I think I know basically what I need to do, but hopefully someone can help me with the commands or point me at a better way.
Today My LCD died. Backlights come on but screen does nothing.
Phone boots and is running fine. Just no display and no touch screen. I've tried pulling the battery about 100 times.
Phone has Nill's ICS Sense 4 ROM
Device is S-ON and HTC Unlocked
I want to return it to stock ICS before taking it to VZW for repair or replacement.
What I assume I need to do:
Relock(I can do this)
Put the RUU on the sdcard(I Can do this)
Boot to Hboot and fudge my way through the update process(this I'm iffy on without a screen).
Can anybody help me with the exact commands from Hboot? OR is there a way to do this from abd or any other command line from my PC?
Thanks in advance.

You need to relock, then get into fastboot and type
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
then put the PH98IMG.zip into the folder with adb and fastboot on your pc and then type
Code:
fastboot flash zip PH98IMG.zip
wait for that to finish and you're golden :good:
Good luck sir

You forgot to tell him to run the ruu twice.
THANKS! Running now, though I'm not sure I'll know if it worked since I won't have ADB or screen capture if it worked or if it's bricked. Either way,this thing's only 3 months old VZW is gonna eat it.
Update: OK I think it worked, seemed to boot for a while without the charge light, now the charging light is back on and I can turn the back light on and off. Hopefully that means it's sitting at the setup screen.
Thanks again.

why do I need to flash twice?
It does seem to have worked as stated. Actually looks like the touch screen is working as I am able to unlock and power off the phone once booted and then i can boot it back up. I think I'm good, though I may try to enable adb if I can figure out the touch locations.
Update: OK WOW, the RUU I flashed(latest) has adb enabled I guess, I can adb and get screen shots and I am at the android setup screen. AWESOME. Thanks!!

Glad it worked
Well i installed pimp my rom and it made my phone unstable, so I decided to start from scratch and wiped my whole system, I then proceeded to install nocturnals rom and it installed fine, however I noticed that the phone was getting extremely hot. Well the rom finished installing and it was in the process of rebooting when it suddenly turned off. The phone was extremely hot to the touch. Then it started cooling and cooling and now its ice cold and I mean COLD. Ive tried turning it on normally and into bootloader mode but nothing happens... Im extremely worried, what happened to my beloved optimus g??? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Its been more than 1 hour and the phone is still cold and doesnt turn on...
Make sure it isn't plugged into anything. Hold both volumes and plug the USB into a computer. If it enters download mode, follow this guide: http://pastebin.com/g8hXBaaA

Ok I did get into download mode, I followed the tutorial, at 67% it rebooted, then at 85% it rebooted again and then it turned off. In the tutorial it says that the phone should turn on by itself but mine doesnt. I also tried pushing and holding the power button and nothing happens. Access to download mode is ok. Ive tried 2 times following the whole tutorial and im still stuck with a dead Optimus G... any more ideas please? help... :crying:

You voided your warranty when you unlocked your bootloader. To file a claim now, knowing you are in violation of the warranty, is fraud. You would be contributing to the rising cost of smartphones. Please don't file a fraudulent warranty claim which will end up costing us all more money.
We all know the risks involved. If you weren't prepared to accept those risks, you never should have messed with your phone in the first place. Please don't make everyone else pay for your mistake.

Thats why I was asking first... If im out of warranty because of this I understand, its my fault for messing with the phone in the first place...
Don't give up on it just yet. Maybe try opening up the case and disconnecting the battery. Not sure if that will work, but at this point, it can't hurt. If nothing else you can part it out on here or eBay. Used BL-T5 batteries are going for $40 on eBay for example.
I ran into this yesterday, it was due to a corrupt misc partition. just do this and you will be fine.
Restore the phone, it will stop at 85%
power off the device and hold volume down and power and do a factory reset.
restore the phone again and it will do 100% restore
after that copy misc.img to the sdcard
Now root the phone
after you have rooted download terminal emulator and open it
type su
grant SU permission
type
dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
if you want to use adb do this
open adb and type "adb shell" with out the quotes
type su
grant permission
type
dd if=/sdcard/misc.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
now you can unlock the bootloader and flash roms again.

Thank you, the thing is that I cannot get into download mode anymore... so I cannot restore/do anything with the phone at this point... any ideas? thanks!
ok yea i had that issue too. what you need to do is hold the power button so the phone is off, then have the USB plug ready and plugged in the PC. now this is the tricky part..
hold volume +/- at the same time and power then plug in the USB. you have to be quick. keep pushing till the DL mode pops up. if it dont work the first time keep trying. this worked for me lol

*OLD TUTORIAL*
Warning Just to let you know that this will Void your warranty you should already know that 
Also this may look really long but its short just somewhat really specific 
Hello Fellow Optimus L9 Users today I Bring you a tutorial on how to unlock bootloader the noob version for those who are new to rooting and stuff because there is another one that is more complicated and less specific but if you want to check it out heres
the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198114
Okay First to let you know that when you flash V20B_00.kdz the screen will get kind
of funky everything will be inverted and backwards so dont worry. And one more thing is
that when you boot up every single time after doing this the boot will be mirrored. Just
to let you know.
First Just want to thank "pinoyto" "Lelus" and "cmahendra"
Okay Now to Start Download the zip containing the files link here https://www.dropbox.com/s/uxwvkkp8yyyev0k/Bootloader Unlock .zip Files contained
in the zip are "Adb" "Recovery image" "V6.bin" and "V20_00.bin"
After youve downloaded extract the files to a folder for later use.
Now before we go to flash the V20.kdz enable "usb debugging"
Now go flash the kdz with this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36351786
1)Now after you've flashed then comes the screen problem just unlock and go throught the setup quickly
2) Connect your usb and make sure the usb debbuging icon pop-ups the little spider looking thing if thats enabled good
3) Okay next im not really sure if its needed but just do it change the usb
entrance to "LG Software Mode" to do this the simple way you need to disconnect usb and
connect again after than the options appear what type of usb entrance click on the back arrow
and it should select the "LG Software Mode"
4) Now we want to connect to the WiFi THIS IS NECESSARY FOR IT TO WORK go and connect to it
after that make sure you are connected by opening the browser or youtube and if a page or
video loads your set now go make yourself a coffee or some thing because now you have to wait
30 or more minutes
5) Ok now that the 30 minutes or more have passed you need to go to the downloaded files and move
the "Android" folder to your "C:\" drive "dont worry just has adb files" now open a command prompt and
type the following
"cd c:\Android"
"adb devices" to make sure your phone is connected a list of numbers should appear
"adb reboot oem-unlock" and your phone should then reboot
then the lg logo will appear then a mirrored confirmation to unlock bootloader just press
the "Volume Up" button and it will confirm it then hold the power button until it reboots
6) Now we need to go to "rooted 10g" again just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465
and follow every single instruction but when you are about to enter the flashing process instead
of "Emergency" mode you need to put it to "Diag" mode and then start the flashing process
7) After you are done with that you cant boot so you must perform a wipe and the way of doing that
is too have phone off hold "Power button + Volume Down + Home Button" then you should see
a android with the little globe and a loading bar after its done it will turn off then
now reboot and after it boot it will be mirrored you can fix that but in my opinion it is a little more confusing
because the screen is still messed up the whole left side is inverted with the right side but if you still want to remove the mirror
you must press the power button once to turn off screen then again to turn on and it will be fixed but the touch is still inverted
8) Now go through setup and enable usb debugging and then u need to go to the superuser app
and if you dont have it you did not do the root process correctly go to it again "and if you need help just pm me"
open the app and update the binary after that go to your computer and open command promt again
and enter the following commands but before you must put the v6.bin file to your external sd card it is in the downloaded files after you have put it to the root
of your external sd card enter the following commands
"cd c:\Android"
"adb shell"
"su" when you enter this go to your phone and accept the su request
"cat /sdcard/external_sd/v6.bin > /sys/devices/virtual/input/lge_touch/firmware"
after you entered the last command you need to close that command promt and open
another one and type the following commands
"cd c:\Android"
"adb shell"
"su"
"reboot" then it will reboot and the touch will corectly work remember the mirrored problem will continue
to occur on your phone like i said just turn off screen then turn it on and it will be fixed
Now you have unlocked bootloader 
If you want to install the cm10 rom the optimus L9 has as of right now you
have to do the following
1) Go to the app store and search for the app called "Nandroid Manager ROOT"
download the app and open it then go to flash recovery you must first put the recovery from the downloaded file to the
root of you external sd card and then go to the app and search for the recovery and flash it.
After you flash it you will have a recovery on your phone
(just to let you know it will be mirrored) but to boot to recovery you must turn off the phone
and then hold the "Volume UP + Home Button + Power Button"
now go download the cm10 rom from here " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2216542 " put the file to the root of your sd card and then reboot to recovery and then to flash you will need to "wipe system, wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache then flash" after you flash the zip reboot and you will have CM10 Hope This helped

Just unlocked bootloader on my phone. Looks like having SIM card with data is a must. Tried all day yesterday on WiFi, never worked. Finally bought a SIM unlock code on eBay and used my StraightTalk SIM card. Reverted back v10G, set everything up (had to type APNs manually), turned WiFi off and verified that data works. Flashed v20B again, verified that WiFi is still off and data is on, waited for about half hour. Unlocked on the first try.
So whoever is having troubles, looks like you just need working SIM with data and WiFi it not really necessary.

I have straight talk tmobile sim with no apn setup and WiFi on for it to work for me.
I kept waiting 30 mins x3 because I had taken my sim and SD card out due to fear of damage. So I second that keep the sim in and WiFi on (made a guest ssid for one click connect).
@nevkuril do you have st att or tmo? If tmo, I know its late but the tmo sim works without the need for carrier unlock.

Possible but I wanted to unlock anyway, it's just too simple not to do that.
ok so, sometime last week i grabbed my phone after my girlfriend was on it. (common) unlocked it, and the screen froze. i didnt think anything of it. mostly bc it has never happened. so i took the battery out and tried to turn it back on... well it stays on the LG LOGO for about 5-10 minutes then goes to a white screen and it says "ENCRYPTING" with a bar below it and below that it says "reset phone" it does nothing. i have had it on the charger trying to figure out what is wrong, nothing works, no soft reset, no hard reset. nothing. and i cant find any information on this anywhere.?!?!?!? am i the only one that this is happening to??? ATTENTION THE PHONE IS STOCK!

You have to flash the stock ROM again. Use the Lelus offline flash method and you should bee fine.

I'm interested in running a custom Rom on my mpcs LG f6 (ms500). I'm a part timer at this, my understanding of code is devastatingly deficient.
I have a an l9 and another f6 that won't even turn on and I'm wondering where, even, to begin.
All are mpcs.
All three, including the one I'm writing this on presently, were/are rooted.
An update took out the non-working f6, and the l9 was my bad.
I'm now on a rooted f6 running battery booster pro, overclocked with freedom kernal, with roehsoft ram expander doubling my ram to 1608.
I realize my circumstances are all over the place, but, if anyone has the genuine benevolence to help me where they can; my gratitude will be unquantifiable.

Thank you AshIndigo
L9 rooted and running system tuner pro. I turned on the oem battery function, kernal, doo-hicky (highly technical terminology). The unit ceased recognizing the battery after reboot. It stated, at boot, to insert oem battery and will not take a charge.
I'm considering a wipe and a new bootlaoder with a custom Rom if possible, but I'll settle with just getting it working.

Thank you AshIndigo
L9 rooted and running system tuner pro. I turned on the oem battery function, kernal, doo-hicky (highly technical terminology). The unit ceased recognizing the battery after reboot. It stated, at boot, to insert oem battery and will not take a charge.

Thats a new one. But what modes can you get into. S/W, fastboot, recovery, the wipe combination? If you can get into s/w mode just use the lg mobile tool and that should fix it. Otherwise we may need to reflash the phone. and is your bootloader unlocked?
It doesn't power up in the slightest. And it won't charge.
Bootloader was not unlocked, I'm still trying to wrap my skull jelly around that. I'm thinking flash might be the best option, but I'd prefer to preserve the data (not likely if flashed). I've downloaded LG flash tool, but the manual data entry is a mystery, excluding imei and serial.

Alright I'm presuming s/w mode doesnt work but if it does then that would be nice. Next thing is to try fastboot. Here is a link to a fastboot for the l9

If you manage to get into fastboot. We can reflash things. Truth to be told I dont know if we reflash we might have to wipe the device. :/
I've resolved myself to things being what they are.
What's s/w mode?

Downloaded, followed instructions. Device booted once and quit while playing around with it, consistent with initial failure as I recall (if only vaguely), now on s/w update screen. Says please wait while upgrading.
Update:
Can enter s/w update. Now takes charge, will likely be 100% by the time you read this.
Lastly, can power on but powers off after entering screen unlock code.
Thank you again AshIndigo.
After some more dabbling, I've made it past the lock screen. The result is a message " please use genuine LG battery" before the unit shuts down and goes into what might might questionably be a bootloop. It's the system tuner pro app, set to start on start-up, that's the thorn in my side.
What are your orders captain?

Sorry for replying late but if you have adb enabled we can uninstall the app easily. This should be the command to remove it.
adb uninstall ccc71.pmw.pro

No apologies needed, your time is greatly appreciated.
I ran the command, with what appears to be success. It seems though, the kernal remains intact.
A wipe seems imminent.

(I just deleted everything I wrote and have to write it again )
Ok so before we try to re-flash the kernel. Lets just try the lg mobile support tool. If that doesn't work then heres instructions
1. If you have the p760 then heres the stock kernel
http://www.mediafire.com/download/87i322233ev36k8/stock-kernel.zip
3. Download it
4. extract the boot.img from the zips and put it into the "yours" folder in the fastboot folder
5. Get into fastboot
6. Make sure the device is connected by typing "fastboot devices"
(It should look like this) http://cdn.teamandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/fastboot-devices-600x302.jpg
6a. Pray to Google
7. type "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
8. Pray again.
If you don't have the p760 then tell me which device you have so I can get the kernel
@ AshIndigo
P769BK

Golden, you missed your calling.
It's a P769(bk). Not that the color makes a difference. It's also a T-mo, not mpcs. If that matters.

I dont think I've missed it yet
Alright so there are 2 options right now.
1. You resign the kernel or wait for me to get on a windows computer so I can resign it.
2. You unlock your bootloader.
If you choose option 1 then and you want to try then here's the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/optimus-l9/general/guide-install-custom-roms-locked-t3249828
And here's the link to the kernel
http://d-h.st/pdM
1. Follow the manual instructions in the post except just do it for the boot.img and flash that instead.
"fastboot flash boot boot_bumped.img"
If you choose option 2 then here's a link with instructions. (My phone is perma-locked so I never got to try this)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601480 (Wish you luck if you try this)
If anything is unclear let me know.
