Hi,
I have a problem. After 3 months of using my p920 i started having a problem when connecting to the pc via usb it would alwasy try to install drivers but never connect and then ai checked device manager and saw that the phone is flashing (recognized/ unrecognized). i need to repair it but first i need to get back stock recovery(CWM at the moment) and unroot the phone to get gurantee support. I was told that its a faulty system chip and they would fix it, but for the guarantee to work i need to get the things i mentioned before done. I have solution for the unroot but for the recovery i need a lg 920 stock-recovery.img file to flash the recovery.
can anyone help me get it or do you have any other solution?

lets continue
I know about that tool and i would use it under normal conditions but the problem is I can not connect the phone to the Computer. everything must be done from my phone without connecting to a pc that is why i have found an app which can flash a recovery if its in a .img file and that is what i need to get the stock recovery back. i need a .img file containing the stock recovery to flash it from my sd card not using a pc.
i hope i made my problem clearer.
P.S. i have tried to install cm7 and others with cwm, but the problem remains that i can not connect to pc. i cant update OTA or connect to pc because it is not possible.

I have tried to look through the numerous threads but still dont seem to beable to find the answer to my question, I bought a x10 mini pro from someone and it has cyanogenmod 7 v005 on it but i want to revert it back to stock.As i bought this with cyanogenmod already on it i dont have the stock rom. I have checked and it does have xrecovery installed so can i just find a stock rom and install it using xrecovery or do i need another custom rom. If anyone can point me to the right thread (i know there prob is one and ive missed it) or to the stock rom? It would be greatly appreciated. TIA.
anyone able to help??
so am i stuck on this custom rom?
if you find a stock rom that is in a format that the recovery mode can use, yes.
if not you will probably have to use a flash program like odin and flash the stock rom that way.
argggh i got impatient waiting for a response and read elsewhere using pc companion to restore would work and now stuck in SE logo loop, is it now bricked? or is there a solution ???

Sure thing, always happy to help .
If you still have download mode or something similar it is not fully bricked.
On the sgs you can even make a custom usb plug to get it into flash mode when your download mode is broken, it just takes more expertise to get it working again the more you brick it .
**SOLVED**
I did a repair in PC Companion, and that gave me stock ROM - but I didn't get the correct hardwarekeyboard...
And I lost Root I guess, so I can't replace/change the keyprint.xml file.
xRecovery seems to be gone, but what about JIT(what is that?)?
I want to be all stock due to warranty.
Oh, and how should I format my sd card?! I have an ext3 and a fat32 partition now, to support apps2sd, but dont want that. should i just format whole card to fat32?
Not sure about the SD card. However I would first backup any data/files on the SD card before trying anything.
Regarding JIT, it basically boots the performance of your phone, its related to Android's software compiler.
I think Android versions 2.2 & above already have JIT enabled, however to have this on version 2.1 you may need to root the device.

Hello,
Recently, i have installed CM7 on my LG P925g and all work perfectly.
But i changed my phone for Samsung Galaxy S2 and i give my old phone for my girlfriend. She doesn't like CM7 and i though it will be more easier for her to get back the Stock rom than CM7.
I did a lot research on the web about this and i can't find anything good.
I find some threads...but with dead links.
Do someone can send me a LG P925g Stock rom that i can flash with CWM with a zip. ?
Or a Backup that i can use with CWM ( zip file )
I hope you could help me please...!!

If i remember correctly you can download and install the lg mobile support tool (http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGP925G scroll down a bit) write down your imei, (settings>about), then pop out the battery hold volume up and plug the usb cable in, aka download mode, the mobile support tool if you have it running and on the screen will try to look at it don't worry about that, Click on the customer support tab, the bottom item recovery phone, this is where your imei comes in, from there type in the IMEI and check, it should find the stock 20c firmware and from there it may need a few more clicks but you'll restore to stock 20c no custom recovery/root, but completely stock 20c.
Hope it helps, worked for me last time i screwed up lol
I justed registered to say thx!
Same problem here, screwed up and didnt know how to establish a working data connection with the pc..
the hint with the download mode really helped a lot, I didnt know that you had do pop out the battery, hold the volume up button and plug in the usb cable..
You can install any custom rom so there are many ROMs which are very stable and it's like the official rom too much not like the CM7 .. but you MUST do a backup before flash any CWM .zip so how cloud you install CM7 with out do a backup ??

I want some help. My question is, what is download mode? what is the difference between OMAPBOOT DOWNLOAD MODE and NORMAL DOWNLOAD MODE, and how do we get there.
Also, I am from India, so I have to flash the ICS .bin file from XBSA404.rar and the .fls file from a baseband that works with ICS in India. Is this correct?
The reason for my asking is that I tried ICS XBSA404.rar for P920 on my P920, there was no network, so I got back to GB, but I lost IMEI. Since then I have been trying restore IMEI to no avail.
Now my PC got conked off, so I will install XP and try again (I was on WIN7).
I don't want to take any risks, hence these queries, even though I know that these are rudimentary questions.
These questions are open to every one, so anyone who can help me understand, I will be grateful.

No u flash both Fls and bin from xbsa Rom but your baseband should be working just check out the basebands thread made by xbsall

This is the tutorial you musto follow:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836
When choosing KDZ file, use the latest for your country, from here:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=2
PS: Just noticed there is no Sweden ROM there, just use EUROPE OPEN.
Ok I have done this..but it installed CWM recovery and also in Android Gingerbread it gives me 0 mb internal storage, even after factory reset and storage format...
Whats the diffrence between a .kdz and a bin file? I downloaded a kdz file from ur second link but in the unbrick method in the first link its all about bin files..

A KDZ file includes a rom (BIN file) and a baseband (FLS file).
If you flash a rom (BIN file), you will need to also flash a compatible baseband (FLS file).
My phone is stuck in a bootloop with LG logo and LG animation...i try to enter the Recovery with 3D+Volume down and Power button until vibration....but nothing is happening....only LG logo appears then dissappears----
Now it entered. But there was no vibration and i needed to press volume up or down for the screen to appear....strange :S

Hey, try this tutorial with flashtool its very easy, you have to flash the kdz you find everything here

so i have only one question is it official
you know i don't want to mess with my phone or put it a custom rom
i want it to be officially updated to ics
also every time i update it tells me emergency mode if you can please tell me how to disable it
If you don't install the rom, the v28B normal partitions .bin file is official ICS, only rooted with custom recovery. If you don't want that, instead install a .bin that is pure stock ICS. Or, there is a tutorial for installing a .kdz file using a different tool.
It all depends how you want to do it.

ok well i want it official
and one more question i have lg p920 so if i installed this rom will it erase the apps like 3d gallery 3d converter 3d space ??
The v28B ICS is official + root.Stock v28B ICS has all stock apps + a root app or two. If you look at the link to XBSA rom, it will list what apps are in there. I just wrote this installation guide, not the rom. VR3D has the 3D apps. I think XBSA 8 does also, but I don't remember. Either way, having root lets you install whatever you want.
If you do it, do it carefully. And if you have 10 posts you can ask me questions over there.
Please help
Hi,
I tried today to update my p920 thru PC to ICS.
After more than ten unsuccessful tries I wanted to try from the begining but with the phone factory reseted.
After reseted my phone, it displays "not enough space. clean ...."
In settings - applications - manage aplications does not show as usualy the mb used and mb free.
In settings - SD card&phone storage settings shows total and available space for internal and esternal SD but ...
"not available" for internal storage.
What can I do?
PLEASE HELP.
What did you do to cause that?
If you are following my tutorial you missed something. Read all details.
If you installed xbsall's v28B large, you need to erase internal memory.
But I don't know what you did. Please explain.

Nothing else than I said above.
- connected the phone to pc
- started LG mobile support tool
- When showed there is an update available I pressed the red button "start Update"
- Then try and try. disconnected the usb cable and battery as the LG Support Tool requested ... still same message:"problem in conection to your phone. Even if seconds ago recognized it.Didnt get further than 40% on analizing tab.
Then the same message: "there is a problem conectic to your phone..."
- then I thought to perform a factory reset.
Pressed the tab got me to the bootloader mode where I wiped the cache and dalvik and pressed factory reset.
Pressed the Reboot tab. The phone rebooted normaly but when I tryed to download fx explorer I got the message with no enough space ....
That is all.
Ok, it sounds like possible error in flash. You might try erasing internal memory. Or redoing with LG Mobile Support tool, but I have had trouble using it. Just going from between Froyo and GB was a real pain. It took about 3 tries to get it to work, following LG's instruction exactly.
You can try my tutorial, it should be linked some posts up. It uses LG Flash Tool, not the other one. Or there are other tutorials in the General section that use other tools.
I don't use LG Mobile Support tool.

About 3 tries to get from froyo to GB.
Would you be so kind to tell me exactly what tutorial of yours to try?
And also what soft I need to download for pc since the phone doesnt let me to install anything.
What you mean by "erasing internal memory" ... how can I do that?
Thank you.
First I'd try Mobile Update again to see if redoing it fixes it. Then I mean go into Android system settings/storage/internal memory/erase and see if it fixes it (back up your stuff to pc first, if you can).

Since your last answer I tried an tried with LG mobile support.
Nothing.
From more than 40 times, on 2 times passed 40% on Analyzing TAB and it said my phone has the last software.
LAYER.
The rest of times didnt pass 40%
I tried to erase internal memory but it didnt show the tab "erase" only 0, 00 mb available.
Your tutorial seems pretty hard to me so ... maybe there is somethin I can do from CWM where it takes me after pressing "factory reset"
THANK YOU for your time.

If you don't want to learn to flash and have CWM, you could install ics by doing 1, 2 (choose 1 option in part 2) and maybe 3 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39130435
I have NOT tried it that way and I don't know if it will fix your problem. Plus, if you can't use storage I don't know how you will access the .zip(s) in CWM, unless you can get to it in there somehow.
If you do ending up needing to flash, my tutorial is about as clear as you will get as far as LG Flash Tool.
