Bjork!

I know it’s not a word, but a name… still if you use it with ! I think it’s particularly funny. Like it’s an exclamation, or a warning.

I just wanted to let you know I have not forgotten; I’m working on compiling an album of all the devices I’d want to consider. It’s a fair bunch, but honestly whatever insights you could offer will be so appreciated, and if you have no ideas I will still appreciate the effort. I should have it posted by later today.

I’ll see if it can help me. Thank you!!! I appreciate your effort.

I already have several on my Android devices.

What do they mean? Does Google have to start preloading them? lol.

The real goal that the community should be working on is to strengthen the political efforts to give people the rights to do whatever they want with phones they PURCHASE, and prohibit manufacturers from locking them down so the OWNER can’t make any changes. I would totally accept that it voids the warranty because they can’t cover all the bricked devices that result from reckless modding… but there should not be allowed any barriers between the OWNER and the software within.

And the reason for my emphasis of certain words is that the corporate world is really truly beginning to indulge the delusion that nobody ever owns anything and that purchases consumers make are merely the manufacturer granting them the privilege of indefinite loan. It all needs to stop hard and now.

Yeah neither adb nor fastboot see it.

This really sucks. It would seem it’s bricked, but then I have read lots of articles that swear that it is not hopeless.

The problem is LG has purged all files related to this device. Any download links or menus etc. you can find lead to dead links. I spent many hours and checked easily like 20 websites. There’s absolutely nowhere to be found an original rom image. Nada, nischt, zilch, bupkis, squat. Even the few XDA mentions are dead links :-(

I’d love to get it running again, but for now at least, I have stuff to do so this goes on the back burner. I have it in my box should I ever want to take another crack at it.

Say… you feel up to a minor challenge? I have like a dozen devices and I wish to document what are the possibilities for each of them, vis-à-vis alternate rom such as havoc, resurrection remix, etc., or aosp / gsi, or just rooting if that’s all that can be done. This way I can know what to prioritize trying.

I gotta tell you I find the XDA forums to be absolute chaos and incoherent. I’ve tried very sincerely to make sense of it, but sometimes I go to the forum for a device and it’s post after post with titles that don’t even contain a single actual word, it’s just acronyms and version numbers. And I’m sure that makes sense to the pros, but I can’t even figure out where to look for a starting point. So that’s why I’d like at least to catalog my options and then I can proceed knowing I’ve got starting points to look for.

If you’re up to it let me know I’ll post a pic of all the devices labeled. No worries if you’re not interested, I know it’s a pain in the ass what I’m looking for. Anyway thanks for trying to help with the LG. I’m not giving up hope yet, I love that little phone it’s sweet.

Figured out what you meant. No, fastboot devices does nothing. And I did search xda I can’t find anything that makes sense.

I can’t tell you how much that site confuses me.

More like I got to them.

Nice!

Yeah right. Hey thanks, shill. How much are they paying you to troll around and peddle your propaganda? You know, if anything, we should thank you. Because once the crop analyses findings are published, showing how your underground labs have genetically modified the skub seeds to consume all the inferior strains, then you can stand there and claim to have no vested interest in the skub wars.

I bet you own your share of shares in the Skubfiber®™ bookbinding process.

You’re a disgrace to the name of Ferdinand J. M. Brambleskub IV, may his brain endure in cryogenic stasis for all eternity.

And the same social security number. It’s a weird genetic thing ;-)

Really? I could never even get it to run.

It should be legal, but ONLY for use in venues such as carnivals, state fares, or dental offices. Never ever in tall buildings.

If it’s any comfort, it rarely happens.

No, Dylan Thomas.

Wizardry!!! Man that was the best.

I mean, Wizardry 8 was just an incredible flop, but their last great one VII, Crusaders of the Dark Savant… oof. Fantastic! And it was just a few 3½” floppy disks. Amazing. Back when Sir-Tech existed.

So, I’ve managed to get it into downloading mode by holding both volume up and down while powering it on.

Problem number one is there’s a utility that most articles reference that starts with like “B2C…” something and it says it’s supposed to download a huge file and eventually prompt you to attach the device. But it never gets to that. I have let it sit for hours. My thought is that whatever was on the other end it’s supposed to get in touch with is not there anymore.

I’m wondering if I could flash like an AOSP version or something. LG doesn’t have the rom on their site anymore, nor do some of the sites that claim to. They just send you into loops of clicking.

So, still working on it.

I already just go straight into my groups. The main feed is just garbage.

Yikes. I’ll look around. That site is dreadful though.
