Ok. Tried the ZV9 root above. Everything seemed to have gone fine until it tested to see if the root had taken. It failed. It did install the ClockworkMod recovery which was nice. abd was still giving the same error. So, just for fun, I installed BobZhome's CM9 ROM. The flash went fine...

Ok. I've reproduced it. I had gone through the "Unbricking Your Optimus V" post to get this thing working decently. Well, I did it again. I have adb after the flash to the S ROM. The rooting with optiauto-sfx.exe works fine too. btw. It should be noted that the instructions should tell...

Hey Andy. Thanks for the reply. Well, here's the kicker. I have a working stock OV that I have no problems with. Same computer. Same cable. Same USB port. It's definitely something with the phone itself. I will be playing with it some more today. The last thing I was playing with before...

I've been playing with a OV that I got off ebay. The guy said it was ready to load a new rom... Not quite. It was a bit messed up. When I finally got it working ok, I found I could no longer use adb shell. I just keep getting "error: closed". In fact, all of the tools I've used that also...

Sorry to hear that atrain... I would check your windows drivers if I were you. I know I found three different version of the LG United Mobile Drivers. I actually uninstalled the the first one I loaded because it wasn't the same version as in the unbrick post. I wanted to make sure I used the...

Well, it just so happens that Yocco Doggie Packs can be mailed pretty much anywhere..... Would you be interested? It might cost you though.

Get Superoneclick. Start it, select "psneuter" under "Exploit" on the right, and then click on the "Shell Root" button. Once you've done that, leave it open, start a command prompt and then do adb.exe shell. You should be good to go then. It worked like a champ for me. Make sure you are in...

Awesome! Update went without a hitch. I now have a display and a working phone. Now to reenter all of those codes and regen the AAA code. Do I need to root this at this point? I intend on updating it with BobZhome's ICS ROM.

Hey upconvert. Is that a Yocco's logo you've got there? It took me a little while but I recognized it. You must be from my neck of the woods. Thanks for the info.

One more thing. Step 8. 8) Reset data and cache then toggle sig verification before flashing update.zip Should I assume the reset data means selecting "wipe data/factory reset" on the recovery menu? Should I assume the reset cache means selecting "wipe cache partition" on the recovery menu...

Thanks again for everyone's help. I'm sure I would have used the phone for batting practice by now if you guys weren't helping me. Well, I've tried a couple of times to get into the recovery menu and it seems like it just won't get there. It boots up normally with the home-up volume- power...

First off, yes, I did read the guide several times and check things along the way. I did follow the instructions as given, in order until after step 4. Now this is making some sense. I used the LS670ZV8_23.bin file when doing step 4 so that is why my versions look they way they do. I now...

Ok. So I'm home now and playing some more. I've found a couple of things that may explain what the problem is. First, I can't seem to get the phone into recovery mode. When I do and get it on Screencast, it's just the normal screen for the phone. No menu comes up. I'll try again but it...

Is there a way I can check the version of the kernel? Where would I look for the drivers? I have complete access to the file system so I can poke around. I'll look at my working VM670 and compare things. Would it be safe moving files from my working phone to the other?

Will try it tonight and let you know how it turns out. Thanks.
