So i tried flashing a rom with CWM, it all went fine. So i went back to CWM and restore my stock ROM, and i also wanted to get rid of the CWM by flashing Paul's stock recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021554
Now i can't get back into recovery nor the OS itself. The only thing i could do is nvflash since all i can do now is to go to nvflash mode, my phone is a HK ROM v10A, but all i could find was v10b since Modoco is "re-constructing" its website. So here's the question:
1. i nvflashed v10b into my phone, everything was success, but when it was done, its stuck in a bootloop at the LG logo. I re-flash a couple times with success with no errors, but still the same bootloop. What can i do now?
2. Do i have to flash the same 10A rom in order to get back into the OS?
3. I heard nvflash messes with files related to the phone's IMEI, under what circumstance would nvflash corrupt those files and lose my IMEI?
Yes i m an idiot, but please help!!!!

You download ROM here and use smartflash to restore your phone.
Little Help in Smartflash
Hey , after downloading the required ROM file here n the baseband file from the other link...
Will smartflash use both the baseband n ROM file?
OR
Will it only use the baseband file that is given 2 download
??
One More question i'm running on V10b can i flash directly 2 V10d or i have 2 go through V10c??
Thnx in advance
Far ago I have try to update to 2.3.4 nb0 file by flashing via stock recovery. I've tried to flash firmware.nb0 file but stock recovery reporting error and cant flash it. And then, I renamed firmware.nb0 to update.zip (just rename, didnt do anything more) and when I try to flash update.zip its worked. so now I'm running my device on 2.3.4 with no problem.
But now. I need to flash back to 2.2 but stock recovery cant do it. it cant do flash 2.2 nb0 file as a update.zip or firmware.nb0 file. I must use stock recovery to flashing because my usb hub doesnt work. so how do I flash back to 2.2 with stock recovery?
The error that stock recovery reported is the update is unsigned so its stoped.
ooooppp. could anyone help me?
Use SUTL3 program to load stock 2.2. You can search this forum for both.
Hi
I restored my OB many times with "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" according to this "Tutorial: how to unbrick your phone", but some days ago, when I trying to install a KDZ file, it opens the LG Software Updater and start the restore process downloading files from the LG server, instead of using the KDZ file that I downloaded before.
Anyone have a solution for this??? - Is there another way to install a KDZ file ???
B2c updater has changed. Use smartflash tool. It works and only takes 3 minutes.

Hello every one
I have been almost all the weekend workin on a LG970 with a stock rom 4.0.4 baseband 30b.
Cound'nt even make the root, can some one help?
First problem can't enter in the recovery mode, I try all that is to try, (youtube viedos, step by step, adb command) and nothing.
At a certain point I had a boot error (security error), after discharge 333mb off a KDZ firmware V30B_00_EU.kdz I converted to fls and bin and finaly I achieve to flash the device with the smartflash. This was the only way I could do something on the device.
So my question is, the same way I do to install the KZD file, is it possible to install other rooms ?
Thanks
You have to unlock the bootloader in v30b before you flash any recovery.

Hi friends ,
I am using Samsung S Advance since last eight month, Till now i have flash more than 300 nightly and custom roms over my mobile and evry time i succeeded, but two days back when i got stuck in omnirom I use ODIN to Flash Stock JB . My Phone Boot After that And got stuck on initial setting wizard everytime i try to pass that it shows
unfortunately samsung setting wizard stopped , so i can not pass that point ,
So i flash stock firmware again and again but everytime same problem
Then I reboot in Recovery which show message " fail to mount efs( invalid argument)
I ignore it and Start Recovery again and root my mobile using update.zip(which is temporary recovery) and then flash cocore kernel And try to restore my backup( I have 6 different rom backup , i tried them all) but every rom got stuck in bootloop .
Then I try to Flash CM10.2 but that also didn't work
Then I Flash some custom rom like sami-os and galexperia which are based on stock firmware and they start working but those roms are freezing a lot, When i try to install any software in those rom they says insufficient memory , I Check storage and it shows
"DEVICE MEMORY 0.00B"
Everytime I reboot all user data get wiped and evrytime setting wizard appear like first boot
I have tried to mount efs, data, ,system via cwm . There is error to mount efs via cwm . I mount data, system successfully but after every reboot they are unmounted.
So Made some search and finally decide to repartition via odin using PIT file given somewhere in this forum but odin shows "fail"
My Friend suggest me to revert back to gb but i couldn't find Indian firmware ( All sites give link to hotfile page which is banned), so i followed post in xda about downgrading from JB to GB and try to flash PIT, PDA , CSC file given by OP via odin but it fails everytime .
So again I flash JB via odin but same result( Got stuck in setting wizard)
So I Tried to root again using update.zip(which i mentioned earlier and which works for me everytime in past) but it switched off during update in recovery so now i can not start cwm now and can use only stock recovery and unable to flash custom rom.
I have Given All Details about how problem start and here is summary of all problems
1. fail to mount efs(invalid argument)
2. 0.0b internal memory
3. unable to repartition using ODIN
4. user data deleted on every boot and boot as first boot
5. can not pass setup wizard in stock firmware after flashing stock via Odin
I think i have messed up with internal memory and which is causing problem or my recovery is damaged.
please give me solution .
If any one have INDIAN GB firmware with pit, csc , pda, bootloader please upload and give link , i searched everywhere no link is working.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I have successfully downgrade to GB and 0.0b internal memory problem is solved , for detail read 7th post
But still FACING " efs error" and unable to upgrade to jb
Every time i flash jb with odin it get stuck in start up in setting wizard with message " process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and then " setting wizard stopped"
please help me to solve this
Any one need to know how i solved my problem of 0.0mb and downgrade GB he can read post and even PM me.

If your phone is I9070 and not I9070P then use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195673
After that you can use your country GB. We all downgrade this way, and after that use any other firmware.

is your baseband working ok? I had a similar problem when flashing a rom, couldn't get out of setup wizard and also my baseband was XXXX as soon as i fixed the baseband and re-flashed the problem was gone, here is how:
I've flashed modemfs.img.md5 now 3G is working.
On another device (same model and region) I did:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5
Copied generated file to my sdcard and did:
dd if=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Reboot and it's done.
