but where can I find v10 for smart flash?

I only have v20a in that format (2files)
[LG Optimus Black] adxgrave:
Just use the v10 on the first page, later you can use LG updater to upgrade to your country's official release.

[LG Optimus Black] albertwesquer:
is possible how??
[LG Optimus Black] rgabi88:
Very interested... how to get those files?
[LG Optimus Black] virgo2000:
best and easiest way ive ever tried
[LG Optimus Black] fjsw:
hmm... my understanding is: no one know how to read wdb files inside kdz... the format of "new" kdz (for P970, 990...) is different from older one, so old methods (LGTools, KP500 Util...) won't work at all
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
!!! WARNING !!!

Flashing with KDZU (Software Update [KDZ] or KDZ Updater) was blocked by LG.​

As you already know, this process is using internet connection via LG Mobile Updater (LG Mobile Support Tool). LG somehow blocked KDZU, and when you'll try to flash with KDZU, LG Mobile Updater will pop-up blocking KDZU flashing.

For now, only method for flashing P970 is using the Smart Flash!

Now we need to learn how to convert WDB to BIN/FLS or where to get them.

EDIT:

HERE's workaround for this.​
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
OK now, HERE's library of LG DLL files. There's also P970 DLL file. Can someone try using these dlls to unpack WDB (from KDZ) file?
[LG Optimus Black] tani89:
Thanks man.That was really fast, less then 3 min.

[LG Optimus Black] guigeek:
Hello.

First of all, sorry for my bad english...

I had a big problem last night. I was using smarflash and when I started, the phone shutdowned. It's now impossible to switch it on. (battery fully charged)

I think I made a mistake in the tutorial in the step 6. I used wrong drivers...

Is it possible to fix my phone, or do I have to destroy it ? :-(
[LG Optimus Black] G@vi:
Use V20B

Use V20B , is better than V20N. fast and smooth, better battery Life.

then I have a big problem with my ob. I flashed the v.10a with smartfshatool all goes well until the phone reboots. The ob reboots but I can not interact with the phone and after 30 seconds the phone turns of.I tried to reflashed but I get the same problem.I also tried with r & d but still the same problem.So any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I installed all of them but...sorry can i ask u have can i chek if i delted the imei?
[LG Optimus Black] Redpik:
dial " *#06# " and your imei will appear.

If you haven't selected " Erase entire CP", then your imei is ok.
[LG Optimus Black] tani89:
The problem is that after rebooting my phone stays on just for 30 sec..and for that 30 sec i can't interact with it...assuming that i selcted the comand haw can i restore the imei...nowing that my phone can go just in sw mode...

Thanks for helping and sorry for my bad english
[LG Optimus Black] Redpik:
If you just assume that means you didn't. You're phone is not booting up. Well, this time try flashing with "Erase entire CP" selected. I am almost sure it will boot. Then your imei might not be the right one. But look here : http://xdaforums.com/show...41&postcount=5.

some users can still flash by clicking directly on "launch software update" instead of "read phone info". However this method doesn't perform a hard reset so it's useless for bricked devices

hello all

i am quite a noob here but after a lot of reading i decided to flash my p970 in order to have the patched v20n that was mentioned in another thread.the thing is that smart flash tool always game error.i was on stock german v20n.so i followed the tutorial and i had

00:07.0 Sec *:EBL writing start

00:23.5 Sec *:Start EBL

00:23.5 Sec *:couldn't set capabilities to be used

00:24.5 Sec *:error

i tried again and i had "couldn't communicate with the port" issues and error again.i switched usb port and i had error again as it appears above.then i tried to flash the v10a because my phone had the "error lg security team" and i had the same issues.i uninstalled the drivers and then installe other drivers that i found here but i had the same.i tried to unbrick the phone with lg mobile update so i put my imei and select recovery but it was stuck and gave me a communication error too at 16% updating.finally i tried the r&d tool and i flashed the german v20n again and i got my phone working again.so what problem was that?if it was a usb problem would i be able to unbrick it with r&d?i still want to flash the patched rom but i don't want to go through all this again.i tried on windows 7 home premium x64.one last thing:when i tried to unzip the bin files of the the patched v20n to a different directory than the default that they would be extracted i received error.when i extacted them in the default directory it was fine.very sorry for the big post..

[LG Optimus Black] gsal:
sorry again for all this questioning..but i noticed that there is "mfc42.dll" in the smart flash tool directory..is there a possibility that this file creates a problem?i am asking because in KDZ updater we have to erase that exact file on x64 based systems because it creates problem.i want to try again so i would like to know if anyone erased the file or kept it.thanks in advance..

No. It doesn't affect SmartFlash. Try another computer.

[LG Optimus Black] Whammamoosha:
If you're on a 64-bit system and MFC42.DLL in the current directory is 32-bit (and vice-versa), there will be some problems. This used to happen with KDZ Updater, if the system was 64-bit the file had to be deleted to let the system's native DLL be used, because the included DLL was a 32-bit one.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
In this case mfc42.dll has nothing to do with that. I'm using SmartFlash with this file in its folder on a 64bit Windows 7 Ultimate and got no problems at all. Successfully flashed over 2 dozens of P970 with SF without ANY error.

Try with "Erase entire CP" but BE AWARE! - this will change IMEI. Then you can change back IMEI to your original. There's a tutorial in this forum about that.

I read somewhere here that erasing CP solved this issue. But, as I already mentioned, be carefull.

where is it to download.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Why dont you download ANY bin/fls files with about v10c or equally low? Then flash it and afterwards plug your phone to the PC, open B2C (LGUpdateAPP) and you will get the latest version for your phone. OR take the latest .kdz you can get and flash it with R&D tool + workaround. Also find it in my noob how to under unbrocking ;)
[LG Optimus Black] m21ahp:
tell me v10c ARB bin/fls rom

ok , thanks

please tell me v10c or other ARB bin/fls rom link.:confused:
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Dont you like these:

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

211 UAE(UNITED ARAB EMIRATES)	V10C	LGP970	102

212 UAE(UNITED ARAB EMIRATES)	V10D	LGP970	28

213 UAE(UNITED ARAB EMIRATES)	V10F	LGP970	60

214 UAE(UNITED ARAB EMIRATES)	V10G	LGP970	288

215 ARE/UNITED ARAB EMIRATES	V10H	LGP970	15

?

From here: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1

Link already posted above...Or flash ANY i repeat ANY v10c ROM from any country and then update it via B2C. Then you will get the latest version availiable for you, or what do you want exactly?

ARB should be UAE (United Arab Emirates;)). That should be what you want I guess ;)

I hope this gives you your most recent version:

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/cs_auth_model_check.jsp?esn=imei

Just change IMEI with your IMEI number in the back of the phone and download it. If this doesnt work, either wait till some1 gives you a link to UAE software, search the whole internet for it/or an arabic forum, or simply take the .kdz files and flash them with R&D testtool and workaround. It's quite easy to do... Or use emergency recovery in B2C tool and try to flash your phone this way. What for do you need it btw?
