I did not see any thread for this so opening a new one so its easy to find.
I rooted my phone using gingerbreak and like a wiseazz, loaded a custom recovery image of "recovery-RA-GNM-thunderg-1.2". Although the costom recovery loaded fine, I am stuck with a phone which has only blue and green colors. I loaded one of the custom 2.3 ROMs by Andy and it loaded fine, but still the graphic display is all messed up, only green an blue and some other tinges. When I look at the About phone I see that it says the model number as LG P500 , although mine is LG P506. Any help people??
My wife will kill me. Its her phone!!
why would you flash a P500 ROM to a P506 ? did you make a backup ?
I made a backup of the ROM, but I did not backup the recovery.img.
Can I try NAND restore of the old ROM. I have my doubts if that would work, because as soon as I put the custom recovery in it. It started getting messy colors. But I will try. If any one else has any pointers please let me know.
Also, I ready in one of these posts that Thrive and Phoenix are just variants of Optimus One, architecturally same. Bad decision
Ok. An update. I did a Nandroid backup and I have the ROM which came with the phone. It sucks. But I guess I will have to wait till one of the brainys in here come up with a good "Custom Recovery" and "Custom ROM" for LG Thrive.
I have a LG Optimus T and the LG p500 roms work fine with no problems. I would of expected the same for the att version. I guess you have to wait for one that supports it.

More bad news. I thought if I can mix and match boot.img of LG506 with the system.img of P500, I can get away by loading the Custom ROM.
Bad Bad Bad decision. Right now, its in a bricked stage. Basically stuck in something called..fastBoot udc_start()...
Its not getting to recovery mode whatever I do. I wanted to get to recovery so I can restore NAND backup. I can even get to adb so I can start in recovery....
Somebody help please
Can anyone help me. I tried all possible routes to unbrick my phone. It keeps getting wosre and worse. Right now its stuck in "Emergency Mode". I have the NAND backup file with system.img and boot.img, but cant do anything with it since no ADP or customer recovery. I tried to do a KDZ update, but I think i need the v11e_00.kdz file for P506. Can anyone give me some pointers to recver my phone.
I have a thrive as well and I get the weird blue green screen using the unofficial cm7 rom from the optimus dev section. Luckily I back up the phone with rom manager first so now im back to where I started.
edit: Well after your post I decided to try it again... mistake. Now im stuck at the cm7 logo and im not really sure how to fix it...
edit 2: cant load recovery either... ****
I have tried out the custom roms and i get the strange color problem too. It's strange how the cell phone board is P500 but the model is P506. The phone must be different somehow hardware wise. Hmm....
Ok. An update.
I bricked my phone trying to experiment. I sent it out to LG repair and they put in the stock ROM and sent back. I will not be continuing my experiments again
Can any big hearted rooters help the LG thrive owners please..
Do experiments but cautiously

I have a similar problem with my phone now. I flashed rom and now my phone gets stuck on boot screen. I can get to recovery. But my backups not there for sum reason.
Edit: I found what was supposed to be tha stock rom for my phone but didnt work. Gets stuck after lg screen goes away. It will go to recovery. Does anyone have a copy of a nand
Backup for a P506 thrive?
I've managed to get myself in the same situation would you happen to recall the LG number you called or have a lead on who I can contact at LG. I will continue to search also. Thanks in advance.
Ok wow. You need to go to WWW.androidcentral.com once there go to the Phoenix/ thrive thread. We have a custom kernel made by joban to run the p500 roms without the color issue. Also have how to threads for rooting, CWM, and flashing.
Running oxygen v1.1 w/ joban kernel,cwm on my LG Phoenix. And its awesome. Fast, great battery
Don't forget to hit the thanks button!
Sorry that it took me forever to get back to this, but just one question. Are the kernels for the Phoenix and Thrive exactly the same?
No issues that i can recall being specific to the kernel.
Question: I have rooted the phone and installed ROM Manager. Set up Rom Manager as Optimus One. Here is the issue: I am able to reboot normally and keep root. But when I select to reboot into recovery from ROM Manager, the phone does a default setup and I'm back to factory default. When I try to get into recovery by using the PWR+Home+Vol up (and vol down at times), I get into fastboot with "udc_start()". Which I'm guessing is normal. What am I missing to get into recovery?
Thanks.
Assuming you have a thrive. You may want to check this out.

There appears to be a hickup with thrive and CWM.

my lg thrive come on and immediately goes into emergency mode. i have been searching for about two weeks for anything that will help me in xda forums, and youtube and phandroid. i cant find anything that conclusively brings the phone out of emergency mode. can anyone direct me to a program or forum that might be of assistance?
need more info. are you on stock unrooted, just rooted, or rooted with custom recovery and rom?
what were you doing when this happened?
^^^^need to know^^^^^^^^^
try this and let me know what you get. hold at same time Home+vol down+power.
I am new at this but have followed a few treads when tried to upgrade the rom on my defy to 2.2 from official motorola and the phone went dead. The only thing that worked was jrden 97.21.51 sbf when I flashed it using the rsdlite 5.3 the phone worked but i got a question mark? over the battery and it wont charge. So i used a mcgyver trick and the phone works again but with question mark on battery and not able to flash or upgrade any other rom. when i tried the recovery methode and tried to install cm7 or cm9 i get balck screen or only motorola logo. I rooted the phone using super one click and tried to use abf depacker without any sucess. can anyone give me a detail step by step guide how to get out of the loop with jerdn 97.21.51 sbf? Thanks it seems that many guys are having battery and loop problems.
I have a 4G xoom that I am trying to return to stock. I have the stock images from Motorola and I am experienced in flashing so normally this would be a simple process for me, But I absolutely can not get past the 0x120000 error. I am using a Motorola cable (Not the one that comes with Xoom, But I don't have that one.) and I am using a port on the back. System.img refuses to flash and I can not understand why... Any help would be appreciated. I have also tried the adb method of flashing and that did not work either, It flashed and then re-booted with the custom rom.
I have searched but I can not find one, I would prefer a simple flash able .zip as I have CWM but ANY help would be appreciated.
I have a rooted Galaxy S 4G T959 that all of a sudden decided it wanted to freeze on the boot screen. Even when I plug it up to charge it it just shows and empty battery gauge. I updated the phone using kies mini to the latest gingerbread software. The root I used I found on youtube. The file names are heimdall-suite-1.3.1-win32 and I used a driver called zadig. I'm not familiar with the workings of developing and rooting but I'm trying to learn. Which is why I have no idea how to get my phone off the boot screen. If anyone who's had this problem can help please do. I cant get into the phone to check and see if I still have development mode on. Any help you guys can give would be great. thanx
If you rooted with heimdall and then updated using kies you lost root if I'm understanding correctly the order you did this stuff
Do you have cwm? If so just download a rom...slap it on your SD card and install new rom that way.
If not you need to return to stock using heimdall one click or odin. You can search the forum for this stuff. Use that then use a custom GB kernel to get CWM and root using heimdall/odin

Do you have a T-959 or a T-959V? Check under your battery to make sure it's got a V in the model before you flash anything! If it's not the correct phone you can hard brick.
If you DO have a T-959V (Notice the V at the end there? Again, make sure your phone is the correct one) then follow this guide:

Sooooooo I tried to root and run cm7 on my LG optimus 2X phone on wind mobile (P999), I think its the same as the T-mobile G2x
I'm a complete noob at this and I probably screwed stuff up and now All I get when I try to turn my phone on is the LG logo, and then another LG logo (looks a bit more upgraded - probably from me partially upgrading it).
I rooted the phone
and then I tried to do the other stuff to run gingerbread on it and it was so complicated and now i'm stuck.
I installed LG support tool, and at first that told me I had no upgrades available, so I decided to root the phone via SuperOneClick....
and then after that I screwed up in places I think. I installed ROM manager on my phone same with another app, I think Titanium Backup, but everything got to complicated for me in between and after (lol)
so now I'm stuck and my phone is eternally on the lg logo.
I want to just get my phone back even if it's not on gingerbread, even a factory reset would be good - since I backed up my files in my computer.
Please help!
I made an account here just to post this! :crying:
pleeease help, this is driving me crazy! : ( i can't access my sd card, i don't know where to look!
I tried to do the instructions on the "How to unbrick your phone" but all the links for downloads don't work
edit - my computer also says I have no APX driver. Where do I download one??

This thread shows you how to install cwm properly. And how to get into apx mode for when you can't get into recovery or anything.

This is a tool you can use to reformat everything from nvflash so you can flash a ROM from a clean slate.
You can find the last cm7 nightly on their website.

If you are in the GTA I can meet up and help if you haven't already managed to fix it.
As the story says, a kiss turned my G2X into an HTC Ruby!
