Hey Tommy, any way you could update this thread and throw the ZVI update in the op and topic too, just since it is pinned so we can find it easily? I know you posted it in the other thread.

Appreciate all the help you've provided around here!

I can't get this to work. Is this guide for windows 7 x64? When I click on the arrow to start the process, it just says Ready!!! I unplug and reconnect the phone, no change.

Did you go into device manager and change the port number?

I'm trying to unbrick my Viper. I rooted it and disabled the voicemail and messenger apps on it, and a few others which I don't recall, and now I get the "security error".


Now, I've followed all the steps. I'm using the files from this thread: http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg-...dll-print.html

When I load the files in the LG Tool, following the instructions above, and hit the start button, nothing seems to happen. The start-button fades (as expected) and the stop-button lights up, indicating that something has started. But the phone just sits doing seemingly nothing. Has the same message "Download is in progress do not disconnect cable" but no matter how long I wait, nothing happens.

I see no % indicator on my computer or phone. The phone did have Android 4.0.4 and I do have the drivers installed. I was sure to double check the com ports in the device manager and followed the steps as best I can. All I can figure is that the dll file isn't quite what my phone wants or something.

I've tried unplugging and replugging the USB but no luck.

Running Windows 7 64bit.

EDIT TO ABOVE reply.

I have the LG tool working now. I had one step that I was screwing up. I was not seeing the "manual mode" check box under the Model Settings.

I was actually selecting the correct files to begin with, but I wasn't selecting the manual mode checkbox and removing the pre-loaded file names (which were the same files, just as you said in the tutorial).

It's seemingly doing it's thing now. We'll see when it's done. Thanks for all your help.

EDIT again--- It worked. Thank you for all your help in this tutorial, you were as clear as you needed to be and I just didn't notice the "manual mode" button.


The LG tool actually snagged at 88%, and then gave me a red warning "Download Fail" and lost communication with "specific port".

Well either way the phone is working now, restored to original factory bloatware-obesity. Now to root it and NOT delete the wrong crap like I did the other day.

Thanks!

Once the phone reboots the first time you can unplug the phone. most of the time it will 98 percent and turn red in percentage . but don't worry when phone reboots its unbricked.
