I tried searching but since I'm very new to this forum I have no idea where to look. Anyway I went to update the ROM file on my droid x and in the process have managed to mess it up real bad. I'm trying to set my phone back to its out of the box state and I'm not quite sure how to do so. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated and if there is a thread already containing this issue just show me the way. thanks in advance.
wow 30 views and no help? bummer.
It would help to know what exactly is wrong with the phone
i tried to update it from an older version of the fission rom to the most recent and in the process it said my multi touch keyboard stopped working in the process so i couldn't type anything at all. so after that i figured i should just revert it back to factory settings with the motorola rsd lite program. now its stuck at the bootloader screen with this text.
Bootloader
30.03
Err:A5,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB
And it won't go anywhere from there. It's been like this for at least an hour now. Please tell me there is a way to fix this. Hope this helps a little more.
try to post this stuff in the Droid X forum, you will get more help and also did you try flashing a stock rom, also can you access the recovery
no luck on accessing recovery. its just stuck on that screen for now. i'll try those forums. thanks.
You probably need to use a diff sbf file

any clue to where i can find one for say 2.2? or should i just stick to 2.1?
Well i'm new to this forum and i've got my Huawei ascend about 1 month ago [recently learned about moding a few days ago].I rooted my phone with Z4root.By now i've replace my theme with gingerbread,changed my keyboard,and Changed my icons with Launcher Pro I love it.But i've used a program called "Boot animation installer" and it works but it works too well.I've installed a random animation from the pre-set list but I do not like this animation,I left it alone.
About an hour later I learned about custom loaders through stalking XDA XD.I liked one in specific and wanted to change it.I downloaded the zip and it showed up in the boot loader I clicked it,installed it but when I rebooted my loader was the same!I even tried going into system>media and deleted the current animation but it still shows the same one.What can I do to uninstall the current unwanted bootloader and replace it with the new one?I hope i don't have to format.
I apologize if this was in the wrong section or has already been asked I am new to XDA and the world of rooting/modding ect.
All help appreciated!

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.
lg thrive p506 EMERGENCY MODE!
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 was wondering if it's safe to flash new ROM with a custom boot animation active?
I want to update my SynergyROM as it's gotten slow and clunky, though it's about 40 revision behind the times. I haven't messed with customizing my phone for months, however, and am a bit rusty. I downloaded the latest SynergyROM, made my backups, and was just wondering about this. In fact, I'm searching for my bootanimation.zip right now, not sure where I manually installed it... lol
Also, apparently there is a way to just flash boot images now? Anybody have a link to some solid info?
Thanks in advance!

bootanimation.zip is in /system/media, so it'll get formatted when you flash a new rom anyways.
I'm assuming you're referring to bootanimations or splash screens, not boot.img's ..... But then again confused by what you're asking. Bootanimations just need to be put in a zip and the updater-script push it to /system/media. Splash screens there's a thread explaining how-to.

Hey guys I'm going to try make this as brief as possible.
Here is what I did:
Bought Telecom NZ Atrix 2 running GB.
OTA Updated to ICS.
Attempted to flash the JB Leaked Rom for (ME) phones.
Unsuccessful.
Whenever turning the device on I would go straight to fastboot - but by going to the boot menu I could still access the ICS software.
--- Fast forward a few weeks ---
I decided to get GNow so I downloaded velvet and saved it to my sd card.
I then changed the permissions on build.prop - and changed one of the values from 15 to 16 (I believe it was Android Something System Number))
Rebooted.
Phone would boot to the Motorola logo then show a lit up black screen.
I flashed the stock telecom rom using restore-to-ics_win-batch. All files would successfully flash except from system.img, cdt.bin and mbmloader.
I then attempted with a retail South African Rom (6.7.2_EDEM-18-MEARET) this flashed alot of files but this time boot.img and a few other files were not flashed.
--- Today ---
I flashed back to the Telecom rom and cannot boot past the motorola logo. I can access AP-Fastboot and Recovery Mod. I can also charge my phone when I plug it in and boot it normally through the boot menu (it shows the charging battery in the middle of the screen).
---
Here are the questions.
Has anyone that has a Telecom Atrix 2 (or even a foreign person who knows the answer), know of a rom I can successfully flash to my phone in RSDLite or through a batch file that will work?
Or alternatively, can I mix and match parts within the roms - like swap the South African system.img, cdt.bin and mbmloaders into the New Zealand rom - then flash it.
I just want to have a working phone I'm sure someone can help me! If you made it this far thanks for reading!
Bump.
I know I shouldn't be bumping, but I'm stuck.
There was a post I made in another thread about how to manually flash the whole systems files. I think it was in a thread called "how to apply updates manually" or something like that. Sorry can't link it to you right now cause I'm on my phone.
