Hey,
my phone was stock gingerbread v21e when I decided to try ICS. After all I got it working but was not really convinced. So I tried to downgrade to gingerbread again. First try everything was working, except one thing: When I enter the download mode it shows the korean letters, still. Is it normal or have I done a mistake while downgrading?
Sry for my bad english
edit: I used the LG Flahstool for everything and the Resurrection Guide
I've got this problem, too
it's normal you have downgraded
I had the same, when i downgraded still everytime when the download screen apeared the korean was there.
After downgrading a ran the official lg tool, it updated to v21e, still korean download mode. Then i flashed the files out the downgrade the undowngradeble topic.
That solved it
Don't ask me why:laugh:

I can't enter the Fastboot mode... Everytime I install the LG driver 1.0 und the OMAP drivers and plug the phone to the PC it just installs all the LG drivers, but OMAP wont pop up... what am I doing wrong?

use wkparks omap4boot, it will enter fastboot for you.
Install newest lg drivers, and have omap drivers ready, go to devices then plug your phone WITHOUT batery in the usb port, omap will flash three times.
You need to click fast, first flash i opened the device properties, second flash i opened driver settings (then the actual driver not loaded message dissapears, just wait. third flash (you're still in the driver screen) click as fast as possible on the appearing driver fault line.
Then manual search for driver, the go to your omap drivers folder. instal amd64 for 64 bit (doesn't matter which procesor your pc use) if on 32 bit, install the other.
thats's all
ps i'm on a dutch system so i've translated the device screen as best as possible, but i don't know the real names. So maybe you've need extra clarificfation
Every time I try to install the drivers manually, it just shows the message "drivers could not be installed". Doesnt matter which folder I chose. Is it because Win 64 bit? I read that OMAP drivers are not compatible?
On Win 32 OMAP doesnt show up, maybe after a reboot, ill try tommorow
Okay, I got OMAP installed and the fastboot program recognizes it. But when I remove the USB cable, no LG logo is coming
when you've started wparks omap prog, choose 2, then in your screen there's a message, wait 5 seconds. Then put your battery in. no you should enter fastboot mode. It's not neccesary to remove usb cable, something i've experienced. But what works for you
I did it, problem was LG COSMO wasnt installed... (Im an idiot ) How can I test the Downloade Mode Screen?
OMAP4430 driver, can't install, doesn't recognize files to install them?
following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490 to flash my bricked LG, after I reach stop where I need to install OMAP4430 drivers with selecting folder where drivers are located, it says that can't find anything. Also it constantly connects and disconnects, any solution to this issue?
Running on Windows 7 x64
Listen drivers should be there or reinstall omap drivers ..about the connect disconnect am using the Sam windows and it happens here too but flashing works but make sure to install the drivers
sent from my lg o3d
a piece of advice:
don't ask alot ..go read.
well OMAPFlash driver shows on programs and features, but it constantly connects disconnects OMAP4430 in device manager, tried to select folder, but it just disconnects to quick that it ignores my previously selected paths.
I can't flash it, because I can't find that start_fastboot app
/ another issue, if I ignore that OMAP4430 and just carry on step by step, change port to 41 for CDMA and open LGFlashTool.exe for , it just wont open, tried even on xp sp3, still nothing... it's 1.1 version.
^^^^^ scratch that, works now with 1.2 version
now have a question, If I have 170mb kdz for 21e, can I use it in FlashTool? Because to download BIN_LGP920AT-00-V21e-EUR-XXX-Apr-19-2012 , it's gonna be another hour, because where file was uploaded, download speed is so slow...........
I'm running on windows 7 x64
OMAP drivers still was bugged for me, eventho I tried lots of ways to fix it.
eventually, I used smart flash with 21e AP and CP and it flashes successfully
P.S. I do put back battery when flashing starts, otherwise ,it restarts at partition part!!!
about kzd just Google lge kdz ectractor and go read xbsalls ressurection thread again to fix omap flashing too fast.

Help!
I have the LG Security Error at boot. My phone doesn't even load drivers on my PC with Windows 7. Therefore, no fastboot option. I'm using LG Optimus L9. I got the error after trying to install a custom recovery that was supposed to be for a locked bootloader. I guess I may be screwed. Hope someone can help. Thanks!

I'm also having this same problem with my lg, it disconnect and connect from device manager menu.
And I can't flash it using lg flash tool because its not stable during read. Any solution to this ???????
Help, I cant root it nor use lg flash tool because the usb is recognized as cosmo driver and I need to find the driver software.
Also, I cant seem to get signal since I cant use lgflash tool to flash baseband... Any ideas how?
I can access the sd card though. When I remove the battery and pressed the Vol up button, the OMAP driver keep connect and disconnect too and I cant seemed to install it, I'm using windows 7 bytheway.
Baseband is not XBSA404 but instead its the original korean baseband. I can't flash any baseband too.
This doesn't belong here..
However...
Cosmo drivers = omap4430 drivers
so just install the omap drivers like you did before to flash ics.
Edit: for the connect/disconnect problem..
Just keep battery in, hold vol+ and connect usb (hold vol+ until you see s/w)

Some tips.
Need to use twrp recovery to install stuff. Cwm uses vol+, twrp vol- to enter recovery(or was it vice versa). Cwm old version doesnt work with xbsa404.
I had brick also, lg logo and reboot. WIn 7 found lg serial port. Used flashtool and change port to 41 or if it is that change to 42.
Then flasher should found lg and flash it.
To get network you need new kernel.
OK!

The thing is when I flash to ICS, my recovery is gone plus after I reflashed to ICS, the phone will froze for a few seconds and then back to normal. This keeps repeating.... Also if ur talking abt rooting, I cant coz it says invalid ap path.

I dont really understand where you stuck exactely and what you did but regarding the cosmo driver:
To install the cosmo drivers for windows xp I downloaded and installed the lg pc suite software ver. 4 something and my phone was connected to the pc under software installation.
For win 7 64bit the driver was automatically installed by windows but you can try lg pc suite with win 7 too.

Whenever I wanna root my phone, it says cannot find specific file or folder. Plus I can install wkpark boot because I cant install the OMAP driver eventhough I directed it manually. When I tried on other laptop, I managed to successfully install the driver, but it still connect and disconnect ( u can hear by the sound ).

What do you do exactely and what is the error message exactely pls.
For the root you need the lge cosmo driver.
It is correct this wy... connect and disconnect all the time. It means it is ok if you installed the driver.
To install those omap drivers you either needs to be fast to click on them when the ti omap appears or there is a solution to see the already attached devices in thr windows decice list, I saw it somewhere here but i do not remember in which thread.

for people, like me also, that LGMDP doesn't show device, you need to have installed LG drivers, disabled LG modem from device manager, reboot into recovery, conect phone to pc, go to advance/mounts and mount USB, that shoud make LGMDP show the device(maybe it will take some little time to detect it and instal drivers), from LGMDP select country and language, carrier, phone model and shoud see if there are updates for it and install them and after all is done reboot
AND DO NOT TRY TO UPDATE TROUGH KDZ BECAUSE ALOT OF PEOPLE HAD HARDBRICKED THEYR PHONES (USING KDZ IS NOT FOR EVERYBODY), ONLY USE LGMDP,
AN IF YOU EVENTUALY USED KDZ AND GAVE YOU ERROR, DO NOT PULL OUT BATTERY, JUST RETRY AGAIN UNTILL IS ALL DONE OK,
IF ALSO, YOU WILL NEED TO GET YOUR DEVICE TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THAT IS NOT FOR FREE, OR IN THE WORST CASE YOU WILL NEED A NEW PHONE

Check your xda messages. I sent you a PM.
I am not sure what all you did, but if factory hard reset does not fix your issue, you can usually flash a firmware to bring back your device
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
It could be you just need to flash just a bootloader, but like I say, I am not sure what you did.
EDIT: since you can access twrp, it would be easier to install ICS by installing .zip files from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39130435
Do 1-3... install ICS as in #2 there and boot125 as in step 3, then reboot phone (you will need to copy the files to a micro sd by plugging one into a pc by an adapter). That is one way that would be 'easier' than setting up LG Flash Tool. If TWRP cannot find your external micro sd, you may need to proceed as I mention above.

I suspect drivers are not installed correctly. Check part 1 very carefully.
You must install the .bin of v28B first by Flash Tool. That will install the OS. If and when you then decide to install an xbsa rom from TWRP, v8 changes it to v30A. vR3D is v30C (that one requires the large partition v28B).
Factory reset should not have done this to your phone
yeah I think it was my fault

Are you on Windows 7?
I would more than video like to see a screen shot of the drivers in your pc Device Manager (when phone is connected to pc by usb, you hold volume up on phone when you plug it in).
There should be 'omap 4430' in 'other devices' in pc Device Manager. If correctly installed, it should NOT be flashing/blinking on and off. You must use the driver from the wkpark Fastboot package, not the one from the 'omap4flash installer' pack.
There are also two LG drivers that must be installed to pc. And there should be LG Cosmo device appearing in Device Manager someplace also, port set to 41.
I ask because driver install can be tricky or difficult, and confusing when you first do all of that. And, it is very important to have it all correct to flash successfully. Usually it is the problem when flash will not complete or start.
It also adds to difficulty that you must translate the instructions...
just one driver

just lg cosmo driver doesnt work it never upgrade... and yeah i have windows 8 but i did the same on my other computer that has windows 7 and its the same problem
You must be logged on to pc as administrator. Use Windows 7, much easier. I have Win 7 x64.
Read all details carefully. Run everything as admin. ALL antivirus off. You must remove all old LG things from pc before beginning. Reboot pc. Install omap4flash. Restart pc. Install the two provided LG drivers. One of these you must force install. Restart pc.
Connect phone, vol. up to pc (no battery in phone, all of part 1). Link omap driver from Fastboot folder as described. Wait a bit for it to complete. When done here omap4430 will stop blinking.
Disconnect phone from pc. Connect it again, volume up, and LG drivers will install. Wait for it to process and finish. Change port to 41.
If LG drivers do not install when connecting phone the second time, try running omap4flash installer and UNinstall it. Reboot pc. Then try the above again.
Some things, like wkpark bootloader conflict with omap4flash (this is mentioned in the guide) so you may need to try it both ways.

You can use xbsall's guide if you want, but the driver install process is the same.
Karim Kahale has an unbrick guide that uses Smartflash instead. You might find it easier, I do not know. It should be in O3D General section. Just do not "Erase Entire CP" or you will have to recover your IMEI.
Whatever you choose, I would stick with one method and see it through to completion. Trying too many things may just make the problem worse.

Thank you so much i Fixed my cellphone !!
but now I have another problem, and is the reason why I did the factory reset is that I have ghost screen and someone told that if I do a factory reset I could solve it. oh and I cant use the camera.
Never had the screen issue so not sure. Camera should be working. Mine does. Use the button on touch screen to take a picture, I think 3D button has a bug in official ICS so it will not take a photo that way. Not sure, I always use touch screen button for that. Or maybe try rebooting phone a couple of times. It is possible I suppose that flash was incomplete or corrupt from incorrect driver install. If you are sure that is all good you might try redownloading the .bin file and flashing again. Beyond that, not sure. Maybe someone else knows???
