Yeah neither adb nor fastboot see it.
This really sucks. It would seem it’s bricked, but then I have read lots of articles that swear that it is not hopeless.
The problem is LG has purged all files related to this device. Any download links or menus etc. you can find lead to dead links. I spent many hours and checked easily like 20 websites. There’s absolutely nowhere to be found an original rom image. Nada, nischt, zilch, bupkis, squat. Even the few XDA mentions are dead links :-(
I’d love to get it running again, but for now at least, I have stuff to do so this goes on the back burner. I have it in my box should I ever want to take another crack at it.
Say… you feel up to a minor challenge? I have like a dozen devices and I wish to document what are the possibilities for each of them, vis-à-vis alternate rom such as havoc, resurrection remix, etc., or aosp / gsi, or just rooting if that’s all that can be done. This way I can know what to prioritize trying.
I gotta tell you I find the XDA forums to be absolute chaos and incoherent. I’ve tried very sincerely to make sense of it, but sometimes I go to the forum for a device and it’s post after post with titles that don’t even contain a single actual word, it’s just acronyms and version numbers. And I’m sure that makes sense to the pros, but I can’t even figure out where to look for a starting point. So that’s why I’d like at least to catalog my options and then I can proceed knowing I’ve got starting points to look for.
If you’re up to it let me know I’ll post a pic of all the devices labeled. No worries if you’re not interested, I know it’s a pain in the ass what I’m looking for. Anyway thanks for trying to help with the LG. I’m not giving up hope yet, I love that little phone it’s sweet.
The real goal that the community should be working on is to strengthen the political efforts to give people the rights to do whatever they want with phones they PURCHASE, and prohibit manufacturers from locking them down so the OWNER can’t make any changes. I would totally accept that it voids the warranty because they can’t cover all the bricked devices that result from reckless modding… but there should not be allowed any barriers between the OWNER and the software within.
And the reason for my emphasis of certain words is that the corporate world is really truly beginning to indulge the delusion that nobody ever owns anything and that purchases consumers make are merely the manufacturer granting them the privilege of indefinite loan. It all needs to stop hard and now.
