bricked my thrill

i think i bricked my lg thrill it is rooted it does have rom manager just not cwm recovery flashed on it no custom roms but it froze on me a few nights ago so i had to remove the battery. i was just trying to shut it down as i was about to go to bed but now when i do the stock recovery it cant open or mount recovery log and cant mount recovery command any help would be awesomely appreciated as lg does not support this phone thank you very much anyone who wishes to comment and more so anyone who can help

if you can get on the phone you could do fatory reset from there or at startup lg has a build in recovery menu i think its vol+ and power at boot but i might be rong could try google lg thrill revovery menu

yes i tried that its the android stock recovery and its the 3d button+volume down then hold power till lg comes up and release the power button and that is where i get the mount issue

Sorry for the delay.
I managed to flash GB with the LG Flash Tool.
No root for it though.
For your case, it seems as if the computer is having trouble locating the device.
"adb devices" didn't pull up anything.
Can you flash a file with the LG Flash tool?
If so, download V10C_00.kdz and flash that.
Then root and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
I just did that.
EDIT: Acutally. Turn on Team Viewer.

My Thrill is hanging at the LG logo when I turn it on. I'm able to get into recovery mode but wiping the data doesn't help. It just hangs at the logo again once I reboot. Anyone know what I could try?

[Q] Help!

I was trying to flash the stock rom back over GV2.0 and something got hosed and I ended up with what looked like Stock v7....but I still have SU, but no CWM.
So I installed CWM from the marketplace, then tried to book into recovery from there, but now it won't go past the "LG" screen.
What can I do to fix this??
Even after I try to wipe it by holding down the power and volume down buttons, it still just stays on the LG screen.....

There'd be no point in installing cwm atm because he needs help to get his phone out of what he did which when he does he'll be in test mode. OP try contacting mtmichaelson or going to the irc chat #lgrevolution

Ics v28e update without USB question

Can someone advise me on whether it is possible to update to the new Rom without the use of a USB.
My g\f's phone doesn't have usb its bust for some reason.
Is there any other way to load the latest 5.0 cwm, the new bootloader and then install a zip from cwm.
Any help is much appreciated.

1) You should clarify the title. Something like "How to update to v28E without USB". Imagine every thread like "LG P990 question", it's absurd.
2) You should tell us if you want the vlite or the full version of v28E.
3) CWM 5.0 is not the latest.
4) Yes, it is possible, put everything in the sd card =P.
Good luck.

Hello, apologies for that.
Thank you for the fast response.
I would like to install the full version, I am aware that you need to specifically partition the ad, but I can read grains thread for that.
Can I just confirm then, that if there is a zip for the new downloader, cwm and Rom in one zip.
That can be run from cwm?
Thank you

First -- In case you want to go full metal on P990, that means repartitioning, new BB and full flash, you need to flash. There is no other way than using NVFlash, as described in lovely thread in development by Stephan G.
Reasons - reformatting is not easily done from within phone which runs on these partitions, same goes for reflashing recovery from within recovery.
Second -- not sure why without USB?
Third -- there is CWM-possible way by using TonypAndHarsh's vlite V28E rom, yet this goes without new BB and with possibility of no call audio issue.
So, to repeat my answer to your main point, no. There is no way to fully install new system/BB without USB connection and PC. You have to flash it.

Hello. I think you can instal the new ICS without your usb cable.
1. you need to instal rom manager from PlayStore and flash from here the CWM recovery. I recomend you to instal the version 5.2.0
2. Make a nandroid backup before you do something to your actual rom.
3. Use titanium backup to backup all your apps and settings.
4. Put ICS rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1959545 in your sd card (i think you have at leat a card reader and on adapter to put your microsd card) and follow the isntruction from the download page.
Good luck!

Cool thank you will try tomorrow.

I'm sorry but I disagree with you... I think that anyone that thinks about the title for 2 seconds can understand that if the guy is asking if it's possible to flash v28e without USB of course he means the "full" stock ICS leak, the one which requires you to redo your partitions and whatnot... the one that is only possible through nvflash, thus, it is not possible to update to v28e without USB.
Or, you could just reply... hey, it's not possible to flash "the real deal", but you can flash tonyp's "lite" version, which uses the old bootloader and a patched kernel (thus some bugs might come from that) and all you need to do is put the files in the sd card...
I don't know why you had to be so "blunt"...

Thank you for that information, I am currently trying to find out if there is a way to install the right version of CWM, then try to install the new bootloader from within CWM? I am not even sure if that is possible.
I think she is just going to have to get her phone sent back, the only problem is the o2x is discontinued, I doubt they will replace it or fix it. They will probably try and replace it, but only give her something that I wouldn't consider a good replacement. But we'll have to speak to her insurance company first.
I have seen these phones selling on ebay, they are about £100 from what I can gather, it depends what she wants to do. Could buy a new one and sell her one, just a shame really, i found another thread about the USB problem and they had to send it back and get it repaired, must be either a problem with the connection or the board, I would think the board as it charges fine, which is really weird.
Anyway, thank you for you help, i will keep searching to see what i can find.

Just cause you didnt mention it before, but are you running a hacked version of ICS right now on the phone? If you are, it could be a matter of the ADP drivers on your computer? If it was a stupid idea sry. It was just something that pop'd into my head

Hi
I downloaded a stock Rom that had been modded.
So I could be sure that I would have cwm in case anything went wrong.
Rom loaded and was able to get into the secret menu.
I will say that under USB connection type there was misspelling where it said:
LG USB adnroid
Not sure if that would affect it.
I selected that item.
Then went to port.
Selected the different options in ordered and waited about 10 seconds on each turn, then pressed find any changes in device manager unplugged and plugged the USB.
Then tried in different orders but with not luck.
Took the battery out and tried holing the vol up down the plugging in USB but to no avail.
Then pressed power and vol down.
The phone tuned on and showed LG sign then switched off.
I tried pressing check any changes as the LG sign came on but nothing.
Then tried nvflash as the LG sign came on but nvflash showed no connection.
Very weird, definitely dead but still charges, doesn't make sense.
Oh well
Ordered an atrix with work and play kit for 68 quid, has a broken digitizer which will cost 20 pound, on average, off ebay.
Thanks for the help though.
May take the 2x apart when new phone comes and see if there's any physical damage on te board.

[Q] Android 4.0.4 Root?

Hey all!
I have updated my LG p990 to android 4.0.4 using LG´s own software (Stock ROM), and I wonder if there is any way to root that as of yet? superoneclick dont work it seems anymore / yet, and I wonder if the tool from:

perhaps work to root with option 8 but I cant tell myself just by reading and I´m not allowed to ask there directly myself since I lack postcount.
any help will be greatly appriciated!

Use option 3 for root your phone.

thanks for reply, tried it but sadly it did not root me -.-
EDIT:
seems it changed the power button though..... now holding it in wont give me option to turn off and pressing it once wont turn off screen, help please
EDIT2:
nvm my edit, pressed home and power together once to make a screenshot then it works with power as normal again..... phone just thought i was holding down home....

Hey there.
How about try option 2. then change recovery to nvflash?
Then once you have a new custom recovery. Look for a stock ROM here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2076882
its rooted so that might fix it..
not sure if this is gonna work for you though. might wait for someone more experienced to confirm this.

thanks for trying to help puffingman but i got it working I had to use nvflash method and what went wrong before was the installation of su app (superuser), after downloading a new copy and doing it again its rooted

[Q] Getting Started with the LG G2 (Verizon)

My fellow Android users & developers,
I've been out of the game for a while now (since the HTC incredible). I recently purchased an LG G2 when my upgrade came up. I'm moving back from an iPhone. The one thing that I am trying to do with this phone is some how set up tethering. Previously with my incredible I had to root the phone and then install a ROM. I have been searching around google and the site and all I am finding are horror stories of people bricking their phones. There are a million threads here. Can someone point me in the direction of what I need to enable tethering or how to properly root my device so I can install ROMs from the site? Any tips or links would be greatly appreciated!
My Device:
LG G2 VS98039A (Verizon)
Build: LRX22G
Kernel: 3.4.0-perf-ga038154
Thanks,
Scyth3

Just picked up a used G2 that should be arriving tomorrow so doing some homework today on this device. This is what I am planning to do when mine arrives, best of luck to you
root = http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/development/guide-root-method-lg-devices-t3049772
hotspot (see post 339) = http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456338&page=34

First of all, do you have warranty?
If you do, check if your GPS is working, only GPS sensors. There are a lot of reports with LG G2 gps broken, not working, etc.
If its broken, go and replace it. If its works and you are stock 39A, root your phone with root method that @someguyatx recommended and then, install recovery with this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/tool-freedom-tool-vs980-39a-twrp-t3053134
When done, do a full nandroid backup prior doing anything. After that, I can recommend xddadeb version of Lollipop, its great and removes a lot of bloatware.
Anything, just ask

Thank you both for the replies. My warrenty should be gone at this point. I have had the phone for more than a little while I should have mentioned. How would I go about checking the GPS to ensure it is functioning? I have never had any trouble with using google maps or anything of that nature. Also on the link to the rooting page I noticed below the first post is a "one-click root". Should I manually do the instructions at the top or just use the one-click root?
Thanks again!

I am planning to follow the one click procedure link tomorrow to root as soon as I verify my phone works. Check out the video in the one click link from qbking77, his stuff is always good.
If your maps have been working properly then your GPS should be good to go.

I didn't even scroll down far enough to see the video originally haha. Thank you so much for your help. I'm in the process of rooting it now! I'll update the post once I am finished! :good:

Hope it went well, my phone just came in today so I will be rooting it tonight. Looks like I need to update first since its still on android 4.4.2
Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Just an advice: lollipop uses more battery so its not mandatory to update to that versio, its your choice.
Enviado desde mi VS980 4G mediante Tapatalk

I'm updated to lollipop, GPS is working great and I rooted after a few tries with the one click and a driver reinstall. Its refreshing to still have devices that root this easy. IJust need to add recovery and flash the hotspot zip. Thanks Deathsync3 for starting the thread and neondunker. Loving the G2 so far, much snappier than the Droid Maxx
Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk

Remember to do a full nandroid backup of your stock rom, including EFS and those stuff.

Everything went smoothly. I did have some initial trouble though. To anyone using this method it does work BUT, when you get to the point after you have installed the drivers for the device and unzipped the .exe. Plug your phone in and click start root. when you get the prompts on the phone DO NOT check the box that says, "always allow". I REPEAT DO NOT CHECK the box. Simple click "ok" on the prompts and the root will complete sucessfully. I am now onto installing backup , a ROM, and hotspot. @neondunker can you link me to the ROM that you were talking about in the post? Also can you explain a little more in depth or provide a link in regards to what needs to be backed up? Is it still like the HTC Incredible where I had to go in and clear the cache, delvik cache, etc? Thanks again everyone!

Well the idea is to perform a full nandroid backup before leaving stock just in case. Then you can leave that backup on a pendrive or computer.
About the rom, is the xdadeb one in android devolpment. You wont miss it since itsa always in the first page. Just follow the instructions, dumb proof hehehehe.
Enviado desde mi VS980 4G mediante Tapatalk

@neondunker One last thing. How do I enter back into recovery mode now that TWIN is installed? Thanks for all of your other help man!

Two ways
One through adb and the other is to power off the cellphone. Then power up while pressing power + down volume. As soon as the lg logo appears release the buttons and hold again volume down.

What is ADB? annd when I power off then power and hold down the power and volume button it puts the phone into safe mode....I just did some searching outside the fourm. It seems this is the way to get into TWRP.
Try holding volume down + power
Immediately when LG appears let go of both and ONLY hold onto power, should boot into option to factory reset
Hit power button 3 times to continue, then it will load twrp
Even though it highlights factory reset it will NOT erase your data and should open up to TWRP.

Thank you illyfilly and bodom_hc. Bodom_hc's method worked. I know others must be having this same issue/maybe someone should post it up somewhere. I really apprecaite the time you both took out to reply to me. Now I can flash rom's like I have for every other device. Much appreciated, thank you!

Thank you for this! I was having the same problem. I have to admit, I panicked a little when it said it was proceeding with the factory hard reset, but then the recovery screen came up. Phew!
Thanks again.
Can anyone quadruple confirm that doing this does NOT erase all user data/settings and factory reset the G2? I'm honestly too scared to do this as I can't do a nandroid backup without TWRP... Thank so much!

@someguyatx In order to access TWRP using the phones buttons:
****PLEASE NOTE this is for the VERIZON LG G2****
1. Power down your phone
2.HOLD the following buttons: POWER button and the DOWN volume button
3. Once the LG logo pops up let go of the buttons
4. Once the LG logo disappears hold both the POWER and DOWN volume button again
5. This will take you to the factory data reset screen
6.You will see some text that says, "Erase all user & restore default settings --> your selections will be yes or no. Select YES ( just trust me)
7. It will prompt you again ---> select YES, but this time press the power button 3 times ( so YES, YES, YES.)
8. The phone will go back to the LG screen and then the TEAMWIN logo will pop up and take you into recovery.
@someguyatx and @neondunker and @amcleod1995 have a question for both of you though.....This version of TWRP seems to be behind in regards to some of the ROMs I've looked at our is 5.x.x.x they use 6.x.x.x. I saw that some of the boot stacks include the "updated version" but how do you flash a boot stack? My brother started another thread asking the question as we have both reasearched quite a bit to avoid bricking out LGs.
Brother's thread ----> http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/help/how-to-flash-bootstack-t3139847

I flashed xdabbeb 3.1.2 Rom this morning and just followed the directions, first I flashed the 39a bootstack then rebooted to recovery wiped the stuff it said and flashed the Rom. So far it's running great.

Yes, its a great rom and the multitasking apps have improved over the 4.4 version. The only drawback is the battery life.
