My phone recently became bricked from the recent update and I followed these steps. I got my phone working once again but it's stuck on a "Chameleon" network. Does anyone know how to return it to VM?
Update:
T'was my own fault. I switched phones with VM just to be able to call people today and didn't realize that would make my phone not connect.
Try this https://www.dropbox.com/s/6fccr3egaz5y7td/MegaLock.dllThe driver asks for a password of some sort so it wont let me run it on my computer.
My F3 that completely went black today. No matter what I press the phone stays off, is it too far gone? I did root it about a week ago. When I plug it in, a pop up says qhsusb-dload
so a week ago I successfully rooted my phone, today while using aparted to partition a new sd card on my phone I restarted the phone. Now it wont turn back on, I have tried multiple different ways to get the phone into download mode. and like the quote below me the computer recognizes the device. I have all the programs and files to unbrick but without getting the phone into DL mode im kinda screwed. Can anybody help me and the fellow I quoted with this problem?
Two things I wanted to mention. First, I entered a new screen on the optimus. Instead of 'download mode', I ended up in 's/w upgrade'. Can anyone tell me what this is? I pulled the battery and got back into 'download mode'.
second, I wanted to state that the easy way to get into 'download mode' is to pull the battery, pull the microsd card, replace the battery and then hold down the 'volume up' key and then plug in the usb. Don't press the power.
if that doesn't work, hold the 'volume down' key instead. I have had both work and fail. If one does't work the other will.
Confirmed working. I messed up a system file "vold.fstab" while trying to swap sd card with internal and unbricking was only option. Thank you Sammyz and ev1.
Now that you're back up and running maybe you should give this a try to accomplish the original good in a safer manner. Works great for me in conjunction with Link2SD.
hey man. thanks for that I will give that a try since this is the main reason I got started messing with my phone I appreciate that.
one thing though- my superuser now isn't updating after I re-rooted it via motochopper, the same method I did before flash. I read about others having this issue after a flash. I am fully updated back to V6 and everything else. Any ways to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and re-installing superuser and tried other ones as well and still doesn't update the SU.
Again, thanks guys, this forums is great.
hoping someone can help me here. i've followed all of the steps, but the flash fails at 3% - it says Download FAIL! - when i check the log, it says "[Warning 4] Stream Download Error". I've attempted it about 10 times now, and it fails at the same place every time.
Try with another USB cable and see if that helps.
