Hi to all,
Been here for a while and every time i log here in XDA (O3D forum), I always see new people bricking their newly bought O3D (stuck on LG Screen..., rebooting only to cwm recovery.., etc..etc..). If you got into a situation just do the search thing before posting a new topic which is already been posted because our forum (O3D Community) is still small so searching wouldn’t be a problem and there’s no need for a dig yet when reading all the topics posted here. All i can say is for all the people who just bought O3D always remember this "If it aint broke then don’t fix it" you will just end up voiding your warranty,
if there’s an update don’t try to push it on your warranted device, try to check first if the update is applicable to your device (country or region) because we all know that LG only released O3D in Europe so if you are in that place and check that your devices have an update, go grab it, but when it fails always call LG Europe (because you have a warranted device and they will assist you) and explain to them that you are experiencing difficulties in updating your unit, and for everyone else who is not in Europe (like me were my unit is not warranted)be very careful if you want to forcefully push that update to your unit (v10b, v10d or even cwm 4.0.0.9) because me i already bricked my device 3 times were i end up booting only in LG and nothing follows, the other is booting only to CWM again and again, and the last one is after unbricking the device and setting everything then when rebooting the unit it will end up stuck at the LG original android recovery system <3e>menu.
Note: Do this procedure at your own risk, i repeat "AT YOUR OWN RISK", its your unit so its your responsibility, you've been warned, i myself grab that risk and now I’m happy with my unbricked O3D (v10d July, 8, 2011 with fully working CWM 4.0.0.9), all the tools we need are here at XDA so there will be no problem getting those tools.
Ok enough about nonsense(hahaha), lets go down to business. As what the Title says, here we go.
Requirements:
This method will only work in WINDOWS XP MACHINE, i have tried it in Vista and Windows 7 but it will just hung.
I assume that all the necessary drivers are already installed from your machine because without them you can’t bricked your O3D. If by any means you don’t have it, just grab it from http://www.lg.com/uk/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp and click the download link save it then run it after installing, it will run automatically, then do the following:
1. Go to Customer Support ---> Application, Manual & USB Driver Download.
2. Enter you IMEI then click the Search button.
3. After Searching, it will list two files form the File List, double click any of those file (me, i choose the file with divX converter)
4. After downloading, it will extract its content to C:\LGP920
5. Go to this directory C:\LGP920\USB_Driver, and double click LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN33AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.3
6. Let it finish then if it ask to restart your pc, do it.
7. Optionally you can install the LGPCSuite, it can be found in c:\LGP920\LGPCSuite\, just double click the LG_PCSuiteIV_Setup.exe and follow the instruction.
Now that we have installed the drivers for O3D, we can move on to the next instruction.
Make sure to follow the instruction carefully and proceed if you know what your doing.
I have edited nikhil4186 and victortangocharlie post (Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060121)
1. Detach all other peripherals from your PC. Exit all running applications on your PC especially other PC suites if any. Also exit running programs from the notification bar on the desktop. (Also uninstall Nokia or other phone drivers & microsoft visual ++ runtime environments - not an essential step.)
2. [IMPORTANT] Disable 'LGE Virtual Modem' in PC's Device Manager. (In your Windows operating system, go to Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Right click on LGE Virtual Modem and click Disable.).
3. Remove the Micro SD from your O3D.
4. Download the KDZ rom v10b_00 posted by Fab985 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1155874
(v10d_00 is already available but this method is only tested with the v10b_00 rom, so if you wanna try your luck, its up to you)
5. Download the KDZ updater - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8651505&postcount=1
6. Extract it, then run the msxml.msi
7. Now the next step will be crucial because you need a full battery (for safety of course if you don’t want your unit to die while in the middle of the unbricking process) and you will put your unit in emergency mode (by pressing the power button and the volume up button), here’s how you will do it.
Case A. (This is my Case)
If your O3D can boot but only in CWM, charge it (me, i charge mine for 3hours in cwm), you wont see a charging status but you will feel your battery getting warmer.
Case B. (Never happen to me)
If your unit is just stuck at LG logo, try to charge it too and see if your battery is getting warmer, if not, better find another way to charge your battery or a friend who has O3D and borrow the battery.
Once everything is ok proceed to step 8.
8. Open Device Manager and under Modems check if you really disable the LGE Virtual Modem, if it is already disabled don’t close Device Manager, we will need it on the next step. Make sure you can see your Device Manager window and your modems devices are expanded (were you can see the disabled LGE Virtual Modem)
(THIS IS THE TRICKY PART AND YOUR O3D WILL JUST STAY BLACK SCREEN)
9. Plug your USB cable to your pc and then plug it to your phone then enter Emergency MODE (power button plus volume up button) This step is very tricky (me, i tried it several times before it detect my O3D as LG USB modem).
First when your pc detects your O3D, it will detect as OMAP4 then it will look for its drivers, just cancel it, then another device will be detected, if you successfully entered Emergency mode, your O3D will be detected as LG USB Modem, this modem should stay, if it disappear then you failed to enter the emergency mode correctly, try it again before continuing to the next step.
10. Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe from the extracted folder.
11. Put the following settings:
Type : 3GQCT PhoneMode : DIAG
12. Under the KDZ File, choose the KDZ file you've downloaded from Fab985 post (v10b_00)
13. Press the Launch software update. (this part will take time because it will extract the kdz file into cab file, it took me 15 to 20 mins before it proceed to the updating process)
14. Once updating has started you will encounter this message:
CDMA: wPrama = 2004, IParam = 1
Model Dll Msg Not Found(2004, 1)
This message will come out from 1 to 100 counts:
CDMA: wPrama = 2004, IParam = 1
Model Dll Msg Not Found(2004, 1)
CDMA: wPrama = 2004, IParam = 2
Model Dll Msg Not Found(2004, 2)
And so on till:
CDMA: wPrama = 2004, IParam = 100
Model Dll Msg Not Found(2004, 100)
(Note: This message is case to case because i experienced diff counts then the LG USB MODEM disappear from the device manager list, first attempt count 64 then LG USB Modem disappear from the list, the kdz flasher stops from count 64, waited up to 10 minutes but nothing happens so tried it again from the enter emergency mode step, second attempt count 76 LG USB modem disappear but after a while kdz flasher still continues up to 100 counts then it stop there, waited for 5 minutes nothing happens so decided to remove my device and turn it on and viola it booted to LG original Android system recovery <3e>)
15. After you reach the 100 counts, the process is done, the LG USB modem from the Device manager will be gone, but don’t remove yet your phone to reboot it, try to wait up to 5 minutes before disconnecting your phone.
16. Turn on your O3D, if it boots in LG original android recovery, just choose the wipe data/factory reset, then reboot system now. Then if it is successfully booted to android continue to setup your device but after the initial setup, don’t install or do anything yet, reboot your device again then see if it will reboot back to android, if yes, you’re done, your O3D is again alive and don’t bricked it again, if not proceed to step 17.
17. If it comes back again to recovery after booting then wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition then reboot system now.
18. Turn on your O3D, then if it is successfully booted to android continue to setup your device but after the initial setup, don’t install or do anything yet, reboot your device again then see if it will reboot back to android, if yes, you’re done, your O3D is again alive and don’t bricked it again, if not proceed to step 19.
19. If it comes back again to recovery after booting then wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, and lastly wipe nv dynamic partition then reboot system now. (this part resolve my rebooting issue)
20. Turn on your O3D, then if it is successfully booted to android continue to setup your device but after the initial setup, don’t install or do anything yet, reboot your device again then see if it will reboot back to android, if yes, you’re done, your O3D is again alive and don’t bricked it again, if not I guess it’s the end of the line for now.
Sorry for this very long instruction. If it helps you I don’t have a beer fund because I’m not a dev. but a simple hit with thanks will do.....
TIPS NOT RELATED TO UNBRICKING:
Rooting:
Run SuperOneClick as Administrator, before clicking Root, click first the Driver Check and if no problem has been detected, no more settings is required just click the Root button then wait until it says done or finish.
ClockWorkMod:
After rooting, download rom manager from the market, after the install run it and tap Flash ClockworkMod Recovery (4.0.0.9), once successful you may now backup your current rom before you mess again with it, since I installed cwm in my O3D I never use the buttons to boot with it(power button plus volume down button), I always use the menu's with the rom manager to boot into or backup or restore or flash in CWM.
Upgrading:
For safety purposes, if you have a warranted device and then an update pops out, always do a fresh start, what I mean is if you already rooted your device and installed CWM, better removed it first before updating your O3D so when things goes wrong from your update process you can always call LG for it to be fix eliminating the needs to post something like “Help I brick my O3D and I can’t bring it to LG because I installed CWM blah blah blah etc.. etc…”, got the point so be responsible.

Did you follow the whole step, I know its a long process and it work with me, just follow everything and when you are in step 9 were you need to enter emergency mode,its a tricky step,make sure LG Mobile update is not running completely,open your pc device manager and expand the modems,try to remove the battery then press volume up and power button, put the usb cable then put back the battery,it will vibrate then your xp machine will detect it as omap4 device just cancel it but don't de-press the volume up and power button,then after a while it will vibrate again check if you see LG usb modem in the device manager,once you saw it and it stays,it means you successfully entered emergency mode then that will be the time you will run the kdz flasher and follow the succeeding steps.

I have bricked my phone numerous times, and in many imaginative ways. The above instructions are pretty much what I do whenever it gets stuck in some non-functional mode.
I tried this way like 30 times during the last week, I just got back from holiday and I just tried it on a Win XP machine and it's always the same it flashes and it never reboots, V10B/D doesn't matter... After flashing I manually power it on, and only get the Firmware update screen and it hangs there forever... I called LG today waiting for a replacement.
@aremcee
Sir thanks for confirming that this method really works.
@wuper @renegade_rulez
Are you doing it in xp machine, if you run it in Windows 7 the process will just fail. Only disable the LG virtual modem from your pc device manager and completely exit LG PcSuite and LG Mobile update. Make sure your xp machine detects your O3D as LG USB MODEM and not omap4 device, the detected LG usb modem should stay in your device manager under modem and it should be enable then you can now start kdz flasher. Will try to investigate what causing your O3D not to flash using the kdz flasher and if I have time will upload a video on how to properly enter emergency mode.
@all
Thanks for reading this, if you have a question just post it here and will try to answer it back as knowledgeable as I can.

if you can try this and make the phone work that means we are doing sth wrong:
1) install clockwork via rom manager
2) install update via settings telephone software update
3) after installing this update the phone stuck at clockwork recovery and all reboot is turning to this screen
4) flash 10b or 10d through kdz or lg mobile, it will stuck at firmware update screen as picture shown as attached
we try as u said on xp machine several times and device manager opened lg usb modem was there till the process finished after that it get lost and I waited 5 minutes and exit kdz and start manually, nothing..
(the attachment picture is turkish, it is written firmware is updating above and the phone will restart after finishing firmware update below)
PS_U_A_John stated in other topic he can flash a phone that is clockwork installed, that shows clockwork is not the problem, I think clockwork and our installed phone update and after flashed kdz rom are colliding each other and phone could not restart.

Hi wuper,
Can you try after flashing then turn on your device to recovery by pressing volume down + power button, or remove your battery then put it back while pressing those buttons, will it go to android recovery system <3e>?, if yes try to wipe everything then reboot. let me know. thanks.
Like wuper just told, mine is the same... It's not fixable in that way. Again this morning I tried on my XP pc and it's always the same. Just called LG again they will replace it within 24h we will see
update:
You cannot get into the recovery system, holding power + volume down the phone will power on and off again, releasing power when it boots and keeping volume down pressed gets the Firmware update screen.
same for me cannot enter recovery
Hi, I had a bricked optimus 3d, after the installing the cwm recovery I couldn't turn it on, it would always go into the cwm recovery, no mater how I turned it on.
So I followed your "how to" on an xp pc, and I was able to flash the v10b fw.
Everything went like you described it: the counter reached the 100, I waited about 6minutes after that to turn it on, after that it would go straight to the android factory recovery (the one with the blue letters), and to phone won't boot up.
So I made a factory reset, than reboot, but nothint happened, then factory reset and wipe cache partition, than reboot, but I was still getting the recovery.
Then I made a factory reset, wipe cache partition and wipe nv dynamic partition, and then reboot, but the phone instead of rebooting turned itself off.
I turned it on, but it said, that the battery was almost empty, and needs a recharge (strange, because it was fully charged).
I pluged it on the charger, and the sign of a totaly empty battery was showed.
I left it for a couple of hours and the hole night, but the empty battery sign was still there.
I tried to turn on the phone, it booted up normaly, everything was ok, the phone was working again, but the battery was completely empty.
I bought 2 original replacement batterys, but the result is still the same.
So, can someone help me what went wrong, why does any battery work?
Why won't they charge?
I think that it has something to do with the last item I wiped, the nv dynamic partition, because after that the phone hasn't rebooted, but turned off.
What sould I do?
And no, unfortunately I don't have warranty on my phone.

Hi Zirowe,
Hmm thats strange, you and dnardz have the same problem, wiping the nv dynamic partition solved my rebooting issues and didnt experience this battery not charging problem, try to root your phone and install clockwork recovery 4.0.0.9 then reboot to cwm and full wipe your O3D including the battery stats, then charge your phone again and see if it is charging(maybe two hours), if it still doesn't work, download the v101d cmw rom by PUAJohn and restore it. Let me know

-Wait 1 hour
sorry I do not see much solution
It didn't work on mine also...restoring 10d and erasing battery stats..
Hello friends,
Please help me. I rooted my phone Tipo (Android updated to latest), Installed the startup manager. Permissions denied app. I denied permissions to a few games and apps. and then locked, then reboot through it. Now my phone starts for few seconds. When I unlock the screen and try to touch something, it hangs and shuts down immediately and restarts after a minute. This restarting is Cycling continuously.
I am removed the battery to stop the restart cycles.
I think its time to flash the phone manually. Its only phone I have right now.
Can you help me? Please show me a post, or link that will guide me with manual flashing.

first thing you need is flash tool .download from here http://androxyde.github.com/ download and install it
then you need a stock firmware download it from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001567
copy it to the flashtool/firmware (where you install flashtool)
install the drivers from the drivers folder inside flashtool
you are ready to flash the firmware(make sure there is no other file in firmware folder exept you mobile's firmware)
1. start the flashtool
2. click on lighting bolt button
3. choose flashmode
4. make sure wipe data and wipe cache are checked
5.click ok
6. after flashtool prepairs files for flashing ( it will told you to unplug and press back button and plug it in BUT YOU HAVE TO UNPLUG YOUR MOBILE,, SWITCH IT OFF(I KNOW ITS ALREADY SWITCHED OFF) PRESS AND HOLD VOLUME DOWN KEY WHILE PLUGING IN YOUR MOBILE
when flash process starts release the volume down key
7. wait for flashing process complete .. .(it will stuck at 94% for just few seconds don't worry )
after flashing process complete switch on your mobile.....good luck
after flashing if you want to root it ..follow the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1978
check the attchments..for screens
Hey Moderator,
Please remove or lock this post or something, just in case if it is not appropriate here.
The phone was a Brick who was constantly saying nothing other than "Look I am not a Brick".
I solved the problem. The Sony PC companion did not do anything. Using the old Update Service I reinstalled the phone software. Now it is completely renewed. Touch issues also seem to be gone. ))

Looks like you did it right so far! Try keeping your phone disconnected untill the last moment (after you press the start button) .
Then take the battery out of your phone wait 5 sec and put it back in. Hold the volume UP button while you connect it to your
computer (dont let go) (Also you should have already pressed the start button before this). If it starts to download you can let
go of the volume up. Tell me how it works for you :good:

I noticed that without 'nvitem.bin' ResearchDownload doesn't work. It gives error without this file. I used one random pac file and it started downloading but failed after FDL2 file. Particulars of my handset are given below:
Model - Callbar A1
Android - 2.3.5
Kernal Version – 2.6.35.7
Software version – 2.3.001.P1.12065
Hardware version – P1
CPU – SC6820 (1 Ghz.)
Screen – 3.5” HVGA
At the moment I ve lost both Fastboot and CWM Modes. Unfortunately I formatted boot partition and thereafter I lost both modes.

Could be that you have the wrong FDL files for you device. There is a simple solution to finding out which ones works for your phone.
Download this . Then try to flash FDL1 and a FDL2 and see if it works. If not go the to next FDL2 and so on until you find one that works.
Then use those.

I'm not sure about these specs as they don't go into enough depth for me to really see what phone you have. A build.prop will do if you
have a backup of it.

Please give link to FDL files. There is none in your reply. Any way, what are FDL files??? What they tell ResearchDownload to do???
I had taken backup of build.prop earlier but at the moment I am unable to locate it on my PC. I cleaned my PC few days back and removed all junk...!!!

One of these are bound to work. Its a archive of nearly every FDL file avalible. I'm actually not quite sure what they do.
I think they must be some sort of preloader for the phone or something.
Also have you made a backup? Its very important.

I am new to Android. Flashed CWM. Phone rebooted. Then I went to CWM for backup. It refused to mount sdcard. I changed the card but same result. I flashed another CWM. Phone rebooted. Again went to CWM... it was working although inverted screen. As sdcard had low spaced. I again rebooted phone to take out my data from sdcard through PC. At that time I also uninstalled some apps. After making enough room on sdcard, I rebooted phone but it didn't.
Then I went into CWM mode and being noob formatted boot partition and Voila 'Phone is DEAD'. I ve boot image available with me which works a bit.... BUT how can I flash it again without fastboot mode. Its simply not powering up becuase all data for booting phone has lost due to formatting of boot partition.
Can you guide me how to flash boot.img on dead phone without fastboot mode??? Atleast it will give it some life... May be not fully working but atleast I can get Fastboot and CWM Modes.

Well flashing a boot image may not give it a cwm recovery because in spreadtrum recovery has its own img.
Also flashing this rom may not work for your phone because it could be a different phone. You can email me
and [email protected] so i can help you .

I know there is 'Recovery' Partition in Android. The Stock Recovery has already been flashed by CWM Recovery. But What went wrong... I only formatted boot partition then why it stopped booting into CWM, if it has nothing to do with boot partition.
I am mailing you. Check ur mail.

UPDATE
Original Stock ROM of CallBar Mobiles is available on following official link.
Millions of Thanks to Company's Sales Head Officer in my country to whom I talked on Mobile. He was kind enough to spare his precious time and guided me to download StockRom and flash it properly. Without naming him on this public portal, I would like to tell that he is Great Person.
There are 3 Stock ROMs for Models CallBar A1, CallBar A2 and CallBar Tab7 available under the Modem Driver Download Section. The Rar File includes all tools and software required for flashing.

Greetings;
Have you solved your problem?
If not, tell me what Android version are you running on your device?
i.e: Gingerbread; Ice Cream Sandwich; Jelly Bean or KitKat.
Assuming you are running stock firmware i believe that either your brother flashed a wrong CF-Root for your device or used an application that could not root your device properly.
Either ways don't worry since your device can enter both Download and Recovery modes, it means that you can debug it.
[Rooting]
The best way to root this device is by flashing CF-Root file.
By flashing this file (CF-Root) you will be installing:
- ClockWork Mod Recovery
- Script that will root (automatically) your device.
- ext4 application. (do some research to know what ext4 is and how it os often used)
Small note: Since you will be rooted you will be able to overclock or underclock your device as well increase your device performance and battery duration.
Just PM me or do some research if you need some info regarding these configuration and settings.
[Fixing your issue]
Download Universal CF-Root here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1351056
Read the instructions before proceeding.
Now boot your device under Download Mode.
To do so:
Unplug USB Cable, Power Off your device and press the following key combination:
Vol.Down + Menu/Home Button + Power Button.
Release when the device enters download mode.
Now open Odin.
Under [PDA] load the CF Root File you've downloaded.
(Do NOT change any options inside odin if you dont know what they are for. Or you may get your device useless).
Put down your device so movement is done into the USB Cable (just to prevent bad flashing when you have low quality USB Cable).
Press Start and let the operation to complete.
Odin will display a message saying: "Pass" highlighted with Green.
Check if your device restarts (it may not restart yet)
If your device boots properly backup your data and follow the next step. If it doesnt boot properly follow to the next step.
Voot your device into recovery mode.
To do so: Power off your device and make sure it is not charging or connected to USB cable.
Then press and hold the following key combination:
Vol. Up + Menu/Home Button + Power Button.
Release after the Boot Logo is shown and you will enter recovery mode.
Now you will perform a Factory Reset.
Inside CWM select by the following order:
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Clean Cache
- Factory Reset
Note that Dalvik Cache is not shown at the main menu.
I dont remember the location exactly but if im not mistaken you can find it under "Advanced".
After you perform these 3 options the device shall reboot properly.
(it may take a little bit longer this time. Just be patient).
Since i dont know what was done to your device, there is still a chance that your device wont boot.
Either ways please let me / us (at XDA) know if it worked for you.
It is important (at least for me as a quality standard) that you are able to repair your device.
Best Regards
Please press thank button if this helped you. Since this will keep me motivated to continue helping.

Thanks for your reply. Frankly speaking I don't remember which Android version I was using may be Gingerbread (Is this important)
I downloaded "bagaria-09.GT-I9003_PDA.tar" from the link given by you and following procedure that you have mentioned. After odin says "Pass" I switched off my mobile and started in Recover mode it took around 15-20 mins to show recovery option. after this performed
- Wipe Dalvik Cache
- Clean Cache
- Factory Reset
and then Reboot. As you said phone is stucked on boot image for more than 15 mins then an loop on "SAMSUNG" logo after more 15 mins phone is showing "kernel panic upload mode"
Can you help me further?

Hello amoghs;
Again sorry for answering after so long; I'm not so often at XDA Lately.
Yes.
1st: Try Remove the Battery, then Put it Back and Try Again.
If this doens't Work:
1) Turn your Device Off and Press:
Vol. UP + Home Button + Power (To Enter CWM / Your Recovery Mode)
2) Select: "Factory Reset"
Let me know how it worked for you.
Note:
- After Flashing a ROM it is Normal that your Device Takes a little Longer to Boot on the "1st" time.
- Phone Stuck on Boot Logo and Looping: Boot Issues (Either Requires to Remove and Place Back the Battery; or Re-Flash the ROM or Stock Rom in a Difficult Stage).
Notes:
- After a Flash Perform a Factory Reset (To Clean Up Old Stuff).
- If you Experience: "Kernel Panic":
a) Remove Battery and Place it Back - (Works on Most Cases)
b) Flash your ROM again and DO NOT Instal Custom Kernel (May be Wrong Kernel or Bad/Incompatible Kernel Programming)
c) Phone Restarts by Himself: Reflash ROM, Try MinFreeManager or Similar APK (Application). Try "Optimal" Settings. (I dont recall the Presets names - But you can Safely test them - Even if device gets stuck. You can always revert to previous state).
d) Any Hard-to-Solve Issues: Just do a "Clean Flash" of STOCK Gingerbread (Check Sammobile Website - Invalid Download Links Just send email to Support Requesting the File)
or Flash "DDLF2 2.3.6 (Also Gingerbread). But always try Stock 1st to remove most issues, and only then Flash your Desired ROM.
Also if you haven't fixed the Boot Issue already: Do note that you can recover your device Boot.
NOT Dead Yet!
Please do let me know if you solved your Boot problem.
Best Regards;

Boot back in to your recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache. Format system and then install your ROM. There are major differences between CM11 and CM7. When making big jumps like that it's always best to format system before installing a ROM.

In CWM select Wipe data/factory reset. This will wipe the cache, dalvik cache and a couple other partitions. Then go to Mounts and Storage and select Format System. That will format the system partition.
Now go back to CWM home screen and install your ROM.

thanks man, now my lg o1 works
Glad to help
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk
Hi,
May I ask for help here (instead of creating a new thread) ? I have the same problem: The device is booting loop at the LG screen. Bricked it when I wanted to save the ROM with ROM Manager.
I have no access to recovery mode, but Emergency mode does work (With and without battery).
I've followed multiple guides, including this one:
Most of you are stuck on a yellow screen with”Emergency mode!!” or the phone is not responding at all. You guys wanted a custom rom like Optimus Prime-v2 and let me tell you, this time it will work. Optimus One P500 comes with stock android 2.2 – V10a, V10b … and android 2.2.1 – V10n. They might be done for different regions depending upon the phone release and its popularity and definitely bug fixes and enhancements. To have Prime-v2 on your handset you will require V10a or V10b on your handset. Reason, V10n stock cannot be rooted easily. Rooting the handset is must if Prime-v2 is required on the device. Steps to install V10a, V10b series. I am using Windows 7 32-bit, 3 GB RAM laptop:
1. Clean your system first; get rid of LG PC suite and other stuff shown in Uninstall Program with vendor name as LG. Remove MSXML builts from the handset. Remove Nokia and other drivers if they are on system like Ovi suite etc. I also removed a lot of Microsoft runtime environments. Not sure about the reason but it worked for me.
2. LG usb device drivers, download the application B2CAppSetup.exe http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/client/app/B2CAppSetup.exe .
3. In the Menu Bar, click "Options & Help", and click "Country & Language". Select the appropriate Country & Language. I used India and select P500 from the list that popup after you change the country and region. It will download, install and save the drivers somewhere in C:\LGP500\USB_Driver, it will prompt to open the rar files, just click and install the exes seen in them.
4. Reboot the system.
5. Right click on Computer -> Properties -> Device Manager and see for three drivers – LG android usb modem, LGE serial usb port and LG composite USB device. Disable the modem driver and reboot once again.
6. Switch off the phone and press volume up + BACK button + POWER button. Phone should turn yellow with text “Emergency Mode!!” To switch it off you have to remove the battery (I know it hurts, but that’s the only way out here). Switch off and let’s continue with the setup.
7. To do the KDZ of system you will require the KDZ software updater, links keep going off and on internet. Try searching for “KDZ_FW_UPD_EN” or “KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z” in Google and download the software. It should be somewhere around 2.3 MB. To use it you will required some good version of WinZip or winrar again Google it and install the 7z archive utility.
8. Install msxml.msi as the manual or readme.txt says to do so.
9. To get the V10x Official ROM, you need to first determine the ROM of your choice. List of all firmware available for LG Optimus One P500 (list of codes) http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500 , search for your country (use IE it looks sexy in it), I looked out for IND/INDIA. Download link to the ROM is http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/XXXXX/V10a_00/V10A_00.kdz where XXXX is code from list of codes. In my case it was: AINDBK. Save the file.
10. Prepare the handset by removing the SD card and boot it to emergency mode (some are already stuck on it so reading this post…: D) using the key combination stated above.
11. Connect to the PC and it should say, installing drivers’ blah… blah … your device is ready to use now.
12. Run the KDZ updater downloaded in step 7. Select 3GQCT in Type, DIAG in PhoneMode, and browse for ROM V10a in KDZ file and hit Launch Software update. Wait for somewhere around 5-10 minutes. It should say ===FINISHED=== in the log window of updater.
13. Handset will reboot, if not wait for another 5 minutes. Unplug from USB and try to switch it on.

Click to collapse
My problem is that KDZ still doesn't find my phone after all these attempts - I uninstalled the device driver, then reinstalled it succesfully (B2CAppSetup.exe). I reboot, install msxml.msi, and start KDZ.
Next, I power my phone in Emergency phone, plug it, and it is detected for the first time by the computer. I do have LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device, listed in the Device Manager, as well as LGE Android Platform USB Modem.
Using KDZ, I select the "3GQCT" type, phone mode "DIAG", with the correct KDZ file I've downloaded earlier. Once I launch the software update, phone is not found.
I've tried several times, including desactivating the LG Modem from the Device Manager; unfortunately, when I disable it I need to reboot - I do reboot, but then the LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device is absent from the device manager, and isn't detected by Windows at all, until I fully reinstall the driver (...).
I really don't know what I'm doing wrong - note that I use a laptop with Windows 7 x64; I know laptops handle USB port in a different way than desktops.
Can you help please?
I must be SO close... =(
Thanks, I really appreciate it!

Hi,
May I ask for help here (instead of creating a new thread) ? I have the same problem: The device is booting loop at the LG screen. Bricked it when I wanted to save the ROM with ROM Manager.
I have no access to recovery mode, but Emergency mode does work (With and without battery).
I've followed multiple guides, including this one:
My problem is that KDZ still doesn't find my phone after all these attempts - I uninstalled the device driver, then reinstalled it succesfully (B2CAppSetup.exe). I reboot, install msxml.msi, and start KDZ.

First, serious word of advice. Stay away from ROM Manager. It does not handle this device correctly.
It sounds to me like you are not entering Emergency Mode correctly. Yes, the LG USB Modem must be disabled. Power off the device. Press the "Back + Volume Up + Power" buttons together until the device boots to Emergency Mode. Now connect device to you PC/laptop. This can also be done with the battery removed and the device off. Same method except no power button involved. Press the "Volume Up + Back" buttons while attaching your device to your data cable, assuming it's already attached to your PC/laptop.
The attachment I've posted is a stripped down version of the KDZ Updater. All you need to supply is the correct KDZ file for your phone. This one does not require any of LG's other crap software either.
Download to your PC. Extract to a folder of your choosing. Read the ReadMe.txt carefully and follow it's directions to the letter. I just used this to revive two ( 2 ) bricked P506's.
If you can boot to fastboot mode, there is a tool in my signature, Android Flash Recovery, that is designed to flash a recovery to a device with fastboot. So you have two options to restore, revive your device.

Hey, cheers !!
That was all I needed to do with this simple version, the update got applied properly, and I saw the FINISHED message.
My phone "rebooted". Well, what I see now if the Android logo with a big " ! ", which is normal according to what I've read.
I will do more ressearch to make sure what I do if correct now: is this safe to power off/reboot at this screen? I believe it's the last step.

Holding the power button does not shut it down - pull the battery, right (It won't screw the thing right before the end ? XD ) ?
Look.. correct:
12 - Start the phone again. If you get stuck in a screen with an Android and an exclamation mark ("!") in a triangle, just unplug the USB cable and the battery. Plug the battery again and start the phone. It will take 2 to 5 minutes to reboot for the first time and the boot animation will be the stock LG (your carrier's stock animation is lost for good), but chances are your phone is intact, with all it's apps and configurations working the same as before the incident. When the boot finishes, turn off the phone again and put back the SD Card you took off on the first step.

I really don't want to mess anything at this point.

If KDZ Updater says it's done and your device has rebooted to recovery, then yes you can pull the battery to shut it down. You may still need to do the key presses for a factory reset, but the key combo has slipped my mind for the moment. Old age...

Really nice, I have the Android logo !!
I will wait - people says it can take up to 5-15 minutes or even more - I won't shutdown on the logo.
Letting you know as soon as it's done.

After a while, the device booted, and I had a few messages saying it was restoring all the settings!
No data loss! Nothing (I had backed up my contacts and apps on my SD Card already - I was unsure if I would have loose my SMSs, I didn't) is lost !
Dude, seriously, thanks A BUNCH - this is ridiculous, I screwed the phone up at like 10PM yesterday, and did not went to sleep until 2AM because I couldn't fix the thing (I had access to FastBoot at first. I did a process to restore it from Fastboot, it should have worked properly, but then I only had access to the LG logo. Man, I thought I was toasted, and had to spend 50$ for a new phone, just because of a stupid mistake. Never would I thought that SAVING the ROM of my SD card would have screwed up the ROM!)...
I spent like 6 hours today trying to fix it, reinstalling the drivers over and over again... Installing a fresh new Windows XP on a machine, just so I could install everything on a new operating system to figure out the problem...
That was just plain crazy, seriously.
****BONUS****
The first thing I've noticed when I booted my phone was the BLACK notification bar
I really love black, and I once did ressearch a while ago to see if I could turn my white bar into black (I have Android 2.2.1), but no success.
I just realised I got it updated "accidentally" to Android 2.3, and so I was on Android 2.2. since 2011 (when I bought it) !
Well, nice addition, it is sexier with black
I belive it's because of the KDZ file I've used... I had a really hard time to find one, all the links were broken, from 2010, it's a old phone. I found the KDZ from Koodo, Canadian French, exactly my own.
Guess I "accidentally" upgraded to Android 2.3 then Nice addition !
I have no experience at all with fixing Android devices / ROM stuff - I'm used with Windows/Linux and others, but Android (although Android is a version of Linux) is another thing for me.
THANKS - seriously, I wouldn't have made it without your help.
YAY
