Flashing ics the .bin .fls
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

If i send you a video showing what is my problem, you will get any idea of how to repair it? sorry for bad english :silly: heres the video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLbKqzSLB-g
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.

i did all the steps and nothing works i have flashed a lot of roms and no matter what I get trapped in cwm I think i will send you the picture of my drivers and a video of me making all the steps of this guy

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.
OMG!

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???

Ok im on lg thrill,I have all my drivers install,I have the lg,omap,etc installed.I hold the volume button up and plug up the phone,but it does not show the "detected new hardware,I also try the volume up plus power button and still no work,i am on windows xp,Ive been trying to do this for the last couple of days,what am i doing wrong???????
Make sure to double check that you did everything and installed everything as stated in the instruction thread. Run flashtool as admin. If still doesnt work, and this is only way it worked for me, do the power volume up but remove the battery. Thats how i was able to install the baseband after 2 days of trying.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
Have you removed the sim/micro sd/batery then do it. This is where i got stuck lol soon as i removed them all i just held the power n volume button for like 10 seconds i didnt release them till my pc noticed it

i just want to share what i did to flash GB baseband.
1. i uninstall everything that smell LG from my computer (pc suite, divx, LG smart world, LG flashtool)
2. install step by step everything from the beginning (except LG pc suite that come from the phone), then i install pc suite (2 file) that come from the tutorial page.
3. follow instructon from the tutorial page.
4. my computer didn't detect omap but LG modem, and when it needs the driver, i take it to omap driver that's been installed before.
5. change port and follow the tutorial.
6. when connecting to computer, first time to make it "ready"
7. second time connecting, i took out batterey first before connecting back to finish the flashing.
8. flashing and stop at 22% (GB "leaked" baseband), restart phone,..and the signal bar finally there.
PS : im using Win XP sp2,..sorry for my bad english

1. Do i uninstall the lg drivers also?
2. Do you mean the lg flash tool?
i did exactly the same as ssfirme , i found the original instuctions didnt work for me, i think for me the bit that made it work was removing the bettery before connecting it to the computer for a second time as this step isnt in the original instructions
I have tried several things mentioned on this forum but to know avail. My LG Optimus 3d P920 isnt coming up after i flashed the rom. When i connect to the system on window 7, it shows omap under unknown driver and withing 2secs disappears again. using one of the methods mentioned here, i was able to install the omap driver but each time i connect the phone, it connects and then disconnect instantly. When i tried it on window xp, i got the same error. I can boot into recovery. The phone is not switching ON atall for me to even consider goin to recovery. Sometimes when am on window xp and i press the recovery button with the battery in (vol- plus Power +3d button) it connects and then instantly disconnects again. Please help with a step by step process as am stumped. Am sure i should be able to get it up. Any help will be greatly appreciated

I have tried the method you explained step by step bt i got stuckedd on step 13
"Step 13. Run Steps 3-9 again and you will see your phone being flashed from LG FlashTool.
It will be stopped at 26-30% because phone will turn off on its own BUT the next time you try to enter NORMAL DOWNLOAD MODE it will be available again."
When i do what step 12 says, instead of my LG flash tool flashin my fone, the screeen just stay stuck on the download mode with the korean message on it. Dont know how to move ahead. Thanks for your reply, please help me move past this level. In addition, instead of LGE mobile USB serial port, what i have is LGE CDMA USB serial port.

That s mean your phone is successfully done flashing , with me it never come to 100% it always on 82% its finish, just reboot your phone and wait for it to start on , and you are good to go, now go to recovery and format, or wipe cache and data and reboot at first time it says that you don't have enough memory left just go to privacy and reset the phone and format everything . and i think everything will be good after that. good luck.
Thanks

The truth is your phone can not be break just with flashing, it will brick though, unless your hardware is damaged, then you are think to buy new phone.
well about the JellyBam, while you are on GB now, root your phone and install Rom manager flash Bernie's file and you're out of the rebooting. the Barnie's files is the key of JellyBam or other CM10 to work. good luck.

Hello Guys, i have to show you, how you can recover your LG P720/725 and 720H. It´s very simple. Since i have my LG P720 i have reflashed my phone so often by this step´s
there give´s 3 methodes to bring your Smarthphone back to orginal
First what do you need.
First off all you need the KDZ from your Phone and the *.cp and *.ap also the binarys
----------- S/W MODE --------------
Plugged your Batterie out of the Phone. Wait 3 seconds.
Bring it back and insert your USB Cable to the Phone. Then Hold the Volume+ Button for 6 seconds. Your S/W Mode will start.
Now Connect your Phone to the PC, maybe you must install the Driver. (There are in the LG Flash Tool Package included)
If you didn´t flashed your Phone and it´s bricked automaticly , you can use the First Methode
--------First Methode ------
Connect Your Phone via USB to the PC and bring your Phone in the S/W Mode.
Start your LGMobile Support Tool and start the Emergency Mode, it will download the KDZ and flash it new to the Phone.
You have flashed a wrong Bin or KDZ to your Phone? Or Your Bootloader is bricked, also Bootloop ? Use this Methode
---------- Second Methode-----------------
You need the "LG Flash Tool Package" and the full working "LPG720 DLL" you can get the FlashPack here p92x.acidhazardrom.com/ccount/click.php?id=15 . This Includes all relevant Drivers, install it.
Here in the Post you find the LG Flash Tool 1.2 without Drivers
and the DLL are from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1937519&stc=1&d=1367761284
The SmartFlash Tool http://hotfile.com/dl/143853325/ed430ad/SFT.rar.html Password [email protected]
--If You have a Behavior Blocker on your PC, disable it ---
Install all Drivers from the LG FlashPack.
Bring your Phone to the S/W Mode, install the Drivers.
So after you installed it, go to your Device Manager on the PC and change the Comport under connections > LG Modem ..... to COM41. Disconnect your Phone.
Install the FlashTool, then Start the LGFlashTool.exe from the LG Flash Tool 1.2. Then Select Manual Mode, choose the DLL and add your AP.bin and CP.fls. Press OK. Goto the COMConnector Button and Choose the Port 1. OK. Click on the Arrowbutton , the Program will be ready. Connect your Phone in S/W Mode now to the PC. It start´s automaticly and flash´s your device new.
After your Phone is ready, check your Mobile Network, if its false,"No conenction" you have to reflash the Baseband.
Use the Smartflash Tool, bring your Phone Back to S/W, start Smartflash and connect your phone. Goto the Register Rom Copy D/L under CP Bin use the *.fls binary. Click the Button "Start" now the Smartflash flash´s the Baseband new.
Now Your Phone is NEW.
---------------------------------------------------------------
My Smartphone is Permantently Bricked, bootloop, flashtool can´t flash anything(but i have used it correctly), Kernel Error or anything else
----------- The Third Methode-------------
So Guys, this is complicated for noobs.
You need the OAMP TOOL, download it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1937574&stc=1&d=1367763391
Now unplug your Batterie from the Phone, and connect it via USB to the PC. Now he will install the Driver, make it manual and choose the Driver from the folder usb_drv_windows, includes in the Package your downloaded.
So now if you have installed the Driver, start the "start_fastboot.bat". Choose your Phone and press the Button on your keyboard, the Tool will bring your Device to the Fastboot mode, if its write to start the mode "Pls wait 5 secondes " is now in the Screen read. Plug your batterie back to your phone.
then choose "install orginal bootloader" and follow the Steps. After you have to all, bring it back to the S/W Mode and follow Second Methode.
------------------------My S/W Mode is Gone-------------------
Follow Third Methode, but hold your vol up button permanetly , this will bring your Phone to the S/W Mode.
----------------------- Nothing goes, i think my Device is Bricked permantenly, fastboot can find any partitions or any thing else--------------------------
After i had this Problem, i fixxed it. So start Omap, choose your device. Hold permanently your Vol up button, plugg the Cable to usb and insert the Batterie. Omap brings your phone back to S/W.
Now flash your Stock Image with FlashTool, maybe 3 Times.
It works for me
----------- Other Mode KDZ_FW_UPD ---------------
i have forgot to tell you this mode. For this you need the KDZ File.
Download http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1949514&stc=1&d=1368135582
Its the same methode with the LG Mobile Support Tool, but offline.
Bring your Phone to S/W Mode and connect it to the PC.
First you have to edit your hosts file. Open it and insert this 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com
then start kdz server, start windows enabler. See at the Tryicon click on it and make it ON.
Then open UpTestEX_mod2_marwin
On the rigth side, click on select kdz file. Choose your KDZ.
On the Bottom start "normal web upgrade test"
Then Upgrade Start.
The Mobile Support Tool opens and flashs the KDZ
This was a short Guide to bring your Phone back. If You have questions so ask pls =). Btw sry for my bad English, but i hope you can understand it
Added CWM for P720 maybe P920

Hi,
How do I get the binary files?
Also, the SFT.rar file is asking for a password.
If I have the KDZ, .bin and .fls files, i can use this method to upgrade to later version of software as well ( I am on V10C on P725, I can use this method to upgrade to V10F as well)
please help.
schubeir
ok if you read the Guide you find
The SmartFlash Tool http://hotfile.com/dl/143853325/ed430ad/SFT.rar.html Password [email protected] <<<<<< Passwort
the Binary files are from the KDZ, you musst extract them with LG Extract Tool
you can Use SFT or LG Faslhtool to flash you binarys.
If You have only the KDZ Use KDZ_UP......
Good Job !!!
Dear MasterTobi, hello!
I am trying all these methods, but I can't unbrick my phone! I can enter 2 different screens for S/W Upgrade, one by normal mode, another by OMAP boot mode, bu tin anyone my phone goes live... Do I have to select the port 41 in LG Modem in Device Manager, and after this, port 1 in the LG Flahs Tool? Is it correct? When I try to do this, I got the message "Downlaod Fail" each 20 seconds in the port 1 field at the LG Flash Tool.
I tried the methods in this post and another ones, but anyone works for me. Do you have any idea?
Thank you very much!

You can follow this guide which works for All OS versions of Windows .

Sorry, but if I use your DLl, I got the message "Model Name is different! Chel phone or DLL!".
Also, I tried the smartflash tool, selecting the ap and cp. At the ending, appears a mesage "Magic number doesn't concide".
And finally, I tried the "Normal web upgrade test". This one looked as my phone would return to life, but not...
In any of methods I could turn on the phone. I don't know what I can do know. I am very, very afraid...

oh guys...............
so you have a magic number ........ strange, there is only the error if you have a wrong version
you have to download the LGP720AT-00-V10e-EUR-XXX-JUL-17-2012+0_AP this is for the P720/P725 alias 3D MAX
Success!
Hey people! I got success! After many days trying, I unbricked my phone! I will tell you what I did.
- My phone is a P725. I don’t know exactly where is it from. This information (P725) was very important for me in the unbricking process.
- I used the LG Flash Tool 1.3.77.21 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=984864&d=1333650043).
- Now, the two cheats that helped me to unbrick my phone:
1st: I didn’t use the .dll from the first page of this post, and I didn’t use the .dll, .bin and .fls extracted from the KDZ gotten from the IMEI of the phone. They didn’t work for me. I googled for these files for P725AT, which was the model that LG Flash Tool was telling me that is my phone. I found the following files:
http://freakshare.com/files/e6xssy95/BIN_LGP725AT-00-V10b-ARB-XXX-MAY-08-2012-0.zip.html
http://uploaded.net/file/v6orqts2
2nd: At the flashing process, there is a pause at 80% telling that the phone will reset. In some cases, the reset really occurs, but in my case, the reset didn’t occur. A lot of errors appeared (see the image), but no problem. I just turned on my phone, and BINGO! It was working again.
It’s important to tell that I had to put my phone in download mode using the OMAP TOOL, that can be found in the first page of this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1937574&stc=1&d=1367763391). Don’t forget to change the LG USB COM Port to 41.
That is my history! I hope that this help someone. I would like to thank everybody who wrote about the brick of this phone (MasterTobi, Karim Kahale, Eklovya Dutta [I'm not certain of how to link for them, sorry!] and anybody else), I believe that is one of the worsts bricks in smartphones…
Good luck for all!
EDIT:
I forgot to tell: all the process was made in a Windows 8 64 bit. It gave me some difficults to install all the drivers, but it is possible, Google it and found how to.
Hi,
I tried to restore my IMEI and official ICS versions using the official LG Tools, but at about 97% the phone restarted and now it only shows the LG logo for 1 sec then it shuts down. I can't charge it, the computer doens't read the OMAP drivers...it is blinking in the device manager and that's all. I have followed the guides from the Unbrick section but no work.
Please help me..I really need to revive the darn brick
Thanks.
You have to force the driver to link as in part 1.f.4.1 to 1.f.4.5 here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
Then proceed with the unbricking or imei recover.

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 your device
It doesn't need to stay there. Catch it in other devices. Point omap4430 to the driver file and force install it as described. Let it install a minute. Disconnect phone and reconnect. Then after a bit it should stay connected but under TI boards this time. Then you can do resurrection or whatever else. Depending on what you are doing you might also need the LG drivers but check whatever tutorial you are following.
Or you can run the command Karim described to stop the blinking. But you will still need to link the driver whether omap4430 is blinking or not.

It doesn't stay connected even under TI Boards, even if I install the drivers as in that tutorial. It just blinking and blinking over and over again, and the sound that windows is making when connecting and disconnecting a USB device. I can't enter any other mode the only way the PC sees it "alive" is with the "Volume and plug-in" thing. If I try to make it start under with other methods it is just showing the LG logo for about 1 sec and then it powers down. Is it really, but really dead ?
It's not dead. You have bootloop. Once you fix that then you can fix imei, if that is really the problem. Probably you mistakenly flashed a bootloader incompatible with the kernel you have.
Download the bag of goodies in link section. Then start at beginning of step 1. Be sure to read everything carefully. Once you have step 1 done correctly you can continue with flashing the .bin with LG Flash Tool.
Since I don't know what you did exactly, I don't know what exactly to do to fix the problem. But, one way is to flash ICS again. If you are not familiar with fastboot and bootloaders, I would suggest that. Using Fastboot requires some understanding of what the problem is. Since I gather you don't know, reflashing is one way to get the phone running.
After that, if your imei is not fixed in the process, then that can be done later.

How I bricked my O3D. Simple.. using the f**kin LG Official Update Software >.<' . I let it run and at about 98% the phone restarted and never gone up again. I don't care if I loose all the crap inside my phone, since I got really nothing on it. Just a few games. I just want to make it run again..
So, I've connected my phone with my USB cable while pressing Volume+. OMAP4430 appears only as a TI Board and flashing all the way until I disconnect my phone. When I install the OMAP drives as in that guide, it gives me an error that it can't install it (or in most cases no error) and the blinking thingy is still there. Do I need to use a modified USB cable to do this ? Like P999 910k ? I am really noob, since I bought my phone yesterday from a friend, and tried to restore it's IMEI by flashing the phone again. Yes, I know, I`m dumb xD
If it is a sync cable you should be fine with that.
If omap4430 is blinking you missed something. Driver install can be tricky if you have not done it before. Hell, it's tricky if you have done it.
Just take your time with that, read carefully, don't miss anything, and be sure all things like Defender, antivirus, etc are disabled before downloading, unzipping, unraring and all that.
Once that's done you'll be set up to flash or anything else.
I can't speak to LG Update Tool because I don't use it.

I finally managed to make the omap4430 work, i reinstalled a new firmware , the v30a one using emergency mode, the phone is starting up but it's freezing. Why ? Is there any difference between v30A and B or v28 ones ? Is there any chance for v28 to work ? Because the update takes up to 6hrs >.<

Why don't you flash bootv21e which will fix all problems then flash ICS ?

Q1: Where can I find that firmware ? I want to flash an official one, and then upgrade to ics again, the official one.
I only managed to find the v30A on the internet.
Q2: Is there any difference between v30 and v28 ?
Q3: That firmware you have specified is Gingerbread, right ? I heared there are some problems when upgrading to ics from gb. V21e solve them all ?

Here is the link http://d-h.st/RC5 .
Bootv28 is probably the leaked beta version of ICS.
Based on what I experienced, after flashing bootv21e, I never had any problem upgrading to ics.
Good Luck !

To install this, I need to enter recovery mode, and flash it from SD card ?

No, you must flash this ROM with smartflash or either LG flashtool into download mode.

Any special cable required ? I only have the "sync" one. Not the 910k resistor on it.
Nightfallen said:
Hi,
I tried to restore my IMEI and official ICS versions using the official LG Tools, but at about 97% the phone restarted and now it only shows the LG logo for 1 sec then it shuts down. I can't charge it, the computer doens't read the OMAP drivers...it is blinking in the device manager and that's all. I have followed the guides from the Unbrick section but no work.
Please help me..I really need to revive the darn brick
Thanks.

I think that resistor mod is for making a sync cable from a cheap charge cable, but I am not sure (the post first I saw about that was in a language I can't read, so I don't know why that was started). My generic sync cable works fine, so it should be OK.

I heared that if you're not using the 910k resistor on that cable, you won't be able to flash it without errors, or something... That also said a guy from a authorised-service in my town. He said that he needs to modify a USB cable in order to flash it. He flashed it finally with the v30a fw, but the phone is freezing after startup. Maybe I could help him somehow to repair my phone. Tomorrow I`ll go again to the service to see if he managed to get the phone working using v28 or v21. The updates takes a serios ammount of time. The last update to v30a took him about 5hrs...
very hard brick. when the "resurrection guide" does not work anymore. what do you do?
the "resurrection guide" has always worked for me. :good:
but this time I can not flash the bootloader. it tells me error:
"USB_READ GOOT: 0, EXPECTED: 4, ERRNO: 121" that is repeated endlessly. see video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke19sY0nQ2c. :crying:
display always off; no logo LG; no vibration. cable is ok (work on another phone p920). PC is ok. battery is ok.
there are alternatives to resurrect my p920?
pls use the lasted version of omap boot and try a other usb port
What happened to cause the brick?

Then it's probably an incomplete flash from incorrect driver install or possibly a corrupt .bin. Try this, take your time and read carefully and thoroughly.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
If you are on Windows 8, check the tips for that especially. The tutorial is for XBSA roms but the part for Flash Tool is the same.
If it won't work, then you might need to look at xbsall's resurrection guide.
Flashing the bootloaders in fastboot won't do the trick, as you have corrupted system, etc. from incomplete flash

surely I have a corrupt boot. fastboot not work. this time resurrection guide not work for me.
now I read the link
okay. the guide is done well and is suitable for beginners. I'm not a beginner. now I know a lot of things.
I have resurrected many times my p920.
Now I can not anymore.
I boot corrupt. I'm looking for an alternative solution, but have not been able to find it.
I know you can do it via USB (no JTAG). look octoplus http://octoplusbox.com/eng/news/details/301
the problem is: how to do without the box otoplus?
sorry for me english. i'm italian
Same problem here mate... My phone is just booting for a second with LG Logo and stops. I'm waiting for an answer too. ^_^

non è lo stesso problema. il mio non si avvia. schermo è nero
It doesn't matter if you are a beginner. The driver install steps are the same. Once that is done correctly you can use fastboot or flash tool or whatever you want. I am simply suggesting what has worked for me. One way to get out of bootloop is to reflash. Another is to flash the correct bootloader.
Either way, if omap is blinking then the drivers are not installed correctly.
You may also need the LG drivers. That is why I say to start at the beginning.
you can sive it ifyou can enter download mod use lg support tool
and flashe it with mergency mod that method sive my p920 in this last weck end

My pc motherboard fried few days ago and[for things to be even worse] my android system was getting very unstable so I wanted to replace it and I did it in the same time as my mobo got fried..
Noooo....
So when I erased system in my twrp, the twrp became unresponsive and laggy, I couldnt do anything with it.
So now I said:"No prob I'll just reflash twrp and bootloaders with OS_Hackings tool..."
It wouldn't be the problem on my old WIN7 PC but now I didn't have it anymore so I had to use my old XP rig.Now we come to the problem, I get the exact same usb error(mine was 31 not 121 but the problems are related to drivers probably).So I installed OMAP4430 like always and when I start OS_Hackings tool it doesn't recognize the phone after "waiting 5sec"..I must say that I've done this many many many times before(on WIN7) but i couldn't get it to work on WIN XP no mater what I did.
In the end I updated to official v30A via offline kdz updater and flashed twrp and ics bootloaders with Xbsalls "rebooter".
Making rebooter work was pure luck because of that not-getting-into-fastboot problem but after 20tries it worked somehow..
Drivers are my bet and I really hate XP.XD
And yes, I used the same cable and battery on win7 and xp...
Edit:I forgot to say that when it says "waiting for 5sec" and I insert the battery, instead of phone getting into fastboot(grey logo and fastboot v.05 on displey) it just illuminates the four soft keys on the phone and gives me an error "USB_READ GOOT: 0, EXPECTED: 4, ERRNO: 31" on the PC.
If anyone knows what is the cause(and/or the solution) for this please tell us, I'll be very grateful.

If you wiped system in twrp and did not install a system or a rom with a system at that time, the phone can't boot because there is no system. You'd need to flash a .bin or .kdz.
Not sure if that's what you meant.
Just try after clearing or Resetting COM port. :good:
It may work sometimes...
Try this, i have also experience that on my phone, I thought that it's dead but good thing I unbrick it.
try to re-install all drivers and hardware in device manager. i.e. uninstall - reboot - reinstall
make sure your usb cable is good, the usb port of phone is good, the usb port of computer is good.
if you can't go to download mode, try the WKPARTS omap4boot and the tutorial made by xbsall. (credits to them)
It's not a very hard brick, its 1.25 fastboot that do this sometimes.
I have had this too, just use the earlier 1.16 or 1.11 bootloaders, it should work.

I thank you for your help.
I have 2 LGP920. one (A) works perfectly. the other (B) will not work.
the drivers are installed properly.
the problem is that during the fastboot (P920 (B) I can not go beyond the 2ndstage. WHILE I CAN WITH THE OTHER P920 (A)
