For starters if I have this in the wrong place or missed whet I need in search please forgive me as this is my first post.
Droid Incredible rooted with no problems. I am still on the stock kernal. I downloaded setcpu and flashed the associated perflock disable (again, due to stock kernal). Now it appears the phone is bricked as I can only get to the white "htc incredible" screen. I have tried booting into recovery with no luck.
I've read a few ways on how to get out of this situation and frankly I'm scared to try anything else. I just don;t know what could have gone wrong with flashing the perflock_disable zip?
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
I can get into Clockwork mod Recovery however it appears my nandroid backup files are gone....most likely due my having to reformat my SD card due to music file issues awhiel back. I must have forgot to do a backup after that.
This definately will be a learning experience.
Nevermind I got it up and running again. Thanks for your time if you read any of this.

The new bubby's method has a fix for this, re download his program unless you have the newest version and use it. There's a thread around somewhere with this same info.

lol ok problem fixed lol when you do enough searching you will find the answer
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.
So i am a newbie on rooting and everything related.
and i rooted my phone got it on super cid and tried out a couple of custom roms to which ones i liked best for my liking.
The last custom rom i had was the hypernonsense 1.4
and when i was putting that on my phone. the guide told me to delete the file "android" afterwards. so.. i dont know if that has anything to do with it.
and i think i change the kernel or something on it too as it told me to do.
Everything was going good until i tried to put my phone in recovery from my backup on clockwordmod.
then it just stays on constant bootloop.
If someone can give me easy instructions on how to fix this problem. id greatly appreciate it.
You can try putting it into download mode, then flash a stock ROM. Otherwise you can look for a solution in the Sensation's forum.
Hey guys i`ve recently managed to get an SGS 4G Vibrant ( i believe that i am at right place to seek for help ) , i have the T-Mobile version of the phone. I need help switching to different/better ROM, at this moment the phone uses the stock one ( or i believe so ). I`ve been tru the threads and saw that there are a lot of stuff posted about what you need to do/have to flash a rom, but i just cant understand the right order of doing the things.
If its posible can someone really quick just post the steps for the guide for flashing a ROM to the phone. I have previous expiriance with android phone and i am aware how thing go, just as i said i cant get the right order of puting all the thing at one place.
For the phone i used to have was like, first i had to install an stocklike ROM which had recovery, but before that i had to get some kind of software for LG that alowes to flash the rom via download mode. So is the same here? It would be awesome if someone can link or atleast type all the software and other thing i need to have installed to make this work. For now what i have is the USB drivers for Samsung.
Thanks in advance!

Ok, that helped, not sure how i missed it. I am gonna write down what i did so far, so you could see if i messed up something.
I rooted the phone via SuperOneClick 2.2, then i installed the SGS Kernel Flasher, and then flashed the kernel, my current phone was running an 2.3.7 android, so i used the Basic with a Twist`s kernel ( i hope i did it right ), and now the phone rebooted and some different boot screen apiared with some Robotic Chick speeking some stuff, BUT for now the phone load to there, it doesnt wannt to load.
So did i messed up something, or ....
Can you go into recovery by holding Volume Up+Volume Down while pressing the power button and as soon as the SGS 4G splash appears leaving the power button ?
If so and you can see CWM Ver. 5.0... then kernel was successfully flashed.
You shouldn't be getting a bootloop.
What ROM do you want to flash ? If you want to flash GB then I suggest Barebone/Valhalla of some kind.
If you want ICS - Go to the CM 9.1 thread and follow the instructions. After that you may change to AOKP or MIUI or all the rest of the ICS ROMs you wanna try.

I am sorry I do not know how to get you back to where you started before flashing the wrong ROM.
Good luck
Well, it wasnt a bootloop, it just loaded to some point and stoped. Gladly still got the download mode and brought it back to normal to how it was. Thats why i came here to ask, `couse there are too much similiar sgs`s and stuff for them here, i just got confused whats what. Got to start from scratch anyway, at least i didnt bricked it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21953587&postcount=1 <---- That's a post by Lumin 30 with a guide on how to get from stock to custom GB. If you want to get to ICS then use CWM 5.0.x.x.
