Does anyone have an updated location for the kp500 utils v0.4.2 file and the VC cab? Tried looking for them on other torrent sites and couldn't find anything. Thanks.

i used this method to unbrick my bad boot flash.
Normal mode just had LG(bootloop)
recovery mode was a black screen(recovery was working before the flash)
my Emergency mode kept resetting atrandom intervals(usually between10-20 seconds)

Had to do this 20-30 times then did the battery trick.
Yay. unbricked

Okay guys, I used this method for my bricked Optimus V. I was unable to get passed the LG boot up screen and was unable to use any key presses to get into system recovery or anything like that. So I tried this and it worked perfectly. BUT, now my Virgin Mobile Optimus is now SPRINT. I'm glad I was able to unbrick it, but now how do I change it back to Virgin Mobile? I've tried using most cab files out there but they don't seem to be working. Can someone please help me. Th cab's I used are VM670ZV4_13.S4_13.P61007.cab(this is missing a dll file) and VM670ZV5_07.cab. The sprint one I used came from Zefie..

Index of /zefie/files/cell/LGLS670/roms/LGUpdater/cab - Persona Files

LS670ZVD_12.SD_12.P60675.cab

What can I do? Please help me

These are the steps I took..

1) Disconnect phone from PC, power, and battery

2) Get kp500 utils v0.4.2 (MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service)

3) Get cab http://files.persona.cc/zefie/files/cell/LGLS670/roms/LGUpdater/cab/]Index of /zefie/files/cell/LGLS670/roms/LGUpdater/cab - Persona Files

4) Save cab as C:\LS670ZVC_11.SC_11.P60674.cab

5) Run KP500-Utils-EN.exe, need only that exe and all the DLLs from
zip in step 2

6) Press J

7) Model: LS670

8) Cab: C:\LS670ZVC_11.SC_11.P60674.cab (u can paste this into cmd
prompt by clicking icon on the top left, edit, paste)

9) Version: LS670ZVC

10) When LG fails to find your phone, launch "emergency mode". When
E-mode is active and the drivers are installed, press the "restart"
button on the LG update

11) The LG update will fail and say it lost connection with your
phone. The phone will say do not remove power. But guess what.. you
have to. So do so. Then plug it back in without any button voodoo and
it should go back to the updating warning.( if there is a % on the screen do not pull the cable)

12) Press restart on LG Updater and enjoy.


This is the Log File from trying to use the above VM cab files..

FIRST READ ALL OF THIS POST

You will need to go into EMERGENCY MODE(Will be called E-mode in this guide)
If you have a extra person around ask them to help you,use you toes if you have to,or buy a monkey.lol
*To enter E-mode*
You will hold the following buttons
hold volume down+camera+search(not the side one)then while plugging into pc press and hold power. You should go into a screen that has EMERGENCY MODE displayed in red letters.

We are not responsible for your device,don't blame us if your monkey stops eating bannans,your car gets a flat tire,if your sdcard grows legs and walks out your phone.We tried to test this as muchs possible but freak things happen and we can't be at fault.:D


1) Disconnect phone from PC, power, and battery

2) Get kp500 utils v0.4.2 (MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service)

3) Get VC cab (http://files.mysticmidnight.net/zef...PST Recovery/cab/LS670ZVC_11.SC_11.P60674.cab)

4) Save cab as C:\LS670ZVC_11.SC_11.P60674.cab

5) Run KP500-Utils-EN.exe, need only that exe and all the DLLs from
zip in step 2

6) Press J

7) Model: LS670

8) Cab: C:\LS670ZVC_11.SC_11.P60674.cab (u can paste this into cmd
prompt by clicking icon on the top left, edit, paste)

9) Version: LS670ZVC

10) When LG fails to find your phone, launch "emergency mode". When
E-mode is active and the drivers are installed, press the "restart"
button on the LG update

11) The LG update will fail and say it lost connection with your
phone. The phone will say do not remove power. But guess what.. you
have to. So do so. Then plug it back in without any button voodoo and
it should go back to the updating warning.( if there is a % on the screen do not pull the cable)

12) Press restart on LG Updater and enjoy.


Once everything is done go back up one post and hit that thanks button for zefie cause without him this wouldn't of been possible. Plus he tested this several times so thank you again zefie.;) Thanks goes to our phones we bricked that lead us to this.lol

My phone has no screen working.. Just blank.. The backlight comes on, and the buttons have light. But it has no light.. Can't tell if it goes into Emergncy mode or not :\

I flashed the wrong kdz now this whole thing got even worse :((
Any advice??

What recovery do you have installed and where did you get it? Have you tried any of the screencast software yet?

There is the problem. Clockworkmod isn't compatible with the OptiS

That's not entirely true. The problem is that he is using a version for an Optimus C, which is not an Optimus S; THAT instance of CWM is not compatible. XIonia or an earlier version of Drew's CWMT are examples of ported CWM that does work. The poster needs to ensure compatibility of the software he is installing, instead of assuming that it's close enough.

The version I used to use was Clockwork Mod for LG Optimus V and it worked perfectly. But after I got this new one Optimus V recovery wouldnt boot so I instead use Optimus C and controled it via ROM Manager. But to the point I cannot use my Optimus C recovery although I can boot in to it fine. There is no selection key. It is appreciated if anyone could teach me if it is posible to get standard flash by using E-MODE? All replied are appeciated Thank yall for your help.
