[LG Optimus 3D] OS_Hacking:
I had the same problem before ,, The battery was empty :D .

---------- Post added at 05:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 AM ----------

As the picture you gave you used the "omap4boot" so of course the phone will turn off . "omap4boot" make the phone in download mode for a few minutes ,, enter the download mode normally in order to keep the phone in the download mode :D .

Weganet, how did you get past waiting for IFX Modem? I know you said it was a timing thing, when the buttons light put in battery not really sure what you mean by that.

Help a Greek...

Wow that was a long read! (I did carefully read all 37 pages! :eek: )

Great Thread sir and Great guide. Already thanked you for that.

Now the problem. I got a p720 in my hands from a noob friend who cant read properly and he accidentally flashed a p920 rom on his p720 resulting in a brick. Phone looks dead but if connected without the battery I see the omap device in device manager for a couple of seconds.

I also read in the beginning of the thread that someone with a p720 tried to do something and I thought there is still a hope but a few pages back you said that following this guide with a p720 will permanently brick the device. I also read that you were halfway through, developing a cure for p720s before a μαλάκας pissed you off. You have all the right to be pissed off with people like those.

So what do you think I should do? Should I try to follow your resurrection guide, is there something else I could try or should I just say to him your phone is dead send it to LG for repair?

Το χάσαμε το κορμί πατριώτη? Τι λες υπάρχει ελπίδα για αυτό? Περιμένω την γνώμη σου πριν προχωρίσω, δεν θέλω να μου μείνει εντελώς στα χέρια μου, τουλάχιστον να του το δώσω όπως το πήρα. :)
[LG Optimus 3D] weganet:
i say it before sorry for my english:crying:

have you lg cosmo drivers installed in your computer?
[LG Optimus 3D] n3fta:
The only time cosmo even shows up in device manager is when I have the phone in CWM. From what I've read I should install the OMAP drivers for cosmo but when I try to install the drivers it tells me no drivers for your device were found.

One more thing. When I plug my phone in without battery device manager shows TI Sample Boards, I never noticed this with my old Optimus 3d I thought it just showed up as OMAP4430 under other devices. I really don't believe the phone is actually going into download mode.

I had no problem flashing my old Optimus 3d, I was able to install ICS and revert back to GB without any issue so I'm not a complete newbie.

Help Installing Cosmo Drivers

I can't seem to install lg cosmo drivers. I am running windows xp and everytime I try to install the omap drivers for lg cosmo it fails telling me there are no files for my device in that folder. Am I supposed to be installing the same drivers for lg cosmo as I did for OMAP?
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
If he just flashed an ICS zip file using CWM just use lg flashtool to restore his ROM and also fastboot to restore his loaders (if they are not included in kdz file).

If he flashed xbsa404.bin unfortunately his phone now has a new partition table which is for P920/SU760 and since there isn't a resurrection bin file made for P720 users his phone is difficult to be restored (it can be done but only by someone who owns the phone and decides to spend

a lot

of free time working on it, if its a friends phone it aint worth the trouble).

So before you proceed ask him what exactly he flashed so you wont lose your time.

[LG Optimus 3D] djngal:
Hi, again thanx for your reply. I contacted him again and he said he followed this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1540163 and tried to flash the stock V21E_00.kdz which indeed is for the p920. He also mentioned that the installation with lg flashtool went all the way, then told him the phone is ready, restart. But it never booted again.

He also mentioned that he is pretty desperate and I should give a try with whatever method and if it fails and its totally bricked he will send it to lg for repair.

What do you think should I do as a last resort? I want to help him even if there is a risk because I imagine how awful it feels to ruin a phone like this. I wouldn't like this to happen to me (but then again, I read more :p )

Can I try extracting the .bin files from an original 720 rom and then combining them to 1 .bin and flash with flashtool and the dll someone posted on the beginning of the thread, or scrap this method all together and try doing something with u-boot - omap4boot etc?
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
If he only flashed v21e.bin (not my bootv21e.bin) just use omap4boot and fastboot flash a p720 x-loader and u-boot after that you will have download mode available again so you flash a p720 kdz and it will be fine.
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
If your phone works and is back to gingerbread you can avoid the extra step.

If you want to try CM10 ROMS you need the extra step or flash bernies loaders. Read the CM guides about what you should do i m not using CM nor have a ROM based on CM.

If you want to flash ICS again forget the extra step.
[LG Optimus 3D] djngal:
I really feel I should publicly THANK YOU for this suggestion, which I followed and it appears I have a working download mode now.

I used this LG flash package tool from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1540163 since I had a .kdz file to flash.

Thing is that although the flash procedure with this appeared to go all the way to 100% the phone shut down around 90% and now is stuck in LG logo. If I press the vol- + 3D + Power to get into recovery, it opens a small menu that says: Normal, fastboot, recovery (which is already selected) and a progress bar that fills in around 2-3 secs. (I haven't seen this menu appear anywhere in the forums in screenshots etc.) Then the stuck LG logo comes again.

Tried the flashing procedure twice with the same result. Any Idea what might have happened?

UPDATE: I tried extracting the kbz rom, combined the bin files to 1 and then flashed with smartflash. Again, smartflash tool showed that the operation was completed successfully but I'm still stuck in the LG logo. WTF?!

Forgive me for being a bit off topic by mentioning another tool in this thread. I just feel this thread has the most well presentable instructions and a very helpful OP :angel:
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
let me explain a few things about how the procedure works..

your bootloader is broken so the phone doesnt boot at all , no download mode, no recovery, nothing...

you put the phone using omapboot in download mode but it doesnt have enough time to finish flashing the ROM because it will shutdown...

if you use kdz method it will take its time to decompress ROM file etc but as we said earlier phone will exit omapboot download mode so with KDZ method the phone will be off before KDZ decompresses the ROM

so we use flashtool cause we can have it in standby and ready to listen PORT41 but because we dont have much time to flash FULL ROM cause the phone will exit omapboot download mode before it gets flashed we only use the AP.BIN file.

we only want from AP.BIN file to flash bootloader again so the phone will be able to boot on its own in download mode like it used to do it before it got bricked and omapboot download mode usually stops the phone while flashing system partition and that means that bootloader and some other partitions have already been restored.

so when it stops we remove battery and cable from pc and then we check if normal download mode is available again (we wont use omapboot this time) ... if available we can flash with any method we like now cause the phone will not turn off halfway..

i know its a puzzle but thats how it worked for me and it will work also for you (if all partition information is in the BIN file that you flash)
[LG Optimus 3D] CptK:
ah i see, so we're flashing with Smartflash tool now right, because only flashing the AP file ( in whcih was 8 separate bin files which i had to compile into one .bin file?) gives me an error...

"Magic number does not concide"
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
no you will make those files ONE FILE and you will use lg flashtool

start a teamviewer session i m home and i ll show you send a pm with team id and password
[LG Optimus 3D] CptK:
alright sure, thanks alot for your help!. teamviewer is installed now and ready to go
[LG Optimus 3D] wkpark:
Why dont you try to use fastboot flash x-loader and u-boot ? Is that not work for p920?
[LG Optimus 3D] CaecusX:
How to flash using only AP.bin? LGFlashTool refuses to flash without CP.fls
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Probably it works.. I wrote the guide with download mode cause most people don't know what fastboot is and how to use it...

You have both files AP.bin and cp.fls in your extraction directory... you open lg flash tool and you add only the AP.bin file.that's it
[LG Optimus 3D] CaecusX:
dont have much time for flash **ap.bin. Phone reboot when LGFlashTool wrote - Partition size 642 048 Kbytes and fail. and the phone not power on in normal download mode. Sorry for my bad english :\
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
READ THE GUIDE again .. this is explained in the guide

and btw this guide is for p920 and su760 for now

If you don't have p920 or su760 you can try fastboot method flashing uboot and xloader but you need to get those two files (specific for your model) first
[LG Optimus 3D] CaecusX:
Did all the instructions using fastboot method flashing, maybe need another .bin file? For p920/su760 file is in the instructions, I have only the original v10f.kdz for p725 from it extracted bin and fls
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
If your bin file doesn't have some necessary partition information like uboot ,xloader and gpt it won't repair your p725... so you need to find them from a working p725. Can't help you more cause I don't own a p725 so you need to talk with p725 owner in order to provide you those.
[LG Optimus 3D] CaecusX:
I can take working p725 from my friend. How I can retrieve the files from there?
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
OK get it and we will do some things with team viewer.
[LG Optimus 3D] CptK:
This is good news as there might be a possibility of it repairing my 720.

Good stuff =)

Hi

Thanks for great hard work

My p920 alive after 1 year

i have 1 problem

i did flash with V21b(only AP) my phone error after 27%....so,this is normall....But can't trun on again for flash via "Samno's Partition Test Bin ".or officially firmware....

still need run omapboot for "SW upgrading"

---

any idea?
[LG Optimus 3D] wkpark:
I guess you have to use fastboot mode and try to erase xloader uboot partition first and then flash xloader uboot with proper bootloader.
[LG Optimus 3D] arsen4oo:
You must firstly flash samno's bin after using omap4boot,then,after 27% error,take out battery,put in again,put the phone in download mode normally(vol+) and flash your 21b
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
Yes do it like Arsen4oo told you cause you are doing it in reverse :D :D

btw dont forget to vote after you get it fixed :cool:

Strange brick

Καλησπέρα,

I got my phone bricked as well. It stopped on 26% with Flash Tool. The problem I am facing is strange as I am trying to use fastboot.

The phone is recognized by windows, I hear the connection USB device from windows and then i hear the unplugged sound again. This goes on continuously. I don't even have to hold the Vol+ button, I just plug it to the computer and it starts the connection - de connection procedure. I can't seem to watch anything change in the device manager.

I have installed the OMAP drivers through the hidden device but it still won't show up.

I have tried with a different computer but again I get the same problem. I reinstalled all the drivers from LG and I don't seem to know what is the problem.

It won't show up on fastboot but it's not completely dead as I understand since I can hear the plug in problem.

Do you have any ideas?

Me again...

Tried to flash the packages you attached but uboot gives and error and is not installed. recovery and x-loader flashed ok, but phone did not boot at all after this. Probably because of the uboot installation fail. I had to start the recovery procedure (from 1st post) in order to get the phone to boot show signs of life again, unfortunately still stuck on the LG logo (same as the fastboot, i'm not sure if this actually is fastboot or the phone tries to boot and gets stuck).

Can it be an just a wrong packaged uboot file? the one you attached? can I use the uboot file that comes with the rebooter.zip. I didn't use it already since it could possibly mess the phone more than it already is.

I also found an uboot file for 720 from the omap4boot thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1971014

but its in .bin format. can I convert it to img? is the same file or is something else also packaged in your .img file?

Regards :)

EDIT: Could it be the cable? Right now everything I done was with the original cable that came with the phone. Should I try with one of my microusb cables?

After trying to flash the phone now my phone wont boot. I get the "LG" logo and it shuts off right after. When trying to flash the phone I got an error around 28-30% I cant remember exactly. I have a Win7 32 bit P920.
[LG Optimus 3D] banie01:
Folks,

After managing to brick my P920 while flashing CM10 I have been using this guide to try and get her going again but with no success as yet and I'm actually kinda stumped as to where I'm going wrong?

I'm running windows 7 32bit SP3.

I have uninstalled all LG software before installing the Resurrection software.

So with the software from the 1st post installed I can get to step 10 in the process as outlined in the OP.

The driver installation is successful and the OMAP4boot picks up the phone and I can get the phone into Software download mode successfully with the screen displaying the Korean/SW logo as pictured in the OP(which is a start i suppose!)

But where the process falls apart for me is when I need to identify the correct COM port in my device manager for LGFlash.

For some reason despite the Omap4boot working and the phone being in SW download mode, the phone is not picked up as a COM port in my device manager and despite repeatedly going through the process I am at a loss as to where I am going wrong?

I'm certain its something simple I am missing but cannot figure it out.

Any help or advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks folks

Hehe have a great holiday friend. No prob I gave him the phone back anyway. He's taking it to LG Service. I also told him that next time he shouldn't mess with stuff he don't fully understand. He didn't even read XDA he just went to some random Greek forum he cant even recall which... lol

My final observation before I give the phone back was that the LG logo that was stuck was the fastboot LG logo.

I still wonder what actually happened and what went wrong in the first place.

Ok, well I am in a tough situation right now with my p920. So I went ahead and followed the guide and everything worked fine, I went ahead and tried flashing jelly bean but I had no signal so I was told to flash bernis files, anyways when I go to my device manager now to check for omap4430 it is not there even though I plug it in, holding volume + with no battery inside. However the normal download mode screen does come up (this is all on xp), however my computer does recognize something - "lg mobile usb modem". When I am on Windows 7 omap4430 does show up once then when the normal download mode screen inevidently pops up again omap4430 dissappears. How can I get rid of normal download mode and just have it to what it was before? Where omap4430 would keep showing up then dissappearing, then showing up again. Thanks :D
