I installed the root required app LCD density changer by beansoft... tried permanently changing my lcd density (resolution) to 200, looked back at phone several minutes later and it was stuck on the at&t logo. I didn't do a backup like they said, in case anything goes wrong (didn't expect anything to go wrong.........). Now, everytime I try to boot my phone, i get stuck at the At&t logo screen (NOT infinite loop... just frozen logo). I have tried factory reset multiple times... but ofcourse that didn't work because that doesn't affect system preferences ( like the density/resolution).
Beansoft suggests this to fix the issue... but i can't get it to work

How can i get that file onto my phone's memory? My phone wont even turn on. I tried putting it on the microsd card, but the file doesnt show up in recovery.
Someone please help me... I just want my phone working again... By whatever means... Flashing a new rom, the update.zip method by beansoft... idk ... just want it working...
HELP :'(
P.S. I dunno how to work adb... every time i try and use it, i get the "device not found" thing... ( i have the drivers installed)... So if that's how I have to fix my phone... PLEASE be very descriptive in instructions....

the 200 dpi setting does not work on the Thrill, which is why you are stuck in "bootloop"

Well looks like you're kinda screwed since you don't have clockwork installed, I'm not sure if you can install a new ROM... but have you tried EVERYTHING in android recovery?
If you don't know how to get to recovery... it's Hold down volume key + 3d + power, until it vibrates then use arrow keys to move around and 3d to select if you dont have clockwork...

Do you havet the emergency mode like most LG smartphones?Here is how you check pull out the battery and the plug it in(so your phone turns off) and then hold down the volume up +voulume down and power button if it worked you should see a yellow screen and a "Emergency mode!!" title.Then google for a kdz update tool and a kdz firmware for YOUR phone.You will also need the LG mobile united drivers.If you are on windows go to control panel and disable the lg modem.Then connect your phone(in emergency mode) to the computer open the update tool then click on select KDZ and navigate to your KDZ then in phone mode select emergency_something iys the only one.Than click flash KDZ and after about 5min your phone should reboot and it wilk work.Its importiant to note that you will lose everything on your phones memory its like you flash a rom you start out fresh you also loose root.Good luck!

Im having the same problem as the person before me, but my phone is stuck on the lg logo screen. My phone is rooted and I do believe I have installed clockworkmod when root manager asked me to. My phone froze on me while going through the root manager app, when I tried formatting it through the reboot screen I ended up with E: can't mount CACHE:recovery/ command, E: can't mount CACHE:recovery/log, and E: can't open CACHE:recovery/log.
I've tried following instuctions from this site: http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-lg-thrill-4g-to-android-2-3-gingerbread.html
Until the last one cause i don't have an option to instal stuff from my sd card

but again I have no option of the sd card or running abd commands
only options i have are:

wipe cache partition
wipe cache partition and package recovery

You don't have clockwork then.That is your stock recovery.I had this problem too.I flashed the wrong recovery and i got stuck on the LG logo.I fixed it using fastboot flasher idk is it the same combination but on my phone it is volume up+call+power button.Uf it is correct you should see a sign saying fastboot mode udc_start or something like that then use the fastboot flasher to flash a recovery image for your phone.After the flash is complete reboot your phone but first do a NORMAL boot so you can see if the problem is solved.If it worked then you can safely boot into recovery.

Thank you for your support guys, but as it was to difficult, I just got a new one from at&t
I am in similar situation but I am rooted AND I have CWM on my phone. I can boot into recovery just fine and install from sd card and all that jazz but when I try to boot normally I don't get past the LG logo. It just hangs there forever. Do I just have to get a flashable ROM onto the SD card and boot into recovery and flash??
I have already tried wiping data, cache and dalvik to no avail.
Any suggestions??

I rooted phone, everything fine. I flashed CWM, everything fine. When I rebooted system from CWM then phone booted but hung at the LG logo. Now only thing I can do is boot into recovery or boot to the LG logo for hours... Don't even know how this could have happened as I haven't flashed anything, just root and CWM...
I'm using cm-10-20120726
Last night, for no apparent reason, my phone turned off and didn't want to come back on again. I didn't change anything, plug it into anything, or do anything fancy, it just turned itself off and now it's stuck in a boot loop.
I've tried connecting it to ADB but it seems to not be able to access the device. Windows detects it differently on 2 separate windows machines that I have, and I'm not sure how my Ubuntu OS detects it, but it doesn't seem to detect it at all.
It boots into download mode okay, but I can't get it into recovery.
So, my difficulty right now is I don't know to access it in any way, and I can't take it to a repair store.
Hey
Have you tried installing its drivers..?( you can from any of the links below)

Yeah, great I can detect the device in heimdall now.
Code:

returns "Device detected" now.
I've managed to install the CWM Recovery v2.5.1.0 SpeedMod Kernel.
Would it be possible to stop the boot loop without flashing the ROM? I could do that but I think there are some phone calls I've had recently that I'd like to get the number from and I'm pretty sure flashing the ROM would remove my call history.
go to download mode and flash via odin semaphore kernel ... recovery work
First thank you for all the wonderful work there to help us make the best out of this phone.
Yesterday, I tried to install the CM10 ROM (cm-10-20121126-UNOFFICIAL-ancora_tmo) but encountered a serious problem. Since I flashed a custom ROM last time in Aug., I haven't updated the recovery (CWM-base Recovery v5.5.0.4b). When I booted into the recovery, I found it lost all its functionality. To be specific, any selection on menu options (reboot system now, ROMwipe, wipe cache, etc.) yielded no result but a screen with a circling arrow covered by a hat. After that only the power button worked and it would simply bring you back to the main menu. I tried to communicate with the phone in ADB mode and it worked (by that I mean I can reboot it from windows command shell: adb reboot recovery). Now I have no way to update the recovery and install new ROM from there.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
If you can communicate via windows then install Odin and flash from it. Full instructions is on the wiki page

I'd followed the instruction and found the Odin rebooted to the exact recovery! There it showed a few lines like:
Galaxy Exhibit CWM-based Recovery v5.5.0.4b
Finding update package ...
Opening update package ...
Verifying update package ...
E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Now the phone can not boot into the original ROM.
When booted into recovery use volume keys to navigate in cwm. Also retry to download the ROM and try cwm before Odin.
Odin is on computer and phone is hooked via USB cable. It cannot boot into cwm if followed Odin. You ha e to download Odin and drivers for cell to be recognized.
Do a YouTube search for Odin and watch the vid it will show you. Be it noted that cell will need to be set into download mode and USB enabled.

Yes, I used the home capacitive to select those options on the main menu. No matter what I choose, however, the power button can get me the circling arrow with a hat. Another push on the button, you are back on the main menu.
You are deffeinitly booted into cwm so I suspect from the install error that the signature verification is what's failing. Try another ROM or redownload and try again

I've redownloaded the uvlg3.odin.zip package and checked its MD5. Everything is OK. Then followed the instruction on the Wiki page, but ended on the same CWM recovery screen with the same error message.
The problem is: it seems like the phone boots successfully into the recovery, but it only shows the main menu with no option functioning (like I described before).
Has anyone read about similar problem anywhere before?

Are you running Odin with your phone in Download mode? Like they said, Odin shouldn't re/boot into recovery automatically.
Also make sure the auto reboot option in odin is cleared.

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!

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.
I have a LG Thrill that is stock ICS. If I boot the phone and check all the buttons the buttons work, however when I try to boot into recovery the phone just boots or turns off. I hold the 3d and volume down button then push the power button until a vibration and lg logo then release the power button. I've tried to go thru adb to reboot into recovery but I cannot see the device in adb.
Have you actually installed cwm recovery?

No, I'd love to be able to install CMW or TWRP but the guides I have found all say that I need to be able to boot into recovery.
You can install CWM (or TWRP) by flashing it with Fastboot, but you will need to place a recovery image file named "cwm.img" in the CWM folder in the Fastboot pack. Some available packs (check the Optimus 3D dev section, same device, Euro flavor) have the image files already included, I think.
The method I have mostly used is to flash xbsall's rooted ICS with recovery.

His rooted ICS uses a type of recovery that is in system partition (not recovery partition). So if you want that, or you do not want to flash your device, use Fastboot (or one of the customized variants)
First, thanks for the help. I now have superuser available and couldn't be happier. The reason I decided to do this was that I couldn't get the wifi to switch on and even with the super user access it won't. Should I assume that this is a problem with the phone or is this something that would work if I were to roll back to gingerbread?
It's most likely a problem with the ROM/kernel you're using. I'd switch to another.

I can't say thanks enough for holding my hand so far. Is there a good guide that you would recommend for me to look at. Some of the ones I've viewed here have different information for each of them. Is the reason that thus phone is so different from what I'm used to due to the omap processor?

I had the wifi problem a while back; it was due to me installing a custom ROM without doing required wipes in recovery before installing it. Not sure how you got to ICS, but if you follow the guide I linked above it should solve your problem. You don't have to install the custom ROM if you don't want. Just stop after installing rooted ICS. Be advised that driver install for pc is fiddly, hence the detailed install instructions.
Can anyonne throw me a line here. When I install the omap drivers for the phone (step f4.1-4.5) the phone still keeps disappearing from the device drivers. Even disconnecting and reconnecting with the volume up button pressed isn't helping. Any ideas? I've tried uninstalling all of the drivers, using system restore to roll back, different cables. It used to work, now it doesn't any ideas?
If you mean the way it keeps blinking on and off, be ready with the mouse. Watch for when it appears and quickly right click on it, you kind of have to catch it. Then point it to the driver in the Fastboot folder (not the one in the omap4flash installer folder) as described. Once that is done you unplug phone, then replug, volume up, and let the two LG drivers install. All LG stuff on pc should be uninstalled and pc rebooted before beginning with all this. Also, some antivirus software can mistake the driver as being malicious and delete it when unraring the Fastboot folder, without it notifying you. And if you have a custom bootloader on your phone you may need to skip running omap4flash installer; they seem to not agree somehow.
