[MENTION=4586094]DaeNiarzk[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4419327]spyrosk[/MENTION] how could you get the p990 pt layout on the phone? It can't be the same as p990. Anyway, It will not boot up on that pt layout because, the kernel's ramdisk is different. The /system is at mmcblk0p2, /data is at mmcblk0p11, /data/cache is at /mmcblk0p3 on original su880 layout, and on p990 /system is at mccblk0p1, /data is at mmcblk0p8, /data/cache is at mmcblk0p2. The bootloader will try to load the kernel from mmcblk0p7 which is the recovery partition on p990.

[MENTION=4586094]DaeNiarzk[/MENTION] so what is your phone doing? Is it turns on with your battery? How did you got the p990 layout on your phone?

[MENTION=4419327]spyrosk[/MENTION] I did not forget to send you those nvflash files, but currently I am not at home :( . This thing that su880 stucks at LG logo when you try to enter S/W mode is very common, I don't know what cause it, but it happens after when you use one of the bootlodaer installer from the first topic, but this strange behaviour does not come out for everyone. To trigger S/W download mode you have to start a kdz upgrade and when the phone restarts you force close the updater, but this require a running system on the phone.

More about this stuck at LG logo when you enter to S/W, I was helping to a guy whose phone always stucked at LG logo. I was trying to make an nvflash of v20c files, but the kernel image was filled with zeroes. (more about this here) . So after flashing the bootloader and flashing the wrong image of the kernel with full of zeroes the phone could go to S/W download mode. Maybe we could try it, but as I said I am not at home, so I cannot create/extract any file to zero out the kernel partition.

Another interesting thing about su880 is that it can't boot cwm from the recovery partition just only from the kernel partition. So su880 owners can't have cwm and working android at the same time. Maybe they could try to flash the kernel to the recovery partition and cwm to the kernel partition. So when they simply turn on the phone by pressing poower key it goes to cwm, and hwen they press voldown and power it boots up to android.

I have nvflash for v10m which has a 4 types of partition.cfg what is worked for a guy was that version, where I used EB1 EB2.... , but the problem with this is that it totally breaks the nvflash scripts for su880 because by nvflash side there is an EB1 EB2 EB3.... before each partition which have to be on the extended partition.

The best solution for gettin rid of these probles could be that if someone send me or you a su880 for temporary. The sad thing about this is that this type of phone only sold in asia. Vietnam, Korea, Taiwan, Philippines

[MENTION=4325732]bitdomo[/MENTION] my mistake. When I asked for the partition layout from

a working device

DaeNiarzk gave me the one in previous posts and I didn't realize that it was from his bricked device.

As I can see you have all the info I need, so if you are interested and have the time we can work together and assist me to create an add-on pack for AIO-toolkit like I did for su660.

BTW I don't own an SU880 to send it over sorry. I only have a P990.

[MENTION=4586094]DaeNiarzk[/MENTION] How did you end up with a p990 old-bl layout in first place? Did you use aio-toolkit before you ask if it can be used?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
[MENTION=4419327]spyrosk[/MENTION] we can put our heads together to make the plugin, but there is one problem I don't have SU880 either. We have to find someone who has that type of phone, and ask him/her to test the plugin. even if it will brick the phone for the first time. I think if we can bring back DaeNiarzk's phone to life then we could make a plugin atleast for unbricking SU880. We don't have to do much just achieve the S/W upgrade screen somehow then Su880 owner can use smartflash to falsh stock rom, that will revert the partition layout as well to factory defaults.

[MENTION=4586094]DaeNiarzk[/MENTION] can we arrange a date when you and I are at home, and I can help you with your phone through TeamViewer? Where do you live? What time zone are you in? I am on holyday. Is your battery working? I come home on Friday, so my whole Saturday and Sunday are free.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alamatnitotoy:
Thanks for keeping the thread alive guys..

i still use my SU880 but i cant afford to use it as a test because im using it at work.

but to give my experience in reviving the SU880.

i just dont give up flashing the NV flash.. i dont know what happens during flashing but every time i flash the same files, it does gave me different results..

(like sometimes it will boot LG logo, S/W)

so heres what i did in fixing my phone:

1.try to nvflash any of this boot loader until you get to the LG logo

(download Bootloader installer for V19c from page 1 and run bootloader installer for gb or ICS)

if phone still wont power on

(download Root V20c from the 1st page and run restore img.bat)

just do this two option till you get to LG logo

then flash the KDZ again.. or much better to use the Custom rom posted in 1st page

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
[MENTION=5400315]ghalie[/MENTION] just keep trying what that nvflashing I said before, on different USB ports. This happens event for P990 phones. there is nothing what you can do just keep trying to run the cwm for v19c using with option 2. It will work after a few tries

[MENTION=4586094]DaeNiarzk[/MENTION] can you rerun my v10m_nvflash on your phone, but this time you have to add an additional line.

Open up the flash.bat file with notepad++. Go to the end of the file. You must see something liek this:

echo.Restarting phone...
echo.
echo.
nvflash.exe -r --go
pause

Change it to

echo.Restarting phone...
echo.
echo.
[COLOR="Red"]nvflash.exe -r --sync[/COLOR]
nvflash.exe -r --go
pause

Save it, then run it. When the nvflash is flashing the image files insert your battery, but be careful do not break the connection, because you have to start everithing from the begining.

When the nvflashing finished. your phone should boot up or maybe S/W upgrade appears for 10 secs, but after this there could be two possibility.

1st the screen turns off then turns on and it starts showing that the battery is charging

2nd the screen stays turned off.

Does not matter what case you get, just try to turn on your device.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
bro ..

my phone is on , when i turn power on the LG logo showed then SW mode then restart and back in lg logo ??

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
Can you enter to S/W mode by holding volume down and connect the USB cable?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
No ..

When im holding volume down can't work to enter sw mode ..

Now i press power .. Then hold volume down n not hold volume down .. Only press power ??

What happened ?? My phone boot into the android home :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
Okay now have to tell me everythign what you did :D step by step. Then we have a working nvflash rom :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
hmm ...

i use your nvflash10 flash rom in yesterday you give me the link ,,

then i download .. but i try your command in yesterday not work ,

have you done the holiday ?? :D

then in this night (im from indonesia , in this time is 23.10 PM ) i will try your command ..

echo.Restarting phone...
echo.
echo.
nvflash.exe -r --go
pause

Change it to

echo.Restarting phone...
echo.
echo.
[COLOR="Red"]nvflash.exe -r --sync[/COLOR]
nvflash.exe -r --go
pause

when iam enter nvflash my battery just plugged (i dont know why work to enter nvflash mode with battery , because before try your command i try the attach [MENTION=4419327]spyrosk[/MENTION] nvflash n bootloader then instal)

after finnish in your last command , i just unplugged the cable (sorry im not try your command in this time :laugh:)

then plugged again press power and hold volume - button , then hold off volume - but you must hold the power button then you got boot -> finnish :victory:

big thanks to [MENTION=4325732]bitdomo[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4419327]spyrosk[/MENTION] you are good senior member ,,

always suport the thread n answered when the member asking ,

be the best bro :good::victory:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
Just one more thing. Remove your battety and after 4-5 secs insert it back and turn on your phone. Only press the power on key nothing else.

You may ask why you have to do this. The answer for this is simple. When the nvflash.exe -r --sync command ran it will keep the bootloader loaded in the RAM. I don't know what else the --sync command do but I am sure do more than simply keeping the bootloader in the ram
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
ohh okey ..

then what im doing to my phone ?? flash the v19 or JB ?? :)

hey my phone can not enter sw mode when i press n hold volume - ..

the serial number is 000000

i will try to enter sim card is no network

and the baseband is unknown :(

what the problem now ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ghalie:
so all i need to do is try and try until it suceed??

[MENTION=5400315]ghalie[/MENTION] just keep trying what that nvflashing I said before, on different USB ports. This happens event for P990 phones. there is nothing what you can do just keep trying to run the cwm for v19c using with option 2. It will work after a few tries

do i need to hold volume + n _ when i am flasing??

and

1. usb debuging

2. remove and go apx mode by pressing volume + and - ( do i need to hold it until the loading is finish?)

3 use the cmw fix v19

4. run cmd and press 2

5. ??

after it finish loading what do i need to do??

should i put back the battery and power on the device??

2 things happen

first it reboot and show battery charging

second nothing happen?? just blank

your saying i need to try and try it??

thanks to you bitdomo...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
Okay the baseband unknow and serial 0000 could caused by the bad flash when your phone got bricked one year before.

Read the first topic how to use kdz updater.

When you use kdz updater your will be restarted to s/w mode. When your phone screen goes off be ready to force close the kdz updater, or you can remove the usb cable when your sceen goes off.

So the kdz updater sends command to restart to s/w mode but when the kdz updater detects your phone in s/w mode it starts to flash new rom, which is bad for us since we want to use smartflash.

Download the v10m kdz, use it for kdz updater, but dont forget to force close kdz updater when your phone restarts. Use aio toolkit to extract the v10m kdz so it will generate smartflash files. So you will have 2 new files in a folder called V10m in the aio toolkit folder. Use aio toolkit to start smatflash. Sorry but I don't really remember what name of the tab you need in smatflash but you need that tab where you can select an AP and a CP file. In the cp section select the smaller extracted file then in the AP section select the bigger extracted file. Then hit start.

Oh DONT check erase call. Never ever if you check you can use your phone only as a pda. You will never be able to make phone calls. So dont check erase cal. Just leave it unchecked. Avoid it woth your mouse too.

If you succes full you have to be able to enter S/w mode anytime

Why we need smartflash? We need smartflash because it resets everything on your phone as it was when you take out from the box for the first time.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
where i download the v10m kdz ??

i have only v19 and v20 kdz from download in page one ..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
What I want to achive is bring back your phone to life.

What happend to your phone:

You tried to root your phone.

You enabled usb debugging

You removed battery then pressed ahnd held volume + and - to enter nvflash mode

You ran a nvflash script which flashed CWM recovery.

CWM recovery replaced your kernel

You need kernel to boot into android

If you have CWM your phone boot into CWM

But somethign went wrong and your phone can't boot into CWM

What I want to achive:

Flashing back the v19c kernel

cwm for v19c otpion 2 can flash back the kernel

What you have to do:

Remove battery

Press and hold volume + and - then connect USB cable to enter APX mode (nvflash mode)

Run cwm for v19c with option 2 to flash back the v19c kernel. So your phone can boot into android

If the nvflash stops as you shown on the pictures. Disconect USB cable then change USB port and do everythign from step 2

If we can boot into android then I am going to assist you how to root your phone.

---------- Post added at 07:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

Download it from here

The reason I stick to v10m is that when you flash v19c you can't upgrade to v20c. If you smartflash v20c you will brick your phone because LG messed up the kdz file. To flash v20c you have to be on v10m and use offical LG updater to upgrade to v20c

EDIT: [MENTION=4586094]DaeNiarzk[/MENTION] if the smartflash does not work just use the kdz updater, then we will see what will happen
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
wow ..

500mb :eek:

just waiting for 3 hours ..

hmm when im finnish download the file ?? what im doing for my phone ??

before i use KDZ and the file is v19 , my phone usb debugging is ticking then launch software, phone was not found , doesn't work .. :confused:

now i download i try your command and waiting for next command ;)

edit : i use kdz updater my software are not responding and force close then normal again n not finished ..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
When you finished with the download:

You use aio toolkit to extract v10m kdz to smartflash format.

You use the v10m kdz for the kdz updater

You force close kdz updater when your phone restarts. You have to close it before your phone goes to s/w mode

You use smartflash with the extracted files.

If this thing does not work download this and use it to upgrade your phone to v20c.

Test can you neter to s/w mode

Don't forget to go to sleep. :D

Read my previous post again for more details.

When I got home I will make a video tutorial of extracting kdz and using smartfalsh.

I am going offline now. We will talk tomorrow
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ghalie:
i can boot to android but the problem is i cant root my phone i tried every instruction you said but still i cant root my phone...

plzz give me an instruction to root my phone its running firmware v19c

do i need to use cmw fix v19 or the old cmw file??

hope i can root my phone thanks in advance
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
okay ,

hmm are u sure with this command ?? sure or not sure i will try bcz i dont know what im doing to do ..

i can't sleep , bcz i sleep in this evening :D

i want fix my phone 100% then take a rest n thank you for your answer ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
it's not fix .

simply my phone can't detected in my pc .. but the driver all have done instal ..

my usb debugging in my phone is ticking ..

when im in kdz updater my phone not detected

not detected ..

when im in Smartflash tool my port not detected

not detected ..

then in the B2Capp my phone just not detected , im instal the driver in menu not found for su880 ..

hmm..

im waiting for you command again ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
It must be a drivers problem. When I connect my phone to my laptop these are the new devices I get:

What you device manager showes? USB debugging is not enabled on my phone
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
my device manager ..

usb debugging in my phone is not enabled ..

im in windows 8 , i looked you on windows 7 :)

edit : im try to disable windows enfrocement then instal driver LG again ..

and the result

but when im open kdz and then instal is not responding (im ticcking the usb development)

my phone not to s/w mode ..

b2c
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
Now your computer see your phone

kdz updater is not compatible with windows 7 and 8 it for windwos xp so this is normal.

What happens when you press start upgrade in b2c and change your location from UK to your country or korea
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
what the effect about the country ?? i forget to change the country ..

then in the B2C LG-SU880 detected n then show the notice use the imei n type ..

and now download the software ...

what happen in the next ??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
If everything goes well v20c going to be flashed to your device. Your baseband is broken that is why it asked you for your imei number. if the flashing finished you get the v20c baseband and hopefully you will be able to make phone calls.

If the flashing fails, then wait for me. I will be at home tomorrow. we will work it out to get your phone to S/W mode. Once, I could fix it, maybe I could do it for a second time. The problem is that I don't know what was the solution.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
not fix ..

the software stuck in 4%

my phone can not to s/w mode ..

ok im waiting for you ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
At 4% b2c sends the command to restart the phone to S/W mode, but it failed. It happens for my P990 as well.

You can try one thing.

I was helping to a guy who has a su880 he can't enter to S/W mode. I said him press and hold volume down and connect usb cable but nothing happened. Then I said, okay press the other volume key, and it worked.

Try to press and hold the other volume key and connect the usb cable, hold the key until the screen shows S/W upgrade. Try it with battery and without battery, if does not work press the other key and do it with and without battery.

You can try also this: hold the volume down key then press the power on key for 1 second then release it, but keep pressing the volume down key until you see s/w upgrade. If it does not work try it again with the volume up key.

If all fails then wait for me. I will be at home at about 17:00 GMT+1 timezone (CET central european timezone)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
My phone now in sw mode ..

i will try your command

You can try also this: hold the volume down key then press the power on key for 1 second then release it, but keep pressing the volume down key until you see s/w upgrade. If it does not work try it again with the volume up key.

what the next step ??

begin with this ??
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bitdomo:
Press start on smartflash :D

what was the solution to enter s/w mode?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaeNiarzk:
my phone with battery -> hold volume - -> and then press power button when LG Logo showed release the power button -> waiting for 3 sec then S/W mode ;)

waiting ,

im hopefully to fix it 100%

pray for my phone sir :D
