So my son has an Optimus S obviously. He did something, said tried downloading Facebook app, and now its stuck in recovery mode. I've tried all four command prompts and all I get is android figure with a triangle with an exclamation point in it. Then I get the message. E: Can't find command file CACHE: recovery/command Installation aborted. No valid image in CACHE. Now I'm pretty sure it means his phone is bricked but I'm looking for a second opinion. Can i get an update on his sd card and then try or is his purple pos from sprint good for skipping at the nearest pond or should I send it to RatedRR on Youtube and have him kill it for me. Thanks for the help yall.

I know there's a thread on here that will help you, but I'm at work right now, so I can't search it down. I'm pretty sure sammyZ started the thread, if that helps. I can post a link when I get home if no one else has. It won't be until 10 EST though.

Yes you can indeed flash the stock ROM from stock recovery. All you would have to do is download a stock ota update (id recommend zvd) and put it on the root of the sdcard, using a different phone, or computer.

I know this works as this is what I did when I wanted to return to stock on my optimus s.
