V20c to v21b to get root - LG Thrill 4G

Just an idea I don't know much about this but I was wounding if we could flash to that euro 21b the one that's rootable and keep the baseband and radio settings and all that stuff from 20c?
If anyone's willing to try this or let me know how it could be done if it can be done.
Maybie we could have GB with root and with out the ghost calls and lost SMS.

Does the Euro 21B not have a baseband in it?
If it does, then it will wipe it.

Ya I'm pretty sure it does have its own baseband we probly can't rip the BB out of it can we?

Unfortunately, there is not really a method for our phones.
The only way would have been for us to copy it off our phone's partition. However, we don't have root.

On Optimus p970 Russian friends were unpacking bin roms and rooting/installing CWM them.
I asked them to try the method on our O3D V20b,as I had only the 20b in bin format.

Like we can't take the BB out of 21b then just flash the software verson with out a BB just a crazy idea I'm having
Is it b or a thats rootable wicherver one is I think its a

Well the newest GB release, Rogers, seems to have the best battery backup.
However, we can't root it.
The LG .kdz files are also encrypted with LG proprietary software and we can't extract it until we know the codes do decrypt it.

Ya that makes sense

Yeah LG really got stupid with these phones by totally breaking away from android standards. The kdz files, fact that img files are uboot multi images... they really tried hard to close down an open source format and not just with proprietary formats. I will never get another LG phone I know that much.

It really makes me mad.
Anyways, I just have to say that the Rogers V10C_00 baseband is better than AT&T's baseband.

ya this was my first android so i had no idea and it was free on a contract so it was no brainer should have paid a 150 bucks more for a different phone but i didnt have the cash for it o well i like this phone anyhow

Might have to try that BB out from v10c, is there a fls for that or just kdz? Also the phone itself is very nice, only real complaint is the battery and lack of updates/support. It's a solid phone with great hardware but LG/ATT is really slacking. They just need to learn that you cant just make a phone like this and neglect it because from what I have seen a lot of people became anti LG because of this phone.

i tryed this but it just gives me a cannot find file or service if we could get these files it would help?

Can one of you on Rogers try this link and please post the link it gives you back I had some one else try and it gave a bad link back. Copy the link and paste in browser then put your imei after the = .please someone see if we can get a bin for this then we can use the .fls from it to flash gb rooted thanks
so i found a lg kdz decrypt program called R&D test tools and i ran v20 though it and i got a v20c.wdb and a lgp920.dll does this help any?
cant find any lg software that will extract the wdb guess this is why we need root well been a good learning experiance

the wdb is the encrypted file.

ah ic well that sucks at least i learned some thing

Been messing with the wdb file for a few hours now... I officially dislike LG even more now...

Ya I can't find any way to decrypt it or edit it

[HELP] Bricked Optimus 2X SU660!

I got Optimus 2X SU660 ( Korean version ). When I try to optimize it, I deleted system file.
Now
- it still can boot but I can't restore.
- I restore using nvflash ( of P990 ) but can't touch anywhere, only volume and power button worked.
- I installed CWM but don't have .zip firmware file.
- Now I have .kdz and bin firmware. I try some method of other LG phone but unsuccessfully.
Please help me! Tks in advance!

Hi. I live in South Korea and had the exact same problem as you with the SU660. I even had a backup made of my original rom which when restored using CWM would be stuck in a bootloop. I ended up taking my phone to the LG service center and they restored my phone to factory default settings. Perhaps you can do that at a LG service center in Vietnam. The only other solution I can think of for you is to continue using the ROM you have and install a program like zmooth or button savior to simulate your home, menu, and search buttons via the touchscreen.
If anyone has any idea how to flash a .bin or .fls version of O2X firmware onto the phone, I would love to know too! Thanks!

Thank you very much! I used zmooth for 2days ( work well ) after try soft menu ( same my Nook Color ) but failed.
I also will try to contact LG Vietnam.
Now, I try some method for kdz file because there are some guide relate it from GT540 or P500. If I can do, I will show you.
Newest idea I will try: edit function key. Maybe the main difference between SU660 vs P990 are hardkey vs softkey and layout.
Could you share your firmware backup? Maybe I made some lucky.
And could you share me your files in /system/usr/keylayout ?
Tks!
Check your PM
Thank you! I will try and report back.

I know how to restore your phone to life. I think that if you have .bin firmware method is same that in LGP990. Use LGDP2_V42, your model.dll and .bin firmware. Also read my topic (Here we go again) in optimus2x forum.

No! I used LGMobile Update Tool after install full driver. This tool automatic download newest firmware, flash to phone but phone still boot loop. I copy all of extracted files ( during Update Tool flash phone ) to another folder and use nvflash to restore.
Is your phone fully functional now? I hope so!
Hi Zanr Zij
I've got myself into exact situation as yours and I also used the LG Support tool to upgrade my SU660 to V10Q but the phone just show the "LG" screen then black out.
If you managed to get the phone up and running, please share some information. I'm kinda desperate here >.<
Thanks and best regards.

New 2.1 V20E_00 KDZ (CIS & Baltic)

This is the latest CIS and Baltic Official KDZ from LG. I cannot try these as:
1. I already flashed a fastboot rom so I can't use official firmware anymore (I can't seem to find the fastbbot version of this)
2. My phone has been whisked off to LG to be fixed (Hopefully, as I bricked it) need to wait 7-14 days.
Baltic
CIS
Please give your feedback,
Thanks,

[Newbie] Help Me to Convert My P925 to P920

I'm a newbie with lg android, I got a good deal for an unlocked LG thrill so I bought it and now I find out LG won't be supporting Thril with future updates. So I need to flash the KDZ from P920 to P925. I have gone through the forum, still I'm unable to do So. The actual problem is I'm unable to flash the kdz file v21e with the methods told in this site. At the last part the LG software updater creeps up teiing me that I have the Latest Software and Need Not Update.
Please, I need Step by step instruction as I cannot make out what I did wrong.

One does not simply flash a ICS ROM from any other version.

If it's asking for login, you have to do step 2 from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17177547&postcount=2
2.Extract "file.zip" and put "LGFlashTool.exe" to location where you installed "Setup_LGFlashTool_1.1.zip" (default: C:\LG\LGFlashTool\)
This replaces the orginal installed LGFlashTool with the special version from file.zip
Umm ...can you just upload the final file you used with cwm recovery?
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
It doesn't work like that. You CANNOT flash an ICS build from froyo or gingerbread. You MUST run the LG Flash tool following the steps provided in the other sections to the T. If you aren't very comfortable with doing this stuff yourself I would advise you to remain on Gingerbread. You will most likely end up with a bricked / worthless phone if something does go wrong and you don't know how to get it back. I the thrill development section you will find a very lengthy and discussed guide on upgrading. As I said though, this is at your own risk and there is no possible way for us to upload anything for you to flash. You connect your phone and flash ICS using the LG FLASH tool.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
wait....i was able to install 10 different zip updates....such as prometheus, thriller, etc. is there a way to get the ICS rar file like that?
No. That's what I'm saying. You can flash gingerbread ROMs on gingerbread all day long, but you cannot flash an ICS ROM while you are on gingerbread. Especially this phone. The ICS build is ported from the Korean model of this phone and has different partition sizes than a gingerbread/froyo ROM would need for the thrill. LG Flash tool is the only way to get ICS on this phone. You must first flash XBSALL's ICS build with LG Flash tool on your PC. From there you can root and install recovery and flash other custom ICS ROMs, but not until you first flash on your PC using the guides in the Optimus 3D Development forum.
The only reason I'm taking the time to re-explain this to you is to prevent you from flashing an ICS ROM and possibly bricking your phone. Its pretty buggy still and not something a novice user should attempt. I spent at least 3 1/2 hours in a panic trying to fix my phone after flashing ICS over with LG Flash tool exactly as I was supposed to. It doesn't "just work", you may have to work for it.
