[HOWTO] Unbrick Hardbricked (stuck onUSB Logo) MeMo Pad ME170CX (and others) - MeMO Pad 7 General

This guide will help you unbrick your hardbricked MeMo pad or possibly other device. For the purpose of this guide, hardbricked will refer to a device's software being damaged to the point where standard procedures and utilities (adb, fastboot, recovery, etc.) will not be able to make the device functional again. In order to be hardbricked, you essentially need to erase or damage the bootloader. Without the bootloader, you can't use fastboot or recovery since all of those things require the bootloader. This guide addresses that situation (your device should be displaying nothing but the USB logo, as seen in the attachment). If you have a working bootloader and can run fastboot commands, THIS GUIDE IS NOT FOR YOU and will only possibly make things worse.
This guide is directed towards the ME170CX, which is also apparently called the ME70C or KO1A; however, the same process should work for other MeMo Pad devices and even other Intel devices. I cannot provide much help for other devices, so try at your own risk.
Do not follow this guide unless it is your last hope or you know what you are doing. I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your device in any way.
We will use the Intel Phone Flash tool, which can be used with a variety of Intel devices to flash firmware. You can use the Manufacturing Flash Tool instead if you'd like.
Here are the steps:
Obtain and install all drivers and software from the bottom of this post.
Download the factory image zip from the manufacturer's website; make sure it matches your device before flashing!. Extract the contents of the zip. Extract the contents of ifwi.zip into the same folder.
Plug in the device and open the Phone Flash tool. In the Phone Flash Tool window, click on "Custom Flash" on the left and pick "system (blankphone)" from the Type dropdown.
For each of the first four files, pick the one that matches:
CLVp_CSAX_FWR_DnX_20.3E.bin for FW DnX
IFWI_v64.25_CSAX_PROD.bin for IFWI
CLVp_CSAX_OS_DnX_20.3E.bin for OS DnX
fastboot.img for OS Image (this doesn't seem right, but it worked for me)
Once the four images are in place, click "Register flash file". At this point, your device should be displayed in the white rectangle on the page and the start flash button should now be clickable. Press the button, and flashing will commence. If you see "Windriver Error: 0x20000015, Timeout expired" in the console, try rebooting the device and flashing before the USB logo comes up (the device will appear in the Flash Tool before the logo comes up).
After a few seconds, you should see the Intel splash screen and you will be taken to droidboot. From there, it should be fairly easy to recover the device.

If you encounter any issues or corrections, please respond to this thread and let me know. Also, I was getting tons of driver errors (Windriver Error: 0x20000015, Timeout expired) the second time I tried to do this. The trick seems to be pressing the flash button before the USB logo appears.
I discovered most of this information from these two resources:

Hey @korockinout13!
1st of all, thanks for this, I have hard bricked my ME70cx and I needed a solution...
Unfortunately it is not working... I have followed your instructions but I keep getting the error "Windriver Error: 0x20000015, Timeout expired"
I have reinstalled the drivers (iSOC and Intel USB) but nothing changes, the same error keeps appearing.
You say "The trick seems to be pressing the flash button before the USB logo appears." BUT the start flash button is only clickable AFTER the USB logo appears
Any help shall be appreciated

I literally faught that error for a whole day. I tried 5 different computers, all had that issue. Usually my tablet would connect and disconnect once before the logo came up. Within that brief window, I was able to start the flash and it worked. I'm pretty sure that's what did it. If you aren't seeing this, turn up your PC's volume and listen for the USB sounds.
This whole thing is pretty annoying, but when it works, it works.

Thanks
I shall keep going at it until it works or I find another solution.

PLEASE help me!

Hello,
My device has a screwed up boot partition, but not the bootloader. My question is, how do I get this to flash without going into the USB mode?

Then how do I unbrick my device? I need to flash a new boot partition.
Some background: I installed the Lollipop update, then flashed the kitkat boot and fastboot IMG files (your average stupid Ryan). Can't get into fastboot anymore

Booting normally results in an "error" screen. randomly spamming vol up+vol down+power (SPAM!) brings up recovery, then do "apply update from adb." it puts it in a special adb where you can only use adb sideload

Hm... seems like you should be able to work with that if you have something flashable.

Repair
Hi,
I think i can help you out because i worked with the intel tool for weeks now to find a solution to root the me581cl.
Go to my thread and download a newer version of intelPhone tool.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/root-downgrade-asus-me581cl-t3075678
If you crashed your tab totaly, you must put the 4 OS IFWI,dnx files like in the first post and then also boot.img, fastboot.img, recovery.img.
Uncheck only the ifwi folder, but select it before. So its possible to check blank phone and on demand flash.
Then click start flash and the files get loadet up. Now push vol+ and vol- togehter and plug in the device.
(device must be off before you plug it in. If not, press 10 sec the power button.)
The reest you can read in my thread. A downgrade from Android 5 to 4.4 is also possible.
Good luck

Guys, my ME176CX is shafted after completing the L update, it boots to the android with the red exclamation box...i can get past this by using the volume + & power and arrive in the recovery. from there I have tried the wipe cache/wipe userdata (doesn't help) also i tried to adb sideload one of the roms in the collection of roms thread. no good. ideas??

Any solution?
I have a ME176CX, I upgraded the SO I got the message "it said 'Unable to detect power status' for me was weird but I keep going pressing the volume button it started but in the black screen with this message:
"FastBoot Starting...
FastBoot Starting...#1
FastBoot Starting...#2
FastBoot Starting...#3" I don't know what to do, It doesn't move from this screen.
Man I'm living in Venezuela a bad country to get damaged any gadget everything is 5 times expensive who your country and without any help in our soil by ASUS.

is this solution applicable to non-intel memopad? (e.g. me172V)

No, this is very specific to the Intel chipset.

Do I understand you used rom manager to install cwm? If so you just flashed TF201 recovery ( cwm ) onto a TF300 unit.
Use this link as it was made just for this situation.

I'll have to think a little about this problem. No recovery, no boot, no bootloader menu, correct?
While stuck on Asus logo try fastboot devices and adb devices, report.

Humor me!
Example:
I can run "adb logcat" and get logs long before unit completely boots or leaves the screen you are stuck on. Force power off by holding power till screen goes black power on, give one of the commands I gave above,. Do the same and try the other command. Report. You are pretty well trapped and we are looking for any way to process one command by adb or fastboot.
If neither of the above works we have a couple more option. but they will be handled much the same.
In looking at our posts I don't believe we are communicating very well.
Maybe someone else can come in and help you better.
Anyone?

2 days ago i send my tf300 to asus but they called me this morning and ask for 150€ for repair (they told me: the flash memory must be change), i haven't this money, i take tablet to home this afternoon, there is a way to solve the problem by me without asus support? need help :crying:
Edit:I went to the center asus, and I taked my asus tablet, they told me that asus did that price (150€, i not accept that price and i take my tab to home), and that there may be a cable (I doubt it) that has the ability to connect your tablet to your PC even if bricked.
the tablet now is currently charging because battery is too low to poweron.
i hope you might help me. I'm desperate
The pc didn't recognize it in any way, try vol+ and power , vol- and power but nothing, can't access to flash menu and pc didn't recognize. how can i do?

If you have cord plugged between pc and tablet and both powered on do you get anything if you use command ( adb devices )? I'm not talking about trying to get into any menu or using volume or anything else.
Just connect the cord between pc and tablet and give command.
You may have already done this but I'm not sure and it would be nice to know the message if the command fails!

connect powered tablet to pc and in terminal type - adb devices - tell me what response you get from command.
It may not work but is worth a try before you go farther.
If you have not set your path for adb you will need to cd into proper directory with terminal first before sending command. I can't even guess because I don't know your OS but since you had cwm you have used the terninal - Windows = cmd or command.com

This shows us you are in your home directory and your os does not know where adb is located. You probably used fastboot to flash cwm to your tablet. Fastboot and adb are normally in the same directory and you need to cd to that directory as you did when you flashed cwm.
If you don't know where that is located you can search for adb or fastboot.
Sorry I don't have windows, I'm using Ubuntu on a mac (I don't even use mac but have it on an external drive if needed). We can figure it out if we are both patient.
So if the above does not give needed results tell me and we'll adjust.
Ok i've tried fastboot and adb but fastboot tell me:wait for device and adb devices can't recognize tablet, there are no device under the list of connected device.
I've tried fastboot reboot and adb reboot to test if the device was connected but nothing happened.

One step down. If you have tf300t on left side about one inch - 25.4 mm below sdcard there is a small hole (reset). With cord still plugged between pc and tablet, power on tablet and use a small paperclip to insert gently into hole. As you insert you will feel it stop, gently push slightly farther and you will feel a little spring.
This will cause your unit to restart and if we are lucky there will be a change in what happens with commands (adb - fastboot) and or what is displayed on the screen.

Only two things left that I know about. You previously listed a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766227 that might possibly work but at the position we are in currently if it doesn't work we won't know the difference and the drivers already on your pc that are known to work will be replaced so.
1.
I have seen a post somewhere that the case was removed and the battery disconnected and then reconnected and that allowed access to the bootloader menu by holding down volume while reconnecting the battery.
2.
Try the drivers listed above.

I don't like either choice but with no adb or fastboot access, no recovery, and no bootloader menu we are pretty well trapped.
Just thought of something I have read twice recently. Even though fastboot appears to not work give it the command two or three times. I think I would try this first. Since a stock blob contains rom and recovery I would try to flash stock 10.4.2.13 blob.
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
wait here because this is a big file
fastboot -i 0x0B05 reboot
You would unzip stock 10.4.2.13 twice to get the blob. Place the blob into the directory where you found fastboot.

Does windows device manager sees any kind of a transformer device?
If yes try to install the drivers by hand.
right klick on the device
choose update driver software
choose search manually on computer
next window choose from a list on computer (the one at the buttom of the window)
Then you will get a 2sided window
right side you have the company names
left side you have the model type
if you have something like asus ther on the right side choose it
then on the left side choose Asus android ADB device (!!!! not the one with Composite)
then klick on next
if a window pops up saying something like its not recommended just hit yes and install it anyway.
Translatet it from German, so I hope the translation is correct. Just follow the steps and you will know what I mean.

Translatet it from German, so I hope the translation is correct. Just follow the steps and you will know what I mean.

Need Help! Tablet Stuck and Fastboot Not Working

I am sitting dead in the water with an EVGA Tegra Note 7 that can't turn on Wireless and won't let me install drivers to move further or even do a restore.
First off I am using Tomsgt Super Tool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627654
So my device was continuing to fail an OTA update so I was going to use this device to reinstall the basic 4.4.2. However during the process Fastboot.exe gave a failed message in Windows, but it showed fastboot after the device name. I continued to let it Restore Tegra Note 7 to Android 4.4.2 and first of all it did it way too fast and once it was finished I couldn't get the Wireless to enable. I read another person with the same problem that had to redo the process. Well I can't get past reinstalling ADB and Fastboot, now not even ADB..
I tried uninstalling the device from Windows letting it reinstall and then checking it again. No matter what I do the USB Driver Scan fails over and over. I got this issue the first time, but somehow I got it to catch the device once and install ADB.
1) Yes USB Debugging in Enabled
2) Yes Anti-Virus is Off
3) Bootloader unlocked
4) Tried Different USB Ports
So what the hell is going on here?? All I wanted to do was run a damn OTA update.. Now I have a tablet with no wireless and I obviously can't do an OTA update now.

}
I was thinking about not using the tool and doing it all manually like I used to do, but all the tool does is auto execute files/folders in specific orders, basically an elaborate .bat file. So if it is failing at ADB, it is going to fail for me manually too.
Please give me some idea of what to do. I don't see how relocking the bootloader would do anything, but aside from that it was a non-rooted stock 4.4.2 OS running.
Is there something I need to do in order to get Impactor to work?
So then I plug the device into a 9 year old laptop with Windows XP and Impactor sees the device on the first try and installs the driver (it takes 2-3 minutes). Then it finishes and I close impactor, but I get an error next saying device not found. I restart the machine and now it is exactly like my desktop, Impactor can't see the device at all.
What in the hell is going on here? If I had known all this was going to happen I would have skipped their damn OTA update that continued to fail.
BTW with XP I can prevent Windows from installing any type of driver, so I did. Should I let XP search for a driver and see what happens?
Someone throw me some ideas, you can see a full explanation of what is happening if you scroll up to my screenshot. I basically have a dead device because I wanted to use this tool to do a recovery...
Wireless refuses to turn on, it just sits there for hours if I let it.
Someone please give me guidance, I was out of the Android scene for a while and I've forgotten a lot of the tricks I used to know.
If your computer is recognizing the fastboot mode that is all you need. Forget the supertool for now.
Can you use the tablet to get into the Fastboot Protocol? It so that will put it in fastboot mode even if it doesn't look like it.
If that works, you can run TWRP or a custom recovery by using ADB and the fastboot command "fastboot boot TWRP_recover.img"
Notice the fastboot "boot", that will only run TWRP once so if you want to on your tablet for good you replace boot with "flash". fastboot flash TWRP_recover.img
You have to make sure the filename is correct with the custom recovery you downloaded.
At this point, put the update you want on your SD card, put that card in the tablet, and go to TWRP or your custom recover and upload the new software.
It sounds complicated but it isn't.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't think Fastboot has completely installed on my tablet. When I hit Fastboot kernel all I get is a black flash and back to the bootloader again. I believe there is a quick message that flashes the first time I try to select Fastboot, however it's way too fast to read. When I do it again after that is when I will see a black flash, but apparently from what I have heard that is all Fastboot kernel is supposed to do??
How do I verify Fastboot is working before I flash the damn thing?

That is what I was saying when I said you wouldn't even know you're in fastboot. The black-screen with message flashes for a milisecond and goes back to the same screen so it looks like nothing happened when it is actually in fastboot mode.
You can verify this by running your super tool and it will say "fastboot device"
Do you know how to use the ADB command prompt?
Using that, I flashed a custom recovery and then put the below 4.3 zip file on my SD card and going through the tablet I used the TWRP custom recovery to upload 4.3 on the tablet.
I used this old backup of 4.3:
Forum post and links: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2580287
Backupfile name: productionbl_signed_tn7_114gp_2923379__4.3.zip
FYI,
I was in your same situation and that worked for me. I could not get my computer to recognize my device in anything other than fastboot mode.

Can I get some official links for the newest/compatible versions of TWRP and the latest stock ROM I can install that is the most up to date (with Google Apps)?
Sorry to ask, but I am short on time most of the time and I might have an hour or so to work on it tomorrow.
Sorry I don't have official links but it would take you 10mins to find them through google. Good luck.
I have two files which I believe are correct except the TWRP file has an odd extension..
"Shaky156-TWRP-recovery.img.exe"
the other that is supposed to have GApps is: Stock-4.4.2-2.5-TegraNote7.zip
If that zip is only like 440 MB is that even possible? Can someone point me in a better direction if this sounds wrong.
Sources, TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586432
Actually thinking about it and I bet with having things specific to img files like IMGBurn and other software it may create a .exe so it's easier to emulate it as a disk.
Do we have any good custom ROMs these days you'd suggest over stock? Are any that stable yet? If not can anyone find me a complete download if a 440MB zip is too small to have GApps in it.
I used Fastboot commands to get TWRP installed and Android is "upgrading.." now, so hopefully this will fix it.
I have the tablet up and running going into Google Play now.
I used this thread's link for the latest TWRP (2.7.1.0): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586432
I got a completely stock version of 4.4.2 and OTA shows this as the most up to date version. I got my copy of the 4.4.2 ROM out of the Super Tool's folder that you can find here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2627654
The tricky part to this my first time was I forgot you can open a command window inside the folder that contains TWRP/Fastboot/etc. (hold Shift and Right Click in the folder where all the data is and hit open command window)
Obviously everything came off a SD Card installed into the TN7.

Hi
Is anyone able to explain how to rectify wifi being turned off constantly in basic non technical talk?
I am not a tech pro and am unsure what to do

Your best bet is to find someone you know who the above is not a foreign language to. I mean it could be broken down step by step as basic as possible and you may still not understand parts.

[Q]Stuck on Google splash

OK, first, I have searched the internet and XDA for help.
Currently, I'm stuck on The black screen with Google. It shows the unlocked Bootloader icon as well. Earlier today I was stuck in a boot with CM boot animation, but that's apparently gone now. I can fastboot, so I'm pretty sure it's recoverable. In TWRP, it says unable to mount /system, /data/ cache/ storage, basically everything. Using NRT i've flashed stock everything, which didn't work, so I tried flashing the kernel, which also didn't work, so I tried the bootloader and system, but they all result in the google splash screen. I am completely out of ideas.
Question: How do i fix it?
Edit: It stayed on the splash screen for at least 4 hours and it wasn't caused by anything I did. No ROM flashes, nothing. It was working then it wasn't.

If you are using NRT, try to flash stock with soft-bricked/Bootloop option.

Thanks for the help, you even edited a screenshot :') haha unfortunately, no luck. But some interesting stuff happens when I do the stock flash.
First time I tried (yesterday), I went through the instructions just how they're listed, I erased all user data and rebooted, still stuck. This time, though, I couldn't get it to boot the stock recovery. Tried pwr+Vol Up like the directions say, but it gets stuck on splash. Tried Pwr+Vol down and I could boot into TWRP which informed me that it was still unable to mount any partitions and that there was no OS installed.
Edit: Looked closer at the command prompt log from the flash and noticed it failed to write any of the images. Sending is OKAY but writing FAILED.

Hmmm.
Its possible your cable is no good, but it could be something else like a driver issue or charging port failure.
Try using a known good, high quality data cable. Also try connecting to a different USB port on PC.
Just so I understand better.
What version of android did you attempt to flash?
Were you using NRT to flash when the flashing's failed?
Was Force Flash enabled in NRT? .......Try that.
Did you try flashing a different version of STOCK android?
Do you have Android ADB/fastboot installed on PC aside from the one in NRT?
If so, does fastboot detect your phone when running the command "fastboot devices" while in the bootloader?
Is ADB able to detect your phone when running the command "ADB devices" while in TWRP?
I'm at work now, but I'll try new cables and ports when I get home as well as the adb commands.
I was trying to flash 5.0.1 , and was running some CM12 nightly when it failed. To be clear, the ROM was working fine until it wasn't.
I was using NRT and I had force flash selected (recommended settings I think), but I'm not 100% sure post flash factory reset was checked but in the CMD log I did see it wipe and attempt to write userdata.
I have not tried a different version of stock.
I believe ADB is installed outside of NRT abd i have to manually set my path variable to C:/ADB (which screws up normal command prompt, but idk how to fix that) for NRT to work. I have a 2013 nexus 7 and used the same setup to flash PA a while back without any issues.
NRT doesn't detect my phone when displaying the splash screen, but idk about TWRP.

So the computer does not recognize a fastboot device while in TWRP, but does in the BL.
I attempted to flash 5.0 with the settings mentioned, no luck

If you are absolutely certain your cable is a good one, it is possible you have a driver issue, but I doubt it.
You could try deleting/uninstalling you current ADB driver set and then install the following ADB clockworkmod universal drivers . It might help.
64bit
32bit
If you decide to install the drivers. make sure you select "Android Composite ADB Interface"
after installing the driver set
If that does not help, I am sorry to say, you are likely looking at a hardware failure of the charging port(Dock Connector &Flex Cable)
It looks easy and economical to replace. I found the part here, but you could Google around. I have no experience with the following site.
http://www.repairsuniverse.com/lg-nexus-4-e960-dock-connector-flex-cable-replacement.html
If it were my N4(still great phone), I'd replace the part and attempt to re-flash.
Best of luck.

Thanks for the links, I might give it a go.
I bought an original Moto x last night for $100 and I was going to root the potatoes out of it, but who knew non-nexus phones were so difficult to unlock? Damn AT&T....
I sort of suspected it was a hardware issue when I was getting nowhere with NRT, but I wanted confirmation from someone more knowledgeable than me. Any idea on the likelyhood it is something other than the port? The bit that concerns me is that TWRP was unable to mount any partitions, but then again, if i couldn't connect while in TWRP, sort of sounds like a port issue.
oh well...

Could be a bad eMMC but I doubt that. Port failure is more likely to be the issue based on your inability to ADB devices in TWRP.

Its harder know exactly when using NRT.
That is one reason why, IMO, it is far better to use Fastboot commands to flash instead of relying on toolkit automation.(I do think NRT is the best toolkit)
My guess is NRT sends erase commands to a partition before flash attempts which then failed or sometimes, when a port goes bad,
it is intermittent, a partial flash occurs which would also explain why TWRP can,t mount a particular partition.
For ten bucks delivered on eBay its a no brainier to change out the port. It will probably fix it and if not, you'll have learned something.

Well i replaced the port and the battery and i'm having the same problem. And I did check to make sure I didn't reinstall the old port.
Guess she's dead :'(
Hmmm... You can connect in fastboot mode, right?
How about re-locking and unlocking the bootloader? It helped me several times...
You'll have to search about how to use fastboot. Connect your phone to your pc while in fastboot mode, and type this into terminal window :
fastboot oem lock
(Press enter)
(bootloader will be locked)
fastboot oem unlock
(Press enter)
(Phone's screen will display sth, use volume keys and power keys to unlock the bootloader)
(It will erase itself)

Have you tried flashing Jellybean or kitkat stock rom by fastboot?
If that doesn't work, then the problem is within EMMC. You'll have to let her go...

Fastboot mode not detected by PC

So my G2 D800 is currently stuck on Fastboot mode but whenever I run the command "Fastboot devices" it only shows the device as "?", which I thought meant that it had issues recognizing it because of corrupted drivers.
After doing some searching, I decided to download Google USB drivers and LG device drivers, but sadly the computer installs the device as "ADB Google Interface" or "Fastboot Google Interface" and not as an LG device, and this makes the device to show as "?" when the "Fastboot devices" command is run.
I also tried the "ADB devices" command and it came back with a empty line where the G2 should appear.
Just for the record, the G2 cannot enter into Download mode nor Recovery Mode.
Is there a way of making my device show up properly?

ADB devices doesn' t work as it' s in fastboot mode. The ? doesn' t matter fastboot should work.
There are also plenty of guides here in general how you can fix your problem. you need to use the fastboot flash command to flash the proper files to get everything working again. I suggest to erase download mode partition first and get your phone booting/working recovery again. Cause if you did something wrong you could always still enter Fastboot mode by entering download mode because the download mode will be missing so it will go to fastboot.
So fastboot is detected else there wouldn' t be a ?
the only solution for your case is to use testpoint solution to get the download mode (fastboot dont work) i have the same problem before.

I wishi I could make it get into download mode xP
Ok, I will keep updating this and hopefully if I find the solution, I might be able to help others with the same case as me.
So far I've tried:
*Flashing all *.img files of my model (D800).
-If you are able to finally enter Download mode, but when you try to flash the ROM you can't because of a wrong model, please check here for a solution.
*Since the method above did not work for me, I had to "destroy" download mode to get back into Fastboot mode so I could Flash TWRP recovery image file.
This has caused my phone to stop being recognized by the PC, which means that when the fastboot commands are run, I cannot get it to work as the computer doesn't know the exact location of the phone (USB, Vendor ID, Details about phone).
To try to make it appear again, I redownloaded the drivers, fastboot files and even went as far as installing manually the drivers through Linux, but none of this seem to work.
As of now, the phone cannot be recognized, but I won't give up until I find a solution!!!

Did you also tried linux to run the fastboot command as root? Or did you saw the device in device manager in windows?
If all the things don't work then you might need to do the hard brick fix method.
It also may sounds odd but check oe the device is maybe recognized in adb
I ve had same problem as op does. What I did is next:
1. Opened phone and shortened those two capacitors to force phone in QHUSB_BULK mode. (there is tutorial on XDA how to do it)
2. After I connected it to PC it showed many partitions (as it supposed to do)
3. Followed this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_d5b_osUTug
4. Flashed .kdz of choice using flashtool
Im in u hurry now but ask if you need anything else and Ill anwer you when I get home.

When I used the "lsusb" command I would get back a google device connected as the vendor ID.

I'd try this, but I don't have a guide good enough to show me which capacitor I should deal with...

I tried with Linux and it wasn't identified.
When I used the "lsusb" command I would get back a google device connected as the vendor ID.
ADB doesn't recognize it either

so it partly like works, perhaps you can still get it to work but else you must do the hardbrick fix method from general. I can't say much other things how you could fix it if fastboot mode doesn't work recovery not then you must use that.

Yeah, its a bit tricky when doing it first time but its not that hard. I used this tutorial to open phone and short those capacitors. You just have to remove almost all conectors (but camera one) and remove everything to get to SoC.
I did try to shorten capacitors and removes all connectors but i suppose to shorten them when i put back connectors exept the battery , the probleme whene i reattach them i can no longer see the capacitors @@
There is that small metal piece that is glued to one of those conectors I have removed to be able to access capacitors.

No, there is one bellow it but it might be different in your phone. What version of G2 do you have?

So exactly same device as mine. And mine device was recognized as "?" as well. I have tried all drivers and yet it didnt work.
Is your phone still opened?
There is one small hole on each side of back of device from which you can see LCD. When you successfuly shorten capacitors youll see purple-like color which means display got power although if you flip your phone your screen will look like its not on. After that you connect battery conector and unplug USB and your device should (well, mine at least did) be in bulk mode.

Well first you need to remove the buttons plate as it's located underneath that. See the images if you don't know what I mean:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/lg-g2-unbrickable-fix-real-hard-brick-t2904404
The only video perhaps available I searched through the thread was this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15krGmydqgQ&feature=youtu.be
It isn't very clear with the unbricking situation but I unbricked my phone using the images too, Just try to read and see the images and you should be able to unbrick it only you need a thin wire kinda not too large. I couldn't find a smaller wire so it took me like 15 minutes to get it unbricked as I also had some fail attempts.
Yes sir thats my probleme , I tryd to remove the buttons plates but they are stuck with both side , in the video u gave , they are separated
---------- Post added at 10:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 PM ----------
well i succeeded to remove button plate , and my device was read as bulk mode. and now i reattached battery and unplug usb connector, now i put back buttons ? and plug it again or what i do exactly ?

So we are starting the GUIDE:
1.First you need the drivers so you can get from this https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1T7tp6tJ_3kX3p6SUxWb2NfWTQ&usp=sharing
2.After you installed the Drivers go to. Download mode if not goes try this... Press Volume UP and Volume DOWN and connect to usb to your pc
3.Go to device Manager to view the Port ,so the port can be "Android HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM3)"
4.Download the Panasonic Firmware Eluga and Extract (don't worry this is the same like idol 3 only name changed)https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B01OmzpKE6vAVDhaSFN2aVFzaVU
5. After Extract you wil find EB-90S55EWLv1009.exe so run as administrator wait to load data

If you want to go to CM or Stock for Idol 3
-i will write guide to unlock bootloader and flash TWRP recovery
-You must have Minimal Adb and Fastboot
-type "adb reboot-bootloader" to reboot into bootloader. The device should reboot to the screen showing " .powered by android". This is bootloader mode.
-Then type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb devices" should show some numbers and "fastboot" after the numbers
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info" shows device info including bootloader status (e.g. locked).
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem unlock" to unlock the bootloader; after this you should get, for device info,
-Type "fastboot -i 0x1bbb oem device-info" and you should see "Device unlocked: true"
-You successfully unlocked the bootloader one step more to flash the recovery
-Download the TWRP RECOVERY FROM THIS LINK:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24421527759881858
-Then copy from when you downlaod and paste the recovery in C:\Program Files\Minimal ADB and Fastboot

problem with idol 3 4.7 6039K
Hi there,
I don't know if this is the correct section, I hope so, otherwise I really appreciate you can drive me to the appropriate one, it's new for me this forum!
I have an idol 3 4.7, where I have installed kingroot and after I took out (I didn´t reset the phone, Just unistall the app),
yesterday i received the update system message, I imagine for the marshmallow update, so I say Yes, install it.
But the phone entered in bootloop. I only have the initial screen with the options as Reboot system, adb and so on.
I tried to wipe but nothing. So now my phone stucked. I tried with an assistance center in Quito but they could't
My questions are:
may I use this system for 6039K?
Or does anybody hear about a solution in this case?
Should I open and take out the battery?
Please, any suggestion will be really welcome in order to make the phone work again.
P.

Can you try with Mobile upgrade Q to restore,if doesn't work
Use this guide from wiemar ,it should help to you because it's for your model

If you any questions ask me
Hi ! I follow the guide up to the section 9, unfortunately, in the Panasonic Firmware Eluga and Extract after pressing download it stops after 2% and I have got the error message "load nprg error error code 5002". Does someone know how to fix that ?

Tell me info About your phone? Model,Country,ROM...../?
All is standard, no root, no twrp and the latest software from alcatel, the model is 6045Y. But all of a sudden my phone decided to random reboot and it didn't stop
So i looked to unbrick it and came with a couple of options, first i tried to sideload software but that didn't work, than i tried it with Mobile upgrade from alcatel and that didn't work.
Than i saw this thread and tried it twice but after Panasonic and the sound it starts to reboot again. Now i'm trying again with Mobile upgrade.
All that is changed is the recovery interface it looks now like it is from MM.

More Looks like Hardware Problem Try again with Mobile q if not works...Send to warranty repair.....
Alek, thank you for this great guide. It saved my 6045k model.
I was messing around with AlekOS 3.0, had issues with lock screen and experimented with modems. I managed to permanently disable secondary sim slot (was using famewolf's modem backups). I forgot to copy modem.img backup to my PC! Also tried bunch of TWRP backups with no luck. My last hope was Mobile Upgrade Q and reverting back tu 5.0.2. Unfortunately with no success (only one sim slot is recognized again).
Finally I found this thread, followed the guide and I can confirm that it did solve sim issue. The setup finished with no errors that you mentioned. It got stuck at 45%, but after a while (10min) it completed successfully.
Cheers!
I'm in the same situation as you,but my problem is that Panasonic Eluga doesn't recognice my devide,drivers are correctly installed,I checked everything but nothing:
