Ok my friend, here is my bunch of devices that I have available for customization. My idea situation would be anything that lets me get the best out of the device. If that means Lineage, or Havoc, or any of the other dozen or so ROMs, or even just GSI or AOSP. Barring any of those as an option, root access at least so I can manually debloat it a little.

My devices

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.

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.

Nice!

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

Really? I could never even get it to run.

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.

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

Thank you! I’ll look into those.

I tried a thing I found online with some recovery program you run on Windows but it just hung there and did nothing. I’ll look at these in a while.

Well, it would stand to reason that I erroneously did. I meant that I didn’t intentionally nor did I notice changing anything.

So… any ideas for a solution?

Hah. Fucking nothing better to do? We in the USA need to deal with our highest courts taking away women’s bodily autonomy, but over there they are clearly focused on the real issues.

Nonetheless, the best thing would be to let those kinds of fans do what they do, because it is free advertising. But no, they’d rather be right than pragmatic, so they shoot themselves in the foot. Meanwhile, if they’re so worried that these guys have that kind of serious reach and influence - aren’t those the people they shouldn’t piss on??

I don’t really think it matters that much. The more of the community you alienate and spit in their faces for loving you, the more youngsters will be given something else to play because their dad wants to see Nintendo burn.

Okay, so now ten people can upload it.

Wow! Way to tell the world to never buy your products because you’re petty sniveling greedy and absolutely hate your fans.

What meds have you just tossed back with a bourbon chaser? You are the one going off the deep end, fella. I merely stated my opinion about something from a purely legal-reasoning perspective and this person got all in a huff and ranted at me - not comprehending what I had said. And now you’re doubling down on that person’s incredulity and outrage. And the sad part is that evidently neither of you have grasped my one very distinct point, and instead have inferred some huge argument in which I never partook.

Really folks, please stay off the really heavy substances when conversing online. You’re both acting like screaming petulant children. I suspect I’m older than you both combined, no surprise there.

Please just let this die. Nobody is making the effort to read thoroughly and ASK to understand what I had been saying, instead you continue with your incorrect assumptions and attack those assumptions. That’s called a straw man argument, and you both could fill a scarecrow field.
