installed the driver but when I hold volume up while plug in usb, the led does not turn to BLUE. It turns pink or purple, some kind of colour. What should I do guys? I've gone mad.
Thanks

Doesnt work for me either. I tried everything for hours, but i only see a purple LED for a few seconds and then the phone mode changes into charging.
All drivers are installed.
Flashtool doesnt recognize the Sola either.
Is there a way to flash a recovery without having the Sola bootloader unlocked?
Greetings
still no fastboot
device manager opened
phone off, holding vol. up plugging in usb
NOTHING happens on computer no sound, device manager doesn't refreshes, no purple led on the phone, just enters charging quickly
tried another usb port
tried to enter fastboot from flashtool,
tried to enter with command adb reboot bootloader / adb reboot fastboot
NOTHING happens just reboots normally
So I don't have a clue what's going on there, may the fastboot disappeard or broken?
BUT I used the fastboot for a couple weeks ago in this computer in this usb port, since that I tried some rom does it matter?

Solution
For those who still dont get it to work by "Nerre's" method.
The procedure will be same. You have to download latest android_winusb.inf file. I couldnt get it to work bcz of this. I was using the file from sony site. It was giving me some certificate error. Then I used the lates file downloaded from sdk kit. Then this procedure worked.
Make sure to choose "Android Boot loader Interface" after you select ...winusb.inf file. Then before clicking next, reconnect your device in fastboot mode.
Hope this helps someone.
PLEASE! I need to load a new ROM into my MT6575 phone using Smart Phone Flash tool.
I've installed the Mediatek drivers on 4 different computers in my house (Vista, Window 7, Windows 7 64bit, Windows 8) and I cant get ANY of them to work!!
When I look under Ports (COM and LPT) in Device Manager, I ALWAYS get: This device cannot start. (Code 10)

Need to uninstall device and reinstall drivers
If you google, "Code 10", you will find that on a Windows system it is an error code generated by the Device Manager "because it can not start a device". In a nut shell, the most likely cause for this is because the device was not properly installed with the right drivers.
If you are running Windows, you can try to use the attached file called USBReview to see what device that is as you know it is your phone. Basically, with this program you can remove all the old drivers and start all the driver installation again.
Try to find your phone either here on xda, on the web or contact your phone's manufacturer - you need drivers!!!
Good luck, Mr. Phelps.

Your USB program does give a lot of information I have never seen before, but I still haven't been able to figure out how to get the driver to load.

This is what worked for me after lot of experimenting and searching:
- get MTK6575 drivers (for instance from Bruno Martins where he writes about flashing mtk6575 - google: MT6575 flashing tutorial bruno
- Start c/windows/system32/hdwwiz.exe (as admin)
- Click next
- Manually select hardware
- List all devices
- Select the driver (for example usb2ser_Win764.inf)
- from the List select "MediaTek Preloader USB VCOM Port"
(or you can install other drivers from the list if Preloader is not enough..)
On another computer I solved it by installing whole Android SDK, checked my android system and installed updated for SDK (approx. 2 GB) and it installed correct drivers automatically.
Also you can experiment with using another usb port..
Please write here if it helped.

Did you ever get this problem solved as I have the same issue with an MTK 6592 chip based phone?
I have the same problem too.
Installation of Media Tek preloaded drivers gives me Code 10 error.
Has anyone found the solution?
my phone is totally dead without power now after I tried to flash with SP Flash tool using correct ROM. I noticed in device manager that there is a CODE 10 error in mediatek preloader usb driver.. is this the culprit? my phone can no longer be detected now in SPFlash or MTK Droid tools... so hopeless... this is a brandnew phone I bought to be given as gift to my cousin...
I did it! I did it! I did it!
The solution is... we need not MediaTek USB VCOM (Android) (USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0005&MI_02), but PreLoader USB VCOM Port (USB\Vid_0e8d&Pid_2000) !
I have MTK6582 (KingSing S2), the host - WinXPx64.
It looks like my phone (and, maybe, other MTK devices too) have several engineering modes.
I have spent several hours trying to get working VID_0BB4&PID_0005&MI_02, which is exposed, if device is turned on while holding VOL- pressed. In this mode some strange factory mode with nonfunctional menu items is displayed on the screen. But to activate mode with Vid_0e8d&Pid_2000 some trickery is necessary.
Sometimes this USB interface starts repeatedly to appear and disappear every half-second in infinitive loop. I had such situation once, when connected turned off phone to USB cable with battery removed.
I just literally catched MT65xx Preloader by double clicking on it in windows device manager and pressing "install drivers" in it's properties. I have used Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00\SmartPhoneDriver\x64\Infs\usbvcom.inf from http://spflashtool.com/download/Driver_Auto_Installer_v1.1236.00.zip. DriverVer = 12/24/2011, 2.0000.0.0
After clicking "Read Back" in Flash Tool this insane loop stopped and program started to function as intended.
This interface could also appear once and for very short moment, if turned off phone (with battery inserted) is just connected to host. Also it could be seen again, if power button is pressed. If "Download" or "Read Back" is not pressed in advance in Flash Tool, than boot will continue after smaller than a second pause (if device is functional).
I don't know if running Install.bat (from archive I have given above) is necessary. It didn't installed driver when Vid_0e8d&Pid_2000 wasn't active, but, I guess, running it during short blinks would give the same effect.
Also, I don't know, if advice given in comment#6 in this thread four years ago would work. Maybe, the fault was in older version of driver (DriverVer=05/30/2011,1.1123.0).
Another reason could be that necessary USB interface disappears before windows manages to install driver for it for the first time. Possibly, only if "catched" in device manager, user could manually assign driver to it.
I've been struggling with my UMI Rome for days. It has/had the black screen problem, sometimes won't enter recovery mode, sometimes wouldn't allow charge, sometimes works just fine (yesterday). Last night i mistakenly cut off power during a battery recharge. -- today it has all the above problems (bricked) so I am trying doing a flashing again using the tutorials and tools on the Tehnotone.com site. Sintetix's reply above helps me at least have a better clue on what is going on. Wish me luck! BTW, I am using a Dell Windows 10 pc. (Results to be reported here.)

I tried what you said. It wouldn't install properly. It kept saying error (code 10) and showed in device management with a caution sign every time I installed the driver. I disabled the forced driver signature thingamabop but it still does it. I guess I'm screwed. Has anyone else fixed this?
okay so here is the situation i am currently in.
i have a lg optimus f3 so its called on the tmobile network (lg-p659) as far as i have read on this forum my phone is currently "bricked". Right now what i'm trying to achieve is to get my phone into download mode, but as of far i have tried all button combo's and all the little battery tricks. i can't get my phone to do a damn thing. it just stays on a black screen no led backlight nothing.
Although when i do hook up my phone without the battery i get a prompt to install a driver for a so called "QHSUSB_DLOAD" i can not find the driver for this so when i try to run the KDZ program it fails at the point of trying to connect to the phone.
Please help... Thanks in advanced
EDIT: i no longer require help with this phone, as far as i'm concerned this thread is now dead and im moving on to flashing via ADB

Although when i do hook up my phone without the battery i get a prompt to install a driver for a so called "QHSUSB_DLOAD" i can not find the driver for this so when i try to run the KDZ program it fails at the point of trying to connect to the phone.
Please help... Thanks in advanced

I appreciate the help and the good laugh i had at line 10 but i cannot get my phone into emergency mode. when i tried the button combo and connected the usb it just failed instantly to install and still was not detected on the KDZ program. the device that im getting when i hook up the usb is called "QHSUSB_DLOAD" and even with all the drivers i could ever find none of them would work for this and also not be detected in the program.
Perhaps i need to flash a new recovery img to the phone using abd? i dont know, i'm still learning about all this stuff and slowly getting one step further ahead of the crowd, so to speak.
Maybe JTAG would be your best bet.

i guess you have windows 8 or 8.1 installed..and you have to turn off the driver signing check first like this tutorial :disabling-signed-driver-enforcement-on-windows-8
and then install this driver :-
Qualcomm-Allx86-drp.exe
try this..n good luck :good:
and yes flashing via adb will be a whole lot better..just do it right...and this "QHSUSB_DLOAD" is usually due to a bad flash so fix it up by flashing properly.

yeah i was hoping it would not come down to that... If it is my only option i guess i will find someplace that can do it for me. cause i dont have the hardware to do such a thing none the less even figure out how to do it. other than that i think i might just retire this phone until something else comes up.
Thanks to all the peeps who replied giving info, much kudo's to you guys. :good:

hey..can you get into recovery or your phone is just dead?
well there are two modes for the device :-
1. power off the the phone and then press volume up and plug in the usb cable while doing that -download mode
2. power off the phone and then press power+ volume up button together and quickly plug in the usb the phone goes into emergency mode
try them both
also check in windows manager if any of the LG modems are active..if thats the case then disable them by right click option and then try KDZ updater and see if it works..if not repeat the points 1 and 2 and shake the life out of your device till it gives up and gets detected haha..also try taking battery off and then putting it back and plugging in usb then only.
and about adb i am not sure if it will work but you can always check if the device is being detected by adb using following command :-
adb devices
P.S. -
check in windows device manager the hardware vendor id of the device and then verify if you have it listed in C:\Users\(your username on pc)\.android\adb_usb.ini
if not then add the entry as
# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x1949
0x18D1
0x04E8
the vendor is the 4 digits after 0x like mine device id is 04E8..if yours is not listed then add yours in next line and save it and restart computer and plug in ur device again and check if its detected.
In case there is no .android folder or adb_usb.ini file then downloadattachment, unzip and place it on the right location and restart. check the pictures if you dont get what i am saying..just on case lol
