Bricked! With NO Recovery (Just a LG splash)
- I bricked my brand new LG Optimus S from Sprint. I can't even boot into the recovery mode. If I try to boot normal I get the LG loader splash, but if I boot into recovery by holding HOME+Volume Down+Power the LG loader splash will flash then the goes dim and stays blank (black) while the ancillary buttons are dim-ly illuminated...does anyone know how to reverse this issue and at least get back to the stock 2.2 Froyo...or ThundeROM...I can't seem to get anywhere as of yet and I've been at it for hours...I have no other phone so I'm stuck like chuck for now...
If anyone has the ROM for the stock Froyo it would be much appreciated as well as any possible help...

I think there was some suggestions listed in that post, may want to read it carefully for any details that may help.12-19-2010 01:20 AMLike 0
- I'll take a look...not sure if it will help...I'm trying to find a way to restore it to factory from my pc...12-19-2010 01:30 AMLike 0
- It looks like that's a no-go...unfortunately since I can't get in recovery or past the splash screen or in recovery mode I don't even get a usb connection...I'm out of ideas...any help?12-19-2010 02:31 AMLike 0

- KSmithInNY#winningin order for you to restore or move forward or anything you'll need access to recovery or the homescreen.
I saw someone else say the sprint store took the battery out for a period of time and their phone would boot. You might try that, maybe try booting it after a long rest while it's plugged into the wall or even a USB port. Just tossing some ideas out cause you never know.12-19-2010 02:09 PMLike 0 -

Might be worth pursuing if your dead in the water.12-19-2010 02:47 PMLike 0 -
- Thanks guys for all your help...nothing seemed to work so I took it to bestbuy today and they replaced it for free...good thing I hit factory reset before it died on me (which I'm sure caused the issue) because they weren't able to see what happened that made the phone go on me...12-19-2010 03:39 PMLike 0

- Maybe that option should be removed from future versions of nRom and ThundeROM, until the cause of the bricking is figured out.12-21-2010 09:36 PMLike 0
- depends on what recovery he was using. there are many ways to brick this phone. there is no way for us to flash it from a PC as LG requires a special dongle.
While working on trying to get PSFreedom to work I noticed some definitions and apparently it looks for a special cable from LG before kicking into service mode.12-21-2010 10:20 PMLike 0 - Nick7Brick Masterdepends on what recovery he was using. there are many ways to brick this phone. there is no way for us to flash it from a PC as LG requires a special dongle.
