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

o ic are u still under warrenty if so u might have to take it in if not u might try flashing a rom to it theres lots of guides on here have a look

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?

Urgent Help Needed!

I think i might've bricked my phone.. It's a LG-P990. I literally bought it today with Cyangenmod and i went into the ROM whatever app and i clicked check to see if there are updates for the current ROM and it said i had to install something to be able to check. So it asked which phone i had and i selected the LGE Optimus 2x. At which point the phone downloaded it and then brought me to the home screen. My phone now is black but when i touch the screen the buttons light up. Holding the power button doesnt do anything.. please help me I think I just screwed myself over big time and i'm really upset and worried.
edit: pulled the battery out and i guess the stuff all loaded but it just shows the LG loading screen and when i tap the screen again the buttons light up. What do i do? i know i probably shouldn't haven even gone in that section at all it said some warning and i just hit ok cause i assumed that this is an optimus 2x which it is, is it not ? what happened? im so confused.. should i just update the phone with the LG support tool because it is picking it up, would that fix all of this ? i tried to boot it up and hold the power + the vol down button and got into the CWM but i dont know what to do here, should i just factory reset wipe everything and try to flash it all again, the seller told me he unlocked himself is that difficult to do?
also sorry if this in the wrong place!!
tl;dr I need a very smart android mentor to help a stupid noob (this is my first android) to help me get back to the square i just obliterated. I don't think the phone is bricked as i can access the CMW.

You could also try wiping everything via cwm,or download some custom rom cm7,miui DjangoManouche put the .zip on the external sd card and choose install from zip in cwm or sort of.The option is on the main page.

Don`t worry, this is LG, impossible to soft - brick .
I would recommend you at start to go to stock, till you do some reading and learn a little about custom roms.
So, as toxie87 already suggested (and you have the same idea ), the procedure will be something like this:
1. Download this rom
2. Put the zip on your sd card
3. Boot in cwm, do a factory reset, and then install rom from your sd card
3. You are up and running again

if you have bricked your phone then try the below method...NV flash method by homermod.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715272
else as previously replied by our members read the threads and learn about custom rom and try flashing your SPEED....

The seller has now told me it's a LG G2x, so i don't know if i should still try to put that ROM on the SD card guess i'll have to sift around a bit to find the one for the G2x unless you have that link handy too but i'm sure it won't be too hard. Yet it is nice to hear that it's not completely gone haha, jeez was i worried I lost sleep on it! Thank you

Ah, you then have T-Mobile LG G2x. It is similar, but not the same. Do not flash any file from o2x to your phone, you will do more damage then you have now!
Go to your device forum -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1114
Find there a rom that suits you and the procedure is the same .

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.

CWM & Smartflash issue on P990

Hi guys!
I'm a newbie here at XDA. Long time ago, I have formatted my Optimus 2X from GB to ICS using smart flash tool. I have done that successfully. After few months, I felt like my phone is slow to respond. Then I decided to repartition and install fresh ICS copy again. I was not 100% sure what I was doing at that time. I have used AIO tool for this. Selected option no. 4 and have selected CWM v6.0.2.5 as recovery.
Then I tried to install the new ROM using smart flash and I did not succeed. After I have messed up with this problem, I contacted "spyrosk" (the OP of AIO tool thread) and he told me to install stock ROM on this thread. Then I have downloaded the V30A ROM and copied out to the phone memory, and installed using cwm by selecting install zip from sdcard option. I have succeeded.
But now I want get my phone back to the situation where I installed ICS in first time (GB to ICS using smartflash). Because my camera isn't working, OS freezes pretty much, etc. So I tried several times using Smart flash (in AIO tool) tool as I did as same as when I update from GB to ICS. But, I'm getting an error. Time out reached, after few minutes.
Should I remove CWM before install the fresh stock ICS rom using smart flash? Please guide me through this as I am a newbie for these kind of things. All I want to do is, bring back my phone to the same situation where I upgrade from GB to ICS, as I told you at the beginning of this thread.
Please don't ignore this thread by thinking I am an epic noob at this. Guide me and I'll do exactly as you guys say. Thanks a lot for reading. A reply would be greatly appreciated. :angel:

Anyone? Please.

There is nothing to worry about, just keep trying using smartflash. After each try remove the cable then connect it back, if it still not works restart teh phone to S/W screen. If it still not works try it on an other usb port, and do everithing from the begining. If it still fails use another cable or try it on an other computer.
It usually start work for the 6th or the 7th time of trying.
No need to remove cwm or anything like that.

Thank you very much for replying this thread BitDomo. I will try some more times then. Apart from that, I have seen a way to uninstall CWM by installing some files to the device. But I did not try that since that method is for CWM v3.x.x.
I'm kinda noob at savvy android thingies for now. I will learn some more about these thingies from the start of next month. Until then, I just want to bring my phone to official ICS 4.0.3 stock ROM and use the phone as I did earlier.
Thanks again for your kind reply to this thread bro. Really appreciate. I'll try some more times and will post the results. Dear android experts, any other solutions for this? Please make a post if you have a suggestion. Peace.. :highfive:

Guys I have tried over 10 times to flash to ICS 4.0.4 using Smartflash. But everytime I end up with same error. Then I tried Nvflash. But my device showed me a black screen after the process completed. Everything working correctly but I couldn't see anything on my LCD, its just a black screen with the light. So, I used full brick repair for P990 here at xda.
Now I have CWM v6.0.2.5 as recovery and CyanogenMod 10-20131105-UNOFFICIAL-p990 in my phone. Can someone please explain me how to bring this phone back to official ICS 4.0.4? I tried smartflash right now and device shows a black LCD screen. Smartflash picks up the device but process stops in few seconds. I have searched for revert back to stock ICS from CM, but I did not get a descriptive enough information for this. Please write atleast a brief reply if you know the procedure. Thank you very much. :good:

So doing this doesn't work? Or do you not want to return it to out of the box stock?

If you didn't backup your EFS your best bet is to just warranty the phone with verizon

The OP stated they're having difficulty going back to stock. That said, if they can get back to stock, I would take it back to VZW, too.

I've never had to take a phone back (knock on wood) but they'd be able to see that he rooted and what not. So kind of a general question, would it be best to delete some system file so the phone wouldn't boot at all? That way he could say it won't turn on and they (in theory) can't see the root?

OP would need to TOT back and then return it. If he TOTs it will wipe it completely and reset the "Rooted" check in Recovery. OP... with no EFS backup you have a wifi only tablet now. There is no way to save your phone at all. TOT back to stock and take it in for warranty.

The other option is to send it to LG instead of verizon. Another user awhile back wiped his efs without a backup and he couldn't get to stock, so he sent it to LG and they replaced it. It's a better option than Verizon, unless you can get to stock unrooted.

isnt the VS980 supposed to be unlocked for GSM use ?
I am in India at the moment...i have 3 Verizon G2 phones...SIM cards work fine on 2 of them...On the third one...it does not detect the mobile network...sim is detected ,coz it gives no alert...and when i search for networks...the networks are shown...it just doesnt connect to the network...the sim cards work fine in other phones...in the other G2 phones and in a HTC DROID DNA...so its not the sim at fault....
Have tried multiple SIM cards from Vodafone/Loop Mobile/Airtel...none of them work on this particular phone..
When i search for networks...im getting networks...but cant connect to them...most times it shows error while searching for network...
What can be the problem ?

I actually did this about 6 months ago. Called LG and they told me that if they find any indication that I modified the phone in any way, I would be charged $300. So I screwed the phone up so bad that it wouldn't get past a black screen that said "null". Never got charged
