ROM for recovery G2X under the NVFLASH
This method necessary!
If the device is not loaded and not firmware in other ways! (If you downloaded the wrong firmware in the device)
I took the unpacked program files KDZ and added to them NVFlash and created BAT file!
Download ROM: http://www.mediafire.com/?wfokxjxi7rfoaey
Mirror: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C5LBU3DS
Download APX driver: http://www.mediafire.com/?k559zgjlqkd5ted
Installation Instructions:
Download both files
Unpack it to the C drive to their respective folder
Remove the battery
Hold Vol Up/Down (and keep them held)
Insert the USB cable
Install APX driver from the your APX folder
For windows 7(and vista? please confirm):
Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error
Right click on the APX device
Select 'Update driver software'
Select 'Let me pick...'
Select 'Have disk'
Browse to directory you extracted the APX Driver
Select the *entire* 'APX Driver' folder
Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC)
Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'
If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat
Unplug everything
Hold Vol Up/Down (and keep them held)
Insert USB cable
open your ROM folder:
Run Flash.bat file and wait for the process
After the logo appears on the LG phone
Unplug USB cable
Insert the battery
enjoy!
After that, I recommend to firmware device with help programms KDZ or LG Mobile Update
I'm confused as to what this is? I'm guessing stock rom flash through nv flash? Kind of like odin for samsung phones?

Can't wait to check this out when I get home later. Regarding the kdz file, what exactly were you able to unpack from it? I've been able to extract 2 files (a very large .wbd file and a .dll file) but I couldn't figure out how to unpack them further, specifically the .wdb file.

Can you post the DLL for the G2X so we can use the LG Utilities to unpack KDZ files for this device please. So far we have been unable to get the proper DLL that enables us to unpack these files. If you unpacked the KDZ you must have the DLL unless you used another method to extract the files from the KDZ. Please elaborate on how you accomplished this. Both phburks and I have been working on this and so far we have had no success.

It is for people that have mucked up their phones to the point where LG Updater and KDZ Flash are not possible. This can be caused by many issues including, but not limited to, people flashing the O2X baseband to a G2X device. This method is purported to flash the entire Gingerbread ROM at the lowest possible hardware level. Hopefully this method is legit, but nobody has confirmed they have done it yet with the exception of the OP. Yes it is similar to ODIN for the Samsung but operating at an even lower level. With the NVFlash capability Tegra2 devices are virtually unbrickable.

Yes. It is almost as good as JTAG flashing the device. For Galaxy S devices using ODIN you still have to have the 'software download' mode working in the ROM and it is possible to brick a Galaxy S beyond the point of even getting this mode to be accessible leaving you the only way to fix the device through disassembling it and flashing via the JTAG pads. Using the NVFlash method you are flashing directly to the hardware through they Hynix flashing chip. I had another phone with a similar capability (I-Mobile i858 - Yuhua Touchstone device) and no matter how badly I F'd it up (I was developing custom roms for it) I had the similar low level flashing tool that could reflash the phone to stock so I could start over with a clean slate. If this method is legit, this is a big boon to the dev community for this device.

So you got them after the LG Updater extracted the KDZ into its component files. phburks and I didn't get that far as we didn't want to connect our already updated devices to the updater. To get to the point you did where you could grab the individual files you would have had to click the start update button. Good work.
I have 7-zip on my computer but I am unable to open up the file I just downloaded. Can you put it in another format and upload to megaupload or mediafire please? I don't want to go through that Russian site again as I got an invalid download. Also, please post the baseband file as a separate download.

How about posting a mirror???? the site will not let me download.... unless i visit a sponsor and purchase something... lol
i'll try it out and report back
........... Works like a charm
here mirror link
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C5LBU3DS
What we really need is for someone to tell us how to create the config files for NVFlash so we can flash the baseband only. The new baseband is there and named 'P999_MDM.bin' if I am remembering correctly. No reason to flash an entire ROM when all someone wants is the updated baseband. If we can get the older baseband file also this tool could be used to revert the baseband also, if someone wanted to do that.

You don't have to buy anything. You just click on one sponsor site and it opens a new window. Thirty seconds later it will enable a download link. You need to click download two or three times if I remember correctly. I am at work now. I can mirror it in about ten hours if nobody else has done it yet. I looked at the files briefly and it looks legit.
Is this supposed to have a command interface? Or are you still typing in commands yourself?

Good question - that is what I am looking for rather then having to mess with the nvflash commands directly.
Update - this setup is similar to Paul's stock ROM recovery setup on modeco.com. As with his, you only have to "Run Flash.bat file and wait for the process". When I could not get off of the LGupdater screen by any other means, I ran this file from his post and it ran flawlessly - but of course I ended up with a 990's device. I tried to get back with other tools and firmware, but was never able to do it.
If this works OK, you would be able to restore your data, apps, or a nandroid and you are back in business.
I spent a week trying to restore my original (and best device as it turns out), so I am not going to fool with this right now myself. I did compare the config files from bot Paul's and this firmware and they are different - which looks real promising, as they are different.
HELP! I tried to use this and the tool failed, now I am getting ZERO response from the device. I can't even boot to APX. I'm freaking out right now!
EDIT: I managed to get the process restarted and the phone is in the process of rebooting. Hoping for the best.
EDIT 2: Phone booted up and it was all restored but for some reason the baseband was not updated :\
Did you run by using the flash.bat file? Did you hold volume up and down for the entire flash process?

Did you have old of new baseband on before flashing? What was the state of your G2X before running this?
UPDATE: It appears that this works - but would like to 100% confirm. After all the disasters that occurred from running the LGupdater tool, this would be an important fix and should be stickied at some point. Current members know of the updater problems, but new buyers and member may not - so many may still have this problem down the road.
Therefore, I believe this is an important enough item to bring to closure and make readily available.
U saved my phone's life
THANK YOU THANK YOU
followed instructions restored completley to stock just like how i got phone out of box 2 weeks ago.
I was running eaglesblood v8 and had altered the vold.fstab file to switch mounts
from sdcard to internal and after that point i rebooted and media scanner said damaged sd card well i figured it just to be like an extension of a permission of sorts. and thought if formated it would the paths would switch no problem.
im actually kind of having a hard time rembering exactly what steps i did take to **** it up royally. but went into clockwork 5 to flash another rom from internal storage or same i cant rember now and did factory reset then all hell broke loose .
couldnt mount nothing except for system i tried formating sd card even though i dont have one probally ended up formating internal lol. formated system,
re flashed all recoverie versions including stock. i was getting so mad i called google HA by the way they got some pretty good music when u have to hold.
only thing i didnt try was to load up a rom on sd card and mount that but i really doubt it would have worked and plus i couldnt even use phone to do it lol
i need to go buy drive saved me some serious cash I would say this should be enough confirmation!!
Finally managed to root my LG Prada P940 using the older version of SuperOneClick 1.7 after many tries from 2.3.3 & on... Just need to choose Exploit option rageagainstthecage instead of psneuter & hit on root!
Anyway, i don't really know what can i do with it besides uninstalling those pesky pre-installed apps. Hurhurhur.
Good luck!

Crazy that this one, I decided to try it and it works perfectly at the first time.

You just have to update the superuser and the binary as they are very old.

Maybe you can try to extract the apps you deleted from my first link, and push via ADB. I don't think you can flash the whole thing, but maybe someone can make it CWM-flashable.

Ok first step to step:
1. USB debugging must be on.
2. Start the Super One Click(run as admin on win7,win8)
3. Connect Prada to PC and choose battery charge only option.
4. When PC install all drivers hit the root button. If all goes well After 30sec you will get rooted phone.
It is recommended that before all this you have LG PC Suite installed. It is not important that LG PC Suite be active during rooting.
Please deactivate all antivirus aps on Your PC. After rooting you dont have to update superuser apk on your Prada. It will work perfect as it is.

Here are the files and instructions to get root and CWM on a Samsung Conquer 4G with the FC17 update. To enter Download Mode on the phone, make sure the phone is turned off and plugged into the wall charging. You should also make sure the phone has a good charge on it. Then turn the phone on by pressing the volume down and camera button and holding them while pressing the power button for a few seconds.
Here are the files you will need -
CONQUER-ROOT.zip
Unzip all the files on your computer and follow these steps.
1) Enter download mode on the phone and plug it into your computer. Open up the Odin program. Then press the OPS button and select the SPH-D600_FC17_CWM.ops file. Then press the PDA button and select the SPH-D600_FC17_CWM.tar.md5 file. The press the Start button, the images should install and the phone reboot. Congrats, your phone now has a stock FC17 image with a CWM Recovery.
2) Next, copy the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip and su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip files to the root of your SD Card after booting up.
3) Once the phone boots up, go into settings, select Applications, then Development, then turn on USB debugging. Now you can restart the phone into recovery mode with adb. If you don't want to use adb, you can plug the phone into the wall and turn it on while holding the volume down and power button. Either way is fine, as long as you now get the phone into recovery mode.
4) The phone should now go into CWM recovery. Go to install zip from sdcard and select the Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip file you put on the sdcard and install that. Next select the su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip file from your sdcard and install that.
5) Congratulations, you now have a rooted phone with the FC17 update. If you had CWM installed before, you can now do an advanced back-up, and just restore the data from your most recent backup and get all your data back.

I know on the E4GT, sfhub is able to make tar's that do not wipe user data. The file difference between the 2 images are
removed: boot.bin, sbl.bin, param.lfs, cache.img, data.img
intact: recovery.bin, hidden.img, factoryfs.img(largest file) modem.bin and zImage(contains the kernel)
The Question I'm posing to you is which of the files in the conquer tar.md5 might be the counterparts to the above files, making them the ones to strip out in order to make it not wipe data?
My wife never wanted me to root her phone until recently, so no cwm backup that's pre-OTA, and there are some apps that don't work when re-installed (a security key-gen app)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Take out userdata.yaffs to retain your data, BUT you will have to rebuild the tar file and remake the OPS file by removing the line that reads -
Code:
9,userdata
If you need the Linux commands to rebuild the image, let me know.

Just install Cygwin and use that and then extract all the files out of the .md5 file, it's just a regular tar file with md5 sums in it. WinZip, WinRAR, etc. will easily extract the files from it. Then use these commands to rebuild the image without the userdata.yaffs file.
tar -H ustar -c adsp.mbn amss.mbn appsboot.mbn boot.img cache.yaffs mibib osbl recovery.img system.yaffs > package_name.tar
md5sum -t package_name.tar >> package_name.tar

Thanks for your help, took me a bit, because I mistakenly flashed the non-CWM image first, and the bootloader version just wasn't letting me in. Luckily I have a jig for my SGS2, and I'm up and running now. Hopefully just the fact that it's the full image, rather than OTA upgraded will fix some of the issues she's been having. If not, then having root gives me so many more troubleshooting options.

i got the phone to be read but now when i hit the start button a window pops out says "unnamed file is not found"
It worked for me.
Question
I have been reading up on this phone since I ordered it from my new provider. I should get the phone sometime later today and wanted to get everything ready to root it as soon as I get it. I've read JWhip804's tutorial on how to root the Conquer. I've also been keeping up with chrystal0925's efforts at making a working themed ROM.
My question is, if I want to have a recovery of my stock phone just in case I have to send it back to my carrier, should I use the method described in this thread or use JWhip804's thread?
I have a brand new Samsung Conquer SPHD600BKS on the Sprint network using a new provider to my area called Ting.
Android Version: 2.3.4
Baseband Version: S: D600.12 x.EG15
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-perf
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.EG15
Hardware Version: D600.12
Thanks.

Super-One-Click only works on EC15, and you can not do an OTA update to FC17 with root, and once you do update to FC17, Super-One-Click will no longer work to root your phone, so you must use the method I have made in this thread, or a similar one to it. You MUST get a stock FC17 image with the CWM recovery to push root onto your phone, as the OTA update has recovery updating scripts, etc. in it, and it's just easier to use the FC17 image and not bother with making the OTA able to be rooted. In order to get the phone back to a stock image, you can easily find the stock Odin image that is floating around, or change the recovery image in the Odin file I have in this thread, with a stock recovery image.

I just finished backing up my Conquer using this guide. It was really easy. Thanks.
Hi guys. Anyone use tethering with this? I had tethering working on the old rom fine and another unrooted phone with the ota update. I got a replacement phone and tethering does not work. It only works for google sites - with any tethering app i tried. Is it the hardware or maybe its the stock fc17? I tried reflashing and clearing everything and the problem persists.
I tried using Odin today to root my Samsung Conquer and had a bit of trouble. When I attached the .tar file it gave me an error but as I read this thread I just kept going as if there was no issue. About half way through the Odin installation my phone just rebooted, I tried again and it rebooted it the same spot. I tried putting my phone back into download mode and continue the process, which it did, and I got a "Pass" message at the end. But I don't have CWM and I'm almost positive its still not rooted. Any suggestions?
Any chance of an update with the new OTA included?

There is a new ota fe17. Does anyone know if it will break root? Will it install?

Solved: stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode
So you are stuck on the dreaded " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen and there is nothing you can do to get your phone to start normally or even get to the download screen?
Fret not lads & ladies, I've already gone thru the pain and suffering and have come out new man, and I'll tell you how I did it. Also im starting all the way at linux/mac so everyones included.
First things first, you are going to have to get your computer ready with the right software for it to work.
You will need to make sure you get an original stock rom, make sure your source forwhere you download it is credible, this was my first mistake and why evidently I got myself into this mess.
I'm sure other roms might work that are modified for your device, but I suggest stock, and starting fresh just to make sure everything is up and running.
I am not responsible for your device, it may get bricked if done wrong.
Linux & Mac users first.
1. You will need to downloadable a program called Hiemdall, its a program similar to Odin3 (windows program).
2. You will need to extract the stock rom you downloaded earlier, I suggest to a folder in your desktop, wd will call it "folder1".
3. Now open up Hiemdall in root, (sudo Hiemdall-frontend for terminal) and then make sure device is on and stuck on the " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" screen, plug it in, then press the utilities tab and detect. ($ Heimdall detect)(terminal users). Make sure you do all this fast because the tablets are kinda funny when they stay connected.
4. Now clickthe Utilities tab then the "save as..." button and save the destination for the .pit file in the same location as the extracted stock rom folder (folder1).
5. Next click the Flash tab, and click browse and locate your .pit file, the one you just downloaded. Next click add under Partition (files), and then change the partion name (On the left hand under patition details) to recovery and browse to the extracted folder (folder1) and click and add the recovery.img and press start.
Now if all went well your tablet will have restarted itself and you have seen the logo (Samsung). but the chances are it wont load past that screen, but thats ok because now you can get your device into download mode and re-flash the whole rom. Do this the same way you did the recovery.img, but make sure you add each new one to the correct name in the partitions details section.
Now if this didnt work, then dont worry you can still join the windows crew and do it hat way. Simple download a program called virtualbox and get a windows xp iso, thats up to you to figure out as I deal with open source only O.S
So aftr you do that just load up the virtualbox with windows xp and follow below. I found it a bit easier as well.
Windows users....
I found this way to be pretty simple and straight forward,
1. Download Odin 1.3 (1.85 wasn't working for me)
2. Download the clockworkrecoveryMod
3. Open up Odin and browse in the PDA section for the CWM you downloaded and add it, next plug in your device and the box should turn yellow on the top left.
4. Press start and let it finish and reboot your device and you should now be able to boot into CWM and re flash a rom, or if you were smart just restore from a previous backup and get all the apps and stuff back too.
I dont know why cwm worked but it did so no complaints, just make sure you go into cwm and backup your device and with titanium (google play app) before you start playing with the root.
I did this and it worked for me, so hopefully it did for you. Im sorry if it didnt but dont get down, j6st be patient and ask and someone will help.
The key is getting the recovery.img to flash on I believe and maybe the cwm has it built in the package, im sure someone can shed some light on it.

If you can reach to the CWM recovery mode: Download firmware in zip form, you can get it from the below link. if you have a zip file leave it.
After obtaining the firmware copy to your external sdcard using a card reader or any other method
In recovery mode select "Instal zip from sdcard" then select "choose zip from external sdcard" then select the copied firmware zip file from the list and wait for completion
After completion go back and select "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" reboot . it will take some time for reboot atleat 15min. it worked for me. hope it will work for you. good luck

Hi! Do you still having the CWM and Odin 1.3?
Hi.. I was experiencing this problem. Then without even thinking deeply, I try google any solution regarding this matter without referring to this thread first. I found this guys solution as he said it is for all samsung model.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jfgq6bYfKLg
After done flashing, my tab giving a samsung logo and went off until now. I was unable to enter the recovery and download mode. I try to connect the tab with PC but it kept reconnecting repetitively although universal samsung usb driver has been installed. Any idea how to solve this?
As of 28/12/2013, I no longer have this phone. My threads will stay open for all who want to assist others. I've had a great time being a member of the O3D community, so thank you all!
For questions, requests or any other remarks, please don't send me PM, I will not answer. Instead, please post properly in the thread, so that anybody can read and benefit or even assist.
Using the LG Flashtool has never been to my liking. So, as soon as I read about the new ICS for P920, I dug up my hard drive for that nice little tool that had beautifully served me back in the ghost-calls days to easily flash back and forth Froyo and Gingerbread! After successfully upgrading once more, this time to ICS, I decided to write this guide.
DISCLAIMER: This procedure is NOT for the faint hearted! If something goes wrong and you fry your device, I cannot be held responsible. Hundreds of people have successfully upgraded (or downgraded) their devices using this guide. If something doesn't work for you then you're doing something wrong! Read the guide again and find what you've been missing.
I'm always open to suggestions. So, if you feel like I should have described some part in a different way, please say so. Of course, this means that from time to time, as new suggestions come in, I will edit parts of the guide to make it as helpful and understandable as possible. So, if you are planning to flash, stay tuned for the latest info.
Links to KDZ files
- Leaked EURO beta P920V28B_00.kdz (rename it to V28B_00.kdz)
- EURO OPEN V30A_00.kdz
- SPAIN Vfone V30B_00.kdz
- You can actually use any KDZ firmware for the P920
Flashing Part 1 (What you need):
A. Download and install LGUnitedMobileDriver attached at the end of this post.
B. Download and unzip KDZ_Flashing_Software.zip attached at the end of this post.
C. From the folder you just unzipped, install LG Mobile Support Tool (B2CAppsetup.exe). Quit the application after installation has completed.
D. Right-click on msxml 4.0 SP3 parser.msi and select Install.
E. BACKUP your data including the contents of your internal SD to your PC, especially if you're upgrading from ported SU760 ROM, cause it may be erased!!!
F. (Win7+ users only) Open the properties of the UpTestEX.exe and Windows Enabler.exe, enable XPSP3 compatibility mode and Admin rights and click OK.
Flashing Part 2 (Procedure):
1. Run "Windows Enabler.exe" and turn it on by clicking on its taskbar icon.
2. From the folder you unzipped previously, run UpTestEX.exe and select 3GQCT and CS_EMERGENCY
3. Select the KDZ file you want to flash.
4. Put your phone in S/W download mode
... To do this, you need to shutdown phone and connect USB. To make sure phone is off, press power for about 10sec. While keeping Vol-Up pressed, press power for about 3sec. After you hear the USB connection sound on the PC, you may release Vol-Up. (Depending on your bootloader, you may see the Korean S/W screen, or your screen may remain black). If this is the first time, let the PC install drivers.
5. Now click on "Normal web upgrade test" (don't click on "Start Upgrade").
6. In the new window that opens, click on "Upgrade Start".
7. Select "Different Country" and your preferred language and hit "OK".
8. Flashing has now started. Wait until you see the following...
Code:
...
...
14:37:21 : CDMA: wParam = 2004, lParam = 99
14:37:21 : Model Dll Msg Not Found(2004, 99)
14:37:23 : CDMA: wParam = 2004, lParam = 100
14:37:23 : Model Dll Msg Not Found(2004, 100)
14:37:23 : CDMA: wParam = 2001, lParam = 0
14:37:23 : Model Dll Msg Not Found(2001, 0)
(It is normal to hear the USB disconnection sound before flashing is finished. DO NOT INTERRUPT before you see the above log!)
Wait until the updater has finished.
9. Exit the tool and remove USB cable.
10. Power on the phone to see that everything works.
Factory Reset
It is not necessary but advisable to do a Factory Reset at this point, so make sure you have made a copy the contents of your Internal SD to your computer and go to System Settings/Backup & reset/Factory data reset. Select "Erase Internal Memory" and press "Reset phone".
IMPORTANT: Do not try to do the factory reset as described above after you have flashed a custom recovery. You may end up in a "recovery loop"! Instead, you can boot into your custom recovery and do the reset from there!
How to root:
There are three methods that I know of. You are free to select the one that suits you best, but Baidu is my personal favourite and can be used on other devices too.
BAIDU EASY ROOT APK (any ROM - Easiest way)
Make sure you have USB Debugging and Unknown Sources enabled.
Turn off all Internet communications (mobile data and WiFi).
Attached at the end of this post you will find the app. Just install it as a normal apk and run it. If you forgot to turn off Internet, it will ask you to upgrade. Don't let it, because the newer version will be in Chinese! Sometimes, the app may exit after you refuse to update, so be quick to hit the "root'' button before it asks.
In about a minute you will have root access. I would then recommend you to go to PlayStore and install SuperSu, run it and let it replace the su binary.
After that, you can uninstall Baidu root.
VROOT ON PC (ICS only)
Read this excellent guide by OptimusRS
FLASHABLE ZIP (any ROM)
1. Download Su_Bbox_1.20.2_gazhead_signed.zip and save it somewhere in your SD card
2. Use OS_Hacking's tool to install Wkpark's v1.25a ICS bootloader (read here if you need more help with the tool). After this step, your boot-up LG logo will be silver!
3. With the same tool install a GB recovery. (ICS recoveries are only for xbsall's ported SU760 ROM, they can't read your internal SD - Read here for an in-depth analysis)
4. Boot into recovery
5. Flash the zip from step (1) and reboot. Check your apps drawer, you should now have Superuser app.
6(optional). Now that you have root access, if you want, you can restore the Stock Bootloaders and Recovery (you can't have a custom kernel with stock bootloader). Download Stock_ICS_btldr-recov.zip (attached to this post). Reboot to recovery and flash it. Reboot. Now you have a rooted ICS with stock bootloaders and stock recovery!
Additional reading about bootloaders and recoveries. This is important info. If you understand it, you will avoid lots of problems when flashing.
Troubleshooting:
1. If you shutdown your phone from the power menu, it will turn back on by itself. This is a bug in Wkpark's 1.25a bootloader. If you want to completely shut your phone, just keep power pressed for about 10sec as soon as it starts to reboot.
2. To boot to recovery, Shut your phone down as described above. Keep Vol-down pressed and press Power for about 4sec. Release Vol-down when you see the silver LG logo. If this doesn't work, there is also another way. Again shut your phone completely. Keep Vol-down + 3D pressed and press Power for about 4sec. You will see a menu with three options. The last one will be -Recovery and it will be preselected. Release keys. In a few sec the phone will reboot to recovery. Remember that the O3D is quite stubborn and may not boot to recovery every time. Keep trying and it will work eventually!
3. I mentioned above the possibility to get into a recovery loop (your phone boots only to recovery). I have made a flashable zip to break this loop and boot back to android. Just download P920_ICS_RecoveryLoop_Breaker.zip (attached at the end of this post) to your computer. While your phone is in recovery, connect it via USB, select to mount SD to computer and copy the zip. Eject from computer and flash the zip. Reboot. After booting into system, you'll have to flash a new recovery (e.g. from ROM Manager or OS_Hacking's Tool).
4. Losing IMEI is something that doesn't normally happen when flashing KDZ files. It happens sometimes when flashing BIN/FLS. I suspect that flashing a KDZ with this guide after you have lost your IMEI will actually fix it! This remains to be proven (feedback please). Another way that has been confirmed to work is to run LG Mobile Support Tool, connect your phone in S/W download mode and select "Recovery Phone" from the "Customer Support" menu. A popup will appear asking for the IMEI. You need to type the correct one (it's written beneath the battery). The tool will then download and flash the latest official firmware for your country/provider fixing IMEI at the same time.

- Black-Byte.de, Me2freedom and Woodpeckerlo for testing on Win7+
- LG for the Support tool, PC Suite and drivers (but you have already paid for those) LOL!
Agree that LG Flashtool is a joke. However, smartflash is great if you aren't doing a baseband.
This ROM has all 3D features?
Tks so much!

Yes!

The LG Flash Tool is not so bad for all of us who are used to it because we had to downgrade/upgrade ROMs during that dreadful ghost-calls era.
And according to many reports here, the LG Flash Tool /kdz method, is the most reliable when flashing the new v28b ICS rom.
I'm still not sure about the step 3 though and flashing a GB recovery instead of a ICS one, like many people did already. It may be that the "recovery loops" are cause by the bootloaders and not the ICS recoveries but this has to be confirmed.
I think you may need to replace the KDZ file name as V28B_00.KDZ.
Do i need to install wkparks boot loader if i don't want to root the phone?
And does the IMEI Change after flashing v28 via kdz?

Hi,
i've tried your guide step by step. But i'm stuck at the part 6, i'm waiting nearly 30 min with an "MOD UpTestEX MFC Application doesn't work" (translated by me) messagebox and at the taskmanager the memory usage doesn't change since the messagebox. Only the phone heats a little bit.
I have done this twice. Second try after a clean reboot and start as admin but this doesn't help.
After this the phone is unchanged.
Any advice ?

Perhaps it doesn't work with the updated drivers. Google for "LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3. 2.1", uninstall your drivers and install these. I will try to upload later when I get home.
Edited 1st post just to be sure.

Very good manual. 10x for the work. :good:
is there any reason to be GB? I have installed ICS CWM touch with the same tool and still work.

It's because we are now using the standard P920 (GB) partition table again, so ICS recoveries won't read your Internal SD Card!

I've downgraded but it doesn't change his behavior. Could the OS (win7 64bit) be the problem ? I found old guides where they use XP.

You could be right. I also used XP! Have you tried compatibility settings?

OK! Sorry for the trouble. I will update 1st post! I guess you have to find an XP machine or use a virtual machine or simply use LG Flashtool! You may also use Smartflash for the system (bin), but not for the baseband (fls).

Driver:
Attached here is the driver i used. It may also work if you install drivers from the Support Tool. I need your feedback here.
