bricked P920

kold11 · Dec 12, 2011

My phone hanged (froze) when I was answering a call.
Screen went partially black and was not responding.
I switched off by long pressing the power button and now the phone won’t start.
Removing battery, SIM card, microSDHC doesn’t help.
I also cannot enter Recovery mode.
I tried unbrick with this method but when connecting computer detects new hardware omap4430 and after 1 sec omap4430 disappears/disconnects and then connects again and immediately disconnects and again…
The same both on Win7 64bit and clean installed XP 32bit.
ROM ThiaiZO3D V2.1 GB
Please help.

edit:
I was searching this forum and found similar problem here. So is it hardware problem (PCB)?

While in device manager you will see omap, connect and disconnect. You have to be fast and double click it to install...

I tried it, phone is still disconnecting when I hold volume up and power or when I hold any other combination of keys.

When I connect the phone (with battery) and press only power I hear sound of connecting device in windows and then immediately disconnecting sound.
So it looks like the phone wants to start but something is damaged, blocking (I think it's hardware problem). Also in the past it hanged many many times (but I was able to restart until the last one).

Right now phone is on the way to service.
Thanks everyone for help.
I will inform about results of repairing by service.

Same exact problem

Got the same exact problem with mine. It's a rogers LGP925G and no matters if I install the driver or anything nothing is doing the trick.

I'm going to drop it at rogers tomorow for warranty repair/replace and hopefully Lg staff won't be able to see I changed the software since it's impossible to even have the phone connected to a computer.

It happened to me when I tried to format a 32GB sdcard on cyanogenmod7 nightly 5

I'm not blaming cyanogenmod at all, it's a great rom and I know the maintainer is doing a great my dream and nexus one are still running uber fine on both of them.

So it's only to try to see what can have cause this problem and if there is a crosslink to do with both cases.

Also did you tried warranty replacement? did it work??

how i unbricked my O3D

Its rather simple really.

the easiest way is to just download the software update software on lg site for phone model. launch the software. Take out battery, attach usb to pc, then hold volume up and power at same time, the software will see phone, select customer support then recovery – type IMEI number and then software will just re download and flash the phone to repair. this is the way that LG software can repair a rooted phone gone bad, though LG will not tell any1 this when u call them, i work in the industry and a former LG technician mentioned this to me. worked a treat when i thought i bricked my O3d. Also this usually just does a repair installation so usually it keeps all your settings.

You are completely right, I have saved my phone three times like this and it's brilliant!

My story

Ok, i swapped my internal and external sds, after that plugged in to my laptop Win7.
it told me to format the "sdcard", i did it. But, it told me it had only 128kt memory? WTF? i did it, and after that rebooted. or no, i shut it down
and then no boot. no download mode. i tried http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1244490 but no, it just lags, device manager refreshes 24/7, finds it every 5 secs... I WAS AND IDIOT! DO NOT DO THIS!
Itried that method on xp machine.

Same problem here... OMAP connects and disconnects to fast, I tried omap4boot fix... but It didn't work. Finally, I sent it to repair, as it was on warranty.
