B) INSTRUCTIONS:
1- Install LG Drivers: Extract "LG Driver.zip" and install both "LG Drivers (1)" and "LG Drivers (2)".
2- Remove the battery and plug your phone with usb cable into your PC WHILE holding vol-up. OMAP4430 device will appears, you must install the usb_drv_windows driver included in Omap4boot ( In windows 7, if OMAP4430 device appear for seconds and then disappear in your Windows Device Manager, run a cmd as an admin and type :" SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1 " and press enter, then type :" devmgmt.msc " and press enter. Choose View, Show Hidden Devices, you will see now your hidden OMAP4430 device. You may now proceed to the driver installation). Keep the Windows Device Manager opened.
3- Run start_fastboot.bat and select the option depending on your device model from Omap4boot folder.
4- With the battery still removed, hold vol-up, connect your phone using the usb cable and KEEP HOLDING vol-up.
If you get "error 121", use the optional omap4boot (EMU version) and choose option 3
5- The usbboot will start, insert the battery.
6- Your phone is now in download mode.

}
7- Open device manager, select the LG port and open its properties by a right-click. Go to port settings tab, then click on advanced button. When you see a drop down menu, click on it and change the port number to com41.
Steps From 8 to 15 are for P920/5 only:
8- Unplug the usb cable, then run OS_HACKING tool.
9- Pull out the battery, hold vol-up and connect your phone using the usb cable but don't keep on holding vol-up after plugging the usb cable after putting the battery.
10- Your phone should be now in fastboot mode.
11- In device manager, you will see LG COSMO, install now its driver which is included in OS_HACKING package.
12- Now one more time run OS_HACKING tool, hold vol-up and connect your phone using the usb cable but don't keep on holding vol-up after plugging the usb cable after putting the battery. Your phone shou be in fastboot mode now.
13- Flash the GB bootloaders then flash CWM recovery.
14- Unplug the USB cable. Remove then insert your battery. If your phone boots, follow the next steps, if not, go back to download mode from omap4boot and flash your ROM (in ROM COPY TAB) using smartflash which won't be able to complete the flashing process. Then continue to the next steps (this method actually worked for me but don't forget to open windowsenabler before ).
15- If you can access cwm recovery, then you can try flashing a ROM or you can follow my next steps.
Steps from 16 to 18 are for SU760 only:
16- Run start_fastboot.bat and select the option depending on your device model from Omap4boot folder.
17- With the battery still removed, hold vol-up, connect your phone using the usb cable but DON'T HOLD vol-up.
18- You should be now in fastboot mode. Now from the platform-tools folder, press the right-click button and open command window here, then type the following commands:
fastboot flash x-loader files\.....\x-loader.bin
fastboot flash u-boot files\....\u-boot.bin
fastboot flash boot files\....\boot.img
fastboot flash recovery files\....\cwm.img
19- If you can access cwm recovery, then you can try flashing a ROM or you can follow my next steps.
20- Now open windowsenabler in smartflash folder then run smartflash. Choose your ROM in ROM COPY TAB.
21- Plug your phone without the battery while holding vol-up and wait till LG mobile USB SERIAL PORT gets recognized (if not try to release vol-up then hold vol-up then release it again). Try also to insert battery in after plugging your phone if it doesn't work. You might find sometimes that the 3D button will work for you, you just have to try
22- Smartflash will now recognize the port, you are in download mode but with a black screen on your phone. Now you can then start flashing process ( sometimes the device gets disconnected after 1 minute though it shouldn't do that, so just repeat the flashing process again. Usually this download mode with black screen on your phone lasts LONG ).
23- Now after finishing the process, sometimes the phone doesn't boot, just flash gb bootloaders once again.
24- CONGRATULATIONS !! YOU HAVE RESCUED YOUR LOVELY OPTIMUS 3D !!!

Do you mean "official" ICS or a ICS custom ROM?
If you have a P920/5, you can actually use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963847 , it's quite smooth I've tried it.
If you have a SU760, I think that this jellybean ROM would be better CM10 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100611

What you have to, like I said, is berfore using OS_HACKING tool, try to flash a ROM bin file using smartflash which will basically
flash some necessary partitions, then you shall use OS_HACKING tool.

Try to flash cwm recovery then GB bootloaders.
If it doesn't work try to flash ICS bootloaders if you were using ICS before.
If nothing works skip this step and check if you are able to access the BLACK SCREEN DOWNLOAD MODE in next steps.
Hopefully this will work
Thanks. I am going to try this. Been bricked now for two weeks, and I have no success with other threads.

Well, i've got some problems.
i've tried lots of times to go into fastboot mode, and fail.
i hold the volume+ button and plugged the usb cable, then i put the battery just as you say.
and it goes into charging mode.
i'm using windows 7 and i'm already did the device manager part, but still nothing...
any solution
i'll appreciate your answer

Try to use smartflash to flash the bootv21e ROM included in the thread, then try to flash another ROM in CWM.

I repeat, did you try to partially do the smartflash operation ?
The download won't finish but don't worry it will make new partitions.

So no ideas ????
people just read for gods sake ..i successfully downgraded...but the tutorial u r using is for BRICKED PHONES BRICKED PHONES NOT TO DOWNGRADE ..IF U WANNA DOWNGRADE DO IT WITH THE NORMAL LG FLASH TOOL
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
Here is how I did it :
1. Flash BOOTV21E ROM bin file with LG Flash Tool, just the way you flashed ICS bin before.
2. After the flashing end, flash the same way the baseband file your going to use.
3. Enjoy Gingerbread.
I didn't reinstall windows or omap drivers or anything. Used the same drivers an LG flash tool that I used for ICS.
About the constant connect/disconnect - I have the same problem, no idea why this is happening. So here is what I do - Start flashing, disconnect the phone, then i DONT remove the battery, just reconnect while pressing VOL+ and keep pressing it until I see in device manager port 41, after that everything goes fine.

There are few devices that cant downgrade.. so if you flash bootv21e and your phone doesnt start then you are stuck with the ics port till somebody find a fix for that :/

I downgrage success!
But that finished downgrage it reported SD card is not Damaged, so to reformat.
You should make a copy of all data and stored on your computer.
Guide: Solution
LG FlashTool will recognise the phone and flash it completely this time.
P920 after a reboot will go to CWM. You can flash your personal backup or reboot to STOCK V21E.
Thanks xbsall! :good: :laugh:

Try this;
Be sure ported ics is installed.
Ready the gb rom with lg flash tool
Shut it down.
Remove the battery.
Ready the battery to be put back in.
Connect the usb cable while holding down volume +
Wait for the second connected sound.
When you hear it put the battery back in.
It should go into download mode with some korean s
uff on the screen.
Flashtool will take over and flash the gb.
What we did is we skipped omapboot because the device is already able to enter the download mode , therefore not really bricked...
The guide is for bricked devices that cannot go into download mode.
Good Luck

If you're stuck in the LG logo then it should be able to enter the download mode.
Find a bin rom or kdz other than v21e then flash it , see if it works.
Also could be because of Win 7 or x64 , mine was XP.
Create another partition install xp in there and dual boot to Xp.
I did this and mine downgraded.

The clicking at the right arrow is just a reference to the normal way you activate the flash with lgflashtool.
I just suggested a secure way to flash, in case your flash goes not fine.
Last message when you are flashing baseband must be "Invalid ap path" and after you flash the bin file must be target resetting or reset.
We are talking here about o3ds that wont boot after installing gb...i have 2 o3d one of them downgraded successfully with lg flash tool but the other one just doesnt boot after flashing it with lg flash tool
And the flashing proccess finishes correctly but the phone doesnt boot up not even lg..but if i flash ics it works perfectly and biits normally..i tried both smartflash and lg kdz flash but i just cant downgrade

Once again I must remind to all of you that this method of downgrading/resurrection won't work for everyone. There are "a few" devices that need a different bin file so if you are "certain" that you did everything right but your phone doesnt start with BOOTV21E and only starts with ported ICS you need that specific bin (which is not available because nobody who had the same problem made it).

Technically is a matter of board revision, sector of memory or similar issue?
Don't know cause I never had the chance to troubleshoot it or spend some time on a device with this specific problem so anything I say will be wrong.
Well I am sure I have done every thing right I flashed bootv21e more than 9 times yesterday with different scenarios ...and tried 21e kdz and tried using smart flash but still can't boot the device ...but once I flash ice the device boots properly..
.I think the problem is in the partition because when boot21e is installed and won't boot I tried wpkark alternate boot and boot.king won't flash due to partition doesn't exist.. and recovery flashes but also never starts it just shows loading and the device turns off ...SO I THINK THE PROBLEM IS IN THE PARTITIONS ..any ideas will be help full and I will try them..

My Friend have Optimus 3D p920 with Android 2.2.
Just now i rooted with SuperoneClick and flashed CWM Touch Recovery.
Now i want to install ics.
I checked this thread [ROM][ICS][P920] First ICS 4.0.4 Full 3D ROM Ported From SU760
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956347
In that thread you need to flash with Flash tool.
So i checked this thread,

Sorry,I can't able to understand.
Do i need to make new cable with that modification?
How to flash?
Can anyone lead me to flash a ICS?
No bro keep the cable as it is just download ics and then the drivers in the flashing thread any other drivers won't work .so uninstall current drivers then install the drivers in the thread...after that download LG flash tool and crack it then take out the battery and simcard memory ..and hold volume up and connect the cable then keep holding the volume up and count 3 seconds and put the battery in u should see s/w on your device in Korean release the volume up..this is called download mode now go to device manager and change the port to com41 then disconnect the device and open LG flash tool and choose only the bin file and download the DLL update file for your device and select as well and hit OK. Then change the LG flash tool port settings ( just watch the pictures in the flashing tutorial) after that hit the arrow button and u should see a ready sign ..then just put you phone in download mode and it will start flashing automatically it will stop at 80% -85% that's OK then the device will boot ice then just flash the base and ( fls) that works for your country

Fisrt Welcome to our forum ,, I hope you will see what you want .
you are new , you must understand many things before that .
1- this tool you are using is to solve problems or update phones .
But "LG Optimus 3D" did not has an official ICS rom so the developer "xbsall" port it from "su760" it's the korean version of our phones.
2- This program will put the system in your phone any way and it will work with it . BUT WITH OUT a signal .
3- To get signal you must the baseband that is work with your country.
4- your phone will enter "S/W Upgrade mode" some called it "download mode" or "emergency mode" ... in this mode the phone will connect with the PC and then you can copy the system into it by lg flash tool .
5- when your phone in "S/W Upgrade mode" your PC can't recognize it so you must install drivers .
6- after your phone enter the s/w mode and the PC detect it . And lg flash tool is ready . Then you can flash your new rom ICS.
Any question ,, we are waiting for it ..
About the dtails do what "alphatia" said . No need to repeat
At first you will see it hard because it is too messy .
But after you do it you will see it too easy
Good Luck...

Thanks a million times man for your suggestion.
I tried with fastboot but no device shown. I went to device manager & uninstalled-then reinstalled the drivers. That actually helped me to build the serial communication between SP flash tool & Device.
Then I discarded the battery & retried the SP flash tool, this time the phone is finally detected & flashed successfully. red, blue, yellow bar then green circle. DONE.
Now, the same issue. Karbonn boot animation is displayed & stuck at the eye screen. I have covered the halfway but cant be able to get success in the other half (cant see the homescreen or anything.)

Hi! Got major problem. Recently I tried putting TWRP to my ICS 4.0.4 LG P920. I installed it (don't remember the TWRP version) but not quite correctly. If I try any ROM to install I always get in to statuts 7 error. If I try to run into reovery from ROM manager I get lying down Android with red triangle and a exclamation mark. I only managed to get in to recovery by POWER + VOLUME DOWN. But it still won't allowed me to install other ROM's such as Jellybean etc. Cache cleaning and Dalvik didn't helped. So I thought I will try this program http://theunlockr.com/2012/11/07/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-lg-optimus-3d/ because it looked the easy way.
THE PROBLEM:
So I ran the program and chose to install LG Stock Recovery. It showed installation was successful. But now when I try to turn on the phone it goes in to restart loop (when on cord). Shows LG logo and restarts other and other and other. . . Can't even get into recovery. If plugged off and pressing power it shows logo and turn off.
Any advice would be VERY appreciated.
Tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246001
Fastboot runs successfully but at the end my phone just vibrates but no LG logo shows up

If you are able to get into recovery, and get status 7 error, it usually means that the recovery is not compatible. If you want to install ics again just use the aio tool the last version is easy to use. And flash another recovery. Then flash rom.

Also tried different Flash tools. Tried B_SmartFlashTool_3D which showed the TimeOut error above in my post. Also tried LG Flash Tool.

Yes, I pressed the arrow, but it didn't change anything. Maybe I need different USB cable because I saw other people complaining about that. Also keep in mind that in the program there it says MODEL, it keeps blank space. Should it be so? In couple of Youtube videos I noticed that other people's smartphones were detected...

After hiting the yellow arrow in lg flashtool you have to reconnect the phone.
Also you can try flashtool2014 https://mega.co.nz/#!Hlo22baS!zXV3VKRZzOI5EtO5MEAUzICC5kcx-a7xAGspZzhKMFs
You have to instal lgb2c before that https://mega.co.nz/#!70hBEQZK!IpOGBNLLu4sfRBzygJw2J8vh0B3OLgaVto26S21rsHs
If you facing failed to connect server error then you also have to edit the host file in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

You have to instal lgb2c before that https://mega.co.nz/#!70hBEQZK!IpOGBNLLu4sfRBzygJw2J8vh0B3OLgaVto26S21rsHs
If you facing failed to connect server error then you also have to edit the host file in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
And add this line 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com

Reconnected - didn't change.
Yeah, I will try other flash tools.
P.S. any advice on Time Out error? Why it is happening and how to stop it?
EDIT: somehow doesn't open links.

Also keep in mind that in the program there it says MODEL, it keeps blank space. Should it be so? In couple of Youtube videos I noticed that other people's smartphones were detected...

For example here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trhIgKL2FlI it instantly shows P920 after selecting AP file, while mine's not. Maybe I got wrong drivers installed...

I have no idea why you get timeout error. I got these kind of errors with my Optimus 2x but after several tries I got passed. I falshed baseband and the rom separately.

that is matter of dll. I dont remember well, but I used the dll from an extracted kdz to make lgflashtool work with my optimus 2x p990

Friend, have you tried flashing a KDZ? It is a much more reliable way to flash your phone, especially after you have already run into problems. The LG Mobile Support Tool has changed a lot since I last used it but I'm sure it still has an emergency recovery function where you type-in your IMEI and the Tool recovers your phone to it's original factory state. After that, you can use the AIO tool to install a custom recovery, then root, then whatever you want...
Don't forget that this phone is unbrickable and if you ever run into serious problems, Xbsall's resurrection guide will bring your phone back to life.

Tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191698 didn't work. I put in S/W mode and ran UpTestEX put kdz file in it and pressed Normal web upgrade test and Upgrade Test. Nothing happens. So instead I chose Start Upgrade. The program shows line: " Extract kdz file" and do nothing for whole minute and my phone shutdown (it does that always if in S/W more than a minute and doing nothing). The program crashes and says Don't send error. Losing my faith in resurrecting this phone :crying:

You must have already installed LG B2C app on your PC. This is the official LG Mobile Update Tool.
- Just run that.
- Connect your phone in S/W Download mode.
- Look for Emergency Phone Recovery (or something like that) in the B2C tool.
- Type-in your IMEI when it asks you.
- Let it do it's job.

Yes, I have installed LGMobile Support Tool. I have only found Upgrade Recovery. When I select it, insert my IMEI but it says my phone is up to date.
