That is pretty much your only option now, unfortunately.

thanks .. do you think i can just use teenybin to gain unlock and recovery after stock bin then use the backup i made prior to the encryption?
I can't say, never had a reason to mess with Teenybin, and I did the Nexus 4 conversion at one point but have successfully gone back to pure stock and now I'm testing out KitKat as well. Just not willing to chance it since I have no need for Teenybin's features I suppose. Maybe someone else can chime in on that aspect.

omg... i did stock bin and phone is back at encryption unsuccessful screen .... am i done ?....
i hit reset phone button .... this time it worked ... phone back to 100 stock ... im sacred ****less now lol afraid to even touch it
It's somewhat difficult to truly brick most devices nowadays, takes some pretty serious pooching to make it completely useless.
just used teenybin to gain unlock and recovery, and then booted into recovery and restored my old backup :laugh: i think i will stay stock for a while after this haha
* Put your phone emergency mode
* download LGNPST with dll to your phone
* download tot file 4.1.2
* make a full recovery..

So, the member neil_swann80 is in trouble because Flashtool seems to be rogue on him, so he asked for a Nandroid backup of a stock ROM. If I recall correctly he even offered monetary incentive: if this works, for him, I would rather have it go to XDA.
http://www.megaupload.com/?f=AIYYLQAP
That's the back-up: as usual in my uploads, it's a .7z file divided in parts (2 in this case): just extract the first one and the rest will ensue. I like to keep the download count so I would kindly ask not to mirror it.
It's a completely untouched CWM backup of the latest stock ROM for the R800i (it even has the clock set on 1980 or something). For him, and for everyone else: if you want to use this, extract the files and copy the resulting folder to the /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory of your Xperia Play. Run CWM, go to Backup and Restore-Restore and select the folder (by default called NeilSwann).
I don't provide any kernel as you can use DoomLord's, which is compatible with stock ROMs and is orders of magnitude more functional than the stock one.
Would this work for cdma. I'm on the Verizon r800x..

I've restored the nandroid backup you uploaded, my phone hangs on the SE logo now. I got the swirly boot up animation which was new. I guess I screwed my phone more than I thought. I think I may have to accept defeat on this one now.

Sounds like a nand issue, Send it back for repair. It's still under warranty
Do you think if I re-lock the bootloader, restore this nandroid... they'll repair?

Bricked LG US760
Hello to all. I have a bricked LG Genesis (US760) from US Cellular. Can anyone tell me what steps to take and unbrick this phone. It was given to me and I just want to see if I can do it. Any and all help would surely be appreciated.
Thanks.
There's like no support for that device

I have a us760 LG Genesis. I rooted mine using gingerbreak app. Worked great. Very easy. Installed busy box using busybox from market. But you are right there is no support for this phone. No custom recovery that I am aware of. No custom roms. I am running Launcher Pro Plus. I have done a system clean using Diagnosis app from market and it seems to run faster. Elixir2 from market is able to set cpu governers and freeze the US Cellular installed apps. The only problem I have now is the external speaker isn't very loud. Which has been a problem for me on a couple of LG phones. I am currently looking for a fix/mod for the volume. With no luck so far, since there is no custom recovery available. I would try to install the bravia/xloud and see if anything changes, but again, no custom recovery. Any suggestions about this would be helpful.

Hey guys. I am not from around here. You will normally find me hanging out in the Nexus forums. I need some help trying to correct an issue my noob buddy caused on his E970. He brought it to me today in a boot loop and apparently he rooted it an uninstalled some GAPPS and now he has this security error and BL. Now, so far I have managed to install the drivers..... that's it. I have worked on a variety of different devices but I am really having trouble with this. I think the issue is I can not find a thread that is comprehensive enough to explain what alot of the different tools are and what they do. I mean there is
1. LGNPST
2. Teenybin
3. Freegee or something like that
Then there about 14 different file types depending on the tool you are using. I have seen;
1. dll
2. bin
3. kdz
4. tot
I have to be honest with you guys this is confusing as hell. I keep coming across dead links and old downloads and stuff that may not work. I REALLY don't like using stuff not linked from XDA as that is all I've known for many years (not to say other sites aren't reputable but you never know) I can follow instructions and figure out most stuff on my own but due to the in completion of alot of this stuff and dead links I am kinda stuck I am gonna give it another go tomorrow but in the meantime if someone wants to drop me a link or word of advice as to where to at least start it would be awesome. I am pretty handy generally with this kind of thing but I guess that goes to show you sometimes you are only as good as the tools and directions you are working with. Thanks XDA Community! :good:
Okay the first three.
3.lgnpst is the program you will need to use to fix the security error which was caused by removing bloat without unlocking bootloader.
2.teenybin is used with lgnpst to unlock bootloader, update partitions to jb, and install recovery. It doesn't install firmware but could be used to restore if a rom was copied to sd to flash.
3.freegee is used to unlock bootloader and install recovery on a working phone.
Next four.
1.dll are files needed by windows.
2.bin is the extension the file needs to be for using lgnpst.
3.kdz is stock firmware for use with lgflashtool (used mainly for international phones)
4.tot is the extension the stock firmware is released with which will be renamed to bin before using lgnpst.
In the additional info section of teenbin thread there is a click to show content button that will have have links and guide for lgnpst. Use the tSilenzio version and it will register the DLL files on install.

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed. Someone just to say "these are what these things are and what they do". I do have to admit I don't fault my buddy too much for soft bricking this thing as of all the devices I've rooted or flashed to this seems the most confusing. And also it's very odd that if you remove BW without first unlocking the bootloader you get this error..... Why can't they all just be as easy as a Nexus? Lol.

Well its especially difficult when someone just brings you a phone and you've never even seen it booted up and you don't know all the weird quirky rules it has (like if you uninstall GAPPS without unlocking the bootloader then you get a bootloop.) lol Otherwise it seems like a solid phone. It has almost the same specs as my Nexus 4.

This link is for a flashable zip of rooted stock jb. If you used the teenybin files with lgnpst then flashed it with recovery the end result would be stock rom with unlocked bootloader, root, and custom recovery.

Yes, once you're unlocked & rooted you will be good to go. I would recommend flashing an established rom and installing the GApps that are recommended. It would be a lot more convenient and less of a hassle.
Make sure you are using TWRP, CWM was causing bugs with flashing of some roms. Hope this helps.

Awesome and once I've flashed a good rom. Would that then circumvent any future boatloads caused by modifications etc.? So in other words are those proprietary (catches) cooked out when the devs set up a rom? I would imagine so. I know most of us folks hate that kinda thing... Lol
BTW any tips on a good solid stable Jelly Bean Rom? Would want it to be pretty stable since it's not my phone... Lol

So after a couple of years messing with my android phones and learning all about android I decided to take a try building my own ROM. I did a couple of months of research and finally built slimkat from their source...I know intimately I will have to flash it to see if it works but is there any way I could check it out to make sure its ok to flash? If I did something wrong I'm assuming it could brick my phone. I compared it to the most recent slimkat on their site and my zip is about 5 MBS larger than the one on their site.
Can anyone suggest what I should do before flashing it on my phone,

mdamaged said:
I'd suggest you install MultiROM, and that way you can install your rom as a secondary ROM, if you decide to keep it you can use MR's swap ROM function.
If you do not want to use MR, then just make a nandroid of what you have now, then wipe and flash the new ROM, so if something does not work right, you can always go back using the nandroid.

(Had some other info but it was based on the fact you had a Nexus device which you don't)
If you are worried about bricking your device at every little turn, then you should probably just stick to what you use now, and toss out the ROM you built. Nandroid and try, or just forget the whole thing.
FWIW, MR does not support the d801 T-Mobile g2...so forget MR.

nevermind, i flashed it and it worked like a charm. thanks for the advice.
I have just achieved root with a tool called Towelroot.exe, now I would like to install a custom recovery but my device isn't listed in Rom Manager.
Is it safe to flash recovery from a device that is similar to mine?
How do I go about finding the right recovery so I can do a nandroid backup for my phone. I would also like to flash Cyanogenmod so that I may customize my device.
Any help would be very appreciated.
I'm rooted also!

Galaxy Ace Style sm-s765c Stock recovery sucks
Anyone know what my Galaxy Ace Style sm-s765c compares to, I think it's close to the s3 mini except that it has 512MB ram and the s3 mini has a gig I think.
This stock recovery doesn't even have an option to make a backup, what the hell were they thinking. What in the heck would you do if something happpend with your stock os and you needed to restore it or something like that.
I would sure like some help with this, to understand why I just can't throw a recovery that was close to my system onto mine, How bad could it be would it really screw up the booting process? They all boot the same don't they? I would think it would be safe just as long as it's the same os version right?

Which one is my actuall sdcard? I think it's the extsdcard but I'm not sure.

Hi use towelroot.apk from towelroot.com and tap welcome to towel root 3 times when the box at the bottom comes up change the 1 to a zero so it will look like 1337 0 0 0 4 0 tap make it rain and the device is rooted, reboot the phone first and it will hold root.
Howdy yall...lol. I would like to let you all know I have decompiled the hiddenmenu.apk within the system/app folder and guess what if we can get to these hidden menus it has options to turn off secure settings, however it does require a key.......I just send an email to the samsung dev responsible for handling the keys, will keep you posted also I will post the dialpad codes soon so keep your eyes peeled here.
