[LG Optimus 3D] Botchy-Pow-Dew:
Yes indeed you did help!!!!

I did everything again, with your files this time, and failed again, but I repeated, and it failed again, but further! :eek: Then again, like 5 times, then it completed! I was just hallucinating! When I saw the Green message saying "Download complete!" :good:

So now I am running 2.3.5 with Baseband V21E! So I am almost at the same point where I was before bricking the phone, when I was trying to put ICS V30A! But now that is working again, what do I have to do if I want leave that Baseband behind forever and get the Official V30A ICS from LG (Rooted if possible! :cool:)? Can you help with this?

Thanks again for your steps! They save the phone's live!

Cheers,

Sly
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
You can download the best v30a firmware here specific to your country then either flash it with LG flashtool or extract the kdz file to fls and bin using this tool http://d-h.st/kIz
[LG Optimus 3D] Botchy-Pow-Dew:
You can download the best v30a firmware here.... "here" where?

You say "here"... but where? Where can I find that v30a firmware?

Also, what is the best method between KDZ or FLS/BIN? What do you suggest?

Cheers!

Sly
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
Choose the firmware specific to your country.

Use LG flashtool if it seems easier to you.
[LG Optimus 3D] Botchy-Pow-Dew:
Still do not know where to download V30A for my country...

You cannot tell me where to look for that?

Thanks anyway!

As for the V21E I used to revive the phone with your help, I booted it, but found it had 0.00kb free... is it normal?

Cheers,

Sly
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
Oh sorry, forgot to mention the link http://lg-phone-firmware.com/firmware-Lg+Optimus+3D-Tutti-2.html

For the other problem, just do a factory data reset.
[LG Optimus 3D] Botchy-Pow-Dew:
All fixed, now using V8 ICS V30A Rooted from Xbsall!

All problems resolved! :D

Still Stuck On bootloaders

Hi Karim. I'm still stuck on Flashing Bootloaders, Same message again and again..... Remote partition does not exist.
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
I've added some steps recently for SU760 and I must mention also that the OS_HAKCING tool doesn't work for the SU760 models, so this is why you are still getting this error.

Check out the first page once again and I am sure you will be able to fix that problem.
[LG Optimus 3D] aqazi81:
I downloaded the Platform tools but when I open any of the files in it, A DOS screens suddenly comes and disappear..I m using windows XP
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
Go the platform tools folder, press shift and press the right-click and choose open command window here.

Then type the commands in this cmd.
[LG Optimus 3D] aqazi81:
I don't get any option for command window by pressing shift and right click....:(:(:(
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
Close everything and enter the folder, then press shift and keep on holding it until your press the right-click.

Check this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dzU1Z8VSlA

I have bricked my device more than 4 times and it always helped me.
[LG Optimus 3D] vhd99:
I have 3 diffrent p920 bricked..All tried all of this method even flashed via octobus box but none of them unbricked..

One of them reset in lg start logo,one of them never powerup..

and no one of them can go fastboot mode..Only goes download mode but nothing happens after flashing flashed 3 diffrent rom by this method but dsnt work..but i cant go into fastboot mode for load gb bootloader :S
[LG Optimus 3D] drastic00:
Sorry, wrong thread...deleted.
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
Why are you unable to access fastboot mode ? Did you try different button combination ?

Did you use smartflash to flash the firmwares ?
[LG Optimus 3D] Mubashir42:
Help!

Hi.

I own a lg su760. it got locked due to too many pattern attempts, and i can't unlock it through the email. I cant enter the download mode either, so i used your guide to do so. i can not take it beyond step 7, it always says that the files aren't there. Any ideas on how i could get aound it?:confused:
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
You can skip this step because your device is not bricked :laugh:

Proceed to step 20
[LG Optimus 3D] Mubashir42:
i cant get it to connect as usb serial port. it connects as ti board, should i uninstall the drivers for te ti board?

[LG Optimus 3D] NuclearPunch:

[LG Optimus 3D] pandablues:
Su760 dont know if bricked or not

okay after researching a bit about fastboot i was able to do step 18 without any errors

and i continued to the next step up to last but when i reboot the phone nothing happened the apps still there the pattern lock everything and when i tried to boot to CWM recovery it's not CWM recovery but the stock recovery that comes up now i'm starting to think this phone is like frozen or something no changes ever applies to it even after using all the tools that you gave in this thread

can anyone help me with this phone coz i'm having nightmares now that i cant flash a simply stock rom to an android phone T_T

p.s I still haven't bought the phone from my friend but I want to buy it since he is selling it to me very cheap due to this issue.
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
Skip those steps and head up to the flashing step and see what you will get.
[LG Optimus 3D] pandablues:
the step for flashing loads and detects the phone i can proceed and finish it then the phone reboots but gets stuck on the lg logo i have to press the power button to turn it off then i turn it on again then nothing happened to the phone still same all apps prompt force close..the phone kinda feels like a computer that is on freeze any changes made doesn't last

I even used fastboot to load a cwm recovery for su760 still nothing..
[LG Optimus 3D] Karim Kahale:
Go to the folder where you stored the x.loader,bin and other stuff, press right-click and click on open command window here.

Type in the following commands :

fastboot flash x-loader files\x-loader.bin

fastboot flash u-boot files\u-boot.bin

fastboot flash boot files\boot.img

fastboot flash recovery files\cwm.img

Thanks for replying sagar..

I have removed the battery and connect it to the pc using usb cable. Its been 1/2 hour still it doesnt boot up

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sagar.andro:
most phone boot up when they connected to usb cable or charger try to use other full charge battery

if ur phone boot up for same second then try this

1. Turn phone on with battery.

2. Plug phone into wall charger.

3. Then Remove battery.

OR

remove battery and clean battery connector point OR if its not battery problem so take ur phone to service center or mobile repair shop to check ur phone USB Charging Port / point

Hope its work

Anyone figure out how to stop this completely?

[Galaxy S 4 General] Bjray:
From GSM Arena: "Finally, the chrome rim around the display on the Galaxy S4 isn't plastic this time and made of some kind of metal instead. The cooler material gives immediate higher-quality reassurance when you start to operate the device."

Also I DON'T care if it's metal or not as I have already pre-ordered mine. This thread is just a discussion if it's metal or not, simple as that.

Funny how you can't see the metal rim within videos. I think this is one of the reasons why even HTC One users are saying the S4 feels very rigid.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
Dude....it's polycarbonate. It's still plastic, but very resistant. They are wrong. I'm sure they wrote that sentence one month ago and didn't even observed that isn't metal.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bjray:
You're looking at the wrong area of the phone. Look at the RIM around the display, not the full side of the phone like a metal band on the iPhone 4.

1: It's cooler to touch than rest of the body of the phone. If it was polycornate it would be the same temperature wouldn't it not?

2: You easily tell the difference by how the two materials are separated. Look at the last bottom pictures (showing the volume rocker & wake button).
[Galaxy S 4 General] thatbimmerkid:
i think its still plastic
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bjray:
We'll all see (100% confirm) when our pre-orders come in :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Currykiev:
Why is this even a topic? If you want metal then get a One. If you want plastic then S4 (assuming this is your only criteria when buying a phone!)

Are people so desperate to validate the build quality of the S4 that they are resorting to this?

I had my S2 for 2 years and LOVED it. Who gives a flying F if it's made of plastic. One tiny 1mm thick strip is nothing. Again I'll say it.... WHO CARES?

P. S. It's probably plastic :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
[MENTION=3787096]Bjray[/MENTION] I would like to say that that's metal, but is just shiny plastic. Being metal will increase the protection of the screen glass if the phone is dropped on the bezel, but no....it's still plastic. Let's wait to put the hand on a S4 and I will then tell you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bjray:
I already pre-ordered my S4... And used a One before (didn't like it). But it (metal rim vs plastic) would help with protection from falls bezel based.

Put your rant somewhere else... sheeh... I don't even care if it comes out to be plastic.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bjray:
But we still can't come to a conclusion as to why the rim is cooler than rest of the body though...

[Double post - sorry]
[Galaxy S 4 General] allmine1976:
The note 2 is metal so it's not that much of a stretch to think that the s4 also has it .
[Galaxy S 4 General] brakke97:
Nice!
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
Agree, but will look less cooler scratched (I'm sure is pretty easy :D)

[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Does anyone seriously think the 1/16" strip that surrounds the display being metal is going to make any difference in the way the phone looks or feels? If it wasn't for this thread I wouldn't have even noticed said trim wasn't part of the surround (where the buttons and ports are) that encircles the phone that people actually touch when using it. That part is definately plastic because you can see a flash mark on the corner of the last pic OP posted.
[Galaxy S 4 General] allmine1976:
Absolutely
[Galaxy S 4 General] mattdm:
Absolutely there will be more answers on Google? Or absolutely you're 100% sure it's metal?
[Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
Plastic or Metal doesn't really matter to me. I have had every Galaxy S version and am fine with the plastic. The thing that is tweaking my AR is the small gap under the screen in the second picture :crying:

[Galaxy S 4 General] mattdm:
The Note 2 is definitely not metal. I own one too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] allmine1976:
How would you know ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] mattdm:
It looks and feels like plastic. But if that's not good enough for you, search google. There are plenty of sources stating that when the chrome-like finish scratches off, the white plastic is visible underneath.
[Galaxy S 4 General] allmine1976:
When I dropped mine on my concrete driveway it left a small dent and some of the paint came off to show metal . Maybe you saw some pictures on Google of the s3 .
[Galaxy S 4 General] mattdm:
Can you take a good picture and post it?

From where I'm sitting, the Note 2's rim is the same cheap chrome-colored plastic that has been on Samsung and Blackberry phones for years. You can tell from the temperature when you touch it, from the feel of the surface, and even from the contours resulting from the plastic molding manufacturing process.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bjray:
[MENTION=4890367]BoneXDA[/MENTION]

So it is metal? The part under it is plastic for sure. But still can't tell if that's chewed up metal or plastic rim (top part)...

From Bone123 @ gamepod.hu

"It essentially consists of two parts: the cover page. A wide range of actual page elements hatássú coated metal (Samsung MO fact that metal is below), and the screen immediately surrounding metal band which is based on the plastic breaking.

The point is that leaving space between the glass and Gorilla Glass protecting the shell side, so hopefully despite an intense shock will be damaged in the crystal structure nor what these glasses are not tolerated. Arcalla Probably it will be down badly."

Hmmm...
[Galaxy S 4 General] allmine1976:
It feels nothing like the s3 which does fill like plastic .

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 PM ----------

Plastic .
[Galaxy S 4 General] samovog:
i own the phone: It is 100% plastic...
[Galaxy S 4 General] mattdm:
It feels exactly like the S3 would feel if it had the chrome-like finish instead of the matte silver finish. Same plastic, different coatings.
[Galaxy S 4 General] allmine1976:
Own what phone ? If you referring to the note 2 it's actually faux metal sides .
[Galaxy S 4 General] samovog:
I own the Galaxy S4 GT-I9505....
[Galaxy S 4 General] allmine1976:
Your wrong , look it up .faux metal sides . Obviously it's not full metal it's polycarbonate with a thin metal sheet wrapped over it
[Galaxy S 4 General] mattdm:
Wait, so this whole time you've been saying that it is in fact plastic, and only has a metallic coating?? Obviously we're talking about whether or not the material itself is plastic or metal, from a structural standpoint. I couldn't care less what the coating is; plastic is plastic.
[Galaxy S 4 General] crawrj:
Lol I know. I wish I had never seen this post :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] allmine1976:
Plastic is plastic and metal is metal . Polycarbonate is strong and outer material is metal . Seriously the note 2 is solid because of the combination of polycarbonate and thin metal sheeting (not coating) as compared to the s3 which is painted polycarbonate .
[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
I'm not convinced that rim 1 is only polycarbonate, is

elevated relative to the screen

and very thin. If is polycarbonate can be very fragile.

Rim 2 can be polycarbonate and doesn't harm.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GTRagnarok:
So it's just that tiny rim around the screen? That's such a minor thing. It would be more interesting if the whole band was metal. Hard to believe the much bigger S4 weighs less than my iPhone 4.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
If that's real metal RIM, will be nice, because will protect the screen from cracks when you drop the phone on the bezel. But I doubt they used metal. If they really lost the time doing that rim, they could have done the whole bezel metallic.
[Galaxy S 4 General] da_hool:
I really wish they didn't use chrome painted plastic for the lip around the edges on the face of the phone.

The sides look metal and the official Samsung commercial makes it a point by highlighting it as "premium finish", see video below at 29 seconds.

[Galaxy S 4 General] melcali:
How about taking a magnet and see if it sticks to this area...
[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
No, in principle to be metal will be a light alloy so the magnet doesn't serve to confirm.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bigjim1488:
Why even make a post?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Highway 55:
Why does everybody think metal = quality. That is what Apple would have you believe. Polycarbonate is a very robust material. Most ANSI rated safety glasses are made of polycarbonate. If it is good enough to protect my eyes on the job, than it is good enough for my phone. Not to mention the numerous other applications of polycarbonate that will take far more abuse than a cell phone. IMO, polycabonate protects the screen better than metal, because plastic doesn't seem to transfer the energy upon impact as much as metal. I have seen numerous metal clad iPhone 5s wrapped with otterbox defenders with broken screens after being dropped from ear level. My plastic Nexus S with a Seidio active case has fallen from my tool bag numerous times off of scaffold taller than 10 feet with no ill effect. Obviously these aren't scientific stats, but they are real world observations.

You guys can argue about metal vs. Polycarbonate all you want. I will take a WELL MADE polycarbonate phone any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Just my $.02....
[Galaxy S 4 General] Bjray:
Couldn't have said it better than myself...
[Galaxy S 4 General] eroracing:
Agreed!
[Galaxy S 4 General] patelkedar91:
Wow... this thread escalated quickly.

To be honest, I think I'd rather have a plastic "metallic-looking" rim than metal.

I have an Evo3D -- I'm tired of bulky phones. Give me a thin, light plastic phone and I'm golden.
[Galaxy S 4 General] vijai2011:
I think Conductivity test will help then :D.Using a battery a led bulb and two probes like in the attached image :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] bedi.gursimran:
So if it's metal does that mean it will be better against impacts or vice versa. I like what they did on the GS2(I have one) it looks much better than the brushed plastic. Anyways I am going to put a case on it anyway hopefully the official Samsung Flip Case.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Highway 55:
Lol!

My previous post wasn't meant to be confrontational at all. I will admit that a metal device does "feel" like its better made, but the notion that it actually is better made is nonsense. All of the advances in certain polymers in the last 10 years makes metal vs. plastic a non issue, as long as the product is well designed. The metal = quality argument is pure marketing hype, IMO. My phone will always have a case on it that covers everything but the screen anyways LOL.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pygo:
I for one surely hope it's metal. For anyone who has ever used or picked up a Blackberry 9900 will know exactly what I mean. It's the very first thing you notice when picking up the phone and the most enjoyable design bit...plastic made to look like metal would just feel cheap. A nice pair of implants will never feel as good as the real thing. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Hendrickson:
My Optimus G Pro has this metal look plastic. Same design, same material too I bet. 99% sure its not metal!
[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Metal or not, the slim separate nature of the top rim around the glass is worrysome. Opon 1m fall it broke, while the thicker rim under it looks more solid. Of course the point is the side to take the hit and not the glass, but I've dropped my Huawei plastic from 1,5m and not a single scratch is on it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
At least screen dont broke, that flexible little rim absorbed the impact.

All IP4 broke their screens in same side you show, due its rigid steel rim.

Is hard to have good protection and keep all full premium materials, choises.....
[Galaxy S 4 General] ben3003:
looks metal to me, it is malleable, see how it was "flatten" at the impact area, plastic doesnt deform like that. Plastic just crack most of the time, unless it is hollow.
[Galaxy S 4 General] joefrog1996:
Should I wait for the note 3? I really like the big screen and the S PEN!!!!! on the note 2. However I just couldn't settle for the 720p screen and the old camera/processor. (I know there not that old but the phone needs to last 2 years).

Or should I get the s4? With the wicked fast snapdragon and 13mp camera. Not to mention how sexy it is.

PS: Samsung has a bigger budget for the hardware if they use plastic bodies.
