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.

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.
Hello everyone. I just purchased an Evo Shift from a guy on craigslist who had this phone working with Cyanogenmod 7 and gingerbread. We got his phone cleared off and I went to have it added to my account. Sprint is saying I need to have it back to stock to get the phone programed to their network.
The last tech that looked at it said there is no "Update PRL" on the phone now.
So, as of right now, I have an $180 paper weight, lol.
If someone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it. I've never had a rooted phone, so this is all foreign to me. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to xda xdbnewb,
You can find a stock ROM that will allow you to provision the phone in the Evo shift section. Until you are more familiar with using a rooted phone the easiest way to install it would be through the ROM manager app, all you should have to do is download the ROM to your sd card and then tell ROM manager to flash it.
EVO Shift Forum
Stock ROM - Version 2.72.651.2
Don't forget to go through orientation here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA
THanks for the reply. I downloaded the stock rom to the SD card. And now it's telling me that the SD card needs to be mounted. I've searched the phone and have no clue how to go about doing this.
Thanks again for your help!

Hi friends
im new here so this is my second post considering my earlier one i got no reply, what i want is help from any android expert in solving my problem. see i recently got the HTC one X plus and unlocked the bootloader, and installed clockwork mod recovery and rooted my phone. now when i receive the offical jb ota update, i cannot update it and it says error and i abort the installation and then reboot the phone in clockwork mod. and by the way all this unlocking and rooting is done thanks to Hasoons2000 tool kit, bless that developer who made this toolkit. so after researching reading many forums and find out that we have to use stock recovery image for htc one +. to fix the problem , i cant find any One X + stock recovery image all i can see are htc one X stock recovery image. but i need the one specific to my phone model.
Also it would be of great help if you show me the process of using stock recovery on hasoons2000 toolkit for oneX+
Since i dont want to risk bricking my expensive phone. so guys if you have the solution to my problem please do help me out.!!
why isnt anyone helping out. or didnt try it

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!
