i think i bricked my skyrocket after i flashed a ics rom that i got it from other web site. i cannot turn on my phone at all . I cannot go to recovery mode and even the downloading mode. Is my phone completely dead? is there a way i can unbrick it?
thanks
What rom exactly did you flash?
And try a Jig. If that doesnt work them Jtag is your solution
What rom did u use?? Cause some roms from the web have prob with them. Stick with xda for roms

does anyone know where i can buy a jig?

People would be better able to help if you answered their question (what rom did you flash?)
I suspect that "other web site" in the op means a rom for a different device. If you flashed a rom for a different device you are hard bricked and a jig won't save it. A jtag service likely will fix it. These guys have a good reputation from everything I've heard: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-jtag-brick-repair/

Hey everyone,
We are currently trying to figure out exactly why some people are hardbricking when the attempt to flash from ICS to 2.3.5 and why others are perfectly fine... we'd like to hear from all the people that attempted to flash back to 2.3.5. Were you using RSD Lite, or a script (what script)? We would much appreciate it if all of tell us your preferred brick method in the poll above, or if your A2 is still up and running .
Also feel free to reply with extra information about the script or xml file you used in the attempt.
Thanks for your pacience in the matter.

Is there someone out there with a fix for this hard brick issue or is willing to find a fix for this? I'm stuck with this hard brick, many other phones have fix for hard brick, even Atrix 4G with JTAG. Why isn't there a fix for Atrix 2? What is stopping us? I'm not a profesional, I really don't mess with these things like open the phone and solder wires, but if someone manage to unbrick a hard bricked Atrix 2, maybe he/she can let us know how to unbrick it.
Trust me man. The devs are working hard on getting a fix for us. And I am sure that if they find a way to "Un-Brick" the phones affected they will. We will be the first to know.
Remember, this is on their time. Not yours. No offense, but you need to be grateful for the time they are giving us, of their own accord.
For now, try not to hijack the thread and let's stick on topic. Cogeary is just trying to get info to HELP us fix this issue.

You could try and contact someone on this list of RIFF Box - JTAG owners... maybe get lucky, or start a project with someone. It looks like our device could possibly be supported:
RIFF JTAG firmware supports following features at the moment:
ARM7/ARM9/ARM11 PXA3xx, PXA270, Cortex-A8, OMAP850, Cortex-A9 Dual cores support;

Or, check the out the dealers list, and buy a box and learn how... but it'd probably be cheaper to buy a new phone.. (thanks to hankbizzo5 for dropping the link)
p.s. - With all of the bricks dropping around here, someone with the ways and means could/should start up a little company "resurrecting" A2's and Motos... just a thought..
Edit - sorry mtnlion... saw your post after posting my post... ya, let's keep it clean - starting... now!
I bricked using RSDlite v5.6 (good idea chrisel..)
Maybe also include what version of rsd you're using? I know allot are on 5.6 and maybe 5.7 has something to do with it?

Nope I tied both and I can fxz back and forth all day long... so can a few others.
I have used scripts and rsdlite and they both work for me...
Could there possibly be diff versions of the leak downloaded? Maybe that would explain the diff clock speeds?

Not likely... it is probably because those that are overclocked were overclocked at one time or another, and the chips are able to overvolt now, from the OG hack that was done...

Ok, here we go. I was on the leak, bought and downloaded setcpu, set overclock to 1000, set to start on reboot, rebooted and got stuck on att screen for over 20 minutes.

Don't understand much, why all of us used same Fxz file for same phone but RSD shows different steps. Mine showed 19 steps, and stuck at 5/19. Others are 18, 21 ... ?

Not all the FXZ files are exactly the same. darkmixta is on an international released phone, so the fxz for that is different from the AT&T US one, that is why some fxzs have more steps and others have less.

I'm sorry if this is a spam post, which I'm unfortunately not sure if this could be categorized as one.
But, in the Thrill forums, we've no longer had anyone taking care of ROMs for v20p, this is unfortunate, it seems that all of our Devs have either gave up on the phone, gotten sick of it and traded it, or have gotten to lazy to keep track of proper links in order to keep us actively updated on our next update.
We're suffering, We've only got ONE, ONE ROM! That's not even properly fixed to the consumers needs, this ROM would unfortunately be Thrill Seeker 3.1
If some of you devs would kindly build some nice tasty ROMs that are promising or if some of you could move a v20p project over there, we'd highly appreciate it.
Last thing, the only thing about our forum is that we are bloatware haters from Hades.

No! Because then you've gotta flash a baseband and everything just to get your stuff back, bad call!
Same with the HTC Evo 3D, they've been arguing since the phone came out to get a new forum for that one device, XDA has turned it down four times.

Well, if you don't like the situation in the P925 forum, why not learn how to dev? samno has a great post on how to start somewhere in this forum
The thing is, the P920 and P925 are so similar, yet so different. We can make a rom, sure, but testing and getting the files required becomes a pain because we don't have the baseband to test if what we did broke cellular data, 4G etc. The best bet for you guys imo is to get some people to learn how to dev. That is a better long term solution than getting the P920 devs to move over.

The problem with that is that I have the time, buy I'm not sure if I've got the patience.
Could someone throw out a custom Theme from scratch? Particularly, a Flashable zip.

You actually have two ROMs...
AcidHazardROM is one of them and it fits most users needs as it's customizable down to the kernel.
I'm trying to do some dev work for the thrill as I'm tired of using O3D ROMs and not having 4G. I can't promise anything special or cutting edge or that I will even release one. I've been working on it a little here and there, but plan on getting something together sometime soon. I just won't release anything if its not worth doing so. I'm still learning a ton about it.

Whaa? I'm 100% positive O3D ROMs have 4G. You're using the wrong baseband if you don't have it.

I have found that nearly all of the ROMs for the Optimus3D work for the Thrill 4g (or P925g, in my case, with the 20c baseband) if you flash the ThrillzGB kernel before booting into the new ROM.
The link to the kernel is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546103 .
Hope this helps!
Someone give me a link to a system dump of 20p & 20c and I might cook something up. Bored so might as well get back into it, also boot.IMG too so I can make a super stock kernel. Also 20p is '+' kernel but what about 20c?
Quite possibly the case, but I know for sure I haven't had 4G since I started using 03D ROMs. Tips on what to do? As I said I'm still learning a lot.
I know flashing a baseband will fix it, but I'm using Cyanogen Mod as of right now. I just haven't found anything that works as well which is why I want to create a very stable and clean ROM for the thrill.

I can give you one for v20c, just give me some steps on how to do it. I don't know completely if what I will do it right. -.-
Use "adb pull /system" (no quotes), the files will be copied from your phone into the same directory as adb. Just zip up the copied files (use the date modified as a clue as to which files were copied and which ones are originally from the adb folder) and upload it somewhere, As for boot.img, if I'm not mistaken it should be "adb shell", then "su", then "dd if /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of /sdcard/boot.img". The boot.img file should sit in /sdcard.

dunno what you guys are going on about. im a total noob and i can get the O3D roms to work on the Trill. i get 4G too,
step 1: root using Monster Root
step 2: flash CWM recovery with that .bat file in the Thrill README Thread
step 3: use the LG tool (do a search) and flash the V21e firmware
step 4: root again
step 5; flash CWM again
step 6: flash any O3D rom (i flashed the Thiaz one which had the Thiaz kernel in it)
step 7: enjoy :good:
dunno if i should've rooted before flashing firmware but thats what i did. after flashing the V21e the root went away so i rooted again.

An apn I've used in the past to get major speed improvements is setting the name and apn as phone and leaving the rest blank. In the thrill dev section there's a thread all about getting 4G on O3D roms so I'd check that out.

Yeah, when you're changing firmwares, you don't have to root or install CWM.
The LG Flash Tool erases the system, recovery, and kernel partitions.

Hi there, just got a brand new LG Optimus 3D Max (p720h) and was lurking around to find out if I can remove my carrier's customs. I learned to root my device and uninstall some customizations using various tools around the market and forums like this.
I'm still struggling with some customizations like for example the boot image and categories within the app list, I think all my problems would be solved if I used a stock ROM, problem is that I can't find really any good guides for this device, I was able to find something on p920 but I'm not sure that would work:
tool here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27004883
KDZ here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=10 (very sloooow download)
So I want to know if I could use those tools and kdz files I found or if there's another specific guide for my device.
Offtopic questions:
1. I heard Icecream Sandwich upgrade is planned for my device, is that true? Any news on that?
2. Would p920 cases fit my p720? Specifically talking about those wallet-like cases.

Hi guys. Sorry for this, I was unsure where to look. I attempted to ask in a different section but was told to post here.
Here's the problem -
I am stuck with this cell , cannot make calls, connect to wifi, etc. I have read many complaints about this. Basically, I am told by others I need to flash it, and get an upgrade. Currently I am running Android 2.2.2. Sorry guys, I am VERY new to all this. I cannot seem to find any help upgrading it. Of course I cannot do so when attempting via the upgrade option in settings, due to the wifi issue. Can someone please point me in the direction of a tool kit which can be used with Mac OSX?
Also, when I attempt to make calls, I get something like "Reorganizing internal processes"
Software version is currently LGP925 - V10e
If I need to tell anyone anything else about it, can you please let me know? Im so bad with all this, again sorry. I am a recent convert from Windows to Mac. Just not sure how to get the proper tools I need. If I could find them, I can then very easily just follows the steps, which I made a note of.
Thanks so much for anyone who can offer a little assistance.
As far as i know there isn't a Mac Toolkit available.
Apart from that you need to upgrade to Gingerbread but i can't help you on this because i am from Europe and i don't know what's going on with your basebands there..
Maybe a P925 U.S.A user will answer to your question.
