well I know...there is no answer over the google either...no one has this kind of problem
I will keep searching
Have you tried to directly flash a .kdz file? That should help, as your device came with 10a it should be a normal one and no developer.

I havent tried it yet...I will today when I come home...
I was researching a little...
how can I be sure that phone is not developer edition?
I got that phone for free from a cousine working in local lg office... he was saying that it's the final version...
there is a encription on the back of the model NOT FOR SALE...so that means it a developer edition, or not?
ofcourse, software is version v10a....
maybe it's not registred for sale so it wont update?
I found some tutorial, does someone know will that help and could I brick it this way? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861942

If you'll try the normal flash, you'll brick it almost for sure.
By that method you'll be able to flash it.
Pay attention to the tutorial before you start!

I did everything as in the tutorial...but I stopped at step 8...
I am using win 7, 64 bit edition and I connected to my laptop win xp 32 bit edition, I manage to install everything, but when I connect phone (vol up and usb cable) the computer never finds omap4430...when I look at device manager i get a new hardware for about 3 seconds and then everything dissapears...
I don't undestrand...
does it maybe has to be win 7 and 32 bit operational system or something else...
tnx anyway

I got the same Message when I tried to check for updates. On my phone the solution was to enable OTA in the hidden menu.
Hidden Menu
WLAN Test

As far as I know, the flash method for developers phones must run in 32bit system.
About retail phones, just try to download the KDZ version you want to and flash it with the normal methode.
Good luck

I tried everything for updating like developer and didn't succeded...then i decided to risk and tried it with the normal methode and it worked...

Maybe even without sucess, when you flash by the "development way" (let's call it like that for now...), you overwrite the file system allowing to perform the normal flash after that.
Good for you.

Try to unbrick it with SmartFlashTool. Should work just fine, if you are still able to boot to SW Update Mode.

The smartphone is OK.
The problem is that i can't run the software R&DtestTool on win8.
But i will try to upgrade to V30B with SmartFlash.
Thanks:good:
yeah r&dtt and kdzu are obsolete since we got smartflash, but I let these methods available because some users still use them. but I'm not sure if it still works with newest B2C clients

Standard troubleshooting - which you would know if you searched before posting;-
De-install and re-install the LG tool
Check the drivers
Try different USB ports (USB 3 are often a problem)

relax. 1st thing to do is take a breath. 2nd thing to do is follow some guide to do it right this time. maybe it cant boot, but it can go in adb mode or in upgrade screen and restore the original forcing the original rom in. its ur choice.

the link you provide is old. nobody can download drivers from there anymore, his links are dead.
maybe the nvflash utility is the same with this one here ?
and the apx drivers for 4x are those the same for 2x ?

APX device not recognized... NVFlash doesn't work on P880 (AFAIK).
And if you pay atention, the links also as uploaded drivers are from 2011, old.
Check SW
First of all try this:
1. take battery out
2. put it back
3. press and keep volume down
4. while keeping volume down plug USB cable, after 2 sec should enter to S/W upgrade
try exactly how i said and report if that works.

Well, before touching any device you should have patience, if you said "APX missing driver ant that's it" i don't think phone is already dead

Well i don't have a lot of experience of re-installing phones, but i don't think that phone died of software missing/failure on phone, should be extra drivers/soft to wake it up, even after formatting all device, or maybe when he tried flash rom phone hardware got burned. i feel sorry for that phone
Sorry for English language mistakes ^^

nah its ok. you see , this time i believe he is right , it died. the reason is because this happened while using pc sync with the pc suite. the original lg software caused him this issue. i was not there to see what happened but for the original to fail so bad..... its one in a billion.....

That's weird, did you charge the battery? Drivers are installed on your computer?
If you didn't charge the battery just try to let it charge longer.
