Hi
I have a LG GT540 optimus. It was on 1.6, I used a tutorial to use a kdz to flash to 2.1 stock, then again to 2.1 fastboot, then used 2.3 cyanogen installer to upgrade to 2.3
I then realised I couldn't use an unlock code on a non stock ROM, so stupidly I used kdz manager to flash back to stock 2.1 without factory resetting or wiping data! Now my phone gets to the Android logo and bootloops, and I can't access recovery to do anything about it - holding down camera button and power boots normally and loops, as does power and home button.
Please can someone help, I'm really scared I've broken my phone and don't know what do to
Thanks a million.

So I've ran into some problems while modifying my LG Apex and now am in need of a stock ROM (I went into Clockwork Recovery and backed my old one up to my SD card, then lost all the data that was on my SD card =( ) But pretty much I was playing around with the software on it and during some updating with the LG updater tool, my computer bluescreen'd and now my phone just won't work. It boots up, gets to the "Welcome to Apex - Touch the android to begin" screen. It says I need to activate my phone, dials out to *228, and then won't do anything. The home and search buttons on the bevel also don't do anything when pressed. So if anyone knows where I can download a stock ROM, it would be greatly appreciated.
---NOTE: I am NOT looking for the ApeX custom ROM. I'm looking for the original US740 LG Apex ROM---
I would like to see this too
I also need to find a copy of the 2.1 system for the apex soo I can reflash the stock os
help

Hey guys,
I need some help, this is my first time to post here(noobie). Anyway, I have learned plenty of things here in this forum..now my problem is I updated my defy with the official 2.2.2 froyo (singapore) it was ok at first though had some camera issues it kept shutting down before taking a shot. now was going to do a nandroid backup have it rooted,SetCPU and stuff..My mistake was when I used the clockworkmod for defy it installed then when I was about to go to recovery mode it got stock in a boot loop..I panic and used the hard reset (stupid enough) that i was looking for the menu (which I just read today if froyo:use + & - keys for it) to which I cannot do anything I went to boot load to flash my old firmware ver2.59 SEA18 now at RSD lite it says PASS..but did not restart my defy.. now I cant even get it to recognize even after charging my battery using universal charger. though i still see the white light at the top when I plug it on my PC..
Can anyone help..sorry for my bad posting..THANKS a lot for any help..
I screwed up my LG Phoenix P505. I rooted it, then i uninstalled a bunch of system default apps. i uninstalled the internet explorer, then my phone crashed. it does not start now. It is stuck at the LG screen or i can hold down the home key and switch to BOOTLOADER. I would like to learn how to flash a new rom on this phone so i can use it once again. Its Brand new... Does anybody know what I could do? I do not know where to even find a rom for this phone but if I have no options i could ask a friend with the same phone to back-up their rom for me... Please help me, I only got to use this phone for 1 day before i messed it up
if your machine has s-off, I think through hboot to flash third party of recovery,
after that you can be missing from the recovery flash file, or a new rom..
good luck
Before flashing any custom rom, did u try to perform an hard reset of the phone?

Hello,
I just recently rooted my phone (LG optimus 3D, Rogers) I didn't like the ROM I installed (cyanogenmod 7) and i tried to restore it back to the original ROM. When i opened up ROM manager and tried to restore , the entire system crashed&rebooted.During the reboot i pressed the power button. The phone stopped responding and forced me to remove the battery. After re installing the battery it booted past the LG logo screen but after all there is is a black screen and every time i press the screen the buttons on the bottom of the screen will light up but that is about it.
I managed to get into the android recovery manager <3e> but when i format all it says is it is unable to mount and load recovery/log
did i permanently brick my phone ? should i try to send it to rogers/LG and see if they can repair it
Please Help!

How did the recovery revert to the stock recovery? Don't you need CWM to flash CM? Anyway, try flashing CWM again and see if you cannot flash another rom just to get Android up again.

Hi, I have a problem with my LG O3D. I have root my phone with superoneclick and then i've installed rom manager. I click on "reboot into recovery", because i wanted backup the rom but when I reboot it gets stuck on the logo LG.I tried the key combination to hard reset but does nothing. What can i do? thanks to anyone who will answer me
O3D is unbrickable unless you have hardware damage. So don't worry , use the resurrection guide to fix it. Search the forum for it.

I pulled my vortex out of storage the other day to tinker. It was rooted but fully updated stock 2.2.2
When I booted it up, it stayed on the boot animation 20+ minutes, until the battery ran out. I've tried booting it up again but it keeps bootlooping.
I figured I'd just flash a new ROM onto it, but I never put a custom recovery onto it and the only Vortex Recovery I found was this;
http://androidforums.com/getitnowmarketing/330813-all-one-recovery-thread.html
However, it says I need to do on-device commands and stuff to get it working, which obviously isn't an option.
Is there any other way you guys could think to resurrect my old Vortex? My Droid Charge is my phone now, this thing doesn't get much use anymore, but I'd still like to get it back in a usable form.
EDIT: FYI, already tried everything relevant in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1031596
If you flashed stock rom. Try hard reset.
Home+vol down / vol up+ power.
thank you! that button trick did the job!
EDIT:
well, it worked once, but the phone had been uncharged for a while so the battery died, and now i can't get the trick to work again >_<
is there a way to re-flash stock without a custom recovery?
