Hello,
I have had my T-mobile LG P509 Optimus T for about a year now and I have had it rooted just as long. My husband plugged it into his PS3 the other day and it went to the fastboot mode started screen, thanks to the wonderful posts on here I was able to fix it. Then the following day it got left outside all day long, battery was drained and the phone was off. I charged the phone and when I turned it back on it would not go past the Android Logo screen. Again thanks to all the wonderful posts on here I was able to get it back up and running. The problem I am having now is that every time the phone gets turned off, it gets stuck on the android logo screen again and I have to re install the ROM. the recovery is not helping. It is quite tedious to have to constantly re install everything from Google Play just to get my phone to work. Is there anyone out there that can give me a permanent fix or give me a ROM that is specific for the LG P509 instead of the one I am using currently that is for the LG P500 Optimus One.
Android Version 2.2.2
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
Build Number NuDroid T1D-S
Software Version LG-P509 V10s
Recovery Rom is Original_Recovery_ThunderG.zip
ROM is FRG83.zip
p509
the roms are the same
my phone is a p509 but im running every rom on this forum fine and everything goes well except some cases of data because tmobile uses a "funny sim"
P509
I figured they were. I am just trying to find out why every time my turns off and I turn it back on I get stuck on the Android screen and it goes no where, Doing the recovery of my back up from the recovery menu (volup+home+power) does nothing I mean I actually have to re install the ROM. Is there anyway for me to find out what is wrong. What ROMS are you running if you do not mind me asking. Also is there an actual list anywhere of the Factory System Apps that I can freeze with my Titanium Backup. I have the Pro version. PLEASE HELP. I have had this rooted for over a year with no problems and now it just wants to act all crazy.

It sounds like the rom is corrupted. I believe from your description it fails to load properly on reboot. there are a lot of options available for you. Most of the roms are for new baseband. Unfortunately you will have to experiment. Read the posts carefully, start here first http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152306. Next I would read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247 this will tell you almost everything you want to know. I would upgrade to the new baseband v20g http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149530 . Then I would upgrade the rom there are many good roms available. I wish you luck when I first stated flashing roms there were three days of hell before I started to get amazing results. I have a P509 on t-mobil network, and currently running cyanogem mod rom 7.2.0 RC1 it is gingerbread 2.3.7 New basband with lots of script tweaks. the performance is very good. good luck I will check back to see if I can help.

Thank you,
I will give those a look and see what happens. I will let you know.

i have same problem i have p509 and my phone fell during kdz and i think it partly works but no rom can load up :O
P509
I have done many different options. The one that I found to be the easiest is to take your micro sd card and put it in the adapter into your PC. Then in the ROMs section of this forum find a ROM that suits you. or you can use the Rom I listed in my initial post being the FRG83.zip download it to your PC then copy it to your SD card. Put your SD card back into your phone. Then go to the recovery menu. Volup+home+power hold until the recovery menu pops up. then wipe the data, then install zip from sd card choose the file that you just downloaded and let it do its thing. It has worked for me numerous times. All else fails follow the guide that is posted above very good info to have.

I wanted to change the kernel from my P500 to solve the lag problem and get better overall performance.
I rooted the phone using gingerbreak 1.20
after that i installed from the market Rom manager restarted the phone, and i backup the phone from there.
After that I got stuck with my kernel replacement and I gave up and I wanted to reset the phone to default state. I didn't do anything to my phone.
I unrooted the phone and did the factory data reset.
Now when I reboot the phone and press power+volume down+home I still get the Clockworkmod Recovery boot menu. In an untouched P500 what do you get when pressing that combination? Is there any way to make my phone 100% factory state ?
sorry for my bad english
u should even delete the recovery.....(TO get rid of it)
the recovery is on the sd card, right? i formated the sd card... so there is nothing related to rom manager...
u must try flashing the default rom from the devlopment forum.(KDZ Updater)
blah
if i wait for gingerbread update will the update solve this?
The Recovery is not on the sdcard.
Go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1065197
and download the file "Original_Recovery_thunderg.zip" (or something to that effect) and flash it through cwm. This will restore the recovery as it was originally.
The zip is unsigned so you will have to toggle signature verification in cwm recovery.
@mihir he doen't want to get his recovery back(in other word he wants to remove it).
@soberspine http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944881 check dis thread and install the original rom...
@devil the original recovery zip in the link will restore the condition of the recovery to factory condition, i.e remove it.
this android reminds me of installing windows 95
the new unpdate to gingerbread will come out next month, so the update to 2.3 will get rid of that boot menu and other things that where changed when I installed Rom manager? in other words will the phone go to factory state before rooting/unrooting and stuff.
Yeah most probably the recovery will be cleared if and when you update to gb. But if you want to clear it now use the zip, it works.
Sent from my LG Optimus One P500 using XDA App
I don't think you'll be able to update to GB from a custom ROM or rooted phone. Even if the option comes up, it is recommended to go back to stock state (without recovery and root) or else it might cause problems.
i didn't installed any custom rom. the only thing I did was to root my phone using gingerbreak and then installed rom manager.
the only thing that changed to my phone is that now it has that boot menu clockworkmod.
now i unrooted my phone.
So it is not safe to make official update even if the only change is that i have on my phone clockworkmode?
Step by step picture guide to completely restore to open-box state using KDZ updater
did this for thousands of times and if you are doubted in any steps feel free to ask me
btw for your question, an un-touched optimus one pressing the recovery combination will result in
a stable image of an android jumped out of a white-rectangular box
a bar at the bottom loading
but that's it, nothing more no matter how long you wait
Also for your updating question:
LG WONT recognize your phone with their official updating tool only when you are ROOTED (so of course when you perform any other steps after rooting, it wont either... e.g. installing custom recovery, flash roms etc)
BUT if you go back to the original thing with KDZ, LG will update anything for you -tested by myself!
thank you for all the clarifications and the tutorial.
I will wait now for the new android 2.3 release and ill do the whole thing then.
It is possible after rooting and installing clockworkmod the phone to work slower?
It feels like the phone is responding slower or maybe is just me imagining things .
hehe. nothing like that.

Right, it wont be slower dont worry
I have my friends att lg thrive 506 and I flashed the clockworkmod recovery for the optimus one and it looked distorted in color. I ignored it and flashed miks cyanogenmod, and it gave me the same problem in color distortion. So I restored a backup I made before flashing cyanogenmod and then I flashed a the clockworkmod for the optimus v (since rom manager gave me a lot of options for ones to flash, and that was the only other lg one.) Then I pushed reboot into recovery from rom manager and it got stuck at the lg splash for about 10 minutes then shut down. Now when I try to turn the phone on I get the same problem.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? If not I have to buy him a new phone full price, and I can't afford that. I'd be fine if it took him back to full stock and wiped all the data, right now the phone is screwed over. Please, any support is appreciated I really need this fixed.
Thanks in advance.
Also if this is in the wrong section, please move it mods.

Can u getting recovery atleast
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
No recovery just does the same thing a normal boot does. I haven't tried but when its turned on and pluged in to my computer, I may be able to use adb shell to view the normal system files but I don't think ill be able to see the critical files, like where the recovery is stored.
I use an HTC phone and know things like rru's let us flash stock roms like this and even revert to stock recovery, do any such things exist for this phone?
CHILL
perhaps u should use a kdz updater? remain calm and search it up. I fixed my phone that way too. Just don't bash your head like I did. :> But I'm not sure if there is one for yer model...........??? Hope this helps anyway...
Whatever you do, don't use any kdz updater. P506 kdz is not published, and p500 kdz will brick your phone.
If you only flashed a bad recovery you can fix it by re-flashing a correct one.
Your options, sorted by difficulty.
(1) remove/reinsert battery and reboot. If the rom boots fine (wacky colors or not), reflash Optimus One recovery from Rom Manager.
(2) remove/reinsert battery; use power+home to get to fastboot; now try (1) again.
(3) remove/reinsert battery; use power+home to get to fastboot. Connect usb and follow this. You'd probably be better off with the recovery here.
Once you fix your recovery, flash deodexed stock rom instead of CM7.
Drivers... -_-

Well thanks for this, but I can't preform the guide for one reason, drivers. I goto the lg site and get the drivers and I installed them, but I think the drivers are for when the phone can boot. And when I goto device manager, it shows up as android phone (with a ? as the icon)
So would someone be so kind as to share their driver for emergency mode with me? Thanks.
P.S. I am running Windows XP-Service-Pack-3, Intel Pentium 4-3.40-ghz-dualcore, 2048-mb-ram, 32-bit system
Edit:
I used my windows 7 laptop which auto-downloaded the drivers for me, then it worked like a charm, thank you very much.

Try disabling virtual modem.
ok so yesterday i rooted my telus fascinate and i was going to isntall the MIUI rom. Following a guides instructions i installed rom manager and did a clockwork mod recovery, i then put the rom on my root file of my sd card and tried to install it through the "install rom from sd card option" on the app. Problem was i only got into the stock recovery mode and not the clockwork one it aslo gave me signature failures. I then followed the guide of this video:
http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7xV0yE9ZcA
when i installed the kernel everything went fine but then after i got into CW recovery and installed the rom my phone booted and it just kept repeating the normal splash screen (it said galaxy I9000 instead) followed by a screen that said something like cryogenic mod. I got freaked out from here and tried to install stock kernels to get my phone running. As of right now my phone will boot but only stay on the splash screen. I can not access recovery mode. I really need some help, thanks.
these are some of the files i used:

i managed to get it into clockwork recovery mode by holding the dam buttons for a solid 5 minutes, after doing this i pressed factory reset, now my phone is stuck saying:

The rom you are trying to flash is for a i500 fascinate. I suggest taking the time to do alot of research before you turn the phone into an expensive paperweight. Read this link!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=921285
K well i ran that rom and it works now but he only problem is i dont have any cell service, do you know how to fix that. I know that you are probably laughing at my mild retardism at this subject but i am a big noob. As for what you said in your previous reply is their an MIUI version for the fascinate from telus because i basically rooted my phone so i could get this rom.
thanks
Update*
i followed the instructions on the link you posted and chose the rom for MIUI I9000 as the one i was going to install but when i istall zip from sd it only says installed correctly and then when i reboot it keeps changing from the sgh-t959d to the galaxy s cyanogen screen
yea your boot looped now. I would run the rom that worked just install the compatible radio and kernal for it and you should get cell service back.
ok thanks i got all my cell service back and i got the MIUI rom to work. Now to just ry to remember all the apps i had
Your welcome...glad you got everything working!
After countless hours of research, I decided to unlock my bootloader and to root my Motorola Atrix 4G. With success, I was happy to have everything working and installed the Darkside Custom Rom. I let a friend borrow my phone, and they saw the AT&T system update and they decided to install it. They bring back the phone and the system update has finished and was installing. The phone powers off and starts to install the update. 10% into the install, it stops, and I got the little green droid man with the /!\ behind him. I take out my battery, place it back in after 30seconds. It powers on, boots up, powers off and tries to load the update again. I restart it, but this time quickly going into RomManager and starting it up in Recovery Mode. I go to restore the phone using the file I backed up from the TitaniumBackUp app, everything backs up except the system. I plug my phone into my laptop, and everything is in the folder. I performed a system/factory reset, downloaded the last Gingerbread update, but nothing helps. Anything I try to load it says "Installation aborted". No matter if it's the original update or a ROM I download. Looking up other forums, I notice others that have downloaded the Darkside ROM have had the same; if not similar issues. I apologize for the length of this message, but I wanted to put in as much detail as I could so you know exactly what the issue is. I look forward to hearing from someone, and thank you in advance!!!
You probably need to sbf it back to a stock ROM and start over. I had a similar problem when I first got my Atrix and the AT&T update first came out. I had already rooted it and didn't unlock the bootloader yet. It tried to update and bricked the phone. Got AT&T to give me another though as I had just got the thing.

Thanks a ton! How would I go about doing that?
You need to download motorola RSD app to you computer. Search XDA for stock firmwares and download one. You will then need to use the button combo to get in to RSD. Connect the phone to your computer and make sure it recognizes. I had an issue where one of my laptops would not recognize the phone for anything. I had to use a different laptop. Once it's done you should be back to stock. The bootloader should be unlocked still. Just root and flash your ROM of choice.

I recently installed the nightly build of ICS on my samsung vibrant. Today the phone had a error that said encryption cannot be completed phone must be erased. I let it do a factory reset . Then I got stuck in a endless boot cycle showing the vibrant logo and then the cynogen guy for a few seconds then reboot. I could still access the recovery menu but it refused to flash any roms I threw at it. I downloaded and ran odin 1 click recovery and it changed my tmobile phone to a att phone. And it lost the recovery mode. It just shows att screen first then samsung vibrant second and just reboots. I can still get into download mode and flash roms using odin 3 but no matter what rom I select or if I choose repartion or not the flash will go through successfully but then the phone reboots into same problem as before. I suspect the recovery files are gone since no button combination anymore gets me into recovery. Is there anything else I can do?
Man I am having the exact same problem. I really hope someone can figure something out soon. Did yours randomly get that error? Or did you actually try to encrypt your phone?
Sounds like you used the wrong Odin 1 Click. If it installed Captivate bootloaders, that would cause a problem.
This is your best shot I think

It just happened
It happened on its own. Was working fine all day walked in my house as as soon as it hit wifi it started going crazy. I had the data plan turned off months ago. Maybe theres something to it connecting up to the net. I have found out if you install your sim you get a reduced menu of recovery options but without sim it just constantly reboots. it only gives option of reboot, reinstall packages,delete all user data, delete cache data. If you try reinstalling the packages theres nothing there. Deleting caches made no differance. ADB does work and responds while in this lesser form of recovery is there a easy way to use adb to force a full system flash?
Thanks
That link was perfect had a link to eugenes no brick froyo rom which fixed my problem. Dloaded that used its pit and tar files and repartioned and im back to stock. Going back to team whiskeys mod. If all ICS roms has bugs like that is unusable.

Do you have access to BOTH your internal and external SD cards? The Encryption Bug is totally and completely random and does not discriminate. There is currently no known reason or solution. Several of us across a few different devices have been working on this for months.
Consider yourself luck if you have access to both SDs as you are the 2nd person to get in and out today. Many, many others have not been as fortunate.
If you could please pull up this thread and put as much information in there as possible, it would be greatly appreciated. Are you unlocked, what happened right before, what bootloaders are you on, what ROM were you trying to flash, what ROM did you end up getting booted,....those types of things. As much detail as you can muster together, after you catch your breath and relax a minute.
Guys DO NOT run ICS unless you have read up on the Encryption Unsuccessful bug and except the possible consequences! Every ICS T959 rom should have a warning IMO.
There is no known fix > just a work around. Odin / Heimdall / Jtag = useless
Update
I think I might have pulled the trigger to quick. While the link above did give me Eugenes rom which at least got me out of the boot cycle both internal and external sd shows 0 and I am unable to load anything on either card. I have tried differant microsd cards all of them show the same thing. So eugenes rom got me working kind of but cant store anything at all. That sucks loved my vibrant and its almost out of contract and planned on using on prepay.
Agreed 100 %
Had I of known would of stuck around on my team whiskey rom which never gave me any problems. Does this ICS bug affect amazon kindles? Ive put cynogen9 on 2 of them and am wondering if I shouldnt take it off before they turn into paper weights.

I got tagged on a Nook Color with it. BUT, since the Nook Color has a feature that no others I think do (you can boot a ROM straight from an SD card and not mess with the oringinal OS at all), I was able to just pull my Microsd out and reformat it and then put CM7 on it for my wife.
So far from what I have seen and been working on:
Vibrant, Captivate, My wife's Nook Color, A few Transformers, SGSII,...
Anything I can do?
Anything I can do to get my partions right again? I can flash the twm 5.2.2 but none of the roms i throw at it including ics passion stays in a boot cycle. Only rom that works is eugenes froyo that does not brick and it doesnt allow internal or external mem to be seen.

You may want to bring up this issue directly in Merio90's thread. I believe Alex9090 went thru possibly similar issues and may be able to help you in that thread (unless she happens to pop in here).
I'm assuming you were trying to mount sdcard and emmc within recovery first (storage and mounts)? If you do have access to recovery again and can mount the external sdcard, maybe try repartitioning the card within recovery (using the parameters in Merio90's instructions)? Then transfer your rom zip and re-flash.
People have actually flashed Eugene's Froyo post-EU ... but without an ext sdcard. Quite an oddity. It's the only one (AFAIK) that'll fully boot up (even after losing int sdcard access due to EU) yet without an external sdcard in place.
Your assumptions are correct. I cannot mount emmc. I cannot flash any rom via 2.5 or 5.2 recovery only through odin and only eugenes rom still allows phone to boot but no mounting of internal or external sds. Ive spent about 3 days on this. There must be some hardcore adb commands to force a true factory reset partioning and all. Very annoying. Thanks for the help if I find any ways to fix it I will repost it here.
Might be bricked?
Ok, i will admit up front that I probably did something stupid and now am sending out a cry for help. Until yesterday I had ICS 4.0.3 successfully installed. I believe it was Euphoria flavor. But, I constantly had shortage of memory problems with the new force close language on apps running in bg - was laggy. Here is where it all went wrong - Decided to dl and install CM9 nightly to fix my laggy install. Recovery went fine, but rom failed, rebooted and sent error to cm. Tried new tactic - dl and installed Slim ICS - wrong, got stuck in boot loop - but could still get into download mode. Ran Odin to restore to stock. Ran fine but Failed - no explanation, just failed. Since it would not respond, finally turned it off - OFF has now become permanent! Power button does nothing. Charging does not light up screen. No download or recovery mode! Really fearful that this IS bad. Help, help, help!!

First of all, not to sound like a ****; but it's rude to hijack someone elses thread. You should've created your own thread for this.
Second; you might have fried your bootloader which in turn, yeah, that's bad and you might have bricked your phone.
Did you try to boot into recovery via the battery pull method. If not, try that and see how it works. I would link you to the instructions but I'm too lazy and tired right now to search for it and again, this is someone else's thread. Just do a search for it and you should find it.
If you need more help or guidance, create your own thread and start there.
Noticed your running Ice Cream Zenwich rc1.3. How do you like it. Ive installed slim 3 times today and twice I have gotten the encryption error within a hour. Needless to say not impressed major pain in the ass to have to do a million and half tricks with awm, adb, popping sd cards in and out etc.
Update
Also the current build of ics slim does not allow the imei information to be retrieved from sim for tmobile requiring a reflash of the modem. You have to download and install a new modem. I used csm5. The guide on the link in this post dow work but its a real pain and requires lots of trial and error. Wondering if google intentionally bricking these things knowing we all got gadget lust for the sIII now.

Noticed your running Ice Cream Zenwich rc1.3. How do you like it ...

ICZen_rc1.8.3 (AOKP #39, ICS 4.0.4) + subZero #144 (New Test Kernel just released in mr_pyscho's RootzWiki kernel thread) is Linaro infused ... and I've got to say the combo is THE fastest rom experience I've ever had on my Vibe. Whatever MP did in his new test kernel just blows the doors off the previous performance limits.
Btw .. you keep encountering EU again. Really odd unless possibly your external card wasn't partitioned correctly. Not a knock directly on you, but it is a common occurrence lately. FYI, I repartitioned mine directly from recovery.
Also ... Br1cK'd (ICZen) and mr_psycho (subZero) are aware of the EU situation and try to include safeguards in their builds. However, until we know the exact root cause of EU, we're all just shooting in the dark. Imo, it's at least comforting to use a rom & kernel where the dev's are at least mindful of EU.
