Try putting your phone in Download mode
Your phone is off, hold both volume keys and connect your phone through USB with both volume keys still down.
If you do not get to download mode, your phone is hard-bricked and it's tougher to fix it

OK guys so this is the issue, I'm trying to reset my buddies Samsung Galaxy S 2 on T-Mobile. He forgot his password and he asked me to help since I'm handy with cell phones. So I tried the easiest thing and tried to do a hard reset. Now I press and hold Volume Up and Down and Press and hold the Power button until I feel it vibrate and let go of the Power button while still holding Volume Up and Down and it will take me to where it says "# Manual Mode #" but when I scroll down and try to select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" I can't select it. I tried pressing the Home button and the Power button to select it and nothing. I tried all the buttons and nothing. I also tried putting in Download Mode to try to reflash the firmware but when I connect it to the computer I don't here it connect and Odin doesn't recognize it not even in the Device Manager. I tried doing the same on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 and the computer and Odin recognize it just fine. So i'm stumped and need you guys help! Thanks in Advance....
Have you installed the proper USB driver and Kies for the phone on your computer? Make sure you are using the latest Odin.
Also, try flashing a different recovery system such as TWRP once you're able to get Odin working.
As long as you are able to get your phone to connect to Odin, you should be fine. You can even flash a stock ROM through Odin if all else fails.
Good luck!

If you can't get Odin to work, test it on another Galaxy S2 to see if the problem is with the computer. Just a tip.
I have been having the same problem. this t989 i have been working with does not show up on any laptop in the house, and they all have the kies drivers installed. it is "usb device not found." i have been considering wiping the usb storage and sending it straight back to factory settings. but without odin i am going to have to manually flash recovery and all that.. any ideas?? I hooked my phone up to both laptops in the house and it shows up instantly. i am definitely confused. and the worst of it, is ubuntu didnt even recognize the phone.
Do yo have any belkin router software install on your computer. If you have, uninstall it and try.

No luck, installed Kies and didn't recognize phone in Odin. What's weird is that it will not let me factory reset thru the 3 button combo in # manual mode #! I would try a different pc but don't have one atm.
i think i am going to try pointing the phone to googles oem driver
Windows 7
To install the Android USB driver on Windows 7 for the first time:
Connect your Android-powered device to your computer's USB port.
Right-click on Computer from your desktop or Windows Explorer, and select Manage.
Select Devices in the left pane.
Locate and expand Other device in the right pane.
Right-click the device name (such as Nexus S) and select Update Driver Software. This will launch the Hardware Update Wizard.
Select Browse my computer for driver software and click Next.
Click Browse and locate the USB driver folder. (The Google USB Driver is located in <sdk>\extras\google\usb_driver\.)
here is something interesting the phone i am working on the usb storage is not mounted on the phone. has anyone seen anything like this before?
My PC doesn't even recognize the phone while its in odin mode??? It's like it's not even connected!!!

the phone could be borked. one that i hve been working on is the same way. i got ahold of samsung and they told me to send it in for repair.
After clearing cache and everything for an install of my rom if kept failing. With issue 7. Someone with the same problem did freezas bootloader modem flash or something with the same phone. I done loaded the correct install and I restarted my phone. Nothing happened. My phone won't turn on. I've have literally tried everything except usb jig and jtag. before I made a jig I just wanted to see if anyone out there could tell me for sure if this is a jig fix or a jtag fix. Phone won't turn on. Did the factory download mode buttons and nothing. Did the cwm mode buttons and nothing. Held the power button and nothing. Held power and volume up and the power volum down still nothing. Plugged into computer and wall socket, nothing. Take battery out hold power button and plug usb from computer into phone, red charge light connects and then disconnects. I was thinking it may be a soft brick since I do get some sort of response out of it. If it was hard bricked it would do absolutely nothing, or am I wrong?
Also, once I get the red charge light on I have tried using adb to try to reboot boot loader,etc (everything). Doesn't find any devices cuz once plugged in it connects and disconnects. Except for when I plug it in and hold the power button. Only then will it make the connect sound and not the disconnect, but nothing is ever found on computer or with adb when searching. Always no device listed.
Go here to page 17 and read through page 20, it will likely help you unbrick, I had a hard brick lastnight and recovered it myself using this method.

So I bought a used G3 knowing about the issue it had; it didn't boot. I thought I could find a workaround to this but the phone doesn't boot, doesn't enter recovery or download mode. All the info I have is that when I take off the battery the pc sees it as an unknown device, while it's connected I press the power button for several seconds and it disconnects from the pc, reconnects after several more seconds of pressing the power button. Screen remains dead. Seller told me he had a perfectly working phone before he tried to root it and it never turned on again. One more indication is that the LED notification only flashed red a few times when I connected it to the wall charger and that was it. No LED working after that. I'm open to any suggestions though I guess I'm here for someone to tell me there's no hope reviving the device. Thanks in advance!
Same proble with mine but i bricked mines when update to lollipop and never turn on again . still waiting to some one help to revive my LG
If I come across any solution I'll post it here. In the meantime I've tried the following method on a freshly formatted laptop and I still get "Unknown Device" in Device Manager..

same here
same problem, someone told me that if was the board or something like that and that it only can be fixed with a complete replacement of this, also, that it could be fixed with linux using comands to install .APK or .TOT.
linux sometimes sees it as Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM QHSUSB_BULK, using a virtual machine of linux ubuntu, windows 8.1 sees it as unknow device
LG dead since 3 months ago.................. i wasnt using the phone at all when this happended so........... :crying:

I tried using a boot usb drive to see if ubuntu saw the device but it didn't. Maybe there's some things needed that I didn't do. The thing I don't understand the most is why do windows see it as an unknown device only with the battery out while if I connect the G3 with the battery on, it doesn't show anything on device manager..

Hi there.
Please check these 2 threads out and see if any of it will help you. The one for the G2 can also be used for G3.
Here are the links:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/unbrick-lg-g3-qhsusbbulk-qualcomm-9008-t3072091 With this technique you would have to find the software online somewhere but this method does revive dead G3 with these symptoms.

If I helped somehow, hit the THANKS button.
Good luck!
The thing is I can only get the device to be recognized as an Unknown Device in Device Manager and only with its battery out. If I keep 'volume up' pressed nothing happens, it's only shown after I simply connect the USB cable and it pops up after 10 seconds or so. It's very consistent in the way it behaves..
A small update, sometimes when I pull and put the battery again, I connect the phone to a pc while holding down vol- and the pc makes the connected usb sound while the phone led is blinking red for a couple of minutes, then it stops. That's about all there is concerning the phone giving signs of life..
So I soft bricked my LG G Pad II 8.0 Tablet... Not the worst thing in the world, except that 1.) There seems to be not much at all on the internet as far as stock ROMs or how to guides on fixing my particular tablet. 2.) My computer does not seem to be recognizing my tablet when trying to use ADB, despite having installed all the drivers etc.
My device is stuck in a BootLoop, it will allow me to try a Hard Reset, which is unsuccessful. But it will not go into recovery mode OR Download mode no matter what sequence of the buttons I push and i've scoured the internet trying different button sequences.
My Tablet will charge when plugged into USB, my comp will also go *ding* when i press the power button with the tablet plugged in as if it is reconginzing it and everything. Also Device Manager seems to have it listed with no Exclamation Point or any sign of trouble... Just when I go to use ADB and i search for the device it says *error no device found*
The Tablet just sits there with the LG Logo screen pissing me off more and more as my attempts fail.
I will say USB debugging was not enabled beforehand *cough cough* my mistake
Will reflashing it work by using the MicroSD card method? If that is the only way i will have to just buy one i guess. It did not come with it and it is a Wifi only tablet, no carrier attached.
And if I try the MicroSD method, will it still work without being able to put the tablet into recovery mode?
I believe I have the correct .IMG file for my stock ROM... I just can't seem to get anywhere with flashing it to the device at this point.......
Please Help!

*UPDATE* So I happened to stumble upon a random piece of information that proved REALLY useful in this situation. Someone put in a forum that Lollipop ONLY is detected when plugged into USB 2.0 ports NOT USB 3.0 ports like I was using. So I did this and was able to make my tablet enter into Download Mode FINALLY.... Anyone have any good methods on how to Flash Stock ROM using ADB and a connected soft bricked tablet?
I have already tried a couple methods that I have found and they were unsuccessful. One was using ODIN software and the other was using LG Flash Tool, unfortunately neither worked....
So i was using my phone and decided to restart it after updating my adaway files but my phone never turned back on. The two press the power button screens did not show up either. I tried to uses the MSMdownload tool since i thought my phone was somehow bricked but that didnt work either, it just kept restarting the download process after everything was completed. my computer makes a sound when its connected and it connects correctly as a quallcomm 9008 device but even after all this nothing is working. has anyone experienced something like this or does anyone have any advice?
did you try to long press both power button and vol up ...you should feel a vibration...
maybe it's not turned of maybe it's error causing the screen to be off... also is there any heat?
Which method of the unbrick tool did you use? First or second? If the first, then maybe you should give the second also a try.

I've tried everything and I used th me second method yet nothing happened. I can see my phone get recognized by the computer and get listed on the MSN device list yet nothing happens after it finishes the process. After the green line shows up telling me that it's completed everything the process restarts writhing a few minutes unless I unplug it. No vibration no nothing the phone just died on me after I restarted it .
Try doing MSM on a different PC with all drivers installed , hope it helps
Try to repeat flashing again, there is no other way. Use method 2only. Extract tool again and try flash.
When I was used Xperia Z1, I bricked my phone with a soft brick. So I installed driver in my PC and flash Kernel though FASTBOOT(ADB) either it's not show Device in my PC (I show just "Unknown Device").
After that my phone can connect to my PC again (Now It shown C9303 or something that meant it know it's a phone).
So I can flash by Flashtools again. Soft brick is not scary as Hard brick, you'll find some way to bring it back easily.
Hope this help!
PS. Bricked Phone is WEAK in Battery, always connect it with charger.
