installed a custom recovery and installed cm7 for a buddy..after three days of failing i finally got the cust recovery working but anyway. he didnt like cm7 because of some known bugs on the vortex such as not rotating. so he tried to download a different rom and attempted to install it and it was not for the vortex and now it just sits at the lg screen. he did it because he qanted to learn. i wasnt around and didnt know what he was doing. thus sealing the vortexs' fate lol. recovery wont even load. not sure how he managed that. but hes just trying to learn.

Casualty of war! It's a right of passage to either brick a phone or think you've bricked one.

by car i mean car. why exactly would i run a phone over with a matchbox car? and no im not reaching in the toilet after it lol im gonna just let it sit there in the toilet where it belongs lol. i just hate the phone. and yes i know lg made it. lets not be to technical here. i mean we are talking about throwing a phone in the toilet and leaving it there. i doubt technicalities matter lol. ........i didnt end up throwing it in the toilet. i just tossed it in the trash .

I would have been happy to take it off your hands just to mess with. What a waste.

EDIT: I read further and saw that it's bricked, now I want it even more *LOL* Just to see if I could make it boot again.

LOL.....My first smartphone was vortex. I thought it was so great when i got it for $150 and a 2 yr contract. What a POS! I would really like to see that video OP. I feed mine to my cousin's pit and it still worked! Screen and everything. That dog crushed the corner near the keys that always stuck. Maybe ill spray paint it gold and wear it as a necklace. Bling blang yall

 

[eddiekeyton]
