I installed and didn't had any problem for my LG thrill. Only disadvantage was you will be with 3G speeds. I just did by checking the instructions from the website..

meh, instead of clickin reply i clicked "thank"... i actually wanted to say that your reply doesnt make much sense as he is asking why it's not working for him. Your reply doesnt give much help -.-
Anyway, i have a similar problem but that's because i am trying it on win7 64bit. In fact, there's people reporting that it works on their win7 64bit. It seems to be different no matter what OS you are using.

I have a question for you. Did you just follow the O3D instructions and did you flash baseband? I'm also curious what your experience using the leaked gingerbread roms?

change com to 41, open lg program extracted within replace .exe and run the extracted as administrator =)
And remember to remove BATTERY, SIM and SD CARD.
That's the only way I managed to make it work on Windows 7 X64.

If that doesn't work either, try using the windows XP mode. You can get it for free on Microsoft.com just Google for it. That was the only way getting it to work on my win7. Only XP seemed to recognize the OMAP drivers and installed it. After several attempts it eventually worked.

If you install every single driver with administrator privileges (aka Run as Administrator) you won't face such problems.
What baseband did you use for your Thrill. Thats where I stopped, I wasn't sure if I should use one of the Euro ones, and which.
I am on W7x64 and doing the battery out SIM out thing worked for me. PC saw it and the LG Flash Tool looked like it was going to work. I just had second thougts about the baseband.

Ok I have the LG-P999dwp version, and was in unable to do the update through the lg updater. Was told that i have latest version. I am also running win7 ultimate and the KDZ program would always crash, so i found a work around.
I downloaded the LG kdz program and the V21_00.Kdz file You can get them from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179750 here are pics to help you do this on a windows 7 ultimate and should work for any version of win 7.
The pictures show you what to do.
1: open the KDZ program ( follow the instructions in the read me )
then keep the cdma and DIAG alone and choose the browse and click on the V21E_00.KDZ file.
Sorry if this has been posted but i searched and could not find anything on how to do this. I was working out a few ways to do this on win 7 without installing win xp
2:Click on read phone information at the bottom of the program.
3:Click on Upgrade Start
4:Change country to different country and change Language to english
5:click ok and this opens up the LG updater and will push the update of GB to your phone on windows 7 machine and for phone with LG-P999dwp model # (aka refurb)
thank you soo much!
Works!!! Just follow the steps exactly. My wife has a p999dwp and I have a p999dw. Ive been trying to get Gingerbread on hers for two days now (the official way). I can now find one complaint about the update, I love it. I haven't used Bluetooth yet though. Thanks so much.
Thanks... Worked perfectly....
Just in case anyone wants to know .... I put my phone back to stock and unrooted before I did the update process.... Everything went smooth, update process took about 10 minutes.. Thanks again Bullseye....
I can't get into S/W Update mode now to flash ClockworkMod ???
EDIT: Never mind...had to try it a bunch of times (volume down and plugging in) before it worked
see my only problem is everytime i try to install the lg updater tool it stops quarter of the way and doesnt move, i have a windows 7
how did u guys get the update tool to install, i run it as administrator and it starts but then stalls quarter of the way? and it told me i had to install the tool , but then i just tryed launching the update and it started the process, of course i didnt try with the phone plugged in, what do u guys think
It doesn't even want to read my phone info....it gives me Get Chiptype Error. Tried with Debug mode too-still nothing. It keeps freezing on me....I am running Win7 Ultimate 64bit.
Anyone else having the same issues. I have all the drivers installed.
you have to be in stock 2.2 froyo doesnt matter if youre rooted or not, and stock recovery, and run the tool while booted into froyo with usb debugging on .. and i dont know but i had my sd card mounted
and by the way if this worked for you THANK the freaking OP because he figured it out and you couldnt he's awesome, love you man xD

yes sir , for sure so sincest your talking about the lg update tool ur telling me i have to install it with the phone actually plugged in?
doesnt really matter, i had it unplugged till the window like the screenshot came up, try reinstalling the 3.x.x drivers from LG theres a thread somewhere and then plug your device in a different usb porn and wait for it all to install
It doesn't work for me guys. Tried reading the phone info as advised-it can't complete the operation. I get the stupid error and nothing happens. Don't know how to go around that error. Tried running the R&D tool in compatabilty mode and still got the same error.

The problems is, i cant do anything with the phone, feels like its brick, the only thing i can go is to "CWM", nothing else, so im tryin to connect my phone to the computer so it can find it and flash the phone with LGFlashTool
Unfortunately, "CWM" Only Samsung phones that are root is applicable, not applicable LG phones!!
Apart from installing flash the boot loader ROM,can update ROM your phone by the program "KDZ" to "B2CAppSetup" applications.
good luck...

So there have been a spate of people bricking their O3Ds lately... this is the last ditch method to recover your phone if you can't boot into Android, or CWM. No guarantees, but should work so long as your phone is still detected.
Download SmartFlash, then the corresponding packages for your phone:
---P920---
Baseband: http://d-h.st/xci
Baseband Mirror: http://goo.gl/yDnjP
Rom: http://d-h.st/WTE
Rom Mirror: http://goo.gl/UfG85
---P925---
Baseband: http://d-h.st/EBF
Baseband Mirror: http://goo.gl/mdLBn
Rom: http://d-h.st/gTO
Rom Mirror: http://goo.gl/auYkj
Extract smartflash.zip, install both driver packages. Then, run Windows Enabler, in the notifications bar, click it and make sure it is set to 'on'.
If you downloaded the rom from my dev-host link, unzip the .bin file.
Now remove your phone's battery and sim card, press volume up and connect your phone to the computer. Hold volume up until it is detected by the computer. It should take no longer than 20 seconds.
Now run B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe, go to rom copy d/l, select LGP920_CP.fls or LGP925_CP.fls for CP bin and LGP920_AP.bin or LGP925_AP.bin for AP bin, depending on your phone model. Make sure under communications setup that your phone is connected (verify the com port in device manager) and then click start. If all goes well, you'll have a working phone on v21E (P920) or v20P (P925) stock

Thanks for the links! However your P925 V20P baseband link is down. Can we get a mirror?
There was this one already, I used this method countless times. It's basically the same thing, but uses LG flashing software and kdz files, which are easier to find, download and flash. You can also use the marwin one with windows enabler and the hosts file tweak (that's what I use on a win7 x64 machine). I can't get why it hasn't been stickied or something...

Yes I know of that one, however it requires you to download so many pieces of software and block LG in the hosts file. This also works on all windows based systems and does not require just XP. Furthermore, if you're phone is bricked, Marwin wont work if your phone is bricked as your phone needs to be turned on and within Android. This is the simpler method to recover your phone without too much fuss.

Actually it does, just last night I used Marwin to flash the phone while it was in emergency mode, download mode (as I knew it when I had the LG gt540) or whatever it's called (volume up, plugged in, detected as a modem). It's not the first time either.
As for which option is simpler, I guess I have to try smartflash, because I don't know why i had this idea that it's a complicated and unstable piece of software
hey thanks!
could you re-up the smartflash link. she's not working! much love

You can't format user data or the /data partition?
In any case, try flashing CWM and see if its able to wipe the partition for you.

Just flashed the bin with LGFlashTool and this time everything works as expected, so it seems that smartflash is not doing a great job. Maybe it's not catching some errors? LGFlashTool wouldn't flash the files if they were stored on the network, but smartflash never complained.
Getril still says RIL/baseband don't match, but this time the baseband shows as LGP920AT-00-V21e
Seeing as there isn't a section for the LG P870/LG Escape I'm going to try and get as much info condensed into one thread for now.
Not even sure how popular this phone is but, hopefully this will be of some use to someone.
KDZ:
I know this isn't posted anywhere so here is the v10f KDZ from LG. It is the latest firmware as of 11/6/2012:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP870/AATTBK/P87010f_00/P87010f_00.kdz
If you don't know how to flash a KDZ I will make a guide here soon. V10f is rootable using the method below as is v10c
Download Mode:
To get into download mode turn off your phone, press and hold the vol+ and vol- keys, with those held down insert the USB cable while continuing to hold down the keys. After a few seconds phone will enter download mode automatically.
Rooting:
I was able to root my phone that has v10c on it using this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31963526&postcount=532
I used 1.6 of the root script but some say that 1.2 works better for them. I would try 1.6 if that doesn't work try 1.2 if it fails the first time run it a second time and it should work.
Thanks! My wife just got this. I was able to root and update and retain root with OTA rootkeeper. Was looking for a kdz just in case. If there's enough interest i will see if i can port TWRP so we can cook up some custom roms.
I am definitely interested in custom roms, I have this device. Its not bad considering the price and what you get. 1494 on geekbench too! Pretty decent!

Aye guys I'm new into rooting and android in general, but I don't really understand how to root this phone. Kinda been looking around for a while and I was wondering if you can write some sort of guide. As of now I'm pretty lost the other threads aren't giving me any general information on exactly how to root the LG P870 or androids in general.

Btw I understand what exactly what rooting does to your device and the purpose of rooting, its just exactly how to root the device.

Download the zip and unzip it to your desktop. Go into your phone's settings and go to developers options. Turn on USB debugging. Go back to settings and go to security. Turn on unknown sources. Now plug your phone in and run the .bat file that you just unzipped. Follow the commands on the and that should be it. Good luck!

KDZ is the LG format for ROMs which is the built in read only memory that hold the instructions for the phone to run the hardware and features.
But I just rooted my phone with a combination of the above files, and it didnt go exactly as I hoped. First I ran the v1.2 batch file linked above, (the 1.6 batch file archive is invalid and doesnt extract properly. It seemed like it ran properly, i did the restore (no data destructive you shouldnt lost any data) but I didnt have root when completed. Then I tried the v17 of the original thread which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
That one also ran but failed at the end saying something about me not having root on the phone.
I than ran the v1.2 batch file not once, but twice in a row. The second time I found my phone operating in "emulator mode" in other words, it was running laggy as hell and very slow. I then ran the V17 batch file from the link above, and boom it worked. So as you can see it wasnt typical, but I think if you dont have success with the 1.2 the first time, run it again, if it still didnt work, try running v17 like i did. I now have root and my phone is working fine.
Basically, I got the Escape then got the Nexus7 and have been involved in that. Really haven't been doing much with the Escape. I will be looking into more for everyone and hopefully get a custom recovery at the very least. Then at that point we can start thinking about rom. Until then we are stuck with what we have. I will get more info for everyone , till then this is what we have. If you think you can help go for it. If not sorry but this is the best info there is for our phone . I will positively without a doubt post any new info here so if that's what you are looking for this is the right place until then, thank you and you are welcome.

But in the PDF guides it says to put the phone in Upgrade mode by removing the SIM, battery and SDC(Micro sd card?) so I did that. Then insert the usb while holding the Volume Up button. All that happens on my phone is the home keys on the bottom just flash. And my phone doesn't connect to my computer either.
My Notes on LG P870
Ok I have fixed my device, well twice now. It seems whenever you try to change any file within the root it restarts, then boot loops. I tried too change a font using Rom Toolbox, it restarted then boot looped. I rooted the device using the 1.2v script once, but this time I'll try 1.7v and see if I can change fonts etc.
Are any of you guys having any problem with this?
If you do, and you are soft bricked just:
Download UPK 3.7.1
Then open up LG /mobile Update
Click Install Drivers(Make sure your phone is not connected) Choose your phone and carrier
Let that finish(Gonna take awhile you have to install all of them)
Then click Install updates...Done
Worked
Posting confirmation for an LG Escape (p870). 10f rooted using the tools linked in first post. Used version 1.2 to start and had to use the version 17 of the other rooting kit to finalize like another user encountered as well. Thanks will be given if they haven't been yet.
I have flashed the official ICS.bin but for some reason i am not getting any network signal. Can anybody help with this or had this problem? should i flash another baseband? Maybe the V30b baseband will work?
plus im not being able to root the phone. i tried to install the flashable zip by OS_Hacking but no luck even though it says its flashed and the adb_restore method is not working for me either. Help please

It always worked for me and definitely works for flashing the stock ICS v28b no matter your Windows version.
Perform a factory reset and it will work...

i've tried that and it doesn't seem to work. I've tried the methods to flash the KDZ but when the LG update program runs it always seems to download another update rather than use the V28B KDZ. Im at my wits end with this phone!
I say you try flashing the KDZ, but you're not guaranteed to get network working as I currently wasn't able to get mine working but everyone else seems to be doing fine by flashing the KDZ. I requested help, but no one has replied.
Remove all LG drivers and all LG software and start from scratch. I've done it through Windows 7 many times in the past and yesterday tried on Windows 8, with a few issues here and there, I finally got it. If you need help or get stuck just P.M. me so I can run you through it. Maybe the KDZ will work for you even though it didn't work for me.
The easiest way of course is to use LG flash tool on XP and you'll get rid of any problem
just follow this instruction
so many questions like this already in this thread.. and really got sicked of it.

It's 2013 and many people have strayed away from using an old OS like XP, suggesting to use it is not any help to anyone.
If you're sick of it don't come around. I've had my share of issues where quite a few people have helped me around here. That's what the community is for. I've personally read and followed everything to the dot, and still I don't have any network just like the OP. If the answer's around here then lead me to it, because I must not be reading correctly.

If the LG update downloads another update instead of using the v28b.kdz then you've probably didn't setup the http server and the hosts file correctly.
Check the link to the guide I posted on the first page and make sure you follow all its steps.
to everybody who is trying to help resolve this issue it is very much appreciated. Nobody likes to run into problems when flashing etc but like one of the other members posted thats what this community is for. I might try get hold of a machine or laptop running XP or create a partition and install it on my laptop and see if thats work but before i do that i will give the server method a try again from the beginning and see if that works. Thanks people and i'll report back on what i do and if it works
look at link in my post before. work for win7 too
just download xbsall rooted v28b zip and flash with lg flash tool and if your on windows 7 make sure you run lg flash tool in xp sp3 compataility mode it should work for you then.
here is the link for downloads read carefully before flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963847
