Please help!! Bricked my Rogers P925g!

I need some help to unbrick my Rogers branded O3D P925g. I was able to root it and manually install the camera mod from erosized. Then i tried manually installing the performance pack and when i rebooted its looping at the Rogers screen. Can i use the unbrick method from the p920? Thanks again.

I had mine bricked as well and this method worked great for getting it back.
Step 1: Get the newest KDZ file for your phone/carrier. I got mine from here:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=xxxxxxx
Where xxxx is enter the IMEI of your phone which is found under the battery.
Step 2: follow the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186406\
This will bring it back from pretty much any state. Mine was not even booting up to the LG Logo and this restored it.
Good Luck.

Just fixed mine. Use LG Update Tool, Click on Customer Support and then Recovery Phone. Enter your IMEI number and it will completely wipe the phone contents and install the newly released v20c BB and software. This process took me about 20 minutes and then an additional 10 min or so to boot into the OS. Worked flawlessly with my SIM and microSD still in the phone. Didn't loose any data from my microSD either. Got 4G back as well. Note that rooted state will be removed and CWM Recovery will be replaced with Android Recovery.

Same Problem no resolution
I have the same phone and when I use those links I cannot get anything to show up no matter how i enter the information.
My phone is stuck on the lg screen and it wont boot up. could someone give me a link to LG P925G stock firmware or some method of unbricking my phone. i have't had much luck.
all because I used Rom Manager too.
I cannot even go into recovery mode is my phone totaly bricked? I need some tips.

here is the most easy and straight-forward way I discovered to unbrick or overcome any flashing error no matter what it is (it applies to lg o3d, and thrill 4G, I think it will apply to their fellows)
1-you must have drivers installed of-course
2-remove your battery
2-open your pc device manager and look at COM and PORT section
3-hold volume up button (only) and connect your mobile to pc through USB while pressing this button, and keep pressing until you see a new port has been added and installed in your COM and PORT section (about 15-20 sec), now you can release the button, be sure that port will stay apparent after releasing the button, or repeat this step (with longer press on volume up button)
4-put your battery back and don't touch your phone again
5-now start flashing by following these 2 tutorials in order:

Hey guys,

Hi opiswahn, you can try to flash rsd lite to reformat your back to stock. First download rsd lite and sbf files of your preference (I am using singapore sbf). Then open your phone while holding power button, sound up, media together. You will go into bootloader mode (black screen). Now flash rsd lite from your cpu and your phone should be alright. Hope it helps you.

thx for the reply, but RSDFlash won't let me flash... see picture

Maybe another version of RSD lite and/or try to run it in XP compatibilty mode.
I had the same situation like you in the screenshot when I installed an sbf using Windows 7 on the neighbour's PC.
But I can't remember clearly what was the key to get it working as it was in february.
Since then no more sbf ...
Milestone XT720 - CM6.3.0 RC3

WinXP did the trick, tried before running as admin or in compatiblity-mode, but nothing worked, so i tried a WinXP VMWare, and boom, it works!
*Edit*
Aw, damnit, every time rsd tries to write to the phone the VM crashes...

Try this
Go on control panel , click on system , click on andvanced system settings then on advanced tab click settings under performance then the advanced tab and click change under virtual memory, then custom size and choose it the size u want it to be ,but bare in mind not to low and not to high , keep it under 3000MB
Also I found that OR sometimes gets corrupt. Most of the time if you just re-unzip the recovery and replace all the items in the Openrecovery folder (except the Updates b/c you'll lose whatever is in there when you overwrite it) on your PC and then xfr over to SD cardyou then you can enter recovery like normal. That usually does the trick. In fact that happened to my wife's phone last night and I fixed it up just like that.
I always hate flashing sbf when I can just restore a nandroid. Not sure if it will work since you started the sbf already.

I had the same issue with RSD Lite 4.6. I found a 5.0 with no problem. But now I saw yours! How ironic.

enter moto's recovery, do "factory reset"

You need to enter bootloader mode, not the fastboot bootloader.

Stuck in boot loop after upgrading to Bravo 2.2 v1.6 by brianlee+updates0926_bravo1.6
Help! My phone is experiencing the same thing... stuck in boot loop. The operator's logo (Singapore Starhub) keep appearing again... again... and again.
I upgraded it the from dexter's rom to Bravo 2.2 v1.6 by brianlee. I've followed all instructions below but after I install the update, my phone stuck in boot loop.
Instructions
Download 1.6 from one of the links above.
Download the Update from above.
Extract the contents of the 1.6 download.
Copy the contents of the sdcard folder to the root of your sd card. (You can skip the OpenRecovery files and just copy the nandroid folder if you already have OR).
Copy the update ZIP file into /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates
Reboot into OpenRecovery
Nandroid > Restore > bravo2.2-brian
Apply Update > update-bravo1.6Mz-20110926-1328.zip
Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Factory Reset
My phone run perfectly well and after I apply this update (updates0926_bravo1.6.zip), I'm stuck in boot loop.
I've tried many ways to recover my phone, but none is successfull, including this thread. I've tried the camera button+power button and then volume up button. And this message appears on the screen: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" with phone picture and exclamation mark on the background.
RSDlite 4.9 + sbf file can't detect my phone.
Can someone help me? Can I restore my phone?
---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------
Sorry, I can recover my phone. I tried to press power button+volume up button+media button all at once and the recovery mode appeared. I applied the proper update and voila... My phone is working again.

Was the phone previously rooted with ClockWorkMod Recovery installed?
What was the last thing you did on the phone before it got to this state?
What guide did you follow to NVFlash back to stock?
Just in case i dont get back to this thread until tommrow, Try following This guide.
IMMEDIATELY after following that guide, flash This ROM.
Boot into that rom, and after its all booted up, you can shut down.
Now you should be able to go into recovery and flash any ROM you want.
DO NOT SKIP ANY STEPS!!!! if you don't flash the OTA Rom Immediately after following the first guide, you will not be able to access your internal sd card.

Hey thanks my dude it worked and I am back online.

when you plug in your phone, dont let windows choose the drivers, click the button that says you will choose what driver to use, then point it to the ENTIRE folder with the APX driver in it.

PLEASE HELP ME with galaxy S2 SHW-M250K Boot problem

Please guys, my galaxy S2 SHW-M20K (Korean) is in trouble.
I bought it from a 2nd hand shop , and it was runing Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean (rooted stock rom). I had no problem with it till today when I tried to install "CWM Recovery", After searching the web i found a post with two files that supposedly could do the task. These files are:
1. CWM_KT_M250K.tar
2. Tegrak-Kernel-Build-39-for-SHW-M250K-UE18.tar
Using Odin, I triedd the first file but it couldn't work, and the phone could not boot so i downloaded the "rooted factory firmware" and flashed the phone. Everything was ok. Later I tried the second file. Again the phone could not boot and stuck at the logo with a yellow triangle. After waiting for about 5 minutes I tried to shut it down by pressing the power button it did'nt respond. (Now this is a point that I regret), I removed the battery as a way of forcing to turn it off.
Now my phone cannot boot. It doesn't respond to power button, neither does it allow me to enter recovery mode nor download mode. But When i connect to the charger or pc, it start charging and keeps cutting off the charging frequently. But it only allows me to enter download mode when connected to pc. When I tried to flash the "rooted factory firmware", again, the flashing goes smoothly but when the phone starts rebooting it fails as if there is a power cut. Is my battery damaged? Can someone give me a guide on how to fix it?
I need your help gus, I am not an expert in the rootings and roms,
Pardon My English. It's a foreign language to me.

As u mentioned, I think that your phone has gone to a Soft Brick. I don't know much about the Korean build, so Google it to solve the Soft Brick. Try flashing the stock rom via odin but I don't recommend it since it may cause your phone to be hard bricked if not done properly.
So go to the service centre, you'll get more help there

I thank you sir for responding to this. From what you have said, I think the best decision is to take it to Samsung service center. (For I have tried to google it but I couldn't get a solution). I would also like to know if it is repairable, and about the cost, is it worth repairing or should I think of buying a new phone?
I am stranded.
