[LG Optimus Black] ivaneris:
Ahhh....sorry...my fault...it's p970?how dumb i am...sorry...for p970 i suggest izs 1.1 from huexx or trasmusic..it's stock based..but very neat...

My p970 use trasmusic (based on izs 1.1) then use kernel diana + swap,search on android development for izs and kernel diana+swap (i'm using dual swap as recommended) and for trasmusic you can find it on android general...

Again...sorry my friend...my bad...i forgot this is p970 section...:(

[LG Optimus Black] carantinas86:
ok friend doesnt matter. i installed avatar rom now and searching new kernel and find one arm project maybe working with avatar. .. and cant find good one, maybe then trying trasmusic and diana.. tnx for helping.. i see, all kernel not working all roms thats true because im noob.
[LG Optimus Black] ivaneris:
You can try mackay rom jb 4.3 (cm 10.2) its seems quite good...but battery draining quite much..its said...so just using trasmusic for now...btw..mackay rom using kernel 3.2 quite a work there...

[LG Optimus Black] vitorugo-8:
Guys i need your help...

I hard bricked my lg..

The screen is always black and i get no response with the key combinations (power, camera and vol up).

I can only get some "life" when i use the script omap4boot-for_prada-v1.3. With it i can enter on fastboot mode, if i press the vol up i enter on s/w update (but is slighty different because the symbol shown up are in green, not just black and white). Pressing vol down shows me 3 options, normal fastboot or recovery, but all of them goes to fastboot mode ...

I've tried SFT program but i always get the error "magic numbers don't coincide"(or something like that). R&D tool start working, but after 2 seconds is not responding ...

Is there a way to solve the problem or is my phone lost forever??
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
p970 isn't compatible with fastboot. the only possible solution for unbricking is smartflash
[LG Optimus Black] vitorugo-8:
but with smart flash i'm always getting the "magic numbers does not coincide" error. I really don't know what that is or what to do
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
did you try to flash something not designed for this device ? the prada is the P940. that's a different device with a different structure.

are you sure that your device is a p970 ? just asking...
[LG Optimus Black] vitorugo-8:
yes, my device is an p940, but there's no information how to unbrick it and looks like nobody wants to help me. So i'm trying to get some help in this thread, but of course i'm flashing the kdz files designed for my device
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
ok, so smart flash should work, but wrong magic numbers probably means that the files you're trying to flash are wrong or corrupted.

find a clean p940 firmware, convert it into .bin and .fls.

if everything goes well, it should be UNbricked.

Made in ZR
[LG Optimus Black] vitorugo-8:
i've tried with a clean file, with and european version, my phone was locked to a carrier, i'm gonna try with the correspondent kdz file.

Do i need to try it on windows xp? or will it work on a windows 8.1 - 64bit?

With omap driver installed?

Thanks in advance
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
yeah you may try on different pcs. just know that the firmware version doesn't matter because it won't affect the connectivity with your carrier. in fact, the "stocker" it is the better it is (less blotwares) and missing apps from your service provider can be downloaded later

Made in ZR
[LG Optimus Black] vitorugo-8:
i give up.. i've tried on 3 different PC's (w8/64, w7/64, w7/32) with to different fls and bin files (one european and another one from y country) and i always get the "MAGIC NUMBERS DOES NOT COINCIDE" error ... i really don't know what to do, maybe try lgflashtool, but it probably won't work..
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
well, it may be a harware issue then.... try opening a dedicated thread for this. in my side, I suspect the bin converter tool to not being fully compatible with p940 firmwares. I may be wrong but at this point I can't help you more mate.
[LG Optimus Black] vitorugo-8:
I believe this is the problem http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33031879&postcount=21

and the solution http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942836

but i don't know how to put a recovery on a bin file, and know i'm getting troubles installing the omap driver...
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
links seem faulty... just a question, what are omap drivers needed for ? I believe regular LG drivers are sufficient. the most important thing for this situation is that your device can be recognized as an android platform in the devices manager (adb doesn't matter yet) so it can be flashed well.
[LG Optimus Black] vitorugo-8:
links are ok now...

i can only enter in download mode or get some life on the phone using them, the computer only recognizes the phone that way, i have to connect the phone without battery and that needs the omap drivers, then i put the battery and the phone enter in s/w upgrade (download mode). And it only stays on for about a minute more or less...

thats why omap drivers are important, and i'm having problems installing them, and maybe thats the problem. After installing omap driver i can't get a stable connection, every two seconds it goes on and off, on and off.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
well, p970 has omap chipset too but it has never needed specific omap drivers for booting into download mode. now the fact is I don't know the p940, so it may be different. however the p940 is the prada version of the p970... if usb connection is unstable, you may have a defective usb cable, or even the usb port itself...

please note, open a dedicated thread for that. thanks.

Rooted 2.3.4....installed recovery via Rom Manager...

Can't get any rom zips to flash!

Was there a step between flashing a recovery and flashing rom zips? Tried stable versions of CM7 and CM10 without success. Installation aborts in the first minute with an error, then half the time after choosing "reboot now" through CWM will bring me through the initial set-up from LG like when I first got the phone.

I'm lost!!!
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
don't use rom manager, it never worked for this device...

this is happening because you probably bypass the rooting step. when you get the to the recovery for the first time, the first thing to do is to flash a superuser zip. A recovery mod requires root privileges for working properly. after that, boot normally check the root status with an app (like root checker). if you got rights, you can flash roms from there

downgrade

Hello everyone.i understant how to root lg p970,but if want to downgrade ics to gingerbread and instal zeus 7.06 which is the steps?excuse me if i don t post in the right tread.
[LG Optimus Black] MrPontus:
Root and flash the custom recovery (the things you already said you understand)

Then from the recovery make a full wipe and flash the ROM you want.

Really easy and simple
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
You'll:

-put the ROM image you want on your SD card (via PC)

-download CWM ROM Manager from the Play Store

-run the ROM Manager (when it asks for Super User priveleges, grant them)

-load the ROM image via the Manager

-follow the directions
[LG Optimus Black] geo579:
doesn t work

doesn t work with cwm recovery.i try.
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Can you load the zip in CWM?

Does it give you an error?

ICS (official) has a locked bootloader... did you unlock that?
[LG Optimus Black] geo579:
bootlocker

Yes i unlock with bootlocker wich i downloaded to this site on my computer.its no giving no error.i install cwm from google play.
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
So, you install the large ROM file (in zip format) on the sdcard.

You run CWM, and load the zip file.

Do you get an error? What happens?
[LG Optimus Black] geo579:
downgrade

I have ics stock,i v rooted with unlock 4.1 program,i install cwm from google play ,i run cwm apk,install from sd card zeus 7zip,and stay this the apk freeze.i install quick boot also find in goole play
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
7zip? the file extension should be .zip, not .7z. Is that what you mean?
[LG Optimus Black] geo579:
no 7zip

sorry,no 7zip i mean the rom zeus v7.the bootlocker must install in pc or in phone?i install cwm but the apk say the lg p970 is not suported.any apk to install a rom?
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
You put the Zeus ROM zip file on the sdcard in the phone. You can copy it from a PC directly to the phone via a usb cable, or you can open the back of the phone, pull the sdcard, insert it into a reader/adapter, and copy it over on the PC (you have to move it back to the phone afterward).

You are installing this Manager?:

[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
Hi, sorry for the late, I rarely check this forum since I own another phone... It seems that imageshack turned into a commercial crap so I had to update every single image and links. I've also migrated to MEGA because of the time limit policy of Dev-Host. The bad side is that I loose download counts but it's not so important. I can tell that since my first contribution, there has been over 25k downloads in total. Not bad eh ? : )

My main shares can be found in my signature too.

hi

i updated lg optimus black lg software with this auto update LG-P970-V10A to LG-P970-V10B and now does not work this lock system and two buttons under display (home and search). how i can fix this?
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
mmm... did you do a data wipe before flashing as the first post says?

Do a stock restore in settings, then reflash. If not, you can flash the V11B (eleven)
[LG Optimus Black] bussekas:
i use lg stock update program and i just click update. nothing more i did not.

i live in estonia and update program does not give me change to update v11b.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Then do this:

1. Factory reset as described in first post (have you lost your data updating or you keep all your stuff as before updating to v10b?). You will lose all your data this way... keep that in mind.

2a. Reflash v10B

2b. Flash v11B manually following the Method 1 tutorial in first post.

Let me know your decision :)
[LG Optimus Black] bussekas:
can anyone help me to find estonian v10b form lg homepage before i try to flash it?

i flash v10B (europe version) and now i have some new things (like yahoo stock and news programs). after hard reset works all things fine.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
i wanna ask how long it takes to update? the updater run for almost half an hour and still "Not responding". what should i do?

please help. thnx!
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Mine lasts like 5 minutes throwing "dll missing error" but it is actually updating as the tutorial says, then reboots upgraded/reflashed.

MAYBE you should end the process and do it again. But I don't know how harmful it can be for your device...
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Doh, restarted the updater right now. "MOD UptestEX MFC" stops working again, tutorial said just ignore it. okay... but already passed 5 minutes.

I must run this unavoidably because i f*cked up framework-res.apk. tried ADB but couldn't detect my phone :(

note: i'm running windows 7 64bit.
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
First emergency reflash with B2C - http://translate.google.com/transla...77-how-lg-black-notfallwiederherstellung.html

...then flash the desired firmware according method 1.

Pay attention to usb drivers. The phone must be recognized and the drivers installed before attempting any flash operation!!!!

And stick to the tutorials!!! Do not skip or add any step!!

[LG Optimus Black] hsahin4:
I have found a chance to try ASFRTL V11B firmware(France SFR) but I did not like it. Because it has so many ads and scrap software from SFR.

I guess speed and stability same with V10B Europe_Open. If you do not have SFR contract, I dont suggest to use it.

Let us wait for real gingerbread.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
I am using V11B from SFR since 2 weeks ago. Someone said it improves screen response and I needed it, so. It works fine, although I can't tell how much better. You are right about the crap, I think it's 3 apps, maybe more.

RAM management is not good at all, but I don't think I will flash another one until official/custom gingerbread or good ROM arrive.

Hi. Today I bought P970, unfortunatelly it has not Czech language. I tried reflash it with CZ firmware (as new member I can't insert link here).

All seems succesfull, but after reboot I still can't choose Czech. It isn't in Language list.

Do you anybody know solution? I miss Cz only during navigation in Gmaps, I can live with English system ;)

[LG Optimus Black] Nano23:
Thanks Ilko. :) This c version what changes?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I don't really know. As I said in the removed thread copy, the only differences may be included apps by the provider, and maybe some specific settings for networks for being provider friendly. All these may influence on battery consumption, but in a low way I think. Some users reported that certain firmwares have a better touch reactivity.

I can't confirm these things, it' is only suppositions. I'm only here to contribute in finding firmwares :D

I even can't flash my own phone due to a unknown issue lol...

HELP!!! Bricked my phone

Freezed lg home by stupid stupid stupid mistake:mad:.

Now pthone remains stuck at LG screen just after bootanimation. Bottom buttons flashing... and that's all..

Tryed emergency restore... everything works well... except phone in the same state ...even after multiple restarts by pulling battery out..

Tryed flashing another firmware (V10B, V11..about three or four times) - nothing changed.

When I swipe the screen from bottom to top as I unlock the screen, phone makes the noise as it's working, but....nothing on the screen

I managed even shut down once or twice blind...

Can anyone help me?

I can not make ADB working on my computer....

Late edit.

It seems ok, but I can not see anything except unlock screen, charging screen... status bar... Anyone has any ideea? I want to try to dial 3845#*970# for factory reset, but I need screen captures of the phone with every step: dialer, menu.. etc. Can anyone provide those for me?

Nope... I tried to dial but no sound.... maybe dialer is not displayed....

I managed to start camera app by G button +phone-shake... it works...

Any ideas?

Thank You.
[LG Optimus Black] nikpik:
@rgabi88 I had this happen to me as well. I froze Home and did a factory reset (dumb of me) so I ended up in your situation as well, here's what you do.

1.)Download launcher pro apk (it doesn't have to be launcher pro but this is the most accessible since you can get it without the market). Place it somewhere on your phones memory card. You need to remember WHERE and WHAT it is named.

2.)Have someone call your phone. It doesn't matter if you answer it or not, either way you'll have the dialer as your temporary "home" but it will give you access to the settings that you need.

3.) Swipe down and enable your internet connection (be it mobile or wifi).

4.) If you are on the dialer screen, press and hold the search button, this will bring up voice search. Search for anything as it will bring up the browser.

5.) Once you have the browser launched, type this into the address bar:

file:///[name of launcher pro].apk

Take note of the 3 slashes.

This will install launcher pro or allow you to change settings (enable unknown sources, etc) so you can install launcher pro.

6.) Anddddd done. You now have a working home app and now have full access to your phone again.

Hopefully this helps you
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
@nikpik

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!

I did not do your tut all the way, only till I get access to dialer. Then I did a factory reset via hidden menu and voila!! back on business!!

[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Before I tried your suggestion, I did a B2C recovery a few times (2 or three times!) and several firmware flashing (V10B, V10C).... with no result... The flashing software reported "Success" in all cases, but the phone remains unusable... Last time I did a B2C recovery and then followed your suggestions. It seems that all apps were in their places all the time, but reflashing and recovery did not reset the user settings.. only the factory reset did the trick unfreezing all frozen apps. Good to know!

Are there any news regarding new firmwares V10C and V10D? Any goodies included?
