That isn't beyond the realm of possibility...
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
As you know. :P I got the fresh install; now I'm just waiting for the kids to hit the bed to try this again. I'll report back.

EDIT: Now I'm at a loss for a cause. Still gets stuck @ 30% and fails the connection.
[LG Nitro HD] WeeBo:
Hey hey, thanks for making this. Made things so much easier for me, glad this phone is alive and kicking.

One thing I'd like to point out, first time around I was having issues on my Windows7 box.

The reason why is because of the Before.bat in the KeepRoot folder, it's quite simple.

The forward slash had to be changed to backslash to work.

EX : adb/adb wait-for-device

TO: adb\adb wait-for-device

This fixed the one and only issue I had, I didn't read through the other posts (too many) so if it has been mentioned forget it, if not yay :) hope it helps somebody and thanks again for the work. :)
[LG Nitro HD] rozkalns:
Heretic,

Thanks followed your guide on a Win XP in a virtual machine on my Win 7.

It worked out perfect!

One hurdle on the way though.

Step 4 instructs for putting the phone in download mode. While in my case running step 5 with the phone in "normal" mode with PC-software as USB-attatchment-mode did by it self after a while turn the phone into download-mode.

While if I did as you suggested, on step 4, step 5 stopped complaining about not beeing able to communicate with the phone.

My one question to anyone though:

Does the usage of the Singaporean baseband v10f imply that I am only using their LTE-frequencys? (which turns out to be 2 out of 3 frequencies that my carrier is using).

/Rozkalns
[LG Nitro HD] webbles17:
I'm gonna sound like a tard. Sorry. I have a p935. When I do step 5 I boot up the phone and start flashing v18f. Then it says to go back to download mode and it won't recognize my device is connected. Any advice? Thanks guys. Sorry if I'm wasting your time.
[LG Nitro HD] jurassic512:
What if I'm running CM10 and TWRP? Can i just flash CWM and then Quattrimus AOKP41 without unbricking?
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
No need to flash CWM over TWRP unless you just don't like the functionality of it or you are having problems. You have a custom recovery installed being that you're on CM10 anyway; so no need to unbrick again.
[LG Nitro HD] jurassic512:
That's the thing, I never followed any unbricking guide to get TWRP and CM10 on my P930. And when I got it, it was running stock GB.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
I understand; but you have a custom recovery installed already. I'm guessing you flashed either CWM to begin with or TWRP back when you were still on GB and bypassed the update to official ICS. If that is the case, you have no need to unbrick as all the unbrick guide does is downgrade your phone to GB and flash custom recovery.

Same question barely 30 min apart too? tsk tsk tsk
[LG Nitro HD] jurassic512:
You guessed right. Thank y... wwaaaa?!

tsk tsk nothing. Yes I asked the same question 30mins apart in a DIFFERENT thread, because I want to flash this AOKP41 ROM, and wanted an answer ASAP. I was about to thank you until you felt the need to "expose" me.

great guide

Great guide man ! only easy and fast unbrick method working out there for my Bell LG930, now on CM 10.0 and loving it ! Had to unbrick because i was on stock bell rom, semi bricked it while trying to install recovery, finally learned that damn lg locked the bootloader with the ics update ! Used this method and bricked it for real the first time ! but successfully unbricked using it wisely afterwards and finally was able to get back to GB 2.3.6, flashed the recovery and there you go !

Again thank you very much, poeple with nitro hd and optimus lte should use this guide to unbrick or go back to gb before any other unbrick method out there !

KDZ crashing

Hello ppl,

I have read all this posts, and no answer yet.. the KDZ is crashing as you can see in the pic... Some ppl here had the same problem I think. What can I do?

Thnks
[LG Nitro HD] just1nsama:
I had the same problem using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, ran i on windows xp sp3 and worked, but u can you still try to right click on the .exe and make it run as Windows XP sp3 or sp2. I also read you can click in the bottom left of the windows where its written "Read phone information" and after run upragde now from there, worked for someone on this thread. If you need help to modify the compatibility windows thing i was talking about or if i am not clear enough, just it me back. =)

[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Just to verify; you are using the LG updater found in my zip? The one provided elsewhere will crash at that step every time. Try running as Administrator, and/or try using compatibility mode. Which model are you using this on? P93X or su640?
[LG Nitro HD] bugfast:
Hello again,

I have a P936, and using only the files from your zip.

I was trying in Windows 8 Pro x64, with compatibility for WinXPSP3 and it does the same.. Crash.. The Read Phone Info works, but then I press Upgrade Now and crashes again..

Now I will try in other PC with WinXP.

Regards

update file crashes under some windows 7

FYI, yours also crash (even run as admin), had to run it on windows xp sp3 to make it work (normally running windows 7 x64 ultimate), you might want to had to your guide that the user might have to run it in windows xp compatibility mode to make it work or directly run it under windows xp if it crashes running windows 7 or windows vista, just saying, seems im not the only one who had this problem with your lg update .exe file, seen 3 three posts about it.

Justin
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
It's will work fine in win 7 however you have to have the HOSTS file modified and be running the http service just like the old unbricking guide and you must do it through the read phone info and then click upgrade from that screen.
[LG Nitro HD] just1nsama:
That's weird because i didnt change my hosts file or used the http service written in the other guide and still worked ... i thought it was the whole point of this guide, not having to use the http service and host files ..
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
I don't know then? Without the modified HOSTS file it kept wanting to download v20c and wouldn't use the KDZ. And without the http program running it gave me a communication error. Using the program straight it would crash in win 7, so that was the only way I could get it to work. It wouldn't even work in Win 7's XP compatibility mode still crashed. This method is still better than the old because we now have to proper bootloader not the one for the su640.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
If it's telling you which KDZ to install, you are definitely not following the guide correctly. The guide requires that you have the LG Updater (B2AppSetup) installed, but you don't use it to flash the KDZ.
[LG Nitro HD] RaceOfAce:
So if I have a P936 on Gingerbread and I follow this guide, can I install CM10 and Gapps package through CWR? Does this device support the P930 version of CM? Sorry, I'm a noob.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Ok I know I didn't miss a step and eventually I did get it to work. I am going to try something. I will start over on another computer, one that I haven't even installed drivers for the p930 and see if I get different results. BTW the B2AppSetup was installed but the app I used was the kdz_upgrade one. But like I have stated before I am running win 7 and clicking on "phone information" was the only way I could get it to work and it was pressing upgrade from there where it would attempt to d/l the file... Weird.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
If you already have Gingerbread, you can just root the device, install Rom Manager from the Play Store, and have it install ClockworkMod Recovery for you. You don't need this method.

And yes, P930 / P935 / P936 are the same device as far as installing ROMs is concerned.
[LG Nitro HD] splintercraig:
ON step 19 "19 - Open cmd in KeepRoot\adb" cmd will not open for me,it keeps saying the version is not compatible. i tried to change the compatibility to vista, vista sp2, windows 7- I've tried different usb which once plunged in gave me a slue of drivers. nothing works, i can not install recovery from sd is there another way to get

CWM 6.0.1.5. Does any one have a cmd file compatible for window 7 32bit.

What weird is that in run in compatibility mode, there's no options for xp on this file. only win vista and win 7 and win sever.

edit: i just tried rom manger but since i followed these step my phone is not supported because "now" i have a lg-p936 instead of a p930 and going a head and flashing the the cwm for LGE-P930 does nothing.

I am also confused, why would cmd be able to run su commands on windows 7? forgive my ignorance.
[LG Nitro HD] just1nsama:
Try browsing to the folder using your default windows cmd and run adb shell from there, or just download the adt tool kit, you can google it, it will install the adt tools compatible with your windows, what are you doing with 32 bit win 7 anyways ? =)
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
ROM Manager should work fine. Did ROM Manager tell you that it flashed CWM successfully? Did you try rebooting to recovery to see if it's working?
[LG Nitro HD] splintercraig:
Okay: Rom manager did work. I just got this phone and i am coming from a epic 4g. I didn't realize that i had to go through as if i was doing a factory reset to enter CMW. All is good thanks.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
cmd.exe is the Windows Command Prompt. You should never download this program from elsewhere. It's built into Windows. You can access it from the Start Menu.

However the easiest way to do what the guide wants you to do is this: Open the folder where you extracted the Easy Unbrick files, hold down the SHIFT key, right-click on the KeepRoot folder, and select "Open command window here".

If you use Rom Manager, you do NOT need to do this at all though, so you're good. I just wanted to make sure if anyone else is trying to do this.
[LG Nitro HD] AUSTIN3:16:
No matter what I try, I can not get KDZ_FW_UPD to work. I'm running Windows 7 and the program crashes every time. I tried compatibility mode with XP (Sp2 & Sp3) and run as admin, but still no go. I've reinstalled the drivers several times and still no go. Can anyone help?
[LG Nitro HD] bugfast:
Hey dude, I had the same problem in Windows 8 and 7. I had to do that step in a Windows XP physical machine. Done in the first try lol.
[LG Nitro HD] just1nsama:
Yep same here, also told him to run it on an actual windows xp on my other post, thats the only thing he didint try and its the methode that will work for him ! =)
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Ok, so I'm still trying to get past step 5 here. lol Anyone can go back a few pages what I've tried so far, but now I'm trying a WinXP vm and it recognizes my phone and I can view the file system of the phone but the update will not find my device. In other words, I'm worse off w/ the WinXP vm than I am w/ Win7 Ultimate x64 where it would get stuck at 30% and say there's no connection. If anyone has ANY ideas, let me know pls. thanks in advance.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Put your phone in download mode. Dunno how well USB devices are going to work over a VM though.
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Derp. Can't believe I forgot to put it in d/l mode. :P
[LG Nitro HD] ynotdmf:
the easiest thus far for me to unbrick. root, & install cwm. ty!!
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
So after putting the phone in download mode in my WinXP vm I still get stuck @ 30% and the connection fails. Not sure why it can't establish a connection w/ my phone.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
I have noticed with VM that it will loose connection with the phone after it reboots into dl mode. Have you gone up to USB at the top of VM's Window to make sure the phone is connected to VM and not Win 7?
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
I'll double check but I'm sure the guest has usb from the host.

Thanx in advance....dont have a spare phone :(

PS: i installed msxml, i tried compatibility mode, will take time to find an xp machine.....

[LG Nitro HD] Fuzzypumper:
Most Excellent!

Howdy all!

Just joined xda-developers last night to study and learn about my first Android device, which I received last week. After a week's wait for it to arrive in the mail from AT&T, it didn't take long for the disappointment to kick in, with all the freezes and reboots like I was reading about here and on the AT&T forums. :(

But thanks to this thread, I'm up and running on GB, which seems to run much better than the 20c ICS that was on there, and I've got CWS and root to boot! I followed the instructions carefully and to the letter, and everything went as planned first try from my Win7 Home Premium x64 machine. Not bad for a noob, if I do say so myself! :D

Think I'm going to use GB for a while to see how she runs before I flash something else (based on my reading/research MIUI looks promising.)

Just wanted to say thanks for this excellent thread -- great work!

Win 7 compatibility

OK to get this to work with Windows 7 I have found ONLY two ways for it to work: (I finally had the time to experiment)

1) Virtual Windows XP, run the Windows compatibility mode that is in Win 7 Prof and above, this really is the best solution and will run this guide 100 %.

2) What I call the old method: Without the mode above the only way this works without Win 7 force closing the app is to click on "read phone information". However, without modifying the HOSTS file and having HTTP running it will download the latest ROM from LG, so in other words it performs exactly as the original, more complicated unbricking guide as if you had used the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe application,

So the best solution for this guide to work is a) Have a computer with Win XP. or b) Have a computer with Win 7 prof or higher running Windows XP compatibility mode. If you have Win 7 Home or Vista just use the old guide as that is your only option.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Just throwing this out there: I have Win 7 Home Premium 64bit... never ran anything in any sort of compatibility mode, pretty sure I didn't run anything as an administrator, and I had absolutely ZERO problems. Worked the first time through.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Yeah I don't know what's up with swetnes' issues, I'm sorry to hear about them but I never had to do anything like that. Done it on windows 8, and windows 7 with no issues and I didn't even have to use compatibility mode.
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
I envy you. I still can't get past step 5. I've since given up on this guide, unfortunately.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Did you try holding your mouth right? Maybe shake a stick at it and yell loudly at it.
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
No but i did throw it once... true story.
[LG Nitro HD] tany.jags:
Thanks but found an xp machine....now on CM10 latest nightly....awesome guide this.....btw no issues up till now.....
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
I don't know what version you are running but the one included with the unbrick guide is NOT compatible with win 7. And I am not the only one virtually everyone. Now if anyone knows of a different version of the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe please upload it as the one included in the unbrick guide dated Oct 16 2010 does not work with win 7 per the guide's directions. With that being said there are work arounds as stated before.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
I'm not saying that your'e not having problems, but it's not because the file isn't compatible with Windows 7. I just double-checked the dates on the .rar I initially downloaded and I used the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe from Oct 16, 2010 on a Windows 7 Home machine and had NO problems. I take that back, the only problem I had was not realizing that Windows Enabler just made it so you could click greyed out options... other than that, I had no problems.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
No, the one included (md5: 149d4d1eeb4fc7a2195bae448baf0a32) does work with Windows 7. Many of us have used it with Windows 7 without any problem at all. We have no idea why your computer has trouble with it.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Could it be that there is something in Win 7 ultimate than? The other poster had win 7 home and didn't have issues? Any way this is going to be my last comment on this as i have found a work around that does work.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
No, I have ultimate and it works.

Hi, just wanted to check if the V10F_00.kdz is any different from the p936 ICS version that LG distributes via their update tool?

I have that one installed, phone info says "P93620c-262-02" (Android 4.0.4, build IMM76D)

I am happy with that firmware except that it doesn't have root. Would the leaked V10F be much different, stability-wise? Is there any way to use this guide and end up with the firmware I have now, but with root?

Thank you very much!

I followed the guide on the first post of this thread precisely. The firmware flashing with the LG tool worked on the second try (Windows 7 pro 64x, I clicked on "phone info" before starting).

Then I flashed the CWM 20c rom from this thread.

You sir are a genius! I bricked my phone pretty badly and had no way of flashing another firmware (I always got the msg dll not found error) and could recover it with your guide. Altough I had to take a different path at the point where you flashed the V10F firmware, I just updated to the newest 4.0.4 version form LG because I got the "msg dll not found" error but CWM seems to run properly anyway (will see after installing CM10 is finished :) )

FYI

Though this method is fairly easy one thing I experienced if you did not do the "OPTIONAL" stuff, though missing some files, you will have to install the system.img from the other unbrick threads if you want to unlock the SIM card.

If you are planning on unlocking your SIM ($1.50 in eBay) simply carry on in loading the system.img.
