RomTools sends some predefined adb commands for you. Fastbootroot sends some predefined fastboot commands for you. Everything these tools do you can type out by hand. You are probably better off rooting with gingerbrick, and then using adb to install a custom recovery. Once you master...

That is not the recovery. That is the bootloader. Something must have gone wrong with the flash. But all is not lost. Use this http://forums.androidcentral.com/optimus-v-rooting-roms-hacks/76500-guide-tool-how-root-fastboot-style-fastest-easiest-way-around.html This will install the stock rom...

I was referring to Lesieann's suggestion that the operator numeric might unlock a few new towers. The PRL is what would do that.

Here is what I found: ServiceState | Android Developers 3 digit country code plus 2 or 3 digit network code Seems like it is used for informational purposes within the OS and apps, not for use by the radio. Your PRL would take care of what you are talking about. That is my guess

The PRL should in no way effect the touchscreen. Try flashing a different rom. If a rom changes fixes it, then your system files or kernel are the problem. Try doing a fresh install. Another cause could be the moving itself. Changing climates/humidity changes can cause moisture to form inside...

Use the camera button to select items when you are in the recovery. Select, wipe data/factory reset.

Fastboot is your only hope. You need to install the fastboot drivers and get it to recognize your phone. There are only three ways to save your phone: Get adb to work with root access. Get into your recovery. Get into the bootloader and use fastboot. Nothing else will work with our phones. If...

Now wipe data, flash the rom that you want, and enjoy your life. It should no longer be stuck in a boot loop that goes into the recovery.

That won't work on the Optimus V. We cannot flash the official firmware. The files are broken. Try the fastboot method for flashing back to stock. It should work no matter what...

Don't bother with the mounts. Select USB storage and then on your computer check "Computer" or "My Computer" That is where the drive will pop up. Not under devices or anywhere else. Remember, don't press back after select USB storage. Wait until you are done transferring the file over before...

Try this, when you are in your recovery, go to "mounts and storage" and select "USB masstorage". While that option is selected, your sdcard should should pop up on your computer. If you press select again, it will remove the drive. Once you have access to the card, place this on it without...

The V and S are exactly the same size because they are the same phone hardware wise. I have both and all of their parts are interchangeable.

I use a paid one called du-meter, but there are free ones on the market.

Re: [ROM-ish] OV Port of ath3nos's Unofficial CM7 (Gingerbread) Way too much time and work for something I don't even use. I've never been a fan of the CM7 roms, too much bloat. I created this port by accident and people seem to like it. That's the only reason I kept it updated. The S and V...
