solved: unbricking MEGA-BRICKED optimus v!

Re: in progress: unbricking MEGA-BRICKED optimus v?

did u confirm u dont have a blimd recovery too? I messed my sprint and turned out the recovery was on there, although I guess if its a stock recovery u have that wont help.
hmm, I'm without a pc now, again, yeah the sprint firmware would, I havent been into cabs much but if you can figure out how.to extract it you could literally replace the img's inside and flash via emergncy, Im perty sure cabs can be extracted pretty darn sure. now that you mention all that I might try some other things, a nandroid backup in cab copy would be NICE =)

4shared folder - My 4shared

this is my 4shared

dear friend... can you re-upload this DLL
bricked my OV, just like the others, after several sprint firmware flash :)
EDIT: already got it, lgnpst said its bad blocks exceeded the limit


emergency mode works but kp500 seems glitchy.
it just won't finish the last 1%. the phone reboots into silver lg logo at about 95%, progress bar climbs fast to 99%, then 'problem connecting with phone'

but that's my old phone, losing the bootloader on it isn't so offensive.

the new one, that's the one i'm concerned with.
haven't flashed anything questionable on this baby.
just no sign of the bootloader.

happened to mine also
the glitchy 95-99%...

weeeeeell, it's not exactly fixed yet, but it is at least unbricked so I can keep messing with ir.
used lgnpst to flash bin extracted by kp500 from sprint cab, since vm cab is missing its dll.
lgnpst is clean and effective, pretty sure the NAND is repartitioned now. if you want v9 recovery to try the GB update, you can use v9 firmware with the pst and it'll burn in the recovery (v7 also handles the GB update and acts the same as v9 as far as rooting GB)

now i'm stuck with sprint firmware (menu+vol down+power to get into recovery now)
I haven't yet fixed the esn back to it's old self from being zeroed by kp500 but that's still easier than the radio stuff. a whole section of NV items got deleted, and I haven't yet figured out how to put something back since one of what got deleted is what can be changed to unlock the MIP settings in QPST.

seeing it boot into anything but lg or black screen makes me much more positive about eventually fixing it, and I don't consider it a brick anymore, just a little goobered. and it's my dev phone now since the radio's messed up.


Probably a stupid question but couldn't you extract both cabs from the OS and the OV all the way rename the OV files to match the OS files recompress it and try to flash? even if there was some sort of verification that the files are the correct files it'd be easier to by pass that in the dll by using an asm editor?..


Then again im stuck in the same boat just stayed up all night trying all kinds of stuff but who know's..
