Bricked, trying to fix

[gekaap]

I got the recovery from here.

Just tried to flash the Harmonia ROM, no dice. I've come across some threads that specifically address boot loops caused by doing a factory reset, but all of them require using abd. But everything I've found that would get me to be able to use abd requires that I get it set up on my phone first, which I can't do right now. Is there a way for me to get around that?

"'abd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file."

Alright, I've tried all kinds of things. I can't mount USB storage. I've tried this, but it won't work. I can't view anything from the SD card. Noticed that I somehow deleted my clockworkmod backup. >_< Guess I'm just going to be buying a new phone.

No you probably didn't set up the adb correctly. Nevermind the adb. You might as well do the s firmware fix. Again, you have to be in e-mode to do it. And it may take a lot of tries to get the firmware on your phone. Don't worry, just keep trying it and you should get it. Post questions as you go along and work SLOW!

I can't set up abd without being able to get into my phone. How can I even get into e-mode at this point?

Well, finally was able to get qtabd to work, and flashed xionia. Phone is even worse now. When I rebooted it said "Android system recover, do not pull battery, formatting data, formatting cache, factory reset, rebooting" and then gave me 15 minutes of the LG logo before I pulled the battery to try again. Which just gave me the same result. So now I can't even get into recovery. I'm ready to throw this thing in a meat grinder.

Okay man. Calm down. You can save money if you just install s-firmware. Note: if you want, you can spend no money on it(that would remove network data ability. wifi still works). OR you can spend $99 on it to get the 3g and data working. This is because the cdma workshop required to help get the spc code no longer has a demo with that function(annoying). It's your decision. Do you want to go out and buy a new phone?
Or do you want to spend no money and have a phone that works well minus 3g?
Or do you want to spend less money than would cost to buy a new phone to get a fully working phone again?

I can help you out whichever way you go.

 

[gekaap]

Eh, I can buy a whole new phone for $99. Seems to be what I'm going to have to do at this point. What's a droid without the ability to have apps?

 

[andrewnelson23]

Well wifi would work. Not a droid but hey if you're not going to try and fix it, can I have it? You could pm me if you're willing! I could use a phone without mobile data.

Wait! just found out that there is a way to get spc/msl code! so no worries, you can get everything fully working including network data/3g/etc for free. Go to this video to find out how. Credit goes to Asadullah!
