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?

Can you get me to where you are? Step by step would be nice
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.

Nothing happened. Just that blue screen.
Looking in my SD card I noticed I have a backup of the recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0-vm670 file. This anything helpful?

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.
After downloading this rom and thinking everything would be just fine when moving to CM7 on my brother's rooted Photon, I come to a boot loop! I tried to use RSDLite to flash a SBF over to the phone, it fails, I try to use Android' Recovery to flash a new rom, fails, and then I try to factory reset and wipe the phone, FAILS! I have no clue what to do here.
I am so used to my Sensation 4G and everything is so much simpler on it, but I have no clue what I am doing with this Photon. Can someone please point me in the right direction of what I need to do? I need some real answers! I've tried tons of guides here on the forums but nothing seems to work!
Normally I could use CWM to fix it all up, but I never could find it for this phone!
Help!
bump. Please, need help.

if you dont have cwm installed, i assume that you flashed that rom while in bootstrap recovery because you didnt state that the phones bootloader was unlocked.That particular rom is an unlocked only rom, which is why you're stuck in that loop. If I'm right and you flashed that rom via bootstrap, you should be able to get back into it by powering down the phone, holding power and volume down, then using the volume down key to cycle through the options until you hit 'android recovery', then press volume up to boot into it.
At that point, go to mounts and storage, mount usb storage while phone is plugged into your pc, and place this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648297
On your sd card. After this, go back into mounts and storage and wipe data, system, and cache. Flash the rom you just placed onto your sd card and reboot.
Again, this is all asuming you installed bootstrap recovery, if I'm wrong let me know and ill try to help you further.
I forgot to add, you're also going to need to download a stock blur kernel and place that on your sd card aswell, flashing it after you flash the rom. I can't remember where to find the stock blur kernel but give me a second and ill try to find it for ya.
I don't find that very professional. I think the best you can do is tell me which section it belongs in. At least Acvice offered help...
Thanks you so much! I knew I would have to flash the stock stuff, but I just couldn't find it! Yes, I used bootstrap as I thought it was the only means of getting into cwm. I wont be screwing around after this. Only problem is, the phone is dead! I need to charge it again lol. Thanks for helping. Ill let you know the outcome later.

So I am downloading that rom you gave me, seems like a good one, now I am just waiting on the Kernel, have you found it yet? Oh, and I couldn't mount my phone through recovery, so I just took the SD card out and did it myself.
EDIT: I tried to install the rom, I got an E: signature verification failed and the installation aborted. I've also tried this with other roms before. What is making this happen?

Meh, you just flashed something you shouldnt have is all. It honestly happens to all of us. You learn the most by screwing up your phone haha.. Figured i would have you try that method as it would have gotten you a nice fast rom and also fixed your problem. But it looks like youre just unlucky. Were just gonna have to get ya back on stock by flashing an SBF.
1) Download the Windows Moto drivers and install them. Make sure you choose 32bit or 64bit, respectively. (quick google search)
2) Download RSD Lite (quick google search)
3) Download the SBF located here and unzip it.
Use this video to guide you through. Some of his links are outdated which is why i linked the one above. If you are used to ODIN on Samsung devices, you'll probably already know what to do as it's the same kind of program. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.
I've tried RSDLite with an Sbf before, it never succeeded.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda app-developers app
Is it possible to flash an sbf with a low battery? If not, how can I charge this thing?
Hello, I am new to this whole smartphone world, and I have no idea what to do next.
I asked in multiple forums why my new battery's life sucks even after calibration, which after reboot the battery goes from 65% to 98%, everytime.
So I was told to get CWM for my atrix, and last time I did, I almost got bricked. I got this error:
SVF:105.1:2
Failed to boot 0X1000 -- I always thought this was a HARD BRICK
I have root access and unlocked, using T-Mobile, and everytime it boots it says "unlocked" at the top during the Motorola logo.
So what are my steps to get CWM on the phone (for 2.3.6), and will my phone still work with t mobile, and will my battery not die in 20 minutes of reading text?
You can install CWM, either through fastboot (recommended) or through ROM Manager (personally I dislike it). However I don't think any of this is likely to fix your battery issues. Unless you're seriously exaggerating, your battery draining so fast could indicate some hardware problems. Might just be time for a new battery.

Oh I see. Could you provide me a link, can't seem to find one for 2.3.6.
Also the battery is BRAND NEW, got it yesterday in the mail, and the phone is new as well.
Hm, then I guess it shouldn't be a hardware failure.
CWM has nothing to do with your OS or its version. Just flash whichever you want (the latest version would make the most sense).

Ah okay, would I get this error again:
SVF:105.1:2
Failed to boot 0X1000
Also flashing CWM doesn't delete stuff right? Only flashing custom ROMS does?
I don't know if you'll get that error or not, but that error is easily solvable. Yes, like I said, CWM has nothing to do with your normal system unless you're flashing the system through CWM.
Please read this thread, most things are already explained there.

Okay! well how do I install CWM, nobody explains anything. I can;t find any steps anywhere. There are some, but say just flash it. Well what commands do I put in cmd? Idk what to do...
----------------
Okay I installed CWM recovery, but when I go into "android recovery" I don;t see all the the options. I mean I get past the triangle, but I only see four options.
Did I get cwm recovery or not? I followed the steps installing the .img file.
What options do you see? And what exactly did you install, and from where?
It's possible you installed some older version. Personally I use RomRacer's recovery which is based on CWM, pretty happy with it.

I used the link you provided the second post shows how to load fastboot, and the third post show how to flash the recovery, and I used this: the latest CWM recovery from here, which is the newest.
I see reboot at the top
"wipe data/factory reset"
wipe cache partition
and wipe baseband data
can I follow this? I did this before and bricked the phone
Hm. Not sure why you'd want to follow some random tutorials on random sites. Everything you need is available on this forum alone.
Also, no idea why you see only those options, there should be much more AFAIK...
I'm using this recovery, it might be old but it's rock-solid, reliable and dependable. Might want to try with that one. The procedure is the same, just with a different IMG file.

GOT IT!!!! Finally! my computer was acting weird and I guess the moto drivers didn't install properly. After reboot and new drivers on comp, it flashed fine and I am in cwm recovery. I flashed this: 0408_1720-signed.apk
so I guess from there could I clear the battery stats, after 100% charge, then let die and charge again off?

Yes, it's worth a shot. Won't do any harm and it might just fix your problem.
MY GOD PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM!!!
So after installing cwm recovery. I wanted to fix the crappy battery, so I let the phone on until it died, and connected the phone to the wall charger, and it boots into CWM automatically.
I don't even see the charge screen. After hitting reboot, the phone than boots into the normal android OS.
SO HOW can I charge the phone when it's off, without having it turn on by itself?
---
Okay WTH! Now it boots fine, but won't get into CWM recovery. Even selecting android recovery takes me to the crappy stock recovery with the four options only. WTH is wrong?
I am going back to $10 phones.
Good bye.
Hmm, I don't know... Either you're doing something wrong (no idea what) or your device is borked in some way.
Maybe someone else can chime in...
I recently tried to flash energy rom via CWM. Everything seemed to work fine. Booted up to asus screen and stopped. Now will not boot past that. Here is what has been done so far:
rooted and unlocked
no nvflash
no recovery backup created
I used WSG unbricker and lost recovery mode and made no headway
I can boot to fastboot
Tried flashing multiple recovery images and roms and latest firmware blob from asus
I have wiped data
Maybe I am doing something wrong in fastboot or the order. Maybe I have to wipe or partition first. Maybe I tried flashing JB bootloader on ICS. I do not not know my current bootloader either. Please tell me there is a solution. I feel that since I have fastboot there is hope. Also I have never posted before, but I feel that I have read most threads will no avail so I need direction. Help would be greatly appreciated.

When you get to the screen where fastboot icon is, up the top left there is a line with bootloader written in it. At the end of that line is a number starting with 9 or 10. 9 is ICS bootloader and 10 is JB bootloader.
Give me that number and we can go from there.

You're saying when you hold down the power button and volume down together for about 5-10 seconds and you get to the screen with icons on it (wipe,fastboot etc) you have no writing in the top left at all ?
All it says is "os will cold boot in 10 secs if selected mode is not confirmed" wipe data or fastboot. It used to say some stuff until I used wsg unlocker. That is where I had the option of recovery.
And just to be clear. The OS does not cold boot after 10 secs. All it does is just confirm wichever option is highlighted.

Ok mate, when the tablet first come on where is the tegra logo?
I do remember that my firmware before trying energy rom was 4.x.28 I just cannot remember what the middle number was. but definitely ended in 28 if that helps.

Yo.
So nothing whatsoever seems to be able to make this phone boot into recovery. Whether its a soft or hard boot, it just will not happen. It will always boot as normal. I'm so frustrated and completely stumped.
Any ideas?

Ah man, you've got me. This is all in the hope of installing a custom rom. Installing the recovery was one of a few things I hadn't done before. I think I did it using Fastboot. I've got a head like a sieve. More frustratingly, my own PC died a death a few days ago, so A) I haven't got whatever stuff I downloaded so cant refer to that to see what I did, and B) anything from here on would ideally be done without a computer, although I could probably borrow one if needed. Can you use Fastboot to install a custom recovery? If so, then thats how I did it. I remember downloading a .img file on the PC and doing something from there. Sorry I couldn't be more clear, and thanks for your help buddy.
Sorry, I missed the second question there. I have tried a number of ways to boot into recovery. Holding vol-up or vol-down while powering on, or a handful of apps that have a boot into recovery option. I've tried using CWM's Rom Manager to install the PA rom .img I have saved on the phone, but that is telling me I need to install CW recovery, and then says its not available for my device. Confused as hell about that one. I feel that once I'm in recovery I'm golden. I don't know if this is relevant, but at the minute, I don't have write access to /system, so I guess this would be a half root job.
You still having issues? I can help and yes you will need a computer and you will need to download the android SDK and set that up.. Let me know
