Had you look inside the file before post it?

The content is the same as in gps.conf included in Nova ROM, but with the italian NTP server rather than the European ... so if we aren't at Italia I don't see the benefit in use it.

Moreover, apart from the NTP servers and XTRA, has nothing more ...

Thanks anyway.
[LG Optimus Black] angelox82:
not everyone is using Nova rom and I've wrote this for people like me who wants a stock rom with more stuff and since in the first post, if you noticed, is still reported the trick of the hidden menu which is useless. and there are italians here who can use it. As i wrote i've found the file and reported how to use this, if it's not useful i will just delete it.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
For all those who wants a good gps.conf for your device...

UPK 2.4.4 is out

Let me know if you meet issues. Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
I have Windows 7 x64 and KDZ Updater has all options disabled although I use Windows Enabler ON
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
did you click on buttons to unlock them ?
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
God! I never would have thought, thank you very much
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
lol yeah but it's specified nowhere. Just a forgot detail :o
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I just reuploaded it. Forgot to replace the pdf file.

Please download again
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
hey llko

i saw you update your UPK and it contains SuperOneClick 2.1.1

does it works for every firmware now?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I cant tell. you must try by yourself. keep in mind that i didnt modify anything. its all based on known methods. I simply automatized processes to do steps easier
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
yeah i havn't try new SOC yet,if it can work ,i think i can write a batch to do all the things(root+install cwm recovery) in one click
[LG Optimus Black] vlachaquito:
any help here people??? i updated the original post, so u have more info..

update: after i dl the updated 2.4.4 the firmware update starts normally. after a while though, no the log screen there r some indications that a dll (or something like that) is missing. after a lot of these entries, the update seemed to be stopped. there was no entry that had finished but the last entry of a missing dl was more than 10 minutes there.

i unplugged the phone and restarted it, but an lg error screen was on. i did the recovery as a user suggested and all turned fine again.

after that, i renamed the file, same procedure, more missing dl and same result. what do i do wrong?? maybe the firmware i dl?? or i have to wait more??

thanx for your time
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I can tell this : with SOC and SRP I managed to root 10C and 10E easyly and fast.

@vlachaquito try another usb port
[LG Optimus Black] sonic1995:
hy i tried the new upk 2.4.4 and i tried to flash my bricked phone and i works bus it stay at 4% (software actualization) for 3 hrs, what can i do???
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I looked at your log. You always get errors while datas extractions. It seems that your kdz file is corrupted.. or you need free space. Empty your temp directory. And do you have monitoring software?

OB powered post
[LG Optimus Black] sonic1995:
nope i don't have, there is no other way to get into s/w upgrade mode? cuz i tried volume up and plug the usb but screen still black.. (with out battery, sim and sdc)
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
wow.. I don't wanna scare you but if you can't even enter in S/W, it probably means that it's ****ed. Try another usb port, even on another PC. What happens if you do the boot trick without battery ?
[LG Optimus Black] sonic1995:
some times it open and show lg loggo and the boygues or i don't knou what i says (in fr because it's v11c) and the black screen with flasy 4 buttorn) and sometimes nothing
[LG Optimus Black] shreyas99:
Could be a solution. But the phone is getting replaced anyway. So alls good for now. But yeah, I researched this. It might just do the trick.
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Your phone is not recognized ...

Uninstall all LG drivers

Download drivers with LGMobile update tool and install them again

Do a B2C emergency recovery.

You have PM
[LG Optimus Black] XER0123:
I flashed v10e than v10b without problem, no brick..
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Hi I just want to know how I can root my phone. I got a problem so I had to flash back with emergency recovery by LG. Now I'm with firmware v11C and it seems that gingerbreak don't work. Is there any possibility to root, since I have no computer to try SOC ? Thanks !
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
nope... manage to do it on a PC from people around you. No choice.
[LG Optimus Black] Sobralobo:
Ok thanks for the answer Ilko :/
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Thank you for let me know! I will look into it.

LE: I updated the guide. Thanks for the feedback!
[LG Optimus Black] sonic1995:
hy i resolved my bricked ob, i mean not me, the service.... they flahs v10a eu and every thing its working fine except the home and search button.... and when i press 0 the hidden menu is omening...
[LG Optimus Black] Diabu:
I have V10b and now i can't root my phone with Gingerbrek, alternatives?
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
Very thanks Ilko

A contribution:

-In KDZU - Guide.pdf said 3845#*970* and must be 3845#*970#

A question:

What is the difference between your KDZU guide and direct push Launch Software Update button?

Greetings
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
thanks, correction done to both upk and alone guide. Please download again.

well this button flashes directly bypassing B2C UI, so there is nothing but the log and the progress of the process. Since I never bricked my phone even when I got errors (renaming kdz) with this method, I feel it as the safest. But you are free to do as your wants.
[LG Optimus Black] MauricioAedo:
Well done with adding CWM 5 ;)

Question: I have always used only LG USB Driver 3.2.1 without problems. What is the use of other drivers?
[LG Optimus Black] vion77:
if i have a branded lg optimus black from orange romania and if I flash a european nonbranded firmware it will simunlock my phone!?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
@MauricioAedo

Their name talk for themself. There are not needed for flashing, it's more for distinguishing peripherals and avoid confusions when you plug the phone.

@vion77

I don't really know, simlock will probably stay for 99% for sure
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
No! Simlock remains. You need to unlock your phone with code.
[LG Optimus Black] ziiljuks:
Could someone who can pin this thread so it always stays on top?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
hmm, I would like to know if someone has successfully downgraded from a 11X to a 10X version. Updated the thread according to that. As any OS, it should be doable..
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
as your quote at first post,

I was downgrade from official 10D to original 10A KDZ with no error.

But I haven't tried v11 (yet).
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
I was downgrading from V11B to V10A without any problems.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
good to know that. So, you didn't get any error/bug ?
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
No, never. I did upgrades/downgrades many times. Flashed almost every possible versions.

Of course I've never flashed V10P for KU5900 and version for P970H as this would probably brick my phone...
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
Thanks. I'll update the thread. Coming :

apps : + ROM Manager

CWM 5.0.1.3

SRP with SU 3 beta

up to date guide (according to radkor's affirmation)
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
It's not possible to flash phones at the moment via Emergency Restore. Cannot run B2CApp (LG Mobile Update).

Maybe the're releasing Gingerbread... ;)

EDIT:

Now it's working again.

No Ginger...
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
My turn to have a question: how can I see LGP970's full list of firmwares in LG's site?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
We probably will never have access to that. We have to find firmware availability by ourself. It's certainly reserved to devs.

before luivit intervenes, I was checking links manually :o
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
How did you do that?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
well it's a boring method, I took an original link, duplicated it, then modified them using macros in notepad++.

then I was doing massive checks with a firefox plugin
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
I contacted luivit to check out something for me.

It's quite possible there's already a Gingerbread release that might work on our Black for the same reason I already have a .35 kernel (gingerbread) source on my hands (which unfortunately doesn't work with 2.2).
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
hmm I was thinking about the same thing. But so, what could be file name ?
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
The question is not the filename but the device ;).

If it exists, it's not under the name of LGP970 but something else.

I already have an idea of where it can be. Let's now wait for luivit's reply to the mail I sent him.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
eh ? Why LG would change that ? That's sensless. Sometimes they really do illogical things
[LG Optimus Black] dzynio:
hello everybody. i have problem... today i restart my lg ob after changing theme in nova script(i had nova v8) and after this restart phone does not goes to the system. Its restarts normal, i saw lg logo but after that, instead of bootanimation i saw black screen with blinking touch keys(menu, home, back, search). I pulled of battery for few seconds and put it back...turn on phone and...the same... :/ next i goes to emergency recovery and flash nova8 again and guess what? still the same!!!! after lg logo black screen with blinking touch keys! i tried to flash stock s/w with kdz updater, i tried 10a and 10e version and still the same! do u have maybe some other ideas how can i try to flash this that would maybe help me? or maybe i have to sent phone to service?

sorry for my english :(
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
You should wipe data in CWM Recovery...

Now when you flashed stock ROM you're screwed because you don't have CWM now and you can't flash it without entering phone to ADB. Service only...
[LG Optimus Black] dzynio:
yeah i wiped data and everything.. i tried also in lg mobile update phone recovery twice but no luck too ;/
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Hi all!

This afternoom I was going to flash nova v8, but trying to boot into recovery, my OB got stucked at LG logo... ****!

Many thanks for your KDZU manual. Everything ok, first flashed V10B and then Nova v8 without problems.

i have already install ginger and SuperOneClic 2.1.1 and nothing, and when i make recovery emergency firmware he put in v10b instead v10a :confused:

i want root firmware v10F anyone have make this
[LG Optimus Black] maludroid:
Could anyone having v10e rooted check, if remount works?

1. Run the terminal (eg. Android Terminal Emulator for Android | AppBrain.com)

2. Write:

$su
# remount rw

(my response is: )

remount: not found.
#

Please inform me wherther remount works on your v10e.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
In Emergency it puts newest official rom available for your device. If you want V10A use KDZ method.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
@Huexxx glad for you :D

@maludroid

my first update was 10E, I rooted it easily. But terminal returns me the same.

@jamespvz

did you tried the shell root process ? (SRP)
[LG Optimus Black] jamespvz:
yes i have tried but no root, i have root in v10b after that update to v10e and v10f and no more root
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
then, go back to 10b. Otherwise upgrade to 11B. It seems working with gingerbreak.
[LG Optimus Black] antonio1475:
Btw, I said some time ago that downgrading wouldn't work and the phone wouldn't work (I didn't say that it would brick the phone). Anyway, I yesterday downgraded to 10A without problems.

I can't say a definitive reason why it wouldn't work before (it wasn't 10A before, but anyway, nothing for sure...)

:)
[LG Optimus Black] jamespvz:
iam from portugal put v11b from france have problem?:confused:
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
@ antonio I remember of that, and that was the reason that I put a preventing message. I'm playing with kdzu tonight. I hope everything will be fine

@jamespvz there is no problem, you will can choose portugal in language selection
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Like I wrote earlier it's safe to downgrade. But always remember - HR before & after flashing. :)
[LG Optimus Black] jamespvz:
i install v11b and and now i can install cmw again nova 8 thks
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
UPK 3 : some changes are came. If you use SRP, please let me feedbacks.

Enjoy
[LG Optimus Black] monabi:
Done flashing V10A last night, but for me 'S/W upgrade' message appears when battery is in the phone then doing the same procedures mentioned on first page. ;)
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
Hi.

I wanna root my phone (v10g) it worked once but i bricked the phone as i replaced the frameworkres.apk with root explorer. had to do an emergency backup and now i cant root. it stops with protocol failure.. somone got idea how to?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
what do you mean by emergency backup ? check if phone is rooted. A backup and even a reset won't unroot the phone. Reseting also doesn't restore lost system apks. Solution is to flash.
[LG Optimus Black] i04055:
-problem solved-
[LG Optimus Black] knzo:
Shouldn't you update the first post with latest CWMv5 thread and instructions?
[LG Optimus Black] Alexino23:
i have a problem, when i enter *#06# don't appear the imei...i flash yesterday the phone with kdz
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Did you do Factory Reset after flashing? If no, do it.
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Try to reboot 2x.
[LG Optimus Black] TomByrne94:
I'm going to flash a stock rom to my LGOP after having the NOVA ROM installed, I'm following the instructions and when I go to disable the modems in the device manager there in only 1 modem there I can disable, why is that?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
@knzo hmm..? it's already the case. The latest is actually 5.0.2.0

@Alexino23 disable airplane mod :)

@TomByrne94 no matter
[LG Optimus Black] monabi:
Any testing done on firmware downgrade? Coz I'm just worried about the ext version. I've read that earlier firmware versions (V10a, etc) are using ext3 and later versions (V10e up?) are using ext4 filesystem.

Will there be no problems when doing the downgrade? Please confirm.

Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I've just tried 11B by bouygues over nova, and then gone back to 10E open coz of brand ****s. Don't worry, if you follow steps there will be no problems. After downgrading, do a reset and voila.
[LG Optimus Black] monabi:
:D brand ****s.. lol :D

Thanks a lot! I've just heard that Gingerbread will be rolling out soon so I'm thinking of flashing my phone back to its original firmware.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I'm thinking about the same thing, because on 10E my phone isn't recognized anymore. B2C detects a virtual update :D
[LG Optimus Black] monabi:
yeah. :D B2C might be detecting our location. maybe that's why.

By the way, I found something weird Ilko. Can you check this?

I'm from Philippines and default firmware is V10A (Based on the firmware list and also from the default firmware when I bought the phone).

But when I used the links you've provided, links for firmware check and flash check, it displays me the below firmware:

[http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP970/ATCITL/V10d_00/V10D_00.kdz

And before, I've also tried that link and entered my IMEI, it says V10A. :eek: which is really weird. :confused: :D

Any ideas Ilko?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
at the moment this link seems no more valid. I think official updates are provided separately from brands and LG (unbranded). If you bought your phone as unbranded by default, its IMEI is registered as unbranded. That's why updates differ from devices to devices.

Mine is unbranded and unlocked by default, the latest official update available for me (according to the country) is 10C.

edit : correct link > http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP970/ATCITL/V10d_00/V10D_00.kdz
[LG Optimus Black] monabi:
I also bought my phone unbranded and unlocked. And also tried it to the upgrade software when I newly bought it, it says 'phone has the latest software'. and take note, its still V10A :eek: lol.

I think in our country LG does not support firmware upgrades. I even called customer support just to ask if there will be firmware updates and they don't even know about it. :rolleyes: Good thing there's xda! :p
[LG Optimus Black] osabor:
It worked with me.

My phone was stuck on the message:

S/W upgrade Please wait

whatever I tried, nothing worked except this way.

There is an extra step I had to figure out myself, that is to close the LG Mobile Support Tool before hitting the Update Start on the KDZ.

Thank you rgabi88.
[LG Optimus Black] sacman74:
I have the same problem (windows 7)...the software update close with error and the phone stuck on SW upgrading message.

I think that my Nova Rom was lost, but when i reboot...Nova still there..but some scripts don't works like change gobernor or overclock.

What can i do to fix that and back to stock rom cleanly?...there are problem with ext4 partition?...

I like Nova, but every day i have de error "com.android process" and i want to star fresh to install CM7 if come soon.

Greetings
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
haha it's sad that we have to wait so much time before geting official updates. xda rocks :D

btw I gave up nova, there are too many inconveniences.
[LG Optimus Black] monabi:
haha.. for me, nova lasted only a day. :p actually less than a day. coz' I cannot flash kdz immediately due to my work.

I experience unresponsive touchscreen on nova. it is working but there are a lot of missed touches. :D

[LG Optimus Black] maludroid:
I'm coming back with it. Is there any way to solve it? I found my root running pretty well (e.g. font installer works), but I can't remount rw, which makes me worry - is it common, or maybe I did something wrong? Should I reflash?
[LG Optimus Black] pleyley:
How about LG Opitmus Black V10E?

I tried Gingerbreak.apk first = nothing happened (It's just loading for a long long time) then I tried SOC medthod, but it still doesn't work for my LGP970 fw V10E:(

How can I do? I bought it last week in Bangkok, Thailand.
[LG Optimus Black] maludroid:
Try SOC version 1.9.5. When you get black window, just close it.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
the place doesn't matter. I'm on 10E too, just follow the SRP method. Try several times if needed
[LG Optimus Black] pleyley:

SRP does exactly the same, without the need of entering comands manually.

In the last modification I replaced the way system is mounted for read/write.

before :

"mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system"

now:

"mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system"

both work, I don't know what is the best, but I haven't noticed any error until now.

Vodafone APN not working

Hello,

I have a LG-970 from Orange Romania, I used code to unlock sim, it works now in Vodafone Romania but the Vodafone APN is not working (the APN is set corectly).

Someone has the same or related problem ?

P.S. I tried diferrent firmwares, european open, orange romania etc.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
You should open your own thread since this is certainly not a firmware related issue.

Im running firmware version v10b, i've tried gingerbread, SRP and SOC but nothing seems to work, any ideas?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
gingerbreak normally roots both 10a and 10b easily and fast. If you still have problems then try rooting another firmware, like 10C or 10E.

[LG Optimus Black] vion77:
How do you obtained the unlock code?
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Look at eBay. Unlock codes for 3-4 $. Really cheap.
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
you said the key is the order of pushing files?some tips are very appreciate :P
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
yes, but not on the files themselve. Pushing must be done first for all files before runing the exploit. That's all. I'm doing some final tests (best context will be if the exe can send parameters by itself without running a "shell open" of a .cmd file)
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
Here we go. Here a new rooting process I've developed according to my knowledge and based on known methods. It uses the psneuter exploit in a better way, I hope. I called it BlackJack :D

1 clic, 20 secs, no errors. Tested on 10C-E / 11C (bouygues)

It should be P970 designed, but since "yaffs2" mount is used, it could be used for another P970-like device. These are suppositions. Tell me if I'm wrong.

USB Debugging ON / Unmounted SDC (preventing / optional)

Link/file removed, update coming soon

Enjoy testing !
[LG Optimus Black] memeru:
where the link sir

found it hahahaha
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Unfortunately it's not working for me. :(

Restarts my phone after pushing files.

V10e POL/POLAND

EDIT:

Yay, it works!

1st time it didn't worked and restarted phone. Second time it worked and now I have a root. :)

Never succeded with other methods. This is the first that's working for my device. :)

Many thanks Ilko!

PS. Can you do unrooting? :)
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I'm glad for you man :)

I never planed or thought about unrooting, it may be easy to do that.

you can see the code of the .cmd file by opening blackjack with 7-zip.

good to know : because of NSIS limitations, the process starts with a timeout delay of 13 seconds for letting enough time to the exploit to run. Because psneuter can't kill adb by itself, it needs an external intervention. So, 13 secs after having launched blackjack, it will send a command to kill adb, whatever is happening. That's why daemon starts a second time right after the exploit.

So, if you have firewall/AV which detects an adb connexion for 127.0.0.1, allow it. If it is done too late, you'll have to restart blackjack because of the delay !
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
EDIT:

Sorry, it works great. My problem was firewall. :P

V10e POL/POLAND rooted OK!
[LG Optimus Black] maludroid:
I got bootloop today (fonts issue), so I needed to reflash v10e open europe. I did it and I couldn't believe rooting v10e is sooo easy with blackjack now!

Click - root.

Click - cwm.

Done!

Thanks!
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
glad for you guys :D, it seems working well for some french users too (frandroid.com).

@maludroid yeah, I like when things are the most simple as possible. The thread has been viewed almost 100K times. I wasn't even imagining that when I started !

Request I ask to those who downloaded blackjack 1.0 (actual one in UPK is 1.1), as it uses "yaffs2" mount it may provoke an update issue with Superuser. When I rooted again with the "mmcblk0p8" method, superuser was updated without errors. Not sure about that, because on SU page, there are several feedbacks which mention that bug with the latest update.
[LG Optimus Black] Huexxx:
Wow, your avatar is so cool...
