You won't be able to use the xbsav52 until you can get into the recovery mode... so we'll forget about that for the moment...

Can you try flashing with the flash utility I attached to this post?

... Just unzip and run the lgflashtool.exe.

You will need the dll file from the post above...

Follow these directions:

1: Open Device Manager (Control Panel, System, Device Manager).

2: Expand Modems and Ports.

3: Resize the Device Manager Screen and drag it over so it's at the right edge of your screen, so you can monitor it (do not close it).

4: Take battery out of your phone, and leave the battery cover off.

5: Hold volume up, and then plug your phone into the usb port (keep holding the volume up key).

6: You will see your phone device appear in the Device Manager under Modem or Ports.

7: Insert your phone battery, then you can release the volume up key.

8: Double-Click the phone device in Device Manager.

9: Click the Port Settings Tab.

10: Click the Advanced button at the bottom of the Ports screen.

11: At the bottom, you will see the Comm Port drop-down selector... Choose COM41, and click OK until you are back at the Device Manager screen.

12: Now unplug the USB Cable from the phone and take out the battery (it will remember the comm port settings).

13: Run the attached flash utility, and drag it over to the left so you can still see the Device Manager Screen.

14: Choose COM1 from the menu in the Flash Utility.

14: Once you have the xxxxx_AP.bin file selected, and the DLL File selected, click the ready to flash button.

(the COM1 section should turn yellow and say ready)

15: Now hold the volume up button on the phone and connect the usb cable (keep holding the volume up key and keep watching Device Manager Screen).

16: Once the modem/port shows back up in Device Manager, insert the phone battery and then release the volume up key.

17: You should see the COM1 Status section of the Flash Utility begin to flash the device.

18: At the very end of the flashing, it may display an error about AT_Command Failed... This is just a time-out issue because the phone took too long to reset.

If the device reboots before the flashing is complete, you may need to retry.

This is the part where I actually had to quickly take battery out, disconnect the usb, hold volume up key, and reconnect usb, and re-insert battery.

But Mine was an odd case where the device kept rebooting before the flash finished.

Oddly enough, the flash utility continued on just fine if I did it fast enough...

If the flash goes all the way to 100%, then you are ready to continue on with the instructions from the link in my first post (the first page of this thread)...

Once I had my phone running xbsa404 ROM, I was able to root, install CWT Recovery, and downgrade back to Gingerbread just fine using the Recovery.

I think your main focus should be to get the CWT Recovery installed and working.

Because once you have that going, you can install just about anything (downgrade/upgrade, etc.).

Let me know if you get the xbsa404 running, because I have the exact CWT Recovery installation method I used.

It took a while to find an installation method that worked after flashing this ROM.

The common methods running around XDA did not work for me.

Also, I HAD to use the CWT (Clockwork Mod Touch) Recovery as the standard CWM did not work.

flash bootv21e with smartflash if nothing else works.

after it gets flashed use the rebooter tool

Every thing likely ok but I still cant go to download mode to flash ICS.

Thank bro! but I still want to try ICS.:good:

Finally Ive my phone ICS!

I realize that All my flashtool (LG flash tool and smart flash tool) got error with my Window 7. And when I boot my laptop to Winxp sp2 evething ok, so Ive unbricked my phone by this way, I flashed ICS with my XP by LG flash tool smothly. So anybody want to flash ICS need to flash it by WinXP. (compability mode in Win7 should work but some time with Hardware ID is different from Win7 and XP so it may got unknown error). XBSA should strongly recomended everybody try Xp to flash his ICS to prevent Brick!

Seriously bricked my P920

Hey folks,

I really need help: I bricked my p920 because I am a stupid little noob and made some mistake... Then, trying to flash it I encountered an error, propably due to an antivirus or such and after that **** went real south: Now I can't boot (bootloop), can't go to recovery (If I try there just is a korean message on the phone which I neither understand nor is of much help i presume, as it seems to reffer me to the support...), If I connect the phone to the PC (tried different ones and cables) pressing volume down, up, battery inside or not it isn't detected and in the device manager the Omap thing keeps flashing and gets deactivated every second or so... As it is not detected I can't flash it and I am pretty much stuck...

Help please!! :(

EDIT: let me try something first... sorry for basically spaming, as stated above I am a huge noob! :crying::cyclops:

Thanks, but...

I finally got my phone unbricked (sort of), but I did have a problem trying to figure out what "NORMAL DOWNLOAD MODE" was. I eventually, after much frustration, figured out it was by plugging the USB back into the phone while holding Vol+. If you could edit your post to include this detail that'd be great, if not hopefully my comment helps out another noob like me :)

I'm new to all this and tried the Cyanogen 7 mod on my P920 but I found out after I installed it that my SIM didn't work so I downgraded back to Gingerbread using this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942836 . My problem now is that my internal SD card has 0.00kb of available memory even though I've formatted it and factory reset it, and it also says I have 5.5ish GB free space on my internal SD in the settings menu.

This has made it so I cannot install any apps, delete any apps, change some settings, take phone calls (force close error while ringing, can't even see who's calling) and other general shenanigans.

I'm thinking this is a partition issue, can anyone give me advice on what to do? I can't reboot into recovery mode (superoneclick can't even find my phone so re-rooting/unrooting it is not an option) so I only have my phone's UI and USB connection (USB mode works fine, as does the PC Suite.)

Thanks for your guide. I managed to repair my phone in a previous brick, but this time I think it's a hw problem, because OMAP connects and disconnects, and I am not able to reinstall it. As it was yet installed before on the PC, I assume the problem is in the phone.

Cant fix this brick, ifx modem error

Dear xbsall

I have bricked my lg p920. I have tried the Stat_fastboot.bat file.

The Omap device shows up in the device manager. It goes into fastboot mode and writes all the images. But when I press the buttons to turn it on or the buttons for the recovery menu,then it does not show any lg logo or anything.

However, after using the rebooter utility, the phone goes in to download mode; showing icon and korean text. But when I start the LG flash tool. It does not start the process. After a few seconds the phone turns itself off.

I have read the instructions carefully and followed all the steps on two different pc's using windows xp sp3 and windows 7. But it does not work as mentioned. The main problem is what ever tool I use, the phone restarts itself in the download mode.

I get the error IFX modem timeout using LG flash tool and lg smart flash tool.

I have also tried using the kdz updater and it also does not work.

Before flashing for the first time, the phone was detected in the lg flash tools and on 29% restarted.

But now it does not detect it and does not start the procedure.

The phone goes into download mode after the reboot utilty and then restarts automatically.

Also, the phone goes into download mode only once. I have to use the rebooter utilty everytime to get it into download mode, then it shows the logo and restarts after a few seconds.

Please let me know if there is any way to fix it. Or if I am doing something wrong.

It would be kind of you to help me out using teamviewer, if you have some spare time.

I have been trying to fix this brick for three days now, but no luck.

Thanks.

It may probably be due to the Baseband you currently have, in relation to the firmware. I've found out, the hard way, that some firmwares, like let's say CM10, have baseband requirement, like V28B for example.

Unbricked Finally

Thank you joellecool for your reply.

I tried again again for the last few days, uninstalled all drivers and installed them again. And when it finally started downloading the rom, my phone was in download mode but it wasnt showing the logo with korean writing. It worked though. Then it was in a boot loop. Showed LG Logo and rebooted.

At fIrst, I though it was a boot loader issue but, later I found out that the phone was restarting because its battery had gone dead in the process.

and when the battery is completely dead, the phone wont charge from pc. You have to use the external charger for a while and then charge it with a pc.

I now have all the things working, IMEI , Bluetooth, WIFI mac working. After unbricking I used the lg utils tool to update it and it fixed it.

Anyways, my phone is working. Thank you for thread and thank you joellecool for your answer.

Make sure to install correct drivers for your PC. I installed LG PC Suite and it worked great for me to get OMAP installed. Are you running Windows 7 or Windows XP?

Once the drivers are installed, PC will recognize LG COSMO and install the correct drivers (let it finish) then COM port will be available which is what you change to Port 41

My phone has been stuck on ICS with intermittent signal for a while now and no recovery options.

I started using this method on windows 8 laptop. All worked until flash tool wouldn't report as ready. In the thread it was suggested to use XP 32bit emulator. Luckily I have old XP laptop (Still the best).

Worked great on XP.

Used the LG support tool to Recover and ran a factory reset and partition wipe just to be sure.
