Lumia 920 completely dead - Nokia Lumia 920

So i got my friends old Lumia 920 with Windows 8/8.1 installed on it but obviously it's not really used anymore and a lot of apps are already unsupported now. So i thought i'd try and install Android over the Windows OS.
Using WPInternals i flashed the phone with a .ffu file (RM-820 - i think!) that was listed under my phones specifications, used the program to flash the phone but just before it completes i get an error message saying the boot-loader wasn't unlocked properly and now the phone won't switch on, hold a charge or do anything at all. I have tried all button combinations for a soft & hard reset but the phone doesn't respond at all. I managed to get the phone connected to my desktop temporarily in Mass-Storage mode, but then the connection disappears and i can't access it.
I've seen so many posts about this problem and being able to 'flash' it back to normal or repair the issue..
can anybody recommend or explain a technique that would work?
Many thanks!

Hi,
is there any sign of reaction in the device manager, e.g. a Qualcomm_USB device or a Qualcom_COMx port?

I broke my phone

Hello everyone,
I tried to update my o2 mini s G4 WM5 device to WM6 and everything went ok. At work i have installed some software and plocies on my devices, which i didn't wat to keep, so i tried to reflash the device, in the same way i flased it in the first place. The problem is that now it is stuck on the Bootloader screen . When i connect the cable i can see the USB text.
I have read a bit about it, and people are saying to use the original o2 rom, or the wizard love one. Can i use any? If so, where can i fond it as the only love one which i found is Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2.rar so i think it is a G3 rom isn't it?
Thank you,
Wooju
and one more thing, how do i flash the software into the phone if it is stuck on the bootloader screen? When i connect it to the pc, the active sync says it is not connected...
Thank you,
it will flash if you are in bootloader mode. flash to the rom that your device shipped with then start over.
Hello,
i tried to flash it again, firstly with RUU_Wizard_1050402_101_11210_O2_ENG.exe then with HTC_Wizard_Rom1.rar which i found in the internet. In both cases i got error 263 (that it can't connect to the device).
When i connect the phone to the pc i can see that it is detectet as ie the drivers instalation wizzard appears...
Any ideas? Is the phone broken completely?
Thanks

NSS can't find my Lumia 800

Hi guys!
Like my brother said: if they don't know it at XDA, there is simply not a solution yet. And having tried a lot of options myself, your expertise is wanted!
How it all began:
I wanted to update my Lumia, so used CAB sender. Fine so far, but there was a bug (no keyboard) so I wanted to repair with Zune. Didn't work, it said it was impossible to repair to the previous version (code 80180083). And since it didn't started up now anymore, it bricked.
Looking for a solution, my laptop OS (Windows Vista 32-bit) didn't recognized my phone anymore as Nokia Lumia 800, but simply as 800. And now, it only recognises my phone as Unkown Device (Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM). And Windows does not detects a proper driver for this thing. Tried Nokia USB Connectivity, WindowsUSB and the drivers belonging to Nokia Care Suite but nothing gets it done.

I thought I found the solution with NSS, but I dont get the option below which says Nokia Connection Cable, because yet again: no phone can be found!
View attachment 1231326
Or course I tried also with Nokia Care Suite, but yet again: the laptop can't recognise the brick! Although Windows does notices I put something in the USB port and it sees the Qualcomm device.
Hard reset
Not possible, since I will get a 3 second vibration followed by 3 seconds nothing and then half-a-second vibration.
Putting phone on
If I try, it will give the 3 second start-up vibration which connects to Windows Vista (using the typical sound) shortly followed by the half-a-second vibration (and a triple-short disconnect sound on Windows).
As you guys can understand, I am in quite a bad situation now. Since the phone is bought in my home country The Netherlands and I currently live in Melbourne Australia, I hope to prevent sending it back home at any costs.
So what do you think: is this one permanently bricked, or is it still possible with a specific driver to fix this? Seems to me it's purely a communication/connection problem between my laptop and my phone, but I run out of options to try..
You could try downloading Windows Phone Support Tool from Microsoft.
Turn on your phone by pressing on and the Camera button at the same time, it should then enter flash mode (release power on buzz but keep holding the camera button). When it's in flash mode you can try and get Windows Phone Support Tool to repair the phone for you.
Thank you for your reply!
I tried it before, and this is the message I got:
Communicating with device. Please wait for Recover button to be enabled.
Support Tool version 4.8.2345.0
The tool had difficulty communicating with your device. Please check your device connection and make sure you followed the instructions above. Try recovery again and if the problem persists please contact technical support.

The problem seems to be that there is absolutely nothing is installed on my phone. Therefore, the connection with my phone fails over-and-over. Doesn't matters which program I use. I am almost sure that there is a connection fail between the computer and my phone. I tried it at some other laptops but at every laptop it says 'Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MDM'. But not a single program (NSS/NCS/Phoenix/Windows Phone Support Tool) can make an actual connection with the phone, so it must be driver related.
When I try to turn it on, it starts up but then puts itself off, like if its out of energy. It doesn't charges though. What do you think: driver related or battery related?
------------------
Extra added info: when I try to flash Rainbow os-new with NSS, I get this message:
Checking file selection...Done.
Looking for NAND disk...Not found.
Are you sure you have development Qcom loader ?

What does that means?

Things to check:
1. Is the phone connected?(Plug to the USB)
2. Is it in the correct mode?(Try to switch to OSBL mode)
3. Have you installed the Qcom loader ?(Use the Install button)
Preparing update...Done.
------------------------------------------
(Command: Flashing > WP7 Tools > Install)
Init connection...Phone not found!
Does this shows a battery problem? I have had battery problems before with my phone, but I guess that when I try to flash (even with the extra add to NSS) it should ignore any battery level. Or should I screw it open, try it again and see if it will work then?
If it's finding it as an 800 that means it's finding it (it finds mine as an 800 when I've played with it too much).
When you enter flashing mode via camera button, do you not get the image of the phone connected to a PC on the phone?
I had that in the beginning, but those days are long gone.. I don't know how it happened that I don't get that back anymore. Perhaps because my phone doesn't boots itself completely, but falls out of its boot program. Nothing visible on screen

[Q] Many and strange problems. help pls.

I have several problems with my Razr MAXX which I'm sure are related.
First one day I erased the CID of the phone without having made a previous backup, therefore I lost him irremediably. This by itself is not supposed biggest problem that I must to boot the phone in BPHW Diag & Boot AP mode.
To correct this I install Safestrap and then I install CM11 in another partition. In this way the phone worked perfectly.
First one day I erase the CID of the phone without having made a previous backup , therefore I lost him irretrievably . This in itself is not supposed biggest problem that I must to boot the phone in BPHW Diag & Boot AP mode.
To correct this I have installed Safestrap and then I Install CM11 in another partition . In this way the phone worked perfectly .
Suddenly one day phone was turned off and not turned on again , then I had to re- flash a stock ROM and then rooted it again to install Safestrap.
Here is when my problems really start.
I boot the phone in FlashBoot mode and install the stock ROM without problem.
Then I boot the ROM (in BPHW Diag & Boot AP mode) and when I am gping to connect the phone to PC by USB to root , but the PC does not detect that the phone is connected .
Another symptom I see is that the phone is not charging the battery despite being connected to the PC. Then I connect the phone to the wall charger and I notice phone don´t charge neither.
Because this, I´m not able to root the phone. The all rooting methods I know implies USB conection with PC.
Before continuing I want to clarify that I have already made all the more obvious tries:
I tried on 3 different pc. In which I did not have any problems before.
I tried with 3 different USB cables, which I used before with no problem.
I've tried different chargers.
I tried 5 different stock rom I had previously always worked well, among them that of Rogers.
And of course I always did the relevant wipes.
Retaking the thread, I have to say that Another issue that I have with the phone is that it does not work the 3g data line. This only occurs whit the stock ROM, because when I use CM11 rom then 3g is working. And this closes the circle of problems that I have:
Resuming, I can´t use 3g because I can´t install CM11, and I can´t install CM11 because I can´t install Safestrap because I can´t root the phone because Pc don´t detect it when I connect the phone with USB...
The only way I have to charge the phone is booting in normal mode.
Remeber that if I don´t boot phone in BPHW Diag & Boot AP mode then it don´t works.
When I boot in normal mode first Motorola logo appears and then the screen goes completely black, but if I look closely I notice that if the phone is on.
When the phone is in this state I can connect it to the mains and then the battery is charging. I know this because if I leave it for several hours and when I turn the phone battery is at 100% capacity.
Another interesting thing is that when the phone is in this state, I connect it to PC and then it is recognized, but this does not allow me rooting the phone because Android not is on.
This invite me to thing that it isn´t a hardware mistake.
If I do the necesary actions to boot Android, then Pc don´t detect again.
It should be mentioned that when I connect the phone via USB, the PC actually detects something, but then it tries to install some drivers that I don´t not know, but finally fails.
The mentioned drivers are this:
DIAG INTERFACE
MODEM INTERFACE
MUX INTERFACE
NMEA INTERFACE
TCMD INTERFACE
I hope someone can help me understand what happens.
I've already tried everything, and I have asked many people, but so far no one has been able to help me.
I think I have not forgotten to mention anything.
Please excuse my bad English.
I hope I have explained in an understandable way, but it's hard to explain it in my native language. Explain this in English is a challenge for me.
Best regards.

LG Optimus L9 stuck at factory reset

Hi all
Recently, my optimus L9 (the P760), has started to get popups saying ''the process com.android.phone has stopped."
This started when I turned on my phone and suddenly I got pop-ups of multiple apps and processes being stopped.
Then the phone was suddenly off, without having given any kind of warning that it was going to turn off..
Then I restarted it, it got stuck on the LG logo for a while (didn't count, was about 1-5 mins) and then it said 'Encrypting' (under which I can see something I presume is a loading bar, but it's not loading) And under Encrypting, it has a button which says 'Reset phone', which won't work. I've tried it several times, restarted the phone (which also took 1-5 mins) several times, and have looked for solved threads about this on xda, as well as other forums..
There have been several threads like this, but none seems to be solved. That is the reason why I open this new thread.
My pc won't recognize the lg when I try connecting it either.. Nothing seems to be able to fix this, but my warranty has passed due to it being older than 2 years..
I really hope you guys can help me, thanks a lot!
Patrick
The final production run of L9s featured an encrypted bootloader, phones manufactured in 2013, if bought until early '13 this cannot be the case.
Anyway this means the phone is bricked, if you did not activate Android' s encryption feature.
The LG recovery tool should ve able to fix it in download mode. There are driver problems under Windows 8&10, but download mode should work and is also the final option before sending it in or dumping it.
For download mode switch phone off, then press Vol- while plugging the phone in and wait until it switches on by itself. Activating download mode after an off-on-off sequence seems to help when even download mode doesn't work as supposed. Seems to do the same as taking out the battery in between tries.
This was the last issue I had before my p760 got trashed by this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2748384 I wish you luck though.
There's various driver issues in the various connection modes the phone can assume.
First there's more trouble with Windows newer than Seven. This affects Fastboot and generally the recognition under Windows. And with a custom rom the LG drivers may not recognize the phone, thus all LG tools will fail too.
Best support is gained with two sets of drivers installed: LG usb drivers and Google SDK usb drivers.
With Artas' CM11, the Google drivers provided support for non-LG tools and ADB commands. The LG drivers only recognized the phone in Download mode and were necessary for unbricking it, as all tools for flashing KDZ files are based on LG's own tool, which needs the LG drivers.
The driver installation is less difficult on Win10 compared to 8.1, run the setup to install both ones.
On Win8.1 you may have to manually assign the Google drivers after their installation in device manager, they' re either found in the Android Phone category or the ADB interfaces one, while the LG ones sit invisible(!) in the other category(phone not recognized, remember?), but the phone recognition will be triggered by attaching it in download mode, and a virtual COM port will be installed.
Hopefully this was confusing, weird and silly enough, but if you manage to get it right, unbricking the phone is still quite possible.

Hard Reset won't work on LG P769BK

My LG L9 Optimus P769BK (T-Mobile) is stuck on Boot Logo. Hard reset or any other reset procedure in this world does not recover the phone to a normal state.
History:
-I rooted the phone a few months ago in order to get rid of some of the bloatware
-Ever since adware/malware keeps coming which made my wife's life miserable
- I unrooted it but that didn't change anything, the malware now resides within system apps so the misery continues
-The USB drivers are installed and the connection shows three entries in Device Manager
-LGE Mobile USB Modem
-LGE Mobile USB Serial Port
-LGE Mobile Composite USB Device
These are shown only when the phone is in download mode (VolUp + USB Cable In)
The only software that communicates with the phone and recognizes the USB port connected (Com41) is the LG Flash Tool V1.8.1.
Unfortunately this software processes the first 80% successfully until the reset stage after which the phone get stuck at the bootup logo (non-responsive) and never finishes the started flashing process.
I just want to re-flash it with stock ROM for which I downloaded v20h_00.kdz and converted the other required DLL, FLS and BIN files.
I know this is an older model but it was seldom used and I don't want to trash it. Thanks for any response in advance.
PC Desktop: Windows 7, x32, Clean Installation just for this purpose
Update: OMAP driver added
I noticed that I was missing OMAP drivers that are specific for the TI chip this model uses and I did install them. Now the phone has a new entry in Device Manager as Portable Devices where two drives/partitions are listed (F:\ and G:\) These are visible while the phone is stuck on the boot LG logo. The LG Flashing tool still can't continue after the reset at 80% so there is no really any progress yet. Any clue anyone?
Problem solved
I finally solved my problem with LG-P769
I don't know why I couldn't succeed earlier but it turned out using a laptop is a bad idea. I tried Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10. The final solution worked on my desktop with clean Windows 7. The solution was using the trick with Small HTTP server. I don't know why it didn't work earlier but it seems another thread gave me a little bit more details that I missed at the beginning (maybe the server settings)
Anyway, it seems that this phone model was long time forgotten since there was not a single reply to my original post except my two updates so it turned out I was just talking to my self loud, LOL.
Anyway, I would like to thank this forum for most advanced postings regarding the Android branch of cell phones. Regards to whoever found this interesting enough to read.
