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?

Use adb or terminal emulator and delete a few partitions... that ought to do the trick.

CWM 5.0.2.8 Issues (Vibrate)

Hello everyone!
I know this issue has been discussed many times in many forums, but no-one can find a final solution to this problem.
I have a LG P990 bought in Portugal, and I installed CWM 5.0.2.8 with internal and external SD support.
My problem is everytime I want to flash something on my phone, I reboot into recovery mode, and when I enter CWM, my phone vibrates like a dildo. I tried several versions of CWM, and the problem persists.
You might say "you can always use Paul's version from Modaco"... yeah, I could. But since I use an external SD card, that is not a viable solution to my problem.
The strange thing is, this doesn't happen on all P990 devices...

I'm not sure about the vibration issue you're having...
but other CWMs should be able to access external SD as well. AFAIK, older versions of CWM couldn't access internal SD, but all could access external SD.
And for what it's worth, I use 5.0.2.7 and it can access both internal and external.

Right, Paul's @Modaco version (4.0.0.5) can only access one of them... If you don't have an external SD, CWM will mount the internal one, but if you have an external SD, CWM wouldn't recognize the internal.
That's the version I use, and the only one that won't make my phone vibrate like a dildo.
No matter how I install CWM, either using ROM Manager, or NVflash or whatever, the result is always the same... The phone vibrates...

I may be wrong, but it seems that temasek is the one who compiled the first p990-compatible CWM 5.0.2.8 back in January.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/22319-cm7-discussion-of-nightlies/page__st__1720#entry289942
Is that the same one you are using? If not, try his. If yes, maybe you can ask him?
Or maybe Rusty
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27176594&postcount=695

I'll try temasek's version. I had the vibration problems with Rusty's compilation. I'll take a look and get back to you.

Tried temasek's version of CWM. Has the same vibrating issue... reverting back to Paul's version.

Sorry to hear that. This is real strange.
You do have a p990 o2x and not a su660 o2x, right? The only thing else I can think of is the slight difference in hardware between phones...
Or one other thing we could try is looking at the command lines for Paul's cwm and compare to temasek/rusty's. Can you send me a link for paul's?
EDIT: Never mind. I found it. I'll let you know if I see anything....

I'm pretty sure it's a O2x, which goes by the name LG Maximo 2x.
Here's Paul's version of CWM:
http://www.modaco.com/topic/335479-29-jun-4005-clockworkmod-recovery-for-the-lg-optimus-2x/

sorry korgndm, but I dont' have any good news.
I had trouble unpacking the .img files. I tried to use bsdiff to see what might be different between the two cwms (apart from the internal/external support) but was not successful.
Logically, if it worked without vibration with paul's, then it's not hardware issue. it's just a matter of coding/compiling the recovery img properly. but now, it's beyond my abilities...

I also considered that it could be a baseband issue. I'm using V20Q with stock rom, and never used anything else.
I'm planning on flashing my phone today with another BB, maybe 20s or 21y, then installing CWM again using the bat files, not using ROM Manager, and see what happens.

ok. kindly report back with how it goes when you get a chance, because i remember reading somewhere that changing BB/RIL didn't help with this. But wish you better luck with your phone!

All hope is lost

No luck flashing with another BB, or another version of CWM. The "dildo sindrome" persists... S**T!
EDIT: Found a solution to the problem:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508824

Congrats on finding the solution! So your o2x is su660 after all?
Do you have four or three buttons in the bottom?
If it is three, you have a su660 and that's what I was asking before.
Sent from my LG-SU660 using xda premium

I definitely have four buttons on the bottom. I double checked the label under the battery and it says "LG P990 Made in Korea".
I DO have a small problem with this CWM version, though... It won't mount the internal storage, neither will it mount USB. In another words, it will only recognize my external SD (which, BTW, is a piece of crap!), and if I want to copy a file to it, I have to either boot the phone normally and use a file manager, or remove the SD card and pop it in my laptop.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried adb while in Recovery mode?
If you can connect that way, maybe you can manually mount through shell.
Sent from my LG-SU660 using xda premium

I must confess I'm new to this "world", and I really don't have many computing or programming skills, but I suppose you're talking about using a terminal / terminal emulator... If you could kindly explain the procedure, I would appreciate it.

Yes I was talking about using the terminal. I will have to look for the instructions, written by much smarter and more knowledgeable people than me.
In the mean time, this excellent post with guides may be helpful.

And if usb connection doesnt work for whatever reason and all you want to do is copy files to the phone, perhaps this tip from xda TV might help too :

The example in the video is with a Ubuntu machine, but you can follow the same steps for using PC with Putty and WinSCP.

(Solved) LG korean update 4.0 su660 on a p990=Disaster

I have made a mistake at the middle of the night, and its not being with the wrong girl. It was trying to flash the korean android 4.0 version to my p990 with smartflash tool which i now know is not the same phone as the su660 in korea. but i was so desperate to get android 4.0 to my phone so I used the LG-P970 ROM COVERTER Automatic converter. I now know that that is only for the lg uptimus black, but did not see that when i downloaded it. Then i converted the kdz file to bin files and used smart-flash tools to force install it. Everything went well except when i pushed the power botten after installation, it stooped at the beautiful LG logo and i cant get in to the recovery mode. Then i thought i could save this by use of the nvflash program witch after i understand should re-partition my phone again. The drivers for this nvflash program i installed like ages ago cause I've been using it so many times, so i know they work. But NO! it could not safe my precious piece of hardware, i get the error code: failed executing command 14 Nv-Error 0x12000, Command failure partition download failed. So i guess i have a totally messed up partition table. Is there even anything remotely i can do about this or is this phone forever gone?

Well, you FAILED like a boss.
P990 is not a SU660 & vice-versa

You were too desperate, 4.0 ain't that good to risk your phone. If other devs haven't been able without source to do much what makes you think you could of!
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

I don't think you'll have a permanently bricked phone, based on what i've read on these forums the o2x is basically unbrickable. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to the o2x though, so don't quote me on that.
Something that I have seen mentioned for similar issues is NVflash. Again, I have no idea, but search the forum for that and give it a shot...
Good luck!
EDIT: oh oops, didn't read all the way, you said you tried NVFlash. Sorry, I have no idea what to do then...

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.
BUMP. Can someone please give me an advice? I'm kinda disappointed right now.

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:

Please help
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:
