[Q] Brick LG revolution, soft brick - LG Revolution

Hello all. I have an LG Revolution which was rooted on 2.2
I installed ROM manager and flashed wrong phone on accident. So when I went to reboot it stays stuck at LG Boot screen. I have tried holding Power and Volume down to hard reset, still boot freezes. I have downloaded LGNPST and the drivers. I put into download mode but only 1 out of the three drivers are ready to use. The two LGE CDMA USB are not installed properly. The USB Composite device is ok. Now when I open the LGNPST, my device does not populate. I have been trying to install other LG drivers but no go. What else can I do? I have searched the threads I could before posting, but none seem to address my particular situation.

[Q] HELP--Stuck On LG Boot Logo

I need help, my phone is stuck on the LG screen at boot, when I reboot to attempt getting into CWM i get the screen that says "are you sure you want to do a factory reset...." When I do so and factory wipe it goes back to the LG boot screen and doesn't go into Clockwork Recovery. Tried many times but no luck. I also tried connecting it to my pc and getting the LGNPST program but it doesn't see or recognize my phone as there is no way for me to connect it to USB Mass Storage.
Could I have really bricked my phone? I have screwed it up before but always able to get into CWM and turn on USB Mass storage, now I cant even do that. Any Help Please!!!
OOPS sorry i somehow posted this twice!!!
Would help if you posted what you've done to the phone. Since you only said what the problem is not what you did to it.
Hey thanks for replying. Ok here it is. I downloaded Rom Manager from the market that I bought previously for an HTC i had and from there somehow flashed a ROM and the rest is history. Stuck on LG
I downloaded ROM Manger since I got rid of it awhile ago since it didn't work and I have no idea how you could of flashed a rom through it since it'll just say you have to have clockworkmod on your phone unless you picked a different model like the esteem which is this phone but different model which would probably mess up the phone. But after you flashed the rom did anything else happen? Like did the phone work or just reboot and stay at Lg logo?
You know it was late last night and you just reminded me that I did use the Esteem ROM, and after that all it did was rebooted and stayed at the LG Screen, And whenever I try to get into recovery all it does is verify if i want to reset to factory and wipe data, then back to LG. I cant get any of my computers to recognize it on either XP or Win7...Im sorry I didnt say that my phone was rooted and running GingerVOlt1.3 with bk over clock kernel as well
Hmm try the Irc channel see if the people there have answers. http://webchat.freenode.net/ Channel: #lgrevolution
thanks i did that last night but im not sure how to actually use the IRC i tried clicking on several names and ask for help but no one responded. I appreciate your time though.
It's a normal chatbox pretty much you talk to everybody unless you click a name just say you have a problem and list what happened and everything somebody should be able to help you.
ok cool thanks im actually trying it now

Beamer,
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately this does not work either. I have tried holding the power button and volume down button several times all it does is take me to the factory wipe screen and after confirming just reboots back to the LG screen and stays there. I dont know what else to try. I have tried on my new Win7 X64 laptop and also on an XP desktop that always works but non of them will "see" my phone as a storage device or anything. Any suggestions???

UPDATE!!!
Wow, I thought I would give it one last chance by trying to get it in download mode on my XP Desktop and holly cow, it actually worked and installed the drivers, however when I start the LGNPST it goes to the EMERGENCY function and makes me install a phonebook recovery but fails. I dont know what do do or where to get the "PhoneBook" file in question. Any ideas???

Alright, emergency mode is:
1) Pull battery
2) Put battery back in
3) Press and hold volume up
4) Press and hold power button while continuing to hold the volume up button
5) Hold through splash screen
6) Should now be in download mode

Mt,
Want to say thanks for all the work you've done and continue to do with the Revo. Its the only saving grace we have. Maybe you could help me out with this. I am stuck on the LGNPST when I put my phone in Download mode, LGNPST see's it as an "unknown" and only allows me to do a Phonebook Programing under the Emergency Tab, but when I choose the only Bin File and Only *csv. file it displays as error and stops. Im not sure as to what it wants me to do or what its trying to do. In the past I was able to just flash the VS910Ztot and be all done but now I cant even get that option. Do you have any Idea what I need to do??? Please any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hey I had a similar issue with this and the download mode and everything except I was able to get into recovery but it would reboot to fast to restore a full nand backup and I couldn't get the .dll to work either what I ended up doing and it fixed it was booting into recovery going into backups and restore then advanced restore and had enough time in recovery to restore just the boot so I did that next thing I knew the phone rebooted automagically like it had been doing but this time it went past the lg and into the gingervolt boot animation then I got a black screen so I manually booted into recovery did the same steps except this time I was able to advanced restore the system and it rebooted again when it booted up I had a black screen so I boot back into recovery and was finally able to restore a full back up never got an auto reboot so I booted up and the phone worked fine.

No exploit will work... LG fixed that.. damn lg
Anyways why did not you search before, there are a no of threads regarding rooting.
Use cwm injection method and flash your rom again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512203
By the way you should try other custom roms here as well rather than stock.

First of all, since you're new to this board please read the Welcome To The LG Optimus Black Section..... (Please Read If You're New)
Also, read the [HOW TO]The Big N00B how-to! since it will answer most of your questions.
Second, if you would have searched you would have found your answer already, but i'll help you (i'm in a good mood today too ).
You can find an already rooted v20E firmware HERE.
Just follow the steps from THIS post but instead of using the V20B firmware files use the ones from the V20E firmware (i've already given the link to the V20E above).
Good luck and happy modding

Smartflashtool has stopped working
Hi, my OB also has v20E firmware installed by default. I 've tried to root the phone by using smartflashtool method that has already been described above. However, whenever I tried to root my device, it always ended up in failures. The smartflashtool program either showed "Timeout error is occurred" (sometimes) up or "Smartflashtool MFC has stopped working" (most of the times) at various points in the rooting progress
I used all of the programs mentioned on the posts above but still no luck
- Installed LGSmartPhone_ModemlinkDUNDrive_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0

Hi, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten to the point where the phone was rooted successfully (100%), whenever I tried to run B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe, it always ended up in error. What did I do wrong? I've used the appropriate files and installer, haven't I? Now, I'm totally freaked out because my phone has run out of battery and doesn't show any sign of charging even though I've connected the charger
Oh by the way, I've already used the patch rom for V20e, but still no avail and already tried running the program with admin rights

great, lg emergency recovery tool tells me this model is not supported for upgrading =.=
Similar problem, I was on Huexs´s 6.4, was rooted, recovery was working, then I flashed v30d by tantrums, was using it without problems, then some problems with sd card, from that point I am not able to run recovery, so I tried to flash patched v20 with Smartflash, but when it goes to rebooting, it always stay in bootloop. Only way for me is flash v30b, then root it with Unlockroot, but thats all, I can normaly use phone rooted, but I am not able to push to phone recovery image, so I can not flash any zip file ( like new kernels. etc.).
Managed to flash V30b
i managd to flash the v30b by the kdz updater but... Everything was working normally. I shut off the phone so i can go to sleep and i put it to charge. the picture i got is the lg logo with a white faint line down the bottom of the screen again. I unplug the charger and remove the battery. The next morning it worked perfectly again for aprox. 9 hours, that i was at school. Then i try texting my gf and the pictures below show what happened... WTH? Any help would be deeply appreciated :-/

@robusto try flashing v30B. then root your OB and flash TWRP recovery. You can do it like this:
1. Install goomanager
2. Open goomanager and provide root permision
3. Hit menu and choose 'Install OpenRecovery'.
Now you have TWRP Recovery and you should be able to flash any .zip file.
It worked for me.
(or you can get twrp recovery just by pushing the twrp recovery image file using terminal emulator).
Good luck!

I am now on stock V30B Europe, rooted by unlockroot, uninstalled garbage and apps, whitch I dont need, using Holo launcher and LMT and am satisfied, bechmark with antutu 3100. Only I am not able change kernel, what could be phone speed up, but nevermid. I can live with it. Only can be good to convert some kernel.zip to same file, whitch can be flashed with kdz flasher or smartflashtool. Anyway thanks for ideas.

HeinekenAmstel, try to left out of phone the battery for one day, then try to flash kdz v30b for your country from here http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1, but connect phone to PC without battery in. And may be is good to do it on PC with WIN XP. For me this is working better then on PC with WIN7. Good luck.

[Q] Possibly Unbrickable - UNBRICKED! (Solved)

[Q] Possibly Unbrickable
I just recently rooted my LG Thrill 4G with ICS 4.0.4.
When I was trying to install Clockwork Mode Recovery I used a program that had two options. (Looking for the program name now.)
It had "Install" and "Recovery Install" The recovery install was for another phone I believe. I accidentally clicked the latter. Now I start my phone
and I see the LG logo for 1 second before reboot. It's not even enough time to get to adb etc. Is there anything I can do to unbrick it? A hardware unbrick or do I have to send it away and get a new phone?
Thanks.
I believe I was using LGP920_CWM_5.8.1.5_Flasher when it happened if that's of any help.

Ok so I installed the OMAP driver amd started start_fastboot.bat
With holding down the VOL+ Windows makes the sound of a device connecting and doesn't do the disconnecting sound.
Which is good. Without holding the VOL+ it plays the connecting and then 3 low beeps (Unrecognized Device).
But here's the thing. I can't find the OMAP drive in the device manager when I hold VOL+. And the program says it's
waiting for the OMAP device. Any ideas from here?
Here's my problem.
When I start my phone I see the LG Logo for 1 second before it shuts down. I can't access the factory reset or download mode.
My computer doesn't have enough time to connect to the waiting for OMAP device on the fastboot program.
Thanks for your help. It's been very quiet in here.
OMG!
OMG I fixed it! WIth your help!
Though I didn't use the guide, it did provide me with the key piece of information I needed!
Here's how I did it:
1. Install OMAP Drivers.
2. Hold down the VOL+ button and plug in the USB. The OMAP driver doesn't need to appear in the device manager. Just the COM Port.
3. Let the LG Mobile Support tool reinstall the firmware.
And that's it!
Thanks a million! :laugh:
Now just to be sure I need to test my phone calls etc!
You're welcome

[Q] I think some help is needed in urgency and wisdom

Hi everyone
After a lot of reading i decided to install a ROM. Now i was able to try to but none of them worked, so i ve been trying now for 3 days. I think i did it all as stated in this forums, it launched but never go to really open the OS, used to get stuck at the motorola or nexus logos or what ever logo from the different ROMs i downloaded.
I was able to go back to the original ROM but today im not being able to do so...
What can i do? Im at recovery and im able to restore boot but at system it says:Error while restoring /system!
I had it backedup at pc so i have also removed the one at sd card and tried with the one from PC.
What can i do (that doesnt involve getting another phone)
You can try RSDLite to flash back stock ROM just be careful and flash right ROM, otherwise you can brick your phone. You can't flash custom ROMs with RSD.

Boot the phone into bootloader/fastboot?
You have an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery installed? I assume you have both since you were trying to install custom ROMs.
I have tried to the fastboot... im trying AP fastboot and theres where i am stuck right now.
Yes custome recovery and unlocked bootloader there. I had the phone moved to another couple of roms but the never loaded correctly so i went back to my original ROM, i tried a few other ROMs and none worked so this time i try to go back but it doesnt come back anymore... :laugh:
Try downloading PhilzAdvanced CWM Recovery. It is based off the latest CWM and should be able to flash your backups or ROMS. Maybe not your backups unless you made them with a CWM based recovery, but it should get you booted up.

1. Read the Myth Tools OP
2. Download Myth Tools
3. Download Philz CWM
4. Download a stock fastboot
5. Place the fastboot zip and the extracted recovery/cwm.img in their respected folders
6. Run Myth's executable and follow the instructions
7. If that doesn't work then read the faqs here and in the RAZR HD forums, all your questions have been answered already.
Still with same issue...
Phone is not recognized by the computer (tried 3 different laptops)
Cannot download the Drivers as its an automated process that begins when you connect the phone...
Does anyone knows an alternative to install AHD drivers ?

Again, my main issue device not detected by pc... so i cant download drivers using automatic tools that detects the phone because again phone is not detected and mythtools goes straight to the motorola device manager which needs a phone connected to act... so in a very bad circle i am... and i would try to use someone else phone but here in Costa Rica i know of noone else with a Motorola phone... everyone thinks it no longer exists... and i havent found a way to download the specific drivers for my specific device in a way it doesnt require to be connected.
You can boot into recovery? If so download the latest philztouch cwm recovery, put it on your sd card, and flash it from recovery. Then flash the ROM you want.

Nice i managed to flash the philztouch recovery... the damn phone doesn't want to accept any ROM... keeps aborting them. So far thanks a lot... ill read like crazy today again and ill ask for help if failure salutes me again!
:highfive:
If you made a backup of your stock after rooting try flashing that and then hooking your phone up to your pc

It finally works
It works... i think somehow the recovery stopped working at some point... now with Philz phone was recognized by pc and i was able to use Myth tools to do the job. I think this will be my last Motorola...
Things to highlight:
1 i did read a lot before doing anything, still somehow screwed up, did read lots before asking here, still needed to ask... got answers, still needed to ask more... it was fun as everyone at work said: " its bricked fool buy a new one and stop playing to be good at something" but hell yeah its fixed!
2 i will try again to install another rom, i wont give up damn it!
3 i might begin with my wife Note 1, its old so its ok to brick it ha ha ha
4 damn it guys you are cool... wish i were 10% of you guys!
5 I think instead of all those different options out there we should recommend only to use the myth tools, its a complete package and its easy to use even with examples for newbies like me.
Again thanks and questions on friday after i brick it again e he he he...
The other stuff is there so you can understand what the automated stuff is actually doing.

Ok so i have started the process again. I cant tell what i am doing wrong. I have flashed 2 different roms and none worked... its like im missing something.
I root the device, unlock bootloader... set the recovery with cwm... flash the rom... and it goes to moto logo and then black screen... am i missing something?
I did the exact same for the stock rom and it did work... also i did it all exactly the same using now myth tools... so any ideas? Should i leave the phone alone because its just simply not going to work or am i missing anything?
