where is this lg customer care? here: http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-P504 ?
is there other method, like using kdz?
thanks!
Just flash your p500 with kdz firmware updater. You´ĺl need ḱdz update program and the Gingerbread rom for p500 in kdz format. Don worry by name, it can flash roms too.
Refer here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060121
OR
flashing stock rom via LGDMP is best option, refer this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1330684
I prefer LGDMP
(Don´t hesitate to use those programs because i have tried them once)

I have the P-504 in emergency mode and KDZ updater is the only software that will recognise it. I tried to flash the p500 firmware but that didn't work. Anyone have the 504 firmware in .kdz format? Or can you convert the .dz format to .kdz?

And Please, ive read posts on this forums about people who brick their phone by flashing zip roms, just because a few knuckle heads who cant read instructions brick their phone, no need to dismiss and scare away people.
If we dismiss every action that could brick your phone, dont bother having XDA forums =)
look up for a flashable zip with stock rom. You will lose root access.
I have tried with the P-500 firmware but it gives me an error code.18:27:37 : Smart : wParam = 100, lParam = 4008
18:27:37 : Step : Upgrade Error error code = 4008

Well, I just received my phone today and I decided to root it by following a guide. Little did I know that firmware I was rooting was not meant for this phone. Now the phone shows the Samsung screen for a split second and then it turns off.
Is there anything I can do to restore it back to normal? I only have access to download mode right now.

If you can get into download mode you're ok. You need to flash a stock rom and you'll be back to normal. Don't flash chainfire's root from the international thread because the kernel is not the same.

Here is an "official" Odin restore file to return your phone back to the shipping software. Why is this useful? Well, to restore your phone back to the stock software. This is an invaluable tool for anyone messing around with their phone. If/when an OTA update is released, I'll post any future stock Odin files here as well, but for now, there is only one. A nice way to say thanks is the donate button as well, and it will help keep my hosting alive for these huge Odin files.
[size=+1]Instructions[/size]
Download the file below
Put your phone into download mode and connect it to your computer
Open Odin and make sure your phone is selected
Put the downloaded file in the PDA box
Press start
Enjoy a stock phone

Much appreciated.

Okay so it was just purchased yesterday at Walmart with android 4.1.2 preinstalled.
I followed the guide here and when it rebooted i now have inverted everything. The digitizer thinks its being pressed in the middle of the screen on the right when i press the back button and well everything is flipped.
I am trying to get root for my brother so we can install CWM recovery and flash CM 10.1. I have rooted many devices even created ROMs and edit smali code. I don't get what is going wrong with this setup but something is totally wrong.
Thanks all for your help!

Hi forum, first I would like to thank you all for being what you are =) I'm pretty new here and I see a great community with great guides!
So, so start with I would like to say I'm a newbie when it comes to moding my phone, but what I did was I following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2529775 and it worked ou t great. I was on 4.4 KitKat but I saw a few apps acting weird etc, so I deicided to go back to stock.
I found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847 and I followed the steps and now my phone is back to stock with just one little problem (pretty huge actually ;P). I get "Not registered on network" whenever I try to call and SMS/mobiledata doesnt work. The simcard works just fine in my other phone (Walkman).
I have followed a few guides to fix the problem but none of the worked for me. I have tried:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7K6RDVRBhs
http://www.idroidspace.com/solved-not-registered-on-network-for-samsung-galaxy-devices/
and formating ofc
My IMEI number seem allright in settings.
IMEISV is 06 if that matters.
Please forum, help me fix my phone, it would mean ALOT to me. Please ask for more info if needed, just remember that im a newbie at this =)
