Last year I bought my first ever smart phone. Bricked it in the first month so bad that by the next month of messing with it I had managed to get it so it couldn't even be recognized by my PC, even in emergency mode (normally you get a looping message to plug into a different USB port to improve speed if it is recognized).
Thanks to this Guide: Unbricking Your Optimus V - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com
I was able to get the phone back to life. This zero'd out my MSL/SPC , MEID, ESN, and lost my AAA code, but with the help of all the Guides that WakeUpC22 compiled I have managed to restore everything but the AAA (phones not activated, so I don't think AAA password will show until it is).
I already have One good functioning activated phone so I'll wait to activate this one until the one that is currently activated dies.
Thanks to all these people:
WakeUpC22
asadullah
sammyz
Petrah
EManUL3XXX
Phatninja55
And the Devs of these Utility Programs:
DFS 3.1.0.1
CdmaDevTermV.2
LGNPST (Used the one with the General_v1.2_Lab_version)
I can now use the market to download apps instead of having to pull them off of one of the other good V's (purchased a used one last month as a spare) and installing them using ADB
Thanks again to all who helped in this project.
PS: Using DFS version 3.1.0.1 and following assadulah's hint in his AAA code video I was able to write my MEID to the phone and have it stick. It didn't look like it did right at first because it wasn't showing in the settings. Went back to LGNPST to try again and it showed my MEID insted of all zero's. Rebooted phone and there it was in the settings.
