no, I went ahead and started at the beginning and that solved that. I am currently reflashing all the .img files but when i get to the baseband file switch I get a segmentation error. I am trying it again but have to start from the beginning reflashing as the sw does not allow me to flash the baseband image 1st.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 PM ----------

reflashed baseband.

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

nice, I had not properly flashed the baseband before, now I am showing the proper version under *about phone*

OK, I can say as a newbie re: such things, I find this to be a very elegant solution. If one has the files downloaded already and has the slightest understanding of the commands needed then this debricking should take about 9 minutes.

Malninion, I can see better now the couple of areas where I misread/didn't read properly or just flat out didn't get understand. If you would like, I can outline those and post them here or send them to you privately.

nevertheless, kickass!

:-)
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Sure thing! I gladly welcome constructive criticism and to be honest I probably know a lot of what needs improvement just from the questions you asked along the way. So when I get some spare time, I'll work on it :-)
[LG Nitro HD] calvinjvo:
Hello , hope all is well. I have problem downloading the baseband.img posted on the first page of this thread. Can someone please help me to find the alternative link for that file. Thank you all very much
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Wow, I just found out why the links aren't working. Megaupload has been shut down.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
that's about 1/2 the internet right there.

Anyhoo, here's a few things I wrote down that were sticky points and how I brainfarting on them.

This is more of an *addendum for completely green android smartphone twiddlers* than constructive criticism :)

original instructions in bold & in order

add the directory containing ADB to your PATH

a quick course on the needed command line commands

cd .. moves you up a directory

chdir nameofdirectory changes you into named directory

dir shows all directories under your specific point in the navigation.

navigate to the proper directory by typing in:

chdir c:/android/android-sbk/platform-tools

Flashing the SU-640 rom:

1) Put your phone in download mode: power off the phone if it's not already, plug in the usb charger, and hold the volume up button while you power it on.

I kept misreading this, thanks to gte460z for clearing my error up on this. To go into download mode and power up the phone hold JUST the volume up botton while plugging in the charger.

extra step I needed

*verify phone is recognized at your computer by typing in

adb devices at the command line

the phone will be listed on screen if everything is connected properly

4) Select "CSE web upgrade test"

thia step pops a new window, at the bottom of this new window is the *upgrade test* button,

5) Take a deep breath...there's no going back :-) Press "Upgrade Start".

just click that *upgrade start* button, NO MORE BUTTONS!!! The process will begin.

This is one area where I really messed things up bad! I took notice of the *start upgrade* button in the original window and stubbornly concluded THAT was THE *upgrade start* button. lolz.

7) The update tool will proceed to flash your phone, but it will probably never complete "normally" mine never made it past 4% according to the tool. However, your phone should reboot once or a couple of times and then just be sitting idle waiting for you to go through the setup wizard. At this point, just kill the LG update tool process in task manager, don't wait for it to complete because it won't.

This takes a long time and I messed up here pretty bad too. I figured that once it got to 4% it was done and that's wrong, this step takes a while and the phone needs to sit at that 4% for a long time, until the the graphics pop and all that.

Restoring Nitro HD partition images:

1) Open up a command prompt and navigate to the folder you saved your recovery images to (hopefully you put them in the same folder, it'll make your job easier)

I put the files in the platform-tools directory of adb, it made it much easier to issue the commands

* if anything starts acting stupid, check that USB debugging has NOT disabled itself, this sabatoged my efforts many many times!

Thanks again Malninion!

:)
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Can someone please re-upload partition images somewhere else?

Particular I'm looking for baseband.img

Thank you.
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
V@no, you're welcome!

Baseband.img
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Thank you very much!

any chances for firmware.img and system.img? ;)
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
V@no, Firmware.img for you.
[LG Nitro HD] kernelpan1c:
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could re-mirror system.img :)
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
Here is System.img.

nice

nice america. 'gods country' on shutting down servers.

nice america great land.. for stomping on freedom.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
Stealing & distributing other's property is not what freedom is about. Certainly you can understand that.
[LG Nitro HD] LiViD:
We understand that, but it's not America's place to police the world's content storage containers. If Congress had it's way, every file-sharing service would be shut down.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
again, I don't think you understand the law, international treaties & jurisdiction or this lawsuit. At the very least, you should read the indictment like I have prior to trying to defend global content theft.

http://thenextweb.com/insider/2012/01/20/heres-the-full-72-page-megaupload-doj-indictment/

Moreover, you comletely wax over the fact that the U.S. laws are clear and dotcom/megaupload chose to use a United States server which is why HE opened himself up to U.S. jurisdiction.

no U.S. servers = no U.S. jurisdiction

that is more than clear.

more insight into the legality of this matter
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
And all that related to CWM how?
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
I don't know who you are asking that question of. I was wondering myself what pointing out the megaupload lawsuit's trampling of freedoms (incorrectly) has to do with a LG Nitro HD unbricking solution.

But I'm new here so I just went with the flow and replied. I'd start with that post if you are concerned with what that has to do with ClockWorkMod.

good luck!
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
can someone upload these files somewhere else? megaupload is dead. and filesonic wont let me download.
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
this LG Nitro is getting fun and interesting!!

i bricked my phone and when i flashed this Korea rom, everything works!

gps, phone, internet, even LTE works on this Korea rom. yes, you can select English on this korea rom!

so give this korea rom a try if you get bored of att rom! :)

disclaimer: i'm not responsible if you brick you phone. wait, i guess you can unbrick it. haha

update: wifi not working

I'm working on reuploading everything to multiupload. Should be up within a few hours, hopefully.
[LG Nitro HD] kernelpan1c:
Please do.
[LG Nitro HD] cloudraker:
Hoping for a little help here, as ive tried everything i know.

First, when i enter download mode, its just a little silver box with an arrow on the screen that says download mode. Is that correct for this phone? im just used to seeing i yellow icon and such in download mode.

That being said, when i follow the steps for unbricking in this guide, when i get to the part where it starts to flash, it tells me that it cant communicate with the phone and to restart. I have yet to have any success. Im stuck at the ATT boot loop. It goes past the LG screen but then i get the Rethink possible screen over and over and over. Any help would be appreciated.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
I need these too. Deposit Files, Hotfile and Media Fire all seem to be good.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Yes, that's correct image.

On the window where you select dmz file, make sure you press "CSE web upgrade" button (it doesn't look like button until cursor moved on it), then it should open new window where you need press "Upgrade start", then select country and language and off you go.

Dont' worry about messages it might show you, give it 5 or more minutes your phone should automatically start booting into the new rom, once it booted, you should kill LGUserCSTool.exe with task manager otherwise it will unnecessary reboot your phone several times before it give error.
[LG Nitro HD] cloudraker:
ok, so now, i have had a little luck. i think the kdz file i got was the wrong one. it was only 118mb and that seems small compared to the one i ended up with. Of course the only one that i could get a link that would work on was a later version of the firmware. The phone is booting, it is showing its an optimus LTE, so thats all good. NOW, the problem im having is that even when i have USB debugging selected, it never actually goes into that mode. so i cant root. Can anyone host the kdz file so that i can get it and try again with it? or have any suggestions on why debugging wont work?
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
SU640 V10f_00.kdz is pretty tough to find.

---------- Post added at 11:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

My understanding is we need SU640 V10f_00.kdz. I'm still searching and searching. I've tracked down everything else. Looks like LG closed off that link and you can only download the v10i version now.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
v10i works fine. The only difference is that you'll need use different rooting approach:

root ur su640
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
I think I'm about to give it a shot. I currently have a pretty LG logo picture frame.

---------- Post added 24th January 2012 at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was 23rd January 2012 at 11:26 PM ----------

I ran the kdz and I'm up and running on the Korean SU640 ROM. I freaked a little bit when all of the softkeys started to flash. My battery is rediculously low. I guess it didn't charge when it was looping and in download mode. I'm gonna let it charge for a while before I move forward.

The root method described worked like a charm too. ;)
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Okay, so I've slowly, but surely been updating the links to the partition images in my OP. I was having trouble with multiupload, so I settled on fileape. They have a nice clean interface and fairly nice filesize/bandwidth allowances.
[LG Nitro HD] mic.mayorga:
i get to the 4% part but my phone never restarts or boots up or anything...
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
How long is the "never"? give it 30 minutes I guess...
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
Yeah, it happened to me too for the first time. Only for the first time. Close the programm and try again.
[LG Nitro HD] mic.mayorga:
alright so i got to the 4% thing and my phone rebooted but it kept looping to the screen LG Optimus LTE bootscreen with the pink candy cane. thats it. i did vol dwn + pwr and got the android arrow and box with loading bar no text, then it rebooted back to the optimus lte screen. never got to the setup screen. tried the kdz again and my phone died. now when i plug it in i only get download mode... does it charge in download mode and why did it not get to the setup screen?!
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
What's the problem? Enter into download mode and run the KDZ repair again. In the second time it will run well.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
I don't think it charges in download mode. When my phone finished it was so dead I had to let it charge for about 45 minutes before doing anything.
[LG Nitro HD] cloudraker:
I did happen to find the 10f kdz file, the right one. When I get home tonight ill put it up and link it. I'm sure the 10i kdz works if people have said so, but I never once got the phone to go into USB debugging mode so root I g wasn't possible.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
I used to v10i. Both should work, but I like the superoneclick method more for rooting.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
As all know a picture worth thousand words, here it is in 7 steps:

Step 1 and 2

After 5 minutes at the count 90 my phone rebooted into new rom:

I need that Bell baseband.img file. For some reason, the AT&T ROM is making the radio work really sluggish.
[LG Nitro HD] daebaybay:
phone freezing when transferring system.img

did anyone experience the phone freezing while doing this last command?

"dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27"

adb shell shows that the system.img transfer is done but when i hard power off by holding the power button and then power on again, it goes into a endless bootloop.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Yes, I have. This phone has many weird issues...
[LG Nitro HD] daebaybay:
hey V@no, what did you do to fix it? i've been doing this since 10am @_@ and is driving me nuts.

stuck at the last step...

any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Your phone can freeze from that command, but it shouldn't result in a boot loop.
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
if you doing the boot loop, just go in CWM and reset data/factory reset.

then you will able to boot up phone!

then push those img files again.

cwm is hit or miss, sometime you have to do multi-time to get in.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Great job V@no, that's exactly how I did mine too.
[LG Nitro HD] daebaybay:
i dont have cwm on the phone yet.

right now i have the su640 v10i kdz flashed on and is rooted.

do i have to first try to get all the img files replaced with the stock ones before i can put cwm on the phone?

also, if the phone freezes while transferring system.img, do i have to keep trying until it doesnt freeze on me?

Thanks guys for all your input :)
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
put cwm first! so if something happen, you can go in cwm otherwise you will have to flash again if something happen.

the reason why phone freeze while transfering system.img is phone timeout in 30 seconds? try to set the display timeout to 10 mintues or try to touch the screen every minute to keep phone alive
[LG Nitro HD] daebaybay:
i was able to put cwm on the phone and was able to access it.

after that, i tried

"dd if=/sdcard/firmware.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1

dd if=/sdcard/boot.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p8

dd if=/sdcard/baseband.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

dd if=/sdcard/system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p27"

i changed the screen timeout to 30 mins so it wouldnt turn off on me but it still froze whenever i transferred system.img.

i still get the endless lg logo bootloop when i restart the phone but i was able to access cwm.

am i able to flash img files using cwm?
[LG Nitro HD] fishscale28:
In my humble experience and opinion I think it would be best for you to get the V10i kdz up an running, root, then push all the images (System being the last and use the ones from the beginning of the thread) and then once you are sure everything is up and running properly commence with CWM...

Just make sure you have everything cleanly installed and ready to go...don't use any recoveries or any of your old files as they may contribute to loops after the fact...start off as fresh as possible and you should be able to make some headway

Good luck!
[LG Nitro HD] daebaybay:
hmmm, that's what i've been doing tho.

flash v10i, root and then push all images. always get a hang when pushing system.img :(

i'll try it again. thanks for the suggestion.
[LG Nitro HD] fishscale28:
Maybe try a different system.img? Possibly redownload? And you're pushing the system last, right? I had an issue where I was doing the system and then trying to do the baseband and it wasn't working right...then I switched and did the rest in the correct order and was good to go
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
Are you giving the system image enough time? System image takes a loooookng time...to move.
[LG Nitro HD] jerdythekid:
So unfortunately I haven't been able to get very far in trying to unbrick my phone as I encounter UpTestEX_mod2_marwin saying "The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update." and won't allow me to do the upgrade necessary, any suggestions? :/
[LG Nitro HD] daebaybay:
I finally got back to stock.

Thanks to all who have helped me throughout the entire process of bringing my bell optimus lte.

With cwm, it made the phone go into an endless bootloop if i ever rebooted so i just pushed the stock recovery and all is well.
[LG Nitro HD] daebaybay:
I got that message too when i tried to redo the unbricking method for the hell of it.

At this point, i was already back to stock.

But yea, i starting to think LG has something to do with it coz no matter what i tried, i wasnt able to flash the su640 v10i kdz file onto the phone.
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
I have the same ****. I don't know what to do.

Is there any way to unbrick?
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Disconnect from internet before running that tool?
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
Yep, and got this message "Please, check your internet line and excute program again." Then I tried to launch update via KDZ_FW_UPD.exe and got pop-up window with this message "Program "MOD UpTestEX MFC Application" stopped running. Close program."
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
Could you post a screen grab showing the *already updated* message? Sorry to hear about this.:(
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
LGmobile support tool pops up saying "The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update." Please help..
[LG Nitro HD] fishscale28:
I tried exactly what you guys we're trying to do and the LG Mobile Support gizmo will always says that...and the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe always crashed. And when you went to Upgrade Now in the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe proggy always made it crash too.

The way to make it work is to use the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin and hit the "CSE Web Upgrade" Also make sure you have the Windows Enabler on...I just tried doing all that again and it worked just fine...also make sure the right drives are installed?

Good luck-I had the biggest headache with all this a few days ago but finally got it sorted...sure you will be able to do the same!
[LG Nitro HD] daebaybay:
Yea… i just tried it again and it gave me the "you already have the latest version" message.

Update: hmm maybe it is windows enablee thing. Gonna try again soon.
[LG Nitro HD] scott0:
Not sure if serious.
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
What's windows enabler?

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:04 PM ----------

Are there other programs available to flash the ROM?
[LG Nitro HD] fishscale28:
To be honest I'm not quite sure what windows enabler does but evidently it's required to get everything to jive correctly.

But again it's not the LGMobile Support Tool that gets used and unfortunately the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe is the only proggy that does the need. Maybe try downloading it from a different source...might be worth a try

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:09 AM ----------

There's a P970.rar floating around somewhere that I used (obviously don't use the drivers). It has the enabler, the correct updater, everything is packed nicely and does the job. Search for it and I'm sure you'll be able to find it (won't let me attach)...
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Ill try finding it.. so you're saying that you've just tried flashing and it worked? Can you give me the exact steps you took to do this? I've been trying this all day with no luck..
[LG Nitro HD] fishscale28:
Ill try going into more detail later but there was a picture tutorial a few posts back...that's a great start and I'll try to get more up soon. Good luck!
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Okay, somehow I actually got passed that part. Now it's telling me I have a problem with communication between cell phone and PC in the PHONE UPDATE window?
[LG Nitro HD] gte460z:
Here is the link to the P970.rar you were referring to with everything in it.

[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
I tried to flash with Windows Enabler ON too, but I got another pop-up window: "Please contact to LG Support".
[LG Nitro HD] fishscale28:
I think you're on the right track...make sure you have CDMA selected as the phone type and see if that helps...

Check V@no's post 134 and follow the pics exactly...make sure every screen and every option is mimicked exactly and per the pics...I know it sounds a little silly but he has it nailed down and that will help you out.
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
Believe me, I tried all of the possible ways I know to unbrick my device. Neither didn't work. Maybe is there another way I don't know to unbrick my device? I'll be happy to any advice you know.
[LG Nitro HD] jerdythekid:
So, I get to the 'Phone Update' screen, and during the analysis portion it gets to about 36% and it says "checking the phone #" and then it stops.

[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Have you tried LU620135_00.kdz ?

I didn't work for me (boot loop), but perhaps it will let you install that, then the V10i_00.kdz

Hello fellas. I have been following the exceptional works of xda developers for some time. Right now I need a couple of advice, any help will be greatly appreciated. I promise to buy a 24 pack of beer to show my gratitude. I'm really stuck and cant figure a way out.

Now lets hop on to my problem:

I have an at&t P930 which i dont usually power off. I flashed byte64's cwm recovery some time ago, by the way. I dont remember if I did a data wipe or not (probably did). Today I decided to do a cold boot, and fell into a damn boot loop. The problem is, even the phone charge screen is not appearing. Battery's out of juice (I assume). I manage to enter the download mode but I dont know if its really in download mode or just enters it and "download mode" image gets stuck on screen. I have been trying to flash the v10f.00.kdz but it gives the following error : "W param:100 L param:2"

Please help guys, a return to AT&T is out of the question. I must figure this out.
[LG Nitro HD] daebaybay:
Yup, keeps saying i have the latest version still.

Hope this isnt permanent or there is a new way to unbrick.

I talked to a bell store rep today who told me htc phones are getting the ics update and lg phones should be the same time too.

I guess until then, i'll have to stick to the rooted stock.
[LG Nitro HD] rsalan:
Yeah it was rooted. I just told em I restarted my phone and it got stuck on the LG boot screen. They tried to hard reset it (which didn't work obviously) and then ended up giving me a replacement no questions asked.
[LG Nitro HD] Machzelet:
Guys, I think I know why restore via update tool did't work. In Korea, celebrated the New Year and it lasts 15 days. It began on January 23. Until that day, everything worked and then stopped. It seems that until the middle of February, we deep in the ass. In Korea, the New Year is one of the most revered holidays.
