[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] milleirish:
I bought my SR last week and I have noticed that there is a spot for the notification light next to the front facing camera. But when I receive a txt or email the light doesn't come on. Is there an option in settings to turn on the light or is there not a light. I am also using the Sky Cream from.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
There is no led notification on skyrocket :( but we do have bln.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] milleirish:
I'm sorry bln?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
That's light and proximity sensor. Not an LED

Sent from my HTC PH39100
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fvargasfrank:
Get bln it works great with the skyrocket, it uses your lcd for messages, look it up its on the market and try the free one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Pirateghost:
but it only works if you are using a kernel that supports it....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fvargasfrank:
Sorry, Yes im using FAUXS OVERCLOCKED KERNEL with SKY ICE CREAM SANDWICH.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] milleirish:
OK ill look it up, I am using sky cream but I'm using the kernel that comes with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DarienA:
NoLED works fine on the Skyrocket for giving you screen notifications.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MAGiK9:
BLN only lists a few Galaxy S devices that are supported. The Skyrocket was not one of them. Cool concept, but I couldn't get it to work on NeXuS 2.0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
BLN works for our skyrocket. Do you have a kernal flashed that supports BLN?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] slakker97:
Its not working for me I'm using faux kernel .... Im assuming it's because my screen comes on when I get notification. Any idea how to fix that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] fventura03:
nice, it works!. I'm using nexusm0d V2.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] eagercrow:
turn your screen off when you get a notification or text message.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jedah:
I'll second this. This is what I'm using. In the settings though: I would suggest putting it to sleep at night so it doesn't drain battery while you sleep (still lights up the screen alittle bit otherwise).
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
I NO LONGER SUPPORT THIS THREAD ANYMORE. IF YOU WANT TO HIJACK THIS THREAD CONTACT ME.

SmartFlash Tool completly erases device memory during flashing.

Phone will make Factory Reset at first boot after flashing!

You can upgrade and downgrade. You can downgrade from V20N too!

This also will remove phone lock if you forget unlock code or pattern. (phone lock, NOT simlock or network lock...)

This method doesn't need internet connection. :)

If you want to flash an LG P970H download correct ROM from link below.​

With this solution you can unbrick LG Optimus Black P970.

It fixes bootloop, "ERROR LG Security Team", and BSOD - blue screen with green writings (untested).

Only requirement is ability to enter in to S/W Update mode and not broken hardware.

Tested on: Windows 7 Ultimate x86, x64 and Windows XP Pro SP3.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Downloads:

- SmartFlash Tool (mirror) [password: radkor@XDA]

- stock ROM V10A EEU XXX with .bin & .fls. [CRC MD5: d880b8834400575b5827bafbf29a745e] - DepositFiles, FileServe, WUpload.

Other bin/fls ROMs are HERE. (All these links are working again!)

You need to install LG Mobile drivers. They are located HERE. [CRC MD5: e4614071e72c0292d3a8238908b5c7ba]

1. Unpack SFT.rar that contains SmartFlash Tool program.

2. Unpack, preffered C: drive, firmware pack BIN_LGP970AT-00-V10a-EEU-XXX-MAY-09-2011_0.zip

Inside there will be 2 files: LGP970AT-00-V10a-EEU-XXX-MAY-09-2011+0_AP.bin i LGP970AT-00-V10a-EEU-XXX-MAY-09-2011+0_CP.fls.

3. Run B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe

4. Choose:

1) ROM copy D/L bookmark

2) in Select mode choose Normal mode

3) choose CP file: LGP970AT-00-V10a-EEU-XXX-MAY-09-2011+0_CP.fls

4) choose AP file: LGP970AT-00-V10a-EEU-XXX-MAY-09-2011+0_AP.bin

*) connect phone in S/W Update mode with battery in it (on the phone that is switched off, plug in USB cable WHILE HOLDING Vol+ button)

5) choose COM port.

6) choose LGE Mobile USB Serial Port in Communication Driver

7) click Start and wait till end.

It takes about 3 mins to flash.

After successfully flashing, phone will reboot and make Factory Reset.

And that's all! :)

Settings:

Flashing:

Finished:

Now your phone should be unbricked and working.

I will not take any responsibility if something goes wrong when you trying this solution. For me and many others it worked well.​
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
To add, it is a fast flasher compared to RDTT. :)
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Exactly! It takes only 3 minutes to flash. :)
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Don't you love that? Quick and easy... :p Thanks for the list link bro.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
AFAIK it's the safest & quickiest solution for flashing Black.

Now we only need newest firwares in bin/fls format, eg. V20N. Didn't find that yet.
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
Yeah, I used this one when I had BSOD way back. And I hope there'd be more. What I'd like to know is are they extracted or came from source? The method how to extract is interesting if they are.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
I think that these firmwares "leaked" from LG or were downloaded from their servers.

I will ask the guy who posted these files.

I've downloaded all these firmwares on my HDD as a backup if hosting delete this.

It has approx 20GB. :o
[LG Optimus Black] fongnd:
Hello all expert,

Newbie here and want to be safe in uncharted territory on flashing my phone, never done it before.

Does the "COM Port" matter, how do we know which port# to use.

Thanks,
[LG Optimus Black] Redpik:
COM port is automatically assigned when usb is connected. I know in smart flasher, if you select lge mobile usb only one port will be available.
[LG Optimus Black] fongnd:
Redpik,

Thanks for your quick reply, really appreciated.

Can we use this tool to install the cook rom REDY2006 put together V20N ROOTED.

I have V20N installed, unfortunately cannot get it to root. Thinking of installing REDY's rom.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
No.

It's only for stock LG ROMs in BIN/FLS format.
[LG Optimus Black] fongnd:
You guys has been awesome and informative.

My ultimate gold is to have V20N rooted. Need to get rid of all the bloatware.

I have the German V20N installed and could feel the efficiency in terms with responsiveness and battery compare to my previous V10D

Now.... to get to REDY's cook rom V20N that are rooted.

Do I use this tool to downgrade to my previous stock Rom V10D and have it rooted and install Rom Manager, then use the Recovery menu to install Redy's Rom

do I need to do any wipe before installing Redy's Rom

thank you guys!!

PS: All of these may be boring to the experts, but are very critical to beginners like me.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
Exactly. You can even use V10A provided in this tutorial or download yours V10D from list that I linked at the top.

When you'll be rooted on V10x, run CWM, make full wipe (data, cache, (advanced) dalvik cache), and then install Redy's zipped ROM.
[LG Optimus Black] l0gandroid:
smart flash

Flashing to a stock room, will unlock the phone to any operator?
[LG Optimus Black] fongnd:
Nope.

Flashing, Rooting and Unlock-Phone are totally different things.

If your phone is locked to a operator, you need to enter the secret menu by pressing 3845#*970# then enter a unlock code from one of the sub-menu. The code above is assuming that your phone is a Optimus Black P970.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
No. This method only unlock code or pattern used to lock phone, not SIM.

In short: this will not remove SIMLock.

Nope, it's 2945#*970#
[LG Optimus Black] monchyrcg:
Thank you for this, is PERFECT!!!!!!!
[LG Optimus Black] Ekkkke:
HI radkor,

thanks for this tutorial. It is indeed way faster than KDZU or RD. However it doesn't work on my phone. Tried several times (KDZU and RD do not work either).

Phone gets in s/w mode. Tool starts to flash. Shows no errors and phone restarts. Yet it stucks with LG Logo and buttons flashing. Stays like this for hours. I tried several times and also used KDZU and RD with several KDZ-Versions and changing options.

It is strange to me that all the programs tell me that the phone is flashed and the phone restarts, but still gets stuck with LG Logo.

Have you seen this? Or should the Tool definitely work?

THX

Ekkkke
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
@Ekkkke:

This flashing tool works if phone is 100% hardware OK.

Maybe your phone hardware is faulty...

Did phone made a Factory Reset after flashing while rebooting?

Why it is bricked? You tried to flash wrong firmware or what?
[LG Optimus Black] Ekkkke:
thanks for answering! I rooted the phone once but I did not flash anything. Made one official upgrade a few weeks ago. Then I turned off the phone a few days ago. Now it doesn't start. Always gets stuck with LG Logo and buttons flashing.

When using the tool to flash it the S/W screen disappears, phone seems to reboot but gets stuck again with LG Logo. The tool tells me that everything is complete. How can I see if it makes a factory reset?

Probably you are right and the hardware is broken. I may use the LG Tool to flash official V20N with recovers (that program as well tells me everything went right). Then I probably send it to LG.

This Forum was my last hope. Thanks for helping! And the tool is great and fast anyway!
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
hi

whats the reason i alwayz got error?

we cant communicate with specific port, or ebl start error, or any other... it cant complete the flash process
[LG Optimus Black] juniorxdb:
guilardi, can I flash the V20O ROM from Europe on P970H? Is the .bin or .fls files ONLY the baseband? My idea is flash the system more recent, the V20O makes the video call from GTalk...

I lived in Campinas from 2009 to 2010, and I miss this city... I worked in The Army, located on Anhanguera.... I'm in Rio now, I'm carioca, but I want peace... Crazy life in Rio... many missions...rs

thanks!

Hello I'm new here.

Can anyone help me?

I have a lg optimus black, and I want to root my phone, so the problem is: I have a mac, and can't open .exe files, can anyone tell me a way to root my phone without use a pc?

Thanks
[LG Optimus Black] re4lsk:
bootcamp.

And a mac is a PC.
[LG Optimus Black] XxikKo:
Is that the only way?
[LG Optimus Black] re4lsk:
Unfortunately for you, all the rooting apps are made for windows or native(Gingerbreak) and even the work around using smart flash and a patched bin file can only be used with windows.

well i have lg p970/ lg optimus black. got it from my friend. but the problem is its bricked. stuck at LG bootscreen, then i tried the solution found on first page. completed and it's still stuck at LG bootscreen. any fix on this?
[LG Optimus Black] toptakachi:
Thx. so much
[LG Optimus Black] Orcusen:
Hello, I wanted to mention to my problem.

I did not recognize the SIM card, so I deleted the imei with SmartFlash tool and now I can not restore it.

I am using XP and I have TUTTY.

When I write the code gets me the following answers:

Type AT -> OK

Type AT% IMEI -> xxxxxxx

Type AT% IMEI -> (write the IMEI of the phone box) IMEI WRITE ERROR

What am I doing wrong? ... I have read the forum someone with the same problem but I had a write failure.
[LG Optimus Black] scamex:
Did you put the "," between each xxxxxxx ?
[LG Optimus Black] Orcusen:
Putting the code like this:

type at% imei = 1,2,3,4,5,6, .... (numbers are an example) I get the message ERROR

Not what the problem

EDIT ---------------------------------

I have to put the quote at the beginning and end of the IMEI???

type at%imei="1,2,3,4,..." ???

EDIT 2 --------------------------------

I think the problem is that TUTTY can not write IMEI on the phone again and that the code is written correctly ... but not for sure because I am very green in these subjects.

It may be due to poor configuration of the phone?

It may be for XP?

What do you think?

I'll try to rule hyperterminal to be a problem tutty
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
When WRITING IMEI you MUST write commas between your IMEI digits.

35677204xxxxxxx - WRONG

3,5,6,7,7,2,0,4,x,x,x,x,x,x,x - GOOD

And do not write quotes. You need to write exactly thr same as i wrote earlier in tutorial.

You`re using Tutty or Putty? Use Putty or HyperTerminal.
[LG Optimus Black] Orcusen:
Not that reason, sometimes I take the code and others do not

Where is the problem?

CHECK DIGIT ERROR:8
[LG Optimus Black] jibbzy:
I think link to the LG Mobile Drivers is dead... But I had got them from another site.

Update: Thanks for all your help XDA my phone is unbricked! PHEW! :)

I have a problem, after flashing my extracted v20N with this method my OB turned off and now it doesnt start anymore.

Nothing, on battery, with usb plugged in.

try turning the phone of pres the volume up button and puttung in the usb kabel that is connected to your pc than follow the steps on page one.
[LG Optimus Black] fobar:
nah, you dont get me.

what i am trying to say is that it isnt starting up at all, even when i try to use the above method (removing battery, holding vol+ and putting in the usb cable) the screen stays black. in fact it wont show up anything, maybe it was just a coincidence that it happened after the flashing.

i got my phone back today from my SP's repair center and they changed the mainboard. i guess its just an hardware error.

if no one has an ideo what i could do i'll get it repaired today.

YESSSSS YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!! I revived it!!!!!!!!

i have searched that you can go to S/W mode at start up and not just by turn off the phone.

Just remove the battery hold + key then plug USB, then it will go to S/W mode immediately, you can now flash even without the battery.

hello friend if actalizacion mode is broken because my optimus black if it comes in w / s, but I can not update or flash with smart and Lg program, smart flash apparently do everything correctly but when you restart the phone again rom that has nothing unchanged.

I have installed CM9 unoficial and I can not enter the recovery or to flash and if I delete any application or anything mast cell or a system folder nothing happens. I reboot and delete what comes back as if he had not cleared and what works well and install restart so this appears only installed with the rom, is like having a copy of Restraint and restored but I have only copy I have not even put the sd and I hope you can help me sorry for my English, if I'm in the wrong place apology is not where to ask.
