The whole idea of this is to fix people's phone's of who'm flashed the SU760 ICS leak but this will be useful to us in the future incase ICS drop's with a major bug or something, then atleast we will then have an option of getting back to Gingerbread. I've attached a picture to the end of the post so you can recognise when the bootloader & other vital partition's being written to, the second image shows no bootloader flash(as what occurs in all p920 firmwares i've flashed).
For SU760 Users
For SU760 users there is a way already discovered on another forum. By flashing V10G they have been able to go back to Froyo/Gingerbread Roms. I've tryed this on my P920 and gets me to recovery but I am unable to boot into Android. The .bin files are attached at he bottom of the post. If you then have imei problems see this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1734330 then you should be back on gingerbread. This is completely untested by me and may bork your phone so you've been warned.
For P920 Users
I have yet to come across a firmware that unbricks or flashes any bootloaders or partition tables, so I have made one for you guys.
So now i've made our own recovery .bin by injecting GPT1 & modified header into an image, it has been confirmed that this method works but I cannot guarantee this will work as intended for you.
Instructions
-Flash The Modified .Bin Or 10G For SU760 User's Using LGFlashTool.
-Then Flash Any Other Froyo/Gingerbread KDZ Or .Bin Immediately Afterwards.
-Boot Up In Recovery & Do A Full Factory Reset.
-Then In Theory You Should Have Reverted Back To Previous OS.
Information
This is confirmed working on the P920 model! This is for people who have either attempted to flash the SU760 ICS leak, want to revert back to gingerbread or don't care about flashing experimental stuff.

Samno i think you should start with HK V10A.
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AHKGML/V10a_00/V10A_00.kdz
I remember that i bought my O3D with v10B i had another update (i think August was v10D ) and after that v10K ..
Cant find a link but i think V18A was GB Beta LGP920AT-00-V18a-AMA-XXX-OCT-28-2011 maybe someone might have it backed up

Lots of P920 kdz's here:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=2
i think what samno is trying to do is find someone who has come across a firmware which can flash back to the original bootloader. this saves him having to download 40 odd different firmware, each ranging around 340mb~400mb, to find if there is. this saves him time and he doesnt have to dl 15.2 gb of each and every firmware.
PLUS it could help us in general ,in the near future if lg pulls a dodgy lol
Try to patch froyo firmware with CWM then you can see partitions with adb in CWM. And try to change bootloader or other partitions with stock one with dd command in adb.

Tryed that tool berni but it could'nt find the offsets so i'll have to do it manually. Thanks iodak good idea. rezzsha that's exactly what im trying to do mate.
Samno, i'm not sure where is boot loader, is it on boot partition or on some flash memory only for boot and bb, it sounds to easy to install boot with dd. If you need backup of some partition with dd i can attach it here, installed your kernel few times with dd. Can you reach mode where you can use adb? Maybe only need to repartition flash because of different p table in ics?
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
It can be done with dd i restored partitons on my phone with it in CWM adb is working in cwm. Bootlader is mountblock1, 2 is nv1, 3 is nv2.... Also if you can get to cwm you can use parted to repartition. there is guide on general section. I didn't try to restore bootloader but it is working with other partitions. Sorry for bad english.

flash your p920 with v10g for su760, if successful upgrade it to v21e gingerbread for p920. i think it should work.
Loaders
Hi guys could someone do a copy of there bootloaders and upload here please. I think they are mmcblk0p1 & mmcblk0p4. but could someone go through 1 to 4 just in case.
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p1.backup bs 4096
At least we will have a copy of the loaders here just incase.
In mmcblk0p3 there is emai and some other data, if you need it i can send you on pm. Others are attached.
mmcblk0p3 is almost all zero, it has imei, serial and baseband version (ascii readable) on 2 or 3 different places, and maybe 20-30 other characters on random places, everything else is zero. Compare with your, maybe you just need to enter serial and emai on right places.
here is mmcblk0p1-0p4 in one zip plus descrription

But nv3 has to be changed in hex editor?
I don't know much about that I just copied it wit dd if to my sdcard and than put it on the pc to zip it
mmcblk0p3 stores the phone's unique info such as imei, wifi mac address, bluetooth mac address and other unique data. As far as I know this partition is not written even during firmware upgrades, so it's only written once at the factory then left untouched, and probably for good reason too. If we study it and figure out where important data is stored, we can restore IMEI and the like should something really bad happen to someone's phone.

It is written during software update, there is info about software version inside. I don't know how it works, does it only change software version or it is written from beginning during software update (bb update I think).

Yes that is true. I did try to restore IMEI that way but it is not posible. Partition is rewritten on firmware flash. IMEI and mac addreses are writen in CP chip eeprom. You can get to it with hyper terminal.

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

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,

Bump to this thread. Could someone help me...? My /pds folder is empty (at least that's what CM File Manager says), I have no backup, and my IMEI appears as "Unknown"...
I got the same problem. No solution yet :S

Probably a long shot.

Why fastboot? What's the difference between it and CWM?
I flashed stock radios today. No luck. Last thing to do is flashing stock, because I've seriously tried everything...
Is there a way to manually input the IMEI in the /pds folder?
Nope. I've already flashed about every rom, factory reset it, etcetera. Even struggled around with hex editors and stuff but the problem is that it's forbidden to 'change' imei so it's kinda hard.
Some dev has to look for a opportunity to get the imei from fastboot (mine shows up there) back to the pds folder or somewhere else..

OK, I downloaded a stock ROM from here, and I followed the instructions shown in this post. I can't believe the motherloving crap worked. I HAVE MY IMEI BACK MOTHERLOVERS!!!!
I HAVE IT BACK!
I just want to tell you guys I was able to isolate the cause of the problem. Maybe someone could find it useful.
The whole problem was because of the kernel I was flashing (this one). There are two versions of that kernel for AOSP ROMs: a standard one and an ANYKERNEL one. Flashing the first one made my IMEI 'unknown'. Flashing the ANYKERNEL one solved the issue. The ROM I was flashing the kernel in was Gummy.
Really strange stuff since it had never happened to me before...

I just want to tell you guys I was able to isolate the cause of the problem. Maybe someone could find it useful.
The whole problem was because of the kernel I was flashing (this one). There are two versions of that kernel for AOSP ROMs: a standard one and an ANYKERNEL one. Flashing the first one made my IMEI 'unknown'. Flashing the ANYKERNEL one solved the issue. The ROM I was flashing the kernel in was Gummy.

Its not an issue as I see it. I have made anykernel zips because of this purpose only, some ROMs use different type of ramdisks which cause other developers to not support them at first place. I made anykernel zip for such ROMs so that my kernel can be used on any ROM without any issues. I hope it answers your question.
I haven't flashed either of these so I don't promise that they work. They ought to though.
I suggest you follow the instructions in the original root post under Commands to dump system.img and dump an image from your working phone. Name it something you'll remember and keep it on your internal storage. If something goes wrong from flashing the rooted image you can hopefully recover by changing the filename in the flash command to your original image. Don't run a factory reset or the original image will be deleted.
You'll want to rename the image file you extract from the RAR file. I named them with detail so I wouldn't get them confused.
Good luck!
A user reported that the H81010b image bootlooped their phone. Use at your own risk. You can flash the H810PR KDZ to recover but there's no going back to AT&T stock then. Keep a good copy of your original system.img on internal memory to recover and don't factory reset!
ATT_H81010b_Rooted.system.rar
ATT_H81010e_Rooted.system.rar
Why'd I use RAR? Why not? I'm one of those weirdos that paid for it. A site license even!
Here's my H810 repository on Androidfilehost if you're looking for other H810 files.
It says the img is not mountable, is it safe?
Edit: For 10e, yes it works.
thanks
and winrar 5 is awesome, love it. I've always been a fan of winrar

Here's a way to open the img file in Windows, but it's much easier to make an Ubuntu boot flash drive and mount it in Linux.
@phineous, it seems the 10e file works so I will give it a try tomorrow morning.
For my personal knowledge of the whole process, how did you determine the dd command parameters (block size, count, skip, etc) for the system.img dump command as well as the flashing command that fit the 10e software version? Are all 810 software versions (10e, 10b, 10g, etc) all the same command parameters of is there a way to determine the correct parameters to enter. Regardless of if all 810 versions are the same parameters, I'm sure there is a process to figure out the right things to enter into the dd command?
Thanks!

@autoprime posted the commands to flash the different versions in the original root thread. All the AT&T H810 versions use the same command to flash.
The variables for the flash command are determined based on the location of the partition you want to overwrite in the partition table on the phone. There's a little discussion about it in the original root thread, but I'm sure it's discussed more in depth in rooting threads for earlier phones and threads about Android rooting in general.

Got it, thanks @phineous. I can follow directions like these pretty easily (it is all indeed low effort) but I like to try and understand the process behind the commands. So the seek/count/block size parameters, whether dumping a system.img or flashing a stock or rooted system.img are all the same for each command and for each software version across the H810? In this case they are:
bs=8192
seek=65536
count=579584
I'll have to dig a little more to learn how they figured out the proper parameters for each model.
Thanks again

It's the same for the AT&T H810s. The Claro H810pr that some us used after we killed our AT&T phones is different.
Look for posts about android partitions. @rightonred has a couple of posts where they show the partition table from our phones.
Here's the man(ual) page for dd where the commands (BS,SEEK,COUNT) are documented.

Have a question for OP, this is just came into my head but flashing this img into 810pr fw will break the system itself as the seek and count partition are totally different..or what if we used code seek and count from PR??

That could work, but I don't know much about how the system checks itself and the bootloader. I think it would probably end up with the security error boot screen.

I just looked into the H810PR 10A files and it seems it's about equal to the AT&T H810 10G (newest ATT OTA). The H810PR 10A and the H810 10G (and I think 10E as well) have updated bootloaders with the "1" version... which was updated from the initial version out of box.. i think it was 10A (or 10b/10c/d.. not e/f).
So... obviously for people who were "bricked" (stuck in download mode) you should use this KDZ as that's about you're only hope at this point. KDZ will upgrade bootloader and you will be set at "1".. never to be at "0" again. 0 vs 1 doesnt mean anything yet... so it may not matter. But any possible bootloader exploit that may happen in the future that somehow only works on v0 bootloaders... you'll be out of luck. But lets hope that isn't the case. And who knows if there will even be an unofficial unlock.
For those who ARENT stuck in download mode but don't care about being on an updated "1" bootloader.. feel free to flash H810PR KDZ all you want.
For those who are on the original AT&T sw (10a/b/c/d) with a "0" bootloader who want root and wanna stay at "0"... someone with your 10a/b/c/d sw will need to dump and upload that system.img and then someone will have to root it.. then upload that img... then H810 10a/b/c/d users will have a safe root method that won't cause a security error and also won't update the bootloader. And maybe it'd be safe for now to keep the pre-rooted system.img (the one that doesnt yet exist as of the moment i am typing this) on your internal storage so if anything were to happen you could reflash system.. never needing an H810 KDZ/TOT (as long as you don't mess with other partitions).

@autoprime
I forgot about that post. It wouldn't work then. There was a version # in the build.prop that made me think H810PR had an older bootloader.
How do we determine/confirm if a software version bootloader count is at 0 or 1? I thought 10e was at 0 still but maybe not? Hopefully it is...

Have we confirmed this works with 1010e? I just got the phone and that is the version installed and I want me some root
Edit, nvm it worked perfectly, thanks!
Rooted my at&t 10e with your image. Work great. Thanks.

Has anyone rooted their H81010b with this file?
---------- Post added at 09:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 AM ----------
How can this work with the original root post, that file is 4GB. This one is only 1.6GB. Just interested to know. It's a little scary when someone posts:
"I haven't flashed either of these so I don't promise that they work. They ought to though." Where did they come from? Did you make them, or someone else who tested them? I would really like to try the H81010b but need a little verification.

You must extracted zip/rar to image..than copy to internal memory.
have you tried the H810 10b yet. I tried it on my phone and i keep getting a bootloop......
I really want my 4g back

I don't think anyone has tested it yet.
Are you flashing it on an AT&T H810 with 10b or on the H810PR? It won't work on the H810PR.
If my 10b image really is broken I'll take it down.
Since none of the updates have prevented root, I doubt LG has made security changes to the bootloader. It's probably safe to upgrade to a new version. They're having a hard enough time making the phone work. I hope they're not wasting time patching, especially when we haven't even found a bootloader unlock. I could be wrong though.
Hi,
I tested the chinese rom yesterday on my 6045Y and it resulted in a loss of GSM signal, even after rsstoring the phone with mobile Q upgrade software.
I would need someone's help here.
Can people use @DallasCZ backup-all.bat script and extract the original partitions of their phone to share with me?
I need at least to try to get the modem to it's original state.
Again, it's for 6045Y.
Thanks all for your help.

Any chance the radio to be turned off ? Dial *#*#4636#*#* and look at the phone info. Almost at the end of the page there is a button turn radio off/on. There is also an option to select the radio band under the three dots menu from there.

Already checked that. Radio is on and bands are well selected.
I found a thread for similar issue when googling the first line of my logcat. It's on XDA forum as well, CM12.1 development for the oneplus one. They lost connection as well.

so found any solution for the problem ?
i made it dozen times on google nexus s and zte v9180 it was allways about to flash the radio file (modem, or NON-HLOS.img) , but now we heve to flash the NON-HLOS.img but since w edont have it there is maybe only way to push the modem file trough adb command (the reverse way i extracted it). But since we dont know what files are needed also it can work or not.
There were some guys from htcmania.com from spain I think. They made one build of 5.0.2 for 6045Y .. they should have the right modem files (if they have it in the rom). but unfotunatelly they removed the links because of some bugs (not modem related). There is a thread in development section. Contact the OP and ask for the link to the rom.

Just an idea ... the updater script from the ported rom resets the modemst1 and modemst2 partitions. Try to reset them by the same way (prepare an updater-script for this) after flashing the backup of the modem.img from @DallasCZ. Also reflash the fsg partition ... ask @DallasCZ to make backup of it ... the current baseband version is definitely stored there, and somehow controls the modem ... and let's hope that will boot afterwards ...
@petrov.0:
You suggest not flashing the rom?
I don't know anything about development. I'm just a Linux user who learned to read before asking... So I can't do any updater-script.
I tried to flash the rom with "partial" success. Something has been flashed, but it was super fast. No specific thing shown in verbose mode in TWRP.
Just a warning before flashing:
E:Invalid block device on `/sdcard ext4 [][][]flags=display="Internal SD" ; symlink
', 'flags=display="Internal SD" ; symlink' , 27
Then regular flash. But on the french forum where I found the link, all the comments were... first boot super long as it has to install things, etc...
What am I missing here?

Which ROM the Andre Dev ? Flash whatever you want its a trial and error process already ... At least the Mobile Upgrade Q can recover the phone now ... or at least for now ... I'm also a Linux user ... read the content of these partitions (or at least the human readable part). You have the necessary tools to do this from your Linux box.

This message is there from the boot of the recovery. The reason for the "super fast flash" is somewhere else. Check the recovery.log under /tmp/

OK, I'll try to reflash but I just extracted the rom and looked the updater-script. It just udpate files in /system and flashes boot.img.
Nothing about modem or anything else.

That updater script only does system and boot...they've already cleaned it similar to how I did. I can give you a copy of the USA modem if you want to try that one...it's the largest of all of them so far. I would not have installed the arde rom...they pulled it due to issues.
Here's the 6045i usa modem. You will have to unzip it first before flashing via fastboot.

Yep...after unzipping...and I think my image is just called "modem" after you unzip it so it'll be fastboot -i 0x1bbb flash modem modem which is gonna look weird.
@franq36 (the Arde rom developer) is willg to help me and send all partitions if needed.
He posted me a 64Mo 6045Y modem file. I'll try to flash it first. By the way, he told me that modem = NON-HLOS. Is that correct or are they different files?
Thanks all.
Edit: Now, using again Mobile Upgrade Q to get back to a clean situation as the short flash of Arde rom lead to FC's for various apps.
Spanish modem 64Mo img flashed. No success getting signal back.
I'll have to flash partition by partition....
Is it still worth flashing your Modem @famewolf?

So... I think I'll try it a bit later.
If we go step by step, with what I did already:
- Restored the phone /system and boot.img with my backup through TWRP ==> Everything here should be back to normal
- Restored several times with Mobile Upgrade Q ==> Back to an "even more" normal state
- Flashed a spanish modem image 64Mo big ==> This is the largest modem found.
After all of this, I still have no signal back. I'll try to focus on other things changed by the updater-script from the Chinese rom and restore impacted partitions.
If still fails, then I'll try the US modem.
