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.
Wonderful, thank you! When everything else failed.... you became my new saviour. Cheers.
This doesn't work for me.
I launched getril and it tells me that the RIL is 21e, but the baseband is XMM6260 and it recommends I switch to a 21d RIL.

Not sure, but this baseband or smartflash method is not working for me. I can't connect to the mobile network.

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.
-Thanks
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.

Is their a guide on how to flash the device using the kdz flash tool? I mean my phone won't turn on though. It goes into the lg logo then just goes black (the back light is still on).
K I have all the tools but
I downloaded every tool from this thread
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.

To flash baseband you need the .fls file only.
No modified cable needed. also, LG Flashtool will show "FAIL"after about 89 seconds. this is normal. Just disconnect then and reboot!

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.

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.

Hi there!
I have some problems with my P920 and I don't really know, what to do. I started with stock Android 2.3.5. I rooted the phone, installed CWM5 and JellyBam. This ROM was extremely laggy/buggy, so I installed CM10.1 (+Bootloader), which ran really smooth. As I wanted to have the 3D capability, I installed the stock ICS ROM, which was extremely laggy, too. Now I downloaded XBSA ICS V8 and installed this kernel. I was happy to get a good performance, but 3D, too. Now the phone still is extremely laggy. I guess, I did one wrong thing, that makes all the ROMs run really bad. Do you have any suggestions?
Second, I would like to get some hints, which 3D-ROM is the fastest in games. I would prefer JB ROMs before ICS, but would also accept missing features, as I e.g. don't need mobile internet connection, tethering, bluetooth.
I hope, you are willing and able to give me one or two advices
Thanks in advance!
OdlG
I installed stock ICS and XBSA a few more times, but i still have those performance issues. Doesn't anyone have a clue?
One thing is certain: If you want 3D capabilities, you'll have to stick to android 4.0.4
About the performance issues, I'm on stock ics rom (v30a) and Acura's last Kernel (subito v2) and everything is really smooth.
Maybe you should try a clean install of stock ics, i mean flashing the v30a or v30b kdz file. That should clean up any errors/bugs that you currently have.
Also, you can try Acura´s kernel. This one that I'm using has one small bug, the conversation volume during calls is a little low, but everything runs really smooth, just perfect. I can even afford to reduce the maximum cpu speed to 900 MHz, without feeling the phone slower.
One other thing, I'm using Atom Launcher (the one used by xbsall's custom roms), and it's also lighter and smoother than the stock lg launcher.
Thanks for the reply
Where can I download the v30b KDZ? I only have a prerooted v30a ZIP. Until now I couldn't use KDZ files as my phone isn't recognised under win8 although I installed all the drivers as mentioned in the XBSA-Noobs-Guide.
Use LG Mobile Support Tool and update to latest v30a rom(EU) or v30b(USA).
After that use OS_Hackings AIO tool and flash ics bootloaders and custom recovery.
After that root and you're done.
There are many tuts on this forum to follow..
Edit:
Use this tool:

If you live in Europe, you should flash the V30A kdz.
Download it from here:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=2
If your country has a v30a kdz, download it. If not, download "Europe Open".
Use V30B only if you live in USA or in other american country.
I downloaded the EU open v30a.kdz (germany has none?! ). I started the FlashTool, which installed the USB driver and downloaded the official v21e.kdz. But my PC always gets a bluescreen when the phone boots into fasttboot mode.
Is there a way to flash my v30A.kdz by hand?

Not necessarily..
I am using v30b in Europe for a long time as you can also see from my signature but yeah its better to use V30a if someone is in Europe and doesnt want to mess with apn settings.

Don't do that, that would flash 21e (gingerbread).
There's somewhere in the forum a offline installer for kdzs that will allow you to flash the v30a (ics).
I don't have the link here, search it in forum.

You guys are amazing! Thanks a lot for your help! I will try all you mentioned and give feedback later
edit: the server doesn't create any files in "WWW". Any suggestions?
I still don't have any files in that folder. Don't you know any solution?

I'll see later when I get to my PC.
I can't help you now.
Edit:
Did you follow this:
" Step 3
Navigate to "C:\shttps" on the hard drive
Copy the CONTENTS of "WWW Folder" into the "C:\shttps\www" directory"?
This means that you go to folder named "WWW Folder" that is located in that rar file that you downloaded and copy the files inside that "WWW Folder" to "C:\shttps\www" directory.

I start the server and looked into the folder named WWW, but it is empty. There are no files, also no hidden ones.

Which folder?
The one from the zip file or the one in C:shttps/?
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
thanks for the reply. of course the folder in C:\shttps\www. there arent any files afterr the server started up successfully
If you can't get it to work, start over.
This time UNINSTALL ALL LG DRIVERS and PAUSE OR EXIT YOUR ANTIVIRUS.
That's very important.
But as I can see your problem is with that www folder..
You'll figure it out eventually.
Cheers.

It finally worked. I tried the Flashing Tool on my Laptop (Win8 x64) and could immediately flash the v28_Large Rom+Baseband. After that I flashed XBSA ICS v8 via Recovery. Everything works fine except one problem:
I got a new SIM-card today (first time mobile Internet for me). I am able to call my friends (1&1 Germany), but I can't get the mobile Internet to work properly. Is this caused by the baseband or by settings? (enabled everything about mobile data/roaming)

make a backup from your phone and reflash it with lg flash tool. But you have to switch the port to 41 in the Modem Device under the device manager

Merhaba! and hey most people tend to fail to flash this stuff correctly and the worst part is losing the imei which needs 'sl-box' to fix which is way unavailable to me.

Try flash by lg flash tool
if you lose you IMEI .....
Restoring IMEI
1.Connect phone by USB
2.Activate USB debug mode
3.Enter 3845#*920# in dialer if that doesn’t work try 3845#*925# or 3845#*720# if device is SU760
4.Select Port Settings -> Select CP USB
5.A new device should appear at let it install
6.Open Tutty and select serial protocol. Click on open
7.Type AT if response is not OK, change port number (it is possible that when typing you don’t see any letters)
8.Type at%imei, it should display a dummy IMEI
9.Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x where x,x,x... is your orginal IMEI number (found under the battery of your phone). It should response IMEI WRITE OK

Happiest Day of My Life!
I just followed the Update method, and succesfully upgraded to ICS without losing anything even the wallpaper didnt change. network fine wifi fine faster boot times and cool boot animation. still testing but slower! though i got used to that with Galaxy S duos. thanks for the rom Master. well i couldnt use the notification center in vertical mode and the ics didnt cured that. well am happy! i can now install every single app i want, yippy!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

soon, am sorry but am kinda busy. i will list every thing i did!
How did I DID IT!
well at first the lg mobile support tool couldnt recognize my phone, may be because i live in 'unknown' country. so i manually downloaded every driver known to be made for this phone and installed them. when i opened the tool again it recognized it and told me i have to update the drivers i did. so i had the latest drivers for the phone. i downloaded the 'offline installer download' link from the xda link i posted earlier and downloaded v30b from the link i got from MasterTobi. i ticked USB Debugging and connected to pc, then i started the vbs script it did all the modifications i needed then i followed the instruction then viola! android upgraded. i was shocked when the phone lit up on 90% but completed with no errors.

Check This
Hi all first i had GB 2.3 prometheus running but apps on my SU760 were not working well probably because prometheus is P920 port.
So i used LG smart flash tool and flashed froyo 2.2 V10 and then upgraded to 2.3.5 GB using LG support tool all is good until now.
Wait !!!!!
-------------
So now i try to upgrade to ICS using LG support tool my phone is detected by the tool but all of a sudden i get a pop up phone not connected properly, so i run LG support tool as SP3 and run as administrator, still no luck !!!
I then extracted V30b KDZ which is ICS 4.0.4 to bin and fls and used LG smart flash tool to flash directly with ICS but the download mode keeps on dropping out hence i cannot flash the SU760 all the wat to 100% with ICS.
I have now been trying to get ICS on my phone for last 48 hours but no luck.
My Question is:-
1) Is it really worth upgrading SU760 to ICS because i had ICS earlier this year and my phone started to crawl and really slow.
2)Is there a way to get ICS on my phone apart from LG support tool and LG smart flasher and offline flashing is not working for me.
3)Even if i do manage to get ICS then is the ICS rom 4.0.4 by xbsall http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963847 ported from experia fast enough on SU760 ?
Thanks in advance,
Suhail
