Hm, I flashed a few times but never got this error :confused:

But i've used this tool so maybe it's worth a try

Am I stupid, or is the file not uploaded yet? Can't find it..
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] FailX:
Here we go:

Download Link: http://www.multiupload.nl/5O5ZNPNWPR

PW: xda

Because of my slow connection I compressed the file as 7z. You'll need 7-Zip to unpack it

Flashing Guide - the timing of replacing the file is a bit tricky, I recommend to put a copy of the image on C:\ partition first and then use cut/paste (because it's very fast) as soon as the original system.img.ext4 reaches about 480KB

Remember to install busybox after installation. How-To (step 5). In case you haven't installed Android SDK or ADB Standalone you can also do this in any Terminal Emulator on your phone

what is you guys recommendation for me if i want have latest firmware rooted?

mine now is V10A (downgraded). should i:

a. factory reset first then flash the latest firmware then run the new rooting method then reinstall all my apps

b. just flash the latest firmware and run the new rooting method and then all my application stay the same

c. just flash the latest firmware and factory reset and then run the new rooting method and then reinstall all my apps

Does anyone got lucky wih the new method? Please share your screenshot.

Thanks
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Android Development] FailX:
Here is how I flashed:

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/?jkk2dwewjmfz346

Turn off the device and put it in Download-Mode (Volume Up+Power)

Start KDZ_FW_UPD.exe and select 3GQCT and EMERGENCY

Connect the phone to your PC and click "Launch Software Update"

Go to "C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone" and wait. There will be a DLL and a DZ File first but after some time the image will apear and grow in size

If the file reaches ~480KB replace it with the modified Image

First I need to be sure that I'm going to be able to "revive" my phone after a "bad flash", brick or bootloops... :>

Second thing is that I want to cook the recovery with recovery.fstab, graphics.c, postrecoveryboot.sh to make sure that will be more possible to boot properly.

Any suggestions are always welcome.
