switched back, still no response..:/

I posted a thread with the same issue a few weeks back.
No, it's not the end of your phone. You'll need xp/7 to repair the phone (since I'm on linux I can't currently repair it).
Use the LG tool, remove battery and insert it back, plug in usb and hold pwr+volup(or down) can't remember which one. Your PC will find a OMAP4430 device.
There is a few threads how you can repair your phone using emergency mode in the LG tool, you'll need to enter your IMEI etc.. Look in the Development section and look for the right thread.

I've tried that resolution, but t dont works, omap4430 blinking in device manager, cant use lg flash tool

Did you really press the right volume button? I've had that blinking-problem,too, until I pressed the other volume button instead.
And there's no need holding the power-button for doing this.

If I remember correctly, you have to be quick to install the driver when connecting the phone to your computer.

Please, get in your correct device section.

This issue was thoroughly discussed at another thread, and the only way users found to solve it was to deliver it to LG for a new board.
The sd format under CM7 issue, I mean.

I had this happen to me all the I apparently pressed reboot into bootloader by accident and my phone turned off and never turned back on. I was also running cyanogen mod. I tried everything but nothing worked it didn't even turn on so I just went to att and they sent me a new phone.

I will send it to lg to fix then, thanks

I dont think it is possible to brick the optimus 3d. The issue of not being able to reflash may be due to driver conflicts/combo of windows 7 etc.
Run device manager. Expand the ports and usb serial bus controllers
Take out battery of optimus 3d
hold down volume up and while holding up, insert cable.
There should be the omap 4430 popping up for a few seconds
Also during this process, the other usb drivers for the phone should be activated and displayed if they were previously installed. If not, then it should start searching for the drivers and update.
Insert battery
If there are issues with drivers updating, try another pc and install the lg drivers from scratch using windows xp.
Its not required to install the omap 4430 driver to flash a rom
You can then use the official lg recovery tool, enter your imei and it will download and install the stock rom
There are other methods on flashing using kdz files (a good tutorial is available somewhere in this forum) you would need to block the lg updater from checking however

My O3D not recognized, please help me.

Hy!
Thank for look this thread.
I bricked my phone yesterday, so if I push the power button I get black screen.
If i connect to my pc it says : omap 4430 for 2 second , after disappear from device manager.
And my pc not recognize as LGE CDMA modem. (I installed lg modem drivers, but nothing)
Only omap 4430 for 2 second.
What can I do to solve this problem?
Im so sad.

Believe me,you have to send it to LG..
Same situation with my phone.

I haven't got a warranty. :=(
This is a very big problem.
I brang it to a mobile service , so I wait for them answer.
I hope that they can repair it.

did u tried to use LG Mobile Support Tool and installed the USB Drivers?
how about this.. .
• Hold the Home and Volume Down button
• Press and hold the Power button until the device turns on when LG Logo appears release the button and follow the on-screen instructions .. .
let me know if this will solve your problem.. .

Yes, I tried these. Only black screen.
Thank for your message, but it not solve my problem.

im sorry man!
im sorry to hear that!
did you tried the other methods of unbricking your phone posted in our O3D Page?

I have tried with resistors and w/out them.
Both didn't work.

this is an extract from the resurrection guide. See if this helps.
If you plug your Phone on PC without battery, OMAP4430 device appeared for seconds and then disappeared in your Windows Device Manager
(check arsen4oo photo guide in post #3)
On windows 7 sometimes OMAP4430 flashes too fast so you cant install driver.
There is a a windows feature that will help you install the driver easier.
To view devices that were once installed but are no longer attached to the computer, open a Command Prompt window using the Run As Administrator option and enter the command:
SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
Then, from the same command prompt, type devmgmt.msc to open Device Manager. Choose View, Show Hidden Devices. The new instance of Device Manager will show “ghosted” entries for devices that were once present. This technique is especially useful for fixing problems caused by leftover drivers after replacing a network card or video card—you can easily delete the ghosted device or update the OMAP4430 driver.
You are lucky. Mine doesnt even show the OMAP4430 in device manager.

Mine did this after I installed the ICS update. OMAP4430 flickering in Device Manager. Watch your phone while holding power+vol_up and after about 3 seconds you will see recycling arrows and a bunch of Korean characters. Let go of the buttons as soon as you see it. Then my LG USB serial port showed up and I was able to flash. It seems that getting into download mode changes with each major sw upgrade...

Just one question...
Why are you guys trying omapboot download mode if you just want to flash ICS?
If you want to flash ICS you dont need omapboot just put phone in normal download mode...and for normal download mode you dont need the omap driver :/
Don't do unecessesary steps you are just making your life harder...omapboot download mode is only for bricked phones that dont turn on at all and have no normal download mode...

Mine would boot but couldn't flash correct baseband until I used the guide and the drivers as it wouldn't go into download mode so to me it was necessary IMO may not of been but I didn't know another way and it worked
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app

Yeah wayno i am not saying you didnt have a problem but i will tell you from my experience so far that people asked me for teamviewer sessions because they "tried everything" and didn't work but at the first 10 sessions i said ok some where missing drivers others didn't know the key combination etc etc..
When i reached the 20 teamviewer sessions it was still the same thing..old drivers, not following procedure etc etc..
At 30 teamviewer sessions the same...
40, 50 until i decided not to have any other teamviewer session because everybody said they tried everything but didnt work but "magically" with teamviewer everything worked (apart from 1 p920 that really had a hardware problem, i fixed that too with a different method).
The bad thing is that people posted in every thread in order to find a solution and actually the solution was to follow the guide (not the omapboot unbrick guide :/, the lg flashtool guide) and that made it difficult for the rest of the users, i had lg flashtool questions in rom thread, in bricks thread, in basebands thread but the right thread to ask actually was the LG Flashtool thread and if they asked there it would be easier for them to get an answer and also for the rest of the users to read..
I know this ICS is a great thing and everybody wants to try it from novice to experienced users but if we don't get organised it just gets out of hand :/ and saying the same thing in every thread is just annoying.
I know the lg flashtool guide is old but i cant make a guide for everything and reading a few pages especially in the end i have also posted there some info.

I totally understand your frustration and it did make it hard my problem was I overlooked a few things but when I got pointed in the right direction a few times lol I eventually found my way. And yes the clutter did make it hard for those who were following the rules and needed help couldn't get it cause there was just too much for the few people who understand it all. But now I got it and am trying to talk my wife into letting me do her phone lol after I failed. BTW awesome job bringing this old thing back to the forums pure genius.

hi have been trying to update to 4.0 via flash tool but ive tried everything and cannot get it to work......ive been trying for 3 days and ive pretty much had enough of trying on my own so i though id would ask for help.
ok firstly i am on gb 2.3 im running custom cm7 no probs but i wana take the next step 4.0 so....i have all lg flash tool etc and fast load etc all nessacary files needed but for some reason my phone wont connet and flash its doing my head in. i have it into download mode, battery out etc but after that nothing i cannot progress further its like the program wont connect/register the phone.
im running win7 i even looked into other post and thought this maybe the problem but i have already installed these when gone into download mode as said here If you plug your Phone on PC without battery, OMAP4430 device appeared for seconds and then disappeared in your Windows Device Manager

HI,
Please uninstall all LG drivers, and start again. If you are using WIN7, run it with WINXP SP3 compatibility mode.
Getting the Software upgrade screen is tricky, the timing needs ti be just right for the screen to stay, else it blinks and the OMAPP difficulty starts.
You need to listed to the connect disconnect sounds carefully.
Its not difficult, just that the timing needs to be right for the battery to be inserted.
all the best

Make sure all the drivers from the guide are installed. (including omap driver)
Load the DLL and the rom to lg flashtool.
Listen to the port with LG flashtool's port settings. (One is enough , The icon with a printer cable that's the port settings)
Take the battery out but be ready to plug it back in.
connect the usb cable.
Hold volume up
You're gonna hear sounds from windows in this order ;
1.Connected
2. Disconnected
3. Connected (Again , when you hear this plug the battery back in)
If you did it right then you're now in download mode.
Go to the device manager , find the LG device (I don't remember the name , but there is only one so you'll see it.) and go to properties , advanced and port settings.
Change the port to com41.
Flashtool should take over and start.
For extra guidance , see xbsall's thread ;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836

To enter download mode .
Your phone in your hands without anything :-
1- Pull out battery .
2- hold vol+ and keep holding .
3- Connect your phone and you are still holding....
4- Now the phone is connected and you are holding vol+ . Insert battery and keep holding for about 3 seconds . Now the phone in download mode (there are some korean words on the screen) .
That's all
Good Luck

Because you're flashing the baseband before you flash the ROM. Change the sequence , ROM first then baseband. (Just remove the baseband you added on the flash tool ".fls file" then add it again it's gonna be flashed after the ROM )
