I'll see what I can do. First this thread needs to be moved to the ATR sub-forum.

 

Done

 

[GUIDE] Unbrick/Upgrade Optimus V [EASY] [KDZ] - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com

 

if you've got emergency mode, search android central optimus v rooting section for using lgnpst.

 

Hey bigsupersquid, are you refering to "Unbricking your Optimus V"?

 

unsure...
not the kdz thread, but lgnpst... thought it required emergency mode.
although I though kdz would work in emergency mode, too.
dunno about download mode, only qpst has connected for me in that moed, and it wants weird filetypes I've not seen to flash with.

 

I'm pretty sure your talking about the "Unbricking Your Optimus V" thread. It is the one that uses the S firmware, right?

 

i think i remember the thread he's thinkging of and i cant find it now but even if i could he'd end up unbricked but unable to connect to 3g when all was said and done using lgnpst from download/emergency mode. best bet right now i think would be to keep trying with the kdz method and hold on to that as a last resort.

 

Absolutely, 100% what I was going to say next.

Note: The AAA sticky above (in one of the last posts) mentions the possibility of gaining it back, but there is no garranty.

 

there was a file (or files) to back up after running lgnpst to make a backup before using it to flash firmware, which preserves the nvitems, but it's been so long since I messed with any of that, I've misplaced or lost the info.

using lgnpst only as a last resort is a good idea.

 

It's a .nvs file you're thinking of it gets generated when you read the phone but you need to be on a stock based rom, stock recovery or running some ics/jb roms to read it.

Edit: I forgot to mention cot recovery and xionia recovery allows lgnpst read also.
