Hello This may sound totally crazy..... try a battery pull with the battery out hold the power button for 20 secs then put the battery back in and restart it....If it was the boot animation I would think it was bricked but The LG splash can be due to alot of stuff.... But I remember reading about a problem that happen with an lg ally but the same principal should apply
 
I followed your steps
1)take out battery
2)hold power button for 20 secs
3)put battery in and turn on the phone
it didnt work but thx for trying to help =D

YouTube - how to unbrick lg optimus t ( look at the video description ) Thanks david913250

Here is the directions
download
Stock-Factory-Optimus_T_Flash.zip - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download and extract it and install msxml also install LGUSBModemDriver

then plug your phone to the computer and then take the battery off your phone put it back and turn it on holding ((volume up+back or try volume up+home)) its gonna take you to a green screen where it say emergency mode

then while your phone stills on emergency mode install adb from here: What Is ADB And How To Install It With Android SDK


when your done with adb set up, open KDZ program from the first download i gave you and
set the options to this

type:3GQCT phone mode:emergency

now click the little folder where it says browse and chose V10L_00.kdz this file comes from the fist download i gave you when you browse the file click on launch software update and let the program do its thing

if it doen't work and says phone not found just tell me))and if it does its gonna take like 5 to 10 minutes when its done its gonna reboot and take you to a recovery mode and dont touch anything from that take off the battery and turn on your phone normaly ,its gona give you a factory reset how it came out new
 
when i take the battery when its plug in the computer its still on.
and when i turn it on, i have to take out the battery if i want it off

I will do more research this is bugging me now i am going to solve this issue if it kills me ha from the pics it looks like the phone was turned on before you pluged it in or did it turn on when you plugged it in try turning the phone on in emergancy mode without plugging it in first then if it goes into emergancy mode plug it in
 
turn on when you plugged it
with and without battery i cant do it no matter what, i cant turn off by pressing the button...
i cant enter emergency mode i press home+vol up and back vol-
and it takes me to the lg screen this is my attempts
1.turn on then i press vol+ home for 10 sec then i take out battery and turn on again
2.same thing as number one but vol- back
3.i press them all together and wont work
4.when phone plugged in turns on by it self when battery is there , take out ,then plug it back in and nothing happens also plugged out battery (yeah its still on :mad:)
5)i really starting to throw my phone at the wall,burn it,then throw it in the toilet.

This may seem like a stupid question but when you flashed it did you clear the data and cache...... if not that may be you answer...... do you know anything about adb? just wipe your data using that.....

If that doesn't work try this [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P500 - xda-developers

Sorry I was unable to help If I was able to have the phone in my hands It should take me like 10 minutes to fix.....
 
I read this post and was in the same situation with the individual. I was very disappointed that I could not unbrick my phone inspite offollowing your repeated suggestions. I think, I needed afile to complete the process in using the KDZ program. Do you happen to have a copy of "V10L_00.KDZ"? Right now, I'm stuck with a blue screen with a message:
Fastboot mode started
gpio_i2c: invalid khz: 0
bI: i2c write error
udc_start ( )
Do you know how to get out of this mess?
I rooted my phone with SuperOneClick 1.9.1
then I use Rom manage with CWM 7, that's where I messed up my phone.
Please help.
 
Ok I don't know much about the phone. Iv only installed CM7 on it.....

Here is a couple things I found...... don't worry if it calls it a different Optimus that is due to the different carrries.....
ie Optimus T = Tmo
Optimus S = Sprint


If these guides don't work or would like me to explain it better my gtalk is

[HOWTO] Revive a bricked P500 on fastboot mode (the SHORT way) - xda-developers

xda-developers - View Single Post - Cannot Boot up LG Optimus M


The only time I bricked this phone was awhile after I installed it I had to boot into safemode and then power it off and it worked fine.

It looks as if you may have flashed the wrong recovery. Don't panic (yet)
I have also subscribed to this topic so I can keep track of it.
