will try that
nothing it's horrible my computer doesnt detect my phone
It isnt recognizing but when I plug in the phone it turns on to the lg screen also.
The cord i'm using goes to an evo 4g could that cause it???
Burn clockworkmod via LGDMP
OR
try a hard reset
HOME+VOLUME_DOWN pressed, press Power
It wont do hard reset, it only goes into Emergency Mode.
And how can I flash clockwork mod?
usb doesnt detect I am gonna try a different cord JIC
Man this is my only phone, and I need it to work . Thanks for the help

Install LG Drivers on your PC and read this
If you can boot into your custom recovery, flash an alternative rom like AGA Rom via recovery and then burn clockworkmod via LGDMP or do anything you want.
It will surely work, IF AND ONLY IF YOU CAN BOOT YOUR P500 IN RECOVERY MODE!

So I went to flash to my cell using romrepo.info/wiki/index.php?title=Install_from_Stock_Optimus. I got to step 15, and I realized I forgot to place the ROM in my sd card so I restarted the cellphone so I could place the ROM in my sd card, go to reboot to repeat the process and I get a screen that goes:
Fastboot mode started
gpio_i2c: invalid khz: 0
bl: i2c write error
udc_start()
--suspend--
--reset--
--portchange--
--reset--
--portchange--
fastboot: processing commands
Its a blue screen. I just want to flash this Any guides to get me out of this?

Can someone post a link to a recovery file for my phone? You guys are the best.
I followed the above guide, and used the ROM here prepaidandroid.org/index.php?title=How_to_restore_your_Optimus_V_to_almost_original_condition
It reboots, and the same blue screen is up
My brother flashed the wrong recovery, I tried using the tutorial to fix it using fastboot.exe from windows, but it won't work as it can't find the device. windows sees an android device and I installed the drivers from lg, but it refuses to enumerate in adb shell, so I can't connect to it, any ideas?
okay after fiddleing with it a bit, I got the origional recovery mode restored on it, and when I boot into recovery and plug in usb adb can see the device, I have a stock froyo rom how do I restore from here, or can I reflash clockwork from here?

Not sure what recovery files I need or ROM I need or anything, or how to use adb. I've been looking online for the past 3hrs on this stuff.

go to this page
this only works if you have some sort of custome recovery, My brother had the wrong one for the optimus v (clockworkmod 3.2.0.0) and it wouldn't install any rom.
I just played around with this page until I got the stock bootloader/recovery back, however I'm not sure if this is what we want, you may want to try flashing one of the custom recoveries listed on the site, now that I have the stock I can re-flash anything.

you need to get into a custom recovery, optimus v press back, volume up and power at the same time to boot into a recovery, if you don't have a recovery at all there maybe an issue. so try and boot into a recovery and let me know what you have.

if you can't get into any recovery your device maybe permintally bricked, but don't take what I say as gospel I'm new at this as well, I'm still looking up more info, in the mean time you need to figure out how to get into recovery, google for key combos, also when using a key combo to get into recovery make sure power is the last button you press in the combo, hold down the others then power (while still holding the other buttons) and release as soon as you see the lg logo, it should go away quickly and after a few seconds of black you'll see the recovery, if the lg logo stays up for a while it's trying to normal boot.

I think if I can get adp to recognize this device I can fix it. Fastboot recognizes this, but adp doesn't. Is there a special adp driver maybe lol?
Got a little bit of progress....did a full system flash using fastbootroot and NVM OMG its fully booted! wow never thought I'd see the homescreen again...now to try to flash it again hahahaha
Now what verison of recovery and rom should I be looking at?

if you want to get aospCMod on your phone, follow this tutorial, this is what I did for my phone works great.
Now my question to you is how did you use fast boot root tool to get back to home screen because I'm still stuck at recovery
okay I finally managed to fix it, I figured out how to use fast boot root and got a custom recovery, from there I could flash other recoveries, which was importaint because even though I could install any rom I wanted it was stuck in a boot loop where it would keep booting into recovery, So i flashed Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip from here and under advanced it has an option to fix the boot loop, then from there I could flash a rom and it's fixed.
Lot of work fixin' my first bricked phone, but I learned alot.

Is your phone still able to goto download mode? Then no worries, it can be brought to life.
Try to flash a STOCK ROM (KPH / KPN / KC1) and not the custom rom. Just keep trying it again and again, no other way.
PS: Many including me had come across this problem. Good luck
After all forgive my english and i will appreciate every answer!
Yesterday i was installing a custom rom, eXperience Innovation (the ROM with JB). and there was no problems. all the process went well and the installation finished correctly. i followed all the process how it was described in the thread and reboot the phone. Here is where the problem begin first the system get stuck at the sony logo (for much more time than usually takes when you install a rom) so i reboot again the phone and now it doesn't start.
Actually when i push the power button the green led flashes and nothing else occurs. i just can connect it in flash mode and fastboot mode
I've tried to fix it with pc companion but it says that the phone has a custom software that can't be updated (sony error 2003)
then i tried to install a stock kernel with flash tool but it gets stuck in the process. i tried by flash mode and fastboot mode several times and with different kernels but it doesn't work.
by the way i can't access CWM.
Please any help will be appreciated!

You have unlocked bootloader, right mate?
Sola didn't get official jb update.
When you install jb for first time you have to wait till your phone boots properly. Could ask 15-30 minutes or even more. The key is to be patient.

It's not a kernel mate it's an ftf file. You have to flash it via flashmode not via fastboot mode.

This is no hard brick. This is soft kernel brick. A hard brick is when you can't enter flash mode, and your phone is dead(cannot power on) you can get a hard brick if you are some crazy dev :-\ who constantly brick his phone lol

If no, means that your bootloader is now locked. Try installing again stock rom via flashmode or repair your phone using pc companion.

I think the easiest way is to use LG mobile support tool. refer to this member post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2456558&highlight=encrypt
- Boot you phone to S/W update mode
- Run LG mobile support tool (B2CAppSetup.exe)
- Select recover you phone from menu and wait for about an hour
- *Dont forget to comment lg server that you add in host file for offline flash
There're also other way to fix it, if you can boot into Stock recovery by Holding vol- + ... (I can't remember ), but this combo may hard reset your phone if you don't have stock recovery. In stock recovery mode you can use adb to push and replace busybox. I don't try this myself but some member unbrick their phone by this method.

Sooo.. i understand that you have allready root rights.
Iff you do... here is an ideea:
1. go to android market and download RebootManager
2. install.
3. this app has the power to make you happy .
4. press rebootmanager > press reboot to recovery... give app root right...
5. and... voila you are in recovery. Custom recovery(if and only if you installed the right and good recovery for your phone)
hope this helps you.
Ohh.. one more think: TWRP is way better then CWM. My opinion.

Hi. I am sory that is not working.
I have thinked about what you sad. Try this:
1. Load the scatter file that is in the firmware: MT6572_Android_scatter.txt
2. Try to flash without the accumulator pluged off.
3. Plug the cable after you pressed firmware upgrade button.
If this is not working, i will try to find something that is working, when i will have some time. From time to time check this post maybe i will find something and i will upload here.
Good luck.
