TUTORIAL FOR UPDATEING P500 to GB(baseband update), ROOT THE PHONE, FLASH CWM RECOVERY
I made this tutorial because i took me 4 h of intensive searching for the methods above ,and i hate to search for this kind of things and im sure that im not the only one , with this thread i will redirect you to the topics that you will need to follow, or i will explain to you what to do.
FIRST: Install the USB drivers from http://www.lg.com/us/support/mobile-support download PC Sync, we need the app for the latest USB drivers, or download the USB drivers alone.
Then go in your mobile, in Settings/Applications/Development and enable USB Debugging then go back under Applications Settings make sure that you got checked Unknown Sources
NOTE: I`M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MY BUILD MAY CAUSE TO YOUR DEVICE, TRY IT ON YOUR OWN RISK!
NOR ME OR OTHER DEVELOPER CAN NOT BE NAMED AS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MALFUNCTION/S THAT MAY OCCUR.And also that i dont have a P500 i have a Galaxy Mini and i build just for tass brunch
You are a noob? you dont know really where to start? ###DONT PANIC###!!!! first step is to check if you got android 2.3.3, witch is also known as Gingerbread, (how you do that? you go into Settings/About Phone and scroll down and you will see Android version.)
If you are on Android 2.2.2 or older then you must follow THIS simple tutorial, and you will update your phone to ver 2.3.3 and the baseband to so you can skip step one.
1. GB Baseband update
Now, if you got Gingerbread you must make sure that you got the latest baseband so it will work with all the custom roms that you are planing to install. Check THIS topic for that,and on the buttom you will se an image, if that basebang is identic with yours or similar, skip this step if NOT then download the P500-v20G-baseband.7z on the buttom of the page, and read to post so you will know what to do...its so easy.
TIP: Will will get 2 popups with OK and CANCEL, and the OK Button its blocked, dont press CANCEL wait 4-7 seconds before you can press the OK.

TIP: If get you and error, then pull the battery out of the phone, disconnect the USB cable the power the phone back on and connect the cable and try again

Rom manager caused boot loop
Hi.. I installed Rom Manager onto my friends p500 (it was rooted earlier). but custom recovery was not installed..so i flashed the latest cmw through the rom manager app.
After which i selected to create a back up.. The mobile restarted (to enter the cmw recovery for backup operation).. but soon after the restart the mobile got stuck at the LG Logo.. I waited for about 10mins and it did not respond. Then i removed the battery and then power it on.. but it is stuck at the LG logo.. I am unable to get into custom recovery.. (power+home+volumeup).
Also, Mobile is not detected when connected to pc.
How to resolve this issue?? Please help

First of all: Good thing it didn't work yet, because you would have bricked your phone, you're on the wrong firmware/baseband to make the ROM work.
Secondly: Xrecovery isn't standard software on your phone, so it won't work without some effort.
So here's what you do:
1. Use SEUS or PC Companion to update your firmware to 2.1.1.A.0.6 with Baseband version M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404015
(If it won't update your phone, send me a pm i'll give you the link for firmware you can flash with flashtool)
2. Use Flashtool to root your Phone
3. Use Flashtool to install XRecovery
After that: boot into XRecovery and install your chosen ROM according to the instructions in the post you got it from.
If you need CWM to flash the ROM, there is a version that can be flashed with XRecovery, it's the easiest way.

Did you download and install Sony PC Companion or Sony Update Service?
If not, do it, it will have the proper drivers and you will probably need it sooner or later anyway

Hello everybody and welcome to my second guide for how to get root, unlocked bootloader, CWM, and finally installing the roms for our precious LG optimus L5! (e610,12 and 17)
Let's start!
If you are still on android 4.0.3 (Ice Cream Sandwich, follow my other guide: ICS GUIDE
ALL in one!
So for rooting Jellybean i haven't found a proper root method yet, so that means we are going to flash a pre-rooted kdz file!
In this case this pre-rooted kdz file also contains unlocked bootloader and CWM so this is much easier.
1. Download kdz updater (attatched below)
2. Be sure to first install msxml.msi or else you will get crash during the update process.
3. Download the all in one kdz file, this contains firware version 20D Baltic with root, unlocked boot and CWM recovery. (comes in all languages)
4. Make a backup of your phone, contacts etc. (optional)
5. Once you downloaded everything, take your phone out of your pocket and turn it off.
6. Hold the "-" volume button and connect your phone with your pc (make sure you have all the drivers installed)
7. Now your phone should be in emergency/download mode
8. Now we are going to install the new firmware, open up KDZ_updater.exe and set the type to: 3GQCT and phone mode to DIAG
select the kdz file you just downloaded (20d+root + cwm.kdz) and click "launch software update".
9. KDZ updater will probably crash, this is normal, that means that it is finished the last code you will see is something like "wparam: 100"
10.If everything went well your phone should reboot and launch in the new firmware. Download "superuser" from Playstore.
When your phone is bricked you can just follow these steps again to unbrick your device.
Installing custom roms
1. Download the custom rom you want and place it on you phone. (Preferred on external SD card)
2. To install custom roms you have to go into CWM (clock work mod). you can enter CWM by going into terminal and type "su" and then "reboot recovery" OR turn your device off, then press volume"-" + home button + power button until it vibrates and shows LG logo then release only power button and keep pressing both of the others for about 8 seconds then release.
3. While you are in CWM you can navigate with the + and - volume buttons and the power button is enter.
4. Before you install any new rom, wipe everything from your phone by going to "mounts and storage menu" --> format /cache, /data and /media, /system, /sdcard, then wipe the dalvik cache under the advanced tab. If you don't do this you can get problems!
So now you can select your customrom.zip and press the power button, your rom will now install. after it is installed you can reboot your phone and if you did everything right your phone should boot into your new rom, the first boot can take a long time sometimes.
Some custom roms for jellybean:
CM10.1
CM10.2
JellyBeer
If you want a ICS based rom like cm10 or MIUI you first have to flash v10 baseband attatched below.
Happy Flashing!
oh thank god. there is still development for our little l5. thanks you very much. gonna test asap

You're right. The E617G does not have 4.1.2 with stock anyways, only 4.0.3. Please disregard my post.
I meant to post this in in the ICS thread, where it states that there is no unlocked bootloader support for the E617, which is false.
Key combination for recovery is (if I'm not wrong cause it sometimes fails just keep trying) volume"-" + home button + power button until it vibrates and show LG logo then release only power button and keep pressing both of the others for about 8 seconds then release.

KDZ update over V10 failed
Hello,
I tried to isntall this V20 KDZ on top of a V10E image on a E612F.
After flashing and booting,"Home" and "Lg Setup" and "Laucher" and all other apps start crashing.
If I try to flash a V10 KDZ back on, it fails with error "Wparam 100 LParam 1002" after the phone reboots to download mode.
I am only able to flash V20 KDZ files and I can`t get the phone to a point where adb works in order to replace bootloader or whatever.
Any idea to solve this?
Thanks

- maybe a factory reset helps, on this site they explain how: http://www.hard-reset.com/lg-optimus-l5-hard-reset.html
If that didn't worked, can you go into recovery? If so, wipe /system,/data,
/cache and flash over a custom rom like cm10.1 or Flatzki's cleanrom --> not too heavy modified and good performance

Thanks, I tried resetting with the Vol - + PWR + HOME, but the phone behavior was not what I expected. In the end, I managed to install The modded V20 from xoxodemo's thread and mixing and matching with bootloaders for E610 and latest CWM. This allowed me to install CM10.1 on the E612f
Thanks, anyway =)
Hi , just bought a new LG L5II E455 with JB 4.1.2. yay!
so before messing things up just wanted to know if this guide also
covers this model?
had some MTK 65xx phones before and using MtkDroidTools for backup and root
but seems it can't do squat about this phone. so as a seasoned droid user I know
my first step before anythings else should be making a full backup so which tool/flasher
would you suggest?
tnx.

I think you can simply check if this problem happens in another computer.
Then tell the result here.
I haven't encountered with this type of problem.

Don't think anyone can help a lot because it doesn't seem a normal issue.
What I would say for sure is that the firewall is not the problem because it is off and even if it were on that should not affect the communication between a computer and a phone via USB cable as that is not an IP communication.
PC Companion is not needed to flash a ROM with flashtools.
You don't install flashtools anywhere. The only thing you install for flashtool are the drivers and those are installed in the place where Windows needs to install them. But the application is not installed anywhere it can be run from any place as far as I know. It should work just perfectly from a pendrive, external drive, from drive C, D, or Z, ..., or whatever other storage device. Besides if the process starts you can imply flashtool is working properly.
So the only things I could bet are:
* you have a faulty ROM file. But probably this is not the case as I suppose if you have a faulty ROM flashtools will warn about it somewhere when it reads the ROM.
* you are not using the correct ROM for your phone model (ST25i or ST25a).
* you have a faulty USB cable or USB connector that lost connection on the middle of the process.
* you had not enough battery on the phone when you started the flash proccess so the phone lost power on the middle of the process.
(if flashtools finish the flash process correctly with the message that ask you to unplug and restart phone then 3 and 4 can be discarded)
What I would do is check which phone you own ST25i or ST25a and download the stock 6.1.1.B.1.100 ROM for your model from a reliable source and if possible from somewhere that offers an MD5 checksum to be sure you get the file without errors. Download again the last version of flashtools. Be sure when you flash to have enough battery on the phone (not sure what is the recommendation but more than 60% should be safe). When you flash rest the phone somewhere where nor the phone nor the cable move the least to avoid any lost of connection on the middle of the transfer.
Or you can just install PC Companion and update to the official ROM but probably that would be 6.1.1.B.1.54 ROM that doesn't work very good on my experience.

Don't think anyone can help a lot because it doesn't seem a normal issue.
What I would say for sure is that the firewall is not the problem because it is off and even if it were on that should not affect the communication between a computer and a phone via USB cable as that is not an IP communication.
PC Companion is not needed to flash a ROM with flashtools.

Hello everyone,
I tryed multiple time to flash my phone (original ROM) with Odin and other software. Every time the connection cannot be established. I have tried with different computers and different cables, including the original one. I came to the conclusion that Micro USB connector in my phone is broken. I can still recharge but data transfer is not possible.
I have an SD card where i can put a ROM in order to update my phone. But if i'm correct that isn't possible if I don't have ClockworkMod Recovery.
So finaly my question: Is it possible to root install a custom recovery without a cable and without root?
So in oder words: If it's not rooted and i have the Stocked recovery I can't do anything without the usb connector.
Version out of the box:
Device: GT-I9300
Android version 4.3
Baseband I9300BOUGMK3
Kernel version:
3.0.31.2303192
[email protected] #1
Build number:
JSS15J.I9300XXUGML2
Have a nice day!

My question to you would be why do you want custom recovery when you do not want root access??

I would like both. But at this moment I have no USB connector (broken). So I have some kind of a boostrap issue.
Without root no flashing from device
Without custom recovery no root and no other rom.
You need to look for a custom recovery that can be flashed using the update.zip facility in stock. I'm not aware of one but happy searching.

Then you have to flash a "CF-root.tar" file with odin. Then your stock kernel will be rooted, su will be installed and also a custom recovery.
In most cases it will be CWM..... ..... Happy Flashing :angel:

Sounds great, but i can't find any signed custom recovery... I'm now downloading the whole internet on my PC so i can perform a grep...
The issue is that i can't use ODIN because my USB connector is broken.

Thats r8
But there could or is the possibility to root phones with an "odin root apk" .But i think one should not do it in this way
cause you could break your device....The download mode with an odin program and an USB connection to your phone
is the only way.
Same problem.
I use fiwe diferent cables .I changed the USB port on phone. NO connection to PC. i dont known what do next. I've tried everything. can't conect sgs3 to odin. no posibility root. please help. thanks.
All drivers installed. Kies dont see phone. I try on windows xp windows 7 windows 8 same problem
