This technique is not working

Hello, thanks for this tutorial.

I have a LG Optimus Black that is stucked on LG Logo, I did this tutorial and it was flashed successfully, but.. it's still stucked on LG Logo. The 3 buttons below are flashing and I cannot even charge my phone (it stucks on LG Logo again). I got 2 LG P970H's bricked this way, I got them with Android 2.2 Froyo Stock ROM from VIVO (BRAZIL) and the problem happened one day when I was using my smartphone normally.

Please can someone help me with this?

Optimus black p970 bricked?

Hi all, this is my first message on this forum. I lurked for a while but i don't find what i need so... here we are.

I have a P970 optimus black and it stop at logo with blinking buttons.

I tried to use Lg Mobile Support Tool and I unbrick the phone twice, but the third time (now) it don't work.

I tried to flash (with SmartFlash tool) V10A, V20S, V30B ICS 4.0.4 but the phone is always stuck at logo (sometimes it do boot-loop).

Any advice?

P.S.:Sorry for my bad english.
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Sounds like a boot loader issue. If you had a stock ICS phone and tried to install a custom ROM, you probably rooted the device but failed to unlock the boot loader.

ICS versions of the P970 were the only versions with a locked boot loader. Having root and unlocking the boot loader are not the same.

There are tutorials on this formun that detail unlocking the bootloader.
[LG Optimus Black] toxxxxx:
No, i don't use custom roms...

I buy the phone branded TIM with Froyo, then i try to upgrade to ICS but the LG mobile support tool upgrade the phone only to Gingerbread, branded TIM.

Then the phone goes well for 3 months then it start to bootloop; so i use the function emergency recovery of LG mobile support tool and it upgrade the phone from Gingerbread Branded to ICS NOT branded (:confused:)

It works well for some weeks and now it is stuck at logo boot screen.

As i say i try SmartFlashTools with stock roms but it don't work (never used SFT before).
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
Well, whether you had ICS before or not, you do now.

That fact that your phone works well for a bit then starts going screwy is puzzling. I'm guessing it's a hardware issue. If you can get to recovery, I'd recommend a full factory reset.

You may want to play with the sdcard; I wonder what happens with a bad SD card? Will it affect booting? Dunno.
[LG Optimus Black] toxxxxx:
Yeah i have already tried to flash ROMS with or without SD card, but it doesn't work...

If the problem is hardware, is LG assistence the only way?

EDIT: using SmartFlashTool i have already installed a patched ROM V20S (this ROM has CWM Recovery).

After the flash i went in CWM recovery and there i choose wipe data/factory reset, then reboot; but it doesnt' work...

Are there other memory to clear/wipe? Is there something else i can do in recovery?
[LG Optimus Black] androcraze:
If you installed factory ICS, you'll probably have to unlock the boot loader, even if you step down to an earlier custom ROM.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
SFT does flash the unlocked bootloader once u flash Froyo or GB :p so no need and also no way to unlock our bootloader.
[LG Optimus Black] toxxxxx:
Yes, today i tried to flash once more V10a, but the phone is still on lg logo and buttons are blinking...

Hi seems I got the same issue, did you get if fixed?

Unbricking LGP970 Question

Links other bin/fls ROMs don't work. Can you load to other file sharers like mediafire, etc.? Thanks.

So, to unbrick we choose "ROM Copy D/L" option. What is the "Normal D/L" then?!

Also, can I just reconfirm that your tool can ONLY be used to unbrick LGP970 and NOT for upgrading new android firmwares? Do I need KDZU, then?
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
I've got all these firmwares on my HDD. Uploading them will be very difficult as they all weights over 20GB and I dont have any premium account on any file share hosting. :(

If anyone have trusted own server when I can upload these files, please PM me.

Normal D/L is for some other files. I don't know exactly. Better to not touch this!

You can upgrade or flash any firmware you want from this list. You can do upgrade from V10A to V10G or downgrade from V10G to V10A or even from V20N. It doesn't matter.

All you have to do is to have desired firmware in bin/fls format.

Unfortunately there's still no Gingerbread firmware in bin/flas available yet so if you want to upgrade do GB you must use KDZ.

Unfortunately, I don't have a premium account to share with you. I was thinking bittorrent sharing, but 20GB is a lot to ask someone to upload via bittorrent servers. :)

That's good to know 'cause I was thinking of reusing KDZU - which I have accidentally bricked my wife's LGP970 with and wasn't looking to use it again! I'm sure KDZU is fine; it's probably my mistake and not the fault of the software...

Hi all!

I have a problem flashing the V20N_00 rom to my phone. I`ve flashed the korean release with SmartFlash, everything was ok, untill I noticed most of it is in korean )

When I start flashing using UpTestEX doing everything by the book (following all steps), the setup doesn`t start. After I click Upgrade start, instead of asking me about country and language, b2c starts connecting to phone and says that phone is up to date, so I don`t need to update.

If I activate Start updating button, it downloads the firmware(can`t tell wich one), it installs it, and after restart I end up with the start logo and sound all over again.

Theese things happen all the time, even when I use KDZ_FW_UPD.

I`ve tryed all possible combinations of methods, firmwares (with original names, also with changed names) but nothing. Pls help! I`m starting to learn korean!!! :P

Thank you in advance!
[LG Optimus Black] Redpik:
Use smartflash to downgrade to a V10. Then use kdz or R&D tool to update to V20. :) Korean black has different radio and it's called KU5900. Smartflash is the safest way to unbrick your phone.
