Hey, I'm kinda new to this, but uh, I have a LG730 (Venice) And I want to flash cyanogen to my phone but I honestly have no idea what I need to use... When I first rooted I was new and dumb, so as a idiot I just immediately tried putting in on my phone and I used Rom Manager.... Bad choice either way but, as I was saying it didn't have my phone listed, but it had the LG Optimus L7 Which is the LG Venice but not LG730 the Optimus was like P700 I think? And I used that and I downloaded Cyanogen from Rom Manager and booted into Clockwork mod and it gave me a screen as soon as it booted that I had to wait because it was downloading and it also said not to disconnect the cable but I didn't have a cable in it? So i tried booting into recovery but, no luck. So I then realized I messed up and bricked my phone, I was nervous knowing that I couldn't simply send it back since it was rooted so that voids the warranty, it was out of the question, so I looked it up and I got lucky and reinstalled my stock rom and drivers so I rooted again and it's back to normal now but, I do want to Flash Cyanogen mod onto my phone so if you guys could help me out here it would be appreciated :angel:

Sooo... I recently got rid of my Samsung Captivate. I loved the phone, I simply didn't like paying $100 a month for it. ( Darn you greedy AT&T. Haha )So when I found out about this LG Optimus V and it was $25 a month, I jumped on it. Problem is: I bricked this phone by trying to put on the Captivate's Touchwiz Calculator onto this device (because it is much better and I liked it) by following someones guide. It seemingly worked until I shutdown my phone and now it won't pass the android screen. It tries over and over but to no avail. I have found almost no blogs/threads on this phone at all or anything of actual use to me not only on xda but on androidcentral, etc. I found it very easy to put my Captivate in download mode and use odin flasher anytime I wanted to change the ROM I had on it even if it was bricked I could put a new clean install back on it. I can't seem to find anything that can help me with this phone, how to put it in download mode if possible? How to flash a new stock rom? Can't find a stock rom? I would GREATLY appreciate anyones advice or help to this very aggravating problem.
Sorry I can't help more, but what happens if you boot the phone whilst holding the back button or volume down button? That enters the hboot/fastboot menu on HTCs, where you can enter the recovery module and flash a ROM.
Well I tried both of the volume button and the back button but you saying that made me attempt pushing both of them at once with the power button. It worked!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, you helped a ton! You wouldn't perhaps know where to find the stock rom would you?
I saw this thread still open and wondered; Do you still need a stock rom?

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.

need more info. are you on stock unrooted, just rooted, or rooted with custom recovery and rom?

^^^^need to know^^^^^^^^^

hello, i just purchased a lg device, actually a lg p920 or lg 3d, and when i got it and saw that the signal wasnt working and that i couldnt connect it to the computer either, so i thought that i could just flash a new rom or something like i did in my samsung vibrant, but i couldnt either, becuase when i went to the clockwork mod, it just said wipe, i mean all the options that appeared were wipe... so there wasnt an install option, a i realize that it was because it wasnt rooted. so i have been looking everywhere in the internet and i tried out all the root option for this device, but none of them work, so now i dont know what to do. because i cant either get my cell to work, even for calling or anything,because it doesnt reconigze any sim cards, and i cant either connect it to the computer to flash to a new rom. the device is actually running android 2.2.2 and the kernel is 2.6.35.7, dont know if that helps, but i really need help with this pleasee!!! thanks in advancee!!
1. Does it boot into Android system?
2. Send us links of threads that you already try
3. what OS you have on your computers
4. which phone driver did you install on the computer.

if your handset is new, within warranty, it is best that you take it to the official LG service stop. please dont try rooting as it will void your warranty.
only if you decide that you can do without warranty, you can try rooting the O3D.
before that, upgrade to GB.
search for MEGATRON in this forum for rooting the O3D
once rooted, you can download ROM Manager from play store, flash recovery using ROM manager and then try custom ROMs.
please click on thanks if you think I helped.

Today i chucked together a rom im just learning now how to port and so on. many people will say its not possible but yes it is. I now have flashed galaxy rom to my sensation and it got past boot animation and is now stuck but windows picked up my phone as a Samsung device in device manager. im just going to install drivers to see if i can get logcat and i need a dev to take a look at my rom see if he/she can get it to properly booot up
HI, u try it and its good ??? I don't understand how it could!!!! Try to install another ROM, its possible that a Sensation ROm will solve this !!!
I think
Pretty sure build.prop is the reason for the issue. I'm baffled at how you not only avoided bricking your phone but managed to boot a galaxy Rom on your sensation.
because flashing a rom wont brick your device. i removed all fatal files and made it flash safe for my phone. rebuilt the updater-script so that it was safe to flash and it wont boot past boot animation so gave up tried everything i could but was a no go would have been my 1st time at sucessful port but oh well i am currently trying sony experia maybe that will work who knows
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.
