Pressing a quick NO to the poll without first telling us:

What Windows Operating system you use..

Which omapdriver you installed...

Which phone you have...

What was originally the problem with your phone..

What you did so far...

Is not going to help you fix your phone... :good:

So it looks like you decided that this guide can't help you fix your phone and with that in mind you don't need our help. :)

I can Only instal/flashing that "bootV21E" only.

I try to instal ICS rom, but it always stick on LG Logo. I've wait for about 30mins.

I've try any tutorial guide, like from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1963847

and from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2195753

but its always stuck.. dont know what is missing.. :confused:

Anyone can help please ?
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
ICS installation is not covered in this thread.

There is a guide regarding V28B and another one for V30A, read those guides and it will work.

Dont worry your phone doesnt have any problems you are just missing a few steps.

Well, ok. thanks.

But, i have flash using your bootV21E.

Then am i need to recover CWM again if i flash to another Version ??
[LG Optimus 3D] galaxy76:
why LGFLASHTOOL always error when I flash a baseband (. fls)?
[LG Optimus 3D] :
galaxy76, use the DLL for the specific model of your phone like LGP925_110622.dll for P925 and LGP920_110622.dll for P920 - check the model on IMEI / FCC ID sticker after battery is removed. I found out the hard way, now I am happily running CM10 nightly with V21E baseband.
[LG Optimus 3D] -Forz-:
In another tutorial, it's shown that it only take about 150 seconds and it end with error message when flash (.fls). but its okay said the moderator.

:D

Best guide ever for unbreak .
[LG Optimus 3D] chrism.brunner:
Xbsall,

I have been doing this for days now. I did it once and everything was fine. Then I went like an addict and tried to install v30b. Froze on reboot. So I tried to redo all the steps and cannot get it to work. I have tried two different computers, and no go.

What I am wondering is, can I pay you to fix my phone?

If this is inappropriate, I apologize.

Thanks.

Can´t get to download mode

Hi, xbsall

It's been two days since i bricked my P920, and I've tried A LOT of things. Nevertheless, following closely your guide, I can't get to get to normal download mode (or anything else) after the 26% flash of the BOOTV21E_AP.bin. I've read most of this thread, and you assisted live everyone who had that same problem. Far from trying to bother you, I'd like to know if you arrived to a solution with them.

Luckily, I found out that flashing your 28b lets me charge the battery.

Thanks a lot.

EDIT: Perhaps, I was confusing in that last remark. Every flash I got to do was a parcial one using Omap4boot.

Also, my specs are,

Phone: P920h

SO: Windows server 2008. I'm going home now, to try on a XP.
[LG Optimus 3D] leaffan99:
Make sure to get to normal download mode, you remove battery, hold volume + button, then insert usb and wait until you hear the sound from the computer letting you know it detected. Then insert battery and DL mode will show up

Very Important: HOLD VOL+ THE WHOLE TIME
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
Thanks for the quick answer, leaffan99!

Unfortunately, I've tried that with no success. After I do that first flash, the phone only reacts to the omap4boot. That means no LG logo, no download or emergency modes, and even no charging the battery!

I'm trying now again at home, if I find any change, I'll let you know.

Thanks again.
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
This is getting so weird...

I got to my home PC, installed the OMAP driver, and it showed the LG Port right away! I got to do an (almost) complete BOOTV21E_AP flash (see info below), but the phone never restarted and now I'm exactly as I was before. That is, getting to download mode / showing the port connection in the device manager only through omap4boot with the known timeout issue. And from time to time, I even can't connect through omap4boot (several cables and ports tested).

These are the last lines in the LGFlashTool box, though now I can't get to this phase again:

Check AT Command

Retry Check AT Command.. 1

Retry Check AT Command.. 2

Error WM_PROGRESS_MSG

Check AT Command FAIL

I hope you can help me to correct this. Thanks.
[LG Optimus 3D] leaffan99:
Did you flash the .bin of .fls file?

.bin will stop at 80% and say REBOOT

.fls stops at around 30%... the .fls is only for flashing basebands, but you do not need to flash that file, just the .bin

I find its better to manually flash CWM to reboot to recovery Ive had issues using ROM Manager and installing CWM. Go here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2190261

I use ADB to flash recovery, much easier for me but whatever you decide:)
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
I've flashed the bin. Just like you said, it reached 80%, put "RESET" and then happened what I wrote before. After that, I couldn't get the phone to start.

As if that wasn't serious enough, I found myself in a seamingly much worse problem. Now I can't connect the phone even via omap4boot. It drops the GEN_FAILURE everytime.
[LG Optimus 3D] leaffan99:
After it says RESET, remove cable from pc and phone, unplug battery and reboot phone

Are you still able to get the phone into download mode?
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
That's what I did. I waited for the 100% to reach, unplugged the phone, took the battery off, nothing happened.

I'm trying with another PC. I got to connect the phone, but this PC has Win7, so I expect to find some other troubles.

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ----------

On my Win7, I got to connect the phone via omap4boot and do the 26% flash, but I still can't get the normal download mode.

It seems last time was just a matter of luck.
[LG Optimus 3D] leaffan99:
thats weird it should work... are you exiting flashtool and relaunching?

what does phone do when trying to enter download mode? can you enter download mode without flashtool or anything running, just by connecting to pc?

your p920 right not su760? dumb question i know lol but wanna make sure
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
It does nothing. Besides once today and once yesterday (I think it was the first time connecting the phone to each PC) I can only enter download mode via omap4boot

My phone is a p920h. I realised just a moment ago that I was using a P920 dll with LGFlashTool. I tried to find the corresponding dll, but the only forum where I found it had a broken link. I am now trying to get in through LG Mobile Update. I know that application lays a dll, I just hope it's the one that I need.

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 PM ----------

I should note that I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times several different drivers to no avail.
[LG Optimus 3D] leaffan99:
Hopefully thats the issue, because everything else seems to work... data cable as long as its LG it always works good for me... sometimes took me a couple tries to get into download mode

Here is P920H dll if still looking

LGP920H_110705_90.dll - 402.00 KB

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

For drivers you should be fine if everything has already shown connected

I downloaded LG PC Suite and everything worked good for me... Im on WIN 7
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
No luck again. I used your file to flash, reached 26% as usual, but still no normal download mode. Are the sequence and times to enter download mode similar to those when you do it through omap4boot?
[LG Optimus 3D] leaffan99:
You reached through fastboot (omap) thats good... you can even use fastboot again I believe to flash the file a second time to get to 80% REBOOT then pull battery.

The only difference to enter normal download mode is by removing battery: pressing Power and Volume Up at the same time... then plug in the USB... wait a few seconds til pc recognizes... insert battery... keep holding power and volume up this whole time... and wait until the S/W screen shows up :)
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
I wasn't pressing the power button, but I tried it now and it does nothing. Same as before.

Via fastboot the phone shuts down itself a couple of minutes later, not giving enough time to download completely any flash. The only times I got to finish flashing was when I could get the LG Port recognized outside fastboot. And I managed to do so only a couple of times.
[LG Optimus 3D] dreccon:
For me, SW download mode works if I do the following:

1. Disconnect USB, shutdown and remove battery.

2. While holding Vol-Up, first insert battery and then immediately connect USB.

3. Release Vol-Up when the Korean screen appears.

From what I've seen, we 've been doing step 2 the other way around, so you might want to try it my way. Good luck!

LG Flashtool doesnt even say: Ready,

Doesnt show my modelnumber or anything else either. online BootV21E
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
put lg flashtool in xp compatibility mode
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
It was worth the try, but still nothing.

So far, I only get some response from the phone by going to download mode via flashboot, flashing both 28bROOT_CP and 28bROOT_AP via SmartFlash (it gets to 75% before shutting down) and doing a wipe (using Power + Vol down, Power, Power). Android won't start, but at least I can charge my battery.

Every other option results in total blackness.
[LG Optimus 3D] leaffan99:
Use LG Flash Tool not SmartFlash

And only flash the .bin file
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
Yes, following the tutorial I've tried that a lot of times, with no success. But trying to get to anywhere, I've discovered that. Using only the bin and/or flashing via FlashTool doesn't work. To be precise, EVEN THAT doesn't work, but at least I get to see the LG icon and to charge the battery.
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:

Hi,I'm trying to resurrect my p920..

I followed the guide and everything is ok but while flashing partition test with flashtool i get " DOWNLOAD FAIL (94sec)"

"Start ebl error"

someone could help me please..

is it a hardware fail of my phone?

thank you
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Notice:

Guide is updated with new BIN file that i made and tested that includes all necessary partitions based on v21e with CWM preinstalled.

Please describe exactly what you did so far and how you got bricked and your operating system.
[LG Optimus 3D] loryb84:
A friend of mine gave me this phone he said he overclocked it.

Now when I press power button the phone is dead nothing appears on the screen..but if i connect the phone to the charger,the battery is charging correctly(the indicator on the screen is working and the battery charges correctly).

and trying to power on the phone when connected to the charger screen turns on and stuck at the lg logo.

I'm using windows 7 64bit,I followed exactly this guide.everything works ok (Driver are ok,phone goes in download mode) but when I try to flash i get FAIL error..

maybe the internal memory of the phone is broken?

do I need the usb cable with 910 Kohm resistor?

thank you
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
No you don't need 910kohm cable.

Try it from a windows 32 bit pc and tell me if it does the same.
[LG Optimus 3D] loryb84:
I tried it is the same:

CONFIRM IFX communication

PSI RAM writing end

Start psi RAM

EBL writing start (hang on here for 94 seconds)

Start EBL error!
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Flash cp file and tell me if its the same error.

Appart from that "this phone" is an su760 or a p920?
[LG Optimus 3D] loryb84:
p920, which file do you intend? BOOTV21E_CP?
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Yes

Problem with resurrected LG Thrill 4G P925

Hi

Thanks for your help/guide.

I resurrected my LG P925 aka thrill 4g.:)

But the problem is i can't get anything on display but when i connect it to HDTV it shows everything is working. And the touch on the phone is also working but there is no display.

I can project the display on hdtv through hdmi cable and can touch the phone's touch screen n operate by guesses. but nothing is coming on phone's display.

Stock thrill ROM.

Please tell me whether it is a hardware failure!! do i need to change the display. the touch is working but nothing is coming up.:confused:

Thanks for your help. Its awesome to see the dead device working after 6 months.

:D
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
looks like hardware failure.. :/
[LG Optimus 3D] loryb84:
it's the same flashing CP
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Turn it on in fastboot mode and flash cwm recovery so you can adb shell it in cwm and check your partitions. If you get in cwm i will give a zip file that you will flash and it will restore it to v21e.
[LG Optimus 3D] :
Awesome

Thank you! This has been needed for a while.

Hi i have LG SU760 but i got a problem on it . It turns off it self its like frozen black screen..i should restart it by removing the battery otherwise is not possible to turn it on. Can you help me and suggest what can i do to solve this problem. thank you
[LG Optimus 3D] leaffan99:
Thats weird, your only supposed to flash the bin anyways nothing else... What error does flash tool give you the second time flashing? Since it works the first and you can get DL mode
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
Mmm, perhaps I wasn't clear in the process, so I'll try to detail it. This is what happens 99% of the times:

-My phone starts bricked. It doesn't get to normal download mode.

-I start fastboot and connect it. It gets recognized and in the device manager you can see the "LGE Mobile USB Serial Port (COM41)" device. The CDMA Port doesn´t work; that was my first try.

-I open LGFlashTool, configure the P920h dll you gave me, add BOOTV21E_AP.bin and start to flash. It starts normally.

-It gets to 26% and the phone shuts itself down and logically fails the download. The last messages shown are these:

Success to erase

Partition size is 593920 KBytes

error! OMAPFactoryDownload <--- here is where the phone shuts down

Error WM_PROGRESS_MSG

OMAP factory download fail

-I disconnect the USB and the battery, and close LGFlashTool.

-I try to get to normal download mode, using volume up -> connect USB -> put battery on, but it doesn´t work. I tried a lot of times in a lot of different ways, with no success.

To try again, I must use fastboot to get the USB Port recognised, with same result as above. I found no other way.
[LG Optimus 3D] leaffan99:
Maybe try that OMAP flash?
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Use the rebooter tool and your phone will be ok.
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
I installed it, but wouldn't know what to do with it. As it seems, it's already embedded in the omap4boot utility.

Contrary to what your tutorial indicates, I can only use it halfway, that is, after the 26% flash, as I can't get to normal download mode to do the full flash. I was hoping the rebooter tool corrected this.

The rebooter tool finds the phone, the phone shows de S/W screen, but the utility gets stuck with the "< waiting for device >" message.
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Ok flash the bootloaders manually then.
[LG Optimus 3D] AnchoDotto:
I was incorrectly entering download mode. I entered fastboot mode and the process continued, but it gets stuck trying to download recovery.img, to the point of having to hard reset my PC. I even modified the start_flashboot.sh to use the reboot tool files, but it was the same.

Nevertheless, I run all omap4boot processed, and that gave me normal download mode. With that, I flashed your version of 28b and it worked! I still have no signal, but I finally got out of that damned brick state. Besides, that was the original reason of me flashing the phone.

Thanks a lot to you and to leaffan99, who also gave me a great hand dealing with my problem!

PS: I still haven't sorted out the reboot utility problem, and I'd need it given the case I'd want to get back to GB. Do you know what the problem could be?
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Nice to know it worked again.

Flash the fls file so you can have network.

I left my phone bricked now for more than 1 week.

I have windows 7 ultimate 32-bit.

All steps worked until booting into NORMAL DOWNLOAD MODE after reaching 26% in LG Flash Tool.

The thing is how am i supposed to boot into this NORMAL DOWNLOAD MODE?

Thanks, and many excuses for my previous posts in this thread !

And please help :crying:
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
I did it, I rescued my phone.

That's how :

First I flashed gingerbread bootloaders from fastboot mode, then plugged my phone with battery and vol-up into my laptop port (of course after doing all steps before using flashtool). I was now in download mode but with a whole black screen on the phone. I used then smartflash and flashed thr official gingerbread ROM and "voila", my phone is rescued.

I think this method would really work for anyone having a bricked device.

I really would recommend to add those steps in the tutorial or maybe I will make a thread to help people in a more easy way to unbrick their phones.

THANKS ALL !

Please comment also if you find that I've said or made something wrong.

Anyone in Brazil?

Did anyone in Brazil manage to get the phone back alive??

I'm trying for about 3 months now and I can't get it into normal download mode! :(

On the supposed step 15 the computer recognizes the cell phone as a TI BOARD and LG Flash Tool doesn't flash it.

Now it appears that the screen is dead, since Step 13 works, but the screen remains black...

I'm ready to pay someone whatever it takes to get it back alive 'cause it's clearly out of my capacities. :'(

Hey My friends. Since I noticed that a lot of people are having a problem to unbrick their lg device, I'm going to start a new thread/Tutorial to explain how I found a new way out and share my experience.

I can guarantee that your phone will be surely fixed!

I'll Do this tutorial after a few hours. Don't forget hope.

And finally don't forget the thanks buuton :D

[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
The bootloaders can be flashed only if the partitions are there.

So if your phone has been flashed with a ROM for a different phone the bootloaders will not be flashed.
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
When i will have the time i will make a recovery All in One tool so it will make the process easier for noobs because this guide was made 6 months ago when P920 section didn't have so many new members.
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
But that's what happened actually :s I flashed the wrong ROM then tried to use smartflash and lg flashtool which both failed to complete the flashing procedure then I tried to flash the bootloaders :s
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Yes but after that you flashed with oma4boot download mode the bootv21e.bin and that build your phones partitions again.

In some cases the bootloaders that are included in bootv21e are not supported by some phones, so next thing in order to use your phone would be to use the rebooter tool.

That would flash the right bootloaders for your case.

So next thing would be to flash a normal v21e.bin and your phone is set.

All these are covered in the previous pages of this guide.
[LG Optimus 3D] Mohhamad Rehan:
Chill dude chill ubdont know me i have managed to do everything and its working fine and its on ics now i have managed the smartflash tool and lg flashtool and everything so just chill and take a permission of xbsall before startingc a thread the only thing u have to do after the 27 % failure is to remove the disconnet the phone from the pc now exit lg flashtool then reopen it and keep the files ready for flashing now.after doing that hold the vol+ button while holding that(i.e with battery) connect the phone to the pc until u get the download mode screen dont release the button release the button and then wait till the download start and download will complete upto 100 % and then u will get fail message dont panic the process will be complete as ur phone boot itself and then if ur having any imei issue or internal memory issue factory reset the phone and follow the imei fix present in this thread if u.dont understand this download lg suppot tool from.google install open it connect ur phone in normal download mode without the battery the phone will be conneted and the go into customer support recovery phone enter ur imei and then ok tjen automatically the phone will recover the imei after that factory reset again

Actually the lg flashtool wasn't working for me after the 27% failure ( after plugging my phone again as you said), this is why I thought I should share how i managed to use fastboot then smartflash in a black screen download mode .
