Hi guys,
I am having problems flashing LG optimus black with ICS Rom. My current android version is 2.2.2 and is distributed by French Company SFR.
As I am aware of flashing procedures with other phone models, I used standard flashing procedure from LG website, extracting tool. However, during update (which normally downloads the file from server) the operation halts at 14 % which asks me to unplug the device, remove battery, re-plug and go on. I switch android flashing mode by pressing volume up and plugging it with usb cable. All drivers are loaded OK. It did not work.
I used the offline flashing procedure (by LG Flash Tool 2014), downloaded ICS ROM for SFR devices, and the issue is again the same.
Note that some flashing tools refused to upgrade as they indicated that the phone has the latest version, which happened in LG websites for other countries. This to me is in contradiction with what LG has introduced for this device, the ICS stock rom for SFR.
Then I went with smart flash tool which in fact converts KDZ file into two files used by this tool to flash, while during flashing operation it halted at 16 % saying that there is an error in flashing procedure. WHAT'S WORSE is that it deactivated my sim network, but the rest of android works normally.
As you see I did all these operations and would want some advice in re-activating (flashing) my sim network and any good method in successfully flashing the ICS ROM.
Thanks,
Albert
Try to use SmartFlash Tool from here: www.mediafire.com/download/7p10s9q9jsjsxq8/SmartFlashTool_External.rar, you can see how to use it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803

After rooting my LG Optimus 2X and installing CM7 as directed via the instructions my phone failed to bot up the new rom correctly, it just froze at the CM7 intro startup video of the blue character. I then tried to implement the recovery of the backup I made before installing the rom through rom manager in the boot recovry screen, but after applying the recovery to the original stock rom that too also froze at the start up screen so I found some instructions to then take out the battery and connect to a PC via USB which I then had to download and reinstall stock firmware which was successful and the phone is fully operational. I can produce and recieve calls/sms/etc but it is unable to connect to to any network to enable me internet access even though it worked an hour before ****ing my phone up in the the "about phone" info it says "Not Roaming" and Mobile Network State "Disconnected". even with full bars. Could this be cause by installing stock firmware from a different country or firmware intended for a locked phone?
I am with 3(three) in Australia on a $49 Plan but bought the phone outright/unlocked from an authorized dealer.
Any help and insight would be great. Cheers.

Maybe you could state how you flashed the original FW and what original FW you flashed ?

Glad to help!
I am facing the exact issue - Only difference is i am from India.
I will get home and flash the India Baseband
Well, this is the third thrill under warranty I get. This one still arrived with froyo. I cant seem to update to gingerbread with the lg updated. Tried following the kdz installation post but would not flash., kept telling me the phone was up to date. Any clues..? This will be my test phone as I just got a vivid.
You have to follow the directions on how to flash kdz and returning to stock tread in development thread
From what I know,the P on the end is just specific to the carrier,I am on rogers and mine ends in G(p925g) With so many different providers carrying eseentially the same phone,just different stock OS bloated with their provider junk LG has to do something to seperate the devices based off carrier. I find it strange that you cannot update,as it seems that there is an official ATT update for GB now. Have you had any luck?
No luck, att has a regular P925, the P925p is very rare and will not update via the update. I tried the kdz flash instructions and did not work. I will try it on an xp machine as i did it on a windows 7.

I also have the p925p version I have tried updating to ICS, If you have the LG support tool and click customer support look under supporting models and the p925p can only be updated to v20p which is Gingerbread, look at the regular p925 and it says v30b which is ICS, any suggestions?
Does anyone know if the P925p can be manually updated to the official ICS with the kbz files?
The phone I have says p925 on it behind the battery and in the software, the only place where it says it's p925p is when trying to use the POS LG support tool. Tells me my phone is already up to date etc...
Looking to find out if this thing can be updated manually with the official ics from att or not.
So [email protected]#$ing annoying, twice it's started the upgrade for ICS with the LG Upgrade Too, but it eventually always stops with "problem communicating with phone" then when you restart the program it tells you no update for P925p phone is up to date.
Last time I did the phone recovery, and it automatically did a restore, then said there is an update for ICS, then back to the problem communicating BS (stops when it says checking phone #, I don't have a AT&T sim in there right now) I tried without a sim and with a t-mobile sim same issue. Eventually says no update available.
Has anyone been able to get ICS on the P925p version??
Edit: I was able to get the phone updated see below
Thanks
Just an update and some info to add about the P925p.
The P925p is the same as the P925, there is no difference. LG's Support Tool telling you that your phones is a P925p is bogus / a bug. I spent a few hours on the phone with LG support, several techs. They all confirmed that the phone is P925. P925p is the exact same phone, just when its in Korea, they will recognize it as a P925p. So ignore the POS LG Support tool telling you your phone is P925p and that there is no update available for your phone.
There is a way around this error (telling you your phone is P925p and no update available). Uninstall the LG Support Tool, uninstall the drivers and reinstall the drivers, install the LG Support Tool. Sometimes you need to install the driver from the Support Tool, instead of before.
Then it will tell you there is an update.
My issue was that it would begin the update but always stop and say "PROBLEM COMMUNICATING BETWEEN PHONE AND PC" so I could never get it to update.
I had to follow this guide to get it to update http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-unbrick-lg-thrill-4g-back-to-stock.html (make sure you pick the ICS KDZ file 30B when you get to that step so download that first)
Even using this guide I ran into the problem communicating between phone and PC error again, but just pushed restart a few times and it finally worked.
Bottom line is your phone is P925 not P925p
Note: If you still have issues with the LG Support Tool, sometimes picking Change Country and setting it to another country, then setting it back to USA helps.
Hi,
I was running CM10 on LG P990.
I downgraded and installed stock rom using the:
BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20h-ESA-XXX-MAR-07-2012-0.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
So now I have BB 725 V20h.
I then try to connect and update the firmware using LG Support Tool, It says new firmaware is available and "Start Updating" , but when i start updating , after "Analysing" it says "Model not supported".
When i check Supported models tab --> it shows LG P990 is supported and latest firmware is V30b.
Could someone help me update to V30b using LG Support Tool.
Use the attached program, much easier and simpler.
Type P990 on model ofc, and enter your phones IMEI without using any -
Newest firmware, ICS (V30A or V30B) will appear and you can directly save it as .kdz which you need to extract and then you can flash it.
Hope this helped. Good luck.
Unsuccessful in connecting to server or server not responding

I've got almost exactly the same problem.
I've flashed V10D to my P990, and the software update menu on the phone says: "already latest version"
The update tool says also update available, and also "software update not supported for this model"
Any tips??:crying:
Froyo is realy bad after the V30A leak.
I really want the official (benelux) update and not the V30A leak.
hello all. my phone shows "reorganizing internal processes" whenever i try to make a call. bcoz of this it is unusable as a phone.
also imei is null, baseband is unknown and cellular is in NO SERVICE.
nothing works: tried reboot,
other roms (cm 11, zaiben, mahdi etc..),GetRIL app...
also i tried to flash latest v20c but it always stuck at 10%..
but i can flash anything from cwm(philz touch)
so can anyone please help me with the so said baseband in cwm flashable format or a cwm backup of latest v20c update?
i'll be grateful to anyone who looks into this issue.
thanks in advance.:good::good:
Hi,
I will have your thread moved to your device section.
Good luck!
You will not find ant flashable format for cwm... I think, did you try to flash v20b? Only way to change you baseband is to flash firmware.
i"ll try upload you stock partitions to flash ***when i find some free time***

dude, i cant "FLASH". thats the problem
What about LG Mobile support tool? Connect phone via USB and wait for the tool recognizing it. In the menu you can "reset upgrade errors", the tool downloads latest version for your phone automatically and flashes itself.
Yeah, the 4X is nearly unbrickable. Even when nothing works, LG Mobile support tool can get it back with a stock rom.
I am in Portugal and have the same problem. I read in a different thread that the problem of "reorganizing internal processes" is in fact a crash of the phone/radio process, due to hardware bug that stucks when both voice and data communications are requested at the same time in a 3G network. I'm not sure if even V20C can correct the problem. One solution is to switch to 2G in general, (EDGE data speeds... )and you won't have problems, When needing for a particular download, switch temporarly to 3G.
But if anyone have a 3G stable solution, please share as I am also highly interested!
I tried stock JB. In custom CM roms, for instance 4.4.4 (is what I have now), you won't have a "reorganizing..." message, but you will loose completely mobile communications when the problem occurs, and only a phone reboot will recover it

I did have sam problem wiht 10% thingy but I use the LGFlashtool2014 from the forum:
Code:
http://www.mediafire.com/download/wu50af8uh99air7/P880-Flashtools.rar
(credit to proper uploader, I dont remember where did I get it, sorry)
The problem causes by LG update software when you kdz from 20A to B or C.
about the IMEI the V20C not really solve my problem but it' sustainable.
Bests of luck.
Thanks. i'll try it.
any chance
Hi,
I'm entirely new to xda, but just had a concern i wanted to address. I rooted my G Flex (ls995) with stump root. Then i installed CWM via freedom flex and booted into recovery. After factory resetting my device, I readily attempted to install the att zip, "attsprint" to try and allow my ls995 to work with at&t. It flashed alright and all, but when i rebooted my phone, it displayed a black screen. I got the standard "LG" logo and then the screen goes black. The only way i even know it's on is because the small LED light on the front of the device is alternating gradually between a green and light blue color. So from here i tried flashing a stock rom via LG's flashtool. (Downloaded Flash Tool, replaced 'MegaLock' file, acquired ls995 4.2.2 stock and started up the flashing tool on my PC running Windows 7) Everything appeared to be working well; i got my PC to recognize my device reading "ready." I then disconnected the USB and reconnected it 5s later (as instructed) only to find the following error message...
" PID: PT04S140219001376
IMEI: 990003560308013
Model: D950
DLL: LS995
BIN: LSS995ZV3_17.S3_17.P51098.TOT
SWV: LSS995ZV9_03
SWOV: LSS995ZV9_03
Device Model is different!
Check Phone or DLL!
00000000 "
I'm afraid that after flashing the attsprint rom, the flashing tool is recognizing my device as an att model g flex, which it is not. Be it whatever it may be, i would greatly appreciate any help the talented people on this forum could throw my way.
Thanks Again,
