Trojan?

Sorry, but as a noob, I can't post in that other thread.

It seems that the shttp3.exe in the LG Flash Package triggers Symantec's trojan detection. Some searching seems to indicate (assuming I'm reading all the cryptic virus sites correctly) that there is something to this, although it seems that different scanners find different trojans/viruses (can't post the link, but Google for "shttp3.exe" and "trojan"). I also found that the web site for this utility is blocked at work, because it's a "malicious site."

Has anyone seen this? Has anyone been able to verify/refute this?

Rick
[LG Thrill 4G] o0shaft0o:
There is no virus, Lestat would never do that ;)
[LG Thrill 4G] dwaynedman:
Just my .02 .....Get rid of Symantec !! They are known for scaring people into a virus frenzy.. Yes, it is possible that it is seeing it as a potential virus because shttp is a workaround from the usual porting of windows ip services. ...

Correct me if i'm wrong somebody please !!

Get yourself Comodo and save your money...

Regards,

Dwayne

PS: somebody on here has written a script that just uses shttp temporarily while

your doing the flash procedure, and then reverts your host files back automatically after your done. You should try it.
[LG Thrill 4G] Rick Tillery:
Symantec isn't really a choice on work PC.

I'm sorry I can't give the link yet, but if you'll Google you'll see Comodo classifies shttp3.exe as "ApplicUnwnt.Win32.ServerWeb.SmallHTTP.~A" or "UnclassifiedMalware" (I guess depending on the version). A number of scanners find issues with shttp3.exe. I'm not saying it is infected, only that it is doing something suspicious.

Rick
[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
shttp3.exe is in no way a virus. I've scanned with AVG and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and they check out good.
[LG Thrill 4G] Rick Tillery:
Back to square one

OK, I seem to be stuck.

With paranoia in tow, I decided to take the long way back to stock. Unfortunately, when I tried to restore the backup of my stock image I made to SD card after installing CMR, the md5 checksum failed. I'm not sure what I can do about this.

So ok, I tried following the above link. The first step is to ensure the su binary is up-to-date. But when I tried this, I get a failure downloading the manifest. This is true for WiFi and HSPA+. I Googled and found a suggestion to delete the su binary. But that didn't help (I'm not sure how it would have helped anyway).

So back to the original question. Can I use the LG upgrade process to upgrade without going backwards (as you can see above, I can't) without bricking the phone? Can I start at step 3 in the link above and succeed?

Rick
[LG Thrill 4G] Rick Tillery:
Thank you, sir. I hope it didn't seem accusing.

[LG Thrill 4G] Kaleptik:
It's cool, my friend.

[LG Thrill 4G] Rick Tillery:
Is it safe to ignore the su version update?

Short of this, can I override the MD5 checksum? I realize that image could be corrupt, but if I'm just going to replace it with the GB release, does that matter?

Rick
[LG Thrill 4G] dwaynedman:
You should just put your phone in recovery mode and update through the tool

with your IMEI #. It will give you the latest update !

If you need some help on that I think Lestat or somebody has a write-up

on doing this.

Good luck,

Dwayne
[LG Thrill 4G] Rick Tillery:
Can you be a bit more specific?

1. By "recovery mode," do you mean into ClockworkMod Recovery, or I should revert to stock (I made a copy of it after I rooted the stock ROM, but before I installed CMR)?

2. By "the tool," do you mean the official LGMobile Software Update, or the LG Flash Package referenced in the link above?

3. By "latest update," do you mean the file directly from LG, or the copy (v20p) linked from the link above?

4. If the latter in both previous questions, which set of steps do I need to follow from the above link? Can I do only 3 (LG Flash Tool), or do I need to follow 1 (Recovery Manager), 2 (Returning to Stock), and 3?

My friend had a different LG phone, with ClockworkMod Recover and CM7 installed. He reverted the CM7 to stock, but did not replace CMR with the stock recovery. Then he used the official LG upgrade method and bricked his phone. I'm trying to avoid this.

Are you saying I don't have to worry about this on the LG Thrill 4G? Can I go straight from the current CMR+CM7 configuration to the LG GB release using the official LG process?

If you mean I should use a different process, can you point me to it? As I mentioned, I run into dead-ends using the method linked above. And I'm not even sure whether I should be doing steps 1, 2 and 3, or if I should just use step 3.

Any and all help is appreciated, but I guess I don't understand the shorthand you're using here, so if you could be a bit more specific, I wouldn't feel so lost.

[LG Thrill 4G] JReeher:
Remove your battery and keep the phone unplugged

Launch the mobile updater tool

Hold the volume+ button plug the phone in and keep holding the volume+ till the computer downloads the drivers your phone is now in download mode

Once the phone is picked up go to customer support on the LG updater tool and click on recovery phone put your imie number in click check (make sure its the right model) an let the updater tool do its job. Once its done flashing launch into recovery volume- plus power plus 3D button do a complete wipe and factory reset and reboot your phone ... you'll lose cwm and root and be back to full stock
[LG Thrill 4G] Rick Tillery:
Bricked?

No joy. Following the steps, the upgrade stopped at 6%. Trying a number of times, it eventually forced me to exit the program (no more restarts). Rerunning the updater (and downloading the 420 MB image yet again on a VERY slow connection) I tried again and again, with different combinations of battery and plug order with power and volume buttons, but nothing worked. Checking elsewhere I found some issues had been reported with Windows Vista/7, so I tried on an XP machine. Now the "Start Updating" bar is red (it was always gray with W7). But now when I try to restore (or even update for that matter), it asks for my S/N (it never did that before) and then says it is "no longer able to upgrade." Reading around, it seems this is an indication of the device being bricked.

Rick
[LG Thrill 4G] dwaynedman:
It sounds like you are very close to getting it working Rick.

My update did the same thing, looped over and over until it

finally kicked me out. Just plugging and unplugging the phone etc....

And when my update stuck at 6% the last time, i took my battery out and then in real quick and that seemed to work.

Does the phone still vibrate when you plug the usb cable into it while holding volume..? If it does then I highly doubt that your phone is bricked, just in a semi flashed state....No worries

Should Rick be trying to run LG Updater as administrator ? I didn't, but it might not hurt.

[LG Thrill 4G] Rick Tillery:
I wouldn't have believed you early this morning, but now maybe...

I tried a bunch of different combinations...none seemed to make the app happy. I finally punted Windows 7 and moved to an XP machine, only to get the "no longer able to update" message. At that point I assumed I was screwed (effectively bricked).

It never really vibrated, but I was able to get back into CMR. Unfortunately NONE of my backups work at all. They all have MD5 checksum failures. I tried a trick I found online and got past that step, only to have it say a failure restoring /system. So much for CMR.

Which step? As I mentioned above, I can't even get the first step of the first section (updating the su binary). And if I start at the 3rd section, Symantec prohibits me from using shttp3.exe (I tried to unquarantine it, but it gives a permission error, even as Administrator, when I try to run it), so I'll have to use a different machine.

I was able to reinstall the CM7 3/15 release, so that's something. I was going to restore the stock recovery backup I made, but even that doesn't seem to work. I'm having issue with backups :-(

i have never been able to restore a backup. i dont know why... but i have tried several times in several different instances.

Hmm. That's not good news.

Yes, that's what I spend the wee hours of the morning trying without success.

I've been able to get back to CMR + CM7, but only when CM7 was in a zip file. Has anyone converted the release to a zip file yet? Is there any way to convert the KDZ file to a ZIP that CMR can flash?

Rick
[LG Thrill 4G] dwaynedman:
Yeah, like Reeher said....

Dont worry about Clockwork Recovery yet.... You dont even care at this

point if that works or not !!

The main thing is if you can get your phone recognized by your PC

in "Download/ Recovery Mode".

May want to try this...

1. Uninstall everything LG related for drivers.

2. Open the update tool and let it reselect drivers for your phone.

Go to- Customer service tab at top-Application, Manual & USB driver download

Enter IMEI and verify. Then let it download and install the drivers.

3. Open your device manager

4. take out battery, sim and any SD card

5. Hold Vol+ button and plug your USB in "Continue holding vol + approx 30 sec" Very important !!

while all drivers are loaded. You want to see it install and show up on

Com port (random #) LGE Mobile USB serial COM and -

Modems- LGE Mobile USB Modem

Now you may or may not feel a vibration, but you will see the PC recognize the device as stated above. If everything is working correctly, your screen should be black and never make it to CMR or LG logo.

6. Go back to LG update tool and go to Customer support again and

do the Recovery update with your IMEI #

7. If it does start to stick at 6%, pop your battery back in at this point and see what happens.

I bet this will work for you if you follow it to a T

Regards & Luck

Dwayne
[LG Thrill 4G] Rick Tillery:
I really appreciate the support. It did get me further by watching the device manager and ensuring things were connected correctly as I connected the usb cable while holding the volume up button (no battery, no sd, no sim). It seems sometimes it doesn't initialize the drivers correctly.

But unfortunately, although I get to 15%, it then aborts and gives me a "Problem with communication between cell phone and PC" error. I saw this several times last night on the Windows 7 machine as well. Also, apparently because it takes so long to download the image (VERY slow connection--is there any way to keep the 420 MB binary and avoid re-downloading it?), the first time the LG devices disappeared from the device manager. But after reconnecting, and they've returned, no joy. I've tried various combinations of the order of the usb plug, battery, multiple usb ports, etc. with same results. I tried disabling firewall and virus s/w. I have no idea why it's failing (heaven forbid they actually give any information on the failure).

Rick
[LG Thrill 4G] dwaynedman:
At that point, I would keep unplugging the cable while holding up on volume and plugging the cable in again while holding Vol. Over and over and over and over....

I had to do the same thing until it accepted my phone. I was in the same simi brick state you are...

OR

download V20P here

Eureka!

Over and over and over failed.

Here I kept getting to 51% before it has a page error and stopped. Watching the devices I find that at that point they go away, and then I get an OMAP 4430 question mark blinking as it's found and then not found, over and over.

A couple of times I got to the infamous 6%. The last time, I did a jig with the battery and usb that loaded up the devices and it continued. What do you know? It passed 51%...all the way to 100%.

By George, I think after 10+ hours of trying, it worked!

Many, many thanks to everyone on this thread (and those others that were referenced)!

If your bootanimation is located at system/customize/resource/, then you can download flashable.zip from the first post, put ATT_bootanimation in system/customize/resource/ using WinRAR with store compression, flash in recovery.

I modified the ATT Animation and inverted all the colors so it's on a black background. It looks a lot better than the stock one imo.
