So I have the first fully bricked phone with full recovery still intact? ...awesome, I'll take that trophy ;0

Ok, sounds good. Hopefully this is just a broken cab/bin issue. Thanks again for your help! I'm mostly just using this as a WiFi device, so I'm not really worried about the CDMA radio...

Yes, I was trying with the VM dll, but LGNPST still wasn't accepting the firmware to flash. For that ZVD bin... I don't know if your copy will help or not... flashing the bin in e-mode results in the same error as flashing the cab in recovery mode...

It's an LS670 that's causing all of these issues. ;0 I do have a ZV5 bin, but I'm having trouble with LGNPST allowing me to flash it. VM670ZV5_07.S5_07.P61007.cab - 683ece33ad70198d5cf0fcb5a7c1681d I originally downloaded the ZVD bin here...

Right, I was flashing a cab instead of the bin and getting the error at 30% not 27% as with the bin in e-mode. That wasn't my post from another forum... I was just googling and found another user with the same issue on that forum. These are the MD5s for the files I am using __________...

Yes, LGNPST fails at 27% in emergency mode with any cab/computer/OS. I'll try with recovery mode. UPDATE: LGNPST fails at 30% (same error as in e-mode) while starting with recovery. Another forum (LG Optimus firmware. - Page 3) suggests trying the "full firmware" which should be ~600MB. Does...

Yes, I have tried wiping both after flashing stock ZVD, ZVJ, etc... I still get the boot pause at the Sprint and VM logos. Thanks everyone for your help... looks like I'm one of the first to have a complete brick with stock recovery still intact! ;0

Thanks for your help. I copied everything to the ADB folder, but when I try to execute the first command, I receive "failed to copy 'busybox' to '/system/bin/sh': No such file or directory"

Yes, I've tried flashing ZVD and ZVJ from recovery with the phone still stalling on boot at the Sprint logo. ZV5 does the same but with the phone stalling on the VM logo. I can use push and restart from adb, but that's about it. No adb shell, mount, or chmod (I receive that "exec" error)...

Well, I keep trying to install a custom recovery (to install another ROM) through adb (while the phone sits at the sprint logo), but I keep receiving "exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)" error at just about every command. I did verify that adb detects the device. I...

Oops, apparently I am not out of the woods yet. At least I am no longer looping on the LG logo anymore! After the battery finally finished charging, it started booting, showed a Virgin Mobile splash, and then went to a black screen. I tried KDZ with the same results. I tried LGNPST again...

Issue resolved! It was the battery! Apparently the phone didn't charge that fateful night, running down the battery completely. I chained together 3 AA battteries, made sure the phone was connected via USB, and connected a Red/White AV cable to the +/- ends of the AA batteries and the prongs of...

Thank you everyone for your help. Since lgnpst keeps showing a "number of Bad Block exceed the limit" error on any computer, it seems like the only way to restore the firmware is to repair the corrupt sectors of the NAND. Does anyone know a method of doing this? Thanks!

That there is a very good question. I originally had this phone with Republic Wireless, and the "About Phone" settings menu never displayed the baseband with their custom ROM.

D33z, I also tried KDZ on the other computer. It says "===FINISHED===" but I also receive a "WParam: 100 LParam: 89" error using the first link and included ZV5 kdz. I tried the second link with a ZV4 cab found here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2VIFL0RoIC8ZmVuR1NpVXFQMjg/edit?pli=1 but I...
