Root LG MS770 Issues

First off, Huge thanks to the LG senior members, Mods and Devs! The knowledge shared and collected here is amazing. :D
I've been lurking about for some time now, All the while pushing my Metro Lg MS770 to it's limits and learning at the same time..:p This can be problematic.
I installed the LTE2 2nd init recovery and successfully flashed the PlayfulGod CM10 rom and gapps. I love the rom and the experience but the battery loss was too signifigant and snapchat was buggy. I made a titanium back up and made a backup via the recovery menu. I tried to flash Bards (ROM)(Beta)LG-MS770 Deodexed/Debloated/Base Rom and accidentally flashed with gapps.:thinking:
I cannot access the recovery menu any longer.The flash put the phone in bootloop, I was able flash with the R&D test tool UpTestEX_mod2_marwin and get it bact to stock. I can flash between firmwares via .vdz and upgrade firmware from phone. I have rerooted and LTE2 2nd init recovery says success, Reboot recovery cycles normally with no recovery.:mad:
Can I repair the bootloader? Thank you again.
 
OK. I did the o4xr adb method and Im able to access the recovery again! Thanks! Im still experiencing issues though. I wiped/cleared the usual areas then flashed Bards rom from version E FW. The flash seemed successful yet reboot prompted a morning call. I was able to recover with the R&D test tool UpTestEX_mod2_marwin once again, However many problems remain persistent now. The data shows EV with dinosaur speeds to match. Using the phones update says "device not registered". I haven't tried the PlayfulGod CM10 or any other rom. I feel I have damaged/replaced critical boot files. I have just enough knowledge to break this thing and not enough core knowledge to understand the background workings it seems. :p

Well that sucks; sorry to hear about it. I'm not sure what the test tool/marwin thing is (and I'm too lazy to look it up). But if you haven't tried it already, I'd go ahead and start from scratch by using the [GUIDE] Unbrick OR Unroot LG Motion 4G [KDZ].
Then see if that fixes your slow speeds and update issues. If so, great. Go ahead and re-root and all that jazz to try a ROM again (I had to do this close to FIVE times before I finally got Bards ROM up and running on my phone).
If the unbricking doesn't work . . . well, that's past my knowledge unfortunately. Hopefully someone else here can help you out.
Good luck!

From my experience, the loki'd files in bards ROM require the use of version f aboot. I would recommend flashing from stock f so that you will have version f aboot. Or you can flash just the f aboot, I have a thread somewhere with a flashable f aboot.

First off, Your contribution to these boards are humbling. Thank you. (Is that a 98Rock shirt :p?)
Very nice! I will try that this evening, Thank you for the reply. I did flash F, So I will go from there. My data icon still shows EV on F stock. Could I have corrupted some radio setting or altered the cdma somehow? I have a backup, stock.nam i made with dfs cdma tool before this all took place.:thinking:
Will report back, Blessings!

Nice, I'm in Orlampa. (Lakeland) Gasparilla, I think the Bucs won the Super Bowl too that year, Best drunk night ever. Beads and beer! Ybor rules. Thanks again.

Edit* Ok, I tried many ways to get Bards up and running, Still nothing. Morning call. I flashed Bobz and ran into issues with Snapchat putting the phone into airplane mode?:thinking:
I am now running playfulgods rom, Everything works great. Hopefully the battery can handle it or i can manage the processes better.:p
Thanks guys! Cheers!
