[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damonivy:
Try this worked for me

Here's a different method of unbricking your vortex V660. With limited support and methods for this device it seems to make everything more complicated in finding a soluttion around certain but complex problems. I tried to use some of the other metheds listed on android central and XDA...such as, taking the battery out, holding home, vol -/+ and power key at the the same time the phone back in while it was connected to the computer. I wasnt able to get anywhere with these methodes,I also thought qbout trying the unbutu method to unbrick it then I thouht that was to much of an effott. I read all the comments and differnt methods and decide it wasn't worth the risk, I re-woked a different method for unbricking, there's prob about a 90% possibility of it working for your LG.This just happenes to be my own solution or workaround if you find yourself screwed like i did with no type of support.

The reason this didn't work was because I didn't have cwm installled nor did the phone have the original firmware installed, my mistake, I wiped that off too, happenes when you have to much to drink lol, the hard reset buttons were a no go as well since they take you into cwm or the orignal firware from verizon {all mine did was take me to a black screen because there was nothing there for it to load.} Some how or another all was wiped clean and I was in a catch 22 while being bricked. I found the vs660 recovery firmware but I knew i really didn't need to install it so i didn'nt.The bricked happened after I installed Titanium Backup then uninstalled launcher pro so then I restarted and got to the point where the ring Fire or boot animation was trying to load ,and it just just hung there. I don't care for the app launcher pro I would rather use awd launcher, if u haven't noticed you have to pay for the pro version of launcher pro just to rezize widets, so im wondering why this app was added to the Rom Cyan7.2 in the first place. So with no cwm, no stock image, and no way to make an sdcard boot into m to unbrick it my hopes and last resort were to pray that.I had usb debugging enabled.

First thing you have to install is called jdk-7u3-windows-i586] the other file called installer_r_windows wont't allow you to install until the install of JDK is complete.It'd ok to lauch the installer-r26-windows first because it ill drnf you directly to the site to downloadthe JDK file. Install these two programs first, (google how to ADB tutoria if needed? So after downloading that you will need to download the right drivers (for the voerex) Software name (Driver_WHQL_ML_Ver_4.9.7_All_Win7_LGEAll)(Google Search It)} There's 1 other thing we to have to do before seeing if your decice is listed in ADB. We need to add a line to the Envioronment Varibles section under System Variables at the bottom. Here's how to get there in Win7, right click on my computer, advanced tab, at the bottom Environmental Variblesm, click itlook down under system variables and scrooldowm until you see something called Path and add this line to end of it, ofcourse clickit edit then copy and past his line including the semicolon ;c:\android-sdk-windows\tools;c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools now save it amd exit. The reason this is done is so we won't have to contantly navigate through cmd prompt to the directory and list commands. This is prevent you from have to navigate to the folder evertime u want to run the program or any cmds. Now that were all setup lets connect to you phone's data cable to the pc and the phone, and again make sure abd debugging is enabled. Settings, applications, development, the check in the box for debugging, if it's not enabled you will get the turn on usb feature your phone so not what we want. Now opem the cmd prompt run the cmd cd.. then cd.. now you should C:\>, you can run the cmd adb devices now hit enter and you you see a long 14 to 16 digit # then that means your devices is succesfully connected and talking to your PC.That long # should be your MEID HEX# to your phone if you dont see that and you see somethine else then go back though the guide to see if you missed something during setup. If setep properlly in the cmd prompt type adb devices and your phone will automactically show its long#, after that type the cmd adb reboot at which point through cmd promt the device will reboot itself. Here a little secret just because you don't have youtr verison's orignal firmware nor a working ROM on you phone such as froyo 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 doesn't mean anything, you are still rooted and wont have to downgrade to 2.2.1. Side note ( z4root didn't work for my lg vortex, I tried gingerbreak 1.10 and later gingerbreak 1.2 which both worked just fine, z4root just hung on my phone, sry i bounced off topic but i took me 24 hrs of troubleshooting till I got it back up and running.

This method I would say this only applies to the ones that don't have cwm installed on their internal drive it acccidently wiped the original firware off their phones and don't have anything to boot into. I don't have the orignal verizon stock installed, essentially you hit the same buttons on the phone to do a hard reset or to boot into recovery as you normally would. If you neiher on your phone then ADB is your saving grace. Another tutorial I seen was something about installing ubuntu lunux, it just seemed liked to muck work for me, plus I didn't want linux on my box anyways, not til im ready for building a linux kluster later.

let get started...go and download the Adb software which is called Android-debug-brigde...you will also have a visual demo to guide you through the setup) (ADB file) name installer_16-windows,install this this file last to the root of C:/ once done its location will look like this c:\android-sdk-windows ( this is important to make sure you extract the exe to C:/android-sdk-windows (you can take advantage of youtube's a great resourse for viual walkthroughs} or google it,.i have had to do i know's our there , well if you more of a reader search google or xda it will breakdown the core or the installing of the actual files can't post links here but you have to post a minimum if 8 tines b4 you can post links outside this site.

Once all that's setup you need to confirm that its linked properly. Phone off or on during this process I wouldn't think it matters,my devices were on, so conntect you data cable to you usb port and the other end to your phone where you normally power it. This is the time you better hope USB Degugging is enabled. If it is you will see the little Android character and something that looks like a usb icon in the status bar of your phpne, so if you pull down your status bar is will tell your if you are in use debugging mode,. in the status bar depending on where your bricked. if you are in a booploop all its going to do it make that noise of connecting and disconnting. you may have to find fifferent approach to fix it, only solution I can give you if to try home, vol +, and power down til you get a black screen and hope it hangs there there long enough to so you clear it. So it this aproach words on a bootloop let me know in the comments.

Once everything looks good open up your device manager

Just under your computer mame u should see somethig called ADB Interface

under that from the drop arrow you will see android plactform sooner single ADB Interface, click on that and you will see android plattform sooner single ADB Interface, then under modems you will see LGE Android Platform USB Modem, and last at the bottom your youw will see universal serial bus controllers, select that and you should your see LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device, If you see all that that your 100% convered

Now to get your phone out of that nasty brick and we don't need need any firware or Roms to do it...

Open cmd prompt, type cd.. then cd.. again now your in C:\>

now type cd android/sdk/system (note the CD just means change directories) now were in the folder called c:\android-sdk-windows

From this directory is where were going to run our commands since we can't do it in cwm.

type wipe system and hit enter

wipe system you will see a alot of errors like it didnt do anything but that's ok next step

type wipe data hit enter

once done pull cable reboot phone wait to it to come up to where to you have to touch the andoid like your setting up the phone for the first time again, warming u more that lickly will get an FC during setup and it will brick again on the same screen. Repeat wipe system and wipe data again, the gp though the setup on the phone again, if have have another FC one last time so again wipe system then wipe data, this time there shouldn't be anymmore FCs, I have to go through wipe system and data 3 times b4 the FC's stooped and I will able to to to the activaton screen > My phone is a refurb so if would let me past the activation screen this time as when im loading up in CM7. last issue I faced was the accivation screen, Now I did some reading on this and there are a couple of thing you can one of which worked for me., You can tap the four counrers in the clockwise direction which didn't work for me, or what did, I click activcate then entered *228 then hung up, avtivate again *228 hungup, then activate again,*228 hugnup and this time I was able to skip activation anb and was again to load cwm and flash my phone, so its not longer bricked and I dont have to worry about the avivation all though it will comes up U can stip it and It wont keep me from me phone, I have VIOP setup over my 4g LTE, any questions about this type hack just let me know, ( I have an 18 Page Paper about how it works how to set it up, its free and no download charge for the APK) and I will post it. Forwaring the paper 18 pages long and pretty in depth, I dont explain the backend of how it works but just a little, its mainly the frontend and to set it up and all the routing.
