Root help me i bricked my phone

tiffngrims said:
Hi. I have a huge problem and I am so stressed because some of the people in these forums are awfully mean and I am already having a bad enough time, Plus I have been searching for 3 days and found no working solution. I love my phone and I fear I may just have to give up all hope, but I am just not quite ready to let go....
Seriously tho, I rooted my Optimus S and I had a hell of a time getting a recovery to work finally thunderc did the trick. then I added thundeRom, and I had it about to weeks when I came across this cool ROM called cyanogen nightly so I just had to have it. Well then my phone wouldn't flash into recovery. I tried installing many recoveries none would work.
After so many failed attempts I kept getting permission denied. I remembered that before I rooted I had the same problem and after I did a factory reset and wiped my phone clean it worked, So I did that again and I pretty sure it bricked, only I have not found any other post where the symptoms were just like mine. My phone will only blink LG nothing else.
I did back up with titanium before this and I had a nandroid backup also. Is there any hope? Does anyone know what may have happened with my recovery before this happened? It was working fine. I have not been this long without a phone in at least 10 years. Please help I would greatly appreciate it. thanks.

Have you tried posting this in the optimus s forum? I'm pretty sure you will be able to flash back to stock and start over, but there are different methods for different phones and you will need the stock recovery files. You will probably have better luck getting help from the people who have experience with that particular phone. Good luck.

I dont know much about your phone, but try holding vol up, home key, and power and see if that gets you into recovery. In the mean time I will try and do a little more research and see If I can find a solution for ya.

First off what rom are you running? If your running stock did you do a backup before trying to install new rom? Do you have cwm installed? Please provide a few more details so we can better help you.

If you can get your phone flashed backed to stock, I suggest you root it with Z4root,then maybe start out with Icarus. You will find detailed instructions in the all things root section. Get Cwm 2.5.1.8 and start from there...Also make sure you are using a card reader this will simplify things in the future.... If you need detailed instructions feel free to pm me, I will walk you through it...:D Happy Ascending!!!

boot into fastboot by pressing vol down, end key, and tap power...it should stay on the white huawei screen. than extract the recovery you download...connect phone to usb while the huawei whit screen is still on than run fastboot-windows first, than run metroPCSStock-windows.bat, once its finish the phone will reboot on its on.
