I have not been able to go past this. I am new to cooking roms n stuff. I am trying to see if I can do something with some of the tools/ drivers that were available for LG Incite/ others. If you manage something, do let me know.

I just tried putting my phone into Normal download mode and it worked, but to get out of it I had to pull the battery. The weird part is when I loaded the phone back up it shows that my battery was a 0% and needs charging, yet my phone still powered on. Right now I have it charging.

Yeah. I was thinking that. I found this very interesting. Also I'm not sure why there is two download modes. Emergency download mode is the one used to update the firmware, roms, and etc. I wonder what Normal Download Mode is used for.

Not sure if it's possible. I wouldn't even know where to begin with trying to get into the bios of a WM device. My experience my with my battery may have been a fluke.
