Hello guys! I am going to go right into the point. In the case that i have done something wrong and you think how foolish i am, i have worked with flashing roms on the HTC imagio, Dell streak (2 different ones), evo 4g, motorola atrix, htc inspire 4g and now this.
After my long run of succesfully rooting phones, i ran unto a wall. I recently bought an LG Thrill 4G (AT&T version O3D) and i wanted to run a foreign version of gingerbread on it. The phone was running froyo, completely stock unrooted. I flashed a GB KDZ file (A20.00) to be able to boot back into froyo, install CMW and root the phone and work to use a GB Rom. However, after flashing the new baseband, the phone stays on a bootloop at the LG logo.
What is it that I did wrong? IN What order should I have done the procedure?
I have found a way to get the phone fixed but i need an XP pc and to get one, it will take some time. Now, another thing i noticed was that the .bin firmwares linked inside of the unbricking thread all are foreign (meaning no AT&T), so if i choose a p920, would that turn my phone from a thrill (p925) to an optimus 3d (p920) completely?
Thank you in advance. I have been up trying to do this for hours but i have college classes in the morning and i need to get some rest. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

So i bought this phone of a guy, an he told me he was a phone dealer an that he owned a store an that motorola sent him this phone as a gift. the phone even has on it ingraded into it"confidential motorola restricted property: not for sale" and where the meid is located it says
"motorola engineering use only not for resale
The guy told me its unlocked to any network in the world, an when i turned it on, it had android 2.1
So what i wanted to do is upgrad it to 2.2 froyo. so i figured id have to degrade it first to 2.0.1. Thing is i dont know which sbf to download when using rsd lite, like ive tried the brazillian one, but i jus keep gettin error after erasing flash memory, it would go to 100%, then go back to zero percent, wait like 5 mins, an then error. so help would greatly be appreciated to get this phone runnin 2.2
it wont work.
1. it is a milestone and the boot combo must be signed by Mot.
until somebody finds a way around this or mot releases a 2.2 variant, we are screwed. some devs here have packaged 2.2 without the kernel, but some things do not work exactly like the release froyo.
2. dont buy NFR phones...they are pre-prod and not warrantied. they often have different hardware than release phones. the last Moto NFR phone i played with did not even work with RSD to flash it...
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
thanks for the reply, an how sure are u that i wont be able to upgrade it to 2.2, because this phone seems like its already been rooted since it wont let me root it. it runs boot loader 90.78, an when i use rsd it seems to be working fine, until after the erase flash memory.
Hi
Kies killed me when I was just trying to update to Froyo officially. Since then I used Odin 1 click and everything seems ok, except for the fact that its att now. I want to eventually get to official rogers 2.2 froyo with no gremlins lurking hidden in the file system. I downloaded the i896 rogers 2.2 rom. How can I install it so that my phone will be stock 2.2? Same boot loader, same rom, same everything as if the update had gone smoothly through kies. I want it to be rogers only.
Well, thanks to all for you help.
And a special thanks to the Kies programmers. I have bricked devices trying to install unofficial things before but I have never bricked a phone through official channels, Amazing work guys amazing.
Thanks to the xda community for again saving my rear
I think if you search there is a Odin for a stock rogers. I will have to look....
Try this thread for rogers stock rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846501&highlight=odin+rogers
Hi,
more problems. Even though ODIN said it was sucessful it just went to the battery icon. Now the phone shows att logo for a second, reboots and does it again. Not even sure if I can get back to download mode! All this for a friggin official update!
ok I need to calm down. But this is really upsetting
I have a AIO rogers 3.0 tool kit, and I have a stock rogers rom. I do not however know how to get it onto my phone. The odin program just has start.
The rogers AIO program has back up to stock but always says cannot communicate with device.
Please help, I have no idea why things have been so messed up.
same happen to a friens of mine that wanted to flash unleashthebeast...and he changed his mine after and i odin one clicked and it did the same...luckily he was under 30 days...but only other option is a jig.

oh and if u can get into download mode your good....if not...a jig
Seriously?
The only way to recover this phone is to make some crazy usb solder jiggy?
My phone shows only ATT or if USB is plugged in, a battery icon. No button combo is working for DL mode, where as it was before.
Any ideas on how else I could get this phone into dl mode?
Thanks again
Chris
Looks like you and I have a similar issue. Subbing to thread for hope.
What about using the AIO toolkit to at least get a working ATT branded phone? I too used the AIO toolkit to flash a custom rom on my Rogers phone and yes, though I don't believe it was supposed to the AIO toolkit put the ATT stock on rather than Rogers stock. However, at least you'd have a working phone at that point. Unless you need to return your phone you can use it as is until you find a proper solution.
I know it's a stopgap solution but working improperly is better than not working at all.

ATT bootscreen problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11327700&postcount=209
in case some of those guys confused you, a jig only helps you if you cant get into download mode. you already flashed successfully after the brick, right? you dont need a jig. follow the instuctions above.
if you get AIO toolkit working (rogers edition) DONT USE A PIT FILE, DONT RE-PARTITION, (pit file is for partitioning). the rogers stock images dont have dbdata to work after repartition. this is what screwed me the other day., and i was forced to use ODIN1 Click. and now have the same ATT bootscreen as you.
as im in the same boat ive been researching and the above method wont work. its only for i9000 based roms. not the stock based roms like the att. and the fix replaces a file named logo_ATNT.jpg (AT&T)
this *fix* isnt too much of a *fix* and i have yet to come across a rogers flash that will replace this att crap.
So that means if we were to return our captivates for a refund, we're stuck with the split second AT&T boot logo. I wonder if they'll mind...
if your phone breaks to the point that you must return it, *MAKE SURE* its broken enough that they cant read/use the phone. Sticking it to the back of a speaker magnet for 10 minutes should do. ive heard of using a microwave fore a few seconds but it may do visible damage.
hello everyone i seem to be one of the few thrill owners that still isnt able to update to gingerbread 2.3.5 yet. i have tried many times using the official lg update tool but i had no luck there and then i tried using other methods such as the lg kdz flasher tool that many people have posted but i wasnt able to use that either. I am on a windows 7 pc and have want to upgrade my thrill to gb so that i can use some of the great roms like mokee. please help me solve this problem its very frustrating and i want gingerbread!
Try Changing the LG applications Compatibility Mode to Windows Vista.
Did you try this

I had the same problem until today, i couldn't do the update.
Today i unlocked the phone and i was able to update at the first try. Maybe its gonna work for you too. I got the unlock code from ebay for 99cent.
Not Solved
im sorry to say that none of the solutions have worked so far. I still have yet to try the unlocking method though so i will let you guys know if this works.
I have the same problem and now my phone really screw up. I got stuck after it downloaded 420MB files then when flashing keep getting disconnect phone, reconnect etc...
Ok so if the answer to this question is already on this forum I searched for a hour and if you could drop me a link that would be great. Last night I flash v10k onto my LG thrill with no hiccups. The only problem is I want to go back to V20p because it changed to a O3D and all I can get is 2g edge service. So this morning I attempted to flash V20p and everything was kosher until it said there was a connection error. "Disconnect phone remove battery..." So i figured I needed to get the phone back into download mode in order to continue. The phone isnt bricked, however, I cant seem to get it back into Download mode to try again. Ive tried everything (that I can think of). Restarted my computer wipe all my phones data... My end goal is to have either v10e or the v20p. So I'm open to any routes to this end. I've read about doing a nandroid backup but all the links are dead. I've already decided I'm going to get the Galaxy Nexus and sell this phone if I can ever get it back to stock or semi stock. This is the second time I've had this connection error the first time it was during the update to GB and that time it bricked it. At the time I thought it was a faulty data cable, however, this time I was using a gold plated gigawire and it still did it... This coupled with the ghost call issue almost costing me my job(the reason for trying to go back to froyo) My experience has been buggy to say the least. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.

So you want V20P or V10E?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S II w/ DUAL BOOT: AOKP / MIUI
I really want V10e if its possible but If not then V20p will work.
I am having similar problems when I try as well. I have tried 5 or six times but tells me something about the b2c not loaded or a connection to the internet. Every time I hit "normal web upgrade test" it throws up a pop up and wont let me proceed any further. It has worked for me twice before, I got the no connection pop up and ignored it, but its not working this time. I set everything up the same from instructions on Acidhazzard rom web site. Please help...
I had to change the port back to 80 and put the orig host file back in the ect file just to download the bc2app then change it all back it worked the first time when i flashed v10k... idk i would delete the lg drivers and everything then start from scratch if i could boot into download mode.

I have been starting...
From scratch. I download the LG flash package and go from there. It does it every time I try. The times I got it to work, I would just hit cancel or OK on the pop up and then hit the OK button I was wanting to hit real fast before the pop up could come back up. I thought it may be a Windows 7 issue (cause I have seen people talk about it) and tried win xp yesterday. Same things happened.
Im running Xp and Im having the same exact thing happen. I got it into download mode finally idk what was going on but now I just keep getting the communications error Ive tried the whole process (each one is like 5 errors) like 3 times now. If it keeps popping up before the update even starts then your probably need to change your small server port from 80 to 9002.
fixed
Somehow after getting the com error 100 times with the flash tool I noticed it had changed my model number back to P925 (I don't know how it did this) I then decided to chance it (after I changed the host file back and changed the port back to 80 and closed the small http server) I went through the LG support tool and clicked start update. After about 20 min of uncertainty during the update and another 5 minutes of self-loathing after getting a bootloop on the at&t screen... I did a hard reset and cleared all data and wah-la... I got it back to V20p. But the flash tool wouldn't flash the v20p for me.. So if I didnt somehow get rid of the P920 model number and back to the P925 model number I don't think it would have worked the way it did.
Using the Droid XT875. I live in canada and was using the GB leak for the past 3 months.
recently updated to the .246 and having to issues to say the least.
I tried to convert to ICS and follow the instructions on this site and downloaded the correct files. The flash has failed on my phone using RSD Litev 5.7 . I get a failed flashing process at stage 1/22. This is where is stops.
I have read on this forum in multiple places that this can damage the phone. I have a HTC Desire im using but my question is simple. Given all the smart people on this forum am i screwed? My phone wont turn on and sometimes it will boot in fastboot when plug in. So i can work with the phone connected but im thinking its done and really not going to be fixed. lol.
Thanks.

Sorry i might have worded that poorly. All the RSD lite and flashing tools were used on the motorola bionic device. The HTC is a seperate phone i have had for a while and currently used (its stock and worked fine). So if the motorola is F**ked then im ok with it. I just was curious if i can fixed the Motorola given it wont even turn on anymore . Or should just give up.

If you can't get it to turn on at all, you're probably F'd. I've had that happen one time before, and using the actual wall changer to charge it got me back to the point that I could boot it and use RSD lite. I've never had the problem with it not getting past the first step, unless I wasn't following the instructions properly.
