[LG Thrill 4G] Brandon Gomez:
I have the ghost call bug on LG Thrill ICS, and I read flashing back to froyo will fix it. That would be great if I could flash back to froyo. I found out I am no longer able to flash my phone with LG Flash Tools (in the LG Update Package), the official up to date LG Mobile Update program, and with the LG Flash tool (which flashes .bin and .fls files).

The symptoms of not working are:

Lg Flash Tools: The updater fails on 5% because of Page_Error ºÎºÐÀÔ´Ï´Ù.

I suspect this doesn't work because I have a custom bootloader from the All-In-One Package that shows the Silver LG Fastboot Logo instead of the standard red logo. I have already tried using the recover update trick used to solve the page error I read in a different post. This leads into the next symptom.

LG Mobile Update: This freezes on 4% and has no log of why it won't work. I can only perform the recover phone mode as the tool now recognizes I have updated the phone (which it only recognized that it is up to date after I flashed the custom bootloader).

LG Flash Tool: This tool as the others used to flash but it now just counts the time and doesn't increase the flash percentage at all. I have tried both the P920 and the P925 dll and they both have the same result.

The flashing methods described above don't make any visible changes to my phone (or any changes at all). I have tried wiping the x-loader and the u-boot via fastboot to find I can't boot into s/w mode without reflashing those back. I have not tried wiping the whole phone because I am tired of bricking my phone over and over and I don't have the files in fastboot ready format to flash back anyway. I couldn't figure out how to back up my whole phone via fastboot (and I can't go around this problem for the baseband because their is no radio partition).

I have Googled and messed with my phone a week and since I am desperate to fix this ghost call bug I decided to not wait any longer before asking for help. Can someone please help me fix my flashing problem so I can go to froyo to fix the ghost call bug. I have froyo in kdz format and in .bin/.fls formats (baseband and .bin). I used both the s/w and the lg software option of starting an update for flashing. I remembered I forgot to tell you I also tried resetting the tools on the computer and followed the instructions to the letter to get rid of any configuration problems that may have occurred.

I will press the thanks button for the first of those who help me solve my dilemma, even if I have to pull the solution from multiple answerers.

Bonus: As an extra bonus, what can I do to write directly to and read directly from the phone's flash chip so when I get my upgrade in March, I can retire my phone to OS development.

The log from the LG Flash Tools is:
