[Q] Does USB JIG for Samsung phones work on LG Optimus 3D

Hello.
I own that LG phone and i would like to update it to new official gingerbread or unofficial (kdz files).
But there is no update yet available in my country over LGMobile Update software and i doubt that my phone provider will get GB update cause i am still on v10d jul-8 version and they love to limit firmware changes ...
And I am also wondering why my phone doesn't have OTA update support in Settings->About..?
And final question is: will usb jig for samsung remove binary firmware counter?
Thank you all!

First, Optimus 3d hasnt firmware counter, second, update by kdz is like official becouse it's official firmware not custom.

Ok that's great. What about running a custom rom? I just change from Samsung i9000 to LG 3D so be gentle...

i had i9000 too,so procedure of installing custom roms is the same as on i9000.install Cwm and go straight ahead to development section for superb roms,mods,kernels and many more from our great developers
look at how to install official gb rom and then custom,more in dev section.

Well, if something goes wrong, you could always wipe and start from scratch provided it still boots to CWM.
If it doesn't boot even to CWM, you could try the Recovery Flash method which will format and install a stock ROM.
If it doesn't even enter to recovery mode... well, odds are the guy in the sweatshop repairing LG phones will just throw the motherboard to the bin and put a new one without checking if you rooted it or not.

Flame if u like but i need info lol

So to get started i got a LG Optimus 3D which had optus branding (Australia) and i had to change baseband to a latin one i think to use 850mhz 3G on Telstra i think it was 920h what i was wanting to know can i flash a stock GB rom through clockwork if i can what one will i need to get to keep my 3G? I wanna try out some of the custom roms but my baseband needs to be GB but its only froyo figured it would be easier to upgrade to stock GB and the flash to thaiz any input would be helpful thanks guys

Go there and go to the Australian firmware list get 20B gingerbread and install it via the kdz flash method so that you get the baseband for it. Once you have done that you want to get a pen and write down your vpn settings...
Then just flash any rom and re enter your vpn settings back onto the custom rom and your set...

Basebands can't be flashed via ClockworkMod.
You'll need to flash a gingerbread baseband with the LG Flash Tool.
A guide is HERE.
Once you do that, you can install ClockworkMod after rooting with SuperOneClick.
If you can't root with SOC, then use the Megatron Root in the same thread linked above.
And lastly, once rooted, use Recovery Manager to flash ClockworkMod.

Cheers guys ill gave a play around when i get home see how i get on

I've got a similar problem.. Lucky Aussies.
I've been using 2.3.5, Baseband L6260_Modem_Sic_01.1042.00, Software version LGP920-V21e-Apr-19-2012
The phone gets reception on the highway, but not near the house. My suspicion is that it is connecting to 2G only..
I'm currently testing JellyBam-4.1.0_p920.STABLE.zip...
Great phone, but the lack of support (upgrades) from LG especially in Australia is annoying..
Any great ideas people?
Cheers

New Baseband question (MARCH)

So I've been using G2x with July 15 baseband on canadian mobilicity network(wind variant of g2x)
and it's working pretty good except that MMS doesnt work
However if i want to use new ROMs (Singh UI..etc) I gotta have the new baseband for tmobile...
can I just install the baseband or would it have problem with mobilicity network?
or is it impossible for canadian g2x to get the new baseband update?
thank you

The baseband can't be installed separately with any of the P999 tools and don't use any P990 tools such as smartflash because it will brick your phone's partitions and baseband. The T-Mobile basebands work perfectly on WIND so they should work perfectly on Mobilicity too but you have to flash the .kdz file which will install the baseband, kernel, and ROM then you can install a different kernel and ROM which is compatible with the installed baseband.

No, you can't use CWM to flash the baseband, it won't do it. You must use either the LG updater which won't work for the WIND Optimus 2X because LG didn't supply any updates in Canada or the offline update method for the LG-P999/G2X which will work with a .kdz file.

Did you use the offline update? If you had, that wouldn't have happened because the offline update method uses an http server on your own computer to intercept all of the server communication to the official LG update server and enable updating of the phone which has any version of firmware running on it.

The newset baseband for G2X is 15-3-2012.

I flashed the new March 2012 baseband and now my gps doesn't work anymore. It stays stuck at "searching for gps signal." The thing is I don't remember what I was using before, the March 2012 or July 2011 baseband. I'm assuming July 2011 and the change could've caused this issue. However, shouldn't the new baseband be an improvement on GPS signal and whatnot? Anyways, looking forward to hearing some advice before I try to downgrade back to the March 2011 baseband.

ICS working on P920h

I got ICS to work on my P920h (Brazilian carrier - TIM). Here's how:
Download and flash xbsall's ICS using the instructions found here, with the following differences:
On the LG FlashTool Guide link, it says "select only *.bin file" (step 13 from the second post). To make it work on the P920h, you have to select XBSA404_AP.bin from the RAR you just downloaded and V20A_00_LGP920H_CP.fls from the ZIP you can download here.
You can add them both to LG Flash Tool at the same time (in any order). In case it doesn't work, try flashing both of the files from xbsall's RAR and, when completed, flashing just the V20A...fls.
I used the P920h.dll from the page indicated in LG Flash Tool tutorial.
Don't mind the error messages... once you hear the USB disconnected sound from MS Windows, you can detach the cable and turn on your phone.
Thanks to xbsall for porting ICS to P920 and tiagoclc for making the P920h baseband available.
Good luck guys!
According to xbsall, this method will work for rooting. I haven't tried it yet.

Can you please put a walk-through Video. Thanks

I'm from Brazil too, but I have the european version. I got an error when flashing, at about 28%, did yours flash just fine?

Thanks for the heads up. Got it running on my thrill now.... with cell signal... Taking a step down 2 3g put it ok... wifi seem to be real fast... now just need root and cwm... and maybe alittle oc and this phome is golden....

Do you mean the P920 version? Have you used the p920h.dll? If so, maybe that's not the best approach.
Also, I don't know if the Brazilian baseband will work on your device.
Good luck.

It did not work for me :S

Do you mean, in Settings / About phone / Software Information?
Because mine still shows Baseband version XMM6260, but my cellular network works now.
Which one of the methods did you use? Both .fls and .bin from xbsall and then V20A or xbsall's .bin and V20A .fls?
If possible, please try the other one.
Also, if you continue to have the problem, please specify your model (P920, P920h, P925), country and carrier, so we can help you find a solution.

Please give us more details: did the flashing procedure go to 80%? did the phone boot? what's you model number (P920, P920h, P925)? What's your country and carrier?

HI,
I used the xbsall's .bin and V20A .fls method, didn't worked ... i have the P920H from Vivo - Brazil.
Then i tried Both .fls and .bin from xbsall and then V20A, but i got the same.

I guess Claro's and TIM's networks use the same frequencies... that's why it worked on my phone (TIM).
Have you booted your phone after flashing xbsall's .fls? Maybe you don't need V20A.
If not, you should try to find a Gingerbread baseband compatible with your carrier, in .fls format.

is the v20A the newest for brazil?
im never sure because of ghostcalls
-> strangely v20A baseband is the only one that gives me 3G here in europe,
but i want to avoid ghostcalls, so, does anybody know, if there are newer basebands for brazil/south-america?
i read somewhere that v20A still had ghostcalls back then...
thanks, flo

I've been using this baseband since its release (on Gingerbread), and haven't had any ghost calls since.
And with ICS, no ghost calls so far

Yes, I booted my phone after flashing the xbsall's .fls
I Tried both ways , but none worked for me. I'm getting no signal with xbsall's .fls and 20A .fls ... and my old rom was with 20A from vivo

I am also from Brazil. I installed the ICS ROM but my mobile network Claro works only on 2G. Someone could just install the *. fls? I could not, progress is not moving.

Now i got signal ... but i keep losing it every time.

I have p925 thrill but mainly use O3D roms
at&t for my service
usa
could I get ICS working on my phone? i read where thrill users can't keep a signal or get a signal

As it is a beta version, and it was designed for South Korea, we can't guarantee anything. You'll have to try it to see.
I suggest using LGExtract.exe to extract the .fls from a Gingerbread KDZ you know to be working on your phone/carrier (V20A, V21E, whatever). Flash the extracted .fls baseband and see if it works.

Installed Open Euro d80220D on AT&T D800

I extracted and cooked the original rom stock rom (kdz) in the dsixda kitchen and was able to install it on my D800 with no issues at all, except WiFi doesn't work. everything else works. I tried replacing files from modules/libs folder of a working ROM but wifi still doesnt work. I have D800 kernel installed and also tried different non stock kernels still no dice.
Any help is appreciated.

just bought g2 like right now, coming from optimus g to optimus g pro.
both of those can be flashed with open Europe Roms with or without modems, rest would work as is.
my last device g pro E980, i jjust flashed the kdz for e980h to get open ROM without any other thing.
my question, can i do same with ATT g2, that is flash tot and modem if required ?

If you are talking about flashing stock rom on the AT&T LG using LG flash tool than I dont think you can flash any other rom besides the D800 or else you will brick it. Now if you mean flashing in a rom in custom recovery then yes its possible to flash euro roms (obviously)
Some one correct me If im wrong.

yes im talking about kdz / tot, and not custom roms.
still waiting for definite answer i know it can be done if i go with my previous experiences of 2 phones, but i will not go ahead unless i get either one of these answers by first hand experience.
1: can i flash 802 kdz/tot on d800?
2: if i fail at 1 can i go back and flash 800 tot, will everything be normal after?

can you upload that rom?

i cant do the Second method to restore my D800 i cant find a kdz file for the D800
