That's what I thought.
See that big fat "0" to the left of 2011-03-17? That's the file size. And right now it's a big fat nothing. Which means flash_image doesn't do diddly squat when executed.
Here's how to fix it:
1) Again, remove all instances of flash_image from /system/bin and /sdcard
2) Remove all instances of flash_image from your computer.
3) Download flash_image.zip from the Xionia recovery thread.
4) Copy flash_image from inside the ZIP file to the sdcard.
5) Make sure the /system is mounted read-write
6) Execute this:

When download the flash_image it says its only 12kb??? is that all the bigger it is?
The extracted file in the folder flash_image is 26kb
Looks like /sdcard/flash_image is a directory, not a file. Post the output of
Yes, flash_image is 26Kb, when you do ls -l it should be 26172, not 0.
EDIT: Why did you copy the flash_image directory? I told you to copy the flash_image FILE. No matter, this will work anyway.
Sorry about that, it is the right size this time. Should remove the file from the directory and place it on the root of the card or leave as is?
Umm, what? I can't even see the bottom of that screen.
EDIT: Just kidding, I see it now. Sweet. Now post the output of:
Sweet I flashed it and this time it took a couple seconds for it to show the next line and now when I reboot in recov i have a black screen which I am assuming is a good thing right about now!
Yep. Use Android Screencast and you'll be able to see what you're doing. Or you can flash Xionia .4 which is based on the VC kernel (therefore has the drivers for the new LCD screen).
Thanks a million man!!! Your the man would be totally lost without you! So just conitnue now with part 5 like you said before after updating with lg updater?
Do step 6 in Part 1 (this will update you to LS670ZVD), then do Part 5. Also, make sure your device is in regular Android mode before using the LG update tool.
Warning: I just now realized that Quick Boot won't work until you're rooted so instead of using Quick Boot to reboot to recovery mode, just issue
from a Windows command prompt (NOT in adb shell).
Will doing this update bring me back to having the proper driver for the screen? Thought that before when I was having problem on V9 i tried using this and still didnt have any display and had to use the revert back to vc. If this fails can i revert back to vd?
I see no reason why the VD update shouldn't work with the screen. And yes, you will be able to revert to VC and still be able to follow Part 5 of the VD rooting guide.
I just traded my Optimus V for the Optimus S today and it came with VC, I cant seem to get past step 9, it disconnects once and reconnects but that's it, after that if i try adb shell it says device not found. Any suggestions?
