ok sounds like you have a ruu still running in the background. how did you root your phone? do you remember what your hboot was? answer that then i can provide you with the right ruu that will at least get your phone working again.
 
sorry i just read your other thread. you mentioned your radios. did you
by chance update it when this happened? did you have a PC36IMG file on your card?
 
yes i updated my radios had no pc36img file on sd at the time but i cant even get into bootloader every time i hit vol or power butt it goes straight to the phone with the green arrows

what about power+vol down? so you can't power your phone up at all?

lets try this ruu:
RUU_SuperSonic_GB_Sprint_WWE_4.54.651.1

download this to your computer and hook your phone to the pc when it prompts you to do it. this will give you a stock rom and recovery. you will need to install a custom recovery after it is done. do not worry this will not unroot you. you will have s-off just no custom recovery.

go here:

if the above file does not work then we can try a PC36IMG file next
 
trying the ruu file i already put a pc36img file on sd card via card reader no luck im not sure if my comp is recognizing my phone also it has when plugged into comp sometyimes it automatically goes to my trouble screen and sometimes it stays off and the orange led charging flasher comes on flashes a few times then stays on

the ruu i linked is to be run on the computer. get your phone to where you get the green arrows and the run the ruu.

what exactly did you do prior to this happening?

which PC36IMG file did you use? did you name it right? it needs to be exactly PC36IMG and remember that windows hides extensions by default. so do not add an extra zip to the end.

please answer all that i aksed for so that i can help you better.
 
like i said i restored my nandroid and reflashed my radio and rebooted and then it was takin forever and a day on the screen im stuck at now and i thought it was normal at first cause it did the same when i flashed the anthrax kernal earlier but it stayed at that screen so eventually i took the batt out ooops hope i didnt brick it

downloading the new one now and going to try it basically they start up and say connect and power up ur android device so i do then it trys to find it but cant ../this ruu do i put it on my sd card just asking since i have to rename it llike i say i cant get into bootloader and pc wont read that my phone is connected but it will flash the led like its charging and before this happened i know i had usb debugging enabled so dunno.
 
ok so this sounds like you might have bricked your phone. if you can't get to the bootloader and all you get is the green arrows and such, then the PC36IMG files most likely will not work.

never pull the battery out especially after flashing radios. sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

:frown:
 
Man that reallysucks I hzte this lg even though when I plug it into a charger a orangeled comes on like its chargin same when I plug it in to a comp but the pc wont recognixze device heck it wont even acknoledge that anything is even plugged in if ii was to take it to sprint they couldnt do nothin with it u think andi really appreciate u tryin tohelp me out hope u got that rest but thanks again
