I have bricked my phone-LG Optimus Net P690! All I get is LG logo coming and going in loop. I somehow got into emergency mode, what should I do?
I just clicked on 'backup current ROM', I didn't even replaced my original ROM! Please help my dad is going to kill me, its just a week old phone. Reply ASAP!

I hope you have warranty card.Just go to the dealer and complain that phone is not booting and has caused you so much inconvenience.Go to the service center told by him of LG and get the rom replaced freely.Just don't tell anything about your hacks.Complain them saying the phone is misbehaving.

Yes I do have warranty card, but there must be something I can try to fix it at home itself?

Try to search this forum for your phone.

*forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=839

You need to reprogram your firmware with appropriate one following instruction carefully.Try asking someone there with new thread at appropriate section of lg.

I can help you with samsung but not sure of lg.Try this-

Found the ROM a 140 MB file downloading will take ~1 hr and KDZ software, lets see what happens.

^^ how it bricked? let me guess. you rooted. downloaded rom manager & clicked backup current rom or flashed clockworkmod recovery. boot into recovery. clicked backup rom/nand backup. rebooted and mobile shows LG Logo. if this is true, then we are both in the same boat :razz:

secondly, this is not bricking, lol. you corrupted boot image and hence it can't boot. all you need to do is flash stock rom using kdz updater and your mobile will be back to normal. but remember to go to device manager and under modem disable LGE modem if there is anything listed like that. fail to do and you may permanently damage your mobile. forget LG service. this is homework for most. enjoy :grin:

on a side note, avoid using clockworkmod recovery. switch to amonra or TWRP recovery.

^Yes I did exactly that - clicked on backup current rom. I was so freaked out :shock:
thanks @gopi_vbboy for that link and I downloaded ROM using this, KDZ from here.
Ahhh.. finally relieved! Though everything in phone got deleted! I have apps on SD card will they be detected?

I actually upgraded firmwire its now 2.3.4 earlier it was 2.3.3 :mrgreen:

A query - I do not want to flash my mobile yet, but I do want to remove bloatware. If I remove a inbuilt app using titanium backup & did hard reset in future will it cause any problems?

this is why i advice everyone with LG Optimus mobiles to stick to Amonra. much better and safe.

nice to know mobile back to normal.

yes, apps will be deleted. you have part of an app in sdcard. so the phone part is gone, memory card transferred part will be useless.

I actually upgraded firmwire its now 2.3.4 earlier it was 2.3.3 :mrgreen:

but do check if 2.3.4 is rootable.

hard reset will take your mobile back to factory state but without the apps you have deleted.

also if you want to delete any app, first post here. don't delete apps blindly. some apps may look as bloatware but system requires them.

OK. Any app I uninstall will be gone forever. Nice!
These are the apps which should be safe to remove a/c to me - Polaris Viewer, Finance, LG Home, LG World, News, Social+, Smart Share & Remote Call.
BTW I got all my old apps thanks to titanium backup. If I change ROM and restore apps using titanium will they work?

before removing LG home, install a new launcher. else you'll get a blank screen.

that i am not much sure of. some of the time titanium backup fails to work or restore.

if you could have charged your battery using someone else's motorola (i used to charged my Motorola E6e's battery on a L6i :grin: ) that should be possible.

OK everything else is good, new update reduces hardware load a lot. Especially RAM earlier it was ~80-100 MB free now its ~200MB free always! :razz:

And I got LauncherPro its nice and fast, also tried GO launcher but it was too much. Would you name some 'must have' apps please?
coderunknown
Feb 18, 2012 at 12:57 PM
fast reboot, notes, 1tap cleaner, shootme, tapatalk (first one is pulled off market, second one is paid app), ES file explorer. you may also have spare parts. rest are like sms app, contact app, 3G watchdog, etc.
