I have managed to soft brick my phone (its in a boot loop where the LG logo appears, then goes to a striped screen, then back to the lg logo, and on and on) and I cannot get into recovery using the Pwr on, Vol down, wait 3 secs and then release Pwr on and press Back & Menu buttons.

From the research I have been doing, it seems I need to put the phone in Fastboot mode before I can push a backed up image to it.

Is this correct?

If so, how do I do it, I can't seem to find much about that.

Thanks in advance
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yochananmarqos:
What about Power + both Volume buttons? If that works then you can connect via USB restore the stock ROM using the LG Support Tool.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] entaled:
This phone doesn't have fastboot. You need to have some patience. Keep trying and trying and trying. It can be frustrating but eventually you'll get into recovery.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] picotrain:
I have never had a problem before getting into recovery using the keys.

On a side note, ADB does not detect the device, any suggestions on what to do?

Edit:- the LG Support Tool recognizes the device, but ADB does not. That seems a bit strange :\
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
That might just be your only option, I had a similar issue where I couldn't even access recovery because the logo started bootlooping a few seconds after powering on the device, not even enough time to get into recovery, so I was forced to flash a .kdz to restore my device. Good luck tho, it'll take a while to understand it all at first but it'll be so easy once you get the hang of it. Also if you can learn the .kdz method on this device, you pretty much know how it works for other LG's using .kdz files. My newest device requires that I flash a moddified .kdz to get my bootloader unlocked to begin with, the process seems much easier to me since I already bricked my E739 in the past and was forced to learn whatever I needed to know to bring it back from beyond the grave. (yay zombie phone)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] picotrain:
I managed to get it back!

Does anyone know if Erikmm / Beastmode was able to get Slimbean working for our device?

I have been reading through this thread & have found some early testing going on, but cant find whether it was successful or not.

Well, maucat has a working Slimbean.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] picotrain:
Thank you, just flashed it & dark gapps.

help

i have a t-mobile mytouch e739 and i cant seem to get it to boot up....i factory data reset it cause i was going to give it to my niece but for some reason it ended up with the S/W Upgrade thing when i tried to go into the recovery mode and i connected it to my PC to try to "upgrade it" as many people pointed out i used LG Mobile Support Tool but with no luck it said the phone was already up to date....so i'm stuck and oh yeah the phone is/was rooted running cm9 so please help and sorry if i posted this question in the wrong place
[Miscellaneous Android Development] medicjunKie:
Why would you go back to Recovery after a Factory Reset? Pretty pointless, IMO.

But that's okay, noob issues i suppose.

Anyways, since you can't get into Recovery or you apparently don't know how to do it flash sdk. Simplest option to get your phone back i suppose.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
Did you factory reset from settings or recovery?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
from recovery which is the confusing part....since normally it would just boot up....but if i try it just stays on the cm9 boot animation but not a boot loop
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
Weird if you can access recovery install a different rom. Otherwise use the LG Update Tool to flash a stock .kdz firmware update.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
okay when i try to access the recovery it says S/W Upgrade please wait....i have the LG Update Tool but how would i flash a stock .kdz firmware....it said my phone was up to date....any ideas?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
now its just on S/W upgrade screen....no recovery help!!!!!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] LoopDoGG79:
You are doing the wrong button combo. You are in download mode. I use to own this phone, I remember the button combo to go into recovery was ridiculous. I don't remember it, but what I remember is trying multiple times before it worked. Good luck!

[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
Use the offline .kdz flashing method
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yochananmarqos:
If you just want to re-flash stock, all you have to do is:

1) Connect your device via USB

2) Hold Power & both Volume keys to boot into software update mode

3) Launch the LG Support Tool & choose Recovery Phone from the Customer Support menu

4) Done.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shoothy:
I was recently fooling around with my friends LG e739. (T-Mobile bloatware OP; Please nerf) I flashed CM7 and the phone worked great. For a few months, there were no problems at all. Then one day, I got a call about the "S" and "A" keys not working in portrait mode. Apparently there were some issues with the same section of the screen in a few other apps as well.

Sounds like a hardware issue right? According to the people at the T-Mobile store (I told her not to go up there), its because of the ROM.

I tried re-flashing but that didn't fix it. Any ideas?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
It's hardware. Return it to stock then take it back to tmobile
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Shoothy:
That's what I thought. I just wanted to get a second opinion before I went through the unroot process. I get pretty nervous making modifications to someone else's phone.

When someone starts a "post your homescreen" thread and everyone posts pictures of stock rom and stock launcher with no theming or modifications done whatsoever.. what's the point? I see the same image on the box my phone came with.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skillz9669:
Hey guys, I've been searching for hours with no luck so I decided its time to pull in some other thoughts here. I rooted my e739 awhile ago and have tried multiple roms. Out of what seems to be nowhere it decided it would not wake up after going to sleep. So as long as I kept the screen on or turned it back on within about 10-15 seconds I could use the phone no problem. This problem has not gone away even when I recently used the LG tool and used recovery to get back to stock. I am now using the wakelock app on partial (keeps the cpu running) and it is working flawlessly (except for the battery being drained faster ). I have no clue what is causing the sleep no wake issue but it's driving me nuts, especially since the problem is following me across roms and even to stock. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Pimp My Rom
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Yes, there are some settings in Pimp My ROM that may act as a band-aid, but it sounds like a hardware issue causing it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] skillz9669:
Thanks guys. I suspected it might be hardware. Of course I was hoping I was wrong.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] medicjunKie:
The point is that people get to post their homescreen.

PR1 experimental build uploaded, reduced the file size and added different tweaks, removed unneeded bloatware from CM7 base ROM. Still not tested because I forgot my USB cord at home, can someone please check it out for me?

Edit: I managed to download it and flash it and fully test it, and I'm amazed with the results. There's a really noticeable improvement in speed, just not sure about battery life.

Do you guys think I should finally start a PenberRom series thread over here at XDA? The main reason I haven't done it yet is because it included gapps by default even before I did anything with it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] picotrain:
I think that's a great idea.

---------- Post added at 12:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:00 PM ----------

I've noticed with Penber ROM 4.2 that the soft key lights come on when the phone is locked and screen is off.

Root dim does not seem to help.

Any suggestions?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] djwuh:
Didn't he get BLN working on that rom? Do they still light up if you clear all your notifications? I was on the rom for a while but I always deactivate the soft key lights with a initd script so i never noticed the problem

Sent from my SGH-I747
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Yes, but without BLN Control Pro the lights stay on when there's a notification.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
That's normal, that just means you have a notification you received but didn't check while the screen was locked. That's what BLN is, backlight notifications. BLN Control Pro is worth the money, wait till you see the added features :)

Edit: Is anyone interested in testing a test build of PR1? It might boot, it might not. I used a different base ROM and had a cleaner workspace this way. I only need to tweak the UI to have the full PR1 minimal look, right now that is number one on my priority list today.

Depends which flavor of Android you prefer, I suppose. I have tested all of the below as well as a few other ROM's.

GB: PenberЯom 1 by LeoLawliet

ICS: PenberЯom 2 by LeoLawliet

JB: CM 10 EnlighteneD by Loller

[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I'm good
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
The best part about mine is I can boot mako ( n4 ) Roms and kernels. I'll have kitkat on my device the day it's released and I'll have my custom kernel the next day ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
I won't get any of that official on my device, most likely unofficial tho. Lucky you :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Oh it won't be official. We still don't have official cm support. Only the Korean version of my device has official support. We can use there source and add are device specific changes but we choose to use mako sources as it's pure and allows us to have the new android versions as there released.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
In your opinion which would be a better phone for me? Optimus G or Nexus 4? Or should I just wait for Google to announce their next flagship device and stick to the Optimus L9 for now?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
If you had to chose between n4 or optimus g I would choose the lgog. We can run anything n4 so we have the benefits of having a nexus device. All lgog variants have true lte n captive buttons n 4 don't. My variant has 16gb internal ( same size as biggest n4 ) but I have an external sd-card. The at&t is the only variant with sd-card. The rest of the variants have 32gb internal. Done international variants and sprint variant have 13mp camera.

The current line of phones don't impress me but I do have my eye on the lgog2. Spec wise it's a beast but I'm waiting to see the n5. Rumor is n5 is to lgog2 as n4 is to lgog.

Now as far as waiting of you need a device now go ahead n upgrade. I have yet to Max out the phone. It handles everything I their at it without any lag. Getting the lgog2 to me is just for bragging rights if I'm to get it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
The L9 handles well, gets everything done for me. For 5mp the camera still looks really nice it's 1080p. Money is tight lately, till that gets resolved I guess I'll keep waiting.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Ainz_Ooal_Gown:
I am currently attempting to restore this phone to stock since it in the S/W stage and I have the latest driver installed and have the LG support tool but at step 3 which is the actual "upgrade" aka from computer to phone...the LG support tool force closes any ideas on why it doesn't want to "upgrade"?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Got a new phone today ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
HTc One? xD
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I wonder what gave that away
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
How is it anyway? Just stock.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I'm enjoying it. As is right now. I just got done rooting it tho ;)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I don't got time atm. I'll most likely dig into the kernel source this weekend
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
Cool, have fun with that and if you can please show me a benchmark result :)

I'm considering the Xperia Play for the PSP-like controls, just for emulators and the fact that the device has a huge dev community to back it up (if someone is willing to buy my unlocked LG Optimus L9 off of me for the right price).

Still also considering the new Nexus phone as well, if I can sell my old phone then it's possible. Unlocking the L9 was a pain in the a** so I'm not selling it cheap.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] picotrain:
Seeing as there seems to be an official ICS kernel for the E-730 now, would I be correct to assume we can expect to see one for our phone soon?

[Miscellaneous Android Development] nanosp:
Thanks. I'll look for that now. I have the e739 though, I thought only the e730 got ICS?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] saleandoli@aol.com:
Nope, it's for e739 also. These awesome developers like leolewit made roms for it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
Not the official one for E739, and dodgedroid working on official ICS, not me :p

Only E730 has it working now because they got it officially.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nanosp:
I got it rooted relatively quickly and installed CM9, wasn't sure if there were any roms still in development or still available. It's not bad, just kind of laggy and I'm getting a lot of FC's so far.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] djwuh:
I would recommend PenberRom 2 or one of the other fine choices you'll find at the beginning of this thread or here. http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/forum/604-lg-optimus-sol-nightlyexperimental/ most of the e730 roms have versions for e739 just make sure you grab the right one.

You can flash a .kdz firmware to restore stock firmware and recovery so you can start from scratch. This CM thread has some info.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] nanosp:
I'm going to look this over tonight. Thanks! But how if I can't get back into recovery?

I flashed CM 9 first and started adding apps, but it felt really buggy and a lot of the apps I tested would force close. Then I flashed PENBERЯOM 2

and I liked the feel, but I was getting some random reboots so I tried flashing back.. then for some reason, I couldn't use the power button to select anything while in recovery. Didn't know what else to do so I did a battery pull and now the LG screen pops up then after a few minutes a screen with a bunch of white text pops up. I downloaded the SDK but Idk how to get to ADB so I'm kinda stuck there.

This will work even if there seems to be no OS on there currently?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] yochananmarqos:
Yes, you boot up in software update mode: Power & Vol Up + Vol Down.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
Every ICS based ROM for this device randomly reboots, not just PenberRom2.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nanosp:
Got it. Going to try this tonight, thanks

---------- Post added at 10:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

Yikes, noted. It'd be nice if ICS were randomly released, at least the source. And so the GB ROMs are way more stable?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] leolawliet:
Yep, I might work on a modded stock GB again pretty soon. I'll let you know when it's done, in the meantime I highly suggest JB Taste if you want a great GB ROM.

It would not boot, does not go into emergency mode

EDIT - I just tried modem download mode from the link you provided. Seems the E739 is not as dead as I thought!

Since I am due for an upgrade I think I will go for that & take my time restoring the E739. It will come in handy as a phone for when I am overseas.

EDIT 2 - Wow, that was really easy! Entered modem download mode, put battery back in & tried booting. Success! The little E739 lives on!
