nice! Just got mine from sprint wednesday. But unfortunately. There is no recovery for this device that doesn't cause it to brick.

I'm about to start unsupported development for this device per request of another user in the forums . I don't own one this device (SGS II E4GT) so I will depend on the community for testing?

Would the recovery from the LG Lucid work its model number is LG-VS840 or the one for the LG-MS840. Or would that give us a good start?

The lucid recovery from cwm is what we tried starting with but its causing the brick basicaly when its flashed its changing the phones model
also lg were dicks when they set the system files up for the viper there compleatly differant and we bacicaly dont know what partions they used ect

 

[thenameisnigel]

I'm sorry everyone. I'm going to try to start development a soon as I get home. I'm overseas on an unspecified ship for a few days for an unspecified thing. Lol i really can't say anything, but just know I got you guys.

Is there a command that I can run in terminal to find out all the partitions? I tried busybox fdisk -l but it never did anything

You can build it online at builder.clockworkmod.com but where's the fun in that?

Not sure if this will help or not but I ran df in terminal and got this. I ran cat /process/mounts and got all this if it helps.

Heres the files you need,... there from Shabby's Git hub I think or he got them from an adb pull....

playfulgod-android_device_lge_ls840-3c91acd.zip

As for the CWM yeah with these files and a system recovery head over to Recovery Builder build a supposedly good version of CWM.

I also got this one being uploaded to MediaFire ,... Just got it yesterday morning and its already of the LG Open Source Site

LS840(Viper)_Android_ICS_4.0.4_r1_US_Sprint_Opensource_LS840ZVG.zip

I'll put the upload link once its fully uploaded.

So I input all the files on the CWM Builder and got a successful output Which is what the site said.

recovery b268c98b3ea683c71ff6c63c20a382ae [Jenkins]
recovery b268c98b3ea683c71ff6c63c20a382ae Console [Jenkins]
Im going to try to flash this later today and Ill let yall know whats up

 

[RedBunnyJAV]

I JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTT Got un-Bricked with that LG-Utils P500 Method. I'm ganna try it just after i re-root my phone,...

 

[thenameisnigel]

I'm back in the states early.

Quick question: Do you guys want me to build it from source, or you all will just use the recovery hezx built?

- - - Updated - - -

The lucid recovery from cwm is what we tried starting with but its causing the brick basicaly when its flashed its changing the phones model
also lg were dicks when they set the system files up for the viper there compleatly differant and we bacicaly dont know what partions they used ect

I just read this, NO, NO, NO! You should NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER use a recovery built for a different device even if it is the same model . Over in the Sprint Opti S forums we had users from the Virgin Mobile Opti V forum come and try to use our recoveries and end up with a hard brick.
