[SOLVED] I'm possibly bricked. - LG Optimus L90

Okay, so, I know it's possible to fix this, it has to be. And let me explain why I can conclude this.
1.) I can access Philz recovery but ONLY when forcing the phone to hard reset via buttons.
2.) The touchscreen works in the recovery when resetting but doesn't go to the main menu or anything to restore a backup.
3.) The phone will recognize adb commands from the computer, but since the touches don't work when booted I cannot select the "allow this computer" prompt.
4.) The phone boots into the CM11 ROM and the buttons work (I can change volume, take screenshots, and access power menu.)
So, I'll explain what happened. I tested a boot.img for Quarx and flashed it. I didn't reboot my phone, just let it stay on. It worked and everything, but a little bit after church it rebooted on me and showed the CM setup menu. I was like, "What? Okay..." So I was going trying to make it work, but I realized the touchscreen wouldn't respond to my touches. I locked/unlocked the screen, rebooted, all that good stuff, and none of it worked. So, here's the damage done.
1.) I can't touch anything on the screen. It won't respond to touches.
2.) I cannot access recovery, only hard reset.
3.) I cannot approve adb commands because I need to hit "allow" on the screen. (The prompt does come up though)
So, I have a phone that boots, responds to hardware actions, and can recognize adb commands, but won't accept them unless I say "allow." I can access recovery but only when factory resetting through holding Power + VOL DOWN when booting. The touchscreen works in recovery, but it won't do any actions (back, home, etc.) because it's resetting. After resetting it boots instantly, and voila, my problem remains.
So in short, I need a way to bypass that "authentication" for adb, because in order for fastboot to recognize my device I need to run adb commands to set it up (since that's gone too now). That, or, I need to find a way to access Philz recovery without having to use the touchscreen. It's so frustrating because the one button I need to press is literally right in front of my face, on my screen, but it won't respond to my input.
Does anybody here have any suggestions? I haven't been able to flash a KDZ successfully, I don't know why. It never works for me on this phone. I was a pro at it on the L9. School begins in a week and I need to have a phone that works, for transportation and such. I'm not really at a point to buy a phone right now either since I'm focusing on buying my first car (yay I guess).
If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it. In fact, I'm even willing to donate money to whomever can point me in the right direction.

I hate to say it but Factory Reset appears to be your only option for a fix.

Maybe this is a long shot but check out this thread

@Ilxaot
are able to use philz??? fully...means is touch working on philz???
if yes then
you can put aroma file manager there...and in root of it in default.prop
change the lines
ro.adb.secure=1
ro.secure=1
to
ro.adb.secure=0
ro.secure=0
and reboot
now you have adb access without any confirmation required....
this is possible only if philz is working...
best luck...
and remove every possible LG driver from your pc
then reboot
connect to the internet
dont install drivers manually
let windows find the drivers if it doesnt find one.
then just reboot
after rebooting install drivers manually.
this works form me everytime.

The only way I can boot into Philz is when it's factory resetting. When it's resetting, it shows the recovery and everything, but it's just resetting. There are no options to flash anything and such. It just resets and reboots.
EDIT - If I could get a KDZ to flash, I'd be set. When I connect my phone in laf mode (s/w mode) my computer doesn't recognize it. It says it's an unknown USB device, and shows a warning symbol next to it in the device manager. If I could get that fixed, I might be able to flash!

The recovery you use was not ok
Its gave me same problem when i try it,thank God i can enter download mode to flash KDZ and back to TWRP.
But what that is amazing me about your is that its cant do what other D415 does why? did your own D415 is special.
Also another thing is USB debugging,If you using CM11 by Quartz it was enable by default in that rom

Yes but I still need to accept the prompt asking if I want to allow the computer to access the phone, which I cannot do because the screen does not respond.
How did you manage to flash the KDZ? I know it will be fixed if I can flash it, but I'm not having any luck flashing it! It keeps saying that the device is unknown, even though I've installed and uninstalled the drivers countless times.

Can you give me the link to the kdz you used? I feel that's the problem. It gets stuck at 2%, and another user said he changed KDZs and it worked fine. I got my computer to recognize it, now I just need it to flash it lol.. It's really depressing how something as incredibly stupid as a KDZ flash is holding me back, and nobody's suggestions seem to be working. About to just give up and not even care about mobiles anymore >.<

[FIX] Enable download mode by force adb push update.zip without permission

MY Phone Condition:
My phone was previously install with voodoo rom and use clockwork recovery to restore to my stock rom that i backup and it crash half way.
My phone was hardware lock this mean no matter how i press the volume and power button , i will never get into download mode. non of the method posted work !
My phone cannot use "adb reboot download" because there is no OS and it was stuck in the recovery loop.
It does not have clockwork recovery because i formatted my internal sdcard
If i do have clockwork recovery and i use restore image or install new from zip , i still stuck in the recovery mode after reboot several times.
My phone does not mount to internal sdcard because i don't even know what i did on this part.
I believe i screw up my partition of the phone.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
You need the Samsung USB driver and you can get it from Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
First Part
1. Download update.zip from the link below. This was post by another member.
The post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804305
2. Place the update.zip in tools folder so you can push it into your phone by using adb command
3. Plug usb into the phone and your phone should be on the Android system recovery <2e>
4. Use your volume button to select reinstall package, don't press power button yet.
5. constant "adb push update.zip /sdcard" from computer , you will get permission denied.
6. While you are constantly pushing the adb command from computer. press the power button on the phone so it install update.zip from sdcard.
7. This is the part where it force adb push into sdcard without permission
8. once the update.zip install completed. unplug the usb cable from the phone and take the battery out.
9. put the battery back to the phone then press on both volume button.
10. While holding both volume button , plug in your usb cable and it will boot to download screen.
If you need use Odin to flash your phone to original stock rom. Go to the Second Part
Second Part:
If you get black screen with only 4 light on the bottom after flashing from Odin.
Follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728698
There should be T959-PDA.tar,T959-CSC.tar and T959-Phone.tar within the package.
Check "Re-Partition" , "Auto Reboot" and "F.Reset Time" check box. Use the PIT 0512 version. Use "PDA", "PHONE" and "CSC" from the link above.
After flashing with Odin, you will loose the download mode. repeat the first part and you are good to go.

You figure it out after all. I already stated the condition of my phone ! My phone was pretty bricked at that point. There is way for me to push any files into the phone because i don't have permission and my phone will not go to download mode by using the volume button. It just stuck at recovery mode.
There are guide out there teach you to use "adb push download". This method only work if you are in your phone and you turn on debug mode. My phone crash at the clockwork recovery bootloader. Then i formated my internal sdcard that hold the clockwork. next i push a stock update.zip that does not have su and busybox so i lost the capability to push anything into the phone.
no download mode , no permission, no sdcard --> You tell me how can i use the method that post few week ago ?

unfortunately, i was one of those careless people to brick my phone via Voodoo.
Firstly, i tried to "FLASH" the disable_voodoo zip file via Clockwork, i put it in root, and never created any folders. i knew i had to disable voodoo before flashing but my steps were wrong.
sadly enough, my phone was also HW locked, so i got it exchanged. now im not using voodoo YET and i my new vibrant can handle OC and has the recovery/download mode via buttons.

i use shell to create the file that disable voodoo. after disable voodoo , i was able to do restore and install new rom unfortunately after restore or install new rom , it still reboot into recovery.
I also forgot to disable voodoo, and this was before there were fix instructions posted. So i basically effed up my phone to the point of being stuck in the samsung recovery loop, no hardware download mode, no clockwork recovery, no update.zp, no adb download.
I really thought I had completely bricked my phone, I tried this just out of desperation and what do you know, push update.zip over and over and click and it goes through, which allowed me to get into download mode.

nice , you just have to re-root and install the new rom again , if it brick again , just use this method and you are good again.many of us forgot to disable the voodoo before we restore or install new rom and this crashes the phone.
Need some help really bad
Ok so I have a similar situation as you did (OP), only mine is a bit worse... In my irrational "in the moment" fear of the situation, I used adb reboot recovery to get into recovery mode (HW locked phone) and I did the option that deletes all the **** on the phone and restores the phone to its original format (I think it reinstalled the OS or something, because it looks brand new). So now, whenever I boot up, it does the annoying black screen with the 4 glowing buttons thing for a while, and then eventually the OS actually shows up on the screen. Then it does "scanning media" thing over and over again, but thats not the main problem. I figured, hey this isnt so bad atleast I found your thread and would be able to use your method to help restore my phone... the problem is that somehow my "settings" button is totally gone from the app menu, and I cant get it into debug mode, so I cant use either adb or your method or ANYTHING!! My phone is practically bricked as I cant do anything because its constantly laggy and turns back to the black screen thing, and then when it is showing the homescreen I cant do **** because even swiping to another screen takes like 5 minutes to do cause its so laggy. So basically I ****ed up, and I really need some help.. Im kinda a noob at this whole thing and im really outa options as far as I can tell.. does anyone know what I can do to repair my phone? Thanks!

[Q] wtf. I just CAN NOT get my phone into recovery mode

I was on Continuum and decided to flash back to stock. Of course Odin would freeze, forcing me to break out my jig.
I finally got it into download mode and flashed back to stock
I used SuperOneClick (like I have so many times before) to root and enable non-market installations
Well, it rooted just fine, but I couldn't enable the non-market stuff, it says "reloc_library[1251]: 2738 cannot locate '_ZNK7android6Parcel15setDataPositionEj'... CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
I cant get my captivate into recovery through 3-button boot, and ROM manager is completely unresponsive. When I click "reboot into recovery" it just does nothing. Same with installing a rom, or restoring a back-up. Any ideas?
Hmmm... It sounds like you might need to reflash the phone...
Can you try this alternate method to put your phone into Download Mode?
1. Turn off your phone, pull out the battery.
2. Hold both volume UP and DOWN buttoms (and keep holding them until the end).
3. Put in your battery.
4. Plug in the USB. (You won't need to ever press the power button using this method).
If that doesn't work, you might need to get a USB Jig somewhere (either buying one or making one yourself).

well if you're on stock you can't enable non market app it's not included in the package plain and simple. but if you can push update zip into your internal sd and flash cwm recovery you maybe able to flash an app apk's there. the problem is you have unresponsive button combos. solve the button combos first. you will likely need a jig or if you can get into download mode try installing the leaked froyo maybe it will solve your unresponsive buttons.

How do I root manually?

Hello everyone!
I'm a new member from today but I have read (and read and read...) the threads here and on every forum I could find, in desperate search for an answer to my questions, but so far I have found none.
Don't shop my head of now but could someone please be so kind and help me root my LG Optimus 2x by giving me a step-by-step info AND include the correct files AND then tell me what to do to have them installed?
There seem to be all too many different alternatives and I am really confused!
Here's what I've done so far -
I had Gingerbread installed and got the phone rooted with SuperOnecClick.
Upgraded then the phone to Ice Cream Sandwish 4.0.4 with LG Support Tool and lost root.
Tried to root with SuperOneClick again but constantly got stuck at # 5 or # 7 (waiting for device).​
So, how do I root and where do I find the correct firmware for this?
Android
4.0.4
Bandwithversion
1035.21_20121130
Kernel-version
2.6.39.4
Version
IMM76L.LG-P990-P99030a.1211302332
Software
P99030a
Android SDK
Superuser (not rooted)
SuperOneClick
Hi there,
Since you upgraded to official ICS, you can't use SuperOneClick to get root access again, but fear not as there are alternatives. Here you will find three different methods to root your device. In your case, I believe you need to use either the second or third option listed there.
Be aware that the third option will wipe your device, including your internal SD card, so it'd be a good idea to backup first, just in case. All three methods are harmless, but you never know.
Thank you for your reply! Now I'm on and a step closer in fixing this.
So, my phone cannot be rooted because of Official ICS?! Oh!
- that was new news to me and it could have saved me countless of hours if I had found that information out sooner. A pity I did not write here weeks ago!
I have some more questions though and I think I'm going for the 2nd option in the link you gave me.
"Put your phone into nvflash mode". Do I need a tool for that? (Here I was linking to a nvflash-setup, but as I am a new memeber I am not allowed to post outside links yet). Or do I just hold down volyme + power in order to get into that nvflash mode?
By "unzipping attached archive" I assume it means zipping it on the PC and not on the SD card?
When doing this procedure, do I have the phone in Charging or Mass storage mode?
Just a few questions I hope you (someone) have to time to give me an answer to - Thank you!

So, my phone cannot be rooted because of Official ICS?! Oh!
- that was new news to me and it could have saved me countless of hours if I had found that information out sooner. A pity I did not write here weeks ago!

You can get it rooted, only not with SuperOneClick ^^

"Put your phone into nvflash mode". Do I need a tool for that? (Here I was linking to a nvflash-setup, but as I am a new memeber I am not allowed to post outside links yet). Or do I just hold down volyme + power in order to get into that nvflash mode?

To enter nvflash mode turn off your device, remove the battery, then press and hold Vol- and Power at the same time and plug your phone to your PC via USB. Then follow the rest of the instructions.

By "unzipping attached archive" I assume it means zipping it on the PC and not on the SD card?

Yep ^^ you need to extract the files from the zip to your PC.
Ok, next question :
"boot into cwm and flash SuperSU Root.zip"
How am I suppose to flash anything when the telephone is black and I'm not into it and only work from the computer?
How do I do that?
I'm stuck with a black screen only on the phone.
I heared nothing or saw nothing that sais (sound) that the phone is connected through the USB, but I have followed each step and are now stuck at above question.
Greatful for more help!

Hm. I have now read more closely on the linked site. Why am I to download ICS again, I already have the same ROM?
Or do you mean I have to change the official ROM to this one in order to root properly?
Click to expand...

No, there's no need to reflash ICS. The second method listed there just flashes the unlocked bootloader + root + custom CWM, and it won't touch your data & settings.

I tried Volume down + Power without battery. Nothing happened, the phone was stonedead even when plugged in with USB.

That's OK. When in nvflash mode, you won't see anything on screen. All you'll get is the sound it makes when connected to USB.
Don't worry, you're nearly there! Keep going!
Edit: just realized I made one small mistake. To enter nvflash mode, you need to press and hold both Vol+ & Vol- at the same time (this also requires removing the battery first). Sorry about that!

Oh! That explains why. My next question was published above your question and still remains.
How do I "boot into cwm and flash SuperSU Root.zip"?
Edit : This procedure does somehow not work on XP so I changed to Windows7 and have now come a bit further. The only thing remaining now is that the computer sais that it cannot find the USB device.
I have downloaded the LG modem and USB firmware but maybe I need something else? Does the firmware in a folder on C: just as NvFlash and SU-folder.
Got OK with USB firmware and all set to go now.
But, in NVFlash Recovery it sais :
Please pick bootloader, or exit (1,X)? (I pressed 1)
Attempting to flash bootloader...
Nvflash started
USB device not found
Program will now exit​
So, I'm stuck.
The phone can be found both in Mass Storage mode and I got a OK that the drivers are installed.

Alright, it sounds like you still need the APX drivers. I believe you can find it somewhere on the Development forum (find tonyp's threads, I'm sure he has posted it there). If you already did this, then remember to hold and press both Vol buttons when selecting option 1 so Nvflash can connect to your device and do all the magic.
Don't give up yet, you're a few seconds away from rooting your device (and learning stuff at the same time ^^).
Tried exactly as you said but still no luck. But I'm not giving up!
I found a APX driver. Installed and unziped in the same file as NvFlash. Rebooted PC and tried again.
Still no luck - "USB device not found".
What am I doing wrong?
BEFORE removing the battery from mobile, shall I have Mass Storage or Charging marked?
Do I need to have USB Debugging marked or not?
Latest Update :
I managed to install Nvidia usb boot recovery in the device manager and it's OK.
The device is now found and I got the phone into S/W Upgrade please wait while upgrading-mode.
And there I am - stuck. Nothing more happens. It has freeze.
What do I do next?
A question : How do I "boot into cwm and flash SuperSU Root.zip" - how do I do that?
Nice! Has nvflash finished flashing? If so, it should be safe to unplug the device now.
Put the battery back on, press and hold both Power and Vol- at the same time until the second LG logo appears to enter CWM. From there, select "Install zip from SD card" (or something similar) and select the SU zip file you previously stored onto your sdcard. CWM will then flash the necessary files to root your device! Once done, reboot and enjoy!
Hi again! It's not going as well unfortunately. Very mysterious. *laugh*
"until the second LG logo appears to enter CWM. From there, select "Install zip from SD card"
When pressing Volyme - + Volyme up + Power I get a black screen. Nothing more happens.
And after flashing the flash-boot in NvFlash the phone goes into s/w upgrade please wait while upgrading-mode.
And there it is. Stuck. Nothing more happens. I repeted the procedure for 5 times. I only get to the s/w-mode.
After 3 hours I unplugged it and will restart my search today for what's blocking it to continue.
Hm? Hmmmm....? Any suggestions in what might be wrong?
You have to push and hold only Vol- and Power this time ^^ That will get you into CWM if the flash-boot.bat went right.
Great, I'm in!
But I managed to place the SU zip on wrong device (internal, not external).
How do I get out from cwm-mode, there's no "exit" options?
There should be a Reboot option, use it and your phone will boot as usual. When you're done moving the SU zip file to the external SD card, power off your 2X and do as instructed above to enter CWM again ^^
Thank you for replying so quickly!!!!!
There is a reboot option BUT I unfortunately pressed adb sideload (hoping to install the SU.zip that way, but the device is not to be found on the PC at all in that mode so I can't reach it through cmd either!).
So, I'm completely STUCK at adb sideolad-mode.... (sorry). I'm starting to get grey hair.
Hahahah XD don't worry, just remove the battery and put it back again ^^
*BIG SMILE* Guess what? I have root access! *jumping up and down of joy*
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU so very much for your guidance!
I believe in passing knowledge forward and I will do my best to help others noobs with what you just learned me!​
For a stubborn noob like me I was not reflecting over some obvious things though. As that the SU.zip had to be placed on SD-card (and not being unzipped in C: )
And that I had to get the Nvidia APX in order to make NvFlash to work properly (and search through Google to find it and how to make it work).
And that when I'm stuck in CWM I can always remove the battery.
Once again. I'm very glad and THANK you and all credit to You!
You know, I decided to help you because of your will to learn and do stuff by yourself. Many come here and ask for help without trying anything by themselves first, so I actually enjoyed watching you learn ^^
See? It wasn't that hard. All it takes is a lot of reading and patience.
Good job, and welcome to XDA!

[Q] Rooted my LG p880, and now it won't start

Hi!
I just rooted my brand new LG optimus 4x HD, and when I was going to install cyanogenmod on it, the phone stopped working. I pressed to restart in recovery and installing the rom, but when it was about to restart, it only says something like: unrecoverable boot loader, and something with kernel. I don't know what this means, but I hope there is a way to fix this, because the phone is brand new, and now I can't even start it.
Some suggestions?

Just flash original stock KDZ file with kdz flasher.
If you want to install CM, you do not need a rooted phone, but an unlocked bootloader.
Check the respective threads for details on how to unlock the phone and then flash CM.

ok, i'll try that in a couple of hours when I get home, Thanks everyone! I'll be back if there is another problem
in the lg pc suite that comes with the phone there is an option in "Device" for "emergency firmware recovery" this should be a relatively easy way to restore your phone if it allows you to do it without booting up otherwise use the method posted earlier. to get into the correct mode on the phone turn phone off, then whilst holding vol- plug in the usb (don't press power button) this should enter software upgrade mode.
after this you will lose root and if you unlocked your bootloader will relock it.
i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256392 all in one tool to root and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40918727&postcount=108 to unlock bootloader, you can use the all in one tool (from rooting) to install cwm after you have unlocked bootloader.

I tried to root via the all-in-one toolbox, but I don't get how I am supposed to do... And after trying to do some things and factory resets, I'm unable to start my phone again. This time i'm stuck on bootscreen. And I can't seem to get to the S/W Upgrade screen again, i don't know why...
Is there something i can do with ADB sideload?

to get into S/W upgrade mode, remove battery, insert battery, hold the vol-, and plug in a usb attached to a computer (keep holding vol-).
hope this helps. also try a different pc usb port or a different cable (just to eliminate any variables)

Hi astr_x,
Do you have any example links for the respective threads you mention? I have tried adb and fastboot. I hold Volume down + plug into my computer and I get the Unrecoverable bootloader error that was mentioned above. In fact, I get this error even when I plug my phone to a normal plug (and not PC). Anyway, I connect my phone to my laptop (I always get the error mentioned) and when I type the relative adb+fastboot command in cmd (after installing all the relative drivers), I get "Error: Unknown device".
Any thoughts?

Really (I mean *really*!) bricked my phone. Nothing works.

Hi p970ies,
EDIT: NEW problems, see last pages.
here is my story:
I was on IZS v1.1, when I decided to go into recovery and make a full-wipe for having a "fresh install" again. You know, the phone was laggy, I had to many apps etc. I pressed the on/off-button for 1-2 secs to reboot into recovery, then my phone turned off and restarted but just with a "bright" black screen, the display was on. I thought "something went wrong", pulled the battery out and put it back in again, started, but then same screen again.
A few months ago an easy "unbricking" method (I know, not really unbricking) was to flash Redy2006's touch-recovery and boot into it with his scripts. So I flashed it (I know it's dumb, because of the u-boot and v30 thing, Idk), same result.
After that, I grabbed smartflash and two .bin/.fls packs of 2 roms, went into that special mode (phone off, press vol+, plug in) but there was no "sign" (screen that shows that you are in that mode) like the other day, the screen kept being black, but on.
Nonetheless the flashing worked and the software said everything alright. I started the phone but same result, in addition that there was now this effect: When the battery is put in and/or the phone is charging, the screen changes from being on and off. I can't do anything, no restarting with buttons, no LG screen, nothing but on and off, on and off. Every few seconds.
Thank you, I hope you experts can help me. (Even when I have the phone 2 years now and I was a ROM-junkie since the first day )
Edit: Tried smartflash with another patched v20 ROM. Tried KDZ Updater, just errors. But now the phone seems to boot, but there's nothing on the display, just the 4 softkeys are fading in and out.

Oh man, its sad to hear that.
I can just think on two situations.
One is a broken screen, but thats pretty obvious.
And the other is a broken boot partition. Its very strange that you cant get into software upgrade mode. You sure you removed SIM, battery and SD, and then plugged it to the cable while holding the volume buttons?
I dont doubt you did it well, just making sure. Anyways AFAIK you should be able to enter that mode unless you got a broken boot partition.
Best of luck, sorry Im not of much help.

Hi, thank you for your answer.
Yesterday oder so, I connected my phone without SIM, SD and battery while pressing vol+ to my pc and it showed the S/W-Update "Wait while update is in progress" or something. I was happy because the display isn't broken. But then I flashed again and the display is as black as before...
I thought about a broken bootloader. Do you guys know a way to fix it? Or the boot partition?

Im pretty sure that if you can see the software update mode, you can unbrick the device.
When you said you reflashed something, do you actually mean that you smartflashed the fls and bin files from a stock v20 rom? AFAIK the bin file carries a bootloader with it so it should get fixed if your problem is the bootloader.
And by the way, while the phone has that black screen and is stuck booting... Are you able to use adb commands? You could try to jump to the recovery with "adb reboot recovery" to see if you got a working recovery.
Best of luck, tell me how it goes

And no, I can't use adb commands, sadly. It says "cannot find device" or something like that.

Huhmmm... Quite strange.
You can try to open up device manager, look for the phone (will probably have no drivers and the icon will have a yellow triangle) and force installing adb drivers. After that you are supposed to use adb even in middle of a boot.
I'd say that your best chance is to get to your recovery, so you can wipe everything (even formatting system) and start from scratch...
Anyways Im no expert at all... Just trying to help.

Sometimes ADB works, but it says "device offline". When I flashed PRE-IZS fls/bin from the spanish forum, and then V30B bin/fls, something really weird happens: The phone is on, the wake-button works well - it turns on and turns off the display and the softkeys. But the screen doesn't show anything - just black.
Hello there!
Did You try out the B2C tool provided by LG? And there is one other tool provided by LG. Just try these oit. If they dont work, then try claiming it under warranty. They might replace the motherboard.
P.S: If You have the money, sell this piece of **** and get a Sony or Samsung. Cheers!

An easy, possible fix for The Device offline is to use the latest ADB. Just use the attached zip anywhere and use ADB, its the latest version from the android SDK, but just the files required for ADB. My nexus 4 had the same problem, but Solved it by updating ADB.

Yes, I did, but Smartflash works "less" than the KDZ-Updater. Actually the phone beeped today while it was on (with some kdz flashed) :silly:
Is it possible to convert patched bin/fls files to kdz?
I don't know, probably not... what I can say is that kdzu doesn't perform full wipes since it's intended to update the system and keep datas at the same time. You probably need wipes...

Oh ok... But with KDZ-Updater, it's possible to turn the phone off and on (screens is "on" but shows the color black while the softkeys are on too).
I'll try again with Smartflash... Do you know another version of it or a good tutorial? Maybe I've done the wrong method or something...
there are several tuts in this forum. smartflash is the quickest and safest way to restore / unbrick as it erases everything in the internal memory

ADB side service is not active while in S/W mode. The only chance to access to recovery is to boot normally, and access to the device via ADB. The problems are : device needs to pass initial boot process for being able to be detected by ADB (even if you don't see the desktop it's ok), and USB debug must be enabled by default...
so, if you can't pass initial boot process, no chance to use ADB, and, if it passes, usb debug must be enabled or device will remain offline...

Is there a chance to enable it manually?
the only chance is to flash a ROM which have it enabled by default for the most of them.
mine died because of the new twrp 2.6. It has definitively corrupted the boot partition as even smartflash can't ends its process. I had to buy another device...
