For the last several hours, I've been trying to just get my phone to turn on past the white LG logo against a black screen. I don't know how to get the phone into any kind of recovery mode or emergency mode. I've looked at tutorials on similar phones, none of the suggestions worked. Among those suggestions were:
- Hold the down volume + home button while holding the power button
- Hold the up volume + return button while holding the power button
- Hold the up volume + home button while holding the power button
I've had to take the battery out of my phone and put it back in numerous times. I've tried removing the SD card and replacing the battery. I had my phone rooted and was attempting to install custom recovery via Android Terminal. The last thing I remember was typing "su" and then at the # typing "sh /sdcard/rf.sh". The phone rebooted to the LG and I've been trying to recover ever since.
The phone isn't even recognized by my computer when connected via USB, although when the phone is connected to the computer via USB it will turn on from off position -- ostensibly I think this means it is charging?
I've read at least 12 different fixes on 12 different forums, I've googled, searched, asked for help, and my head is about to explode. There is no example that tells me anything definitive such as:
a) If my phone is for sure bricked
b) How to tell if it is for sure bricked
c) What I can do short of returning the phone (which I have insurance on if I need it)
Can anyone help me to figure out a way to at least get my phone to boot up? From other threads I've read, it seems like the Optimus C is locked up pretty tightly and if you manage to root it and change things around, the LG Mobile Phone Tool will not recover the phone properly.
Thank you any and all in advance for your advice, assistance or admonishment. Yes, I know, if you play you pay. No lectures, please, just assistance if you can provide it for which I (and probably others) will be deeply grateful.
