Hello guys I have finally rooted my LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX P725 phone and here are the steps originally from Russian forum 4pda.ru for LG OPTIMUS L5 working on our beloved OPTIMUS 3D MAX.
Working on LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX P720, LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX P725 AND LG OPTIMUS CUBE SU870 ONLY GINGERBREAD
NOTE : I am not held responsible for bricked devices
Follow the given STEPS CAREFULLY :
OFFLINE Root for LG OPTIMUS 3D MAX
1. Download the archive and unpack it (create a folder on desktop named whatever you like):
Root kit http://www.mediafire.com/?fafrhfiu409zy99
2.Download "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk" attached below and copy to root of your phone (internal storage).
forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1272418&d=1345501542
3. On the phone in the "Options -> Security" enable "Unknown sources"
In the "For Developers" enable "Debug on USB"
4. Install "IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk"
5. Then open the installed "SystemBackupTest" and not closing
Hold down the power button and reboot the device.
6. You might get BOOTLOOP ,so don't PANIC. Just wait at the LG LOGO.
After 3-4 Minutes on LG LOGO, PRESS Power Button.
7. Connect the usb now ( make sure that usb drivers are already installed ).
7. In the folder you've created «O3DM Rooting Kit» run the file «root.bat»,
wait until the script is executed and the phone will reboot.
8.Then on the phone, open the Google Play Store and you will find "SuperSU"
Upgrade "SuperSU", and then open the program asks updates ... Click OK, to
9.Update SU binary ...
10.Now you have a root-law. You can delete an application «SystemBackupTest» ...
Please see attached photos for proof Enjoy...
IT TOOK MORE TIME TO SEARCH AND TEST AND EDIT THIS METHOD THAN THE TIME YOU WILL TAKE TO JUST " HIT THANKS".
So, Don't forget to " HIT THE THANKS "
Sorry if this is a silly question but.. do you know if it works on V10d?
Let me know if you'd like any further information about my phone - I'm desperate to root this thing, I've spent so many hours trying so many methods.

It is working perfectly on v10c nd i think it will work also on v10d.
Its the easiest way.
Nd don't forget to hit thanx after rooting.

It worked!!
You, sir, are a legend.
Thanx for your words.
Don't forget to click thanx.

A recovery nd then a rom

I clicked the Thanks button before even writing
Yep a new ROM would be awesome. I have Bootmanager installed but it's not recognising the device. I had an HTC Desire HD before this, but I rooted that about 2 years ago - maybe I'm forgetting some step like ClockWorkRecovery?
I'll be watching this thread with great interest
Yes after rooting next step is a recovery.
No CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY yet.
So i have asked one of my friend to make it for me.
Hope to get it working.
Then its easy to make a custom rom.
U can also be updated at my facebook page.

Darn.. I tried clockwork recovery backup phone ROM.. and now I think I've bricked it. Stuck at the LG screen. I should have just been patient and happy with the Root access Looking for ways to unbrick it.
For that u can download LG SUPPORT TOOL from the official site by searching your phone.
After installing.
Install it.
Run it and go to tools and recovery phone.
Add your imei nd click check.
Den u can recover your phone through it

Oh wow, lol I was about to post about how I solved it. The scary thing was that I couldn't get into recovery mode via the normal method of holding Vol up & Power. So I looked all over, and eventually tried just powering it on by only holding the Vol up button while having the USB cable already inserted. For some reason, that allowed it to enter recovery mode. I'd also noticed that if I tried just booting the phone, each time in my Device Manager it would show the Comm port for a split second before becoming inactive again.
And yeah, once I could see it in S/W Upgrade, I knew I had a window in, and did exactly what you'd said. I just really wanted to stress how important it is to be able to get into the Recovery Mode, in case anyone else gets this frightening situation. I truly thought I'd locked myself out forever. Back to stock, I'll now confidently re-apply your excellent method of obtaining root. ...and wait patiently this time for how to do anything more nifty such as get BootManager working
I have tried to root the phone with the given instruction above..and it WORKS!!!!
Now recovery done!
Guyz great newz for you all..
I and my friend RON GOKHLE had finally made a fully working recovery for our lovely optimus 3d max p725.
I am uploading and creating a thread!!!
Will b back to you ASAP.
cheers!!!
NICE!
You and Ron Gokhle deserve a huge thanks for that bro. Keep up the incredible work guys!

hello guy's
i made a custom rom for galaxy pro
deodxed and rooted & init.d support for GB 2.3.6
and we will use galaxy mini cwm 5.0.2.6 (it's work 100%)
and also custom boot.img
How to use cwm?
use odin to flash cwm recovery and boot.img
as one package and don't forget to use BENNETT_v1.0_2.ops
we can't use cwm by volume or home button
Q=UP : T=DOWN : Z=ENTER : POWER=BACK
AND YOU CAN MAKE BACKUP AND RESTORE
to flash the custom rom you have to mount system and cache and data
after flash the rom you have to make wipe data /reset and wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache
Download boot.img

1st que.
From where you got the idea to install clockwork mode of MICROMAX mobile into out galaxy pro??
There is 1st rule of flashing that roms,firmwares,recoveries made for some different phone should not be flashed into some different phone you are using.
So remember that from now on.
Now,
Your current problem.
You are sayin that is does not even start right?
If you connect it to charger, does it show battery logo on screen?
Like the logo we see when phone is switched off & we put it in charging?

Well, m inclined to think that ur device is bricked...
If odin cant flash the stock firmware, then i think there is very less you can do.
Is your warranty still available?
I mean is your galaxy pro still under 1 year of purchase?
If so, then you can immediatly rush to samsung customer service centre for best solution.
If you want to try something by yourself,
Then there is 1 method.
I read about it long long ago.
So not sure of it.
It was called something like "usg jig" or "jtag"..not sure though..u can google it if you want to search more on it..
Bt my advice would be to go to customer care if it is in 1 yr of purchase..
sent from my samsung galaxy pro GT-B7510 using xda premium
omg.....nothing else is possible?
well im out of warrenty..and the customer care people say they have to replace the whole motherboard whch costs to 3500Rs..
so i gave up...i tried to explain them it was a software issue but they dont understand....
and i thought the jtag was to get into download mode...where can i get that in india??

Nice, me too..
Well, 2 of my frends had their phone bricked..but both were in warranty..so they got device replacement/mother-board replacement for free..
N i knw its very hard to find jtag in india..
N also, i agree that though flashing is software issue, customer care ppl nly do mother-board replacement nly..
N somehow that works..
BTW, what exact error you get when you try to flash with odin?
N what are you trying to flash with odin now? Stock firmware right?
Which one?

Hello guys, I hope you can help me over here. I know that there is a lot of chance that what I am about to ask, would be around in the forum, but I need to ask anyway.
First of all I am a Sasumg device's user, so i don't know much of the LG devices as i do about the Samsung devices. The point is that a friend of mine has a LG OPTIMUS 3D (P920H) and we are having sometroubles while trying to install CW 10 in the phone.
First we managed to install CM 10 and it booted, but it had no signal at all, only WI-FI. After we tried to downgrade the phone by restoring the backed up rom that we made before installing CM 10, but the phone got stuck at the LG logo.
Yeah, yeah, I know that there is a lot of information in tghe forum, but I am not looking for you guys to tell me how to fix this problem, I jut need some kind of information about the files and all that stuff, for example, I have readed about the baseband, but I really don't understand how to flash it, and that KDZ files and all that stuff. Samsung is much simple in that way, ODIN, put the file in the correct place and that's all, I understand that it must be something like that for LG, but I need some help about the files, or you can point me to the correct threat to downgrade the phone or to flash the baseband for the P920H.
Thanks a lot guys.
OK bro u can either flash kdz which is a bin and fls file combined together using LG kdz flasher .....or u can flash bin and fls files each alone
Using LG flash tool .
Fls is the basband
Bin is the rom
Download mode is ;;: take out the battery and hold the volume up and then insert the cable while holding volume up and then 5 second later insert the battery and 3 seconds release volume up this is called download mode.

3- connect it with PC and keep holding ...
4- Now your phone is connected and you are still holding ... inseart the battery and keep holding for ~3 seconds . Now you should see some korean words and two arrows like the sync symbol .

Okay bro! I will test it again with this guide.
I don't understand this Part:
"P920 users should run LG FlashTool and load BOOTV21E_AP.bin (ONLY THE AP.BIN FILE) and keep it open but NOT ready for flashing."
What I have to do exactly? I open the tool, load the dll file, and than select the BOOTV21E_AP then click OK? Or load it only?

Hi there,
I have the same problem. I decided to upgrade my phone\s firmware to Ice cream sandwitch, but somehow I managed to destroy the software of the phone. Now it only turns on and shows lg logo. that\s it. no more.
I tried to follow the things this fellow has written but somewhere something is missing and I can\t follow.
If you manage to fix your phone please tell me to fix my phone too. And if I find a way I promise to tell you.
Truly yours,

Today I rooted my O3D Max and when I was installing Clockworkmod Recovery, it prompted me to choose between Optimus 2x and 3D, then I touched the 3D thinking it was the right one, but when it rebooted, got stuck in LG logo screen at the start.
It only turns off when I remove the battery, or press 3d button + lower volume + power button, if a put the battery back, in 3 seconds it starts, so I can't access the CWM to wipe data.
Is there any solution to this?
Welcome to our forum I hope you will find what you need .
You (O3D max user(s)) really need help ,, every time the same problem because of phone name (I'm thinking to create a guide for O3D max users , I hope)
Your problem is easy , what you need :-
KDZ Flash tool (sorry I forget the name)
KDZ file for O3D max
You should enter download mode (emergency mode) but I don't know how because I do not have 3D max . And then connect to PC and flash the KDZ .
I didn't give details because this is different from phone to another , but in general this is the method to solve your problem .

Yeah, first, thank u for the quick help, and I was looking for some O3D Max stuff in XDA, but it's mixed with the O3D stuff, some posts are for P720h like the one I followed to root this phone, it worked, but I couldn't find anything about these "unbricking tools" to O3D Max, only for O3D.
I owned a P970h and already done this before, but this time I couldn't find these files.
Now the phone doesn't turn on anymore , so I'll keep searching.
Thnks.
I found this and I'll try it, then post here the results.
