Spend about a week playing with it and not even reading this forum. That way, you'll have some idea of what you want from it. Then you can come back and find out how to do the things you've not figured out for yourself (or from the manual )

what should i do first anyone wanna help me here??? what are good apps, or roms to try and stuff. new to android just looking for some help.
my idiot friends did it i signed in on his comp
start by looking in the guide wiki page read everything you cn in there so that you completely understand what you are doing. then the first thing to do is root.
use the pre-kitchen. it's the easiest way to get root on your phone.
find it in the ROMS sticky wiki.
ROMs are also in the sticky wiki. i'd say go with fresh 1.1 or gumbo 1.5c for now, and when you get a better knowledge of what's going on then maybe test on like 2.1 and stuff.

If you've rooted the phone I would suggest downloading "ShootMe" from the Market. Very simple to use.

So anyone out there can walk me through i would greatly appritiate it =D, and if there is a shortcut to this like one click auto install?( idk if that actually excists XD)

follow link above and Downgrade, sucks that you updated, but don't worry you can downgrade to the awesome 2.2.1!
It's quite difficult to brick the phone if you follow the steps exactly. the only time you may brick the phone is when it is during the process of flashing the stock 2.2.1 rom, and you pull the battery or something. So make sure you're battery is charged! and secure.
i understood the downgrade part but im very confused about emmc thing, whats adb?

ah, when you try that command, it has to be tried through adb, and the phone has to be in a custom recovery, like clockworkmod or 4EXT. since you don't have a custom recovery currently installed, it won't work. so try the other command, through terminal emulator.

not sure if there is a video, but here's a link... it looks more organized and spread out than the link i posted before... hope it's easier to follow

Last night, my phone is broken (hard brick). Besides, I lost my ext-sd card (I had to format.). I used Swapper2 program by making a very big mistake. (Efforts to improve phone.)
Swapping normally supported by CM 10.1 kernel. And I'm sure swap supported. I checked swap by Terminal Emulator command. It shows "swap" word (that are supported).
My phone is not responding. Any button doesn't work. Charging doesn't work. USB to PC doesn't work. (PC doesn't detect normally.) :crying:
What should I do now? Is there anything I can do without sending service?
Waiting for your help guys.
EDIT for more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126363
I followed this link. I applied everything. After I turned off phone it died (Could not open any more.). That's it.
I saw like 100 people getting their phone hardbricked after using the swap thing. That's why I won't ever do that bulls*it.
There's still a way, but you're missing one essential file.

EMMCBLD.HEX from that thread is not for our phone. You need the hex file for msm7x27a.
There's some information here: http://www.anyclub.org/2012/04/how-to-build-emmc-flash-programmer.html, but I have no idea what tool you need to build it.
Just 3 days ago another user had the same problem with L3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44755592

So I suggest you contact him for the link, and maybe you'll get the required hex file from the guy on Modaco.

You could also contact http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33813888&postcount=2 maybe he can help you with the hex file.

You're awesome. I will try when I have free time. I will write here the results.
How did you hard brick your device??
In my old Samsung phone
I would connect USB and then power on device without battery and then reinsert battery and flash ...
I don't know if it should work but it is worth trying ...

It's good

And don't worry if it doesn't work ... just send it to LG and act dumb
P.S.-swapper 2 corrupts partition tables only when swap partition is used !(maybe - I wouldn't suggest testing it)
