my vol+ button didn t work for some time, I don t know mybe there is dirt behind it or someting like that.

I tried to flash the gpt 1 partition from recovery to see how it looks like, but when I tried to flash back the gpt 1 of the p920

I saw why it couldn t boot wih the gpt1 of ics flashed in recovery. We need another command to flash it. I tried to install a

zip, tried dd if=/sdcard/gpt1.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 and even tried the dd command postet in the sg3 forum about pit

information. It get copyd but if you try to type parted mmcblk0 print there is an error. I will "edit" todays evening my usb cable

like it is mentioned in the flash bin forum (put a 910kohm resistor between the 3rd and 4th pin) and hope my lg got recognized by my pc.

I can still acces to my twrp recovery so if somebody had an idea on how to flash gpt1 with adb please post it or pm me.

EDIT:

oh I just remembered that the reason why it doesn t boot without the gpt1 flashed could be that the partition numbers have been

changed

So Clearly, the p920 gpt is the same of SU760, Just the v30b has the gpt2 at number 19 while the 29b has it at 18... Just the sizes of some partition are different

Theorically could work with dual boot method just making the partitions not fitting the original P920 gpt
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
I injected V30B GPT1 in my BOOTV21E just to have it flashed (normally) in the P920 so after i rebooted i checked from CWM and it still gives error...

[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
So is not more needed the dual boot attempt if someone of you is going to work directly on partitions
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Forget dual booting ICS for now.

We should first make it work on p920.
[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
I supposed the dual boot as a way to enlarge some partitions without edit the "P920" stock partitions, but, anyway is more straight in that way.

[LG Optimus 3D] starblessed:
Hi Guys,

I thought you might be interested in some correspondence I've had with LG Australia. Unfortunately, the emails below don't tell the whole story.

I work for a small computer shop in New Zealand that is part of a family of much larger stores, and we occasionally stock LG Product. Initially, I called LG as and LG customer, and asked for information regarding the ICS/JB roll out. For 35 minutes, the only answer they gave me was

Anyway, after speaking to managers and reps in the customer service dept, I thought I should probably get down to brass tacks, because this is not only affecting me, but also our customer base. I mentioned that we are in fact a stockist of their product, and wouldn't you know it? Suddenly, I'm on to Dealer Direct Support, and have a direct line straight to a rep.

Now here are a few interesting tid bits. LG Australia DIDN'T KNOW that ICS/JB had not been rolled out to its customers. They also DIDN'T KNOW that there was a huge customer backlash. Finally, they DIDN'T KNOW that LG Mobile had stated categorically that ICS would be rolled out for our device by the end of the 3rd quarter of 2012.

I think that me bringing it up with them has caused a little bit or a stir in their offices. After a few phone calls, the rep I was dealing with was starting to get rather frantic (although calm and polite).

Anyway, Ill keep you posted as I get more info.

Cheers!

Try to open the 0 - gpt1 with 7zip, there's a file called 0.img which in V29b has a size of about 7 mb, in v30b about 15mb. EFI-MBR.

7zip says it's damaged...

May it say something?

----

I guess someone already tought to install the v30b on a SU760, install CMW (if possible), then do a backup and try to do a restore on a P920, maybe with some mods... or do a CMW zip with system folder taken from the SU760 by software like android commander, then resized and/or edited..
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
we already have the memblocks that i backed up from an su760 with v29C about a month ago
[LG Optimus 3D] vitorcruzbr:
But theoretically 30b has less bugs than 29c, or am I wrong?
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
yes it has less bugs BUT the main bug till now is that we haven't found a way to port any of them in p920 :D :D
[LG Optimus 3D] vitorcruzbr:
Yes I know, but ain't it better to work on the latest since there'll be less bugs for you guys to correct once it's ported? Just wondering, guys
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Yes it is better.

Although lg updates the ROM every 2 to 5 days with a new version or same version but differentt file..so lets try to boot any of them and we will see when final version comes what we will do..

(or should we WAIT for LG to release the official and then work on it ? :silly: )

SOURCE: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-4987848-1-1.html
[LG Optimus 3D] vitorcruzbr:
These updates must be a good sign, maybe it means that LG has given us a little of our deserved attention and is trying harder to deliver us ICS. I hope so.
[LG Optimus 3D] starblessed:
Hi all, I just received this from the LG rep :

Well... that sounds like a bit of a cop out. I've replied with this :

Lets see how this ends...
[LG Optimus 3D] Farhad4500:
i think LG never release ICS for p920 so only hope is su760 rom and xbsall with other developers

when final version comes for su760 i am sure thay will have a gift for us ...... ICS ...... :good:
[LG Optimus 3D] engashelpdesk:
This is my first time to post here in XDA, I have a lg su760, I live in the Philippines and I'm been visiting this page for the past few months to check if ICS is available already for my phone. I'm not a developer, I'm just a simple android user and I really have little knowledge regarding android.

After seeing the links above I was excited and I'm thinking to apply this to my phone.

Question / Confirmation:

1. Is this kdz file a leak ICS only or is it official?

2. Do I need a CWM to flash this kdz file?

3. If I successfully updated my phone using this kdz, will it affect my network signal? Will I be able to use my phone even if I live in the Philippines

4. Is there a chance that I will brick my phone?

Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus 3D] wayno140:
It is leaks for s-u760 and I would wait to flash and see how it works for the people testing it already but it is up to you and maybe someone else can advise you to flash it then by all means do it
[LG Optimus 3D] Rho'd Berth:
Everytime someone posts that he doesn't expect LG to release an official ICS for the p920, more pressure is removed from LG to actually deliver ICS. Because if we do not expect ICS, why would they deliver?

This way 'no official ICS' will become a self fulfilling prophecy.

So please STOP the ongoing whining that LG will never deliver, because that will make them never deliver.

If we want to build up pressure, just post: "Hurry LG, I'm waiting for ICS on my device! You promised us and now we trust in you."

Nobody wants to serve whiners, no matter if these whiners have valid points or not.

People want to deliver to people who have trust in them and expect the best. And LG is after all populated by people. I don't know how many of them visit XDA, but what I do know is that if they are reading this thread, they will become less enthusiastic to deliver ICS to us.

And LG: I'm going to stick to this phone for a long time b/c I want a 3D cam phone. So deliver ICS please asap as you promised, because I know you can do it.

NEWS from LG and ICS

http://lgoptimus3dblog.blogspot.de/2012/10/offiziell-ics-release-in-due-time.html
[LG Optimus 3D] drone99:
Hmm, deja vu. I read dozens of statements like this from LG. Due time, when finished, optimizing bla bla bla. Come on you damn LG, hurry up..
[LG Optimus 3D] botson71:
Good news but we keep reading the same statements from LG Korea and LG Singapore every week.

On the other hand, I don't understand why people here were expecting the ICS on Q3 as promised by LG. LG never keeps their promises.

Personally I'm not surprised for the delay, because as me and others have posted back on August in this thread, both LG Germany and LG Greece said that the ICS will be released on Q4 instead of Q3. This was confirmed by LG India by another xda member.

[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
The problem was not to wait or not to wait but the total absence of OFFICIAL communication about this... They was just saying from months: we haven't news.

Customers can wait one year or two too! But at the condition you communicate officially news on how's going the project you OFFICIALLY promised the one past year.

Awful behaviour.

"Due time" don't mean nothing! They are just trying to be politically correct but in substance they are not communicating nothing!

And, as all this awful behaviour was something to not care LG censored my posts in Lg Italia facebook channel just because i was showing my disappoint! Very very awful LG...
[LG Optimus 3D] pawelj84:
Can someone post the source of this news from LG Singapore Facebook? We have read a lot of similar news so far but no results.
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Some info:

This is the partition table for both devices.

Btw ICS partitions are EXT4 thats why CWM couldn't mount them.
[LG Optimus 3D] pandaball:
Why? CWM mounts ext4 partitions just fine
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
It didn't for me.

Maybe i use an old version or something.. I haven't checked it..

After i changed the p920 partition table to look like SU760 and flashed (not the su760 gpt) i dd the mmcblk's and opened them in the pc and all data was flashed correctly but i still had the android decompression for a minute and after that... bootloop.

If somebody wants to use cwm after flashing ICS, flash in omap4boot fastboot mode x-loader, u-boot and cwm recovery.
[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
CMW non-touch is needed to write Ext4 partitions

Anyway partitions must be resized to work with P920 since the fact:

1) system doesn't fit in P920 system partition

2) userdata doesn't fit

3) without internal 6 gb memory the system doesn't work (is too much bigger in SU760, that may cause conflicts)

There should be a way to enlarge the system and user data partition and make smaller the internal 6 gb memory, taking from it the space, maybe compiling from modded sources a new GPT1, right?

Must be addes logdata and fsswap.. in that way ICS should work...
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
I resized all of them yesterday.

Internal sd is not needed.. even if you completely erase it the system will boot
[LG Optimus 3D] newdecember:
There was something i vaguely remember from the hero forums regarding custom mtd partitions...

Might be worth having a look at that...
[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
Have you added logdata and fsswap too?
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
everything
[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
Had you care to not go over the internal block total space right?

i mean, i don't know if internal memory block is sub-divided in sub-blocks or not.. we should know the electronic graph of platform
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
you cant go more actually i even left 1gb free
[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
So it's not matter of partitions we can say... have you flashed the gpt2 too?

Can you do an attempt flashing with Non-touch CMW? Since the touch CMW can't handle Ext4?
[LG Optimus 3D] schubeir:
NO OFFENCE MEANT --- LG will not release ICS because of whining or licking places where the sun-rays dont reach. they will release ICS only if their policies allow or tell them to, or if the court decides that they have to. Public opinions don count, as we have realised by now. they will go on giving politically correct statements that will be a lot of words, disclosing nothing.

That is exactly what we all are against. All we want is for LG to tell us

"whether O3D gets ICS or not. If yes, when. AND KEEP THEIR WORD".

schubeir
[LG Optimus 3D] pandaball:
Not true, at least for me. My partitions for /system, /data and /cache are ext4 formatted and my touch CWM writes to them just fine.
[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
When i installed rom like promethius i needed non-touch because the touch one was not able to create ext4 partitions.

With touch CMW i was not able even to restore a Ext4 rom from "backup & restore"...

Maybe we are not talking of the same thing.. but everyone know that to install ext4 rom we need non-touch CMW and i proved this is true :)
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
yes i have also flashed gpt2

It's not a cwm related issue..
[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
I was starting to believe we was so near... ;(
[LG Optimus 3D] berni987654321:
maybe we have to edit the gpt1 and gpt2 file before we flash it,

put it in the bin and flash then all together.
[LG Optimus 3D] Pesach85:
Worth of attempt
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
berni i have runned in my P920 various STOCK SU760 ROMS in the past , FROYO and GINGERBREAD and never needed to use SU760 gpt's.

They all flashed well and runned well on P920 and you can see me in the vid running SU760 V20F (for the new guys reading this, forget about flashing them with normal kdz method it doesnt work that way and you will only lose your time :laugh: ...)

So i think that gpts are not the problem... it's something else.. :/

[LG Optimus 3D] INinja_Grinding:
There must be a solution, we are closer than ever to ICS!!!!!!!!!!!:good::good::good:
[LG Optimus 3D] berni987654321:
But what could it be else?

In my opinion LG has changed the partition sizes and filesystem numbers in ICS,

and I thought the su760 got more internal memory

so there could be a problem when the flashed gpt1 partition tells the system that for example the

gpt2 partition (which is mmcblk0p18 I think) is from for example 8100 to 8110mb because the p920

filesystem goes only up to 7900mb. I could be completly wrong but if you have an working p920 rom and

you flash a "normal" gb/froyo su760 kdz/bin the gpt1 partition is untouched and only mmcblk0p5/6/7 got flashed

so there wouldn't be any problem.

Another problem with flashing the partitions in cwm could be that the recovery isn't simply able

to do that, look at flashing the gpt1 partition which nobody I think was able to get it work by dd if

or an updater zip.

But I have another idea,

when I bricked my device (it is sill bricked because my modified cable got broken) I entered with

cmd the texas instruments folder with the drivers and theres a tool called omapflash.exe .

So if you type now in that folder omapflash.exe you get some intersting commands, I don't know exactly

how the command looked like but there was one whit that you could type a file and an mmcblk number

so the file get flashed to that partition. Maybe somebody could try that.

Again sorry if I talked some wrong ****.
[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
According to this site "The GPT headers contain disk meta-data—information on the locations of the partition tables, the disk GUID, and so on. No actual partitions are defined in the headers, though. Each disk has two headers, a main header and a backup header. If one is damaged, you can use the other to recover the damaged one. "

Sry guyz to interrept you.

I am not a developer .

But i have ported many gingerbread roms.

May be its a noob question but i am just asking cannot you make a cwm flashable zip of su760 Leak?

Means system folder of su760 a boot.img with zimage of su760 and ramdisk of any cm7 or any working rom!

And a META-INF folder?

You can use the kitchen to modify some parts so that it wont get bootloop!

If you look at su760 froyo and gingerbred roms gpts you will see offcourse that they are different from ours.. but although our gpts are different when we sideways install them they work..

Try Flash them in fastboot mode maybe you cant write write to those partition in recovery.

it would help if we had a SU760 running GB so we could try the non kdz update if it works then we know the prob is the P920 if not we could try figure out why its not working. Any SU760 Volunteer?

i did it yesterday..

I made all partition same with SU760 ICS GPT taking space from internal sd and it still didn't work..

[LG Optimus 3D] defcomg:
Try this downgrade to Froyo then upgrade to su760 Gb Using the same method it should work right. if it does not then we know its cwm if it does then its the new ics bootloader. As i said before maybe the lock is to prevent ics from being flashed onto a P920. is there some sort hardware identifier again if we had a su760 to work we could check if its able to boot ics with GB Bootloader. Tried SU760 GB Xloader and Uboot with ICS . After Reading Omapedia GPT>Xloader+Uboot>Kernel>OS>Boot The bootloader is not passing Control to kernel. @XBsall try it again without ics Boot.img if it still unpacks android then we can confirm its the kernel thats not getting Control of HW and that prob lies in either the xloader or uboot
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
If i remember well it freezes with the gb boot.img not sure tho.

Can't remember, it was my day off yesterday so i spend the whole day trying stuff on P920.

Anyway my O3D is restored now for normal use so if i stay home at weekend i ll do it then..

So wats up with the prada ics port?
[LG Optimus 3D] cyberguru:
I've jumped ship to an S3. Not because the S3 has ICS and the O3D doesn't, I couldn't care less if it gets ICS or not. The point was that there are bugs with this phone. And I'm starting to think they aren't software bugs either... maybe a manufacturing fault on some devices... maybe just an incompatibility between different chips in the device. I have tried several ROMs on my phone (and before anyone moans, I think the devs do an awesome job with this phone, considering what they have to work with) and they all display the same issues...

WHY do I have to reboot my phone to make WiFi work? - I believe this is the infamous WiFi bug; if this happens and I don't reboot the phone a full battery will last about 15 minutes. Awesome work LG.

WHY do I have to reboot my phone to make the internet (cell data/3G etc) work?

WHY do I have to reboot my phone to make a phone call?

WHY do I have to reboot my phone to make bluetooth connect???

WHY, when my hands free device disconnects does the phone refuse to reconnect and thus not answer calls when I'm in the car?

WHY?

This has been the issue since I got the phone and seems to carry through to any ROM I try... maybe its fine for a week, sometimes I might have to boot the phone three times in one day.

For me a mobile phone (which is what this is at the end of the day) is useless if it cannot receive a call, an SMS or an email without needing a reboot.

Now I know someone is going to say "well my phone doesn't do that, its you"... well maybe so. Although its not me, I don't immediately go into the phone and start deleting files, installing junk or do anything else to make it do this stuff.
