[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
I ended up getting it sorted out with some guides around the forums. I had to fast boot into download mode and flashed the v18a baseband. It failed at 30% saying invalid AP path, but after booting the phone I noticed it indeed did flash.

My original problem was the damned OMAP driver issue. Luckily someone had dealt with it enough to create a guide for fixing that.

Loving ICS. Screw you LG. We'll do it ourselves!

EDIT: I installed the cyanogen mms.apk and its working, but not 100% ( settings FC and contacts don't seem to integrate, but can be searched for). I haven't tested MMS messages or the text limit yet. I would like to work on replacing dialer, contacts, and MMS .apks with something better.

EDITv2: I also noticed that the capacitive buttons aren't actually "switched", but the entire are is divided into 1/3s settings/home/back. I may be wrong and the switch is just messing with me.
[LG Thrill 4G] Bdadd34:
Please let us know if mms works. :D
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
So far its stuck on sending. That could be tied with the settings not working and contacts. Hopefully ill have some time at work to mess with a few things. We have a couple other android nerds who may have some ideas.

It feels like a new phone again.
[LG Thrill 4G] yourguitarist:
Is it supposed to throw an Invalid AP error? After a boot up, it still says the baseband is XMM6260. Not sure what to do...
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
I really don't know. That was after I had flashed the .bin successfully and was flashing the baseband. I tried it three times and it would give me invalid AP each time. I finally just rebooted to see what I could do and noticed it worked.

No MMS though. I can live with that.
[LG Thrill 4G] Bdadd34:
Handcent SMS will allow you to send mms but not receive..

Also defcom has a camera working.. thread in o3d development.
[LG Thrill 4G] yourguitarist:
Haven't tried mms yet, but I'm having lots of trouble trying to get the thing rooted. Neither of these two methods work for me. :(

Weird, I can receive SMS and send it, you mean MMS as messaging right? I haven tried multimedia yet. I use stock ICS mms, works fine for me.
[LG Thrill 4G] kideskimo:
Multiposttttttttt

Sorry bout that, on my phone. Yeah, you cant edit the default APNs. I have no clue why, they aren't even right. You can only edit user-created APNs.
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
I had that same issue while I was trying and ended up getting it to work after I sorted out the OMAP driver problem. Give me just a minute and I'll find the link. I don't know if that's really what fixed it. Also, I just have to ask, did you enable debugging mode?

EDIT: I used this method to update the OMAP driver as it would dissapear too quick. You can find the zip here.

That got the driver updated and the root worked. I did this one.
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
It's good to see it is working for everybody else me on the other hand I have no access to xp system and I can't get it to work for me on windows 7 it is consuming all my time when I could be doing other things to my phone I have tried everything to het it to work and nothing not even the resurrection guide will flash I would really appreciate some help on this simple yet illusive task
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
Are you having trouble entering download mode? Could you tell me the specific part you are stuck at or what is failing? I'm pretty sure I ran into every error possible yesterday, so I may be able to help.

EDIT: I only used Windows 7 and didn't run anything in compatibility mode so that may be why I had some issues, but it all worked eventually so I don't think XP is necessary, just recommended.
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
I flashed the bin file and began to flash Fls for v18a and omap only now comes up once so it will not go into dl mode I retire the resurrection guide and can't get it to work I have tried everything but pulling all my hair out

Edit: I have reinstalled all LG drivers about a million times again it may be the wrong ones but I got em from LG so I don't know probably just doing something wrong
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
Look at my previous post and install the OMAP driver. You may have to select "show hidden devices" in device manager, then update the driver from there. The device doesn't need to be plugged in for this method.

After updating the driver, use USB fastboot to enter Download Mode, with LG flash tool open and ready to go, and it will begin to flash. Mine failed at 30%, but it worked.

My steps to success after failure:

1. Update OMAP driver in device manager, even if its grayed out it will work.

2. open "modified" LG Flashtool and get it ready with your p920.dll and v18a.fls, you can go ahead and hit start if you'd like, it will wait and listen on designated ports.

3. start the USB fastboot batch, and follow the instructions, while holding VOL+

4. The phone will enter Download Mode, and if successful, the LG Flashtool will begin automatically.

5. If it reaches 100% (mine failed at 30%, but upon rebooting I found it still flashed successfully) power on the phone and wait for it to finish before unplugging the phone.
[LG Thrill 4G] Bdadd34:
Use the drivers from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=17177547

Scroll down for English...there is a link at the bottom of a group of files ....download LG united modem drivers for win 7 ..or something like that you will see it...these are the drivers I used.
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
well i got the fastboot to kind of work but it stopped on lg logo and it STILL wont go into regular download mode but i am miles closer than i was 3 days ago when i started lol
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
Did you hold VOL+ the entire time it was fast booting? I made that mistake and even letting go for a split second will stop it from entering download mode. I got a monochrome looking LG logo when I wasn't holding the button. So if you got that far you should be able to get into download mode.
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
I may have let off vol+ too soon will try again and again and again as I have been thank you so much finally I am starting to see a twinkle so I know the tunnel has got to be ending soon

edit: ok i succeeded with fastboot but now it still wont flash with the flash tool fails at 29 seconds the com port lge mobile usb serial port comes up and i set it to port 41 and it doesnt work
[LG Thrill 4G] Bdadd34:
It always errors should load about 15% or so. Reboot and check baseband with getril.

It may have worked :D
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
It might have still worked. Was it an invalid AP error? Mine errored each time too.
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
didnt work it still says 30b so i will try some more i gotta be doing something wrong i will keep on trying but i did just get a reply from lg and they approved me for a warranty claim so if i dont get it working soon i have a backup lol let them play with it but i am so determined now i dont even think it is an option to snd it back lol

edit: no it was an psiram download error and wm progress msg
[LG Thrill 4G] Bdadd34:
I believe it did work but you are flashing the wrong file..I think only the .fls files are baseband so you should still show previous gb baseband you were on before upgrading unless you flashed the xbsall .fls successfully.

Make sure you are flashing the v18a .fls file.
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
bdadd34 and ima monstaaa you guys rock thank you soooooooooooo much it worked on my laptop finally 3 days of using my old samsung solstice (that thing is tiny) i am glad thank you i will hit the thanks button whenever i think of it

Just remember to pass it forward :thumbup:
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
o yeah i always help when i can i am so happy now
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
Seems like i'm having the same exact problem that wayno got.. but I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong... holding the volume up button hard as hell and I didn't even get the black and white lg logo, just the plain plain one with the battery charging screen or no boot at all, and it seems windows isn't even seeing any OMAP4430 device during all the process with hardware manager opened..
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
In device manager go to "view" and select "show hidden devices" and see if OMAP4430 shows up greyed out. If it does you should be able to update the driver then. Exact same problem I started with. Read over the resurrection guide posted earlier and make sure everything is in order. It's fixable so take your time and make sure you're doing everything correctly. It's easy to get stressed and make mistakes.

Wayno, no problem at all. I'm glad you were able to get it going. If it wasn't for other users posting useful guides and helping me I wouldn't have been able to either. Just doing my part to give back to this awesome community.
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
easy way to get to download moad

1- Hold power volume up and 3d button

2- release power when LG logo appears

3- wait 2 seconds and release camera button

4- you should hold volume up all time during this

5- VOILA!! you're in download mode without any software, usb cable and battery juggling

now my only problem is when I try to flash a .fls baseband via this method I get in LGFlashTool:

NO READ PID

RomBinary Download start

lgp920at-00- blah blah.. my file name for the .fls file

PSI RAM writing start

error! PSIRAMDownload

Error WM_PROGRESS_MSG

Error WM_PROGRESS_MSG

and then my download fails in like 30 seconds...

Phone reboots fines but my baseband doesn't seem to have been flashed since I still don't get any network...

any ideas?
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
It seems to be an error during the initialization of the flash. Have you tried redownloading the v18a baseband? Are you getting any failed driver messages at all?

It could also be a bad cable. Do you have another LG cable or another compatible cable that you might b able to try?
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
I don't have my computer with me right now but yes I'm going to try with another cable but I would be really surprised my cable went from a good and full ICS install to a bad cable in one only flash...

And yes I was getting drivers errors going to tell you on my next post wich ones, but it was nothing that was named omap or that I could fix using the drivers included in my Texas instruments folder

Also, could someone confirm me that the screen you see in the attached picture (my previous post explains how to get there) is truly a flashing mode

Thanks in advance, hoping to get network back on my thrill ASAP :)
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
Not sure what that screen is but it's not what your looking for
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
Well looks like I have a big driver problem on my computer because I get a fail (error described above) everytime I try to flash something to the phone, I tried my regular usb cord that flashed ICS just great only hours before the baseband fail, and also a brand new USB cable that came from my mother's tablet.

Also the screen I am showing is the only one that triggers something in the lg flasher, but I may have messed up something by changing the port of one of the online driver while on this screen to 41... could a very charitable pro teamviewer me cauz I think I truly truly am messing up more things then what i'm helping..

Charles
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
I'm not familiar with that screen either.. have you tried fastbooting while holding VOL+?

I wish I had more answers, but I didn't run into this problem and that's how I learn haha. Can you tell me what does pop up in device manager? Maybe then we can find some drivers for it. Try the ones linked in my earlier post of this thread for OMAP.
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
well it's a weird behaviour that's why I would like someone to teamview me because when OMAP4430 pops up, I click on update driver and nothing seems to be found under texas instruments folder... and then it just dissapears even if i check the show hidden devices... going to check again for your omap drivers..
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
Just guide it to the omap4boot folder then I don't remember off hand the folder name but there is a very descriptive picture of what folder its in
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
This. I was having all kinds of issues until I downloaded the zip and pointed it to that folder. After it had been fixed everything ran smoothly, except for the invalid AP error, which I'm still not sure is supposed to happen. Your best bet at this point is to try to retrace your steps and reinstall all the drivers anyways. A corrupt file or errored install could be causing all this and it's damn near impossible to tell which one. I'll find the links again of the specific driver I'm talking about and how to show previously connected devices in Device Manager.

EDIT: OK, this is the last time I'm going to repost these. I'll give more detailed steps of how I got it to work flashing v18a when I couldn't get download mode to work right.

Run command prompt as administrator, and type this in, hit enter. Go to Device Manager and click "View" and select "Show Hidden Devices". OMAP4430 should pop back up, but will be greyed out.

SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1

Update OMAP driver with the zip found on this page.

On the same page you find the OMAP driver zip, follow the resurrection guide to step 13, but you will be using your v18a .fls instead of v21e.

And actually, that's as detailed as it needs to be. I followed that guide step for step to update the driver, set up LG Flashtool, and then fastboot into download mode (Hold VOL+ while fastboot runs). When you get into Download mode LG Flashtool should begin automatically. If it doesn't something isn't set up right or you didn't do the procedure correctly. Check your stuff each time you start and leave Device Manager open so you can see what's going on. I don't think I had any failed driver issues on my last successful run.
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
Found out by myself tonight before reading this and well... yes for some reason the driver was under omap4boot and not in the TI folder, now on a ROOTED rogers O3D with ICS and full 3g support

THANKS GUYS i new it was a stupid mistake from me, I was just too much into doing the same that I forgot to be creative and simply do a windows search for omap and to find the driver on my desktop in the OMAP folder

Now lets get to bug searching reproducing and logging so we can use our phone to its full potential.

Also, am I the only one who sees a huuuuge difference in battery life, speed of phone and responsiveness? (Way better than gingerbread yay hope this stays :p )
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
Awesome, glad you got it worked out. Don't worry I made the same mistake until I caught it. Working in IT, I've learned that if it's not working and you know you're doing it right, start fresh and try again.
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
In french we call it the 18inches problem. It's the case of more than 90% of every computer problem and it's located 18 inches in front of the screen :-p
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
We call it a PEBKAC error. "Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair."
[LG Thrill 4G] wayno140:
I call it operator error
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
I'm using the Cyanogen Mod 9 mms.apk and its working 100% except for sending pictures still. Contacts integrate with this one and settings work as well. It also looks bad ass. Working on replacing the phone.apk. Its a lot more difficult.

Update: replacing the phone.apk doesnt seem like it will work as I had hoped. It relies on too many things and too many things rely on it. I'm redesigning it to look more like the ICS themed one from GB ROMs. Hopefully. Will post some screenshots if it works out.
[LG Thrill 4G] b.charles.gagne:
I use ICS themed GO SMS and it works like a charm for text, going to check for MMS right now
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
I absolutely hate GoSMS. It feels too cheap and flashy for me. The CM9 one I'm using looks super clean and fits the look of this ROM without all the annoying addons.

EDIT: CM9 mms seems to be cutting message off short, even before the limit. Any ideas? For me its still better than GoSMS or stock..

Does anybody know how I can decompile the system.img for this ROM? Using Ubuntu or Windows 7? - I asked xbsall and he said he used DiskInternals Linux Reader if anyone else was wondering.
[LG Thrill 4G] benpwarner:
I cant get it to boot into fastboot. I hold Vol+ the screen stays black for about 20 seconds then turns on like normal
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
Are you trying to get into download mode or run the fastboot script? Check out the earlier posts. Those methods will work, but only if you follow instructions with excruciating detail.
[LG Thrill 4G] benpwarner:
I'm trying to get into download mode
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
After I flashed the ICS ROM over, I could no longer enter download mode the normal way. I had to do it via the Fastboot script found in the earlier posts of the thread. If you look back through there are posts of mine with links to the specific guides you need to do this. It's time consuming and you must read them carefully or you will be at it for a while. Luckily, we made the mistakes so you don't have to.
[LG Thrill 4G] pete3000:
Dumb question i guess, but can someone do a correct clean install of ICS for AT&T thrill and dump a clockworkmod backup/restore for us to use? or would it be it phone specific?
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
You have to use LG flashtool to use ICS. Flashing in clockwork might brick your phone. I wouldn't try it.

The su760 ICS build has different partition sizes on the SD card and LG flash tool is the only way to repartition the SD correctly so that it will work on the thrill. XBSALL's custom ICS ROM is pretty clean itself. If youre not experienced in doing these kinds of things, I'd be weary to try it. As you can see in the thread a lot of us ran into some issues and it took a lot of work to fix it.
[LG Thrill 4G] DracoAzule:
Well I got into download mode but the LG flasher doesn't want to recognize my phone. I'm running windows 7 with Windows XP SP3 compatibility in administrator mode.

EDIT: Well I got the firmware to flash but I can't get the baseband to flash now.

EDIT: Read up a few posts, found the guy who was having the exact same problem and followed said instructions to fix it. Thanks!

Hi, with the 18a baseband i can only ever get edge, is there a baseband that allows 3g or 4g? 2g is painfully slow haha
[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
Have you tried APNs and making sure its set to 4G/3G preferred?

[LG Thrill 4G] 93starletgt:
Can I have those instructions? I still can't flash the baseband, it gives me an "invalid AP path". Is it imperative to flash the Baseband? I am just visiting the U.S. (vacations, actually).

Yeap... I'm a noob

Developers I must THANK YOU for allowing us to have ICS in our devices. I am already rooted but having the following troubles:

-Unable to flash any of the basebands: I get "invalid AP path" on each try, stuck with the XMM6260

-Unable to Install CWM: I have Installed that P940RecoveryInstaller.APK .(Same way as installing any regular .apk). Followed the on-screen instructions and ended up stuck on the LG logo.

(Had to install the rom again with flash tool, then root again)

I could really use some help please...
[LG Thrill 4G] 93starletgt:
Just a quick question, once you have this official ICS rom running,,, what's the easiest way to get back to stock?
[LG Thrill 4G] takrin:
It's not that bad to downgrade, you just need a few things just follow this thread for brick recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942836

Prerequisites

a. LG Flash Tool (should have this from flashing ICS) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1244490

b. Bin File P920 uses BOOTV21E.RAR and SU760 uses SU760V10GROM.zip both can be found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1942836 (use one for your device and not both!)

c. WKPARKS' omap4boot port can be found on same link as BOOTV21E.RAR

d. OMAP4 Drivers (should have this also from flashing ICS)

START

drivers for LG FLASH TOOL and OMAP4 Loaded and setup, don't forget Port 41

Device unplugged, Battery removed, Sim/SD cards removed.

Steps

1. Unzip BOOTV21E and Open up LG Flash Tool use correct DLL and remove all other bin/fls load only the bin file (BOOTV21E.BIN) click start and it will wait for your device, leave it unplugged.

2. Open up omap4boot (start_fastboot.bat), Select 2 hit enter, without inserting battery and holding <VOL UP> plug in the usb cable, when it says "wait 5-seconds..." insert your battery, let go of <VOL UP> and wait a screen with S/W [alien hieroglyph] aka korean language. it will fail around 20-30% which is fine

4. unplug device, remove battery, close and restart LG Flash Tool, reload BOOTV21E.BIN and check settings on everything this time dont use omap4boot, while flash tool is waiting hold <VOL UP> and plug in your device once S/W firmware screen comes up plug insert battery, let go of <VOL UP> and wait for LG Flash Tool, this time around you will get to 100% and when device boots, it will be CWM Touch.

5. you should be recovered, from there you can flash any baseband/rom like a stock device. using lg flash tool or lg flash pack

Basicly what you do is...

fastboot with vol up to load sw

flash bootv21e.bin with flashtool

load sw without fastboot

flash bootv21e.bin with flashtool

reboot. install rom of choice.

Invalid AP path happens to us all i believe, also on root i did find another method which seemed better for me, it was to install CWM using search button fix, at OP link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2019208 then installing zip

push using fastboot 0.5 (omap4boot), works like a charm for me, and it fixes buttons so its 2 for 1 discount

tutorial and commands on forum with link dont forget to replace boot.img from kernal.zip

i do like supersu, but for some reason it seemed slow for me and after awhile it lost root, rare but happened twice already so moved to superuser and had no problems so far.

[LG Thrill 4G] ima.monstaaa:
I didn't know there was a button fix already. Thanks for that info, very helpful.

For those having issues installing ClockworkMod Recovery, you can always download the ROM manager app from the playstore and flash CWM via that app. That's the method I always use and it seems to be fairly reliable, just make sure you're on a wifi connection for better download quality.

Those with the Invalid AP error, it will give that error when successfully flashed. Be sure that you are following the steps in those guides carefully and check your phone info when you boot up to be sure it hasn't actually worked. Mine worked the first time I got that error and thought it didn't so I reflashed it and got the same error. I was freaking out until I booted up and saw that it did, in fact, work.
